Doty.—it considerable number of hop
growers of the county of Sussex have signed a memorial to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Lords al the
Treasury, praying them to extend the time of the mimed
of duty for which they have given bond, from the present
month to November, 1862, alleging, es the cause of their
solicitation, their total inability to meet the demand, in
consequence of the unremunemtive crop of the past season.
They combat the fallacious opinion said to be entertained in
various parts of the kingdom that the present year has been
one of success to agriculture; at any rate they deeply regret
to say that it does not apply to the hop growing parishes
of this county.—Braes Erprrss.

PORT-OFFICI SAYING, BANKS.—By the end of the
present month 900 Pod-office teaks will be open through-
out the country. Further extensions are contemplated, aod
it is hoped that Ireland may share in the benefit* of the
system. It may be proper to state that, whereas the year of
the ordinary savingsbanks terminated on the 20th November.
the year of the Peet-office hanky terminates on the 31st of
December. The set empowers depositors who have At in
the Poet•ofca banks on the last day of the year to put in
another deposit of 301. on the Ist January, if they should
think fit to dose. It is understood that the business done
at the Loath* offices has been great as oompered with that
transacted at dikes in the country.
Street railway. are about to be introduced into
Darliostoe. An announcement to this effect was made by
Mr. Henry Pease, one of the members for the southern
division of the county of Durham, at a social meeting at
