The Dublin correspondent OF the Morn

meai-tas now become quite general ttiro'-
out the country, and the people prefer IT
ito the polatoe, the enormous price OF
which, 70, some months past, had placed
!, beyond the reach oflhe laboring classes.
One GOOD effec, Of this change in the food
sof ,he humber classes is a reduction in
the price Of potatoes, both tor seed and
iimmediate consumption.

Accounts have been brought ny the
Algiers papers of the 25th ult., stating
,ba, Add el.Kader had ordered 10 be mas
sacred in cold blood the. 800 prisoners
who had fallen into his hands. The rea-
son assigned for this horrible act is, that
the Morocco troops were advancing on all
sides against the Beira, and that he, for
the purpose OF committing 10 his cause tie
Alcerine tribes who had enigrated with
him into Morocco, had ordered bis pris-
oners, with the exception Of the officers,
20 be shot. There is -sowe douel expressed

Commercial Summ;dry.-The beautiful
weather. which Sci in. with the ciqse OF
Navcontinues, and the warmth at present
is oppressive. Vegetation progresses, and
the country in every direction presents a.
smiling and loving appearance. AT pres
.nt there is evidence not only OF an a0un-
daut. bur OF an early harvest: The corn
in most districts looks strong and heaithy'
and the potaloe is found TO be Tree from
disease, and excellent in all respects

The effest of this stale of things on So
c;etv must be beneficial its effects on
commerce will also be important and
specuators in bread sutfs, from the turn
which matters have taken. will realise
less than they anticipated,
With abundance, there is always an-
o,he, concomitan,--cheapness. Not only
is Heaven smiling DER US, but Legislators
seem disposed to rescpd their poll tax upon
bread. When the Corn Bill passes, i'm

ceptible-four shillings quarter. The
efec, Of this upon the domestic markets
wiI'be severely felt.
The scarcity in Belgium has induced
the government to extend the time OF inc
ports being open from June TO the lst: OF
October. Bat the harvest prospects On
the continent are scarcely inferior to our
own.
The Cotton, market has been reduced
again 10 state of comparative quietude.
Much stress has been laid on the presumed
deficiency in the number Of bales which
the crop produced this year compareed, with
the crop OF the previous year. Two or
three months back we mentioned the
prevalence Of an opinion, OH this side OF
the water, tha, although the bales were
fewer they were larger than usual. But
,eubsequent investigations show that the
deficiency betweee the receipts Of the Two
yaars, produce is rather nominal than
real. .:s..5,.sss ..sE
