BOROUGH, FRIDAY, Au. Z.—Our market continues
in a most inactive state, and last year's hops are freely
offering on lower terms. The accounts from tin, plan-
tations are very satisfactory, and the duty remains at
4.3130,000.
The report., from the plantations continue favourable,
the plant making steady progress to maturity. The
duty is firm at £260,000. We have nothing doing in the
market, and prices are only nominal.

EXTILVORDINAIT PHIDIONIENON.—During the late
thunderstorms an immense quantity of shells fell from
the clouds upon the gram plots in the Library Square of
Trinity College. The grass at first was perfectly white
with them. They are chiefly of two kind,., the 00101
and the common corium. 801130 are without the living
snail, while in others animal life is existent. The walk
between the two plots had nut • single shell upon its
surface.

Tar Smile is Dvetist.—The master builders have
had • second meeting, at w hich they passed resolutions
reiterating their deterinination to roost the deman'l. of
the carpenters for an increase of wages, and notifying
that in the event of the men not returning to their
work they will seek elsewhere for a sufficient number
of howls. By way of allowing that they have no di.-
position to curtail the wages of deseiving men, the
masters state that they have been paying the required
30s. ler week to several workmen in their reopeetive
employmento, and they protest against the sibitrsry
conduct which has compelled those men to join the
strike. Au yet the turn-out is not general, as, where
contracts bad been entered into and were not completed,
the trade permitted the wen to remain until such
works were finisdied. If the principle sought to be
established by the trade—namely, that no distinction 111
to lie recognized between highly skilled mechanics and
workmen of an inferior order, is milicred to, it is pretty
certain that ',Odic opinion whether right or wrong is
beside the question—will incline towards the view taken
by the master builders,

AMERICA.

Senator Douglas, one of the most prominent of the
democratic candidates for the Presidency. has written a
letter, or rather published a political manifesto, on the
subject of naturalisation and the re opening of the Afri-
can slave trade. The letter is in substance as follows:
—There can be no diffLrence in the degrees of protec-
tion accorded by Uovermuent to native and naturalized
citizens. Our Constitution recognizes no difference in
this respect. If a person can expatriate himself from
a foreign Government and swear allegiance to this,
anil
still owe anything to the foreign Power, he is in
this singular and incredible predicament of owing
allegiance to two orinntries without being entitled to the
protection of either, lie would icoura the fullest pro-
ion to till our citizens. In the convention the Con•
stitution was a creature of compromise. and the African
slave trade was the subject. South Carolina, end
Georgia wished ts, continue it: Virginia, Pennsylvania.
:New Jersey, and New York widied it terminated ; New
England was passive in the matter. Month Carolina and
Georgia finally carried their point of continuance till
the year Irinet, with the understanding that it should
then end, It therefore, became the vital coition, se
of their instrument, and must be held as sacred as the
instrument itself."
It was reported at Washington that a cargo of Afri-
cans hail been landed on the coast of Florida, near
Tampa. As soon as the landing was effected the vessel
was fired and abandoned.
A numerous body of the congressional constituents of
Mr: Sickles had signed an address calling upon him to

!WREN r. GUEENKLADR AND ANOTHER.

Mr. Pri.leattx and Mr. H. T. Cole were counsel for
the plaintiff ; Mr. Phinn awl Mr. Min for the defend-
ant.

This was an action for breaking and entering the
plaintiff's house.
The plaintiff was tenant of a small 11.,Ub0 from week
to week at Clevedun. There had not. been • notice to
quit, and the defendants had ousted the plaintiff by
force.

The defence WU that plaintiff, not being able to pay
the rent, the defendants were justified in turning the
plaintiff out.
The Judge said the jury must decide whether this was
an action brought with the bowl Ale view of obtaining
damages for the plaintiff, or whether it was nut an
attorney's action. At all events, the plaintitf was only
entitled to damages for being kept out of po,oession nine
days. It was only an action for a County Court.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages
40 shillings.
. . .

Leave w-as given to move in ease a notice to quit was
not.netene.try.

Mr. Prideiux asked for a certificate, on the ground
that the title was in question.
The Judge took time to consider the point.

WORCESTER HOP•HARICET, AUG. 27.
The flourishing state of the growing crop and the near
approach of the picking season have put an end to all
speculation in hops of last year's growth, and there will
be little or nothing done in the trade until after the
Worcester Old Fair. The hops have even further im-
proved in the last week, the weather—warm and gloomy
—just suiting the plant. The plantations generally in
the Worcester district present a most beautiful appear-
ance, the poles being crowded with hops, and presenting
the most luxuriant character. One plantation belong-
ing to a celebrated grower, Mr. J. P. Smith, about two
miles distant from Worcester, presents the most magni-
ficent sight of luxuriance that can be imagined. In con-
sequence of the forwardness of the season picking will
be earlier than usual, and will commence in • fort-
night.

