The aemunts of the harvest, which at present form
the staple of intsUippuce from tbs country, ars this
morning more cheering than they have been for some
days past. The Galway Vssidiesseor, speaking for the
west, sirs "We hays received communications
from almost every. district in this great preview, and
with three exceptions all apes that the blight is not
as general as was supposed. The disease, whieb no
doubt exists, has not increased daring the week, but,
on the contrary, many fields which presentrd marks
of the contagion, have changed to a more healthy ap-
pearance. Such is also the tone of the reports from
several other quarters. The Tipperary Free Press
says that in the districts arrund Clonmel the fields
are quite fro, from any appearance of blight, and
that the potatoes look gaits green and vigorous.
