THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—For forty long days,
ending yesterday week, we never had two consecutive
days of dry weather ; and although the rains generally
were light, and of short duration, they had the effect of
laying down a considerable breadth of wheat and barley.
Fortunately there were light winds, and occasional
glimpses of sunshine in the intervals, which prevented
any serious injury being done to the crops. A good
deal of the grain, however, must be slightly discoloured;
but there is every reason to believe that that is the full
extent of the injury which has been sustained. lip till
Friday week, notwithstanding that a large breadth
was ready for the sickle, but little progress was made
in the work of reaping. Since then, however, every
hand has been busily employed, and the blythe
labours of the harvest are pushed forward with
unusual vivacity and vigour. The weather is clear and
bright, and in the highest degree favourable f

the last few days, and tAhegrperuoduce of not a few fields
safely transferred to the stack-yard, and in the course of
another week, if the present weather hold, the great bulk
of the crop in this neighbourhood will be cut down.
The prospect of a season of abundant and cheap food,
along with the demand for our-door labourers, is grati-
fying in the highest degree ; and we hope the hardships
this large and important class of the population have en-
dured for several winters past will not soon recur.—

SOUTH WALES AND SOUTH OF IRELAND RAILWAY.
—Meetings have been held at Gloucester, Hereford, and
Ross, for the purpose of securing to these localities the
advantages ecpeeted to result from the formation of the
proposed line of railway into and through South Wales,
in conjunction with the South of Ireland Railway. The
intended line is to pass through the Forest of Dean to
Chepstow, and from thence along the banks of the Se-
vern and of the Bristol Channel to Newport (Monmouth-
shire), connecting also on the line Usk, Boss, Aberga-
venny, &e.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
