THE HARVEST.

IRELAND.—Notwithstanding the continuance of fine
weather and the prospect of a harvest of at least average
abundance, prices of all kinds of provisions are rapidly
rising, and, unless some unforeseen change take place,
there is no doubt that the pressure of the present high
rates will be felt as keenly in the coming winter by con-
sumers in the large towns as it was in the two years
succeeding the great potato failure. Meanwhile the
exportations of stock to England from all the Irish sea-
ports are becoming larger every day. The shipments
of black cattle from Dublin alone far exceed those of
any former season, not only in numbers, but in the
quality and condition of the stock. From morning
till night drove after drove pass down the long line
of quays leading to the North-wall, and perhaps the
only marvel is, that notwithstanding this continued
drain, butchers' meat is to be had at any price
in the Dublin markets. Bacon is high—the rates
yesterday at Spitalfields being 81d. per lb. for prime,
and Bd. for inferior quality. Bread, butter, eggs—in
fact every consumable article--is advancing in the same
ratio. The agricultural classes, at all events, have no
reason to complain of this state of affairs. A much
more prosperous year for that interest could scarcely
be conceived. A letter from Waterford mentions that
a day or two ago a field of standing oats, consisting
of three acres, sold for the enormous sum of 401.,
being one fourth higher than the same quantity re-
alised in the most palmy days of the last great Euro-
ropean war. _

NORTH OF SCOTLAND.—Harvest in the north of Scot-
land is proceeding favourably. The weather has become
dry and warm, and a great deal of corn has been cut.
The oats are below an average crop, but the quality is
very fine, and the deficiency will not be much felt. Tur-
nips have recovered by the late rains, and are now in a
very healthy and promising state. The potato crop is
most abundant, and quite free from disease.
ESSEX.—The weather from the commencement of the
last week has been most auspicious, and farm opera-
tions, as regard the harvest, have progressed most satis-
factorily. The wheat throughout the county has gene-
rally been secured with little damage to the grain, fur-
ther than that a large proportion has been prematurely
carried, which will retard the process of thrashing
for several months to come, but will not ultimately
affect the quality, which, so far as we have seen, will
upon the whole be equal to that of average seasons. No
doubt whatever exists that the deficiency, arising from
a less number of acres sown on the one hand, and the
deficiency of the yield upon the other, will reduce the
produce of this county from 25 to 30 per cent. below
an average. The barley crop is now principally cut,
and, with fine weather, might readily he gathered to the
rickyards. The yield will certainly fall short of gene-
ral expectation. The quality also, independent of any
contingency of weather, will not be fine, whilst a large
proportion will be of inferior quality. The oat crop, at
a late period, improved beyond our expectation, and
with the exception of those pieces upon the heavy clay
lands, will be a fair one.

NORTH OF ENGLAND.—The weather, last week, has
been favourable for harvest operations, and reaping has
been general all over the district. Some of the wheat,
however, is yet green, and requires a week or two to
ripen fully. The report from Alnwick is, that the
various crops are rapidly approaching maturity ; but,
from the advanced period at which some of the
spring corn was sown, it is likely to be a pro-
tracted harvest. In the neighbourhood of Darlington
the weather during the latter part of last week was cold,
wet, and stormy. On Sunday it had rather improved and
has since been exceedingly fine. The autumn-sown
wheat has been principally gathered in and secured in
excellent condition, and from the size and weight of the
ears affords promise of a good yield. Much of the
spring-sown is far from ripe and will require two or
three weeks to bring it to maturity. In the North
and East Ridings of Yorkshire the breadth of land under
wheat this year is less than usual, in consequence
of the unfavourable seed-time. The wold lands
are, however, an exception. The sowing there, from
the character of the land, is very little interrupted by
wet weather. The expectation is, that the yield per
acre will be barely an average, and that the quality
will be pretty good. More land has been sown with
barley than usual. It is everywhere a large crop.
The yield per acre will be good, and also the
quality. There is about the usual extent of land
under oats. The yield is expected to be good, and
the quality fair. The straw is short. Beans and
peas are various in quality. In other respects they
present the usual appearance. Turnips are very back-
ward, although they have improved considerably of late.
Potatoes are abundant, and although the disease is
showing itself, it does not exist to any great extent. In
Yorkshire reaping is general. Few complaints are
made as to the yield, and the quality is undoubted, the
weather since Saturday, south of Darlington, being
everything that could be desired.—Newcastle Guardian.
