TILE 'LIBE4tALITY ON VI *ZAST INDIA COMPANY 'YeeErlay at this Beard, a fine strong looking man, 'with his arm slightly woandeti, who steed thathe hadbeen SDI io• in the East India'Cmpany's service, from whela he 'had been discharged, and had to'apply for relief. He stated - thA h? had b'eu sent totiverpool under the impreEsi,n tb,:t . the pension to which under the Company's regula'iou the is entitled to, v'z.,l:s peace a-day, was to be paid him .by the agent here, and pr.)duced papers to that eff ct. The ItoarJ rap eased their astonishment “, the ind,fiaile in structions of so invßori.ant a company and the clerk was instruc , ed to write to the proper auth..rities -in London upon the subject. THE G_43'E PORTER AND KIS W;P7,, The CLEttis stltA, that there was a letter on the file from tha wife of the gate porter, (Krorwill) but the case "had a'raady been inquired into, and Mrs. Kennedy had not th n coma forward to prove her case. Mr. LuNr thou;ht that there had been an order passed - that she sirup come and live at the lodge with her husband, and she ,said sha would come, but why don't Ehe ? . . . Mr. Roscois said, as the matter had aireidy been invest'. gated, he did not see what the B)ard had to do with it. Mr. LuriT thought it should bs takea before a com mittee. Mr. Su.4w said, if the Board intended to take the matter up 'at all, they should do it themselv-s, as it was of no use referring it to tl'e Special Officers Committee, as all that commitre, (-mild never be got together. The Cult : Refer it to the "Visiting C ymmittee. The CLERK : There is a stan6iog order against it. If it is refered to any cpmmittee it most be to the Special Com snittee, but the whole cas3 has been gone into three Limes already. Mr. SHAW: Bat there is a charge against an (facer (Mr. Gough), as well as against the hu, band. tAYLOR : L t US it quire into it. Mr. LUNT: There are s:veral charges in the letter which c4ight to be inquired into. The charge against Mr. Gough has not been h• ard. The azaii.: Yes, it has. Mr. Shaw has stated that the c9nrnitte.. could near be got together. A l l lean say is this, that there has never been an attempt to get theta together, but it has succeeded. Mr. Pirrs: I will move_ that no notice be taken of the letter. Mr. ROBERTS : I second it. I.uNT : I will move that it be referred to the Visiting Committee for them to report upon it. Th. Board divided, when, on the eastirg vote of the chairman, the letter WAS referred to the Visiting Corn -mittee. THE WILED V. DR. NEVINS. At the last meeting of the Board, on the motion of Mr. Shaw, the Clerk was requested to write to Dr. Navin,, reqae.ting him to attend personally on all c.s s of mid wif,-ry that occurred in the workhouse, and in answer to that application the following letter was read :- 25, Oxford-street, Liverpool, September 7, 1857. ' To the West Dcrhy Board of Guardians. Gentlemen,—l beg to acknowledge your resolution of the 2nd ult., requesting me-to attend upon all the ordinary con finements in the Lying-in-Ward. It will give me plea•ure to comply with any suggestion of the Board for promoting the benefit of the iscle, and I shall be happy to co-operate with -you in making an arrangement by which this may be accom- Vished. It is a duty for which I was not engaged when first appointed medical officer to the workhouse, and the Board is aware that the sick are already more numerous than 1 can attend to properly without assistance. 1 cannot, therefore, undertake the attendance myself, nor can I ask the gentleman wto is assisting me to undertake the fatigue of attending on an average fifty confinements a year without making a considerable • addition to his stlary. You are aware that for nearly s . x months I have provided the extra attendance necessary for the sick, a1ti..,11 I have Vein unable to dispense with even during the summer, the number of sick having scarcely fallen below 200 in the healt , i - te. part of the season. I feel assured that it is not the wish of the guardians to allow the'r medical officer to bear the burden of providing the assistance necessary from the increase of sieitnt ss in the workhouse, and I leave the matter in your hands, with confidence that you will make a far and equitable arrangement for providing. the attendance which you wish the sick poor to receive.