Horticultural Society in making collections for
their gardens at Mexico and Guatemala, has lust
been sent to California, which was explored for
tne same purpose some years since by the late
Mr.. Douglas. The fate of this last traveller was
very tragical, for on his return home bv way of
the Sandwich Islands, he there fell into pit

STATE OF IRELAND-BdIlindSlO Fair The
intelligence from Ballinasoe affords most crafty
ing evidence Of the steady Improvement of the
agricultural interests in Ireland, and, generally,
OF the advance of all classes to a condition of com
parahve prosperity, which cannot fail before long
to reach the poor working man. The sheep fair
was one OF the largest ever held-the sheep were
in prime condition, and the prices realized were
considerably larger than those of last year, when
the fair was considered remunerative one 1t
is estimated that 100000 sheep were exhibited
upon the fair green. On the first fair day, Sat-
urday last, $4,000 were sold.
large nportion of the sheep were actually
sold before they arrived at the far-green 1t IS
remarkable, too, that the bulk of the sales were
for cash, and that comparatively few bills were
given in payment.
The cattle fair is likely to be as high as that
for sheep, and it was expected that horses would
be considerably higher than last year. Alogeth-
er the present fair Of Ballinasoe is likely to be
of the best for the sellers that has taken place
for many year.
THE WAR IN ALGIERS
The French officer commanding at Diemra-
Ghezona, post situated on the frontiers of Mo-
rocco, was informed by an Arab that Abd-el-Ka-
der was in the neighborhood. The officer
a brave man,-immediaely took steps to repel the
enemy, and placing himself at the head of about
400 men, which was the greater part of the gar
rison OF the place, went out to meet Abd-el-Ka-
der. He had hardly proceeded two leagues when
he found himself all of a sudden in front of
large body of Arabs, who attacked him on all
sides. The commanding officer was one OF the
first killed. The troops defended themselves
bravely, and made most desperate resistance,
but their ammunition failed them, and they were
cut to pieces.
Eighty, however, contrived to take refuge in a
marabout, where they endeavored to defend
themselves. For two days they kept the enemy
at bay, but want of provisions, and especially
want of water, drove them to the most desperate
and disgusting extremes. Ultimately they were
destroyed, and with the exception of fourteen
soldiers who contrived to escape into the town,
the whole persisted. Abd-el-Kader, encouraged
by this success, marched Immediately on ITEM
cen, in the hope of surprising General Caraignac
who happened to be in the field at the head of
considerable number OF troops. He was immedi-
ately attacked by the Arabs and suffered consid-
cradle losses, but ultimately the Arabs were re-
pulsed colonel was among the killed. Gen.
Lamoiricere has sent large bodies of troops to the
Morocco frontier, and is to place himself at the
head OF them but it is thought that Abd-e- Ka-
der will not meet the reinforcements, but, salts
he'd with his present success, will take refuge in
the desert.
The Government are determined not to let the
affair pass unrevenged His majesty held a coun-
Gil on the 9th, at which it was ordered that six
regiments OF infantry and two regiments of caval-
ry should be embarked and conveyed Immediate
ly to Oran in Algiers where Marshal Bugeaud is
to proceed forthwith
The official .Noniteur announces merely the
order OF eight regiments to Algers, but the Jour
nal deS DebGtS broadly hints that this force is to
act against Morocco the protector of Abd-el-
Kader.
The PRISONER OF HAM A letter from
Paris of the 18th ult., published in German

companions in misfortune will be restored to free

SPAIN. If the Madrid papers are to be be-
lieved the great question of the Queens marriage

ITALY. The city of Rimini was the theatre
of political explosion which lasted three DAYS,
commencing on the 23d of September 1t origi-
nated-or is said to have originated-in a gather
ing of the people at some public games certain
individuals were turbulent and noisy which in
duced the guard to interfere. Two of the most
NOISY were arrested, but others came to their res
cue and the guard were overpowered. The in
surgents then " ran through the Streets and
their force must have been considerable, for the
account says that the Pontihcal garrison was IN
able to offer any resistance. In short, the agita-
tors became masters Of the town, and held it until
the 26th, when a strong force from Bologna, Ra-
VIENNA and other towns arrived; whereupon. the
