l'IlE TESTIMONIAL TO THE SPANISH CAPTAIN.
A magnificent salver, the manufacture of Messrs
Elkington and Co., of Moorgate-street and Regent-
street, voted by the Court to Captain Don Bernardino
Camp, in testimony of his humane and heroic conduct
in saving the lives of the passengers and crew of the
Royal Mail steam-packet the Tweed, on the 12th of
February, was exhibited on the table of the Court.
Mr. KING (the Chairman of the General Purposes
Committee) said the testimonial had been prepared by
the special direction of the committee over which he
had the honour to preside, and he trusted it would
meet the approbation of the Court, as calculated to
evince the admiration and respect with which they
regarded the heroical conduct of the gentleman to
whom it had been so cordially voted. It was impos-
sible to contemplate without a high degree of satis-
faction the course adopted by the Corporation of the
city of London upon an occasion of the kind, for at
the same time that it expressed their sense of the
great merits of the Spanish captain, it necessarily led
to a noble emulation tending to the benefit of mankind.
Mr. ANDERTON agreed in every word uttered by
Mr. King. He hoped that in future the Court would
substitute pieces of plate, like that which was exhi-
bited on the court table, for the snuff-boxes in which
the freedoms were generally inclosed.—(Hear.)
ALTERATION OF THE CATTLE MARKET FROM MONDAY
TO TUESDAY.
Mr. ANDERTON presented a petition from the
farmers, graziers, and others, of Oundle, Northamp-
ton, for altering the cattle-market at Smithfield from
Monday to Tuesday ; also a petition from the farmers,
graziers, and others, of Wisheach ; also a petition
from the farmers, graziers, and others, of the county
of Rutland and elsewhere, for the like alteration.
The petitioners spoke in very pathetic terms of the
desecration committed in Smithfield on the Sabbath
day, in the fixing of the stalls and pens for cattle,
and the noise and filthy language of the vagabonds
necessarily collected by the immense business for
which the Sunday was used in preparation.
Mr. R. Taylor, Mr. Lawrence, and other members
denounced the language of the petitions as touching
the highest point of cant, fanaticism, and humbug;
and Mr. Barnes, Mr. De Jersey, and others consi•
dered them as exhibiting a truly religious spirit, and
of course reflecting honour upon those who looked
upon the desecration as deeply revolting.
The petitions were referred to the Markets' Com-
mittee.—The Court then adjourned.

ESCAPE OF FOUR PRISONERS
FROM MONMOUTH GAOL
I\loNmovrit, SETT. B.—This morning a desperate
attempt was made by four prisoners to escape from
our gaol. The names of the prisoners were Mayow,
Albert, Hayes, and Murphy. The three first-named
were convicted at the late ...Monmouth assizes of ex-
tenaive burglaries at Usk, and were tentenct.d to long
periods of transportation. Murphy was also under
sentence of transportation. He had been convicted of
a burglary with violence, and sentence of death was
recorded against him, which was, however, commuted
to 20 years' transportation. Mayow would appear to
have been the ringleader in the matter. lie had
broken one of the Icgs from the iron bedstead on
which he slept, with which he worked out the panel
of the door of his cell. In order to prevent a light
from appearing through the aperture which he had
made, he hung his bedclothes in front of it. He then
Iwrenched off the locks from the doors of the other pri-
soaers' cells, and they secreted themselves in a vacant
1 cell, and awaited the appearance of the turnkeys. At
about a quarter to six o'clock a turnkey named Allpass,
whose duty it was to inspect the prisoners in the morn-
ing, having obtained the keys from the governor (Mr.
Barrett) entered the cell of a prisoner. He had scarcely
unlocked the door when Mayow rushed from his
hiding place, and struck him a deadly blow on the
side of the head, which knocked him, senseless and
bleeding, to the ground. Mayow then secured the
keys, and locked Allpass in with the prisoner, telling
the latter to finish him. He then gave the signal to
the other prisoners whom he had released, and they,
following him, escaped to the lobby near the front
door. Here they again waited until the turnkey
came to open the door. They were armed with the
large padlocks and ponderous keys, and they rushed
upon him, and struck him several violent blows,
from which he b!ed profusely. They then un-
lecked the outer door, and escaped. They threw
the keys ewes', . and ran towards Backholt Hood.
By this time the first turnkey who was attacked
had sufficiently recovered to alarm the governor,
and help was sent for into the town. A large
body of the inhabitants sallied forth, and scoured the
country in the direction the prisoners were seen to
take. They were all taken berore tilt o'clock, and
again safely lodged in the gaol. On the road to
the gaol they confessed to the parties who secured
them that it was their intention to rob several houses
in the neighbourhood. The injuries which the turn-
keys have received are very great, but they are suffi-
ciently well to attend to their duties. The magis-
trates met at the gaol at an early hour, to make
inquiries into the matter.

CITY OF LONDON LITERARY
AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION.
Last evening there was a reunion of the members
of the above-named institution, on the occasion of the
reopening of the lecture-room, or theatre, which has
recently undergone considerable repairs and altera-
tions. The apartment has been much enlarged, the
arrangement of the lights has been improved, and in
every respect the theatre has been rendered more
commodious for the purposes to which it is destined.
It may be estimated, that in consequence of the im-
provements which have been effected, additional ac-
commodation is afforded in this apartment for :200 or
300 persons. About eight o'clock in the evening the
new theatre was completely occupied by a company
consisting both of ladies and gentlemen, and though
the reported dissolution of two similar societies was
naturally a subject of regret, yet the strong muster
yesterday evening of the friends of the City of Lon-
don Literary and Scientific Institution was calculated
to give the greatest satisfaction to all who are inte-
rested in its prosperity, as affording the very best
evidence of its success and stability. When the com-
pany has assembled Mr. Grote, the president of the
institution, delivered an inaugural address on the oc-
casion, in the course of which he expressed his gratifi-
cation at the increased accommodation now afforded to
the members of the society. He thought such an institu-
tion well deserving of the support of the merchants and
bankers of the City of London, as it afforded the means of
advancing the usefulness and upholding the morality
of the young men in their employment; and, feeling
convinced of the utility of such associations, he deeply
regretted the dissolution of two similar institutions
in other parts of the metropolis. To the corporation
of the city of London, he, on the part of the institu-
tion over which he had the honour of presiding,
tendered his gratitude, for having placed at the dis-
posal of the City of London Literary and Scientific
Institution, during the necessary repairs in their own
premises, the theatre belonging to the City of London
School. After the President's speech, which elicited
general marks of approbation from the audience, a
poetical address, written for the occasion by Mr.
Lawrence, was effectively recited by Mr. Brind.
Then followed a series of experiments with the oxy-
hydrogen microscope, conducted by members of the
philosophical class of the institution. In anotheri
part of the building a concert was given, in wbt
Miss Cubitt, Miss Stewart, and Miss Thorntona

HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, SEPT. 4--
During the last fortnight the few hops we are likely to
grow in this district have been making gradual, but very
slow, progress to maturity ; they appear generally small,
lippy, and light ; and should this cold blowing weather
continue, they will come down at picking very deficient
in quality and weight, so that it is still doubtful whether
or not the estimated duty ot 4,0001. be obtained. There
is nothing doing on the market in last year's hops.
SEPT. B.—The weather continues very unfavourable for
the growing crop ot hops ; the cold nights have quite
stopped the late burr, and retarded the growing hops. all
of which will be small and light, and of interior quality.
Opinions are now against 3,0001. duty for this district.
Yearling hops are firmer in prices, and the brewing
season coming on, there is more inquiry for them.
