N.B.-The Observations are made twice every day, namely, at eight o'clock in the morning, and eight o'clock in the evening. The morning observations in the first columu are made on the Register Ther mometer. THE crops, with the exception of potatoes, being now all secured, and with a rapidity which but seldom occurs in this country, it appears, by the reports from the different districts, that the produce has turned out fully more than an average one. The wheats are in general of fine quality, a great proportion of them weighing from 60 lb. to 63 lb. per bushel Winchester, although smaller in the grain than last year. The breadth of barley sown was greater than for many years past, and the return has been abundant. The early barleys, however, are thin, coarse, and inferior to those of last season, by three lb. or four lb. per firlot; but the latter sown are of good quality, and weigh from 51 lb. to 52 lb. per bushel Winchester. Oats, on fine dry lands, have been rather light; but on the late soils the produce has been abundant, and the quality excellent. The return in some places has averaged 17 bolls per acre. The peas and beans, in most districts, have been more than usually productive, and the quality very superior. The potatoes will be under an average crop; but both these and the turnips have considerably improved by the showers which fell in the beginning of September. The dry state of the soil prevented the sowing of wheat before the 25th of September, except on clay or retentive soils; so that, in general, wheat will be later than it was last year. The greater part of that grain has now been sown in fine condition, and has given a fair and excellent braird. The fallow grounds have in general been most advantageously finished. Few potatoes have hitherto been taken up, and the excessive rains that have fallen on the 11th, amounting to 24 inches in 24 hours, will stop that operation for some time. What has been taken up is fully one-third below a general return. stems are still green, and the tubers seem not yet to have acquired a proper firmness for handling. Turnips, on dry soils, were completely set, and the foliage quite covered with mildew; on such soils they will not amount to half an average weight of crop, and the rains have come rather late to be of much advantage to the ripened turnip.—Oct. 14. The Filbert nuts were ripe and began to drop by the 18th September. The Maryland Golden rod (Solidago cæsia) came in flower on the 24th; the Aster mutabilis, or changeable Michaelmas daisy, by the 27th. The lower flowers of Tritoma media (an elegant exotic now naturalized in Britain) were open by the 10th October. Wheat that was sown on the 26th September gave a braird on the 5th October; the mean temperature during that period being 520.-Perthshire, 12th October. 12 Aggregate Average Prices of the Twelve Maritime Districts of England and Wales, by which Importation is to be regulated in Great Britain.
