OcronEß 31.—The Second Chamber of the States-General adopted yesterday evening all the paragraphs of the proposed address in answer to the speech from the throne, after which the whole was agreed to by a majority of 40 to 11. The address is as follows: " Sire,—The representatives of the nation feel themselves happy at again seeirg your Majesty among them at the open ing of the session, and of learning from you that the situation of, the country in general bears a favourable appearance. We wish that the continuance of the good understanding between the Netherlands and foreign Powers may be a guarantee that our rights will be I espected. We expect from it, at the same time, advantage,us results for our commerce, our navigations, and our manufactures. We hope with you, Sire, that the visit which you have paid to the Queen of Great B-itain may have contributed to these results, as far as our relations with that country are concerned. We are happy to learn that the army and navy continue to be dis tinguished by their good conduct and discipline. " The development and augmentation of our naval force appear to be desirable. 4 At the same time that we appreciate with gratitude the benefits of the tranquillity which our colonial possessions en joy, we learn %WI pleasure that the increased prices of co lonial produce have a favourable effect on the condition of those possessions. We shall be glad to receive from your Majesty further communications respecting the measures which have Ifitely been adopted, and those which it is in tended to adopt in the sequel for the international improve ment of our possessions, both in the East and West Indies. We are convinced that order and the regular courses in the administration of internal affairs are of great importance to the country. " It is highly important to watch with the greatest solici tude the maintenance of everything relative to the organisa tion and improvement of public institutions. Your Majesty will always find us ready to second you iu your efforts to attain this important object if a change in the organisation of public institutions should be found necessary. The welfare of the nation cannot fail to be promoted by the enterprising spirit manifested in undo-taking great works for the draining, erecting dikes', &c. "We appreciate your — Majesty's care to improve useful re lai!ons by means of channels of communication by land and by water, and by the construction of railways without bur dening the State. " We gratefully acknowledge the protecting hand of Divine Providence, which averted the extraordinary dani er that threatened our dikes and other works last winter. " We attach the greatest value to the prosperity of the several branches of manufactures. We rejoice that the re sults have of late been so generally favourable. We, how ever, consider as a calamity the bad crops of one of the most important articles of food. May God grant that the measures prescribed to alleviate the misfortune and to procure employ ment for the indigent, joined. to the benovelence which ani mstes the nation, may prove effectual. " The restoration of our monetary affairs is a matter which admits of no delay. We shall earnestly examine the legisla tive measures which your Majesty will lay before us on this subject. "'We rejoice at the speedy SUCC2S3 of the important mea sure for the reduction of the interest of our natlonal debt. Honour to the nation whose praiseworthy punctuality in ful filling its obligations has rendered a result profitable which was generally desired. " We consider with your Majesty the.progressive improve. ment in the public revenue as a fortunate fact when it is the consequence of the increase of the public prosperity and of an equitable application of the law. " We shall attentively examine the projects of law on the definitive regulation of the expenditure of the current year, and the means of meeting it. It will be a subject of great satisfaction to find them a proof of the favourable state of the public finances We believe that the regular administration of the finance calls for legislative measures, respecting which we expect with confidence the proposal of your Majesty. " e believe that the interest of the country makes it a - duty to improve, in more than one respect, the Excise law. " We perceive that the assignment of a pecuniary indem nity for the losses occasioned by inundation, ordered by the military engineers, is desirable, though the subject is delicate and difficult. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 2.—TILE POTATO DISEASE, —The weather continues exceedingly favourable—as genial as a fine spring —and the work of potato digging is procee(liog under the most auspicious crrcumstances. -All reports agree that the tendency of this state of the weather has been to check the progress of the p 'tato blight, and to afford the farmers a better chance of securing the sound portion of the crop. All through the country the resident gentry are co-operating with the clergy and farmers in adopting measures to mitigate the calamity; for in any case a tremendous loss, chiefly afflicting the poor, has been already suffered, and there are yet no means of calculating the extent of the malady. To-morrow the deputation from the citizens is to wait upon the Lord-Lieutenant, and it is believed that his Excellency will have received a communication from the Home-office respecting the intentions of the Cabinet, and of course his answer will be shaped accordingly. The general impression here to-day—not of course based upon any certain informa tion—is, that the Government will not take any decided Step at present ; that the ports will not be opened, nor dis • tillation stopped, nor . exports prevented ; but that consider able facilities will be offered for extending employment by public works. Before adopting any other precautionary mea sure, it is considered likely that the Government will wait for the completion of the potato digging, in order to have a better means of ascertaining the extent of the loss in the potato crpp. Subjoined are accounts received from the country this morning : COUNTY OF MEATII.—PUBLIC MEETINGS.—DROGTIEDA, Nov. I.—On Thursday an important meeting of landholders of the parish of Nobber and the surrounding district was held in the Sessions-room, Nobber, for the purpose of taking into consideration the alarming state of the potato crop, with a view to devising or recommending such measures as may be necessary to obviate or to lessen the evils which are feared. B'e'have great pleasure in stating that the Protestant and Catholic clergymen of the pariah, and the Protestant and Ca tholic gentry and farmers of the district were present, and cordially united in their determination to do all that lay in their power to avert the destitution with which the poor are threatened. Wm. Smith, of Cregg, Esq., was called to the chair. Several of the persons present stated the result of their exa mination of the potatoes, arid it seemed to be the general opinion that about three-fourths of the crop was destroyed, some thought as much as seven-eighths. A committee was appointed to make an accurate examination of the potatoes still in the ground, and those which have been pitted or housed, with an instruction to report on the facts, and to recommend a remedy, the report to be made to a meeting that is to be held on the 12th of November instant. Col. Cruise, the respected agent on Lord Gormanstown's estates in the county Meath, was present, and took part in the pro ceedings. One of the measures which we would earnestly recommend to be adopted, is the taking immediate steps under the Drainage Act to have the river Dee, in that loca lity, improved, so as to give increased employment to the population. At Moynalty, Meath, we learn that a meeting similar to that held in Nobber took place yesterday. We understand that a meeting of the farmers and gentry about the town of Louth will be held to-morrow for the same purpose.

