The Crops I'm England.
The European Tunes contains reports Of the unfavor
able an ne arsnce the potato crop In Ireland We feel
unable 70 conceal by silence that sudden and
very rapid decay, similar to that which occurred In
previous years has taken place In potatoes Of the
lat. planting The early sorts have escaped We have
b.for. us the unquesonable proof that serious
change has place In the root but whilst the prices
eounu. low we cannot reconcile the reported extent
Of the mischief with tae st prevailing low prices and
| undoubted abundance. The alarm has been sounded
An all IA. Irish journals and far expe-
ri.pc. .Itends the potato and more faint
ed every day.
Very Important from Turkey.
TIE PROBABLE WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA, AUSTRIA
AND TURKEY.
We are informed that by far the most important
political news by this arrival Is the possible and
probable rupture Of Russia and Austria with Turkey
IL forms the chief topic Of discussion In the English
and French journals, well o. amongst all classes
and, In lite paramount Importance, the Roman difi-
Guilty a. well as all other matters Of national mpor-
lance appears to have been almost wholly Loot sight o.
The most recent accounts from Constantnople state
that the Emperor Of Russia has made formal demand
through special envoy the Porte, for the surrender
Of Kossuth Benz and other patriots who played pro-
minent part In the late hungarian struggle, who have
sousbt refuge at Widdon the Danube, In the terri
tories Of the sultan The Turkish government with o
msslinsss which cannot be too highly commended,
refused TO be bulied into compromise Of its nde-
rend.nce; and Prince Radsivsl the de-de-csmp u
the CEar q Russia after having Intellectually endea
yor,d to bully the Sultan into com piance with his
demands has taken abrupt departure from Con-
stantnople and Count Titon, the Russian Minister,
has closed all diplomatic relations with the Porte.
ENGLAND and France through their respective repre-
,ptati,.s have prevailed with the Sultan In keeping
him arm to his fret resolution. Already, in England
and France. cabinst councils have been held to con-
,is,r these grave circumstances Not the slightest
doubt can be entertained az to the result. Should
Russia p,r,st in demanding the surrender ef these devoted
m,p Eu,op.an uar Is thought TO Be ineuftabie.
