With the exception of the very earliest spots in Scotland,
there is still a good deal of grain exposed. In the immediate neighbourhood of Edinburgh, and in the low grounds in this (the Glasgow) district, the fields are entirely clear; bat from the termination of the Almond Valley, as the ground rises to the West of Edinburgh, the quantity of grain out gradually inereasss, till the traveller arrives at the higher lands, where there is very Hula yet taktm in, and quantities still to cut. Between Glasgow and Stirling, f )1. instance, although the country does not rise much, at least a half of the grain crop is still out, and many fields to cut. This may generally be underoeod to be the case in the low dump and higher cold soils. In the Curse of Stirling there is a great deal of grain still in the fields. Ever y where the potato crop is beth abundant and of excellent (panty, and in the early distriets the farmers are busy lifting them. Tle....stme thing may be said of the tarnip crop likewise, so fitr as regard; quantity and quality. At Edin- burgh and neighbourhood, there bas been steam, drought and no rain for several days: ott Thursday the steeets were as dry as in mid- summer, and the dust flying in all directions. In the West country, we have been differently situated, with s_arcely a fey this week without rah: ; and when it is dry &nom, there has been no drought to dry up either the grain or the ground.--Wyees, Chronicle.
