of the day, and succeeded in obtaining seven stand of

but gave up the pursuit on being fired at by the robbers.

THE HARVF.ST.—THE POTATOES.—There is no longer
any question about the condition of the potato crop in the
metropolitan counties. It is all more or less affected with
blight. Hardly a ridge can be found which is not tainted,
and in many parts, particularly towards the south—viz.,
in the direction of Wicklow, Wexford, Waterford, &c.—
the blight is proceeding with destructive rapidity. The
price of good potatoes has, within the past two or three
weeks, risen from 6d. to 10d. the stone of 141 b.

ASSASSINATION IN TIPPERARY.-110 Dublin Ex-
press of Saturday briefly announces that Callaghan Ryan,
Eqq., was shot on Friday evening on his own property at
Newcastle, about seven miles from Clonmel. The brother
of the murdered gentleman was a stipendiary magistrate
in Clonmel about two years ago. It is stated in town that
the deceased is related to the influential Roman Catholic
family of George Ryan, Esq., of Inch-house, a deputy
lieutenant and magistrate of Tipperary. His offence
against the Ribbon code is not stated.

SHIPIVRECK.—At an eirly hour on the morning of
Wednesday, the schooner Dove, of Beaumaris, Hughes,
master, with a cargo of kelp from Galway for Divide
struck on the Finish Rock, in the south sound, at the
entrance of Galway Bay, and as the tide was at the
moment fast receding, she shortly afterwards capsized and
sank in deep water. The vessel and cargo have been
entirely lost, but the master and crew fortunately effected
their escape. The cargo, which belonged to Mr. P. M.
Lynch, was insured, but the vessel was not.
THE IRISH FISHERY GROUNDS.—Recent misunder-
standings on the question of fisheries in the Bay of Fundy
and other maritime Transalantic possessions of Great
Britain, may well excuse an allusion to the long-neglected
fishing stations on the west coast of Ireland. There ex-
haustless shoals of mackerel and herrings abound, and are
hardly disturbed in seas that rarely show a fleet of hatch-
boats: Cod-fish, turbot, and lobsters, the most valuable
products for any market, are suffered to multiply, and are
hardly molested. The peasantry of the coasts are most
impoverished, and yet, will it be believed ? this very
peasantry imports a great portion of its cured fish (which,
amongst the poor, is chiefly herrings) from Scotland, and
even from the Duch ! . . . Much has been said of the
value of Transatladtic fishing-grounds, of their being a
nursery for sailors, and of the wealth that flows from that
species of commerce. It appears that both France and
the United States have given bounties for their en-
couragement; and yet here we have on our very coasts,
at home with us, fisheries of the most prolific and ex-
haustless description, which to this hour have been wholly
neglected by our Government !—The Builder.

PROSECUTION OF FATHERS BOURKE AND CLUNE.—
The government, as already intimated, having resolved on
convincing the sacerdotal agitatars that they must keep
within reasonable limits, and that they will not be per-
mitted to violate law and decency with impunity, Messrs.
Bourke and Clune, with the other parties charged with
seditious riots at Sixmile-bridge, when several unfortunate
men lost their lives, appeared before John O'Brien, Esq.,
stipendiary magistrate, at Sixmile-bridge, on Tuesday. Mr.
O'Brienhaving stated his object in requesting their attend-
ance, the legal gentleman employed on behalf of the rev.
defendants attempted to play the old and successful game
of brag, but in this instance without effect. At first it
was more than insinuated that the reverend gentlemen
would refuse to give bail, but when it was intimated to
them pretty plainly that in that case they would be
transferred to the safe keeping of the gaoler of Ennis,
they prudently changed their tone, and, making a virtue
of necessity, submitted to the fate of ordinary mortals in
such cases, and offered good and solvent surety for their
appearance at the assizes ; two solvent men in £5O each,
and themselves in £lOO. It would appear from the report
that none of the local magistrates were present, and that
all the responsibility was accordingly thrown upon the
government official.

