THE HARVEST.

The weather has been bright, but, for the season, un-
usually 'cold. The harvest has partially commenced
round this neighbourhood, but, owing to the 'ate rains
and wind, the corn has beenimuch laid, awl consequently
in many places is still quite green, On the contrary,
however, we have seen some fine fields of grain, which
appear to have sustained no injury-fro:n the recent rains.
The turnip plant looks well, and a full crop may he re-
lied on. A good second hay crop may be expected.—
Cambridge Advertiser.

The wheat; barley, and oats,- have been very much in-
jured by the high wind and rain the wheat in several
fields has grown from the ear,' and if this inclement
weather continues, the consequences dill be veryserions.
Reapinr, has commenced in the neighbourhood of Peck-
ham, and will become general there next
stoneweek.---211aid-
Journal.

The wheat harvest in this neighbourhood is now be-
come pretty general, and there will be a fair average
crop.—Bury Herald.
The long-continued wet weather has had a most dis-
astrous effect on the hay crops in many parts of this
county, and large quantities have been totally spoiled. A
considerable breadth of barley has been laid by the
heavy rains, and the quality thereby much damaged.
Wheat and oats generally look well, and of those an
abundant crop may be anticipated should the weather
prove favourable.—Boston Herald.

NEw Roms Ev.z—The harvest has partially commenced
in the marsh, the wheats are very much scrawled and in-
jured by the 'wet, pease have also suffered much, and tile
hay-making has been deplorable.—Kentish Gazette.
C soow.—The weather continues variable—at, one
time showers of rain, and anon sunshine. The crops are
still looking well, but dry weather for a few da7s would
would be highly acceptable. All accounts agree that
there is a prospect of an abundant harvest ; and if the
weather continue favourable, so as to allow it to be safely
got in, it is not likely that the price will rise to he im-
portation level.—Glasymv Courier.
RENFIZEWSHIRE.—The past week has been a most
favourable one for ripening and maturing. Dur'aig the
beginning of last week we had a few warm sunshine
days ; the latter half has been warm and 00-tidy, with
occasional showers, well calculated to refresh the pota-
toes, turnips, and even the oaterop, which too much heat
ripens pronaturel. The hay crop is now completely se-
cured in this district, and comin forward to market ;
and although it is ratbur under au average crop this sea-
aopfloieaatis-a,
son, the current prices are low. All din other descrip-
tions of crop continue to exhibit an early and luxuriant.

With respect to the harvest, it will be late ; there are,

COMMENCEMENT OF THE HARVE:T.—Notwithsanditg
the general prevalence of wet weather, and the back-
wardness of the crops generally, Mr. Hallett began har-
vesting on Monday at Kemp-town Farm, and cut wheat,
barley. and oats.-Brighton Guardian. -
We have had all varieties of unfavourable weather
since our last, from the furious wind and beating rain or
Thursday night, to the close, damp atmosphere of Sun-
day and Yesterday. The corn in the heighbourhood is
very much beaten down, and much of it has an unhealthy
colour. After-grass, turnips, and potatoes, look well.
The hay harvest is now pretty nearly finished. It
has been the longest and worst that we have kud for
many years. The corn harvest will be very late in
Lancashire and throughout the north of England.--.
Linerpuol Times.
TuE HARVEST IN TILE SOUTII.—A friend of Oars,
who visited Hampshire and the Isle of Wight last week.
informs us that there was a good deal of grain cut in
that neighbourhood, and that the crops appeared to hint
to look well.-16id.

Warm and mild weather continued up to Wednesday,.
and the crops made considerable progress. On Thurs-
day, however, we had rain during the whole day— High
and drying winds followed on Friday, but rain fell again
on Saturday, especially towards Sunday morning, when
it came down in torrents. Several wheat and barley-
fields are beginning to colour, but a late harvest is now•
inevitable. Heavy showers fell again this morning, but,
notwithstanding. P_,unday and Monday may be rank&
under the category of favourable days.—Dunif • rirr
Courier.

EARLY BARLEY.—Mr, Harry Tyson, of Lorton F tige
Side, commenced cutting a field of barley on the
`24th
unit. upon his farm there, belonging to G. L. Bragg, Esq.
The seed was sown on the
.11th March. The c, :op is
light but perfectly tuatured, and of excellent qui qty,__
