erbeer's opera bartered for an odious act of injustice-, and that the
treaty had been sealed with the miseries of two dis-
tinguished patriots. We allude to the question which
is said to have arisen at these final deliberations, whether
the insurgent chieftains DAS ANTAS and SA DA
BANDEIRA should or should not be excluded from the
promised amnesty. Had those eminent, and in
no respect culpable, personages been visited by
that ignoble mark of vengeance, we should
have been disposed to rejoice in the event of their
possible liberation and triumph in the place of their
expatriation—supposing they had acted with a
promptitude and boldness like that evinced by their
compatriot Bomrtm, now described as the Governor
of Angola. In alluding yesterday evening to the
circumstance of this moot-question about the two
great leaders of the Portuguese people, Lord PALMERs-
TON declared, amidst the acclamations of the House
of Commons, " There is no doubt that both Si DA
BANDEIRA and the Count DAS ANTAS are entitled to
the full benefit of the amnesty." It was a remark of
the Emperor NAPOLEON, that whenever you see the
exercise of a rigorous cruelty among the victors on
a battle-field, be sure they had been very nearly
beaten themselves—be sure they are still in awe of
the very men whom accident has enabled them to
vanquish. Those words of wisdom would have ap-
plied with singular felicity to the Royalist party of Por-
tugal in the event of any such an act of inhumanity
and bad faith as was threatened during the delibera-
tions at Granido.
Besides it would have been an extravagant bar-
barity to have excluded DAs ANTAS and SA DA
BANDEIRA from the benefits of the general amnesty
when preparations were actually making for bring-
ing back the unfortunate prisoners of Torres
Vedras. It would have been tantamount to the
brutal jest of the Court minion, that the shores of
Africa are only salubrious to the nobler enemies of

The debate which took place on Tuesday in the
House of Commons, on the motion of Lord GEORGE
BENTINCK, for an address to her MAJESTY, praying
" that she might be graciously pleased to take such
steps as might be deemed advisable to secure for the
British holders of unpaid Spanish bonds redress from
the Government of Spain," was indeed remarkable,
and must prove in the highest degree satisfactory, not
only to the Spanish bondholders, but to all the Eng-
lish creditors of repudiating or defaulting states.
The Noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs spoke out
boldly and manfully. He recognised to the fullest
extent the principle advocated by the Noble Lord the
Member for Lynn, " that, according to the law of
nations, we should have a fair and full right to enforce
obligations of this kind with the same rigour as
those of a different character." He impressively
warned the various defaulters of the consequences in
which they might be involved lsy a continued per-
severance in their disgraceful and dishonest policy.
Every reasonable indulgence should be afforded to
those states who acknowledge the full measure of
their responsibilities, and who would gladly de-
fray every just liability, and satisfy the fair
claims of their creditors, but for various unforeseen
circumstances that have interposed obstacles in the
way of the discharge of their undisputed obligations,
which for the time being were practically insur- 1
mountable. It is not to the honest but impoverished
Governments, who are willing but unable to pay
their debts, that the observations of the Noble Secre-
tary are especially directed, but pre-eminently to
thnsA IA. hn with amnia mpens. enntinne to mis.
the payment of the interest on their respective
debts, to what they are pleased to term " the public
service," and offer only frivolous and insufficient
excuses to their national creditors, in place of the
payment to which in equity they are entitled ; and
also to others, who by a rigid adherence to a mani-
festly erroneous policy, and a ridiculous mismanage-
ment of the national resources, wilfully sacrifice the
resources of the state, and render them insufficient for
those purposes which could be provided for if a wiser
course were adopted. The Ministers of such states
will do well maturely and attentively to consider the
significant language of the Noble Lord. He says—

