THE HARVEST.

We are told there never was a greater improvement in
the growing crops generally, than there has been during
the last week or ten days. The clovers are very good aIH
most everywhere, and coming fast into blossom, and there'
are several pieces of grass already cut. The forward Swedes'
are a good deal bitten by the fly. The ground works
re-
markably well for 'the turnip sowing ; and the wheat fal-;
lows, in the Weald, are in a very good state, generallyl
speaking. The flock-masters have lately had rather severel
losses in their lambs, and the flocks are for the most part'
very poor.—Brighton Gazelle.
Since Thursday last we have had the most favourable
weather for bringing fora and the different crops. We may'
s.iy that since then we have had rain and sunshine equally.'
The quantity of rain that fell on Friday night, caused thel
river to overflow its banks miles below Glasgow.—G/as-I
r.gow Chronicle.

Mowing has commenced under the most auspicious cir-
cumstances in the immediate vicinity of this town, and be-
fore the week has expired, will be very general through-
Out the neighbourhood, should the weather continue fine.
The late penetrating rains have had the best effect upon
the grass, and an abundant " shear" is fully expected. Some
of the cider-growers in this neighbourhood, speak of a re-
cent blight upon the apple-trees. From a variety of in-,
quirks, however, that we have made, we are glad to find
it is but paitial.—Tawilon Courier.

We are sorry to hear that a blight has appeared in the'
orchards in some situations in this county, to a consider-'
able extent. The late rains have nearly doubled the crops
,of grass, but the hay harvest has not yet commenced in'
this vicinity.—Hereford Journal. _

The bark seasonlas latterly proved very favourable in
this county, 'and the present prices are—stock 6!., cop-
pice W. 10s. per ton. One of the largest ricks Been here
for some years has been formed at the usual place, near
St. Martin's-street, in this city. It is from thirty to forty
feet high, is supposed to contain about 700 tons, and is,
consequently, worth some thousands of pounds.—Here-i'
ford Journal.

COURT CIRCULAR.

THE QUEEN.

KENSINGTON, THURSDAY EVENING.—ShortIy after five
o'clock on Wednesday afternoon her Majesty, accompanied
by the Duchess of Kent, left Kensington Palace, in a private'
open barouche, without any attendants, for the purpose of
taking an airing. After proceeding across Westbourne-
green, to some distance down the Harrow-road. her Majesty
and her illustrious mother alighted from the carriage and
'walked for about a quarter of an hour. They then returned
Ito Kensington Palace, where they arrived a few minutes
before seven o'clock. Her Majesty on going looked rather
(pale, from the fatigues of the day, but on her return she
appeared much refreshed.

During yesterday large numbers of the nobility and gentry
called at the apartments of the Duchess of Kent, the Duke
of Sussex, and the Princess Sophia, with cards of condo-
lence and congratulation. Prom two o'clock until past six
o'clock there was one continued line of carriages, extending
ito the bottom of the Palace avenue.

In the early part of the day her Majesty gave audiences
to the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Lansdowne,l
Lord Teignmouth, Sir J. C. Hobhouse, &c. About four
o'clock his Majesty the King of Hanover arrived in an open
barouche for the purpose of taking leave of her Majest3
previous to his embarking for his dominions.
A few minutes before six o'clock this evening her: Ma.
jesty, accompanied by the Duchess of Kent, the Princess of
Leinengen, and Baroness Lehzen, left the Palace in a ba-
rouche with four horses and outriders, for an airing, in the
Regent's Park. Her Majesty, we rejoice to say, looked
much better than yesterday.
The Duke of Sussex, accompanied by Mademoiselle
',l) Este, also took an airing in his private carriage.

CITY ADDRESS OF CONGRATULATION.—Yesterday, at
noon, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and others of the municipal
authorities, proceeded from Guildhall to Kensington Palace,
in order to learn from her Majesty on what day it would be
convenient for her to receive the Deputation with the Civic
Address of Congratulation on her accession to the Throne
of the United Kingdom.
Previous to the appearance of our young Queen at the,
window of St. James's Palace yesterday morning, she'
anxiously inquired of the great offiCers of State as to the
etiquette observed in the proclamation. Her Majesty said
that she wished to follow the example of King William
[V. on the same occasion.

Orders have been received at Buckingham Palace to pre-
pare the apartments for the inspection of the Queen, who
will make her first visit there early in the ensuing week.
It is expected that a drawing-room will be held about
five weeks after the burial of the King.
