GRANBROOK.—The hop gathering may ha said to to
completed, with one or two exceptions. The lati picking,
rAther brown, but the quality is good, and although
prices have been depressed for this week or two, we have
a confident hope of better terms if the growers do iaot
produce a panic.
TicEmunsT.—The hop picking. in this pariA' is now
brought to a close, and from the best information that
can hf; obtained we shall average from nine to ten cwt.
per acre.

SEVENOAKEL —The hops in this district aro all .picked
and weighed, and we are of opinion the aisrage per acre
and the duty will be found about the same as in the year
1835.

iSIIOREHAISI AND OTronn.—Picking and curing for this
year is at an end ; we havo been favoured with an excel-
lent crop, and the quality on the whole is good. Tim
complaint of wanting many more bushels to the cwt. than
customary has been general in these parishes,
SEAL.---The plantation in this parish is large, and the
crop has been very good, as also the quality. The esti-
mated duty is considered too high.
ROCHESTER.-11cp picking may be considered finished
in this district, and Lops have come down generally fully
one-third of last year's growth. In many p
colour has been lost entirely, and in almost in every part
of the county there has been an overabundance of pickers.
The results of the picking having been prettly closely
as-
certained, the duty may be considered to be !Janie"

Flatman gave Fulbeck a merry pipe opener on the
plantation side of the town. The horse went free and
well, yet an opinion obtains here that he is not exactly
the class horse to win a great race like the Cesarewitch.
Still his party have not abated their fondness one jot,
and lam compelled to acknowledge that I share to a
certain extf:nt their confidence. Oh f the rejoicings at
the Victori a Club should the Brighton horse win, and
prove that Mr. Pattieon is, after all, capable of better
things tha• a training• a hack on the Steyne / In justice
it must be admitted that this year he has sent Fulbeck to
the poet ill a condition which would have been creditable
to the mo at fashionable trainer. The horse has certainly
held his place in the betting with wonderful firmness,
and even the well-planned show of opposition which was
got up ai;ainst him in the City produced only a tempo-
rary effect on the horse's position, and was immediately
discovered to be a weak invention of the enemy.
Opinions are divided about Malacca, who was galloped
this morning from the ditch alongside of the Cesarewitch
course . His style of going certainly left nothing to be
desire 1. Still I agree with those who hold to the belief
that the winning of plates and sweepstakes at Cardiff is
not tuite a satisfactory recommendation to notice. If
Ma;acca exhibited his true form at Epsom, where he was
freeily backed for the Summer Handicap, but for which
event be was, if my memory serves me aright, beaten off,
he cannot have sufficiently improved to possess even a
ghost of chance of carrying off the great event
oct Tuesday next. It is popularly believed
that Mr. T. Parr has discovered a kind
of powder, by which marvellous powers are imparted to
bis horses, and it is further believed that those powders
he employed with good effect on Weathergage, Sauce-
boi:, Montague, and others. Still, he may employ " what
drt gs, what charms, what mighty magic" he pleases on
MaAcca, and then I think his means will not be patent
enot.gh to insure the triumph of his colours.
manner of reports are in circulation about Pole
Star, some to the effect that the money is not " on,"
others that the mare was never better, and that she is
really intended. Now, I believe Pole Star to be a good
mare, and, should she start, I shall expect to see her
obtain a ♦ery forward position. She has shown her
ability to get through dirt, and should more rain fall
that ability will certainly be tested to the utmost..
Still, people who are shrewd judges, believe in Speed
the Plough—an animal in the same stable with Pole
Star. The old horse is very well, and I am fain to con.
fees that his success is one of the things dreamt of
in my philosophy.

