He afterwards said, "Put this loaf in the cupboard, and I will show it to the governor in the morning ;" with which request I complied. The next morning I took him before the governor with the loaf, and I stated what had occurred on the previous night, when the governor said he should not allow such remarks to be made by prisoners, and he should punish him by stopping part of 'his dinner, as he could have complained to him and not to the officers. When the prisoner came out and was crossing the yard, he said he had intended asking the governor for his loaf back again, when I re plied that he might have done so if he had thought proper. That was all that passed on that occasion. I then locked the prisoner up in the dormitory to do his work in the usual way. •At about 20 minutes to one I went to see if he had done his work, and the moment I unlocked the door he made a rush at me and struck me with some sharp instrument on the right temple. The moment I received the blow I fell back and shut the door. At the time I was shutting the door he made another stab at me and cut my left hand. He then pushed the door against me, but I had strength enough left to lock it. I made the best of my way to the hall and there saw the surgeon. The Prisoner in answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, said it was not necessary to ask this witness any questions. Some portions of what he had stated were true, some were grossly exaggerated, and some were entirely false. All he could say was that he gave him a great deal of provo cation. . Mr. H. Wakefield, surgeon to tha prison, said—On the 25th of last month I was coming into one of the pas sagesof the prison, when I saw the last witness with his hand to his forehead, and bleeding profusely from a wound. I examined the. wound which was an incised ore, nearly An inch in length, on the outer angle of . the orbit near the eye. 'The wound was not of a very dan gerous character, but if it had been a quarter of an inch further it would have entered the brain. The man has been under my care ever since. I also dressed a wound on one of his hands. Both wounds might have been caused by a knife. Mr. George Hoare, the chief warder of the prison, said—l was called by one of the officers, and went and saw the prosecutor, when he told me he had been stab bed by the prisoner in the dormitory, but he did not know with what. I went up stairs and looked through the inspection-hole of the dormitory, and saw the pri soner standing with his hands behind him. I went in and caught hold of the prisoner's arms, and said " You have got something in your hands." He then gave me the knife produced. (The knife was a common dinner knife sharpened to a point, and was bound round the handle with string.) I then said, " What made you do such a thing ?" when he replied that he " might think himself a lucky fellow." He said he did not wish to hurt me. I then asked him where he got the knife from, when he said, "No matter." I subse quently found the knife had been taken from one of the night warder's boxes, which had been broken open. The knife is not one of the prison knives. It was' covered with blood. Benjamin Morris, one of the sub-warders, said—l have a box in the dormitory. On the evening of the 25th ult. I discovered that my box had been broken open, and the knife produced taken from it. When I left the knife it had no string round the handle, and was not ground to the sharp poith it now has. The prisoner said he should like to ask the com plainant a few questions, which was granted. Prisouer—Had I complained before that night ? Middleton—Yes. Did I not say that because I was unfortunate enough on a previous occasion to have committed an outrage that all the officers in the prison had an antipathy to me, and did I not make a complaint to the go vernor about my bread 7—Yes. And did I not complain of my bread the night pre vioui ?"—Yea. Did you not say, "I will have none of your non sense ?"—No. Did you not hold up your finger and say, "Do not threaten me ? "—I did say so, but I took back my words, and said, "Do not ask me." When I spoke about the bread, did you not weigh it, and find that it did not weigh 6 oz. ?—The scales were just on a level. Was it your intention to bring me before the go ♦ernor for breach of prison discipline Some remarks having been made about the previous question. The prisoner said—l can see plainly that you have an antipathy to me, and that I have not got justice. I shall say no more in my defence, either good, bad, or indifferent. Seeing a reporter present, I hope and believe that the public will be put into the right state of the facts. The prisoner was then committed to Newgate for trial. [PRICE 4D. STAMPED SD. YE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCEIEQUER AND Trill PRESERVATION OF HAMP STEAD-HEATH. Yesterday a deputation from the various metropolitan wishes, headed by Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., and e Right Hon. Sir Benjamin Hal!, Bart., M.P., and comparied by several members of the Metropolitan lard of Works, waited by appointment on the Right on. G. Cornewall Lewis, M.P., Chancellor of the Ex 'quer, at his official residence in Downing-street, for e purpose of ascertaining how far the Government Fuld be likely to aid in securing Hainpstsad-heath in rpetuity to the public. 