ITALY.

The deputation appointed to present to the King of
Sardinia • medal, struck by a private society, in owe.
memoration of the words pronounced by his Majesty on
Ins opening Parliament on the 10th of January last.
.had an audience on the 20th inst. His Majesty's words
were, "We are not insensible to the cry of grief which
we hear from every part of Italy." To the deputation
his Majesty said :—" I thank you for your beautiful
present. Beer since it has been in my power I have
consecrated my efforts to the great national muse. I
have it constantly before my mind—llive for it, and
am ready to die for it. Difficulties and misfortunes
arias which must be remounted, and they certainly
will, for I have witnessed the courage and discipline of
which the Italians are capable. Under present circum-
stances it has been impossible to go further, as I might
have wished. In the midst of past sorrows I have
found great consolation in seeing that the Italians have
understood me, and have not entertained • doubt con-
cerning me. The masses, blinded by excessive enthu-
siasm, are sometimes led astray. I might have par-
doned such false steps, but I repeat that I have nothing
to reproach them with. It seems incredible that some
°metrics, that are unfavourable to us, do not, or will
rot, believe that there is nothing obscure or insidious
In my policy. Frankness and straightforwardness' are
its ooinpanions. Perhaps it is the going straight to the
object in view that creates displeasure. The Italian
question is very clear, and it is no doubt on that
amount that they will not understand it. The union,
perfect order, and wisdom which the people of Tuscany,
the Duchies, and the Romagna now display are admira-
ble. I certainly dial not thin: that Italy was inc,pable of
acting so, gill the spectacle of such an attitude affords
me great pleasure. Have. therefore, faith in nie, gentle-
men, and be assured that now, as well as in future, I
shall do everything in my power to promote the wel-
fare of Italy."
The King of Sardinia has directed that 12,000 fr. out
of his privy purse shall be distributed to the poor
families of Milan, especially there who had one of their
number wounded or killed during the war.
The embareation at Naples of the fourth regiment of
Swims troops has been effected in perfect order; they
previously received the whole pay due to them. More-
over, the disbanded troops receive a retiring pension,
according to a decree of the late King.

entertainments. On Friday last Messrs. Howe

CONYIRMATIO:4.—The Lord Bishop of Salisbury
has intimated his intention of administering the rite
of confirmation on Friday, Sept. 30, at the parish
church of St. James, in this town.

On Friday last a fire broke out in a fir plantation,
at Parkstone, and it was at one time feared that a
considerable extent of plantation and some houses,
would have fallen a prey to the flames, but it was
fortunately extinguished before it reached any
great distance.

The director. state in their report that while the

increased, as compared with the corresponding period

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)

The population of London is apparently more movable
than any other city population. It sends out emigrants,
it is recruited to a large extent by immigrants, and in
the changing seasons of the year thousands come and ;
go. In the present week many of its visitors are gone;
thousands of the inhabitants are away, yet these waves
of the vast population produce little disturbance in its
vital phenomena. Deaths and births suffer no inter-
ruption. 1,168 persons died; 1,781 children were born
in the week ending Saturday August 20th.
The deaths, it is gratifying to find, are below the
average. In the corresponding week of 1849 and 1854,
2,230 and 1,883 of the people perished; but the deaths
in the corresponding week of other years, after due
correction for the increase of population were, 1,185.
The deaths have decreased since the last of the two
hot weeks (July 17th-7.3rd) from 1,605 to 1,188; but
still exceed by nearly 200 the weekly deaths in June.
Diarrlicea is decreasing; the deaths in the week were
240. The east and south districts suffer most severely.
Ten persons died of cholera, eight children and two
men. One, the collector of the Kent Watei Company,
living in Bowater-crescent, Woolwich Dockyard, was
68 years old, and died on the 17th of August, of cho-
lera, after two days' illness. A compositor, aged :14,
on the 16th of August. at 9, Adelphi-terrace, Bethnal-
Green ; his death is said to have been by cholera with-
out iliarrlicea, after 43 hours' illness. The aLsicnce of
premonitory diarrhon. may weU be questioned.
Twenty persons, including 14 unhappy children under
five years of age, died •,f suiallpox, 14 of measles, 51
of scarlatina, 17 of diphtheria, 23 of wlnmping-congli,
and 37 of fever. 140 pcnons, of whom 63 were of on
age ?J-40, died of consmuption. 214 persons died by
accident or negligence; namely, 19 by mechanical in-
juries. 4 by burns, 1 by poison, 10 by drowning, and I
by suffocation; I person was murdered, 5 counnitt4xl
suicide, 3 died suddenly without stattxl cause.
Last week tho births of 17 boys and 861 girls, in all
1,781 children were registered in London. In the ten
corresponding weeks of the years 1849-58 the average
number was 1,555.

