bulk of the crops will not be ready for fourteen days. The
same accounts reach us as to the lateinss of harvest from
the Caine of Geeric, Ayrshire, Berwickshire, and Rox-
burghshire. Barley is in most instances late, but non the
whole the crop will reach, if it does not exceed, an average.
Several fields will be cut next week in East-Lothian, and
in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh one or two small
patches arc already in the stock. Oats are much improved,
but will be below the ordinary bulk, particularly upon still
cold soils. In upland districts of the southern countic4, as
well Is in the :northern counties, they will be decidedly
under an average crop. They are represented as thin on the
ground, and short of straw in the Curse of Gowrie, Fife-
shire, &e. An occasional field of the more early varieties
will be ready next week fur the sickle in E.14-Lothimi.
Beans are various 4 represented; in the canes tht y arc
said to be bulky in the straw and well podded, while in the
eastern districts they are represented as being in general
deficient in straw, and they will not upon the whole exceed
an average.
GLASGOW.—The late h, avy falls of rain have been suc-
ceeded by strong solar heat, and whatever alarmists may be
disposed to say, so far as we can learn them is us yet no
sauce fur uneasiness as regards the crops. Monday was one
of the finest days that could be desired. The sun shone out
with great power, which must lure haul a wonderful effect
in advancing vegetation.—Ghseoic Courier.

WALES.
CaurnmAK.—We arc sorry to find that the potato blight
has:this year again appeared about Cardigan in a ino4 ma-
lignant manner. From a large pail full of nearly full-grown
potatoes, which we aw this week, not one.half of them
were fit for use. Ilia remarkable that the blight hitherto
confines itself to gardens in the town and isirthiliate neigh-
bourhood, and from every information we can collect, this
valuable edible hitherto in the open fields assumes a most
healthy apearance.

- .
CARNARVON.—The grain crops, excepting those sown
upon cold wet lands, present a luxuriant appearance in all
these districts. The Swedish turnips have is. many places
suffered so much from the ravages of the fly and wire worm
as to require a great breadth of land to be replanted, or
sown with common turnips. In several places we are. sorry
to find that the potato haulms have, during the last week,
presented an appearance which indicates the existence of
the blight, which in former years proved so destructive to
that valuable root.—Carnarcoe Herald.
01.1MOIMA8SIIIRE.—The cold wet weather which pre-
veiled during some parts of the month of June tended t
check the growth of vegetation, and, consequently, to delay
the genera! commencement of the hay harvest, so as to
make it about nine days later than the average time. In
this district the hay harvest could not by said to have gene-
rally begun before the second week in July. Though
wheat has been later in coming to ear, it looks favourable:
but none that we have up to this time seen is yet tit for
reaping. The general observations which we have made in
referenoe to wheat apply to oats and barley. In green
crops the sowing of late Swedes was much delayed by thu
early June rains, and many had not completed this opera-
tion before the first week in July came upon them. They,
however, look thriving and healthy.—Siconsco Humid.
