THE POTATO DISEASE.

In order to arrive at some conclusion respecting
the extent of the potato disease the following au-
thentic accounts are given, as extracted from the
various local journals.
THURINGIA, AUG. 14.—The potatoes are going on
extremely well; the disease is very slight here and
there, but does not act on the root. The furrows are
very fruitful, there being from twenty to thirty pota-
toes on one stalk.
POHLA.—The disease has appeared in the potatoes
here ; but it is insufficient to excite any alarm, being
chiefly confined to the leaf.
ZIOURAU, Auo. 15.—Those persons were mistaken
who imagined that the potato disease had disappeared
all at once ; it has appeared here and there at isolated
spots, and is less intense than formerly.
EGER IN ULM, AUG. 14.—We know as little of the
potato disease this year as last ; and the harvest will
, be more abundant than we can remember.

STETTIN, AUG. 16.—1 n regard to the potato crops
accounts considerably vary, and it is conjectured
that the crops will be very different in different
localities. Accounts from some of the provinces are

The Austrian Lloyd contains letters from several
parts, in which allusion is made to the state of the
plant. In Carstadt the disease has appeared in some
places.
HUNGARY.—The potatoes are going on extremely
well, and corn will soon be very cheap. In Lemberg
and Jaroslon, also, there are almost imperceptible
traces.
RAAB, AUG. 10.— Not the slightest sign of the
potato disease has hitherto appeared. The Suabian
Mercury of the 18th says—" That the potato disease
has again shown itself cannot be disputed, but till
now very slightly ; considerable pieces of land are
entirely free from the disease, and even those plants
which are said to have been attacked are eatable:'—

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—YI e are called upon, from
a very high quarter to state, in justification of the
late promotion of Commander Clifford to the rank of
captain, that he has been seventeen years in the navy,
and, with the exception of about three years, has been
in continued employ. He commanded the Wolverine,
16, on the coast of Borneo, and was engaged when in
command of the boats with the pirates in Maluda
Bay, in August last year. He commanded the %Vol
vetine on the China station, from September, 1844,
to October, 1846, when he was appointed to the
Ringdove, 16, on the . same station (without coming
;home), in which latter command he still remains. In
the gallant exploit of the action with the Maluda
pirates the only officer killed was Mr. Leonard Gib-
bard, mate of the Wolverine, who was in her boat in
the act of cutting the boom asunder on which the
pirates principally relied, when he was shot through
the heart. For this service, we are told, all the com-
manders engaged in the affair, except Commander
Clifford, were promoted, and that shortly afterwards
Commander Giffard, of the Vixen, was promoted for
a similar affair, still leaving Commander Clifford the
only unrewarded commander. Captain Clifford's
commissions bear date, lieutenant, May, 1838 ; com-
mander, March, 1842 ; captain, August, 1547. He
is the son of Captain Sir Augustus W. J. Clifford,
Bart., R.N., usher of the black rod.
Commander William Morris (6), 1846, is appointed
to command the new 18-gun sloop Arab, at Chatham.
This gallant officer has been for some time studying
at the Royal Naval College ; he was midshipman of
the Genoa, at Navarino, and has the honour of being
related to that distinguished soldier, General Sir
Harry Smith.
Mr. William John Hay, of Portsmouth, is ap •
pointed, by the Lords of the Admiralty, Chemical
Assistant (to the Master Shipwright) and Lecturer
to the Dockyard, where he bill be at present sta-
tioned. Mr. Hay's salary will commence, at 3001.
per annum, from the Ist of July last. This officer
is the inventor of a successful composition for the
prevention of the growth or adhesion of rubbish to
the bottom, of iron ships; a superior fighting lantern
for ships' decks ; a galvanic communication, whereby
directions mey be given from the paddle-boxes of
steamers to the engine• rooms for the conduct of the
ship—a very simple and applicable contrivance; and
numerous other useful appliances to the naval service.
The Waterwitch, 3, Commander T. F. Birch, was
at St. aelena. on the Ist of July, a letter of which
date says—" Since January we have been cruising to
the north of Cabenda, and have been to Fernando Po,
and in the Bight, where we fell in with the C Immo-
dore, who inspected us. We remained in the Tight
two days, and were or.lered back to the south coast,
first visiting the river Bonny, to settle some dispute.
between the Ki,g and the Liverpool palm oil traders.
Since then we have been cruising on our old station.
We left the coast on the Bth of June, and arrived
here on the 16th, to remain fourteen clear days, which
have expired this day. In the middle of January we
took a smail brig, empty, off Cape Lopez, and on our
passage here we took a Brazilian brig with 510
slaves, which we sent to Sierra Leone, and we hope
to take another on our way back. A good many have
got off lately with full cargoes."
The Fisgerd, 42, Captain Dunbar, arrived at Rio
on the 18th of July from Valparaiso, which she left
on the 20th of May with a large freight on merchants'
account for England.
The Colliegwood, 80, Captain Smart, flag of Rear-
, Admiral Sir G. Seymour, Commander-in-Chief in the
Pacific, was then at Callao, and the squadron was thus
distributed:—
The Grampus, 50, Captain H. B. Martin (with the
Admiral on board), was at Panama.
The Constance, 50, Captain Sir B. Walker, was at
) Mazatlan.
The Juno, 26, Captain Blake, was at Valparaiso,
) which she left on the 30th of May for Callao.

The Modeste 18, Captain Watkins, was on her pas-

DISSOLUTION OF THE MARYLE-
BONE REFORM. ASSOCIATION.
On Saturday a special and very numerous meeting
of the electors of the b gough of Marylebone, mem
bers of the borough of Marvlebone United Reform
and Registration Associa:ion,look place at the West-
morland-rooms, George-street, Manchester-square,
for the purpose of •considering the financial state of
the association, and other matters connected with its
operation.
Mr. M'Evily, of Great Portland-street, was unani-
mously called to the chair.
Mr. BROTHERTON, the secretary, having read the
state of the finances of the association, which showed
that after pl3ing
all liabilities there was a balance of
151. in the treasurer's hands,
Mr. H. C. WILSON said the subject which must now
necessarily force itself upon the attention of the meet.
ing was, whether it was desirable longer to continue
the association in existence.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BECTON expressed his conviction that great
mischief would result to the Liberal cause if the
association was abolished, and he therefore moved the
appointment of a committee to revise the laws.
Mr. BEDFORD seconded the motion.
Mr. DOUGLAS said he rose for the purpose of
moving, as an amenimnent, " That the association
be now dissolved, and that the funds in hand be ap-
propriated to the purposes of the ensuing registra-
tion. Ile considered with Wilson that the
association was so constituted they could not
work t• get r for on common obieet, and auothe,
point was that it Way riot supported by the electors
at large as it ought to be. They had been before the
borough holding meetings in every district continu-
ally for the last two years, and what was the result ?
