Great preparations are being made in Galway for s)1
the reception of the Lord Lieutenant and Countess of si
Eglinton, who go down to the "city of the tribes" ,74
to inaugurate the agricultural show to be held there v.
next month. It is expected that their Excellencies C.
will remain in Galway for three days, during which
time they will visit the various institutions, and 10
enjoy an excursion on board a steam-frigate in the Is
magnificent bay.
Lieutenant-General Sir Edward Blakeney, G.C.8., ie
commanding the forces in Ireland, accompanied by no
his aideqle-camp. Captain the Hon. C. H. Lindr:ll
re
the Grenadier Guards; and by Lieetsmant- 4 S

District, left the Royal Hospital yesterday on a tour "
d inspection of the troops in Ireland.
The Adrorate of last evening has the following 111-
alarming statement relative to the re-appearance of
the disastrous potato blight :
The fearful malady which has of late yearn committed
each ravages on the potato crop has re.appeared this season K
with =usual virulence, and already a large proportion of se
the crop has been attacked. The appearance of the disease lei
has been manifested for some ten days; but as it was then RI.
only partial, and had not committed much mischief, we were .10
unwilling to refer to the subject in the early stage ; more I:
especially as no suggestion could be made in the way of we
providing a remedy. During the last few days the disease sc.
has very generally appeared, and in all cases has been tin. C.
usually rapid in its action ; the foliage of whole fields being 11
cut off in a few days, and in many cases the tubers have to
been already attacked. it.
On the same subject Saunders's News Letter says: so
We regret to learn that during the past week the fital SO
disease, known as the blight, has spread rapidly throughout 1?
the country. Although its presence is perceptible in every
locality, still we are aware that up to the present the tubers s
are not at all injured, the blight confining its ravages to the N.
leaves of the plant. Excellent potatoes, quite sound, are N.
selling in our market at prices varying from 4d. to 61. per Si
stone.
OR
A Galway paper of yesterday thus corroborates 16
this sad intelligence:
From the various inquiries which wo have been making "
111.
of must intelligent farmers, we regret to state that they
concur in saying that the disease in the potatoes hu again go
made its appearance. It is satisfactory to as.:d that the et.
failure is of • uartial nature, and not of sufficient extent to le
create any serious alarm. From the very considerable t
breadth of land under this esculent, no anprehensions need ;
be entertained as to the supply, which promises to be abets- pp
dant. The weather at present is delightful; occasional re- gi,
trashing showers fell which are peculiarly adapted for pro- N.
metiag vegetation, and bringing the cereal crops to rfee- is
t
tins. The latter present a most luxuriant and healthy ap- 11l
posoese.

the legal professions are amply represented. The IM

The Limerick Examiner favours its readers with ell
the following piece of information :
Mr. Potter, MP. arrived in town on Monday from Nij
Stockport. We understand the hon. gentleman has ascer-
tained that the attack made on the catholic, there was the 111
result of a conspiracy, and arrangement deliberately en- se
tered on. That it was by arrangement the police were
absent from the town, and the military without command; so.
and it is significant that slats, the head police constable has
resigned, and the °Meer in command of the army sold out. IS

IMPORTANT RAILWAY DeelelON.—A terse 01 some
se
considerable interest and importance to railway travellers 11l
has been heard before the magistrates at the Droitwich
Petty Sessions. The defendant was Mr. Henry Dykes, the to
trade superintendent of the Midland Railway, who wee '
summoned before the magistrates for an assault upon Mr. to
Hilary Hill, a surgeon, of Worcester. The affair arose out
of the dispute now existing between the Midland and Ox- 23
ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Companies
as to the working of the loop line of the latter company be. !,14
tweets Abbott's NVood, Worcester. Droitwich, and Stoke, A
and which is now being worked under an agreement R.
by both companies. The case occupied some time, but the
facts may be condensed into the following narrative :—On dt.

about to return from Droitwieh in the eve: ing they found ee
that the last Os(en' and Wolverhampton train had just
left, but that a Midland train for Worcester, running on the U
same line, was shortly about to start. They applied to the -.•
booking clerk at Denitwich (who acts for both companies)
for leave to travel by that train ; but though at first he
demurred, he appall ultimately to have sanctioned their (IL;
going, but said they must settle about the fare on their 1..
arrival at Worcester. Upon that understanding, Mr. Hill
and his brothers got into the Midland train, which was just it
sliest starting. when Mr. Dykes tame up, and after de- es
clartig that " they would carry no Oxford and Worcester
passengers," forcibly ejected them from the carriage. This le
was the result complained of ; and the defence was that
Mr. MM bad no right in the carriage, be sot Raring paid 41
his bre, and being unprovided with • ticket, and It was to
urged that the Droitwieh clerk had no power to give them se
pendulum * eater the train, and that if he did so, it was Si
newUllnity. The magistrates decided that Mr. Dykes was
wrong, and tined him U., or a fortnieht's imprisonment. iv

RAILWAYS.
THIS DAY.
Two o'CLoca.
The railway market opened with an improved ap-
pearance this morning, the rally of yesterday after-
noon being well supported, and, though prices have
since gone back los. per cent., the appearance of the
market is not unsatisfactory.
French shares are still looking up.

MONEY MARKET.

