" Thus we find, first, that the deficiency in the
number of pigs exported in the last year, owing to
the loss of the potato crop, was 58,714, which, taken
at their average value in the previous year, would
give a loss, in that item, of 176,1421. We find,
however, against this loss, an increase of exports,
within the last year, of 11,482 horned cattle, and
67,260 sheep ; or, about four times the number of
each within the past year, compared with the pre-
vious one, and with an increase in amount at the
same rate of 68,8921. in the value of horned cattle, and
84,0751. in that of sheep, making, according to the
above table—

Decrease
"Now, we believe there are few would suppose
that, in money value, the difference for the two years
would be so small. The facts, however, are as we
have shown. While the loss of the potato crop causes
a deficiency in the returns from the sale of pigs for
one year of 176,142/. the extended cultivation of
green crops and feeding of cattle produces an increase
within the same period of 172,967 Z., thus nearly
making up the loss. These facts must command at-
tention, illustrating, as they do, the immense value of
the green-crop system, and its, applicability to the
agriculture of this country. W e have reason to be-
lieve that they have been already brought under the
notice of Members cf the Government."
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

The Conciliation Hall Repeal party held their usual
weekly meeting to-day.
Upon the motion of the Hon. Member for Kilkenny,
Mr. Manalcn LaYNE took the chair, and briefly
addressed the meeting.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL handed in 12/. from the county
of Kildare, and in doing so took occasion to notice the
late murder which took place in the county Tippe-
rary. He said that in denouncing the atrocious
cowardly midnight assassin, he also felt obliged to
denounce those landlords whose crimes were equally
deserving of public reprobation. In conclusion he
called on the Government to interfere at once, and
adjust the question between landlord and tenant, an-
nouncing his intention of attending the tenant-right
meeting about to be held at Kilmarthomas, which, he
said, would be a quiet meeting, as the requisition call-
ing it was signed by 60 priests. Mr. O'Connell also
postponed his motion for the expulsion of his cousin,
Mr. Charles O'Connell, from the association, before he
sat down, observing that he had heard that his relative
would be able to explain his conduct by the following
Monday.
Some remittances having been acknowledged,
Mr. O'CONNELL again rose, and congratulated the
meeing on the glorious new s from Italy. He said
that his Holiness had with a small band overthrown a
large body of anted soldiers, because his cause was
just, and a just cause always succeeded.—(Hear.)
The Learned Gentleman having announced the in-
tention of the Roman Catholic Bishops to meet in
Dublin on the 19th of October, to call on the Go-
vernment to make immediate provision to feed the
lower orders of the people during the coming winter,
concluded by calling upon all classes of Repealers to
join in a subscription to liquidate 4001. damages
awarded ^gainst the Belfast Vindicator, an organ of
Conciliation Hall, at the last assizes.
Mr. SCULLY, M.P., next addressed the association.
lie expressed his sorrow at having heard of Mr. Roe's
murder, and said that the only thing to prevent a
repetition of such scenes would be to establish tenant
right throughout the county, give long leases, and
let at low rents.—(Hear, hear.) It was idle, in his
(Mr. Scully's) mind, to say that the indiscriminate
use of arms was the cause of all the murders ; such
was rot the fact, for the worst murders ever com-
mitted were committed with sticks and stones.—
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. RAY having brought up a report showing the
decline of trade in Dublin since the union.
Mr. O'CONNELL again came forward, and having
called on the people to attend to the registrations,
proceeded to refer to the state of the country. He
10 stated that their beloved Queen had ordered a general
collection for the relief of Irish distress, yet the felon
Times was loud in its calls on the people of England
to give no more charity, in order that they might be
allowed to starve.—(Hear, hear )
The rent at half-past four o'clock was about 50/.

CITARING-CROSS nosPiTar...—Yesterday afternoon
a m-eting of the governors and committee of the above
hospital was held in the board-room of the institution,
in West Strand, Charing. cross, for the transaction of
general business. The report for the past quarter
stated that the number of in-patients had been 302, out-
patients 3,564 ; in addition to which, 371 cases of acci-
dents and cases of emergency had been received. It
was to be regretted that, notwithstanding the utmost
care in the expenditure, the resources are too limited
• for the full exercise of its useful operations, they stand-
ing greatly in need of augmentation. During the past
year, 1,052 in-patients, and 8,709 outpatients had been
relieved, at a cost of 2,4251. 15s.
11;,1.,
which make
total number of persons of near 130,00 who have a-
taken of the benefits of the institution since itscpnrorn-
niencement in 1818. Of the patients admitted last year,
1,522 received recommendatory letters from governors
and subscribers, and 8,239 were freely admitted without
any recommendation whatever.
