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 growers 

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

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

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

 reasonable prices. Gooseberries have been plentiful, and of 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 thi-oughout 

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

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

 sorts of cheri'ies, such as May Dukes, Bigarreaux, White and Black Hearts, 

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