• Roman Catholic clergyman of the south of
iiits• pasharday, in my hearing, that some of the
VBaIP&
eirTippnin7 were already prepared to take &dean-
t =Mina, and would refuse to approve of any
works. I can hardly imagine they would exhibit such mad
rashness in the face of a starving people, but if they should,
I hare been assured that government is prepared to act at all
risks, trusting to a bill of indemnity, which, in such a case,
the legislature would not refuse them. The Gazette of last
night contains twenty-one additional proclamations for
holding baronial presentment sessions in various counties in
Ireland. The lumber of proclamations already published
amount to eighty.

SCOTLAND.
Tilt HAZWEST.—Except in the very highest and latest
districts, the crops in Scotland are now all cut, and the
greater part safe in the stockyard. For the last fortnight
we have been favoured, says the Caledonian Mercury, with
a tr.* of the finest weather. During the early part of
last week, although rather close and sultry, there was no
interruption to the labour', of the harvest worth speaking of,
and during the last eight days we have not only had bright,
beautiful, and breezy weather during the day, but a full
harvest moon of almost surpassing splendour during the
night. Everything connected with the cutting down and
wearing of the crops has consequently gone on happily and
pleasantly, and we may now congratulate our readers on the
favourable termination of • bountiful harvest. No doubt,
in some situations, where the barley and oat crop were
caught and stunted by the droughts of May and June, the
straw has been short, and in looms instances the crop thin in
the ground. These, however, are exceptions, and we be-
lieve the produce of the present harvest will be at least a
full average. The loss of the potato crop is already telling
on the pnces. The alarm about disease in the turnip crop
seems to have dissipated.
ExTaziatut FINE.—TIIC Greenock Adrertiser announces
the total destruction by fire of the extensive sugar refining
establishments at Cartedyke belonging to Messrs. James
Fsirrie and Co. About three o'clock ou Thursday morning
the alarm was given that* stove in the adjoining chip build-
ing yard was on fire, and from its close proximity to the
large sugar-house, the greatest danger was at once appre-
hended for the safety of the whole adjacent valuable
property. In a short space the flames caught the house, end
speedily assumed a most formidable appearance, setting at
defiance every exertion to stay their destructive progress.
Fortunately the morning was calm, for the result would
have been rendered still more serious bad a breeze at the
time been blowing from any quarter. The large building
first seized stood in two short hours a melancholy ruin—pre-
senting nothing but blackened, calcined, tottering walls.
The smaller one adjoining soon followed, and the fire being
now confined, the engines were kept at work on the one
building, which continued till far in the day burning in
several parts. A very decent and industrious man named
Mattbewson, a smith in Messrs. Steele's building-yard, was
killed by the falling of part of the south gable of the large
sugar-house. Along with others he had been engaged at the
time at one of the engines, and when his body was recovered,
the hose was still firmly fixed in his hands. He has left a
wife and child to mourn his sudden and painful end.
Prunes TO FISIIERMEN.—The Duke of Sutherland, with
a view to encourage the white fishing on the north coact of
Sutherlandshire, has announced his intentian of giving two
prizes to the crews of such native boats as shall take and
deliver for cure, within the Tongue district, the greatest
number of cod, ling, and hake, from the first of this month
to the lot of May, 1847. The prizes consist each of a well-
built cod boat, with oars, sails, and materials for • set of
great lines. The district is to be divided into two distinct
division, in each 01 which a prize will be given. In addi-
tion to the above, his grace gives this year a prize for her-
ring fishing in the Tongue district, consisting of materials
jar a full drift of nets.
HOSPITAL.—A correspondent in Edinburgh
writes as follows:—" In your publication of the 7th
instant, under " Scotland," while stating that during
the vacation sixty-eight boys were allowed by their
parents or other near relatives to remain in Ileriot's
Hospital (out of the 180 boys usually in it), you
omit to state that perhaps not one of these would have been
allowed so to remain but for the inconsiderate regulation of
the governors of that institution, and which Dr. Lee, whom
massy deem less wise than zealous, and who is one of them,
has never done anything to remove, viz., that parents who
are resident in Edinburgh cannot have their boys out to re-
side with them in the city, no matter how respectable they
are, how creditable their character, or how " good their
limes." Before Dr. Lee complaios of the recklessness and
]artlessness of these parents, he should take care to remove
from his own door and that of his coadjutors in the govern-
ment of that institution, the real source of the evils be thus
lays at theirs. They can have them out of the hospital
during the vacation only, provided they send them. to the
country, and, as I have said, cannot, on any groundwr pre-
withe have them out even for a night to reside
them at their own homes.—A CITIZEN OF AVM/
REEIZIE."
AT A RECENT MEETING of the Town Council of Ding-
wall, on an interesting iscussion relative to the potato
disease, Provost Cameron stated thatatMr. Mr. Matheson, of
Auchany and the Lewes, was prepared, without reference to
other atrngements, to order Indian corn to the amount of
10,0001., to be at hand to supply the deficiency of food now
inevitable from the distemper among the potatoes.—Glasgow

PROVINCIAL.
LANCASHIRE.
Farms or FREE Taanes—The Liverpool Mail of Sa-
turday states that the Customs receipts at that port hare in-
creased within the last few weeks to such an extent as to
astonish the officers in the Long-room. The daily receipts
at the Customs, until lately, reached from 7,0001. to 8;0001. ;
whereas the receipts on several days recently have been
13,0001. to 14,0001. Remembering that raw materials and
other articles, which form the most bulky part of our com-
merce. are now mostly " free," what a wondrous expansion
of trade is involved in the one " fact !"
ROBIAERY OE Llso.—At Liverpool, on Friday, a woman
with a pair of black eyes, was committed for trial on a charge
of robbing John Parr, a shopkeeper at Birkenhead, of a bag
containing 150/. The prosecutor had crossed the Mersey
to receive the money from Mr. Houghton, a solicitor at
Liverpool, and was robbed before re-crossing the river.
Tax MLNCHErITER PRRICt3.—The sub-committees and
general parks committee of the Manchester council have
agreed upon a report, to be submitted to the next meeting of
the council, recommending certain additional accommoda-
tions, in seats, apparatus far sports, and other improvements.
Both parks continue still to be frequented by thousands; very
little damage is sustained ; and the con act of the large
assemblages, which on Saturday afternoons and Sundays are
really more numerous than could have been expected, is ea
the whole very orderly and satisfactory. Some few
tions there have been, but these are both few and trivial
and there is a strong disposition on the part of the people
generally to repress any disorderly conduct, and to prevent
any injury to the igronnds or property in the parks. Alta
gether, the experiment hitherto has been most successful.
SINGULAR MATCH. —A wager was laid by several
gentlemen in Ashton-under-Lyne, on Wednesday last, that
a pigeon would not be able to compete with the railway train
'running between Manchester and Ashton. As the trains
upon the Ashton branch of the Leeds Railway were con-
sideted to run at a greater speed than those upon the Sheffield
branch, parties were despatched with the pigeon to Man-
s
chester. At the moment when the train started from Hunt'
Bank the pigeon was set at liberty, and arrived at home
three minutes before the train reached the Ashton terminus.
