STATE OF THE CROPS.

Never has our habitable globe in this part of the world ex-
perienced more beneficial rain than at pi esent. Hay continues
to be taken to Merthyr from the upper counties weekly. It is
cheaper than it has been for many years.— Ifrelshmas
Hay-making has already commenced in the meadows in this
neighbourhood, and the crop promises to be one of extraordi-
nary luxuriance.—Salisbury Journal.
The weather since our last has been most favourable for vege-
tation, and the crops everywhere exhibit an improved aspect.
—Ross-shire Advertiser.

THE Caors.—A practical farmer has favoured us with the
following report :—Never in my remembrance have I seen the
face of' the country in so flourishing a state, from so compara-
tively small quantity of rain which we have been blessed with,
after the long drought ; the wheats on the good soils never
looked better at this time of year, although so much cannot be
said of the poor soils; yet on the whole they have rapidly
improved. Beans and peas during the last week have much
improved, but they will want more moisture to make them
come up to an average crop. Generally speaking, the early
and the late sown barleys are looking remarkably well ;
of potatoes there can be but one opinion, that there will
be an average crop; the grass crops in general will un-
fortunately be late and light, come what weather it may.
The fruit, both apples and pears, will be in abundance ; they
have never knitted finer or thicker, or grown faster, and are
now considered beyond casualty. 'With regard to the hops,
they have made most rapid progress during the last week, but
I regret to say that their fatal enemy, the fly, has attacked
them in right good earnest ; as many as from five to thirty are
to be seen upon a leaf in every hop plantation throughout the
country ; it is early yet to form an opinion, but should the
eather continue a few weeks the same as it is at present,
many of the weaker plantations will be seen bowing to the
baneful effects of these destructive insects.—Hereford Times.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.

It rarely happens that a good settling follows a Derby, won
by a great public favourite ; we could mention a dozen instances
in which the reverre has been the case; but it will be sufficient
to instance the CadLnd, Bay Middleton, and Coronation years;
it is with regret we add that the Attila year is likely to rival
the worst of them. Up to Saturday morning nothing had
transpired to induce a suspicion that there would be any serious
defalcations ; the names of twister three parties, it is true, were
made rather free with, but we heard nothing that surprised us.
On Sunday, however, it was announced that Mr. Beales had
been hit for 18,0001., and could not pay ! The news came like
it thunderbolt—for independent of the amount of the deficit,
it must necessarily place many other parties who lost on the
race in a very embarrassing position. It has also affected
several who fondly imagined they were winners. Of this class,
one i 3 hit for 3,0001. (the same gentleman lost between three
and four thousand pounds by an absentee in Bloomsbury's
year); another for 1,970/. ; a third for 2,0001. ; three or four
for 1,000/. each, and so on ; all his personal friends suffer, and
from what came out yesterday, we are compelled to look upon
it as one of the most hopeless cases that ever came under our
notice. The individual in default was of long standing on the
turf, and, up to the paralyzing declaration on Sunday, was
considered one of the safest men in the ring. Of course, this
subject, and its probable influence in other quarters, en-
grossed the attention of all present. We shall be enabled to
speak more fully in our notice of the settling, which commences
this day.

IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE-
RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—SCIIWeppe'S
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised
world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super-
fluous'; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or
less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty
of reminding their friends and the pablic that the above Cele-
brated Water •continues to be manufactured on the largest
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es-
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London ; and also at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby;
and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at
most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province of the United Kingdom. • The
just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de-
mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them
of apparent respectability) to practice a deception. against
which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public.
The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious
article for ", Schweppe's," by selling it in Schweppe's marked
bottles. Theteniptatton to this is, the cheapness of the infe-
rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the
same. . By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputation of the
latter is prejudiced by the substitution.of a bad article—and a
certain. prOportion of the ,public patronage diverted from its
legal. Rate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe
anti Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over
the cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment
in the centre, and the naive of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the world.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East.
and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually
transmitting orders received from their respective agents and
correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimony
Schweppe and Co. arc in the habit of receiving from gentle-
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their
Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the
high condition in which it is generally found. The Water
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express
reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other
can equally well endure the variations of climate. Schweppe's
Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro-
duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is
rapidiy getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing
draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate-
rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men
constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de-
sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine battle will
have a yellow fable on its side, with the name and address of
the firm. Schwenre and Co. are the largest importers of the
German Scheer ater, which they receive direct from the
springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public
in the original packages. N.B.—Export orders for all climates

[AnvEwrisEmErr,3—Our readers' attention is di-
rected to the following communication (translated Elvin
the German), addressed to Messrs. Rowlands' Agent at
Cologne :—" 13, Streitz-euggasse, Cologne, May 23,
19.41 .—To Th. S. Ditges.—Sir,—l have much pleasure
in informing you of the extraordinary effects of " Row-
land's Macassar Oil :" for above nine years 1 had nut a
particle of hair on my head, when I was casually recom-
mended to give this celebrated Oil a trial, I accordingly
.purchased t•vo bottles at your K4tahlishment, and strictly
followed the printed, directions : in the coarse of two
months ray head was covered with fine short hair, which
1 Lad out off, and continued to persevere in the use of
the Oil. The result is, that after five mouthy' perse-
verance, I can now boast of as good a head of hair as
any man in this city. Injustice to the inventors I make
this acknowlodgment, and shall feel great pleasure in
satisfying any Inquiry.—l salute you with respect,
