IRELAND.
THE HARVEST.

DUBLIN, DIONDAT.—There is no variation in the
tone of the last agricultural reports. The reaping of
the harvest is fast drawing to a close, even in the
most remote and backward districts. The yield of the
cereal and green crops generally is said to be every-
where beycnd an average, and there no longer seems
to be any doubt that the loss by the potatoe blight
will not exceed that of last year. The weather con-
tinu.s changeable, but, upon the whole, not more un-
seasonable than might be expected. On Saturday
Dublin was again visited by a terrible storm of
thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of
rain, which, happily, was but of short dnration, and
appears to have been confined to the city and the im-
mediately adjacent suburbs. Persons residing five
miles from the metropolis heard nothing of the storm.
DECREASE OF PAUPERISM.
The cheering prospect of a harvest of more than
ordinary abundance is already producing salutary
effects, by the thinning of the workhouses, even in
those unions which had suffered most during the last
five years of scarcity. It appears from toe Kerry_
papers that nearly 200 paupers were lately discbargeod,
from the Tralee workhouses, while the !umber of
admissions on last board day amounted onlyhta r e

ELOPEMENT.
A correspondent of the Daily Express furnishes
the following bit of scandal. According to a Lime-
rick paper the gay Lothario h en officer in one of the
Highland regiments. The 71st is at present sta-
tioned in Kilkenny.—
" The leading topic of conversation here (Kilkenny)
is the elopement of the young and interesting 'wife of
one of our county commoners with a gallant son of
Mars. Tho juvenile couple have not yet been united
three years, and were married immediately on the
young gentleman coming of age, and attaining an se-
cession
to a large fortune. The fair fugitive is the
third daughter of a Noble Marquis. The party were
last seen on board an American packet-ship at Li •-
vorpool."

and Hightlyer, 21, Captain H. J. Matecu, are ordered to

MANNINO THE NAVY.—We_understund that the tate
and experienced officer, Commodore Superintendent
Seymour, of Devonport Dcckyatd, has had berCire him
during the past week several of the most eilicieni.of the
extra-riggers employed in the dockyard, and has put to
them singly a series of questions in the presence of the
master attendant or his assistant.. The men were com-
pletely astonished at it, not knowing the drift of the
catechising, but no doubt the report Will tend to assist
the committee now sitting at the Admiralty, in coming
to their conclusions on the various topics now under their
consideration.

to alongside her hulk at Portsmouth. She has com-
menced rigging; will be completed by the dockyard on

wheel-house, left for Wick to meet the Tartarus, to sail
thence for Zetland.
