THE SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA in 1 COUNCIL having confirmed the. following RULES promulgated by the Governor-Generel of India in Council regarding LEAVE of ABSENCE to COVENANTED CIVIL SERVANTS, publishes the same in supercession of all previous Rules and Orders on the subject. These Rules will take effect from the Ist July, 1868, and are not intended to apply to Covenanted Civil Servants, who are Members of the Councils of the Governor-General, or of the Governors of Bombay and Madras, or who are Judges of a High Court. RULES REGARDING LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO COVENANTED CIVIL SERVANTS. DEFINITIONS. I. In the following Rules— " Actual Service" includes the period during which an officer is on duty, also periods spent on privilege and sub sidiary leave, and periods during which an officer, not on leave, may be out of employ on subsistence allowance in "Extraordinary Leave" means any leave granted other wise than under these Rules. " Long Extraordinary Leave" means extraordinary leave extending beyond a period of three mouths. "'Long Furlough" means furlough extending beyond a period of three months. " Salary" includes acting allowances. An Officer's "Station" means that station to which he stands appointed, or such other place as the Government to which he is subordinate may determine. CHAPTER I. FURLOUGH. 11. The maximum period of furlough, which can ba granted to any officer during the whole period of his ser vice is limited to six years. 111. Subject to the above limit, one year's furlough shall be placed to the credit of each officer for every four years of actual service. IV. No furlough shall be taken before the completion of eight.years' actual service, except under Rule VIII. V. Furlough shall not be repeated until three years from the date of the last return from long extraordinary leave, or long furlough, except under RuIeVIII. Leave taken under Chapters 11. and 111., but no other leave, shall be reckoned as part of the said three years. VI. The maximum termAttugh, to be taken at any one time shall be two yea 4. VII. Except as hereinnftd? !Provided, id - officer When on furlough shall retain a lien on his subStantive appoint ment, or on an appointment of limiter character and not less salary, and he shall be granted allowances at the rate of 50 per cent. of his average salary for the previous three years, or for the period which has elapsed since his last return from long furlough, or long extraordinary leave, if that period be less than three years. In calculating such average, the time spent and the allowances drawn under any leave, excepting privilege leave under Chapter 11., shall be omitted. Provided that no officer on furlough shall draw more than £1,200 or less than X. 300 per annum. VIII. Under Medical Certificate— (a.) Furlough may be taken on the above-mentioned conditions, without reference to the amount at credit under Rule 111. _ . (b.) Furlough for a period not exceeding ono year may be taken, even if less than three years have elapsed since the last return from long extraordinary leave or long fur lough. When on furlcugh under this clause an officer will not retain a lien on his appointment, and will be en titled only to subsistence allowance, unless ho has com pleted six months actual service since his last return from long extraordinary leave or long furlough, and there re main some leave to his credit under Rule 111., in which case the officer will retain a lion on his appointment, and will draw aLowances as calculated under Rule VII., until that credit be exhausted, but in no case for a period ex ceeding one year. (c.) Furlough taken without medical certificate, or under clause (a) of this Rule, may bo extended beyond fwo years for a period not exceeding one year. When on fur lough under this clause an officer will not retain a lien on his appointment, and will be entitled only to subsistence allowance. IX. Furlough taken or extended under Rule VIII. is subject to the prov,ision of Rule 11. X. Furlough taken in India will be reckoned from the date of the officer quitting his station to the date of his return thereto. If urlough taken out of India will be reckoned from the date of embarkation to the date of return. _ In the event of the furlough being taken partly in India, and partly out of India, the commencement and termina tion of the furlough will be determined by the above Rules, according as the furlough begins or ends in or out of India. _ XL For the interval elapsing between departure from his station and the commencement of furlough, and be tween the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at his station, an officer shall be allowed subsidiary leave not ordinarily exceeding in each case thirty days. During those periods his allowances: will be calculated in the same way as his furlough allowances, but without limitation as to maximum and minimum. Provided that, if the officer has, under these Rules, lost his lien on his appointment, he shall draw subsistence allowance of his rank. Subsidiary leave shall count as service and residence. XII. Applictions for furlough will in all cases be sub mitted to the Government to which the applicant is sub ordinate, and will be dealt with in such manner as the Governor-General of India in Council may from time to time prescribe. XIiI. Subject to the exigencies of the service, both as regards the number of furloughs available at any ono time, and as regards individual applications, of which exigencies the Government of India, Madras, or Bornbav, as the