1.4 , ir,1 ROBERT GROSVENOR having introduced the sub- The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was quite prepared to admit that the preservation of Hamp stead-heath would be a great metropolitan improvement, of the highest advantage to the public, but the great dififfculty was to find the funds by which its purchase should be effected. It it were taken from the Consoli dated Fund then they might have members for Corn wall, for Dublin, Manchester, Edinburgh, and other places jumping up and complaining that these sums were lavished on metropolitan improvements alone. It ap. peared, however, that what was proposed now was that Hampstead-heath should be purchased by funds arising out of the surplus of the coal tax. He supposed tt , a 4 % it was meant out of the surplus of the 9d. per ton which the Government received. The Metropolitan Boitrd of Works, he thought, was invested with the posyer, but they seemed themselves to think otherwise ; but, with reference to the surplus of the coal duties • he [thought the Government was under a pledge that it [t hought not even continue till 1862 if the eh ges upon it were liqUidated previonsiy. He di . not know a 4 :thatinumeiat4,wotootb4 4 o. -chtvgess wee, not :.hat do. purchase:Money for .Hampstead he h might be, but he presumed there would' be the co mon rights of pasture to be. purchased afswell am the ' mailkorial rights of Sir T. M. Wilson, as the lord. . , Sir B. HALL, M.P., said no doubt that was the c ase, but; the important point was to secure Hampstead heath at once, for if the present lord of the manor died, either his brother or his nephew could at once build all over the heath. He contended that the Metropolitan Board of Works had full power, under the Local Management Aet' to have purchased the heath ; but, if they bad not, they could give notice and come to Parliament for fur ther? powers. What he therefore suggested was this— let the Metropolitan Board give notice and place a bill in t h e hands of his noble friend Lord Robert Grosvenor, autllorising the Government to apply the surplus of the present coal-duties for that purpose ; and then upon such security, when it was ascertained what the charges upon the coal-duties were likely to be, and what surplus was 'remaining, the Government in all probability would advence the money. Mr. LEWIS suggested that as the Metropolitan Board had declined to entertain the subject, upon the ground that they considered the act did not give them power, a declaratory clause in the amended bill now before the house giving them that power might be introduced. (Heel., heir.) Si' B. HALL said the Metropolis Loc a l M an ag emen t Am ndment Bill stood for its third reading that day, a n d if it , as not read before he got to the house he would cheerfully introduce such a clause. The hon. baronet then left amidst applause for the purpose. After some further explanations, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not give any promise upon the subject, but he admitted that in the event of a surplus of coal duties the object had a fair claim upon that fund. The deputation then retired.

T The annual meeting of thi s soc i e t y was h e ld y es t er d ay at the offices in New Brid ge - s t ree t, Bl ac kf r i ars ; J o hn coTvheer'SEECIE in n the residder) having read the advertisement convening the meeting; proceeded to read the following report : " The business during the past year bas far exceeded that of either of the preceding. The cash-statement and balance-sheet will show the financial progress and the highly satisfactory position of the society. " The number of shares issued during the first year was 1,176; second, 2,273; third, 2,546: fourth, 3,194; fifth, 3,832 ; making a total of 12,931 shares issuedfrom the commencement of the society to the 30th April last. The sum of 46.0781. 9s. lid, has been received upon in vestment shares; the total amount during . the first four years having been 89,4461. ss. The sum of 19,2221. 15s. 7d. has been withdrawn upon shares, ; upon which com pound interest has-been paid at the fate of 5 per cent. per annum. In the majority of the cases of withdrawal the directors have paid the members the amount due to them without requiring them to wait the usual time of notice. The subscription shares have had placed to their credit the amount of interest due thereon, as stated in the society's tables. The haliyearly interest upon rea• lised shares was paid to the shareholders on the 30th of October and the 30th of April last, amounting to 2,2251 Os. 2d. ; and there is now invested upon this class of shares 53,558/. In acsordance with the 28th rule _a careful valuation of liabilities and assets has been made, the result of which will be found in the general balanos-sheet. From the profits of the society the ' directors have been enabled to pay off a third tenth portion of the preliminary expenses, aloe to appropriate 10 per cent. of the remaining profite i to the reserve fund, and to carry a banns equal "tir'l4 per cent.' iin terest on shares upon which 12 months' subscriptions or more have been paid. This bonus has been placed to the credit of the several shareholders' accounts. The amount rec dyed in the savings bank and deposit _depart ment during the past year is 19,9851. 9s. 9d., and the amount withdrawn 13,3771. ls. Bd. ; showing an increas ed balance on this account of 6,6081. Bs. Icl. The inte rest has been paid to the 30th of April last, or carried to the credit of the respective depositors. The directors, being desirous of increasing the facilities for the invest ment of savings in this department, have made arrange ments by which any sum can be paid or withdrawn dur ing office hours, in addition to the usual hours on Wed nesday evenings. Such plans having been adopted, as the directors believe, will secura a careful quarterly exa mination of all the accounts, with the depositors' books, they solicit the co-operation of the shareholders in ex tending the advantages of this department. The advances made upon the mortgage of houses and lands are as fol lows :-Ist and 24 years, 26,7841. is. Bd. ; 3d and 4th years, 68,0741. 