THE CHOPS , AND THEIR YIELD . This question is one which all are deeply interested in . It is now confessed on all hands that we have hut just escaped a threatened famine . Those who were "holding out" that "therewas not much to fear , " eren when we had week after week of cold and soaldngrain , now admit that the prospect wasfiighffol ; and that the last three weeks of comparative fine weather has alone saved the crops from ntfcrnun . B was then their tue to "blow hot /' * «*««« the reality was calculated to play " old Jaany - on 'Change , where consols and shares went "P down ™ & every gleam of sunshine and wuoauiuc
, every j * —* o" — - *» «* iutu every foil rt ¦ A T ^ " ^ s ^ Ses" were beginning -SS ^^ K ^ SVS rxf * Peace" whea **«• ™« every ^ obabihtyofthatmosttemficand mostnnappeasab te rf * H yas * -4 lfi WaroftkeleU , / Now that the most imminent danger is passed , these aame "best possible public instractors" "blow cold ; " tell us that we lave but just escaped actual famine ; that the danger was most appalling ; and that " it was all owing to that barbarous enactment— the Com Law . ' " And thus the people are played with .
The fact is , that we have escaped , and but just escaped , a most awful calamity . Another fortnight of Buch . weather as we had in the beginning of August ¦ w ould have rained the main of the crops . This bad ¦ ffeather was not caused by the Corn Law ; nor would a repeal of that law have had any influence in securing us sunny days . From all that can be gathered ltviOTui seem that most of foreign nations will have corn , little enough for themselves ; and had oar . ports been as " free and open" as the most thoroughgoing free-trader could desire , the supply of foreign Corn , in the event of our own harvest failing astlireat
• ened , would have been inadequate to our wants ; whilst we should have received a most terrible lesson of the advantages derived from " dependence os I 0 BEIGXEB 3 ! " They would have had every inducedent to withhold ; and would have witliheld , till We paid famine price 1 " It is all very well for the free-traders to draw reasons for their crotchet from every source ; and heaven knows they are not over nice vihtre they get them , so that they can cheat the understanding of the gulls they appeal to . Dr . Bokrixg once exclaimed that 4 t Free-trade was Jesds Christ—and Jf . xtik Christ
vras free-trade : " and he would the next moment Slave asserted that "free-trade was the Devil—and * the Dexb . was free-trade " if he had thought that ; 6 uca an assertion would have tidied hia hearers more than the other . But amidst all this "babble of - wonfe" about free-trade , and about a " law to secure a short supply of food , " the people will at once see the dictates of common sense on the matter ; which ^ ure , that , Corn-law orno Corn-law , fair trade orfreetrade , it is our duly to raise our own food AT HOME , -and exolgh op it in ordinary seasons to make up for deficiencies of supply in bad seasons . This we « an Jo by applying capital and labour to the soil , under such conditions as give SECUItlTY OF TENURE ; and until we do this we shall never be safe , but be at the mercy of those who will be sure to WLTEIIQIJ ) when we most need their aid .
Respecting our present prospects , the Mark-Line Express of Monday says : — The -weather , though cold and dull ,-has been dry during the greater part of the week ; and in those districts "Where the grain was previously ripe , there has been no interruption to cutting and carrying ; steady progress has therefore been made with harvest operations in all the southern counties , and a considerable proportion of the -corn has beea safely deposited in the lick yards . In the more backward parts of the kingdom the want of hot sunshine lias been seriously felt : and , unless we hare greater warmth , it is doubtful whetlier some of Vie late crops KtH ever arrive at maturity . Wherever thrashing has been commenced the tsobbce ob Wheat is found to mix shout of expectation ; and besides the complaints on this subject , the accounts of the quality are likewise , we are sorry to say , of a less satisfactory character Omitctnere
indacedtoliope might have proved Vie case . The weight per bushel , which is generally a good criterion for judging of the quality , is certainly from 2 to SB ) , per bushel less this than last year ; man ; of the samples brought forward at -the markets in the agricultural districts have not weighed morethaav 9 toC 01 b 3 ., " anilinstancesofyGto 5 Slbs . areb ) iio means rare . In addition to tlie actual loss from this cause , there will most protoUy he a further deficiency , in eoiisequenGC of the falling off in meal from a . given quantity of Wiieat ; and , on the whole , ic is to be apprehended that THE YIELD WILL BE DECIDEDLY BELOW THAT OF TiSOAL ATERA 6 E YEARS . At present -we haTe not sufficient data to form an estimate of the extent of the defidncy ; bnt we are , under all circumstances , inclined to UriukittciK ultimately he found to he rather important . Even from those counties from whence least has been "fceara of the defect in the ear , the reports have , since harresthas been proceeded with , become unfavourable .
