SPORTING NOTES. No, CCCXIV. ANALYSIS OF THE CESAREWITCII EANDIC,'AP. (Concluded from No. 313.) lhall TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUE. orn,— proceed In continuation of my enalysis of this handicap, with TOM TAYLOR'S es n a re thenext most important lot. Ho has only two—the favourite, Lady Evelyn, and Babette. LADY EL IX, 6 yrs, Bst 61b, including 61b extra, for winning the tLeamingtonu Stakes, is at present the premier in the b ee r ket; made so by her running at Warwick. She has backed for a deal of money by the aristocracy, and 17i n tg in good condition, may run forward. Of her win h companion, I entertain very serious doubts. Her pinion, BABETTE, 3 yrs, sst 51b, will be com ii,j'Y overlooked for this event, as the Lady monope a all the attentions ot the stable.

The stable, I am given to Tstand, will be represented by the last - named, who tip excellent form at the present time; and having no realefte weight to carry, will, in my opinion, be one m horses in the race.

Under the title of " The British Exodus, or National ]Emigration Fund of the Hunter River Gold Mining Company," an association has been formed which pro poses to effect the following objects :—The capital is to consist of 126,0001., in shares of I/. ls. each. From time to time, as these are subscribed for, a public ballot is to take place until 4,000 free passages have been obtained, the certificates for the original guinea shares being ex changed after each ballot for a passage order. By this means, at 201. a head, 80,0001. is to be disposed of in the passage of emigrants, and the original capital of 126,0001. will by the same process be reduced to 46,0001. The trustees of the company are stated to be Lord _Erskine, Sir H. W. Barron, and A. Maclean, Esq., Tho solicitor is Mr. Joseph J. Cridland, of Chancery-lane. For sumo days it had been advertised that the first public ballot would take place yesterday, at twelve o'clock, at the 'Western Literary and Scientific Institu tion, Leicester square, and at the hour named there were 'about eighty persons assembled in the body of the theatre, and some dozen gentlemen on the platform, in front of which stood a largo glass ballot-box. No chairman was appointed by the meeting, but a few minutes past twelve Mr. Carpenter rose, and said they were met for the purpose of balloting for free passages to Australis, but since their last meeting on Monday, their solicitor had received from the Treasury the fol lowing letter:— " Solicitor's Office, Treasury, Sept. 21, 1852. " Sir,—The attention of her Majesty's Government having been drawn to a scheme, entitled ' The British Exodus, or National Emigration Fund of the Hunter River Gold Mining Company,' having for one of its objects the selection of 4,000 free passage orders to Australia by ballot, I am directed to inform you that rhe proposed ballot is illegal, and subjects those con cerned in it to prosecutions under the Aots of Parliament 112 tide for the suppression of lotteries. And I hereby give you notice that proceedings will be taken against 01) parties concerned in the scheme in question, if th e int ended ballot be permitted to take place.—l am, &c. (Signed) " N. R. REYNOLDS." Now, before the promoters had put out a single prospeo- Ms or advertisement, they had taken the opinion of tyro eminent solicitors, and also of an eminent counsel, as to the legality of the undertaking, and those gentle mon were of opinion that they could not be considered to fall within the operation of the Lottery Suppression Aot. On the receipt of the above letter a meeting of the bo atd was immediately called, at which the two solicitors were , present, and they had reconsidered their former opinion, and turned to certain cases reported in the book s. The result was, that the committee had not the s li g h test doubt as to the legality of their proceedings; but !acre they were under this interdict from the Trea sury, and they thought it right both with reference to their own interests and those of the shareholders to pro pose a postponement of the distribution of these free order s for a few days, pending their communications with the Government on the subject. The committee were most anxious to proceed with as little delay as pos sible, because the three vessels which had been adver tised 'were ready for the passengers; but, if they could not obtain the acquiescence of the Government, they would call together the shareholders not later than Tuesday next, when they would propound a plan which would secure precisely the same object, and in very much the Beane way as at present proposed. s.gleCarpenter'sremark, a a n d d d r the e s No Sono other meet ng at once dispers ed. applauseper a° n f a l i d o d w e e d d aMsirtl. ALLEGED MURDER OF A CHILD. Yesterday evening Mr. Langham, the deputy-coroner for Westminster, held au inquiry at the Feathers, Dean street, on view of the body of a newly-born male child, alleged to have been murdered by its mother. The in quiry 'was opened on a previous day, and a report of the pr o s appeared in this, journal on Tuesday last. