BOROUGH HOP.

The imports of foreign hops being very extensive, the

PERILOUS ADVENTURE ON MOUNT lIELTELLTN.
Two gentlemen from the vicinity of London, making the
tour of the English lakes, met with a perilous adventure
last week while crossing Mount Helvellyn in Cumber-
land. They had ascended this lofty mountain from the
village of Wytliburn, with the intention of descending
into Patterdale by Swirrel-edge. After a toilsome ascent
they reached the summit ; but mistaking a circular pile
of stones for the land mark known as the " Helvellyn
roan," they soon strayed from the regular path, and
shortly found themselves on the edge of a frightful pre-
cipice, leading down into the vale, it is true, but without
either path or track. As, however, night was fast ap-
proaching, retreat was impossible, and the two travellers
male their perilous attempt to slide down the face of the
rock as they best could. After many narrow escapes,
they neared the bottom of the valley, but only to find
themselves immersed in a sei ins of moa.asses, filled with
large and rugged stones. Our tourists at length reached
Patterd le after dark in a etate of extreme exhaustion.
It will be remembered that it was on this side of the
mountain that Mr. Gough lost his life nearly fifty
years ago.
