HARVEST PROSPECTS IN SCOTLAND.—We have
seldom seen the crops make so little progress at
midsummer as they have done during the last two weeks.
The cold nights—many of them frosty in the uplands—
have caused almost a stoppage of growth. Wheat is shoot-
ing slowly out. and oats and turnips have been brought
nearly to a stand still. There has been wonderfully little
growth of grass since the end of May, and farmers are
under the necessity of using large quantities of in-door
food. The Ganes must therefore again be under an average.
The prospect at present is altogether most unlike what
might have been anticipated at Whitsunday, when there
seemed much reason to hope for a bountiful season. The
crops are all late, but a few sunny days such as we now
enjoy may cause a favourable change in their appearance.

A letter from Berlin, in the Monde, says :—"'The
works on the towers of Cologne cathedral require
the employment of larger sums than those which
have been hitherto devoted annually to the com-
pletion of the building. In order to meet this
want, the Government has authorised a lottery for
the benefit of that important work. The amount
will be .500,000 thalers, in tickets of one thaler each,
with a net profit of 300,000 th. This is the first
time that a lottery has been permitted for such a
purpose in this country, where the State has the
monopoly of lotteries, and derives an annual profit
of 5,000,000 th., besides enriching its agents."
