RESIGNATION OF A MAGISTRATE. BALLINHASSIG
AFFRAY.—The Cork Reporter says—" We were aware
a fortnight ago, that Mr. Molony had sent in his re-
signation of the Commission of the Peace. We now
learn, with regret, that, in compliance with his
request, the supersedeas has conic down. We understand
the cause of Mr. Molony's resignation was this:—Feeling
horrified at the disastrous affair in his own vicinity, and
seeing that the police can, under their regulations, act
against the people without the orders of a magistrate,
while in public opinion the magistrate may be unjustly
implicated in their acts, he determined not, in any form,
to be a concurring party to such regulations, or in future
to risk being involved innocently in such wholesale
slaughter. He therefore threw up the commission."
The Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to approve of
the Marquis of Downshire being appointed Colonel of the
South Down Regiment of Militia, in the room of the
Marquis ofpownshire, deceased.

Tlie Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to approve of
Lord Edwin Hill being appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of
the South Dewn Regiment of Militia, in the room of the
Marquis of Downshire, promoted.

CEONMEE, AUGUST 2.—(FRoit A CORREsrONDENr.)—
THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—For the last four or five days
we had some very heavy showers; this day is beautifully fine
--the weather seems settled—the crops are not in the least
Injured. A few gardens of wheat in the vicini-y of towns may
be lodged ; that is, where the crops are very heavy, the general
appearance is very fine, in fact we never had such crops, though
they will be a fortnight or three weeks late.
It was most fortunate for the millers and corn-factors, that
there was broken weather both in England and Ireland, as
otherwise they would barely make what they paid for their
corn ; in fact anything to equal the heavy stock at this season
of the year in millers' and factors' hands was never known.
If we had an early harvest, wheat would be selling here at
355. per boll of the 20 stone, owing to the above.
This is a great place for corn-merchants. There is at
this moment held in this town at the very lowest calculation,
thirty-five thousand quarterns wheat.
