these remarks (Monday, 12 o'clock), the rain is descending,
with the wind W.S.W., like a November day. As far as we
are informed. this adverse weather has prevailed throughout
the west of England for the last ten dcys. Much wheat bra
been cut, but very little can be carried in good condition ;
ate:, should we have another week of this unseasonable
weather, the grain cut must be very much damaged, and the
crops generally be seriously injured. The accounts we have of,
the present wheat crop are various and dissimilar ; some
say the ear is defective in the number of grains, others
that the number of ears will supply that deficiency ; but all
agree that the weather is much against the harvest, end that
, the continuance of rain must do incalculable mischief. The
potatoes are reported to be generally in a bad state. The
, disease has made sad havoc in many places; there are, how-
ever, still tome parts not greatly affected, and thr, quanity
planted this year is expected to give an increased supply.
We have been told of instances where good potatoes have
been taken from the ground, after the stalks have been
totally decayed ; whether this be fact or not we have not the
means of stating, but at this moment, with the weather in
its present state, the utmost anxiety must naturally exist as
to the supply of food for the winter.—Devon Chronicle,
Aug. 15.—Another paper (the Western Times of Aug. 12)
says in reference to South Devon: "The prevalence of
the wet weather during the put month made hay.
making tedious work, and in most instances in-
jured the hay. Very little we fear can be truly
denominated ' sweet hay,' and much is only fit for the
dung-hill. The frequent and heavy rains have also retarded
the ger.eval oomtuencement of harvest, and injured the corn;
neither the quantity nor the quality of the wheat equals
that of last year. The extant sad virulence of the potato
murrain is great, and its cause and cure are still unknown.
Not only are those raised tram sound potatoes attacked, but
also those plants raised from seeds carefully saved from
potato apples. The growers are taking up all that have at-
tained a marketable size (about one-fourth of which are
rotten), and sending the sound ones to market. The conse-
quence is, that the markets at present are over-supplied, and
prices are low ; but in a short time (most likely) they will
be scarce and dear. The tins to many small farmers, who
I mainly depend on their potato crop for a return, will he dis-
astrous, end it will be severely felt by many others. Turnips
in general pregreu unfavourably, but many have only re-
cently been sown. Grass is abundant. It may not be tree- ,
levant here to observe that the rent of many small farms (and,
p rhaps, some lai ge ones) is too high. When the crops are
good, and no losses cf cattle, sheep, horses, &c., take place,
the tenant may contrive to make' one year pay for another's
rent;' but when it happens otherwise, he is obligee to' run
behind.' In the long run, landlords, tenants, and the
public, are losers by this. Tenants in ordinary years ought
to lay something by for • ' rainy day.' Those who have the '
opportunity, and neglect to do so, are not good tenants."
Otouces-rekennic.—Reaping has been general in this
county for the last fortnizht, but ift progress has been a
good deal retarded by the unsettled state of the weather.
This week we have had some fine harvest days, and a re-
markably low temperature, considering that the wind has
been W. and S.W. ; but fortunately the air, except yester-
day, has been dry. There have been some clear frosty
nights; and thunderstorms passed over the district on
1 Tuesday and Wednesday. The neighbouring counties ap-
pear to have suffered much more from rain than ours. We
hear much difference of opinion about the " cut " of wheat,
and also about potatoes. Warm sunny days are now re-
quired. Much of the wheat is fully ripe, and loss will be
sustained by its remaining uncut. Opinions nary about po-
tatoes. Some bad cases have been communicated to us,
within a few miles of this city. The early sorts have been
attacked this year, and the smaller potatoes, contrary to the
experience of former years, have suffered whilst the large
have escaped. n other instances, near this tits?, the potatoes
in large grounds hardly show any siva of rat —Gloucester
Chremicle, Aug. 12.
