DANIEL O'CONNELL. STATE OF THE HARVEST, &e. BELFAST, SEPT. 13.—The glorious weather we have had, and the prospect of its continuance, has dissipated all our fears for the safety of the harvest—never WAS this country more blessed with abundant crops, particularly oats and po tatoes.—The wheats arc very fine, but not con sidered in general above an average crop. The oat crops are the finest ever remembered. Bar ley and here will also be very productive crops. The exportation of new oats from our port, for England and Scotland, has commenced—two ves sels sailed this week. A considerable deal of rain fell in this quarter on Thursday night and yesterday morning, but nothing which' could do ;material injury, or awaken apprehensions, while the prospect of the weather was by no means unfavourable. The accounts of the harvest throughout the country are satisfac tory in the highest degree. In almost every place, new corn, of good quality, has been brought into the markets, and a short time promises to se cure abundant supplies.—(l aterford Chronicle) We understand that in different places very bad effects have latterly arisen fi-om giving new oats to horses. Most people are aware, that as a strengthening food they are insufficient ; but many imagine that horses, reduced by previous bad feed ing, will soon recover their flesh from the use of them—but the fact is, that in nine instances out of ten they almost universally produce! worms, and even where the cause has been ascertained, it will take a course of medicipe . and care to 'remedy the evil. We think it right to make thii public, ' as injury has already been sustained, which may further extend, it the people .are not aware from whtnce it arises. —(Belfast News Letter.)
