Bankrupts and Dividends.

mg’ in the stack. The ordinary mildewed, 
smutted,and grown samples are unsaleable, 
as unfit for the speculator’s purpose, and 
there seems scarcely any other to which 
they can be applied, but pig-feeding. 
Barley is not, in every district,a large crop, 
and where it is so, it is almost all stained 
by moisture, or shrivelled and discoloured 
by blight. Oats, a middling crop, have 
perhaps escaped best. Beaus and pease 
are great crops, but partially blacked and 
even rotted. Turnips cover the land com¬ 
pletely, but perhaps generally run too 
much to foliage, to be heavy and produc¬ 
tive in the bulb. Grass is in vast plenty, 
and good in the uplands ; but must neces¬ 
sarily be very washy and weak, in flooded 
lowlands, and by no means safe for sheep ; 
indeed should the autumn prove rainy 
throughout, a rot in the sheep may be 
dreaded. Tares, though not a great crop, 
have had a great fall in price. Samples of 
hops having colour, sell readily, as being- 
scarce. The Spanish (Talavera) wheat, the 
native of a more favourable clime, as might 
well be expected, from not being yet na¬ 
turalized to our fickle seasons, has in the 
present, succeeded worst of all; our white 
wheats, as most delicate, the next. It is 
well worth the farmer’s while, to calculate 
this year, how- much he has lost by growing 
clover with his corn, perhaps a disadvan¬ 
tageous practice in any season. The vast 
plenty of food for cattle, sheep and pigs, 
both of vegetables and damaged corn, 
have produced some spirit in the* fairs and 
markets ; and the accounts from the great 
fair of Weyhil!, are saidto be exhilarating; 
there is, however, great want of the means 
of purchase among’ the farmers generally. 
Provisions may yet decline considerably 
further in value, thoug’h the bad state of 
the wheat crop may keep the price of bread 
somew’bat steady. Pigs are said to be 
more plentiful and cheap than for mauv 
years ; probably our breeders are beginning 
to set their faces againts the Irish supply. 
It seems to be generally agreed, that the 
past has been one of the worst seasons, and 
the late harvest the very worst within me¬ 
mory. Yet, as has ever been the laudable 
custom of certain news writers, most 
flourishing and soothing accounts are con¬ 
stantly given to the public, of abundant 
and beautiful crops. A few fortunate 
growers, indeed, in some of the earliest 
districts, have harvested their wheat early, 
and in condition and quantity nearly equal 
to the famous crop of last year : and fortu¬ 
nate Scotland, for the most part, has done 
so, and even seeded their fallows at the 
earliest period. The hopes of the farmers 
of obtaining any relief through the medium 
of the Agricultural Associations, grow 
daily more faint, and with great reason. 
The first proposal was indeed obviously 
delusive, the last absolutely absurd. The 
situation of the farmers,it cannot be denied, 
is most deplorable, and both for their sakes 
and of the public at large, a real and effec¬ 
tive remedy for this national disease, 
should be put in force with all possible 
speed. In the mean time, it behoves the 
farmer to probe, that they may discover, 
the original cause of their miseries. They 
will find that all this desolation has been 
brought upon them by the grand error of 
their lathers or themselves; and that the 
first step to their relief is, the conviction of 
that truth ; the next will consist in the 
adoption of truly patriotic principles in 
their proceedings.
