Dumas, TIIESDAIC:-Littllorecent annual cattle-show
in Galway, it was arranged that the exhibition of the
Royal Agricultural Society for 1853 should be held in
Killarney. This was effected through the intervention
of Mr. Pierce Mahony and Mr. Dargan, the eminent rail-
way contractor, the latter of whom volunteered to give
the necessary indemnity, on his own account, for 5001.
The landed proprietors of Kerry will, however, gladly
subscribe that amount amongst them, whilst gratefully
declining the liberal offer of Mr. Dargan. It is stated
that the Queen and Royal Family contemplate a visit to
this country during the Great Industrial Exhibition of
1853 in Dablin, for which the preparations are already
in a forward state. It is considered probable that her
Majesty and her illustrious Consort will avail themselves
of the opportunity of proceeding from Dublin to Killar-
ney by railway, end the agricultural show will take place
in that town about the period mentioned for the Royal
visit. The railway communication with Killarney is
likely to be completed long before that time, and it is
hoped that her Majesty will visit the far-famed scenery
of " the Lakes."

THE HARVEST,—In all parts of this country the busi-
ness of the harvest is now in active operation; and so
great is the demand for labourers, that wages have risen
considerably beyond the rates in previous years. In the
county of Dublin reapers are obtaining half-a-crown a
day. The reports of the cereal crops aro most satisfac-
tory, and there is the fairest prospect of an unusually
abundant harvest. There are renewed assurances of the
stoppage of the potato blight. Although there is a con-
siderable loss in that crop, it is calculated that the resi-
due will be nearly adequate to the ordinary supply of
the markets, in most districts. Potatoes are again ad-
vancing ia price in Dublin.
IMPRISONMENT OF MR. DELMEGE.—The following

letter from Mr. llefinege, J.P., now in the gaol of Ennis,
appears in the Dublin Evening Mail. That journal
stn.tes that an application for the admission of Mr. Del-
ruege cud the eight soldiers to bail will be made in the
Court of Queen's Bench Chamber on Wednesday next:—
" TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING NAIL
" County Gaol, Ennis, Aug. 22, 1852.
" Sir,—l shall feel much obliged if you insert this
letter in your next post.
" The information which has been supplied you by the
editor of the
Weekly Telegraph, and which you have
published in the Mail of the 20th, as far as I am con-
cerned, is incorrect. Tho correspondent of the Telegraph
states that his (Mr. Delmege's) house was searched
last night (Wednesday), and the constabulary are
searching for him in all directions. It is said the un-
fortunate gentleman has left for the Continent, and will
not surrender himself until the assizes.' The facts are
—My house, was not searched on Wednesday or any
other day. I did not leave my house at all.
" My father apprised me of the verdict at about five
o'clock on Wednesday evening, and
my house on Friday morning at ten o'l was arrested at
clock.
" Many of my friends earnestly urged me to go away,
and, if I was so inclined, I had ample time to do so, but
I was determined to await the result.
" However wanton and unjust the verdict against me
may have been, I determined not to evade the law, or
shrink from the position which circumstances and my
duty have placed me in.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant, &c.,
" JOHN C. DELMEGE."

GREENWICH PARK.—We have frequently called
attention to the shameful state of Greenwich Park. About
a month since notice was taken of the falling of a dead
branch from one of the trees, and one especially was then
mentioned, which was in a most dangerous state ; no attention
was paid to that, nor will there be, until a similar fatal result
to that of last year takes place, when a child lost its life.
A few days since Mr. Moore, the churchwarden of Green-
wich, while in the park with his children, had moved from
under one but a few seconds, when a dead bough fell on the
spot he had just left. At the time there was no wind, so the
state of the tree must have been evident. Any person
walking round may perceive hundreds of such cases, that
would not be tolerated in a private gentleman's estate ; yet
here, in a public place,_ visited daily by thousands, this is $1-

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
EGHAM RACES.
The card yecterday, although it promised the usuat
quantum of sport, offered little to invite speculation or to
create any general interest, and in consequence attracted
only a moderato attendance• the result, in fact, must
have greatly disappointed those who have so zealously
exerted themselve to improve the character of the meet-
ing and to make it more popular with the public than
it has proved of late years. The weather was dull in
the early part of the afternoon, and wet and misty front
three o'clock until after the Surrey and Middlesex
