MONTHLY REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER.

Aa unkindly and variable season has concluded in one of
the most expensive harvests to the majority of our farmeir,
to which an now mitt climate subjects us. '4'e have, how-
e►er, raper it sired far worse seasons, in which cold, wet, atoll
blighting weather has been more coosiant, the present haw-
lug been relit red almost throughout by warm and genial al-
aerations. With respect to the harvest in particular, Ireland
bee perhaps suffered more heavily than Ibis country, in
which the western !parts have been must unfortunate. In
Scotland, and in the North generally, the Wheats are said tip
have been harvested with much success. Lincolnshire
named as one of the moat foi tuate districts The plant of alt
the sub to curs was sufficiently strong and thick upon the
land, unites Oats be the exception. As to Pease and Bums,
the crop was perhaps never greater, bat the harvest of the
latter sill be ;really protracted. If any Ibiug could cure
the general error of sowing g with cora, a harvest like
the present world be the remedy, for the clover, which takes
pitch a length of lime to dry, has ruined immense breadths of
Bath y. Some of the Ninth-wester', districts have been dou-
bly unfortunate, Crum bar/Times+ occasioned by drought in
summer, and from ruin of the crops by the rains in harvest.
Much corn has been necessarily housed in a wet state. Hop
piekimg began in the ascend week of this month, sad the
trop will to. large. Red Clover, Rape, and linseed have ad-
retired in pt ice, front the had stale of the weather. Perhaps
the CollUtry oert r saw a finer turnip crop, or more luxuriant
after grsAs, from the Witt nee of which store stuck has ex-
perienced some rise of price. In wool, little alteration.
