Mr. Mow'Ast, of Dorchester, commenced hop-
picking on the 7th inst. upon his estate, at Milhorne St. An-
drew, eight miles cast from this town. The hops come down
much heavier from the poles than in any former year, which is
very gratifying to every person who is aware of the expence
Mr. Mowlam has incurred in bringing his plantation to its
present state of perfection; lie is the first in this county that
embarked, to any extent, in a apeculation of that valuable
production. It is now five years since he procured plants
from Farnham, and engaged skilful persons from that neigh.
bourhood to superintend the planting as well as the sue-
ceeding manuring season. The soil proving congenial, he
Increased his ground nine acres (making fifteen acres in
the whole) the following year, since which it has flourished
far beyond his most sanguine expectation, and bids fair to
remunerate that indefatigable and respectable individual in
a very handsome manner. We trust that his success will
be a stimulus to other brewers of this ancient borough, so
renowned for its excellent strong beer, to turn their attention
to the growth of hops, which will, as in the case of Mr. Mow.
lam, supersede the necessity of their annual attendance at
Wewhill, and enable them to brew their extensive stock with
the produce of their own plantations, which would no doubt be
of a quality little inferior, if any, to the best Farnliams.—

PEDESTRIANISM.
FOOT RACE ron 100 Sow. —ltl r. Hamilton attempted his
match for one hundred sovereigns to do fourteen miles in one
hour and a half yesterday, on a measured mile to the southward
of Epsom Race Course. Ile performed his first two miles in
eleven minutes and twenty seconds, and the five miles In twenty
nine minutest the ten miler was performed in one minute over
the hour, and the pedestrian appeared confident of success ;
he, however, was stopped in the thirteenth mile by a tendon
starting in the right leg, and he lost the match, being unable
to proceed.
Itatneconr.—A curious race against time took place in this
town on Tuesday laic. A man named Symes, who has been
blind for many years, undertook, for a wager, to run in the
open street from West to East Bridge in four minutes, being a
distance of nearly 900 yards. As a great number of persons,
carts, waggons, and carriages were passing at the time, the
pedestrian could not possibly have accomplished his task had he
not taken the precaution of sending a friend before him to clear
the course, and continue in conversation with him ; by this
method he was kept in the right path, and won the wager, hav-
ing a minute to spare.

BOXING.
JACK MARTIN AND JEM BURNS.—These men met last
night at Barry llolt'si and signed new articles for a fresh match
for 3001. a side, to take place on the :36th of 01.,•tober. Twenty
pounds a side was put down ; eighty pounds a side to be put
down on Tuesday next, and the remainder to be made good at
Ben Burn's in Windmill-street, on the 31st of October. Spring
to be the stake holder; and Mr. Jackson to name the place of
fighting.--So nutty was ben on his nephew, that he offered to
match him against Spring for 6001.

ELOPEMENT.—The Dublin Star gives an ac-
count of the elopement of a young and beautiful wife from
Dublin, with a man named Vitch, who has a wife now on a
bed of sickness, anti three children. The injured husband, a
Mr. Carlile, followed the fugitives to Belfast, where he dis-
covered them, and was grossly insulted by the adulterer and
adultress. The former stepped forward, and said that he
would only part with the lady with his life, and the husband
was then forced by his friend from their presence to prevent
any serious consequences. Mrs. Carlile, immediately on her
husband retiring, sent !din her wedding-ring, and desired he
should be informed that she had left her locket and other
trinkets, the pledges of their mutual faith, behind her in
Dublin. This Mr. Vitch had lately a property in the county
of Westmeath, which he contrived to dispose of, together with
all his plate and furniture,p on pretence of removing his esta-
blishment to Dublin, tor which it was, lie said, necessary to
have a new service of plate. It is supposed Mr. Vitch has
7,0001. in money, besides five or six trunks, containing property
to a considerable amount. Ills family is highly respectable,
and two of his brothers were on the eve of matrimony, prey!.
oily to this distressing occurrence.
