27 JULY 1839, Page 8
A very heavy rain has flooded various parts of the
country, and con- siderable damage has been clone. The grain crops, however, have not yet experienced any serious injury. Four or five weeks of dry warm weather would insure at least average, if not abundant crops of wheat and oats throughout Ireland. Owing to the high prices of the last two years, a much greater breadth of wheat has been sown than usual. Whilst the late rain continued, people here were becoming much alarmed. Potatoes promise well almost everywhere. The most distressing accounts of the state of the poor still continue to be xeceived from Mayo, Galway, Limerick, Clare, and Kerry.—Times Dublin Correspondent.
