A meeting of the liberal cleetnrs of Cork WAS held
ye,serdse, to take steps for securing the return of
Mr. F. B. lleanci.h, at the approaching election for
thst City. ..c ea air was taken by Alilcrnian
Lyons, and the proceedings were conducted with per-
fect unanimity.
D. F. , ni,:y Pose has a statement os itie rt ference
to Archbishop Whately and the National Education
Board, to the following effect:
There Lae been for several years a National School et
S.illorgau, held in a wooden building at Itedesdale, the de-
mesne attached to the residence of Dr. Waattly, in that
aril about twelve months sine. this selaohi at
ri..ldergas had bean conducted under the earpiece of tire
Whitely in a most teed:table and impirtiol member. Some
prottstau", end many Demon eatholie children, agulavly
attecitel ; tales of ti.e beard had beta faithfully serried
'to and all was eoedueted in peace and harmony. But
reidenly all was cheered, efforts were MA ie to introduce •
new system of religion. hastruction for th. c ethohe
and toe perish priest, the lion Dr. Loni.—although ale of
'he meet ne,:detate and forlsarinr of men—was constrained
by a selema sense of duty to interfere tor the eroteetion of
the thildren of his eciesenueioe. A ceertspoodenta with
Arehhir op Whately ensued; and, although matters had
not been entirely in satiefiseture4 adjosted, yet there was
seen • so,-;.e.u.:er of overt acts of imstiiity, that the business
of the ache al I 'seceded. However. soon alter the recent
withdrarel of Archbishop Whitely from the National
Band, the Me! :re neusemesced in a still more vigorous
• determined fashion than before; tool on Thursday last,
war was epeely declared by Mrs. Whately. It has never
lean unr h ebit to introduce the name of a lady in commen-
taries epos pubeic topics; but, in this instance, we sin-
a rely scraz that we ere loft without an alternative. On
that day Mr.. Wes • 4 visited the schoel—expre -led stroug

Ti..- *aside statement of facts will, perhaps, serve to ex-
plain toe eirener..ances—heretofore by many persons cons

Wnat ly, • I nix mane:ion with the National lisard. The

the t u.e i .i.l etAru by Lord Derhy, " a combined secular

Up to the present moment our harvest prospects
are must encouraging, and the fine weather, which
has no-: set in with every appearance of perma-
nence, will, it is to be hoped, confirm these sheeting
promises. The potato crop has already arrived at a
deg (elf inatuti:y which renders any very extensive
iaeasson of the biight improbable ; and up to the pre-
sent the accounts of the fatal disease reach Rein
only very ten- localities, while in some cam; but little
erethe is attached to them. Mr. Edward Carroll, who
is known as an agricultural writer, states in a letter
to the Cork Examiner that the blight has actually
reached to a very alarming extent in some pars of
tl.e south, and proposes that other crops should be
immediately provided as substitutes for the failing
potato. The following statement is from the Northern
if7tig of this day :
Haeiag now arrieed at the first wale of autumn, the
state and prospect, of all crops may he fairly intimated end
considered, and when the unexampled wetness of the winter
and spring, and zeusequent backwardness of lahour and late-
ness ofteed-tasue—a lateness, wo believe, without parallel—
ate remembered, it is certainly a circumstance, as valuable as
it :petted, that the coming harvest promises to be so'
abundant, and so fully an average one. Our agricultural
accounts, of this morning, from various parts of the pro-
vince., all concur in this view of our prospects; the potato,
which, recording is the published accounts, is not good in
and in some parts of the eolith, continues in
Ulster hi dilly and luxuriant. In enclosed gardeas, where
we are informed at this time last year the crop was utterly
lost, it presents this season a flourishing appearance, with-
out a particle of blight. We trust such may be the ease
until the verretiole arrives at full maturity and ia put dan-
ger. The OM crop continues to be, on the whole, very
satisfactorily spoken of.

Writing from the opposite extremity of the island,
the Cork Examiner says:
The w erher for the past week has been exceedingly fine,
and must have done much to have brought the cereal crops,
which were in many places rather backward, close to
maturity. Should it long continue, and it gives promise of
doing so, we may expect the h to set in rapidly. An
to the potatoes, the aecounta are still much the same. That
the disease Las appeared in several places no doabt can now
be entertained, but as to its virulence or extent, the reports
are conflicting. We prefer to look at the cheerful side of
the picture, and are therefore inclined to give more weight
to the favourable than to the unfavourable predictions. We
have been assured that towards the West and throughout
Kerry the disease has not visited them as yet to any very
viruh nt extent. This is worthy of notice, for last year
the evil tidings were wafted from the West, now it is from
the East.
