Mr. Wilson Gray exhibited, yesterday, at the relief
cmunittee, rime thetas d potatoes, with the marks of
bligtt fully developed. They had been grown at
Blackeeck, is a close garden, nearly covered with
amis-trees. Mr. Gray spoke as a precautionist, and
not an alarmist, and suggested that turnip seed might
still be sown in the pcor man's potato gardens.
A new species of crime is found in some parts of
the country, that of kidnapping children in the rum.
districts, for the purpose of exposing them in the
towns, as objects of charity. A case of this sort was
brought this week under the notice of the bench of
magistrate at Cork.
There has been this season a vast increase in the
manufacture of butter. The fsct is to be attributed
to landlords turning the farms of defaulting tenal.te
into pastuter, as a sum means of making profit of
the lands than risking the rent with pei.niless te-
nants. The Cork Coutibition of Tuesday has LAW
striking .statiatics on this point. During the last
week there was an increase over the corresponding
period of last year by the number of 4,723 firkins.
Midsummer eve was, in past times, a great holiday
with 'he Irish peasantry. They always celebrated it
by bonfire., keeping up the traditional beal-fires of the
ancirnt Irish. Bu' of late these old customs have been
much neglected. In the city of Cork, however, on the
evening of the 24th, a number of beal-fires were
lighted in honour of the holiday, and men, women,
and children assembled around them, dancing till four
o'clock in the meriting, with mote enjoyment than
the fmhionables of Alma&
An inquest was held yesterday, on the body of a
man who died from cholera, in which the jury found
that a police-constable had acted with shocking in-
human.ty. The policeman prevented assistance
being rendered to the patient, until the cholera cart
(ewe, and acted in a very disgusting manner, repell-
ing various persons who offered assistance. The
case occurred in the rabbis streets, at night.

The exhibition of pictures by the Royal Hibernian
Academy hes been opLutd this week. There are few
good paintings, the exhibition being a very decided
uniting-of hum former years. This is no wonder, as
our artists are not remunerated in the present suite
of society here, aid c, naiquently either emigr.,te to
England, or send their good p'ctures to London.
For a similar reason English artists of eminence are
not nowdesiroas ot exposum their productions for sale
in Ireland.
The Whaley stalleyy of pictures was sold last week.
It consisted of 132 pictures, whicn fetched 2,4001. It
was only the residue of the once celebrated ocl-
leetion.
It appears by a statement in the Cork Coolditotims
that the tanning trade is completely destroyed iu
Cork. Only a few years since it was one of the staple
trades of the city. The English manutacturets are
able to undersell the Cork tanners, and a variety ut
French leathers are now imported under Sir R. Pcel'a
tariff.

From north, south, emit, and west, the acounts of
the condition of the crops are most cheering. The
statements of the various journals are sußported by
private intelligence. With a good harvest this coun-
try will regain its cheerfulness and prosperity.
The meeting at Carlow for the promotion of emi-
gration is universally regarded here as "a eign of the
times." The absence of the from the mee

the the conduct of the meeting. and says " there was more
good souse and good feeling evinced then has been
observed in Ireland for army a long day."
Lest night many persons were shocked at the in-
telligence of the death of Surgeon Carmichael, which
occurred near Howth, at nine o'clock in the evening.
The unfortunate gentleman was drowned while pro-
ceeding to his country residence. Re ventured on
horseback amass a shallow, where an inlet of the sea
overflows the strand, but his horse fell over, and be-
fore Mr. Carmichael could extricate himself he was
drowned. He was much respected, and wu a very
eminent member of the faculty. On medical rerorm
his name is well known, and he discussed in bill mis-
ts Menem' writings a variety of subjects with eminent
ability and research.

meeting of agricultural protectionists was held at Reigate,
when various resolutions were passed condemnatory of
partial free trade, and speeches were made, suggesting the
establishment of • national poor rate, " by which funded
roperty might be brought to • just and proper bearing."
resolution was also passed to the effect, " That the meeting
feel strongly the importance of perfect freedom to British
industry, without which the great wheel—this empire—can-
not be kept in motion. They therefore earnestly seek for
the immediate repeal of the malt and hop duties, of
the assessed tarn, and an universal poor rate,
by which the funded, as well as other property,
would lesconts liable to the maintenance of the poor."
It was further resolved that • memorial should be presented

adopted for the rupees of agitating the queatloa. The sub.
poet of the income tax was also introduced, and thereupon the
1 following resolution was adopted: "That the immediate

The grand ducal escutcheons were torn down, and,
together with the lirre eras, usually deposited in the

" Long live Italy, tree and milted !" " Death to
traitors!"