The,gallant officers were invited to dine with a party at Arlsford-hall, the . residence Of Mr. William Hawkins, but their engagements at home prevented their acceptance of the invitation. The weather was remarka bly tine, and in every way highly favourable for the ex•- permients. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS remunerated employment—whatever nray be the happy means devised for rescuing a peasantry from their territorial thraldom, and teaching them to combine the dignity of in dependence with the fruits of labour —every thinking man will feel it to be a cause for gratitude that a season of peril came on the land, which made one class of men care for another, and, amid the whisperings of selfish fear, elicited the genial accents of benev o l ence . Th e ev il will have been but t'or a season; the good that shall follow—God grant that it may be for aye THE BASINGSTOKE CANAL NAVIGATION COMPANY. RAILWAYS VERSUS CARATS.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, a general meeting of the Proprietors of the Basingstoke Canal Navigation Company was held at the Gray's inn Cof fee-house, Holborn, to receive the report of the affairs of the Company for the past half year, ending the 30th :,-ep tember ult. Mr. R. Davy, a Director of the Company, presided. The SECRETARY read the report, from which it appeared, that the gross receipt amounted to 12,043/. 9s. 2id., includ ing 2,500. Exchequer bills, and that after paying all neces sary expenses there remained a balance in favour of the Com pany of 88/. 4s. 7id. Among the receipts were 2,-'591. for tonnage, in which item there was a large reduction, in conse queece of the competition of the Great Western Railway, compared with the previous year, in the amount of charge per ton, though there was still an increase in:the year ot 78/. 4s. A dividend of 21. per cent. on the bonded debt, applicable to the year 1841, was recoil:in:elided. The report having been received and approved of, Mr. Mitts, the proposer of the resolution, inquired if there was a probability of any railway company being likely to en ter into terms to purchase their canal. The CHAIRMAN observed that he should be very happy to find a company who would buy their property, which they would be very glad to part with, seeing the state they were in. These were the sentiments of the whole body. Mr. thus said he was in great hopes that he should have heard of some proposition having been made. The lienr.et and Avon Canal had Peen sold to some advantage. Their line would be a profitable speculation far any company. A PRorara - ToR observed that it was a favourable line; a perfect line, and 21 miles in length. The CHAIRMAN remarked that he understood there was a branch from the South-Western, the Company connected with which he thought would have availed themselves of their canal, but they were going to join the Great Western Railway front Farnborough. A dividend of 2!. per cent. was then agreed to; after which, thanks being voted to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. THE BENGAL ARMY. (From the Delhi Gazette.) The long and anxiously looked-for relief has at last ap peared, and we give it here a prominent place. The arrange ments are in accordance with the reports generally bruited abroad for some days past, and such as might be expected, though we strongly suspect that some of the corps will not see the stations to %%hick they are appointed this season. How many alterations quietly crept into last year's relief; subsequent to its publicati.tn, and bow many more into that of the year before? The only increase on the north-west frontier arranged by the following, is that of one regiment at Ferozepore, one only being order e d awa y f or the t.so sent thither. It may aflord matter for speculation that the greater part of the frontier regiments are to be relieved before quitting their present post..., so that in case of their being re quired, the relieving and relieved regiments, as also those proceeding to Siude, will be available for any work that may be carved out for them : " Head. quarters, Simla, Sept. 15.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENTS —About five o'clock on Friday morning a melancholy accident occurred at the Kilwin,ing station of the Ayrshire Railway, whereby, we regret to add, a porter, named Henry Murray, lost his life. The deceased, who had been assisting in pushing for ward two trucks, to attach them to the luggage train f oni Ayr, incautiously attempted to do so when they were still in motion, whereby he was so severely bruised that - he died about one o'clock in the afternoon. He was a sober, industrious man, and has left a widow and small family.—About two o'clock on the same, day a boy named Morrison, belonging to Irvine, had, without the knowledge of the servants of the company, and contrary to their rules, got upon a luggage truck, from whence he was removed by one of the porters; but, having again climbed up, unperceived by the servants who were pushing forward the trucks with their heads down at the time, fell between the two trucks and was killed on the spot.—Gmsgow Argus.

