TIM-HARVEST AND THE CROPS.
DONCASTER.--The harvest has commenced in this
neighbourhood under an3picious circumstances; end,
she teld fine 'weather continue to prevail, it will he in full
operation In the course of a few days, excepting in the
lower localities The crops, particularly of wheat and
barl,y, are remarkable promising. The ears are not
only large, but there is an abutelaece of straw. The
b,rley crop is plentiful. In some instant's, where it has
been more than usually heavy, it has twen laid—a cir-
cumstance which may be attended with the effect of de-
preciating the quality of the grain. In others, it is
everything that could be reasonably desired. The ben
crop, on the other hand, will prove a serious failure, and
probably enhance the future price of oats. The lain
which fell on Monday last has proved very beneficial to
the turnip and the potato crops, which were suffering
under the late prevailing drought. As to the latter de-
scription of produce, there is also a promise of abun-
dance; and the reporta which lately prevailed, as to the
re-appearance of the disease of last year, appear to be
now totally disregarded.
One or two fields of wheat were cut at 'Feickleet and
Skelton, near Howden, on Monday last. The wheat
cro- s are exeeedingly promising in this neighbourhood.
The low temperature of June, 1847, readily accounts
for the harvest being a week later than lust year; but
the high temperature of July bas accelerated the ripen •
ing of the various crops of grain, and, should it contiuue,
reaping will commence generally in the course of next
week.

EAST RETFORD.—It is with no ordinary degree of
satisfaction that we have to announce the commencement
of harvest generally in this district. During the month
of June predictions were rife that we were certain to
have a backward harvest and a short cramp. But in the
meantime " what hath God wrought?" Insti ad of a
backward harvest, the " appointed weeks" have arrived,
as early as usual, and the merry voice of the reapers now
r, sounds through hill and dale in every direction.—
Doncaster Gazette.

KINGSBRIDGE..-- Harvest has commenced in this n igh-
bourhuod, and a few fields are cut. It will be general in
the course of another week; all appearance of the potato
disease has vanished.

BODMIN —THE POTATO CROP.—The disefwe has again
manifested itself in 'he potatos, in many patches of which
tn:ty be seen Week and withered leaves. Many person
are f ryinv to save the root by pulling away the atalks.—
Cheltenham Examiner.

The harv( st field has been entered upon in various
places in the neighbourhood of Loughborough, and so
tar as we ere able at pr• sent to ascertain, gives sarisfac-
!iuu to all parties. as it applie• to what, barley, oats
and potatoes. The beans slid peas have suffered im.a•
materially, especially the tormer. There are
potafres to be purchased at sd. per gallon.—Aottitighom
Review

