From the Belfast Northern la'My of Thursday•--" The continuance of

wet, unfav,trable 'heather, has had a prejudicial effect on the harvest ; which, for the present, tangs in a very precarious state, notwithstanding the great exertions our farmers are making, during every hour at all fit 1Or field-work. The grain brought to market is also much more variable in condition than formerly ; and many samples of wheat and barley show a large proportion of sprouted and damaged pickles ; and it is to be feared, that much of the grain now exposed will preseat similar appearance of damage, when prepared for market."
