The weather for the greatest part of the month, has been . co eery fine, that all the ditrerent operations of husbandry w lnch are necessary. at this season, have been carried on almost Nil hunt any interruption. The late wheat grounds have been ruin- Pirlrly prepared, and the seed put in, in the best po , sible state. file early n heats now in many places almost wholly cover the Pirface of the island, and have a very fine, healthy, green, ap lie:nano% In partictolar instances they are perhaps too lot s art ant and forward, but this only regards a few situations, where the corcum.t anees are pecu li ar ly f avoura bl e f or their vigorous rrowth.

The tarnip, cabbage, rape, and other green crops, all pro mise well at present, for aliording a full supply of that sort of food, which is so essential, 4 especially in the tiorthero districts, for the support of livestock. The operations of repairing fens, and forming under-drains where the wetness of the land demands them, have in puny eases been performed to a considerable extent, from the unusual open ness of the weather, especially in the northern counties.
