HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BOROUGH, AUGUST 20.—0 n Friday evening the
first pocket of new hops arrived at market, the
growth of Mr. Henry Smith, of Etchingham, Sussex.
On the following day another pocket arrived from
Mr. Henham, of East Peckham, Kent. The Sussex
pocket sold at 10L, and the Kent pocket at W. 45.
per cwt. The picking will not generally commence
before the 20th of September. The accounts from
Mid Kent this morning come much worse. The
mould is making sad havoc in many of the best
grounds. During the past week there have been
large sales of yearlings (1848) and old hops. We
have a firm market to-day, and last week's prices
fully supported. The duty estimated at 65,0001. to
70,0001.

CRANBROOE.—The plant does not in general pre-

last. The high winds have beaten the bine severely,
and the coldness of the atmosphere has very much
retarded its growth. The whole of the plantation
still remains in a state of fluctuation, with the chances
against it. Those whose opinions we last week stated
to be in favour of 80,0001. duty, do not now feel so
sanguine on the matter.
ROLVENDEN.—The hops are gone back for this last
week. Our crop will be very short this year. The
greater part of our ground will not do anything. In

WEST MALIANG.—Some few grounds have im-
proved in appearance, where the burr has come into
hop and shows itself, while others look as black and
drooping as blight can make them, and not having
strength to force the burr. Mould is increasing. If
they are not much better at other places, we cannot
see how the present estimated duty is to be realised.
EAST MALLING.—We cannot report any percep-
tible improvement in the blighted grounds; but in
the more favoured gardens there is decidedly an im-
provement. No mould to notice.
WIiOTHAM.—The hops present a very unfavourable
appearance in this part, and there is not so much as
any appearance of burr on many of them.
YALDING.—Our bops are getting on favourably in
the good grounds, but the bad are past all recovery.
BIDDENDEN ANP SstaitDEN.—The hops are making
but slow progress. The bine is very short, and but
little burr. The hops come out slowly, the cold
nights being much against them. A bet has been

ALLEGED MURDER AT GLASGOW.—A man named
Alexander Brock, residing at No. 37, High-street, com-
mitted an assault upon his wife, Martha M'Kellar or
Brock, on Saturday afternoon, from the effects of which
she died almost instantaneously. The circumstances
which led to the fatal occurrence are stated to be as
follows:—Brock, who is an engineer, and a steady man,
had given his wife some money either on Friday night
or Saturday morning, for family purposes, but which she
had misspent in getting herself intoxicated. On his
coming home to dinner on Saturday the fire was out,
and the house empty. He accordingly went to a brother-
in-law's, ho resides in the New Yonne', in search of his
wife, where he found her, to a certain extent, the worse
of liquor. On leaving the house together a quarrel en-
sued, which ended in his knocking her down. She rose,
however, and followed him down the High-street to the
close in which their own house is situated, where the
quarrel was again renewed, and he pushed or threw her
down upon the stair, and kicked her with so much vie-
len'ce that she was killed on the spot; at least when Dr.
Shaw, who was immediately sent for, arrived, life was
extinct. The deceased was severely cut about the fore-
lead.-:Brock was apprehended and lodged in the police
office on a charge of murder.--4Vorth British Mall:

COURT CIRCULAR.

BALMORAL, AUG. 19.
This morning her Majesty and the Prince attended
Divine service at the parish church at Crathie.
Her Majesty and the Prince were attended by the
Right Hon. Sir G. Grey, Viscountess Jocelyn, the
Hon. Miss Dawson, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon.
Alexander Gordon, Mr. Anion, and Mr. Birch.

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial
Office from the Governor of Canada, and also from
the Governors of the other North American Colonies.

