"ME SEASON.
The weather, during the whole of blot week, tare a
•
chilness to tit:air, which is n ,t very common to the
month of Juno. On Monday 11,4110 of the onside pas•
senders of our stage-coach were seen doulde great-coat- •
cd; and on Tuesday morning the early risers had to
witness a shay!) frost, which the tender p arts of v •geta-
tion exposed to it mast have felt. Ihe Day Harvest is
pretty generally going on in this neighbourhood. ant so
have beard the crops complained of as extravagantly
light compiled iiitla those of last year. The youtt.t.
Wheats ate bursting into full ear, and various are the
reports touching their probable prodnre ; hot the
• growths of the lYealed are generally allowed to he more
promising than timer of the Downs. The Lent Corn,
we understand, looks well in most sitoati gas.

YORK, JUNE 21— RI PE CHERRIES IN JUNE.—UnTnes.•
day last, Mr. Thomas Newbold, of Wilberfuss, near this
city, plucked in his garden, a pond of ripe rherries,.
which he sold for the sum of three shillings. This is a
striking proof of the mildness of the weather in thevid- ,
nits of York.

LEEDS, JuNte 21.—The liay harvest is commencing.
in forward spots, but by no mean, become general. The
crops are light, particularly on the uplands, and the Cute
is got.e by for improvement. The nights, fur the last
week, have been cold and frosty, and some blighting-
mists have been visible in the ri.iy time. These have
given Is temporary check to the spring corn, but the
wheats are beyond their reach. We are sorry to bear that
the fine prospect of apples is considerably diminished—
the trees (according to the Irisbisur, much used by the
comsnoe people) being singed by the frost, which will
occasion many to fall off before they come to maturity.
A handful of wheat ears twas on Monday se'nnight
plucked out of a field of *sheet in Gedney Marsh, Lin-.
colnahire, where there are 24 acres of corn in ear.

In the night of Sunday week, the rain fell in torrerts
at Lancaster and the neighbourhood, and caused the
greatest flood in the Lime that has ever been known for
several year.% A horse. several sheep, parts of wooden
bridges, young trees, &c. passed down the river on
Monday.
After a cold and unnromising Spring, Nature is now
hreahing forth in all the elegance and exuberance of
Summer. Since our last, the strte of the atmosphere.
has been every thing that could be desired fur the sea.-.
son, resembling in many respects the delightful clinics
of Italy, while the fields and gardens display the charm-.
ins; verdure of England. In several districts, including
the neighbourhood of Carlisle, the harvest has cont.:
meneed, and the grass is in genera abundant, but mews
remarkable for thickness in the award, than for length
of blade.—The wheat crops, especially those after fat
low, have assumed a most I;ixtiriiitis appearance, with-
scarcely a defective spot, except in some very wet and
springy places unfavonrable to culture.—Oats have beet
seldom seen to look be'ter ; and barley rises vigorous
and healthy.—Alinost every kind of garden invoke..
flourishes in high perfection ; but it is thought visit
apples and tears nill nut be so plentiful is was anticip
ted, though stone fruit will probably abound. (loose-
berries and currants have failed ; the former from the
effects of a biting frost in May, and the latter from a
swill green insert, myriads of which are non p•eyi.vt
upon the currant bushes, and causing the young fi nit t.,)
drop off, as soon as formed.
A couple of cherries, fall-grown, well-formed, nnd
completely ripe, were on Monday brought into our •ilieo,
by way of specimen. The fruit grew cm an ...wither in
the open air, and in the garden of Mr. Allan, of Fontait
bleau.—(Ber7ffries paper.)
