In the first ward of the Penitentiary we entered, Jones, the Chartist watchmaker, was acting over seer to the mess, which comprised some dozen refrac tory- lads. Jones said grace for them before meat. He appeared to be circumspect and orderly, although upon his first arrival he wore the aspect of a sottish, dissipated mechanic, and was disposed to talk rather freely and unwarrantably. A hint, however, sufficed —he has learned his place, and seems to by in full health and vigour. When not employed in trifling repairs in his own trade, he works in the nailers' shop. Williams is likewise at Port Arthur. In the first instance, having assumed a specious character, and being in some degree conversant with mining, he was sent to the coal mines. There he inveigled some of his co-mates, built a boat, and effected a tempo rary escape. Being re-captured, he was forwarded to Port Arthur, where he at present works in one of the chain gangs. I did not see Williams. He is re presented as a bad, designing man. At Impression Bay Frost is at work : and having promised an acquaintance of mine and his, a man of fortune in England, who at one time had unhappily imbibed Chartist ideas, that I would, if possible, se e Frost, I availed myself of the present opportunity to have an interview. It was never my fortune to see Frost at home ; and as he a?proached I should have sought in vain to decipher the Ch;rtist leader—the J., P. of Lord John Russell, in the careworn prisoner with winged leather cap in probation livery of felon grey. " I was anxious to see you, Mr. Frost," I began, " because I parted from a friend of yours in August last, who still entertains a lively interest in your fate; and I promised Mr. R if practicable, to exchange a viva voce communication with you." At mention of Mr. R—'s name a sort of flush overspread the countenance of Frost, and I almost think a tear, and yet I could not be sure, started to his eye. " I hope, Sir," he said, "you left Mr. R— in good health ?" "You are, however, no doubt aware that Mr. R— has also paid somewhat of a penalty to the Chartist monster ?" " Yes, Sir, I am ; I saw an account of his impri sonment, and one, also, of his liberation. Pray what does Mr. R- think of us ?" " Oh, he is radically cured. lie considers he acted very like a fool, al though his folly stopped at a point immeasurably short of yours." " I mean, Sir, what hopes does he entertain with respect to our pardon ?" Very little indeed, I ap prehend. For my own part, I should conceive that to be a question beyond the pale of a hope." Indeed !" echoed Frost, seemingly slightly moved. " But, Sir, did you see the debate on the subject, which was decided against by the Speaker's voice alone ? " "I do not," I replied, "recollect such a de bate ; but of a pardon, I conceive, there is no reason• able ground for the entertainment-of a hope." " I don't know, Sir ; I may be wrong, I may be disappointed, but I certainly d 6 en t er t a i n suc h a hope:" It seems," I continued, " like cruelty to argue against you in such a matter, still I cannot help ex pressing my belief that you are wildly deceiving your self." " You see," said Frost, clinging to the hope he could not bring his mind to relinquish, "you see Feargus O'Connor has been liberated, and we ought to have the benefit on the point of law in our favour." " I cannot erg, that point ; but tell me, do you imagine the change of Ministry has bettered your prospects, or do you think that any Government would be justified in the rescinding your sentence ? Depend upon it you will never be permitted to quit this island. Chartism is a hydra-headed monster ; and were you again to land in England, you would again perforce become the rallying point of your party ; you would be dragged into the stormy sea of politics; and, if not a mover, you would be made a tool. What prudent Government would run such a hazard ?" " There may, Sir, be many reasons against my pardon, but there are many reasons, and justice, for its concession." " If I might offer a suggestion, Mr. Frost, it would be to the effect that you ought to turn your attention toward the attainment of what are termed colonial indulgences, and seek to see your wife and family around you here." . - Frost - coloured at the idea, which he repudiated strongly, declaring he would never bring his wife and grown up daughters to such a place, in his condition. I debated the matter calmly and patiently. " As to your c onditi on , ' I remarked, " the world draws a wide distinction between state criminals and petty larceny rogues, so that I do not see that that is a valid objection against bringing out your family.