THE LORD-LIEUTENANT IN BELFAST.—The Lord-
Lieutenant and Lady Eglinton proceeded, on Tuesday, to
Belfast, to assist at the meeting of the British Association.
The Northern Whig says :—" Tuesday being the day ap-
pointed for the:arrival of the Lord-Lieutenant in Belfast,
for the purpose of partaking of the hospitalities of the Cor-
poration, and of being present at the proceedings of the
British Association, preparations, on a most extensive
scale, were made to accord him a reception such as would
be suitable from the attached 'subjects of her Majesty in
the capital of the north to her representative in Ireland.
From an early hour the town evinced signs of preparation
and bustle. Banners were being bung out, flags were
being hoisted, and escutcheons, paintings, and floral
wreaths were being placed upon the house fronts in the
streets through which it was announced that the viceregal
carriage would pass." The greetings on the Viceroy's
arrival were most flattering. An address was presented,
and, in the evening, his excellency was entertained at a
magnificent banquet by the Corporation. Among the
guests were :—Samuel GrHme Fenton, Esq., mayor, in
the chair ; the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, his Grace the

ArchbishOp of Dublin, Marquis of Downshire. the Earl
of Antrim, the Earl of Enniskillen, the Earl of Dunraven,
Lord Naas, Lord Rossmore, the Earl of Belfast, Lord
Dufferin, Sir Robert Bateson, Bart., the law officers of
the crown, and all the distinguished visitors in the town."
On Wednesday, the Viceroy received numerous addresses,
visited the Queen's College, the harbour, &c., and, in
the evening, attended the meeting of the association.

A PRECIOUS PRIEST.—" D. W. Cahill, D.D.," as he
signs himself, has published a letter addressed to the Earl
of Derby, of which the following extracts are specimens :
—" Ah, Lord Derby, your government can bully and
persecute, and spoliate and infidelise, when your victims
are chained, and unable to offer resistance to your cruel
tyranny and your accursed oppression ; but, Heaven be
for ever praised, the scene is beginning to change ; the sun
of Great Britain is fast descending from its culminating
point ; your day of unrivalled sway is certainly drawing to
a close ; your national character and prestige are beyond
all doubt gone : your nation is now universally branded as
deceitful and degraded ; you have decidedly forfeited the
confidence of Europe, and you are hated, despised, and
abhorred by the whole world, your two successive govern.

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANCHESTER.—There is very little change in the position of
this market. Prices remain very firm generally both for goods
and yarns. In some few instances rather easier prices were
accepted for some sorts of yarn, but in others a movement of
an opposite kind was observable. The German houses still
confine their operations within the limits of their actual orders ;
whilst for India there was rather more doing in anticipation
than since the arrival of the letters. The accounts thence are
certatnly of an unfavourable character, but the decline of
prices is in some measure compensated by the more favourable
movement of the rates of exchange. For home use the demand
is fair, but in this instance, as in most others, operations are
confined by the full prices asked, whilst spinners are, with few
exceptions, so fully engaged as to render them bad to deal with.
Printing cloths are still the most favourably placed of all
descriptions of goods, 26 to 27-in, GO to 72 reeds continuing in
very good request, with an upward tendency. 40-in skirtings
have bun more inquired for, as has been the case in T cloths
of 41b and 61b weight, but in neither instance can any advance
of price be noted. The inquiry for all kinds of goods is
for home use at the present time than for export.
Roc H DALE.—The markets on Monday were more numerously

attended by merchants and drapers than for the last three

weeks. There was a good demand for fine and middle qualities
of flannels, also dyed goods and strong Yorkshire domestics.
sofa of flannel goods were higher in price. There were but
few goods left unsold, and the stocks in the warehouses are
getting low. There was more business in the wool market.
Previous prices were fully maintained.

AlAcctEenELl

—The business done in the staple silk ma-
nufacture of the town has been of an improved character, as
several buyers have appeared from London and Manchester,
and their transactions for the home market and shipping are
reported to be more satisfactory than some weeks preceding,
both in business and scale of prices ; in fact, the stocks are
lower than has been the case for some years, and the demand
for goods is fully equa' to the production. The present aspect
of businesp in thiq department has evidently ameliorated, to
