Tn_ harvest prospects at Home and in Europe were by no means cheerful when the last mail left. The crops at Home had suffered terribly from the tempests that had prevailed, and hundreds of aores of cereals were on the ground, broken and tangled, moulding and sprouting. The potato disease was very prevalent, and threatened a great diminution of what would have otherwise been a good crop. A great deal ef damage had been done to the fruit trees by the winds. Amongst the hops in the South the mould was running fast, and it is now feared that the crop will be far below the mark in all respeots. In Germany, Belgium, and Holland they were still getting too much rain, aad the harvest was naturally retarded. Throughout the whole of Western France the harvest is as backward as it is in England.
