LEWES SHEEP Fala.—The September sheep fair was held on Friday, in a field opposite to the site of the new county gaol and sluth of the Brighton turnpike Told. The number of sheep penned exceeded 30,000; there was also a good sprinkle of lean neat stock and horses, and Sir. Thompson displayed a large collection of argricultural implements. The fair opened with a brink demand for all sorts of sheep, but at prices about twent)-tive per cent, less than last year. This was re jected by the flJelt-masters, who were prepared to make a lar,p, ( I, duction, but so great a sacrifice as that re quir,d could not be submitted to, and consequently the lair fltzged up to two o'clock, when some few sales were eff , cied- Mr. Hananton disposed of two lots of ewes to Lord Hastings and the Hon. C. C. C aven di s h for 345. A few lots of lambs were alsq i.olLl at 17s. and 18s. Alter dinner some other sales were mule at the following races:—Weather s from 265. to: 30 -.; ewes from 1/. to 1/. 14...; 1 Linbs from los. t) 25i., but there was a gene rally experienced wh•tt may be ealtel a dull and heavy sale, arising, from no want of buytrs, but from a seeming determination on thcir part to make no purchase, but at a irroatly roduc:7'd rate.

TINIES. —The struggle between the Board of - Health and the formidable phalanx of City guardians (some 80 or 90 strong) Whom they summoned before the Lord Mayor last Wednesday, to answer for neglect of sanitary orders, is virtually this—Shall the sanitary government of the country be fa- the future centre or.ocal ? Shall the management of the public health be confided to a single metropolitan board, constituted ad hoc, or remain, as heretofore, a branch ofordinary parochial administration ? The parochial party and their supporters protest against the cen . tralization of sanitary control, first, as an unconstitu tional encroachment on the " free-born Briton's indefeasible right of local self-government ;" and, secondly, as an "impertinent and unwarrantable interference" with the sanitary operations already adopted by the parish officers—operations which, it is vehemently affirmed, have anticipated by their promptitude, and surpassed in their success, the dila tory measures of the Board of Health. The parish party are wrong at b o th p o i n t s . Th e w h o l e force of reason and the whole weight of facts are against them, as we will endeavour to show. In the first place, the interests affscted by the jurisdiction to which they lay claim are not local, but collective. The management of burial-grounds, slaughter-houses, and manufactories leaving putrescent residua, con cerns the health, not merely of particular neigh bourhoods, but of whole cities, and of the entire kingdom. If the effluvia of St. Saviour's burial ground, for example, could be confined within the boundaries of St. Saviour's parish, so as to infect the air and the water of the recalcitrant rate-payers alone, they might perhaps fairly object to be hindered from cooking those necessary elements to their own taste—from working up their dead friends as an at mospheric condiment, and flavouring their water springs with infusion of mortality. So, again, if the Bermondsey cesspools and black tidal ditches stank only in Bermondsey nostrils, and fevered no other than Bermondsey blood, Bermondsey might perhaps have a right to choose whether its rates should be laid out in abating these evils, or saved up for subse quent expenditure on the widows and orphans of the cholera-smitten. In like manner the churchwardens of,St. Bride's or St. Olave's, if backed by their parish ioners, have possibly a right to put 5,000 corpses into as many leaden retorts, called coffins, and to distil these corpses, through tapholes bored in the lead for that purpose, into carbonic acid (the choke-damp of miners), sulphuretted and phosphuretted hydrogen (the rotten egg gases), and other effluvia of the same sort ; provided always they can show that these inevitable residua of the intramural burial trade fall exclusively to the share of those who enjoy the profits of the business. Every Briton is cock on his own dunghill, no doubt ; but on this indispensable condition—that his dunghill offend no one else's nose. It; then, it appear that the burial-traders poison their neighbours as well as themselves, and that parochial economists, to save themselves a sewer rate, saddle the whole community with a costly epidemic (costly, alas ! in more senses than one), it is clear that these sticklers for freedom practise the very despotism of which they complaim, and trespass on the rights ? f others while denouncing the infringement of their own ; and when, therefore, on looking in any school boy's chy m i ca l ca t ec hi sm to th e c h a pt e r on the diffu sion of gases, we find it a positive law of nature that each gas acts like a vacuum to the others, and that consequently the volatile poisons which issue from the leaden alembic, of each London graveyard radiate by an unresi,ted force of expansion throughout the whole metropolitan atmosphere, we arrive at a direct scientific refutation of the pretended local rights set up, and find parochial claims