I take this opportunity of reminding those Govern-
ments who may be debtors to the British people that the
time may come when this House can no longer sit pa-
tiently under the wrongs and injustice inflicted upon the
subjects of this country, that the time may come when
the British nation may no longer see with the same
tranquillity 150,000,0001. due to English subjects, the
interest and principal of which are alike unpaid; and
that if more proper efforts adequately to fulfil their en-
gagements are not made, the Government of this country,
whoever may be the men who compose it, may be com-
pelled by public opinion, aye, and by the votes of
Parliament, to deviate from the hitherto estab-
lished practice, and to insist upon the payment
of those debts. Sir, that we have the means
to do so I do not for one moment dis-
pute. It is not that we are afraid of any of these
states, or of one or all of them put together, that we
have abstained from taking the steps which my Noble
Friend has urged upon us. I trust that we shall always
have the means of obtaining justice from any country
un the fsce of the earth. and also of compelling them to
discharge their just obligations to us ; and, therefore,
let no foreign country that has done a wrong to British
subjects deceive itself by the false impression that the
British nation and the British Parliament will f;)r ever
remain acquiescent and passive under the wrong ; or,
that whenever they call upon the British Government to
interfere and enforce the rights of the people of England,
the Government will not have ample means and power
to obtain for them a full measure of justice."
The energy anddecision of that Minister are too well
known, too universally admitted, to suffer them to
suppose it possible that this was a mere
brutum fulmen, an idle threat. They may be
well assured that if the occasion should arise (and
that must wholly depend upon themselves, and the
line of conduct they may pursue), the interference
will be an effectual one, promptly and vigorously
executed. We shall trust, however, that the hint
may be taken in good time. That they may, of their
own accord, with a good grace, and before they are
compelled to do so by the force of British arms, de-
termine on doing full justice, not only to their Bri-
tish, but to all their creditors of every nation; and
that they may promptly take such steps as will indi-
cate to the world their firm and zealous determination
henceforward to pursue a more honourable policy.

Another portion of this singularly able address of
the Foreign Secretary conveys an instructive lesson,
not merely to the Spanish nation, to which especially
it was directed, but to all the nations of the earth, of
the evils incident to, and the abuses and mischiefs
that result from, what has been foolishly termed
" protection to native industry," and the adoption of
the various prohibitions and restrictions by which it is
merroneouslyah,tained

of that population, who, if the labour, the energy,
and ability applied to such demoralising
pursuits were
applied to industrial occupations, would add mate-
rially to the national wealth. The native industry
protected is only that of the native contrabandist, and
of the capitalists who conduct large establishments I
for the promotion of smuggling on a gigantic scale, i
and for which, in the words of the Noble Lord,

the contraband goods over the mountain one day to carry
off the unoffending passenger up the mountain the ri,•xt
day, in order to get possession of his property. That is
the state and 2rinciple of commerce under which the
Spanish Government voluntarily sacrifice a large annual
income more than sufficient to pay all their foreign cre-
ditors, and which income might be received without in-
juring any Spanish interest whatever but that which I
have now described."

The same argument has repeatedly been urged
in our own Legislature, in enforcing the propriety
and expediency of reducing the duties on many
articles of merchandise, which are of so exorbitant a
character as to give encouragement to the smuggler
in his illicit career. We trust that when the fitting
season may arrive—when the mode of levying and
raising the national revenue is discussed in the
British Legislature—the principles that have so ably
been expounded by the Noble Lord, and the evils he
has so graphically delineated, may not be forgotten,
but that a speedy alteration in the scale of the import
duties may effectually destroy the system in this
country, and banish it for ever, at least from the
British dominions.

It is said that the Austrian Government, in imita-
tion of that of France, is about to send a Consul to
Calcutta, and that the company of the Austrian
Lloyds has nominated agents in the three presidencies
of Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, for the steam-
vessels which, in the month of August next, will
begin to make the direct service from Alexandria to
Trieste.

Intelligence has been received from Oporto, dated
June 30, announcing that the Junta had surrendered
on that day, and that the city was occupied by the
Spanish troops, under the command of General
CONCHA.

Madrid papers of the 30th ult. have arrived.

