The Crops in England.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Gloucester, says that he has
been an observer and a cultivator of crops
for the last fifty or sixty years, and never
did he see so rich prospect as the present
He adds:
'We have the heaviest shares of grass
/ ever remember, and the corn of all kinds
appear so luxuriant and so fine that no
season could ever surpass it; and 1 do not
despair of moderately early harvest, as
Vegetation for the last ten days has made
most rapid strides. have of late been
over great part of the Southern coun-
ties in England, and it is cheering in the
extreme, for never in any one season, to-
my knowledge, did I see the country look
ing, and in reality, in sush prosperous
state.
"How thankful should we be for such a
prospect of blessings as this, as we may
another year be shut out from any corn
from Russia; and we should, therefore be
trnly thankful. With the great abundance
of grass, we may calculate on great in
crease of fat cattle, although the stock in
the spring of the year was very low in
condition.
