THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
NORTH NOTTINGIIAMSHIRE.—WHEATS.-11.1 order to
obtain as correct information as possible on the state of
the growing crops, we have recently made very extensive
tours throughout this entire district, and find that in the
north clays the crops was never recollected to have a
more promising appearance. At Grove, Treswell, Ramp'
ton, North and Satith Leverton, Sturton, North and
South Wheatley., Bole, &c., all concur in this opinion.
In the early part of some years the plant becomes spite,
or what is commonly called " prick-eared," in which case
an abundant yield need never be calculated upon. Bat
the present growing crops are the very reverse cf this.
In April the stems seemed to lower to the ground, and
this has enabled the plant to stool in a remarkable de-
gree, so that no fear of a thinness of stem need be glad"
cipatad. On the loamy and calcareous soils, too, the
plant is equally strong and luxuriant; and it is to be
feared that in the earn and commons of Gringley, Ever-
ton, Misterttn, and Misson, there ma ultimately be!'
superabundance of straw, which may prove a drawback
we
to the general crop, should the forcing weather coati
as at the present time. On the forest lands, head
some time back that the plant was somewhat thin on theto
extremely light soils ; but our recent visit enables
state that a finer prospect never presented itself. East,
west, north, and south the eye is gratified with the
luxuriant crops ; and, we say it without fear of c"a'ss,
diction, that a spring so promising of plenty of food In
man and for beast has not been witnessed for sell;
years. Within the last few days such a stimulnassseh
been given to all descriptions of growing crops, an" it
a change has been effected in the face of nature, tba
may truly be said " the clouds drop fatness.* ha eV
BARLEY.—The long-continued and somew—t of
tremely severe winter protracted the comment enien-io,
spring sowing to a somewhat later period than
but such was not without the most beneficial influence
upon the state of the soil. The lengthened frost we," of
experienced canapletely pulverised the soil, and a at.tai,
dry weather setting in, the barley went in in °Pia)
condition, and finding a dry bed and a loamy soil, W
sufficient moisture in the sub-soil, it was remarked tle
no sooner was the seed deposited than the blade eit •
visible ; and this very circumstance, in the view of
practical farmer, augured well for the future well-being
of the plant. Subsequently we had a succession of frosts'
which it was greatly feared would damage the
plant. This, however, it did not do ; but on many.d

the prosperous state of the growing crops ; the len" ell
well covered in, and thus the moisture will be reser/es
in the soil, which last season was abstracted before

now reasonably anticipated.
OATS.—Many of the remarks made relative to 1,,f
barley crop, are equally applicabl, to this de:criptits°o
grain. Soon after the blade made its appearan. e anal
ground, it was asserted that on many of the soils 0'0.7.,

its unhallowed functions, much to the annoyance eh,
farmer and the detriment of the crops. The rain, e°

complaints are now beard of its causing further miseutba

narily so. On some of the higher and colder soils,

about Grove, it is later, but even here the beneficial
change of weather is fast taking effect.
POTATOES.—If we may judge from what has already
and the
happened in Ireland,that the
want which has been
experienced in our own country from the partial failure
of this valuable edible for the last two or three years, its
future well.being and prosperity must be of the highest
importance to all classes ; and it is most important to
have some accurate information as to present appear.,
aneos and future prospects. At present it would be pre-
mature to offer any decided opinion upon the subjeet•
but we may state that these prospects are much brighter
and more favourable, and present appearances indicate
that the disease has either passed, or is fast passing
away. The young plants in the open air look remark-
ably vigorous and healthy, and even those already arrived
at maturity in the frames have been found almost en-
tirely, it not altogether, free from disease.
Hors.—lt was exceedingly late before the blues made
their appearance above the surface this spring, and evoa
when they did so it was only to suffer a loss. The severe
frosts of April had a most telling effect upon the young
shoots, and left them in such a plight as to have the ar
pearance of having been scathed with fire. This state
of things was followed by another of more serious' tin-
port—viz , the appearance of the flea in considerable
numbers, which produced immense mischief.'
species of insect generally appears in the early part of
the year, when the nights are cold and frosty and the
days hot and dry, and this was especially the case two
or three weeks ago. The insect on- the occasion of
which we are speaking actually eat off the tender tops as
fast as they came to the surface, and left the rest of the
bine in the most shattered condition imaginable. During'
the last few days, however, they have nearly vanished'
and the plants are showing signs of great improvement;
yet we have frequently observed in former years, they
leave the plant more exposed to the attacks of other
diseases.—Kollingliant Journal.

A fatal accident occurred in that part of the River
just opposite Brewer's Quay, late last night. The captain of
the schooner John, just arrived from a foreign voyage, in
attempting to go on board the Giraffe steamer, on some
business with the officer of the Customs, missed his footing
and fell into the River ; the body was found this morning,
and, from its appearance, there must have been great 300
endured by deceased, as, in addition to a severe contusion on
the forehead, the thumb of one of his hands WAS torn from
the socket ; most likely in his fall the hand came in contat
with a link of the mooring chain, and becoming entangle,the
hie
weight tore away the finger. What greatly adds to that
melancholy character of the event is, the circumstance
