HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER,SEPT.I9.
—Our annual Hop fair was held this day, and a duller one
has not been known for some years, not more than 150
pockets of all ages having passed the scales; of these 22
pockets were of this year's growth, and which constitute
about a tenth part of the produce of the whole plantation.
The quantity of Hops pitched for sale amounted to about
700 pockets, but the holders finding no disposition on the
part of the trade to purchase at the prices they were ask-
ing, withdrew them from the market the early part of t'ae
day, hoping to do better A %.1 cek or two hence. The duty
has suddenly receded from 2001. to 140/ , the latter
amount being now the highest estimate,— Worcestershire
Chronicle.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

AN UNGRATEFUL BEGGAR.—Jane Hemmings, a
middle-aged woman, of staid and matronly appearance,
was placed at the bar, before Mr. LONG, the presiding
Magistrate, on the following charge of felony :
George Ward, the prosecutor, a young man, of very
respectable appearance, stated that between nine and
ten o'clock last evening the prisoner accosted him as be.
was passing along Oxford-street, and solicited charity,
stating that her children were actually starring. He
made her no answer, but she continued to follow him
until he got into Lower Brook-street, Grosvenor-square,
when, moved by the earnestness of her supplication, and
wishing to get rid of her importunity, ho drew
out his purse, which contained two sovereigns, and
nine shillings and sixpence in silver, and gave
her one shilling, and returned the purse into his pocket.
In a few minutes the prisoner abruptly quitted him,
and nearly directly afterwards lie missed his purse and
money. He followed m the direction the prisoner
had taken, and came up with her in New B Hal-street,
and on taxing her with the robbery she banded over
the purse with the two sovereigns, but minus silver.
He (the prosecutor) gave her in charge to the police,
and on searching her at the station-house, 6s. 10d. in
silver and copper money were found in her pocket ; the
remainder of the money she had probably dropped in
the street in taking it out of the purse.
The prisoner said nothing- in her djence and was
full• committed for trial.

REGISTRATIONs.—(THIS DAY.)

CITY OF LONDON.

The names of nineteen Trustees of the Law and
General Life and Fire Assurance Society, were struck
off the list on the objection of the Reformers.
George Charles Allen, Edward Blackmore, Thomas
Graham, Thomas Hornidge, Frederick Palmer, Henry
Palmer, Renshaw Russell, Thomas B. Rutherford,
Barnard Senior, and Charles Winner, occupying rooms
in the Mitre Chambers, were objected to by the Re-
formers, on the ground that they Could only be consi-
dered as lodgers, there being an outer door to the house.
Mr. Qui❑ submitted that every set of chambers might
be considered as a distinct freehold. The building was
in a court in the Temple, and the outer door was merely
put up to render the property more secure..
Mr. Trott observed that the names of the parties bad
been struck off the list last year, but the Overseer, for
some reason or other, thought proper to insert them
again. For three or four years he (Mr. Trott) had en-
deavoured to preserve the franehige to persons, not in
quite such affluent circumstances as those here ob-
jected to in this list, but occupying apartments in a house.
Not having succeeded, however, in doing so, and find-
ing that the poor were struck off the lists, he then ob-
jected to the rich, but who, if they paid 50/. a-year
for their apartments, were entitled to vote for counties,
as they were then considered as occupying a tenement.
Mr. Myr.tetE certainly recollected that a number of
claims had been disallowed in Westminster by himself
and Mr. Craig, because there was an outer door to the
house.

Mr. Quin—Then are we not allowed to put up a
door at the end of the passage?
Mr. MYLNE—Net without losing your votes. It is
a very hard case I admit, but if you can distinguish it
from the cases that occurred in Westminster I,shall
be glad to hear you.
Mr. Quin remarked that a man was entitled to rote
for a counting-house, and if these gentlemen had claimed
for counting-houses instead of chambers, they must have
been admitted.
Mr. MYLNE said that counting-houses were provided
for by the Reform Act, but he doubted whether bar-
risters' chambers could be considered as counting-
houses.

Mr. Trott admitted that if they rendered their pro-
perty more insecure, and removed the outer door, they
would be entitled to vote. E ich of them, however,
were entitled to a county vote, as they clearly occupied
a tenement.

