THE HARVEST IN ENGLAND.-The wea-
Their having continued fine throughout the
week, good deal of corn which was in
| jeopardy has been secured, some of it in
tolerahly fair order. There are many To-
calties, however, where the harvest is still
incomplete, AID much of the second crop
OF grass has persisted. The prospect of
the nation in respect to the cereals has
tnow much improved, and our necessities
have proportionately din inshed We can
not as yet though congratulate the coun-
try upon having gathered an average crop
OF wheat, while the quantity is much be-
low that rate, some of the new samples
sent to London and other markets being
quite unfit for the mill
The accounts from all parts of the Uni
ted Kingdom, as vel as from France, slow
that nearly the whole of the Grain crops
are now secured, and prove quite as good
in quantity and quality as could have been
hoped for at any time during the last two
or three months.
The barley which has been so long living
about has been now. to a great extent,
altered in, but much of it is sadly dis
colored, some again has sprouted and ia
ken altogether, large portion of the crop
will be unfit for mailing purposes. On
some farms, where the circumstances have
been more favorable, a pretty good crop
has been secured
In Ireland, the accounts received from
| all quarters tend to confirm the hone. that
| Notwithstanding the unusually severe sea-
son, the harvest will be more than an ay
erage one The Cork Reporter states that
all reports received from the most impor-
tant agricultural districts of the South of
ireland concur in informing as that we Will
certainly have more plentiful harvest and
better crops than had been generally antic-
lpated The supply Of oats and the quail
lty will be much above an average, and
wheat and barley will not be below an ay-
erage yield.-Ncrk Lane Express Oct. II.
