CLOGHER.--The potatoes in this neighbourhood are greatly injured. Cups are infected as well as all other kinds. Potatoes which appeared perfectly sound when pitted, have been found to be greatly damaged.

AUGHER.--All are more or less damaged. I am sorry to say that all kinds are infected, and that no cure can be found.

FIVEMILETOWN.--On inquiry which I have made in this place, I find that the potatoes are not so much damaged as in other parts of Tyrone; very few of the cups are injured.

BROOKEBOROUGH.--I am sorry to have to say, that the potatoes in this neighbourhood, (especially the cups,) are greatly injured. I am informed by a very respectable farmer, that on an average one-third at least are affected.

MAGUIRESBRIDGE.--The potatoes in this locality are greatly injured.

LISNASKEA.--On inquiry I find that the potatoes are injured to a very great extent here. No remedy can be found to preserve them or keep them safe. All sorts are alike injured.--A priest has given a charm of some mixture of holy water, &c., to cure them, but it has proved ineffectual.

NEWTOWNBUTLER.--The potatoes in this neighbourhood are sadly damaged. No cure or remedy can be found to save them. I am informed that at least one-fourt are destroyed by the disease.

CLONES.--Here the potatoes are greatly injured. Every kind is damaged alike.

SESKINORE.--Not many of the potatoes here appear to be infected. There are but few people who say they have them injured.

CROWHILL.--I regret to state that the potato crop in this neighbourhood has suffered severely from the disease. I am of opinion that fully one-third of the entire crop is injured.

ENNISKILLEN.--The potato crop is far from having suffered as much in this county as in some of the neighbouring ones. I have been conversing with several persons whose crops comparatively speaking have no appearance of the disease, especially where they are grown on lea, or new ground. Our markets, too, are moderate--3 lb. 6 oz. of good bread for 6d.

RIOT AT CLOGHER.--On Wednesday night last one of those party fights, which so seldom occur, took place in this peaceable village. A number of persons (Protestants, I understand) were returning from Augher fair, and on their way home had to pass through this place, when they were met and attacked by a party of Roman Catholics. A great many of the young men of the town, of both parties, ran to assist their friends who were a beating, till at least 800 persons were on the spot, all engaged in the affray ; the scene now was terrible. There were only two police constables in attendance, sub- constable WOODS and CULLIN, to whom the greatest praise is due for the courage and dexterity which they manifested on the occasion. The rest of the men were on duty at the fair, but they were sent for. On their arrival at Clogher the above- named sub-constables had succeeded in quelling the mob, and that very efficient officer, head-constable DUNCAN, kept up patrol during the remainder of the night, and prevented any further mischief.