Iu Scotland the weather seems to hare been of a similar character to that experienced'here , viz ., tolerably dry , hut cold . In the mostforward districts reaping has been p .-etty generally commenced , hut further north much corn will not be fit to cut till quite the end of the month . From Ireland the accounts are still oa the whole . favourable in respect to the weather and the crops . Jf ew Wheat , JJarley , and Oats had been brought forward -at all the principal markets in the southern portions of the island , mostly of fair quality , and hi tolerable condition . In addition to this , it has to be stated , that the accounts of the disease in potatoes multiply on every hand . It seems to have extended itself throughout Europe . The Journal of Commerce would wake it " appear that on most parts of the Continent the crop 5 s almost an entire failure . It says : —
We have already referred to the disastrous results o the potato crops in Prance and Belgium ; and the following extract of a letter from Amsterdam gives some interesting intelligence on the same subject : — "The -calamity with regard to our potato crop is increasing ; and we are sure that only oue-thivd of the usual quantity of an average crop will be fit for consumption . When it ¦ was perceived that ibe winter potatoes were suffering , a . good many families laid in a small stock of summer potatoes , which the farmers guaranteed as being Sound and fit to be kept for sis or ten months ; hut although these potatoes were in excellent condition when delivered , they could not be kept for eight or ten days . The
summer potatoes will last us till November and December . Ihe winter potatoes in the fields arc iu a most deplorable -condition . Some hopes were eutcrtaiued that the potatoes in the Dawns , between the Hague and Haarlem , were safe ; but , unfortunately , we had accounts yesterday that they suffer in the same manner , and turn rotten . "We are at a loss to say where to get potatoes from , as the same calamity i- > spreading hi the neigbbouring / sountries —Belgium , Trance , England , and the IforiU QjIGermauV . Xoue have yet been able to discover the mtaal cause of the sickness . Some say it is a . poisonous mildew ; others think that the potatoes grew too fast in June or July . "
In our country , this unaccountable " rot" is found to be very prevalent : so much so , that the agricultural chemists are devising means if possible to counteract the disease ; or where that cannot be done , to save for use the only portion of the " damnable root" as Cobbett called it —( and with the use to which it has been put in Ireland , he was more than justified in so designating it)—which is ¦ nutritious , —the starch ; and which it seems is not affected . To effect the first object ; to counteract the
disease itself , it is recommended that 1 cwt . of chloride of lime mixed with 3 cwt . of salt , should be applied to the affected crop , per acre , either by strewing it around the plant , and immediately covering it in—or , if the weather be diy , in the shape of liquid , mixing 1 lb . of the mixture to every gallon « f water . The mode of making the most of the ««>? , whore the disease cannot be stayed , is fully ex plained in the following letter , by Mr . Uebaeath , tie eminent demist of Bristol ;— .
