THE WEATHER MID THE CROPS.

The accounts from all parts of the country are, with-
out an exception, of a satisfactory character. The wea-
ther has been most favourable for vegetation. Of wheat
the report is particularly good • it is rapidly running
into ear, aril is strong and healthy in appearance. Tur-
nips and mangel wurtzel are doing well. Potatoes are,
generally speaking, in very promising condition ; and
even the hay crop, about which but slight hopes were
entertained, will probably afford a tolerably fair though
somewhat light return.—Berkshire Chronicle.
BRIDLINGTON. —The weather for the last week has
undergone. an agreeable change. A great improvement
has taken place in the appearance of the grass and corn
crops in this neighbourhood, and the farmers are expe-
riencing 'as fine a turnip time as could be desired.—
Yorkshire Gazette.

The weather for the last week has been everything
that could be wished to help forward the growing crops,
both as it respects a supply of rain and highly raised
temperature.—Gloucestershire Chronicle.

LiRIFFELB.—The delightful change in the weather has
quite revived the hopes of the country. Vegetation has
made the most rapid progress. The pastures have im-
proved as if by magic, and the crops have mended won-
derfully. Altogether the country is looking very luxu-
riant and promising to what it did a fortnight or three
weeks ago. Turnip sowing is in busy operation.—lbid.
The genial heat and snnshine of the last fortnight have
wrought a wonderful change on the general aspect here
of old terra, which seems throbbing in anxious intent yet
to furnish us with an early and abundant harvest.—
North British Daily Mail.
ANOTHER PIRACY CAM—Capt. J. M. Louvel, of the
French schooner Jeune Dieppeis, from Cardiff and Ma-
laga, reports that on the Bth of April last, at 3 p.m,,
when 35 miles W.N.W. off Cape Tresforcas, she was
boarded by Moorish pirates. There were 12 large boats,
containing about 20 Moors in each. Before boarding
they fired eight times at the crew, wounded two of them,
and remained on board from 3 till 9 p.m.; not being able
to take the schooner in tow, they quitted her, after hav-
ing stripped all sails, ropes, provisions, and everything
else that was portable. This is the second French ves-
sel lately taken by pirates ; also one English, the Lively.
It is time something was done at Gibraltar to protect
shipping.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND
PILLS EFFECTED ANOTHER CURE OF BAD LEGS AFTER
FOURTEEN YEARS DURATION.— Mrs. Goatley, of Dart-
ford, was afflicted for 14 years with bad legs, and she
was repeatedly told that it was impossible she could
ever be cured ; 18 months ago ~he became so much
worse that her friends were obliged to carry her up and
down stairs. At Guy's Hospital they refused to re-
ceive her, except as an in-door patient, as it was feared
amputation would be necessary ; she then resolved to
try Holloway's ointment and pills, and in the course of
nine weeks those remedies alone effected a sound and
periect cure.—Sold by all vendors of medicine, and at
