he recolieeted that the wheat harvest does
not commence in England until about the Ist
oil August, and ends about the 2Oih Of that
month The present adviees of the weather
should be received with a great deal OF eau
ion. That The rains may injure the crop OF
grass IS very probable, as hay is usually cut
between the last Of June and the last Of Jul,
1t should be remembered, that last year we
received very similar intelligence respecting
the weather, the rains continued In England
from the ist to the 10Th of July. On or a

change In the weather. which continued good

that very little dependence of failure can be

IS abnndant time for the weather to change;

IN England may yet be secured, so as not 10
