SPECULATION IN THE CORN TRADE.—Speculation in
foreign wheat is again showing itself, in consequence of the
passed month having been wet Who ever heard of a drip-
ninff May detroyine a crop ? Why, rain in May, followed

by fine weather, ii an essential element of a great crop.
When wheat is in flower, or ripe, the plant is, indeed, ex-

tretnely delicate, and susceptible of injury from rain ; but un-
til then it is extremely hardy, and stands so much badgering
as to have been compared to the cat and its nine lives. The
breadth of wheat is unusually large—the seed was very supe-
rior—the growth at present-so thick and luxuriant, though a

THE WEATHER THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY : HURRI-
CANES, HAIL AND THUNDER STORMS, SCE.—From all

parts of the kingdom complaints of the ungenial weather
have been abundant duting the past week. The accounts
from Ireland state that the stock of grain and flour is excee-
dingly low, and already the corn and provision markets are
advancing. Even a partial failure of the crops would be a
great calamity under present circumstances. Very little in-
jury has yet been done; but a week or more of rain might
produce well-grounded alarm. In the district of Ulster the

riven from Limerick ; in the west of Ireland all agricultural
operations are at a stand. Cork was on Monday last visited
by a hurricane. In Scotland fears are beginning to be ex-
pressed of the effects of the present wet and inclement wea-
ther. From all parts of the north we hear of the prevalence
of easterly winds, and cold, wet weather. In the district
surrounding us rain has been almost incessant, with frequent
heavy gales of wind. The crops, however, with the exception
of potatoes, look well and promise abundance. The potatoe
sets have been greatly injured by the wet. On Monday last,
about three o'clock in the afternoon, Altrincham was visited
by a very severe hailstorm ; the hail stones were of an oval
shape, and nearly as large as marbles. The storm, which
only lasted about a quarter of an hour, has done much dam-
age to the early potato crop. A terrific thunderstorm, ac-
companied with hail and rain, passed over a portion of our
county on Thursday last. At Standish Lower Grounds, a
little more than two miles from Wigan, an oak tree was
struck by the electric fluid, and a portion of it rent away :
one of the top branches was struck off, and the lightning en-
. ltan _ tered the trunk, and tore away the bark, and a shred of tim-

of the trunk, and making a large hole in the earth, close to

0,5 yards from the tree, at the time it was struck, but they sus-
