THE CROPS IN IRELAND.—Our reports this
k (says the Northern Whig) of the crops in the north
r Ireland differ very little from those of several weeks
-nioesly. All are still hopeful of a good average crop.
'ax is still the exception ; and it may be set down RS
zder the average generally. Wheat, however, still pro-
,4,es to be a fair crop ; and oats have been, over all,
redly improved by the recent excellent weather. Turnip
also better than was at first expected. In regard to
toes the reports continue unfavourable. The blight

yet reached the roots, it is to be feared that it is con-
lug to_ progress, and may do so before long.