3s. Id. ; sth year, 49 ,3651. 15s. 4d. Total amount advanced, 144,1881. 6s. Id. The advances of the past year exceed the previous year by 16,1761. 13s. ld., or near 50 per cent. The sum of 1,6671. 10s. has been advanced to members upon the deposit of their share , , which has afforded temporary accommodation to many of the shareholders, and prevented the withdrawal of their subscriptions. Thirteen -properties have been redeemed during the year ; and inasmuch as the society has a constant accession of borrowers, the directors are enabled to offer every facility for the redemption of pro perties whenever desired by the parties receiving ad vaeces. The sale of portions of the society's freehold estate at Muswell-hill has realised the sum of 1,2461. 2s. 94., and the remainder of the Sutton Estate has been disp teed of at a profit. The directors have received the resignation of one of their colleagues, Mr, William Gover. According to the rules the filling up this vacancy devolv ed on the board, but as the resignation took place shortly before the annual meeting, and Mr. Gover being one of the directors then to retire, subject to re-election, so that any gentleman selected would have to be sub mitted to the members, 'he directors thought it better that the election should be left to the annual meeting. The directors have taken the premises No. 37, New Bridge-street, upon lease, where the business was for merly carried on, and the offices will be removed to those premises on the Ist of August next. The directors confidently rely upon the exertions of the shareholders in the extension of the society's business, and thus con tinuing the success which for five years has marked its onward progress. The statement of accounts and the general balance sheet were appended to the report. The CHAIRMAN said he bad prepared some few notes, and had intended to have addressed the meeting on the subject of building-societies, but the business of the evening was of so extensive a character that be would spare the meeting the pain of hearing his remarks. The fifth annual report which they had just heard read needed no speech from him, because it was couched in the most intelligible language, and displayed in lucid terms the exact position of the company. It showed that the last year had been the best they had known, that the num ber of members had increased, t-bat ifs pnalsital income bad increased, and that the expenditure had increased by the augmented amount of loans granted. It was sa tisfactory to know that amidst severe competition among offices of this character the Perpetual Investment Com pany continued to make its onward progress. This so ciety was an illustration of its goo i working for the middle classes and the working classes, who were now, happily, more disposed than ever to save money to pro vide for the future. There was a time when persons who were prudently disposed could ,only resort to savings banks, or the funds, or to clubs which were not of a sa tisfactory character ; but now they had building-societies and investment-societies, from which they derived cer tain benefits. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. JOHN DEANE seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. JESSE HOBSON, in a few words, and was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN intimated that the next business was to elect two airectors in the room of Mr. R. Cartwright and Mr. F. 'Cuthbertson, who, being eligible, pre sented themselves for re-election. There was also a vacancy to be supplied in the board by the retirement of Mr. William Gover, to supply which there were three candidates—Messrs. Silvester, Dorsey, and Millar. The candidates for the vacancy having suggested that the retiring directors' names should be put before those of the candidates for the vacancy, The two retiring directors were ra-elected, on the mo tion of Mr. Jesse Hobson, secluded by Mr. Marsland. Mr. John Wells, in a speech•of great length, proposed Mr. Silvester as a director, to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr. William Gover ; Mr. Amos Cive proposed Mr. Millar; and Mr. Templeton proposed Mr. Doxcey. - . Some obifutions were taken to Mr. Silvester on the ground that he was a director of a kindred institution (the National Todustrial) in the immediate locality of this society. This objection, however, was successfully met by several speakers, and especially by the chairman at the close of the election, who showed that the posi tion of each society was such as to enable them to throw business into the way of each other, to the advantage of each society, because by their regulations one company could give facilities in peculiar cases where the other could not. The result of the show of hands was that Mr. Silvester was elected, the numbers being, for Mr. Silvester 70, Mr. Millar 49, and Mr. Doxsey 18. Mr. Doxsey demanded a poll, but was too late in his application, and the chairman refused to grant it. Other formal resolutions having been put, a special meeting was held and resolutions carried enabling the company to extend the sphere of their operations, by grunting loans, &0., to persons being non-members. The meeting then adjourned. ATTEMPTED MURDER OP A GAOLER IN THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION. EXAMINATION AND COMMITTAL OF THE PRISONER.