The Infante Dun FRANCISCO DE PAULA and his
daughter, the Infanta JOSEFA, quitted the Palace on
the 30th, and returned to their own residence on the
Retiro. In the course of a week they are to leave
the capital for the waters of Cestona or San Sebas-
tian. The removal of Don FRANCISCO from the
Palace is openly exulted over by the hangers-on at
the French Embassy, and is attributed to French in-
terference. The plan of the intriguers of the Tuileries
appears to be to isolate the QUEEN, so as to compel her
to abdicate if possible. The Clamor Publico com-
ments in very indignant terms on the circular which
the Ministers have addressed to the liberal Bishops
appointed since the death of FERDINAND, calling on
them to resign. This circular is considered by the
Liberals as an act of grovelling servility to Rome.
Suspicions having been entertained that General
PRIM was organizing a Progressista movement at
Cadiz, he has been ordered to quit that city.

many humiliations, prepares the way for perils of a far
more direct character. No doubt, wiirn it is recollected
that scarcely 150 years back some bands of shepherds—a
mere handful of men—undertook the e,mquest of this vast
empire, and after having succeeded in getting their au-
thority accepted by so many millions ofinen, added in the
west new territories tot at Country, already so immense,
it is impossible not to feel a cer,am admit uti.n for the
gcnius and political talents of the Mantchoux. Unfor-
tunately, i is also true that their :tie h s always been
exceedingly contested in the south of the empire—t:lat
it was never admitted by certain populations of the
Yunnan--that it was never much more than nominal in
the Fokien—that except in the large cities it has always
been exceedingly uncertain in the province of Canton—
and that in all these districts it has been incessantly
opposed by local insurrections, by armed bands, and
secret societies plotting the expulsion of the foreign dy-
na.ty. But if this was the case when that Government
had in its favour the prestige of force and success, what
has it not to fear aftersomany disasters and humiliations ?
It mnst also be declared wherever the Europeans pene-
trate they discover all around only symptoms of
decadency and approaching dissolution, and in a
tour which we (says the writer in the 'Abair) made
through about one-half of the Chinese coast, from
the mouth of Yang-tmeekiang to that of the Choo-
kiang, from Ningspo to Canton, we beheld
nothing but insurgent populations—but smuggling and
piracy carried to an extraordinary extent. But if the
authority of the Government should fall to pieces—if
anarchy becomes definitively mistress of the country—if
foreigners behold themselves delivered up without gua-
rantee to the cruel passions of a stupid populace—will
they carry their disinterestedness and their respect for
Chinese nationality to the extent of purely and simply
withdrawing? Or, even supposing that :heir ambition
does not impel them to it, is it not to be supposed that
the foreign powers, forced to provide for the sacety of
their subjects, will at last establish on these ruins a
regular government? Recent facts, indeed, show that
England has begun to enter on this course. lii conse-
quence of innumerable acts of piracy, and of robberies
committed by armed bands even on the territory
of Hong. Kong, where the very habitation of
the Governor was attacked twice, Sir J. Davis
has jus' given orders to the English vessels
stationed in the river of Canton to visit all the Chinese
junks and search them minutely; to arrest and destroy
all whose fitting-out causes their destination to be sus-
pected, and to hand over the crews to the tribunals of
Hong-Kong. Nay more, the Chinese Government, in
its weakness, favours this tendency, notwithstanding its
being so dangerous for itself: Thus we learn from the
journals brought by last mail, the tao-tai, the first magis-
trate of the army in the province of Fokien, not knowing
how to get rid of the pirates who were committing their
depredations even in the port of the town, at last prayed
the captain of the English corvette, the Scout, to act in
the matter for the Chinese Government. The deference
of the English captain had already, at the last departure,
led to the arrest and destruction of several junks.
There are still many things to be said on this important
subject, but we look to time to justify our predictions."