We regret to announce the demise of the Earl of
Airlie and Lintrathen, one of the representative Peers
of Scotland, which mournful event took place somewhat
unexpectedly on Monday afternoon, at his Lordship's
residt nee in Regent- street.
SAGACITY OF THE DOG.--A short time ago a young
blackbird, newly fledged, which had been hatched in a
gentleman's garden in Hope Park, had by some accident
got out of the nest, and was hopping about a gravel walk,
when a cat pounced upon and seized it. The circumstance
was seen by a small dog of the Dinmont breed, not nearly
the size of the cat. It instantly sprang upon the feline
animal, and seizing its prey, carried it, uninjured, into
the kitchen. Here it was put into a cage, which was
placed outside in the garden, and the parent birds con-
tinued to feed it daily for a fortnight. It is now able to
do for itself, and is kept as a trophy of the courage and
sagacity of little Flora, and of the paternal care of the
old blackbirds.—Caledonian Mercury.

BADEN.
The Grand Duke of Baden made his solemn entry
into Carlsruhe on the 18th. The houses and streets
were decked with flowers and garlands, and flags
floated from windows and roofs. The people received
him with demonstrations of joy.
On returning to the Duchy of Baden the Grand
Duke published a proclamation to the people, in which
he says :
" Recalled among you by my duties as a Sovereign,
I return with the bitterest sentiment of grief; but,
notwithstanding the ingratitude which I have met
with in my own country, animated with the most
ardent desire to promote its happiness, I invoke the
support of God to second me in the accomplishment
of a difficult task. To my faithful subjects I enter-
tain gratitude, and I hope, as they do, that the horrors
of civil war will have created such an effect on the
public mind as to cause the spirit of anarchy to be
crushed more efficaciouly than by arms."
The Grand Duke refers to the reforms which he had
intended to introduce in the administration and the
tribunals when the insurrection broke out, and states
that some of them must now he postponed, and others
examined again. He then adds :
"The honour of the Badener arms has, I say it with
pain, been stained by the sedition of the greater part
of my army. The army shall be re-organived in such
a manner as to give guarantees for the future. I will
labour to re-establish credit, which has been greatly
convulsed by the revolution. The economies which
, my Government will make will be one of the most
powerful means of attaining that object, and I ap-
peal to all good citizens to second me with all their
efforts."

The Cologne Gazette states that the Grand Duke
of Baden has concluded a convention with the Prus-
sian Government, in virtue of which the latter is for
five years to nominate the commandant of the fortress
of Rastadt.

EXTRAORDINARY COMBAT.

Captain Rochfort, of the British and Irish Com-
pany's screw-vessel Rose, arrived at Dublin lately
from London, and reported having on his passage
fallen in with a whale of large dimensions, on a Sun-
day morning, at two o'clock, seven miles south-west
of the Lizard. This monster of the deep was suffer-

severely at the time in an encounter with two
resswgoerdnerallyang(ol
together through the waters, and are reputed to be
joined in a league of unrelenting enmity against the
cetaceous animals. Captain Rochfort and the crew
saw the combat for about three-quarters of an hour,
but being obliged to continue their voyage home-
wards, they had to forego the pleasure of witnessing
the struggle to its close, and of taking in tow to
Dublin the body of the vanquished whale, for of his
being eventually worsted in the affray there was no
doubt whatever. The sword-fish was seen once
driving his tremendous weapon into the belly of his
victim, as he turned on his side in agony. The
thresher fastened on his back and gave him terrific
blows, which were heard at a distance with great dis-
tinctness. The latter not having any power to strike
in the water, it was the instinctive policy of the sword-
fish to make the attack from below; this causing the
whale to rise above the surface, which he did at times
to a remarkable height, the other assailant, which wai
about 20 feet long, then dealt out his blows unsparingly,
with all the force of his lengthy frame—between them
their victim must have suffered extremely ; he
spouted blood to an immense height, and crimsoned
the sea all around to a considerable distance. Being
within 200 yards of the ship, to which the whale
appeared to make for protection, the conflict was dis •
tinctly visible to all on board, who regretted it was
not permitted them to await the issue, and carry off
the prize from epicurean whalers, whose palates are
satisfied, notwithstanding all their labours, with the
tongue of their unwieldy antagonist, upon which
alone they condescend to feast, leaving the carcass to
some coarser appetite, or, as it may be hoped in this
instance, to some lucky fishermen, whose toil in se-
curing it will be well repaid. It is considered un-
usual for marine animals, such as were engaged in
the struggle now narrated, to be seen in such a lati-
tude. But this point must be settled by naturalists.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY•)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The total supply of English Wheat received up to our
market this wet k, has tieen only fiso quarters, wholly
of the present year's growth. Today, the show of
samples was small ; yet the demand was in a sluggish,
state, at from 40s to 533 per quarter, being Monday 5
prices. The condition of the new Wheats was good.
From abroad, we have received 6,010 quarters of Wheat•
Selected qualities were held firmly, at full prices; but all
other kinds met a very slow inquiry, at barely late rates.
No English Barley at market, and the show of foreign
was trifling. On the whole, the Barley trade ruled
steady, and last week's currencies were fairly. supported.
Malt ruled heavy ; yet we have no actual decline to
notice in its value. As several arrivals of Oats be°
taken place from abroad, the Oat trade was•less active
than on Monday, at that day's currencies. Beans,