MENT.—Orders were this day received at the Cork Custom House directingreturns to be forwarded to the Castle, Dublin, setting forth the quantity of potatoes shipped fri , m this and all the out-ports of the district, since the first of September last; and also directing that returns should be made every Saturday of the quantities exported during the week—dis tinguishing, in all cases, those shipped to England, coastways, and to other places. This looks as if some step to prevent the exportation of the people's food was in contmrplatitn. Cork Southern Reporter. THE GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION IN LIVERPOOL.— We have received further details of the effects of the gun powder explosion in that town, the principal frets of which were mentioned yesterday. Two of the men are so severely injured that but faint hopes ore entertained of their recovery. Besides the powder that exploded about two hundred weight and a half was found on the premises, and the wonder is that that it did not explode also. The quantity that exploded did not exceed 301bs. The explosion, it is supposed, was caused by a spark from a candle when the shopman was weighing a small quantity from the canister.

NAVAN, OCT. 31 —CURE OF THE POTATO ROT. —Having in a former letter stated some particulars relative to the cure of diseased potatoes—or, in other words, the prevention of its progress—by Mr. William Boylan, of this town (Navan), I have deemed it expedient to make further inquiries, and I have now great pleasure in being able to state the following facts, which I have from the persons named, viz., Mr. Philip Reilly, of Navan, merchant, states that!he dug in his potatoes on Saturday, 16th of October ult., and pitted thirty barrels of them in his garden at the rear of his concerns ; they were dug in clean, examined by several persons, and pro• uounced to be all perfectly sound. On Tuesday following Sergeant John Carolan, of the police, called on him, advised him to open the pit, and examine his potatoes; he did so in the presence of the sergeant, and in the ratio of two out of every three of the potatoes it contained, they were speckled with white pips on the surface, and symptoms of rottenness set in. His servant that day, in preparing dinner, found it necessary to cut away a large portion of the potato from the greater number of them, and what remained were found fit for using—the same potatoes were remark ably good before the digging in. Dr. John Timmon advised his neighbour, Mr. Reilly, to send for Boylan, who was said to be after curing forty barrels fur Doctor Byron. .Ir. Boylan caused the potatoes to be removed from' the pit to a house, where they underwent a process in which fire and smoke were engaged; the other components remain a secret; certain it is a perfect cure is effected for the present, and it is hoped, remedy against future injury. Mr. Reilly has in formed me the potatoes are now as wholesome and sound as before they were aacted. Mr. Richard Eason had seventy barrels cured in like manner, and Mr. John Leonard has Mr. Boylan engaged in the cure of his potatoes, which were very bad, and feels confident he will perfect it. I had not a con versation with Mr. Boylan, who, as I am informed, is so con fident of his power over the disease, that he makes no charge fur his invaluable labour till May next, when his employers will have ample proof of his ability. ARDEE, Nov. I.—Digging has been going on rapidly in the district for the last fortnight, but more particularly during the early part of the present week, until stopped by the rain on Wednesday. So far as my observation will permit me to speak, the crop is turning out better than was expected; there are, however, a good many instances where the malady has proved fully equal to the worst anticipationS, causing serious loss and misery to many individu lls. I have, how ever, seen crops dug, the injury done to which is really not worth talking of, and in ordinary years 'Would attract no notice whatever. Therefore, putting the good and the bad together, I consider we have nearly three-fourths of the crop safe. COUNTY OF LOUTII, OCT. 31.—We have nct heard any re ports from Louth to lead us to believe that it is getting worse there than it was ten days since. In Dundalk we learn, by personal inquiry, that a considerable portion of the crop is yet sate around that neighbourhood, the portion safe was grown in eandy and gravelly soil. KhRRY.—It is the intention of the Earl of Kenmare, Mr. A. Herbert, and other landed proprietors of Kerry, not to press for their rents, provided the tenantry do not sell the corn, for the purpose of keeping as large a supply of that article of food in the country as possible. BELFAST, OCT. 31.-1 regret to say that my advices as to the potato crop, thie week, do not tend to place them in a better position than when I wrote on this day week; but 011 the contrary, I fear the disease is spreading into districts which were hitherto comparatively flee, and has seized on descriptions of potatoes considered, up to this time, clear of taint. LIMERICK; Nov. I.—At Gort, the blight of the potato. while on the ground, is nothing when compared to that iu the pit. It has carried itself to so great an extent, that many pits of potatoes were covered perfectly safe for the last iwenty days, and are at present shovelled out entirely use less. Many, however, are consoled by the hope that even the spated . potatoes are recovering by the application of lime and clay—one shovel of lime and two of clay. This wil preserve them for eating, but not fur seed. Amongst wha? is to be kept dry for seed, should be mixed the same quart. tity of dry turf mould or bog stuff, well dried. Both have proved effectual.

