Turnip fa Hows work well. The long coniiiuiauce of the easterly winds has ouch, retarded vegetation, and discoloured the leaf of the corn, but it is probable without I injury to the roofs; and some warm and geni- al showers from the westward would bring on ¡ a speedy and luxuriant growth, though an early harvest may not be experfed. Notwith- standing the length and severity of the frost, vermin Slave been as active as lIsnal, and great damage has been done to the wheat by the wire, worm in many parts. Those wheals which were cut off to the very ground by the frost tolly recovered, and even became rank and balky, until.checked by the late blighting weather. Some wheats are said to look thin tin on the ground, and to look sickly, but there is little danger of their recovery, under a favourable season All the spring crops look weli, and with some exceptions upon cold and wet hinds, clover, lucerne, sainfoin, tares, &c. are fully planted, and, promise great abun- dance. To save time in this critical season, the barleys have been generally put in with one ploughing. The fruit fiees have suffered greatly from cold and drought. The grass upon good meadow remarkably thick at hot torn, although necessardybackward. Pas- tures opened for stock, and ihe keep good and substantial, though short. Quantity of hay on hand large, notwithstanding the extraor- dinary consumption during the frost. Ewe stocks doing well, after very severe losses,- Markets declining for iii kinds of both lean and fat stock, and expected considerably Jower. The same in Ireland, where all kinds of produce are in the utmost abundance- Wool still a rising market, with no stocks of coarse wool on hand. Barking nearly finished.