—l am, gentlemen, yours faithfuliy, J. BIRKBECK NEVINS. Mr. Prrrs: B9fore the Board discuss the letter I wish to ask the Oi r;c a question. It is this—was there a week's no ice given of the resolution that wai• adopted last week, which notice is required by the standing orders of the 1)..a,r I aw Board? The CLARK: No. Mr. PITTeI : Then, such be'rig the case, I ask why was the rtsolutiAi entered on the proceedings. It was only carried by the casting vote of the Cha•rman. As that rc - solution was iregia'ar, I move that it be struck out, parti cu:a►ly as thtr- bed been a resolution adopted previously to a contrary effec►, which o•ight to have been rescinded before the other one could b I put. Se CLERK : But the res ilution of Fist week has been acted on—l have written to Dr. Nevins, and he has answered it. Mr. PITTS: There should have been notice given of such. I move that it be s'ruck cut. The CIAIRK: But all +hat was asked has been dine. Mr. PIITS : But I have my reasons for wiihing to have that last resolution struck cur. The et.iltK : 1 don't see what end is to be gained by it. It will only delay the proceedings for a week whila notice is given. X:. TerLoa : I move that we go into the subject at once. Mr SHAW : The !Isolation of the 10th of Jaly is oth+ng—it was pgair.st the law. The resolution we p,ss.a.d last week was to do semi-thing; it was to call upon 11e medical officer to do his duty. By the Poor taw Load he is eocopellPd to attend to all cases of midwifery. and whatever opp;sition may be.made to it, it must come enund to that at the end. In that let'er Dr. Nt , vias states that ho was not engag , d to do it, but he well knew that such is nit the case. Dv, he would take the opinioi of the Clerk en the else. Was D. Nevins, when he was ap,sein'ed, appointed to attend the midwifery casts in the house Toe CLERK : No doubt of it. Mr. TAYLOR : Thrn Dr. Nerirs is shirking - from the duties he was PppAntel to perform. I have co hesitation in so)inz that he must do P. Mr. Pins: Bu: there was a midwife employed before Le was appointed, Mr. S UAW said he woul.l suggEst a ease. Suppose a child bhould die—the medical offi,t3r would not be exonerated from the respmsit,il ty. I wiih that the reso lution should be altered, and that in all css.s the medical offi.ler should be sent fo-, and that eventually must bo done. Tee Rev. Mr: TATTERSALL said he must say that he had a very stronz feeling on the point, as it had reference to the poor. For his part he did not see why a poor person should not have as much at ention paid to her, at such times, as the wife of any member at that Board. He was sure that neither hims3lf, nor any member of the Board would like to have a midwife attend upon their own wives, then why have one attend upon the poor? He knew there was a difference as to the expense. but they were appointed to look after the poor, and he thought that they should not be doing their duty as Christians or gentlemen, if they were to do different to other persons, to what they would if it was themselves or their wives. Oa the last cec4sion ho had voted with Mr. Shaw, that the medical cfil tr. should attend all such cases, and he did not see any thing to alter that vote, but, at the same time, Dr. Nevins had stated that he was not appointed to do that duty. No doubt he believed that he was not. but now that he 'ties called upon to do it, he thought that it was only rigir. that some addition should be made to his present salary to enab!e him to do it. He would ask Mr. Shaw whether he Clad any objection to an increase in the salary ? Mr. Srutiv: Certainly. Before the Poor-law InTector, Dr. Nevins was asked whether he expected to receive the same salary after Toxteth-park was separated from the Union ac he had done before, and he distir.etly said he did not. Taerefore. he must expect a decrease in his salary 'ether than an kereuse. fir, PITTS Urged ittal ,the matter should be referred to the Visiting Committee, for them to report oa the duties Dr. Nevins bad to perform. Mr. SHAW objected to the adoption of such a cottrie. Mr. TAYLOR also opposed the referring it to a committee, on the ground that the committee did not do their buiineeis in public, but in private, and nothing was known, as to what was done at th , se hole and corner meetings. He was there to do the public business, and he liked the public to know what was done. Mr. WZNISLEY supported the referring it to a com mittee. The CHAIRMAN wished to know if it was coTrect that the Poor Law B )ard had refused to sanction the employment of midwives. The CLIIIIK : 'they have. After some further e.nversation. in the curse of which it was suggested that the Clerk should write to the Puir Law Board on the subject, Mr. TAYLOR rose to address the }hard, but was intfr rnpted by Mr. Pats, who called out " Spcke, s?oke." Yes, said Mr. Taylor, but I am here as well as Mr. Pitts, and I will not be put down by such an it,dividual as that, for we all know him toe well. Ho don't like to hear what I have get to say. I mean to say it is no use referring it a committee, for there only a few words is said ne the sub ject, and there is an end of and it is never brought before the Board. Mr. SHAM said, suppising it was referred to a com mittee', they could not make an order that was illegal, or acqlost the order uf the Poor law Board. 