CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Only a moderate supply of English Wheat has been
received for our market this week, and the show of
samples to day was small. Owing chitfly to the un-
settled state of the weather, the demand for all kinds of
Wheat of home produce was steady, and Monday's
prices were well supported. The best samples of
Foreign Wheat, free of duty, were in good request at
extreme rates. In the middling and inferior kinds com-
paratively little business was transacted. Barley was
in moderate supply, and steady request, at last figures.
There was a better inquiry fur Malt. In prices, how-
ever, wo have no advance to notice. Oats, Beaus, and
Peas moved off freely, at extreme prices. Indian Corn
and Meal quite neglected. The Flour trade was steady.

SMITHFIELD.
Notnithstanding our market to-day was but mode-
rately supplied with beasts, both as to number and
quality, the Beef trade, owing to the unfavourable state
of the weather for slaughtering, was very dull, at a de-
cline in the price of Monday last of 2d per Blbs. The
highest figures for the best Scots were only from 3s 10d
to 4s per 81bs. With foreign stock we were very scantily
supplied. The supply of English Sheep was seasonably
good, but deficient in quality. On the whole the Mutton
trade was firm, and the quotations were well supported.
In Lambs, next to nothing was doing, at a fall in value
of from 4d to 6d per Bibs. We can quote no more than
5s per Sibs for the best breeds. Calves were in full
average supply and moderate request at late prices. In
Pigs very little was done. Mulch Cows sold at from 15/
to 181 each, including their small calf.

There is rather more inquiry for the best Bops in
pockets, at very full prices. In all other kinds a limited
business is doing, at last week's quotations. The duty
is called from 195,0001. to 200,000 t. Generally speaking,
the plantation accounts are not very favourable. Sussex

HOY INTELLIGENCE.
A correspondent says :—Another week has passed.
The hops do not look so well as last ; cold nights
and strong gales do not suit them. I have stated.
before that the crop would fall short of last season
two bags per acre. I now say it will be nearer
three, and without a great change in the weather
will not stop there. I confine my remarks to my.
-own neighbourhood, Farleigh, as I have not seen other
districts, but I hear the same account of them. In the
early part of the season the bine came away well and
presented a fine healthy appearance. Since then it has
in_ many places turned yellow. Even those grounds
which have grown and held their colour are beaten about
and injured.
LOOSE.—We have a great deal of lice in the hops, up
to the very burr. The duty must be much over-rated.
BOXLEY, AYLESFORD, AND BIRHAM.--,The late rains
and strong winds have very much improved the bine and
burr.

YA.LDING, FARLEIGH, AND CHART.--Tbere are some
lice, but not to injure without an increase. Mould is
greatly on the increase.
. ULCOHRE.—The continued rains and cold nights, ac-
companied with strong gales of wind, have had a most
disastrous effect on the hops this last week, causing
the burr to look knitty and very sickly. Many poles
are blown down, and from the bine being so much
bruised with the wind, the leaves look almost like the
blight of the potato-haulm. The mould is making
its appearance in the burr, in some instances where it
has not appeared on the leaf. Without more congenial
weather, there is doubt if the duty will pay more than
half the estimated amount ; for we have reason to expect
a great increase of mould, and no one would think of
picking any hops at all, so affected, at the present prices.
BRENcHLEE.—The hops in this parish are feeling the
effect of the late few cold nights very severely. From
forty to fifty lice are to be seen on the last shoot leading
to the burr, in Mr. R. Fuggle's garden ; and if we
should get any frosty nights the duty must come down
considerably.
WROTHAH, SHIPROURNE, AND IGHTHAH.—The Un-
kind weather,rain and high winds, have done much injury
to the plantations generally. The burr seems very loth
to come out into hop, although a few fine days would
soon cause what is not injured to develope itself. If
we have much more wind, rain, and cold nights, it is
almost impossible to grow a quarter of the duty of last
year.
SETENOAKS AND ADJOINING PARISHES.--The hops
have not made much progress lately. It is now quits
certain that this district will be, at least, one-third short
of last year's growth.
GoIIDHUREIT.—The wet weather this last fortnight
with the wind has affected the hops, and if such weather
continues much longer the crop will be very short. The
duty is much over-rated.

