TILE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

EDINBrIWIL—For the last 1001144111 days the Crop have
made little progress. Though the weather seemed agree-
able during the the day, the nights were frequently cold
and frosty. Hay harvest has commented, and the crop is
turning out much lighter than was anticipated. Clever
grass, intended to be used green, has sold about 101. an
acre, while last year similar grass intended to be eaten
green brought about 151. or 161. per acre. Meadow grass,
however, has kept its price. Wheat is generally in the
shot blade, and barley and oats look vigorous and
healthy. With the exception of those portions injured by
frost, the potato-fields never presented a more luxuriant
appearance. The leaves are broad and of a bright deep
green, while the stalks are unusually strong. Turnips are
brairding well, and many fields are already singled.—

CORNWALL.—The crops in this country are also very pro-
mising. Large quantitie' ofnew potatoes bare already been
sent to the London and Exeter markets. _

places has been saved in excellent condition, and a very heavy

Lonsitrultai.—The potato blight has made its appear-
&ace at Symondsbury, in one little garden. The hay har-
vest has commenced in the vicinity of this city, and the crops
are excellent. The grain crops also present a very inviting
aspect. The potato fields are also looking well around this
city and in the adjoining county of Gloucester, and exhibit
no symptoms of disease.—Slierborne Journal.
CAXBRIDGE.—A great deal of grass has been cut In this
neighbourhood during the week, and the crops are very
heavy. The weather since Tuesday has been fine, but very
cold mornings and evenings. All other crops look most
luxuriant, and we hear of no potato disease at present.—
Cambridge Independent Press.
Boaron.—The crops in this part of the county of Lincoln
are luxuriant in the extreme; some of the grain crops are
perhaps somewhat full of play, but they generally look well,
and promise an abundant harvest. The potato plant, which
is, of course, an object of great interest, ia up to this time
doing well Herald.
Hato,.—The late propitious weather has wrought a de-
lightful change in the saes* in this district. Wheat is look-
ing remarkably well, sad the oat trope are very promising.
The potato plant is strong and healthy, and as yet there
are no indications among the early planted of a reappear.
once of the disease. The hay crops will be very heavy.—
