THE EXODUS.

The Galway papers continue their mourninga over
the scenes daily witnessed there of emigrants leaving
the railway terminus by the early trains to encounter
the perils of a voyage either to America or the more
distant region of Australia. The cry is everywhere
" They go." The mania, it seems, has extended to
the men employed in the constabulary force. The
Belfast Chronicle observes--
We find numbers of this force ate daily resigning
for the purpose of emigration, even with some years'
service, and it strikes us that unless greater encou-
ragement be given, the ranks will soon be thinned
without a chance or replacing them with any men,
much less of that yeoman class which made it so re-
spectable. We are informed that recruits cannot be had
without solicitation, and that the original arrangement
(and indeed the Act of Parliament) has been cancelled
in practice, by admitting persons is a reek of life for-
bidden till of late. In the army, privates unfit for promo-
tion get additional pay for service and good conduct, but
in the constabulary, we are informed that a constable of
one yes's service gets as much pay as those who may
have served 20, alth mgh to the satisfaction of all his
superiors. Surely this is no encouragement, when men
spend the best part of their lives in a highly responsible
situation, and are unfitted for active life afterwards; be-
sides, even where there is intelligence, education, and
everything required, still no vac tncy offers for promo-
tion. It would be a good addition to the statistics of
such matters to find out the average promotion of all
ranks, for we are of opinion that when officers and men
have done their work, and could retire on full pay, it is
an injustice to the public and the service that such mem-
bers should continue an incubus to the advancement of
their juniors."

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
MAIDSTONE, OCT. I.—The planters are rapidly
clearing their ground+, but the picking has for the
last few days been much interfered with by the heavy
rains. The hops come down well, but there are
places where the mould has been destructive. A
heavy duty is talked of, even 270,0001. The samples
are very good.
BOUGHTON MONCHEMEA.—We are proceeding
with the picking as fast as the weather (which has
recently been very unfavourable), will permit. We
shall produce a very fine sample, but much difference
of opinion exists as to the average growth per acre,
some thinking that 15 cwt. will be obtained, while
others say the average will not be above 10 cwt.
CHART SUTTON.—We are proceeding with the
picking as fast as the weather will permit. There
has been much rain, and that does us no good ; gene-
rally speaking, however, there will be a large crop
and a fine sample.
LEEDS.—The crop in our neighbourhood fully
answers the expectations of the growers; the yield is
very good. We are picking as fast as we can, but
are interfered with by continuous and heavy rains.
YALDlNG.—Picking is fast proceeding; but we
feel the effects of the heavy rains and winds. There
is a quantity of mould.
MARDEN.—The picking is going on very satisfac-
tory. The hops came down in excellent condition.
We shall have a good sample, and pay a heavy duty.
BRIGHTLING, SEPT. 30.—The high winds are bat-
tering us about and we shall not finish picking till
the latter end of next week. Upon the whole we
shall get as many as we expected. The duty will not,
in our opinion, pay anything like what some people
suppose.

-GOUDHURST, OCT. I.—Hops are still going on
satisfactorily, notwithstanding we have had consider-
able rain, which, in many seasons, would have
seriously injured them. The quantity is, in general,
above what was anticipated, the colour and condition
good.

ASHFORD, SEPT. 30.—The hops come down re-
markably well ; a good crop and free from disease.
WESTHAM, SEPT. 29.—The hopping is drawing to
a conclusion, and the quantity will come somewhat
short, owing to their weighing light at the commence-
ment. The quality is very superior.
FARNHAM, SEPT. 30.—The grounds are nearly all
cleared; those planters, though, who have not cleared
their grounds, we expect, will lose for quality, as the
hops are " going off," although they had not begun
to pick them before they were ripe. Duty 240,0001.
