having been cancelled by order of the authori-
ties, the editor of the France Algerienre has
announced that he shall sus pend the. ,publica-
tion of that journal until the Government shall
have granted the liberty of the press in
Algeria, or laid down some fixed regulations for
its conduct. He announces his intention of
visiting Paris for the purpose of urging zealously,
and by all legal means, the prompt execution of one
of those measures. A meeting of about fifty of the
principal colonists of Algiers has been held, at which
it was resolved to send an address to the KING, and
a petition to the Chambers, praying that the colony
may be placed under the protection of the laws as
they exist in France.

A grand dinner was given on Tuesday to Mr.
CoBDEN by the Socie!e. des Economistes of Paris.
We have given a full report of the proceedings on
this truly important occasion in another column. This
is a great step towards bringing about a truly national,
and therefore lasting, entente cordiale. The entente
cordiale between Governments depending for its
existence solely upon men's inclinations, must be
necessarily preCarious, but an entente cordiale be-
tween nations depending upon a permanent
union of their material interests, must be ne-
cessarily lasting, and such a permanent entente
cordiale will be brought about when free trade shall
be universally adopted. Then, and not till•then, will
nations cease to be the playthings of diplomatists. -

A lIARD CASE UNDER THE GAME LAWS.—A case
illustrative of the oppressive nature of the game laws was
brought before the magietrates on Monday lay!, at the Ware
riagtoe petty sessions. An Irishman, named Felix Slz.vin.
was charged by the gamekeeper of Mr. J. W. Patten, with
having offered fr s :le a young cock pheasant. It appeared
that the prisoner was standing with the bird 'in his hand at
the stall of a dealer io game, and the gamekeeper. eneeleg De'
and seeing this, gave hitii into custedee The. poor fellow
gave a rather confused account of the manner hi which he
obtained the bird, which was alive, and produced in Court ;
t0,..s ..- g in kiew-
sey, and as he went along he saw this bird lying on the
road hurt, and unable to get away. Naturally enough, he
picked it up, seine into the town, and seeing a bird hang-
ing in the poulterer's shop, went and asked the price of
it ; on being told, he produced his bird, and asked what
it was worth. Some convereetion then took place be-
tween the prisoner and the man in the shop—the prin-
cipal being absent—which plainly showed that the pri-
soner did not know what sort of a bird he had got, when
at this period the gamekeeper came up. and he was secured.
The poulterer's man appeared as a witness, and admitted be
thought, when he first saw the bird, that it was a corncrake.
l'he tact of offering it for sale was not satisfactorily made
out. The gamekeeper said that he had recently turned about
fifty-six young pheeeatits loose into the preserves, near to the
place where the prisoner alleged he had found this one. He had
bred the birds at home, and he had no doubt this one had
strayed out. The prisoner, in defence, stated that he found
the bird as already releted, and that he did not know what it
was. He hoped th• it honours would be merciful, as he was a
poor man, and wanted to get home. Mr. Beaumont urged
that the charge was not proved, but the magistrates thought
differently, and itacted a penalty of Ids., with 10s. 6d. costs,
or, in default of payment, six weeks' imprisonment.
Ulti-
mately the money was paid, and the prisoner liberated.
THE CROPS.—The wneat harvest may now be said to
be concluded in this neighbourhood, although here and there
portions of the crop are remaining out in consequence of
the fickle weather wlti.l has prevailed during the week.
It is feared that some damage has been done to the un-
finished ricks by the heavy storms which have occasionally
descended. .Notwithstanding these drawbacks, however, it
is believed there will be an average crop of wheat, and the
quality is excellent. Hops have improved amazingly fast,
fast., and the duty is rising. With regard to potatoes, the news-
papers from all parts of the country, including Scotland and
Ireland, agree in the universality of the disease. Growers
have accordingly been so anxious to sell, that a great de-
cline in price has taken place. We observe it stated that at
Reddttch twenty acres of garden ground were last spring
allotted by Colonel Clive; nineteen-twentieths have been
planted with potatoes.; the blight has attacked the whole,
and the resnit will be the loss of the poor men's labour, the
rent, and cost of seed. Similar accounts have reached us
from other parts of the county ; and it now becomes a serious
question what substitute shall he provided to supply the
wants of the poor in the ford:a:ming season. Mr. Wil-
liams, of Pitmaston, has proposed that the cotta-
'gets' gardens and allotment grounds should be planted
with Swede turnips during the yet. remaining period of the
growing season, and suggests that the farmers should direct
their labourers, who are now engaged in hoeing, to remove
the superfluous plants of this root carefully, so that they may
be available for the cottager's garden. It may be very wed
to plant the gardens with turnips, if the poor people have
any pigs or cattle that will eat them, but as a substitute for
the potato they will be wholly insufficient. It is bad enough
for the poor to subsist upon potatoes, and it is a considerable
descent to be condemned to Swede turnips for their daily
dinner. There is but one lower step, and that would be to
the fate of Nebuchadmzzar.— Worcestershire Chronicle.
THE POTATO DISEASE.—As any fact connected with
this fearful disease is of importance, the following ex-
periment, tried by a gentleman in the neighbourhood, may
lead-to useful results. He planted some seedling potatoes,
and covered them wiAi glasses ; they seemed to thrive
remarkably well, and, to all appearances, were totally devoid
of the disease. He then took the glasses off some of the
plants, and exposed them to the influence of the atmosphere.
In a short time, the plants which had been left so uncovered,
showed undoubted symptoms of the presence of the
disease, while the others were perfectly good. A few
leaves of the plants covered by the glasses were left ex-
posed, these leaves also withered away, the parts covered
remaining sound and healthy. This would lead to the
supposition that atmospheric influence is solely the cause
of this diseaseLso destructive, and we fear so universally
prevalent. Another gentleman informed us of a field .of
potatoes that looked in all respects healthy when he visited
it one night, but the next morning were withered, and
seemed as if a blast had taken them all. Another instance
we have heard of is that a gentleman, who has a field; of
potatoes, in which the leaves of the plants in a line had all
become withered, and were dying away just as if a ball of
fire had passed through the field in a direct line. These
real cause of the disease. We may add that hardly a crop
its ravages.—lramp-
facts may be of service in coming to a conclusion as to the

START EARLY.—The Lord Mayor announces several
grand dinners this week. We hope his Lordship has given
intimation to every one of his guests that the principal
thoroughfares to the City are blocked up, or else he will be
sure to be disturbed in the middle of the night by some un-
happy foreigner who has just c.one to dinner. His Lordship
should put at the bottom of his invitations, "Dinner at 12
for 6, precisely."—Punch.

THE CHINESE MEDAL.—Our readers have already
perceived by the Gazette announcement that the medals to the land
and sea forces which took part In the Chinese war, are being dis-
tributed : the last notice bore reference to particular Vessels of war.
The same pattern medallion was struck for the army as for the navy.
It 111 about the size of a crown piece, perhaps a littlo heavier, and is
composed of solid silver. On one side is a representation of her
Majesty, similarly wrought as upon the current coin of the empire,
and the reverse displays various national and naval and military
emblems, &e., including a cannon, anchor, &c. &c. These are ap-
propriately represented beneath the spreading branches of the palm.
The whole Is surmounted by the words Armis exeo aeire patent (I quit
arms for the enjoyment of peace), and finished by the words, China,
1812. The clasp connecting the ribband is of German silver. The
ril.band, it is understod, will he crimson, fringed with yellow and
blue. The medal is from the design of Mr. Wylde, of her Majesty's
Mira; where it was executed, and somewhat resembles those Jutted
