Joseph and William Heron, and Mesars. Higsoa and Roblus, anchester That another and a more direct line of railway is necessary between the metropolis and the manufacturing districts around Manchester, is now ftilly admitted, and the question is, which is the best line to be ad' oted The above proposed railway will ferns the shortest and most di rect route from London to Manchester, and will therefore complete the direct communication with the metropolis at a much less expen dit.ire of capital than by either of the projected London and Man chester lines (Remington's and Ashurst's), the actual distance to be co.lAtructed being only 73, instead of 170 to 180 miles. A careful preliminary survey has determined the promoters of this ralway to adopt nearly a straight line from Rugby toMacclesfield, as an increased expenditure of 200,0001. or 300,000kjudiciously applied in the present perfected state of civil engineering, and at the reduced cost of the execution of earth works, will prove in the end Sitar greater real economy, both to the Company itself in the saving effected in the annual expense of working, and also, what is of snore importance, to the country in general, by accomplishing, at a much less cost, the same end proposed by an entire and distinct line from London to Manchester. These considerations have not been sufficiently kept in view by ether parties who hare also proposed to make a railway from Rugby to Macclesfield, but who, by deviating from the direct tract to pursue valleys and to avoid the irregularities •f the face of the country, obviously lose the advantages proposed by this Company. The Peril amentary decision on the choice of the London and Brighton Railway is a parallel case, the direct line, although presenting more difficulties to overcome, and involving a greater outlay, having been adopted by Parliament in preference to the many competing projects, in a more or less sinuous direction, which were at that time supported in the House by very influential parties. Should it be found necessary, arrangements have been made by which addthenal lines of rails will be laid between Rugby and Lon don on the London and Birmingham Railway, whereby the surplus traffic northwards will be abundantly provided for. This line also possesses the singular advantage of. affording the shortest and most direct route from Manchester to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, a feature presented by no other proposed railway. By adopting the Rugby and Oxford branch of the Great Western as far as Dldcot, and thence the proposed Oxford, Southamp ton, Gosport, and Portsmouth line, the distance from Minchester to Southampton will be twenty-three miles less than by any other route, and on this account the project has been warmly supported by the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth Railway Company. The deviations from a perfectly straight line between - Rugby and Macclesfield to avoid high ranges of hills, ornamental parks, or valuable buildings are very slight, and the line in general offers no engineering difficulties of any magnitude. The towns more directly interested as a local line are Nuneaton, Hinckley, Atherstone, Market Bosworth, Burton•upon-Trent, Tutbury, Ashbourne, and Leek. The Company has made arrangements with the North London Junction Railway Company, whereby it has secured the use of their station (of the extent of six acres) in the centre of the City of London,, at the bottom of Moorgate-street, which will prove of the utmost • mportance to this line. Amidst the many railway projects that now "Occupy the public mind, and involve a vast outlay of capital, it will readily bo conceded that a line that will attain such important results at so - small an outlay of capital, and the time required for its construction, and without interfering with any existing vested intermits, must meet with general approbation, and at the same time offer a very excellent investment for capital. The shareholders in the Oxford, Southampton, Gosport, and Ports mouth, in the London and Birmingham, and In the Manchester and Birmingham Railways, will have a preference in the allotment of the shares. To the Provisional Committee of the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway Company, yia Macclesfield, I request you will allot to me shares of 201. each in the capital of the above-named railway, and I will accept the same, or any less number and pay the deposit of 21. 2s. per Share, and sign the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when required. _ _ Dated the day of "IS.