REPRESENTATION OF CASIIEL.-111e Limerick Chronicle nays, " Mr. Sergeant Stock has resigned the representation of Cashel—he is to be advanced in his profession." OPENING OF THE PORTS. BELFAST TOWN COUNCIL. On Saturday, the Ist inst., a meeting of the Belfast Town Council took place, at which a most important resolution was adopted in reference to the famine with which Ireland is threatened by the failure of the potato crop. A. Mulholland. Esq., Mayor, took the chair. After the minutes of a pre. vious meeting had been read by the Town Cie' k, and several matters of merely local interest had been disposed of, Alderman HAMILTON rose, and said he wished to direci 'the attention of the Council to a subject on which great ap prehension was entertained by the country at large, namely, the diseased state of the potato crop. That it had sustaints. great injury therecould be no doubt; not only the newsparer: supplied them with accounts, of how much the crop was already ravaged by disease, but private information to which almost every one was accessible, confirmed the statements. —(Hear, hear.) The subject was one in which they were all deeply interested ; it came home to all their hearts, and it was their duty, if possible, to devise measures by which the wants of the community might be provided for, and the famine which threatened them might be averted from their ;bores. He had no wish to view the in a political light, nor was he there to say whether the corn-laws were right or wrong. The measure which he would sugge.4 might be supported by men belonging to any party, and he trusted it would zeceive the support of those whom he now ad dressed. Unless some means of a preventative kind were adopted, the poor were likely to be placed in a very dis tressed state. Ten months at least would have to elapse before a new supply of potatoes would be furnished them, and, as under the failure of the present crop the chief thing which the people had to depend upon was oats, he thought distillation, by which so much of it was consumed, should be put a stop to—(Hear, hear)—and still more, to meet the deficiency, that foreign grain should be admitted for a time duty free. Mr. Hamilton concluded by moving a resolu tion to the effect, that the Council should petitio❑ the Queen to open the ports for the free admission of corn, and to prohibit distillation, in order that the scarcity of food with which the community was threatened might be averted. Mr. BLACK seconded the motion after a desultory but animated discussion, during which the majority of the members stated their opinions. An amendment was proposed by Mr. KANE, and seconded by Mr. A. Hill., to the effect that, it was the opinion of the Council that the motion was premature, and that it would be better, before resorting to the step which it suggested, to wait one mouth, and then take it into consideration. The amendment was voted for by five of the Council, anti the latter by fourteen, consequently the motion was carried. A committee was then appointed to draw up the required memorial to the Queen, and the meeting separated. STRAND SESSIONS. —APPEAL AGAINST A PAVING RATE BY THE PROPRIETORS OF COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. —On Saturday, at the above sessions, which were held be fore Mr. Butler, in the Board-room of the Strand Union, Bow street, Covent-garden, Mr. Robin son , agen t t o the proprie tors of Covent-garden Theatre, appeared to show cause why they refused to pay a paving -rate for which they were sum moned. This was an adjourned appeal, the ground of the object tion by the proprietors being that on a market-day carte were allowed to remain to a late hour in Ilart-street, the owners of which, after they were taken away, left the street covered with cabbage-stalks and garbage. Mr. Skae, sur veyor of the parish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, said that the carts had been removed, according to the directions he had received. Mr. Robinson remarked that the cabbage-leaves and stalks were not cleared away. The Chairman observed that one of his orders was to dear the streets, and that he had the power under the Act of Parliament to fine the surveyor for leaving the streets in an improper state. He would certainly not make an order that day, and would act the case stand over for a week. The summons was then again adjourned to Satarday next. ADIEU TO THE STAGE COACH. — We ht*e seen the last of those elegant conveyances, the London coaches, upon which Cambridge used to took with pride.

The experiments intended to have taken place with Mr. Hale's rockets in the marshes at Woolwich having been dis ontinued on the firing of the sixth rocket, in consequence of their having diverged so much from the right line that Imager was to be apprehended, Mr. Hale applied to the Master-General to appoint any of the members of the select committee to witness the firing of the rockets in a situation where no danger could 'be apprehended. Mr. Hale, having •btainetl the permission of Mr. F. Nasson to carry on the ex periments on the extensive sea bead! near St. Osyth, on the ,oath-west side of the second Martello Tower, about a mile and a half from Brightlingsea, ten miles from Colchester, Lieutenant-Colonel Dansev, C. 8., Firemaster in the Labora tory Department of the Royal Arsenal, and Lieutenant-Col. Chalmer, Director-General of Artillery, arrived at the place appointed yesterday to witness and report the result of the experiments. The first rocket was fired from the ground, and diverged a little to the right and fell in the sea. The second from the ground diverged about five degrees to the left, and struck the ground about seventy yards from the spot where it was discharged. The third from the ground struck the ground at about twenty yards distant. The fourth went nearly 1,000 yards; and the fifth, after striking the ground at about 200; wards distant, rebounded, and went a considerable way. The next -three rockets were fired from a trough made of wood, about from four to five feet long, the forepart being elevated five degrees, and the rear resting on the ground. The first struck the ground at 300 yards distant, after which it altered its course considerably, and appeared to burst at a distance of about 300 yards. The second struck the ground at 94 paces, and the third at 20 paces, which altered their courses, and they proceeded onward with a waving motion. The trouvh was then elevated on a wooden horse about four feet high in the rear, and 12 degrees in front. From that elevation five rockets were fired, and they all went a con siderable distance in a straight line, the first four from 1.500 to 1,800 yards, and the fifth about 800 yards, when it burst in the air, and fell to the ground. The trough was then elevated to about 20 degrees, and five rockets were fired fron, it at that height, and they all weet an immense distance, vparehtly from 1,500 to 2,000 yards, several of them falling into the sea. One of these rockets fell within a few yards of some men who had proceeded in the direction in order to ascertain as near as possible where they fell. The trough was then lowered to 8 degrees, and two rockets tired • from it at that height ; the first struck the ground at about 200 yards distance, and the second at a short distance from the place where it was discharged. The apparent re -Alit of the experiments yesterday was that Mr. Hale's rockets when tired at twelve degrees or higher were carried a con siderable distance, but not with the same apparent velocity as