The Bevista Ind*ndeate of Florence, of the 12th

This morning the grand jury returned a true bill against
John Gleeson Wilson, for the murder of Mrs. Blearichson,
her servant, and children, is January last.
Mr. Serjeant Wilkins, who will conduct the prosecution,
applied to the court in the afternoon, and addressing his
lordship, said be had been informed that a true bill had been
returned by the grand jury against thereon Wilson, and be
wished to inquire if his lordship could appoint any day for
taking the case.
Mr. Pollock said that application had been made to him to
defend the prisoner Wilson, and though the brief had not
been handed over, he believed that it would be delivered in
proper time. He should agree to any day that his lordship
should think proper to appoint.

MANBLACOHTER AT MANCHESTER.
Peter and Owen Devine, two brothers, both young men,
were indicted for having, at Manchester, on the 20th of Ja-
nuary, feloniously killed and slain George Brannon.
Mr. Pollock appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Atkin-
son defended the prisoners.
The evidence, which was very elaborate, showed that, on
Saturday, the 20th of January last, the two prisoners were
at the Spread Eagle, Rochdale-road, Manchester. While
they were there, George Brannon came in, and, as be
passed Owen Devine, he trod upon his toe. Devine im-
mediately rose and struck Brannon over the right eye.
They then closed and fell, Devine being uppermost ; and
while on the ground Peter Devine, who had been stand-
ing on the table, came and kicked Brannon several
times upon the ribs with his Leavy clogs. Parties
then in the house interfered and took Brannon away.
After remaining under the care of Mr. Noble, the surgeon
in attendance upon him, for sir weeks, he was removed to

LONDON AND BLACKWALL.

The directors' report to be presented at the half-yearly
meeting of proprietors to-day, 'taus that the line has been
worked Ay locomotive power since April last, and that the
working expenses, as e :mp.red with the corresponding
period of the last year, when the line WSJ worked by ra-
tional,' power, exhibit a reduction of 3,2071 , nearly the
whole of which is to be attributed to the change in the mode
of trac:ion. On the other hand, there has been a diminution
in the receipt, consequent upcn one Hue only during the
alteration, working half-hour time, being in operation for at
period of throe months. The comparative passenger traffic
was as follow,: January to Joan 1848, passengers,
1,273,969; receipts, 22,0221. January to June, 1849, pas-
sengers, 995,137 ; receipts, 17,65 N. A large aug-
mentation of traffic is expected, from the extension
to Bow, and the East and West India Docks
Junction line. The
of 3,1821., which is plated at the disposal of the proprietors.
A sum of 1,9881 has been paid, under a decree of the Court
of Chancery, for tithes. The payments on the extension line
account amount to 236,6861. ; but to this is to be added
18,3781. due for works, and deducted 39,0081, value of
surplus property, showing the actual east of the line to be
a' ore 216,0001. The cost of alteration of gauge and of the line
to the locomotive system will, after sale of stationary engines
and materials, have amounted to 33,2841. The statement of
assets and liabilities shows that 81,9451. will be the probable
sum required beyond the present share capital of 1,266,0001.,
to provide for the wet cf chanting the system of working,
the parliamentary charges, and the excess of the cost of the
extension line beyond the original estimate. The directors
recommend that this sum should be raised by the issue of
debentures, which will ultimately be the only mortgage upon
the undertaking. The statement of accounts, of which the
figures in the report form a summary, are very copious in
details of receipts and exper dkurt.

ROMAN STATES.—We have news from Rome
up to the 20th inst. It seems that gnat agitation has
reigned at Gaeta f several days, in consequence of an
alleged note of General Oudinot. This personate
having heard that the Pope meant to abandon his
inG ntion of coming to bless the French troops, wrote
in such terms that the Pope determined to keep to the
promise be had made. On the 18th, all the journals
sent from France to Rums were stopped at the poet-
office.

