INDIAN CoRN-The reported failure of the po-
tato crop in Ireland has again produced a great
demand for this cheap and nutritious grain.
Large quantities were sold in Liverpool lately
at a Slight advance in price. 1t is still, however,
the cheapest article OF food that can be pur-
chased.
The new government have now nearly COM
pleted their appointments in this country. The
law officers, as enumerated IN our paper OF the
! 18th, have entered upon their duties. The death
of Mr.. Goold, Master in Chancery, has resulted in
the promotion of Mr.. Hatchell, &C This learned
gentleman is we'll spoken of by all parties
The schism alluded to in our last still appears
to prevail among the members of the Repeal As
ISOLATION. The Young Ireland party, who are
more enthusiastic as to the attaining OF Repeal,
are at loggerheads with the views propounded by
the Liberator and the great majority Of the asso-
citation. Smith O'Brien has espoused the cause
of the former, and in fact, declared against the
Liberator. At a monster tea meeting, held at Kill
rush few days ago, the hon member for Limerick
referred to the all-absorbng topic OF Mr.. Shells
election. He (Mr. OBrien) deeply regretted the
| result of two elections lately-namely, Dungarvan
and Roscommon. The OConor Don, though
Repeater, is not member OF the association
However, his icing known to entertain such SEN
timents, though not joining them as he ought, and
strong family ties connected with the county which
he represents, he being the descendant of an Irish
king, are not very weak reasons for their acquies-
cling in his return. CHearl But when he turned
to hungarian, he regretted that such state of
things existed there. Clear, hear.) He confess
sed he felt disappointed at the people of Dungar-
van, at how they acted, though having a majority
f Repealers. (Hear, hear.) Mr.. Shell has SPLEEN
did Abilities it true, but those abilities not
put forward on behalf Of repeal. (Hear.) He re-
could not see how it would be right to turn out such
men as Sergeant Murphy, Ser. Stock, Mr. Wyse,
and Mr.. Redington and pass by Mr.. She'll. Clear,
hear.) He could not understand such policy,
! and he was up to this unable to conceive what it
meant. Ii Dungarvan had been contested and
carried, he had no hesitation in saying it would
be as important to the repeal cause as the Clare
election in 1928 was to the cause of Catholic
emancipation. (Hear, and cheers.) If the
| peal constituencies continue thus to act as at
Dungarvan, it will be quite destructive to- the
repeal cause. He felt 1t incumbent on him to
give expression to those sentiments, even at the
| risk of dispeasure in some quarter" Mr.. Chas.
O'Connel, a relative of Mr.. OConnell, alluded
TO the subject in subsequent part OF the evening,
aud snappishly alluded To the attempts Of the
"three r. nilemen who came from the Nafipe oil
fee to attack" Mr.. OConnell. Wherempon Mr.
O'Brien defender the persons attacked, aud the
matter dropped with the appearance of much
good feeling between the different parties
One of the chief topics which now engage the
attention of the pre- is the result of the forth
coming elections. The opposition seem confident
of msjorty in the capital and the same pros
poets exist in ali the large cities /; at Rouen, at
Bordeaux, at Toulouse, al Marseilles, at Lille,
and, perhaps, even at Lyons, where the Pres
ident of the Chamber, M. Souzet, has re-
the L ministry will have the advantages in
| ali the smaller towns, where knowledge
IL less dffused, political opinion less active,
and the electors less numerous. The government
are busy in making a fresh promotion OF func-
tonares from among the deputies prior to the
commencement OF the new elections. The latest
accounts from Paris would lead us to the conclu-
sion that the Opposition has no chance OF impro-
| wing its position.
The Minister of War has received from Mar
shall Bugeaud letter, dated Constantine, the 4th,
which he had received from General Bedeau.-

The HARVEST IN FRANcE.-Our private letters
express surprise at the height to which prices are
kept up in the various markets in France. From
every quarter" say these letters, I'VE hear Of
the admirable quality and OF the more than ordi-
nary produce Of the corn crops OF this year
In a week from the present day the entire OF the
harvest south of Paris with the exception OF oats

barley are all safe and much of the wheat pro-
gress Of reaping The potatoes will also turn
out well. The vintage promises to be the finest
since 1911, exceeding In quantity that OF 1884"
ELEcTIoNEKRINa TACTICS IN FRANCE.-During
the preparations for the impending general cleo
ton in France, the papers TEEN with all sorts OF
anecdotes respectngthe manGuvres ofthe would
be deputies to obtain the " most sweet voices OF
the various constituencies. The following is not
the least curious -" AS soon as the Chambers
were dissolved, M. Behie fastened down to the
town of which he was the representative. On his
arrival, being fee day, he found the greater part
of the citizens at church; thther he too repaired
and ascending into the organ loft, induced the old
organist to give up his place for time. Under

known to it for half a century; the old airs hand
ed down through three or four generations were
replaced by the Stabat Mater and Der Freischntz.
The congregation were astonished, and the cure,
wondering at the mysterious event, assembled into
the organ loft, and thanked the candidate for his
display. After mass the electors were assembled
at the cures to dine with the erfen,pore organist
AT dessert the election was brought the carpet,
but here M. Behie's success was far from being
as complete on the organ II you will stand
for the situation of organst, said one of the guests,
you shall have my vote but as for being deputy,
that is quite another matter"