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Heath, the surgeon, for whose post mortem examination the case was ad journed, that the death of the child was caused by in juries received in the throat, which caused an effusion of blood, trickling into the air passages, and bringing on suf focation. The injuries on the throat must have been the result of violence. its opinion was that some person bad thrust a finger down the infant's throat and caused extensive lacerations. The other evidence went to show that Jane Mann, a servant girl, concealed her condition from her nil:tress, who knew nothing about the birth of the child until she heard its faint screams in her (the mistress's) bedroom, to which she had di- rected her servant to retire, in consequence of apparent illness. It was further stated, and borne out by the surgeon, that there was the mark of a ligature round the neck, and that one of the witnesses had admitted having cut off a piece of tare which had been tied tightly about the child's neck. This piece of string could not be found, and Mrs. Cherry, the person who made the statement, was recalled, but her evidence threw no additional light upon the . matter. The coroner, in summ ing up, said that if the jury thought there was slit fletient evidence of the murder having been committed by the mother —of the murder by some person or other there could be no reasonable doubt—they would, of course, return a verdict to that effect; but they could fig i the mother, verdict ust After a lengthened their consideration m the not bean po epPn ly on jury returned a verdict to the effect ", That the child died from severe lacerations of the throat, but by whom those injuries were inflicted there wa s not sufficient evi dence to show." ------- From - Vienna, ante of the speculative excitement at , r llows a further no on the contrary, the rate of exchan -.

WArkntt, TnuasnAY.--To-clay, the guard of honour, consisting of a captain's guard of the depOt Ist battalion Rifle Brigade, appointed to watch over the remains of his Grace the late Duke of Wellington took up their station at the Castle. The state coffin arrived here last night, and the body was placed in it. The corpse bad previously lain in the leaden coffin, inside of which is the shell. This is, therefore, the third and last coffin in which the remains of the illustrious deceased will be de posited. The corpse being now finally encased, a black pall has been hung over the coffin. The floor of the chamber is completely covered with black, and the whole room is appropriately hung with mournful emblems. The utmost privacy is maintained with regard to the chamber containing the Duke's remains—no one being permitted to enter or even to take a glance at the interior. Now that the Castle is under military guardianship, Captain Watts, the captain of Weimer Castle, has taken up his quarters there. The directions issued to the sentries by the com manding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Beckwith, of the Rifle Brigade, are of the most stringent nature, and require that no persons, except the domestics, shall be admitted within the Castle - gates, excpt on production of an order signed by the captain of the guard. Instructions are also given, that if any persons are observed loitering about near the en trance, or other parts of the building, immediate intimation of the fact must be given to the same officer. The appearance which the Castle now presents, with the slow-pacing guards mounted, and the union jack half-mast high, is solemn and imposing. Two men are stationed at the entrance-gat_,e while the number constantly on sentry is seven. By the spe cial desire of Lord Charles Wellesley, a sentry has been posted at the Castle moat, and the ramparts are also guarded. A dark-coated rifleman, pacing the southern ram part, marks the place where the remains of the illus trious warrior now lie—namely, immediately in front of the chamber which his Gaace occupied. The troops appear fully sensible of the honourable charge com mitted to them. Many have been the applicants at the Castle to-day, eager to be admitted even to a view of the exterior of the Duke's apartment, but the orders to refuse them were strictly enforced. At 10 A.M., the present Duke of Wellington, ac companied by his brother, Lord Charles Wellesley, took their departure from Walmer Castle. It was originally their intention to leave on the previous day, but they postponed their journey until this morning, in order to be present at the last sad offices previous to the final interment of their reverred father. Their Lordships travelled by road to Dover, which place they left, by the first train after their arrival, for town—having taken this route in order to avoid any display of public feeling on the part of the inhabitants of the locality. Their suite left at the same time by way of Deal. The late Duke's horses and equipage were also removed to-day, for London or Strathfieldsaye. Al most the whole of his attendants have likewise quitted Weimer. A correspondent of the Dublin Evening Mail says : " Having enjoyed the rare privilege of being admitted into the domestic circle of the late Duke, it may not be uninteresting to mention a few brief reminiscences of that illustrious personage, which display points of character not generally known, and that seldom come under public observation. Instead of meeting an Iron Duke, such as be was commonly represented, nothing could be more attractive than the unaffected simplicity of his manner and the dignified ease of his deportment. In conversation he never evinced the slightest particle of assumption, and it was quite obvious that extreme modesty was his natural disposition. Sincere in his re ligious convictions, he was punctual to the minute at the stated hours of Divine service; and it was edifying to witness his unostentatious devotion amidst the rural con gregation of his own parish church. Remarkably fond of children, he delighted in visiting the admirable in fant school which he established at Strathfieldsaye, and was often affected almost to tears by the innocent hilarity of the little group by whom he was surrounded. " His household arrangements were conducted on a scale of suitable elegance; while, owing to his quiet and temperate habits, he never gave the servants