HOP INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Maidstone Journal.)

MAIDSTONE, AUGUST 17.—The most surprising im-
provement has taken Place within the last week—grounds
that were so much blighted that they did not look as if
they would grow one pocket per acre a fortnight ago
may now produce six to eight cwt., and the good grounds
promise to do as much this year as ever they did.
There is fresh burr, and the hops are growing to a
much larger size than usual—three grape hops measur-
ing a foot. Picking will be general the first week in
September.
FARLEIGH.—The hops continue to go on well.
AYLESFORD, BoXLEY, Strawain.—The hops have very
much improved, and we expect to-grow half a crop.
MEREWORTH.—Our hops continue:to improve, and it
is calculated that this neighbourhood.will average half a
ton per acre. - •
WROTRAN, PLAXTOL, 'WITHAM, SHIPBoIIRNE.
the upper and lower part of Wrotham, the plantations
are in an improving State. In, the middle, including
Clajate's-cross, Crouce, Windfield, and. Plaxtol, they are
very good indeed, and promise quite as much, and even
more, than previous to the blight. Some little mould
has been observed, but not of any consequence. In
Ightham and Shipbourne the plantations are generally in
au improving state.
SEVENOAILS.—The hops on the sandstone ridge are
generally looking as beautiful as the most sanguine
planter could desire ; the improvement since our last
report has been the most rapid we recollect ' • in the
Weald portion of the parish, owing to the slackness of
bine, few or any at all can be picked. From the appear-
ance of this and the adjoining parishes, we call it only a
two-thirds crop.
CHIDDINGSTONS.—Improving, but the bine slack, and
not likely to recover the devastating ravages of the in-
sect • a very slight crop only can be expected.
VESTERHAH, BRASTED, SUNDRIDGE, AND CHEVEN•
ING.—The uplands, or great sandstone ridge, splendid,
the north parts tolerable, but the " low gate " very few
and far between ; still the plant is improved very consi-
derably, and there may be a slight top crop.
SEAL AND THE UNDERRIVERS.—The Seal hops are
looking well, the Underrivers are in places very pretty,
but several places we have seen do not justify the high
eulogitims passed upon them ; there is, as we before
stated, a great slackness of bine at places ; and although
the late warm weather and genial showers have done
much, the plant was too far exhausted to recover a
healthy tone.
TICEUURST.—The hops are still improving in this
and adjoining parishes. We have not had the hops grow
so large for many years as they have this, and there is
no doubt we shall grow in this parish as many per acre
as we did last year. It has been remarked by some of
our oldest farmers that they never knew the hops to
grow faster than they have for the last three weeks.
Hop picking will be general with us about the 24th
instant.

GOODHURST.—The hops here still bear the superio-
rity over the neighbouring parishes, and many of the
farmers purpose commencing the picking on this day
week. liops measuring 3i inches long are not uncom-
mon here.

From the other districts our letters report no altera-
tion. For the most part the hops are going on as fa-
vourably as could have been expected after the vicissi-
tudes of the season.

Lord Dundonald's villa in the Regent's-park was yes-
terday sold by Mr. George Robins for 4,600 guineas. Mr.
Lambert Jones was the purchaser of this great bargain, for
Mathew Uzielli, the great city merchant.
THE PRICE or BREAD.—Yesterday, in the metro-
polis, there Was a general rise in the price of bread to the amount
of one halfpenny on the quartem leaf; the highest price is now, con-
sequently, 9d., and the lowest 6d. The Edinyburgh Weekly Journal of
Wednesday states. that " in Glasgow and Dundee, the hue 41b. loaf
is retailed At ed. ; in Edinburgh, the bakers demand ror a mixed
Pala

DUTCH and FLANDERS MAIL,
BRUSSELS, AUG. 17.—The Monitcur of to-day con-
tains a report addressed to the King by the Minister of
the Interior, on the general regulation of the schools of
primary instruction, a royal decree approving the regu-
lations, a letter to the Minister of the Interior by the
Bishops of Belgium, who, at the desire of the Minister,
and in concert wtth the delegates, regulate religious in-
struction, and a letter on the subject from the Bishops
to the pastors of their dioceses. The Monitcur publishes
the royal ordinance of the 14th of August, for closing
the Legislative session of 1845-46.
The Minister of the Interior has appointed a commis-
sion to examine a preliminary project of law, containing
some modification in the code of criminal proceedings.
The commission was installed on the 14th of this month
in the Hotel of the Minister of Justice.

