HOP 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 hoar the same account of them. In the
early part of the season the bino 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 i❑ the hops, up
to the very burr. The duty must be much over-rated.
BOXLEY, AYLESFORD, ♦ND BIRRAIL—The late rains
and strong winds have very much improved the bine and
burr.

YILDING, FARLEIGH, ♦ND CHART.—There aro some
lice; but not to injure without an increase. Mould is
r greatly on the increase.
' ULCODIUE.—The eontinued 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 rot 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.
BRENCULEY.—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. It Fuggle's garden ; and if we
should get any frosty nights the duty must come down
considerably.
WROTHAII, SIIIPDOURNE, AND IGHTHAN.—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.
SEVENOAKS AND ADJOINING PARISIIES.—The hops
have not made much progress lately. It is now quite
certain that this district will be, at least, one-third short
of lust year's growth.
GODDLIUMEIT.—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.
ROLVENDEN.—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 past week have occasioned great damage
to the hops, and all sorts of diseases are appearing. The
duty is declining.—Maidstone Journal.

FATAL ACCIDENT FROM FURIOUS DRIVING, AND
COMMITTAL OF A PUBLICAN FOR MANSLAUGHTER.—
Mr. Best, a respectable publican, residing at Evesham,
Worcestershire, has just been committed to the Wor-
cester county gaol for trial at thp novt stgtizos, on
charge of manslaughter under the following circum-
stances:—William Roberts, a young labouring man,
was driving his master's team, laden with bones for
manure, along the turnpike road, at Little Hampton,
near Evesham, accompanied by a boy named Dolphin,
when the prisoner, in company with another person,
galloped up tho road at a furious rate, overtook the
waggon, and rode down poor Roberts, who fell in front
of the waggon wheels, two of which passed over his neck
and head and killed him on the spot. Best was intox-
icated so as to be scarcely able to retain his seat in the
saddle. Roberts and Dolphi❑ were on the right side
of the road, and Dolphin had a narrow escape from
being rode over. Best rode on after the accident at the
same furious pace he had previously attained, and it ap-
peared that when ho set out he had but one stirrup
leather, and that the girth was broken. Dolphin stated
on the inquest, which was held before Charles Best,
Esq., county coroner, that there was plenty of room for
Best (the prisoner) to have passed Roberts without
knocking him down. A farmer named Mansell, who
WAS in the road near where the accident happened, also
stated that there was room for a gig to have passed on
either side of the waggon. Mr. M'Namara, surgeon, of
Evesham, gave evidence that the deceased's neck had
been broken by the wheel of the waggon passing over it,
the fifth and sixth vertebra) being quite separated. The
prisoner was committed under the coroner's warrant for
trial at the next assizes.

• RITTLESNARES.---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 Auv,ust these shakes 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 TUE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY TO
AREROATII AND MONTROSE.—Of Tuesday the Castleary
branch of this railway was opened for public traffic, thus
completing the direct line between London,Terth, 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.
