STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURES, &c. &c.

CORN-EXCHANGB, AUG. 27.—We had some
considerable Arrivals of Foreign IVheat since
Monday, for which there was a good demand at
our last prices ; Barley and Malt are steady ; Fine
Oats support their price ; in Pease and Beans
there are no alteration.

We have understood that the Russian Govern-
ment has recently given orders for British manu-
factures to-an amount little short of two millions
sterling. We believe that Colonial produce to a
far greater amount has been exported to other
parts of the Continent.
SUGAR.—Yesterday the demand considerably re-
vived. The prices were fully Is. higher than last
week,• with the prospect of an improving market.
The orders for the winter supply of the Continent
are coming to baud freely, and since the arrival of
the Foreign Mails of Monday, very extensive sales
have been effected. The demand for Nluscovades
has greatly revived ; the prices may again be
quoted at Is. advance : much interest has been ex-
cited as to the probable supply to be expe.cted
this season.

BATIL—Tbe accounts from all parts of the
country agree in stating that the crops arc most
abundant ; and we have heard that, in some places,
Where last year the land yielded twenty bushels an
acre, it will this year produce fatty.
Ext--rEn.—The harvest is now every where
rapidly proceeding around this neighbourhood,
though it experienced some interruption from the
indifferent state of the weather in the commence-
ment of the week. Every description of grain,
and the wheat in particular, amply supports the
favourable anticipation entertained of the bounti-
fulness of its crop.

BRIGHTQN.—The wheat harvest is now become
quite general in this county, and of the superio-
rity of the crops, both in quantity and quality, the
sheaves bear ample testimony, and than which no
better evidences of the fact can be required.
POUTSMOUTIL—The wheat harvest has com-
menced almost universally throughout the county,
and considerable' progress been made during the
few past days. The weather is now not only free
from showers, but the most genial crops that
could be wished.

NOTTINGHAM.—SeveraI fields of corn (oats
and wheat) have been cut down in this neigh—
bourhood within the last few days ; the crops
are unusually abundant, and, notwithstanding the
late beavy rains, but very little injury has been
sustained. The weather is at present promising,
and we have every reason to hope, under the fa-
vour of Providence, that most of the early crops
will be harvested in the best condition.
GLOUCESTERSKIHK.—The Wheat Harvest has
partially commenced in this county; the crops
are abundant, the ears well filled, and much riper
than could be expected from the long, continuance
of rain we have experienced, but which we un-
derstaml has Litherto produced little injury.
Should the weather prove favourable for housing
the grain, consequent plenty will follow ;' and we
trust that the public will, by a corresponding de-
cline in the prices, he made amends for the priva-
tions they have so long and so patiently submit-
ted to.

SCOTLAND.—Acemmts from all parts in Scot.
land are most cheering respecting an abunda❑
Harvest.

tion, that the Ma:quis of HERTFORD remained as
