THE WEATHER AND CROPS

WIGAN.—The sun has at length begun to fulfil thi Most
hearty wishes of the husbandman. The present week has
been attended with continual sunshine, by which farmers
have been enabled to cut and house their hay in the finest
condition ; and we believe there is now scarcely any or no
meadow grass at all standing. We hope the present fine
weather will continue, as it will be of the most paramount
advantage to the agriculturist.— Wigan Gazette.
LANCASTER.—Nothing can be conceived more glorious
than the weather for the past week. The hay harvest is fast
approaching its conclusion, and the crops are heavy almost
beyond example. The grain is doing admirably. The feed-
ing process is going on as we should expect under an un-
clouded sun. and the wheat fields are beginning to change
colour, so that we may expect harvest earlier than we were
led to anticipate a week ago ; but yet by no means so early as
if the late unfavourable weather had not intervened. The
general luxuriance of the crops of all kinds surpasses any
thing we can remember.—Lancaster Gazette.
NEWCASTLE.—The most propitious weather continues to
prevail throughout the whole north of England, and it is ex-
pected that, even in this generally backward district, the
corn harvest will partially commence within a fortnight.
With further knowledge of the subject, it may now be safely
stated, with respect to the wheats in the county of Northum-
berland, that they stand strong and healthy upon the ground,
and though somewhat thin in some localities, yet the greatly
increased breadth of seed cast into the ground in spring, af-
fords every reasonable hope that the produce will be little, if
any, short of au average crop. It is admitted that under the
influence of the present bright and genial atmosphere the ears
are filling luxuriantly and rapidly. In the southern and mid-
land counties the corn harvest is in full operation, under most
favourable circumstances as to quantity and quality.—New-
castle Journal.

GLOUCESTEIL.—The beautiful weather which now prevails
has excited the most cheering hopes on the subject of the
harvest. Although even now an average crop cannot, per-
haps, be.expected, it is a source of the deepest thankfulness
that, after the depressing prospects with which we were but
a short time since presented, things are likely to turn out so
well as, in all probability, they are about to prove. The
provincial papers received this week are unanimous in re-
presenting the state of the crops as being very greatly im-
proved. From North Wilts the accounts are very favoura-
ble, and a full average crop is spoken of in many localities.
—Gloucestershire Chronicle.
BRISTOL.—For the past week we have been blessed with
a most favourable change of weather, and there is now every
prospect of its continuance. The harvest bids fair to be an
average one, and of good quality.—Bristol Standard. .
ISLE or MAN.—We have had a week of most delightful
weather ; the atmosphere being close and warm, with a due
portion of sunshine. • As a matter of course the hay harvest
has advanced most rapidly, and we may confidently state
that for years past more hay has not been placed under cover
in such fine condition as has been secured in this district
since this day week. The meadows, which have not yet been
generally cut; are every where ready for the scythe; and,
should the present weather continue another week, the hay
harvest in this island will be brought to a close. The grain
as well as the potatoe and turnip crops are all deriving the
greatest advantage from the delightful change that has taken
place in the state of the atmosphere, of which there is every
prospect ofacoutinuance.—Manz Liberal.

NORTH WALES.-Our neighbours in North Wales arc
forwarder than in South Cheshire. In Anglesey, barley and
oats were cut at the close of last week, and in fair condition.
On Wednesday we saw mown barley on the Denbighshire
coast, and sheared wheat between Rhyddlan and St. Asaph.
One week's genial sun has quite changed the face of the
country. The crops look healthy and full of profit '• we trust
the farmers will not be disappointed. In Cheshire, however,
matters are not so promising, though we believe that they
are likely to be better than expected a fortnight since.—
Chester Chronicle.

IRELAND.—A series of weather more favourable to the
growth—the filling and ripening of all manner of agricultural
produce—it is impossible for the imagination to conceive, or
the heart to desire. Ireland is at this moment one garden of
human aliment unrivalled in quality, and almost inexhaus-
tible in abundance. We want no element but time to harvest
one of the most plentiful crops that ever rewarded human
industry, or called for the grateful acknowledgments of a
people for the Divine goodness which provides so richly for
its creatures. Samples of fine corn have already been brought
to market ; a few days more of the weather we are now blessed
with, will—in the strong language of our countrymen—
" crown the world."--Dublin Evening Mail.
NOBLE SPECIMEN OF OATS.—We had brought to our
office on Thursday last, half-a-dozen stalks of oats plucked
from a field occupied by Mr. R. Fairclough, at Farington,
which when standing upright measured the extraordinary
length of six feet eleven inches. We understand that no very
nice selection had been made to procure the tallest,.for al-
though the crop is nearly a ten statute acre one, the whole
stands at a height, averaging at least six feet. The specimen
brought was a really magnificent one.—Preston Pilot.
EXTRAORDINARY SALE OF CROPS.—At the sale by auc-
tion, on Thursday last, of growing crops, the property of
Mr. Richd. Adams, at East Ham, Essex, the wheats fetched
from £l9. to £l5. 15s. per acre ; oats from £l6. ss. to £lB.
potatoes, from £26. 10s. to £33. 10s.; and onions from £22.
to £24. 10s. per acre, making an average upon the whole
produce, upon a considerable quantity of land, of upwards of
£23. per acre—a circumstance rarely or never before known
to take place in the neighbourhood, and from which it may
be reasonably inferred that a confidence is felt amongst agri-
culturists that the produce of the soil is likely to retain its
present high prices.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
