THE CROPS.

Weirear the hest accounts of the crops in general in this dis-
trit t. A great deal of hay has been cut and housed, which is
good both in bulk and condition, but the heavy showers there
have been this week have seriously interrupted the hay harvest.
The grain crops, upon the whole, are extremely promising, and
in a forward state. The smut is found to prevail in some
places, particularly among barley, but we trust it is only partial.
furnips are in a very luxuriant state generally speaking, to
Which the late rains have •greatly contributed. Potatoes are
now doing well: there is a failing here and there to some ex-
tent ; but, on an average, the crop promises fairly.
In the western parts of Cumberland the hay harvest is pro-
ceeding with great rapidity. A large portion of the crop is
in excellent condition, and will generally he superior both in
quantity nod quality. The aspect of the country is generally
encouraging. Potatoes and turnips are very good, and the
wheats in particular are almost of unexampled luxuriance.
In Westmoreland, generally speaking, hay-harvest is in full
operation this week, and a good deal has been secured in prime
condition. The crops are considered good. Wheat promises
well, and should the season of harvest prove faveinable, a crop
tar above an average may be expected. Oats and barley look
well upon tl.e whole, but certain places have suffered a little
fiom drought. The fly has made sad havoc amongst the tur-
nips on some farms, and few crops have escaped uninjured from
this destructive insect. The potutoe crop in several places has
partially failed ; but in some instances the farmers ha'. e planted
the ground a second time, and with every prospect of success.
The corn of all kinds has seldom in any year looked better
in the north part of the North-Hiding of -Vol kshire.—Cur lisle
