1111111 LAND.—Without a single exception, the ac-
counts of the state of the mope la all parts of the country
are favourable in the highest degree. This satisfactory in-
telligenoe extends to all limb of erops—wheat, oats, ben,barley, end potatoes. amorally waking, • considerably
larger breadth of grain than natal has been sown, end
the wheat and oat plants appear to have altoge-
ther recovered. In some of the northern manila
about half the usual quantity of potatoes has been
planted; but, taking the 1111/10 of the entire country, I
should suppose that not mare than a fourth of the ordinary
mop is in the ground. As yet there is no distinct evidence
of the reappears/us of disease in the potato grown in the
open air, but still it would be dangerous to rely upon the
present crop. All seemusts seam in stating tkat an im-
mense extent of turnip, pmatip, and other green cropping
has been in preparation. Altogether, the prospects for the
next harvest are highly emmareging.
THE Welart litua.—The iron districts of this
county have been for some time in a most fearful state; at
all the works one or more furnaces have been blows oat,
while at one or two there is not one in bleat. At Pia=
the men agreed to go to work for a month, as it was
by the magistrates that their former nodes was informal;
the month btu terminated, and we are most happy to barn
that they intend continuing in work. At Cwin Celyn and
Coelbrook Vale, the men me ramie ell standing out,
and there seems u little likelihood of their miming to
work now as two or three weeks ago. At Ebbw Vele the
colliers struck on Friday week, and one furnace has been
blown out. At Usually and Bleenevon they ere at work,
but et the latter place there is scarcely a workman who is not
in debt to the shopkeepers to the amount of 21. or 31., some
to a much greater extent. The effect on the shopkeepers is
Memendoue ; two or three failures have been the result
already, and if things centime as they are much looser,
them will in all probability be assay more.—Carlif
