THE WEATHER AND TEE CROPS.

The country journals already tea with notices
of thu Outputting ha:riot. On the will is (except perhaps
as to the potato) it will be seen that their tom is
meow:dile.
Beginning at the meth, we extract the funowicg from
the Grerwek Adrertiaer Fur some days the mother I

mates of a Weaning bias' g nada is reaping, and a week
or two enure of seek weather would make the harvest gene-
ral in early localities. The accounts from all quarten are
alike gratifying, !soilage sat as almost tartan satinpaSon

nen of imp. The bay Unrest is in many quarters com-
pleted. and much to the satisfaction of the [powers. The
only esestption to the general rejoacing is in regard to the
potatoes, which in many different quarters nave given
evidence of again falling before the blight. From leirlaM,

our own neighbourhood, we are sorry to hove IM same

Caning across the Border, the (While Journal has the
foliate sag :—" There cannot now be the slightest doubt that
our sassiest harvest will be me of the must abundant ever
witnessed. With regard to our own district, the graia is
is a eery forward state, and in the neighbourhood of our
city several fields of barley have already been cut. Should
the weather continue tavuarable, euniug will have become

The: forks/ire to:eerie states The hay bravest in this
district (Whitby) is now fast drawieg to a thee and the
arass hitherto secured in capital cunditi,n. On good lead

The potato crops an looking remarkably well, and m yet

beneficial to Oar potato plants, as also to turnip', which
were much in went ut rain. Wheat, oats, and other grain
look promising in nearly all parts of the district, sad the
yield, it sell gathered, will no doubt be very abundant."
The Demean Usuefte reverts "We have before stated
that the extmordisary has weather during the month of
July bad accelerated the ripening of the curu crops with re-
markable rapidity, and t..st the- opinion prevalent in June,
that the hart. at would be late, had out been verified. Early
on Monday morning last, however, and during the day,

are the mint luxuriant: This has been the are, bat not to

any serious extent. If, indeed, some !light inju'ri has been
occamioned in one dirt etion, it is counterbalanced by good
in others. The accounts of the corn produce in the districts
surrounding this neighbourhood are remarkably uniform on
the point of ensiles:v.'
the Avtianyhans demur, contains advice, from two

parish are levkirg extremely well. The wheats especially
are in a thriving condition. In some closes they are look-
ing rather thin, lost taking them altogether, the wheat

well, soil • deal of it will be ready in the MUM) of neat
week for the scythe. Oats arc looking well, and one gen-
tleman began cutting last Saturday, and several more would
bare commenced on Monday, but the rain prevented them.
BARVORD.--ilarreat prospects in this pariah are is the
highest degree satisfactory. The crops everywhera are
adundant, stand well, and being general., very clean pro-
mise sin early maturity. 0/3 and rye are in progress of
cutting, and barley will in several places be commenced
neat week. Potatoes, of which there is a great breadth
planted, are uniformly looking strong and healthy. The
late rains have had a must bent ficial dire' on the turnip
finds, as likewise on the pastures."
The Leicester illercwry states.—" We are glad to learn
that the corn harvest has commenced under very favourable
auspices in this neighbourhood, and that the American
reaping macluine has b. en put in full operation, both in
wheat and eats, during the week, in t c lordship of Syston
and Barkby, by Mr. Johnson, ironmonger, of this town."
The Navvy Standard says—. The Wheat h has
been commenced upon a more general scale than usual at
this ear.y period, both in the W eahl and the Downs. The
crops on the heavy lands are spoken of in the highest
terms, and the straw throughout is most abundant. In a
few days the wheat harves. will be universal. The potato
blight is reported irons various parts of the county, but we
cannot say that our advice* are sufficiently nunierwas to in-
duce us to h. here that it is general."
The llereford Times has the following :—'• Since our last
texrit, partial but heavy storms hare visited this county.
The wheats, especially in the tillowed lauds, are much
laid, and the sample will, we tear, be seriously injured.
Heaping in the forward districts will commence next week,
and, except where the crops are laid or are not free from •
blight that has affected some localities, it will com-
mence under favourable circumstances. In the allotment

gardens near the town it is said that scarcely a potato is
in a herltliv state."
The following is from the Canthrtelge Chromic' A
few days back at was admitted on all hands that a Inn
prospect f•a good crops of wheat au never known is this
district; within the last few days it has been too plainly
discovered a con.iderable bliet, or mildew, has taken
place. We trust the cues may be partial and exceptional;
but we have already positive information and facts before
us of di. beet breadths being considerably injured."
The Briyktott Gazette reports .—" The attests and other
corn in the neighbourhood of Brighton are looking ex-
ceedingly luxuriant, and promise an abundant crop. The
hot sunny days we have had lately have had the effect of
ripening the cora ; and on Monday, Mr. Higdon, of Hove,
commenced reaping, beim we believe, the int earn that
has been cut in the saigkboozboed."