outweighed by collective rights of paramount importance. So much for the infringement of local rights and privileges imputed to the Board of Health. The charge is not merely untrue—it is the diametrical opposite of the truth. The accusers are themselves the culprits; and the Board of Health are but resist. ink, by the means which the law places at their dis• 1)+331, and with the general approbation of the com munity, the unjustifiable encroachments of parochial trespsac,:ers on the lives and liberties of the public at large. But the parish party join issue with the Cen tral Board on the practical question itself. " The measures," they say, " which we have taken to pre vent epidemics, or to meet them when they come, have been better than yours —more vigormis, more timely, more prudent, more efficacious, and, above all, less exeensive. You tell us to distribute monitory handbills; we have done it already. - You bid us ap• point house b house inspectors ; we have a sufficient medical staff as it is. You order us to empty our cesspeola, to close our gr aveyar d s, to fl us h our sewers, and to cleanse our alleys. All this, so far as we think it necessary awl practicable, we have dune, and we refuse, at your. bidding, to d more. The mor tality in our districts is not above a fair average, nor beyond what might b e reasona bl y expected during an epidemic. We are men of business, better acquainted tha:i you with the necessities of our own poor, and better qualified to provide for their relief. You, who pretend to be sanitary reformers, do in reality more harm then good. Your orders are as insolent in form as they are frivolous in substance. We repel your accusati w.s—we despise your censure— we deny your authority—and we set you at defiance. Do your worst." Such is the language of the parish party. Many simples of it have appeared in our columns in the shape of letters from the boards of guardians. Lei us make allowance for its not, perhaps, unnatural vehemence ; and try, by the test of facts, the alleged forecast, energy, and skill displayed by the parochial officers in their sanitary operations. In April, 1847, when an epidemic typhus broke out, and ravaged the country wi - h rapidly increasing violence, till at last, in the autumn, it produced for several weeks fourfold the ordinary mortality, what measures of sanitary reform were ad,Ved by the parish officers? What steps did they take to purge the air of those exhala tions vc filch are the recognised vehicle of typhoid poison ? When, in the eleven weeks from November 20, 1347, to February 5, 1848, there died in London upwards of 6,000 persons abave the aver.tee number —an excess greater than the entire mortality produced by pestilential cholera during the whole 21 weeks of its prevalence in 1832 —what were the sanitary opera tions of the parish officers? What lesson did they learn from this frightful mortality ? What steps did they take to secure us against its return ? When the influenza—that forecast shadow of pestilence. which preceded the black death in the fourtenth century, the great plague of London in the seven teenth, and the first terrible invasion of cholera in our own day—appeared with terrible significance two autumns since, and slew in a single month (Decetn b , r) 1,000 of the inhabitants of London, where were the vaunted energy and sanitary -kill of the parochial officers ? When, in the following spring, the Asiatic pestilence itself, following its sure precursor, came travelling rapidly towards us across the continent, pursuing its old track, haunting its old lairs —enter ing even, in many places, the very same houses which it attacked before—where were our parochial strategists ?—what scheme of operations did they plan while there was yet time to keep the destroyer from our shores, or to defeat and expel him when he came ? Tne parochial officers did nothing—abso lutely nothing-. They left the graveyards festering—the cesspools ssething—the barrels of blood steaming in the undergound shambles—the great mounds of scotch putrefying in the Bermondsey glue-yards. They left us all—the poor in his squalor, and the rich in his fancied security—to be. smitten unawares. And when at last it came, and the people were perishing by thousands, and the medical officer urged, month after month, on the parochial authorities that the plague could only be combated in the homes of the poor, by an organized army of preventive in spectors, w hat did the parochial authorities do ? They rejected the medical officer's counsel—they scouted his warnings—they even mutilated his reports; and only in the 15th week of a mortality unparalled for two centuries, did they consent to the nomination of the domiciliary inspectors —who, in their very first round, discovered the corpses of six persons deal without medical aid. Such has been the c induct of the men who claim to be entrusted with the sanitary government of the country. Do they deserve our confidence ? Shall we support them in their factious resistance to the lawful authority of the Board of Health ? "" LIST OP SCOTTISH COMPANIES' PRICES Dividend Amount el- Name of Company. per of I l raid. Price.

