POTATOES.—The writer of a letter in an Irish
paper recommends that in digging young pota-
toes the plants should be carefully raised, so as
to injure as little as possible the fibrous roots on
which the later bulbs are still forming.—After
gently pulling the largest potatoes, the plants
should be carefully replaced.—Vegetation will
speedily recommence; and the care of the culti-
vator who adopts the method recommended will,
at the conclusion of the season, be rewarded
with a good average crop, in addition to the
quantity taken by him for early consumption.—
If the potatoes have been drilled, the cultivator
may obtain the large young potatoes from the
sides of the drill ridges, without in the least dis-
turbing the main root; and if the mould be im-
mediately laid up again, vegetation wit! not be
at all interrupted.

There is a rumour in the Court Circle at Stock-

holm, we understand, that Mr. VEsEy FITZGE-
RALD will be succeeded by General Sir BENJAMIN
BLOOMFIELD, as Representative of the KING of
GREAT BRITAIN.

A Court of Aldermen was summoned to meet
yesterday at Guildhall, on the Orphans' Fund
Bill and other business ; but; from a sufficient
number of Members not attending, the same
could not be holden.

We regret to hear that the popular and de-
servedly esteemed Nobleman and Lord Lieu-
tenant of this county, (the Earl of EG 11EMONT) is
seriously indisposed at his seat at Petworth.-
-(Brighton Paper.)

have the melancholy task of recording the
death of three yourg men, who were drowned in this neigh-
bourhood on Sunday last, while bathing. The first two,
named Sears and Edmeads, the former 14 years of lege, the
latter 19, were bathing in the morning of that day in the Upper
Mill Pond, at Loose, when Sears getting out of his depth the
other flew to his succour, and they both sunk to rise no mere.
The water is supposed to be at this spot 11 feet deep, and
neither of them could swim. The bodies were not got out till
nearly an hour after the accident. The third person's name was
Bills, who was 20 years of age ; he was bathing in the after-
noon, in the Medway just below Mr. Balstone's paper mills,
adjoining this town, in company with four others; and
getting out of his depth, one of his companions, named
Peckham, endeavoured to save him, but they neither of them
being swimmers, both disappeared beneath the water. A
young man named Friend, who was swimming some distance
off, saw the circumstance, and hastened to the spot ja.‘t in
time to save Peckham, who with difficulty he dragged to
the shore, but the other perished. His body was immedi-
ately dragged for, but nearly two hours elapsed before it could
be found ; when taken out it was conveyed to the Coach and
Horses Inn, where an Inquest was taken on it yesterday before
George Burgess, Esq. Mayor and Coroner. Verdict—Acci-
dental Death.—( Maidstone Journal, July 9.)

CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 10.
The supplies of Grain this morning but thin, chiefly the re-
mains of Monday's supply. Trade in general very flat ;in fact
to-day no sales can be effected, and the prices of Monday are
but nominal, there appearing no disposition on the part of the
buyers to give last day's demands.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK., JULY B.—We have not any Lie for hops
the duty is at 135,0001.
MAIDSTONE, JULY B.—The late rains have revigorated the
backward bine ; it is again turning green and has a better
appearance ; with respect to the strong and forward plan-
tations we think it has done harm to these; as we find the
white mould increasing and fresh vermin in places. In our
minds the event is now more uncertain than it has heretofore
been—we think it more than probable that the strong bines
will lose more than the weak ones will gain. We observed upon
the grape plant generally, that there is but little appearance of
branch or burr only just on the top of the poles.—( Maidstone.
Journal.)
