1CRoPs, &c.-From all accounts the Potato
crop from Louisville to this point appears to
b total failure. Potatoes selling readily
from so to 55c. along the river, and at some
points commanding from 70 to 75c. The
failure Of this crop appears to have exercised
Q very material influence over the corn crop.
The market for the latter has opened at 80 to
35c., some farmers asking as high as 40c.-
From information gathered, we believe there
y nothing to warrant traders paying this
Price, even il the potato crop had been fail
ore from Pittsburgh to the mouth Of the Ohio
The Wheat crop having been very good, il
isnot to be expected the corn crop can sustain
itsslf at the present figure, Ohio having
saised enough Of wheat to bread our whole

HA dividend Of 81 per cent. has been
declared by the Plank Road Company, south
of Logansport, for tho last three months.

An EreLrsH PEER.-The New York Tn
bune gives currency to report that the new
singer. Parodi. has captivated the Dnke Of
Devonshire. and that he is anxious to make
her his Duchess.
This rumor revives in our mind an old
piece ofCourt scandal which has been current
for many years against this Duke. but which
has lately been renewed under circumstan-
ces which, may deprive hin of his dukedom.-
II true, it explains why, with all the advan-
tages Of rank and immense wealth. he has
never married, and why it 10 idle to suppose
that he ever will marry.
The story runs that the Duke is absolute
ly without right either to Il e title or estates,
not being the son of the late Duke, but an
impostor introduced into the family Tor the
purpose Of providing an heir. The late
Duchess, so says the scandal, had only pre-
tended confinement, and the child which was
received as her son, and the heir Of her duke
DOM was total stranger to the blood.
The second part Of the story is, that on the
death Of the late Duke, the next heir, who
would have succeeded to the title had their
been no son. obtained full proof Of the facts.
and a correspondence ensued, which ended in
mutual agreement to keep the matter Sc
cret, for the credit as was said, ot the family.
The chief consideration being that the titu-
lar Duke should remain unmarried. so that at
his death the property and honors should
revert naturally to the right line. 1t has been
further supposed that the income Of the es-
tales were divided. The present heir ap-
parent is the Earl Of Burlington, whose
grandfather was brother to the old Duke.
All this has been the current rumor for a
great many years. and has sometimes beer
accompanied with expressions Of admiration
or surprise, at the liberality of the younger
branch OF the Cavendish family in leaving
a stranger in possession of so magnificent 9
property during his life. He is now sixty years
old. For our own part, We never gave heet
to it. except as piece of gossip-probably &
mere invention but within few years Law
proceedings have been commenced, which
makes it not unlikely that there is some trutf
in the story, and that the Burlington branch
has good cause to deal very gently with TIT
person in possession, for the excellent reason
that they have but a very indifferent title o
their own.
A claimant has started up, who represent
himself as descendant Of branch Of TIT
Cavendish family. elder than the Burlington
Cavendishes. Ejectment suits have beer
commenced, and at the trials it is intended t
give these things in evidence to upset TIT
present Dukes title altogether. The nam
of the claimant is Souter. A similar suit wa
