POTATO CROP IN EUROPE.
Iceland, (Elk Ridge, Md Sept. 10, i

To the editor of The Baltimore Patriot!
DEAR SIR: You will obIige subscriber and farmer
by giving publicity to the enclosed extract of let
ter from the Archbishop of Tuam to Lord John
Russell in relation to the present state of the potato
crop!
"Having recently passed through extensive tracts
of country and made minute examination into the
state Of the potato, can bear testimony not only
the premature whitening Of the stalks and conse-
quent decay Of the roots; but under stalks Of which
the leaves were still green and sound, the roots
diminutive in size, and in rapid state of decom-
position. The fact is then so, and to throw peo-
pile accustomed for some time to mea-det on pota-
toes that are some rotten and almost all unrpe,
would be to aggravate all the evils Of famine, with
the horrors of pestilence"

"REAL EsTATE.-There have been two very large
sales of real estate recently sale of about
hundred lots of ground, on Murray Hill, distant
about three miles from the City Hall. The sale
amounted to seventy to eighty thousand dollars,
seven to eight hundred dollars lot. The other is
a sale of about the same magnitude on the west side
of the city. These purchases have been made by
capitalists and are the first speculative operations
of magnitude in the city for some time. There is
steady and constant demand for houses for rent

goods"
Such somewhat at length, is the picture of the
"ruin" which the passage Of the new tariff and the
constitutional treasury law was to create. Such is
the state of things in view Of which we are told by
the wings to 90 back to the old Chinese policy Of
restriction and comparative non-intercourse. While
the wing journals of New York will continue to
publish such facts as these, they may In their Pot

Mr. Bancroft and family left Washington this
evening for Baltimore. He expects TO embark on
his mission to Great Britain in the steamer of the
9Th of October.
We have already expressed our opinion of the
eminent ability displayed by Mr.. Bancroft
member Of the cabinet, and of the rare and various
qualifications which he brings to the performance
of his new and important duties The departure Of
Mr. Bancroft and his accomplished lady will be
deeply felt in the social circles Of Washington.

The ORIGINAL EDITOR OF pUNcH.-Mr. Harry
Grattan, the actor, wel-known to the boys at the
Chatham theatre, was the first editor ofPunch. He
edited the first four numbers, and wrote nearly all
the articles in them himself The present editor
Mark Lemon, is a playwright, who formerly kept
small chop-house in London. IL is a strange
comment on the popular prejudice against players,
that the theatre should have furnished editors foI
one of the greatest moral reformers of the age.