BOURNEMOUTH.

THE DOItSEVIIIIRZ CVAST. - The climate of
Bournemouth is now of such established salubrity as
to attract, and retain, visitors from all parts of Eng-
land, Scotland, and Ireland. It is matter of regret
that one mind had not originally laid out, and given ,
direction to, the entire place. Such, however, is the
set of the public (more especially of Valetudinarians)
to the locality, that an extension is becoming a
necessity of the day. From careful observation, the
climate for a few miles east and west (but particularly
the latter) is found to be equally salubrious. An
entirely new place, ParkstAme, on the sea, (about
two miles northwards of Bournemouth), is being pro-
jected with every requirement for a select retreat.
It will, we understand, be arranged in three divi-
sions, but being in the vicinity of • town, all shops
I will be excluded. We are not aware that any
' scheme, so unique as this promises to be, has been
hitherto taken up by a company. It is intended to
be incorporated by Act of Parliament.

The nomination of Manhal li'Mahon to the com-

Marshal Niel bad been appointed, but it was considered :
prudent not to leave him close to Marshal Canrobert'
whose head-quarters are at Nancy, as it is known that a t

It is to be re-organised after its great losses at Magenta

strangers which the military spectacle on Sunday and
the festivities of Monday attracted from all parts of
France as well as from foreign countries. Many 1,..r"'
vincial and foreign merchants took &advantage of me

transactions were concluded in jewelry, articles de

foreien orders were received from the United States,
Russia, and Spain. The money expended amen; the

Mr. M. Smith and Mr. Coleridge were counsel for the
plaintiff; Mr. Collier and Mr. 11. T. Culii fur Cie de-
fendant.
This case, which occupied the Court the greater part
of butt Wednesday and the whole of ycslerdaY, was re-
sinned this looming. It was • irevt. relative to
building a wall and a dock, and consisted of a vast nuw.
her of items.
The learned Baron invited the counsel to refrain from
addressing the jury. If. would put the items before the
jury. and he thought justice would be done.
The counsel having agreed to this arrangement,
His Lordship said, that after lir.ving beet' in the pro-
fession 2.5 years, hos never ',collected such a ass.: ladog
tried out. . .

Mr. Sim% maid, Lord ALingcr had once tri.d a similar
case.

it was a case which any one of them csoild have disposed

go over it item by item, and the jury must do the best
they could with it. He recollected an American case.
An earthen utensil had lawn lent, and the allegation
was that it bad been returned cracked. The defence
was, that it WM Wit cracked when it WSW returned, that

HEALTH AND DISEASE.

A letter from Camel, in the JourNal de Fraelferi,
mentions the sudden death of M. Aabicht, a Protes-
tant minister in that town, from the puncture of a fly.
The wound was inflicted near the corner of his eye; a
tumour formed, which was followed by erisypelas, and
speedily caused death. It is presumed that the fly had
been feeding on some dead carcass in • state of decom-
position, and had imbibed • poisonous virus, which had
entered the wound.
CHLOROFORM ACCIDICNTB.—TwO death' from the un-
skilled use of chloroform have been notified to the
Registrar-General during the laid few days; one occur-
ing in Southwark, the second in Westminster, both fol-
lowed by deep sorrow and mourning in several families.
It is officially stated to the Emperor of the French that
chloroform was used in 30,000 surgical operations in
ths Crimea by skilled and assistant-surgeons without a
single death ; a similar success has followed its adminis-
tration at Solferino and Magenta; but in English hospi-
tals there have been about 100 deaths in one-third of
this number of operations in the Crimea!
EARLY MARRIAOKS. —The Annual Report of the
Registrar General says :—The miners everywhere evince
a predilection for very young girls as partners in life.
More than half the bachelors and spinsters who wed are
IN) and under 25 years of age. The mean age was:
Bachelors, 25-9 years: spinsters, 247; widowers, 419:
and widows, 3814. One table (page 9) is worthy of
study ; it shows that although great irregularities pre-
vail, the general law evidently is, that in the counties
were the women are the most ignorant they marry in
the largest proportions under 21 years of age, and lose
the largest numbers of their children. When the
counties are thrown into groups the relation is percepti-
ble. As regards re-marriages, 20472 widowers, and
14,4147 widows married during the year; and out of 100
men 14 were widowers, NS were bachelors; out of 100
women 9 were widows, 91 were spinsters.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

...
THUIFIDAY, AUG. M.—The show of beasts in our mar-
ket, to-day, was but moderate. For prime Scots,
erases, ko., there was • steady demand, at full Mon-
day's prices. Inferior stock, however, sold slowly, at
barely late currencies. Although the supply of sheep
was seasonably good, the mutton trade ruled firm, and
the quotations were well supported. The best old Downs
realised ss. per /Albs. There was an improved inquiry
for lambs. In prices, however, no advance took place.
Prime small calves sold readily—other kinds of veal
slowly, at former quotations. In pigs and much cows
very little was doing, at late rates.

