REPORT FOR JULY. •
. .
• Tnr growing. crops .of I'Vfle_•at hav,e Stiffered
several Distrifts by the heilvy rains 'which fell about
flit middle of the'hiorith; hat the light Barleys and-
Oats haire receil'ea much bczeilt 'fikom'tli-n. Rye
has been cut ariti'darted in theldome Circuit. Pease
prove-a good average crop, an considerable breadth
of-the.c4arly stirtg.lrave been hoOked; and samples of
the forwardest have already been at market. • The
WbeatlarVest ingenerat will be backward, although
`several thin pieces
,on- the light soils of Surrey are
alrqdy cut, and,; though thin, are likely to, rise.and
weigh well. The Hay harvest in the Shires, and to
the.. Northward towards Wales, has. been mUch.re-
taided and injured by the constant rains;' great,part
of it still remains abroad. The Lattermath.Grass
Will be abundant in most Countries.
,So film a !at-
ter' planting 'season for Turnips has not been-remem-
bered for many years; those of War.vickshire and
Shropshire -are the most promising .ever known in
those parts. Potatoes are every where
,expeCied to
yield a large average produce. The. Hops are much
improved in• Kent and SUssek,, and even the Wor-
cestershire and Herefordshire grounds now promise
for three-fourths of a crop. The Meat MarketS
continue reasonable, from good slipplies, except in
Veal, which has been• scarce in .prime quality, in
consequence of the long draught. Lean Beasts have •
experienced a further redu&ion in prices since the
last Report, of nearly temper cent. Store Hogs are
in considerable 'demand, and fetch more money.-
Horses of most kinds are cheaper, and dull of sale,
• The Wool Markets are also lower for almost every
quality or fleece, except the 'best bred Merino kind,
which find a ready, sale, at good prices. •

Lynceus was the favourite:, 6 to 4 on the field,.p and.

between the three horses first in, and in which great
skill was displayed .by all the riders. Newmarket'
won it by about half a length. After the first heat,
the odds were 2to I, and sto 2, that Newmarket
did not win the secbod. Norval was drawn.;- Lyn-
ceus pushed Newmarket in &spirited style forabout
half a mile, but was ultimately. beat . easily. The
last heat was not coneluded'until some time. after

The eleaion. for the Borongli of Seaford Com-
menced on Monday. There wc:re two 'candidates,
the, Hon. Mr. WELLESLEY and Mr. LEACH. iVir.
WELLESLEY polled • 42, and Mr. LEACH 64. The
latter was of' cdurse successful, as the whole. nuin-.

Tuesday another unfortunate woman attempted
to. droWn herself in the Serpentine River, but was.
rescued from the rash attempt by a Gentleman, just
as she was about to plunge into the water. The ac-
count she.gave of herself was, that she was a ntmery-
maid to some tradesman's family in Oxford-street,
.and had come out with two of her master's children
t'o walk in Hyde Park, and being p;,?rsuaded, by ano-
ther woman, who pretended to know . her, to go
into a public house, she became so intoxicated, that
,on her return into .he Park, .she
,sgt down and fell
asleep, when her companion coaxed away the chil-
dren. After sore time the Unfortunate, girl awoke,
and missing her charge, she f)rmed the, desperate
resolution to drown herself. The Gentleman gave.
her in charge to some persons who promised to con-.
du& her to her master's house, in Order to give such
a description of the 'person,of the woman who took
away the. Children as may possibly, afford some clue
to discover her.