This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a short distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thence branch off in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knuteford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Rail way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby. The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six miles. It will be seen by reference to the map that this important line of railway will form the shortest route from Liverpool to London and effect a direct chain of communication between Liverpool and Derby, and will thence, by means of the Midlands and other railways, open an unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and afford a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts. The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, wills the Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only 188 miles, whereas by the present route it is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 200% miles ; effecting a saving of 22 miles in one instance, and 12% in the other. And as regards Liverpool and Derby, the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will be reduced by this line to about 74 miles, thus decreasing the distance by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles; an advantage which (tarries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed railway, in order to connect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, for other railways from still more distant localities, as before adverted to. The distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about 26% miles, making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 56% miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communi cation between those important towns by about 28 miles, an object most desirable to be attained, and of itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such beneficial results. But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far out weighed by the very important consideration that, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway, It will also be the most direct route from Liverpool to London. The distance from Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of junc tion with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% miles; from Leek to Rugby, according to the line as proposed by the Man- chester and Rugby Direct Railway, 58 miles, and from Rugby to London 83 miles; thus making the whole distance from Liverpool to London 188% miles, instead of 210, by the present route. With regard to the traffic and other details connected with the working of the line, it seems only necessary to revert to the great importance of the towns proposed to be brought into communication with each other, in order to convince the minds of all that the source of revenue thus derived will be immense. There are no engineering difficulties coneected with the forming of the line. The deeds will provide that no call shall be made on the share holders beyond the deposit now paid until the Act of Parliament is obtained, and power will be taken in the Act to allow 4/. per cent. Interest on all calls.

We have been favoured with the following extracts from a letter by the captain of the Hyderabad, giving an account of her loss : " We left Sydney on the 3d of May, and had a tedious passage - to the edge of the reefs. When within a hundred miles the weather became squally. On the 18th, at day light, saw the reefs from the decks; kept working under easy sail till noon, and found that we had drifted fifty miles to the northward. Oa the 19th, kept beating about till the 23d, in hopes of regaining our position, but we found ourselves even still set to the northward. I then made up my mind to run through the above passage (the Murray Island one); unfor tunately the ship drew too much water, although in Flinder's Chart there is twenty-five fathoms marked where the ship struck, and in Horsburg's Directory it says—' A fine clear passage.' We found no more water on the shoal than fifteen feet ; everything available was thrown overboard ; and a stream anchor carried out to the deepest water. Night coming on, the ladies with some of their luggage were put into the long boat. About seven P.M., during a gust of wind, the ship slipped off the reef into deep water. After anchoring, we found the ship began to settle fast down, gain ing on the pumps about two feet per hour. By midnight both pumps were choked. All hands were summoned to the boats where they had been previously placed. At two A.M. all hands being in the boats and fast astern, the ship began to settle fast by the head. About three A.M. the main deck blew up and the mainmast went. The ship then sunk, having her trucks above water. We then steered for the York Islands, being in the track of ships proceeding through the Straits, where we arrived on the 29th, and finally at looby Island on the 31st, where I made the best arrangements