, " "• — % ¦ attention has been given to the disease which « as shewn itself so extensively amongst the growing Potatoes . I find , in almost every instance , that the ypiaenuis of the state below the surface of the ground ^ aoreor less in a state of decay , often disintegrated , and ^ opletdyroUen ; tbeleares and branches accord with the «« teof fliatpartofthestalkbelowtheground . The tuber , Death the outer stin , is first spotted brown ( like a ^ msed apple ) ; these spots extend and penetrate towards Th !* n tre > finite changing the nature of the potatoe . « 05 e near the surface are roost injured ; in some cases ei jj
Owest ontlle TOQt aran ( jt at aU aff ,.,. ^ e tne ^ pa- ones are useless . I should therefore expect that ^ e longer the crop remains in the laud , the greater the IT wiU he . It seems , from the microscopic appeared , that the starch escapes injury for a long thne '* T t" 6 skin and ceUular parts are gone ; and as the sta - ° ae nutritiTe powers of the potatoe reside in the ha- \ ** shou 3 d « coaimeud that wherever the disease s aiWu itsetf to any extent the crop should be dug eaier pjpe OT aotj aad ^ starcll extraCl - ty tlio lua «» ing simple

MR . O'CONNOR AND HIS BELGIAN TOUR . Mb , O'Cossok , in accordance with the announcement in last week ' s Star , started for Belgium on Saturday evening last . It would be Monday mid-day ere he arrived at Brussels , we believe ; and the time of the Post starting after that , to reach us on Thursday , would be so short that he would not have time to make any observations worth writing about . No doubt but next week we shall have a good budget from . him .

For instance , say that Edward Hobson , of Ashton , has £ 10 to transmit he is to transmit the same to Mr . O'Connor , by Bank
letter or PosUffice order , made payable to W . P . ifoBerts . That order I can sign when I go to London , or when a parcel of them are sent to me . The two only things required to secure the triumph of Labour ' s battle are , union among the working classes , and undeviating honesty and punctuality on the part of ihoae who hare the management of their affairs . I therefore adopt this plan , that we may hare upon each other as many salutary checks as possible . This is advisable ^ as much for our own mutual satisfiiction , as for the satisfaction of the subscribers . I therefore request that these plain
and simple instructions may be punctually attended to la au cases . To save additional postage , each letter containing a money order , may also contain a list of the respective sums , and all other information necessary for the general secretary , Mr . "Wheeler , to have ; which letter Mr . O'Connor will duly forward to him . This done , there can he no puzzle about the accounts . W . P . Robebts , Treasurer .

A Constant Re . * deb , Halifax . —Mr . Cooper ' s " Hebrew Guide" is not J published . It will be no doubt some day , when the price will be announced . "W . Jesnings , Holbobn . —We cannot answer his query ; hut think it likely that the answer returned him by the American Consul will be correct . His best way Of satisfying himself will be to cause inquiries to bo made in America itself . Has he no friend there he could ¦ write to ? A Regular Sobscbibeb , Stockpoet . —The best way would be for the party to return , and obtain possession of all the clothing that is Tier own . As Englishman . —TVe must decline to publish his letter . He has not furnished us with his name , not afforded us any means of ascertaining that he is privy
to the " authenticity" of the documents quoted by a "Polish Democrat" against Major Uenioivski . Tbe Tonsh Democrat did not so act . Ho at once gave bis name ; and he moreover refer red us to a distinguished foreigner , whose name and patriotism iskcown over all the civilized world , to whom the article had been shewn , and who was cognizant of the facts therein set forth , and averred tlic-ir truth . Independent of this , there are speculations started by " An Englishman" in his letter , relative to tbe propriety of " foreigners" aiding Englishmen in their efforts to "bring about a new order of things , " which might lead to much misapprehension , and be productive of mischief . ThiS | therefore , would detida us mot to publish the letter , even had the writer giren his name . We thank " An Englishman" for pointing our attention to the articles in the two publications he names .