the common rockets with pieces of wood attached to them, Mr. Hale's having no appendages whatever. The less de gree of velocity may be accounted for by Mr. Hale's having no meal powder pruning which the common rockets have, which gives a great projectile power from the commence ment of their flight. The want of a piece of wood attached to Mr. Hale's rockets is evidently the cause of the difficulty of their being satisfactorily fired from low elevations, as firing them from the trough placed on the ground, and on a wooden horse when the degrees of elevation were nearly the same, was alike in both. A number of gentlemen were pre sent to witn- ss the experiments, and at the conclusion Lieu tenant-Colonel Dansey and Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer re turned to Brightingsea in the coast guard galley, accom papied b? , the collector and comptroller of her 11Iajesty'e FROM THE MOREDVG PAPERS or THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—" It is impossible," as Sir Robert Peel has long ago taught the world, both by word and dded, " to say what constitutes an impossibility; - ' but surely we must be safe in assumin g it t o b e impossible, that a Minister who has charged himself with the task of regulating the supply of food to the British people should, under the pre sent circumstances of th e c oun t r y, r ema i n quiescent until next February'. Either by prerogative or by legislation— by order in Council, Or by au early and special summons of Parliament—we must belive th a t some eff o rt will be made to avert or mitigate a calamity, any near prospect of which were enough to daunt the boldest and most reckless of rulers—a remote pr o b a bility o f w hi c h, t o a Minister so sensitive as Sir Robert Peel on the point of re sponsibility, must be s u ffi c i en tly painful. That Sir Robert Peel has made up his mind to the martyr dom. of waiting t o see hi s own corn . l aw t a k e its course during the next three us nths, is too extrava gant a supposition to be lightly entertained. With scarcity officially proclaimed over the half of Europe; with our own corn harvest seriously deficient, both in quality and quantity; with famine impending over Ireland, in consequence of the failure of somewhere between one third and one-half of the crops which there supply the staple article of popular diet; —it seems inconceivable that any Minister, in the present state of public knowledge and feeling, should venture to await the action of a law which, though expressly made to let in foreign corn when wanted, exhibits, at this moment, the monstrous coincidence of a prohibitory duty with (for good wheat) a famine price. We should not, on any less decisive evidence than his own acts, suspect our bitterest political opponent of the cold-blooded infatuation of intending to sit still end look on while the scale slides, shilling by shilling, and week by week. The Premier must mean to give the scale a push, to make it keep better time with the growth of those national necessities the relief of which he designed that it should facilitate. As matters stand, our corn-law is more than a mere obstacle to the supplies which we need so sorely. Its operation is not merely obstructive. Under the present circumstances of Europe, it actually causes the re-exportation even of such scanty supplies as the merchant venturers of the most perilous of trades have dared, in defiance of pivots and rests, to land on our shores. With the ports of Holland, Belgium, North Germany, and Russia open to free importatio i, our sixteen shilling duty is virtually a sixteen-shilling bounty on expor tation. At this moment the corn merchants of Liverpool are, it seems, sending their bonded wheat to Russia—Russia, meanwhile, putting a premium on its importation, by exempt ing corn ships from port dues. Is it possible that any Minister should let this go on? We need not say that we do not recommend a resort to the worse than equivocal policy of forbidding exportation. To cure the effects of one prohibition by another would be but the old wife's recipe—" a hair of the dog that bit you." But to hold out special inducements to the exportation of what little we happen to have—when we want, and shall want, all and more than all, that we can possibly get—is doe nright fatuity. We must start fair with our rivals in this lace In the great European competition for the means of life we can not afford to give advantages. Those peculiarities in the case of Ireland which especially call for prompt action, we have noticed on a former occasion. At this season of the year, before the frost blockades those northern ports to which, so far as Europe is concerned, we must look for our chief supplies of the coarser species of grain, every week is precious. We must also entreat attention to the singularly insidious character of that mysterious cala mity which now threaten s th a t wretched country with the worst horrors of famine. We already know enough to justify the most distressing apprehensions; but we likewise know that we do not, and at present cannot, know all. The potato plague, or murrain, or whatever else it may be called, which is now devastating Ireland, is described by the Government commissioners 'as "an enemy whose history and habits are yet but imperfectly known." Nothing is per fectly known of this enemy, but that its ravages are of im mense and unascertainable extent—that it attacks, on the shortest ,notice, both growing and housed crops which were previously considered safe—that the :most promising signs of vegetable health may turn out to be utterly deceptive—and that the enemy is beyond measure difficult to dislodge from a soil of which it has once taken possession. Is this an enemy to trifle and temporise with? We are almost ashamed to al lude to considerations which, in the view both of statesman ship and of humanity, should now be held undeserving even of a passing thought. Yet we cannot forbear adding, that the class interests to which protection professedly mi nisters can, at all events, have nothing to apprehend now from the boldest and most sweeping of measures. All objections, or pretences of obji ction, to " sudden" change, are nullified by the circumstances of the present season. The change now would not be sudden. The utmost that any change could effect would be to maintain something like the status quo. Though an order in Council slid down the scale to zero to-day, and an Act of Parliament fixed it there to-morrow, farmers are secure of their "remunerating prices." The landlords may make themselves quite easy on the score of a possible superabundance. Tamboff itself is effectually put hors de combat. The men who dread a corn invasion now are of that genus of alarmists who would have cried " fire" at the general deluge. Even the poor agricultural labourer, whom they dread " throwing out of employment." is provided for too. The railways will take care of him if only Government will take care of the railways, and of that which keeps rail ways going. TIMES.