GALWAY.—The weather still continues showery, but
all ouether the country presents the most cheering and de-
lightful appearance.—Galway Vindicator.
The most beautiful summer weather smiles this week
upon the fast maturing crops. The refreshing rains are
aeain succeeded by sunshine and genial warmth.—Lime-
rick Chronicle. •

All descriptions of crops bear evidences of the genial
influence of the refreshing sho%ers, to an extent almost
incredible in so short a space. In fact, judging Irvin pre-
sent appearances, we would sae that the harvest will be
much earlier than last year.—Western Star.
Loont.—The wheat crops upon good lard in this
neighbourhood are looking remarkably well ; the straw is
rank, supporting long well-set ears, and promise, at least,
an average yield. It is rapidly changing colour, and
should we have fine weather, the sickle will be required in
many places be the end of the month.
BALLINASLOE.—The few days moisture we have been
blessed maith has been eminently calculated in its r ffectsto
gladden the heart of the faimer. In fact. judging from,
present appearances, we would say that the lira-vest a
this year will be earlier, by a fortnight or three weeks,
than that of 1813. Western Star.
TuAM.—Our accounts from various quarters, o.f the
state of the crops, are cheering. The wheat crop in the
neighbourhood of Headford is particularly fine this sea-
son, and the potatoe crop in that locality is also very pro-
mising. The crops of every description surrounding this
district are looking remarkably well. No decided case of
failure in the potatoes has as yet been communicated to
us.—Tuam Herald.

M AYo.—The past week has been one of nearly constant
wet, with the exception of last Saturday, which aas dry
and sunny throughout. The hay crop is in general good;
and since the rain the oat crop has made great progress ia
its growth. There are some failures in the potatoe fields;
but, taken on the whole, the potatoe crop of the year in
this clunty. though of diminished breadth as compared
with the crop of last year, is a flourishing one.—Mayo
ConBtilulion.
An immense quantity of rain has fallen during the past
week. and, judging from atmospheric appearances, it la
likely that we may have occasional showers for some time
longer. A few weeks of sunshine would have a powerful
effect in bringing to maturity wheat, barley, oats, and po-
tatoes, all of which promise to be abundant. Potatoes of
a good quality are now offered fur :ale at, considering the
eery period of the season, pretty moderate prices.-""
Derry Sen;inel.
The late rains have produced almost a magic effect 00

there is every prospect of an early and abundant harvest.
