THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
DUBLIN, AUG. 10.—There is a rumour in town to-
day that her Mgjesty and her Illustrion3 Consort intend
t 9 visit this country during the present autumn.
THE CROPS.
The weather has unlerg-one a favourable change since
yesterday, although it still appears far from settled.
DoNE9AL, AUG. B.—Since Monday night we have had
much fine rain, from which the crops are looking most
promising. Farmers look forward to an abundant
harvest ; crops of every description have apparently re-
covered the early drought. Potatoes are plentiful in the
markets, and both cheap and good. The hay has turned
out beyond expectation, and wheat looks well and for-
ward to ripening.
BORRIS-IN-OSSORY (QUEEN'S CouNTY.)—The heavy
rain and wind of MDiElay night and Tuesday morn-
ing have done a great deal of injury to, the heavy
crops in this nei3-hbourhood. The River Nore was
flooded extensively, and all the bottom meadows are
covered with water.

ADDRESSES TO LORD lIEYTESBURY.
The College of Physicians presented an address to the
Lord Lieutenant yesterday, at the Vice-Regal Lodge in
the Pheenix-park. The following is the reply of his Ex-
cellency :
" Mr. President and Gentlemen,—Your address of
congratuktion upon my arrival in this country has
afforded me great satisfaction.
" I feel grateful to you for the flattering manner in
which you have alluded to the different employments I
have had the honour to fill as representative of my Sove •
reign at foreign courts. I endeavoured there, as I shall
always endeavour here, to carry out the duties in•
trusted to me with temper, firmness, and impartiimpartiality--
feeling
feeling convinced that such a line of conduct is most
likely to secure the confidence and approbation of the
Irish people.
"You may rely, gentlemen, upon my granting all the
encouragement in my power to the arts and sciences; and
nothing shall be wanting on my part that may tend to
uphold the character awl consequence of your distin-
guished College,
"I thank you, gentlemen, in Lady lleytesbury's name,
as well as my own, for the kind expression of your good
wishes."