—The minds of all who feel, not only an interest in the condition of Ireland. but a sympathy for the priva tions of their fellows, are now fully aroused to the state of the sister country. All men of all parties are unanimous in pronouncing the necessity of prompt and energetic action to arrest the progress of the fellest calamity that can devastate a nation. It is one of those striking emergencies which sus pend the operation of party tactics and the violence of party passions. The Orangemman and the Pa. pist, Tory and Repealer, Peer and tradesman, now meet together on one common ground, and for one common purpose, not, as heretofore, to mingle their complaints or concoct their censures of an indif ferent and contemptuous Government, but to unite their ex ertions and combine their influence for saving the masses of their countrymen from famine and its satellite—pestilence. It would be too much to expect that in an Irish assembly of any kind—especially in one collected under circumstances of national excitement, and composed of materials the most va rious and the most antagonistic—political allusions should be wholly forborne, and political acrimony completely subdued ; consequently, the little fracas between Admiral Oliver an d Mr. O'Connell, at the recent meeting in Dublin, may pass ler nothing more than a slight and natural tribute to the public spirit of their countrymen. But the firmness of the chairman in checking this desultory altercation, as well as the express determination of those assembled to fix their atten tion on one subject, proves the imminence and the magni tude of the apprehended danger. And while it must ever be a matter of deep regret to Ireland, that those who are the. most able to do her service by their position, popularity, or talents, generally seek opportunities rather of division than of co-operation, feelings the reverse of pleasurable are sug gested by a consideration of the cuuse which has now anni hilated differences and amalgamated factions. It looks as if Irishmen required some great and terrible calamity to remind them of their common duties and to restore them to common sense. At the same time, it might be ;ash to expect that the unanimity and goodwill which the fear of a great danger has consolidated will last beyond the evil day; or that the Iris`.; gentry will exhibit the same disposition to sustain the future prosperity of their country, as they do to mitigate its present more unusual distress. In such a crisis as that which we are deploring we might reasonably expect to hear of numerous and conflicting remedies. And this is the case. Various methods have been proposed for curing the diseased pota toes, and preventing the progress of infection. The peasant has in turn been advised to use acids, alkaline liquors, and chlorine. But these modes of treatment, however appre ciable they may be by a chemist, and however valuable on chemical principles, are wholly beyond the cotter's reach. If he waits until his circumstances or those of his neighbours enable him to make use of such scientific preparations, lie will wait till all his produce is consumed, and all hope abandoned. The Irish peasant, even when in the best position and the most complaisant humour, has but little love for the experiments of science and the tests of the laboratory. But when his existence is at stake—when the delay of a few days may entail a dearth of months—it is hard to impose on him a succession of trials which may each in its turn fail, and which must each in turn cost him both time and money. In the suddenness of new embarrassments, and the perplexity of confli sting recommen dations, he may lose not only the opportunity, but also the hope of deliverance; whilst a timely resort to those more ob vious and simple means with which the nature of the soil and the character of the country, and his own arm, have furnished him, may enable him to secure a certain portion of his food from infection. And this he should attempt. No thoughts of comparative failure should deter him. Those who are really and honestly his friends should impress on his mind that it is his duty to save from the virulence of disease as much as he can ; if he cannot recsue provision for six months, thee let him try that for five; if for five appears hopeless, let him try for four, and so on. Only let him be made aware that on his efforts--simple and laborious efforts, like those re commended by the Government Commission, depends not only the question of more or less food at the beginning of the next year, but of seed for that which is to follow —in a word, the hope of future crops. But it is impossible that any reflections suggested by the state of the Irish people at this time should bound th emselves by a mere consideration of the potatoe failure. The potato is pronounced by all practical chemists to contain the least possible quantity of nourishment in propor tion to its bulk. Yet this is the staple food of four millions of our fellow-subjects ; and weak, inefficient as it is, when most plentiful, it is now to be reduced one half, and perhaps two-thirds, in its supply 1 Such are the conditions of life to the Irish peasantry l Alas ! whenever one begins to investigate the sufferings of Ireland, the mind becomes entangled in a labyrinth of distresses, such as no other nation is subject to. One misery opens on another, and one privation on another, greater than that which pre ceded it ; and the remembrance of its ordinary almost dis heartens us from attempting to alleviate its extraordinary sufferings. But, the huge necessity of the case looms through the mists of doubt and fear which gather round the gaunt image of famine, and suggestions come forth plentifully,— vague notions, sometimes more in har mony with the obscurity around them than with the capability of - execution. But, when did a crisis not teem with impossible theories? Mr. O'Connell complains that Ireland is exporting corn to England at this moment, at the risk of starving her own people. Surely he cannot be seeking to raise an agrarian clamour against the exportation of wheat to this country. A more foolish cry could not be raised. At no time has much native wheat been consumed in Ireland; nor do we believe that, if all growing there were kept back for home consumption, its supply would materially affect the aggregate quantity of food six months hence; whilst the people would lack and starve from lacking that greater abundance of coarse food, purchaseable by moneyob tained in the English markets. We hope that, at all events, the Irish, for their own sakes, will be cautious not to inter rupt that commerce with England, which is of such inesti mable value to 'themselves just now. England might buy corn from America; but where would Ireland find the means of buying grain for herself, after a self-exclusion from the English markets? Among other recommendations, that of opening the ports is one which has probably presented itself to the minds of all ere this—one of which the aspect of affairs both.in England and Ireland warns us, but which bides its time for execution, whilst that which seeks to give employ ment to the people embodies an idea not indeed new to those in England who have studied the problem of Irish grievances, but worthy of remark as proceeding from two mixed assem blies of Irishmen, and representing a sentiment common to all parties in the state. The means of achieving this great end will remain a subject for after-thought, when this dearth shall have passed away. This is a topic which no prosperity can make us slight, and no calamity ma k e us forget. It grows upon the mind with every day. It in volves the most profound considerations of social and poli tical happiness. It involves questions of race, of rank, of reli gion, of population—of everything which a philosopher regards with attention and a citizen with solicitude. And, whatever may be the means eventually adopted for conferring on the Irish peasantry that greatest beep, the bete; 9f general told " IRREaULAR CAVALRY.

