MORE PRESS PROSECUTIONS. (Front the Daily Hews.) Within the last few days we have had to carry on a correspondence with the attorneys-at-law of Lieut.-General the Earl of Lucan ; and it has ter minated in an announcement by those gentlemen that they are instructed on the part of their noble client to bring an action for libel against this jour nal for an article on the Report of the Chelsea Board of General Officers, which appeared so long ago as the 26th July last, but which was complain= ed of only two weeks since. Always ready to give reparation where injury is supposed to have been inflicted, we pursued the usual, and, as we think, the proper course, on receipt of Lord Lucas's first communication, and informed his Lordship that the co l umns o f the Daily News were open to any explanations or complaints which he had to make. This offer was somewhat imperi ously rejected, and an ample apology was perehop torily demanded for the opinions we had expressed. As, however, the article which they were con tained was of a very general description, and treated of the whole conduct of the earlier part of the war, we very naturally requested Lord Lucan's attorneys to point out the particular passages in it that were regarded as libellous by his Lordship, and to inform us of the nature and terms of the apology which Lord Lucan required. We did this in order that we might perfectly understand and fully appreciate the precise nature of Lord Lucan's complaint, and so be in a position thoroughly to estimate the extent of the repaaation he sought. To this request Lord Lucan has directed a refusal to be returned. He charges us with having libel led him, but he declines to inform us in what, or of what the libel consists. Ho refers us to the whole of an article of which nine-tenths concern other people, as being throughout libellous of him. Re fusing to specify the wrongs he thinks we have done him, he requires a most plenary apology, the terms and language of which heleaves to ourown imagina tion, and, without even waiting to know whether we will or will not apologise for an offence of which we are refused knowledge, ho demands the name, not of our friend; but of our lawyer. His demand on that point having at least the merit of being intelligible, h as , o f course, been complied with, and in one of the common law courts of the Queen we shall be furnished in precise and definite terms with the language which Lord Lucan terms a libel, but which the Judges of this land and a British Jury may, after all, think to be a perfectly fair expression of opinion on his public and mili tary conduct. Conscious of having no personal ill-feeling or dis like of Lord Lucan, and having formed our judg ment on his conduct in the Crimea, and subse quently out of the Crimea, on data before all the world, we are not at all inclined to shrink from de fending in a court of justice the opinions we have deliberately expressed. If, therefore, Lord Lucan means in our person to attempt to punish the Press because, in thehonest discharge of its duties, it has pronounced a judgment adverse to him, or endeavour to repress that freedom of discussion which Lord Lucan himself has, on more than one occasion, publicly carried t o an ex t ent and licence which itis not the practice of respectable journals to indulge in, we are quite content to meet him. We have no love of legal strife or contention, but if through our means Lord Lucan seeks to obtain the opinion of a Jury of Englishmen on the part he played in the Russian war, and in the controversies which arose out of his removal by the Queen, on the recommendation of Lord Hardinge, from the command of the Cavalry Division in the Crimea, we feel that we haveagreat public duty to perform, and however indisposed generally to appear as de fendants in courts of law, we will enable him to take that opinion. Restless and impatient at Lord Hardinge's twice-repeated refusal of a court martial to investigate the transactions which produced his dismissal, Lord Lucan may have resolved on vindicating himself, if he can, be fore a civil tribunal. If so, 'we shall at least have a cause celebre with which to amuse and in struct thepublic. Of its result we have no serious apprehensions. At all events, the liberty of th e press, and th e r i g ht an d d uty of free discussion on all public questions, shall not suffer at our hands. For any verbal harshness of expression we might have expressed regret ; but for the general judg ment we have passed on Lord Lucan, in his public capacity, we cannot apologise, because we feel there is nothing in that judgment for which an apology is due. It would not become us further to allude to a matter which must be settled elsewhere, nor