Mr. MYLNE then expunged the names.

The name of Mr. Auld, Secretary to the .S:o tish
Hospital, Fleur-de-Lis-court, Fleet-street, was also
struck off.

DREADFUL EARTHQUAKE.

ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 11.—Thelle du Nerd
or yesterday published the following le:ter from Tithe,
August 13 :
" You have, doubtless, heard of the terrible earth-
quake of Mount Ararat, which has totally destroyed
the town of Makitchevan, damaged all the buildings at
Erivan, and devastated the two districts of Sharour
and Sourmate, in Armenia. All the villages in those
districts have been destroyed. The earth is rent in
such a manner that all the cotton • and rice plantations
have perished for want of water.- But the most awful
event has taken place in the neighbourhood of Mount
Ararat. Aconsiderable tnhis w'aslOotened from the moun-
tain, and.deStrOd everything in its way for the distance
of seven wersts (nearly ^five EngliSh miles). Among
others, the great village of Akhouli has had the fate
of Herculaneum and Pompeii. Above 1,000 inha-
bitants were buried under heaps of rocks. A thick
fluid, which afterwards became a river, run from the
interior of the mouLtain, which was opened, and fol-
lowing- the same direction, swept over the ruins and
carried with it the corpses of the unfortunate inha
bitants of Akhouli, the dead animals, &c. The shock
continued to be felt every day in the above-mentioned
districts, and entirely laid them waste ; then the shocks
became less frequent. Ararat is not yet quiet ; the
day before yesterday I was awakened by two violent
subterranean commotions.—Journal de St. Petersburg'',
Sept. 12.

The Sheriff's dinner on the morrow of Michael-
mas Day is to be postponed, in consequence.of the death of
her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT WOOLWICH.—
About four o'clock on Monday afternoon three respectably-
dressed persons called at the Barrack Tavern, Woolwich,
kept by Mr. Tandy, and proceeded up stairs into the long
room, where they were served with a pint of ale, and after-
wards with a second and a third. One of the party then
went down stairs to the bar and bought a biscuit from Mrs.
Tandy, with whom he entered into conversation, and then
found means to engage in chit-chat with one of the female
servants, while the upper part of the house was left to the
mercy of the others, who, having effected an entrance into
Mr. Tandy's bedroom, the key being merely hung up on a
nail at the side of the dcor, succeeded in obtaining posses-
sion of the cash-box, with which ihey returned to the long
room, and there emptied it of its contents, 951. in gold, a
number of bank notes, bills on various parties, and several
checks on Cox and Greenwood, altogether amounting to
beta ixt 7001. and 9001.

Dr. Shuttlevvorth, the new Bishop, is a native
of Preston, and was eduer.tcd at tle Corporation Gram
mar3School there.

The Shoreham Branch of the London and
Brighton Railway carried 3,926 passengers during the
week ending the 15th September, which is an average cf
561 daily ; the receipts were 1341. is. 81. On the Croy.

