LOOK OUT.—The Kentish Mercury says that the Range
of Greenwich Park has just forbidden our old friends the
veteran tars to occupy their usual stands upon Observs',
tory-hill, with telescopes and spyglasses, by the hire ol
which they have been accustomed to earn a little walla:
Open-air preachers are allowed to gather crowds of peoPI:
about them in the park; and while there is, perhaps, soca°
good in this, we do not see any harm in the other practice,
to prohibit which does seem rather hard.
&roam IN LONDON.—On Tuesday night the metropollg
was visited by a violent thunder storm, which lasted sofei
ral hours. The dwelling houses at the eastern parts
London and other places were inundated, and property t"
a considerable amount was destroyed. The wind during
the day had blown from the south-west. The heat hs,,
been oppressive, and the atmosphere extremely close uutl,'
late in the evening. About dusk the sky became heal',
and dark, and rapid flashes of lightning shortly
_after'
wards followed, which continued until half-past eleve
o'clock, when an immense flash of forked lightning
Rated the horizon, followed by a terrific clap of thunder;
A storm of hailstones, accompanied with a perfect dela,
of rain, followed, which lasted a considerable time, floole
ing the market gardeners' grounds and destroying a 'sill
quantity of choice exotics and valuable floriculturn
prizes which were intended for the forthcoming weir
bit ions.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—The South Eastern Gazette report/I
that during the past week the hops in the district e,
Maidstone, owing to the cold winds that have prevailed'
have made little progress. Where the bine has aireadi
reached the top of the poles, a good crop may be grow'
should clear warm weather set in ; but otherwise the
n'
plants will barely be able to keep their ground, and theo
crop will be deficient. In Mailing, considering tbj
weather for the past week, the bine has improved beyon,
expectation, branches throwing out very freely, 1°00°1;
healthy and clean. In Pembury, the hops have golf
back considerably during the past week. The group
in the neighbourhood of Edinbridge are 10010,7,
0 well, the poles being well covered with o_,
ing bines. About Tunbridge Wells since ev:o
last report the bine has progressed. .According to preseyo
aspect, the duty is estimated in this district at froy
£165,000 to £190,000. Around Canterbury another we'd
has brought about a decided improvement in our yoillij
and strong plantations, the branches for the most PlO,
looking very healthy, and being pretty free from 'ern) ,
In some of the old grounds the bine is still very sielaio
and appears to have come to a stand still, exhibiting re°
yellowness and want of sap.
Stunt. Pascricr.—An extraordinary charge was hell
on Monday last, at the Warrington Borough Court. lig
information was laid by the Warrington Waterwor,4
Company against Mr. W. K. Walmsley, a respects%
tradesman, of stealing, or allowing one of his men to elf
a small quantity of water. Another charge was brourtiB
against Mr. J. Cross, watchmaker, for giving away a li' r
water. It appeared that Mr. Cross procured some ci4g
bonate of soda from the shop of Mr. Walmsley (who sled
grocer), to make a seidlitz powder. The soda was han" 0
to him by one of Mr. Walmsley s assistants (he being cr,,°y,
home), and his porter, a person named Drinkwater, this
ing that one of these draughts would do him good, "0-0 e
across the street, taking with him a quart cup for 5°,1.00
water to
make it, which was given by Mr. Cross. 0'
giving of this water came, by some means, to the
ledge of the board of directors, and led to the parties bead Mr. Marsh, for the defendant Cross, 011.,,airtae
tensed the charge as contemptible and absurd. n
same principal were to be rigidly carried out, it woo") 039
dangerous for a person to take a glass of water 111,,,i0
house of a friend who used the company's water. 00,5tei
about to call evidence for the defence, but the magist'Alcie
stopped the case, which, they stated, was a most Ind.
ions and absurd one, and which they therefore distaoA s
13;;
The case against Mr. Walmsley was then called on, 00
it formed part of the preceding one, the magistrate re, 0.0
to hear it, On the application of Mr. Marsh costs vi
allowed in each case.
