A TREASONABLE DAHLIA.--The Lloyd of Vienna
states that a gardener has been punished at Warsaw f°:
having in his possession a dahlia, 'which, by a caprice °L
nature, was partly red and partly white, the Polish colours.
The commissary of police unfortunately cast his suspici°°
eyes on the flower, and immediately drew up a report t°
superior authority, asking that the gardener should be
punished for making a political demonstration I

The Union de l' Ouest says :—"A recent letter
from Orleans spoke of an interview which had just
taken place between M. Dupanloup and the Duke de For:
signy, but the person from whom we derived our inforMo-
tion knew nothing of the subject of their conversation. We
are now informed that the Bishop of Orleans asked tb°
Duke to intercede with the Emperor in favour of a request
several times presented already by the Journal des Ville, ei
Carnyagnes, to obtain leave to be published daily instead °f
three times a week. M. de Persigny is said to have grate
ciously promised his aid, and the journal in question, the
observations of which relative to the treaty of the 101
September do not appear to us to differ sensibly from tho.o°
of the France, is likely to obtain the realisation a
ts
wishes."
THE CORN CROP IN THE UNITED STATES.--411

corn the crop in the New England States is fair,
both in quantity and quality, being best in Massachusetts
and poorest in Maine. Tne Western States have nearly 01'
suffered slightly, but none so badly as New York, where tho
crop will fall between one half and two thirds below the
average in quantity, with the quality poor. In Canada and
Nova Scotia the quantity and quality range within one
eighth of an average. On the whole the corn crop, whiell
is one of the chief staples in our country, will afford us more
than enough for home consumption, with a liberal margro
for exportation. The deficiency will not enhance pric, o t°
any considerable extent, and tho prospects, as coreParca
with the anticipations a few months since, are eminently
satisfactory.- -New Ivrk AYtin.
