SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1849. 



Whkn we expressed fears that the Society of 

 Friends had distributed seed Potatoes in Ireland, 

 we had the impression of having seen a statement 

 emanating from themselves implying that they had 

 done so in 1848 ; and of having read in the notes of 

 an individual Friend, who had made a tour through 

 the west of Ireland last spring, remarks, conceived 

 in a congratulatory tone, on the breadth of Potatoes 

 planted. We regret that such a fear was expressed 

 without more closely investigating the grounds of it, 

 but rejoice to have been the means of eliciting a 

 declaration that the planting of the Potato is dis- 

 couraged by those whose opinions w" ' 

 well-merited influence in Ireland. 



On another appl 

 officer, we find he
