In estosequence a timely rails aerie( the early part of August, every description of waits •ud vegetation cape rieneed a very great improvement ; but, owing to some heavy rain about the twiddle part of the month, the rank Wheat became lodged. However, upon the return of dry weather, the lodged Wheat had in a great measure repined itself, as that we might a few days ago conclude, with a few exceptions, itently, some lodged, and some smutty Wheat, that Wheat in general would be a good ge crop; bat as the mouth fur its last few days concluded with heavy rata. we esi ..... t at present form an opiiiius of the state of the crop, because it is mow in different states, namely, stacked, atooked, bound, reaped, lodged, standing, ripe, and verging to ripeness, aie. The cultivation of Barley seems rather limited. However, is general. ilscre is nu great cause of consolation with regard to either produce or quality, and it may be considered a tolerably good crop, subject to the danger of the precarious stale in which it is now placed by the last few wet days. The early and timely rain has replenished mut retrieved the Oat crop material y, much more than any other kind of grain, particularly with regard to the improvement of straw, which appears now to be of sufficient growth; but we are incompetent to judge of the damage or injury it may now sustain iocuusequente of these act f.w rabiy days. Rape, Rye, and Bere have not appeared leas favourable than the oilier descriptions already described, boils with regard to• produce sad quality; uotwithstasidiag we are apprehensive that they will *bare the same fate as the other kinds of grain, °wits' to the concluding part of the month basing been so rainy. Flax is a very good average crop, and, is general, it is pulled, watered, and saved. Aftergrass is in a very flourishing condition, and It will probably be improved by the present rain. Although the Hay crop is considered by s I to be light, it may be expected fully adequate to the consumption. The Potatoes are an excellent crop, both fur produce and quality. They are most exteisatvely cultivated, much more so this sea than at any former period, because some farmers were ohlegeri, through the pressure of the times, to reduce their ,tuck of cattle, and increase that of tillage. As September is the thraibing time, chiefly in ( e i d e r to procure Pill , / to secure butt Corn and Hay from the win ter, we may expect to be more competent to form so our next Report a proper idea of the produca and quality of the harvest than we can do at present. As the colicluding part of Angnrt terminated in heavy rain, we must leave the re sult to September. However, from every appearance of the Grain which has already been tin a•hetl, and brought to our markets, we may justly say that some of the Wheat was very prime, equal to any of the produce of last season , more of it very inferior. Certainly, we may expect more 'matey and small Corn this season than we had last year. The latter description is chiefly owing to the Corn being lodged, %bleb circumstance prevented the Corn from rousing to proper maturity, and consequently kept it in the present state, which is dark, small. and rasher shrivelled Indeed, if the rain conttnue much loner, it seems to threaten us with theilty flour, similar to what we experienced a few years ago. Of *bat Sere and Barley came to our mastless. sume ap peared prime, and more but very moldliug Oats 'wars rather superior to any miler grain, and veered' the old Oats in price. • In the early part of August farmers were busily employed in drawing culm, second ploughing fallow., brining home bay and turf, and completing 1 other necessary branches of agriculture. Now their principal employment 'teems to consist in reaping the harvest. All description, of groin seem to have reprised ibis year at she same time, a circumstame scarcely remembered to have eel-lured at any former period; Collsiqueuily, it may be well conceive.), that farmers are mum confused sod perplexed now, owing to the rain, than they base been at any former h t within me mory. as the rain has completely retarded and suspended the progress of :heir industry, and ptereeseed tkeni from reap isle Ilse corn.