A scheme of political change put forward in a newspaper by a party of young enthusiasts is not often met by so serious a denial. But this scheme, if it exist, originated not with Sweden, but with a certain party in Denmark. The dominions of the King of Denmark consist of Jutland and the islands, on the .one hand, inhabited by the true Danish people, and on the other of the Grand Duchy of Holstein and the Duchy of Sles wick, which partake largely of the German character, and indeed the former province forms part of the German Confederation. Hence has arisen a struggle between the Teutonic and Scandinavian elements in this little State, which the increased freedom of discussion and political activity granted to the people towards the close of the last reign has rendered more intense. The Liberal , party i n th e Danish estates of Jutland and the islands, which assemble respectively at Viborg and Roeskild, are incited by the great improvement in the political and social condition of Norway since that kingdom was detached from the Crown of Denmark, and annexed to that of Sweden. The provincial estates and the political sympathies of Holstein and Sleswick are, on the contrary, more attracted to the Germ n States ; and the policy of the great Commercial Union, directed in this respect by the Cabinet of Berlin, tends, if possible, to incorporate in the League a province which commands the right bank of the Elbe, possesses Altona and Kiel for its ports, and might very. probably enable that body to .dictate its own terms to the Hanseatic towns, Hamburgh on the west, and Lubeck on the east.

The claims of a close propinluity of blood, and the interests of Russian policy in the Baltic, equally conduce to attach the Emperor Nicholas to the interests of Christian VIII.; for part of the southern provinces of the Danish Crown were conceded and guaranteed to it at no remote period by that branch of the Rouse of Hol stein which occupies the throne of Russia, and for obvious reasons Russia will discourage any combina tion in the Baltic which might give the northern king doms unity and strength enough to make them formidable as maritime neighbours. The part of Sweden in these transactions of course prescribes to her great delicacy and forbearance, and we readily acquit her of any intention to encourage the dismem berment of Denmark, although she may ultimately be found to have promoted that result by the mere force of the example of the judicious Government of Norway by its present ruler.—Times.

Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surgeon, of Cannock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times :" " Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston —then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, I am ac tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape of quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. " I am, your obedient servant, " 'TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon. " Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire. "P. S. At the various consultations held up)n r-f case, the surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application of this extraordinary embrocation.—T.

Gazette, SWEDEN, NORWAY, AND DENMARK. Our attention has for some time past been attracted by rumours of certain projects said to be entertained by secret societies and political agents in the domi nions of the King of Denmark, for the purpose of availing themselves of the first opportunity, such as the death of the reigning Sovereign, or a political convulsion in Europe, to effect a material alteration in the balance of power among the Northern States. These rumours have recently assumed a greater de gree of importance from the official publication of a circular dispatch which appears to have been framed more than four years ago by the Swedish Govern ment, for the purpose of discountenancing schemes which certainly tend to the aggrandisement of Swe den. The publicity which has now been given to this paper is at least a sufficient proof that the projects which were supposed to be afloat in 1837 have not been abandoned. COPY OF A CIRCULAR ADDRESSED BY COUNT WETTER STEDT TO THE AMBASSADORS OF SWEDEN AND NORWAY. " Stockholm, April 14, 1837. " We have learned that a society of young German literati has proposed to publish a weekly journal to be called the Nordisk Ugeschri ft, for the purpose of inducing the inhabitants of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway to renew, under the pretext of their common origin, the ancient Union of Calmar. As a Swedish journal has emitted the same idea, and hinted that it had supporters in Sweden, it has appeared useful to acquaint you with the King's opinion on this subj ec t.

