TEE HOP DOZY.

We are at length enabled to publish an estimate
of the duty for the current year, based on the beet informa-
tion we c Add obtain. The reports with which we have
been favoured are more. variorm even than natal, but we
have endeavoured to sift them so se to get at • right con-
, elation.

The drat point which should claim attention in the pre-
paration of such an estimate is the acreage. In Sussex
there are certainly fewer hops grown this year, and while
in some districts they are reported about the same, there le
no increase anywhere. In a large portion of West Kent
there is no change ; wbUti in the But Peckham and Staple-
burst districts there Is decrease. In Bast and Mid Kent
the acreage is about the same on the avenge. A decrease
is noted in the neighbourhood of Worusahill, Ickhana,
Oodmersham, dm, while about Wye, Newingtoe, Wick-
ling, and some other places there is an increase. Comparing
the whole of our reports from the different districts with
Um accounts from Worcester and Farnham, we come to
the coneltudon that the acreage this year will not much
exceed 46,000.
As regards the growth we find that fa East Kent there
will be a slight Moreau per acre on that of last year; in
Wert Kent also a alight menses, and In Mid-Kent, a con-
siderable increase. Throughout tiaras there will be a
tisereses.
Without going into figures, for the growths vary so much
that we moat publish a long bat of them to be at all correct.
we will merely say that we do not think the duty of last
year will be attained, and consequently that the present sets
in Maidstone, the Borough, and elsewhere are too high.
Such weather as we now have will bring out every hop, and
the tendency to grow large is something; still we cannot,
with the facts before us, call the duty more than 245,0061.—

Mr. William Henry Ward, an American, has jut
patented an invention which, if successful, will prove of Tart
importance to the oommerclalworld. He has devised amerce&
of signal telegraphs for the ocesa marine service, by which, it
is anticipated, iatelligenoe to and from America and Eng-
land will be obtained in five days. According to his
scheme, • steamer leaved New York, say on Wednesday,
arrives off Caps Baca on the Sunday following, and receives
from the lighthouse there • telegraphic summary of pro.
cowlings at New York on the previous day. Next Friday
the steamer will, under ordinary circumstances, reach Cape
Clear, and will signal the intelligence, which may then be
transmitted by the electric wires to Liverpool and the other
great commercial ports of Europe.
THE QUEEN'S OWN ROYAL STAFFORD YEO-
-- This regiment will assemble for the usual period of
eight days' permanent duty at Lichfield, on Saturday, the
17th September, and the inspection will take place on the
Friday following. Most of the troops have been considerably
augmented daring the present year. A change having been
decided on in the uniform of the regiment, an Improvement
will he made by the substitution of a handsome tunic, much
more admired for yeomanry uniform than that which has
hitherto been worn.
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A MERCHANT AT
MANCHISTISIL--We regret to state that Mr. Henley Stowell,
jug. American merchant, of Cross-street, committed suicide
yesterday, tinder distreafing circumstances, by hanging him-
self. An inquest wi.s held upon the body yesterday after-
noon, before Mr. Herford, city coroner, when Mr. Alfred
Flockton, clerk to the deceased, stated that Mr. Stowell was
a partner in • bons in America, and that by the lag three
mauls intelligence bad arrived of the over-stocking of the
American markets Ey this country, and the over-shipment
of specie from AlXeriell, which would caws a tightness in
the money market there. This news appeared to dames the
deceased very much, and he said he would cancel all the
orders he could. He received • letter from hie pettier in
America yesterday morning, which contained a very die-
couregieg account of the state of trade there. About half-
peat twelve o'clock yesterday moraine he leR his
office and said he seoukl be beak at four o'clock.
He raked witne•tt to leave • draft that was ac-
cepted and a utersge at another American house,
which wee does. About three o'clock, when witness re-
turned from dinner, be found deceased suspended from a
rope behind the door. He called Mr. John Chariesworth,
architect, whose place ism the same building, to Ms assist-
roe. He lout out down as speedily ea possible, and a method
man scat for, but all efforts at restoration were in vein. The
jury returned a verdict "That the deceased hanged himself
Iwhilst in an unsound state of mind." We regret to add that
Mr. Stowell has left a widow to deplore his MarwAea-

DEATH OF A POLICEMAN WHILE SATHING.—On
Sunday mewling last a young man named Austen Mills,
aged about 20, met with his death by drowning in the river
Medway. It deem, that the deceased, who had entered the
county constabulary force only about • fortnight me-
viotudy, went to the river to bathe shortly before seven
o'clock. Getting out into the middle of the water, he
found himaalf oinking, and called out for help. A young
man named Benjamin Hayward (pupil to Mr. Bunter,
chemist and druggist, of High-surer, Meidstoue), who
was on the hank at the thee, dashed iota the water,
swam to the deceased, and caught bold of his hair. De-
ceased, however clang so tightly round Hayward's body
that both sank together. Hayward at length imennmled
in

dinged, but from the weight of the hare and his der-
tamer, he was obliged to give up the attemr, or
