The Commodore's health, we are happy to say, is daily
improving : he proceeds from Plymouth to Cork to join the
squadron.
The fashionables are daily selecting their summer resi-
dences. Several large houses have been taken during the
week.
The hay harvest would have commenced generally in the
island, but for the want of hands. Mowers cannot be ob-
tained for money. The crops are very heavy. The corn
looks well, but would be much benefited by a few hours' rain,
the heat being oppressive.
Pomoss.—There is quite a panic amongst the potato
growers of the Isle of Wight, in consequence of the appear-
ance of the potato blight. It was seen first in this island
last year; it now, as in 1845, has appeared on the stems, but
it has not spread, as it than did, to the leaves and tubers, but
it is expected that it will do so with the first rain. At pre-
sent the tubers are dug up quite perfect, however spotted
the stem.
