The harvest has made extraordinary progress in the North of

Eng- land during the present week. In Yorkshire, the weather has been splendid ; in Lancashire, there has been stormy weather in the night, but the bright sunshine during the day has compensated for the rain of the night. The quantity of grain cut and secured has been immense. We may now say, with some kind of certainty, the people's food in these islands is provided till the next harvest.—Iceds Mercury, Sep- tember 12.
