The grass is iii many places nearly lit for the scithe ; the pasture lands are in a most luxuriant condition; and the wheats arc very healthy, and toake great progress. The apple crop lias not sustained the extensive damage which was apprehended from the frosts. In many places there will be an excellent crop. Haymaking has commenced in several parts of Sumersetshire.—Western Luminary We notice that grass has been cut in several places in the vicinity of Wor- cester. The rain now falling has, of course, put a stop to the progress of the mower; but its effects will, we doubt not, be found to have added materially to the bulk of the crop, already afair average, when the weather shall become suitable for the resumption of his labours.— Worcester Herald. The oldest inhabitants throughout the rich vale of Pewsev never remember wheat haying such a luxuriant appearance at this season of the year as at the print ti me.— II 7Its licrahl.
The late congenial weather and fine rains have much forwarded the crops of grass in the vicinity or Ripon which will not only prove heavy, but earlier than anticipated. Several fields will be ready for the seithe in a week or two. —//1/il./1/./. Guorilion. A finer appearance of crops of all kinds (in Ayrshire) has not been wit- nessed for many years.

Potatoes, too, have the chit- rateristics of health, and are beautifully braided : nowhere in this vicinity are any symptoms of failure observable. 'Pasture-grass is so excellent, that many of the Mrmers :we enabled to graze a third more cattle thau in the preceding year. Carden crops are also in good condition ; with one exception—the onion beds are very deficient ; this, ani-.1 the almost total destruction of the early fruit, are the only drawbacks to the general prosperity.—Kibnarnock Journal.
