For the last tbea week8 the7ether hEsbee1jg5 favtrntble for the labour8 of harv&st as has been reiJaemb,ered by the oldcst pesson in this county; in consequence, the far.gremer gat of the crn grown in CornwasU has been airea'y fecurea1, in prime order. Fronm every part of the county the accounts are most gratifing, botb M to the quantity and qual.ty of the grain that hasalready been swved-West Britoa. We feel great pleasure in stating that the bazsest in this county is nearly over, and that the produce is excellent both in quantity snd qualitv.-Devootnhire Precholder. A fortnight of more delightful harvest weather has never been known in this country than that which -pvecded Thursdavlast ; but on the evening of that day wse were visited with a thunider-stor,n succeeded by several heavy showers, which continued during the greater part of the night. Yesterday the sky was overcast througkout the sday, but as no rain fell, it is confidently expected that the reapers wrill soon be enabled to resume their important la- bours, and that much corn will be secured in the ensuing Tweck I4y tar the greater part of the grain is alreadv cut downin the immeditte ecighbourhood of this city, and a considerable quantity led off the ground in the betst possible condition. In al yarts of Great Bri- tain the present harvest promises to be oneof tie most productive that has been knowvn in the mnemory of man; the Teporte from Ire. land are equa.lv favoutiabl, n.nd upon the Continort the crops are stated to be no less abundantL. Thr s, not only in tbese kingdorOs. but thrrlughout Europe, the supply of corn will be unlimuited, and must bring e-iti it not only a material fall of prices, beitalso - re. duction of the disp .ortionate rents still paid by fa ra..-are- lisle Journrrl. The weather still continues favourable to the harvest, and dutring the last week immense quantities have been cat down Wadnasday and Thursday were uncomynonlv fine and hot day5, and must have materially assisted in ripening such corn as is ret backward. The thermometer on the latter day was at 80 in-the ebade. In the afternoon, the sky towards the ue-st became obscured with heavy murky clouds, irdicative of a thunder_storni, wbich, at hif..past five, burst over this town. The storm raged with fury till near eight o'clock; the liehtning was vcrv vivid and frequtnt, and thle peals of thuntler loud and awfLel. From the sousnd ot thunlder and direction of the lightning, the taorm appeamed to be immediteely above the river, and at tno great distance. A very beavy shower of raun fell at the comniencement of tbe storm.-Ncewca*1X; C7zronick. field of wheat reaped last -Reek at fieworth, belonging to Mr. Rutsell, has produced the extraordinary eron of 344 eheaves wr acre, which are estimated to yield upwards of 30 bolLe of corn s 'ery, little corn now remains uncarried in the south of Devon. Exceptng a little that was carried early, before the fine weatber, it s housed in cxcellent condition. The jquantity and queaity of this year's crop wr,as never exceeded.

Perhaps there never was a prospect of a more lururiant crop of all sorts rain than atpresent; indeed, the farners ncknowledgc that they never knew a fi "er season. To ise their o,zn words, Coauttre iw fu1ll of stuff." This is literally tht case; and the probabiii&v of getting it well in is increased by the continuance of fine and tct1ted weather..

The oldest man living does not remember a hay and corn harvest of such uninterrupted flie weater, and such arge crops.-Potter`v Gaselle. The weather not only continues drv. but is beatetifully dear antl evarmn. Thermometer 7t * barometer ao. A greue deal of corn has beeni inned in the best posxible condition-Glat*w Chronicl. A few days more will terTRinate the labours of the harvest field in this district. 'We believe tthat gesezul content and e afattion at the abundant produce which ha.s been gathered in has crowned them, and we ho3e also as universal gratitude to that Almighty Being to whose boun1tiful goodness we ate inslebted for it. Several samples oC wheat of this year's growth were ethibited i.a oi r market on Satur. day, and f etched 2s. per bag. Their quality was a;cellent., Wor- cester ReralM The harvest has become very general in-thia county since the last fine weather: the crops are every where abudant, anTid eF the best u1uality.-Carsaanr,n jogril,. The people of this country, it would appear, frora the accounts received from the different parts of the kingdom, are doomed to suf- fer, for another year, under, according to the theory of my -Lord Liverpool, that greatest of curses a superabundant harvest. Every statement that we have seen gives the most fiattering inteLigene; the crops are every where exceedingly plentiful, and should the fine weather continue, both the agricultudizt (for we will not have it that it is an evil for him to have an exce2s of produce) and the consumer may anticipate one of the mnest successful seasons that has occurred for many years. In this county the harvest bas become general - and il a short time the crops will be all cot in. The only complamit that we hear (and as we hear itonly from thefarmerswhomntitc.rn plain Ol sorethtg,s' uis not, perhaps, true to the full extent) is., that there will be a failure in oaits, which will be scarcely asn average crop; but of every other description of graln the croS are most abundan.-.Durhn CArosiicle.
