THE PENINSULAR _MAILS.

The screw steamer Alhambra (of the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's fleet), Captain J. D.
Steward, arrived at Southampton at 2 p.m. yester-
day, with mails from Lisbon of the 17th inst., and
from Vigo of the 18th, in charge of Capt. Robinson,
R.N., Admiralty agent. Bad weather prevented
the Alhambra communicating with Oporto. She
had fresh north-westerly breezes and cloudy
weather on the 17th, and subsequently experienced
a succession of strong south-westerly gales, with
thick weather and heavy rains.
The Alhambra brought nine passengers, includ-
ing Dr. Somerville, R.N., and Mr. Wright, assistant-
surgeon, R.N. ; and on freight £2,200 in specie,
76 half-chests of oranges, 341 cases of eggs, and 16
packages of general merchandise.
The Royal Mail Company's steamship Oneida
arrived at Lisbon on the 13th from Southampton,
and sailed at 4.30 p.m. for the Brazils.
When the Alhambra left Lisbon there were lying
in the Tagus her Majesty's steamships Edgar, Tra-
falgar, St. Jean d'Acre, and steam frigate Diadem.
The Algiers had left the previous day for Malta.
There had been no debates in the Cortes of par-
ticular interest. It was understood the Pope's
Nuncio, M. Ferrari, would be allowed to remain
at the Court of Lisbon, notwithstanding the pub-
lication of his unfortunate despatch, and that no
opposition would, in consequence, be made to the
Portuguese Government's capitalizing the church
property.

Exchanges for three months were quoted this
packet, on London, 541 ; Paris, 527 ; Hamburg,
481; Amsterdam, 421 ; Genoa, 524 ; Portuguese
Three per Cent. Stock, registered, 471 471 ; cou-
pons, 471- 471; Deferred, 381 39 ; Bank of Portu-
gal shares, 14 141 per cent. premium.
The steamship Coralline, of Glasgow, was at
Vigo.
At noon on the 20th, in lat. 48.6 N., long. 5.30
W., the Alhambra passed the Peninsular and
Oriental steamer Tagus, bound for Lisbon ; and at
5 a.m. on the 21st, off the Start, the Pera, bound
for Gibraltar.

The Alhambra will take out the return mails
for the Peninsular ports on Wednesday next, the
27th inst.

711 E BOP GROWERS AND 7118 CHAN-
CELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.

Yesterday afternoon —a
numerously attended
public meeting of the hop planters of Kent was
held, at the assembly room of the Star Hotel, Maid-
stone, to consider what steps should be adopted in
consequence of the refusal of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer to grant a further postponement of the
duty payable in respect to the crop of 1859, or to
receive a deputation on that subject. The chair
was occupied by Mr. Pannett, of Chart; and
amongst the most extensive planters present were
Messrs. J. Whatman (formerly M.P. for West Kent)
Elvy, Hartridge, Collier, Mercer, Buckland, Sim-
monds, Park, Clifford, Hatch, Stuart, and Hayes.
Letters were received from Lord Holmesdale and
Sir E. Filmer, members for West Kent, expressive
of regret for their unavoidable absence.

The CHAIRMAN observed that the meeting had
been originally convened for the purpose of appoint-
ing members of a deputation to wait upon Mr.
Gladstone, but it had since transpired that no such
deputation would be received by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and therefore they knew what to
expect. The chairman then read a letter from Mr.
Gladstone, to the effect that he went to the extreme
verge of his authority on a former occasion by
granting a postponement of the duty, and he could
not now accede to a postponement of that postpone-
ment. They had now met to consider the present
state of the question, and to say whether they
would remain content with the treatment they had
received at the hands of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer. (No, no.) The Sussex planters had
already decided to adopt active measures to obtain
a reversal of Mr. Gladstone's refusal. Several in-
fluential members of Parliament had promised their
co-operation, and it would be well for that meeting
to consider what course should be taken by the
Kentish planters.
Mr. ELVY (of Yalding) moved a resolution re-
questing the county members to continue their
exertions for a postponement of the duty.
Mr. HARTRIDGE seconded the motion, which was
unanimously adopted.
Mr. HATCH, Mr. HAYES, and other gentlemen,
addressed the meeting, and it was resolved to co-
operate with the Sussex planters to obtain a fur-
ther postponement of the duty by every legal
means.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the
proceedings.