the least u nn e cessary trouble, which made him beloved as a mas ter. In tho management of his extensive estates, the same sound sense, correct judgment, and practical wis dom appear as have marked his grand career. The vast sums he expended on building labourers cottages show the attention he bestowed on the wants and comforts of the working classes under his control. In fact, his whole property presented the aspect of a kind of model farm, and no defect escaped his vigilant eye. Nearly the whole proceeds of the rental were appropriated in improved cultivation, and in ameliorating the condition of the tenantry. His Grace's portion of the union did not supply a pauper to the district workhouse. A single instance will suffice to prove his humanity. One of his keepers was killed in an affray with poachers, who were arrested and convicted. He immediately ordered his well-stocked preserves to be thrown open, saying that he would not tikes his men to be murdered, and other people transported, for the sake of a parcel of birds and some paltry game. The sufferings of the Irish poor during the famine period engaged his deepest sympathies, and he exprea.ed himself with the tatwest warmth and feeling on the subject of the savings-bank failures, considering these deposits of hardly-acquired earnings as a sacred trust, to be repaid, without refe rence to legal technicalities, on the implied faith of an ' obligation. He seldom took the pains of myna e , • con tradicting any calumny with regard to himself, or to re fute any aspersions on his fair fame, however destitute of truth. Among these may be reckoned thefa v is a e s r p e r p o o u r d t that he denied the place of his nativit y , and repudiated the land of his birth. No stat ement can be more utterly u nfounded or untenable. On t he contrary, he of Ireland, bestowed the deserved praise on those noble qualities with which her sons are distinguished, but was grieved and wounded to see that warm-hearted people misled and misdirected by senseless tirades against everything English—fostering national animosities and engendering sectarian strife. He certainly was impressed with the idea that he was disliked by his own country men, 'but could not account for the unmerited prejudice that prevailed. It is to be hoped that this misconception will now cease, and that we shall render a just tribute to the statesman, soldier, and citizen, who earned an im perishable and unsullied reputation, and left a brilliant example, which cannot fail in exercising a salutary in fluence both on the present age and on generations yet to come. " He often re marked that the secret of success la in embracing every opportunity of being useful; and y that he never forgot the golden rule which he early learned in the Church Catechism---‘ Of doing your duty in that state of life to which it shall please God to call you."' The LATE DUKE of WELLINGTON. MOURNING FOR THE ARMY.-GENERAL ORDERS. Horse Guards, Sept. 22,_1852. The Adjutant-General has received her Majesty's most gracious commands to issue the following gene ral orders to the army :- 1. The Queen feels assured that the army will par ticipate in the deep grief with which her Majesty h as received the intelligence of the irreparable loss sustained by herself and by the country, in the sudden death of Field Marshal the Duke of Wel lington. In him her Majesty has to deplore a firm supporter of her throne, a faithful, wise, and devoted councillor, and a valued and honoured friend. In him the army will lament the loss of a com mander-in-chief unequalled for the brilliancy, the magnitude, and the success of his military achieve ments ; but hardly less distinguished for the indefa tigable and earnest zeal with which, in time of peace, be laboured to maintain the efficiency and promote the interests of that army which he had often led to victory. The discipline which he exacted from others, as the main foundation of the military character, he sternly imposed upon himself, and the Queen desires to im press upon the army, that the greatest commander whom England ever saw has left an example for the imitation of every soldier, in taking as his guiding principle in every relation of life an energetic and unhesitating obedience to the call of duty. It is her Majesty's command that this general order shall be inserted in the order books, and read at the head of every regiment in her Majesty's service. 2. The Queen does not require that the officers of the army should wear any other mourning with their uniforms, on the present melancholy occasion, than black crape over the ornamental part of the cap or hat—the sword-knot—and on the left arm—with the following exceptions, viz.:— Officers on duty are to wear black gloves, black crape over the ornamental part of the cap or hat, the sword-knot, and on the left arm, the sash covered with black crape, and a black crape scarf over the right shoulder. The drums of regiments are to be covered with black, and black crape is to be hung from the pike of the colour-staff of infantry, and from the standard -staff and trumpets of cavalry. 3. The Queen has been most graciously pleased, under the present afflicting circumstances, ,. to direct that Lieutenant-General Viscount Harninge, shall be placed on the staff of her Majesty's army, and that all matters respecting her Majesty's military ser vice, which have heretofore been transacted by his Grace the late Commander-in-Chief, shall henceforth be performed by Lieutenant-General Viscount Har diuge, G.C.B. By her Majesty's command, G. BROWN, Adjutant-General. FREEBOOTERS DEFEATED.