We have great pleasnre in stating, that nearly the what,
of the corn in the Vale of Glamorgan has been 'llona 1$

LOUTH, LINCOLNSHIRE, SEPT. 26.-Tlie harvest is the
il'olds is not more than* half carried. and, from the me-
settled state of the weather, and the season being fie
advaneed, it is very probable that wheat corn remains in
thefields will not liezot in in fine condition. Beans are yet
tinciit. and a great breadth of barley is still standing.
liscoaw Seer. 27.-To the North of this city several
fields of barley are yet unearried. The wheat has all bees
finely housed on the Cliff. Half the beans are still is the
field.
The equinectial gales have this' year blown with morel
than their *final. degree if severity. Ott Senility, Mon
day, and Tuesday. a considerable qnantity of rain fell,
aceorneanied with strong gales of wind, particularly on,
Monday, when the .torn of rain .and wind was very
violent. On IV•dnesday the weather moderated, and the
firenerable change continued through Thursday. Hurltit
the continuance of the had weather. the labours of the
field were necessarily suspended; but they have since
been resented wi!li fall activity.-(Neweaslle Citron.)
Daring the first four days of the present week, the sky
was almost uniformly dark and lowering. with a SUM..
flow of showers ; indeed, so notch rain fell in this city
and its immediate neighbourhood, that it was feared the
harvest miL lit he considerably obstructed in the adjoining
di.tvicis. We, however, male the necessary inquiry. end
have the satisfaction to state, that at the distance of a
very few miles from Carlisle, the reapers continued their
I;;botir 'with very little interruption. Since Thursday
rimming the weather has been. highly favourable to the
cutting down and gathering In of the crops, and every
abearer that could be roasted is now in full employment. i
The •wages are 2.. a •day, without victuals. There is
snitch corn yet standing in this part of the country ; while
in many parts of Scotland it is in a very forward stew-
ard nee more producti; ~ and at the same time less
injured by atmospheric vicissitudes, has not been seen
for teeny years.-(Carliste Journal.)
The crops smut Glasgow for font miles look rich and
beautiful. For five miles on the Kilmarnock road le heavy
and excellent crop, mostly all ready for the sickle, presents
itself to the passenger. About a third is cot down, soil
if the weather hold fair far a fear days, shearing will be
very general.-'.A person coming to town on the Ayr road,
this morning abnitt 5 o'clock, numbered 157 shears be-
twixt Cathcart ar.l the Old Bridge. A great many were

slide, Sept. 25 )
Complaints have at length been made in oar markets, as
(aloe quality of most of the new wheat samples-what was
produced being light and of very inferior description.
It is worthy of remark, that new oatmeal was sold in
Stirling, on Saturday last, for the first time, being five.
weeks liter than last year. -(Stirlinff Journal.)
