LONDON, THURSDAY, OUf. 6, 1864.

The condition of Ireland is a matter of such very
great importance to this country, that any details
or statistics concerning it must be received with
interest. Rumour may mislead, and political feel-
ing may either exaggerate or undervalue, the
national prosperity of the people, bat the facts and
figures, which tell ns plainly what is the increase
in the number of acres under cultivation, what is
the number of the live stock, and what is the rate
of emigration from the differ, nt provinces, give us
some substantial groundwork for forming a fair
opinion as to the real state of the case. Accord-
ingly, the Agricultural Statistics yearly furnished
by Mr DoNNELLY, the Registrar-General, and laid
le: fora the Houses of Parliament, are very accept-
able ; and as they are now published in a thin and
concise pamphlet,* anyone who feels an interest
in the matter can consult them without trouble.
The abstract, which Mr DONNELLY gives in his
opening pages, justifies ui, he considers, in the
hope that a return to more prosperous seasons is
at hand. In some respects this hope is well
founded, although a c'osc.r examination of the
figures leaves much to be dftit-ed. o,ic of the most
favaarabl,3 signs is the increase in the total area
reader crops in this year over last, which amounts
to 10,493 acres, and it is curious to notice that the
principal increase was in the wheat crops, while a
decided diminution in oats has taken place in every
county. Whether the decrease in horses has any-
thing to do with this is not stated, but the number
of those animals, which has fluctuated between
550,000 and 630,000, during the years between
1339 and 1861, shows this year a decrease of over
18,000, while the difference between 1863 and
