Vfne whleat lharvest in this neigh-bonrhood.l)orsets1itre is nearly, finished, and is as well secured_as we ever rentember; the crops aLre good, and quality excellent. Some oat. -r, also harvested it fine condition; the crop an arerage one; The barley harv st ie jUst commencln; with every prospect of a good crop and fine qoalls3. In fact, tak.ng the crops of hay and ori 4t ogether, we have been given to understand that itis the most abundant season that haq been known for the last tweIIty years, and if we were to tease a lonrger period we shoule' not exaggera e.-Sherborbne Mlertary. The weather being most pro itious, the labours of the harvest field hlave continued since our last without intermision ; another week of it, and very little corr wil be found abroad in this neigh- bourhood.- Worcester Hcald. Very little wheat remains nowv uncut, and the satisfaction at the proluctiveness of the crops iF univerFal. A rnore favoetable time ftse reapiag could not be; and the rains, which it was expected -would have done much injury, h-ave proved, with the exception of kaving caused the wbeat, in a trifling degree, to grow in the ear (whicih we are informed was the case round the ncighbowrhood of Warmninster), of no detriment whatever; while to the barley and oats it was pecu- liarly beneficial. Of these speciesC of corn, the crops are generally abardtmnt and thriving, und if the weather continue good until they are cut, and safely stowed, the lhusbandman wiiU have every reason to be grteftil to a bountiful Providence.-Oatlh Joursu4 'I lie weather during the whole of the past week was exactly such as the fanuers wished for to accelcrate harvest home. The greatest rctivity has since prevailed, and a *vast quantity of wheat has in eon- sequence beets ctit, and carried in prime condition to the stack or barn. l'he fear that was ex ressed touching growing wheat has noav vanished. The barley and oat crops have been eqoally bencfitted by the favourable change of the wea her.which. if we inayjudge from present appearances, proti.ises to be of a Reasonablecontinuance. New wheat hah beer, sold here at Iili. per load.-Lewecs paper. The labours of' thc harvest have been very generally begun in this neighhourhisud, and promise to be rewarded moat bountetsusly - for never did crops of all sorts appe ar more prolific. There have been a rew occasional showers of rain during the week. but net of a con- tinuance to do anly harm to the crops.-LecKester C6roniici. We have now thc most beautiful harvest weather, and since the coiimimencemenit of tifc present harvest.inoon the corn has ripered fast. Reaping is gene-rl t hroughout the kingdom, and the crops good.- VArc;tcas?k (;'hro/n:ck. The weather on Sundav last happily clanged foy the better, and has since continued highly favourable to the labours of the field, whichl have proceeded with utuch activity. Shearing is now general in all thii district.-A'e wcastie paper. During the last week. the weather in this county (Coriwall) heat been mnot propi: iou forc the labours ot harvest, which have become getieral. Our correspondents fromn every part of thie county repre- sent thie crops as abundant. and the grain as being, generally, of tie very be-s quAity.-K-est Briton. 1i'c beauti;4il weather with which we have been favoured during this week h1s enabled the farmers in the vale ofthi6 county to house an lninense quantity ot' wvheat, in prime condition. Wve have great pleasure to add, that tiue oldest farmers do not recollect imore abitnd- ant crops olcorn of cvery dencriptian. The pour tire almost every wirere with welcome allowed; to glean, and to partake of that plenty with whicn it has pLieased Heavein to bless the land.-Canibridge liaprr. 'I'l,e rnost flAtterintgaccounis of the state of the harvest are given. troin all quaners ot' the thre. kingdom?is. They all. with few excep- tions, concur in stating that tt&'ciops are every where most promis- h:: and wvill considerahlv exccli he average f l'armer years. We observe that the t ipeiiine process is. generaliy, neallty as e .rly thisI year in Scotland a5 in England or Ireland.; and iftheprcenett favour- able weather continue for a slior tiute, sts witole crop v,-dlbe got into the bhtrn yard in excellent order.- datinirgth .Star. Siice tihe lrth instant, treqlwent and heavy showers have falien. which hav e mended the paciures and greatly pronioted the grow.h of the turnip crops. ivithout having inaterialys retarded the op- ra- tioens of liarrest. ThecittIi:g ot all kinds of griin is in fitill progress uver t' e whole di-trict, and jiere is a ?,ir prospect of the crop being housed under thie most tasvourable chicumstanc,~s. With regard to the quality of the di%irent kinds of' grain, the ut.-s in dry situ-tions tire certainil iiti-ht ; and whleat oti light soils wviil be deficient both in quanthty and quality, bhlt bailey iu aimost every where a good and t'ull ci mp.- Kiso IMaiU. .ilr.
