is 0.29 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange
between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent.,
it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in
favour of England; and aftsr making allowance for differ-
ence of interest and charges of transport, the present rate
leaves a profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

TIIF
. RAILWAY Tearrics.—lt will be seen by the
traffic returns which we publish to-day, that the receipts on
the leading trunk lines continue as great as ever. The in-
crease on the London and North-Western, in the week
ending on Saturday, as compared with the corresponding
week last year, is upwards of 14,000/, while on the Great
'estern the increase exceeds 10,0001., or upwards of 70 per
cent. These enormous takings must tell on the value of rail-
way property. No wonder that the " Bears" should become
frightened.—Advertiser.
HUMAN SACRIFICES.—The day of human sacrifices
is not yet ended. During a six weeks' stay of Mr. Becroft,
a British Consul, in Abomey, the capital of the kingdom of
Dahomey, forty-two persons were killed as sacrifices, to
water the graves of the dead." So numerous are such sacri-
fices there, that the place is characterised as " the Golgotha
of skulls."

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.
THREE LIVES LOST.
We received last evening a communication to the fol-
lowing effect from Lees, near Oldham:—
About nine o'clock this (Tuesday) morning, the boiler
belonging to the mill of Messrs. Rhodes and Co., of Hey,
burst—it is said somewhere near the dust-hole, in the
bottom of the boiler—and of course the steam rushed out
with tremendous force into the fire-hole. Over the boiler
was a willow-room in which three men Were working, and
the force of the steam threw upwards

concealing the aperture it had made in the floor, they
unfortunately fell through it into the steam and boil-
ing water in the boiler-house below. Two of them
were almost instantaneously killed. When the
steam had passed off, and the water flowed away, the
third man was extricated, still living, but he expired in
a few moments afterwards. It is generally thought that
the boiler was short of water; and it is said that the
water-pump had just been looked to, and set to work.
Another statetnent is, that there was no whistle to in-
dicate the quantum of water in the boiler. The boiler
is almost a new one.
Our correspondent adds the following suggestions:—
That boilers should always be outside, and detached
from the mill or works; that they should
always have
attached to them a whistle, to indicate the state of the
water; one or two sufficient safety-valves; and a mer-
cury gauge, to indicate the pressure of steam in the
boiler.
Previously to receiving the above communication, we
had heard a vague rumour of this fatal accident, and had
dispatched a reporter to the spot. He was enabled to
glean the following additional particulars. Hey is about
two miles east of Oldham, as the crow flies. The pre-
mises on which the accident has occurred are the pro-
perty of Messrs. James Rhodes and Brothers, and con-

of the smaller
ones are occupied by Messrs. Fielden and
Schofield, who, as well as Messrs. Rhodes, are cotton
spinners. The' larger building is filled with machinery,

the whole of which, in both the occupancies, is turned by

Verdict—" Accidental death."

TENTERDEN.—The hops have improved during the
last week, where they are free from vermin; but upon
the whole not more than half a crop can be expected.
ORPINGTON.—The hops in our parish and St. Mary
Cray are going daily from bad to worse. Our land does
not appear to suit hops, and the only wonder is that
hops are cultivated about here.
FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, JULY
28.—Since last Thursday we have a decided improve-

(From the Maidstone Journal.)
MAIDSTONE, JULY 28.—As far as our observations
go, the variable and wet weather of the past week has
not but in a very few instances improved the hop planta-
tions of this neighbourhood, and though there are
many gardens, especially about Farleigh, still free from
blight, and which continue to maintain their healthy and
vigorous appearance, we cannot announce that the pros-
pects of the hop-growers generally are improving—
many of the gardens that were foul with vermin have
already turned black from the growth of the usual fungus
on the honey dew.
AYLESFORD.—Notwithstanding the heavy rains we
have had during the past week, the vermin still are as
numerous as before. A very short crop this year.
BIRLING.—We are very indifferent here—rather worse
than last week.
LINTON.—Our bine has grown considerably since the
rain, but we have also an increase of vermin in our up-
per grounds—some of them are getting worse every day.
MARDEN.—In some grounds a decided improvement
is observable, in others the hops appear stationary.
STAPLEHURST.—The effect of the late rain is visible
in a few places in this parish; but speaking generally
the plant is weakly, owing to the ravages of the vermin
with which they are still infested, and precludes the
possibility of growing anything like a crop.

The plaintiff stated that on Easter Monday last he
was engaged by the defendant to perform " characters,"
at a salary of 21. per week. The first part he took was
that of Sir Roger de Coverley, then the Bottle Imp, Ro-
chester, in Charles the Second, the Marquis, in Faint
Heart Never Won Fair Lady, 86c. He went on very
well, and with apparent satisfaction to the management,
till Wednesday, the 2d instant, when, being requested
to take the subordinate part of Captain Gervais, the first
officer of Sir E. Bulwer Lytton's play of the Lady of
Lyons, he indignantly refused, and was immediately dis-
missed, 11. being offered him for three nights' services
from the Saturday, on which night an engagement com-
mences from, and which he would not accept, as ho
thought he was entitled to his 21. for the current week,
and 81., a month's salary, in lieu of a month's notice.
For these amounts he now had instituted the present
proceedings.
Mr. John Richard Smitb, an actor of 59 years' stand-
ing, said he was the original Bottle Imp, and from his
experience, thought the man who played such a part
would lower himself by acting as Captain Gervais, which
ought only to be appointed to what were termed "utility
men," or men who did anything.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Attwood, who styled himself an " Old Actor,"
coincided with the last witness. What was termed a
" utility man" was not even on a footing with a walking
gentleman.—(Laughter.)
JUDGE—What is a walking gentleman? Mr. Smith
—Perhaps, from my long experience, I can tell your
Honour, if Mr. Attwood will allow me. It is a distinct
line of character frequently performed by the plaintiff,
and represents a devout lover and a well-dress ed young
man.—(Laughter.)
His HONOUR here observed that no evidence was
brought forward of any specific arrangement between
the plaintiff and defendant, and he could not even give
judgment for the 11. alleged to have been offered. With-
out, therefore, calling upon Mr. Herring to reply, he
should give judgment in favour of his client, with an
order upon the plaintiff for the costs of his attorney.
