With regard to Pent', Lygan Lead Mine (Limited) Capt.
John Lloyd, of Bryn Gwiog Mines, writes (August 61 :
" I have made a careful survey of the Pentre Lygan Mine,
and my examination confirms the high opinion I, in con-
junction with other experienced miners, have always entcr-
I 'Aped of the value of this sett. • • • This grant
is drained natorally, like many setts in Halide Mountain,
and is not liable in wet seasons to sudden hoods. This adds
to the cheapness of its development, as expensive steam ma-
chinery is wholly unnecessary. • • Peotre Lygan is ens
of the fee. mines in this district which have hitherto been
unworkol. The difficulty of combining the various grants
into one ..ett. :is just mentioned, has bent the impediment.
Now that this has been overcome you are in possession of
virgin ground of great value. This property being sur-
rounded by rich mines, while the productive lodes of
Parry's and &Bins aro known to run through the sett,
have no hesitation in saying you have in this grant a mine
than which Liars is none more promising in tire district."

THY WEATHER AND THE CR01•14 IN IRELAND.
na IriA Purulent' (Matte says :—" On our jou] n.y t o the
show at Cork we had an opportunity of seeing how the
crops stood and may be likely to turn out, es far as cur
eye could carry at both sides of the line of railw.y.
The cereal crow never looked better. The wheat clop in
soma eases lo73ked a little thin, but for the greater por-
tion it was quite thick enough, and carried a splendid
head. Barley I. of good length of culm, and promises a
full average return. For the greater part of the way it was
still very green. but about Mallow it is changing colour
fast ; one held had been cut and stocked, and another was
fully fit for the sickle. Oats in some few places seemed
short in the culm, but in the majority of cases seemed
quite long eno.igh, and carried a tine head. The hay crop
seems light, much of it cut and trampled for some time, and
some in %anent stages of coring, but visibly <littering from
the wet weather. Potatoes are looking is full health and
vigour, but we regret to say that in a few partial instances
the haulm was touched with the disease."

A harvest report from the counties of Derby,
Leicester, Nottingham, and Lincoln, speaks "favourably"
of the wheat crop, exceedingly well of the barley, and
moderately of the other crops. The harvest bas commenced
in these counties, and another week of fire weather will
make it genera
