THE PROVISION TRADE AT CORR.
Since the failure of the potato ere" the provision trade of
Ireland bee undergone a gnat and material change. The
article which has been most seriously affected by that
failure is pork, the quantity of which produced in Ireland
has decreased to a great extent within the last few yeah.
We have no looser the immense export trade
in live pigs which existed a few years since; and
in contract sad mesa pork for chips use the quan-
tity made up in Cork at present bean a very email
portion indeed to the trade that existed in this article some
years back. Pork at present ranges from 33a. to 345, for
scalded, sod 40s. to 425. for singed Pigs. The quantity of
potatoes offered for sale at the Cork markets during the put
week is Ica' perhaps than fur any corresponding week in any
year, either before or since the failure of the potato crop.

THE CONFIRMATION AT ELDAD.—A correspondent
says, that ever since the Lord Biahop of Exeter persisted
in holding his confirmation at Mr. Prynne's church, St.
Peter's, Bided, near Plymouth, the greatest excitement has
prevaild in the neighbourhood, and that the house inba•
bited by Mies &lion and the other protestant sisters '
mercy is being continually threatened, and that it is only
with the greatest difficulty that the mob have been pre-
vented from laying violent hands upon the dwelling and
levelling it with the ground. The erection of the new con-
ventual buildings, which Miss Sellon commenced building
last year on the banks of th*er between Stoke Damerel
and Plymouth, has been ded for want of funds.
BALLOON ACCIDENT. An incident, which was
near being attended with fatal consequeneer, marked the
descent of M. Mayer, in his balloon at Marseilles, a few
days since. The balloon came down in a field near the
railway terminus, but just as M. Mayer was stepping out of
the car it again rose, and, losing his balance, be was thrown
down, his feet becoming entangled in the cords of the car.
Three municipal guards ran to his resistance, but they alp
were lifted several feet from the ground and curled for •
some distance, until, from the escape of the gas, the balloon
came again to the ground, when they. were all relemied from
their perilous position without any injury.
