Hobart's Town, THE rain that fell between the 17th May and the 14th June amounted in depth to nearly five inches, The cloudy and moist weather which prevailed during that period was succeeded by dry weather with warm sunshine. On the 27th June the mercury in Fahrenheit's thermometer rose to 85o in the shade, but on the evening of the 4th July it fell as low as 41°, and in some of the higher districts it approached near to the freezing point. From the 4th the temperature became gradually more elevated, and on the 10th and 11th the mercury in the thermometer rose to 76° and 789; but there has been little or no rain for these four weeks past, and vegetation now begins to languish for moisture, of which many of the growing corns indicated superabundance at the date of our last report. Wheat, indeed, seems little in want of rain; it is for the most part quite luxuriant, shews a fine ear, and is at present in full flower, and till the flowering is past, washing rains for that species of grain is much to be dreaded. Oats, however, are much in want of rain, as they begin to come in the ear on a rather stinted stock. The appearance of barley is middling, and would improve by a shower. The turnip fields in particular have an arid appearance, the seed was later than usual in being committed to the soil, and the Black fly has been very destructive, in many instances occasioning a second sowing. On dry soils potatoe stems begin to spindle, and shew a premature disposition to come in flower. Beans and pease have improved considerably since our last report. The weather has been uncommonly favourable for hay making, and the crop is in general weighty; on poor clays or thin soils, however, it may be observed, that no sort of crop will reach a common average, wheat excepted, while on rich black loams every species of crop is luxuriant.-Pasture, and the second cutting of clover, would improve much by a shower. Cattle have met with rather a dull sale at the midsummer markets, and the sale of grain for these two weeks past has not been quite so brisk as in June. Farm servants have been engaged on the same terms as last year. Water plants continue to come in flower about six days earlier than last season. Wheat came in the ear about five days later, perhaps from its lateness in being sown ; in the progress of other plants there has not been any difference through the month, so that turning up to the last year's report will render a table in the present Number unnecessary.

THE month of June was distinguished by rather more activity in the demand for West India produce than the preceding one.-Coffees have more particularly been affected by it, and prices have experienced a considerable degree of improvement, as well in our own markets as abroad; it appears that an actual diminution of stock, more than speculation by which an article only changes hands, has been the immediate consequence. The stocks in London have lately been greatly diminished, notwithstanding a large importation has taken place. At Liverpool, the stocks are lighter than at this period of the last two years; the stocks at that port, on the 1st January 1820, were estimated at 1260 tons; the imports to the 1st July were 1130 tons; the deliveries have been 930 tons for exportation, and 410 tons for home consumption, leaving the present stock 1050 tons. The stock in London of West India Coffee is 4120, being ten tons less than at this time last year; prices are about 7s. higher. The deliveries of Sugar for home consumption, in the last six months, are estimated at 86,000 casks, besides 2000 tons of East India Sugar; at Liverpool there remained on the 1st January 6400 hhds. and tierces, to which were added during the last six months 15,300. The sales during the same period have amounted to 18,100, leaving the quantities in first hands 3600 hhds. and tierces. Notwithstanding the almost total interruption in the imports of Cotton from the East Indies, the large supplies received from the United States have tended to keep prices down; the increase of imports from the United States, when compared with last year, being 77,000 bags and 28,500 from the Brazils, whilst 83,600 bags less were imported from the East Indies.

The deliveries for home consumption and Ireland have amounted there to 935 hhds. leaving the present stock 5400 hhds.