IL UNT (Ton WEALD).—The wheat crop is much ,
" scrolled," and is light in the sheaf, and will mast likely
prove under an average produce, certainly very short indeed
of last year. Oats have improved very much since the rain
began to fall, but still, under the circumstances, must be
rather a short crop; there is much red rust in many pieces.
Barley is but little grown in this parish ; what there is will
p,roduce a large crop. The early sown peas are pretty
but net &large yield ; the late sown will be deficient.
Beans may be esid to be very uneven, some pieces sown early
podding well, those later sown are still growing fast; how'
they will turn out time will best determine. Within these
few days a disease has attacked them,: the haulm is turning
prematurely a dark colour, and the pods in many places are
seriously affected, becoming spotty sad turning black (not
naturslly).in consequence of being affected with something
similar to the potato blight, and the beans rattling in the
pods. The few potatoes grown are very much affected with
blight, and must be a great lose indeed to many of our
cottager'. Fine weather is now very much needed for all
sorts of farming operations; should the present wet weather
continue much longer the effects mast be very serious—
Rochester Gazette, Ang. 15.
SuPFOLX.—The reports from different parts of the county
all agree in stating that the wheat harvest has been much
retarded, and in some places slightly injured by the adverse
weather, but they differ in their estimates of the crop that
may be expected. In the inland parts of the county a full
average crop is expected, whilst towards the coast it is esti-
mated far below the average ; the quality, however, is ex-
cellent. Barley is very backward, having been put in so
late; but should warm weather now set in it will produce
an abundant yield, and at the same time materially improve
the condition of wheats.. -Suffolk Chronicle.
SURREY.—The potato disease has this week been fed by
the close atmosphere and frequent rains, accompanied by
electric shocks from repeated thunder storms—the tops or
haulms have died away most rapidly, even where the bulbs
are not half grown ; yet, upon examining the roots, the
disease as yet has not far extended, but whether, they will
suffer remains to be seen. Some growers are still hoping
they will escape, others fear the worst; at all events,
fearful forebodings are becoming general. Some are
pulling up the tops and leaving the bulb in the
ground ; others digging and selling et any ptice
they will fetch; while a third party leave them to take'
their chance. Upon making inquiries in the parishes of
Clapham, Wimbledon, Malden, Kingston, Esher, Twicken-
ham, Teddington, Hampton, Bitten, Tursham-green, and
Hammersmith, we found the tops had died away very fast
within the lest week, yet the infection was still confined to
the haulms generally, and but few of the roots were in-
fected. In making our weekly inquiry in the markets of
the metropolis—first in the Borough, we found the salesmen
abundantly supplied with very line potatoes from Kent,
Surrey, Surges, Essex, and Middlesex, meeting with a ready
sale at about the prices of last Saturday. The growers up
from the country admitting they found some diseased when
digging, yet not so many as represented—some fields en-
tirely free from taint, others having about one sack in 20
touched; the yield great, particularly of the second early.
The ;general crops still look green, and hopes are enter-
tained that they will escape.—Surrey Gazette, Aug. 15.
WORCESTERBIIIKE.—It is believed that the wheat crop in
Worcestershire will be inferior both in quality and quantity
to that of last year. A great deal of grain has been carried
throughout the south of England this week.—Gloucester
Chronicle, Aug. 12.
YORASHIRE.—Within the last ten days the grain has rest
has become quite general throughout the West Riding,
especially in the southern districts, where a larg, portion of
the corn has been housed in good condition. Though the
last three or four days have been dull, with slight occasional
shower, the weather has been in other respects favourable
for the gathering in of the grain, a very cold drying wind
having almost continuously prevailed,'lgfas to render evening
fires necessary in many domiciles. The reports as to the
extent of the crops vary according to the localityfrom whence
they are derived, but all agree that the quality will be
superior to the average. With respect to the early potatoes,
the crop is allowed on all hands to be good.
