THE CROPS IN SOMERSETSEHRE.—The weather until'yesP
terday (Tuesday) has been in a very unsettled condition,
with scarcely a fine day during the past week. The ci•opn
are progressing, although slowly, to maturity, and, 011
the whole, their appearance is spoken of favourably.
Still with blight and mildew prevailing it is too early to
give an opinion as to the yield, especially as the exoefin
of wet and the want of sun have exercised an unfavour-
able effect. The hay crop will be a bad one, worse than
last year.
