Th 3 Hop and Milt Exchange.

On Friday the foundation stone of the Hop and
Malt Exchange and Warehouse Company (Limited)
buildings was laid by Sir Brook W. Bridges, M.P.
The building, of which Mr. Moore is architect, has a
frontage of 320 ft. in Southwark-street, and encloses
an area of nearly 26,000 square feet, and being im-
mediately opposite the new premises of the Hop
Planters' Association, in the centre of the hop
trade operations, and in close proximity to the
borough branches of the London and County,
London and Westminster, and Alliance Banks,
occupies, perhaps, the most eligible site that
could be selected for the purposes of the company
in the borough. From the locality, magnitude,
and appointments of the building, it is calculated
to afford every facility for the transaction of busi-
ness according to the various requirements of the
trade, so that growers, merchants, dealers, and
buyers will have the advantage of a ready and well
attended market close to the terminus of the rail-
ways which pass through the hop-growing districts
of Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, and thus avoid the
inconvenience of visiting the merchants' counting-
houses in various parts of the borough. Space is
also to be provided for private and general offices,
stowage of stock, and samples' and show-rooms,
with every requisite for the complete accommoda-
tion of tenants and shareholders. The proceedings
were commenced by Mr. Ogilvy, one of the direc-
tors of the Company, who introduced Sir Brook
Bridges, whom they had invited to lay the foun-
dation stone, as representing one of the divisions of
the county of Kent, peculiarly interested in the
production of hops. The hon. baronet was re-
ceived with loud cheers by the shareholders, hop-
growers, brewers, and others interested in the hop
and malt trades who were present. The secretary,
Mr. Herbert R. Duke, then read the prospectus of
the company, which, along with the articles of the
association and the coins of the realm, Sir B. Bridges
deposited in the cavity over which the foundation
stone was laid, and cemented with the accustomed
formalities, the worthy baronet wishing a happy
and prosperous future to the building so auspi-
ciously commenced. Immediately after the cere-
mony an elegant lunch, supplied by Messrs. Ber-
tram and Roberts, of the Crystal Palace, was pro-
vided by the company under an awning on part of
the site to be occupied by the building. Sir Brook
Bridges presided, supported by Messrs. Ogilvy,
Dyer, Lucas, Conybeare, Humphreys, Addis, and
Taylor, directors ; Mr. Slater, manager; Mr. Duke,
secretary ; Mr. Moore, architect, &c. Covers were
laid for 80 ; the viands, wines, fruits, &c., were of
the choicest character. After, the usual loyal toasts,
the chairman proposed " Prosperity to the Hop
and Commercial Exchange Company," and testi-
fied to the beneficial effect which he had no doubt
the building they had inaugurated was destined to
have on the interests of hop-growers, dealers, buy-
ers, and consumers in general. The legislation of
last Session showed in the strongest manner the ne-
cessity of some such institution as this. Powers were
given of an extraordinarycharacter,requiring the vari-
ous growths of hops should be marked, so that pro-
ducers and consumers might be satisfied that no
adulteration had taken place. Indeed, the arrange-
ments of the company were such as in a great de-
gree to enable them to implement satisfactorily the
requirements of the Legislature. The toast was
acknowledged by Mr. Ogilvy. Mr. Conybeare
proposed the health of the chairman, Sir Brook
Bridges, who returned thanks, and gave " The Di-
rectors," which was acknowledged by Mr. Hum-
phreys, after which the company separated.

such a degree that the patient, retaining his consciousness,

without the slightest sensation of physical suffering."—Daily