MAR TIN'S-IN THE-FIELDS.—These schools, intended to be built in Castle-street, under the superintendence of Mr. Wild, will have a frontage of 100 feet ; on the first floor this length, by 24 feet 6 inches, is divided into two school-rooms, one for 200 boys and the other for 200 girls ; on the ground-floor there is a school-room for 320 infants—thus making 720 children in all. The building will be faced with red brick; the arches and moulding to be rubbed and gauged; the columns and architrave of the gallery or playground, which extencli over the top of the whole, are of Caen stone. The style approximates to the Gothic of the north of Italy. The amount of the contract entered into by Messrs. Hawat d and Nixon is 2,4331. The doors are to ba of oak, pa nelled and are further to be ornamented with bronze studs. The sculpture over the doors is only proposed. From the height of the building and the width of the street, the roof cannot be seen, and, therefore, forms no part of the design.—Builder. AiFLICTING -ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday an inquest was held at Middleton, on the body of Mary nine years of age, daughter of a widow who, while -shy ing near a cos!-pit belonging to Messrs. Whitehead, Andrew and Co., the fly wheel or shafting caught-the clothes of the deceased, and she was injured in a shock ing manner about the arms and neck, so that she died the same night. Verdict, " Accidental death." She had a little child in her arms at the time her clothing caught the Shaft . , but she had the presence of mind to throw it on the ground, and it received no injury.— Manchester Spectator, Interested motives are the rails on which the car riages of soc'ety run smoothly and , securely, withoi l t clraing in roll sion or injuring each other.—Eliza Cook's gjourrul, No alteration in Barley.

WOOLWICH, SEPT. 25.—The Minx steam-vesse l fitted with a high- pressure engine ofJO horsepower, and her screw propeller abaft the rudder, wept down the river yesterday, on an experimental trial, under , the chaKge of Lieutenant Robertson, with Mr. Casey of captain Austin's branch of the steam department, and Mr. Taplin, of the factory department at Woolwich Dockyard. The Minx ran the measured mile tour times, and the average speed attained was about four and three quarter knots per hour, equal to the speed obtained when the screw-propeller was fitted in the dead wood of the stern, where the rudder is now placed. .The next trial of the Minx is to be made with a disc engine, but no material advantage appear s to be gained by having the propeller abaft the rudder, though it is ii 13;e to many objections, as it cannot in that position be, unshipped, and owing to its pr(4e°t iog,considerably below the bottom of the keel, it r gas the risk of being easily broken when the draught et water is basely sufficient for the vessel. It is also inapplicable to large vessels, as the flanges of the pro peller would extend several feet below the keel when revolving, and the weight of large screws give , a leverag4=:vvhen placed so far astern of the vessel that it would he difficult to support them. - The Inflexible steam- sloop, Commander Hoseason, is ordered to be paid off here on F r id a y nex t. A num ber Of the. crew of the Fisgard are employed at present upon her, upwards of 40 of her crew having been lei t at Portsmouth suffering from dysentery and other complaints incident to their return from a warm climate. Four men of the crew were taken to the Marine Hospital here to-day, two of them owing to lameness. The Terrible steam frigate, Captain Ramsey, is to be paid off on. Thursday, and will be again commis sioned almost imtm-diattly. -. The Bee lighter has been raised and taken along side the wharf wall, and the spare stores taken out of her. The labourers are now employed in pumping out the water while the tide is low, and she will soon be pat. to rights without much loss, the materials being got out uninjured. The Archer steam !..loop is to have her screw-proe peller reduced from 11 feet 6 inches, its present diameter, to 10 feet in diameter, and she will be again tried down the river in the latter part of the present or early in the ensuing week. - CHATHAM, SEPT. 25.—The Calypso, 20 guns, Captain Henry J.