Shortly before one o'clock the prisoner, who was at tired in the gaol dress, was brought into the room, and charged with the above offence. Appears to be about 23 years of age, and was formerly a labourer, but for the last few years has beenwell k nown t o th e Police as a " professional thief. . The pri s o ner i s o f a very sullen disposition, an ,n December, 1852, while undergoing an imprisonment for some petty offence, in the same prison, he took umbrage at the conduct of one of the warders, and havi ng o bt a i ne d possession of a knife stabbed him in the c h es t , b ut for tunately without serious injury, for whi c h o ff ence b e was taken before the visiting magistrates, and sentenced to six months'additional imprisonment, with hard labour, in the House of Correction. About a week after he had received this sentence he struck another of the gaolers in the most brutal manner, and for this offence he re• ceived 50 lashes. Since that period he has almost "lived in prison ;" and although he has repeatedly threatened the officers, he has never carried his threats into execution until the 24th of May, w h en he aga i n stabbed another of the gaolers, a very quiet, inoffensive man, and a most excellent officer, in the way described by the following witnesses : William Middleton, who appeared with his head and hands bandaged up, and who seemed in a very weakly condition, was the first witness called. He said—l am a warder of the Middlesex House of Correction, Celd• bath-fields. The man Willson was under my charge on the 24th of May, and had been so for about a fortnight Previously. On the evening of that day he complained to me, saying that his loaf of bread was small, and not full weight ; when I replied that "if he did nob like it, be could have it weighed." He said in a very sull e n manner that he did not want it weighed, all that he re quired was that I should give him the same bread as the rest of the prisoners, and he would then 14 sotiededi Naval and Military Intelligence. The. paddlewheel steam-transport Severn, No. 194, Capt. Genies, from the Critiet. strived at Plymouth last evening with 26 officers, 335 sick, 20 servants, and 19 orderlies, under the command of Lieut. Nash. The cargo consisted of 240 quarter-barrels of gunpowder and 7 cases. She left Balaklava June 12th, Scutari 15th, Ma'ta 20th, and Gibraltar 26th. The Severn bad in tow from Scutari the Norwegian bark Drowback, with 150 invalids, which broke adrift in a gale of wind off Cape Bon. June the 23d, in lat. 37.30 N., long. 7.15 E , exchanged colours with the screw steamship Oneida, which had the ship London in tow, standing to the westward ; also the brigantine Glance, standing north ; on the 25th, off Cape de Gatt, the screw steamer Thes salia; standing to the eastward ; on the 27th, at 7 p.m., between Cape St. Vincent and the Gut of Gibraltar, sig nalled a sailing transport standing eastward ; at 1 p.m., the transport Brent, s t eer i ng eastwar d ; an d at 7 p.m., off Cape St. Vincent a schooner yacht, with blue ensign. She left at Gibraltar the screw stearn-trgnsport Victoria, which was to leave on the 27th for England, with the 79th Hig hlander s. Yesterday morning the officers, non-commis3ioned officers, and privates belonging to the Reserve Battalion of the 12th Foot and the 45th Regiment, under orders to embark for the Cape of Good Hope, to join their head quarters at that station, assembled on the parade-ground at Chatham Barracks for the purpose of being inspected, prior to their proceeding to Gravesend for embarkation. They were under the command of Capt. J. Stack, 45th Regiment, and the following officers :—Essign W. D. Jarvis, Ensign G. W. Reade, and Ensign J. 0. John. son, 12th Regiment ; and Ensign E. O'Neill, 45th Regiment. On reaching Gravesend the officers and men proceeded on board the Eveline. On Tuesday Capt. Lord Frederick Kerr, Flag Captain of the Waterloo, 120 guns, inspected the Elk, 12 gun sloop, Commander John Fane Charles Hamilton, at Sheerness. The crew were put through all their evolu tion, and went through their drill in seaman-like style. Her destination is to be the East Indies and China, to search after pirates in the China rivers. She is waiting her sailing orders. The Driver, 6 guns, paddlewheel steam-sloop, Com mander J. Chambers, left Sheerness on Tuesday, with a mortar-boat in tow, for Plymouth. Mr. John Bonney, Chief Engineer, has taken up his appointment, and joined the new screw steam-sloop Scylla, of 21 guns, fitting at Sheerness. The Edinburgh, 80 guns, screw steam-ship, is daily expected at Sheerness from Portsmouth, for the pendant of Capt. Halstead, in command of the steam squadron of reserve there. Lord