IioLvENDEL—Our bine has made but little progress
the last fortnight. The gardens that were fire blighted
cannot do much, the late winds and cold nights are very
much against them.

CANTERBURY.—The heavy rains, high winds, and cold
weather of the put week have occasioned great damage
to the hops, and all sorts of diseases are appearing. The
duty is declining.—ltlaid.stone Journal.

Mr. D'Eyncourt, M.P. for Lambeth, was prevented
by illness from attending the House of Commons to vote
on Mr. H. Berkeley's motion on the Ballot last Tuesday,
having indeed been ordered out of town by his medical
adviser last week.

REVISING BARRISTERS.—The Lord Chief Justice
Denman has been pleased to re-appoint Lancelot Shad.
well, Esq., Francis Bailey, Esq., and Thomas Young
1614 Christie, Esq„ to revise the hats of voters for Meal*
bers to serve in Parliament for the county of Middle-
sex, the cities of London and Westminster, and the
boroughs of Marylebone, Finsbury, and the Tower
Hamlets.

DRY GAS METER FOX COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

structed, being near eight feet in height, sixteen in cir-
cumference, and two tons in weight; it is ornamented
with gothic devices, and executed in first-rate style.
Manufactured at 168, Drury-lane, under the immediate
superintendence of Mr. Defries, the inventor and pa-
ten tee.

SECONDARIES' COURT.—This Court did not sit
to-day.

THE MINING DISTRICTS OF LANARICSIIIRE.—We
regret to be informed that the mining districts of this
county are in a very disturbed state, in consequence of
the agitation which has been kept up. for some time Fast
by the mining population, with a view to an advance of
their present rate of remuneration. During the last
week large meetings of colliers have been held in the
principal districts, at which the wages question has been
discussed, and on account of the employers showing
little or no disposition to come to terms with the men,
strong disaffection prevails. The demand of the workers
is, to have Is. 6d. per day in advance of their present
rate (which is 2s. 6d.), and from all accounts they are
resolved to gain this increase, which they allege the
masters are perfectly able to give, with a very little ad-
dition to the market price of coal and iron. We under-
stand that the Lanarkshire Yeomanry Cavalry are under
arms, and stationed in troop in Holjtown, Bell hill,
Their appearance amongst the colliers has rather in-
creased than lessened the excitement. A collision be-
tween the yeomanry and the people occurred near Holy-
town yesterday, but did not turn out so serious as was
at first reported.—Glasgow Saturday Post.
RATTLESNAKES.—It was by means an unusual oc-
currence for us, after a heavy dew, to kill, in the morn-
ing, within a quarter of a mile of a camp (in the country
bordering the Arkansas), more than twenty rattlesnakes
which having come out to imbibe the dew, had become
benumbed by the cool night air, and so were an easy
prey. Our Major awoke one morning with one of these
reptiles coiled up against his leg, it having nestled there
for warmth. He dared not stir until a servant came and
removed the intruder. I had now an opportunity of test-
ing the truth of what I heard, but never before believed:
in the month of August these snakes are not only doubly
venomous, but totally blind. An old hunter will tell
you that the poison then is so virulent as to deprive the
reptile of sight.—Edward's Campaign in New Mexico.
OPENING OF TIIE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY TO
ARBROATH AND MONTROSE.—On Tuesday the Castleary
branch of this railway was opened for public traffic, thus
completing the direct line between London, Perth, Dun-
dee, Arbroath, and Montrose. The express trains from
Dundee arrived at the Euston-square terminus in 15
hours, and from Arbroath in 151. The line of railway
is continued from Arbroath to Montrose, coaches con-
veying passengers on to Aberdeen.
