THE WEATHERNr, THE CROPS.
The actaesets are rather gloomy as regards the wheat
crop, which is described as likely to turn out del-le:-tit ;
but regereiag all other produce, they report very favour-
ably. We are indebted to Correspondents, upon whose
practical knowledge we can place full reliance, for the
subjoined accounts ache crops in the localities specified.
The fist communication, from Trim, states that wheat.
in that district will be deficient to the extent of five
barrels an acre. We trust that our Correspondent is
misteke n in that estimate, or that it applies only to a
very limited extent of country. Oats, potatoes, and all
ether crop ere described by the setae Correspondent as
promising abundance. Another Meath Correspondent,
writing from a clifihrent part of the county, states that
v heat has sustained partial injury ; but that oats
and -potatoes are most abunda-e. His hint about
the reaping of oats may be useful. A Donegal Cor-
respondent—a gentleman of great experience as a
farmer—gives a most cheering account of the prospects
in that part of 'Ulster. Altogether, we can see no
ground whatever fur apprehension. The yield of
wheat, we doubt not, will be greatly helow the immense
produce of last year ; but any deficiency in that respect
will be amply compensated by the general produce of
the harvest. We are happy to have such geotl accounts
of the potato crop in all parts of Ireland, and that we
have escaped the blight that appears to have visited that
crop in several counties of England and in
Dublin Evening Peat.
Patches of grain here and there have been cut dawn
in this neighbourhood and in other favoured spots
throaghout the country. A number of tarwers within
our ken were anticipating to be able likewise to coin-
mence their harvest by Thursday or Friday, but the
deluging rains which have prevailed must retard their
operations, and cause great anxiety for the fate of the
craps in the late lying district,. Friday night was wet
and stormy, Sunday morning of the same cast, and ..Mon-
day morning very wet and cold. These successive rains
have laid the wheat in several quarters to such a degree
that it is doubtful whether it may rise. Every visit to
the country more and more convinces us of the excel.
limey of the crops on the ground ; and, notwithstanding
the untowardness of the weather for the last few days,
we trust that days of heat and sunshine are yet in store
for us.—Ater Observer.
MANCHESTER.—The weather here has been exceed-
ingly variable since our last. We are happy to learn,
however, that tine weather appears to have set in in the
metropolis. So far as we can learn from the London
papers, there was no rain there from Wednesda) up to
yesterday, with the exception of a little that fell yester•
day morning. It thus appears, that Saturday and Mori-
day, which were exceedingly web here, were flee days in
the sowh of Englaud. We learn that in Paris also the
weather had been fine and npperently set-led, up to Sin
day.—Mancheetee Guardia-,, Aug. 27.
SOUTH LANCASHIAE.—Since our last we have had two
days of we weather and five of wet in this pert of the
country. Yesterday ti,e rain began to fall about nine
o'clock in the morneir„ and continued to pour dirvia
heavily during the whole of the day ; this d
weak, and on Saturday, the rain was equally heavy am
ire ssatit. From these long periods of bad w-ath
broken by such very short intervals of suns,iile, we
tit the crops natet be suffering greatly, and that h-
grain of the present year will be very deficient in qua-
lity, whatever it may-he in quemity. Indeed it calt.o•
be other wine. Tee question of qtiamity can otey h
decided when the crops come to hio. thrashed out ;
much grain in ti,e higher and colder districts of tilt
country nerr become fir for human food, and th,
coldness of the weather, during the wh;..le of :a„.
user, and up to i,ht3 present taino, is very much against
tie yield every whero.—Lireipool "Times, .Aug. 26.
NEN.tfilt.—We have cull let report unfavourably of
the state of the weather.. It is totally itnpt4ssible than.
the crops can ripen in such an ungenial season. Up
to Tuesday lu,T:t we had every assurance that little or no
damage would be sustained—but fearniv, to crest, tiny
feeling of alarm, we shah nte,,,iy stare what has !wen

and, though the sickle is now applied to others, ail.
they look quite green. All agree that the harvest wit;
