HOP INTELLIGENCE.
CANTERBURY, OCT. 17.—There was more life in the hop
trade on Saturday, than has appeared at any preceding market
this season. The dealers were busy at advanced prices, but not
many sales were effected, as the growers raised their demands as
fast as the bidders did their offers. A few bargains took place
at 24/. and one choice lot fetched 25/.
MAIDSTONE, OCT. 1 7.—Our Michaelmas Fair commented
this day, and was as usual not only attended by the votaries of
pleasure, but men of business. The Hop market was vire
brisk, at from 211. to 221. 10s. Pockets-.and one sold as high

very high prices asked and obtained. Welch cattle w,rs nu-

CONJUGAL ATTA Cll3l ENT.-A rornarkablo f -
neral took place in the cemetery of St. John's Church, at Bred -
flock, on Thursday last :—Ann, the wife of Richard Blair, EFq.
aged 34, died in March last, near Halifax, in Nova 6cotia,
where she was then buried, Her husband had the body ex-
hunted, and arrived with it at Brecknock, the place 'of the de-
ceased's nativity, on the eve of the second funeral. The rea-
son assigned for this extraordinary transaction, is the fulfil.
ment et a promise made by Mr. Blair, to his wife in her ill.
ness, to bury her at Brecknock. We understand Mr. Blair
is a native of Dudley or its neighbourhood. The singul.
the occurrence attracted a most numerous assemblage of pet sons
to witnes the solemn ceremony, and all seemed deeply MK cud
by the scene.

SINGULAR PRESERVATION.—On Sunday night
week, after the flood tide, loud cries for help were heard from a
man who had got einbayed betwixt the channels of Eden and
Esk, between Tordock point and the llollen Bush ; and as no
assistance could at that time be possibly afforded him, he was
set down for lost; but this idea happily turned out to be reck-
oning without the host. The man, who was an Irish whisky
smuggler, was found about day-light next morning not only
alive, but hearty, by a respectable young man (Lowther I ir-
Tell), one of the farmers of the Rocklitf fishery, betwixt the wa-
ters, who took Pat to his ( BirrelPs) residence, at Lee-hous
where he was treated with kindness and hospitality, and s;ays.
the tbllowing extraordinary account of his providential escape,
and his own proceedings:—" Having fortunately got upon the
very height of the bank between the rivers, he kept himself,
though ignorant of this circumstance, in the same line until
the tide began to ebb ; an a as he immediately perceived when
this change took place, he adopted the prudent resolutien of
not moving from the spot he stood on, which he did without
difficulty, from the lownes of the tide, and the consequent
absence of any kind of stream so far from either channel. As
the water never rose above his groin, the wank was soon dry,
upon which he took so much of the crature out of his bladders
that he lost every sense of fear, and laid down quietly on the
sand to indulge himself with a nap till morning." It is some-
what pleasing to add, that Pat acknowledged the hand of Pro-
vidence in his wonderful deliverance, by kneeling down and
singing a psalm with great solemnity—although he impru-
dently afterwards entertained his kind host with an Irish ballad.
—(Scotch Paper.)

A very AWFUL CIRCUMSTANCE occurred at
Frodsham Bridge on the evening of Friday last, which has ex.
cited a most indignant spirit against one or two persons sup-
posed to be implicated is the atrocious act from which it arose.
Mrs. Waite, a widow lady, had occasion to send her servant on
an errand about half-past seven o'clock in the evening,and the
girl, when going across a wooden bridge, thrown over a rapid
stream of water that supplies the large corn mills, was precipi-
tated into the water, owing to some persons having some
short time before maliciously taken up several of the boards
in the middle of the bridge, to the extent of about six feet.
Miss E. Waite, daughter f the above widow lady, finding
the servant stopping longer than she thought was necessary,
went in search of her, and she too, unfortunately,. no sooner
arrived at the trap in the bridge, than she fell into the water,
which was about five or six feet deep. Her shrieks brought
out her sister, who, running to the place whence the noise pro-
ceeded, was herself precipitated into the same aperture, but
fortunately escaped falling into the water by alighting en a
beam, part of the frame of the bridge. In a moment all the
neighbourhood was in alarm, and assistance was rendered in
time to save the two sisters ; but not the poor girl who bad first
fallen in ; nor was it known until the other two were cut 'hat
she had fallen a victim. Miss Waite, as soon as she bad re-
covered from her fright, said that the poor girl must be in the
water. The girl's mother was one who heard the distressing
intelligence amongst the surrounding neighbours. Nets 2
grapples, &c. were procured immediately, but it was not until
eleven o'clock that thebody was found.—(Chertge Paper..).

