SINGULAR ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE ENDING IN MAII-
RIAGE.—A woman, who gave her name Ann Parrott,
was brought up this day before Mr. Alderman Pirie,
charged with attempting to destroy herself at ten
o'clock last night, by going into the River Thames on the
Surrey side of Bla,ckfriars-bridge, but being seen by two
policemen, they ran into the water and dragged her out,
and conveyed her to a surgeon's, sand finding her very
much excited, but nut druni, they locked her up for

safety.
She made no defence to tl.l a charge, hut hung down her
head and appeared much dejected.
A man named Parrett here came f:yrw,:rd. anti stated
that he had Leen living with her for abeut four months,
and that her sister was marrizd yesterday, and because
he did not marry her at the same time he believed was
the cause of the act.
Mr. Alderman PIRIE—What was the cause of your not
doing so ? Parrott—Because I have not got the money.
Mr. Alderman PintE—How much would it come to ?
Parrott—About a sovereign.
Mr. Alderman Ptatt —Then take her away, and get
married to her as soon as possible, and bring me the
certificate of the marriage, and I will give you the so-
vereign to pay the expense's ; perhaps that will prevent •
her attempting so rash an act again.
BOW-STREET.
MR. BANKES'S CASE AGAIN.-011 Tuesday, Mr. Thos.
Sneezum, a builder, residing at No. 13, Great Smith-
street, Westminster, accompanied by his solicitor, waited
upon Mr. Jardine to inform him of an imposition which
had been practised upon him.
The Solicitor said, that in the course of last week a
person of the name cf Bankes was charged with an inde-
cent assault, and ordered to enter into recognizances to
answer. the charge at the Central Criminal Court. One
of the bail on that occasion gave the name and address
of Mr. Sneezum, but that gentleman knew nothing what-
ever of the matter till he saw his name reported in the
newspapers. The charge against Mr. Bankes was of a
most disgusting nature, and Mr. Sneezum's name being
mixed up in such a transaction had given him consider-
able pain. Mr. Sneezum's nephew, who was of the same
name, and was in the employ of his uncle as a servant,
had entered into the required sureties, and declared him-
self to be a housekeeper, residing as above, which was
totally untrue.
Mr. JARDINE inquired whether the nephew's name
was Thomas ? Mr. Sneezum answered in the affirmative.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER, SEPT. 4.—The boisterous weather of last
night, with the heavy rains since, has done considerable
damage ' to the Hops in exposed situations • many of the
poles being blown down, and much of the bine and blos-
som bruised, which will cause the sample to be of a dingy
brown complexion, and of very inferior quality. In
,sheltered situations, however, the crop has suffered but
little, and should the weather take a favourable turn,
and continue tine for another week, we think, after all,
• the resent estimated duty will be realised, and may even
reach 20,000 . There is nothing doing in the market
worth notice.

MAIDSTONE.—TiIe bines appeared to improve much
in the warm clays of the last week, but the sudden recur-
rence to severe cold weather, with foggy damp mornings
and nights, has again checked the bines, and much in-
creased the mould where it was before prevalent. To
escape the ravages of the mould, picking has commenced
in several grounds in this neighbourhood, which we
fear, from present appearances, will fall much short of the
estimate made ten days since.
BREXCHLEY.—Considering the backward state of the
bine, our Hops have done remarkably well up to Friday
evening, when the atmosphere became cold, and they
now appear to have done growing. Generally speaking
they arc very small in this vicinity, and not likely to
ripen well.

Mr. JARDINE—Does he reside on the premises ? Mr.
Sneezum—Yes ; but. he merely resides there as my
servant, .

Mr. JARDINE—IS he a housekeeper ? Mr, Sneezum—•
Certainly not.
The Solicitor inquired whether he could not have the
party re-captured and fresh bail taken ? Mr. Jardine
-Was of opinion that he could not do so.
The Solicitor said, that at all events the recognizances
were void.
Mr. JARDINE inquired whether the recognizances had
been returned to the sessions ? The chief clerk said
not at present. been returned.

Mr. Gregory said that he would not now enter into the
merits of the charge, but he might state, that at the pro-
per time Mr. Bankes would be prepared with a et:Eh:lent,
answer to'it.
Mr. iAIMINE observed that the case had certainly
been misrepresented by the papers.
:Mr. Gregory--Yes, grossly misrepresented.
JAaniNe—The nature of the charge has been en-
tirely rnisurelerstood, and there is a common saying,
that " misunderstanding brings many lies to town."
It was then arranged that the surety alluded to by
Mr. Gregory should attend here to-morrow (this day).
CASE or Mn. BAN s.—Soon after the commence-
ment of the ordinary business of the Court yesterday
morning, Mr. Thomas Sneezum, jun., the person who
had been accepted as one of ale sureties for the appearance
of Mr. Bankes to answer at the Central Criminal Court
the charge recently preferred against him, entered the
Court, and addressing Mr. Jardine, the sitting Magis-
trate, said he had come forward for the purpose of pub-
licly vindicating his character from the aspersions
which-had been cast upon it by Mr. Sneezum, his uncle,
on a former day, with reference to the proprietorship or
tenantcy of the premises in Smith-street. His uncle
