PROSPECTS OF HARVEST.

NEW Clastx.—On Wednesday new Irsre barley ap•
peared at our market. The quality was excellent. i •
was sold at Ss. 9d. per barrel of 16 stone.--(Waterfut 41

Mirror.)
Our accounts from every part of the country repre-
sent the growing crops in the most thriving condition.
since the last rains. A gentlemaa in this neighbourhood
Tani that a field of -oils tad actodly grows kern CM
to eight inches within the last fortnight. The,potatoe
crop is now also thriving remarkably. In the begin-
ing of this week a field of barley wes rut flows en
Mr. M'Alaster's farm, in the parish of killead, and
proves to be a good crop.—(Belfest Paper.)
From present appearances the Wheats in this neigh-
bourhood are expected to be a defective crop, both as
to quantity and to quality. The Oats and Deans look
promising, and will, no doubt, yeild abundantly.—
(Devizes end Wiltshire Castile.)
The harvest has commenced in the West of England;
a fine field of barley was cut down in the neighlrour-
hood of Penzance on Wednesday ; and in several
parts of Cornwall and Devon, the wheat is ready for
the siskle.
There is now growing, in a field belonging to Mr.
John Pantos, of Milton, a wild oat, the stalk of which
measures ten feet and a half in height, and one inch
girth, and has one hundred and fifty chords !
In the southern parts of Scotland the crops may be
termed an average. Wheat looks remarkably well and
healthy; Bed since the late rains the crops of Barley,
Oats, and Potatoes have acquired an excellent growth.
Turnips are also looking better. The Hay crop on dry
land was rather light, owing to the drought, but on
damp land there has been a fair crop. In orchards the
fruit will be scarce, the frost in spring having damaged
the blossoms ; hot in gardens there is an excellent
crop.

vest, wages for men were victuals and 12.5. r -1. week ;

MARKETS.

Coax EICMANGR, Avovsr 6.—Having a large supply
of Wheat this morning, and the weather being favour-
able, caused a very heavy sale of %Vheat at a decline pf

posed of at that abatement, having no buyers for the in-
ferior qnalities.—Beans are Is. per quarter cheaper, and
Oats were dull sale at a reduction of full Is. per quarter
from the prices of this day se'rmight, the arrivals having
been very considerable.—ln Barley, Peas, and other ar-
ticles there is no alteration.