TURKEY AND THE EAST.

A letter from Constantinople of the 7th says :—" The
affairs of the Kurdistan are very grave, and Omer
Paella, Governor of the Ink Arabi, has thought it
necusary to leave Bagdad at the head of three battalions
of infantry, of • squadron of regular cavalry, and of •
detachment of artillery, to proceed to ttulentianieli,
which is to form the lomis of lii. operations. Great
agitation prevails. Persia possesses part of Kurdistan,
and at Constantinople she is accused of keeping up the
agitation."
A sinking fund has been founded at Constantinople,
to promote the gradual extinction of the Boating debts
of the Ottoman Porte.

The Journal de Cinut ant enople of the 17th says :—" M.

Viscount Palmerston to town on Saturday forenoon
from visiting Her Rahway at Osborne be caused a
summons to be Mimed for a Cabinet Coo.llCil this
(Monday) afternoon at his Lordship's official residence
in Downincdreet. Those members of the Cabinet
absent at a distance from the metropolis were apprised
of the intended Council by telegraph.
Da. Surrunasr.—A rumour was very Carnet on
Saturday that the Home Secretary had sent a respite
for the prisoner, but it had no foundation, and at pre-
sent the execution is Sled for Tuesday, the 13th of Sep-
tember. It is true that the solicitor for the prisoner,
Mr. Humphieys, has made an urgent solicitation to the
Secretary of State to delay the carrying out of the sen-
tence, and the culprit himself has also addressed several
very long communications to the Home-office, in which
he gives a history of the connection between himself and
the deceased lady and most strenuously smarts his in-
nocence; but the whole matter is still under considera-
tion, and it is not likely that any daisies will be cone
to until the middle of the week.

RUSSIA.

(in the 20th of September the Hereditary Grand Duke
will enter his sixteenth year, and, according to the laws
of the Empire, will attain his majority, take part in the
deliberation* of the Council of the Empire, and be pre-
vent at the Councils of Ministers It is believed that on
that day the general emancipation of the serfs of Russia
will be proclaimed. The Grand I hike Constantine is to
return to St. Petersburg for the occasion.
We receive information from different quarters that
the Russian Government is striving, might and 1111301, to
bring about • congress of Cs: European Poss era for the
regulation of many more matters than the Itaiian ques-
tion. It ix stated that 011 the eye of the late war the
French Government, retuen for the pnimise of assist-
ance which it received from Russia, ;nudged itself to
summon the 'Powers of F:tin.pe to a congress at the con-
clusion of the war. The ilsj,ct of ltuss.a in urging this
measure is, perhaps, to bring the Eastern ipiestion
forward once more. The In cal Amer, a semeotticial
journal, boldly advocates another consultation on the
" sick mass."

At Cronstadt never was there such great activity
amongst the steads, both of commerce and of war, aa at
present. The number of the former which arrive or leave
exceeds anything seen during the last few years, and
many of the vessels are screws.

11011 E DI.FENCES.—A correspondent of the Times
'inmost.% the following plan for equipping • forinithible
service of artillery :—lii Great Britaiii and Inland we
have at present V) militia artillery reg. •nta, some, like
the :South Tipperary mud the Forfarshire, very strong,
others not less capable of being rendered completely
effective. I propose that to each of these 211 regiments
should he attached, for permanent service, two batteries
of IS-pounder field guns (four guns to a battery), with
harness and wagons complete, and that the drivers
should be permanently embodied, and :10 horses fur-
nished to each regiment to train them. If this plan be
adopted, England will possess 200 Ittmounder field guns,
independent of her Royal Artillery -a force of
field artillery without parallel in the history of
the world. My countrymen may rest assured that
a force such as this would oppose an unsur-
mountable obstacle to invasion. No foreign Govern-
ment would employ light guns to fight heavy ones, or
could easily transport to our shores an equal number of
heavy field guns, with the i aaaa ileums materiel such an
armament would demand.

It is alleged that the Government have completed a
contract with three large iron companies for a supply of
68-pounders as fast as they can be cast. An important
contract for gunpowder has also been taken.
An increase of 3,000 men for the navy will.be pro-
posed in the forthing estimates.
