The weather is still unpropitious, and reaping has
been considerably retarded, even where it had already
begun. Wheat and oats seem late. The former is evi-
dently far from productive in grain; though sua.dently
bulky m straw.—Edinburgh chronicle.
The fine weather towards the conclusion 'of last week
considerably advanced the ripening of the crops in this
district. The week commenced propitiously on Monday,
but it rained during the whole of Tuesday. This state
of the weather did not prevail far to the south; but in the
west there must have been heavy rains, as the river has
since come down much swollen. On Wednesday the
cutting was recommenced, and there is now a consi-
derable portion of the fields in the neighbourhood cut
down. The report of the crops is much more favour-
able than was anticipated a few weeks ago. The winter
wheats are spoken of as likely to turn oat remarkably
well ; barley also is a fair crop, but oats arc likely to be
deficient.—Berwick Advertiser.
We have had, generally speaking, fine, though rathar
threatening weather for the last week. For the last ten
days the glass is at changeable, though the rain has not
descended. This is a glorious harvest day. Bat, not-
withstanding these favourable prospects, we shall be
obliged in Dublin, and throughout Ireland generally, to
eat foreign wheat principally for the next twelve months,
as we have for the last.—Dublin Post.

The weather since our last has still shown a prepon-
derance of moisture, but favourable intervals have oc-
curred, and a pretty good breadth of wheat and oats has
been cut down. We are glad to learn that the fields ge-
nerally in this district arc stooking well.—Paisley Ad-
vertiser. _ _ _

Since our last, the weather has remained unbroken,
and the harvest has male rapid progress.-Edinburgh
Courant. _ _

.....
Great progress has been made in the saving of the
harvest, the accounts of the state of which in these dis-
tricts are much more favourable than had been looked for
some three or four weeks since.—Cork Reporter,.
HANTS AND SOUTIIERN COUUTIES.—Since our last
report the weather has been exceedingly fine, and the
harvest has proceeded without interruption. Nearly
the whole of the wheat, and a considerable portion of
barley and oats, have been saved, and with the continu-
ance of a few days fine weather the great balk of the
crop will -he secured without any material injury. In
the neighbouring counties the crops are spoken most fa-
vourably of, and although in Wilts, Dorset, Gloucester,
&c., they are not in the state of forwardness that we are,
the harvest is progressing satisfactorily, and promises a
fair average, both in quantity and quality.—Hampshire
Advertiser.

MRS. NORTON AND THE STAGE.—It is
only echoing report to allude to the whispers that are
afloat respecting the intention of the Hon. Mrs. Norton
to adopt the stage as a profession, and make her debut
at Covent Garden. The talent of her family, dramatic
by descent, is favourable to the supposition, coupled with
other and more powerful causes ; and we have heard
that the lady has qualifications for success of a higher
kind than personal beauty.—Spectutor.