I possibly could, with our scanty stock of provisions, for the long boat to proceed on to Port Essington. O n the Ist of June, having embarked 28 persons, and having five pieces of pork, 25 of bread, and 100 gallons of water, I set sail for Es sington, having brought Master Melville Sandys, Miss Mary Sandys, and their nurse, Mrs. Murphy, in the long boat. We arrived safe on the 6th, and I had the gratification of seeing the remainder of the crew and passengers brought in by the schooner Shamrock on the 7th. As the schooner was not large enough to accommodate the passengers, the com mander thought it better to remain till the Fly surveying ship came in, wbo will, in all probability, take them back to Sydney." The Shamrock. as we announced, managed to convey some of the passengers to Ceylon, whence they have come on here. The children mentioned above, have arrived safely at Singa pore. Among the horses, it appears that 12 were Govern ment property; the others were on private speculation. As some anxiety prevails in town upon the subject, we give from the Sydney Morning Herald the following item : " The passengers on board the Hyderabad, Robertson, were—Mrs. Betts, three daughters, and son, Mr. J. C. Lys% Mr. A. Ford, Miss and Master Sandys, Dr. Child, Mrs. Mur phy, Messrs. J. Knowles, John Stewart, James Broderick G. P. Lynch, James Mason, Christopher Laurel, Colin Munro, David Peacock, Edward Brown, John Stacey, W. Philip, and E. Hall. She exported, among other items-11 horses, J. U. Bettington ; 9 horses, C. Throsby; 12 h orses , A . W . Dallas; 41 horses, John Mackay; 26 horses, Dr. Child ; 4 horses, T. S. Morton; 3 horses, G. A. Lloyd; 3 horses, A. C. Brown; 2 horses, E. Hunt. The Caringa Packet, Chillcott, which was bound for Ceylon, carried Lieut. Blackall, Ensign Bloomfield, Mr. E. Lord, and Mr. Henry Van Deerlin." (From the Madras Atheneum of July 26.) The interest you always take in matters regarding navi gation and the welfare of shipping has induced me to lay be fore you the following particulars of the unfortunate loss of the barque Caringa packet under my command. We sailed from Sydney on the 26th of April, bound for Ceylon and Madras. Nothing of any note occurred until the sth of May, when we passed about twelve miles to the eastward of Wreck Reef ; the wind then veered to the E.N.E., and not being able to clear Alert Reef and other dangers, bore away to pass to the westward. On the 7th of May, at sunset, shortened sail so as to pass through some dangers known by the name of Tregosis's Island, on the Bth at noon passed them in sight, and shaped a course N.W. by W. for Lizard Island off the N.E. coast of New Holland, when at 9.45 P.M. the chief officer, who bad the watch on deck, discovered something of an unusual appearance ahead. He called me, but before I had time to order the helm to be put hard a-port, the ship struck with a tremendous crash on a reef and stewed broadside on. Immediately found seven feet water in the hold. I ordered the masts to be cut away and the anchors to be let go, for fear the vessel should be driven over the reef and sink in deep water—not being able to descry anything around us, but a foaming sea. I then held a consultation with the passengers and officers, when we decided to remain by the wreck until daylight if possible, the sea now breaking over the ship with tremendous violence. Fortunately the masts had gone clear of the ship without injury to the boats, which we now secured well. Daylight, as you may suppose, was !coked for by all on board with the greatest anxiety, when, to our great joy, a small island was discovered not more than half a mile from the ship. The wreck now lying more steady, being well hove up on the reef, ragged a pair of shears and with great difficulty succeeded in getting the boats out without injury ; we then commenced to save what pro visions and water we could get at, and at night all hands went to sleep on the island. At daylight again went to the wreck, and found that during the night the sea had beat violently over her, and her decks and topsides hail partly se parated. We managed to procure a few more casks of water, and some spars to construct a raft, our boats being only three in number, and not large, they were not sufficient to carry all hands the different of 1,200 miles before it was likely of come to any place of succour. The raft I constructed was as follows—Four spars, lower yards and top-masts, placed at equal distances, five cross pieces with empty water casks lashed between each cross-piece ; the whole well bolted and lashed ; then came four upright stanchions, . and a platform laid over all. La s h e d o n a 100 ga ll on cask cf water and sent all hands on. It appeared to meet our expectations. We then got the boats up on the beach to repair, found the cutter much damaged, covered her bottom with tarred canvas. Everything now being ready, the day fixed for our departure was the 21st of May. On the morning of this day mustered