There appears to be some appearance OF the
potato disease, but 10 what extent this cause will
affect The prices OF breadstuff:, cannot BE- now
ascenained. The European Times, in conclu-
ding an article on the subject OF b'eajsufs, says:
"There can be no doubt, however, lha, the
stock in all the available markets Of Europe will
be quite exhausted before the harvest; indeed
The iood riots in corn production spots in conse-
quence OF the high prices, prove thai the dealers
have ovcrsold themselves, and exported The pro-
duce which was required TOR their own wants.
In England we are satisfied that very little stock
remains in the farmers hands. Some rare in
stances OF obstinate holders standing out for inn
possible prices prove nothing. In month hence
here will be little or none remaining, but new
corn will probably be in The market. Now, il the
present fine weather continues, OF which there is
every appearance, il may he confidently stated
that most abundant harvest will be gathered
throughout all Europe. II will follow, therefore,
that although the requirmcrts ot Europe will be
immense, the supplies, taken into consideration
will be corresponding, and any excess over Ihr
wants OF consumption will tend 10 reduce prices
in a far greater proportional degree than in a
mere arilhmetical ratio"

IrELAsD.-W are glad 10 fad that, generally,
The accounts are much les unfavorabie as 10 The
extent OF fever and dsslilu,on. Food is becoin
ing plentiful and cheaper, and the fine prospects
of The harvest are giving confidence 10 all classes.
Even in Skibbcrccn there is most decided i'm
provement In some districts, however Sligo in
particular fever and deslilution sill prevail 10 q
lamen.abe extent.
At present there is no indication of an united
national Irish party being created ouI OF The d'vi-
ded and exhausted fragments Of The Repeal Asso-
citation. The country is still prey 10 famine
and pesliIcnce, and many years must e'apse be-
fore she can recover herself. The conflicting
statements circulated respecting The prospects Of
Inc potato crop, render isill difficult 10 gi7e any
positive opinion on The subject.
