MAIDSTONE, MAY 26. - The hop bines are
still growing with great rapidity, and although the ravages
of the fly are slightly perceptible in some grounds, yet
we have no reason to believe that it has inerea.ed since
our last.

Such is the promising appearance of the
apple trees in Somersershire that in the hundred of Mart-

Parliamentary returns have been just printed
of the number of American and British ships entered in-
wards into the port of Liverpool from New York from
the Ist of January, 1632, to the Ist of January, 1833,
which present ti.e following statement :—American ships
68, tonnage 35,403; British ships 23, tonnage 7,178.
There were imported into Liverpool last year from the
United States 552 036 ba es of cotton, of which number
375.567 bales were imported in American, and 206,471
bales in British ships. The export of salt from Liverpool.
to Rossia in the same period amounted to 14 919 tons, or
the value of 7,2951., the whole of which was exported in
foreign ships.
It appears from a return just printed, by order
of the House of Commons, of the number of commissions
of bankrupt issued from the let of January, 1823, ►o the
Ist of January, 1833, that there were during those ten
years 691 commissions issued, of winch number 107 were
superseded ; and in 259 cases certificates were granted.
Tiir greatest number of bankruptcies occurred in 1826 in
which year there were 90 commissions issued ; and the
smallest number in 1924, when there were only 52. In
1829, the number was 78 ; in 1830,64 ; in 1831, 69 ;
and last year the number was diminished to 56.
SURPRISING HORSEMANSHIP.--On the
morning of the 20th, Captain PARKER, of the Royal Ar-
tillery, at Charlemont, rode his bay horse, the
Admiral, from Charlemont Fort to Newry and back, in
two hours and twenty five minutes I—a distance of 53
English miles. The time allowed for the performance
was three hours ; but the Captain having got considerable
odds that he would not do it in two hours and a half, won
all his bets by having five minutes to spare. Thus (lid I.e
accomplish the astonishing distance of twenty-one miles
an hour with one horse, which exceeds by far all feats of
horsemanship ever performed in the sporting world.—

LIMERICK POLITICAL UNION.—At a
meeting of the Limerick Political Union on Monday last,
which took place under the pretext of complimenting the
Messrs. RocuE on the failure of the petition against their
return, Mr. STEELE, the Chairman„ is reported to have
spoken in the following strain :—" Had the Coercive 13ill
passed into law in the House of Commons as it had come
to it from Pandemonium—the Pandemonium of the House
of Lords—it would, he declared, be, in his opinion, the
duty of O'CONNELL to put himself at the head of the
people, and of all Ireland at that moment to burst into
one volcanic rebellion.—(Tremendous cheers ) He had
now gone through all he hail said before the minions of
the Government, and those who lie had thought would
report to Government what he had said ; and he would
repeat, that had that Coercive Bill passed into law as it
bad come to the Commons from Pandemonium, no Irish-
man would deserve to live one hour if he did not take his
pike in his hand to oppose it.—(Grea►. cheers.)"—Dublin

The first review of Horace Walpole's letters to Sir Horace
Mann (the sealed MS., only opened at a limited period
after the writer's death, now most ably edited by Lord
Dover, and not yet ptablislied), supplies a copious store of
curious and interesting anecdote, wit, personal story, and
political intelligi nce, during the last 20 years of George 11.
The Parson's Daughter, by Theodore Hook ; the Post-
humous Works of Goethe, Memoirs of Mrs. Inclibald,
Kidd's Bridgwater Essay, Pellico's 31emoirs, Mrs. Trol-
lope's Novel and Poetry, &c. &c., fill up this department
with much various literature; while among the original
at tides may be announced characteristic and amusing Me-
moranda of Kean during the least known period of his
life, previous to his great London debut ; and an account
of one of the most superb monuments of Roman art (a
mosaic) just discovered at Rome. The general epitome
of Public Meetings, Learned Societies, Exhibitions, Fine
Arts, Progress of Sciences, the Dr sma, &c., &c., complete
this weekly picture of the passing time.

of an incendiary, and a reward of 501. is off-red on con-
viction of the offender.—North Devon .Advertiser.

No. 19, Lady Lawson's Wynd (top flat), West Puri a
venerable matron, named Mrs. BUTLER, the days of whose
pilgrimage have Already outnumbered those of any indi-
vidual now living in Edinburgh. Site was born in DlM-
fries upon the 4th of June, old style, 1728, and will, if she
lives until her birthday in June next, have attained the
patriarchal age of 105 years! She was 17 years old in

stirring period. She was with her husband in the army
for a considerable length of time, has had 15 children, and

years old. Mrs. BUTLER'S eyesight, hearing, And memory
.re all remarkably good, considering her great age;

tete-a-tete with her is worth more than a trifle.—
