We character oi the Times was considered TO be so
nearly allied to that of the boy crying "wot" in
the fable, that nobody felt sufficient confidence to
operate without a confirmation from some more re-
spectacle authority. In the metropolis therefore,
the oracular response has done but ttle mischief,
but il does not follow that il will end in that manner
IN other quarters; The steamer with the mails for
the United States would leave Liverpool to-day, al
most Immediately after the receipt Of the morning
papers; and as there will be no other packet for
month TO come, II is easy to perceive what mischief
may be done before the effects can be counteracted
That such article is calculated in the present re-
lations OF the world to lead to extensive specuatons
in grain In the United States for the English mar
ket, and probably good deal OF il on English ac-
count is undoubted and although this may not be
looked upon national evil, il may be public ad-
vantage gained at the expense of individuals by sheer
and unmltgated mendacity.


ATRocIoUs FABRICATION BY THE "TMEs."-We
are now, we rejoice to say, In condition to give
the most positive contradiction to the statement of
proposed repeal OF the corn laws which appeared
in yesterdays Times The statement it may be
remembered, embraced three proposltons;-


First, That Parliament Is to meet in the first


Second, That Ministers have resolved upon re-
peal of the corn laws.


Third, That the projected repeal is to be an
nounced In the opening speech.


Every one Of these three propositions is false.


Parliament will not meet In the first week Of ia
nuary, or much If at all, before the usual time of
meeting.





upon the subject of the corn laws.


II must be unnecessary to add, In the third place,
that resolution not formed can hardly have place
provided IN the Queens speech. What follows, as
had the perfect certainty that we now have of the
utter falsehood OF the Times statement. Upon
what we have written above we stake the character
of this journa!-From London Standard Of Dec 5.


The ALLEGED FAMINE IN IRELAND.-The market

white lad per stone. AT Nenagh, on Tuesday, the
prices were exactly the same as Limerick. The
following is an extract from a letter, dated Sligo.
Nov %, 1915 =" Having spent great deal of my
time, since came to Ireland, in rambling over the
country snipe shooting, have made it my business
TO inquire at every potato field respecting the crops;
and my opinion is very different from the gene
raj one, inasmuch as do not think-at present at
least-that there is just ground for the alarm unver
sally expressed My reasons for this are two lst,
there Is very much larger surface of ground sown
with potatoes than ever there used TO be- as it has
now begun to be so much the custom to fatten pigs
and cattle upon them for the English market /; Sc
condly, that there has been very much larger pro-
duce this year, than has ever been known before
That the disease exists both in the ground and also
in the pits, there Is no doubt; but there another
circumstance did not mention, that the wheat bar
and oat crops the best known-ln short,

i've year ever known"

Algiers.


The Paris papers of Tuesday contain a series OF
dispatches from Marshal Bugeaud and other officers
IN Algeria from which it is evident that advan-
tage has been gained over the Arabs. 1t was deem
ed probable IN Paris, that ministers would recall
the marshal, because of the very awkward situation
In which his administration had placed the French
in Africa.


A portion OF Abd-e-Kader's regular cavalry car
red into Morocco the whole OF the crops and pro-
perty of an important tribe which had, by the advice
OF the Emir, emgrated from Algeria into Morocco
The French troops were unable to prevent this bold
and important movement.


We learn from the Paris papers Of Tuesday, that
the position of affairs in Algeria was every day be-
coming less defined and more complicated. The
government had published several dispatches from
Marshal Bugeaud, and the generals commanding in
