Tbe PotaSo TJisEiSE . — accounts of the potato disease give , to say the least of them , no cause for any additional alarm . The vetum 13 described as being most abundant , and amply sufficient to enable the country to -bear a partia damage vf the crop , however the intery nii ght affect individuals . The Cork Hqmner of Saturday has the following on the subject : — " This morninp , a most EteUigent ; and trustworthy gentleman told ns that in the neighbourhood of Blarney , several fields in ¦ w hich the symptoms of disease had appeared , have , sfece the rain of the last -conple of days set in , tjegun to look healthy once more , and the diseased stalks to acquire riew . verdure . " Afire , very destructive in its consequences , broke out in Dublin xm Mosday morning . It was first discovered in the shop t ) f Mr . Donnelly , the extensive . hosier , in Westmoreland-street : and , as it
burned wita great "violence , the inmates -were rescued with , great difficulty , and the names having extended to the adjoining premises of the Royal Exchange . Insurance Company of London , they were not effectually subdued until the two large houses were completely consumed , and some of the adjoining ones slightly injured . The papers of the Insurance CoiBpauy ¦ were saved , aad Mr . Donnelly ' s concerns were , it is said , amply , insured . .: A destructive fire broke out in . the Kantnrk TForkhouscon Friday evening week , by which in a few horns tbe entire building of the main house , the
dining hnli , kitchen , bake-house , mill , and a part of the southern tring was barned to the ground , nothing left of . this fine- building but the ¦ walls—a part of Ibe bedding was saved ; no lives lost ... The Sre was accidental , and the . building is insured . The funeral of the Earl of Dunraven took place on Saturday , the remains of the deceased nobleman being 'deposited in the mausoleum erected by himself 5 n Adare churchyard . Over 4 , 000 persons are said to have assembled to pay the last tribute to his memory . Lord Adare , now Earl of Danraven , has arrived at Adare Castle . - :
A"great storm and high tide took place last week in the Lower Shannon . * " The tide overflowed some embankments and committed extensive ravages in the district near the new , road in course of construction to Mungret . ¦• ' " ± Eleven convicts Tinder sentence of transportation leffected their escape from the gaol of Maryborough last week , and none of them have yet been arrested . TheHabvest . —The acconnts of tbe potato are generally less unfavourable ; but some , from Tipperary and Wesford especially , are quite dish ' eart-€ ning * A letter from Xraagh says ^ - " The potato crop is more than half gone in this neighbourhood . " On the other hand , a letter from Macroom mentions
that the potato fields in that quarter , since the heavy xain , are again wearing a healthy appearance . The Cork Reporter has an account to the same , effect from Blarney , 'where , it is staled , " several fields in which the symptoms of disease bad appeared have since the rain of the last few days begun to look healthy once more , and the diseased stalks to acquire new verdure . " Altogether the reports are more favosrablo than might have been expected , as regards the eeri-al as well ' as the potato crops . "Wheat is deficient in most parts of the southern and midland counties ; but appears to be a pretty fair crop in Down and other northern counties . Oats are every where a very fine crop .

He did not know how the public money could-be .. better employed than in effecting the objects which the bill , contemplated . Sir G .

In the case of tho largo collieries , it : could-the of no , use ,. because it could add nothing . to'tlie .. pi-eoautions already . taken to preveaf'accidents ; ,: Take .. the colliery -with winch he was connected ; ono ' of , ths largest'in the kingdom . , They employed men . ofrfirskrato talent to watch-over the , safety . of the workings of . tbo nits ,-and employed about-1 , 500 men and'boys .

He very , much'doubted whether iif" would : not do more harm-. than good in their ense by removing a portion of that responsibility which now rested entirely on the owners to thb shoulders of the inspector . This ? sort of legislation was becoming voi ; y fashionable in the house , but he doubted the policy of legislative interference in such : matters , move'particularly . in this case ' where it- was impossibloto supply- individual prudence 1 by act of parhamenf ... 'Bufc . he-was anxious above all that the coal owners ' and workmen should understand distinctly that this bill can afford them no-guarantee against accidents arising , as mostof ^ . henvdo , from the - . want . oficare--and rashness of tha , workmen ; He , should be ? thankful if- accidents were-not : increased by . tho bill ; i : if-: . : " : I ¦ . ¦ : • ' . ¦ ¦ > .-,,,
Mr .