11.? r. ABRAHAM. , expresscd himself quite ashamed of th- Board in getting into such p3fsonal recrimi nations, and urged that the sobjtc7 shou'd be referred to the committee for tt e n to bring it before the Board in a tangible shay. • Mr. Sitraw again contecded that the Board must compel Dr. Nevins to do his duty; and, after he had done tha . , then would be the time t come forward and ask for an in ert aae in his salary. The Board then decided that the letter should be refer red to the Visit - ng Committee, for them to report thereon at a future rcee ing. THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVtRPOOL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1857. THE VALUATION OF THZ UNION. A lett-r was read irow Mr. Inspect,r Mainvvaring, stating that he had appointed Messra. Atkinson, architews, of York, to make a valuation of the Workhouse, the Hospi tql, and other property belonging to the Union, with the cost of the erection of each establishment, with a view of nil:king an estimate of what Proportion the Tcxteth Park guardians were to pay of those expanses. Several gu - irdians exp - weed it as their opinion that a local valuer shook' hove been employed, and it was ordered that the Clerk should write to the Inspector, requesting him to reconsider that portion o his letter. WHAT HAS BZCC•ITS OF 11111 OFFICIAL DoCUMICNTS ? Mr. SHAW, seeing the chairman of the Visiting Commit tee present, he wished to esk him if he had got any document which bad been sent to the committee, but which had not been brought b fore them ? Mr. WENSLEY: I have no documents. If I ever received one, I handed it over to the chairman of the Officers' Committee. . Mr. SHAW : That won't do. Did you receive a letter complaining of the conduct of an °Eller of the union, and which letter has never been produced before the Board? Mr. WEN3LEY I know of no document, Mr. SHAW: D d you receive one ? Mr. WENSLICY : I believe there was one, but I do not know its c utter tg. Mr. SHAW : To whom did you give it ? Mr. WEINLEr : To either the chairman or the deputy chairman of the committee. Mr. SHAW : To which ? Mr. WaNsLey: I do not know ; but it had better stand over until those gentlemen are present, and they will be able to tell you about ir. Fur my part, I had forgotten all about it. Mr. SHAW thought such proceedings very irregular. The thing had been standing over three or four months, and nothing was heard of it, and would not have been if he h-d not asked the question. He went on to charge Mr. Wensley with a breach of trust in not giving the letter up when he was cal'ed to order. After smne further conversation—in the course of which the Rev. Mr. Tattersall thought that Mr. Shaw had better introduce the thumbscrews for the purpose of extorting expressions from the guardians—the matter was allowel to stand over for a time, Mr. Shaw and Mr. Wecsley interchanging some remarks that neither added to their dignity as guardians fr as gentlemen, and concluded by the latter person observing. " You have stated a lie, air." After transacting some routine busines., the Board djoirned. THE B.S. GREAT BRITAIN.-It iS said that the screw steamer Great Britain. belonging to Messrs. Gibbs, Bright and Co., of Liverpool, has been tendered to the East India House for the conveyance of troops. INDIA.I( RELIEF FUND.—CONTKiBUTION OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.—The Emperor has addressed the following letter to the French A.mbassadar : I send you £l,OOO sterling its my personal subscription, in favour. of the officers and soldiers cruelly afflicted in India. I also send you £4OO, the result of the subscription of the Imperial Guard. We have not forgotten the generous subscription of the Queen and of the English people, at the time of the inundations." The great Clear Grit organ, the Toronto Globe, has dee'ared against the report of the Committee Of the House of Commons on th Heds m's Bay q testion and of course the smaller fry will follow sui-. What party writers or orators may chance to say in the matter can be of little weight in the estimation of any one who knows bow such things are treated in Canada; but the question itself is one of grave inn ortance in corm , ction witn the future . rf the country. The American Association presents, at this moment, metal more attractive to the Montreal public than a discussion on the rather hackneyed subject of the Hudson's Bay territory ; but we shall, by and by. have to trouble our readers with a few remarks on the decision arrived at by the Committee of the Horse of Commons, as embodied in their report.