not in his power to give a positive answer to the question of
the Hon. Member.

THE POTATO DISEASE.
Captain OSBORNE said that since the speech which the
Right Hon. Baronet delivered a few nights ago, certain statements
had been published with regard to the potato blight, to which he
begged to call the attention of the Right Hon. Baronet.
Those statements had been published on Thursday, and re-
lated to the proceedings of the Horticultural Society, a meet-
ing of which had been held.on Tuaday. Dr. Lindley, it
appeared, had at that meeting exhibited some specimens of
new potatoes, which had many symptoms of disease. The re-
sult was, that it might be expected that the crop of the
eeming harvest would be exceedingly deficient. He wished
to know whether the Right Hon. Baronet had received any
communication or information on the subject ?
Sir R. PEEL said that when he spoke on Monday night, he
stated that we had great reason to apprehend that the danger
resulting from the failure of the potato crop would not be re-
ducing during the forthcoming autumn. But when he spoke
on Monday night he had had no direct communication with
or. Lindley ; he spoke from the communications which he
had received of a general nature from various scientific gen-
tlemen, who said that they apprehended that the next
potato season would be marked by a great failure.
He feared there was every reason to apprehend considerable
danger from using the diseased seed. It was said that some
new potatoes could not be detected as diseased by the closest
microscopic inspection. 'The plant was supposed to be sound,
but from receat information received, he had every reason to
believe that the disease was quite apparent ; and it rested with
the Government to give timely notice of this fact to the country
at large.

THE YEAR BOOK OF FACTS. 1846.

I
In an age so remarkable and prolific in discoveries
and irsvention, there existed a necessity for some annual
digest; of those discoveries and those inventions which
bad p timed successfully through the ordeal of the closest
.xami nation. This little volume is the very precise
thing requisite ; and its editor, tutored in the rather
difficult olhca ho had to fill 11 some years' experience,
has core, Riled the " Book of I acts" for IEI6 with more
than use 2al sagacity. Formerly the curious among
readers were feasted with the idle marvels of black
magic, r act chiromancy, and diablerie, and astrology,
and dem analogy, and the like superstitions phantasies ;
now, ho, vever, they are treated in a manner singularly
different.. Prodigies in natural philosophy and the in-
scrutabl m ysteries of science are unfolded to them in a
guise V ie :most startling, and yet the most seductive ;
and in ;,his way the wcaders of mere fact are infinitely
more r jetonilshing than the vagaries of fancy. Philosophy

STATE OF TUADIL—The cotton hosiery trade in nearly
all the principal branches, whether wrought or cut, keeps
still slowly retrogading, and employment scarce. The
Ticket Act has become, in the opinion of both manufacturers
and workmen, a dead letter. The silk glove trade has felt
the approach of spring, and in some quarters there is a want
of hands,. The bobbin net trade, on the contrary, though
we are nearly (in w hat was formerly) the busy month of
March, is, if anything, worse and more stagnant than ever.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES

(YESTERDAY.)

Sub-Committee, No. 1.
BOSTON, NEWARK AND SHEFFIELD

---•
Mr. Ellicombe appeared for the promoters.
The witnesses to prove the deposit of the plans, sections,
and books of reference, having been examined,
Mr. Burke appeared on the petition of the owners of land
on the line.

The first allegation was that the parish of Averham was
omitted from the book of reference deposited with the clerk
of the peace and at the Private Bill-otfice.
Mr. ELLxcoltnE called a witness, who stated that Stathorp,
which was the township of the parish of Averham, was in
the books of reference, but that the line would only go
through the township.
The Committee decided that the standing orders in this
instance, had not been complied with.
The next allegation was that the plans and sections were
not duly deposited with the clerks of the peace far the several
districts through which the line is to run.
Mr. BURKE called ➢lr. Gibbs, the engineer to the line.
Mr. BURKE —ls there a branch from Hocking to Spalding?
Witness—There is.

Mr. BCEKIi 1S there a section to show that branch?
Witness—There is not.
Mr. 13unKE—Yon stated, when first examined by Mr.
Ellicombe, that the plans and sections were duplicates of each
liter, but hers is a complete section entirely omitted.
The CIIAIRMAN—You most distinctly stated, when the
plans were put in at the commencement of the present in-
quiry, that the plans and sections were duplicates of each
ether.

Witness—l stated that the plans and sections, as drawn
by me, were duplicates of each other; but since then, I un-
derstand, some alteration has been made in the powers of
the Bill, which must account for the omission.
The CHAIRMAN—This must be explained, for at present
there is no proof as to the plans.
Mr. ELLICOMBR called the assistant-engineer, who said
that the plans and sections were altered subsequently to Mr.
Gibbs having seen them—the section No. 1 omitted, that of
No. 2 substituted, which took the branch in.
Mr. BURKE would deny this on the face of the Bill; he
would prove that the standing orders in this most import-
ant instance were not complied with.
It being now half-past three o'clock, the Committee said
they would adjourn to twelve o'clock on Tuesday.

POST-OFFICE NOTICE.— NEW REGULATION AS TO
NEwsrArEus.—ln consequence of the great delay which has
frequently taken place in the delivery of newspapers in the
London district, an important notice has been issued by order
of the Postmaster-General. The delay has been occasioned
by several important towns and places adjacent being brought
within the limits of the London district, namely, Romtind,
Kingston, Croydon, Barnet, Waltham Cross, &c., &c.; but
newspapers being frequently put in at the general depart-
ment, have hitherto been transferred to the London district,
causing much delay. The order now issued is, that in the
evening sorting of letters, &c., for the country bags, all news-
papers directed for either of the above towns or places near,
shall be made up in bags for the night mail, instead of
being sent over to the London district. Persons sending
papers during the day should be careful which box they put
them into.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FEB. 20.—The arrivals
of all grain are moderate this week. There is a good attendance of
millers at to-day's market, but there is still a disinclination to enter
into stock, and a very limited business is transacted in line 1,, lieuts,
at about last week's prices, and common descriptions are positively
unsaleable. Barley of heavy quality sells on fully as good terms ; no
inquiry for inferior samples. Beans as before. Oat* and shelling
each rather lower. Malt in demand, without alteration in value.
