APPROACH OF HARVEST.—Wheat will be ready for
cutting at Sutton and at Fcrribv. both near to this town
(Hull) in about fourteen days.—Eastern Counties Herald.
The harvest, in niany parts round London, has com-
men.sed. In the nei&hbonrhood of Ilford, Edmonton,
Waltham, Broxbaurne, Hertford, Barnes, &c., many
fields of wheat and barley have been cut, and only require
a I,ttle fine weather to have the produce securely housed.
—Daily News.
DERBYSHIRE.—During the past week we have bad a
succession of fine growing showers, and the effects upon
the clops is most gratifying. Beans and barley, which
had been seriously injured by the long continuance of dry
weather, are much improved, and the wheat is in capital
condition. A plentiful and early crop is looked for.—
Derby Mercury.
Warm genial weather still continues. The wheat is
safe, and the potatoes are perhaps beyond the reach of re-
medy. Tht• harvest, generally speaking, is likely to be
early and abundant. But still a deluge of rain, or at least
a succession of warm pleasant showers, would be et great
comfort to the farmer, who grumbles habitually and by
instinct.— Cambridge Advertiser.

SOUTH DEVONSHIRE.-A deal of excellent hay has
been got together, bur a deal remains vet to be mown. In
some parts great difficulty is experienced in getting it
down, owing to the deficiency of labowers, who are just
now much wanted. Mowers command high prices. Oats

in many places are in full ear, and barley is just bursting
out; but both kinds of grain are suffering from want of
rain. Potatoes look well. Harvest promises to be early.-

LINCOLNSHIRE.—With regard to the present growing
crops of wheat, our report is very favourable; for al-
though in some of the lighter forest soils the late hot sull
has had a deteriorating effect, yet, generally, this grain is
looking extremely well. It is not thick on the ground
any where in this neighbourhood, but it is mostly well'
topped, and will without doubt yield well. This is parti-

—GRUBS IN THE BARLEY.—The barometer /108

been slowly and steadily rising for several-days; v;ilicli
circumstance, and the elemental appearances on Wednes-
day and Thursday, induce a belief that a return of very
sultry weather is at hand. Yesterday, indeed, was a fair
commencement of the Dog-days. The wheat and earl),
sown Lent crops are making rapid progress ; but we are
sorry to find that the late sown barley has been attacked
in a remarkable manner by a grub, which exists, we are
told, to some extent, in the neighbourhood of this oil
and Chel,enham, and probably in other parts of the
county. Several stalks of barley were brought to our
office yesterday, each of which, a little above the point
where the stem begins to thicken, contained a greenil
grub about half an inch long. The plant is thus prevente
trom throwing out any ear—rendered barren, in fact-'

THR WEATIIERAND THE CROPS —WEsfYonirstitat
—On a journey from the county of Middlesex to the cent,/
of the county of York, on Thursday last, we observe'
that the hay harvest was nearly over in the souther°,
counties ; while in the midland there is still a good de
of grass cut, but not secured, and in Yorkshire, except 10
the neighbourhood of large towns, where tillage is plenti-
ful, the grass is principally standing. as in the first proee6s
of haymaking. The produce of the first crop will. be,
generally abundant, and the late rains will yield plenty of
aftergra.s and good second crops of clover. Wheat, oats,
and barley are generally looking well on the whole line,
though a good deal beaten drown by the late heavy rains;
The pitatoes look well, with few blanks in the drills; and
the weather has been particularly favourable during 00