—The men of the pre ventive station at Mudeford were occupied on Saturday morning; last in the agreeable task of saving upwards of 140 tubs of brandy which had during the night drifted from their moorings, and were eventually brought safely to anchor under the care of her Majesty's revenue officers, undoubtedly much to the disappointment of those who had made each a dAngereug deposit near par §lipre*,...AQlC THE LAST HOURS OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. (From the Medical Times and Gazette, S t pt. 25.) Public nterost has been so much excited on every matter connected with the great Duke, that although we have been obliged to omit our usual communications from the present number, we feel that we should not bo justified in withholding that of Mr. Ilnika. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MEDICAL TIMES AND GAZETTE. 155, Lower-street, Deal, Sept. 51, 1852. Sir,—l enclose you an account of the detth of the Duke of Wellington for insertion in the Mdical Times and Gazette, should you deem it sufficiently interesting to the readers of your widely circulated journal. I am, Sir, &c., J. w. " TUESDAY, SEPT. 14 .—Aboat half-past e ight this morning my father received a no t e f rom Wain,er Castle, stating that the Duke of W e lli ngton w ished to see him. lie immediately went t o t h e C ast l e . liis Grace complained of uneasiness about th e c h es t and stomach; was then perfectly conscious, and answered questions put to him with correctness. Some medicine was or dered, and during its prep a r a ti on hi s G race took some tea and toast. Shortly afte r l eav i ng t h e Castle, my father received another comm un i cat i on, stat ing that his Grace was much worse; he h a d h a d fi ts s i m ilar to those ho was subject to. My fath er an d I wont directly, and found his Grace in bed, unconscious; eyes little upwards, fixed; pupils of em dium size; skin warm and moist; respiration very laborious, from accumula tion of mucus in air tubes. 13 e l ore our arr i va l his valet had applied a mustard poulti ce to his chest, as on a former occasion this hud given re li e f . turned a " Dr. M'Arthur soon arrived, and Drs. llama and Fer gusson were telegraphed for. _... _ . a Dr. M'Arthur advised a mustard emetic to be given, having prescribed one with advantage for the Duke seve ral years ago under similar circumstances. This and other measures were now of no avail. His Grace became very restless, tried to turn oil his left side; occasionally there were slight twitchings of the left arm. W hen was much more free, and viacehimin an easy c h a i r , when his respiration became much less embarrassed; his p ulse thisrai raised d in uc b ed ed us, his to o breathing sank, his Grace was now placed mo re h orizonta lly; the pulse rallied for a little time, and th en gra d ua lly de clined; the breathing became more feeble; and, a t twenty five minutes past three o'clock P.st, his Grace breathed his last. So easy and gentle was the tr ans i t i on , that for the moment it was doubted. A mirro r was h e ld before his Grace's mouth; its brightness was un di m med, and he was no more. _ ___ "JOHN WHITAREH rillti"." THE DUKE and his FAVOURITE CHARGER. The following facts relative to the celebrated " Copen hagen" are gathered from a recent number of the Sporting Magazine. Copenhagen derived his name from the city in which he was Coaled, hi s d am h av i n g been taken out there in the expedition of 1807, by the late Field-Marshal Grosvenor. The horse, we are told, was not only thorough-bred, but had also a very illus trious pedigree, being on his father's side a grandson of the celebrated Eclipse, and on his mother's of a well known horse of his day, John Bull. Copenhagen did not remain long in General Grosvenor's hands, but was sold by him to the Marquis of Londonderry, then adju tant-general to the Peninsular army, who sent him with other horses to Lisbon in 1813. Whil e there he was selected and bought, with another h orse, by Colonel Charles Wood, at the price of 400 guineas, for his Grace the Duke of Wellington, with whom h e soon b ecame an especial favourite. The writer of the article states that at Vimiera and Waterloo the Duke used no other horse. The mention of Vimiera, however, is obviously a mis take for Vittoria, the former action having taken place in 1808, long before the horse landed i n Portugal, whereas the latter was fought in 1813, the year he was imn th gl e an G d r . eat O C n ap t t h a t in had . ridden memorable day of pWaterloo,orted fromth ough E indeed,erel he was always Copen hagen for 18 hours, the hors e . gav e . little signs of being y beaten; for on the Duke's patting ha m on the quarter as he dismounted after the battle , the animal struck out as a cantor in the remarkable. However hard the day, playfully ly F ears iendurance been ntaking fatigue, refused his corn, though he would often eat it while lying down—an unusual manner with horses. For many years Copenhagen was one of the . most interestin g s i g ht s at Strathfieldsaye, on which domain he wa s pens i one d off, and where he at length died in honourable old age. The Duke rarely omitted to visit him, and the ladies of the family made of him an especial pet. And he deserved to be so, for " old Copenhagen" had one of the surest and best characteristics of true courage —an extremely good and docile temper. He liked lasing noticed, and kissed hands and ate apples with all possible grace. Copenhagen, whose colour was a full rich chestnut, was a small horse, standing little more than fifteen hands high, but he possessed great muscular power. His general appearance denoted his Arabian blood. Though not much suited, from his size, for crossing the country, it is stated that the Duke did occasionally ride him to hounds. COURT CIRCULAR.