EVENINO.
The English stack market TIVIIIIDAY
was flat during the
greater part of the day, but closed more firmly, at an
advance of / per cent. Reference was made to the
re-payment of a million sterling by the French tree-
suryto the Bank of France, as indicative of an im-
proving tendency in the reveaue of that country, and
consequently affording another guarantee against the
contraction of a government loan ; but little impor-
tance was generally attached to this operation, as
under the present re,ynne decided confidence is not
placed in the statements, financial and otherwise,
officially put forth. Business in this department
continues to be of only secondary importance
owing to the attention required for the heavy settle-
ment in shares. Consols opened at 100 l to 1' and
were sold at par for cash, but rallied to 1001 to .
for money, and 1001 to 1 for the 12th of August,
I and so officatlly closed. After the regular hours the
price was called 1001 to 4, both for money and
time. The following is the official business report :
—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 1001, 1,
100, 1; ditto for account, 1001, I. 1, 1. Three per
Cent. Reduced, 100;, 1 1; New Three-and-a-
gesatier per Cuts., 1014;44,- -fires-per-fleet.
Annuities, 1728, 991. Long Annuities, 1860, 64,
15-16. South Sea Stock, 1101; ditto Three per
Cent. Annuities, 1751, 991. Bank Stock, 232, 2311.
The unfunded securities remain unchanged in
price. Exchequer Bills, March, 765. to 79e. prem. ;
ditto June, 70s. to 73e. prem. India Bonds are very
quiet.
In the foreign house, the business was chiefly in
connexion with the settiement of the account. Pe-
ruvian stocks remain flat. Russian Fives have
reached 121. In other securities there is very little
change. The day's sales are thus recorded :—Belgian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 961, 1. Brazilian Old
Five per Cents., 102, 1011, 1021; ditto New Five
per Cents.,- 1829 and '39, 102. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents., 64, I, 2 ; ditto Four per Cent.
Certifs., 971. Mexican ?few Three per Cents., 25/,
1. Peruvian Actives, 101; ditto Deferred 1 hree per
Cents., 601, 01. Russian Five per Cents., 121; ditto
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 104. Sardinian Five
per Cents., 941, 1. Spanish Old Three per Cents.,
491, 484; ditto New Def. Three per Cents., 22, 211.
We understand that the returns of the Bank of
England for the week ending Saturday last, to be
published to-morrow evening, will show an increase
of about 75,0001. in the stock of the precious metals.
Transactions are reported in London Joint-Stock
Bank Shares at 181; London and Westminster Bank,
32'1; Oriental Bank, 371 ex new ' • Union Bank of
Australia, 501; Union Bank of London, 161 ex div.;
Crystal Palace Shares, 41; General Steam Naviga-
tion, 29, 1; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 851,
85; Royal Mail Steam, 801.
The anxiety which has been felt by the Mexican
bondholders relative to the threatening aspect of the
question in dispute between the republic and the
French government, consequent upon the export
free of duty of the 2,100,000 dollars indemnity
money, appears to have been perfectly groundless.
We understand that the subject has given occasion
to correspondence between the French and English
governments, and that the explanation afforded by
the latter that the shipment in question was in pur-
suance of a specific bargain between Mexico and her
English creditors, who, as is we'l known, gave up
other sacred claims to a considerable amount in
return for this money, has been perfectly satisfactory
to the French government, who will not support their
representative in Mexico in the hostile attitude as-
sumed by him in the matter.
The bondholders of Peru are interested in the an-

nouncement yid& we are to-day enabled to make,
that Senor Ono. who negotiated the last conver-
sion on behalf of the Peruvian government, will
shortly arrive in London, with powers to make
arrangements in respect of the several matters affect-
ing the bondholders to which their attention has of
late been turned. We understand that this gentle-
man has full powers to make arrangements that will
be satisfactory alike to the Peruvian bondholders
and the British public with reference to
the terms on which the future supplies of
guano shall be introduced into this country, a
modificatinn of which may in all probability be ex-
pected. This event is calculated to have great la.
*llene° on several important interests, and much
attention will be directed to the subject. Of course
the bondholders will not give up their rights in any
way, as at present existing, without receiving ses
equivalent, and, as the Peruvian government will
astarally be aware of this, no injury can be expected
to result to the creditors. It is considered probable
that next year, when the sinking fund of 1 per cent.
on the active bonds will come into operation, the
government may probably suggest increasing the an-
nual amount applicable for this purpose, as they
have shown themselves earnestly desirous of re-
ducing the foreign debt of the republic by every
means in their power. The effect of such an ar-
rangement as this would of course bo favourable to
the creditors, provided the operation of redemption
be carried on simultaneously in both classes of the
debt, 1. e., both active and deferred. With reference
to the investment of the 228,000/. now in hand, we
understand that gte indecision of tho Peruvian go-
vernment and its agents here on this ques-
tion has arisen from a misconception of the
terms of the convention. In Article 8 it is
stated that the whole of the surplus arising from the
guano sales "may be applied to the purchase in the
market of the new bonds," from which the agents of
the government have professed to infer, that the in-
vestment is optional. So the matter has remained in
abeyance for some time, giving occasion to much
dispute; but very recently the course has been
adopted which would at once have been had re-
course to in any ordinary commercial dispute:
reference was made to the original Spanish, in
which it is positively stated that the surplus shall be
invested. With this discovery, of course all doubt
as to the claims of the bondholders to have this
amount invested vanishes, and meanwhile the agents
are stated to be awaiting an answer to their
despatches to their government.
Notice has been issued to the shareholders of the
Lyons and Avignon Railway that an extraordinary
general meeting will be held on the 31st August, at
the Paris offices. The meeting will be required to
decide upon the different agreements having for their
object the cession to the company of the lease of the
lines from Marseilles to Avignon, from Alais to the
mines of the Grand Combe, from Alais to Beaucaire,
from Montpellier to Cette, from Montpellier to
Biomes, from Rognac to Aix, and from Marseilles to
Toulon.
There is little alteration in the market for Ameri-
can securities this week, but business, upon the
whole, is on a more quiet scale. Present quotations
