THE IMPOLICY OF DISCONTINU-

ING THE GROWTH OF POTATOES.

The f illowing letter has been addressed to the editor
of Bell's Weekly Messenger :
Sir,—l promised, as early as convenient, to send you
the result of the experiment of leaving the tops on the
late sorts of potatoes. All that has been written and
said about cutting off the tops to check the disease and
insure sound bulbs is absurd aid fallacious. Most as-
suredly it checks ti eir gro►vth, and that is air it does do.
Those who did it this season will not repeat it another.
The potatoes on which I allowed the tops to remain were
sounder, larger, and better boilers than those from which
I removed them. It is now quite certain that the newest
varieties are the best. The old Rushford blue, that has
been so long grown in this part of the country, has de-
generated very much ind.'ed, and cannot again be planted
with any degree of certainty. The red, a fashionable
potato in the west of England, failed altobether with
us, and many of the delicate varieties are gone. The
white potatoes, of which there are several excellent
varieties, and Phillips's blues, stand better than any
other. The latter, in appearance, resemble the Wor-
nester silk, and partake very much of the nature of the
Rusliford, only that they present a smoother surface,
and are of a deeper colour. I am convinced that the
more lime and the less manure that is applied to the land
for potatoes the better. The proprietors of allotment
ground will do wisely to present their tenants with a
little lime next season, for nothing is more suitable to the
potato. The idea of discontinuing the growth of this
valuable esculent, because it has failed the last two
years, is too preposterous to be entertained for a mo-
ment. We might just as well discontinue the growth of
turnips, swedes, and even cucumbers, for they have been
similarly affected, although not to the extent of the for.
mer. None hut the hardier sorts of potatoes must be
planted, and that much earlier than is usually done, say
in March instead of the latter end of April or beginning
of May, as is too frequently the case. Those potatoes
that were planted early this year are a fair crop and
but little injured. Even supposing the frosts should
check the early planted, which is seldom the case, de-
pend upon it, more are injured by late planting from
droueht than by the frosts of April. It is said that
about eighty years ago the potatoes were affected in the
same way they have been the last two years, but that
after the third year they suffered no more. Let us hope
that it may be so again, for, whatever substitute you
may introduce on the working man's table, rest assured
that nothing will please and satisfy him so well as a few
smoking hot mealy potatoes. It is all very well for
those that have abundance of other things to recommend
peas, swedes, and mangeld wurtzel, but it is not so easy
to change the taste of a nation long accustomed to one
kind of food. Let us trust to an over-ruling Providence,
and I have little fear that the scourge will pass over,
and that the poor man will again be comforted by a sight
and taste of that vegetable which none of us can dis-
pense with, and which to him this season is so great a
luxury.—Yours faithfully,
Wick, Nov. 23.

M. EUGENE SUE AND MR.
MITCHELL.

The following letter has been addressed to Mr. Mit-
chell, the director of the French Plays

I learn, Sir, from my excellent friend the Count
d'Orsay, that many persons of the highest consideration
in England intend to offer you a public testimonial of the
esteem in which they hold you, and of the lively na-
tional interest they take in the establishment which you,
Sir, direct, with so much intelligence, and with so en-
lightened a love for the fine arts. I should rejoice, Sir,
to add my name to those who so justly appreciate your
exertions, and to express to you, as a Frenchman, all
my gratitude for the generous and (Aerated zeal with
which you foster and popularise in England, French
dramatic art and literature, even as you so brilliantly
inaugurated in France the master pv.Nductions of Eng.
lish dramatic art. Continue, my friend, to act thus—
to retain the approbation of persons of heart and of
taste ; for such intellectual exchanges between our two
nations must necessarily extend to their enlightenment,
their aggrandisement, by creating a reciprocity of feel-
ing for genius, of which both have so much reason to
beproud.—Receive, Sir, &c.

" EUGENE SUE."

An engagement has been settled with Mr. Bunn
for the production of The Bohemian Girl, The Enchan-
tress &c., with the operatic company of Drury-lane, at

MADAME Bisnor.— At the close of Madame
Bishop's present engagement at Drury-lane, this distin-
guished vocalist will proceed upon her tour, which will
comprise Dublin, Edinburgh, and the principal cities of
England. The sum guaranteed to her by the Birming-
ham director alone amounts to 6001. So numerous are
her engagements, that every hour will be engrossed for
two months. She will return to L3nd,%n in time for the
concert season. The operas in which Madame Bishop
is to appear are La Sonnambula, An-a Bolena, Linda di
Chamouni, Lucia de Lammermoor, L'Elisir d'Amore, and
The Maid of Artois. Her engagements for the month
of January will amount to nearly a thousand pounds !
a gratifying instance of the high popularity and splendid
talents of a ,native artiste.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—The telegraph has been
laid down and covered in as far as Oakley-street, east
side of Westminster-road. From Westminster-road the
right-hand footway along Oakley-street and Gibson-

reception of the wires.
