In an article on "The field and thttiom4ead.Sa.
the Daily Telegraph, reports of the prospects of the
h -est in various localities are grouped together. In the
West it is stated corn crops of every sort are doing well,
green crops growing beautifully, hay bulky and well got,
and pastures magnificent. Latterly, in some parts,
the drought has done some mischief. A letter just
received from Herefordshire says : " The country
is sadly parched ; but we had a glorious fall of
rain on Sunday. Our wheats are first - class,
clovers and hay very good, mangold going on
well ; swedes not up, but soon will be." The
Gloucester report speaks of the wheat crop as uninjured
by the-drought, but other crops suffering, and the hay on
the uplands very scanty. A Worcestershire account says
that the wheat has gone off, and will yield less by three
or four bags per acre than was expected three weeks age.
The mischief of the drought has been extensive in the
south. In Hampshire the wheats are good on the stony
lands, but thin and light on the chalk. Spring corn is
everywhere slightly damaged ; oats extremely deficient;
pulse crops short in straw and badly podded. In Sussex
the wheats look well on the good soils, and may produce
an average yield. On the stiff land of the Weald the pro.
misc of the wheats is not quite so favourable. Barley
and oats, except on the very best soils and where got in
very -early, are short in straw, and must be deficient in

yield. The oats on the Weald clay will be, to a great
extent, a failure. Mangolds look badly, and swede.:
have nut grown at all for want of rain. In the North
there is the same lament for the absence of showers. In
the North Riding of Yorkshire, the wheats, while fair on
the good soils, promise below an average on dry and poor
land. Oats, barley, and beans arc short in straw, and can.
not yield well. The same state of things obtains in Durham,
parts of Northumbei land,Westmoreland, and Cumberland.
A report from Cheshire praises the appearance of the
wheat:3. Potatoes, of which a greater than usual breadth is
planted, will probably be small, and the yield below an
average. All through the Midland counties the dry,
weather has had the effect of injuriously forwarding the
wheat crops. " Wheat," says a Warwickshire farmer,
" was looking remarkrillriMl, -and more forward than
I ever remember it ; but lately it has so gone off
that it cannot yield an average produce. Pulse crops
extremely short in straw ; barley and oats several bags
per acre short of an average, excepting, perhaps, on very
highly-farmed and good lands. A Nottinghamshire report
speaks of wheat looking well on the clays, but being only.
half a crop upon light soils. The early-sown barley is fair,
but the late-sown wretchedly bad. The most doleful
accounts come from the eastern counties. In Essex the
wheat on all the light lands and on some of the clays
has a short straw with a small ear, and promises
several bushels per acre less than it did a mouth
ago. Loth oats and barley must be very light anci,
'defective crops, the barley coming prematurely into ear.
Peas and beans, too, will yield below an average. The
hay is slighter than for some years past. But in Suffolk
and Norfolk the aspect of affairs is still more serious. On
some of the light lands the farmers, despairing of the
short barleys ever coming into ear, have turned their-
sheep into the fields ; and a late advice from Suffolk
estimates the promise of the wheat crop at twelve
bushels per acre less than it was a fortnight before.
A Lincolnshire report says: " We have been without
rah 4 with trilling exceptions, for about eight weeks. The
corn crops have gone off surprisingly, more especially
during the last fortnight. What were full crops a mouth
ago now show the drill-rows from end to end. Excepting
on the very highly-manured potato laud, the produce must
be def.•cient-, and we now estimate a loss of eight bushels
per acre below the promise of a mouth back. The spring
cropping is in a worse state."

An inquest has been held at St. George's Hospital,
respecting the death of Samuel Barchild, who is described
as having been an independent gentleman. He was 61 years
old. He lodged in Frith-street, Princes-street, Soho, and
had lodged in the same house for about tenyears. His land-
lady described him as a man of very eccentric habits, and
as complaining occasionally of a pain in the throat. He
had a nephew and a step-brother living, and had told his
landlady that if anything happened to him she was not
to communicate with them. In answer to the coroner,
the landlady said that the deceased had a very valuable
gold watch, which he invariably wore when he went out.
He left home about nine o'clock on Wednesday night.
A little more than an hour after that a coachmaker, who
resides in Kensington, saw the deceased leaning over the
railings opposite Rutland-gate in Rotten-row. A woman
stood near him, who said that deceased was very ill, and
asked the cow:hunker to go for a policeman. When the
policeman was obtained, the deceased was found lying
on the grass, foaming at the mouth, and looking very
ill indeed. He was put into a cab and sent to the hospi.-
‘tfd, but died before the cab reached there. In his pockets
were found a note-book and a pocket-book, in the
latter of whizh were three R 5 Bank of England
notes, one bank bill for £4OO, and another for £lOO. No
watch was found. The woman who had been standing
with him, and a soldier who was also near, ran away as
the policeman approached the place where the man lay
on the grass. It was noticed that the dress of deceased
was in a very disordered state. A post-mortem examina-
tion of the body had been made, and it was found that
death had resulted from disease of the heart. The surgeon
was certain that deceased had been subject to great ex-
citement whilst in the park, and that the excitement had
accelerated death. The verdict returned was to the effect
that he had died of disease of the heart.
