THZ House of Lords and the Times are extremely angry with the Canadians. These people, we are told, utterly misunderstand their own position, and are earnestly bent upon their own annihilation. The Lords and our contemporary are satisfied that the Government at Washington intends to make' an attack upon Canada, and assuming this, they denounce the Canadians because they will not raise and equip more than 5,000 extra Militia. It is plain enough that if the American armies were to be turned against Canada the 12,000 regular troops and the 10,000 Militia would be utterly insufficient to offer any serious resistance. And if the Canadians really believed that any such danger were imminent they would be acting like traitors or like fools. The truth, however, is, that they have no fear of the sort. They do not believe that the Federal will turn against them, as Lord ELLENBOROUGH says, in the drunkenncia of victory, or to repair their losses in the moment of defeat. They are no doubt quite aware of the absurdity of opposing so small a force as twenty or thirty thou sand men to the armies of the United States, and therefore Lord ELLZHBOROUGH and his zealous commentator might have spared their eloquence. The views of the Canadians are not difficult to dis cover, and they are probably founded upon a very firm conviction of the absurd obstinacy, and what Lord Eustrsoaoutia might call the infatuation, of the Home Government. Long experience must have convinced the Cana dians that the aristocratic party is very strong in this country, and that it is ever on the watch to increase the army. The only possible way in which this increase can be maintained is by dis persing the troops all over the world, so that whilst the Staff is multiplied, the troops themselves may be kept out of the way. Whatever despatches the COLONIAL Marnerraa may write, the colonists know that the COLONIAL MINISTER consults the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF as to the num ber of troops required. As the latest illustration of the traditional routine, is appears that the Duke of Nawcurrut is now consulting the Duke of CAM BRIDGE on this very subject. It is easy to anticipate the advice of the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF; and it is equally easy to understand that the number of troops in the colonies is in no great danger of being dimi nished. The colonists know this, and act upon it, so that even if the danger of invasion were greater than it is, they would be madmen to spend their money upon supplying troops which are sure to be supplied to them in abundance. If, indeed, there is folly anywhere, it is in the policy of the COLONIAL MINISTER, and of the Parlia ment which sanctions that policy. If, instead of making commonplace speeches in Parliament or consulting the Horse Guards, the Duke of NEW CASTLE would apply his common sense to the ques tion, it would be settled in a quarter of an hour. Canada either isor is not in dangerof being attacked. If she is in danger, then the military preparations at present are an invitation to attack. The 12,000 British soldiers would be compelled to surrender, or would be annihilated. The result, therefore, of our present policy is that the British nat;on is taxed for the purpose of exposing to certain de struction 12,000 of the flower of the British army. It is ostentatiously admitted that these 12,000 men are of no possible use unless they are reinforced by other troops from this country and by a large number of local militia or volunteers. But it is also admitted that, in case of invasion, an army might be transported in a few weeks across the Atlantic, whilst it is at the same time allowed that the Militia could not be brought into the field until after the lapse of many mouths. Indeed it may be safely asserted that every soldier on the roll of the British army could be trans ferred to Canada long before the Canadians could organize anything like an efficient division. lf, therefore, there be any danger of invasion, the Duke of Nawcharms has done nothing to prevent the success of the attack. If, on the other hand, there is no danger of invasion, then it is needless to say that the maintenance of these 12,000 in Canada is mere wanton extravagance. They are not wanted for any purpose. They merely absorb the public taxes. At soy time this would be a serious matter, but at the present moment, when the necessity for economy is so urgent, such extra vagance is scandalous. It is idle for the COLONIAL MINISTER to regret the conduct of the Canadians. He has nothing to do with their conduct. It is not only idle, but it is mischievous for the Peers and the Times to attempt to abuse the Canadians, and toter them with ingratitude. The Canadians are perfectly entitled to adopt their own course, and they would show !themselves supremely unfit for the self-government which they claim if they were to allow themselves to be bullied into raising • large Militia. Their national independence is their national honour, and they must be assumed to be capable of appreciating its importance, and of being ready to defend it. It is not only unwise, but undignified in the statesmen and official journalists of this country to tell the colonists that they have no care for their national honour. The course for this country to adopt is clear. The COLONIAL MINISTER is quite entitled to draw his own conclusions from the facts before him. Even if he himself should be of opinion that there is some danger of an invasion, it is clear that the Canadians differ from him in this respect. It is not proposed that, in any event, the British army alone is to defend the Canadas. That army is meant to co-operate. The preparations made in the colony for such a contingency being so small as to make co-operation practically impossible, what is the course for the Home Government to pur sue t The whole of the troops ought to be with drawn, and that without delay. The Canadian Parliament and the Canadian people have had the fullest opportunity of considering the question. They must be assumed to understand their own affairs. They have probably very wisely de termined that a nominal number of Militia is sufficient for their purpose, and this determination ought to be considered final. To remonstrate against this resolution would only expose the COLONIAL MINIFIZR to a just rebuke. To enter into any negotiations or stipulations as to the comparative amount of force to be maintained on the side of the colony and on the aide of the mother country, would give rise to all sorts of em barrassment. To permit matters to remain on their present footing would not only be undignified in itself, but unjust to the taxpayers of this country, ,besides being in direct antagonism to the opinions of every rational man in the three kingdoms— certainly to every opinion expressed both within and without the walls of Parliament. Even an ex traordinary session of the Canadian Parliament, in order to reconsider the question, is undesirable. The simple and obvious course is to withdraw the whole of the British troops from our North American possessions before the winter sets in. be Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, JULY 21.