Hen'HT Helliwell , Todjiobden , should-have had more sense than to bet on a matter of business tlmt did not belong to him : and lie should have had less impudence than to ask us to make him out a "balance sheet" in a matter with which he is not in the slightest concerned , according to his own statement ; only that he wants to settle who ought to pay " glasses round . " We can tell him for his comfort , that he has to pay ; though . the matter was not as his antagonist stated . Still he was nearer the uuth than Henry Htlliwell . P . Goodfeuow , Stodkjjeidce . —In the Annual Finance Accounts for the year 1 SJ 4 , ending Jan . 5 , 1 S 40 , the amount of duties paid on glass , with the amount of drawbacks , is set forth as follows : — GLASS DDTtSS .

Ratcliffe having replied for himself . lVe shall ' ook over his letter again , and if there is any point discussed , other tlmn those contained in Mr , Ratcliffe ' s communication , the public shall have the bentfit of it . TV . S ., Belfast . —We have not yet had time to read his communication . T ' -ere is little doubt but tint it will appear : for we wish the question to be thoroughly discussed , convinced tlmt it is one of surpassing interest to the members of the Odd Fellows' Institution , totally
independent of-the quarrels of the men pitted against each other . It is manifest that the Society contains within its constitution the seeds of disease and dcath ; and unt'l those are rooted out , the Society will never know tzu £ life . It shall not be our fault if the members ( 10 not see the Kay in -which they can do this : it will rest with themselves whether they follow it or not . This we shall do . totally irrespective of persons : for in the Order we may say that ive know nobody—and will know nobody , only by their acts . If the members will only act in the same spirit , and eschew all partisanship , they will soon set themselves right , and make themselves and their Order a paticrn of iru najement and system . John WabD , Babkslet , writes to correct the report of
a meeting held in that town a short time apo , and reported in last Saturday ' s . Stir . It was there set foi th ihat the meeting was a crowded one ; whereas he says the room was not a guarter full . " We know not iota sent us that report , but have no doubt the statement was inserted as sent . We-wish those who do forward report , of meetings to state facts , only facts . Let us have the truth : for untruth , however it may deceive at first , will be discovered in the end , and tell wofully against those who use it .

The coachman , Newman ( a most steady driver ) , continued toJio ] dthe reins , and was irucli injured by being dragged and bruisedv
We regret to say a Jady , who was a passenger , had her arm broken ,-and thve& other passengers were so much hurt that they were compelled to return to Norwich . A gentleman , a London traveller , was very mueh cut and contused about the face and head ; but came on by another coach , for which a messenger was sent to Norwich , and which continued the journe }' , arriving at Suffolk Hotel , in this town , two hours later than usual . Every attention was paid to the sufferers that humanity could suggest , and the gentleman who arrived at Suffolk was going on well when our informant lost inquired .
Fatal Accident on the South Eastebs Railway . —An accident , involving loss . of life , happened on Monday morning in the Archcliffe Tunnel on the South Eastern Railway , a short diatance from the Dover terminus . One of the porters , named John Hill , whose particular duty was to assist in removing trucks , engines , &c ., in the vicinity of the terminus , was directed to move aa engine down the line to the shedding near the Archcliffe Tunnel . The poor fellow promptly proceeded with the order , but on the engine passing through the tunnel he imprudently jumped on the step , and was literally jammed against the wall . On the engine emerging from the tunnel the unfortunate creature was discovered quite dead , having evidently been killed instantaneously . Fatal Railway Accidext . —An accident took place
on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on Thursday morning about one o ' clock , which was attended with the death of George Macklin , one of the guards . It appears that Macklin has been employed on the line for only four months , and in accordance with a custom which provides that all new guards be appointed to the charge of luggage trains as an initiatory step , he had charge of a train of this kind which left Glasgow at eleven o'clock on Wednesday night . The train reached Linlithgovv in safety , where one of the trucks was to be left , and for the sake of convenience it was the last in the train . It was in connection with this particular truck that Macklin lost his life ,
but as no person saw the accident , the particulars of it cannot be given witli certainty . From the position , however , in which the body was found , it is supposed to have occurred as follows : —Before the train had been fully stopped he had swung himself on the buffers of the second last truck in order to save himself the trouble of running forward and uncoupling the last one at the proper time ; and while in this situation , he had fallen down on the rail , and immediately the remaining truck passed over his body . The unfortunate man was quite unable to speak , and died in about a quarter of an hour afterwards . — Scotsman .