should we now have biought forward this topic so promi nently if it had not happened that this attempt to coerce the expression of opinion had been made almost contemporaneously with the publication, by Lord Lucan, of a little book under the title of "English Cavalry in the Army of the East, 1854 and 1855," but which contains only "divisional orders and correspondence whilst under the coin- niand of Lieutenant-General the Earl of Lucan, 1C.0.8.," and is stated to be, in fact, the intended appendix to a larger work. We cannot imagine the " circumstances which have made it desirable that their publication should not be further de ferred," but we presume that our noble antagonist can scarcely object to our giving increased publicity to a work of so much interest in his eyes. We have carefully perused these orders and that cor respondence, and while wo find in them ample proof of Lord Lucan's military spirit, and are disposed to hope that zeal for the service of his country was the guide of his conduct in the sad affair at Balaklava, they yield, we must say, most abundant support to the adverse opinion generally entertained by the public as to the character and composition of the Staff. It is impossible to rise from a perusal of this little volume without feeling that a conviction existed both in the minds of the officers of high social rank in theerienean army, and of its first General, that they were a peculiar class to be specially cared for and treated, and we cannot show this better than ;'..)37 quoting somewhat at large from the correspon. dente contained in it. On the 9th of January, 1855, Lord Lucao, in a letter to Lord John Rus sell, complaining of his observations in Parliament on the Es.laklava charge, says— With many tfficers in this army, a sense of duty and an ambition of professional distinction are the sole in ducements to hold commands of great responsibility under no ordinary difficulties. How mortifying and how great mnst be the disappointment of any swill officer, &c. Now what does this imply but that there aresome officers to be more considered than others by their superiors and the Government, because a sense of duty and ambition of distinction are their " sole inducement to hold commands ?" Other officers hold commands as a means of living, and as al life long profession ; but they are another and different sort of people—their feelin g s are to be diff erent l y estimated and t rea t e d. And this correspondence proves that such was actually the case in the army of the Crimea. Twice did Lord Lucan achiress (once in June, 1854, and again in August, 1854) letters intended for Lord Raglan's perusal of a character such as we do not care to describe. To the former of the communications lie received the fol lowing replie.4 and entreaties from Lord Do Ros , then high on L or d R ag l an ' s staff : Scutari, June 11, 1854. My dear Lucan,—lf you requ re it, I will delivc-r your lette'r to Lord Raglan, but if you leave anything to my judgment, I strongly advise this letter being sup pressed. My opinion is, that you should go to Varna ; and I shall press that opinion both on public grounds and from private friendship. Unless I hear again from you to-day, I shall not deliver your letter. Think it well ovtr, and do not send itme unle , s you are convinced I am wrong.— Ever truly yr,urs, (Signed) DE Ros. Well, Lord Do Ros did, from "private friend ship," press his opinion on Lord Raglan that Lord Lucan should not beleft at Kulalie, as Lord Raglan had previously determined, and of course Lord Lucan, despite his suppressed letter, had his wisliekt gratified. Illy dear Lucan,—On my suggeei June 12, 1854ng this morning to Lc,re Raglan the advantage of your being at Varna, io sup( rintend the arrival and quartering of caval r y rEg i. mink as they arrive, he agreed to it ; and you will there fore be so good as to hold yourself in rea - dine-s to pro ceed thither in a few days.—Faith fully yours, (Signed) DE Ros. llajor General the Earl of Lucan, Commanding Cavalry Division. Lord Lucas's second letter was addressed to the " Ceannand e r o f th e F orces " hi mse lf , an d it com plained, in the strongest terms, of the favouritism shown to Lord Cardigan, and Lord Raglan's dis paragement of himself, notwithstanding Lord Limn had " had the honour and pleasure of Lord Raglan's intimate acquaintance during many years." Now to this letter is appended "Note.—Th e above letter wai withdraan.