— Afon;lrcal Pilot. MELANCHOLY CATASTEV)PNE —Much painful excitement has been caused in the rural hamlet of Timble Great, about six miles from Otley, by the following sad occur rence. On Friday last four lads were engaged in reaping a field near the former place until afternoon, when two of them, named David Teal and J. Holmes, went away with the inie !vim of going to Titub'e to get acme refreshment, leaving the other two, whose names were Abraham Teal, age 15, and John Teal, his nephew. snmswhat older, being 17 years of age, and a son of Mr. Josh. Teal, of B:uhber houses, eheemaker, in the field. The parties had taken With them in the morning an old gun, with which to shoot small birds. David Taal and Holmes had not g)t beyond 'the length of two fields from the sp .t before they heard the report of a gun, upon which they turned back and found that John Teal had gone, takieg with him the gun, while his uncle, = brahani Teal, was seen lying in or near the hedge. Thinking he was merely hiding h'inself, Homes said, " Come out, we see thee." The uncle not moving, Holmes called out to h' us in a louder tine, Is t h u asleep?" Sill recuiving no reply, Holmes and his cotnpnnion then went up to trim, took off li; rap, and discovered he was quite dead, having been shot through the head. The body was subseqeently removed to the house of Mr. Stephen Teal, shoemaker and farmer, of Timble, the father of the deceased. The nephew, John Teal, did not mike his appearance until dusk the same evening, and was in the greatest mental eugnish at the shocking occurence, the dee , ased and be having been from ctilelhoed on the most affectionate terms. His explanation of the dreadful affair is, that it was purely the result of an accident ; that they were sitting under the hedge toge!her, when his uncle said, " There are three birds (partridges) gone over our heads, you must have a shot at them ;" that both of them got up simultaneously, when the trigger of the gun (which was then in his heed) caught a twig in the batik., went off, and his uncle vets s'eet —Leeds Mercury. REMARKABLE SUICIDE —Two brothers, named Wiliam and Henry. Adaufe, sons of John Adam!, a cabinet-maker, residinz Devonshi,e-s:reet, Sheffield, have been found drowned under singular circumstances. From inquiries made by the race, it eppeats the*, on -Wednesday last . , Henry Adams, who is fifteen years of ege, had a quarrel ~ cith his father, wh', it is, all ged, either struck or pushtd hire, at d angrily 'told him to leave the shop. This was atmt four e'elock in the afternoon. and shortly afterwards the youth went to the Victoria Reilw,y station to carry a parcel fur some Mende Ho returned home, refused to partake of tea, and, having watched a favourable oppor tunity for speaking to his sister, told her ho should not again be seen alive, and went away. He was not aftot wards seen alive. Ott the following; day (Thursday), about five o'clock, William Adams, who is twenty-one years of ego, else lett home, as is al'eged, plortly after having had an altercation with hi; fitter. He went will £2 to pay te poore' rate. nod instead of retuning home with the receipt, forwarded it through the post, with an intimation that he too should never be again seen alive. On receivieg this intirnetion en the Ft i lay, Mrs. Adams repotted the absence of William the elder son, at the police-dice, but, s'rengely enough, said . nothing at that time of the younger son, who had gone away on the Wednesday. Nothing mere was heard of the brothers until Monday morning, when the body of the younger eon, Henry, whose absence had not -been at first reported, vies found in the canal, jast at the outskirts of the . town. On Tuesday rnoraieg the body of the Eller •soe Willem was found floating in the canal about hill a mile further from Sheffield than the place whe-e his brother his found. Theca are the circumstances connected with the melancholy event, so far as they have at present transpired. The only cease assigned for the rash conduct of the younger sots is the altercation with his father; while with regard to the elder son it is thought that a severe illness from which he bad been suffering for some months might have bad an influence on his mind. An inquest will, however, beheld, when the circumstances will be more fully investigated. bIONETAM AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening. The Cotton Market was very buoyant to-day, and a large business was done at improving prices, quotations now being fully id per lb. higher than on Saturday last. To day the sales reached 20,000 bales, inaludiug 4,000 on speculation and for export. The Liverpool Share Market was quiet to-day, except in Caledonians and Sheffields, for both of which, there was a further speculative . demand at higher prices. Grand Trunks closed khetter. The days's transactions were as follows :-Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire, 66-1; Caledonian, 421 42*. 41-1 ; Great Western, 561; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1.00, 1001, 1001, 1001; Lancaster and Carlisle, 77, 77a : London and North Western, 100, 100 h ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 41, 41k. 41-1- 41.1 ; North British, 12i ; Dovers, 21, 211; Grand Trunk of Canada, 12, 12 11-16; Liverpool Union Bank, 13 ; Lancashire Insurance, par. The following were the closing prices :-Blackburn, 71, 8 ; Chester and Birkenhead, 66, 661; Caledonian, 421„ 421 ; Chester and Holyhead, 17, 1.7.-} ; Eastern Counties, 111, xd 11 7-16 ; East Lancashire, 96k, 97 ; Do. 91. shares, 4, 9-16 p ; Great Northern, 24. 241; Do.