Camoys, Sir G. Grey, and Mr. Monsell paid a visit of inspection yesterday to Woolwich arsenal, where they remained upwards of three hours, examining with much interest the casting, laboratory, and royal carriage departments of that establishment. The screw transport Jura, No. 14, Captain Moodie, arrived off Woolwich at 3 o'clock yesterday to land horses from the Crimea, belonging to the Royal Horse Artillery. The Golden Fleece, the Jason, the Candia, and the Bahiana transports are ordered to be discharged from the Government service as soon as their cargoes shall be landed. It is said that Carmarthen is again likely to become the head-quarters of a military force, and that the 44th Regiment of Foot will be stationed there. The 23d Foot, or Welsh Fusiliers, are now distributed in Newport and neighbourhood. The head-quarters are in barracks at that town, and a detachment is lying at Cardiff. The service companies will shortly be distri buted in Brecon and elsewhere, making the strength of the regiment with the depot 1,200. On Tuesday the steam-ship Prince and Princess ar rived at the North-wall, conveying to Dublin for New bridge six officers, six serjeants, 270 privates, and 123 horses, belonging to the Ist Royal Dragoons, last sta tioned at Canterbury. Between 5 and 6 o'clock the same vessel took on board seven officers, eight serjeants, 322 privates, and 181 horses, belonging to the 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoons, for conveyance to England. The steam•transport Queen of the Soutb, No. 135, Captain Beale, arrived at 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening in Kingston harbour, with a detachment of the let Royal Dragoons, under the command of Captain Ains lie.

The remainder of the regiment has proceeded from Malta to Canada. . The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieutenant R. W. D. A bercromby, to the Hogue ; Lieut. W. G. Silverlock, to the Atalanta ; Lieut. John Ward (B), additional to the St. Jean d'Acre ; P. H. Parker, Naval Cadet, to the Elk ; John Hay, Assistant-Paymaster in Charge, to the Lynx. The authorised issue of country notes has recently been furthsr reduced by the transfer of the business of the bank of Messrs. Davies and Co., at Knighton, to the branch of the North and South Wales Bank estab lished in that town. The issue of Messrs. Davies and Co. was 9,0901. In Scotland and- Ireland, but not in England, when two banks of issue unite, the united bank can extend its issue to the aggregate amount of 1 1 he ism of both. A Parliamentary return issued this week shows that the number of memorials lately presented, praying for the discontinuance of the performance of military bands on Sundayswas 542, signed by 111,309 persons, 76 memorials, signed by 24,910 persons, contain, in addition to the general prayer against military bands, a prayer against the opening of the British Museum, &c., on Sundays ; 3,413 persons pray that equipages in the parks, &c., may ,be prohibited on the Sunday ; 9,638 that Kew Gar dens be closed ; 236 that public amusements generally be prohibited, and 380 that railway and " other travel ling" be disallowed ; 236 persons petition against the sale of refreshments on Sundays, and 328 !consisting of clergymen of the Church of England in the town and county of Derby, and women connected with the Wes leyan Methodist Church and congregation in the town of Belper, Derby), cad attention to "sundry desecrations of the L rd's-day—viz,, Sunday Journals, the opening of shops and public houses, the plying of boats and ves sels on canals and rivers, the running of railway trains, the transmission of the mails, and the delivery of letters," and pray her Majesty to prevent the assem blage of the higher 'claimer in her''Majesty's Parks on the Lerd's day ; to put a at , p to the playing of the military bands at Windsor, and in Kensington Gardens ; to refuse the sanction to the opening of tee British Museum, Na'ional Gallery, and Crystal Palace, on the Lord's Day; and to adopt other measures for the due observance of that day. The " company " and servants of a hydropathic establishment near Rich mond pray her Majesty to rule her royal influence with all arnbassadore, plenipotentiaries, consuls, vice-consuls, and other representatives and officers of her Majesty i❑ foreign courts and countries, to the end that "they may fully represent her Majesty as a gracious Queen that reverences and sanctifies the Sabbath, and that they may keep holy the Lord's-day in their own bouseholos and habits, abstaining from joinicg or countenancing customs c•mtrary thereto." It alludes to the vast amount of labour still required on the Lord's-day, notwithstanding the improvements