HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—The hop bine generally is about eight
feet up the poles, followed up to the tips by the flea and
a few fly. The College ground is good and very clean.
There are also some very good Golding grounds on the
rock, and the showers of the last few days have rendered
the land more friable. The improvement may be esti-
mated at about 10,000/.—this week say 160,000/. total.
OTHA.M AND LEEDS.—The hop plantations vary in
these parishes. Some of our gardens promise plenty of
bine, while in others there is a slackness caused by flea,
and the impossibility of properly cultivating some of them.
The gardens that were picked first last year are very
weak, particularly the Jones's. There is no fly sufficient
to notice.

YALDlNG.—Although we have hitherto had reason to
complain of a bad season we have now to,be grateful for
the rain we had last week, which has effected a very
general improvement. _

- We°Tsist.—Our hops are looking nicely; the gelding
bine is growing and really looks like doing well.
MEREWOHTH AND PECKHADL—The hops in Mere-
worth and Peckham are growing fast and looking well.
The Wee is not so strong as last year, but there is no fly
at present, and, should the weather prove favourable,
there is every appearance of a good crop.
GOUDHURST.—The bine in this neighbourhood is going
on favourably, although somewhat late. We hear at
places of vermin, but nothing at present to prevent us
speculating on a full crop.
BRENCHLEY.—The bines are growing fast, with an in-
crease of fly to a small extent; we scarcely remember the
gardens in such a bad state of cultivation at this season
of the year.
TICEHURST.—The hop bine in this parish is progress-
ing favourably; in some grounds the bine is rather short,
but it seems healthy. We have but very little fly.—

was the cause of great evil to Ireland. lie had
been charged with bringing " wholesale charges"
against the landlords of Ireland, he denied that he
had done so. He was fully aware that there were
landlords in Ireland as good as in this country, but
they were assembled as legislators, and it was their
duty to endeavour to adopt measures for
the prevention of anything like injustice or oppression
upon the part of any of the landlords. He hoped that
the question now before the House would be perma-
nently settled before the close of the present session.
It appeared that the tenant-right existing in Ireland
had existed for a considerable length of time. It
had been said that it would be better to leave
that question to be settled by the custom of
Ulster, and not by legislative enactment. This
tenant right was similar to the "customary
tenure" which had lately been legalised in this coun-
try. Another system of tenant right was that of oc-
cupancy, giving a right to compensation; this no doubt
arose from the peculiar situation of the tenant, who,
if turned out of his little holding, had no means
whatever of obtaining the means of existence. He
did not think that the proposed measure would satis-
factorily settle the complicated question, and he should
therefore feel compelled to give his opposition to the
second reading.
Colonel RAWDON said that he should support
the second reading, in deference and respect to the
feelings of the people of Ireland, but, at the same
time, reserved to himself the right of adopting any
course which he thought proper in the future stages
of the Bill.
Mr. SCULLY supported the second reading of the
Bill. It was most essential to the well-being of the
people of Ireland that they should have something
like certainty in the occupation of their lands.
Until some settlement of this question was made,
the House would find that agrarian outrages would
continue.

Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD replied. He
had heard nothing to induce him to change his
opinion upon the justice and importance of the Bill.
If all the landlords of Ireland were generous and
humane, there would be no necessity for the measure ;
but he regretted to say that the majority of the Irish
landlords were not of that class; and injustice therefore
to the oppressed tenants, he should press the motion
for the second reading of his Bill to a division.—
(Hear, hear.) It had been urged that there was no
necessity for the Bill, as the custom of tenant right
could be established under the common law. That,
however, was a mistake ; tenant right in Ireland
could only be established by a legislative enactment,
and it was not until he had made himself convinced
of this that he consented to introduce this
(Hear, hear.) He was not so absurd as to think
that the clauses of the Bill were incapable of altera-
tion, and let the House sanction the second reading,
and he would readily consent to amendments in the
Committee.