The Eighth Report of the Board of Commissioners of National Education in Ireland, contains various papers and documents explanatory of the present state of the schools in that portion of her Majesty's .King dom, both as regards the instructive and statistical departments. _— Ulm the former point a copy of a letter addressed to the Duke of Leinster from the Chief Secretary of Ireland, gives a view of the various methods which have been proposed for aioption in these schools for the purposes of harmoniously combining the educa tion o' Catholics and Protestants. Two plans have been tried—those two were in turn found Insufficient and objectionable, rind a third has finally been found to meet, and con.;iliEte interests in apparently a satis factory manner. We draw up a succinct notice of the three : • I. First in 1812, the children of these schools, Catholic and Protestant, were all educated together, and the Ho'y Scriptures, without note or comment, used for the common instruction of all. But in this method it was overlooked that the principles of the Roman Catholic Church were totally hostile to this system, since it permits not e v en t o adults, and far less to\children, indiscriminate reading or unaided private interpret &on of the sacred volume. Notes and comments of its own creed it inseparably appends. The opposition, therefore, of the Roman Catholic clergy caused this system to be withdrawn. H. The next plan was brought into operation in 1824.5. The new scheme caused two teachers to be appointed in every school, one Protestant and one Roman Catholic, and a selection from the Scriptures drawn up, and so framed as it was supposed they would be generally acquiesced in by both persuasions. On trial, however, this system was found to be im practicable, and it went the way of its predecessor. 111. Finally, In 1828, a Committee of the House of Commons, to which were referred the various Re ports of the Commissioners of Education, recom mended a system to be Adopted which should afford a combined literary, and a separate religious education. This was adopted. The school hours for ordinary in struction of the collective pupils were ordered to be five days out of the week, and the remaining two to be entirely devoted to religion. Spiritual and moral instruction was also not to be neglected on the other five, but after the appointed " school times" clergy men and parishioners were to be permitted and en couraged to attend the pupils, and instruct them ac cording to their creeds. This last plan has been found efficacious, approv able, and good, and the number of schools and pupils over which the system holds sway, will be understood • by reference to the subjoined statement. On the 31st of December, 1841, there were in the province of Ulster 1,005 schools in operation, con taining on their rolls, according to the latest census taken of them, which was in the preceding September, a total of 90,531 males and females, with an additional number of 103 schools in process of building, deduct ing, however, 44 struck off. In Munster, 482 schools, containing 75,191 males and females, with 113 schools forming ; 30 struck off. In Leinster, 642 schools, containing 88,092 males and females, with 81 schools building, and 30 struck off. In Connaught, 208 schools, having a total of 25,897 males and females, with 85 schools building, and 10 struck off. From this it appears summarily, that there at pre sent exist in Ireland throughout the four provinces above given, a total of 2,337 schools, educating within their walls he number of 279,711 male and female children of mingled Catholic and Protestant persua sion, while an additional number of 382 schools are now in active construction, in which it is calculated, upon their completion, that the further number of at least 48,356 children will receive the benefits of en lightenment and instruction. By drawing a comparison between the state of this vast body of schools at the commence ment of the year 1841 and its conclusion, progress will be reported as follows : The Commissioners had, according to their own showing, 1,978 schools in operation at the year's beginning, at tended by 232,560 children. At the close of it, 2,337 schools, which were attended by 281,849 children ; having also at the same time undertaken to make grants to 382 schools, which had not then opened, and the attendance upon which it was expected would amount to about 48,000. The Board finally calculate that they may look for ward to having between 300,000 and 400,000 poor chil dren receiving education under their superintendence in the course of the present year, and such an educa tion as it may be hoped will make them recruits to the cause of public order and peace. With regard to teachers, it may shortly be stated, that since the date of the last Report hereon the Board have caused to be trained 136 during the last year, in addition to the 645 before then in employ, making a total of 781. We cannot dismiss the subject, however, one preg nant with so much good to the rising population in Ireland, without alluding to the inconsiderable sala ries allowed to the masters and mistresses, the highest class-man of the former receiving no more than an annual sum of 201., and the females 151., while,under ones range as low as 101., and even 61. It is true that the Commissioners enforce that a further incpme be secured to the teachers, either by local subscriptions or school fees ; but in such a case fluctuative or pre carious stipend in any shape ought to be put out of the question. The instructor of youth fills an honour able and responsible post, and ought, therefore, in all situations to be honourably and liberally dealt with. the meetings. The