Accident on the Brighton TUhata ? . —On Mona . ay morning , as the seven o ' clock mixed train from Brighton was approaching the Clayton Tunnel slowly , in consequence of the slippery state of the rails from the fog , a pilot engine proceeded to its usual station at Ilor ' ey , came up with the train , and struck the last carriage , a third class , which was unhooked from the train . The passengers in that carriage suffered a severe shock , and many of them jumped out ; in so doing , Mr . Neale , of Fleet-street , printer , was cut in the foot , and others sustained some bruises , amongst whom was a lady , of Claphnm . No injury accrued to the engine or carriage . Tbe train was immediately stopped , and the carriage re-attached , and all the passengers , excepting a lady and gentleman , who , we believe , from alarm and not from injury , returned to Brighton , were brought forward to their respective destinations in safety .

The ironworks in question extend over a vnst extent of country , and , ibr the purpose of a speedy transit from one part to the other , railways have been established , one of wliica is formed on an incl' mud planddown which the heavily laden waggons are propelled at a fearful rate . On the morning of the above day , while one of the train of waggons was passing down , two very old women , each being nearly seventy years of age , labouring under defective sight as well a 3 hearing , got on the Jiue . A few seconds more , they must both have
been inevitably crushed to death .

Fib * on Walwwith Comjmo . —On SunJay nigkt , shortly after ten O ' clock , a fire broke out i » the premises belonging to Mr . Grogaa , oil-cloth manufacturer and japanner , carrying on business in Princesplace , Walworth-common . It originated , from some cause unknown , in about the centae of the manufactory , a building between 50 and 60 feet long , and which was filled with goods , some finished and ethers partly so . Owing to the very inflammable nature of the stock , the flames broke through the roof of the building with great fury , and for some time the neighbourhood was illuminated . The light caused a general turn-out of the engines , and those from Soutliwavk-bridge-road , Waterloo-road , and the West
of England stations , with one from Cliandos-stveet , arrived at the scene within five minutes of each other ; these were followed by others belonging to the Brigade and the County-office . By that time , however , the entire building was on fire from end to end , and strong apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the surrounding habitations . The different neighbours , from the first alarm , exerted themselves to the utmost in removing everything : near the manufactory of acombustibie character , and the water being abundantly supplied , one ensiinc was set to work , and the flames were entirely extinguished before twelve o ' clock , not , however , until tho building was razed to the ground , and the valuable stock destroyed .
Destructive Fire at Brixton . —At about halfpast ten o ' clock on Saturday , a fire broke out in the extensive premises occupied by Mr . W . Glanviile , carpenter and builder , situate in the [ middle-road , Brixton , near the church . Some idea may be formed of tho intensity of the heat sent forth from the burning mass , when wo state that the fruit growing on the trees in the immediate vicinity was actually roasted . Horrible Outrage at the Cavalby Depot at Maidstone . —On Monday night last , between the hours of twelve and one , a most cruel and mysterious outrage was perpetrated at the Cavalry Depot in this town . At the time iu question , the night being dark and rainy , a sentry , posted at the stables behind the
ndtng-school , and , as is usual at that station , locked out of the barracks , was suddenly seized , on turning a corner on his beat , by four or five men , gagged tvith a piece of sacking , aud a clothes line taken from the drying ground just by , and carried to a clothes post , to which he was tied in such a manner that he could neither speak , see , nor very well hear , being also threatened with instant death by means of Ills own sword if lie attempted to stiv . The poor fellow remained in this state , occasionally visited by his assailants , till nearly one o ' clock , when it was his turn to be relieved , and when he was found by the guard in the most deplorable condition , so exhausted as to be unable to speak . The serjcant of the guard inspected the neighbourhood of
