DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—The elections being now
terminated, and the excitement connected with them
having greatly abated, the military and police are re-
turning to their former stations. In Clare, Limerick,
and one or two other counties, however, where the
rival parties are still in a state of exasperation, the
arrangements for the preservation of the peace are
still continued.

THE POTATO CROP.—Very unpleasant accounts
have been received from some parts of the country as
to the spread of the potato blight. The intelligence
on this subject is very contradictory, as in former
yerrs. The accounts generally describe the crop as
still free from disease, and the quality of the potatoes
as excellent. There can be no doubt, however, that
the crop is seriously affected in some quarters, al-
though, perhaps, not to
" the extent represented. A
1 now gone through
letter from Trim
says—
eats have ,
and I fear the greater
the entire county of /d
portion of the potato crop is blighted." The reports
from other counties state that there never was a finer
or sounder crop in any previous year. The Newry
Telegraph has the following gratifying account of the
harvest prospects in the county of Armagh :......
" The heavy atmosphere is considered by experienced
farmers as somewhat prejudicial to the potato crop. As
yet indications of disease have been very slight in the
large supplies of potatoes sent to Armagh market.
Very few tubers, indeed, were in any way affected. On
the contrary there is a very marked improvement in the
potato crop this year, as contrasted with the same escu-
lent of last year. The potatoes sold in the market at so
low a price as Scl. and 4d. per stone ace dry and floury.
The cereal and green crops in the county Armagh will
prove even more than an average, with good harvest
weather."
In the county of Cork reaping has already corn.
menced. The Cork Constitution of yesterday says—
" A field of black Tartary oats, belonging to Captain
was reaped on Friday, an in-
Atkins, J.P., Waterparki
dication of an early harvest. ;11r. Uvedule, residing
near Monks-town, reaped two acres of bore barley,
which he has thrashed for market. Yesterday some flue
white oats, grown by Mr. Pearl, of Coale Abbey, were
disposed of in the Corn Exchange, the first of the har-
vest, at 9s. 2d. per barrel."
DEPARTURE or TIIE FLEET FROM COTE.—The Cork
Reporter of yesterday says:—" The fleet left Queens
tewn to-day, and it is generally stated thatthe
fur order
for its departure bus been issued by way of revenge
the rout of the Derbyites in the city and countyattbe
late elections. If this be so, it is as paltry and miserable
an exhibition of spite as could well be conceived, and