M. MIRES AND THE 2U.RICISH LOAN.

A statement published yesterday morning that
£280,000 of Constantinople bills fall due on M.
Mires •to-day is fortunately quite incorrect. No
bills whatever drawn from that quarter upon M.
Mires become due until the 12th March. Between
that date and the 26th of the same month, there
will arrive at maturity 11,666,000 f. (£466,000) of
bills at three months' sight, which were drawn on
the 12th and 26th November upon M. Mires by his
agents at Constantinople, Messrs. Arland Court
and Co., to order of the Turkish Government, and
which were on account of the first instalment on
M. Mires' Turkish Loan. Of this amount 10,000,000 f.
(£400,000) have already been discounted by the
Societe de Credit Industriel of Paris, who had been
provided by M. Mires with securities by way of
cover. The balance is too small to admit of a doubt
of its being provided for. In the beginning of Feb-
ruary there were also drawn upon M. Mires from Con-
stantinople bills to a further amount of 11,666,000 f.,
at 45 days'date, which fall due on the 15th of March.
Of this amount 4,000,000 f. have already been dis-
counted, it is believed, by M. Mires himself, through
the intervention of the Turkish Minister in London,
and the proceeds (£160,000) have come into the
hands of the agen ts of the London Loan of 1858, and
will be applied to the dividend due the Ist March
on that stock. There thus remain between 7,000,000 f.
and 8,000,000 f. (say £300,000) of bills on M. Mires,
due the 15th March, for which no provision has yet
apparently been made, but which are fully expected
to be met in due course. They are on account of the
second, instalment of the loan, and all bear the
endorsement of the Turkish Government. There is,
therefore, no instant cause of anxiety. Meanwhile
the Greek interest continues to manifest an unex-
pected degree of strength under the existing critical
circumstances. A loose statement was published
this afternoon upon the authority of the Levant
herald to the effect that the whole of the Galata
houses were expected to stop payment. This state-
ment is dated the 16th inst. News by telegraph
has, however, been received to the 20th, when the
Greek houses, instead of stopping payment, had
just shipped a further large amount of gold—com-
puted at about £loo,ooo—for Marseilles.
At Paris the Mires scandal continues to excite
great attention, In addition to M, Mires, MM.
Solar and Avond, two financiers associated with
him, are said to have been arrested. It is also said
that one nobleman has cut his throat, and that two
more hare fled. These are the fruits of the gigantic
system of Bourse jobbing which has extended into
the highest circles, and which has long compromised
the French Government in the eyes of Europe.—

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE.--011 Tues-
day Mr. John Palmer Sharp, a butcher, of Brigg, in com-
fortable circumstances, cut his wife's throat, and afterwards
his own. For some time past they have lived very unhap •
pity, and on several occasions, when in a state of excite-
ment, caused through drink and jealousy, he being a person
advanced in life, while his wife is not more than 20, he has
threatened her. On Tuesday, they having had some angry
words, he took a clasp knife, and deliberately cut his wife's
throat, whilst she was in bed, in a most shocking manner,
and then cut his own. Be at once rau downstairs and
alarmed the neighbours, who sent for the neatest medical
assistance. The wounds were dressed, and although they
were found to be very extensive, the lives of the unhappy
individuals are not despaired of. During the day the pri-
soner Sharp was able to speak, and was informed that he.
must consider himself in custody, to answer the charge at
the Lincoln assizes, to be held in March next.