the post , but nothing could be seen to account for the atrocious attack on the man , until the morning , when it was found that a valuable grey pony , belonging to the Countess of Ronmey , which had been sent to the depot to be broken iu , liad been taken from Olio of the stables on the sentinel ' s beat , taken into the barrack field , and most cruelly ill-used , one of its legs being broken above the knee , and its nose completely knocked away , by a tremendous blow from some blunt instrument . The poor animal ' s instant release ivom its sufferings by shooting it was inevitable . How these injuries were inflicted cannot be exactly ascertained , though pools of clotted blood were discovered in the manege in front of the stables , and
a portion * of the wall of the manage had evidently been driven above an inch out of the perpendicular by a violent blow or struggle . A most mysterious circumstance in the affair is that the Stable tldOl had been unlocked and carefully locked up again , and the keys deposited in their proper place in the sentrj-box , while , tho further to avoid suspicion , the usual challenge and reply , " All ' s well , " which at certain intervals is passed from sentry to sentry , was duly given at the proper time , though with a trifling variation from strict accuracy . A court of inquiry , we hear , has been held at the barracks , buD the proceedings were strictly private , and the result has not yet transpired . We heartily hope that _ the brutal perpetrators of the outrage may be discovered and punished as they deserve .

The poor girl , after haniag in vain asserted that she was innocent , was flogged by an officer » J" police until the pain became so severe , that to obtain lelie ? she confessed that she was- guilty . According to ihe law in Brunswick the trial took place in secret * and upon documentary evidence only .

A Legal Scouxdsel . —At tile Surrey Sessions , on "Wednesday , George Richavd Fitfc was indicted ; for dc&audtng Isaac t'Bonias I ' earraainof sums ot-m , oney amounting to ££ 12 s . 6 d v under various gcetonccs , li » at the same tiiao acting as . attorney to th © prosecator in a casa at the- late * Surrey assizgs . Jfrom the evidence oi" thc ' prosecntw it appeared that their son had been in tho eounty gaol for some months , previous to the last Surrey assize 3 , on . a felonious chavgc , i \ s& that wishing to have professional assistance on Ms behalf , they employed tho defejiilant to act ; and supplied him with money to retain Mr . Gharnotk , tho barrister . This occurred a few weeks previously to the assizes ; and on a subsequent occasion he proceeded ta the prosecutor ' s residence at Thavses Ditton , and informed him that the charge
against Iiia son had assumed a move serious aspect than might nave- first lien anticipated , and tliatin consequence Mr . Charaock had desired him to say that ho would require another counsel to assist ix » undertaking the defence , as he could not possibly talk and work against tllD tlireo who had been i £ - taiucd for the prosecution ; the latter words he yur ticularly ascribed to have b ? cn used by the gentloiaan referred to . Owing to such representation the defendant received the sum of two guineas , though at the time the prosecutor and h : < j wife were suffering great distress . On another occasion the defendant said he would require the sum of 10 s . Cd . for drawing up a . petition to a society which was established forth © puroose of assisting poor . persons , and which he w ? s conndent would award the sum of £ 10 on presentation by Mr .

cordingly , and on seeing the prosecutor . is wife a few days afterwards , he infouued them chat the application had been successful , and that they would receive . the £ 10 at the termination of the Vial . The prosecutor , however , soon found that th ' jre had been no truth ir any of the above stateme nts . The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty , and the chairman in passing sentence , observed that after receiving the necessary sums for conducting the defence of prosecutor ' s son , the defendant thought proper by gross misrepresentations to exact other amounts , which he ( the clialv ^ an ) -was infoi-uied were actually the proceeds of sale ot the poor man's bed . In justice to tho ctoss to'which the prosccutov belonged , as well as to tb e public in general , he would , j therefore , pass a sctite \) cc of twelve months' imprisonment on the dei ' ew ant , with hard labour .