ITAL Y.

It seems to be certain that GARIBALDI has succeeded
in effecting his escape to Venice. One of the
Tuscan papers states that his wife died at Chioggia,
after having
child. giving premature birth to a still-born

Letters from Gaeta state that the Porn is
far from well, and that his person presents a
swollen appearance which is probably owing
to the malaria prevalent at Gaeta, in common with
so many other parts of the Italian sea. coast, during
summer and autumn. Rumours are not wanting
with respect to this indisposition, for a far different
cause is by some assigned as its origin than air, and
suspicions are already awakened that drugs have
been administered to the Pura, calculated to remove
him gradually from a scene of action in which he
has taken such a principal part. It is also averred
that a disposition on the part of Pius to grant some
concessions favourable to his subjects induced the
Sacred College to this step. Such an accusation is,
however, too tremendous to reproduce otherwise than
as a mere report.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BOROUGH, AUGUST 20.—0 n Friday evening the
first pocket of new hops arrived at market, the
growth of Mr. Henry Smith, of Etchingham, bunex.
On the following day another pocket arrived from
Mr. Henharn, of East Peckham, Kent. The Sussex
pocket sold at 101., and the Kent pocket at 11/. 4s.
per cwt. The picking will not generally commence
before the 20th of September. The accounts from
Mid Kent this morning come much worse. The
mould is making sad havoc in many of the best
grounds. During the past week there have been
large sales of yearlings (1848) and old hops. We
have a firm market to-day, and last week's prices
fully supported. The duty estimated at 65,0001. to
70,0001.

One glance at this statement of the indirect route,

will fully account for the reason why American
steamers taking a direct route, as follows, are enabled
to anticipate them :

or a saving in time of from 7 to 10 days.
It cannot therefore be astonishing that the New
York route is preferred. What passenger would not
wish to shorten his sea voyage a week or ten days ?
Will the great bulk of the mercantile interest direct
correspondence to be sent by the lengthened route,
when their communications through other channels
will reach their destination upwards of a week in ad-
vance of the British steamers ? and will not the valu-
able freights of gold and silver, cochineal, &c., soon
follow in the track of the mails and passengers to
New York, as being the safest and quickest mode
of transmission to England.
The West India steamers leave Chargres with an
average freight of 1,000,000 of 'dollars (frequently
more) for England. This amount may be expected
shortly to be very much augmented by the supplies of
gold from the Californian mines, and no doubt each
monthly steamer will soon he enabled to embark from
1,000,000 to 4,000,000 of dollars in specie and bullion
for delivery at the Bank of England. Can it be ex-
pected, therefore, that the merchants owning such
valuable remittances will permit their treasure to be
shipped by the West India steamers, which, with these
large sums on board, stay idling by the way a day at
Carthagena ; two, three, and sometimes four days at
Jamaica; a quarter of a day at Hayti and Porto Rico;
two days at St. Thomas's, and so on, when the insur-
ance risk is greatly increased ? And is it not natur,,l
to expect that the New York route, so much shorter
and more rapid, will completely supersede the present
West India plan of intercourse with the isthmus, un-
less an alteration be speedily and effectually applied?
A remedy may be devised whereby the whole of
these evils might be removed, and the traffic now
almost entirely lost to or leaving the West India
steamers completely restored. Such a desirable con-
summation can only be brought about by,--first, a
change of route with fewer stoppages 3 second, the

