Reported Murder*of a Landlord—Fatal As- sault on the Police, Lonpon, August 15, 1868. Despatches have just been received from Ireland giving the particulars of deeds of lawlessness which occurred yesterday near Tipperary. It seems that while one of the great landlords of that region, named Mr. Scully, was serving the ‘usual notices on his various tenants he was shot and killed by some unknown person, A strong body of police soon after made their ap- Pearance on the scene of the murder, and attempted ‘to arrest the culprit. The police in turn were flercely attacked, and two of them shot dead and four badly ‘wounded. Several arrests were subsequently made. At the latest advices quiet had been restored. Mr. Scully Not Killed=Serious Excitement. Lonpon, August 15—Evening. Further advices from Tipperary, Ireland, have been received this evening. The agent of the land- lords, Mr. Scully, was not killed as at first reported. He endeavored on Tuesday to serve some ejectment notices upon several tenants in the vicinity of the ‘town of Tipperary, when he was attacked by a large body of them, including many women, and was ‘obliged to flee into the city to save his life. Yesterday he started again upon the same errand, accompanied by a large body of well armed police. Upon reaching the hamlets of the tenantry his efforts to serve the notices were met with derision and ‘threata of violence. The police endeavored to dis- perse the mob, whena fierce fight ensued, during ‘which the police fred upon the rioters several times, the shots being returned by some of the crowd. Sev- eral of the mob were wounded, as were a number of the police. Mr. Scully was seriously wounded, and the police retired unable to make any arrests at the time, The county of Tipperary is in a high state or ex- citement and further trouble is apprehended.

Soon after the adjournment of Congress requisi- tions were received at the War Department from the Governors of several of the lately reconstructed States for arms to equip the State militia, It seemed to be understood that the arms could be fur- nished by the Secretary of War under the provision of an act of Congress passed in 1796; but Secretary Schofield has replied to the Governors who made requisitions that no arnts could be issued to the militia under the act mentioned, and that further legislation would be necessary before arms could be furnished. The decision of the Secretary hasecreated No little excitement among the carpet-bag Governors ofthe South. They have the dread fears of certain radical Senators, who were so clamorous to have the military peace establishment bill carried through before ailjournment, about to be realized,. and their governments started on their travels anew by the terrible Ku Klux Klan, The Governors have united in an appeal to Congress to meet on the third Monday in Septembef without fail and secure them the much needed.

Tmportant Statistics of Production and Trade. Director Delmar, of the Bureau of Statistics, fur- nishes the following important recapitulation rela- tive to production and trade :— In 1840 the value of our agricultural, mining and fishery products was $667,000,000, and of our total domestic exports, which consisted chiefly of the raw materials of husbandry, mining and fishing, 106,000,000; proportion sixteen per cent. In 1850 the value of the product was $1,043,000,000, and of the exports 000,000; proportion nineteen per cent. In 1860 the value of the product was $1,739,000,000, and of the exports $382,000,000; pro- Portion twenty-two per cent; and in 1867 the value of gee was $1,391,000,000, and the exports $334, ; proportion eighteen per cent. The iculars are given at great length in Mr. Delmar’s official report, and the data may be relied upon as correct. The sums are all in gold. The products were valued at their Ugesion of production and the exports at the place of shipments, These figures develop the fact that our export trade, which in 1860 reached its culminating point, as campared with the product has since declined and is now rela- tively no further advanced than it was a quarter of acentury ago. Director Delmar attributes this re- markable result to several causes, prominent among which was the war. The great ‘olling of produc. tion during this period is but little known; but in agriculture, the products of which form nineteen- twentieths of the total product, the decrement was very large, as is illustrated by the sts wheat crop. In 1859 the wheat cro) 173,104,924 bushels, the population at tl about 31,000,000. There are no reliable agricultural statistics for 1860 and 1861, and even for subsequent years the estimates for several reasons are to be re- ceived with caution. In 1862 the wheat crop was reported at 177,957,172 bushels, in 1863 at 173,667,928 bushels, and in 1864 at 160,695,823 bushels—a short crop. In 1866 it was rted at 148,522,827 bushels, @ very short crop. In 1866 it 1s givén at 175,000,000 bushels, and in 1867 at 212,000,000 bushels; but the Director hesitates to adopt the estimates as con- clusive, as other facts appear to indicate that the Sc sonia. ire — prem 80 large. From 1862 clusive the figures only represent the cro} of the States not in insurrection. ‘2 .

