We perceive that attempts are made in some quarters to
excite alarm respecting a failure of the crops, from the long protracted dry weather. That moisture has not accompanied the change of the wind has no doubt produced considerable disappointment, but still there is no rea- gent to conclude that the grain crops are injured so as to materially affect the average production. We have been at considerable pains to obtain the best information from the houses that have the most exten- sive correspondence throughout the United Kingdom, and the con- elusion is, that the wheat-crops up to the present period promise to give eatherinore than lees than an average return. The spring crops in the Southern and Home counties of England have in .many places _ suffered considerably; but these are the districts-where, comparatively,
the least of that description of grain is produced; and the deficiency *II be proportionally less felt on the general average.—Standard.