case may be, shall be exclusively the judge, furloughs will be granted under these Rules. - XIV. All applications for furlough under medical certi ficate, in accordance with these Rules, will be granted without restriction. XV. lf, owing to the exigencies of the service, it may be necessary to place any limit on the number of officers who may be absent on furlough at the same time, applica tions not supported by medical certificate will be granted in the following order : The applicant to whose credit the greatest amount of furlough remains under Rule 111. shall have the preference. If two or more applicants are on an equality in this respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant, whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the case of an officer who has not taken long extraordinary leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India, and in the case of an officer who has taken long extraor dinary leave or long fu r l ough, from the date o f his last return from such leave or furlough. If two or more applicants are p egual in both respects, the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada tion List. XVI. The term of residence qualifying for pension shall be 21 years, but no leave, except privilege leave and sub sidiary leave, shall count as residence. XVII. The term of service qualifying for pension shall bo 25 years. CHAPTER 11. PRIVILEGE LEAVE. XVIII. Subject to the exigencies of the State, an officer who has completed eleven months' continuous duty may take privilege leave for ono month without deduction from his salary, retaining a lien on his appointment, whether substantive or officiating. Provided that, in the case of his holding an officiating appointment, such lien and his acting allowance will cease on the resumption of charge by the officer to whom the substantive appointment belongs. XLX. In the same manner, and under the same condi tions, two or three months' privilege leave may be taken when an officer has completed continuous duty of twenty two or twenty-three months respectively. XX. Privilege leave may, at the discretion of the local Government, bo taken in separate instalments. No second instalment shall be taken until after the completion of six months' continuous duty from the expiry of the first in stalment. In this case the eleven months qualifying for fresh privilege leave will be reckoned from the expiry of the first instalment, the period of the second instalment being omitted from the calculation. Provided that the whole privilege leave taken at any one time shall not exceed three months, and that no accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall bo admitted. XXI. If an officer shall over-stay his privilege leave, he shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining so absent; and, if ho shall so continue absent for more than one week, his office shall become vacant. XXII. Privilege leave shall be reckoned as residence and service. CHAPTER SPECIAL LEAVE. XXIII. Special leave, on urgent private affairs, may be granted at the discretion of the local Government for a period not exceeding six months. In respect of retention of a lieu on appointment, of allowances drawn during the leave, and of subsidiary leave, the conditions of special leave shall be the same as those prescribed for furlough. Special leave shall not bo reckoned as residence. XXIV. Rule XXI. shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to an officer overstaying spacial leave. XXV. Special leave may be repeated without allow ances after intervals of at least six years' actual service. CHAPTER GENERAL. XXVI. Furlough, privilege, leave, and special leave shall not be taken as such in continuation of each other; but, if an officer absent on one of these classes of leave be allowed to change it for another, the whole period of his absence shall be held to be under the class of leave for which it was changed. XXVII. Subject to considerations of State, there will b 3 no restriction as to the places where an officer may reside when on leave. XXVIII. Leave allowance shall be payable monthly, if payment is taken in India, and quarterly if payment is taken in England. CHAPTER V. TEMPORARY RULES. XXIX. Whatever aggregate amount out of the three, years' furlough and three years' sick leave, under the Rules until now in force, at present remains to be taken by an officer under the said Rules, shall remain to be taken by him under Rules now promulgated. XXX. Any officer now in the service shall, when next proceeding on furlough, elect whether he will draw allow ances at the higher minimum rate of £5OO per annum (not exceeding his total salary at the time). If he shall so elect, ho will, in any future furlough, be limited, as to allowance, to the lower maximum rate of £l,OOO per annum. XXXI. Any officer now absent on l eave, w h o h as no appointment, may, on his return, and until he again holds an appointment carrying equal pay to that of the substan tive appointment which ho last held, draw the subsistence allowance of his rank, together with 75 per cent. of the pay of any appointment in which he shall officiate. Pro vided that the total salary so drawn by him shall not ex ceed tho pay of the appointment in which he is officiating. This Rule shall apply to any officer who may have already returned from furlough. XXXII. Any officer now absent on furlough, or under medical certificate, may elect whether the remainder of his leave shall be taken under these Rules from the date of their promulgation. If ho shall so elect, Rule XXX. shall not apply to