TIIE WEATHER.

The genial showers of rain which have visited this
county during the last week have had the best effedta
on vegetation of every description, although the berh.y
and beans must, we fear, he a short crop. and in moat
place, the mange' w urzel, which is getting into ester:-
sive cultivation, has totally failed, owing to the hire
continued dry weather. The whears are good in snoe
situa inns, and had in others—almost every where short
in the straw, and the most experienced agriculturists
predict two thirds of a crop. We hope, however,
the result will be better than they generally expect.
The warm showers, we trust, will ensu:e an khundant
produce of potat es, which have become, frorn'ex-
tended cultism and improved q relay, a most important
crop to all classes. The apples and pears are vety
plentiful where a hit has occurred, but in some few
places a renal failure ha, been expari.raceal ; generally
speaking, however, iii immense quantity of cider and
'perry will be made. We hear a good report of the
breed of game of all kiuds; partridges and pheasants
are .abundant, and in several places the young of
both have been seen very strong on the wing —Here-
