The first heat was won by Lord Wellington, but in cvq,
sequence of a misunderstanding as to another niat;it hay-
ing been made, he was not at the post whel, the other
two were ready for the second heat, -4pon which the
Stewards, having waited the titnu appointed, directed the
race to be resumed, which was done, and the heat won
by Peg. It Wai then agreed that Mr. Proctor, after Pal-
lopping three times round the course, should start, for the
third heat, which he won. The case is rcleired to the
Jockey Club far decision.

Harvest operations have been going on briskly
with every fair hour this week, but Late been daily inter-
rupted by heavy showers drain, it would yet be prema-
ture to estimate the gennal produce of the crops, but we
are happy to fled that the damage by the rains will not be
so great as was apprehended, though there will be r,r,-.cit

TILE WEATILER.—DLITing 11,4...' lag eight or-
ten days, although a good deal, cf zain has fallen, yet there
has almost daily been some warm sunshine, so that as tile
whole, in the opinion of some intelligent fariners, the
weather has not been altogether so unfiwo-arable for the
crop as might have been apprehend:4. The late storm
from the northward had, .in searal places, injured the
standing corn, v.ipictatily in exposed situations, by loosen,
ing it so as to. incur the risk, by being deprived gf '.ta nu-
triment, of its whitening prematurely withnnt filling. By
the frequent showers for this last :ortiiight, succeeded ge-
nerally by warmth and swiziaine, the corn so shaken has
been fixed at thereat, so as yet to fill and come to matu-
rity. A short time of dry favourable weather wc,•4d, there-
fore, dissipate all apprehension as to the has vest, which, as
regards the barley, is general pyer the country. Some
fields of oats have al:4, been, cut in this neighbourhood,
and at several other places, in tolerably good 0:13e, ; ".d
tke gems.-al opinion seems to be, that, with favourable
weather, a full average crop will la secured in this district

of the country, although in Immo parts of. it a deficiency is
