When it w ed a u s c o ed ffei l i o d .m t i o le Dr , . Maltby, Com missioners gave him the option, of eithertaiTheitl,igeteree s i e them a portion, or the whole, of the estates, to serving to himself a clear £BOOO per annum ; or of retain_ ing the whole property in his own hands, and paying them a supposed surplus of £ll,OOO a year. He at once embraced the latter plan, and in so doing he acted with great worldly wisdom. Large fines, for leases of valuable coal-mines, have been constantly accruing ever since. Rumour is a notorious liar,—and therefore we do not give credit to the stories which have been flying about, of as much as £lB.OOO paid in one sum, for the renewal of a lease, &c. However, there is no doubt whatever, that his lordship had an excellent bargain. • • IRISH GRAIN MARKETS.—The returns from all parts of Ireland, received ill Dublin on Saturday, show a de cided fall in all kinds of grain, which appears to be unani mously attributed to the -measures adopted by Govern ment for facilitating the introduction into this country of ' corn and other breadstAffs. At the last Athlone market .priine wheat sold at 395., being a reduction of 12s. per barrel within one fortnight. At. Sligo the speculators have taken the alarm, and on Saturday last more oats and oatmeal were offered for sale than had been offered for several mouths past. The stock of flour in that town is estimated at 15,000 barrels ; the price is reduced fully ss. per barrel, and all the cheaper breadstuffs have declined in proportion. Indian corn, and'lndian corn-meal have fallen ss. per ton in Belfast. The Waterford market note states that wheat has receded fully ss. per barrel since the announcement of Lord J. Russell's plans, and a similar reaction, attributable to the same cause, has taken place. at NeWry, Londonderry, and several other leading mar kets. The learned Recorder in : at the Opening of the session-last week, very forcibly alluded to the melan choly fact that crime ~;) - d 3 on the increase in Liverpool. That crime, taken ;lie gross, has been, of late years on the increase cannot be denied; but still we are inclined to think that the offences are of a lighter and less cul pable nature than what we have been used to heretofore. In this opinion we are borne out by a very Valuable, use fiil, and accurate return for the year 1846, made by Mr. Parkinson, of the Main Bridewell. From these returns it appears that in the year 1844, the number of persons brought before the magistrates were 15,234 ; in 1845, 16,743; and in 1846, 18,171, showing an ,increase in the .year 1846, ever 1845, -of 1-128 cases ; and over 1844 of 2887 cases. Of those brought up in 1846, there were for indulgence in the vicious habit of intemperance 6392, of whom , 8226 paid the tines imposed on them—the amount of which was .4:844 7s. 6d. ; and 3166 did not, the amount of whose tines, if paid, Ad have been £825. Of assaults there were 1219 cases, for which £6OO were paid by 489 persons ; and 730 went to prison, for fines to the amount of £1455. For resisting, 122 persons, of whom 60 paid fines to the amount of £4B. Fighting and quarrelling— a crime which usually originates in that of drunkenness — has been most prolific, there being no fewer during the paSt year than 404 cases, 214 of whom paid fines, amounting to .07-15 s. • Sixty-two 'went to prison for fines to the amount of £76. . There has' been a great number " brought up" for the commission of another and most dangerous offence—that of throwing misfiles. For thii 149 persons were charged, and tined to the amount of £75 12s. 6d, of which £25 ss. was paid by 60 persons, being a balance of £5O. 7s. 6d. unpaid by 89 individuals. For playing et pitch and toss there has been ' only one who was tined in 15s. Of indecent exposure there have been, we are happy to say, but 7 cases ; and of using obscene language 20. Of smuggling tobacco there have been 124 eases, on which fines were imposed to the amount of £4750, of which only £l9O were paid, leaving a balance of £4560.

PROPORTION OF IMPORTED IRISH CRIME IN LIVERPOOL. kTIONS. URNAL dso in Half-Ye a j ec ies of the fo ro ve and iii Six, P. les .0 remain on In estimating the cost to this town of the present dis organised state-of Ireland, its ignorance, and the absence of a proper provision for its poor, we must not look Merely at the amount of temporary relief administered. In many other ways Irish misery presses upon the re sources of the British people. An examination of the re port of Mr. R. E. Highton, Governor of the Liverpool Borough Prison, showing the state of crime during the last year, affords a startling proof of the extent to which we are burthened by the offences of our immigrant Irish population, In 1846, Mr Highton finds a decrease of 20 of the felons born in Liverpool, and an increase of 148 of those born elsewhere, on a total number of 577 committed in the years 1842-3. Of this increase 17 persons were born in Lancashire ; 27 came from other English counties ; 13 came from Scotland, and 83, or fifty-six per cent. of the whole, were from Ireland. Of the increase of the total committals fOr all offences, which was last year 1303 over the number in 18 , 12-3-185 were born in Liverpool; .143 in other parts of Lancashire; 268 in other English coun ties, and 654, or 43A per cent., in Ireland. We have no doubt the statistics of crime in other ports accessible from Ireland, and in our manufacturing towns, would exhibit similar results; thus shewing the origin of a very serious charge, imposed upon us in the shape of cost of prosecu tions and of prison maintenance.

