HOP DUTY REPEAL CELEBRATION.
--
Yesterday the hop planters of Kent and Sussex,
to the number of upwards of 400, assembled in the
grounds attached to the residence of Lord Harry
Vane, Battle Abbey, for the purpose of celebrating
the recent repeal of the Excise duty on hops. The
occasion afforded quite a holyday to the folks of
Battle, and the streets were gaiiy decorated with
flags and evergreens. A large pavilion was erected
on the lawn in front of the Abbey, and in this, at 3
o'clock, between 400 and 500 persons sat down to
dinner. The chair was occupied by Lord Harry
Vane, M.P., and among those by whom he was sup-
ported were Sir W. Brook Bridges, M.P., Mr. J. G.
Dodson, M.P., Mr. E.Agerton, M.P., Mr. P. 0.
Papillon, M.P., the Dean Battle, Mr. T. Brassey,
Mr. 0. H. Frewen, Mr. Pomfret, &c.
After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts,

buted something to make England that which it
was generally called—merry England. (Cheers.)
He was quite sure Mr. Gladstone had done so as
far as the hopgrowers were concerned. lie had
attended many meetings of hopgrowers, but this
was the first he had attended that was not a scene
of woe and lamentation. (Laughter.) He might
say that this was the first time he had seen a hop-
grower at a hopgrowers' meeting with a smile on
his face. (Laughter.) When he looked round the
meeting, he saw many familiar faces he bad been
used to meet at hopgrowers' meetings, but really
they were so changed that were it not for his inti-
mate acquaintance with them, he should not have
been able to recognise them. (Renewed laughter.)
As it was, he was glad to see the change that had
come over them, and he begged most heartily to
congratulate them on that change.

After the battle of the 27th the concentration of
the Confederate forces had become inevitable ; it was
necessary to retreat. It was decided to cross White-
beck Swamps, behind which a halt was to be made
in order to give time for the baggage to post on to
James River, where a new basis of operations was
to be established under the protection of the gun-
boats. Between 5,000 or 6,000 waggons were em-
ployed on one single road between York River and
James River. On the morning of the 30th all had
crossed Whitebeck Swamps. We left Savage Sta-
tion on the morning of the 29th, in the midst of a
dense fog, and followed that road encumbered with
wounded, and crossed Whitebeck Swamps, which
is a kind of woody marsh. But, when we arrived,
the head of the column had alone passed. We heard
musketry on belore, and, galloping forward, I met
Keser, who informed me that we had repulsed the
enemy's cavalry, which bad attempted to molest our
march. We soon hear a heavy cannonade on our
rear. It is the enemy attacking Sumner, who had
not left his position. At nightfall we encamped,
and at dawn of day I learnt that all our waggons
and all our troops had passed Whitebeck Swamps.
On the morrow we advanced, scorched by a burn-
ing sun, towards James River. The General con-
tarred with the commanders of the gunboats, and
then galloped off with our nephews. We soon hear
the report of cannon, and the enemy attacks Smith
(who holds Whitebeck Swamps). Another attack
is made on the centre of our line. Those
attacks having thrown the enemy into a kind of
disorder, the general returns with us to the gun-
boats, in order to confer with Captain Rodgers.
We embark upon the Galena ; while there, a re-
port is sent from the rear announcin c, that a power-
ful body of the enemy is advancing towards the
position occupied by Porter. Immediately we
ascend the river, in order to throw the weight of
our cannon balls into the scale, and open a fierce
fire. The lieutenant is at the masthead with the
signal officer, who telegraphs with the men who
work Porter's signals, which are placed on the roof
of a house in order to direct our fire. I also climb
up to the mast-head, in spite of my jack-boots and
spurs. In the beat of the action the helmsman
forgets to steer straight, and the Galena runs
ashore—a disagreeable thing, as immediately the
enemy covers the neighbourhood with sharpshooters.
We at last get off, and Porter's fire slackens. We
thence conclude that the enemy is repulsed, and a
" fraternisation " with the " blue jackets " takes
place, in which I participate. The general returns
to his head-quarters, and we separate from him We
then went to Fort Monroe on board a gunboat, the
Jacob Bell, which was sent here with despatches.

Mr. T. BRASSEY proposed the health of those
members of the House of Commons who had sup-
ported the repeal of the hop duty, and
Mr. P. PAPILLON responded.
Some other toasts were given, and the proceed-
ings terminated.

. . . The day before yesterday
it
announced that Jackson was marching up on the
Potomac at the head of a considerable force, in order
to act upon our rear, to break up the railway and
destroy our magazines. We heard, besides of the
arrival at Richmond of Beauregard with apart of his
forces. All that greatly complicates our situation.
Not being able to detach troops to meet Jackson
and defend White House as well our line of com-
munication, the general has deeided upon aban-
doning it completely ; he has therefore ordered
all his troops to cross to the right bank of the
Chickahominy, and to take up a new basis of ope-
rations upon James River under the protection of
the gunboats. The enemy commenced his move-
ment last evening. He crossed to the left bank of
the above-mentioned river at Mildon-bridge, in
order to attack M'Call's division at Meunitville.
The attack was made by General Lee, at the head
of Witt's division. Some Louisiana regiments at-
tempted to pass by main force, but were repulsed.
A fight took place there, which, however, was not
followed by any important result. That same night
we conveyed our baggage over to the right bank of
the Chickahominy. At this moment the enemy is
attacking the troops which have remained on the
left bank in order to cover the bridges.

had become disabled off Fleet wood on the 25th. ult.
This valuable lifeboat has several times been instru-
mental, under the most perilous circumstances, in
saving 27 shipwrecked persons.
A reward of £l2 was also granted to the crew of
the Penmon (Anglesey) lifeboat of the society, for
going off during a strong gale of wind on the 24th
ult. to render assistance to the smack Frodsham, of
Liverpool, which was observed in a disabled state
running before the wild with a signal of distress
flying. The lifeboat soon overtook the smack, and
ultimately succeeded in taking her safely intoLlan-
dudno Bay, where she remained by her all night.
This lifeboat has on two or three previous occasions
rendered similar important services to distressed
vessels.

Yesterday will ever remain deeply engraven on
my memory ; in the first place, on account of the
soul-stirring scenes I witnessed; and in the next,
by reason of the dangers which our two nephews
es2aped as by a miracle. For four hours Paris
(the Count of Paris)'and for two hours Robert (the
Duke of Chartres) were incessantly under a most
violent fire of musketry and artillery. Their con-
duct was as might have been expected, excellent.
They have been exceedingly active and useful, and
at the critical moment evinced a firmness which has
excited universal admiration and gained them pub-
lic thanks. But to return to my narrative.
