DEATH OF EX-CHIEF JESTICE PENNEFATHER.—
The Right Hon. Edward Pennefatber, late Chief-Justice of
the Queen's Bench, which office he held during the
memorable State trials, expired after a long illness on Sunday,
at his residence in Fit swilliam..quare, Dublin. By his death,
a pension of (we believe) 3,0001. per enema reverts to the
crown. Mr. rennefather was called to the bar in Easter
Term 1796, and was, beyond all question, the ablest equity
lawyer of his day, his practice being nearly who'ly confined
to that branch of the profession.

THE POTATOES.—Within the last fortnight the
potato disease has mode rapid progress throughout these
districts. We purposely abstained from noticing its appear-
ance until its effects became decidedly and universally appa-
rent. The disease this year commenced at the same period
as it did the year before last; and, as was the case that
year, the earlier sorts have, generally 'peeking, become
independent of the haulms, and so escaped the baneful
influences of the mysterious infection. Until the disease
made its appearance the potatoes presented a most
healthy and luxuriant appearance; and both as
to 9uantity and quality were all that the most sanguine
agriculturist could have desired. The prospects of the corn
harvest as to returns are most ,heering, and until the last
day or two the weather has been most favourable. We are,
therefore, led to hope from the advanced state at which the
potato crops had arrived, and the apparently diminished
malignity of the disease, that the supply of corn will mate-
rially
000nterset the effect of this year's visitatlon. We find
in some localities, where the disease had made its appear-
ance, that the haulms have either been pulled up or cut
close to the earth.—Carrearoon Herald.
GREAT PRODUCE.—Mr. Andrew M'lVilliam, Little
Genoch, had ten stooks of wheat thrashed last Tuesday,
which yielded the extraordinary quantity of 15 bushel', at
591bs. per bustle. There were 170 stooks in the fi3d, and
Mr. M' William has no doubt that 120 of the whole will yield
in the same proportion.—Oalloway Advertiter.

ARRIVAL OP A GREAT PERSONAGE.—Captain
Steven,. who has just arrived from Ceylon in the West India
Docks, has brought in the ship Persia a fine male elephant,
consigned to Mr. Batty, of Astley's Amphitheatre.

PRODUCE.—MINCING-LANE, Half-past Two.—
The public Bale of 1,000 bags Manilla Sugar has gone otf at
an advance of fully lc ; the whole bought in by exporters
at 42.. to 425. Gd. (less Ws. duty). This is chiefly attributed
to &dykes received from Holland to-day, that the Dutch
sale of Java has sold about 3s. above the general,
valuations—the fact that the exporters can now
give. more by 2s. per cwt. than the home consumers for
foreign will.necewarily improve the price of British planta-
tion, as foreign will cease to be a competitor until British
plantation advances in equal proportion.—Coffee has gone eff
heavily, but &large portion of thesmall public aaleofplantation
Ceylon was damaged.—Rice continues to wear a firm ap-
pearance, and the deliveries for exportation continue to be
large.—Rum steady; fair qualities in Jamaica, 33 to 37
overproof, have been sold at 3.. 10d. to 4s.—Tea steady.

CORN.—MARK•LANE.—The little English Wheat
fresh up since Monday wrs taken off at the rates of that day.
We experience a better demand both for foreign Wheat aid
barrel Flour, and the previous quotations were well main-
tained. Barley sold but slowly, but without alteration in
ve'ue. Oats, of which the arrivals from abroad are again
considerable, and chiefly from Russian ports-M=7ot which
cargoes came to hand in bad condition-were difficult to
quit, unless at something under Monday's prices. In other
articles we have no alteration to report.
