BOROUGH HOP.
There is a fair average business doing in good and fine
hops at very full prices, but other kinds command very
little attention. The advices from the plantations are still
unfavourable, and the duty is called £50,000 to £55,000.

A Cumous ADDRESS.—On Monday a letter from
Ireland was received at the Aspatria post-office, with. the
following address written in pencil :—" In care of Mr. Ed-
ward Wilkinson, postmaster, Spatery, Cumberland. To be
forwarded to Mr. Bernard Lambe, England. Please for-
ward this in good haste." It unfortunately happens that
the worthy postmaster neither knows Mr. Bernard Lambe
nor, his whereabouts.—Ounzberland Pacguet.

A MAN WITH FOTJI3. WIVES.—At the Liverpool
police court yesterday, a man, named John Williams, about
50 years of age, was brought up, charged with bigamy.
Two of the prisoner's wives, one of whom had only been
married to him a few months, were in court. Both women
appeared to enjoy the old man's predicament amazingly,
and often smiled when any statement of the old gentle-
man's " philanderings" came out in evidence. It trans.
pired that Williams has four wives living, and he was con-
sequently remanded for ten days, in order that the proper
witnesses might be produced. On leaving the dock the gay
Lothario cast a lingering glance, accompanied with a
"sweet" smile, at both his wives—as much as to say :
" How happy could I be with either
Were t'other dear charmer away."
It is understood that Williams holds a very good position
in Liverpool, in, the timber trade,

-
RECD PERM OF MRS. LEWIS PRICE.

For nearly nine months the Rev. Lewis Price,
the discarded of the Agapemonites, has been endea-
vouring,to regain possession of his wife, and his
persevering exertions to free her from the Agape-
mone have been noised abroad. Last Tuesday
success crowned his unwearying efforts. He and
his wife are now living together, happily we trust,
at Glastonbury. It appears that while he has been
storming the Agapemone, and searching the houses
of Henry James Prince and his adherents, the lady
has been away from the district. At the latter
end of last week Mr. Price received information that
his lady had been at Plymouth, and that she was
then at Exeter. To Exeter he accordingly hastened,
accompanied by his agent, and discovered the
lodging his wife had occupied, but not his wife
herself. He ascertained that her companion was a
lady, Mrs. Starkey, whose husband, the former
rector of Charlinch, occupies one of the chief posts
in " The Abode of Love." The result of inquiries
was that the pair had proceeded to Salisbury, and
thither Mr. Price despatched his assistant, himself
returning to Bridgwater on Sunday night, ready to
leave for wherever his agent might advise. Mrs.
Starkey has a cast in her eye, and this peculiar and
noticeable distinction enabled the agent to track
the couple with greater ease. He found that they
had been to Salisbury, and had gone in a cab
from that place to a neighbouring village called
Wilton. At Wilton he had difficulty in tracing
them, for after reaching that place the wily Mrs.
Starkey purchased new bonnets for herself and
her friend, and returned in a different cab to
Salisbury, where they took apartment 1 t 22 Fr
week. To these apartments Mr. Price's represen-
tative at last backed the pair, and so well managed
matters as to get the landlady on his side. When
this had been done, he telegraphed for his prin-
cipal, and Mr. Price left Bridgwater on Monday
afternoon for the scene of operations. It was ar-
ranged that same evening that when Mrs. Price
came down to breakfast on Tuesday morning her
husband should be introduced to her. This ar-
rangement was carried out ; and great was the
astonishment of the two ladies when the man they
imagined to be watching the Princeites' esta-
blishment, and from whom they had taken such
pains to get clear away, stood before them. There
being no Mr. Hodder, nor any of the male de-
votees of Prince in attendance, very little resist-
ance was made. Mr. Price determined to take
his wife with him to his place of abode at Glas-
tonbury forthwith, and offered to allow Mrs. Star-
key to go with them if she pleased. The female
custodian 'availed herself of the offer, hoping
perhaps to retain her influence over Mrs. Price,
the loss of whose £6,500 will prove a serious one
to the Agapemone at the present juncture. They
reached Glastonbury between eight and nine
o'clock on Tuesday night. In Bridgwater the
mews created much excitement and gratification,
where the wish is general that the Welsh curate
may be able to convince his lady of the monstrous
errors of Princeism, and induce her to heartily aid
him in compelling Prince to restore her fortune.

THE IIELIIISHORE RAILa 41' ACCI-
DENT.

Yesterday morning Colonel Yolland, accom-
panied by Mr. George Wilson, the deputy chair-
man of the Lancashire and York Railway ; Mr.
M. Fenton, the secretary ; Mr. Shaw, Mr. Lees,
and Mr. Newall, went to the scene of the late acci-
dent on this line and made several experiments as
to the speed with which 17 carriages would recede
down the incline from Helmshore. The carriages,
before leaving Bury, were weighted and made
about the same in respect as they would have been
had they been filled with passengers. The 17 car-
riages and their weights weighed on the average
5 tons 10 cwt. each, or together nearly 94 tons.
From the centre of Helmshore station platform
to the first bridge towards which the run-
away carriages receded (ar d it will be remem-
bered that the excursion train separated exactly
opposite to the centre of the station) is 145; yards ;
to the second bridge, 72-1 yards further; and to the
third bridge, 3023 yards from the centre of the
station. From this (the third) bridge to the point
of collision is 143; yards, and from the point of
collision to the fourth bridge is 43 yards. The total
distance from the centre of the station to the point
of collision is 697 f yards, but the end or tail car-
riage of the excursion train was 119 yards nearer
Ramsbottom (towards which the carriages ran) as
compared with the centre of the carriage which
separated at the Helmshore station.