The Very Re v . Dr. Montague died at Maynootb, of which he was Presidect, on Wednesday last. His whole life nearly was spent within its walls. Few of his contemporaries survive him, but there are among the Irish priesthood many who went through the College under his superintendence, and all speak of him as a mar of great simplicity of character, exalted piety, and of the most amiable disposition. He was born in 1773 in the county of Armagh, was solicited to remain at Maynooth when his course for the priesthood was completed, and re ceived the appointment of Professor of Logic, to which the office of Bursar was soon after added. In that position hi intercourse with the students was extensive, frequent, and familiar, and to that circumstance, perhaps, it is due tha, among the parochial clergy few are by them so affectionately or universally remembered as Dr. Montague.—Cork Southern Revortere MELANCHOLY SUICIDE. (From the Jersey Times, Oct. 28.) It is our melancholy duty to-day to record one of the most distressing occurrences which it has ever been our lot to bring under public observation. Miss Emily Bond, a young lady of considerable personal attractions residing in St. Mark's-terrace, died on S atur d ay b y her own hand, under circumstances of a peculiarly painful nature. A tale of mystery seems darkly to enshroud this melancholy affair, ' over which, perhap s , it were as w e ll t o d raw a veil. It were needless for us on the present occasion to disclose Every cir cutnstance connected with the doleful act which has hap pened to fall under our knowledge; it is sufficient for us at the present moment to aver that, from some cause or other, having either a proximate or remote connection with what in common psrlance is designated " love," the oung lady in question had for some considerable pe riod been labouring under a state of mind bordering upon insanity. The unhappy woman seems to have gone through the act with the most cool and. deliberate preme-, ditation. On the morning of the day on which she perished, she spoke to the landlady of the hure in which she resided in her usual manner, not betraying any symptoms of excite ment beyond those generally incident in her character. She was last been alive about twelve o'clock in the forenoon, at which period she retired to her bed-room, with the inten tion of again speedily coming down stairs fur the purpose of making the usual preparations for dinner. Two henna passed away and still the unfortunate lady did act make her appearance; and the. clock had already struck two, when it was considered necessary to arouse her from the slumber into which it was supposed she must have falen. No answer being returned to the repeated knocks by the servant at the door of her cham ber, a dread was inspired in the minds not enly of the landlady of the house and I er husband, but also of the young lady's father, that something unusual must have happened. To break open the door was now the only alternative left to put an end to their suspense, and the old gentleman at this juncture is said to have expressed himself to the effect that he was prepared for the worst which might happen, thereby implying the general uncertainty connected with the state of mind of his daughter. An entrance having been thus effected, the fears previously conceived now stood oefore them in dread reality, for, horrid to relate, the first object which caught the . eye was the lifeless body of the unfortunate woman, suspended by the neck from the iron rod which stretches between the lowerposts of the bedstead. Medical assistance being promptly called, no means which could be resorted to were able to re store animation, death having taken place at least two hours previously. We have proceeded thus far in our account of this melan choly affair, and we can anticipate the observations which we imagine will be uttered in regard to ourselves. It has been stated that the tragical occurrence which has just taken place, was attributable to an article published in this paper on Ft iday last; and if the allegation be correct, we beg thus publicly to express our most sincere sorrow and commiseration. The ob servations therein implied were grounded upon information with respect to the truth cf which no doubt could be enter. tamed. Here was a young woman plunged in the most pro fowl(' depths of that peculiar feeling which is said sometimes to attach universally to the human character. She had seen an individual for whom she had cherished a warm affection; letters, according to her own account, were said to have passel between the parties and the gentleman broadly hinted at in her statement of the affair was stated to have professed to • wards her a warmth of love almost equal to her own. Sits said that she had received letters from him, that at the hour of night, when no human eye beheld and no human ear heard, the lady and her sweetheart met together; that cir cumstances happened which it were needless that we should here detail, but which if true must ever cause the memory of the deed to rankle in the breast of him who was its perpetra tor. The day ou which the last and final interview took place the mind of the unhappy woman became agitated to au ex treme degree. Her former calm and innocent behaviour was now converted into frequent and incoherent reprehensions of him whom she alleged was her deceiver. She offered up a krvent wish to God that her brother was on the spot, and that to him she might co, tide the ter r ibl e b ur d en which pressed upon her hea r t. The iniOrmation was conveyed to the in-, dividual who now pens these lines, and the article was written, not that it should affect the heart or feelings of the unhappy woman, but that it might either strike to the cure the individual whose future peace of mind was so terribly at stake, or cause him to come forward and vindicate his in nocence. Thus far and no farther we at present pro ceed in this our melancholy duty. If there be a feeling which can ever soothe our own miud in our future career, it will be the consciousness that we have injured no one wit.