ATTEMPT TO MURDER THE EARL OF

LEITRIM.

MOrrtLL, Sept. 16.

As the Earl of Leitrim was returning from the
board-room of the union workhouse, through the
street of this town, yesterday, at 2 p.m, he was
fired at by a shopkeeper named James Murphy.
Two of the constabulary were on duty in the
street at the time, and observing smoke issuing
from the window of Murphy's shops they forced
an entrance, and arrested Murphy with a large
blunderbuss in his hand, just as he was making
the rear. The contents of the
his escape by
blunderbuss proceeded in an oblique direction,
providentially leaving his lordship uninjured.
Three balls struck the wall at the opposite side
of the street, 35 yards distant from Murphy's
I
house. Murphy has been cotunitted for trial.
It is rumoured that his mind is, and has been, in
an unsound state.

THE HARVEST AND THE CORN TRADE.
The continuance of fine weather during the
past week has enabled farmers in the southern
and the midland comities to secure ei godd fof-
tion of their crops. In the north, hoWeVer, not-
withstanding the fineness of the days, the night
frosts have been against the ripening of the corn,
especially in the cold claYs. This year's crops of
ethibit every variety in quality and
condition, the lowest being simply fit for cattle
feed, and the best only coming up to the average
of former years. The markets have hardly set- ,
tied yet as to the prices of new wheat.; though it
has seriously declined from the starting price,
still the rates of old have ctily receded 2:s. to
35. per quarter; and unless the ries* tulles better

the stnailness and insiiiiieien4 of the stocks of

the values of Sew and old, both foreign and Eng-

yield be short of an average amounting to ten

of the harvest by one month makes so much less
to provide for, and the plenty and good condition
reported in Africa and Southern Russia seem
likely to meet all necessities. Prices abroad have
but little altered.

whole of S'estefday, a great deal of Mill has

GARIBALDI AND THE ITALIAN (QUESTION.

The Post says; that according to deSpatehes
from Naples, Garibaldi is exclUsively occupied in
organising the army and navy. The army is to
consist of I'oo,ooo men, and no less than fifty
vessels are to tie tinned for War purposes. All
looks as if the Dictator intends to go to Venice.
The Times remarks, that for the present, at
least, Napoleon 111 is satisfied to let the revolu-
tion in Italy proceed, so that it does not trench
upon the fixed precincts of the Holy City. The
Emperor has admitted that circumstances were
so exceptional, that he would not actively inter-
fere to oppose Sardinia. As to Garibaldi pro-
claiming the Italian kingdom from the top of the
Qurinal—perhaps he may—hat the time is not
yet come. If he should unhappily insist upon
attacking the French, the success of the whole
Italian game would be endangered; but Garibaldi,
though an earnest man, is by no Means d, madman,
and he must beware how, like an infant, he and
all his force would be in the grasp of France and
Austria.

The Post reminds the Garibaldians that, on the
first sign of a real rupture with Frances Austria
would at once buckle on her armour and take a
terrible vengeance for the lillatiliatiOns She has
endured.

The Daily News thinks that, if Austria has
really received the promise of Russian support,
Francis Joseph is not likely to await the attack
of Garibaldi ; it will embolden him to rush once
more into war without having satisfied any of
the just demand--of_s his people. If so, the first
cannon shot fired on the Po or the Adige will
find an echo in the popular insurrection of Hun-
gary and other countries.
