EYE continued rains which fell during the clase of the last, and beginning of the present, 
moath, have not proved injurious tothe grain crops. They look well in most places, and 
the harvest will, without doubt, turn out much better than was supposed. The wheat in- 
mahy of the southern counties, has been already secured, and found to prove well. 
All the other sorts of crops ere coming on fast for tne sickle 3 and both barley and oats have 
been reaped i inseveral places, toa considerable extent. The harvest will immediately be ge= 
neral in most penis ‘of the kingdom. 
The potatoes have been everywhere greatly improved by the rains in the beginning of last 
wioathy and wiil now mostly prove good crops. 
The turnips are likewise everywhere in the most promising state, the rains coming €X%~ 
tremely se2sonable for them, ‘especially these sown at a late period. 
The grass in general looks tolerably well,- and in some places there will be on crops of 
aftergrass.

MONTHLY COMMERCIAL REPORT. - 
pres Trape anv ManuFacturts. — Although the distresses which have of Tate 
prevailed-in the mercantile world are not quite terminated, yet, we are happy to state, 
@hat they have in a great degree subsided. Many of the embarrassments were of a merely 
temporary nature, and several persons, whose entire: failure would have involved numbers 
ef the middling and lower orders of socicty in ruin, have given their creditors full proof of 
their ability to discharge all demands ultimately ; and, in consequence, have obtained time 
for the fulfilment of their engagements, and been permitted to pursue their-various occupa- 
tions. We understand that meetings have been held at Exeter, and other places in the’ 
west of England, at which a number of banking-houses made frank and unreserved displays 
of the state of their property, by which it was satisfactorily shewn that they were possessed 
of funds fully adequate to meet the present juncture. The consequence has been a general 
restoration of confidence in that wealthy and populous part of the kingdom. The manuiac- 
tarers of Manchester have been considerable sufferers by the failures of the Lonion houses 3 
and we are sorry to learn that trade is in a more stagnant state there than it has been for 
several years past. Fhe woollen manufactures of Yorkshire have been somewhat revived, 
. by the renewal of our intercourse with América : the total quantity of cloths made in that 
extensive county during the year ending March 95, 1810, amounted to 15,777,503 yards; 
being an increase above the preceding year of 1,447 833 yards. In a former report we, 
noticed the disgraceful manner in which French: paiwneeeys are suffered to interrupt our 
maritime commerce on the very coasts of Great Britain, and we are now epce more under 
the painful-necessity of recurring to the subject. Thaitave have some cause to complain of 
the inattention which the legislature evinces on this’point, the following fact will clearly 
demonstrate :—On Sunday the 16th of last month, areal ships were captured by French 
privateers within a few miles of the North Foreland, although, shameful to relate, there were 
three gun-brigs at the time lying in Margate Roadss which never attempted either to intere 
sen the proceedings of the marauders, or to proteek their own shipping! We trust the 
uggestion which we mean to convey by this statement will not be disregarded.
