for the charcoal will give to the plant, when it begins to
grow, that which the disease has taken from it, and the
next crop will be quite sound. But it you cannot do this,
plant the seed just as I have before described, and no
matter what kiLd you have, do not be afraid of using it.
Let the sets be as sound as you cau _vet them, but don't
fear to use diseased potatoes, if you plant them in dry
weather, and at once—that is, this month or the next—
but in no case later than December; and, if you follow
this advice, please God! you will have good potatoes next

THE LOSS OF THE GREAT BRITAIN

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES

Srrt,—Your laboured article on my statement to the
directors of the Great Western Steam-ship Company has
just this moment reached me. I do not, cannot believe,
with all the power for mischief you unfortunately possess,
and exercise with evident gratification, that it can do me

any injury. We truly are a paper-ridden people; but
there are still many who judge for themselves, and they
will increase, I hope; and to them I appeal from your
self-formed judgment. The idea of a landsman or a
lubber (evidently one or the other is the editorial " we")
. .

pronouncing so -decided en opinion in such a case is ridicu-
lous ; but you well know you have never given the Great
Western Steam-ship CoApany, or any person connected
with it, fair play. Why, you can best tell. Your scrib-
bler says, " Captain Hosken starts with excuses for tak-
ing the North Channel." Captain Hosken "starts" with
reasons for doicg so, and maintains them to be good and
sufficient; and then follow sapient remarks and laboured
lines, which I pass over, only noticing a few of them,
leaving you St. Paul's, Charing-cross, Whitehall, and
Farrimrdon-street to wander in, and recommending your
scribbler to extend his walk to Leadenhall-street, to
improve his knowledge in navigation.
" At half-past five o'clock he has the Isle of Man on his
right. He runs straight away, by his own reckoning,
some thirty miles, and then jumps at a conclusion, at a
quarter past eight, that he has this same island on his
left." Any of your nautical readers will understand a
ship's course being altered from N.W. by N. to N. by E.
will bring a light from the starboard to the port or lar-
board bow, and this is really all the point in your article ;
your winding up, " We have no wish to press hardly on a
man who has suffered already such mortifications and
losses from his own act," is paltry, and, as it means no-
thing, is unworthy of notice, as I shall consider any more
editorials on this subject. But if " Nauticus," or any of
your correspondents, attack me with their names, I shall
be quite prepared to answer them.

I am, Sit-, your obedient servant,
JAMES HOSKEN,
Great Britain Steam-ship, October, 281 h.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—THIs DAY.
Owing to the extraordinary interruptions to which the
corn trade in Ireland has been lately exposed, our supplies
thence are still very inconsiderable, and those fresh in
coastwise are scarcely worth naming ; to serve the wants of
consumers, therefore, with the demand for transits coast-
wise and to Ireland, we are of course dependent on the
stocks in granary, or deliveries from the neighbouring
growers, and on foreign importations which, since this
day week, furnish a liberal supply of Wheat, and Flour,
with a few lots of Barley and Pease, and 3,938 qrs. of
Indian Corn, as stated below.

The decline in London yesterday has produced an in-
creased depression here this morning : altogether, a very
limited business has been done, at a reduction, o❑ Whcat
of 3d. to 4d. per 701b5.; Sack Flour 2s. to 3s. ; Barrel,
both free and bond, 2s. 6d.

Oats and Oatmeal about support previous rates,
and Indian Corn still commands high prices for any
on the spot, while parcels for future arrival are
more plentifully offered, and little or no enquiry for them
even at reduced rates from those lately obtainable.