WITOLEALE SLAUGHTERING.--On Tuesday, the Messrs, Boustead, of Carlisle, bought up for converting into mutton no less than 118 sheep, which were slaught ered and sent otf vid the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway for sale in the London market. We have seen a beautiful little hat made for the great general, Tom Thumb, by our neighbour, Mr. D. C. Kin near, the style, quality, and workmanship of which reflect great credit an his taste and skill. It is the smallest hat ever made, and, we understand, fits the general remark ably well.• SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A STOCKIIROKER.—Mr. Henry Lanauze, the eminent stockbroker of College green, Dublin, was charged at College-street poli ce - o ffi ce ' by Mr. R. B. Clayton, for haven fraudulently obtained a transfer of • £9,000,: which was invested in Government stock, and for having drawn that sum out of- the funds, and applied the sante to his own use. It appeared that Mr. Clayton's father died in 1845, leaving this sum s toge ther with large estates, thr certain uses mentioned in hi:: will. Mr. Lanauzo was his broker, and he informed Mr. Clayton that the stock should be - transferred in his (La nauze's) name. and by thz!se means succeeded in gettinf , the money into his own bands. The.magiiltrates.decided. on sending the case for trial. . LIVERPOOL GETTUIDIAN SOCIETY.—The annual meet ing of this most useful institution took place on Thursday evening., at the office.s, Commerce-court, when the usual routine business was transacted, and the officers for the present year appointed.

IVORNING CONCERT KY TUE ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS. —At the express request of a number of persons who have been, delighted by their unique representations of negro life and melody. these able minstrels have been requesed to give R S :(!t 1111 grand morningcmicert at the Royal Assembly Room, in Great George-street, on Friday next, w hi c h will be Innicl advertised elsewhere. We believe this is tiw last oreasion on Which Am opportunity will be afforded bearing thern 111 Liverpriol. The yearly statement of Messrs. lylwin, Doss, and Co., of:Mirzapore, (" the Manchester of, India,") for 1845-6, received by the last arrivals, gives us a compara: tive statement of the trade of Bengal, for the last and preceding twelve months. The new tariff, which came into operation on the - Ist of June, 1845, by which in. creased duties were authorised to be levied on several de scriptions of imported goods, has had the effect of dimi nishing imports, except in the articles of cotton, yarn, and cloths, whilst it must have, at the same time, disap pointed the expectations of an increase of revenue to be derived from its operation. The import of woollens has declined in the year from 24 lacs to little more than 10 lacs ; of metals front 99 lacs to 57 lacs ; and of wines and spirits, from 211 lace to 15 lace. The general reduction in imports amounts to nearly a million and a half ster ling ; the to al number during the past year having been 62,000,000 r. against 76,900,000 r. in 1144-5. There is, however, one item of import; in which a singular increase has been observable--namely, English salt, no less than 18,500 tons of the finest description having been intro duced,—a circumstance which has interfered with the Indian revenue by retarding the sale of the native salt manufactured for Government, and of, which the quantity in store is understood to exceed 300,000 tons, valued at three millions sterling. On the other hand, the general results of the export trade exhibit a favourable aspect, the total amount being 104,000,000 r., which shows an increase over the preceding year of 11 lacs. Indeed, the exports of th e coun t ry h ave gone on increasing since 1835 iutil they have nearly doubled. The most remarkable increase has been in the article of sugar, the export. having risen from 2,852AX)r. to 17,893,000 r. In opium, indigo, raw silk, rice. saltnetre, and hides, the increase has also been considerable. The export of raw cotton shows an oppo s ite cour s e , an d h as .been . steadily diminishing year by year during the last 12 years ; the value of the exports, which in 1836, the last year of prosperity, was 38 lacs of rupees, having now fallen as low as 9 lace. The export of; cotton piece goods to Great Britain, which once gave - activity to 100,000 looms, has also rapidly diminished, and is now nearly ex tinct. With regard to the supply of cotton twist to the presidency of Bengal, Messrs. Aylwitt contend that the British manufacturer would find an advantage in con signing his goods direct to Mirzapore, rid Calcutta, in stead of sending them to an agent at Calcutta for sale, 111 , .. • • - since the Mirzapore merchants or brokers are always the buyers; and as they have to proceed down to Calcutta, a distance of 500 miles, to make their purchases, expense and delay would be saved by sending the article at once to the market of consumption. The Swan River Brats mentions further discoveries of minerals in Western Australia. Traces of a mine of cop per or lead, indications of coal, and specimens of ore; sup posed to be of tin or platina, have presented themselves, and, according to the letter writers of the district, have created the usual " excitement." This is an encouraging fact at the present moment, when it is