A burglary was committed on Sunday evening
at Manor Cottage (Mrti. Stracy's) Wingfield, Berks, aid a
quantity of plate, linen, dt.c. was stolen. The thieves effected
an entrance by the back garden, when only Holmes, a female
servant, was in the house. The depredators, three in number,
locked Holmes in the cellar before they commenced their plun-
der, and they were traced through Hatchet-lane won after the
robbery.

THE LONDON-JOURNALS.

Extracts from the Morning Papers, Oct. 19, 1825.

We have before uss-a file of Madrid Gazettes
to the Ist instnnf, but use see nothing in them of
the Amnesty Decree, which it was said had been
issued by the Spanish Government about the 26th
WC- -The fact is, these Papers contain nothing
worthy of notice but an Exposition presented to
the King bj the Junta appointed to aid the Mi-
niiters: by their counsel and suggestions, in the
arduous' situation in which Spain is at present
platted. It is a curious paper, 'and ,the language
issed on this occasion is certainly hetfer calculat-
ed fora conclave of Franciscan Friars than for
a body of men assembled for political.-and finan-
cial pueposes. In liadrid, some hopes were en-
tertained, that in the appointment-of this Junta
there was something like sincerity on the part of
.ing, and that good would result from it,
particularly as the measure is known to have
the support of the French ; but, from the
moment- this document appeared, all hopes
--vanished. In the present situation, to tell the
King that they meet for the purpose of contri-
tilting to " the splendour and perpetuity of his
throne, the integrity of his' hereditary dominions,
the indissoluble union of the Empire, and the
Priesthood," &c., adding that his will shall be
their Only law, is an insult to a suffering people.
In;the-composition of this Junta, many of the
functionaries formerly employed as viceroys or
military commanders in South America, are to be,
found, -which induces a belief that this will be one'
of the subjects on which their advice will be asked,
although it will be seen that they profess them-
selves' pledged, at least by this first act, to the
integrity -.of the King's hereditary dominions.
Time will shew what change there is in their
sentiments, when they come to look stedfastly at
the queition.

Exposition. presented to his Majesty by the Royal Consultative
Junta of Government, on the day of their Installation.
Sire—Your Consultative Junta of Government, in this first
moment of their installation, are not in a situation to act or ad-
vise. The Members thereof, surprised at the honours and con-
fidence you bestow upon us, in your sovereign Decree of the
13th instant, are alternately agitated'by the most profound Fa-
titude, and a dread of our incapacity or insufficiency. *Your
Majesty traces out for us the road to success, and also to that
prosperity you wish for your people and vassals, and you enjoin
Lis to suggest to you the means, by aiding your Council of Mi-
nisters. Our heads are not such as your Majesty seeks—such
as the Government merits—nor such as Spain requires. But
we do not hesitate to affirm that your Majesty is not mistaken'
in the fidelity of our hearts. Indefatigable, Sir, we will devote
ourselves to labour, mendicating with docility, information
and learning, from those who know. Faithfully observing your
Majesty's severe precept, secrecy, screening, or disfiguration,
shall not be found among us. The ingenuousness and candour
of our sentiments shall not be sacrificed to considera-
tions of interest or private views. No partiality or party
spirit shall bear us away. Our integrity shall not be dismayed
by the dread of the enmity or persecution which usually
attend truth ; we will endure its shafts with undaunted con-
stancy. The glory of your Majesty, the splendour and per.
petuity of your Throne, the integrity of your hereditary domi-
:lions, the decorum of your august family, the indissoluble-
union of the empire and priesthood, the re-establishment of the
fdrne the Spanish State once enjoyed among other Powers, the
encouragenaetit of individual riches, endeavouring to bind them
to those of the State and Government; the replacing of so
many deficiencies and losses experienced ; the adoption of the•
contributibns to possibility, and no more ; the consolidation of
a credit to supply the place when contributions fail; the saving
of every thin that may not be indispensably necessary; the
•
suspension of all allowances not erising out of just. demands n
retrenchments which do not bring with them indigence; re-
forms and modifications, which may reanimate the nation with-
out depressing the subjects. Such will be the objects for
the guidance of the Junta, and the will of your Majesty, and,
the directions of your Council of Ministers, shall be their only
:tire of aetiou. The Junta will perish a thousand times rather
t}:an be wanting to your Majesty.—Madrid, Sept. 26. 1825."