The Hungarian crown, it is generally believed, Kossuth has taken with him in hi, flight; if so, it has for a second time crossed the frontiers of Turkey. The past history of this crown is a curious one, and as full of vicissitudes as the lives of some of those who have worn it. The Migvars attach a superti tious value to the relic of their ancient monarchy; there is a legend that it was wrought by the hands of angels for St. Stephan, who was crowned in it in 1001 ; history, with a more limited faith, records that it was sent as a present to Stephan by Pope Sylvester the Second. In 1072 Duke Geisa received from the Greek Emperor a golden circlet or royal band for his brow ; when he was afterwards made King of Hun gary, he joined this circlet to the diadem, so that the crown is really composed of two kingly emblems united. When the race of the Arpads became extinct, in 1301, there was a double election to the vacant throne ; one party chose Robert of Anjou and Naples, the other Wenzel, the younger, of Bohemia. The cause of the latter did not prosper, and his affairs were taking an unfortunate turn, when his father, Wenzel, King of Bohemia, marched an army to Ofen, and carried off his son and the crown with him to Prague. The Hungarians then definitively elected Otto of Bavaria, and old Wenzel, for reasons not stated, gave up the crown to him. Otto, to take posses. sion of his kingdom, had to ride incognito through Austria, carrying the crown as a "property" with him. It was packed in a little cask, and hung at the saddle-bow of a German Graf, who di s c overe d one morning at daybreak th a t he had lost his precious charge during the night. The party had then arrived at Fischerment, below Vienna, where they were about to cross the Donau; they retraced their steps, and, by great good luck, found cask and crown again. In 1307, Otto went to Siebenhurgen, on a visit to the IVaywode Ladislas, intending to win him over to his party. He must have failed signally in his at tempt, for the old IVaywode seized the crown, and made the king a prisoner. After some time, he saw fit to let Otto go, but kept firm possession of the diadem for three years. In 1310, on threats of war and extermination, he gave it up. For more than a century after this its history is a blank; but in 1439, on the death of the Emperor Albrecht IV., there was again a double election, the two rivals being Wladislaw, of Poland, and Ladislas, the infant son of Albrecht. The Empress resolved to have the child crowned, and f or t h at purpose the crown was stolen from the Castle of Wisse.;rad, by one of her maids of honour, who undertook the task, and succeeded. In 1441 the Empress made a less dignified use of it— she pledged it to the Emperor Frederick IV. for 2,000 gulden. It was redeemed b e f orvinus, and taken back t o Wissegrad; fromwhence,a ter the battle of Mohac, it w as aga i n stolen, and again by a woman, in order to crown John Zapolya. Zspolya gave it in The following is the speech delivered by M. D upin, the President of the Legislative Assembly, a few days since before the Agricultural Society of the arron dissement of Clancey in the Nievre, then assembled at Lorme " Gentlemen, and dear Fellow-citizens,—The meeting of last year opened under the most painful auspices. At that period, the scarcity of cash, the sudden extinc tion of credit, the cessation of labour, the decrease of the price of cattle, the revolutionary tax of the 45 centimes, all the misf xtunes of the time weighed on agriculture. Now the state of things has improved; the Government established by the Constitu tion works with regularity; confidence revives; the trade of your fairs has resumed its activity, and the President of the Republic, raised and supported by six millions of votes, receives from that popular election, which is your work, the .strength, as he derives from his personal character the firm will, to maintain order at the same time as liberty. All the interests of the land, of commerce, and of civil transac tions are placed under the protection of a magistracy, whose permanency, vainly threatened during the stormy days we have passed through, his just been newly con. secreted for the honour of justice, and the security of citizens. From all parts the public wishes call ter and seek stability. But, after so many vicissitudes, it i s more particularly useful to make mature reflections on the past. I appeal to the good sense of all, and of those in particular whose simplicity renders them more easy to be deceived, but whose natural goad Bath would bring them to the side of truth, when it is presented to them. Why were we in such distress last sear? Why are we better now? On what condition may our future state more improve? In this Agricultural Society of the Morvand, on this rough soil, confided to the culture of a bold and penevering people, for a long time shut up in the midst of woods, and but little ad vanced in the paths of civilization, in this chef-lieu of granite, I wish to speak openly and frankly, not