that have lately taken place in some particulars, including the discontinuance of Cabinet Councils, Cabinet dinners, and the large re-ort of the higher classes to the parks, and the management of the Exhibition of 1851 ; and further prays her Majesty to use her influence to prevent railway and other travelling, and all similar employment on the Lord's-day. One memorial only is directed against the performance of bands in garrisons on Sunday. A memorial from Bedford quotes the example of Dosuino, King of Lagos, who "ordered a public notice to be written to prevent beating of drums or causing any kind of disturbance on Sunday near places of worship." The great majority of the petitions are from the Wes leyans, the number presented by that body being 98, while there are only 2 from the Established clergy, and but 9 from the Independents. HOP INTELLIGENCE. (From the Maidstone Journal.) MAIDSTONE.—The glorious weather of the last few days has had a most beneficial effect upon the hop plan tation. The midsummer shoot appears to be plentiful, though in some instances rather weakly. The plant continues to keep clear from vermin. . ALLINGTON.—The hop bine is improving, and we do not find quite so much vermin. AYLESFORD.—In this parish we observe a gradual improvement in the hop plantation, the colour and sta mina of the bine is better. BOXLEY.—The hops are growing, but the bine is not so good in colour as it should be at this time of the year. BROUGHTON MONCHELSEA.—The hops in the neigh bourhood look better than they do in many places, but we cannot, judging from present appearances, grow much of a crop, as the plant generally is sickly and grows unkindly. CRANBROOK.—When we take into consideration how very healthy and promising our hop grounds are looking, how fast the bine grows, how well the midsummer shoot is developing itself; and how,bright the colour of the leaf—combined with the fact that since the late thunderstorm the fly has become "small by degrees and beautifully less" so much so that the find ing a single insect on a leaf has been corn - pared to the difficulty of discovering a needle in a load of hay—there is a strong probability that up. wards of half last year's crop may be obtained. Pre sent appearances certainly are favourable to upwards of 200,0001. duty. EDENBRIDGB. —The bine still continues in a growing state, but the vermin is rather on the increase. Fly from 100 to 150 on a leaf, and the small leaves covered with lice. _ _ I ; ARNIIAM.—We cannot speak favourably of the hops in a general way this week. The bi nes , i n some few of our grounds, are in a flourishing state, and in a day or two will reach the tops of the poles. In other planta tions they look spindly and delicate ; all are more ope less beset with the fly. Anything like a full crop can not be reasonably expected. FABLEIGII (EAST AND WEST).—OUr hop bine is un even and platty ; at places it looks well, all things con sidered, but many grounds are weak. HUNTON.—The weather has lately been favourable to the hop bine, which grows stronger, and is of better colour. HANKHUBST.—The bine continues to grow very fast, and not Ko much company as last week. KEMSINC—There is an increase of fly since last week. Some grounds are very foul. Loom—The improvement is rapid the last few days. There are jumpers in great numbers, but the bine will beat them if hot weather continues. MENEWORTH.—The appearance of the bine in this dis trict is favourable, indeed quite as good as is usual at this season of the year. There are many jumpers, but little fly, and should this weather continue there will be a good crop. MANDEL—The bine in some grounds is looking healthy and growing fast, and but little fly ; we have some grounds short of bine and weakly. MALLINQ (EAST AND WicST).—ln these parishes the hops continue to improve, the bine in most of the grounds is of better colour, and the plant altogether is stronger than when we last wrote, but it is the general opinion that our crop, as compared with that of last year, will be a short one, STAPLEHUBST.—The bine still continues to grow very fast •it is over the poles in many gardens. The Enid ' olgailer shoots km begu4 !!!!