TUE CROPS iN EUROPE.
The weather in England during the week
ending on the 22nd ult., has been variable.
in many pride of the country a good deal of
rain rias fallen, but generally net to suet
an extent a• to interfere with harvest ope-
rations. The last two or three days have
been drier. and very considerably colder ;
whilst in the northern part of Scotland, the
weather ha• be -n everything that could be
desired. Upon the whole the interesting
labours of the b have proceeded sat-
isfactorily, and are now being bronghl to a
close. it will he seen that the late down-
ward tendency of the corn market had been
checked. and a slight advance in prices has
taken place above the range of last week.
The unfavourable report. of the progress
of tho potato disease has been the chief
canoe of this reaction, Indian corn being •
little dearer up to date. No very large
supplies bare found their way to market ;
but, in a week or two the farmers will have
more leieure, and it will then be seen wile-
ther the late improvement will be maintain-
ed. Everything will depend upon the
eatent of the injury which may eventually
happen to the stock of potatoes in Ireland,
which at prevent has not been conjectured
with any degree ofcertainfy•
The potato@ disease is, beyond all doubt,
extending into several districts in Ireland ;
and the low prices of potatoea in the cone -
try is ettributa1 a in some degree to the.
alarm of the farmers, who are anximis to
dispose of their crepe. In the Dublin mer•
het, the supplies ofdisensed potatoes are in-
creasing. and the starch manufacturers are
purchasing largely. A farmer, from Sword,
near Dublin, sold several loads in a diseased
state, at 311. per stone ; but the disease is
very partial, end some kinds of potatoes ire
not at all affected. it is only in a very
slight degree in some parte of the -bounty
of Clare ; for instance, at Miltown and Mul-
berry the blight hoe net appeased, and the
pro -!taco is most abundant. Evoa still a
fair supply of sound potatoes may bedepen-
ded upon, '

be accused of deserting nay parts when 1
only riise the voice of warning, and seek to
avert the consecpiencee nI a threatened
storm, by speaking the plain truth, and
pointing to a rent danger. Mr. Baldwin
and his eolleagues must remember that
conciliation wish such an enemy as the To
ry Portion is defeat, and that to temporize
in the hour of victory is but 'cry prior gen-
eralship. There are three errors which it
would be well for the Military to avoid. -
The first is the retention n( violent politi-
cians, of any creel, as eubordmate officials ;
the second, the appointment of Conserv%
tires to the sake of pleasing the Conserva-
tive party : and the third, the selecion of
men who do not peewees one single claim
to the public confidence. for the filling of
some of the most responsible trusts in the
gift of the Crown. At this present time of
writing, tl.ere are ales three deplorable in-
*tenee* before the public of the folly of the
conr•e Minded to.
A Mr. Lee, a clerk in one of the public
offices in Montreal, has need the grossest
language, in *peeking of Lord Elgin, has,
withnnt disgei.e, ailed end abetted the
commtseinn of some of the late outrages,

mischief, become more defiant, and encou-
rage others in insubordmnation. There is
a moral cowardsce in ibis act, which cannot
meet with the sympathy or approval of Re-
formers.
It will be remembered that but a few

prived of all his offices of emolument, be
cause ho had io a most flagrant and unjust
manner, made • fare return, and rent to
Parliament a man who bad not a stogie
legal claim to a scat. The majority of the
people admired the courage which indefa-
tigably pursued this violator of mens cen-
ts/stemma, and' his degradation was hailed
with saosfaetion as being deserved and well
merited. What will they Ray, who thus
admired, when ti.ey learn that this Mr.
Vaas,ttart has been remade a Justice of she
Peace ! The Mtn•etry have, by their singu-
lar proceeding, place I themselres in a wrong
position ; and, ill mistake not, public opii-

the matter, that they will be grail to -retrace

joined in the demonstration of last week.
they might have spored what they, (unin-
tentionally, we suppose) style a Radical
triumph. !fad they come forward to pay
due respect to her Majesty's Representa-

demoaetration, but their sy.11pbatie rpirit
prevailed so far as to prevent them joining
in it --they could not join in that vetch they
could not have entirely to themselves -and
they stood aloof, only to exhibit their utter

in our last of the conduct of fonr K ear
Tory magistrates leaving the peace of th. .
Town at the mercy of a drunken band. The
Governor was coming to London !-and

might mark the life of the-finisbed courtier

of the 'rebel rewarding measure' and the
80 petitions to the winds, and with ebatae-
teristic meanness, forgetting the opposition
they had before then shown to the projected
visit, the four were off as fast no horse-

A Truly eplend:d eight was the procession
