THE Coors IN DEVONSIIIRE.—The hay harvest
is progressing rapidly in various parts of the county of
haven. The shears are abundrnt, and a good deal has
teen saved in excellent condition. The recent fine weather
has greatly improved the aspect of the grain crops, espe-
cially within the last few weeks. Both the autumn
sown and seeing wheats are promisicg ; and bar.
ley and oats never looked hater. Vetches have
yielded heavy crops; and clover will turn out a very
fine shear. The potatoe crop looks exceedingly healthy;
and we have not heard of any trace of the disease as yet.
The orchards promise well, and there is a prospect of sn
abundant crop of apples. On the whole, the prospects of
the agriculturists in this count/ are very cheering.
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPII COMPANY.—Workmen aro
at [resent empl.-.yed opening trenches from the ttrnitt us of
the County Do an Railway to that of the Ulster Railways
and, wader the superintendecce of Mr. William Reid, In
1 laying down the wires for magnetic communication.
Trenches are, also, being opened, and wires laid down, to
the company's offices in Bridge-street. Along the line of
road from Danaghailee to Newtownards, the operation of
opening the trenches is being vigorously proceeded "'kb,
and in a very brief space the connexion with the subma-
rine cable will be complete. We are also inkrined that,
along several miles of the Belfast Junction Railway, poles
have been erected during the past few days, and much pro-
gress made in conveying the wires Southward to the capi-
tal. The submarine cable continues in the same perfect
order. Mr. E. Moseley, Irish manager, yesterday, trans.
mitted several messages across to Seota.ild, and lacetved re-
plies, with the greatest precision. We may, also, state that
wires are now in operation for more than ievif the distance
between Cork and Dublin, and that operations Arc .pro-
ceeding with great vigour along the Eillaruey Juttotiert.--