LOMBARIPL—The Wiener Zeitung says: "The
instruments of ratification of the treaty of peace con-
cluded at Milan on the 6th instant, between Austria
and Sardinia, were interchanged in the acme capital
on the 17th. Yesterday evening the councillor of
legation, Baron Von Brenner, arrived in Vienna with
the Sardinian deed of ratification. We hope in our
next number to be able to deliver the complete text
of the treaty."

VENICE—The Concordia of Turin of the 23rd
instant states that Garibaldi has written from Venice
to his mother, in order to tranquilise her fears. On
his arrival at Venice he was obbfed to keep his bed
fora week. He has, says this journal, been named
rear-admiral of the Venetian fleet.
London, England, 1849-08-28

CALIFORNIA.

" The mails from California have at last arrived by
the Falcon, eel New Orleans," writes a correspondent
at New York. " I have half a dozen letters from
friends and men of business at San Francisco and
Panama by these arrivals, and I will endeavour to
give yon the substance of my correspondence.mmense amounts of goods have arrived at San Fran-
cisco, and, in consequence of the difficulty of landing
them,' the high rents, and excessive demands for
storage, sales cannot be effected at remunerating
prices. Two dollars and fifty cents. per month per
barrel of flour is the warehoaseman's charge. Sales,
therefore, are made at a sacrifice, to avoid snob
charges. Most kinds of goods are now cheaper at
San Francisco than in New York. It is, therefore,
very evident that large losses will have to be sus-
tained by those houses which have ventured much in
El Dorado. Yet, as if by a compensatory process,
cargoes are now being made up in San Francisco for
China, the East Indies generally, and the islands of
the Pacific. In this way some people will profit by
the losses of others.
"The emigration to California continues unabated.
Between January 1 and Aril 11, there were 3,604
males arrived by sea and 500 by land; and between
April 11 and June 30, by sea only, 5,686, of whom
209 were women. From Lonoro and the northern
departments of Mexico, 5,000 more. The present
population of California is thus estimated :—Ameri-
cans, 10,000; Californians, 9,000; Mexicans, 6.500;
Chitlins, 2,500; all other nations,2,ooo ; total, 30,000.
This estimate is probably below the truth, for many of
the land travellers across the plains, the whole num-
ber being estimated at 17,000, must have arrived.
By next October it is supposed there will be 60.000
persons in the country. One half of the number
then will be, as it is now, engaged in digging at the
mines. It is a very curious Get, that there is a steady
emigration thither from New South Wales.
" With regard to the amount of gold In California,
I believe there has been no exaggeration. The rivers
have been high, and the golden sands beyond reach for

Ermine, Taxes, and Past-coos; while the Stamps,
Crown Lands, and small brandies of the hereditary
involve are left entombed by it. Of the 5,904,8901.
dedeeted in 1848 from the grow receipts by the
revenue departments, instead of being paid into
the Exchequer, 0n1y479,4021. would have beenpaid,
into the exchequer had the provisions of the bill then
been law. How much of the million and upwards
levied and disbareed by departments of expenditure in
that year without due warrant, either from the trea-
sury or parliament, would have been paid into the
equer if the practice now to be introduced of
excluding the appropriations in aid from the gross
charges in the estamates had been then adopted, it will
not bosomy to say until we have all the estimates of
the present year before us ; but we feel convinced
that one-half of that sum would be rather above than
below the mark.

That the charges of collection and management
should be paid into the Exchequer se well u the
"other payments" is of tho utmost consequence; among
other reasons, because it would facilitate that more
equitable and efficient organisation of the water-side
service of the Customs (and similar reforms in other
departments of revenue) which we Reseed up in the
attention of our readers on Wednesday, the 14th lust
The numerous communications on this subject which

hays appeared in every number of our japer since
published, from officers of the Customs, wharfingers,
importing merchants, and others, sufficiently show
how urgently and imperatively the reform we advo-
cated is called for. Bat as this topic involves conside-
rations of equity to deserving individuals, and bears
upon the re-organisation of the public service in more
ways than that of mere economy, it will be expedient
to reserve the resumption of its discussion for future
articles.