BELPAST.—An intelligent gentleman, from the parish of
Braid, reports that, though its some low situations the blight
has appeared in the potatoes, yet it is not to a dangerous ex-
tent. The sort celled hampers, which escaped best last year,
are the most affected. The kind called '‘ Williamsone,"
which are scarce, are entirely safe.—Beifaat Chronicle.
BALLYSHANNON.—Theie never was a better appearance
of a plentiful harvest than the crops generally present this
season; and notwithstanding the rumours of a rot in the
potatoes, the disease is not more fatal than it has been in
year of prosperitv.—Ballyshortnon Herald.
WEIFORD.—We feel deep regret in stating that, accord-
ing to accounts reneiv. d from different parts of oar county,
not merely a partial, but a very considerable, failure of the
potato crop is already apparent. Some, we are informed,
will lose all, while others are likely to lose great portions of
the crop. An utter failure, or anything approaching to the
, utter failure of the year before last, is not anticipated. On
the contrary, it is expected that the crop will gradually re-
cover. We would be sorry, however, that our people should
ever again be induced to place so much dependence on the
potato crop as heretofore.—lVerford Independent.
ATltertlßE.—The winter wheat has seldom had a finer
nmserance in this county than during the early part of the
meant semen, but we are sorry to say that there is now no
prospect of even a moderate yield, in consequence of the
ravages of the fly. The oat crop is of fully average weight,
and has every appearance of being productive. Beans are
thin, but they have come well out in length during the past
month. The "haws of potatoes are, in every instance that we
have Been the last few days, affected by disease, and in moat
eases they are withering down rapidly. So far as regards
the late varieties, by far the greater proportion of which are
planted, the tubers are notes yet much affected, but it will
amount to a loss of one-half of the crop should the foliage be
stricken down at this stage of growth,:even though the potatoes
should remained untouched. We are hopeful, however,
that the disease may be much less virulent than it was in
1846, when the potato thaws were generally blackened in
less than two weeks fro.o the time when they appeared to be
affected. We have closely observed a field which showed
undoubted indications of disease a fortnight since, and
though the malady has progressed gradually, the appearance
at a short distance is still a healthy green colour, and we have
not yet discovered any diseased tubers amongst them. We
can scarcely look for a good turnip crop this season. T
have been much injured and their growth retarded by cold
-- 1 and wetnees.—Ayr Adeertiser.

CORN.-BARNSLEY, August 16.-We had a very
thin attendance to-day, and higher p. ices were obtained for
Wheat, which sold at from 225. to 245. per 3 bushels. In
other grain nothing was doing.
BOSTON, August 16.-We have bad a rather abort supply
of Wheat in our market to-day, and with a moderately free
demand prices hair advanced 3s. per qr. Very little doing
in Oats or Beans, and prices nominally the same. Wheat,
red, 475. to 535.; white, 505. to 655. Oats, 15e. to 21s.
Beans, 365. to 361. per qr.
CRICIIESTER, August 16. -We had a large supply
of Wheat to-day, and, although there was not much
animation in the trade, farmers succeeded in obtain-
ing an advance of 31. to 4s. per qr. on the prices of hut
market day. All other descriptions of grain must be noted
Is, per qr. dearer. Wheat, 525. to 60.. Barley, 28a. to 345.
Oats, 225. to 245. Beane, 40s. to 425. Peas, 40s. to 49,.
Flour, 425. per twit.
Hat.zswonrs, August 15.-We bad a fair show of old
Wheat, but no new, and sales were made at an advance of
21. to 3s. per qr. We had twenty-four hours' rain on Mon-
day and Monday night, and the Wheat is consequently
much injured. Wheat, 48s. to 565. per qr. Barley, 26e. to
30s. Beans and Peas, 30s. to 365.
Havvvann's Hearn, August IG.-This afternoon a tre •
mendous rain, accompanied with thunder and lightning,
fell. Very little Wheat offering, and it was sold at 2s.
per qr. advance from last week. Oats were held at Is. per
qr. advence, but few cfferintt. White wheat, 141. 10s. to

19s. to 21e. Beans, 365. to 335. Peas, 40s. to 425.