for those who are the nearest to me on the platform, but for those who stand before us, to whom I say approach,' for those are the labourers whom I particularly wish to see nearest to me, and by whom I most desire to be well understood. Children of the Morvand, labourers, you who have preserved your religious principles, who still bend your kneels morning and evening to pray to the Creator, and who repeat in common those precepts of eternal wisdom. " Un seul Dieu to acloreras, Tes pere et mere hen Tens, Bien d'autrui to ne prendras," be assured, that whatever revolutions may take place there will always be two kinds of people. in the world: —the honest and the dishonest—the industrious and the idle—the economical and the spendthrift. If po litical commotions appear for an instant to confound all ; if there be critical moments in which the worst citizens appear to have the upper hand, events and their consequences soon throw light on the real state of things; chimeras give place to reality; every one's reputation becomes conformable to his actions, and that eternal order which God has wished in all things resumes its sovereign sway. As by the side of your bees you hear the buzzing of drones, who anxiously seek to devour the honey which they know not how to produce, so, in political agitations, you see audacious firebrands endeavour to take possession of every em ployment at the risk of losing what they are either in capable or unworthy of governing ; men who, ac cording to the energetic expression of a Minister of the Republic, are capable of nothing at the head of those who are capable of everything. You see a crowd of men ruined either by their fault or by their vices, and sometimes also compromised by their crimes, or already on the point of being so, who wish to recover themselves by disturbance, and to fish in the waters which they have themselves troubled.—(General marks of assent.) Throw your eyes around you : in every town, in every hamlet, observe those who are always the first to declaim against all kinds of autho rity; to cause assemblages, to form clubs, to spread alarming reports, to disseminate &Ise doctrines, to hold out foolish hopes, to calumniate the best citizens, and to excite, by every means, even the most atrocious and the most odious, to tho overthrow of society; and consider wheth tr there are not always and everywhere individuals whose ruin was certain, and who were, according to one of your familiar expressions, bien pies de leurs pteies;' or, to ;the the words of a great poet— ' lja tas d'hommes perdus de dettes et de crimes, Q se pressent de nos lois les ordres legitimes; Et qui, deiest iieaut do les plus ‘tviter, Si tout n'est renvene, ne saurasent subsister,' of people who, not having been able to gain or preserve a patrimony, would very willingly partake of that of their industrious and economical neighbours, without reflect ing that the latter would not be in a humour to allow themselves to be despoiled, but would vigorously defend themselves against robbery and spoliation. Such are the principal apostles of Communism ! Such are the men whom the new sectarians employ to propagate their doctrines ! doctrines which when well analysed are found to lead to the brutalising of the human race, by the destruction of all the conditions of liberty, honour, and morality, on which Providence has caused civil society to repose. And, nevertheless, it is by the aid of such auxiliaries and of such means that public peace has been disturbed, lebour interrupted, riots excited, and civil war lighted up! The workmen of the towns and of the country are induced to be lieve that a crowd of benefits would result for them from such a perturbation, whereas the only result is the complete ruin of some, the embarrassment of others, and the injury of all! I will here to call to your recollection what I said on the subject in the in troduction to a little work which I recently published on agricultural societies. I wish to address myself to your interest, and to lay it clearly before you. When once the rioters have succeeded in exciting civil war in Parise what are the results? The foreigners who had arrived from all the countries of Europe, to enjoy the pleasures and contemplate the wonders of our civi lization, hasten to quit, and the furnished hotels arid lodging-houses are deserted. The rich, those who are nut chained by any public function or duty to Paris, leave their hotels and give up their apartments, and go elsewhere to seek for the peace and security which are no longer to be had in the French capital. What then happens? Consumption diminishes, credit is restrained, the tradesman can no longer d spose of his goods, and work of every kind is interrupted. Such is the imme diate effect of disturbances in Paris upon Paris." M. Dupin then drew an animated picture of the effect produced upon the departments by the diminution of the demand for agricultural produce. Having done this, in a way admirably adapted to the intelligence of his hearers, he added : " Have your orators of the clubs and public- hoeses told you all this? No, they have taken good care not to do sr. Bat experience has taught it to you. Do not, then, I entr• ar, f treet the injury inflicted on you by the 6/wves of 1848, and which the genius of vil a' tempted to renew in 1845. 