THE STATESMAN:

b. The butcher had the best of this round, end he grassed his
adversary at close quarters by a chattering right-hande I hit

6; As good a fighting round as could be sp.'''. and which won
the battle. Tne Black hit his adversary a- full facer, and he
was counter-hit la tile body, which sent him half down.—Rae
moved up to the scratch *gala and let loose. A damaging cal v
followed, dvcidedly in Cavort of the black, who at last hit his
adv . y down, and it was poundage.
In the seventh round ele butcher cane drowsy to the scratch
as if Awake from a dream, Or had been at the wager daffy : he
was floored easy, and in the other two rounds he fell of him-
self, and the black kept his hands off. Of tin four beads three
were sewed up. The black, although a winner, had but one
discernable eye, and his adversary cut up well, but he must sot
try fur championship.

CROPS AND HARVEST.
By a gentleman who returned this week from Prance, ate
learn that the weather has been at least as unfavourable
there as here, for ripening the crops. In passing from
Southampton to London, he says, he bounk more corn cut
down, than lie saw in all his progteas from Paris to
Dieppe.
The harvest commenced very generally in the middle
and western parts of Norfolk at the end of last or the be-
ginning of the present week ; which has been variable in
weather. The crops are certainly, as far as we can learn,
fully an average in hulk, though the quality may be dootot-
ed, from the want of the customary• solar heat. Slionld
fine weather set in, the corn will fall ripe altogether, in-
stead of in the usual succession, and the harvest will be
pressed with a vigour and rapidity proportioned to the
lateness at which it commences.—(.Norwich Mercury.)
We are bappy to say, that a great quantity of corn is cut
and cutting in this county. The wheat oromims a full
average crop, and the barley is allowed to hr as fiae if not
finer, than ever known in the memory of man. The weather
has been very changeable, and much rain has fallen; hit
should we now have fine weather the harvest will be rich
and abundant.—(Notiingficrin Review.)
The little corn down will preclude the pleasures of the sports •
man lu the early part of September. The season has eerta:oly
been but an unpropitious one for the breed of partridges, but
at present no judgment can be formed of the coveys, breense
they as yet shew themselves but little out of the standing
wheats and barleys. The natural presumption is, that th-y
cannot ue so numerous or so large as last 3, ear.—(Vorcrich
Mercury.)
The Wheat h t has commenced in this neighbourhood.—
The crops are excellent, but the weather is not so favours b
as we could wish.—( Weymouth Gaselle.)
The harvest has also commenced in the neighboorhoe4 of
Sberborne. The crops arc abundant, with the exception of
Beans, which are i ijered by insects.—fluid.)
EAST ECTFORD, ACGUST 21.--The harvest here has
partially commenced, and the crops are abundant ; hut the
I weather has not been favourable for some tione,-we have hal
rain almost every day since our last. Mond ty morning was
extremely fine, but we had rain in the evening, and liitewise
on Tuesday morning, but the afternoon was very fine, the
thermometer out doors stood at 760 ; Weunesday morning
was very fine, bnt rain again in the evening; 'fliars,lay
morning, fine; depth of rain fallen since last Wednesday
0-62 inches.
Lincobm, Auo. 21.—The farmers about this place have
just began to cot wheat, in a few days it will be general
upon the cliff. The crop is about an average one. Fine e
weather is much wanted. The ground is completely soak•
with wet. There have not been above two or three (fa
entirely without rain for the last month. B.rl►y and.licin:rletniahees:.
are quite ripe, on the warm sandy soils; and in abut' s 3.
week will be nearly all cut.
A correspondent in Cumberland writs as follows: _that
weather has become alarming; thousands and tens of tSou-
sands of acres of hay are down throughout the country, •
greater part of it is nearly spoiled. The state of the ‘yreirt::,;itsce:
has been as remarkably ungenial in the wheat, that•it
rally thought there will not be more than two-thirds of .1 -

exarninati.m the ear is little more than half filled
looks well upon strong lands. Oats will be a bad er )p, owiuiy
to the cold nights. Peas and Beans in general look well, sad
an average crop is expected. The continued rains
favourable for the turnips, which look in a growin state;
for the rowena and titer grass. The account of 1 or throug•r+
out the country is very bad, and a rise in price i s jaily tatting
place.—(Blackure Mail.)
