The English Harvest.
--The London Times, speaking of the harvests of 1862, says the results are unexpectedly favorable. It is not quite an average crop, but it is very little short of the mark. What, with foreign and what with some produce, the granaries of the kingdom will soon be full. A correspondent of the same paper, who represents himself to have traveled over the greater part of England, says:‘ "The wheat crop will be from six to eight bushels below an average per acre, and of a shrivelled and inferior quality; the barley will be ten, and oats from four to six bushels below an average; that winter beans (which is an important auxiliary crop in England) are in many cases a total failure, and spring sown beans about an average crop; of peas there is a fair crop; of Swedish turnips, which are largely depended upon for fodder, only about half a crop; and of mangled wurzel two thirds of a crop; potatoes are from ten to twenty per cent. above the average; meadow hay is abundant but badly secured; clover hay above an average and of good quality, and the pastures full of ‘"keep,"’ but poor and not of a very fattening quality. As a consequence, England will be in the market as a large purchaser, her consumption being estimated three hundred thousand bushels a day more than she can raise. In France the crops are below an average."
