THE GREAT NATION.4L REGATTA.

THIRD DAY.

The regatta concluded yesterday. The Lord Mayor
was present in his state barge, and there was a brilliant
attendance of spectators. The principal matches con-
tested were a four-oared match for a handsome cutter,
and an eight-oared cutter race, north against south, for
271. The first was won by the " Sons of the Thames,"
composed of the following crew :--T. Mackinney, J.
Mackinney, R. Coombes, and T. Cole, with David
Coombes, steerer. In the second the crews on each
side were excellent, comprising for the north, Wenship,
Davidson, Bruce, Maddison, M. Cook. T. Clasp-r, H.
Clasper, G. Wood, arid J. Candlish, coxswain ; for the
south, T. Cole, R. Coombes, J. Mackinney. T. Coombes,
T. Mackinney, R. Newell, T. Goodman, If, Kel.y, and
John Phelps, coxswain The north crew was the win-
ner by four lengths. This closed the regatta.

Goole Regatta is fixed for the 17th and 18th inst.

T_HE LLARVEST.

THE CROPS.—THE POTATO DISEASE —WORCESTER,
Wednesday.—The weather this week ha been glorious,
and the harvest has already pi-daily commenced in fa-
vourable situation in this county and in Gloucester-
shire. Next week, with continued fine weather,
wheat and barley cutting will become general. The
potatoe disease, I am sorry to report, has made its
appearance, and is extending its ravages. Pota-
toes are cheap, and will continue so, as many parties
are getting up the root and disposing of them as
fast as they can. Dr. Turley, of Worcester, who pays
a great deal of attention to meteorological subjects,
and has occupied some time in investigating the cha•
ratter of the potato failure, reports that the potato
bearing a haulm of the darkest green colour, and
being consequently of the greatest specific gravity, is
the only kind that will sustain the shuck of the dis-
ease. He considers the term disease as a misnomer,
for that is merely an absence of vitality, in the blood or
sap of the plant, which, failing to receive its necessary
amount of electricity from the air, constituted as it now is
so deficient of that quality, returns to the tuber as inert
or poisonous matter, and the vitality of the tuber thus
unsupported perishes. He deems the only possible re-
medy to lie in the arresting of the downward progress
of the sap before it reaches the tuber, either by imme-
diately pulling up the haulms, or cutting them off close
to the earth. This remedy is not a new one ; many
parties state that they have tried it and not succeeded ;
but it will be found that in all cases where the
haulms have been cut and the tubers have afterwards
proved to be diseased, the fault lay in the delay of
the application of the remedy. The moment that the
haulm show symptoms of being affected, they should be
cut off before the vitiated sap can reach the tuber. By
this means Dr. Turley maintains that millions of pounds
weight of this valuable esculent may be saved to the
potato growers in his own neighbourhood.
CHESHIRE. —A correspondent who takes an interest
in farming matters, and who has been inspecting the
district around Chester, writes that the wheat is more
promising than it has been fur years, and that the same
also may be said of barley and oats. Potatoes are ex-
ceedingly fine, and should the weather continue favour-
able, with a good deal of sunshine, there will be little or
no blight. Turnips and mangold wurzel are also much
above the average of last year. It is expected that
wheat will be cut on Sealand next week.—Chester
Chronicle.

WESTMORELAND.—The reports of growing crops con-
tinue satisfactory. In this district the weather has been
broken during the last few days: but thehi have been
intervals of sunshine —Kendal Mercury.
CUMBERLAND.--SiDee Sunday lase the weather has
taken a turn unfavourable for the harvest, rains having
fallen in considerable quantity daily, and the progress of
the crops towards maturity having been much retarded.
—Carlisle Journal.
EssEx.—Several fields of wheat were cut in dif-
ferent parts of this county in the early part of the
week ; oats and barley, too, have begun to yield to
the scythe ; but the harvest will not become general
for another week. Indeed, the late wet weather
has somewhat checked the prospects last week enter-
tained of a more rapid ripening and ingathering of the
crops than had at one period of the season been looked
for, and we fear the heavy rains of this week have
laid the wheat and barley to some extent. Generally, the
former is described as still wearing a fine appearance,
hut c ,mplaints reach us from some quarters.—Chelm.
ford Chronicle.

•
THE STATE OF THE CROPS —Gardeners Chronicle con.
tains tabular return! of the app,-arance of the crops from
ins correspondents, in most parts of the kingdom. Of
the result of these returns, the G trderters' Chronicle
gives the following summary :—" It will be seen that
there is unusual promise of an abundant proAirre of
wheat, and that oats and barley are good, much better
than the very dry cold seed time led most of us to antici-
pate—that beans are very generally injured by blight
and fly in the south—that the hay crop is unusually
light, and much of it badly harvested—that the green
crops generally promise well—and that there is a more
general and earlier complaint of the potato disease than
there has been for several past years. A rapid journey
northwards from London and through several of the
eastern counties of Scotland enable us to add our testi-
mony to that of correspondents in Fifeshire, the Lo-
thians, and Berwickshire, as to the magnificent crops of
all kinds which cover the ground. The turnips already
very generally hide the land ; the wheat is fine, and the
oats and barley are very good. Crops, too,
i are more
forward as to ripeness in the Lothians and n Fifeshire
than in the northern and central counties of England."
