Crops in England.

A London correspondent writing to g
New York paper under date of the 10th
ult., says of crops in England:
We have had a week of remarkably fine
weather. and although fall of rain would
undoubtedly refresh the land, vegetation
makes steady progress and the young
shoots look healthy and vigorous. The
wheat plant is thin, however, IN some parts
of the country, and the roller has been in
general requisition; it may be fully expect
ed that when warm rains shall have fallen
the progress of vegetation will be very
rapid. Trade has been rather active, and
as the purchase of spring goods has been
increased through the fineness of the
weather and the lateness OF Easter, large
business has been done in spite of the holt
days. Prices are generally firm, and they
show tendency to improvement.
In reference to the crops, one OF the agri-
cultural Journals has the following remarks:
The rains referred to fell on Sunday last,
but they were very light in most parts OF
the country, and especially on the light
soils, on which heavy fall would be CRATE
full. -- .E.
Mild weather and grateful rains are
working wonders in most parts of England.
Vegetation is shooting rapidly, pastures
have changed from dead and frost-nipped
condition into bright green heritage, with
in the short space of three or four days,
and young clovers are springing up with
specially good and equable plants. The
wheats, more backward, thin and weak
than they have been known for years, are
only inst coming into readiness for the
hoe; the roller and presser have been uni
versally in requisitioa for solidifying the
dry and dusty soil about the plants, and
the crop has suffered severely from drought
following upon an excessive rainfall. Beans
and early peas alo coming up well. Both
oats and barley have this year a good seed