The Market for the Public Funds and Securities to-day was rather firmer, and the downward ten dency seems checked. So much, however, hinges upon the progress of affairs in India, that speculation is for the moment completely stagnant in the Stock Exchange. The present quotations of the Funds are considered much .too low to invite operations for a fall, especially as any con siderable decline would certainly bring the pu b lic forward as investors. On the other hand, speculation for the rise is checked by the knowledge that the outstanding trans- actions in that direction are very heavy, and by the magnitude of the charge enacted at each successive settlement. The rate of continuation on Consols yesterlay remained nominally at 7-16 fo per cent, but 5 to 51 per cent per annum may be considered the closing terms—the tendency being, if anything, a shade easier, now that the bulk of the transactions have been carried over t.) the next settlement. To-day Consols for Money closed at 902. to 901, and for the Account at 9O to 90i; and after official hours the latter stood at 90 13-16 to 90 15-16 ; Exchequer Bills closed at 5 to 1 dis. In the London Reilway Share Market to-day, there was a moderate•business done at firm prices. The following were the closing quotations : Caledonian, 841, 814 ; Eastern Counties, 11-1 ; East Lancashire, 96. 97; Great Northern, 96, 96i ; Great Northern A, 871 881 ; Great Western, 553, 563; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1001, 1001; Leeds Northern, 502; London and North Western, 1001 ; London and South Western, 924; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 411, 411; Midland Stock, 821; North British, 501, 513; South Eastern and Dover, 691, 691; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 93, 94; York and North Midland, 804 . After official hours the following wero the prices :—Caledonians, 811. 841 ; Eastern Counties, 111 ; East Lanca shire, 96, 97; Great Western, 561; Great Northern 963 ; Do. A Shares, 87, 89 ; London and North Western, 1004; Lancashire and Yorkshire 1004, 1004; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 41 7 1 , 414 ; Midlands 814 823 ; North British, 504, 51; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 93, 94; York. and North Midland, 804. In the General Produce Market no material change occurred to-day. Rice, however, was in excellent demand, and prices are looking up. Messrs. Browne, Hunter, and Co., in their circular of this afternoon, say— in the absence of further intelligerce from India, which is m)st anxiously awaited, but little change has taken place in our Prodnce Markets since our circular of 24th nit., with the exception of Saltetre, which has again advanced in value. A speculative ff eling has beea mani fested for Bice, is consequence of the prevailing. report of the disease in Potatoes again appearing, which is said to be more general, and to a greater extent than- for some years past, prices have in consequence slightly risen, and should the accounts prove not to have been exaggerated, a further improvement may yet take place.. The upward tendency that was apparent in the Sugar market has again Nees decked, and the advance folly lost stocks having increased, and the purchases of the trade having been confined to the supply of their immediate wants. The Corn Trade was firmer tc-day, and rather better prices were obtained for Wheat and Flour. Respecting the article of wool, the circular just quoted above says : The Wool market has been quiet during the last fort night, the trade having been engaged attending the sales of Low Wools in London, wlich commenced on the 25th alt. The quautity of EI. brought forward amounted to 4.725 bales, the whole of which east with brisk competi tion. Fine true bred Wools, of which there was but little offered, brought very extreme prices, and in some instances higher than the rates obtained here in July, but Gress and Blacks were 'ither lower. Prices ruled rather irregularly, which may be attributed to the indiscriminate manner in which some of the . Wools were lotted, and the want of sufficient light properly to examine the bales The arrivals here of E.I. now amount to nearly 11,000 bales, and our next sales will probably take pla ce a t th e end of this m :nth. It is pointed out that if the offer of the European and American Steam Company to establish eight screw steamers on the Mediterranean and the Red Sea—so as to enable reinforcements to be regu larly supplied to India by the 'overland route during the next six months—should be accepted, it would afferd facilities for a weekly mail