common expression was, they would not attend to be borne down by " mere boys," who were furious, and knew no t what they were about. The predominance of a young and violent majority was general. In the metropolis the experience is similar. The mobs against which the police have to guard come from the most depressed distriCts ; and the constant report of the superintendents is, that scarcely any old men are to be seen amongst them. In general, they appear to con sist of persons between sixteen to twenty-five years of age. The mobs from such districts as , Bethnal-green ar e p ro p or ti ona t e ly conspicuous' for a . deficiency of bodily strength, without, however, being froM that cause proportionately the less dangerously mischievous. I was informed by peace officers that the great havoc at Bristol was committed .by mere boys. The experience of the Metropolitan Police is also similar as to the comparatively small pro portion of force available for public service from such depressed districts. It is corroborative also of the evidence as to the physical deterioration of their population, as well as the disproportion in respect to age. Two out of every three of the candidates for admission to the police force itself are found defective in the physical qualifications. It is rare that any one of the candidates from Spitalfields, Whitechapel, or the districts where the mean duration of life is low, is found to pos ess the requisite physical qualifications fur the force, which is chiefly recruited from the open districts at the outskirts of the town, or from Norfolk and Suffolk, and other agricultural Counties. In general the juvenile delinquents, who come from the inferior districts of the towns, are con spicuously under size. In a recent examination of juvenile delinquents at Parkhurst by Mr. Kay Shuttleworth, the great majority were found to be deficient in physical organization. An im pression is often prevalent that the criminal po pulation consists of persons of the greatest phy sical strength. Instances of criminals of great strength certainly do occur; but speaking from observations of the adult prisoners from the towns and the convicts in the hulks, they are in.gene ral below the average standard of height. The facts indicated will suffice to show the importance of the moral and political considera tions, viz., that the noxious physical agencies depress the health and condition of the popula tion, and act as .obstacles to education and to moral culture; that in abridging the duration of the adult life of the working classes they check the growth of productive skill, and abridge the amount of social experience and steady moral habits in the community; that they substitute for a population that accumulates and preserves instruction and is steadily progressive, a popula tion that is young, inexperienced, ignorant, cre dulous, irritable, passionate, and dangerous, having a perpetual tendency to moral as well as physical deterioration. HYDROPHOBIA. AIR. EDIToa,--The case of hydrophobia reported in the papers a few days since, induces me, w ith y our permissio n , t o offer for the good of the public the fol lowing observations on the disease, and the only means we are acquainted with to prevent it. In the human being it is called hydrophobia, in the dog and other animals rabies. We are unacquainted with the nature of the poison, but it differs from all other poisons by remaining apparently in a dormant state for weeks, or even for months, and it is not ab sorbed into the system for some time after the bite. No remedy is known for the disease when once it is developed. None of the nostrums which are said to be cures can be relied upon. • The cause of the disease is equally unknown. Some have attributed it to the heat of the weather—the " dog-days;" others to want of water, or ill usage, but we have no proof of it. The present. summer is the hottest we have known for many years, and I have not heard of any case in the metropolis until the one above alluded to. In many hot climates the disease is unknown, and it has raged among us in the coldest weather. In 1838 I had no less than forty-eight cases under treatment; this year I have not had one. My predecessors, Messrs. Blaine and Youatt, as well as myself, have been bitten by rabid dogs, and we are still alive ; and we have operated on some hundreds of human beings who have been bitten by rabid animals, and in no case has there been loss of life. The pre ventive is as follows :—The person bitten should as soon as possible thoroughly wash and cleanse the bitten part; not suck the poison from the wound as is too commonly done, for inoculation may take place by an abrasion on the lip. If the wound be super& cud and ragged, let the edges be removed with a pair of scissors, and then apply freely to . every part the nitrate of silver, commonly called lunar caustic, and which may be had in any drug gist's shop. If the wound be a punctured one, as in some cases it is from the tusk of the animal going deep into the flesh, the stick of caustic must be carefully pointed that it may reach the bottom ; if necessary, the wound should be enlarged, care being taken in the use of the knife, or th poison may be carried by it over the fresh surface. The nitrate of silver completely destroys the surface of the wound, and neutralises the poison, which comes away with the destroyed surface without the absorb ents acting upon it, and if freely applied to the part affected, the patient may feel himself perfectly safe. I do not recommend the application of a poultice after the operation, but let the wound be exposed to the atmosphere, and should any inflammaiion ensue, it may be relieved by dressings of olive oil.

