THE VICEBOTALTT.—The Earl Of Winton took farewell of the Dublin folks on Monday. At his reception he made some remarks on the talk about abolishing the Viceroyalty :—" More mature consideration and a larger experience of this country have only confirmed me in the opinions I have on all previous occasions expressed of the great importance of the office I have held among you; and I trust that no party in the State will ever adopt the shortsighted policy which would be I involved in its abolition." The Earl of Carlisle was to I arrive in Dublin on the 11th (yesterday.) _ •  A suicide occurred at Cork on Friday evening under more than usually horrifying circumstances. A young married woman in • fit of mental aberration, caused by grief for the loss of a much-loved child, threw herself out of • window 40 feet from the ground. Her mother, who had followed, succeeded in seizing her by the hair, when as she was thus suspended, amen from the window below : caught her by the feet. At the same moment the mother had to leave her hold; the body swung over, and also fell from the grasp of the person below, descending to a railing underneath where the wretched woman was impaled, meeting instantaneous death. CORN CaowlNG.—An addendum to last year's report of Irish Agricultural Statistics has lately been published by Mr. Donnelly, in which the estimated produce per acre of the several cropeduring 1858 is applied to the ascertained acreage, as given last autumn, so as to bring out the gross produce of the country. The tables accompanying the report indicate that in 1858, compared with 1837, wheat shows an increase 81,507 quarters although • less extent was sown—the average produce per acre having been greater. Oats, with the same average yield per acre as in 1857, produced 58,191 quarters more in 1858, owing to a larger acreage; barley and bere, with a higher average yield per acre, gave • lower total produce, owing to the decrease in their extent. Potatoes exhibit an increase both in acreno and average yield per acre, and afforded an addition of 1,382,881 tons to the food of the country. Turnips, mange' wench and cabbage, also show an increased produce in 1848. Flax, although with a diminished extent of 6,075 acres, shows, owing to • greater produce per acre, a general increase in yield of 3,106 tons in 1858. The bay crop also appears to have produced 134,362 tons more in 1858 than in 1857. According to the returns, the average yield per acre of the principal crops during the last ten years (1849 to 1858), was as follows :—Wheat, 5.3 barrels of 20 stones ; oats, 7.8 barrels of 14 stones; barley, 8.5 barrels of 16 stones; I here, 8.0 barrels of 16 atones; rye, 7.1 barrels of 20 stones; beans and peas, 27.1 bushels of 8 gallons; potatoes, 39.4 barrels of 20 stones; turnips, 15.1 tons; mange! wursel, 16.6 tons; cabbage, 13.1 tons; flax, 85.8 stones of 14 lbs. ; hay, 2.0 tons. From the tables, it would appear that the yield of the wheat crop in 1858 was about the tenth of • barrel per acre above the average of the previous 10 years; whilst oats, barley, here, rye, potatoes, turnips, cabbage, flax, and hay were below the mean amebic produce for the salmi period. Tlii: lamsim Corar.—The Corporation of Dublin were thrown into a state of nervous excitement on Tuesday by the receipt of a letter addressed to the Lord Mayor by the Earl of Carlisle, in which his Excellency intimates his desire that the usual congratulatory address on bii resumption of the Viceregal MEW should be dispensed with. This communication has spread • panic among the citizens, and the old cry of Whig treachery" is raised, as the abolition of the Viceroyalty is said to bo darkly shadowed for in the letter id Lord Carlisle.