[MORNING POST.]
The intelligence brought yesterday from so
many different quarters, France, Holland,Ger.
many, the Hanseatic towns,and the lonian Islands,.
ist we are happy to state, of an uniformly favour.
able character. The great bane of the Morea,
the dissensions which prevailed amongst its yeti.
uus Chieftains and States Men,. had at length
ceased to overate. The difficulty which they had
experienced and continued still to feel, to. drive
the Egyptians from the interior of their country
had compelled them to lay down their ancient
anirnosities and individual ambitions. On this
account, ,it is perhaps fortunate that Ibrahim
Pacha penetrated so far, and maintained himself
so long in hazardous position which he had taken.
Had his successes been confined to the capture of
Navarinti ; or had his irruption been quickly
repelled, the union of parties, if at all effected,
would have been only momentary, and discord
svoitld -not even have waited his departure to con-
vulse theism]. But the pressure of danger has
been long, heavy, and, uniform. It has not only
'bent doWn lofty spirits, sntl mingled together dis-
sident piiiions and interests:it has moulded them
into a n€w form, and given them a habit and a
state of 'being from which they will not easily
depart. • The lesson has been severe, but it has
enforced a salutary discipline ; and as it has at
last been proved that not only independence but
existence itself depended on the maintenance of
'general-union, and the hour of peril is not wholly
peest, there is 'no fear that the Morea, when once
regaled:from its foes, should again yield to those
Cs-561.65M which laid her open. to slaughter and
desolation. It appears certain that Ibrahim
Pachaf receiving no reinforcement from any quar-
ter, and 'bearing of the repulses of the Seraskier
.-before:l4Ssalnnghi, of the flight of the Pacha of
• iNlegropoit. bark to-Eubtea, and of the general
In'Sarreelfreh': in' Candia, quitted Tripolizza with
•part.orisis :army, ticeendeavour to re-open a corn-
Intinicttlibn with the sew, without losing the itn-
,poetint;'ii.osition which lte 'held in the centre
of the ,ifleloponliesus, ft also appears that
this di'v'i'si'on .forcea has produced the
,ought •to have anticipated.'
The 'Greeks. suffered him "to pass towards the
s'ragingin all his gar-
risons, an:4.4904111e. way-against -his return.—
They fell 'then upon 'the tivridus'posts which, his
troops,Astcdpied. near Tripolikza, and carried
them -stutivtssiVely, dOtidying or .taking the de-
ta"Chinetilta-hy-Whotu:they 'were defended, till the
•EgyptiatisNvere confined to the-ruins•of that-city,
filled 'w,liti`,3l4 dna' ivdundgcl, and but ill sup-
plied witti•provisionS. In one of these actions the
Arabs are said to have lost 500 men in killed and
wounded. Meanwhile Ibrahim, finding no fleet on

the coast to carry him acTay; and dreading tlie
plague if'he entered any.of his fortresses,attempted
to tread back his steps• to Triponiza. In this, it
seems, he has completely failed, and being no
longer in sufficient' numbers to force a passage,
he remains in the midst of enemies equally formi-
dable and destructive—the Greeks on the one
side, the Plague on the other : famine within his
camp, and beyond it the sea, ploughed by the
triumphant keels of the active and vigilant
Miaulis.