The Journal of Liege, of the-16th, says :—" Yes-
terday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, a lieutenant of the
11th regiment of the line, dressed in plain clothes, was
found in a hop-garden, lying on the ground, with a dan-
gerous wound in his left side. He was immediately
removed to a neighbouring house in a very precarious
state. We can only at present conjecture the cause of
this deplorable event. No weapon was found near the
lieutenant, the wound had ceased to bleed, and, in the
opinion of a physician, must have been made some
hours before.—Brussels Paper, Aug. IS.
THE HAGUE, AuG. 16.—His Majesty the King re-
turned to the Hague yesterday afternoon, from his
journey to- Luxemburg. Her Royal Highness the
Princess Albert of Prussia arrived here yesterday.
TUE HAGUE, AUG. 17.—1 n all parts of the kingdom
through which his Majesty has lately passed, the inha-
bitants have every where received his Majesty with the
most cordial marks of veneration and affection, and the
sympathy of the nation for its sovereign was never before
manifested in so enthusiastic and spontaneous a manner.
All the accounts which we daily receive afford us proof
of this. The noble heart of the King must have been
deeply affected by these manifestations of the love and
respect of the country, which were perhaps greater
than at any other period of his reign. We learn that
her Majesty the Queen Dowager of Great Britain, will
arrive here in a few days, and will reside in the Palaco
in the Noordereinde. She will be accompanied by a
Princess of Prussia, for whom apartments are prepared
in the hotel of Bell Vue.
A letter from Gibraltar informs us that the Dutch
squadron, under the command of his Royal Highness
Prince Henry, had arrived there on the 30th of July.
THE HAGUE, AUG. 18.—Her Majesty the Queen has
arrived here from Soetsdyk.
The official journal, No. 40, publishes a resolution of
the Minister of Finance of the 16th of August, calling
lin the current pieces of one florin, 51 cents, for
which other coin or notes will be given in exchange for
them, up to the 6th day of September next, after which
they will no longer be current ; they will neither be re-
ceived in payment in the public offices, nor will any
person be bound to receive them in payment.
The Queen Dowager of England is expected here
about the 24th of this month. Baron Von Heckerin,
our Ambassador, at the Court of Vienna, arrived here
yesterday evening (the 17th.)
80,000 ounces of silver coin we re exported last week
into Rotterdam from London.

We have received from Cologne, some authentic parti-
culars of the deliberation of the deputies of the Zollverein
assembled in their Congres at Berlin. The old dispute
whether duties should be imposed to protect the national
manufacturers, or for the purpose of revenue, has been
renewed with the same vehemence as at Carisruhe.
Only as some of the deputies have been succeeded by
others, there has not heen quite so much heat in the
discussions. Bavaria, which at first showed some hesi-
tation, has openly joined Wurtemburg and the Grand
Duchy of Baden. Saxony will make no concession on
cotton yarn. Prussia is inclined to fix the duty on
twist at one dollar, and on thread by machinery at two
dollars; but the southern states insist on a duty of four
dollars on all kinds of thread. It is therefore probable
that the conference will break up without coming to
any resolution, and that all will remain on its present
footing.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES
RADA-AL—ln a Parliamentary paper, obtained by Sir H. Inglis, an
account was given of the late accident on the Eastern Counties Rail-
way, as rendered by the secretary (Mr. Roney) to the railway de-
partment of the Board of Trade. On the 18th of July the passengers
injured were—Mrs. Payne, leg broken ; Mrs. Weddenhall, ditto ;
Mrs. Bromley, contused; Mrs. Hulson, concussion of brain; Miss