all hands and allotted them to their respective boats, having a crew of 24 men and the chief officer in charge of the raft. The Lascars refused to proceed ; the Tindal came to me and said they would rather we should proceed in the boats, as they had now midi:ilea water and provisions for three months, and no doubt by that time we could procure assistance. This opi nion being unanimous, we decided to man the boats, the crews of which were as follows :—Long boat, 3 passengers, second mate and myself in charge, the rest of the boat being occupied by provisions and water ; cutter, 1 passenger, 2 sea cunnies, 3 lascars and chief officer in charge; gig, carpenter, 2 seacunnies, and Mr. E. Lord in charge—making in the whole 15 souls. At 4 P.M. on the 21st left the island with a fine breeze from the S.E. ; on the 22d it blew hard, with a heavy sea, but being a moonlight night, it enabled me to keep the boats together. We were mach pleased to find the boats behave so well, but as you may suppose it was a constant scene of baling. On the 23d it still continued to blow, and the sea running very high we now had to expe rience a very melancholy accident, which threw a gloom over all hands; for about eight P.M. the gig was capsised by a sea, and, I am sorry to state, Mr. E. Lord sunk to rise no more ;P the rest of the crew were saved by the cu tt er an d my self. roceeded on our voyage—daylight moderate. Lizard Island in sight . We now found the weather we had expe rienced had not only damaged our scanty stock of provisions, butjiad also made the water brackish. On the 25th entered the Ilarrier Reef, and steered for Booby Island, in hopes of falling in with her Majesty's ship Fly. Our next anxiety was that of the natives, as we had to pass through the group of islands noted for the inhospitable character of the people, and where the ill-fated crews of the Eaten and Stirling Cas tle, a few years back, were barbarously murdered; and had we been perceived in our defenceless state, no doubt we should have shared the same fate. We saw several of their fires on the land, but I passed through under the cloak of night. On the tenth day arrived at Booby Island, where we found the crew of the ship Hydrabad, of 600 tons, from Sydney, bound to Calcutta, having lost their ship entering Torres Straits. Fresh water was procured on the island, and we managed to do pretty well, in the way of provisions, with the oysters and a few fish I caught at times. On the 23d the schooner Shamrock hove in sight. I immediately went off in the boat, and was rejoiced to find an old pas senger on board, and that the schooner was bound to Ceylon. I need not say that we all met with a most hearty reception from Mr. Hasall and the commander. He came to anchor, and took the crews of both ships on board, in the whole 62 souls, and proceeded for Port Essington. The commander of that place, Captain M'Arthur, has promised that every exertion shall be used to promote the dispatch of a vessel for the relief of the men left on the island. After remaining three days we again sailed, bound for Ceylon, with the fol lowing passengers :—Captain Robertson, of the late ship Hydrabad, and four passengers, myself, chief and second officers, and three of my crew. To Mr. Hasall, owner of the Shamrock, as well as to Captain Browning, the commander, we all owe a debt of gratitude for their generosity, attention, and kind treatment to us during the voyage. The position of the danger on which the Caringa packet was wrecked is as follows :—Latitude 16 52 30 south, longi tude by the means of 20 lunar observations 149 55 45 E.— the chronometer showing a longitude of 149 55 E., variation of the Compass 9 degrees E. ; rise of tide at springs 5 feet ; the island about 10 feet above the level of the sea, surrounded by a reef dry in some places at low water, the wreck of the vessel bearing N.E., by half a mil e , an d the whole of this danger does not exceed 4i miles in circumference. Another small island we observed to the S.W. about four miles, and apparently a safe passage between the two, although the charts show a clear navigation from the Tregonis Island to the coast of New Holland in a N.W. direction. It is my opinion that other dangers exist, for on the 3rd night after leaving the island in the boats I am certain we passed in the vicinity of other dangers, although we saw nothing at daylight. I have the honour to remain, yours obediently, (Signed) F. B. CHILCOTT. FALLING IN OF A PORTION OF DUBLIN-STREET About 12 or 15 feet of the road way in Dublin-street, which is in course of being tunnelled for the Edinburgh and Gran ton Railway, fell in betwixt two and three o'clock on Friday morning. The common sewer, which overlies the tunnel, was, it appears, unusually flooded by the heavy rain which fell on Thursday evening; in consequence of which the bot tom of the sewer began gradually to be undermined by the water soaking through, and forcing in, the roof of the tunnel, which, at this