ILFRACOM BE.

The following petition has been extensively signed (up.

first (that we have seen) to set an example that deserves to
be extensively followed :

"TO THE HONOURABLE. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PAR-

LIAMENT ASSEMBLED.

" The petition of the undersigned inhabitants of the
borough and parish of Ilfracombe, Devon,
" Humbly showeth,
" That being deeply convinced of the importance to this
great empire of the army and navy, for its peace, order, and
protection; and that whatever lowers the self-esteem or alie-
nates the patriotism of the soldier or sailor, tends to weaken
our defence and peril our safety, your petitioners are
afflicted to learn that the barbarous practice of flogging is still
maintained as a mode of punishment.
" Your petitioners, moreover, being deeply convinced that
a mode of punishment so unmanly, savage, and unchristian,
so insulting to our common humanity, and so alien to our re-
ligion and our age, may exasperate and degrade, but never
amend the offenders, humbly beseech your Honourable
House to remove the Draconic stain from the British name.
" And your petitioners will ever pray," &c.—North Demo

CHELTENDAIVZ AND OXX'ORD.

The object of this Bill was to construct a railway from
Cheltenham, through Gloucestershire, to join the Oxford, and
Worcester, and 'Wolverhampton Railways.
There was a petition against from James Boodle, of Chelten-
ham, through whose property the line would pass, which
contained several allegations, some of which were abandoned.
There was an allegation that the sections were in-
accurate at the copeing of the Great Western bridge at
Cheltenham, which, as well as another allegation of inaccuracy,
the Committee considered • were not sufficiently specific, and,
therefore, that in those cases the standing orders had been
complied with.

THE POTATO DISEASE.

The following is a copy of the report of the Commissioners
appointed by the Government to inquire into the extent of
the disease in the potato crop in Ireland, extracts from which
were read by Sir Robert Peel, in his speech on the 22d ult.,
and which has been laid on the table of the House of Com-
nions-by Sir J. Graham, at the request of Mr. Newdegate :
"London, Nov. 15,1845.

" Sir,—With ref:rence to the conversation we had the
honour to hold with you to-day at the Home-office, and
your wish that our individual opinions as to the extent of the
potato disease should be com:nunicated in writing, we have
the honour to make the following statement :
" During our stay in Ireland, we carefully examined such
official papers as were transmitted to us from the Castle; we
consulted persona acquainted with the facts of the disease ;
we visited the district lying between Dublin and Drogheda,
and inspected various potato fields and stores in the counties
of Dublin, Louth, Meath, Westmeath, and part of Kildare.
Judging fr,:ni the evidence thus collected, and from what
we have seen of the progress of the disease in England, we
can come to no cotter conclusion than that one-half of the
potato crop of Ireland is either destroyed or remains in a
state unfit for the food of man. We, moreover, feel it our
duty to apprise you that we tear this to be a low estimate.
"It is, doubtless, true that in some places a much larger
proportion of the crop is apparently sale ; but, on the other
hand, there are districts where it is not too much to say that
the crop is lost. For example, we may mention a large field
at Sherries, where nut more than one potato in twenty was
found by us in a state which would admit of preservation ;
and anothea near Oldbridge, in which, from the want of skill
in the owner, all appeared to be perishing in ;the pits; and
we have proof that these are not rare examples.
" We would eyeu add, melancholy as the picture is, tbst in
all proability the late rainy weather has rendered the mis-
chief yet greater.

"(if the remaining half thus assumed to be capable of pre-
servation, there can be no doubt that the pi incipal part mar
be rqied upon as food fur the ensuing winter, provided the
methods of storing which we have indicated are followed.
But, considering the means, or rather want of means on the
part of the Irish peasant, the wetness of the climate, the
disputes between landlcrd and tenant, and perhaps the de-
spair or other feelings of the poor cultivators, we dare not
venture to hope that our plans, aitup!e as they are, will be
fully carried out; and in the meanwhile more of the crop
will disappear.
" It is also necessary to direct your attention to the quoin-
