lowing noose are lout the provinces:—
Lohnonnavaix. --Stioald we be favoured with tolerable
weather, the prospects ea raga de the oat crop a.• very yew
miming ; and we may safely say the harvest will sot be der
gereusly late. We have WA comiderable quantities dowdy
cut down, aad in all instances the ratan 'porn weighty and
abundant. As r. pubs the exteas and of the blieht
in the potato, Tarbes statements are ily being made.
Whilst the wet weather eontlaumi, the excemive moisture
forced a kind of vegetation, and the progrem of the rot oat
greatly retarded, bet during the few warm devil the disease
again advanced with great rapidity, though, we are inflated
t.. think, only in the tubas that were previously haunted.

crop, we presume, equal to the whole %mount of what we

soother week. Farmers are also busy cutting the oat and
barley fields, whose predates is e as durable.
Wioncow.—There will ace be a short harvest in this
cott.ty. The diatom in the potato has totaby es seed.
BCOTLAVID.—The SCOOMMIS from the various dietrins lean
te the pigmies side. The harvest is proccediag rapidly, and
during the last meek They one was busy. A emeiderable
quantity of wheat is already in the aid, and, with the
moreptisa of Immak all ease rein as sheet ready ite the
sickle, dome of oar far ere, ea handling their wheat and
ashy, are caseload that the crop of both will coesiderably
exceed that of last year. la further proof a< the benefit to
be derived from palling away the thaws from the potatoes
ribose the disease is suspected to exist, we may mention that
the experiment we hied is • field la ,he immediate ieh-
boerhood of Glasgow. Several plants were intentionally
left, and the result was that when the skews were removed
the tubers did well, white where they were permitted tore
main the tubers were fast decaying.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL has prolonged hie stay in
Greenock for • few days. It would have afforded the ma-
gistrates (says the Greenock Advertisa) much pleasure to
have prineated to his lordship, in nuns of the community,
an address of eongiatulation on his mfe snivel here, and ex-
pressive of their sense of the wisdom and prudence of the
measures lately adopted by government to maintain, under
exceedingly trying eircuoutaania, taw, quality in
Great Britain, and especially in Ireland; bat it having been
ascertained to be his lordship's wish that his visit should
be of a private kind, the idea was relinquished. In
the formica of Monday his lordship walked out fix
two or three miles elan the Slums Waanneet, &nom-
pealed by Andrew Lindsay, Bq , who pointed out the
various prominent sad remarkable pieces in the neigh-
bourhoo& The day being uncommonly clear, the view
' from the hill was extensive and beautiful, and his lordship
was evidently greatly pleased with his walk. He visited the
Spews Water Casa' Bpinniag Company's hatory, and
expressed Wassail &slighted with the large wheel by which
the machinery is (trivets, the largest in the world, being
