STATE OF THE CROPS IN IRELAND. —The Northern
Whig mays the reports from its correspondents this week
are more hopeful and satisfactory than they have ,yet been
in regard to the state of the amps. The rein hes been
general, and its effect has been most beneficial on potatoes,
which, unless spoiled by the blight, will be an excellent
crop. Turnips, too, of the late sort especially, have been
improved by the rain, and will not be altogether the
hopeless blank they looked for some time. Even flax in
soma quarters is turning out better than was anticipated,
though it cannot by any mesas be regarded as even an
average crop. Wheat is still reported as in splendid con-
dition ?, oats pock hat rather better in mew parts than was
looked ter ; ea& barley is a fair atop at far as ten at re-
seed be boded.
