BOROUGH HOP.

The changeable weather now prevalent is most unfa-
vourable for the growth of the hop plant, and the accounts
from the various plantations continue discouraging, fresh
attacks of fly being reported in many quarters. Under
these circumstances holders are by no means anxious to
sell, and the late advance is firmly maintained. Buyers
only operate to satisfy their immediate requirements.

DEATH OF SIR S. L. HAJIIIICK, BART.—Sir
Stephen Love Hanuniek, Baronet, once one of the most
celebrated surgeons of his day, died at the Crescent, Ply-
mouth, on Saturday, at the advanced aged of 91 years. In
the early part of the present century Sir Stephen Ham-
mick was the leading medical celebrity of Plymouth. Ile
removed to the metropolis, and for many years ran a suc-
cessful career, returning, as age crept over him, to Ply-
mouth, where he has peacefully ended his days. A a naval
surgeon he was interdicted from private practice, but at an
early age he commenced holding gratuitous levees, at which,
from his popular manners and reputed skill,he drew around
him crowds of patients from all ranks of life. Finding at
length, after having been about 30 years a lecturer on sur-
gery and anatomy at the Royal Naval Hospital, the field
of his exertions to be somewhat circumscribed, in 1829 he
retired from the public service. From Plymouth he re-
moved to London, where in one of the then most fashion-
able localities, Cavendish-square, he for a long series of
years pursued an extensive practice. In 1831 he was made
a baronet, and in 1843 was appointed an hon. fellow of
the Royal College of Surgeons. Ho was also for many years
a member of the senate and an examiner in surgery at the
London University. Several of his pupils afterwards be-
came very prominent members of their profession. The
deceased's eldest son, the Rev. St. Vincent L. Hammick,
vicar of Milton Abbot, succeeds to the baronetcy.
ACCIDENT TO THE COUNTESS OF FIFE.—We regret
to have to record that an accident of a somewhat serious
character happened to Lady Fife on Monday. Her lady-
ship, who had been staying for the last few days with the
Countess of Jersey at Osterley Park, was stepping from a
cab at the Southall station, when she missed her footing,
and falling fractured her left leg near the ankle. Lady Fife
was conveyed home to the family mansion in Cavendish-
square, when Mr. Henry Thompson was in immediate
attendance, and set the fractured limb.
EXTENSIVE COLLIERY STRIKE AT SUNDERLAND.
—On Monday a strike took place at Monkwearmouth Col-
liery, where over 1,000 men and boys are employed. In
working the Hutton seam a good deal of splint (i.e., bad
coal) has been met with. The men complain that greater
rigour has been exercised in forfeiting the tubs which con-
tain a proportion of "splint" than formerly, when they not
only lose the coal worked, but are also fined. Last week
the number of tubs forfeited was so large that the men de-
termined to cease work, and on Monday morning, though
the first "shift" mustered at the bank when called, they
refused to descend ; the second, or " back shift," followed
their example, and the shaft called the deep Pit was laid
idle—the whole of the hewers, putters, trappers, waggon-
way and bauksmen being laid off.
THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—SOLDO of the Great
Yarmouth boats engaged in the mackerel fishery have
brought in from 300 to 1,200 fish each during the last few
days. The average price has been 235. per 120. The Lowes-
toft boats have made very fair catches of mackerel during
the week ; the price has been about 30s. per 132. Some
quantity of mackerel has been landed at Lowestoft from
Norway.
NEW POSTAL ARRANGEMENT.—A General Post
Office notice states that all letters, book packets, and
patterns of merchandise addressed to New South Wales,
which are not directed to be sent by any particular route,
will be sent by the first mail despatched, whether via Suez
or via Panama. Newspapers for New South Wales, how-
ever, will not be sent via Panama unless prepaid at the
higher rate of twopence per four ounces.

AQUATIC ENTERPRISE. —A crew of five men, un-
der the direction of Mr. Harding, froka New Brunswick,
and bringing with them two handsome four-oared rowing
galleys, arrived at Southampton on Thursday evening' in
the steamer Atlantic, from New York, with the intention
of contesting in the forthcoming international regatta at
Paris. Tho boats are named respectively New Brunswick
No. 1 and No. 2, the latter being new and as yet untried,
34ft. long, with a flat bottom; the former, which is a nar-
rower boat, 36ft. long, and has scarcely any keel, has raced
on several occasions, and in most cases comes off the win-
ner. This enterprising party travelled by steamship from
Now Brunswick to Portland, and thence to New York, a
distance of between GOO and 700 miles, before they com-
menced the Atlantic voyage.
THE TEETH AND BREATIL—fIow often do ws find the
hum .n face divine dlail4nrei by neglecting the chiefe,t of its
ornaments, and the breath made disagreeable to companions
by non-attentio t to the Teeth! Though perfect it their
st:th,ture and composition, to keep them in a pure and
healthy' state requires some little trouble ; and if those who
are blessed with well-formed teeth knew how soon decay
steals into the mouth, making unsightly what otherwise are
delightful to admire, and designating unhealthiness by the
impurity of the breath, they would spare no expense
chase away these fatal blemishes. But although most ladles
are careful, and (yen particular in these delicate matters,
yet few are sufficiently aware of the imperative necessity of
avoiding all noxious or miaeral substances of an acrid na-
ture, and of which the greater part of the cheap tooth-
powders and pastes of the present day are composed. It is
highly satisfactory to point out Messre. Rowlands' Odonto,
or Pearl Dentifrice, as a preparJtion free from all injurious
elements, and eminently calculated to embellish and preserve
the dental structure, to impart a grateful fragrance to the
breath. and to embellish and perpetuate the graces of the
mouth.