The Paris Bourse wore an appearance of firmness and

nificence of the weather, and the high state of the tem-

" The harvesting of rye has commenced in the Bas
Limousin and Berry; that of barley is about to com-
mence. This is the end of the food crisis in the centre
of France. In the south an idea may be already formed
of the harvest; the wheat crops will yield as much as a
good ordinary year, and the grain will be of good quality.
In consequence the decline in prices gains ground every
day. The last quotations of wheat are from 24f. to 30t.
at Bordeaux, 33f. at Bayonne, and 24f. at Carcassone.
At Marseilles grain is being amassed in the stores,
and only finds rare purchasers. In the north the crops
promise abundant products. Speculation seems dis-
posed to operate in potatoes; it makes considerable de-
mand of that article for Great Britain, with the hope of
realising fabulous profits. We warn these adventurous
speculators that their calculations repose on a very
contestable hypothesis. The rumours spread by certain
English journals of the general return of the potato
malady are very exaggerated. Some very limited loca-
lities seem to be, in tact, partially affected by it, but it is
not even proved that the injury done to the plant is to
be assimilated to the special malady of 1845 and 1846 ;
it is generally attributed to the action of a little insect
of the aphis kind. Besides the Mark-lane Express,
much better informed than the political papers with
regard to all that concerns agriculture, affirms that
the vegetation of the potato develops itself with
admirable vigour in all parts of the United King-
dom. We can give the same assurance for the different
parts of the Continent, and especially for,. France.
of ~aris have convinced us that their exists thus far no
reasonable motive to suppose a deficiency possible in the
potato crop."

and Finance,—We have decreed, and do further decree,

The accounts from the French provinces more
than confirm these cheering statements of La Presse.
There is nothing whatever in these accounts to con-
firm the rumours which have been industriously cir-
culated of the re-appearance of the potato disease.
On the contrary, finer potatoes were never seen than
those now brought to market in France, as the pro-
duce of the early planting.
The Constitutionnel has a long article on the
Ministerial scandals which have recently been
brought to light, and in the vituperation of which the
provincial journals are almost unanimous. The
article, which is attributed to M. THIERS, declares
that it is by the press that the Ministry will fall.
Certain it is that the Ministry at present has only
the Journal des Debats to defend it, and even that
journal is no out-and•out supporter of the Ministry.
"In Paris," says the Constitutionnel, " one paper only,
the Journal des Debats, defends the Ministry. The Mi-
nisters, atter the satin nalia of publicity which they had
themselves organized, and after the ruin of their fa-
vourite organ, returned with dissatisfaction to cast them.
selves into the arms of their old and sole defender, but
at the same time meditating further inconstancy. It is,
in fact, well known that the Cabinet is urging its friends
to found some new Conservative journal, which would
entertain no vain scruples, which would particularly
praise their faults, find pleasure in acts which ought to
be condemned, brave public opinion, boldly become the
aggressor, devote itself without delicacy, and, if neces-
sary, force the Journal des Debats to write favourably,
notwithstanding its indocility and ill humour. But whilst
they are expecting the new Epoque, the Ministers are
defended only by a single journal. But that journal,
properly understood, demonstrates by the involuntary
concessions it makes to public opinion the profound dif-
ference which exists between the Government and the
French nation. There are few great questions on which
that journal has not hinted some fundamental objection to
the resolutions adopted by the Ministry. It is true, it
disapproves timidity—it contradicts itself from day to
day, and frequently in the same article—it sometimes
assumes the air of a bravo, and raises a shout in favour
of Government ; but it is easy to comprehend that it
would praise a better policy, and that it has but little
taste for what is doing and tor what it is made to say. If
the subject be the foreign policy of the country, it is like
a partisan of the English alliance—it boasts of it on
principle, and even at the risk of stigmatising the ex-
travagance and the culpable calculations on which the
Spanish marriages were accomplished—it is aware of
the sentiment which prevails throughout France as to
the oppressors of Poland—it attacks the Emperor of
Russia as frequently as it can, and even the murderers
of Gallicia ; its language is consequently feeble when
it expresses the gratitude of the Ministers towards the
capitalists of St. I'etersburgh, or when it approves the
leaning of our Government towards the Cabinet of
Vienna, the sacrifice of the nationality of Cracow, of
the liberty of Switzerland, of the popularity of the
Pope, of the independence of the Christians of the East,
of the pride of Greece, and the absolute policy of
Austria. If the question relates to our domestic govern-
ment, it does not accord in opinion with the Ministers
as to the amount of power to be accorded to the clergy,
either on the question of education or on the principle of
our system of Customs duties. It sometimes emanci-
pates itself so far as to ridicule the nobility with which
the new dynasty wishes to surround itself, awl the court
clergy whom it wishes to prepare at St. Denis. Neither
does it dare to justify the derangement of our finances.
In Paris, therefore, the Ministers possess but one sup-
porter, who resembles as much as it can an officious
advocate. In the departments the press is divided into
two camps. The Ministerial journals maintain silence,
or are oblged to perform their service by supporting
some revolting propositions. The Opposition journals
of all shades and colours express, with an unanimity and