NEW YORK, JuLTI4, Damao. (Per Anglo-Saxon, by telegraph to Cape Rees sad from Londonderry.) An uneasy feeling generally prevails concerning military and political matters. A meeting of the members of Congress for the Border States has been held at Washington to con sider President Lincoln's emancipation scheme. The New York Evening Post says that the majo rity oppose the scheme and will decline to aooept the proposal. A large body of Confederates has captured Mur freesborougb, near Nashville, and taken one Federal regiment prisoners. It is supposed that they will attack Nashville. Mobile despatches say that the Confederates under Van Dorn have captured Baton Rouge, near New Orleans, and taken 1,500 Federal prisoners. Considerable excitement exists at Louisville, Kentucky. The Confederates are reported to be in force near Frankfort. 001411ERCL1L INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JULY 14, EVIIIINQ. Money easy. Gold further advanced. Exchange firm at 1284. Stocks heavy and lower.

The New York Tribune bays that the President returned to Washington last evening, after visit ing General M'Clellan's army. A letter from Fort Monroe says that he went to see for himself, and learn what changes, if any, were needed. The troops were well rested, and all going on satisfactorily. Another correspondent says that on the arrival of the President at Harrison's Landing, General M'Clellan, with several other generals, visited him on board, after which the President and the general held a private conference for half an hour. They then proceeded to visit the line of entrenchments. The President was welcomed with great enthusiasm. He was not satisfied with riding in front of the army, but dismounted, and ascended the ramparts in view of the enemy's picket. The President briefly addressed the soldiers. He said he had come to see for himself, and that he should go back satisfied. It was said that they had been whipped, but it was not so and never would be. He knew the men around him would prove equal to the task before them, and would never give up without going into Richmond. He declared his confidence in the army and its com mander. The party continued their route along the lines, and at nine o'clock in the evening returned to General MiClellan's head quarters. On the morning of the 9th, after a conference had been held at head quarters, the President started upon his return. The reinforcements under General Burnside bad passed up the James River. The New York Booting Post publishes a special despatch from Washington, Mating that the forth coming address of the Republican members of Con gress to the people will be in favour of most energetic action in prosecution of the war, and of using all means in our power against the rebellion and foreign intervention especially. SPAIN -AND ITALY. MADRID, JULY 21. The Correspondeneia Autograja of to-day lays : " It is not impossible that, under certain con ditions, and at a time not yet fixed, Spain might recognise the kingdom of Italy." RUSSIA AND AMERICA. The Paris correspotolcut of the Indepouianee says : France and England are not alone in wishing to inter pose their good officio between the belligerent parties in America. The Emperor of Russia has proposed to make, as a preliminary to any concerted action, a personal appeal to President Lincoln, in order to induce him to accept in prin ciple the negotiation of a compromise between the North and the South. If this negotiation were accepted it would have the effect of suspending any mediating action whatever, and intervention or mediation would only be undertaken in case the North should positively refuse to come to an under deeding directly with the South. The proposition of the cabinet of St. Petersburg wu communicated to the Foreign office by M. Brunnow during the stay which our Minister of Foreign Affairs made in London. It is announced that it has been accepted, but also that it has been decided that after the month of respite which it would give, England would no longer hesitate to bring about a collective media tion, in case the cabinet of the President of the American Union should reject the individual good offices of Russia. It ti in these terms that M. Thouvenel was charged to trans mit to Vichy the decision which I intimated three days ago had been arrived at by the British government. It appears from the Russian journals that the de structive fires which 'have spread such terror among the people are still numerous in the provinces. The Civil Governor of Tobolsk reports to the Mini ster of the Interior a fire that has destroyed in that city, 96 houses, a wooden church, the office of the administration of the commune, and the archives. Only the official papers for the last four years weresaved, and someof the churc4 ornaments. A second fire is reported from Klamenetz-Podolsk, that has destroyed several private houses, the police-office, the printing-office of the local govern ment, and the treasury. The catholic cathedral is also very much damaged. A third conflagration at Browary, in the district of Ostersk, has de stroyed 14 houses. The reports describe