particular spot, was supported by beams of wood, prior to being arched over in the usual way with brick. Having once got a downward outlet, the current could not be restrained, and the workmen were obliged to desist from their operation in this portion of the shaft. The vacuum formed beneath the sewer by the destruction of the roof of the tunnel, ultimately brought down the superincumbent mass, forcing two of the beam and a quantity of rubbish into the tunnel. Several feet ofe sewer have in conse quence been destroyed, together with the pipes of the Water Company, which rested upon it. The damage done to the tunnel is, we believe, comparatively trifling; but it will take some time to repair the rent made in the street, which is rather formidable, being about 15 feet long, 8 feet broad, and fully 10 feet deep.—Edinburgh Advertiser. WORKHOUSE COOKERY.—The disclosures in the Andover Union have thrown quite a new light on the science of cookery, which not even the inspiration of a Soyer could have hit upon. That ingenious chef de cuisne has blended together poetry, pastry, and politics with considerable skill ; he has invented a creme d'Angleterre, consisting of charms borrowed from the female aristocracy; but those ingredients, imaginary and unsubstantial as they are, must be considered as solids when compared with the materials used for consti tuting the dishes served up to the paupers in the Andover Union. Butter, according to New Poor-law Cookery, is made from the skimmings of grease-pots, and parochial tea is made from boiling old leaves which have already had their strength drawn out of them. A new Cookery Book, edited by M'Dougal, the master of the Andover Union, is evidently a desideratum in culinary literature which even M. Soyer's universal genius has hitherto left unsupplied.— Punch. FIRE AT LEWES.—lntelligence reached us late last night from Lewes, of a destructive fire on the farm premisso of John Ellman, Esq , the eminent breeder of Southdown sheep, at Glynde. The flames were visible at Falmer, a dis tance of eight miles. We regret to say that a large barn was entirely consumed ; but none of the inhabitants of Lewes, wh (lOW to the spOt to render assistance as soon as the alarm was given, had returned when our infbrmant left Lewes (at half-past nine o'clock).—Brighton Gazette.

ULVERSTON, SEPT. 18.—Since last Saturday evening we have had very broken weather, rain every eight or twelve hours, but mostly during the night except yesterday. Har • vest operaticns have gone on with little interruption. To day (I hursday) the sample loads put down in our market exceeded those of the past three weeks; there were about 61 of wheat, and of oats about 37. Millers and dealers came for ward freely on opening the sample loads of wheat, yet the selling was rather tedious, particularly where the sample proved less desirable. Selling prices 6d. to ls. less than last week, arising more from the number than the demand, which was good, and all were sold. For oats a disposition to make early purchases appeared general, and the attendance of mil lers and dealers appeared more numerous than on previous weeks. —Kendal Mercury. The corn crops are nearly won on the banks of the Tees. From the banks of the Coquet we have received the following brief report :—" The weather has now become beautiful, and the fields of grain are fast coming to the sickle. Little wheat, however, is yet cut, except in Bamb urg h s hi re and along the coast. - *here the crops have been long lodged, the deficiency of yield and inferior quality of sample will be found great. Reapers are plentiful, and obtain Is. 6d. per day, with vic tuals." Since this was written we have had heavy rains.-- Gateshead Observer. CHARMOUTIL—In this and the neighbouring parishes the different sorts of grain have generally been securely housed. The yield of wheat is, in almost every instance, much less than it was last year, and the sample very inferior. Barley is most abundant. The potato crop is a sad affair, as there is scarcely a field that has not b een at t ac k e d b y the distemper so prevalent throughout the land.—Somerset County Gazette. A change has occ urre d i n th e weat h er i n the neighbour hood, and we presume that it pervades the whole country, calculated to excite serious apprehensions respecting that portion of the wheat and barley and potato crops which re main in the fields. During the last three or four days rain has fallen to the depth of nearly an inch and a half. Yes terday the rain hardly ceased throughout the day; and we regret to say that there is no immediate prospect of a return of dry weather. The temperature has, however fallen barely a degree. In the south a n d wes t o f England, little grain re mains abroad, but in the more backward parts of the country the sickle has hardly been called into activity. Thus the weather is still an object of solicitude, not only as regards wheat, but especially with reference to the potato crop. A continuance of rain would rapidly extend the disease which has destroyed or rendered unsaleable so many of these escu lents.