THE HARVEST.

Moen the Monthly Circular el Meters. Starr, of Blnalnglewn.)
GLOIICISTIII, Barr. 3.—The wheat crop varies a good
deal io different situations, and it is better in priartion to
the quality of the sol en the hills than in the vales : the
similes of new already brought to market are of fine qua-
lity, end great weight; but It is well known some of the
finest are brought to market first. Nothing positive is yet
st.ted as to the yield, but in this reopen this writer entertains
the *pinion it will not be deficient. The accounts of the
barley crop are various, and even contradictory, though, in
general, the bulk t f the produce is not much complained of,
but it is stated to be very irregular in quantity, and
still mere in quality, though there is little doubt
there will be an average produce. Few oats are grown,
but those the writer has seen are in general good.
Beans are not the crop that was at one ties, expected.
nor will the simples be in general of first-rats quality, but
the produce will not fall much, if any, short of an average.
Peas, where grown, are mostly a good crop. There is no
doubt but the disease in the potatoes has la ely appeared in
many situations, and to a considerable extant, more especially
as regards the leaf and stem, but it does not seem to affect
the root to the same event as informer yens; those brought
to table at various rineses are excellent, and they are very
=aerate in prim There is a prospect of an abundant crop
of roots, such as Swedes and common turnips, carrot.,
parsnip, mantel wu,eel, onions, &e.
CIIIIIICERTIft, Baer. 3.—The great balk of the Wheat
crop is secured, and in good condition, the quality and
weight is far beyond that of average si asons, and the yield
also is expected to be a good OM. The harvesting of Barley
is not in so forward a state. many fields yet remaining Is be
eat; the yield of this grain wile, we think, fall short of an
overage, the corn not ripening well together, owing to the
longemtinaance of dry weather; still we think t►tra will
be many samples of prime qus!ity brought forward. Oats
have also be n partially carried; the plant is tI in, bat in
inured well grained. Peas and Beans promise ever ea
average produce. The potato disease has made its appear-
ance here, but as most of them are early sorts, the ripened
tab ,re are not affected to any extent; we fear the gleam
will extend itself in the late varieties.

80111,11.11 T AND WilT 01 DOUBT, Bury. 3.--Round
Taunton and the early districts of this county, the wheat
harvest was completed about two weeks flare ; and now on
the hills in Dorset, and the moors in this twenty, great pro-
ffer hae been made in securing the wheat, winter beans,
barley, oats, &c., and the quantity remaining out is compa-
ratively small. Ido not think the result of threshing has
answered the expectation as to quantity, but fully so as to
quality; and that secured the two last week*, very dry
weight is from 82. be. to 641134 , and some over Ribs. The
barley is 8 or in the vain, but not so bright as some essence,
• great part secured, and more than an averse. Beene
very much beyond an average, most of the winter, and
some of the speing, ones are harvested. Oats prime in
qoalOy, not beyond an average. With very little exception
the late potatoes are affected by the disease in the green, bat
the tubers as yet but trifling; and if ant rotten, the late ones
will be a 1-se crap: • large portion of the crop is already se-
cured, the pr.duce not large, bat quality seldom exceeded.
Naas Rroaxav, 8 1, 1849.—What new wheat
hue been thrashed out in this neighbourhood, the yield is
very deficient in all cots, but particularly on strong land.
The potatoes are in some cases une diseased, but the crop is
abundant. Tao balk of tne harvest will be secured hero in
a lew days wish fins weather, and in most exc-Ilent condition.
1 think tide year's )ield will be a good deal like 1838.

NZW•II, SIP?. I.—Ths wheat-crop with us, say twenty-
five axes round Newark, the quality of land being generally
fair, is almost, but not quite, an &MUM ; the early trope
MVO injured in blooming time by the stormy weather and
wet v.en prevailing, and some of the heavy crops are mil-
dewed •these two circumstances affect the crops partially,
and bring down the average of the whole, whisk otherwise
looked like a rather large crop, and, except in the alms in-
stances of fine quality, more than three-fourths of it is car-
ried, and well. Tne burley crop is a good ge, and of
fine malting quality. The dry weather early in June lasted
•toolong for the f 'mind, sharp, gravelly soils ; baton the high
lands, where the bulk of barley is grown, say, Lincoln-
heath, they are pretty yielding crops, and, taking quaity
into account, will Five us, as moisten, more barley of home
growth than usual, three.fourths of this crop secured in
fine condition. Nut many oats grown with us; the crop is
• fair one, quality good, mostly all got. Beans have not
turned out quite so good as arca tweet. but will bs a fair
trop. As a turnip year, it is decidedly good.
PLissount, SIPTEMBEB I.—The bulk of the corn this
way is carried from the fields. In the only part the weather
war shown, and in consequence some of the wheat is not
in the best 'sedition, but on the whole it is a fine crop in
quantity and quality, and will probably yield double quan-
tity of fl sat to that of last tenon. Barley Is also a fair crop,
t,,ough not considered equal to the whest,but muck superior
in all points to that of last year. The a.me may be said of
oats. The early potatoes turned out well, but there is con-
siderable disease in some of the late ones, so as to create
apprehension for the result.

ICULSWOSTIL. 8127. I.—The whut crop is a fall aver. I
age. Barley varies, but is iike:y to prove more d.ficisnt in
quality than quantity. Beaus are a !sir crop. Putetoes are
afected with toe disease in many places, but slightly eon-
pared with lest year.
NewesT, Seer. I.—The wheat crop is real. The bar-
ky crop various, het the b,an crop in gym nag iol. P•4stoss
is many p var. are effected with the dsoes.e, bet it seems
meetly to effect the loaf and stem, and at pees. at the root does
not appear to be mach injured.
