For nearly fortnight we have e0joyed uniater-
rupted fine weather, and harvest operations have
progressed very rapidly in all parts Of the kingdom

which, TO certain extent, will cause the result Of
| the harvest TO be more favorable than il could

we are decidedly Of opinion that the crops will

enced in July. The mischief thereby occasoned
appears 10 have been most severe on the fen ,nds;

mise raby deficient, and of wretchedly bad quality.
On the other hand, we can hear OF no district OF
importance, where even with the undoubted adj
vantage afforded by the late fine weather, the
yield Of wheat is estimated TO exceed that of coed
average seasons; and we car, Therefore, come 10