GREA I DES7RUCTION OF _RUSSIAN

GRAI;v- BY LOCUSTS.

The following is front the circular of Messrs.
Carr, of Rostock:—

The total shipments of wheat from Russia up to
the end of September were 684,871 quarters,
against 508,105 quarters in 1859. Taking into
account the sad havoc done by the locusts in the
whole of Southern Russia, Russian and Austrian
Poland—the devastation being so enormous that
in the Odessa districts alone some 400,000 or
500,000 quarters of wheat were destroyed—and
considerinc, that from the St. Petersburg, Riga,
and Archangel districts, and from Poland
the yield is not great, but the reverse, I
think I may estimate Russia and Russian Poland's
capabilities or exports for the next campaign at
one million quarters.

Having so often been written to and asked to give
an idea of the devastation committed by the
locusts, it may not be out of place, once for all, now
to do so. In the distance a swarm of locusts looks
like a dark thunder-cloud, and as they approach a
whistling sound is heard in the air, similar to a
violent thunder-storm ; the sun, if shining at the
time, is darkened, and the temperature becomes
5 or 10 deg. Reaumer, cooler, as the warmth of the
sun is prevented from penetrating the mass.
The swarm takes from twelve to fifteen hours
to pass over, and the enormous mass or quantity of
this fearful scourge in the atmosphere, as far as
the eye can reach, makes such an overpowering
impression on the human frame that a person feels
such an inward depressing feeling, such as difficult
breathing, and inability to shake off the horror-
striken nervous sensation. Business is suspended.
1 If these plagues have once reached the ground the
earth is for several miles in extent a foot deep at
least with them, and they do not ascend until they
have eaten every particle of grain, pulse, grass,
&c., and the soil then looks as if it had been laid
waste by fire. _ _

These insects can only be got rid of when they
are not tired and able to fly away, when a great
noise is made and several thousands of persons set
to work together ; indeed, it often happens that
the Government sends two or three regiments of
soldiers to assist the farmers ; if, however, the
swarms are tired and so enormous that they cover
the fields a foot deep or more, then it is not in the
power of human beings to prevent their commit-
ting sad havoc, and when killed and left on the
ground (or should a swarm be driven into the
sea and afterwards washed ashore) the stench is
past bearing and generally is followed by a pesti-
lent disease.

According to a map drawn whilst the Governor
General of Odessa made a tour of inspection early
last May, about seventy-five Russian square miles
were covered with the eggs of these insects. In
the fields surrounding the small Polish town of
Tomaszow no less than 625 baskets of living locusts
(each basket containing about 6,400, and 554
gornats of 15,600 eggs each, making in all about
four million locusts and nine million eggs) were
delivered to the burgomaster of the place.

THE GALE AT PLYMOUTH.

PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, 7 P.M.
The storms continues. About noon it increased
gradually to a hurricane. The Narcissus, Geyser,
and Philomel are in the Admiralty anchorage,
inside the breakwater. In the merchant anchor-
age there may be 40 vessels in all. About 3 o'clock
the American barque Hiawatha, Captain Hull, from
Havre, of and for New York, in ballast, fouled a
Belgian brigantine, and both went ashore in Batten
Bay. The Belgian is called the Joseph, Captain
Louves, from Liverpool, with salt for Ostend. The
American bark will probably become a total wreck ;
the Belgian may be got off if the weather mode-
rates. Shortly after a strange English bark came
in from sea and attempted to anchor, but, having
her canvass loose, she drove ashore ; her masts
have been cut away. In driving ashore she
got across the schooner Devon, Captain Fowler,
belonging to the South Devon Shipping Company,
and carried away her bowsprit and foremast. The
Devon is from Wales, with railway iron, for Lon-
don. After this, a small schooner, with a running
bowsprit, went ashore on the Batten ; name un-
known ; crew saved. At the same time the
schooner Pigeon, Captain Hinkley, belonging to
Plymouth, went ashore under the Hoe and Citadel ;
crew saved. She has on board 500 barrels of gun-
powder, received from the ship Indian Empire,
Captain Black, bound to Melbourne, and which
put into Plymouth Sound on the 18th inst. with
mainmast gone. The Pigeon was to have retained
the gunpowder in the Sound until the ship had
been into harbour for repair. The strange barque
will probably become a wreck. We do not hear of
any loss of life by these wrecks.