—LuoAN.” Aare we have two of Lord Lucia's letters with drawn. At last, however, in September, 1854, when in the Crimea, Lord Cardigan in his tuz n complains of Lord Lucan to Lord Rfglan. On this occasion Lord Raglan decided that Lord Cardigan was ot wrong in every one of the instances cited" Bat Such was the display of animosity bctfore him in the correspondence, " which he bad pertivd with the deepest regret," that Lord R ag l an liumbiy appealed• J to two officers of that class of his army with whom, to use Lord Lucan's language, "a s ense of dut.v and ainhition of professional distinction are th e so l e inducement to hold conad in the f o ll o _ .rnuis, , ' wipg terms : • ---- - The Earl of Lucan and the Lri of Cardigan are nearly connected. They are both gentlemen of hi g h honour and elevated position in the country, indeptn dently of their military rank. They must permit me, as the Commander of the F. orces—and, I may say, THE SUN, LONDON, SAMOAN' EVENING _SEPTEMBER 20, 185 n. the friend of both, earnestly to recommend to them to communicate freely with each other, and to come to such an understanding as that there shoo d be no sus picion of the contempt of authority on one side, and no apprehension of undue iafluence on th other. RAGLAN. Even this appeal of " the friend o• both" faded ;. to the last hour they were both in he Crimea the controversy as to authority was pr-longed. That, however, is not the question just now. We simply quote these passages to show that the distine tion asserted by Lord Lucan in his letter to Lord John Russell, and referred to by Lord Raglan himself in his memorandum, did practically exist in the British army in the East ; that it was recog nised by Lord Raglan's staff ; that it influenced Lord R iglan himself ; and that the complai n ts of favouritism and nepotism, which at first whispered, became louder and more general among the British public as the horrible 'sufferings of our army be cause more fully known, were well founded ; and the. manner in which these facts are paraded to the public eye without any sense of their impropriety and evil consequences, shows how much remains to beNone by public opinion before a real and effec tual reform will be carried out in the British army. it 1.4; I. A . .0 • DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING. THE TIPPERARY BANK. Acting upon the advice suggested by some of the Irish journals, it is probable that the _deposi tors of the ill-fated Tipperary Bank will take coun sel together, with a view of avoiding or staving off the wholesale litigation foreshadowed in a state ment copied in Ihe Sll2l, of Tuesday from one of the Dublin morning papers. November term is at hand, and a creditor of the bank warns the deposi tors that if the thousand writs threatened should actually be issued the cost of resistance in each case would not be less than 10/ Last ter m th ere were four writs issued by the Court of Common Pleas against four of the shareholders on a debt of 201., and that proceeding will in all likehood in crease the original debt of 201. to 2201. If the depositors, therefore, are men of common sense, they must see the dangers which beset them at every side, and that nothing but prompt action can rescue them from a position even more hope less than that which they held in the month of July last. The case is almost desperate. The following proceedings in reference to the affairs of James Sadleir took place yesterday in the office of the Master in Chancery:— " Gallia), fro.o Mr. J. D. Meldon's office, ap peared before the Master to submit a statement on the part of Mr. M`Dowel!, the receiver arid respondent in the case, relative to the furnitu r e o f M r . J ames S a dl e i r , which Mad been i;erzid, and to take the Master's direc tions as to bow it should be disposed of ; and also with respect to the letting of part of the lands of Kilconnel, Ballyvelade, and Cooluarnuck. The statement set forth that a portion of the furniture was deposited in the store of Mr. Thornton, auctioneer in Cloumel, and another portion was stored in the establishment of Mr. Dillon, auctioneer in this city • that the furniture would be de teriorated in value if kept in store longer ; that it would be for the advantage of the estate to have it sold forth. with ; and that the solicitor for Mr. James Sadleir had consented that it should be sold by the receiver. "Mr. Findlater (of the firm of Findlater and Co., soli citor :or the pe itiuner) said that when the matter was before the Chancellor they pointed out the benefit of having the furniture sold, but the proposition was op posed by Mr. Sadleir's counsel, and the Chancellor re fused to make the order. " The Master how he could make it if the Chan , miler bad refused ? " Mr. Fuadlater Faid the Chancellor had declined to make the order because counsel on the pact of Mr. Sad leir opposed it ; but his folicitor now consented that the receiver should have the furniture sold, It should now be decided whether the portion