the origin of these fires as unknown. The Emperor has authorised the establishment of a bank for Finland. RUSSIA AND ITALY. A correspondent of the Independence at St. Petersburg states that at the request of Napoleon 111., Alexander H. has consented not only to re cognise Italy, but even to give a princess of his family in marriage to the heir of King Victor Emmanuel. Prince Humbert is named as the future husband of the young Princess Maria linnirnilienewa, daughter of the Grand Diabase Marie and of the lab Duke of Leuchtenbers. " Zxpect eastradistions—‘ buts," ifs,' " says the correspondent, " bat remain firm ; the event will justify you." "We may add," says the /tad pendance, " that our correspondent does not speak lightly, but is in a position to be well informed." The Opinione Nationale publishes the following, under the bead "Latest News :" It is stated that a frig►te, bearing the Ilipsnish flag, after having been seen in the Gulf of Naples, landed 203 men completely armed at Salerno, and that these men were in. tended to swell the ranks of the reaction. After baying entrenched themselves in a small village they fled to the mountains on learning that an Italian corps was advancing to attack them. A despatch from Naples says that some brigands have sent to General La ffiarmora in a basket the bead and hands of an officer of the national army, who was one of hie most intimate friends. POLAND. The St. Petersburg journals state that the man who fired at General Ludera haa been arrested, and that his name is Kobik Remicb. The operation which General Luders was obliged to undergo was of a moat painful nature, Dr. Lagenbeck having been obliged to cut away part of the jaw. The general has since felt leas pain, but his age (71) causes apprehensions to be still felt. JULY 22, 1862. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mom °us owN PARIS, MONDAY EVENTNO. It is confirmed that General Forey, with his staff, has left Paris for Cherbourg, to embark for Mexico. He will not go out in the Normandie with Admiral Jurien de Gravibre, but in the Turenne, which sails a few days later. Prince William of Baden accompanies the general in the quality of aide-de-camp. A letter from Orizaba in the Patrie states that on June 13 the rumours of an attack, noticed by General de Lorencez's de spatch in the Moniker, had frightened a great many families, who were in consequence about to leave the city, and to retire to Cordova. The French officers had endeavoured to calm their fears, and had assured them that if the Mexican army should bombard the city they should be warned in time and sent to Cordova under escort. A re connoissance, made on the 14th, ascertained that Juarez's army was making no preparations for the expected assault. There is news which entirely concords with probability that Juarez has given orders to General Zaragoza not to attack the French in their strong position at Orizaba. Contrary to other intelligence, the Prase says that Admiral de la Gravihre will not go out till eight or ten days after General Forey. The exact truth is purposely mystified, but it is plain that the expedition is hurried and will sail with all practicable speed. The Emperor has given an order to the venerable M. Ingres, the great painter and newly-created senator, for a fancy portrait of Julius Caesar, to be engraved and placed at the head of the historical work which his Majesty has been so long writing, and is now about to publish. We learn by telegraph that not General Cialdini, Baron Ricasoli, or any other personage hitherto on the Lapis, has been selected for the first Italian ambassador to St. Petersburg, but General Hector Gerbaix de Sonnaz—a name not recently before the public. He is a very old officer, and took a prominent part in the campaign of 1848. Whether Chiavone, one of the moat eminent brigand leaders in the south of Italy, whose many depredations have been encouraged directly by subventions from the desperate dethroned monarch, Francis IL, and indirectly by the occupation of Rome by Napoleon 111., is dead or not, has been a moot question in various continental journals for the last month. A correspondence from Rome, dated July 15, in the Temps of this evening, repeats as certainly true, " save in the case of un looked for, improbable, and almost impossible news to the contrary" (a very valuable form this of a saving clause as to a matter of fact), that Chiavone and two of his lieutenants were shot by a brother brigand, Tristany, after the form of a court-martial had been gone through. Chiavone, who had scarcely time allowed him to count his beads, died loudly cursing Gen. Ulloa, the man who calla himself Minis ter at War to the King of Naples. All this news was given substantially a long time ago, and I see nothing in the narrative of the Temps to counteract the presumption that it would by this time have been confirmed beyond all doubt, had it been true. The Bourse was without any noticeable feature whatever, and there is scarcely a fractional change in quotations. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) TUZSDAY, JULY 22, 8 A.S. B. IL IL D. &O.

