The decline of pauperism is one of the most favour-

period occupied in their transmission from New York to

mising, and we have had no more alarms about the
appearance of the potato blight. The harvest pro-

A fatal affray took place on Tuesday lust in Lon-
donderry between some soldiers of the 3llh depot,
stationed then., and the constabulary. The affair
originated in some insulting treatment offered by the
soldiers to a countryman; and the policy having in-
terfered to disperse a crowd which had collected, the
soldiers attacked them, using their belts in the as-
sault. One of the police survived the injuries which
he received little more than twenty-four hours,and all

belts off duty should be discontinued.