The House then divided, when there appeared—

MARKET INTELLIG

iNCE

(From the London New Price Current of April 4.)
SUGAR.—To-day the inactivity in the raw Sugar mar-
ketea further increased, and prices were depressed fur all
sorts, as large parcels were pressed upon the attention
of the trade. The amount of business concluded in
West India was limited in all sorts, although the rates
hhdstal4ena weren
in the private market.
Bengal is cheaper than any other sort of raw Sugar. At
public sale 35 hhds of Barbadoes Sugar were sold, good
yellow at 41s to 425, middling 39s to 39s 6d, and good
brown 35s 6d per cwt.
REFINED.—TO-day the home trade were induced to
operate more freely in Refined Goods,
in consequence of
trc rsatfhouerndun purchasers thosers of Friday. Only 290
lower rates being taken. Brown Lumps sold at Ms to
525, and standard Lumps 52s 6d per cwt. There are
sellers of Bonded Crushed Sugar at reduced terms, yet
no increase is apparent in the demand. The value is 27s
to 2Ss, according to quality,
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was dealt
in with caution. The parcels offered at public sale
amounted to 4,386 bags, and all sold at 6d to is cheaper.
Madras met with a dull sale, and 3,004 bags were all
withdrawn at 28s to 29s for damp brown. Of China
1,543 bags were taken out. 525 baskets, 1,414 bags of
Penang were only in part sold at rather lower rates.
FOREIGN.—To-day the purchases made by exporters
were small in all kinds of Foreign Sugar, and a dull
demand was experienced from the home trade. In the
value we have no variation to notice. There was no
public sale, but privately Fevtral parcels were on offer.
`..IAUIIITIUS.—This ttftelLOC.:4 tIli:IC. WO,S no Ji.optove-
ment in the demand for Mauritius Sugar, and the supply
was plentiful. The parcels offered at public sale amounted

BUENOS AYRES.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENlNG.—Advices reached
Liverpool this morning from Buenos Ayres to the 9th
January. They do not, however, contain any intelli-
gence worthy of notice.
The 25th Legislature of the Province had been
formally opened on the Ist January. The speeches deli-
vered by the delegate on opening -Congress, es well as of
the Government of Buenos Ayres to the Legislature, do
not call for or merit any remark. The blockade on the
part of the French squadron bad been strictly observed,
but several swan craft hail made successful attempts in
eluding the vigilance of their pursuers.

CHISEMENT BILL.

Mr. SEYMOUR moved the second reading of
this Bill. He said he supported the Bill because it
was necessary to purify the constituencies of the
kingdom, and where this proved ineffectual to disfran-
chise them. A freeman who could sell his vote for 3/.
ought not to be entrusted with the exercise of the
franchise. The Hon. Gentleman read a number of
extracts from the evidence adduced before the Select
Committee, to show that the electors ought to have
the franchise taken out of their hands, as they had
shown themselves unworthy to exercise the great
trust delegated to them by the Reform Bill. No one
of common sense could doubt that gross and open
bribery was practised at the last and previous elec-
tions for Great Yarmouth.

Mr. LUSHINGTON seconded the motion.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered
:o be committed this day week.
VOID ELECTIONS.

On the motion of Mr. HUME, the following mo-
tion was agreed to :—." That in all cases where the
seat of any Member has been declared void by an
Election Committee, on the grounds of bribery or
treating, no motion for the issuing of a new writ
shall be made without previous notice being given in
the votes."

BENT V. FORSTER.

The plaintiff is an attorney. Thle-action was brough
to recover 91. 103. 6d. for professional services. De
fondant pleaded that he was not indebted.

Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hill for
defendant.

On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that the
services were rendered in 1842 and 1843, and that the
charges were fair.

Mr. HILL said he would call witnesses to prove that
the defendant merely retained plaintiff on behalf of his
son, and that plaintiff said he would trust to the honour
of the son to pay when he came of age. The Learned
Counsel said he would give credit to attorneys generally
for a weakness in allowing their bills to stand over for a
considerable period, but he did not think their proverbial
weakness would bear out the presumption that in this
case plaintiff would have allowed the bill to stand over
for four years. The fact was, plaintiff in the first
instance undertook to bring an action on speculation.
After the son came of age plaintiff wrote to defendant,
and said that as " Joshua" (the son) had come of age,
and had received his money, if he (defendant), who was
trustee, would get the amount he (plaintiff) would make
it answer his purpose.
The letter was put in, and a witness called to prove
the handwriting.
Mr. JOYCE —Have you been insolvent? Witness--
Yes, once. _ .

Mr. HILL—And how often has plaintiff been insol-
vent? Witness—That I can't tell lam sure, but a good
many times.
Mr. JOYCE—That is voluntary, and no legal proof.
Witness—Then people that live in glass-houses
should not throw stones.—(Great laughter and clapping
of hands here occurred, but was repressed by the Under-
Sheriff.) •
Mr. Jcorcz said that a more respectable, high-minded,
or honourable man than plaintiff did not exist in the
profession. He did not believe the jury could consider
such a conspiracy could have existed between plaintiff
and defendant to injure a third party. The Learned
Counsel was proceeding to detail a conversation between
plaintiff and defendant, when
Mr. HILL said he always felt pleasure in hearing his
Learned Friend's eloquence in a good cause, but in this
he must object to statements being made which could
not be proved. His Learned Friend might say that there
was a man in the moon, the jury might believe him,
but he (Mr. Hill) would take an objection that, as the
fact could not be legally proved, his Learned Friend
would have no right to make the assertion.—(Laughter.)
Mr. JOYCE—After that I will leave the case to the
jury.