of the furniture which was in Clonmel should he sold there, or whether it would be better to have it all brought to Dublin for sale. Some of the furniture was of such a character that it would be injured if kept in store any longer; it included a mirror that cost 1201. There was a large quantity of plate and jewellery wh ch had not yet been found, bat they still coped to be able to discover wt:ere it was deposited. " The Master said he would make the order for the sale of the furniture by the 'receiver in such manner as would be most beneficial for the estate. " Mr. Galvin said the statement also referred to por tions of the lands abovementioned, which had been in the possession of Mr. James Sadleir. There was some good winter pasturage, for which a fair price could now be obtained, and it was scggested that it would be as well to have it let at once. There were at Kilconnell some large heaps of lime, and some farming implements, which ought to be disposed of. "Tee Mater observed, that this property having been ►n the possession or occupation of Mr. Sadleir himself, it was a suhject for consideratio❑ whethe-r it would be judicious to let the land now for grazing purposes. " Aftt , r some discussion, " r e Master said that if the receiver advertised for proposals to be sent in within ten - days for the grazing of Lae portion of the lands in question he would be able to gee what description cf persons proposed to take them, and whether i; would be advisable to accept their pro. poials. "An order to this effect was made." oxeontion of the convict Waready, of the COtil Light Infantry, ways : ‘4 On Monday next the extreme penalty of the law, the forfeiture of his life. will be undergone by this unfortunate man, who, it will ha remembered, was convicted at the last assiz , s of having wilfully killed Sergeant Guinea, by di c arging a loaded rnu:ket at him, in the Fermoy Barracks. The unhappy man has, since his sentence was passed, deported himself with the utmost propriety of conduct, attending with the most marked attention to the religions ministrations of the Roman Catholic chaplain of the prison, who has been unremitting and indefatigable in his exertions to afford the convict all• the consolation and comfort of religion. M'Cready, we understand, seems reconciled to the ful filment of the terrible sentence, and ha 3 not been beard to speak in any t - ,arsh terms against the witnesses on whose testimony he watt convicted."

(Front the Morning Post of this day ) Our Paris Correspondent informed us yesterday, in the letter which appeared in our second edition, that the French Government, unless some unforeseen event occur, is about to recall M. Brenier and the whole of the embassy from Naples. To this we may now add that a similar course will, we are enabled to state, be taken by the Queen's Government. The whole of our diplomacy will be recalled from the Neapolitan Court. We shall send, as will the French, two line-of-battle ships and a correspond ing force of frigates. These will be the representa tives of the Alliance—these will protect the interests of the subjects of both Powers—through these alone will either communicate with the King. It will be seen from these facts that there is no doubt of the correctness of our Correspondent's statement. He goes on to to add, that the last despatches of the French diplomatist do not now hold out any hopes of au amicable settlement of the Neapoli tan difficulties. In this assertion we are quite convinced that both he and the diplomatist are warranted by the truth. It is not likely that the unwise and cunning obstinacy which the King has always hitherto displayed, and in which he is supported by the few evil councillors on whom he leans, should leave him Budd, nly on the arguments of England and France. It is not likely that the doubtful mediation of Austria would change more than the words of that unhappy Monarch who is cursed with the domination of a country whieh God has made the fairest, and which his terrible misrule has made the most wretched, on the face of the earth. We believe, therefore, that there is np likelihood of a return to friendship between the Court of Naples and those of France and England. Wuat part these great Allied Powers may be ultimately compelled to take in the settle ment of Neapolitan and of Italian affairs remains to be determined. The question of interference in the infernal con cerns of foreign States, of meddling with their misgovernment, is, without doubt, delicate and difficult. We avoid doing this ; and, urCess we did so most strictly, unless we laid down a broad line on the subject, we should be perpetually at war. We allow kings and subjects, as a rule, to settle these matters