—Bath Gazette. For the last eight days the weather has been unsettled. We stated in our last that a weather prophet of reputation, at present resident in Jersey, had predicted a winter of severe storm and tempest. His prediction, uttered as it was before the storm of the last few days had as yet shown any indica tion of its coming, seems destined to be realised, and so far as physical appearances would seem to foreshadow, the storm which has now begun will continue some time before we wit ness its departure. It has been frequently observed that should gales supervene about the period of the equinoxes, considerable reliance may be placed upon the probability of a protracted course of boisterous weather, and farmers and others acquainted with this fact always conduct their opera tions with a prudent foresight. We understand that the western districts of England during the last eight days have been visited with weather equally boisterous with that which we have ourselves experienced ; but that in the more northern quarters of the empire scarcely a drop of rain has fallen within the last three weeks. In this we recognise a benevolent dis pensation of Providence, for the harvest being always later in that district of the country, opportunity is th,ps afforded to the tillers of the soil to gather in their produce.—Jersey Times. Harvest operations have been in a great measure sus pended this week, owing to the inclement state of the wea ther. Monday and Tuesday were dull, raw, and unfavour able days, and on Wednesday rain fell in torrents, render ing out-door labour out of the question. A considerable quantity of rain also fell on Thursday morning, and the at mosphere was very chilly during the day. Yesterday, how ever, we are happy to say a change for the better took place—the sun shining from its rising till its setting, in a beautiful blue sky. Reports from all parts of the country as to the state of the crops are of the most cheering descrip tion. A short continuance of warmth and sunshine, which we hope for, will insure more than an average harvest._ Scotch Reformer's Gazette. We are sorry we cannot say the present week has been a favourable one for harvest operations. Monday and Tuesday were tolerably favourable days fur out-door work, but on both Wednesday and Thursday, and particularly during the nights of both these days, the rain fell in tor rents. Friday was a splendid day in every respect, and such was the strength of the sun and wind during the fore noon, that in several cases the farmers commenced " lead ing in "by the after part of the day. Everywhere the fields present a splendid appearance. They are thickly studded with stooks, and many parks are to-day crowded with busy reapers. On the whole, we should say, there is as near as may be one-third of the crop yet to cut.— Glasgow Post. Up to Wednesday evening the weather has been every thing that the farmer could wish —warm, bright, and breezy, and harvest operations were going rapidly on. The fields were covered with numerous bands of reapers, before whom the golden grain was quickly falling, and as rapidly rising again in the larg e an d thi c kl y planted stooks. On Wednes day, however, the atmosphere became overcast, and in the course of the evening rain began to fall, and continued with little intermission throughout the night and during yester day. This will retard the ingathering of the crop for some days; but, with a few weeks more of fair weather, the whole will be secured in good condition. We regret to learn that a disease of a peculiar description is very prevalent in the potato crop throughout the country, and that it has lade its appearance in several fields in this district. The disease is quite inexplicable. A fine field of bear was cut last week at Achriachan, in the neighbourhood of Tomantoul, one of the highest districts of Banffshire. We are sorry to learn that in many of the higher glens and straths a pretty severe frost was experienced on the nights of Wednesday and Thurs day last week. In many places, particularly in low marshy situations, the potatoes have been very much injured, the stems being completely withered down. In these places some partial injury has been done to the grain crop, but the injury has been limited to small localities.—Elgin Courant. IRELAND. DUBLLI, Sxrr. 20.