LEOPOLD.
AtITWERP, JULY s.—ln the first six months of 1846,
1,040 ships arrived at Antwerp, the tonnage of which
was 144,130 tons; in the first six months of this year we
had 878 ships, with a tonnage of 143,431 tons. Thus
there was 162 ships less, but only 699 tuns less; there-
fore the ships which have arrived this year, have been
superior in tonnage to those of 1846.
Numbers of ships continue daily to arrive laden with
corn, and every facility is given them to unload their
cargoes, so that as little time as possible may be lost.

EEASES.
TORETHE EDITOR YAR
OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In the proceedings of the self-styled " Irish
Council" of Tuesday last,
.I find a Mr. Bourke, a D.L. in
this county (Meath), stating that " it the landlords and
poverty
thefarmers of Ireland employed a sufficiency of people to
improve
tyr
former insisted en

their tenants employing more people, they would, in a
great degree, enrich both the tenantry and themselves."
lie is perfectly. right, but was too much surrounded

diminished; the
andp
by the Meath graziers to grapple with the cause of in-
sufficient employment, or denounce the restrictive leases
which palsy exertion, and pauperize the very tract of
country which in this council he represented.
Irish bravery is a fine expression, but Irish cowardice
is never heard of, and yet it is the want of moral
courage (not physical) which hood winks the Adminis-
tration, and deceives theEngli,sh nation in reference to
the source of Ireland's ills. The aristocratic patriot is
perfectly safe in abuse, merited or the reverse, of Go-
vernment, but shrinks from the exposition of local
abuses and domestic oppression.
The Irish party struck me, from the commencement,
as parallel with the ritliculas mus ; I could augur
nothing effective or well-poised from the exclusion of
discussion at its formation meeting, or the preposterous
admission that " assent to the resolutions proposed was
not to be considered as binding the menners to their
support;" or the basis of union so ingenuously put for-
ward by Mr. Monsell last Tuesday being " an agreement
not to differ!"
Amongst the signatures to the lengthy chain of reso-
lutions in the first instance presented to the Premier
by their deputation, my eye was caught by that of an
extensive proprietor, who owns a thousand acres of
grass land in this locality, and
ties up his tenants by
penal clauses to preserve ninety out of each hundred
unbroken! while the secretary to the relief committee
here applied as vainly for a contribution, as I did
•
annually, previous to the application of the poor. law to
Ireland, when forming a summer fund for the sale of
meat and potatoes at half price to the unemployed at
the dead season.
This course is too common in the midland counties,
prevents a sufficiency of labour existing for the hands,
and thus not only makes the enterprising and unfettered
farmer and the benevolent free leasing landlord suffer,
by the necessity of additional poor-rates consequent on
insufficient employment, but also plants in poverty the
seeds of indolence and disorder.
I do not think it has been mentioned by the fi fends
of Ireland, in and out of Parliament, how essential to
its interests a curb on this practice has become.
I am, 80-.