CAPTAIN MARRYAT'S NEW NOVEL, " PERCIVAL KEENE."—This amusing novel promises to rival in popularity Captain Marryat's chef d'oeuvre, " Peter Simple." The Literary Gazette says, " 'Percival Keene,' by the author of Peter Simple,' indicates the intent of a contrast ; and the writer of Jacob Faithful has faithfully wrought it out. The hero's family and intro duction to life are described with a rich satirical humour, and the whole of the early pages are lively and spirited.

We cannot help expressing a hope that he will be successful in thus promoting a branch of trade that he has already done so much to incr ease , b y introducing Scot c h goo d s i n such variety for ladies and gentleinen's dresses in the Southern Metropolis. Her Majesty and Prince Albert have honoured Mr. Locke with their orders. The Lancashire turn -out ,still continues. The very natural consequence is the announcement of a series of depredations, and a practice of plunder by night, which must lead to still further irritation between the middle and lower clusses,— , Hafffax Guardian. YOUNG MOBS. (From the "Report on the Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population of Great Britain.) Whenever the adult population of a physically depressed district, such as Manchester, is brought out on any public occasion, the preponderance of youth in the crowd, and the small proportion of aged, or even of the middle aged, amongst them is apt to strike those who have seen assemblages of the working population of other districts more favourably situated. In the course of some inquiries under the Con stabulary Force Commission as to the proportions of a paid force that would apparently be requi site for the protection of the peace in the manu facturing districts, reference was made to the meetings held by torchlight in the neighbour hood of Manchester. It was reported to us, on close observation by peace-officers, that the bulk of the assemblages consisted of mere boys, and that there were scarcely any men of mature age to be seen amongst them. Those of mature age and experience, it was stated, generally disap proved of the proceedings of the meetings as in jurious to the working classes themselves. These older men, we were assured by their employers, were intelligent, and perceived that capital, and large capital, was not the means of their depres sion, but of their steady and abundant support. They were generally described as being above the influence of the anarchical fallacies which appeared to sway those Wild and really dan gerous assemblages. The inquiry which arose upon such statements was how it happened that t h e men of mature age, feeling their own best interests injured by the proceedings of the younger portion of the working classes, how they, the elders, did not exercise a restraining influence upon their less experienced fellow workmen? On inquiring of the ,owner of some extensive manufacturing property, on which be tween 1,000 and 2,000 persons were maintained at wages yielding 40s. per week per family, whether he could rely on the aid of the men of mature age for the protection of the capital which furnished them the means of subsistence ? he stated lie could rely on them confidently. But on ascertaining the numbers qualified for service as special constables, the gloomy fact be came apparent, that the proportion of men of strength and of mature age for euch service were but as a small group against a large crowd, and that for any social influence they were equally weak. The disappearance by premature deaths of the heads of families and the older workmen at such ages as those recorded in the returns of dependent widowhood and orphanage, must to some extent practically involve the ne cessity of supplying the lapse of staid influence amidst a young population by one description or other of precautionary force. On expostulating on other occasions with middle-aged and experienced workmen on the folly as well as the injustice of their trade unions, by which the public peace was compromised by the violence of strike after strike, without re gard to the experiences of the sufferings from the continued failures of their exertions sor ob jects the attainment of which would have been most injurious to themselves, the workmen of the class remonstrated with, invariably dis claimed connexion with the proceedings, and showed that they abstained from attendance at /I 2-zi-ra-el-e.