from that country, by the departures being arranged alternately with those of the Peninsular and Oriental vessels. The question, it is believed, is likely to be decided this week. The Star'of Peace and Californian, which were appointed to leave Sydney on the 4th and 20th of June respectively, will, it is 'stated, bring, the former 91,522 sovereigns, and the latter 50,000. The following account of the Silk Market during the ,past month is from the circular of Messrs. Durant and Co., of London, It indicates the effect of high prices and of the dullness in the various money markets of the world in chocking the consumption of this article:— The pane of affairs in silk during the last month has not been less dragging and unsatisfactory than in the two proceeding. Buyers still hold off most determinedly from any general buline , s, taking only for their daily require ments, notwitheanding the desire of the imparters to be doing inrlnced them first to be willing sellers of all classes at the reduction previously established for the lower classes, and within the last few days even at a furt'aer fall. The new silk i 3 now about to be landed. It may be with fresh silk a change may come, bat it can scarcely be for that the trade have been waiting. The deliveries are good, but only in fair proportion to the imports of the present season. Bengal silk has participated, even beyond tha usual pro portion, in the general quiet. We heve scarcely any Omega to guile in general prices, but importers are disposed to meet the market. Italian silk commands no attention. Some importers would doubtless accept some modification upon their high pretension?, bat almost anything tl'ey could name would still leave their silk far beyond the point of competition with` China and Bengal silk. Some considerable shipments of gold are an nounced. The steamer Tt viot, which left South ampton for the Brazils to-day, took out 108,335/ in specie, all in gold, with the exception of 4001 in silver. The gold, which consists of sovereigns, has been withdrawn from the Bank of England, and is . understood to be intended for the Bank , of Rio J.tneir , .. The steamer Euxine has also taken out 34,2521 in specie for Cadiz. Of the 00,0001 in specie brought by the Canada, from the United States, the bulk was on contine.p Klee will be realised for the remittance ex the steamer IA Plata . The demand for Mexican dollars is at present comparatively limited ; and it is doubtful whether the large supplies per La Plata will be sold at the high quotations realised for the remittance by the previous packet. "The Clarence has brought about £26,000 worth of silver from Antwerp. The amount of bar silver brought by her Ma jesty's ship Trincomalee, the arrival of which from the Pacific, was reported last week, is about £6,000. tal account. The amount, which reached London yesterday, has yet to be disposed of. It is at present thtught that the shipments of silver to the East, by the steamer Ripon, on the 20th instant, will exceed these by the last packet ; but the extent of the remittances will depend upon the nature of the advices by the expected Indian mail. _ _ The present quotation for bar silver is ss. lid.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—Stpr. 9. There has yet but little doing in the hop market. Duty, 175,0001 to 180,0001. From Canterbury we Team that picking is now in full operation, and the accounts as to Ceir comit.g cown are as usual very fluctuat ing. The general opinion, however, is that the hops come well to the oast, and are full of condition, but the early picked are of too green a colour. There is no eoubt, should not windy weather prevail, that some of the late picked samples will be very good; in fact, superior to any grown fur the last two or three years, the hops being so well grown out and net honey. The growth in this district is likely to be on an average of 5 cwt per acre-3 cwt. more than was expected at one time. '1 he South Eastern Gazette states that at Maidstone the picking is n , w universal, and in those grounds which have not been affected with the flea, the hops come down even better than had 'been expected, and are excetlent in quali , y. Many of the gelding grounds, however, are much infested by the flea. and the produce consequently in somewhat lighter than had been anticipated. In the best planta tions the growth appears to be from 15 to 16 cwt. per acre. Generally speaking, throughout a circuit o five or six miles roand Ma dstono, the grounds are very good, though af -w pa'ches exist in various lo calities, where there are some ye y indifferent pieces. We understand a'so that most of the plants. a find that they have engaged too many pickers for the crap. In this district the duty will be called £161,00 ; but this, of sours,, must depend on the way in which the hops in other districts come down. LONDON CORN MARKET.-SEPT. 9.