of the Bosjesmans with their presence'

amused by the appearance of the celebrated Nigger

blackened face ascended the platform,
tion. At the termination of the song he commenced
one of his lively melodies, the Bosjesmans standing in
Barlow, with
elegant positions, indicating great surprise and satisfac-
a peculiar noise, like the bursting of a steam vessel ; the
bush people started in affright, and the young one Mr. Barlow made
im-
mediately seized hii bow and arrow with an evident in-
, ,
tention to act on the defensive. The nigger meledists
then commenced the Railroad Ovet ture, and not only
excited the utter astonishment of the Bush people,
but also the satisfaction of a numerous auditory. Lords

Seymour, Lady Payne, Colonel King, and many others

ACCIDENT TO TIM
SEA KING.--Yesterday morn-
ing, about 2 A.M.,: owin-
g to the very dense fog which
prevailed, the steamer Sea King went ashore on the
smallest of the Copeland Islands, on her passage from
Liverpool to this port. No blame whatever is attribut-
able to Captain Gowan, who was on deck at the time.
The lead was going
constantl , and the vessel at slow
speed, but the fog was so intens that no precaution was
of avail, as a proof of which we may state, that even
after the ship struck, the land was invisible, though but
ye
fifteen or twenty yards distant. The passengers were
all safely disembarked in the course of the morning, and
came up to town by various conveyances.—. Liverpool I

RN ING, JULY 8,
310.NEY and COMZergire I A EMWS-

(From The Sun of Last Night.)

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm
at the previous rates. Sales 7,000 bales, of which 2,000
were American on speculation. American sorts sold at
6-141. to 71d., Egyptian, 84-1. to 9d., Surat 4 d. to 51d.,
and Sea Lland at I3d. to IV. per lb. In Railway
Shales not much was (14,ing but pril es were fl.tm.
Aecou..t. from Hobart Town, of March L 3, state that
new wheat was worth 4s. 9d. to ss. per bushel, and fine
flour 121. per ton.
A larger number of sales are in progress in the Co-
lonial markets, but the fall in the prices of various arti-
cles has been so marked recently, that there is but little
spi..,t to do business except for immediate wants. All
holders of sugar, and rice especially, must be severe
osers.

Tee Lords Commissioners of the Treasury have inti-
mated mat the surplus amount of income over exp.•ndi-
ture available in the current quarter is 694,9121. 16.. Ild.,
and that, consequently, there will be 670,0001. invested
in Deficiency Bills, and the rest in stock. We are glad
to find Sir C. Wood pursuing the wise policy of the late
Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is manifestly in the
highest degree absurd to redeem stuck on which the Go-
vernment payt but 3 or 31- per cent., while it has inte-
rest to liquidate on Exchequer-bills at a far higher
rate, to say nothing of the importance of being inde.
pendent of the Bank of England.
The Funds have been rather heavy again. Consols
are 88 to 89 for transfer, and 88i to 89. The state of
the account influences the market still, but there is not
much speculation. The New Three-and a-Quarter per
Cents. have been 91 to 91k. Bank Stock is at 1961.
Exchequer-bills have been at 9s. to 13s. premium.

The Foreign Investments have been better, and the
speeches in Parliament respecting the Spanish debt
have caused some improvement in the quotations of the
bonds. The Five per Cents. have been 214 to and
the Three per Cents. 33 to 331. Portuguese Four per
Cents. are 314. Mexican Bonds are 191 to j. Russian
Stock is at 1 1 li; and Dutch Four per Cents. 90.
The Share market is dull, but North Statfords have
improved upon the highly satisfactory report made to
the proprietors at the meeting. South Yorkshire and
Goole are in some request.

