leys, which vwrc boguming to fool the cfFc£\s of tho drought ; and 

 from the late rains, the barleys are much improved. The turnip crop 

 will in general be a good one. The wheat, in the fcvenil counti<'3 near 

 the metropolis, generally fpeaking, is but a thin crop, and in feveral 

 diltritls has fufFercd from blight. On the flrcng lands in Kent the 

 crops are good, but mollly laid down by the heavy rains ; but on the 

 light lands they are thin, and very foul. Oats in feveral diflrids are 

 good, and in general will be a fair average. The early White Peas are 

 very light ; Hog Peas in general look well, and tlie accounts from 

 Suffolk of their White Pea cro]) are favouvable. Beans will be a fair 

 average. — Tlie profpecil of the Hops in Kent and Surrey is very fa- 

 vourable ; in confequence of wliich the price of that article is on the 

 decline. — The hay crop near London has been a very abundant one, 

 and was all han-elted in the befl order. Old hay is now fold fnjm 4I. 

 to 4I. los. per load, which in the early part of May, from the bad ap- 

 pearance of the crop then, had fold from 5I. 6s. to 5I. los. — The fupply 

 of oats at Mark-Lane for a month pall has been chiefly foreign, and 

 very few of fine quality. For tv/o montiis pail we have had none from 

 the North, and very few from Yorklhire. — Rye has been cutting down 

 for two days paft, and appears a good crop. A few oats on light 

 lands wilfbe cut in the courfe of this week ; and, fhould this favourable 

 weather continue, we may expert hr.rvell to be general in the courfe of 

 ten days.

Norfolk garter ly Report. 

 The favourable opinion given in lall P«.eport of the wheat crop iu 

 this county, is not likely to be eihibhihed by fa£ts ; for, owing to the 

 premature luxuriance formerly mentioned, and to the ravages of the 

 grub and wire-worm, the plants have been fo thinned, that the produce 

 cannot poffibly exceed three fourths of an average crop ; and this con- 

 clufion is drawn without making any alloVf-ance for blight or mildew, 

 wlijch have already appearo-d \\\ many fields, and mult deteriorate the 

 quality, a^id reduce the quantity conhdcrably. The mifchief occalion- 

 cd by the grub and v.-ire-worm may be palliated, perliaps completely 

 ^prevented, a.s the evil muft in a gi€>\t me^WWe be aUi-ibuted to the pre-