between themselves. We merely give to the former advice which we think will save them from the effecis of the madness of the latter when they have raised it by long perse vetance in ill-treatment. But, when advice of this sort. is treated with scorn—when it is met by inso lence or evasion—when the certain consequences of the course are such as threaten the peace of Europe, the Great Alliance which has undertaken to keep that peace is bound to make some effort beyond that of using words which have been used again and again, and have been found ineffectual. The Allied Powers do not interfere between the Govern ment and those whom it so grievously misgoverns. That is a measure which can only be warranted by a very extreme state of things, by the absolute ne cessity of a general agreement to restore order, if it be found necessary, by force. We have, however, undoubtedly in such a case as that of Naples, the right to withdraw our diplomatic force, to decline all further communication according to the usual forms of peace, to abstain from givinc , , by our presence as a St a t e , our encouragement and our sanction to a policy which is ruining the fairest country in the world, which persists in condemning to a torture, on which we shudder to thi n k, some o f its best and noblest citizens. No State, no man, can accuse us of hasty dealing or precipitation in this matter. We have tried with the greatest care and patience to make ourselves heard and understood by the Monarch of a third-rate State. We have utterly failed in all our attempts. We have awaited calmly the effects of the mediation of another power. That has also failed. We have nothing left but to decline any guise of friendly relations with a system which is abhorrent to us; •to with draw from all official communication with the au thor of that system ; to protect our subjects and our interest's by the presence of a strong armed force, such as can fully con t ro l any m i sch i ef that the Cin g of Naples may devise. A short time will show us how that Sovereign will comprehend and how he will act on this last and strongest argu ment of the Western Alliance. Naval -and Military intelligence.

The Evening Post calls attention to a remarkable circumstance which has marked the progress of this year's harvest—namely, an equality of wages for labour in England and in this portion of the United Kingdom. After a brief reference to this strange feature of the social revolution 'the Post proceeds as follows : " Some days since we copied a paragraph, mention ing that hundreds of labourers had returned to Dun dalk, after failing in their attempts to obtain employment in England. While they had been away there had been complain is of the want of labourers at home, and wages advanced considerably in most parts of Ireland. From 2s. to 3s. per day were usually paid in those districts from which we have obtained reports ; and, in some cases—probably few in number—food was given with 3>. per day. This, we believe, is fully as high a rate of remuneration, if not higher, than the Ira' e ordinarily paid for fieldwork in England during the present har vest. We know that there has been within the last few years a tendency to increase of wages in this country from the miserable rates which had prevailed in former years, and when the late Duke of Wellington proposed, by legislation, to provide for the payment of wages to agricultural labourers in money. We remember a case that was beard not very long ago, at Macroom Sessions, where a labourer woo had been for several weeks employed by a farmer, sought to recover a sum equal to ld. per, day for his time and labour ! This might have been a merely exceptional case ; but there cau be no doubt that wages, for many years before the famine, seldom were up to Is. a-day, and were generally not more than half that amount. Very often money was not paid at all, a small portion of po tatoe land forming the remuneration for labour. This system was at the very root of the social evils of the country, and had been productive of the worst possible consequences. Fortunately a great change has occurred since the famine in everything connected with Irish agri culture ; the condition of the labourer has been steadily improving, and it will not, we believe, be materially af fect.