The Wheat in this neigh borhood has been harvested, and with the exception of a slight touch of the rust and smut, has realized the expecta tions of the agriculturists the Cotton crop, we regret to slate, cannot hut be indifferent the seasonable rains with "which we were favored the beginning of the present week, will operate much in favor of the Corn, and a tolerable crop in ay yet be made. The following paragraphs exhibit the prospests in the eastern and western sec tions of this State: "Wc arc sorry to learn, (says the Elizabeth-City Star,) that there will be almost an entire fail ure of the Cotton crops, in this and the adjoining counties, owing to the uncommon cool weather. Indian Corn has also suffered se verely from the same cause, and late heavy rains," - "A large proportion of the ear ly Wheat was harvested, and sav ed in good condition, during last week: (says the Salisbury Caro linian) and the crop has proven to be a more abundant one than has been raised for a number of years past: the late wheat, however, has been greatly damaged by the rust. Of Oats, we -never saw a more luxuriant growth than the fields generally present. Corn is re markably thrifty, and will yield to those who cultivate it well, if the weather continues seasonable, large crops. Cotton looks well; and, if the after season is favora-j ble, will be a good crop.

That it will be as acceptable to them as to the auditory, we do not doubt; for it derived none of its interest from any attempt at oratorical dis play. It was delivered in a plain, unaffected, modest manner.

This occasion was rendered particularly inter esting by the Address of Judge Murphcy, delivered on the day preceding the commencement, at the request of the Dialectic Soci ety, and in pursuant of a concur rent resolution of that and the Philanthropic Society. The known talents of the gentleman chosen, had led the public to an ticipate a rich intellectual treat; and consequently an unusually nu merous company, including much of beauty and fashion, were drawn together by the occasion. Pub lic expectation, high as it had been raised, was not disappointed; and the intense interest with which the orator was listened to, evidenced the admiration which was afterwards universally ex pressed.