- The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and said that the
letter was an important feature of the case. If the
plaintiff had offered to share, his costs he had acted
very wrong. The question was to whom the credit had
been given.
The jury gave a verdict for defendant.

A K It E.
Si One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
`,.dtter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
3f caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
fog broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justice demand that health should form as item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the • alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

TRINIDAD.

Mr. FAGAN inquired of the Under-Secretary for the
Colonies whether Major James Fagan, who had been
two years acting as stipendiary magistrate in the
island of Trinidad had received his appointment from
the Colonial-office ; and if so, whether under that ap-
pointment he had authority to adjudicate between
coolies and coolies, and coolies and colonists ?
Mr. HAWES replied that Mr. Fagan was nominated
to the office at the instance of the East India Company,
and Sir W. M‘Dougal, the Governor, at the request
of that body, invested him with all the power of a
magistrate, in which capacity he was acting at present.

spect to the day for which the adjourned debate on his
motion was to be taken, as at present he did not intend
to proceed with it to-morrow, and therefore it appeared
to be adjourned sine die.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the debate on the Hon. Gen-
tleman's motion would be resumed on Thursday next.
EVICTIONS (IRELAND).
Mr. I'. SCROPE inquired if the Government had
taken any means to ascertain the extent to which evic-
tion had recently been carried out by some landlords in
Ireland? Also, when the Destitute Tenants' Bill, or
rather the landlorde,amendments, would be taken into
consideration ?
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said the Government had
taken no extraordinary means to do so. A Bill had
been introduced for the purpose of providing for any
extra amount of destitution caused by such proceedings.
Sir G. GREY said 'he Bill in question had come down

HANDYSIDE V. WILSON.

The plaintiff in these actions is an undertaker. De-
fendant was in the first case sued as executor of his
mother, and 90/. 3s. was claimed for funeral expenses,
&c., the other was for the funeral of his wife, for which
80/. 3s. was charged.
The bills were read and were rather remarkable for
the terms employed, which would have been more
applicable to a ticketing linen-draper. A " superfine"
burial dress was charged at 21. 135., and "rich" silk
scarves, and "elegant," &c., &c. were prominent items.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said it was for the jury
to say whether the charges were fair and reasonable.
The jury gave a verdict for the first case, 601. for
the funeral, and 101. for extra work ; and in the next
for 60/. 9s.

"F6REIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr. URQUH ART postponed till to-morrow the
asking of the following question of which he had given
notice for to-day:—Why the correspondence between
Mr. Urquhart and Mr. Backhouse in the years 1837-8,
moved for on the 19th day of April, does not, as laid on
the table of the House, contain any letters of the year
1837, these letters being the part of the correspondence
which is of importance?
London, England, 1848-06-30

to attack him, fur he (Mr. Hudson) could bear testimony
that he had done everything in his power to bring on
the question. The lion. Gentleman certainly ought to
receive the sympathy cf the House in his new atutdiffi-
cult position; but be (Mr. Hudson) hoped he would here•
after contrive to keep his friends in better order. The
Hon. Member, however, was a little harshly dealt with
by his friends.—(A laugh.)
Mr. MUNTZ had made no attack upon the Hen.
Member for Montrose; but he must say this, that if
he (Mr. Muntz) had received a note from the Prime
Minister, fixing a certain night for the discussion, the
Prime Minister would have found considerable difficulty
in persuading him to depart from the arrangement.
Mr. HENLEY said the Hon. Member (Mr. Hame)
seemed to him to have done all in his power to please
all his colleagues or subjects by bringing on the measure,
but that did not appear to suit them. They seemed to
press the Hon. Member to say—" I will not bring it on,
because you want to go out of town."
After a few words from Mr. Wawn, Sir G Grey, Mr.
o,l4)rne, and Mr. Aglionby, the subject dropped.
The [louse adjourned at Two o'clock.