The statement furnished on Wed ncedny with regard to the production of gold at Momet Alexander mines, in the colony of Victoria, is sufficient to account for the non-arrival of vessels from that quarter, although, as some which were known to have sailed before the date of the last advices have not yet been reported, it is probable that adverse winds have also caused delay. When it appears that the amounts brought in to be sent by escort to Melbourne for the weeks ending re spectively the 11th, 18th, and 25th of June were 80,000, 91,000, and 105,000 ounces, making an average of 92,000 ounces per week, or about 370,0001. sterling, it may b e supposed t h at the attraction must be such as almost to preclude the possibility of crews being retained byany precautio i n t s h , however stringent. A strik ing fact in connexi on w that the yield appears to have the present information is, increased with enormous rapidity week by we e k, so that conjec ture, unless some sudden and unlooked-for check should be experienced, what will be the limit of the supply when the number of of aho s adventurersrt time not shall be swollen, as it will be in the course by the emigrants daily arrivingcolonies only from Eu rope, but also from the adjoiningand even from Canada and the United States, indeed, th e totals now given appear so astounding, h they do, from the Mount Alexander m i s ne o s wing a l ob :, as , extract rate of production little short of 20,000;0 0 a nnum, that they suggest the possibility o f so In r i ''' some take in the figures, and as they rest upon an r; from a single letter, they may, perhaps, be accepted with some reserve. All the collateral inform a ti on at at hand, however, tends to confirm the probabilit y of their correctness. The communications from Sydne y m e ntion the increase of excitement which had bee n caused there by the last arrivals from Victoria, and the fresh impulse which had been given to the gene ral population of New South Wales to desert their own mines, in order to share the more extraordinary wealth of their neighbours. It will also be seen, by a reference to the accounts received in London from Victoria on the 31st of August last, that the gold in trusted to the escort for the week ending the 28th of May was larger than had ever before been known, the total being nearly 38,000 ounces, and the suppo sition is consequently strengthened that with the advance of the rainy season and the augmentation in the supply of water the gatherings would in crease in an unprecedented ratio. At the same time, the fact of our having had information of the sums brought in up to the -28th of May leaves only the week ending Jane 4 to be accounted for, and we are consequently precluded from an explanation that might otherwise be offered of the largeness of the present totals, by assuming that they consisted of the accumulations of several previous weeks, kept back by the badness of the roads or other causes. Under these circumstances the next advices will be looked for with the greatest interest, and if they should establish the circumstances now mentioned, they will produce amongst merchants and ship. owners a stronger impression than anything that has yet been communicated. It must be borne in mind that hitherto the amounts brought by escort have by no means represented the whole earnings of the miners, the estimate being that at least a third of their gains are retained or sent to town by private hands. In contemplating the riches of the country, we must also recollect that although the New South Wales mines are likely to be neglected, owing to the want of population caused by the drain to Mount Alexander, the last intelligence regarding them was very favourable, and that they appear to offer an unlimited field whenever the increase of com petition resulting from immigration shall lead the colonists to consider moderate earnings to be worth looking after. It is difficult, however, to form an opinion as to when that period may arrive. Hitherto it has been supposed that the labours at Mount Alex ander could be carried on with great success only during the winter season, but if its deposits should with any degree of Fermanency offer the rewards now presented, there can be little doubt that before the next dry season methods of irrigation will be devised, whatever may be the outlay required for them, and that hence the receipts from that singular locality will be more or less continuous. With reference to the statement received by the overland mail of the production of gold at the Mount Alexander mines, in the colony of Victoria, the fol lowing is an etract of another private letter, addressed to a mercantile firm in London, which tends to cor roborate the probability of its ne accuracy. date The news was obviously current at Sydney at the of these communications, and