CUllliantAND.—Potatnes In general were never known to
look better ; still, in some of the early gardens, the thane

fection has pretended frees eseeened seta, as no doubt many
would be planted, lia aelMilleettbe wry high price, which,

under the dunghill.
DevONsislan.—The beautiful weather for the last fort-
night has completely changed the face of the wheat and
barley mops. Everything is looking most promising, and
bids fair for a harvest rather earlier than was at first anti-
cipated, front the lateness of the spring. The hay harvest
will soon be general. The potato dope, if good, will not be
of any great extent of tillage.
Hiilarunrisitint.—The wheat crop is very thin on heavy
sky lands, and the wire-worm has been exceedingly busy
the growing corn in numerous places. It is, we
now found that lime, however fertilising to the
head, nugatory as to the destruction of this voracious
eleetwe, but perhaps salt may prove a little more athe-
ism,. Me early potatoes look generally kindly, but we

Maas the bee eau.
LanCeitian.—The wheat continues to look well in Lan-
gdale* red Cheshire, and, with a shower or two, and a few
days a trarabine, would soon start into ear. In one or two
SIVIIMMIA spots ears of wheat greedy show themselves. The
=lora in panel lain well, I'M would be mash ina,„/
by a little rain. The Swedish turnips are coming up
very regularly, and arc now quite safe from the fly, wherever
they were sewn in good time. The cultivation of this va-
luable root, which is the foundation of the hest and safest
system of husbandry known in Europe, is greatly extending
in this part of the country. The potato crops look well. We
have been informed that the lands recently brought into
cultivation at Chat Noes, and which have this year been ex-
tensively planted with potatoes, promise to yield en early
and abundant crop of this useful article of food The plash'
have a very healthy appearance.
Weeneonzieen.—The late fine weather has had • most
beneficial effect upon t a crops. Wheat and barley are
really luxuriant, and oats, except upon some cold soils, look
remarkably well, so that harvest may now be safely (WM
lated to be ready at least three weeks earlier than was
expected a short time ago. The breadth of wheat is more
extensive than usual. The farmers are at present busily
engaged with sowing turnips, and the flue weather with
which we are favoured enables them to get on rapidly with
their work, especially where the land is dean. The turnips
that are up loek well • and potatoes in general were
known to look more healthy.
WlLTSlllitY.—Account. of the favourable appearance
of the grain crops in all directions still continue to come to
hand, and the probabilities of • plentiful and early harvest
are daily improving in character. The contrariety of
opinion with regard to the existence of disease ie the potato,
is amply sufficient to induce a proper degree of circumspec-
tion m receiving them; it is quite eviaent, however, that
in some 'oddities the disease has put on so positive au op-
peeseas, that a denial is absolutely impossible. In the
majority of instances, where reports have been made up to
the present time, the balance of testimony is of a cheering
nature. In the neighbourhood of Devizes the crop
looked more healthy.
WORCKSTERSHIRE.—After a month's undisturbed sun-
shine the temperature has become cooler, and several re-
freshing showers have fallen during the present week. This
will be most tavourable for the crops, especially on stiff Lads;
the wheat is now ready to burst into ear ; turnips anti poll
toes are looking exceedingly well, and there is as yet no in-
dication of disease in the last-mentioned root.
YORILSRIIIE.—The wheat lands are making extraordinary
progress; and there never was known • season in which,
with regard to this c seription of grain, a richer luxuriance
presented itself. The same remark applies to other descriptions
of grain ; and the whole is not only remarkably healthy and
vigorous, hut promise., provided tine weather continues te
prevail, an early harvest. The grate crops will also be
abundant. While the lands are in preparation for the recep-
tion of turnip seed, the potatoes are progressing with astonish-
ing rapidity. Their appearance is that of health and vigour,
displaying an evenness of growth which is not always wit-
nessed. A large breadth of land is this year devoted to their
production.
SCOTLAND.—CoId not therly winds having prevailed during
the last four days, and vegetation has not made much progress.
There has been no blight, however, nor any injury beyond
what has been caused by a temporary interruption to the
rapid progress which had been made during the preceding
fortnight ; and ss rain, which was mach wanted, began •
few days ago, a favourable change in the temperature may
be looked tor. Nothing could 'De more satisfactory than the
appearance of the crops, and with seasonable rains, followed
by warm and genial weather, the harvest may be both an
abundant and an early one.—Caledonian Mercury.
DUMFRIES-Sal ite.—The spring corn in some parts was be-
ginning to look tether parched, but seasonable showers have
given it an improved appearance. The pastures are every
day looking more luxuriant; while the potato crop is
shooting up fresh and strong, as yet unvisited by the least
appearance of blight. Early-sown Swedes, where they have
broke ground, present a flue appearance.
Is VERNEBS-SitinE.—The weather continues fine. The
wheat crops are high and thick ; so are the oda ; while the
ryegraas is mat abundant. The potatoes, too, in the fide
are shooting with great vigour. No symptom of disease has
yet been met with either in the fields or the gardens, though
in the latter the stalks are a foot high, and showing the
finest bloom.
RENFREW/Man.—lt is now generally expected that har-
vest labours will commence very early in August, and if
heat again sets in, the calculation, we think, will net prove
fee wrong. In every quarter of this extensive and depot-
tent county, the eye is delighted and the heart gladdened by
the sight of crops as luxuriant as ever graced the soil.
VALE OF CLYDE.—Perhaps this delightful portion of the 1
errantry never presented • more luxuriant and charming ap. !
=nee than it does at the present moment. Nay
mat splendid. Wheat is also luxuriant, and
beans never looked better. Oats are also doing well.
lame portions that were affected by the grub-worm
see recovering fast; and • wonderful improvement has
tam place in the pasture since the run of fine weather
oeseminced. What potatoes there are look extremely well,
ellid Jaen people now regret that the dearness of the seed
them from planting a greater breadth. We beg
eantro; the public net to re into any panic aboutanother
!Duro of the potato crop in Scotland, almost before the
isms are above ground. All that we have seen of the crop
band excellent; and we have them now before us, grown
' la &Wand, to be sure, but in the open air, as large is hen
gp,, sod with the best appearance. Let our readers, too,
somember that the failure, even of former years, was not just
as total as some people would hays wished us to believe.
Certain it is,
_that even yet there are plenty of last year's
crop to be had.—Glaeyerso Conetitutiotvel.

