Since last harvest our farming classes are driving 4 more profitable trade than had been the case since the close of the wars of Napoleon I., and there spems a fair chance of a continuance of their pros- perity for the time to come—provided always that no natoward event, such as unseasonable weather, arises to cause the next harvest to be a short one. In agricultural affairs generally, there has been a marked improvement within the past six or seven years, more ap oocel in the breeding and rearing of stock. ‘The improvement in this respect was potent to the most ordinary observer, at the sprin; exhibition of cattle and sheep, which was held las week at the Royal Dublin Society's premises in this city, and at which the col n of animals on show evidenced the most astonishing advance, and was indeed deserving of admi: mn, whether as regards the breeding stock, bulls, or milch cows, or heifers. {n sheep and swine, there was also a decided im- provement. The principal portion of the show was contained in the exhibition building, the southern hall, which formed the foreign department of the exhibition, being occupie! with the poultry coops, and in the compartments recently so attractive as the Fine Arts gallery end furniture court, the breeding stock and fat cattle were located. To what “beast” purpores even exhibition buildings may be turned to in these utilitarian days. Emigration from Ireland is proceeding at even in- creased speed since the opening of the present year. From this city and from Kingstown Pena are daily conveyed by steamers to Liverpoo! to take shipping for American ports, and the accounts which I receive from the provinces, almost daily, may be summed up inthe language of one of the chroniclers of the exodns—*the ery is still the; As might be expected, the emigration of the » bodied laborers tg beginning tetell on the labor mar- ket. What do you think of two shillings per day being the minimum rate of wages at present in the counties of Clare and Galway—where, “once upon ’ ¢. and a very long time it was,” sixpence a day was the maximum?, Trade generally has been unusually doll in all di- rections, In consequence of the warlike prospects. Our shopkeepers in cities and towns are doing very little business, and should thie state of things con- | tinue for any length of time, (and I fear it is very | likely to do so,) many who, wp to this time, have kept their heads above water, will be engulfed in ruin. The government securities are about thirteen | per cent lower than they were this time twelve months, and the share market has been proportion- | ately depressed. You can rearlily understand how igen this must react on a country so “cabin- ed, cribbed, confined,” as poor Ireland is, and has been within the memory of ‘‘the oldest inhabitant;” aye, and of his most venerable forefathers also. From the constant por om of troops at Cork and Kingstown harbors, one would be led to believe that Ireland will be soon denwied of military men. In the seasion of Parliament of 1852, an act was passed for the ing of 80,000 militia in England—the avowed 0} at that time being to take precautions against, ad 1 t 1“ upon the English coast by French tro = re sinvantar, Be, The troops of iperor Napoleon the Third are now in fraternizing with those of her Britannic M and more strange still, a letter from Portsmox the 19th instant, in the Morning Chronicle, st that “orders have been received to expedite the ( ting-up of the Queen’s yacht, the Victoria and A} ert, which is expected to be ready by the 10th of May, on which day her Majesty and family are to embark for a visit to the French capital.” 1 am not inclined to give fall credence to this announcement; aged ) © hear that at length we are rt communication direct from !re- w York, thanks to the enterprise of the * of Limerick, who are getting a steam ‘ » Brandon, of 250 b er, comploted; The m orse pow! ; pt i xpected iy start from the im Cor re good elty, with goods and passen; along riddle of June, BC.OP. | | Dosti, April 4, 1854. efforts.

Mr. Friend, feeling that a loan under such circumstances was really to be a gift in return for the complimentary critique, gave the money, and the “ accredited re- Pe ay took a friendly leave and went away. Mr. iend waited several days for the expected notice in the Times, but, as not ‘appeared, he thought the best way was to call at ‘imes office, to in- quire about the “ accredited reporter,” when he was informed that Mr. Butler was entirely uncon- nected with the Times fetid and that, conse- quently, he had been vi bya r.