Everything is abundant in this country, and the products of the live parts of the world may be gathered without any difficulty. In the woods around Orizaba are plenty of game and wild beasts. I killed two jaguars the other day. The streams, rivers, prairies, and savannahs are full of crocodiles and amphibious serpents.

The society likewise accepted the following trusts for the repair of churches at Draoot, near Wells, Somerset ; Barbourne, near Worcester ; Coavd Rivet, near Carmarthen ; St. Catharine Ventuor, Isla of Wight; Emsworth and Red Hill, near Havant, Hants. At this meeting a lar-er number of applications were re ceived than on any previous occasion since the establish ment of the society. They were no less than 49 in all, and the sum voted in aid of the many cases relieved by the committee was quite two-thirds the amount of the society's regular annual income. We have here a proof of the great increase of church restoration, if not of church building, throughout the country, and the urgent necessity of enlarged contributions toward the support of the institution. ORR NEW WAR IN CHINA. —We have IRILAOII tO be lieve (says the Globe of 'sat evening) that trustworthy advice' have been received, corroborating in the main the private telegram from Hong Kong, which announces that the English and French forces had met with a check from the Chinese rebels, and had been compelled to retire on Shanghai. It will be recollected that the allies had been employed in dislodging the rebels from various positions around that city, which they occupied to the interruption of trade. Up to the 18th of May, the latest date from which we have °Blasi despatches from the scene of operations, the allied forms had been uniformly successful. We now learn, however, that they met with a disaster, and were obliged to give no those positions from which they had driven the rebels, and fall back on Shanghai. There are rumours about to the effect that this has been accompanied by serious loss ; but of this there is no authentic information. Beyond the fact of a reverse, and a retreat to Shanghai, we have no infor mation ; and until the arrival of detailed accounts, it is idle to speculate upon the circumstances or manner in which theme untoward incidents occurred. The rifle meeting at Frankfort proceeds appa rently with much spirit, the political Arent continuing prominent. Little intelligence reaches us concerning the shooting (for which the weather is very unfavourablo), be yond the general fact that the Swiss, more successful than at Wimbledon, have carried off most of the earlier prizes. At the Great Hall Alpine roses are sold, which are brought in quantities from the Righi and the Finstersarhorn. A notice is stuck up urging the riflemen not to visit the neigh bouring hells of Homburg, Wiesbaden, and Wilhelmsbad. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha is extremely popular among the riflemen. He is greeted everywhere with enthu siasm, and festivals have been given in his honour. Every year a medal is struck at Rome commemo reties of some act of Papal power, on the occasion of the fete of St. Peter. This year the device is the Priest of the Apostles receiving alms from a man and woman, and the inscription on the reverse is :—" Petri inopiam Christiant stipe sustemant. Antique Pietas roomette. An. 1862." THE QUEEN AT WINDAOR CASTLE.—Her Majesty the Queen arrived at Windsor by special train, on the Great Western line, precisely at 30 minutes peat 1 o'clock ' , ester. day afternoon. Her Majesty was accompanied by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the other members of the royal family, and attended by the ladies and geutlemen of the court. Her Majesty bad on this occasion dispensed with her long black veil, in which she was shrouded on her former visit, and, although looking somewhat pale, ap- Wto be in the enjoyment of excellent health. Her d elty proceeded through the town to the castle, with the bliss d the carriage closely drawn down. The stay of the court at Balmoral will not exceed a month, when her lt c Se:ta will return to Windsor for • few days, and then i t to Germany. THE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE.—TUN BRIDGE Watts. MONDAY.—The ex-Queen of the French, Marie Amilie,having received a telegraphic mirage on the arrival of her grandsons, the Comte de Paris and the Comte de Chartres, to the effect that they would leave Cork for Lon don on Saturday morning, proceeded to the railway station at Tunbridge Wells, yesterday (Sunda)) morning, at 10 o'clocic, with her daughter-in-law, the Duchess de Montpensier, and her youthful family. The royal party waited the arrival of the young princes, who arrived, accompanied by the Doc de Nemours, Duc d'Aumale, Prince de doinville, and the Due de Mootpensier. The meeting was truly affecting. The young princes left by the 9.25 train this morning, in order to inspect the International Exhibition. KIRKCALDY BURGHS.