The heroine of the new novel just announced, under
the title of " Female Domination," is said to be a beautiful
and imperious fair one, who has lately attracted no small share
of public attention. It is to be hoped that the manner in
which the talented authoress of " Mothers and Daughters "
has treated her new subject, will have the effect of exhibiting
a moral lesson to the sex in general.

provision for Don Miguel.
The potato crop is almost certain to prove a total
failure this season in many parts of this country. On a number
of farms it has been found necessary to re-plant entire fields,
as the first sown seeds had become quite rotten in the drills.
The cause of this disease, and its cure, are involved in com-
plete mystery, and is a subject of such vast importance, in a
national point of view, that it merits the investigation of men
of the most scientific attainments, with the view of applying a
remedy.—Ayr Observer.
DUBLIN, JUNE 14.—The distress in Donegal
has almost reached the extreme point. The scanty stock of
provisions has been wholly consumed. In a very short time
all will be reduced to the same frightful level, and for two
months yet to come the entire population will be doomed to
undergo the unmitigated pains and horrors of famine. The
actual want which prevails among these poor people has made
them nearly desperate. Last week a small vessel laden with
potatoes was sent by Government to the harbour of Rutland,
and immediately on its approach the people crowded the deck
to obtain a share of the precious cargo. They had not
patience to wait until the men could weigh out and distribute
the potatoes. Fierce contentions broke out amongst the mul-
titude whilst the work was proceeding. It began at six
o'clock on Sunday morning, and continued without allowing
the sailors an hour to rest or take refreshment until eleven at
night, and all that remained of the cargo was served on the
following day, amid the same signs of anxiety and impatience.
This supply afforded great relief for the time, but it was
scarcely more than a week's provision.
