THE POTATO DISEASE

We understand a disease has, within these few days,
made its appearance amongst the early potatoes in the
neighbourhood of Aberdeen, much more formidable than
last year. This is the case, more particularly on the
south side of the city, where scarcely a field is to be seen
which is not more or less affected. The disease appears
to fix on the stem about half way up, and in the course
of a few hours the whole plant becomes blackened and
decomposed in the same way as if it had been in a
fermented state for days. On lifting the plant, the
potatoes all present a yellowish mattery appearance at
the end farthest from the stem ; and on cutting them
through, the lairs are seen in circles outwards from a
dull, blackish star in the centre. On cutting through
the,potatoe there is a toughnes presented, as if it w ere
clay. A friend with whom we conversed on the subject,
stated that he had just left a gardener in a field with all
hands busy in pulling up the diseased stems, and gather-
ing them in heaps and covering them over with earth,
in the endeavour to arrest the infection, as he conceived
diseased plants were injuring the adjoining healthy ones.
—.North of Scotland Gazette.
LISKEARAL—The prospects of the potato growers in
the neighourhood of Lisiteard are gloomy in the ex-
treme. The disease is making fearful progress, and
there is every reason to expect that the calamity will be
equal to, or worse, than that of last year, for most of
the seed of the present crop was corrupt. All the early
sorts are affected, and we cannot flatter ourselves that
the winter potatoes will be in abetter condition when they
arrive at the blossoming period of their existence. Some
people have had recourse to the experiment of cutting
off the tops; but decapitation seems a strange mode of
preserving life. Although the disease is at first indicated
by a decomposition of the leaves, it is quite evident that
the malady originates at the root ; for a more propitious
I season, as regards the influence of the atmosphere on
vegetation, it thought, has been seldom experienced:
the luxuriant appearance of all other foliage, and the
flourishing condition of the vegetable kingdom in general
afford ample proof of it.—Plymouth Journal.
We are sorry to be informed tact in portions of the
King's County the new potatoes are infected with the
disease which proved so destructive to the last year's
, crop.—Dublin Pilot.

'THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENIN"G, JULY 20, 1840:

Tl:e jury, after deliberating for a few minute, returned a
verdict of guilty, but recommended the prisoner to the mercy
of the Court.

The prisoner, when called on, said he considered the clauses
in the deed of sepration so stringent that he looked on the
deed as equivalent to a divorce.
M. Justice MAULE sail, thlt the prisoner was a surgeon
by profession, and therefore must have known that persons
could not be divorced merely by mutual consent. The crime
he had committed was a very grave one, and might be
severely punished, but as the jury had recommended the
prisoner to mercy, and as this case was not of the wi rst
description of its class, the Court would deal leniently with
him. His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to imprisonment
for one year.

No case of any public interest occurred in the Nisi Prius
Court.

Jacob Melry, who, as our readers will recollect, was the
accomplice of the two men Biddle and Sheriff, now under
sentence of death in Oxford, and the principal witness
was himself tried on Thursday evening, at
pstealing, and having been convicted was
transportationhee for fourteen years.

RICRMOND RAILWAY COMPANY,

(THIS DAY.)
A special general meeting of the shareholders in this line
took place this day, at the London Tavern, in order to elicit
the opinion of the shareholders upon a provisional agreement
for the sale of the line to the South-Western Company.
The Secretary having read the advertisement convening
the meeting,
Mr. CHADWICK, Chairman of the Richmond Company,
took the chair. The agreement was to the effect, that the
Richmond proprietors should sell the line, and
receive South-Western stock at nominal par, viz.,
501., the South-Western baying really only paid 411.
The meeting was adjourned till the day of the general
meeting, several proprietors thinking the terms offered by
the South-Western Company were not sufficient, and that
even the basis of the agreement was not properly taken.
The meeting then separated, a vote of thanks having been
passed to the Chairman and the directors.

CORN WALL.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.
Mr. Piawkshaw was examined by Mr.'Sergeant )
would be morally impossible to construct a railway through a
country like Cornwall without being obliged to have recourse to steep
gradients and acute curves. The curves had been improved since
last year, as well as the gradients. There were worse gradients on
the Manchester and Leeds line, namely, I in 43 and 44.
Cross-examined by Mr. ROWE—Had never seen so undulating a
isecticri as that on the line before them for such a length. The curves
and gradients on the Manchester and Leeds were of course an ex-
ception, as was the case always in steep gradients. Was not aware
of the gradients on the Lar caster and Carlisle Railway.
Re-examined by Mr. AUSTIN—WouId have a perfectly level rail-
way if he could.; but it was impossible, from his knowledge of the
country to have anything of that nature on this line. Bad gradients
could not be avoided in this country without an enormous expense.
1 in 60 milht be worked safely, and with ease, at the rate of 40 miles
an hour.

Mr. Aherne said he was ready to call Mr. Vignoles, Mr. Cubitt,
and other engineers on this point.
The Citataxasi said, that having produced two eminent engineers,
it was unnecessary to adduce any more evidence of that nature to
show that the line could be worked with perfect safety to
the public.

The assents, &c., having been handed in,.
Mr. AUSTIN stated that the case for the Bill had closed. A
discussion was raised as to whether evidence as to land value
should be given, which ended in Mr. Laidman being put in the
bok, for the purpose of proving the value of the same on the Bod-
min branch.

(ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.)

As soon as conveyarices be pricured, those un-
fortunate sufferers who could net be attended to by the
medical gentlemen at Stratford and their assistants, and
who hurnatnly and promptly hurri, d to the frightful
scene, W. ere plaeed in them, and conveyed, as quickly as
the nature of their injuries would permit. to the London
Hospital. On the vehicles arriving. the sufferers were
removed to the receiving-room, when Mr. Luke, one of
the principal surgeons, Mr. Chrichit, an assistant-sur-
geon, and 11r. Wardsworth, the house•surgeon of the
institution, rcridcred every possible assistance that hu-
manity could sugLtest.
The number received amounted to fourteen, but of
these the irjuries of eight were not of a very serious
chamfer, and after they had Oeen dressed, the parties
were enabled to leave the hospital. The remaining six
cases, we regret to say. are of a very s,ri.,us description,
and three or four of them, in particular, are of a very
dangerous description.

When breughi to the hospital, the majority of the in-
jured parties presented an extraordinary appearance.
The olothem of many of them were rent and cut in an
extraordinary trimmer, and to all who saw them their
eittlre from inst Ant destrtv!tion was considered as mi-
rapalottg.