-2d by the introduction of reaping-machine 3 or other substitutes for human labour, because there will be ample means of profitable employment in branches of husbandry in which machinery cannot be made avail able. A corresponib nt of this journal, thoroughly so quainted with farming, and who has long taken the deepest interest in the welfare of the labouring classes, has called our attention to the fact that labourers have been during this liar% elt so scarce in some parts of Meath that women had to be employed as reapers. In a com munication received yesterday from this gentleman he says, 'Last Thursday, near Daleek, nearly 30 women were reaping a field of oats, and one man, probably the bailiff, was superintending the work.' Ale , Tether the Irish labourerB, as well as the farmers, have had a good return from the present harvest ; and, for this reason, the state of affairs is sound. There can be no real pros perity in which the labouring classes do not adequately participate. When those classes have their toil fairly rewarded, and trade and agriculture are in as wholesome a state as we believe them to be at this moment in Ire land, it may truly be said that the country is tending to a flourishing condition ; likely, according to all human calculations, to continue." THE POTATO CROP. The Banner of Ulster gives a most gratifying re port of the state of the potato crop both in tha north and south : 1 • " The potato crcp (.Says the Banner) is still to the ' fore,' aid however seriously - the fact may tell on the feel ings of the panic -mongers, we must admit that the plague has passed off with few vestiges of its former de vasta.tion. Three weeks ago there were most melancho;y accounts of decided disease' in the potato, and lovers of the doleful uvelled in graphic details of the blackened stalks and dying tuberi. It is hard to disturb the visions of these people ; but, as truth is sometimes necessary even on the sul2j,ct of Ireland's potato crop, we can only state that the prospects of an asundant yield iu this de partment of farm produce have never been hater than at present. Several of the most extensive growers in, Down have stated to us that, so far as they have raised their potatoes this season, the bulk is fully equal to that of 1839, and the quality is, perliap4, the finest ever raised in Ireland. The white rock variety has turned out a gross produce of largo and small tubers which would erage 250 bushels per acre ; and the coarser descrip• nos i f he petate- -those chiefly used in cattlt-feeding but which will not.he ripe 'or some weeks to come—pro• mise to produce 300 hush is to the statute acre. It is pr,baWe that the iy;tato lands of Ulster—the rich and the inferior in soil—will yield an average of 200 bushels ptr acre. The quality of this c'as of food is admitted to he very zuperier, and thus the produce will be consider ably more va'uoble. Several of the new varieties are turning out well, and the older descriptions such, as the lumper,' have bee :end greatly improved by cultivatien. The local markets are well supplied with excellent which are retailed at 4 - I e to 4d. per stone, and of this cheapness the working ranks fusty avail themselves. It is pretty, certain, how, vtr, that we shall never again see the day when the masses of Ireland's industrial ranks wiii subsist, as they were wont to do, on mere . potato diet. Fifteen years ago there were at least 2,000,000 of persons in Viis country who were fed ex elusively on potatoes, and abeiit an equal number had recourse to the same description of food "at least twice a-day. Many small farmers, too, lived almost solely on the produce of their potato fields. The famine was a terrible ordeal, and the suff,ring directly created by that visitation was intense beyon I the power of de scription ; but, under Providence, much good has arisen from it. Sinc 1847 the phy,ical condition if Ireland his gradually improved ; the use of grain food, then in troduced by stern necessity, 1 a+ created a sweeping revo lution in dietetics ; a d even the kingd.en of Connaught now consumes wheaten and other flour to an extent hare ly credible. In the south of Ire and the pot it crop is ex celleet, but its 1 reduction is no:. so extensive as to send back the now strong tnera of that province to the salt bur ring and the potato basket. Human bones and sinews are now of such value that their exercise commanes full rate of wage-, giving the men of toil ample meaus to purchaee grain food and a moderate supply cf colonial luxuries, such as tea, sugar, and coffee. What would the late Lard of Darrynarie have thought of 3r. 6d. or 4s. a nay fur labour in the corn fields, or how would be have exulted to sea a fondly of the finest peasantry' seated at a meal ma , 'e ap of articles raised in three quar ters of the g:ebe ? Giving a fall margin for any loss that may be eventually produced by the potato disease, there will still remain a largo average crop as compared with late years. This is highly gratifying, and still more satisfactory is the undoubted fact that the potato has ceased to be the staple food of Ireland's people." THE CONVICT SOLDIER.
