THE LABOURERS AND THE POTATO CROP.—Mr
Robert Baker, of Writtle, has issued an address to the
labourers and others who hold gardens or allotments, strongly
advising them not to plant more than half their ground
with potatoes, and to devote the other half to early
frame peas, to be harvested for winter use, to be fol-
lowed by cattle cabbage, thousand heads, savoys, or
turnips; or to cultivate it with parsnips, carrots, or
beans. Should the disease then carry off what has usually
formed so important a part of their winter store, they will
have other supplies to fall back upon ; andsh *?1 Providence
in its mercy this year turn the blight from their potato
grounds, they will be none the worse for lirving variety in
their stock of winter food. Mr. Baker not only gives advice,
but practical aid, by offerirg to supply the poor with cab-
bage seeds gratis, and peas at the cost price. We strongly
recommend this plan to the farmers and gentry in different
parts of the country, as the following it out in their own
neighbourhoods will avert the misery and distress which
may otherwise prerail around Omni.
DEATH or ADMIRAL COLLARD.—We regret to an •
nounce the decesse of the above Gallant Officer, which took place on
Wednesday last, at his seat, Teridirgton, Middlesex, at the advanced
age of seventy-six. The Gallatit Admiral has been for some time
past labouring under great depression of spirits, arising from the less
of his wife. He had also suffered from an attack of apoplexy, which
greatly affected his mind, reducing him to a State of occasional de-
spondency, which resulted in his committal of an act of self-destruc-
tion, while left alone for a short period, on Wednesday last.
