THE lIAUVEST.—A large quantity of wheat has been
cut during the past week in Devonshire, and on Friday
some samplei of new wheat, barley, and oats were
exhibited in the Exeter corn-market. The wheat crop
is most luxuriant, and, if the recent fine weather should
continue, the harvest will be a most abundant one.
The crops of barley and oats are heavy ; the green
crops are exceedingly promising—never mere so. The
potatoes, however, are much diseased in some localitie,,
but a very large breadth has been sown this year, and
at present they are plentiful and cheap. In the western
counties—Somerset, Dorset, Devon, and Cornwall—the
crops are generally promising, and, acoording to the
statements of several eminent agriculturists in each
county, the wheat crop will be fully an average, and in
some districts more than an average, if fine weather
should continue. Barley and oats are equally pro-
mising, and the green crops were never finer. Owing
to the wet weather. a few weeks ago, a large quantity
of hay was spoiled, and the hay harvest generally has
not been a good one. 1