[From the London Times, May 6. We request attention to a short notice of some magistrate at Marl! street, whieh will be found in our police of this day. The Times is toa certain extent interested in the case, but the public | are so in a far Lead degree. The facts are as fol- lows:—An exhibition has been lately opened in Re- gent street, of which Mr. W. F. Friend is the pro- etor. The subject of the entertainment offered is a diorama of Canada and the United States. Mr. W. Friend has but recently commenced operations; and no sooner was his exhibition fairly opened than he received a visit from a yn who come to speak to him on “particular .”” The gentleman was shown up, and professed to be a reporter from the T¥mes—an “accredited reporter.” Roguery loves a luxuriant phrase. ope os appears to have ——_ his business b; 1g, in a very intelligi- le manner, lay in his hands. He could either bless it or blast it at bis pleasure. At this point Mr. W. Friend did a very foolish thing: in place of — the impostor | summarily out of doors, he asked him to si down | and take a glass of wine. We are left to conjecture as to the turn conve between these two chapmen k, the one of whom wished to purchase, the other to sell, a modicum of praise in our columas. Mr. W.

HIS RESCUE AFTER AN ENTOMBMENT OF NINETSEN | st if! i ze g Ele if i Th fe of Lyet pace ised of Prance, have e in v4 for the fast pro tig ’ ‘literally been buried alive by the falling in of a well at which bee! had been working. One died, while the other, with the body of his dead Coy i ing upon him, held on with extraordi: fortitude, u oie by provisions which were let down to him at all times by gaps formed by the transverse beams, which fell in Such @ manner as to form a screen over his head. From the nature of the soil, gréat fears were formed that all efforts would fail. We find the following details in the Lyons journals of the 3d:— A. considerable fall of earth again took place two days ago in the well of Boule, and it was for a mo- mcnt feared that the adit was completely filled up. ‘Thanks, however, to the indefatigable zeal of ite workmen, and the skilful management of Captain Ro- binet, the mischief was Lege repaired. It is hoped thatthe prisoner will released on Thurs- day. On Saturday he received a visit from Mar- shal de Castellane, who, in addition to words of encouragemeut, brought him a bottle of Ma- deira, which he appeared to receive with as much gratitude as satisfaction. On Sunday evening Giraud made a substantial meal, composed of a cutlet and some glasses of Malaga. This ne: men is quite to his taste, and contributes not a little to make him bear his sad captivity with Serif We need not mention that his diet is regulated by the military surgeon, who visits him several times oder, and will not allow anything to be given that can injure his health. Although familiarized with the presence of the dead body, Giraud does not the less suffer from it. The body, which lies onan i clined plane, is sliding under him, and every day in- commodes him more and more. On Sunday the Pie ea visited Ecully, in order to ob- tain infor lon from Giraud relative to the circum: stances attendant on the catastrophe, as it is thought that euch an event could not occur without raising serious questions of responsibility. The de- clarations of the victim necessary for the examina- tion of the affair were received by Captain Robinet, who, having descended some yards into the well, transmitted the questions to Giraud, and received his replies. This kind of interrogatory continued about a quarter of an hour. The poor prisoner ap- pears to have made up his mind to all the con- Sequences of his situation. He will svarcely al- low any one ‘to speak to him of the hopes enter- tained, or to point out the Pipes ed day of his deliverance. He says that he is aware that pt Rote is making for his releace,end on which he has such firm reliance that 30 long ahe maintains his strength and courage, a day more or less is of little uence. The end of the adit is not, it is considered, more than ninety souiearnes from the place where Giraud stands. voice can be distinctly heard, and he to the questions’ put tohim. The interstice through which the wire of the bell passes, and through which his food is conveyed to him, is not more than about seven inches in diameter. The decom; of Gi- raud’s companion having to attract flies, i¢ has been found ne: to the opening with something which shall it their entrance, with- out intercepting the air and light which reach the prisoner through that orifice. ¢ Presse thus an- nounces the final success of the efforts made for the delivery of the hero of this extraordinary event :— “ We hasten to communicate to our readers a grati- fying piece of news which reached us just as we were going to press. The drama of ly is at am end. Giraud was delivered from his subterranean prison at 8 o'clock Fyre evening, in a most sa- tisfactory state.” As the well fell in on the Lith ult., Giraud had been in his dreadful place of con- finement, nineteen days. So great was the interest excited in high places, that the Empress received, by order, a telegraphic despatch every day. The Great Exhibition of France, {From the Paris Moniteur, April 29.)