—For •fifteen years past there has not been such a variety of qualities in wheat as that of the pre sent harvest. Judging by the samples we have seen, and the accounts that have reached u., a considerable portion of that crop must be very good; but it is equally certain that a large proportion is middling or inferior. We shall soon behold the singular spectacle of a high price for wheat in our own mar ket, and a high duty upon the admission of foreign wheat. The general averages regulating the duty will be kept down by the quantity of damaged and inferior wheat thrown upon the market—the duty will, consequently, advance to the maximum rate, while British and Irish wheat of good qua lity must command a high price. At our Corn Exchange yes terday, there was an advance in the price of wheat, and prime qualities are likely to advance still further. The wheat crop, according to the most careful calculations, will be under an average, and but for the providential change in the wea ther towards the close of last month, it is now manifest that the failure would be disastrous. The Dublin Mercantile Advertiser says :—" Respecting oats, all our reports are favourable. The crop is described as very good in quality, and likely to yield considerably more than an average. There can be no doubt that the disease in potatoes is producing very destruc tive effects in Europe as well as in America. But we rejoice to find that its ravages are comparatively limited and partial in Ireland. We have sought informarion from the best sources, and have arrived at the conclusion, that although in some instance s th ere w ill b e considerable oss, the potato crop, taken altogether, is likely to be abundant and excellent in quality." BALM - SHANNON, SErr.l9.—We have made inquiry into the state of the potato crop throughout this county, and we are happy to be enabled to state that very little injury has been sustained from the disease so prevalent in other counties. OMAGH, SEPT. 19.—Round by Dungannon, and indeed in every part of the county, the wheat, oats, and barley crops are unusually productive, but the potatoes certainly will not be as abundant as we anticipated, though in very many parts the crop is far over an average one. MARYBOROUGH, SEPT. 20.—The operations of cutting and saving have been renewed with increased vigour; but large tracts of wheat are still uncut, and much of the oat crop is still unripe, ENNISKILLEN, SEPT. 18.— There has been no season for many years past that promises so highly for the farmer as the present. Every crop is crowned with abundance, save only the potato, which, we are sorry to say, has been injured by rot; but, from everything we can read, by no means so in jurious as appearances in other parts, both at home and abroad, indicate.—Enniskillen Chronicle. Ertms, SEPT 18.—We have made minute inquiries into the state of the n rops in Clare, and, although in the womout soil, under potatoes, there may be some failures, as far as can be at present collected, there is fully an average crop ex pected. Until the full time for digging the general crop, in the latter end of the next month, a close estimate cannot be formed; but where the new or good ground has been tried, the potato is both productive and good. The wheat crop has some partial blight, and it may be estimated by a reduction of somewhat less than one-fifth. Referring next to oats, the crop is as abundant as any of the last six years. We have conversed with a gentleman who has gone over nearly one hundred miles of the county, and he states that the crop is as fine as ever witnessed.—Clare Journal. STRIKE OF THE IRON-STONE MINERS AT CONSIDE. —ln consequence of the continued strike of the iron -stone miners, at the Derwent Iron Works, Conside, near Shotley Bridge, Superintendent Hall, and a party of the Durham rural police, proceeded on Tuesday to eject several of the workmen from their houses; but, in consequence of the miners assembling in great numbers, he was obliged to desist until he obtained an additional number of men. On the following day, the suuperintendent having received a reinforcement of men, he ejected about fifty families from their dwellings, amidst the shouts and menaces of the miners, who occa sionally assailed the police with a shower of stones. Inspector Hall, however, exercised the utmost f or b earance, and fre quently warned the people to desist; and, on returning from the village, although followed and hooted, and pelted with stones, he prudently withdrew his men, in excellent order, to a distance, until the mob dispersed. The strike still continues.— Tyne Mercury. WORTHY or IMITATION.—The Earl of Falmouth, wishining to encourage upon his Cornish estates a more general cultivat on of green crops in connexion with an im proved system of cropping, has offered for the farms which have been best cultivated and cropped handsome premiums, in proportion to the number of acres which the farms may consist, beginning with farms exceeding 200 acres, and ending with cottage tenements containing not more than 25 acres. The crops which must have been grown in succession are —I. Wheat, or other grain suited to the soil. 2. Turnips, mangel-wurtzel, and other roots. 3. Barley or oats. 4. Grasses. 5. Grasses. Tenants have the option of growii% a crop of rape (for consumption by sheep upon the land) in the sixth year before wheat. It is proposed to inspect the farms of the competitors in the months of July and August, and to award the premiums in the month of October follow- West Briton.