NEW DOCK AT WOOLWICH.—The Lords of
the Admiralty, at present in town, signified their intention
on Saturday last that they would be present on Monday to
lay the foundation-stone of the new dock, contracted for
by Messrs. Grissell and Peto, to be built in the Woolwich
Deck-yard. On Monday a police guard was mounted on
the entrance to the dock at two o'clock, with instructions
that no person was to be permitted to enter except those
immediately connected with the proceedings. A number
of persons, anxious to witness the ceremony were present,
and waited until half. past five o'clock, but the Lords of
the Admiralty did not come, and, consequently, the cere-
many was postponed. As the contractors were anxious to
proceed with the work, everything having been in readi-
ness for upwards of a week, and the time for finishing the
dock being limited, Mr. Walker, the engineer, laid the
foundation stone at a quarter before twelve on Tuesday
forenoon, attended by the authorities of the deck-yard.
The construction of this dock is different from any that
have been made before. The stones are so cut, that when
placed together, they will act on the same principle as an
inverted arch. By this plan, the greater the weight and
pressure of the vessel in dock, the greater the security
that the bottom will not be raised by springs of water, or
from any other internal cause. In making the excava-
tions on Monday, the men came upon a great number of
hazel-nuts, quite black, with the kernels completely gone ;
and a part of a tree, sixteen inches in diameter, and up-
wards of teen feet long, presenting a singular appearance,
every fibre and pore in the wood being perfect, and yet of
such a pulpy nature, that the spade went through the
whole as if it had been a piece of clay.
THE AWFUL MACHINE.—We learn from a
correspondent that the inventor of the extraordinary pro-
jectile to which the Times has recently called public atten.
tion, has been offered 490,000/. for his secret by a foreign
Power. At one time our own Government might have
had it for 100,000/. We cannot sufficiently admire the
enormous folly of our poco-curate Premier, in coquetting
with, or rather neglecting, as he has done, such a matter
as this ; for in the end he must still conclude with a had
grace the bargain, which he might have made advantage-
ously and with a good one. We understand that the ball
is of the shape of an egg; that it t xplodcs twice, and that
the second explosion is more destructive than the first.
Let Captain once sell his invention to a foreign
State, and what becomes of the supremacy of England ?
Brighton Gazette.
HORSHAIII.—About six months since, as the
beagles forming the hunt of Thomas Broedwood, Esq.,
of Holmbush, were hunting, they were attacked, and some
of them bitten, by a dog in a rabid state. Linen that time
the strictest attention has been paid to them, but no sign
of the malady was noticed until Monday se'nnigbt, when,
on the keeper entering the kennel to feed them, he per-
ceived a strange alteration in one of them. On the fol..
lowing morning it was evident hydrophobia had com-
menced, and twenty of them were shot.
The herring season has just commenced. Last
week a considerable number of small fish were caught in
seine nets, and retailed at a shilling per Inindred ; and new
red herrings are selling in the streets at a penny each. The
rough weather during the week has, however, retarded the
fishing; and the supplies continue limited. We hear that
immense numbers have been cat'ght in the North, and used
as manure.--Brighton Gazette.

EVEN I NG- ED ITI ON

THE JEWS IN THE EAST.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—A letter has been received from Sir Moses
Montefiorc, at Alexandria, under date the 29th ult.,
addressed to a private friend, wherein he states that
" Not having previously received a definitive answer
from his highness the Paella. he repaired to the Palace
on the 28th ult., accompanied by Doctors Madden and
Lowe, and by Mr. Wire, and solicited an answer to his
request, viz.:—
" A firman to proceed to Damascus, with liberty to
inquire into the affair relative to the persecution and
imprisonment of the Jews in that. city.
" Protection for witnesses who might appear and gol
evidence.
" The discharge from prison of those persons now
confined, unconditionally.
" Liberty for those who had fled to return to their
homes unmolested, and to enjoy the same protection as
the other inhabitants of Damascus."
Sir Moses Montefiore proceeds to state that, having .
pressed his claim on the grounds of justice and hulas'
nity alone, his Hilliness was pleased to say :
" He would grant the firman required.
" He would discharge the prisoners unconditionally
" And that he would also give orders that all persons
who had fled their homes might return and enjoy the
protection of the authorities, the same as any other loin'.
biants of Damascus.
" But his Highness added, as a token of his regard
to Sir Moses, that he would. advice him not to 14° tO
Damascus at present, on account of the excited state of
the fe:ilines of the people there on this subject."
After Sir Moses had left the Palace, MORSIellr ,Cre.
mi eix saw his Highness, who confirmed what he hall .'
stated to Sir Moses.
On the 29th uit. the firman arrived, accompanied
by the order for the unconditional discharge of the pri-
leiers, and for those who had left Damascus on acceosi
of the persecutions to return to their homes, which order
w .s immediately sent off to Damascus.
You will observe by the preceding statement that the
mission up to the date of the letter from which the fore'
going extract is made has been eminently success'''.
and that, too, under the meat trying circumstances.
I trust that the same kind feeling which has halerto
.
influenced you in giving publicity to my previous eons"
munications will also induce you to give immediateilr
sertion to the interesting and gratifying intelligence c,an,
tamed in the above-mentioned letter—information vell'e"
I am sure, will be as welcome to the enlightened friends
of justice and humanity as it is to me, and will, doubt'
ess, be to my co-religionists throughout the world.
I have the honour to remain, Sir,
Your obedient humble servant,