I )UNDFE.—Crops of every kiwi, the potato note x
cepted, are luxuriant in the extreme. The damage-
s Astained by tl.e late Leavy rains is trifling. An end of
a rig here and eh, re, and the face of a brae, are the only
pieces where yea can discover any lotignunt. For hay
and turnip the like was never seen in this quarter, only
the clever is a little thin, hut it is elme cted to be fuller
by the second cutting.—Dundee Advertiser,
PERTHSHIRE.—Judging from present appearance s,
we have no hesitation to award to the farmer at 1. ast
20 per cent. on the bulk of his hay, barley, anti wheat
crops, above the average return of the last seven years
Hay is in general already safely secured in the tramp
rick ; and, by the seta weather of the last few days. anti
a pretty full proportion of clover, the aftermath is in a
fair way of yielding considerably more than an average
of superior quality. Wheat and barley may, by their
very profusion, be in danger of being in some
degree deteriorated by excess of moisture ; but
they are already so far advanced, and hasten
ing so rapidly to maturity, as to be in some
places changing their hue, and consequently may escape
from even this danger. We delimit speak in such flatter-
ing terms of oats, especially in the lower districts ef the
ceuety, where they suffered, in some localities, towards
the end of May, by the devastations of the grub or wire.
worms. They tillered well by the fine weather which
succeeded, but they are still thin and straggling in some
patches, and appear somewhat irregular in their pro-
gress towards maturity. This applies, however, only to
the cold bottoms of the lower districts. Throughout
the Highland districts they are uniformly a splendid
crop, but they will be nowhere an early one. The bean
and pease crops are bath unprecedentedly heavy. and
podding tuicemmonly well. It is now beyond a doubt
that, from their well known feeding qualities, and the
unusual extent to which they are this season cultivated,
on account of the fears entertained of the potato crop,
they will go far to make up for any deficiencies in
feeding materials that may arise from the scantiness of
that indispensaLle requisite in the farmer's catalogue.—
Weekly Register.
SKYE, JULY 17.—The weather continued exceedingly
fine till the middle of last week. when it broke, and
from that until now we have had heavy showers, mixed
with sunshine and heat, even to sultriness; all of which
varieties have tended to have their favourable influence
on the crops, which continue to grow most luxuriantly,
and promise an early as well as an abundant harveit to
us here, and which, of course, is felt very cheering.
The weather i* again everything that can be desired,
and the cereal crops are ripening fast. Several fields of
barley and oats in this neighbourhood and in the Black
Isle will be ready for the seekle in a few days. The
barley, oats, and wheat, about Fort George, are expected
ro he r ady about the 12. h current. A field of barley
was cu.. and staked yesterday on the farm occupied by
Mr. A. Faleoeer, Smithso) of Ardersier, and :,neither
on the emit of Catnpbellton, belonginv to Mr. Huth
Jack, cooper, there. The quality of both crops is excel-
I. nt. The hz.y is in the statkpird, and stacks are all
hut finished. Turnips never looked better in the fields
than they are now doing. Potatoes are nearly ripe. T.,
all appearance the crops or every kind will be most abun-
dant. In the gardens the late high winds have shaken
town the apples to come extent.--Inverness Courier.
POTATO CULTURE —John Grant, gardener, at Ivy_
bank, has :ion! tp. a few puta;oes of the American prolific
species, which have arrived at coasideruble size and
aiattni,y, rio.ed by •he following process. Early in
,ason he plaited the sets in the usual way, and a hen
uckers had ma le some progress, be took cuttit.g* from
hem and transplanted th. m, of which the bulb* handed
o uv are the produce, and seem quite sound and healthy.
Nairn Mirror.

" The wind and rain, on the morning of Friday_ last,
lodged considerable portions of the weightier parts of the
crops; and the heavy rains of Tuesday and Wedm sday
greatly augmented the evil. Much rain has fallen during
!he week; and some of the best fields in Morayshire are
completely laid down. The reports concerning the
potatoes are of a very conflicting nature. But it seems
to be beyond all doubt that the disease has appeared in
the eastern part of Scotland, though to what extent we
nave not been able to ascertain. Up till this week the
reports have been of the most favourable description;
.mod everywhere potatoes gave great promise. We trust,
however, that the disease may be but partial—at pres.-nt
the only authentic reports of its appearance in Scotland
are from the east coast."— Elgin Courier.
The accounts from the potato growing districts are not
in coleur de rose as they were. They are not positively
lesponding, but they are no longer brilliantly sanguine.
Whole fields in some districts are beginning to wear a
-uspicious look. At the same time our correspondents
Lssure us, that nothing decidedly alarming must be in-
Tred from this. In every case where the tops have

one, they tell us that these are potatoes of an early
kind, which must have changed in a few weeks, and
,nat, in all likelihood, they have been prematurely pushed
to wear an appearance of decay by the hot weather.
rhe wheat cramps have a splendid promise.—Liverpool
Chronicle._ _ _ .

Every description of grain in this locality presents the
most favourable and cheering prospect. The potato
;ells seem in better and fresher condition than at any
previous period—no person has complained as yet of
1. blight. One feature in the potato is this year very
r•:murkkble, that the seed has been nowhere known to
•ail. a thing quite common in other years.—Galway
Nercury.
EARLY HARVEST.—We have seen a sample of very fine
ats from a field just cut down, in the• vicinity of I)un-
-41k. and on the property of Capt. Purcell. 'rhe grain
nationally luxuriant and full.—Louth ddthytiler.

DUNBAR HERRING-FISHING, AUGUST 3.—Since
our last, this fishing has been gradually improving, and
the number of ,boats on the increase. To-day it is un-
precedentedly good for the season. Some boats reach
forty trans, and all have been fortunate. Several
stranger vessels are in the Bay and Harbour, and pur-
chases are made at from 15s. to
30s. per cran. Two
small Yarmouth vessels will have their compliment to-
zight. Crews of some boats have made fully 301. by