I saw Cotswold come into the town this morning,
and to judge from his appearance " between the sheets'
he is in capital condition. He may be a good horse, but
I fancy that his weight will "put the stopper on him."
Barflenr was on the heath this morning, and galloped
in good style. Merlin was also out and looked well,
and full of muscle. Still, I do not deem him capable
of giving illbs, to Barflenr, and shall not expect to see
him obtain so forward a position for the Cesarewitela as
he did for the Ebor Handicap. Of William Day's lot
December is only now talked about, but I think his
hackersinay as well seek " iee in June as sunshine in
December." Alice Wentworth seems quite gone, and
Termagant, of whom some expectations were formed,
does not appear to be " coming."
King of Scotland, who was much fancied towards
the end of last week, was, I am informed, tried on
Saturday and found wanting. The King's pretensions
were never in my opinion very formidable.
Of Messrs. Saxon and Barber's lot I prefer the
Prince of Orange, who appears to be in running con-
dition, and, if he should be the trusted representative
of the stable, I shall expect him to take no inglorious
part in the race.
An analysis of the respective chances would only
unnecessarily occupy space. Above I have placed before
the reader what information I have been enabled to
obtain, and have briefly expressed ray opinion on the
principal competitors. My " notions" as to the result
of the race are as under :
The first rank will comprise Speed the Plough, Pole
Star, Fulbeck, Vengeance, Cotswold, Prince of Orange,
Merlin, Bartieur, and Malacca. Of these I shall
"stand on "

FT LBECK, VENGEANCE, and POLE STAR,
and shall reserve SPEED THE PLOUGH for a " cockboa "
Notwithstanding the fuss which is made about Sydney
for the Clearwell, I shall stick to my old favourite
Lambourne, and, despite his Gibs. penalty, I shall expect
Lim to pull through. Western Power will win the
Bedford Stakes. The Bretby Stakes I assign to Queen
of the East. Sydney's running for the Prendergast
will, of coarse, materially depend upon his performance
for the Clearwell. My present fancy for the former
event, therefore, pointi to Drumonr. Goldfinch, who
looks many pounds better than he did at Doncaster, will
beat the Physalia colt for the Produce Stakes.
I have received a strange account of the race for the
Two-Year-Old Stakes at Bedford, and there are persons
who unhesitatingly express their opinion that Gemma
Vergy ought to have beaten Tournament by at least two
lengths. Tournament, it is said, lathered considerably
before the start ; and that, in fact, lie was not the same
horse, so far as health was concerned, that he was at
Doncaster,
W 8 Gamma di Vergy had evidently re-
covered the form which be had lost before meeting
Tournament in Yorkshire. I did not see the race at
Bedford, and, of course, I have only hearsay reports to
guide me. Gemma di Vergybadly , got somewhat
but I may say that, so far as foul play was concerned, I
don't believe a word of the reports in circulation.

These two great aquatic celebrities have been matched
to row two races on their respective waters. The stake
in each match is 561. a side, 401. of which sum has
been deposited. The first race will be in London, on
Thursday, the 18th of November, from Putney to
Mortlake ; and the second will take place at Norwich,
from Surlingham to Thorpe, on Thursday, November
27, each course extending four and a half miles. The
performances of both men have been very brilliant.
Buttle commenced his career in 1850, beating Aldred,
of Nerwich, in a sculler's match at Thorpe. In
1841 he defeated F. Lett, who capsized, and in three days
afterwards rowed him again, and was again victorious,
since which he has acquired additional fame, and is now
champion of Norwich. Kelly made his debut somewhat
later, scarcely being heard of till 1854, in the Royal
Thames National Regatta, at Putney, where he defeated
John Mackinney, and others of great celebrity. In 1855,
in the new regatta, he again defeated John Mackinney,
but, owing to some dispute, was disqualified. Conse-
quent upon this another race was made between him and
bis old opponent Mackinney, when the latter capsizing,
Kelly of course won, and they again rowed in the spring
of the present year, when he once more defeated Mac-
kinney. After this he was repeatedly victorious, and at
the Manchester Regatta won in the four, pair, and scul-
lers' races, and in the regatta at Putney this year was
again unusually successful, and is now matched to row
James Messenger, the champion of the Thames.