( 11 9 1 :19asiasolves ; in soon LONDON. (From the Times.) The programme for the re-entry of the Ganda which, on the authority of a contemporary, we publish elsewhere, can hardly be what the public expected, and what Lord Palmerston seemed to have in his mind when he promised that they who heard the drum beat before dawn for the departure of this gallant baud should have the opportunity of seeing it return. That departure was from one of the two centres of this metropolis—the Barracks behind the National Gallery, and thence through the Strand over Waterloo-bridge. Early and dark a. 3 it was an immense multitude escorted the Guards the whole length of that route, accompanying the baud ; and there was scarce a window in the line that had not its hastily- dressed, but not the less enthusiastic spectators. This was through London. That cannot be said of the line indicated iu the programme before us. Vauxhall-bridge, no doubt, is very convenient to her Majesty, and enables her to slide in and out of this metro polis in comparative quiet ; but it is at best a species of back door. The road thence to Buck ingham Palace certainly passes through a district better explored than it was a few years since, thanks to Mr. Cubitt, the enterprising discoverer of the south-west passage to the provinces. But the squares, too vast in space and too grand in plan, are still unfinished, the inhabitants few, and the populace nowhere. They who live there like the region well enough, and there is no place where good houses can be got on more reasonable terms ; but we submit it is not the core and substance of London. Most of the people who wish to profit by Lord Palmer ston's suggestion will have to travel a long way ; and they will be much more numerous than the Guards themselves, for whose con venience, we presume, this suburban route has been selected. Is there any more recondite mean ing in the arrangement ? Are we to gather that, as our army did not succeed in their assault on Sebastopol, therefore they must be content with a minor ovation and a less dignified route ? As for the interruption of the traffic, which may have en tered into the question, it is a matter of calculation that a line of 3,000 men, five or six abreast, cannot anyhow be a mile long, and, marching in ordinary time, cannot take more than twenty minutes in passing any one point. So we really cannot divine the object of the route said to be selected. It seems at least to betray some of that false humility which persons not wanting in self-esteem sometimes prac tise at the expense of their fellow-creatures. Why not do the thing in bold, handsome style ? Even if the soldiers hare to march a mile more, they will like it all the better. It should be considered that we are not overdone with military spectacles. We have hitherto made a point of hiding our army, breaking it into small pieces, and putting it in holes and corners. Our authorities do not even let the public know when a review or an inspection may be expected in Hyde-park, and the first intima tion that even our West-end folks commonly have of these events is being waked by the firing. There is a growing opinion that this has been bad policy ; at all events, it is most inconsistent first to secret our soldiers, and smuggle them in and out of the metropolis as if they were prisoners on their way to trial, and then tell the English they are not a military people. Is there nobody at head-quarters with a soul large enough to do the thing with better grace ? CIVIL SERVICE (EAST INDIA.) —Yesterday WAS pub lished a copy of further correspondence respecting the regulations framed by the Commissioners for the Affairs of India for the examination of candidates for appoi n t. ment to the Civil Service of the East India Company. An extraot of a letter from the Secretary of the India Board to the Secretary of the Court of Directors com mences the paper. This informs the company (as they are already aware) that the President of the Board of Control has determined to waive the second examina tion, so far as concerns the candidates selected last July and those to be selected this July, and to require that the former shall embark for India before the end of August, and the latter before the end of October. Then follows a copy of a letter from the Right Hon. R. V. Smith, M.P., President of the Board of Control, Mr. T. B. Macaulay, the ex-member for Edinburgh. Mr. Macaulay, it appears, at first took it for granted that there were to be two examinations and an interval of probation between them, but, on a full consideration, he arrived at the conclusion that there ought only to be one examination and no period of probation. Mr. Lefevre expressed his concurrence with Mr. Maoaulay's opi nions, and Lord Ashburton signified his assent in con versation. Mr. V. Smith was at first unwilling to alter the existing scheme, but so urgent a request has been seat home by the Government of India for a larger means of complying with it except by suspending for the present the double examination. Accordingly, there will not be a second examination either in this or is the following year (1857.) e V/' 27, • cw, places almost tak'ng each other by the band. 4.4 fly and lice. _4:- - .