there would consequently now be no reason to hesitate in regarding it as certain but for the possibility that it may have been fabricated by some of the passengers of the Shamrock, by which vessel it was brought to that port : EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER DATED SYDNEY, JUNE 29,1852. " The Shamrock is just in. It is reported 95,000 oz. of gold arrived in Melbourne the week the Shamrock sailed, 85,000 the previous week; and no less then 105,000 were expected the week following?' The subjoined additional paragraph from the letter originally quoted likewise indicates that even at Syd ney the difficulty of getting crews had greatly in creased, while it also mentions that a considerable quantity of the Mount Alexander gold had just been received :- - The departure,' for London this month oro—tbn Ganger,, on the 13th; the Maitland, on the 26th; and the San Francisco, on the 27th. There are several vessels ready for sea, but the difficulty of obtaining seamen prevents their getting away. Even 101. per month will not tempt them to go to London, and the Gleabervie and Neptune have scarcely a hand on board. The Shamrock, from Melbourne, had brought 10,000 ounces of gold on freight, and about an equal amount in private hands. These large quantities do not affect the price, as at Sydney Vs. is freely given, and at Melbourne 63a. 9d. " —Times. HOP IN I ELLIGENCE. MAIDSTONE.—Our hop reports are now drawing to a close, as the Borough w ill now supply the best guide to those who are interested in the subject. We shall no doubt pay a large duty, but as we have often said, many of the hops will be inferior, the mould prevailing in some districts more than the planters like to con fess. The growth of choice hops will not be large, and those who have picked mouldy ones will find trouble in selling them. The weather retards the picking, and has affected the hop as well as the other plants. We are happy to add that at present we hear of but little illness amongst the pickers. EAST FARLEIGH.—The hops in this district are a very heavy crop and require to be got down as soon rs possible. Fortunately there are plenty of pickers —upwards of 3,000 being employed. Should the weather prove fine, one of our largest growers is ex pected to finish this week. The general hopping will last about a fortnight longer. RTE.—The hop picking has commenced in this lo cality, and in a few days will become general. Should the weather prove favourable, there will be an abundant growth. TICEIIIIRST.—The hop picking is now in full ope ration, and we find them come down quite to our ex pectation as regards quantity. On inquiry we find that about seventy bushels are required for the cwt. CANTERBURY.—Picking has been carried on with great activity in the past week—enough hands not being obtainable for the growers who were anxious to avail themselves of the fine weather, and get in their growth in as good condition as possible, it being evident that many of the grounds were fast going off. Wednesday was a very unfavourable day—wet and cold. The produce, as yet, has fully come up to ex pectations; and the duty is still laid at 250,0001. SIISSEX.—The reports are generally favourable. Picking is going on rapidly, but in some parts has been much impeded by the heavy rains. The yield will equal the average, and though doubts and fears reach us from some quarters, the majority of ac counts are hopeful, and a heavy duty is still antici pated. SEVENOAKS.—Picking has commenced generally in this neighbourhood. The most sanguine ex pectations of planters will be fully realised, both in the quantity and quality of the crop. There has not been for years a finer or more productive hop season. ASHFORD.—We shall have a heavy crop; the crops 1 1 look extremely well—no mould to speak of. WATERINGBUBY.—The picking has become ge neral, and we have an excellent crop, and shall pay a heavy duty—some say 245,0001. There is a little mould. YALDING.—We are taking full advantage of the fine weather, and are proceeding very fast with the picking. We have not much to complain of in the shape of mould. FARNHAM—The picking has become general here, and hops are coming down as well as we expected. Some planters are getting 15 cwt. to 1 ton an acre. EAST SIITTON.—Our hops are going on exceedingly well (never better) ; picking is prett y general, and the quality is good ; duty 235,0001. MALLING.—We are proceeding very fast with our picking, but the mould has spread ; there will, how ever, be a heavy crop ; duty 230,0001. BARMING.—Onr picking has commenced, an d our hops are remarkably good; there will be a h i g h duty, say 240,0001. _ __ _7--------- - FOREIGN baskets of f • FRUITS.-The large number of 4,335 , brought been g r h u t its of the various kinds now in season, have i ) Y a steamer from Havre, the growth of k ranee.