-- //2. LITERATURE. FJREST LIFE. By the Author ova " A Net, Ho me.' Lyndon, Longman, - 2 Yds. - 'fhe writer of these volumes has aimed at giving some amusing and instructive pictures of life in Mi chigan, on the borders of the wilderness. She says nothing of Indians, nothing of the very first pioneers of the•wilderriess ; she takes us into one of those dis tricts in which villages have arisen, in which some society his been tiarmed. and some conveniences are attainable. A Doctor is within a few miles ; it is visited by a pedlar ; carpenters can be hired, and will -stay when they are not wanted at home ; and schools, according to the law of the United States, have been formed, though the distant com munity still trusts to itinerant schoolmasters. " The public square, though intended to become in time the glory of the village, is still in a state of nature ;" the inhabitants " are still lulled to sleep by the plaintive iteration of, the Whip-poor-Will ;" " they still occasionally catch the wild note of the owl, as he chides the moon ;" and " they hear, with ever new delight, the sweet welcome with which the theilsand.songsters of the morning hail the appear ance of the sun." They might have good gardens, but they have too much else to do. " Lilacs and lilies, and even cauliflowers and celery are mere super fluities. The tomata has hitherto been consi dered heathenish and abominable ; asparagus use ful only to put above the looking-glass, as a • fly-trap." By no other author are we in troduced into the domestic life of these settlers, and made acquainted with the dangers, particu larly of diseas e , w hi c h t h ey encounter, and the petty and annoying difficulties they have to overcome. We see, indeed, in a great multitnde of books, a rough outline of savage wildness, yielding i n pl aces t o a rampant civilization ; we see utter destitution gra dually becoming great abundance, first of food, and afterwards of comfort we see the beginning of a rude log-house and we see afterwards a flourishing city; hut this authoress.takes us into the log-house and into the improved dwelling which afterward s arises in its neigh bourhood, and shows us the minute and daily, cares and troubles which fill up the settler's life in the early st age s of the transition. This minute information is conveyed in a pleasant, agreeable manner, very often assumi ng the form of a tale _; is mingled with much philosophy, and enlightened throughout by quiet, steady, kindly mi feeling. The book i s occas i on ally de a little tedi ous by over many remarks. Sfre di not like the Sibthorp correspondence, but, on the whole, it is much to - our taste, and will bestow on unsophisticated minds considerable -pleasure, mingled with much information. We have no doubt whatever that the book is written by one who has sojourned for a. considerable period, and is probably now a so journer, in the regions she des c rib es . If they be peopled by many more such accomplished and gentle persons—and sfie records numerous traits of ster ling virtue—they must speedily become conspicuous for refinement, as they now are for offering a com fortable home to all, those who can reach them, en dowed with heitlth, strength, and the knowledge of some useful art. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—The report of the proceedings at Guildhall, respecting my charge again s t th e Li cense d Vic tuallers' Protection Society, for having deni e d th e payment to me, on behalf 'of Mr. Ibbotson, of 25., as a fee for entering the name of my master, as an appli cant for a servant, is likely to do me injury unless you give an explanation. The Magistrate refused to go on with the case, as he decided he had no jurisdiction, as pressed by Mr. Wire. As I did pay the fee it is my intention to summon the Secretary for the amount. I paid, and. I have no doubt of being able to prove cir cumstances, there to be adduced, to show that though no receipt was given for the money I paid, the prac tice hitherto, that I have a claim against the Society. --I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE SMITHERS. Black Boy and Horse Shoe, Nicholas•lane, Sept. 7. KENT HOP IN MAIDSTONE.—Picking is now proceeding in good earnest, and in many places the hops have come down so fast that the pickers have been forced to strike off in the middle of the day for want of sufficient drying• convenience. The sample is said to be generally ex cellent, and much fewer complaints of lightness are heard than might have been expected. WATER' NGIIUR &c.—Picking has become gene ral in this neighbourhood, and most of the growers speak of the growth as answering their highest ex pectations. The quality is spoken of as very fine. Some few have been packed, and the hops are light in weight compared with the number of bushels. The general estimate of the duty is about 145,0001. HORSMONDEN.—Picking has progressed sufficiently now to enable an opinion to be given concerning the duty, which we consider at present too high. The samples are very good generally, as regards condition, and all our best grounds are excellent. It will be the, very best growth that has been experienced for a very great many years, and it will be the planter's own fault if he does not obtain remunerating prices this year, for he may not have as good a chance again for some years to come. It is considered here that 135,0001. will be the outside of the present duty. NORTH lAM.—The picking has partially commenced, but the hops do not seem to come down so well as was expected. _ _ _ WINDMILL HILL, SEPT. 2.