We are sincerely sorry to state, that numerous complaints respecting

the appearance of the growing wheat plant have reached us during the last few days. We are aware that some of these accounts may probably be exaggerated, and therefore receive them with caution as, how- ever, they come from many different sources, there is too much reason to fear that actual cause for complaint exists ; nor can we feel surprised at this, when we take into consideration the state of the weather at the tune the seed was committed to the ground, and the heavy rains which subsequently fell up to the middle of February.—Mark Lane Express. With regard to the several descriptions of corn crops in Yorkshire, thew appearance at the present time is not equal to expectation. They seem to have suffered from several days' continued showers which fell some time ago, accompanied by chill and piercing eastern winds. In ninny instances indeed, the effect of these severe winds is visible on the foliage of the trees, which in some localities present the appearance of being blighted. The wheat crops appear short, thin, and stunted ; and although much improvement may take place, if happily more favourable weather should prevail, there is not presented that hope of luxuriance and fruitfulness which appeared to be sufficiently warranted some time ago. The same remark applies to other descriptions of grant ; and it is not too much to assert that the aspect which is pre- sented around falls short of previous anticipation.—Doncaster Gazette. The unseasonable and boisterous -winds that prevailed last week, but more particularly on the 19th, have done considerable damage to the crops in many parts of Northumberland. Some of the light turnip soils have suffered severely ; the drills with the seed or young plants, and the expensive manuring of bone dust, having been blown off the fields. The gardens have also sustained great injury. The potato-crops, we regret to hear, have in many places failed, in consequence of the rot in the seed, which has taken place more or less for a few years past. The late dump season, and the very wet state in which the last crop was got in, have probably tended to increase the disease.—Neweasile Chronicle.

The past week's weather has proved most disastrous to the hop- plantations; and we may with certainty state that there will he scores of acres in this district which will eat produce a single hop. Such has been the effect of the cold nights and windy weather, that the filth has increased by myriads ; and on the low and weak grounds the honey is so abundant as to put a complete stop to every progress of vegetation.— Xtitinfihnin Paper.

The crops of hay in the Isle of Wight are mostly- secured; but the deficiency throughout the island in general is most deploreble for those who have to pay a heavy rental.—Ilumpshire Atiro-fismr.

In many districts throughout Berkshire and Bueltinghanyddre. the wire-worm has done serious and irreparable injury to the wheat. flan several farms the wheat is exceedingly thin, and lee; than an average crop may be expected. The harvest upon those lands which were sown early will commence in about a month. Burley and oats look well, and promise an excellent crop, with plenty of straw.—Lourier.