him. RULES REGARDING ACTING ALLOWANCES. I. An officer holding a substantive appointment, and officiating in an appointment of a higher grade or class, shall draw acting allowance calculated at 30 per cent. on the first '2,000 rs., and 20 per cent. on the remainder of the pay of the appointment in which he is officiating. Provided that, if the acting allowance so calculated do not amount to two-thirds of the difference bet Ween the pay of the two appoint►nen•s, it shall be raised to two thirds. Provided further, that in no case shall the whole salary so drawn exceed the pay of the appointment in which the officer is officiating. IL An officer holding no substantive, but only an offi ciating, appointment, shall, subject to the provisoes in Rule 1., draw, in addition to the subsistence allowance of his rank, 50 per cent. of the pay of the appointment in which he is officiating. 111. In the case of an officer officiating in an appoint ment the pay of which is progressive, his acting allow ances shall be calculated on the mean pay of the said appointment, provided that the whole salary so drawn shall not exceed the minimum pay bf the said appoint ment.

The English people have been lately undergoing the process of conversion to a great extent. Vigor ous and earnest missionaries have been at work among them, and strange creeds have been propa gated with astonishing tact and perseverance — creeds which, while we were loudly condemning them, have none the less steadily made head against every opposition. The old landmarks of politics and morality are being rapidly swept away by the tide of advancing intelligence; the old [alphabet and the well-thumbed grammar of orthodoxy have been entirely superseded by new text-books. We have learnt that nothing is what we thought it was ; that the old names, so familiar to us, with all their associations, the odours of the past that still hang about them, are all meaningless gibberish, and there is nothing left but for those who are young enough to set to and begin all over again, and for those who are too old to learn, to lie down and die in their old ignorance, still cherishing their old prejudices as the Truth. This is no doubt a very satisfactory state of things, and a highly gratifying evidence of our national progress ; but itlis sad, very sad, for those who have tried to carry the past with them into the present, and would fain believe that they can carry with them some part of it at least into the future. To learn that a Tory Government means democratic revolution is a terrible shock to these archaic minds, upon which bursts at the same time the revelation that the Honourable House of Commons is a sort of human bear-pit, with the beasts fighting for the bones ; and that the high and mighty House of Lords is but a School for Abuse. But there still remained one stronghold of their faith : Church and State were both tottering from the open assaults of their foes and the secret underminings of their professed 6iends, but that peril beyond price, British Morality, still remained intact ; our mothers, our wives, our daughters, and our sisters were still miracles of purity ; Society 'A , as gay perhaps, but always proper ; our amusements were innocent, our dramas were still purged of all impropriety by the fatherly supervision of a Christian and a Lord:Chamberlain. Those horrid, wicked novels, and those more horrid and more wicked plays, in which everything good and true was turned into ridicule, and everything impure and false exalted and glorified, were written and read only by the French or some other dreadful fo reigners. They would never be tolerated in this country ; the men and women would rise en masse and hiss such pieces off our boards had anybody dared to present them. Alas ! the good souls who believed this had not marked the signs of the times ; the great work of conversion was quietly going on under their noses ; missionaries from without were 4d. bTAIVIPED 51 at work, aided by thcs3 within, who hal long be lieved in secret, and. now were not ashamed to pro fess their faith in public. Pass we over the steps by which the glorious re formation advanced : how caterers for public amuse ment cleverly availed themselves of the progress of education, and proved the utility of our public schools by showing that their pupils really did ma nage to take away with them enough classical learn ing to know who Venus, and Mar,s and Bacchus, and Jupiter were, and to appreciate the subtle humour of a pretty impudent girl, representing one of these deities, kicking her legs- about in a breakdown. Then the Music halls were ele vating the masses ; and comic songs, in which vulgarity just stopped short of indecency, had become household words among us. Finally came the Paris Exhibition, and thousands of our countrymen and countrywomen rushed to Paris; they must of course live there " ong Francy,"—s o, just as they drank claret at breakfast and took more chocolate than was good for them, so did they go and see some of those naughty pieces of Offen bach, of which they had heard the music, but not the words. Many were in raptures. " Schneider was delightful ! so refined with all her vulgarity— so full of' sheet;,' as she called it, pronouncing the word with all the point which utter ignorance of its meaning could lend. Others confessed that she was very clever, but did not think it would do over in England ; others pretended to like it, as they did absinthe, but the after-taste of both, they confessed to themselves, was not clean or pleasant ; a very few sari what both actress and