I on atneliorative rrieasiires'lfor that ' . country . ; ' . ' . But ; v at nojimo > heri " his hoh . ' friend the ^ raetriber ! or : ' ; Montroso brought forward his riieasiire for iia- - proving the representation , did mOrp . than 17 Irish members , vote with . him . He thought , however , . it-wpula . be better if both sides would now bury in oblivion , their , mutual neglect , and unite for the future in suppoTting measures , that would be for thebonefit of . both islands . ' llo . then referred to ' the circumstances coBnected with Ireland whoa ¦ tho present Ministry , came into office . When the late lamented , statesman , Sir Itobert Peel
determined to remove ; tno iJorn-iaws ,. he , with , a high , sense ofhonour resigned hia seat as Prime Minister , and advised her Majesty to . call to hbr pOiin * sols the noblu lord now af the head of the government . But from some reasons the noble lord , was unable to form- ^ . government , and ho could , assure the noble lord itwasamost fortunate circumstance he could not ; for he ( Mr . Thompson ) had never heard tho . two individuals compared together without its ; being admitted on all hands that , in . point , of sagacity ; and decision , of wisdom , to conceive , of firmness to carry out , and I of parliamentary eloquence to expound his plans , public confidence was reposed , not in the noble lord , but in the lamented statesman , whom the
noble lord , by an unnatural combination with hia political enemies , drove from , power , ; and , to tho misfortune of tho country , had ever since continued to hold office on sufferance . -At that time there could bo no doubt that in many parts of Ireland the people wero in a disorganised state , and crane and outrage were alarmingly frequent . ' A bill to repress such a-state of things was brought in by Sir Robert Peel ' s Government , and passed-the-House . of Lords , without any objection . But when ifc was brought into this hougo , what was the conduct of noble lords and right hon . gentlemen now t on the Treasury : Bench ? - If they were right then , i they were clearly wrong now . If they . wove right now , then the annals of political strife in this
country presented no parallel to the conduct pursued bythe present governmenfc ; with a view to unseat their politicalopponents , and obtain power for themselves . When the bill was brought forward for a first reading , the noble lord and his friends stayed away , hoping that the then government : would be delivered into the hands of the Philistines—the Protection party , headed by . Lord G . ; Bentinck . On the second reading , the compact between the Whigs and the Protection party was . completed , and the bill , was- opposed by . every member of the Cabinet . and holder of office in the present house , and tho then existing govcrnraont was overthrown . Now , if there was any member on the Treasury bench who valued his character for
consistency and integrity ; he was bound to get upl and explain how it was that he thought a coercive measure unnecessary in 1846 , and that a more severe measm-o : was necessary in 1850 . Tho reason why the bill was opposed at that time was that remedial measurfis . ought to precede measures of coer . cion . ; 'When the' noble lord came , into office he struggled on for sixteerimbnths without attempting measures of . coercion , but things got worse , and remedial measures tho noblo . lorfl hsid none . Indeed be ( Mr . G . Thompson ) would maintain that so long as the church of Ireland existed , as . an exclusive and dominant church in the midst , of seven millions of people who dissented ' from its . dbctrines , all other measures would be in vain . ¦ In ! Si 7 the noble lord
was reduced to the abject arid humiliating condition , of proposing to ; the house substantially tho same measure , which he had rejected when brought in by . tho preceding governriient . Ho admitted that the government made out a strong case , and with overwhelming majorities ' thcy obtained their measure , having distinctly promised that remedial measures should bb ' almost immediately brought in . That measure was . now about ' to expire , and the present bill had been brought in to continue it . ¦ Had they made out a ' caso for it s continuance ' ? Ho found by the returns that" 618 outrages had been reported to . . have been committed duriug the last . six months of 1849 , and ? 2 C during the first six months of 1850 . But they were . iuformed by the . right hon . baronet