'II faut quo et la finisse,' said the President of the Republic with so much truth. It is time for the wicked to tremble, and the gaud to take confilence. • And sir co he suitl this the Gsver wnr-nt has precer-ded with vigour in that course, with the Nations Assembly and with the I t w es its etithrieity," charge to Preny, who delivered it up to Ferdinand I.; he was crowned with it in 1527, and then it fell into the hands of the Turks. As Solyman returned from the siege of Vienna, he publicly exhibited the crown to his army in Ofen, but told his soldiers that it was that of the renowned Persian ruler Nushiryan : he then sent it back to his protege Zapolya, on whose death it was again given up by his widow to the Emperor Ferdinand. Rudolph 11. sent the crown to Prague; Mathias 11. brought it back to Presburg, where, in 1619, it was seized by Bethlem Gabor; on the conclusion of the peace of Nikolsburger, he gave it up to Ferdinand 11. The Emperor Joseph had it brought to Vienna ; Leopold sent it again to Hungary, where it remained till the taking of Pesth by Win dischgratz, when it was removed by Kossuth, and has ever since been kept at the seat of the Hungarian Government; that being broken up and dispersed, the crown has resumed its wanderings. As to what has become of it there are many rumours; it is said to be buried in a secret place. According to others Kossuth has it in his personal possession, and by this time the diadem, that was the gift of a Pope to a saint, has been stripped of its jewels to go as bribes to the Mahommedan, and the go'd has terminated an almost sacred existence of eight centuries as ignominiously as a mere piece of stolen plate in the mating pot of a Jew !—Advertiser. HOP INTELLIGENCE EDENBRIDGE.—The hops in this parish and neigh. bourhood come down very short in quantity—about half a cwt. per acre, but the quality is first-rate. The growers anticipate a good price. HURSTGREEN —The hops come down short of what was expected before picking commenced, and require between 70 and 80 bushels to the cwt.—Maidstone Gazette of this day.

WHITEHALL, SEPT. 6. The Right Honourable Sir Thomas Wilde, Knt., Lord Chief Justice of her Majesty's Court. of Common Pleas at Westminster, has app intacl Henry Aralrewes Palmer, BOROUGH, SEPT. 24.—We have a good supply of the new growth of hops at market ; as yet they meet with a steady sale at the undermentioned currency:— New Kent Pockets .E 6 63. to £8 Bs. Ditto Goldings ... .. 9 Os. to 10 103. Ditto low and mouldy, unsaleable. Ditto Sussex Pockets .. 5 12s. to 7 7s. The picking is drawing to a close. Generally they come down half short of what they were laid at at the commencement. The duty is lowering; the pre sent estimate is from 80,0001. to 85,0001. MAIDSTONE.—The picking in this neighbourhood is nearly closed, and we have now an opportunity of ascertaining what the yield of the crop is likely to be. In nineteen cases out of twenty, the hops have come down short of expectation, varying from one-fourth to one-third short, and in some instances they have come down even half short. It is the general opinion here that the duty must come down considerably. To pay two• fifths of last year's duty (that is, about 84,0001.) there must be two-fifths of last year's crop some where. It certainly is not to be found in Kent. The Sussex planters are told that Kent will produce this, whilst the Kent men fear that it will be found in Sussex. Our accounts from all quarters agree that where there are hops they have fallen short. Many' grounds, which last year produced heavily, now pro duce none; few produce equal to last year's growth; and scarcely any are to be heard of which exceeds it. It must be recollected that the estimate which has thus failed to he realised, is not founded upon what the grounds produced last year, but on appearances of the grounds before picking.i, YALDING AND HUNTON.—This week will finish picking. Some fine samples will be obtained, but will come far short in quantity of what was at first anticipated. EAST DIALLING.—Most of the planters have done picking, and all will finish in a few days. What was anticipated last week is fully realised, for in many grounds they come down half, and in all quite one third short of the number of bushels that reasonable persons expected. The hops are good in colour and quality. BRENCHLEY.—Picking is now nearly brought to a close, and it is quite certain we shall not rediee 4 cwt. per acre, on an average. The quality is good. HORSMONDEN. —Our hops come very short of ex pectation, but some amend is made in quality, which is unusually fire. Our parish will produce many splendid samples. