IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Loom 8.
The two announcements which follow are not very
encouraging to the introduction of English capital
and enterprise into Ireland. The Limerick CArosicio
says :
Mr. Browne, a Oloseeeter gentleman °frost wealth, who
wetland a largo tract of land near Cappawbite, has given
order. to break up his establishment then, and sell of all
hie fermi, g stock, in consequence of the pant attempt to

On ebs night of tie flat alt. (says the Raramanow

hmse. wages NI 310111110 ts, within two miles of Bascom-
eimea, arile bused es the grown. Fortunately non, of the
inmates were injured, and • eonaiderable quantity of furni-
ture was also saved. There is a strong suspicion, which we
mach regret appean sot ill-founded, that this burning wen

Our weather reports are once more most unfavour-
able. Yesterday afternoon the rain fell in torrents,
and continued at intervals during the night. The
following is from the " Notes on the State of the
Country, by John Lamb, the well-known correspon-
dent of the Nortkerve Wkip:
Dariag the last tea days I have beet as far south as
Dahlia; from thence north-west to Leuglord, sad west to
Galway ; sad I, eeeeequeetly, have seen more or lees of ten
counties. My movemeat• were very rapid, and mostly by
railway, so that my opportunity of knowing the state of
the crops was extremely superficial; but I have sees as
much as loads me conclude that all kinds of gran promise
• very heavy crop, if we are only blessed with suitable wea-
ther to ripen and save it. The oat crop looks even bettor and
heavier thaw last year. at the same stage of growth, par-
ticularly in the west and north-west. Whether it will fill
as well, and yield ea mach meal, in proportion, will depend
on the weather we have henceforward. In some plates the
heavy oats are laid quits fist, particularly in very strong,
reek patches ; bat all the farmers 1 thavereed with in the
west seemed to think she rain had done very little harm up
to that period (the 2ad inst.) Some of them thought that
the balsam of good done by the rain g Ily would far
sassed the partial injury sustained by soma heavy peaches
a oats sad ley. he latter is rather more laid than the
oats, sad is not, penally, as heavy • crop; but it stands
rain badly. The wheat crop, so far, looks extremely well.
I observed very few fields, or eves parts of fields, mush
laid ; bat, if wet mations', It will be very soft, and hard to
save. I saw many vi ry flue fields of thralps sad maagold
warns'. There w. re several fields of oats sold by amnion at
Longford last week, the buyer taking all chances and trouble
henceforward. The prices ranged from 12L to 13L for the
Irish acre ; very high pries, indeed. The potatoes every-
where, so far, look estroisely well. I have not nth • regu-
larly diseased potato or potato stalk this year, but I -did
hear some little complaints about very early kinds in the
county Westmeath.
Some specimens of the new flax crop that have
been ben ht to market are considered to be exceed-
ingly goW.
A rumour of a militia hneute on the Curregh,
which was not believed here, is alluded to in the fol-
lowing way by the Cbrk Reporter:
Considerable uneasiness was created in town, yesterday,
by • rumour that a row had occurred oa Banday, a% the
eacusposeat on the Curragh of Kildare, hinnies • Cork
militia regiment and a Dahlia one, and that it had termi-
nated in V•l7 eeri.e. results. We are happy to be able to
state, however, from inquiries which we made of all the
panne most likely to be well informed on the subject, that,
although an inwafe durTINFISTan, which at ale period as-
earned so s miens sa aspect as that the 80th Rifles were
obliged to be called in, and to charge with filed bayonets,
in order to quell it, only two men were injured, we under-
stand, rather severely. It may be well to esentioa that the
only Cork regiment at prima& emsomped ea this ChM/Ih, is
the North Cork.
