Mr. LARGE wished to know if all the experiments were to
be tried between the space from Tottenham-court-road to
Charles-street ?
Mr. KENSETT said he should leave that to tile Committee.
Mr. LARGE thought the Vestry might bv. misled if the par-
ticular spot was not named.
Mr. G. A. YOUNG thought the Committee ought not to be
restricted. He much doubted whether the space between
Charles-street and Tottenham-court- road would be sufficient
for all the experiments.
Mr. WILsoN thought the surveyor could answer that

question.
Mr. SCAMS (the surveyor) stated that the space proposed
was 530 feetin length, and he conceived that would be quite
ample to test all the experiments; it would be moroever a
better plan to have the specimens altogether than separate.
After some further observations, Mr. Kensett consented to
the words" that the experiments be tested between the space
between Tottenham-court-road to Charles-streeet" being in-
serted, and one or two other trivial alterations, when
The question was put from the chair, and carried by accla-
mation.
Mr. WILLIA.sas then moved that Mr. Stead and the other
projectors be written to, which being also carried, the Vestry
adjourned.

HOP INTELLIGENCE, WORCESTER, OCT. 5.
On Saturday last we had 115 pockets of new Hops in our
Market, of which 67 were sold at prices varying from 100 s.
to 1205., and one flue lot fetched 1285., the quality upon the
whole was better than we expected to see, but the Hops
were small, and some slightly diseased. The picking will
nearly terminate this week, and the crop is found to come
down much shorter than expectation, the Hops for the most
part being small, the duty, it is supposed, will not exceed
4,0004. We have a short supply of good Hops offered, and
as the prices rule too high for speculation, few sales are made,
except with immediate consumers, as the appearance of so
strong a blight in the summer induced most persons to get
into stock ea,ly, at much less rates than the present quota-
tions. Prices, per cwt.:—low 1837'4, 665. to 755.; useful,
84s. to 955.; &toiee, 10544 Yearlings, from 504. to 70s.—

An inquest was held on Friday in Mount-row,
B,rkeley-square, on the body of William North, aged 72.
Deceased had formerly 13,:en in the service of the Margais
Cornwallis. from whose family he received a pension. The
old man hal committed suicid • in a very determined manner.
Haying made a knot in the end of a curd, he placed the cord
over the top of his bedroom don,, shut:ing which the cord
was kept fast. He had then formed a noose at the other end,
and by bending himself forward effected his pug pass. On
the door being op-ned the body felt to the floor. Deceased
had lately lost his wife, which preyed greatly on his mind,
and had driven him to excessive drinking. Verdict—" Tem-
porary derangement."
DEATH OF THE YANKEE LEAPER.—We have
learned with great regret that poor Sam Scott's days are
numbered, he having been drowned yesta day aftern,,on in
the (serial at Stroud, wnere he was making an attempt of
the same kind as that which he was to exhibit here to• day.
A msn and worn ,n who accomdaoied him have been taken in'o
custody tilt the ta.sult of the Cor,,ner'a Inquest, which is to
be held to-day is ascertained. We hope this tarn •ntable oc-
cur eace will prevent the public from counteninei..:_f by their
presence any such rash and foolish attempts. It is evident
that there Grif:ht to be some authoriity to regul,te ru,die ex-