—There are now in the field Mr. Roger Aytoun and Mr. Henderson, both in the liberal interest, and Lord Schomberg H. Kerr, brother of the Marquis of Lothia n , has published an address in the " liheral-cosservative interest. The nomination is ex pected to be fixed for to-morrow, and the pulling for Thom day next. ANCIENT CHINFAE PORCEI.LIN.—A very choice collection of ancient Chimes porcelain, enamels, sad car vings in jade, including specimens of extreme rarity and beauty, and all brought from the Summer Palace at Pekin be an officer, with other objects of art, was yestenky biought to the hammer by Messrs. Christie Menace, and Woods The whole realised upwards of 3,0001. In a sale of choice illustrated and other books, county histories, &c... which have during the last week passed under the hammer of Messrs. Puttick and Simpson, of Leicester-square, there recurred a volume of Theological Tracts, including two works from the presses of Caxton and Pynson, hitherto unknown to bibliographers. That muted by Caxton consisted of the Mike for Trandiguration Day, on ten leaves ; and that by Pynsoo, the Mlles for the suc ceeding day, oecumices 24 Mayes. An additional interest is attached to the book from the circumstance of its being the first printed io England for the service of the church. The volume was sold, after an active competition, for 2001. Its destination is believed to be the British Munn= ALLEGED MURDER AND ROBBERY BY TM liaiiiiri: A protracted investigation wax held at the Green Man Tavern, Holton Old Town, by Mr. John Humphrey., one of the Middlesex amours, at a late hour last night, r specting the death of Mr. Samuel Chapman, aged 70, the deacon of Ebenezer Chapel, Reeves-place, Hortoo, who was found robbed and insensible in the adjoining house. The case appeared to excite considerable interest in the neighbourhood where the deceased was well known. Mrs. Elisabeth Gardiner, 20, Union - st reet., Kingsland• reed, daughter of the deceased, mid—My father vas a r retired from business, and resided alone in 2: ll4' hous p l za j e joining the chapel. of which he was deacon. I saw hhn in geed health on last Sunday week. On the following (Nadu) evening I was sent for, and found him speechless and in a dawdled state, but quite sensible. After some time be placed his band around my throat as if to signify that his throat had been grasped. He was in the habit of keeping a policeman's staff under his pillow, and I mused it from its plea. When I found it afterwards there were stains of blood upon it. I asked him if it was a (nerd that he wanted to make me know about, and he intimated " no." I asked if the person belonged to the chapel, and he said " no," but placed his band to his throat. The Coroner—You understood that your father Lad been P by this Wienees—No. We perms did, at fleet. We asked him, and he said " yea." I irked him the pert day, and he said " leo," twice. As deacon of the chapel, he received the quarterly collections. He might have received some recently before his death, but Ido not warrant that. Whilst I 11118 there CO the Monday nigh t, three gentlemen whom I did not know took away drawer with the money in it just so it was. Hs died last Friday. The Oceener--What do you suppose was the cause of his death ? . . Withem—Natural causes. The Coroner—Have the goodness to explain why. Witnees—l have no mama to suppose otherwise. He was regularly attended, and • doctor was called in. My husband has not been unfortunate in business, he gave up business only in consequence of a month's illness. He gam up business recently and went into the employment of Mr. Stephens se a journeyman. We did not think the de eased well off hennas we knew what property be had. He had had two slight fits, one six years ago and one five mouths ago. Samuel Gardiner, a little boy, the sou of the last witness, said that he used to sleep with deceased and go out in the day time to get his errands. At half-past 12 he left demand in good health and went to his mother's. He returned at 6 o'clock. He wee away longer than usual, for he was getting • lot of messages for his mother. He believed she was at home all the time, but his father was out at work. He saw deceased put his heed to him mother's throat, and when she said " It must be • friend," deceased said it was no friend, and put his hand to her throat again. He seemed indignant. Two or three days Wore his death he had received some money from Messrs. Wallas. He kept his money in a purse, and he hod • vetch. Mrs. Lamherat said that when she was called is she saw deceased lying with his bead to the fender, and resting on • bible. The carpet was pulled up in two pleas& His mama was apparently very tight indeed. He seemed to clasp one of his pockets tight, as if to take care of it. Charles Ellerton, carpenter, said that he found 41. in • table-drawer in 's room. It belonged to the chapel. Witness did not see a pares of cisosmod's. Dr. C. Henley said that he was called to deceased as Monday, and found him quite sensible, but unable to articulate. He was not breathing like • person in apoplexy. There was a braid mark round his throat as if from compression of his neckkerchief, which be always wore remarkably lax, so as not to confine his throat. In consequence of what withers heard after wards, he inquired for the staff deceased was in the habit of keeping under his pillow. There were stains of blood upon it, and witness showed it to deceased. He grasped= seemed pleased at the blood stains, as if be was that he had inflicted some injury on some one that had triad to injure him. The carpet was much palled from under the fender, sod near the table there were marks as if a struggle had taken place. Witness was informed that the deceased's puree was gone. He appeared to defend his pocket, which was an action a person recently attacked would perform me. elmoicslly while partially conscious. The post-mortem exa mination showede blow on the side of the head externally. Internally there was blood effused on the temple, as if from a violent blow or fall. There was also extmvaastion on the left ventricle, and slight escape of blood, arising either from strangulation or a fall. The purse has not been die. covered. By the jury—The watch was banging up, and the pew. opener's calling out might have disturbed auyone before it could have been taken. The Coroner said that in so serious • case he should ad journ, to obtain further evidence before coming to a decision. The inquiry was accordingly adjourned. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. The weather during the past week has been broken, rough, and stormy, with heavy, reins and extremely boisterous winds, varied, bowever,with occasional sunshine. Notwithst►nding the unseasonable colder= of the wind at times, the temperature has gradually rum, and there have been one or two days of warm air and bright sun, the general tendency, on the whole, being in the direction of more rum mer-like weather than has lately been the case. On Monday the temperature wudecidedly high and the sun bright and hot. It is to be hoped that we are nearing a change, and that ge nuine summer heat may yet be in store. All accounts concur in speaking of warm weather as being the one thing needed. Reports vary as to the character and condition of the crops. but there seems to be a general concurrence in the opinion that on ordinary and ill-cultivated soils, the long continued ungenial weather has made Rad( seriously felt. (if the crops oe better lands, accounts are more satisfactory, but even on them the want of genial warmth is felt, and apprehensions WO freely expressed as to what will be the result, unless warm weather be speedily experienced. A. large coop of wheat is not anticipated, but a fair average growth is looked for should the weather prove warm, dry, and season able from this time forward through harvest. The hay making has been greatly impeded by the wet weather, but notwithstanding a good deal of progress has been made, and a large breadth has been carried in pretty fair condition, the high sad drying winds and occasiosial sunshine having been taken advantage of to the full. The accounts from the bop districts speak of continued cleanliness and healthy appearance, but all repeat the universal complaint of want of sun and warmer tempera tore. The heavy winds have done some damage to the bine, by battering it about and bruising it. On the whole, however, the reports from Sussex and Kent are promising, and with fine weather a fair crop may be hoped for. From Worcestershire and Herefordshire the accounts are by no means favourable. In those districts the plant has angered • good deal, and only • short growth is expected. In parts of Kest the "mould" is spoken of as having partially appeared. At this period of the season every indication of attack, of whatever kind, is anxiously w►tched, and as ill newr proverbially travels hat, the slightest rumour of injury to the hop plant spreads rapidly, and, it need scarcely be added, does Dot often lose by repetition. Prices appear to be birdliming. and inquiries for stock increasing. So far sa the ono* crop is concerned, Sussex seems to be doing her &era— Sesses Advertiser. ROYAL Socim ov Sr. ANN'.