the member for . Ripon that tho increase of outrages in l&lo ' over 1844 , was 1 ) 975 "j . that is to ' say , the whole number of outrages , in 1 S 49-50 was 630 less than the mere increase of outrage in 18 i 5 over the preceding year l 8 ii . Sow , ' lie asked whether , if this , had been , the state of things in 1 S 47 , would the noble lord havo then proposed a coercive measure ? or jf there had been no coercive measure now in existence , whether ho would now 'propose it I In either case he thought tho noble lord would frankly answer no ; and if he would : not do it under Buch circumstances , , why did he propose it now ? lie did
not . mean to say that this measure if passed would be one of gi ; eat practical oppression . He believed , that ' the riqble lord who had charge of the interests of the country in Dublin would not call the aotinto operation vfithout tho ; clearest evidence that it was necessary ; but he maintained that its existence would do no good , that it -would tend , to irritate the popular . -mind , and in that way to injure , thecause of good , government . While , therefore , ; , ha had ; no sympathy-with those who were driven by poverty to commit crime ; yet feeling the measure ' was unnecessary . and exasperating , he would more that it bo read a third time that day three months .-
' Mr . Moore said the honourable-gentleman-hacD passed a strong invective . on . Irish members and a warm eulogium on liimself ; arid had contrasted theinditfererice . and apathy of Irish members with the activityandzcalarid diligence of himself : and his friends . " But if Irish' members were' indifferent'to the reforms contemplated by , the ' . honourable member for Montrose , ' lie would ' remind the , house that " only thrco Englisli members had . voted against therenewal . of the ' suspension of . the / Habeas Corpus Act . " He ' received thb support of the" honourable , member with gratihide ,. though it " would bo morewelcome if accompanied . with less ' of self-laudation , ( ilear . lieai ' . ) He had great pleasure in secoridintt the motion . . ' ' B '
., Mr ., M . J . 0 ' CoNXEUi said that twenty Irish members had voted for the motion of the honourable member . for Montrose—not seventeen , as thc hon . member fqr tho Tower Hamlets had . stated ; hut if as many English members in proportion had voted for the motion it would have had a much stronger chance of bciiigjcarried . Ho would oppose the bill now boforb tlie " house ; but he must in common fai rne ^ s . say . that this bill was not the same as was proposed ; in' lSiO—itiwas the mildest coercive measui-e . tha . t-had ; ever been , pvoposedj and for that reason he bclioved it had been thomost effective in itsresults . . , ,. , , , ... ... .. ,. - ..., )•¦ ,,,- ¦¦¦ . ... . ...
Mr . W . 'WiMiUMs said' thb measure introduced by the latoSir Robert Peel in 1840 was , in his opinion , a much m ildci ; .. measure than the . present ; -but at any rate both wore obnoxious , and ho thought , as tho noble lord at tho ; head- of the governmerit thought in 1846 , that .- Ireland required re--. mediai , rather . thaji ; coercive measuvos . But aow he found that , after four years , Ireland was left entirely as she wasr nothing-had been done to remedy ; hoi :, grievances , and she was still governed by standing armiesiand coercive acts . Still , itthe tliought . a , single murder would be prevented by the passing of this : act he would be tho last man to oppose it , degradiug-as if . was . to , Ireland ; But what ( lid ^ hesociimos proceed from ? It was tho hand
of the oppressed against the oppressor . They he ; u-d mnuh of these crimes , but there w . ere : other crimes as atrocious , of which they had heard rio « thintf .- Look at the evictions which ; were " so-fre- quontly talcing place ,, by whioluhuhdreds of families woro exposed to , starvation ~ was ; : that . a ; condition : of things that . ouglit to exist . ? .-: . Tho noble lord had the ! power , by making a ' . proper : relation between landlord and tenant , to ^ -stay the ; ihand of the . assassin , and stop ,, tho effusion of . blood in Ireland . He had seen the ; condition / of " tiiib . serfs in the worst parts of-Russia j ho' had seen the several tribe ' s ' of ihe ; North American .

America ' , where all men were equal , and where ' parnes nocked from all the rialions of the earth to improve their condition ,-he fouiid the Irish sucee ' ss * tnlly competing with the English , the Scotch , the Germans , . tho Fveneh , and . thb Dutch . The only reason then , why they were so wretched at home waa misgovornment ; and the noble lord would be much better employed in removirig ' tlidt ' misgbverrime ' nt * than in . passing ndditioHal coercion' laws , of , whioh ¦ they had had too many already . , ' " ¦ ' ' ' ' R ') Aftor'a"few words from Sir ' .
