We are glad to find from all quartets that the

fine harvestable weather of the lust few weeks still c prcvail on)hont the British Islands. The fear, therefore, of a deficient crop, will, we hope, prove at all events premature, if mg quite unfounded.—Glebe qf Thursday. In the same colunm of the Globe from which the above paregraph is extracted, we find the following from " our own (thst is, the G/obe's) correspondent "- of the lust few weeks still c prcvail on)hont the British Islands. The fear, therefore, of a deficient crop, will, we hope, prove at all events premature, if mg quite unfounded.—Glebe qf Thursday. In the same colunm of the Globe from which the above paregraph is extracted, we find the following from " our own (thst is, the G/obe's) correspondent "- " Liverpool Corn Market, August tat.--We have scarcely had sit* hours' floe iceathcr for many weeks past. c cold winds and almost incessant twin have caused serious deptession in trade, and very much retarded the growth of the crops in the vicinity of the good town.' It was hoped, indeed, that the fine weather at the commencement of last week might have continued, and by it an improvement in trade and agriculture: bid the hope proved .fallacious, and fur several days past a great quantity of ruin Vs chiefly in the night, and accompanied generally with cold westerly 1/1(18."

The IllanchcstrrGuardian, on the same subject, says- " We !egret to state, that the hopes of fair settled weather, which the improve. ineut of last week had petty generally inspired, have been blighted by a return, since Monday unwhing, of the ungeund and boisterous winds which h ice' me• veiled during the greater par t of the summer, attended by a depressed state of the barometer, and some quantity of rain. Altogether, the prospects of the harvest in time Northern part qf the island are row gloomy." The weather is at the present moment exceedingly precarioustlak. warm days enjoyed at the beginning of last week, and valid ..7 looked to as the commencement of settled summer weather, loo .71, given way to cold heavy blasts and terrific storms, particularly for last two or three nights, by which much of the standing corn hul; sadly beaten down. From all we have been able to gather took, the state of the wheat crop, from particular inquiry in different se; of the country, we are inclined to believe that a season of greeters', riety in the amount of produce on different descriptions of soil ts rarely been known. In poor light new soils the effects of ale; winter have proved irreparable, and the crops are exceedingly thin,

whilst in good soils the recovery has been greater than could pound' have been expected ; thus, whilst one has been boasting of an astir! dant, another has had to lament a deficient crop; and hence the varies character of the reports. In the agregate we trust that the crop will not be found much, if any thing, below an average. The blight aid red gum were beginning to be felt, but their destruction has not extended very greatly. Much will depend upon the state of the weather the ntsxt fin tnight. While the weather permits, the sickle is in fall operation.—Dursrt Chronicle.

The crops in Scotland are at present in a very ticklish predicament We had lately a week of very fine weather, which brought thence amazingly, and enabled the farmers to get in their hay ; but %seism had a change in the last two or three days for the worse, with evety prospect of some more wet weather. It is devoutly to be hoped thst this will not last, as the emartern loaf of fine bread at 11d. is no joke, is these hard times, for families of either the poor or middling classes who have ma :y mouths to provide for.—Letter in the Globe.