The proportion of agriculturists in the United States to total industrial population was in 1840 sixty-five per cent, in 1850 sixty-three per cent and in 1960 Bf recent. The population returns of 1866 and jo not show the occupations of the people. From these facts it would result that our agricul- tural interests have been sensibly depressed and still continue 80, a8 indicated by a wheat crop of increas- ing disproportion to population by a large falling off in the wheat exports and by the continued high prices of this and other agricultural staples. These phe- nomena are attributed mainly to the war and ita at- tendant circumstances. The gradual tendency of the population to desert the pursuit of husbandry ts due to other causes, but whatever the cause it 18 to be seriously deplored. Director Delmar has just issued his monthly report for June, 1863:— The value of the total import entries for the month ‘Was $33,112,906, against $41,922,915 the same period last year; $34,706,123 in May, 1868; $34,376,097 in Aprii, 1868, and_ $30,209,125 in March, 1868. This shows a decided ak off in the imports. The following details will prove of interest:— The en! of coffee, cotton, flax, hemp and silk goods, india rubber, jum, painta, salt, soda and tea have fallen largely, and also wines, woollens and wool show a decline; and the entries of glass, gums, hides, Bh oa stones, spices and sugar also show a ‘line. Tin, to- baeco, sigars and lumber exhibit an increase, ‘the other articles being of the usual quantities. Of the total amount entered about half was for direct con- sumption and half for warehousing.

NOTES ABOUT TOWN. For the cultivation of morais and the especiat pro- motion of official honesty why do not the good peo- ple of Brooklyn move for the annexation of Gotham to their beautiful town? ‘The union of the two cities an accomptished fact, and there would then be but one public purse out of which to steal and but one City Hall ring to do it, If the pious of the ehurches on the other side of the river are at all desirous of proving the ultimate dominancy over evil of the Christian doctrine they ean have no better chanee than the annexation ef the two cities would afford in having but one legalized den of thieves to do the stealing, Some weels ago the Board of Excise sent a com- mission to te diferent rum mills of the city to col- Ject “specimen bricks’ from their piles of “tangle- foot,” “botted lightning,” “unrectified benzine,” “smooth” aul “rifle bored” whiskeys, for purposes of analyzation, that the multitude might know what they “fired up” on when they wenton a “burst,” ‘The idea wasa good one, but as two months have elapsed sincdthe collection was made we have come to the concligion that the “bricks? have ‘“evapo- rated,’ and fat the excise people have been on a steady “smil)” cyer since. Will the members of the Board “anal}ze?” ‘The artistgin paints and pencils are al! employed in getting uy banners, portraits, cartoons and cari- catures for #rvice in the coming Presidential cam- paign.

The tens of thousands who thronged the Park yes- terday and drank in the delightful deliciousness of the balmy breezes borne over its wooded deils and grassy plains and hills and miniature lakes attested more forcibly than can any written words of eulo- gium the general apprectation of the genius and fore- sight to which the Park owes its inception and the noble fostering care that has since been bestowed upon it and brought it to its present high state of beauty and perfection. On no day this summer has there been more visitors than yesterday—such an r rushing from the stifing down town streets and ‘more stifling workshops and stores to inhale the fresh fragrance of the Park. ‘The lake boats were more than usually thronged and = greater crowds gathered to look at the curiosi- jes at the Arsenal aud Monastery.

The music ts good, the best possibie of its kind; but something capable of more neral appreciation should be selected for these Saturday concerts. Verdi, Keler Bela, Herzog, Meyerbeer, Strauss and Hamin, too, give good music for the concert room and cultivated auditory, but not for the open air and the Saturday mixed aa- sembI in the Park. Private carriages seemed “a a8 numerous Ma terday as in early summer. There were two or three four-in-hands. All fashionable New York, it 1s evi- dent, has not gone away.