all but universally acknowledged that emigration on an extensive scale is the only certain resource to rid us of a large poiti . on of the evils, with which the industrial interests of Ens country and of Ireland are surrounded: DR. ALFRED SMEE ON THE POTATOE PLANT AND ITS DISEASE. The last number of the New Quarterly Review; just published, contains an excellent analysis of a work on the - potat,oe plant, its uses and properties, together with the cause of the present malady, by Alfred Same, F.R.S., surgeon to the Bank of England, from which, as the subject is a most interesting one at the present moment, we shall take the liberty of borrowing a few facts.. The writer describes the potatoc as chiefly valuable from the fact that it is the only article of diet which contains in itself all which is requisite for the support of man. It contains carbon for the lungs, nitrogen for the muscles, phosphorus and iron for the blood, lime for. the bones, with hydrogen, sulphur, and, in fact, all the elements required for nutrition ; end these at a cheaper rate than they can be derived from any other article of food. From some experiments made in Glasgow, it was found. that 61b. per diem of potatoes alone were amply sufficient for the support of -a man; and therefore, at the ordinary price of the root, Id. per day would be the cost of living, which is robably the lowest at which a human being could he d. Anotb !- valuable property of the root is the fact, that for the 1, - ; , ur and space required for its cultivation, it affords e alimentary matter than any other plant whatew v. The ground has but :to be dug, the.seed planted bed up, gathered, and.the crop is at once fit for cul.' ar, purposes. "In practice," says Mr. Smee, " ever) ,naa with an acre of land can, by means of the potatoe, support himself and family; and, instead of re quiring anything from without, may lip e independently and careless of all surrounding creatures an d o bj e at s . ' But from this very property has arisen the danger of de pendence upon the root as the sole or chief support of a people. " A nation of potatoe-eaters does not feel those relations and dependencies which bind other societies together." * * " The relations between the labourer .and the farmer, the miller and the baker, do not exist; and, in the end, each man is in his own person king, magistrate, and subject, not caring for the assistance nor fearing the displeasure of any other human being." We have here the source of the evils existing in Ireland plainly traced. Ireland is a nation of potatoe-eaters ; and a single year's failure of a crop, which cannot be preserved or stored up for such an emergency, precipi tates such a nation into the jaws of famine. The precise time at which the present disease in pota toes first appeared, is not every clearly ascertained. In this country it was first pointed out by Dr.. Bell Salter, in the Gardeners' Chronicle, in August, 1845. There can be no doubt, however, of its partial existence in the preceding year. It was even then prevalent in Europe. A German writer, Von Martins, states in a very scarce treatise, ttat the disease has existed in Germany since the year IE3O, and that in November of the year 1841, Dr. Znehcariani wrote a paper upon the disease, which was read in the 'Royal Bavarian Academy of Arts. In 1810 the malady spread rapidly through the Bavarian Palatinate, which caused inquiry ; and on the 27th of February, the mischief was considered so serious that Government issued an order for the Academy to inquire into the malady—a task which was undertaken by Mar- tius,-whose conclusions are considered imperfect, owing to the fact that he confined _his observations to the state of the tubers. Mr. Since, however, has paid attention to the plant as a whole. His conclusion is, that the disease is mortification or gangrene, commencing so , netitoes in the leaf and being propagated down th stal and at other times commencing at the root am! Bran !ng up wards. Sometimes it attacks the base of t. est &.Ic, cut ting off the nourishment from the upper po, Lion, which accounts for the sudden perishing of the aboveground portions of the plants, whole fields of which have been known to wither up in a few hoars. The gangrene of the potatoe itself is of two descriptions, moist and dry. In the moist gangrene it is feu, d tuft the cells contain a very small quantity of starch ; and in the advanced stage these cells break up into a brownish material, and starch globules are found floating about in a fluid among broken down cells and spiral vessels. In the dry gangrene (gan grena sieca) the potatoe retains its outer form ; but on cutting it open, an irregular cavity will often be found in the centre, taking the form of an imperfect X. To form this cavity the mass of the potatoe has shrivelled up, and presents either a white or brown appearance. The matter left is found to consist of starch globules. The ultra result, in both descriptions of disease, seems to be the complete disorganisation of the cellular formation of the interior of the root: The Reviewer states that he has ascertained from starch-makers, that they are unable to procure one-half the usual quantity of starch from da maged potatoes—a fact which shews the fallacy of analyses of potatoes, the result of such analyses being generally to slew that they arealmost converted