Tut VINTAGE IN FRANCE.—The Lyons journals
state that the vintage is being completed in the neigh-
bourhood of that plate, with delightful weather. The
result of the crop, m point of quantity, will be about-
an average; but, as to quality, it will scarcely be better
than was at first supposed. On the other hand, the
Memorial d' Aix says :—" The oidiunt has done such in-
jury that the wine crop of 1860 will be exceedingly
bad. We are now in the middle of the village, and
complaints are heard from every quarter." The..Mento-
rial of Bordeaux says The vintage has commenced
in every part of the Gironde, and is quite ,fiaished in
some places. The crop, though not of a first-rate
quality, is found to be better than was anticipated."
