THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.

No rain since the afternoon of Wednesday, hen
the weather showed decided symptoms of improve-
ment. It remained fine all last night, with a cold
and even frosty air, and this morning has set in dry
and bright. The following is extracted from a
hopeful article on the harvest prospect which ap-
pears in the Freeman's trournal ;
" Since the 15th day of July—S within's day-
-36 days have been ra-ny, and three downright de-
luges. Notwithstanding this cataclysm it is sur-
prising how little real damage has been done except
along the banks of rivers and in low lying lands,
where the rain has doae considerable injury. From
all we can learn much injury has not yet been done.
Flat, of course, the wheat crop lies, but in that
position it will ripen well, though more slowly
than if it stood erect. One fo--tnight of real sum-
mer weather would set all right, and surely we
cannot be far from that enjoyment! In some parts
of Ireland they had commenced to cut winter oats.
In Kilkenny market new, reported prime, have
been selling at 13s. a barrel. A portion of the hay
crop is in a precarious state. A few fine days and
it would be safe, while another week of such wea-
ther as Tuesday would fill the small farmer with
despondency for his winter fodder. About one-
half of the whole crop has been saved in pi ime con-
dition. Otiser calculations state that a third has
been well saved, a third middling, and a third un-
fit for use. No matter what course events may
take, the price of fodder cannot rule so high next
year as this. Green crops never looked so flourish-
ing, and the produce will be nearly double last
year's. The potato bears up admirably, and ex-
hibits little taint. This time last year the disease
manifested itself fully, though the tubers were but
slightly affected. We hear, of course, the equal
complaints, but we set no value on the hypocritical
moans of corn speculators. We believe the crop
will be one of the most abundant we ever had, and,
with a fortnight's warmth before digging cam.-
amnces, as mealy as the most epicurish could de-
sire. The oat crop is hardy, and suffers less than
wheat and barley. In the upland districts the rain
has rather improved oats ; at any rate, in moun-
tain farms they do not complain of any injury.
Not a rick of turf has been saved in all Ireland,
but there is time for that as well as other more
urgent blessings, of which we do not despair."
The last accounts from Ulster are, upon the whole,
not as bad as might be expected ; at least, in com-
parison with some of the repo:•ts from the southern
and midland districts. The hay crop has suffered
dreadful damage, but, according to the Nor Zhern
Whig of yesterday :
" Wheat lands look wonderfully well, consider-
ing the terrib!e test to which they have been sub-
jected. In some cases mildew hes set in, and what
is called the • red I ust' may be seen ; but, on the
whole, there have not been any very serious com-
plaints heard as to the general injury. Our pri-
vate letters from several of the counties in this pro-
vince are not so favourable as to the condition of
the oat crop. In a great many fields the grain has
been beaten down ; sometimes, as we learn, this
injury has taken place to the extent of one-third of
the whole crop. This is the more to be regretted,
as the greatest possible improvement had
taken place iu the growth of the oats ;
and the straw, which it was feared would turn
out short and inferior, promises to be very abun-
dant in bulk and superior in quality. Potato
lands have stood the deluge much better than
could have been anticipated. We hear very little
of any increase of the disease; and, except in low
lying soils, where neglect of drainage stands in the
way of the clearing off of upper water, it can hardly
be said that serious injury has taken place to the
growing crop. A very favourable change in the
weather has been experienced since Monday even-
ing. Yesterday was not only dry, but the sun came
out in some strength, as if anxious to show that he
had rot altogether forgotten his official duties.
Already a marked improvement has taken place in
the appearance of the country. Half-flooded fields
are fast drying up, and the lying grain has been
pretty well raised by the short season of good
veather."
