THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The beautiful
weather of the last few days has had a wonderful effect
on the craps. The harvest in the county of Essex has
already commenced, and in the neighbourhood of Rom-
ford ha become very general. Several fields of wheat,
barley, and oats have been cut, and throughout the coun-
ties of Kent, Sussex, Essex, and Surrey, grain of every
description presents a most luxuriant appearance. Not..
withstanding the long drought which has prevailed for
such a lengthened period throughout the whole
of the 'agricultural districts, which had at
serious effect' on the early crops of grass,
and which it was calculated would have caused.
hity to be-exceedingly dear, the late refreshing showers.
have caused the crop of aftergrass to be most abundant,,
and the mowers are now-everywhere engaged in cutting
the second hay harvest. Some wheat and oats have al-
ieady been housed in the most excellent condition. The
hod grounds of the county of Kent are looking extremely
rEfeautitul, 'the plant is remarkably healthy, and freer
.from the grub than has been known for a number of
years. The prospect of an abundant and early harvest;
is cheering in the extreme, and should the present 0.14 P
weather icontinue, the harvest will become ge-_,Brai
throughout the country ,in the course of a week or
ten, clays.,

moral, religious, and useful education. Several letters were

dren a the discipline of the asylum. Since the formation of

Chertsey, bequeathed the Society 2001. The receipts
amounted to 2,0111.25. 5d., and the expenditure. figured at

brothels, and prosecuting traffickers iu vice. The report