PROSPECTS OF THE HARVEST.—The weather has
again become most propitious, and never did England
appear more rich and beautiful than at this time. The
crops of every kind and everywhere are most luxuriant,
and we speak not as mere road-side spectators ; for we
have gone with practical mem and extensive farmers
among the crops, and have heard and marked their opi-
nions of them ; and they all agree that there never was
a time when the harvest was more abundant. On Tues-
day we saw three pieces of wheat at Cooksbridge, near
Lewes, belonging to Mr. Waters. The first was a piece
of Talavera wheat, which was out in full ear; the straw
strong and abundant; the ears as level as a bowling-
green, and every plant healthy and vigorous. Another
and much larger field of red wheat was also very
fine; the stems five feet high, and the ears level,
full, well formed, and in bloom; but the third, and
one of the finest pieces we ever saw, was a very large
field not reckoned very good land, and which has
been only brought into a good state of cultivation
within a year or two by under draining and proper
dressing. Here the stems were nearly six feet high;
the ears very full, fine, and in full bloom, and with fine
weather it will yield a most abundant return. Mr.
F:llinann, at Landport, has als.) a capital field of barley,
and another of wheat, lying together opposite his hou,e.
But go in what direction ycu may, the crops almost
universally look well, except in some very poor land, or
where the land has been too highly dressed: for land
may be over as well as under manured. The beans,
peas, oats (with some exceptions), and barleys, look
as well as the wheats, and nowhere have we seen au
indication of the disease in the potatoes.—Brighton
Herald.
CAUTION TO PARTIES RESIDING AT THE COAST,---

Friday morning, about day-break, a gentleman occupy-
ing a bed-room on the ground floor of a house in the
West Bay, Gourock, was awakened by a slight rustling
noise in the apartment, such as might be produced by a
mouse or a rat playing with a piece of paper. After
listening for a few minutes, the gentleman got up, and
having drank a glass of water, wa, returning to bed, when
he observed the window blind, which was drawn down,
wave as if moved by a current of air. This drew his
attention to the tact that the window was opened,
though it had been shut, but not snibbed down, when he
went to bed. On farther examination he found that his
pocket-book, which he had left on the toilet table, bad
been rifled of its contents, and was lying outside on the
window sill, and that some silver coin, together with a
small gold seal, had also been abstracted from the table;
the robbery having seemingly been effected by opening
the window and using a short hooked stick which was
found lying on the ground beneath the window.—Glaa-
gow Argus.

- THE- POTATO CROP.—We are sorry to state that
there no longer exists a doubt that as tar as regards the
early potatoes, the same mysterious disease which
committed such havoc the two last 3 ears has again
made its appearance in this district (Kirkby Ire-
leth). We have not; heard of any well authenti-
cated case of its having yet attacked the more re-
cently planted potatoes, though, of course, great
apprehensions are reasonably entertained respecting
them. This is the dad( side of the picture. The
bright one is, that the weather is most propitious,
and there is every pronability of an early and abundant
harvest. Should this fair prospect be, by the blessing
of Providence, happily realised, the failure of the potato
crop, should it occur, will not be productive of the same
melancholy consequences as it was last year. By reason
of the high price of provisions, the labouring portion of
the population of Kirkby Ireleth, many of whom receive
but scanty wages, have had for scme months back to
endure much suffering, and it is only justice to say that
they have done so with a patience and fortitude that do
them credit.—Lancaster Guardian.
BARBAROUS OUTRAGE. -- BITING OFF A MAN'S
NOSE.—Yesterday, at the police-court, a young man
named John Warren Tusely, a seaman on board the
ship Columbia, charged George Douglas, the mate of that
vessel, with committing a violent assault on him on
Monday evening last. It appeared that the complainant
was engaged along with his shipmates, in handing down
the foreyard, when the mate, fancying the work was not
done with expedition, called upon them to exert them-
selves, when an altercation ensued, in which it was al-
leged complainant drew a knife against the defendant. A
struggle took place between them on deck, acd whilst the
parties were so engaged, the prisoner forced his fingers
into the eye of the complainant and bit off a portion of
his nasal organ. The prisoner was committed for trial.
