IRELAND.

THE returns of the Registrar-General of Agricultural Statis-
tics for Ireland show that there has been this year an increase
of 87,293 acres on cereal crops, of 25,513 on green crops, and
of 53,873 on meadow and clover, whilst there was a decrease of
54,297 on flax. The total increase on the extent of land under
crops is, therefore, 112,382 acres.
EMIGRATION.— The number of emigrant passengers from
the port of Cork during the last week amounted to 418. Of
these there were 70 emigrating to New York, and 12 to Mel-
bourne; and on Wednesday the Vanguard (s), for Liverpool,
had 56 American emigrants, 55 of whom had taken passages
to New York. This return gives an increase of 153 to last
week over this in the number of emigrants to America, and of
84 in the number of emigrants to Australia ; but this decline
may be accounted for by the inclemency of the weather during
the past few days.
PROSPECTS OP THE FARMERS.—The Belfast Mercury,
speaking of the province of Ulster, states that, beyond all
doubt or cavil, the harvest of 1855 may be considered as one of
the most successful ever known in that quarter. " Whether
(says the Mercury) we look at the actual yield, or the remark-
ablyhas at all equalled the present one. The improved circum-

of land has been made to do its duty with great effect; fields
, and
into profitable culture. All these labours have tended to give
wider scope to general tillage, and, of course, to add largely to
the actual breadth of land under crop. It is within the mark
to state that the 5,682,990 acres of cultivated soil have thus
yielded one-eight more produce than a similar quantity of
land would have done ten years ago.
LORD DERBY'S IRISH SUPPORTERS.—Significance is given
to some remarks which appear in the Dublin Mail of Thurs-
day, by a prevalent report among the Derbyites to the effect
that a reconciliation has been effected between Messrs. Disraeli
and Gladstone, and that the public may be prepared to witness
a new coalition, which will embrace the refuse of the quasi
Conservative and peace parties. In such a contingency there
is good reason for believing that a large section of the Irish
follo,w.in gde Valneßituvilint! tofTord"PaUigiOn,"ialern;
now the true exponent of the feeling of the country :
" Cobbett used to say that a rustling in the straw always
denoted an uneasiness among the vermin beneath that called
for attention. There is a good deal of truth in the maxim,
and in obedience to its dictates we ask our readers to peruse an
article which we copy from a contemporary, in the hope that
some of them may be able to unkennel the vermin whose un-
easiness is therein manifested. The rustling indicates the pre-
sence beneath the straw of rodentia of the true Russian breed,
whose noise we should be sorry to trace to domestic rats.
The truth, nevertheless, ought to be known, and therefore we
ask—Does any one certainly know what influence prevails in
the Press, which has heretofore hailed as British ? Has
Gladstone slipped in through some cranny incautiously left
unstopped ? or has Bright gnawed his way into the sanctuary ?
This much, at all events, we vouch for to all whom it may
concern, that the rustling noted below conveys no more
intimation of the public feeling than it does of the true state
of the war question. The object for which the war was ori-
ginally undertaken has not been conceded by negotiation or
won by force of arms. England and France have an object
in maintaining the war. They did not enter upon it for the
specific purpose of the defence of the Turkish empire. The
reduction of the Russian empire to a condition in which it
shall be unable to interrupt the peace of Europe is the pur-
pose of the Western alliance." All the other influential Irish
conservative journals, metropolitan as well as provincial, sing
to the same tune—war to the knife with Russia and peace-
mongers of all political hues, until an honourable peace shall
be won by the force of arms.

R OMANIST MOVEMENT IN IRELAND.

THE Paris correspondent of the Times sends an important
letter from Rome, developing the intentions of the Propa-
ganda respecting a radical reformation among "the turbulent
clergy of Ireland." For carrying it out, the necessary powers
have been given to the energetic and persevering Romanist
Archbishop, Dr. Cullen, as Apostolical Legate, who, it appears,
has long enjoyed the unlimited confidence of Monsignore
Burnabo, the able Secretary of Propaganda :

are to be filled by men still in the prime of manhood, enjoy-
ing the perfect use of their physical and moral faculties, and
above all, whose docility to Rome, not merely in morals or
essential discipline—in which the Irish prelacy have never
failed—but also in every behest of Propaganda, is beyond ex-
ception or doubt. The cautious zeal of Dr. Cullen has, we
are told here, already considerably advanced this object, and
its entire success is confidently looked for. The remonstrances
made here last winter have had no other effect than to confirm
Monsignore Burnabo in his approbation and support of Dr.
Cullen's centralisation system. [Poor Mr. Lucas !J . . .
It would be difficult to point out what sacerdotal functions
impose on the Irish clergy the advocacy of the Socialist doc-
trine of ' tenant right,' which places many of them in a state
of armed neutrality, if not of hostility, against the Govern-
ment of their country, and supplies most intemperate elec-
tioneering demagogues as opposing candidates for seats in
Parliament. The Catholic clergy of Ireland have been, we
admit, of exemplary purity in morals, and are singularly de-
voted to the temporal interests of the people; but the turmoil
and distractions of political life have, we are assured, diverted
their minds from the more important duties of their sacred
calling. The ceremonies of the Church, and the splendour of
public worship, are consequently neglected and comparatively
unknown in Ireland ; their religious and civil duties are not
inculcated among the faithful; and the spirit of prayer and
affection for spiritual exercises which exist in other Catholic
countries are not found among a docile and impulsive people,
singularly favoured with the gifts of nature, and the grace
necessary to raise them to a high degree of Christian perfec-
tion. To remedy these evils, it is proposed to confine as much
as possible the clergy to their proper functions, and to impose
wholesome restraints on their interference in political or
quasi-political questions. . . . In questions where a dif-
ference of opinion may arise, the Bishop of the diocese, or
rather the Apostolic Legate himself, will indicate the course
to be followed, and thus unity of action will always be secured.
" In order to complete and consolidate the reformation, it
must extend to, and be firmly established in, the seminaries
from which Ireland is to receive her future priests and Bishops.
The experience of Dr. Cullen in the training of ecclesiastics,
and his admitted success, have, in the opinion of Propaganda,
admirably qualified him for this important part of his great
undertaking, in which he is powerfully aided by the zealous
efforts of an eminent ecclesiastic who is making great sacrifices
to elevate the character of the clergy of his native Church.
The seminaries are to be modelled on those of Italy, and all
the traces of a profane spirit and legislation are to be effaced
whenever:and as soon as it is possible to do so. More time is to
be given for contemplation and spiritual exercises, and the
young Levites are to see constantly before their eyes the com-
plete subordination which they are to practise when promoted
to the ministry. The seminaries are, in fact, to become minia-
tures, as it were, of the dioceses, and the position and authority
of their rectors are to correspond with those of the Bishops,
and to depend on the Legate in Ireland, or some other repre-
sentative of Rome."

OVER the "Oaken-gates Tunnel" of the Shrewsbury and
Birmingham Railway flows a canal. On Wednesday, the arch
of the tunnel gave way, and the canal for a distance of three
miles emptied itself upon the railway.
Tim Appleton crescent says the wheat crop of Wisconsinthis year will produce 20,000,000 bushels. Wheat in Madison
county (Indiana), will turn out 275,000 bushels at least : corn,
1,300,000; rye, 5,000 ; oats, 100,000 ; potatoes, 35,000.—805t0n
