THE Catholic church crisis in Germany
causes no small excitement in England. A
larcely-attended meeting in st. James
Hall, London, held to give an expression Of
popular sympathy for the church party, was
addressed by Archbishop Manning, who
fatty contradicted the assertions Of the
Emperor in his celebrated reply to the
Pope's letter, that the Catholics ofGemany
were conspiring against the government.
He also attacked the statement that the
church was in no way affected by the opera
ton of the new laws. He intimates that,
rather than allow the State to govern him
in ecclesiastical matters, he would, God
giving him grace, lay down his life. Lord
Russell. who was invited TO preside at this
meeting, emPhatically declined, on the
ground that lis fullest sympathy was with
the German Emperor in the noble struggle
for liberty in which he was engaged.

JACKSONVILLE, III. Feb. 20-The Ma
tiOaGl Crop Reporter will publish tO-mor-
row estimates in relation to the percentage
Of the hay and Irish potato crops of 1873, and
produce in hands February first in the
States Of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas. Minnesota,
Ohio and Wisconsin. The following is an
extract cfthe main features ps cseEted: The
States named produced last year over nine
million tons of hay of which there was on
hand February first little over Is per cent
or about four and cne half million tons.
Illinois retains the lightest percentage, less
than fOrty-iive, and Wisconsin the
heaviest nearly iiffy-two per cent:
ofI'ish potatoes. the States above mentioned
produced in 1873 sonnet wenty-three and 4
half million bushels. The amount on
hand now apprOXimates ten million bush
els. or about forty-one per cent. The rela-
tive proportion on hand in the several
States varies considerably, running rs low
as twenty-eight per cent. in Minnesota. and
reaching fifty-iiye and one-half per cent. in
Kansas. The average prices for wheat and
potatoes in some OF the States, relatively
considered, are somewhat anomalous. In
Illinois potatoes average FIVE cents per
bUshel higher than wheat; in Iowa seven
cents higher, and in kausas ten cents higher.
The prospects for fruit in Southern Illinois
end Southwest Missouri are fattering.
