THE v% EATHER AND THE CROPS

Irswicn. AUG. 4.—Nearly all our light land farmers
have finined wheat harvest, and the grain is housed in
tine'c4indirion.

• THE CROPS —Mo•t of the corn in this neighhorbood
has been c.irrird and in good order. The grass land bait
hren benefittrd by the late rains and all kinds of stuck if
cluing Sussex paper.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE —The harvest has now become 10'''
neral in thus cum', y, and the moi.t sanoilie expeciationt
are entertained th it it wnuld I.e safely boubtd in gu Ott
clndi ion. The crops are first-rite, especially sbeat.—'
Cambridge Ado, tiser.

-A de.l of wheat has been cut in the neighbourhood silted
our last, and the produce s. eats to surpass expectation.
Oats will not yield s well. not being altogether ripe and
fi for euttilig, though several fields are partially so, the
coequality of the roorning prPces. will make the samples
very unequal.—Lincoln Standaid.
DERBYHEI IRS. —The present harvest we believe, the
earliest on record since the year 1819- We understand it
commenced its the vicinity of ;Jeroy, on %Verity sday se'n-
night, in a richly clad corn-field at Darley, tiel, rigirtg td
Wm. Evan.. Esq., of Alles.ree Hall, which is likelV to
yield an ahutitiant crop. In the parish of Normatitodr
also. wheat in excellent condition Las been cut due/tr.--

SlAGo.—sbe complaints of the potato clop are not so
disheartening as they were a foitnight ago. A tolerable
produce Is figlud at the root of the diseased stock: and
those that are foe. from the blight promie an abundaht
supply.

I3ALLINASLOE.—The crrps in this neighbourhood pre-
sent a cheeroig aspect; but the early potato crop is much
affected wth tie disrase of la-t sear. In every instance it
is confined .o that part which is attached to the stalk.--
Westmeath Independent.

A T LoNE (Tors, with the exception of potatoest;
exhibit a tine heal- by appearance. and in many paits of
the country th, sickle has commenced ittbont. Many
of the putrto fl Ids. which api.rared so ' and he,l by.
late been fund.to be altogether di-eased:—Westmeath'
Independent.

LOUTH.— fhe weather of late has been highly propitious
for the mituiitig of the wisest crop. which in many I.l.ceg
is ready for the sickle : reaping hat: al ready co. me-heed,
and in the course of a few days will hec'me quite gen. rat.
A few Inch lab urns have made their appearance, and
have readily met with employment.
Reaping has 13,-come ge,eral ia the neighbourhood of
Sh, ffielti, the crops having been %owlet-hi Iv Townie," by
the cite genial but oppresiive weather. The groin is in-
excellent conditinn, and we hope to be able to congratulate
i.ur fellow-voun rynsen on the gathering in of one of the
hest harw st. that has h, en known tor some years .
Sbeffie'd Mercury.

The hay harvest is pretty nearly completed in this
neighb-iurhood. and the attention of farm. rs is now di-
ri Wed to the ht using of grain. 11l South Lancahire the
wheat harvest is tit-cut-fling pretty genet al, and in Rufford,
Tarlet.on, Longton, and the heigithohrhood, as well as in
the Fylde. many fields are being cut. In one or two in-
stances, also, the sickle his been auplied to oats. With
ravour,ible weather the grain har%est will become geheral
in a week thioughout Nor h Lancashire. 'I hough, the
crops are nor iitarly so heai y as last year, on the whole
we atitiitiptte there will be an average. oats ;wear tO•
he doing well, and are ripening to-t. Beans will p,obablY
rove a failure, ii ough ut siitne fields the% are pretty good.
Barley is not very proinisieg. The potato muriain hae
again manifested itsel-, but not yet to any totiontude.
Rutf,td and that, nil...fhb .uthood, potatoes are lo,kit g
very well ton Chronicle.

Ihe most ausiocinus vieathrr for ripening the eropo.
not woh-tattdine thdt vi tit nt storms have taken place in
the south. continues to prevail in this district, and in all
directions the wheat is neatly ready for cutting, whilst in
tne more fryoured :oc.loies a }.rest de4l his boen reaped
to the berg possible condition. There is every pros; ect of
the corn hat vest in the north being tu,l a month earlier
than usual. In the tour eof Into her week c trine will
he aPiterai in the c unties of Nor, huntberland and Dur-
ham, as well as along tie Border of Scotland. and it iS
adutttt d by competent fudges that the crop of win at is
not (tidy abuncant but of excellent finality. With such
oroNpe c!, and under the of erAtion t f free-trade, the mar-
kets oolitic tie to rule very h w Depressi•tn seems to be
the or er of the day, and there is now no doubt. seeing
hat I h.- cl.atactet oft. he ha. vest is de terneitied in the corn-
gr.twing oi-tricts, both a! home and abroad, th -t the price
of wheat will he at a ruinous figure before the ciose cf the
year.—Newcastle