When the experiments were made, the weighted
train was first run back by its own gravity,
and by the time it reached the scene of the
accident it had acquired a speed of about 15
miles an hour. This train was stopped by Newall's
break in three-quarters of a 'minute. Next the
guard was allowed to run from the llelmshore
platform, get on to his break, and apply it, and he
succeeded in stopping the train before it reached the
scene of accident. (But we should here say that
Colonel Yolland said ho could not have done this
had the rails been wet, as the speed would have
been in that case about double.) It took about two
minutes to run from the Helmshore etation to the
scene of the accident. Several other experiments
were tried, and they were of such a nature that
Colonel Yolland stated his evidence given the day
before was not in fault, and he was perfectly satis-
fied.

We should add that Colonel Yolland, as usual,
gave every facility to the reporters who were pre-
sent,

THREE TIMES ROUND THE RING.—Howe and
Cushing's American Circus visited Dumfries on Monday,
and something like a riot arose out of the refusal by the
manager to pay a sovereign promised to anyone who should
ride a mule three times round the ring without being
thrown off. A lad, named Quin, who is in the employment
of a horse-dealer, undertook the feat, and insisted that he
had ridden the mule three times round the ring and kept
his seat, notwithstanding that the reins had been cut by one
of the circus people, and everything had been done to pre-
vent him succeeding in the trial. The manager on the other
hand averred that Quin had not ridden in jockey fashion,
had nearly choked the animal by clutching it round the
neck, and lad only ridden round the ring twice, a portion
of the spectators having interfered. Quin's claims were
loudly backed by a large number of the audience, and a
mighty uproar was the result, in which some of the benches
were smashed. Quin stuck to the mule, and proceeded to
take it away home with him, followed by an immense
crowd, cheering and yelling in a state of great excitement,
and evidently anxious to ascertain the whereabouts of the
manager, who had left the circus for his lodgings. Baffled
and unsuccessful in their search, a portion of the crowd
went back to the circus, seized ono of the carriages, and
threw it into the Nith, from which, however, it was re-
covered, only slightly damaged. The money was ultimately
paid to Quin, and the mule was restored. At the last visit
of this circus to Dumfries a similar ocourrence took place,
Quin on that occasion having also claimed to have won the
money, which he did not get. —Du»!fries Courier.

FESTIVAL OF THE THREE CHOIRS.—WORCESTER,
WEDNESDAY. The musical performances have left
very little to be desired or to be carped at, while the atten-
dance and the sums realised for the Charity for the Relief of
Clergymen's Widows and Orphans have been large beyond
precedent. The amount received at the doors of the cathe-
dral yesterday was £335, besides £l4, Bs. after the early
morning service. This shows a material increase on the
first day's proceeds last year, the amount then collected
having been £259105. The attendance at last night's con-
cert at the College Hall was equally good that of the
morning. Another fine morning brought new accessiorlsrl
company to the " faithful" city to-day, to hear SP Ja
" Last Judgment" and the selection from Handers "-Lam
Maccabeus." The seats were not so well filled as yester-
day, nevertheless the attendance was decidedly good. The
oratorio " Judas Maccabeus," which concluded about half-
past three o'clock, afforded the greatest gratification. The
bells of the old cathedral rang merrily at the close of the
performance. The collection at the
,(199r0f,.th, e cathedralhe
to day for the charity amounted to £229_ 2s. 00_1_., which in-
cluded a donation from the Hon. and Rev. J. Fortescite
(canon), £2O, and £22 17s. 4d. handed over from the Glou-
cester Festivals.

common
brick, banded in different colours, the shafts of the
pillars being of red earthenware. The walls will be carried
up to a considerable height before the windows are reached,
and the greater portion of light will be obtained from the
clerestory. At the west-end is a narthex or Galilee porch,
supported by an arch of imposing span and height, and
lighted by a noble west window. Here, according to the
custom of the early churches, are the north and south doors.
, To the south are the parsonage and sexton's house. An
ecclesiastical district will be assigned to the new church out
of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, in which it is situate.
LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.—A grand
fete was given yesterday at the Crystal Palace, in aid of the
endowment fund of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum.
The summer has been so unpropitious to all kinds of
outdoor festivity that such fetes " in aid" have been rather
disasters than benefits. But the weather yesterday was
that of summer at its best, and gave to many thousands
of pleasure-seekers several hours crowded with amuse •
ments that brought into play all the resources of the
establishment. There was a cricket match, balloon ascent,
vocal and instrumental music, assisted by Distin's levia-
than drum, and four comic singers. The best feature of
the day was the dinner, given by Mr. Strange, to 150 in-
mates of the asylum; but the sight that attracted most at-
tention was the performance of a M. Blondin, who, while
the fountains were playing, crossed the central basin on a
tightrope, with his feet in baskets to increase the difficulty.
The great basin is not quite a Gulf of Niagara, nor is the
fountain so tremendous a piece of aquatics as the Fall. But
the rope was high enough from the ground to make the
spectators nervous, and the appearance of a human figure
walking in mid air above the spray was an effect altogether
novel. M. Blondin is announced as an America. , the last
mail left the Blondin, of Niagara eslebrity, in Ohio. But
if this Blohdin is not the original ho has an approximate
degree of skill. There was some dancing in the grounds in
the evening, and long after dark the grand transept _
crowded with promenaders, listening to the performance w "
the organ.