EXCHEQUER BlLLS.—Yesterday, notice wan given
at the Exchequer Bill-office, Whitehall, that new Ex-
chequer-bills will be issued this day, in whole or part pay -
meat of the principal and interest of the bills dated June,
1846, under the 9th Vie., e. 15, for 18,380,2001., in 1846,
and that the interest on these bills will be 3d. per cent.
per diem, as also on and after the 16th inst. on the Ex-
chequer-bills now outstanding and dated Mardi, 1847,
issued under 8 Viet., e. 23, for 9,379,6001. in 1845, and c. 129
for 9,024,9001. in 1345.
MODEL OP JERUSALEM AS IT 113.—A new and inte-
resting addition has just been made to the popular exhibitions
at the Egyptian-ball. It is • huge and well-finished model
of modern Jerusalem, the work of Mr. Edwin Smith, of Slid.
field, whose miniature models of the same subject are so well
known and so much admired. There is no place to which
such associations belong as Jerusalem. From the time that
Abraham ascended Mount Moriah to offer up his son as a
holocaust on the spot where the temple afterwards stood, to
the day when on the same hill ten thousand Moslems were
I massacred by Godfrey of Bouillon and his crusaders—from
the days when Mekhieedeck here offered sacrifice, to the
destruction of the ancient city by Titus, what scenes has it
not witnessed! Here David sang, here Solomon entin-
ciated his wisdom, and reared his mat and mysterious
temple; but, above all, here the greatest event in the annals
of the world—tlW redemption of man—was consummated.
The utility of a model, displaying with all possible fidelity
such a spot, is too evident to need even a passing allusion.
To every reader of the Bible and instructor of youth, its
importance must be apparent. To know the relative posi-
tion, and the appearance at the present time of such loca-
lities as the Mount of Olives, Mount Moriah, the Hill of
Zion, the Valley of Jehosaphat, the Via Dolorosa, the site
of Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre, the Garden of Gethse-
mane, the Brook Kedron, the Pool of Siloam, the gates and
highways around the city, and the other familiar names
mentioned in Holy Writ, all exhibited before us, and fixed
upon the memory, as it were, by actual inspection, is useful
and interesting to all. As a pictorial representation of the
modern city the model has also considerable claims. It is
executed on a scale of four-Ind-a-half feet to the mile, and
covers an area of nearly 100 square feet ; and it has been
completed under the superintendence of some of the mission-
aries of the London Society for promoting Christianity
among the Joint, so that its general accuracy may very
well be relied upon.
