THE HARVES',

wring the last ten or twelve days the general state of
the weather throughout the northern parts of the kingdom
has been extremely favourable for the operations of the har-
vest ; and the produce of considerable breadt.l7.s of land has
been reaped in better condition than, judgireg-from previous
indications, had been expected. This neighbourhood has
shared in this great advantage in the aerurity of he harvest.
The bean crops have been cut in the most satisfactory mari-
ner ; the second clover crop, wiaich presents great abun-
dance, will soon be secured in, good condition ; and while
the finest opportunity has ben presented for housieg those
remaining portions of grain whiell had been already cut. t he
effect upon the turnip lands, after the prevalence of the late
rain, has been remarkably striking. This crop will this
year present an unusual abundance ; and that of the po-
tatoe will partake of the same character. The abundance,
indeed, with which the earth has teemed, contrary at one
time, to general expectation, is a blessing truly estimable ;
and while the labours of .the farmer have been crowned
with success, the trading, manufacturing, and commercial
portions of the community, will, during the approaching
winter, share in the general good, and view their revising
prospects further brightened.---Doncaster Gazette.
During the past week (says a Ross-shire correspondent
of the Inverness Cowie)) we had splendid harvest weather,
and the farmers were very active in cutting down and
gathering their crops. In general the crop may be consi-
dered nearly an average, but cannot with fairness be esti-
mated above that medium. It may be observed that har-
vest work was fully as far advanced at this period of the
season last year as it is now, so that twat remains on the
fields, cut and uncut, cannot be pronounced out of dan-
ger. One-third of the crop is scarcely yet in the farm-
yard, and not above the one-half cut down, and if the wea-
ther should unfortunately break up rapidly, much damage
roust ensue, in low as well as in high districts ; but we must
not forebode evil. On many extensive and well-cultivated
farms in Easter and Wester Ross, turnips may be said to
be a failure, and not exceeding half a crop. The failure is
very conspicuous where bone-dust has been used ; a repe-
tition of that substitute for court-manure, properly 'pre-
pared, does not seem to suit our northern soils. It would
perhaps, however, be too rash to judge finally, and there-
fore our farmers must put it to the test by another impar-
tial trial. We had frost this morning, which is in autumn
invariably the fore-runner of rain ; it is to be hoped, not-
withstanding, that this indication will not hold true at this
time, as the barometer stands (two o)clock p.m.) at " set
fair," without any visible inclination to recede.
For the last ten days the weather has been uncommonly
favourable, not a drop of rain having fallen during this
period. The operations of the harvest have in consequence
been carried on with unremitted vigour, and everything has
been carried off the fields in excellent condition. Within
twenty miles of Edinburgh the harvest may be said to be
brought to a close, scarcely any portion of the produce re-
maining in the fields.—Edinburgh Evening Courant.
FALKIRK.—Never within our memory, or that of the
oldest person, have the carses exhibited the splendid and
cheering aspect under which they now glisten. The weather
is all that could be desired, and every field in which a stook
was standing a few days ago, is being rapidly cleared by the
exertions of the husbandman. Beans were commenced on
a good many farms to be stacked on Monday, and as there
is every assurance that our favourable season will be
lengthened till the harvest-home be consummated, we may
expect to see the moorlands on an early day as bare as the
more genial lowlands.—Scoisman.
The reports from Ireland are extremely favourable.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MIIRKE7', SEPT. 30.
We have hail only a moderate demand for Cotton this week, and
buyers, having more choice, have effected their purchases on rather
snore favourable terms, holders having submitted to a decline of 1,4 d.
to 'Ad. per lb. in American descriptions. For Brazils the inquiry
has been on a limited scale, and !4'l. per lb. decline has been estab-
lished in them. Egyptian is difficult of sale, and the common qua-
Hies are 1/4(1. lower; for the finer kinds there is but little demand,
though we quote no decline. Surats are not readily saleable, and the middle qualities may be quoted lisd. lower. We had yesterday
only a limited attendance of the trade, and the market closed hea-
vily. During the week 1,000 American have been taken on specu-
lation, and 1,000 American, 550 Surat, and 40 Bengal for export ;
and, in the month, there has been forwarded into the country, un-
sold, 3,330 American, 1,100 Egyptian, 220 Peruvian, and 350
Bahias, in ,pll 5,000 bags.