DEATH OF MR. SECKER, THE MAGISTRATE.--
Shortly after the commencement of the business of the
Marylebone Police- court, it was rumoured that Mr. Seeker,
who for many weeks has been unable to perform his duty
owing to indisposition, had expired. His worthy colleague,
Mr. Mansfield, upon receiving the information, directed
Burrage, one of the warrant officers, to proceed at once to
Mr. Seeker's chambers, Essex-court, Temple, to ascertain
whether the rumour was correct or not. He did so, and on
his return stated that the much-lamented gentleman ex-
pired at half-past 5 o'clock the previous morning. It is a
remarkable circumstance that within the last eight or nine
months death has claimed no fewer than three of the Mary-
lebone magistrates, viz., Mr. Broughton, Mr. Hammill,
and the one whose dissolution we have now the sad duty to
record.

NEW TRINITY WORKS DEPOT.—An extensive
and important establishment is being formed by the Board
of Trinity on the north shore of Milford Haven, near to
Pembroke Ferry. The works are estimated to cost £lO,OOO,
and are to consist of pier storehouses, walled enclosures,
and houses for the workmen, forming a perfect depot for the
whole of the western coast so as to store supplies for the
lighthouses along the Bristol and St. George's Channels,
and the Irish sea. A large body of men are at work under
the contractor, Mr. Douglas, in preparing the ground, &c.
THE WRECK OF THE STEAMER METROPOLIS.—
JERSEY, Feb. 20.—The hull of this ship, broken in two
parts, has now drifted to some distance from the spot where
she struck and went down, and is buried in the sand. The
steam-tug Experiment has been occupied for some time in
salvage operations, and will continue to be so for some time
to come should the weather continue favourable. She takes
out two divers, who have already recovered several cases of
copper and other articles. The total salvage up to the
present time amounts to some 60 casks of spirits, 40 pipes of
wine, the cases of copper referred to, and a few miscellane-
ous articles more or less damaged by sea water. Of the
considerable quantity of malt liquor on board, the whole,
or nearly the whole, will be lost, the bungs having been
forced out by the fermentation consequent on the tossing
the casks have received. On Saturday 13 casks of spirits
were found in the Bay of Grouville on the east of the island.
There have, of course, been several instances of misappro-
priation of the portable part of the cargo. On Saturday two
men who had been employed by Lloyd's agent in the carriage
of a pipe of wine and a cask of gin from St. Brelade's Bay
were convicted before Jurat De Quetteville at the Court of
Correctional Police, and sentenced to short terms of im-
prisonment, for stealing a considerable portion of the liquor
in their charge. On the same day, at Gorey, two officers of
the Impot discovered three hogsheads of gin hidden, one
buried in a publican's garden, and the other two concealed
in the sand above high water mark, with an old boat turned
upside down above the spot; and yesterday two hogsheads
of port wine were found in St. John's parish, hidden in a
clump of furze. It is understood that the owners of the
Metropolis will put a fast-sailing vessel on the station at
once, to be replaced as soon as possible by another suitable
steamer. On Saturday the Harbour Committee of the
States of Legislative Assembly met to inquire into the
cause of the wreck. The sitting was private, but we learn
that both Captain Corr and the pilot, John Battam, were
examined, and that the latter was deprived of his license
by the committee.

