CROPS IN THE UNITED STATES.

(PROM TXi AMERIC tE PAPERS OP JUNII 20.)
The crops, we regret to state, (says the Albany
Argus) have a very unpromising appearance in this
and the neighbouring counties. The winter was very
unfavourable to wheat and glover. The kids, wawa el"
ternately frozen and thatvetaad lead bat a partial inel.
tempnrary covering of snow. In the counties lying upon
the Hudson, it is estimated that the winter wheat will
not give a third of the usual corp. Nor has the spring
been much more auspicieus to the farmer. The warm
weather in May generated myriads of insects, which
have preyed upon vegetation to an alarming extent.
Among these is our old enemy, the Hessian fly, which
has destroyed entire fields of grain. The Wire worm
and grab have been numerous and mischievous, while
the caterpillars have abounded in our orchards. The
season has withal been -unusually dry. Flax is indif-
ferent, and grass is very light. It is an opinion ex-
pressed by gentlemen who have ha-I an opportunity
of making observations, that we shall not have more
than a third of the small grains and grass, which
oar country ati,arded last year. it is farther re•
marked, that the contrast between farms well managed,
and those which are cultivated upon Cie old plan, was
never more manifest than at the present time.
Crops generally (says a Philadelphia paper) are un-
promising, in consequence of the severity of the winter,
and the want of shelter from snow; yeth is a pleasure
to learn, that in most of our cultivated farms, the
grain will yield two-thirds of a fell crop. Corn looks
well in the neighbouring counties, hut requires a
warm sun and genial rains to give it a favourable re-
salt. The appearance of the grass harvest, genet-41;y
speaking, is light. Oats, Barley, &c. are promising,
particularly it the weather should continue favourable.
The wheat crop in Virginia is represented as never
baring proMised less than at the present time. In
Maryland it is also very unpromising.
It is stated in a paper printed at Amherst, N. H.
that the drought in that state is uncommonly severe,
an•l that unless soon relieved by plenteous showers,
the crops west come in very short.

On Thursday evening, between the hours of seven and
eight, a man of rathe r a shabby appearance WAS Seel) to
jump from the recess of the third arch of Waterloo-
bridge, when a couple of watermen who saw him rowed
lup jnst in time to rescne the unhappy man from his
perilous situation ; and on the watermen seising him, he
exclaimed, " let me alone, let me alone!" and made a
desperate struggle to escape. lie stated, be had been to
Somerset-house, in expectation of some money, but of
which he was disappointed. A subscription was imme-
diately !Mile for the watermen who preserved his life.
We understand that in consequence of the reduc-
tion in the price of Malt, Mr. CMAPMIN, of the Bag-
nigge Wells Brewery list determined to make his Ale,
Table Ale, and Table Beer of such superior quality es
will enable him to defy all competition. When we con.
eider the importance to families of possessing a Lverage
free (ruin the noxious ingredients usually employed in
the composition of that necessary article, we cannot
be surprised at the extensive patronage he so deserv-
edly enjoys. Such patronage we hope will always
be given to meritorious individuals who prefer a stuaill
profit and fair name to the risk of destroying the health
of their fellow-creatures by a wicked and unfeeling cu-
pidity. To satisfy the most fastidious as to the genuine-
ness of his articles, Mr. CHAPMAN makes half yearly the
following affidavit.
..R, CHAPMAN. of Bagnigge Wells Brewery, Ale,
Table Ale, and Table Beer Brewer, maketh oath and saith
that his Ale, Table Ale, sad Table Beer, are brewed treat
Mall and Ho pa only, and that he never has, nor ever will
permit or suffer any drags or other injurious ingredients to
be used in his brewery. " R. CHAPMAN.