SUSPECTED SUICIDE IN TOE TIIAMES.—OR Mon forwarded to Mr. Cartta r, coroner for day information was West Ke n t, o f the diso)very o f the body of a man in the 1 about 30 River Thames, off Greenwich. The deceased is . years of age, 5 feet 7% inches high, and rather stout. He was attired in a pair of aid cord trousers, sleeve vest, white shirt, and lace-up boots, and has the appearance of a brick layer's labourer. The body now lies at the dead }louse, Greenwich, to await the 'C'" °lll363 iliquiry. 1852, NORVVICII MUSICAL FESTIVAL. THURSDAY, SEPT. 23.—The selection which the committee had made for last evening's enicrtainment, from the works of classical and popular composers, was so well appreciated, that the body cf the hall and the patrons' gallery were well filled, and the side galleries did not present so cold and cheerless an aspect as had been feared. Beethoven's Sinfonia Pastorale, with which the concert opened, was received with rapturous delight, the conclusion of every movement being seized by the audience as an opportunity for applauding the magnificent band, whose execution was charaterised by remarkable precision. From the interest evinced it was clearly evident that there were very few per sons in the ball who were unable to recognise the numerous beauties of the composition. Spohr's duet from Faust, "Fo dem Fre unde," was sung by Madame Viardot Garcia; on& Cimarosa's bountiful scena from Ii Sacri licio &Abram° by Madame Fioreniini, who ap peared here for the first time, amid a burst of applause. Signor Gardoni sung the aria from Mozart's 11 Flauto " Oh ! cara immagine ;" and Mr. Sims Reeves the air " Soft airs around me play," from Weber's Euryanthe. A concertaute (by .Maurer) for four violins, with orchestral accompe.ni inents, by Messrs. Swinton, Blagrove, Day, and Cooper, was loudly applauded. Tne vocaliztion of Rossini's aria, " Nacqui affanno eal pianto," by Madame Viardot Garcia, was a triumph. Mozarts's " Possenti Numi," by Herr. Formes, concluded the first part of the evening's entertainment.

The work includes forty. seve uding with _ II separate pieces of music, the larger proporti o n of W hi ch are chorusses. Throughout the work there is no evolu tion of any dramatic story, no portraitur es o f cha racter, but there are frequent expressions of pr o f ou n national grief and of triumphant joy. The oratorio had the advantage of performance by vocalists of a higher class than commonly appear at concerts, and a chorus renowned for its exact execu tion of difficult music ; and, although a first represen tation is no sure test of success, it must be said to have been well received. At its close there was ge neral and prolonged cheering—very unusual after the performance of an oratorio, NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE.

We appeal to the benevolent and liberal : to those exalted souls with deep pockets that, despising the wretched distinctions between man and man by Mam mon and no Mammon, would rescue the unfortunate. The case is simple, pathetic, but of daily occurrence. Here it is in brief: the penny lines of the reporter put into a little silver sixpence. A young woman, named Jane Tanner—" a delicate looking young person, whose face was shockingly dis figured"—is unwillingly brought by her mother to Worship-street, to charge her false lover— (impulsive creature!)—William Holloway, with an assault. On a recent occasion he had knocked out two of her teeth; but she had forgiven him that—he had expressed such sorrow for the untoward event. On Tuesday, however, he came to her, and at once asked her for money. " She told him that she bad not then a penny, when he flew into a violent passion, and dealt her such a violent blow in the face, that she became partially stunned, and both her eyes were swollen and contused as they now appeared." She endeavoured to escape; he then felled her to the earth, and—(his poor victim was about to become a mother!)—" continued beating and kicking her about the body till there was scarcely a part of her person that was not covered with bruises." Well, the betrayed, outraged Jane Tanner would not prosecute at the ses sions. " Oh, no, sir"—she said, and the words ought to have gone like knives into WilliamHoalwloawy7l— don't“ ho o h r inig highest t ftilt two a sir, I can't prosecute him; let him go wish him to be punished." Whereupon Holloway is fined "th e iv o therefor© took a t ainu n of penalty" the law allows, namely 5 months' imprisonment.