The Frankfort Gazette gives the following from
Spire, dated October 27 :—" Numerous deserters and
members of the free corps come in daily from France
and Switzerland, but they are immediately seized and
shut up in prison. The Baden authorities have
given all the Bavarian prisoners of war liberty, with
the exception of four, who are too deeply compro-
promised. ItODOLPHII MEGRHOFER, formerly Under
Secretary of State to the Minister of War at Canis-,

Spire, on the 18th instant, but is still at Carlsrube.
"A. certain number of insurgents have just been

of Appeal.
" Along the whole route, both in towns and villages,
they received presents of money, linen, provisions,
&c. This proves how lively an interest still
prevails in the Palatinate for the free corps of the
revolutionists.
" Within the last few days there have been sangui-
nary quarrels between Bavarian soldiery of different
arms, at Eidesheim' near Landon. The official trials
of functionaries who took part in the revolution are
not yet terminated. Nearly 30 of the officials who
were most deeply involved have already been hanged.
A good many of the clergyare implicated."

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

A letter from Prague of the Ist states that 60,000
men have been assembled by the Austrian Govern-
ment in Bohemia ready to act, if necessary, in Saxony
or Bavaria.

The Vienna Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes a
decree, enacting that the officers of the Imperial army
who fought with the insurgents, but gave themselves
up previous to November 26th, 1848, shall be re-
stored to their old ranks; those who returned before
the end of January, 184,D, are to enjoy the same
favour, unless there be special facts alleged against
them ; and those who returned between that period
and the 14th of April are to be sent before courts-
martial.

We find in the 'Vienna Gazette of the Ist an
article in reply to the attacks made on the Austrian
Government by the Austrian and foreign journals,
for the condemnation and execution of Count Louis
Batthyany. This article endeavours to show that
Batthyany and Kossuth were the most guilty of
all the Hungarian revolutionists, and that it was the
duty of the Austrian Government to act with all
the severity of justice towards the principal authors
of the evils which have crushed Hungary. The
criims with which Batthyany was principally re-
proached, says the Vienna Gazette, were the emis•
sion of Hungarian bank-notes, the order given by
him in consequence of a resolution of the Diet
for the raising of an army of 200,000 men, the
distribution of money made at Vienna by Pulszky,
in order to cause the revolution of the iith of Octo-
ber, the satisfaction which, according to witnesses,
he (Batthyany) displayed on learning the death of
General Count Latour, and, finally, the publication in
the Pesth Gazette of a letter calling all the country
to insurrection against the legitimate Sovereign.
Count Batthyany, adds the Gazette, was clearly guilty
of treason ; and, in addition, he violated the oath he
had taken on leaving the military service not to give
assistance to the enemies of the Sovereign, and also
the oath he had taken as First Minister. The Gazette,
in conclusion, asserts, that as his high position se-
seduced many others to the commission of felony, the
severest penalty justly fell on him.
The Austrian General commanding at Lemberg in
Gallicia has just condemned 36 persons to imprison-
ment in fortress, and to hard labour in irons, fur
participation in the Hungarian insurreetion.
The Austrian Government has, in consequence of
events in Hungary, prolonged to the month of
October of the next' year the period for the with-
drawal of the bank notes of one and two florins,
which were to have been withdrawn at the end of the
present year.

PRUSSIA.

The First Chamber of Prussia on the 3d adopted
the articles in the constitution which authorise the
Government to promulgate in certain cases, without
the intervention of the Chambers, ordinances having
the force of law ; and it also fixed the conditions
under which modifications in the charter may be
made.

In the last sitting of the Second Chamber of
Prussia a Bill was pre.,ented, enacting that the postage
of a letter shall henceforth be one silbergros (14c )
for ten German miles ; two silbergros for a distance
from ten to fity miles; and three silbergros for any
greater distance.
TLe Prussian Government has decided that the little
principality of Hohenzollern, just ceded to it, shall
become a simple Prussian pr wince, instead of being
connected to the monarchy by personal union, as was
at first intended.
