IRELAND.

A SERGEANT-MAJOR of the 95th writes from the Camp
before Sebastopol—" We are so very close to the Russians
that the men amuse themselves with the following dialogues
to them, viz., Johnny Rush, no bona ; black bread ; Malakhoff
no bona," &c.; to which the Russians reply, "Engle no bona;"
but between these jokes in goes a shower of Mini 6 balls to
butter their black bread."—Waterford Mail.
THE POTATO CROP.—A most gratifying account of the
prospect of the potato crop in the western provinces, is given
in the Freeman's Journal, upon the authority of a gentleman
who has travelled over a considerable portion of the coun-
ties of Galway and Mayo within the last fortnight, and from a
personal inspection he is enabled to state that in those quarters
the crop has so far sustained no damage worthy of consideration.
THE Clonmel Chronicle tells of " a moving bog :"—" On
Wednesday morning last, a large portion of bog, the property
of Lord Norbury, at Clonkelly, once more took it into its
head to move, after a lapse of seventy years. From the great
quantity of rain that had fallen for several days past the bog
began to float, and the water, not having vent, lifted the bog
completely ; when the water burst it floated away a large por-
tion of it, consisting of from three to four acres, to a distance
of forty or fifty yards."
THE LABOUR-MARICET.—TIe Waterford Mail states that
labourers are not to be had in the locality, emigration, the
Crimea, and the militia, having left the agriculturist without
the force which he ought to have within call to meet the crisis
which now stares him in the face :—" He is, it is true, willing
to encounter it, but then he must pay heavy wages to the
labourer; 3s. 4d. per day was refused this morning. The
labour-market is looking up, and the farmer must submit to
its demands, or otherwise see his golden grain shedding from
its head."

" THE DOWNSHIRE PROTESTANT,"

AFIRST-CLASS WEEKLY PROTESTANT
JOURNAL, advocating, firmly and boldly, the doctrines of
the Reformation, and the principles of the Revolution of 1688, is
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY MORNING,
At the Office, 103, Irish-street, Downpatrich.

An able London Correspondent contributes a weekly letter on
Protestart matters. From Glasgow, a leading member of the
Free Church of Scotland missions contributes articles on " Po-
pery in Scotland," and other important subjects. A series of
articles are in course of publication on " British Rule, and Mus-
covite Government," by a gentleman every way qualified for the
duty. Other able writers aid us in our earnest desire to make
the Downshire Protestant worthy of the general support of the
Protestants, not only of the North of Ireland, but of the United
Kingdom, as an uncompromising advocate of sound Protestant
principles as the means of elevating the social, moral, and re-
ligious condition of the people.
The Downshire Protestant, having already attained an exten-
sive circulation, is a most desirable medium for Advertisements,
which are inserted at a rate peculiarly advantageous to the Ad-
vertising public.
A specimen copy will be forwarded to any address, on receipt of

REBELLION AT GAMBIA.-THREE VILLAGES
BURNT.

PLYMOUTH, Monday Morning.

The Canada steamer has arrived. Dates—Old Calabar, July
14th ; Cameroons, 16th ; Fernando Po, 18th ; Lagos, 22nd ;
Accra, 24th ; Cape Coast, 25th ; Liberia, 30th; Sierra-Leone,
August 3rd ; Bathurst, Bth ; Goree, 9th ; Teneriffe, 16th ;
Madeira, 19th. Retriever steamer left Goree on the Bth for
Bathurst. Rains unusually heavy at Fernando Po. Govern-
ment approved the burning of Old Town Calabar for infraction
of treaty. A very sanguinary affair occurred on the 17th July
at Gambia, the natives having broken out in open rebellion,
in consequence of an attempt to arrest a man who had carried
away a man and his wife from a village for slaves. The police
and a small military force were repulsed. Lieut. Armstrong
was wounded, and two soldiers were made prisoners. The
marauders then burned three English villages ; on which
Governor O'Connor proceeded with 200 men to take St. Mary's,
but was waylaid by the natives, and driven back with a loss
of 30 killed and 43 wounded. Among the latter was Governor
O'Connor. He then obtained the assistance of a French man-
of-war, and 160 white troops, who carried the town at the
point of the bayonet, and on the 3rd totally destroyed it. The
French had two killed and five wounded. The British had
none killed, but 30, with volunteers, wounded. The natives
lost above 200.
Bathurst is in a very insecure state.