piece really were, and said' nothing. But the seed was it only needed perseverance to reap the harvest. Bri- tish morality was already on the wane. The new creed would find plenty of converts in chaste Eng land if a proper missionary could be procured. As the envoy is sent with presents to the doomed barbarian, merely to prepare the way for the general and his army, so was Finette sent before the all conquering Schneider. The mission was, on the whole, successful. The stalls were crowded during the performance, and she reaped many honours. What if some voices were heard in execration of this recherche remnant of classical times ? Finette paid, and it was evident that the sect was large and influential enough to warrant the despatch of the missionary-in -chief. A ml so Schneider came, and appeared first as the Grand Duchess of Gerolsteiu, a vulgar edition of Catherine of Russia—appeared before the most brilliant audience that :ever welcomed any aspirant to the favour of the British public. Royalty, and every grade of the aristocracy except the spiritual peers, were present; and even they might have been present in spirit, if not in the flesh. The great apostle of the new creed was on the first night rather modest ; she restrained somewhat the freedom of her gestures,and only introduced a few pieces of superflu ous vulgarity, out of compliment to the English taste. The experiment was thoroughly successful ; the pro fessors of the new creed were in ecstacies ; the sternly decorous matrons, the bashful, innocent maidens of England had received their great apostle with the most perfect cordiality. Alas, for the blind confidence of mankind ! The great cause was destined to be betrayed by its greatest champion. Determined that her new converts should have their eyes opened to what they were really worshipping, she gave free vent to her enthusiasm ; she carried shamelessness to its extremest limits, and abso lutely frightened away some of the more timid spec tators, who were on the point of falling down be fore the new divinity. This was the first check which the victorious proselytisers received. It is difficult to speak too highly of Schueider's honesty, and of her noble truthfulness. She could lend herself to no artifice. La Belle Ilelene gave her the opportunity which La Grande Ducitesse but imperfectly afforded. She seems to have said to herself, " These foolish English have been told to fall down and worship me ; they have been told that lam full of esprit,' of verve,' and what not ; that they really ought to bring their daughters, their sisters, their wives, to see me. Poor fools I they always do what they are told. They shall see me without any mist of fascination, without any veil of elegance to hide the real coarseness of my per formance ; they do not understand the language in which I play, therefore I will make my meaning plain by my gestures. What before I suggested, I will now describe in action. They shall not be able to say that, dazzled by my wit or by my grace, they did not clearly see what it was, they were applauding." Bravely she fulfilled her purpose. It was pos sible even to invest such a vulgar " travestie" as La Belle Helene with a sort of spurious refine ment which might have blinded people to the gross indecency of the plot and dialogue. But Schneider resisted the temptation ; she showed to the noble and the pure ladies there assembled such a portrait as probably they had never before had the oppor tunity of admiring. Well might the parents and husbands steal doubtful glances at one another's faces ; well might their daughters and wives seek refuge behind an astonished stare, or a sickly smile of idiotic vacancy. But we must not wrong the audience by inferring that such conduct was at all general. No 1 there were scores of women who watched with eager and delightful faces every move ment of La Belle Helene. Such gigantic strides has the new religion made in this age of enlightened progress ! It is possible that the new Gospel of In decency may not be so popular as its predecessor. We shall owe it to the courageous frankness of Mdlle. Schneider if it dawns upon the minds of the ornaments of Society that they really will be com pelled to blush if they go on assisting at such talentede representations. Royalty was absent on Monday night, but on Tuesday night they shed the glory of their presence once more on the goddess of the nineteenth century. Let the heads of families devote their holidays to the study of so interesting a religion. Let us by all means awake and be joyful ; let us forget the musty precepts of purity and de cency which we have been taught in our dreary old churches. Let us grasp the beautiful creed, let us worship the beautiful goddess that Imperial France has sent us. But, for heaven's sake, let us hear no more of British Morality. The Berlin correspondent of a contemporary, writing on the 23rd inst., says :—" The appoint ment of Mr. Petro as her Majesty's secretary of embassy at Berlin has given general satisfaction throughout the diplomatic body. Though young in years, Mr. Petre is old in the public service. Some sixteen years ago he was chargé d'affaires at Naples, and his despatches, which were published by order of Parliament, excited great attention at the time. Mr. Petre belongs to a noble family of that name, and is connected with all the great Roman Catholic aristocracy of England. The Hon. F. Plunkett, son of the Earl of Fingall, has been named senior secretary in the chancery of the same embassy. He also, though young, has been many years in the public