EAST INDIJ.L. COLLEGE, HAILEYBURY--YeSterday
(Thursday) being the day appointed for closing the first
term of 1848, a. deputation from the Court of Directors
of the East India Company visited the College at Halley-
bury, near Hertford, for the purpose of receiving the
report of the Principal (the Rev. Henry Melville, 8.D.)
upon the literature and discipline of the term, and of
distributing the medals and prizes awarded to the suc-
cessful competitors in the various branches of Oriental,
classical, and European literature.
EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—Within the last
few days a single branch line has been opened, which
connects the East India Docks with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway, and branches off just beyond the Barking-
road station of the North Woolwich Branch, and crossing
the river Lee by a novel iron awing bridge, enters the
dock by the extensive pepper warehouses which the
company have purchased. By this line, via Peterbo-
rough, goods may be removed, without break of car.
riage, from this important depot of East India produce,
to the Mersey, Humber, Tyne, or any point in the manu-
fceturing and northern districts.
A deputation, consisting of Mr. Cater, Mr. M'Fie, Mr.
M`Ewan, and Mr. Bramley Moore, had an interview with
the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Wednesday.
INCENDIARISM.—Yesterday a reward of 1001. was
offered for the discovery of the man who was seen to
leave Mr. Barford's warehouse, 95, Wood street, Cheap-
side, on Sunday morning, the 18th inst., just as the pre-
mises burst out into a blaze.

RECAPTURE OF A MODERN
'-.JACK SHEPPARD.
Oa the 30th ult, three men and a woman, nemed
Worrall, Street, Jackson, and Catherine Gibson, were
committed to the assizes, by Mr. Trafford, at the
Borough Court, Town Hell, Salford, for robbing at
the shop, of Mr. Crossley, grocer, White Cross
Bank.. They were all subsequently taken to Liver-
pool, and lodged in liitkdale gaol. Oa Wednesday
night, tlie 14th instant, one of them, Alexander
Worrall, the most notorious of the gang, made his
egoape from the prison, and nothing was heard of
him until Saturday last, about one o'clock at noon,
when policeman Tattersall, of the Salford police,
heard that he was in a house or cellar at St. Ste-
phen's-place, St. Stephen-street. On receiving this
information, Inspetor Taylor, with five other officers,
went to St. Stephen's-place, and having, arransed them•
selves so as to command every outlet, Insp:ct.n. Taylor
and Tattersall enured the house occupied by a man
named William Yearsley. As Tattersall was prect.ed-

top, and seeing a policemen's hat, he ran be _lc

CITY, QUARTER TO Till,. E.h.
There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, and previous prices were supported. Sales,
3,500 bales. Shares were better.
An arrival from Sydney furnishes dates of March 7.
Business at that period was exceedingly dull, the failart s
in England having excited some mistrust ; still the
colony appeared on the whole to be flourishing.
The majority in favour of . the Ministerial Sugar
Bill is certainly very small, but since the question is
one upon which even parties of the most unanimous
opinions may differ, it is probably as large as should be
expected. The great difficulty will be to secure suffi •
cient labour without promoting anything like the
privations of slavery. The Americans argue some-
what speciously, amd of .course interestedly in
such matters, but we take a few remaiks
for what they are worth, observing, by the
way, that the charge of demoralization brought by the
New York writer is not correct, and that the position of
the labourers is one of admitted comfort in the British
West Indies, whatever may be the plight of their em•

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES

----a--

PRUSSIA.
Intelligence up to the 4th instant has just arrived
from Cologne.

Berlin is still in a state of great agitation. Unless
some sudden and unexpected change should occur in
the position of the labouring classes the result must
soon be disastrous.

From the Vossische Zeitung it appears that the
town of Posen is placed in a semi•state of seige.

AUSTRIA.

From Vienna the accounts still continue to be
equally alarming, though by the 29th ult. the shops
were beginning to be reopened, and the barricades
were in course of removal.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 31st of May contains
an official statement of the revenue and expendi-
ture for the month of April, 1848, and also for the
half-year ending the 30th of April, 1848. During
the month of April last the receipts were
6,756,194 florins ; the expenditure amounted to
10,267,474, leaving a deficit of 3,511,280 florins.
The receipts during the half-year ending the 30th of
April, 1848, were 71,123,882 florins; the expendi-
ture was 78,868,549, leaving a deficit of 7,744,666.
In addition to the above half year's income,
11,908,100 florins were raised by extraordinary loans,
but the expenditure for extraordinary purposes
amounted to 16,204,182, leaving an additional deficit
of 4,296,082 florins. 'The outlay incurred during
April last, on account of Hungary and the Lom-
bardo-Venetian provinces, was 4,900,000, and no
revenue was remitted from either.

The Ministry has announced to the inhabitants of
Vienna its own inherent antipathy to reaction,
though we doubt not but that the German Liberals
will persist in watching their conduct with a circum-
spect jealousy.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.
On the 2d instant the Parliament of the.Germanie
Confederation did not assemble.

An inflammatory address from the German citizens
of Philadelphia is placarded on the walls of St Paul's
Church, conjuring the assembled Parliament to de-
throne the reigning sovereigns, and to establish a
Republic.