TICEHIIRST.—The hop hip() in our best grounds have grown within the last few days, but the weakly grounds make less progress than the stronger ones. UNDER -RIVER, SEAL.—We have a good deal of fly at places about 113 ; the bine, however, grows fast, and looks healthy. WROTHAM.—Our hop plantations are thriving, but they do not get on so well as could be wished, as there are so many fly. The crop this year must, we think, be a small one. WARBLETON.—The rain which fell on the 13th, with warm and bright sunshine since, have lessened the fly, which were rather numerous. The bine in some gardens have well overtopped the poles ; in others they have scarce reached half-way. WATERINGBURY.—Our bine still grows very fast. We have a little fly and few jumpers, but not so many as our neighbouring parishes. We must consider our bine looking very well, but very backward in roost grounds. They are three weeks behind this midsummer from what they were this time last year. WESTERIIAL—the hops are still covered with fly and vermin, and very platty ; fresh fly has come since Sun day in great numbers. YALDING.—In this neighbourhood an improvement is manifest in the hops ; the bine for the most part is strong and looks healthy ; but we have vermin at pre sent. MR. &BARMAN CRAITVFORD AND MR. MIALL'S MOTION. The following letter has been made public among Mr. Miall's constituents : CRAWFORDSBURN, June 2, 1856. My dear Mr. Miall.—l congratulate you very sin. cerely on (what I call) the success of your late motion on the subject of the Irish Church. I call it success, because, although defeated by a majority of votes against you, nevertheless, to have had so large a minority was practically a victory—and there is no manner of doubt as to which sid3 had the victory in the argument. The Irish Established Church was most miser,bly defended .4014111111106* in the debate ; and I do not ob serve th a t any of the great Conservative champions came to its rescue. I think it very absurd to make the Maynooth Grant, or the Regium Donum, the objects of attack, either se parately or conjointly, leaving the Irish State-Church unimpeached in the possession of a monstrous endow ment, drawn from a people the great body of whom, being Roman Catholic or Protestant dissenters of vari• ous sects, abjure all connection with its ordinances. Therefore, I highly approve the course you have taken in raising this question. The Irish Regium Donutn and the Maynooth Grant have been both conferred by the state as a kind of compensation to these different reli gious bodies for the incubus of an Est Iblished Church pace - 1 upon their shoulders. These endowments should all stand or fall togeth r, and no man in my judgment can act a consistent part, in attacking the minor evils and leaving unchallenged the great source of Vie bad princ'ple which has generated them. I regret exceedingly, that the religious bodies on whom these minor endowments bale been conferred should humble themselves by seeking a continuance of them. They cannot enter the lists of a constitutional struggle against such an endowment as the Irish Esta blished Church, R o long as they continue to taint their hands by grasping these miserable bribes to insure their silence, and thus fastening Lhe false props to a falling edific which their acceptance of these grants has supplied. Iregret to observe that the movement which you have so honourably put in action, has not yet been met by an adequate measure of support in Ireland. I have no doubt it is caused by the operation of the corrupting in fluences of these minor grants—no men or people are in a condition to attack a grievance unless they come to the work with clean hands. So long as the Roman Catholics accept the Maynooth Grant, and the Presby terians the Regium Donum, they cannot come before Parliament to claim the great principle of religious liberty on which alone the abatement of the State- Church can be demanded ; but I confidently hope that the d,ly may not be far distant when they will stand forward in the cause, unshackled by these miserable grants of hush-money, to assert the rights of Christian freemen. lam exceedingly rejoiced you have taken up this question of the Established Church of Ireland. It comes with double power from an English representative, and I feel more particularly pleased that my successor in the borough of Rochdale sh , iuld have so ably advocated a question in which, when in Parliament, I took a deep interest, in correspondence with the feelings of that most noble constituency whom I had the honour of serving for eleven years ; and I may truly say, it is an honour for any man to be selected by them to fill the post of their representative. _ I am, my dear sir, Yours faithfully, WILLIAM SH U IM N CRAWFORD.