turn as made by the secretary :—" The circumstances were fully in-
vestigated on the 20th ult., before the magistrates at Ilford, and the
engine-driver and stoker, on whom the blame rests, committed for
trial at the Chelmsford sessions. The sufferers, with the exception
of Porter Prentice, are I sported to be going on favourably on the
whole. Aug. 12. Mr. Hind has since died; an inquest was held, and
the jury returned a verdict of Manslaughter' against William Clare,
the driver. Porter Prentice's leg has been amputated, and he is
now reported to be going on favourably." In the column stating
Vie nature of the accident, it is mentioned that " the one o'clock
up-train from Ipswich was discharging its passengers at the Strat-
ford station, when a train, consisting of an engine and some empty
trucks, ran into it."f The cause of the accident is described in the
following terms :—"Disobedience of orders on the part of the engine-
driver' and stoker of the ' trucks' train in discharging signals."
iiIGUwAx ROBBERY.—About seven o'clock on Satur-
day evening last, as a commercial traveller,
named Bailey, represent-
ing-ihe firm of Messrs. Edgington and Co., tarpauling makers,
Borough, was proceeding along the high road, near Berkiiampsteaad,
in a four-wheeled chaise, four fellows, wearing short frocks

THE LATE SIR CHARLES WETIIMIELL.—Wednesday
evening, at three o'clock, Mr. Dudlow, one of the coroners for Kent,
and a jury, composed of gentlemen residing at or near Aylesford,
held an inquest on the body of the late Sir C. Wetherell, which lay
at Preston Rectory. Several witnesses were examined, including
Mr. Budge; the valet to the deceased, who was with him at the time
of the accident, the driver of the vehicle, a female who was on the
road, at the particulertime, the medical gentleman who was present
when he bieathed his last. The evidence corroborated the state-
ments which have already been made public, and which proved that
the fatal injuries sustained by Sir Charles were solely the result or
accident. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medi-
cal testimony given, which was to the effect that Sir C. Wetherell
died from the effects produced by a concussion of the brain, the re-
sult of the accident on the 10th inst. Mr. Beach, clerk to the de-
ceased, was in attendance. The remains were removed from l'reston
Rectory yesterday afternoon, and arrived at Berkeley-square at nine
o'clock-
DEPARTURE OF EAST INDIA MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON,
AUGUST 20.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship
Oriental, Captain Soy, left this port at three P.M. to Any with the
East India and China Malls, a full cargo of bale goods, and above
"ninety passengers. The Erin, new iron steam-ship belonging to
the above company, arrived here from London this morning. She
is destined to take out the mails and passengers for India as
far as Malta, from whence the Erin will proceed to Constant!.
nople, &c.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY EvENING.—Much anxiAy has
been suffered in the royal establishment at Frogmore to-day, in
consequence of the reports in the morning papers of the rough
weather experienced by her Majesty and her Royal Consort since
they left the Isle of Wight, on Tuesday last, and that anxiety has
been much inereased by the non-arrival at Frogmore House, by
this day's post, of any letters from that part of the coast to which
the royal yacht was said to have been driven for shelter. Her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent is in good health, but has been
prevented taking out-door exercise by the almost continual bad
weather since her Royal Highness's return from Osborne House to
Frogmore. _ _

PRESENT TO THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF
WINDSOR.—At a meeting of the town council of Windsor, which
took place yesterday morning, a very scarce portrait of William
Child, Mus. Doc., of Oxford University, from an original painting in
the Music-hall of that city, was presented to.the corporation by Mr.
Richard Clarke, gentleman, of her Majesty's Chapel Royal. From
documents which accompanied the present it appears that Dr. Child.
immediately after the Restoration—at which time he was organist
of St. George's Chapel, Windsor—commenced an action against the
deans and canons to recover his arrears of salary; and, Laving suc-
ceeded in his suit, ho paved the choir of St. George's with the blue
and white marble, which remains to this day. Me also subscribed
liberally towards the building of the Town-hall, which was erected
from the designs of Sir Christopher Wren. He died in 1666, and was
buried in St. George's Chapel, at the age of 96. The portrait has
been ordered to be placed in the Town-hall.
DEATH FROM POISON.--UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE.—
A respectable woman named Gough, residing at Old Windsor, who
was employed as charwoman at the stables of her Royal Highness
the Duchess of Kent, at Frogmore House, near. Windsor, met with
her death on Wednesday, in consequence of having taken a large
quantity of oxalic acid in mistake for Epsom salts. It appears tlsl
she was engaged on Wednesday in cleaning the rooms of her Nerht
Highness's grooms and stable-men, but, finding herself unwell. r:tie
left, and returned to her house at Old Windsor, within half a nsas
