TIL. IRISH p ,TATO CROr.
The accounts Of the potato crop in Ire-
land are Of nature to excite the inos, &C.
rions approximations for the ensuing year.
The Mark Line T. press says tina, d cor.
respondent in the county oil Kildars
writes NtEF
There is no doubt Of the failure OF the
crop, and there is every reason 20 appre-
bend a famine in consequence. The al
tenlion of most persons appears 10 be en-
tirely directed TO one point, that Of ascer-
tainIng how far any portion Of the crop
can be saved. Suppose the antainted por-
ton were secured from the destruction
which threatens it--would the vast popu.
laton OF the country be secured from
want approaching 10 famine? | think
not"
The Cork Reporter of the 18th says
Accounts continue 10 reach us ut The
deplorable state Of the potato crop. The
malady is increasing, and the district
which was free yesterday rs TO day visited
with the pesi'ence. Kerry, which was
hitherto safe, is beginning to complain, and
our Crookhaven correspondent, who last
week informed rs that all was right IN TINT
district, now assures us that since he last
wrote the potato inurrain has made its APP
pearance. The accounts from Meath, from
the neighbofhood Of Dublin, from Tyrone,
Ro>coihrnoh, Waterford, Kilkenny and
Carlow, Down and Armagh, arc all 10 the
same effect. Things begin to wear an
alarming aspect. The vegetable pes'ilence
though not universal, and in some instances
happily ascertalned 10 have been esagger-
ated, is yet known to be spreading, and 70
be most destructive.
