%OWL TOUR. —His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant
itirived aTitileascommon last Thursday. Several addresses have
been presented to the Marquis on his tour, which demonstrate
the entire oonfidencie and love with which he is regarded by
the Irish-rople. We concur with the Pilot in opinion that
"no Governor ever received or deserved so many tributes of
respect and affection. Such intercourse between the ruler
and the ruled cannot occur too frequently—it is the best secu-
rity for public confidence and tranquillity."
TIIE HA RVEST. —The Dublin Evening Post of Saturday
reports favourably of the then state of the weather, and states
that no great or extensive injury had been suffered by the
crops.
The Evening Packet of the same day has the following re-
marks on the subject :—" If we were not to look beyond the
provincial journals last received, we should despair of that
which we confidently calculate upon, an abundant harvest.
At home the weather was very bad during Wednesday and
Thursday, the rain falling. very heavily, and wind blowing
from the south-west very strongly, nearly twenty-four
hours. Throughout the county of Dublin, so far as we
have seen, and we have traversed a great portion of it
since Sunday, the corn crops look well, and the potatoes
arpear superabundant. In many parts the wheat is cut,
and in stooks. At the south side, in the direction of Tal-
laght, wheat was cut on Monday ; and at the north side, at
Donebate, by the sea side, three miles beyond Swords, a Mr.
Dick has already saved 100 acres, of which we have seen a
good average sample. Such is the anxiety felt at this trying
crisis, upon this important subject, that people's fears generally
prevail over their better desires. All kinds of grain fell from
6d. to is. the barrel, at the Dublin market, yesterday, not-
withstanding the gloomy and truly disheartening appearance
of the two preceding days. The gleam of sunshine brought
good spirits, and with them good humour, which always in-
spires confidence. We have had a little rain this morning,
but not sufficient to cause any despondence."
Some of the provincial Papers received to-day, from some
of which we subjoin an extract, speak in a tone of alarm of the
necessary consequences of the late desperate weather ; but
they do not go so far as to speak of any positive or extensive
mischief. From the southern districts we learn that con-
siderable breadths of wheat have been laid ; but it is hoped
that the change has come in sufficient time to prevent a second
grog: th.

FERMANAGIL—From the present state of the weather the
crops arc in a most critical state. As yet the damage, if any,
must be trifling ; but a few days, wet or fine, will decide the
matter. It has been one continued fall of rain since Monday
night, not unattended with wind.

-CLARE.—The present alarming state of the weather has
created great fears for the Corn crops. In general the entire
crops in this county, up to the period of the late rains com-
mencing—from all the information we could collect—looked
promising, and a full average one, but the present rains and
wind must have seriously damaged them. The Corn in the
Western part of the county was, before the rains in the last
ten days, very promising, but it must have suffered more than
the crops inland ; and this, unless the weather clears very
quickly, will seriously affect the general supply of the county.
Notwithstanding the failure in many of the early plantings of
potatoes, the second sowing appears to have succeeded admi-
rably, but the continued wet will, it is feared, give more stalk
than fruit. Our present prospect appears, therefore, rather
discouraging. The hay crop promises to be abundant if the
weather clears up sufficient to allow of its being saved.
Clare Journal.

We regret to learn from our correspondent in the west of
this county, that durin,P the four days, Sunday to Wednesda)
la inclusive, the wind blew ,n strouz Fro in the north west,
ecompanied with incessant, heavy and cold rain, that very
little of the corn brie escaped injury—the effect hs3 been truly
disastrous ; wherever the grain wa3 ripening, the ground is
literally strewed with it, and so beaten down that it would ap-
pear as if every corn field was trampled. The small rivers
are so swollen from mountain floods, that vast quantities of
hay, cut and uncut, on the low grounds, have been either
washed away or covered with mud and sand. The potatoe
crop, that escaped the failure, is seriously injured by wet, and