—Hop picking is become general in our plantations, and a few pockets have been sent to market. The planters now find that there is not the crop that was anticipated, and that a large hole is made in the grounds for but few hops; the sample is good, and it is expected that the picking will be sooner over than was at first imagined. ' Hel lingly, Heathfield, Dallington, Ashburnham, and Ninheld, are in the same position. The duty is still thought not to exceed 135,0001. FEMALE DEALERS IN CORN.—An ancient custom prevails at Chartres, the largest corn market in France, with the exception of Paris, the women invariably acting as the sole agents in the purchase and sale of corn. The market is worth a visit for the sake of see ing the operations of the women, to whom is confided the entire duty of measuring the corn, delivering it to the buyers, receiving the prices, and paying over the amount to the sellers. These women are more ex pressively than elegantly termed, " Leveuses de culs de-poche ;" poche, in the dialect of La Beauce, sig nifying the sack in which the grain is brought to market. These women form an organised corporation, which has existed for several centuries. They enjoy a reputation for the strictest integrity, which is indeed sufficiently attested by the fact that the whole transac tions of the market are entrusted to them. Nor are they under any surveillance ; the buyer and the seller alike put implicit confidence in them. The latter, when he has pitched his corn, leaves it entirely in their hands, goes about his business or pleasure in the town, and re turns in the eveni ng t o rece i ve t h e amount of the sale, without making any inquiries, or taking any frrther trouble about it. The confidence placed in the honesty of these women, and the importance of the charge con fided to them, may be estimated from the fact. that ten thousand quintals of corn is by no means an unusual quantity to change hands in one market day at Chartres, the whole of.which is invariably disposed of fur really money, paid on the spot. SUICIDE IN TILE SERPENTINE.—Yesterday morn ing, at an early hour, a person of gentlemanly appear ance, was seen to throw himself off the bridge of the See pentine, in Hyde Park, into the water. The men be longing to the loyal Humane Society, on recalling in telligence of the suicide, commenced dragging for the body, and about five o'clock they succeeded in finding it. The deceased, whose name is unknown, was taken to the receiving house of the Humane Society, and medical as sistance was rendered, but life was found to be quite ex tinct. The deceased appears to be 40 to 43 y ears o f age, stout built, and about 5 feet six inches in Insight, and was dressed in a black coat , black silk waistcoat, dark trowsers, and Wellington boots. his app earance denotes that he has movod in a respeotable sphere of lif e. FATAL. ACCIDENT ON TILE RIVER. —Yesterday evening a lamentable accident, attended with loss of life, occurred on th e riv er , nearly opposite Ro th er hithe, as the Waterma n steamer No. 2 w as procee di ng to Woolwich. A vess el called the Eden, from Newcastle, J u st cast :anchor at t hi s spot, the Captain was boutliav ig to proceed on shore in the long boat, and in the act of crossing the river, the boat, which also contained three sailors, was struck by the prow of the steamer, and immediately swamped.

The engineer of the steamer saved one of the sailors at the risk of his own life. TituNDER-STORM LAST NlGllT.—Yesterday even ing the metropolis was again visited by a thunder -storm, which, during the time it lasted, was severe and appall,. ing. In the early part of the evening dense masses of clouds appeared approaching from the south and west, at which latter point of the horizon, shortly after dekk, the lightning became most vivid and incessant. About a quarter before eight o'clock the rain came down stiddenl in torrents, which was accompanied by incessant flashes of lightning, of a pale blue colour, and loud peals of thunder. The lightning. throughout the whole duration of the storm,was most awfully mill and intense. Shortly after nine o'clock the storm abated suddenly, passing off in a north-easterly direction. DISTRAINING FOR RENT.—Speaking of Turkey Gays the New Orleans Picayune,) we heard an extensive tale yesterday. It was told us by the doctor. A man up town, on going to dinner a day or two ago, found a magnificent turkey, weighing fifteen or tw en ty p o unds smoking hot on the table. A s h e h a pp ene d t o reco ll ec t that he had himself purchased a pair ,a ducks in the market that morning, he began to wonder how they , became transformed into the dish before Ben, said he to the boy waiting upon him, " where the devil did this turkey come from ?' " Why, sa," said Ben, " dat ar turkey is been roosin' on our fence dis three night, and dis mornin' I seize him for de rent ob de fence ?" A great nigger that ? We have a shrewd suspicion that he understands the WY* Of TINteY much better than his roger, P