service, and is con sidered one of the most efficient second secretaries on the Foreign Office list." The Paris Liberte of Sunday publishes in con spicuous type, and under the heading " Latest In telligence," this statement :—" Our London corre spondent makes us acquainted with the following fact, which appears to U 3 worthy of attention Dr. Pusey, head of the Anglican Church party which bears his name, has just abjured the Angli can faith and been converted to Roman Catholi cism. This example has been inuneliately fol lowed by Dr. Hamilton, Bishop of Salisbury, who has also gone over to Catholicism, giving up an income of £5,000 a year.' " The newspapers have been lately teeming with refer ences to economy in tea by co-operation. Horniman and Co. have for 30 years co- operated through Agents to supply tea on more advantageous terms than by the ordinary channel; their tea reaches the consumer in the same pure state as it leaves the grocer; as it is secured in packets. •0 ROYAL A.ROJIZOLOGICAL INSTITUM The annual congress of the Royal Arclmological lueti• tote of Great Britain and Ireland was opened on Tuesday at Lancaster Castle, Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P., Chan cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, presiding, and being supported by a very able and efficient local committee. The archaeologists have cast their lines in pleasant places this year, for, independent of the historical associations connected with Lancaster and its castle, the locality is sur rounded on all sides with " remarkable historical sites and ancient memorials," to visit which is one of the main objects of these provincial meetings. Then Lancaster is, as it were, the gate to the most picturesque and beautiful scenery in all England, being situate on the very verge of the English Lake District, while in strong contrast there is on the other side the teeming industrial population of cottonopolis, and Morecombe Bay is in its environs. The institute will sojourn at Lancaster for a full week, and the notables of the district are combining to make the sojourn pleasant by invitations to soirees and dejeaners, as affording a wel come relief to the professed objects of the gathering. A programme of the intended doings of the week has been sketched out, which, however, of course, is subject to alteration; bat, as at present arranged, on Thursday there is an excursion to Dalton Castle, Peel Castle, and Furness Abbey, where a lecture is to be delivered, and the ruins are to be described by Mr. E. Sharpe. The Mayor of Barrow also on this day entertains the members at lunch at Furness Abbey. In the evening the annual meeting will be held. On Friday there is a meeting of sections, more excursions, and a conversazione in the even. ing. Saturday and Monday are devoted to excursions to Severn Hall, Bolton Abbey, and other historical places, and on Tuesday the congress will close. REPRESENTATION OF THE IFORkING CLASSES. On Tuesday evening a special meeting of the General Committee and delegates from branches of the London Working Men's Association was held at the offices in Bolt court, Fleet-street, to consider the measures best adapted to secure a working-class representation in the new Parliament. Mr. George Potter occupied the chair. The chairman said he thought the time had now arrived for the working men to take action if they desired to obtain a direct representation of labour in Parliament, by the return of at least a few bond fide working men. The subject was surrounded with great difficulty, but not so great but that it might be surmounted by a united effort upon the part of the working men themselves. He thought that effort should be made, and an appeal at once made to the trades and other organisations of working men to take action upon the matter. There was upwards of three months yet before the elections could come on, and there was ample time to perfect an organisation by which at least a dozen working men might be returned for as many boroughs. Two resolutions would be submitted for consideration, which, if adopted, would be initiatory of the movement. Mr. Packer then moved the following resolutions "That, in the opinion of this committee, it is absolutely necessary, in the interests of the industrial classes, that there should be a direct representation of labour in the new Parliament, and they therefore recommend that a united effort should be made by the working men of all sections, but especially by trades unionists, to secure the return to Parliament at the ensuing general election of at least a dozen bona fide working men." 2. " That with the view of ascertaining how far the various trades councils, trades societies, and other working-class organi sations are disposed to co-operate in a movement for the purpose expressed in the above resolution, a circular be issued to those councils, societies, and organisations, requesting their opinion upon the subject, and of the pro. priety of holding a Labour Parliament early in August, for the purpose of selecting the twelve candidates and the twelve boroughs, and to devise the best means of raising a, fund to defray the necessary expenses of the elections." ` Mr. Harris seconded the resolution. After some discus. sion respecting the details of the proposed movement, on which it was urged that if only six out of the twelve can didates were returned, a great object would be gained, the resolutions were adopted, and ordered to be sent at once to the various organisations named in the resolutions. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro. ceedings. 