into starch. The causes of this disease have been variously attempt ed to be- acceuntcd for. Mr. Since himself has entered upon an -inquiry , into the subject, upon a principle which appears to us well calculated to elicit the truth. The death of a vegetable; he says, is eeferahle to causes simi lar to those winch occasion the death of a human being ; and he has pursued- the same mode of conducting the inquiry as to the causes of destruction of the potatoe. Man is htflueneed by temperature, light, electricity, ba rometric pressure, hygrometric state of the atmosphere, the action of new material as food,- morbid poisons, 'air for respiration, parasites drawing nourishment from the body, thc. ; but he maintains that to none of the influ ences parallel to these the origin of the disease is attribu table,. although souse are found to hasten its progress. The disease is rife upon all descriptions of soil, with 'all clegrees of moisture and all sorts of manure. He finds, however, that the plant is freeiist from disease When groWn upon uninanured soil, manure cawing it to assume a very succulent and cellular character. The fungi found upon the potatoe have been said by some to be the cause of its destruction ; but Mr. Smee proves that it is only an auxi liary, which comes on after death has ensued. The real source, of the disease he fi n d s t o b e a small insect, the aphis' xastator, which is to be found feeding, either alone or in company with others,. on the under 'surface of the leaves. The colour of this is various. In early life it is nearly transparent ; later it is of an olive colour ; at other times it is grass greeri; and at a later period of a reddish colour. The insect fastens itself by a peculiar apparatus upon the leaves, and' derives its nourishment by sucking the juices. It conies upon the potatoe plant in a winged state, and propagates with amazing rapidity, until a wfTele field or district is destroyed, when the whole. take wing again in a vast cloud, and fly to some new locality. Dr. Smee has observed them to settle upon his own person in the streets of London. - .Lest this latter statement should appear ible, the reviewer gives an extract from the letter of a friend cor roborating it. The writer says, that being in the midland counties from the Middle to the end of September, he was much annoyed by small flies settling upon him ; and on reading a notice of the work; and being shown thaaphis, he recognised the species of 'insect by which he hadbeen tormented. The ;lame insects have been noticed in Many other potatoe distrias throughout the country. Smee . finds that the destroyer does not confine it self to the potatoe plant. The hi. sip is similarly affected to the potatoe in many parts of the country ; the carrot ' is also affected ; there is scarcely any winter spinach left ; and even the horse-radish., which is at present coming to the London market, is extensively diseased. The insect is also found preying upon Indian corn and wheat, but not to such an extent as upon other roots. The visitation of the aphides and other insects is not a novelty in the history of the world. Our author refers to. the Bth chapter of kaodus, in which we are told of the Egyptians being plagued with an immense multiplication of lice. The same chapter states that the laud was cor rupted by reason of a swarm of flies. In the Book of Joel an account is gig en •of the (sheet of this excessive increase of insects—" For a nation has come-up upon any land, strong and without number" ; and " the field is wasted, the land mourneth ; for thtreorn is wasted, the new wine is dried up, and the oil languisheth." In the 2nd chapter of the same honk, a fearful description is given of another insect plague, where they are spoken of as the army of the Lord, troilg tot execute his word. Similar visitations are recorded in modern history. In 1785 France was raw,ged hy. the grub of the cockchafer. In 1688 the hedges and tress in the county of Galway, Ireland, were denuded of their leaves by cockchafers, and at midsummer the country wore tins appearance of the depth of winter. The visitations of locusts have been often recorded, both in Holy Writ and in history, ancient and modern; awl Gilbert White states, that in the sultry season of 1783, his honeysuckles, which were one week most beautiful, became in the next completely loathsome, being enveloped in a vineii substance, and loaded with black aphides, or smother-flies. - • . The reviewer considers that the strongest Proof that the destruction is attributable to these insects, is the fact that not-only are they universally found-upon the diseased potatoe plant, but upon all plants•similarly affected. That there is any remedy within human reach, he does not be lieve. The insects, howeVer, he says, are kept within bounds by ladybirds, larva of the . gaireck.-ing hymenep aeneeeewigs, some species of acari, epiders, and soft-bill birds, which should therefore be protected. In the mean time, it is desirable to isolate the crops - Which are liable to be affected by the malady. The wheat plant in'the North of Ei;( o .and is comine. up -0 everywhere most vigorously. The frost Boas not.T.eeln to have done it any injury. its powers of resisting cold arc almost equal to its power,T , of resisting heat, and the plant has grown and improved in colour 71106 4 the snow..