NEWCASTLE, August 15.-The weather still continues un-
settled, but we have kid no rain since Saturday, although
the temperature has been exceedingly low:sind unfavourable
for maturing the crops. At our market this morning we had
a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, but, having
several arrivals coastwise, we were in consequence not an
much affected by the report from London. Still, however,
where an advance of Is. per qr. only was asked, our miners
showed a disposition to purchase, and, upon the whole, •
fair amount of business was done, the best south country red
commanding 565. 6d. to 575. per quarter, weighing 6albs.,
whereas choice white reached 605., same weight. In fo-
reign few transactions occurred, owing to the high preten-
sions of holder'. For Flour we experienced a steady in-
quiry ; extra households being saleable at 405., and white
at 42a. per sack respectively. Our miller' raised their price
to 425. today, but much will depend upon circumstances
whether they succeed in establishing the advance. Rye un-
altered. Barley in good demand, Pomeranian qualities
meeting a lively sale, at 295. per qr. In Malt rather more
passing. Beans and Peas more inquired after, and the turn
higher ; and the same may be said of Oats, superior Holstein
commanding 225., and ordinary descriptions, 181. per qr.,
respectively.
RoMFORD, August 16.-We had a fair supply of old
Wheat at market to-day, which realised about 3s. per qr.
above last week's prices ; with a few samples of new, which
were not in good condition. Wheat, 50s. to 625.; Barley, 301.
to 333.; grinding, 27e. to 305.; Oats, 201. to 26e. ; Beans,
325. to 36e. ; Pen, 355. to 38s. ; Rye, 28s. to 30s, per qr.
DuaLlat, August 15.-The weather has been now for a
long time, and still,continues, extremely unfavourable for the
harvest, and the reports of the potato crop become daily
worse and worse. These circumstances at length create much
anxiety, and a general improvement in prices has resulted.
We advance our quotations la. for Wheat and Oats, ls.6d. for
Bere, and Is. per barrel for Rateseed. Oatmeal is Is., Flour
6d. per cwt., and Indian Corn's. per (tr. higher. The fol-
lowing was the currency : Wheat, white, 325. to 375. ; red,
30s. to 355. per 280 lbs. Oats, 13s. to 15s. per 1961 b. ; new,

wheat harvest requiring attention, and at noon a very heavy
shower of rain tell, which not only raised the corn market,

was a good show of young Cows with Calves at foot; prices,
121. to 161.
HORNCASTLE HORSE FAIR, August 16.-We have had a
better supply of good horses than was anticipated, many
decent Nags and Cart Horses having been brought in on
Monday and yesterday. For all good Horses there were
plenty of buyers, at high prices ; but the indifferent and hack
lots (of which we observed many) were hard to quit, and
lower rates would have to be taken. There has been only
one buyer from abroad during the whole fair; and the kind
' of Horses generally bought for exportation have zonsequently
hung on hand ; but altogether prices ruled higher than was
expected.
LEEDS, August 16.-There was not so large a supply of
I fat Beasts at our market this morning as at the last fair; con-
sequently prices were firm, and for the better class of ani-
mals some slight improvement in price was realised. 01Sheep
the show was unusually large, and as the drovers did not
told out firmly for late prices, a few sales were effected at
slightly diminished rates.
LINCOLN, August IG.-We have a very large show of
Sheep to-day, but only a moderate supply of Beasts. Prices
are higher for all descriptions, and Beef is making 6a. 9d. to
7s. per stone; nothing lower. Mutton, 64d. per lb. all
round. There is an impression, both with the buyers and
feeders, that the prices °flat stock will not be lower.
Romig% August IG.-Our market was well supplied
with lean stock, which sold at about late prices. Beef,
Is. 2i. to 4s. ; Mutton, 4s. to Is. ; Lamb, 4s. to be. 6d.; Veal,
