ME STATE E THE CROPFI IS lEELAND. —The
recent rough wet wcetlier has not only retarded the
ripening of the cereals, hut been injurious to the flax and
potato crops, tow:; and saturating such flax as was on
the spread, and .1,1 magi ng the tope of the potatoes. The
evil crasequenceo, however, so far, are not serious
in tin nt ; and should the fine weather we have had
since Sunday contixne, the prospects of the harvest
may be regarded as most encouraging. The general tenor
of our advices is in the highest degree satisfactory, and
where the accounts of a particular crop are unfavourable,
they are exceptional, and elsewhere the name crop is
represented as being at least equal, if not superior to
that of ordinary yerrs—thus showing that any deficiency
which may exist either in quantity or quality is purely
local. and refevable to local peculiarities. Reaping
has not yet become general, but a week or ten days of dry,
warm weather will set the machines and the sickle in
opera-
tion over the face of the oountry, unless in the most
ward district*. AU our reports, with one exception, apes
in stating that the wheat will yield abundantly, and be
above an average. The same remark applies to oat. also.
Potatoes are an excellent crop, and only in isolated awes
do we hear that the blight has exhibited itself.—Nortans