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT )—( 6 Wolf" has been cried sometimes in this pirisb, but there is no mistake this year, as the hops are all picked to about seven acres, averaging only a trifle over two.thirds what they were set at. Planters who have really fine choice samples, of any country, if they have nerve, will be sure to obtain good prices, there not being more than one-fourth of supply equal to the demand for that class of hops. GOUDEURST.—Our hops throughout the parish will come one-third short of expectation previous to their picking, and in point of quality they will be superior to any for several years past. The colour, almost without exception, is splendid. IGIITHAM AND SEAL. - Several planters have finished picking, but the general complaint is that they come very short, and some nearly half less than they were set at previous to picking. CRANDROOK.—Tine hops come down much short of expectation, with the exception of a few favourites, which have even exceeded their estimate. There seems to be a strong impression that the duty will be under 80,0001. So much difference of opinion, however, prevails that while some are against 70,0001., others are in favour of nearly 100,000/. ! The state of the hops seems to dory all calculation as regards the duty. ORPINGTON.—Joseph Jackson, Esq , has finished hop picking, his being the only ground in the perist which has been picked. The quantity is 161. lr. 15p off twenty acres, being a little over Dllbs. per acre. A few days before the commencement of picking, they were laid by experienced gentlemen at from two to three tons. Y d°bll Mitch .;1 have, we are informed, re ceived a notification from the English Government to the effect that they (the G overnment ) h av i ng taken into consideration the con di tion of John Mitchel, s health, have granted free leave and libsrty to go wheresoever he pleases, subject to no restraint, with the exc eption that he sh a ll not return to or settle in any portion or colony in the United Kingdom.

By the "Statute of the Pill.)ry an I Tumbrel, and of the Assize of Bre i d and Ale, " made in the reign of Henry 111., it is enacted that " when a quarter of barley is soli for then four quarts of 8, 1 ,0 shall be sold for Id.; and so from henceforth the prices shall increase and de crease." At this rate brewers ought only to pay 245. per quarter f or b arley while they sell their fourpenny beer at Is. per gallon.—Mark -lane Express.

DAVIS STRAITS COD FISHING. -- The Shaver, Bridie, belonging to Messrs. D. and J.

The Shaver and the Craigie belong to Dundee owners. The send ing out vessels to Davis' Straits to fish for cod has only heea in operation for three or four years. This is the first season that vessels have been sent from this port on such business, except the Electra, which sailed from Dundee last year, and from the success met with the trade is likely to be continued.

Messrs. had a very moderate supply of wheat na abroad Taylor and Bright's circular states,—Wetro have during the past week, and the market has b: en very fir m , with Is advance on best runs o f f r( s h re d f ore i gn. Ot other articles arrivals are to a fair extent, and of barley large; for malting qualities, the demand is exeteoingh languid. and even fur the finer descriptions of Seal b-ss money has had to be taken, while, on the contrary, for grinding the demand continues great, and at full prices. There was only a moderate show of English wheat at our this day's market, and, notwithstanding the dulness yesterday in Mark•lane, our farmers were quite indis posed to make any concession upon the rates current last week, and such were generally paid for best descriptions. More samples of new wheat shown, and condition goid; such was pretty free sale at 40s to 43s per quarter. The weights run from 621 b to 641 b per bushel. Very little foreign wheat offering, and of fine quality the st, cks ate now unimportant; we make no alteration in our cur rency, but the market is very firm. The remarks mare above as to barley are fully cent - hued by the opera ions of to-days malting qualities quite neglected; grinding free sale at full prices, and the market glting well 'eared of late arrivals. A good consumptive demand for oats, as well as good beans, at our qautations, but etsi.s are only saleable at low rates for feeding purposes. For boilers we have no present sale. Indian corn is seliin g at 28s 48011 a The linseed market is well supported and cakes are not quite so good to buy. Our quotations for rapeseect; are quite ntiminal, there being no stocks. „Rape cakes are scarce, bath English and foreign, and in good demand. With moderate arrivals the bone market is very firm.

Polish and similar quality of lorcign wheat brought the extreme rates of this day se'itight, whilst Baltic was a shade lower; Irish new was also slow of sale, and 2d to 3d per bushel cheaper. Flout was considered the same as quoted last Tuesdly, but the demand not so good as on Friday last. Oats and Oat meal were without change. Egyptian Beans w ere h e ld for is per quarter advauee.
