HARVEST.-MARKETS.
We are informed by a gentleman who has travelled
through the West of England that the fineness of the
weather for the last three days has attracted crowd. of
men, women, and children into the core fields, where
every etertion is making to cut down and house that
part of the harvest which in some places has bees
rather backward. Another week of each weather
must make a happy change in the Corn Market.
MasoATa, Sue. 18.-Our HUM* is over, and
the Crops safely housed, with the exeeptios of a little
Canary and Beans ; the Wheat and Barley are im-
mense crops; never perhaps did the earth bear more
abundant than this year. The late rains have bees
particularly favourable to the Turnips ; the Potatoes
ire excellent, and promise a wonderful crop. Fruit
of all description are plentiful. We have now the
blessing of every thing in great abundance, and of the
best quality before us.
The Maidstone Gazette says " The weather has
been very unfavourable for the harvest until the last
three days, bat since the change that took place on Sa-
turday, the farmers have been actively engaged in get-
lag in their crops. The rain has certainly done some
damage to the corn, but there is much reason to be-
lieve that the average produce of the country will be
suck as to prevent any great permanent advance is
price."
The Bury end Norwich Post, received yesterday,
contains the following account of the harvest.
" The accounts from various parts of the countyy
are very contradictory as to the injury done to the has...
vest ; but it is clear that a great part of the late rise
was speculative. We believe there is very little wheat
abroad now in this part of the kingdom. We had
good supply of wheat, both new and old, at Nor.
*Ws market on Saturday, sad higher prices were
obtained, though the farmers were more disposed to
sell. We bad a tolerable :apply of Scots and home-
bred lean beasts. The fait prospect for a full tur-
nip crop has given some life to the market, but
operated nothing as yet upon price. The usual quan-
tity of lambs and fat sheep were driven to the pens.
.tad no alteration in price. At Harleston Fair on the
10th, lambs were full 2s. higher than at Ipswich."

turtley the receipts et Wheat and Oats were superar
handaut. almost Without a parallel or a precedent,
particularly at this season of the year. Wheat. in the
early part of the day, might be quoted at 245. to 27e.,
aftetwards it rated at 20 to 265.. but at the close of the
market prices advanced again-prime 255. to 275.;
Barley still continued in very limited supply. and
might be new rated at 9s. to 9.. 9d. ; Oats, inferior
down to Bs.. prime 10s. to I Is.; Flour of all deserip.

demand and prices.

Ma. CORNETT'S OPINION or TSB will
not be good, all taken together. There is more blight
in Eesex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, than I saw in Sussex,
The wet and cloudy weather has kept it back; and
the weather still menaces. So that we seem to he
likely to have some little of the Prime Misdate?*
relief;" namely, that of a bad harvest ! Good God !
What a state we are in, when oar Prime man hopes to
see us relieved by our having our crops rotted in the
field !