- fully, or sent a fellow mortal unprepared before her maker. We court the strictest and most searching inquiry, and it will be mere mockery of legal investigation, if none should be given. It will only be sufficient for us in addition to state that the unhappy woman had been Previously confined in a mad-house as a lunatic, and is said on a former occasion tohave attempted the crime of self-destruction. STATE OF TRADE. MAscifEsTER, Nov. l.—lf any alteration must be noticed in our staple market, it is that more business has been done generally where parties would give way in price; and we learn that varns have receded in value id. per lb. Our cloth market may be seid also to have a downward tendency, and power-loom printers are full 3d. per piece lower from the highest point. Domestic cloth is equally flat, unless the manufacturers will give way in price, which m any h ave b een forced to do to effect sales. November is the month that merchants and printers commence operations fur the spring. and many make contracts fur two or three months; stocks being unusually light we do not anticipate any very material change in prices. The country houses are, as usual at this season, very fiat, but still better than they were last week. 27-inch 6U's, 4s. 4id. to 4s. 7id.; 66's, 4s. lOid. to Ss. 3d. ; and 72's, ss. 9d. to Gs. lid. 40-inches are still scarce, and 60's are selling from Bs. 9d. to 9s. 3d.; 66's, 9s. 7id. to 10s. LELDS, Nov. I.—Our markets at the cloth halls have been dull both on Saturday and Tuesday; the latter in particular was one of the dullest of the year. The stocks on hand are low for the season, and as the manufacturers are producing less than for some time past, there is little probability of heavy stocks of winter goods being left over the season. Pricesare without any alteration. There has been rather less done in the warehouses this week than of late ; on the whole, however, there is about the same amount of business doing as is usual at this late period of the year. BRADFORD, OCT. 30.—Transactions in wool are not exten sive, and the difficulty of purchasing from the grower is in nowise lessened. The gradual every day's consumption has diminished stocks in this market, which are not so abundant as a few weeks ago, except in low wools, a description th 3 is not at present much inquired for. We continue to receive most discouraging accounts of the condition of the yani trade., which is described both by anonymous correspondents as well as by the parties who supply us with regular information, as being worse than was ever before the case in the remeni iirance of the oldest houses in the trade. The disposition to ruu short time is becoming general, and we are sorry to sc e iarge numbers of operatives in the streets out of employ. The piece trade partakes likewise of the general flatness; but as manufacturers prudently abstain frcnn increasing the stot k of goods, prices remain stationary, and it is hoped will con. three to du so. H UDDE RS FIE LD, OCT. 28.—We have been una bl e to give so favourable an aLcount of the state of this market durin4 the past month as at any previous time since the commence men t o f th eyear. Although there is a to l erably steady de-. mand both tor the home trade and for exportation, there ap pears to be less confidence of its stability than has hitherto existed amongst commercial men. The month has not Aosed with a market equal to au average of its first three weeks. HALIFAX, NOV. I.—The market, in all itsbranches, is dull, especially as regards wool, several kinds of which are a shame lower. LEEDS WOOL TRADE, Ocr. 3 1.--English—This has been a quiet week as to sales of wool. There is not any alteration in the quotations of prices. Foreign_:! he trans actions of the past week have been mainly to supply the im mediate wants of the manufacturers, and nut very sstensiva in amount. Prices, however, remain steady. DREADFUL MINE ACCIDENT.--011 Tuesday last a very serious accident, which it is feared will terminate fatally, occurred to a man named Daniel Simcox, who is en• gaged as a puddler at Mr. Russell's works, near Wednestny. It appears that Simcox had been drinking rather freely during the whole of the night, and about three o'clock next morning he purchased a bottle of ale for the purpose of taking to his son-in-law, who worked in one of Mr. Bagnall's pits. On arriving at the mouth of the pit there was no one attending the machinery, and being rendered reckless by the drink he had taken, he deliberately tied the bottle to his coat, and seizing the rope, swung himself off the side of tie opening, in order to let himself down. He, however, mis calculated his ability to accomplish this dangerous exploit; tbr the friction of the rope, occasioned by his rapid descent, became so great, that when three parts of the way down, he was forced to let go his hold, and his foot at the same moment catching in a hook attached to the rope, he tumbled over, and was 'precipitated with great violence to the bottom of the pit. When taken up he was found to be quite insensible,and suffering from a severe fracture of the skull. lie was in stantly removed to his home, and attended by Mr. Reynolds, surgeon, but the injuries he sustained are so serious, that very slight hopes are entertained of his recovery. The pit where Simcox made his hairbrained and perilous descent, is, we uie derstand, upwards of WO yards deep. foams/. CROP EXTRAORDIN A ItY .—.lldr.