Parsons, one of the Humane Society's men, beard the noise, but could not see where the sound came from, as the bridge intervened; but as the cry was repeated, several boats went to the spot, and in about ten minutes Wincoate, one of the Society's men, succeeded in getting the body out, and he immediately rowed up to the Humane Society's house, where every effort was made to restore ani mation, but without effect. RE•PAVING OXFORD-STREET. The extensive works necessary for the repairing of this important thorough fare are proceeding rapidly towards completion, the portion between Orchard and Portman-streets havinglbeen completed and re-opened, as well as the lower portion of th e street. The repairs are to be continued up to the marble arch, and the old macadamised road along the whole distance will be then replaced by granite blockstof a:substanti a l and durable character, and more in keeping with the requi rements of this great thoroughfare, which is now become one of the most i n addition to the previous great traffic of every extensive and important routes for public ve hi c l es in t h e metropolis, kind in this fashionable and populous part of th e town. 1t !' is expected that the thoroughfare will shortly b e r e-opened , as willt bhee a great works advancing on ar c efas ve t n9nc to tow ards completion, whi ch the immense traffic w hich 15 now obliged to take a circuitous route of the adjacent areas to their destination. „ CREMORNE BAL MA SATE. : • The public gardens of the metropolis, nft that Ua flowers and the sunshine are about to kayo .thete, are putting forth their autumnal attractions &the shape of gaily-lighted salons, tempting suppew and ..in spiriting fun and r eve l ry of hal masques.

The costumes were numerous, varied, and in many instances well sustained, and there was the usual admixture of soldiers a nd sailors, Ethiopian serenaders, ballet and flower girls . , Greeks, Turks, debardeurs, sportsmen, jockeys and clowns, 1 with a liberal sprinkling of costumes d'occasion, mean inr, anything or nothing, and more fa nail and effective than significant or intelligible.

The mulical arrangements were under the direction of the cele brated Bosisio; and the refreshments, to which at ,an advanced hour of the night the visitors appeared w ell disposed to do the most ample justice, were supplied with a profusion and liberality which left nothing to be desired. The novel entertainment of last night waif for the benefit of Mr. Simpson, and must have proved' a bumper. IROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

The New York Courier describes a newly-invented revolver and self-loading rifle made by Colonel P. W. Porter, of Tennessee, and said to be capable of dis charging fifty loads in a minute and a half. The rifle is a little over the ordinary weight, and, although a revolver, can be used as a single gun, the revolving agent being the guard of the gun instead of the ham mer, as in other revolvers. The guard, after revolving the cylinder, returns to its place, and firmly fastens by means of a spring in the stock. The cylinder, which is perforated with nine chambers on the exterior rim, turns in the breech, presenting in rapid succession each loaded cham ber to the barrel for discharge. The part that comes directly in contact with the barrel is protected, first by the cylinder pressing firmly against it, and next by springing plates which catch and turn off any fire that might possibly escape through the junction. The ordinary trigger is used, and the rifle is dis charged by percussion caps, and primes itself by an arrangement which presents it;!elf to the hammer in Thp, caps are placed in a rim. and the hammer is on the side of the gun. The nine chambers mentioned above being discharged, another cylinder, which may be kept in the pockets of the person using the gum, may be inserted in place of the one deprived of its contents, without a loss of mere than three or four seconds, and nine additional discharges made in suc cession. Then, by placing over the top of the cylinder a flask which contains both powder and ball (or shot if necessary), the chambers are loaded by every re volution of the cylinder, so that the supply is only ex hausted when the flask is empty, and in this manner fifty discharges are made in the short space of a minute and a half. The flask or magazine over the cylinder is water-tight, and affords good protec tion to the works it covers. The rifle can be dis charged as long as the magazine containing the ammunition holds out, and by manufacturing a grin with proportionate arrangements, the magazine would consequently be larger and capable of containing fifty or one hundred charges. Shot can also be placed in the magazine, and would, by changing the barrel, which is often done, be equally available. By these means the newly-i nvente d gun w ill answer all the purposes of the fowling-piece, be sides having the advantag e over the latter o f dig' charging about forty ti mes a part is so arranged that the fire, instead of setting off the powder at the bottom of the char! ignites it on top, but under the ball, o ' lB i og burn ing all the powder inserted instead of destroyn . minute.

As a man was ploughing in a field he un covered the s keleton of an ancient warrior, at a depth of about t• Fo feet from the surface. The body had been buried in a con liolete armour of steel from head to foot, the remains of whicl i were on the skeleton, and by his side laid his swo rd e ,nd javelin. The wooden shaft of t he spear wasust, and the armour also crumbled to rust after a short exposure to the a ir. The only postion preserved is a s mall button-like ornamer it belonging to the cro wn of the helmet , and was of iron pla ,t ed with silver. The shape oohed sword, and the in.. dication of the form of the armour, l lead to the belief that the' body was that of some ancient Roman or Dane.
