On Sunday and ?dantlay the weather was delft
until about nine o clock on Monday evening, vi•eo
commenced raining, and it continues to pour
intermission until five o'clock yesterday afternoon.. f.
NN'e have just se,n a gentleman who arrived
France yesterday. lie inf irms us, that the v:fied
on the French coast was delightful on Sutidg
Monday, but that on Monday evening the raj°
maimed there earlier than it did here ; and &rift

PROSPECTS CT THE HARVEST IN SUFFOLIC.----r a
very unpropitious weather for harvest operations+ rti
anxiety is naturally awakened ; various reports ;0
circulation of the immense damage already done
wet, such as the grain beiiig sprouted fore laf
and of the appearance of mildew, &c. The furor;a4'
port, we have reason to believe, is partly e°oo
for in a • very few instances, damaged kernels: W'ear of Talavera wheat, close to the grouou',o,

during the past week, but the very abort Otero
suitable weather prevented much proiaress Bbeal
the dry soils in this immediate neighbour:hood, tri
every prospect of a good average 3 ield—qu'jte et bi
crop, if not bette?, than last year ; but upon
land, where harvest was not yet commenced, our
sions are very different : we are acquainted wit hr;
districts where there must be less than last Yos'''
several coombs per acre, and, in some instances, fed•
confident, there will be a deficiency of fronl6%oo/
ten coombs per acre ; but, with an unquest'oce
deficiency in the ear, and .not a great abund3obthi
straw, it is- impossible to estimate the PraieVl
deficiency from last year, when there was Pr° ito'o!
crop on heavy land. Upon the whole, ourithPresostlY,
from a close inspection of the crop of wheat, 0.15',01',
and the'adjoining counties, on both wet and dry soi,
must be something under an average crop, wi

tolerable qualitya2The barley, on all descriptions
promises an abundant yield : on dry land the tibot,!
appears good, and much is now fitfor the seYtbe'd.,
