HOP IBTELLIGEA'OII.

CRANBROOK.—The hope do not maintain their
colour; the late boisterous and wet weather has sadly de-
tracted from their recent handsome appearance, and many
plantatkas are so changed that in all probability they will
not be picked. The pounds when the bine is exposed we
never saw so mach gone off at this season of the year, ands*
brown it. the hops which bang on the outside that already
the fiat has gone tomb not to Dick them. A few days more
of snob weather as has lately ruled sill maks a significant
demises In the duty, end, as we have said all along, the
present estimate is too high. Those growers who picked
their hops early when they were in good colour would do
wall to hold on till reasonable figures ars bid; for colouring
samples must be had, and in our opinion they will eventually
pay for holding. The brown hops will doubtlem be of good
uElity, but their bright attractive appearance baing gone
will not realise so much money as One showy samples
do.
Pairminex.—The hop-picking is pprtgrasiug favour-
ably, but the late winds bare done iderrble damage to
some pounds, which will tend to lessen the quantity and in-
jure the quality. We think oar parish will average from 10
to 12 cwt. per acre.
HONINOADEN.—Picking is going on favourably in this
perish; the weather this week bee certainly damaged the
colour much—consequently, the best coloured samples must
command a higher pries
101(111111.—Tb' hopping is going on well in this locality.
The hope are full of condition, and the picking will last two
weeks longer with many planters.
SEAL AND SEAL CHART.—The hops continue to come
down remarkably well, although getting • lisle brown. The
picking will be hishrd about the end of the week. Some good
sass have been effected.
ISZVINOAI6.—We are now batty in picking in all our
neighbourhood. The hope cores DOWD beautiful in colony
and quality; quantity is beyond the expectation of malty.
They take • greet number of bushels to the asn.
TICZNUMT.—The hop ph king has not progressed quite so
fast this week in consequence of wet and wind, whine has
damaged the hops. The picking in this perish will be brought
to a close in about a week.—Asir:stow .ksruol.

MANSLAUGIITIR BY A Boy.—On Monday after-
noon minnow was bald at Blacked. Lancashire, on the body
of Barham Crook, sod 21, • looker-on at the colliery of
Megan Whaley. It appears that on the 9.h inst., • boy
named William Lever, aged 14, had • dispute with the de-
ceased as to who should first ascend the ellen. Lever made
ma effort to get into the cage but was prevented by deceased,
who dragged him beck and kicked him. la retaliation the
boy planted • heavy blow over the lett reasple of the deceased
with a small tin as he held In his hand. Deceased was not
heard atthe time to emplain that he was injured, and Lever
was allowed to weesd the shaft and proceed home. On the
following day, however, symptoms of an alarming nature
presented themselves, and after an illness of twelve days
Crook expired. The evidence of Mr. Marshall, surgeon, of
florwich, went to prove that the Lice given by Lever,
cawing conclusion of the brain. had nceseiotted the death of
derzwod , aed • verdict of Manslaughter" against Lever
was returned. _

A F.tTAL FIG rir.—A quarrel, resulting in fatal
oonrequenow, occurred in the worl,4bop of Mr. Devezeux,
tailor, Siletr street, Stockton, on )lotelay niaht, between
two workmen named John Ward and Edword Gordon. Tha

but the anger of the men having been excited a tight wax
instantly determined upon, and V. .truck Gordon a flow
which felled him to the floor and resulted 1.11 instant death.
It is stated that the deceased was subject to poignance of the
heart. He was a respectable and steady man but of high
temper, sod could not brook an insult Word is la custody.
