Is s a note appended to the official catalogue the In-
spector-General remarks—" It is represented, &c., that
the vresent low prices in some instances are attributable
to the anxiety of the farmers to dispose of their potatoes
before they become diseased ; others refer low prices to
disease already commenced." In either case the ulti-
Intste as well as the present effect must be most injurious.
If immediate and active measures be not employed we
dread to reflect upon the futurity in store for Ireland.

APPALLING APFAIR.—On Friday last, as Some per-
seas were engaged in clearing a barn near East Paul, in the parish of
Clfivelstone, {they found the body of a woman which had been
eh ockingly mutilated by rats. The face and breast were disfigured
In A most shocking manner. It appears that the deceased person
w. 13 the granddaughter of one Philip Elliott, formerly of Chivelstone,
wl szo died at Brixham some months ago. The poor creature was in
con Sequence deprived of her only earthly friend, and was returning
to be't own place, when from fatigue she was unable to proceed
fwethey than the barn, near which she was met by a person named
Cr imp. The deceased was at the time carrying her shoes, being unof
-
able to w*.alk with them any longer. A post mortem examination
the body Wok place, when it was found that deceased died from
ha nation tuition an.: inanition, there being nothing of aliment found in the
stc mach. Report states that she had made application for relief to a
eel Main parish, but was refused. Inquiry will be made, and if this is
Sot and to be the case, the parties shall not escape the punishment duo

SIR JOHN COPE'S FOX-HOUNDS.—A SERIES OF
" BLANks."—The Marquis of Downshire, the Earl of Rosslyn,
Major-General which took planes Wemyss, and a very numerous field (upwards of
W two
hundred) were at the meet on Saturday, at
field Park, Park, the seat of Sir John Walsh, the Member for the county of
Radnor. The covers of Sir John were first drawn,
butield unfortunately
were next
blank. Miss Ferand's covers at Ascot-place, Winkf,
then taken to the
Park, in
drawn, with no better success. The pack was
~covers at Swinley, which were drawn also blank. Rupley
poi:ccup of hs Royal highness Prince Albert was the next
t, buta the same result followed. The hounds were then taken
across the Forest to Cream's Camp, a distance of four miles, drawing
all the covers in the line of route; but nothing in the shape of a fox
was either seen or heard of. Tha pack was then taken back to the
kennel, and the field dispersed, afte
otrhave been under an ycircum-
one of the blankest days this
season ; indeed a worse could n
stances.
CAUTION AS TO POTATO STOElNG.—Professor
Henslow communicates two curious instances of spontaneous
ignition baying nearly taken place in consequence of fibrous
riots being used to store potatoes. In one case a labourer at Ritchin,
observing that some potatoes intended for seed were sprouting, stored
two bushels in perfectly dry bean-dust, the refuse after thrashing
and removing the stalks ; but the moisture from the potatoes so
saturated the bean-dust, that it heated and became charred ; some of
the potatoes were half roasted, and had it remained unnoticed a few
days longer the cottage would probably have been burnt down. In
the other case, :fir. Joseph Rand, of Handleigh, in October last, laid
up a quantity of potatoes in a small chamber of his malt-house, care-
fully packed in layers with dry "malt dust," which falls through the
kiln tiles. Above a fortnight ago the Excise officers, in making their
inspection, lighted upon this heap, and happening to stir it up, found
the interior in a state approaching to ignition, the potato& par-
boiled, or half baked, and the malt-dust perfectly charred. Imme-
diate steps were taken to remove the dust the potatoes being chiefly
rotten, were thrown away, and the malt was laid on another of
the same material, to be carried upon the land ; but in a short time
that no time was lost in removing it
it heated again so powerfully,
from the premises, the walls and floor of which had been visibly
affected by the heat.
On Saturday morning Miss Tunstall, the vocalist,
formerly of Vauxhall-gardens, where she was a great favourite for
many years, expired very suddenly at her residence in Wellington-
street, Newington-causeway.
