IRELAND

The condition of the polato crop in Ireland, and the
measures intended to be adodted by government in con-
sequence, will be found detailed in Lord John Russell's
speech which is given in our parliamentary intelligence of
Monday.

Conic —Much distress exists throughout the county of
Cork in consequence of the disea.e in the potato crop
Meetings have been held in Skibbereen, Mallow, and
other towns, for the purpose of devising means for the
relief of the people. All the resident clergy and gentry
have attended these meetings. Lord Bandon has called a
meeting for Tuesday next, of all the magistrates, landed
proprietors, and clergy of all denominations, of the west
riding of the county of Cork, to "take into consideration
the distress occasioned by the failure of the potato crop."
Amidst all the distress, it is most gratifying to know that
there is fourth alleviation in store. The wheat crop from
Carlow to Waterford, and thence to Dungarvan, is safe,
being in the majority of cases stacked. The crop is above
an ore, age, and the grain of most excellent quality. The
barley crop is also decidedly good, but there is not much
of it yet cut.

EFFECT OF CANNON BALLS ON IRON STEAMERS.—
At Portsmouth some remarkable results have been pro-
duced by the experimental shot practice, from the Excel-
lent. on the iron steamer Ruby, and it is expected the
Admiralty will, in consequence, st, p the building of iron
steamers and other vessels for the present. The shots
which hit the Ruby not only penetrated the side first
struck, but in some instances passed through the other
side, carrying with it whole plates of iron. In action this
would risk the total loss of the vessel, for on heeling over
to leeward, such a body of water must rush in that no-
thing could prevent her sinking, with all on board. A.
representation of this important circumstance, arising
from the recent trials, has been made, to the Admiralty ;
and, should further experimental firing prove that serious
risk will be occasioned to iron vessels of war when exposed
to the chance of being struck by heavy shot, it is doubtful
if the board will not abolish them as men-of.war.
"AFFLICTION Spors."--It is not perhaps generally
known in the provinces that within the last half dozen
years mercers' shops have been opened in cifferent
of 0- --ills for the exclusive sale

„...e of articles of mourn

up in the "garb of woe." A gentleman late), entered one
of these sombre emporiums, and inquired if he could be
supplied with a pair of dark grey glues. He received a
reply in the affirmative, and was nolitely requested to step
forward into the " mitigated bffliction department"—an
inner room—where he would be immediately attended to.