7 . '_' `= / L i 4-7 ' c . THE PUBLIC HEALTH. It appears from the return issued by the authority of the Registrar-General, that in the week ending on Stur• day, 4,354 births and 4,050 deaths were registered in London and in thirteen other large towns of the United Kingdom. The annual rate of mortality was 33 per 1,000 persons living. The annual rate of mortality . last week was 31 per 1,000 in London, 22 in Edinburgh, and 23 in Dublin ; 25 in Bristol, 38 in Birmingham, 37 in Liverpool, 40 in Man .chester, 35 in Salford, 39 iu Sheffield, 40 in Bradford, 35 in Leeds, 34 in Hull, 20 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 37 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 29 per 1,000 during the week ending the 13th instant, when the mean tem. perature was o'9 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the, same week in London, where the rate was 27. The mortality from diarrhcea shelved a further increase during last week in nearly all the large English towns, and was at the annual rate of 4 per 1,000 in Newcastle. upen-Tyne, 6 in Bristol, 7 in London, 9 in Liverpool and Sheffield, 10 in Manchester and Salford, 11 in Hull, 12 in Leeds, and, highest, 14 per 1,000 in Birmingham. In London the temperature in the shade rose to 96'6 deg. Fahrenheit, and the mean temperature of the week was 69 . 2 deg., but there was no approach to these high temperatures in the other towns, the highest recorded in the shade being 91'6 deg., and the highest mean of the week 64 . 4 deg., both in Sheffield. It will be observed that in the English towns the lowest mortality from diarrhcea occurred in Newcastle, where the mean temperature of the week was only 60•3 deg., and lower than in any of the other towns. In London the births of 980 boys and 1,023 girls, in all 2,003 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years 1858-67 the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,062. The deaths of 945 males and 940 females, in all 1,885 persons, were registered in London during the week. It was the thirtieth week of the year, and the average - number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,575; The deaths in the present return exceed by 310 the estii, mated amount, and are more by 243 than the number recorded in the preceding week. The deaths from zymotit diseases were 800, the corrected average number being 631. Seven deaths from small-pox, 35 from measles, 47 from scarlatina, 10 from diphtheria, 45 from whoop ing cough, and 57 from typhus were registered. Fifty-eight deaths by choleraic diarrhcea or summer cholera were registered in the week ; 33 were children under 1 year of age, 8 aged 1 year, 1 aged 3 years, 2 aged 5 years. 442 persons died of diarrhcea, of whom 353 were children under 1 year of age, 49 were 1 year and less than 2 years, and 23 were of persons aged 20 years and upwards. What is required in cases of diarrhcea or summer cholera, now frequent, is immediate rational treatment. Neglect of the early stage in children and in the aged is death. The people should be visited and informed of this. The health officer of Manchester has proposed special measures to meet the emergency, and it will be satisfactory to learn that some such proposal is adopted by the health officers of London and of all the large towns. Eleven persons died from sunstroke. On Tuesday a failure was announced at Liver) pool of a foreign film who have been speculating in cotton (of which they hold 8,000 bales), and whose liabilities are expected to reach £150,000. THE HOP CROP. —The Maidstone Journal states that during the past fortnight general complaints have been made of the state of the hop grounds in that neigh bourhood, and particularly in the Weald. The red spider and the dry weather combined have brought grounds which shewed a probable crop of 15 cwt. an acre to nearly a total blight, and another week of the present weather will entirely do away with any prospect of a crop. At Staplehurst especially the ravages of the red spider have been something extraordinary—indeed, throughout the Weald, the prospects which seemed favourable, are now gloomy. The Sussex Advertiser says the reports from the hop districts are almost in one unvarying key. The con tinued drought has told upon the plant. It is stationary or going backward, and the burr is falling off and the bine becoming sickly and yellow. That is the almost universal report, and everybody predicts that the estimate of the crop made a week or two ago must be materially reduced. COLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— On Tuesday a collision took place on the Great Western Railway, at a spot about a quarter of a mile west of Reading Junction. It seems that a narrow-guage coal train was standing on the up line when a broad-guage goods train ran into it, doing damage to a considerable amount. Both the up and down lines were completely blocked. A number of men were at onca sent to the scene of the accident, bat it wcs a work of about six hours to clear the down line, the debris being so great, and the wheels being jammed together. Fortunately no one was hurt, and the passenger traffic was not much delayed, as the trains were worked over the line first cleared, from the west junction to the Reading station. The cause of the accident is at present inexplicable, but it will no doubt form the subject of inquiry. Mr. Besant, the divisional superintendent, with Mr. Peach, the station-master, were, quickly on the spot, and everything was done that coup be to clear the line with as little delay as Possible.
