Observations. — The effects of the unseasonable frosts in May last have 

 been sensibly felt in the deficiency of the crops of fruit as furnished in the 

 supplies to our market generally, "but the severity of the loss to the srowers 

 has not yet been felt in its extreme, as it is in the later sorts of frui't, more 

 particularly, the failure will be experienced. Strawberries, from the threat 

 breadth cultivated for the supply of the London markets, have been^ fur- 

 nished in tolerable quantities, and, during the heiirht of the season at 

 reasonable prices. Gooseberries have been plentiful,''and o£ good size and 

 excellent quality, at fair, remunerating prices. Currants are" a very short 

 crop, and by no means so fine in the bunch as usual : the price throushout 

 the season has been high. Our best supply has been from the lower part 

 of Kent, where they are now cultivated extensivelv. The better and finer 

 sorts of cherries, such as May Dukes, Bigarreaux, N^Tiite and Black Hearts 

 have been very scarce and dear. The" more common varieties, such as