-
TIIE HORSE. NAILMAKERS ' STRIKE.—The pub-
lication of a notice stating that various firms in the trade
were willing to take on and teach persons the trade who had
never been connected in any way with it before, has had the
natural effect of calling forth numerous applieants—common
nailmakers, chainmakors, and others. The number of appli-
cations would undoubtedly be greater but for the fact that
those on strike exercise such a terrorising influence over all
those who have not joined their ranks : still we unders'and
that several new hands would be put on yesterday morning.
A meeting of those on strike was held on Saturdaymorning
in Dudley, which was numerously attended, and after it
was over about 200 nailers in the most wretched distress
were to be seen walking about the streets of the town. The
meetings are naturally of a private nature, and therefore it is
difficult to ascertain accurately what business is transacted at
them. One thing however is certain, that the " Unionists"
during the past week have made such a use of their influ-
ence, that many men who had taken out iron from ware-
houses at the beginning of the week to work up into nails
brought it back on Saturday uninanufactured, the men evi-
dently being afraid to go in contravention of the union
laws. The iron, however, was not taken in, and conse-
quently the men will have to work it up, or subject

and a considerable amount of tacit intimidation was going
on. The precautions 1 hat have been taken, and the reward
offered for the convidiou of " in, iwidators," prevented any
actively offensive measures being resorted to ; but still two
men trespassed so far near the confines of the offence that
they were given into custody. Eventually, however, they
were discharged, as the evidence of intimidation was legally
insufficient. The influence of the tacit intimidation exer-
cised—although it is difficult to make it amenable to the
law—is so great that between 100 and 150 turned out on
Saturday night in the neighbourhood of Gornal and Sedg-
ley and joined the strike,-21irminglicon Daily Post.

LATV INTELLIGENCE--(This Day.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
APPEAL.-•MONEYFENNY V. MONEYPENNY.

This is an appeal from a decree of the Lord Chancellor.
The question involved in this appeal is whether the above-
named respondent, Susannah Moneypenny, is entitled to be
admitted a creditor on the personal estate of the Rev. Philip
Moneypenny, late of Maytham Hall, in the parish of Kel•
venden, in the county of Kent, devised in respect of an
annuity of 300 under her marriage settlement. The Lord
Chancellor varied the Vice-Chancellor Wood's order to the
effect of admitting the respondent Susannah Moneypenny, a
specialty creditor on the personal estate of the said Philip
Moneypeny for the said annuity of X3OO.
The appellant appealed.
Mr. Daniel, Q.C., was heard for the respondent.
At the conclusion of the arguments, the Lord Chancellor
reserved judgment.

EVANS V. M(LOUGHLA'N.

At the conclusion of arguments of counsel this afternoon
the Lord Chancellor reversed the interlocutors of the second
division, and remitted the case back to the Court of Session,
in Scotland.

POLICE INLELLMENCE—(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

ROBBERY BY AN OFFICER'S SERVANT.—George Gil-
lard, a private of the 11th Hussars, but acting as servant to
Mr. Fremantle, an officer of the 11th Hussars, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a watch from the pan-
try of his master's residence, 15, Tilney-street, Park-lane,
92' the watch being the property of Robert Batson, a fellow-
servant.

From the evidence of Batson it appeared he missed his
watch from the place in the pantry where he had left it, and
reported it about the house among the servants, and the
prisoner expressed his sorrow at his loss. A constable was
afterwards called in by Captain Fremantle, and he gave
him a description of the watch. Prisoner begged not to
be prosecuted, saying that, although he took it, he did not
do so with the intention of stealing it. He subsequently
went with the prisoner to prisoner's brother, and the pri-
soner there gave him up the watch.

Ensign Fremantle, of the 11th Hussars, said the pri-
soner bad been his servant about nine months, travelling
with him from place to place. Returning from the theatre
the previous night, and hearing that the prisoner, who was
his groom, was still in the house, and that he had been
charged with stealing Batson's watch, he asked how that
was, and was told by Batson that as he had got his watch
back he did not wish to prosecute. He, therefore, gave the
prisoner into custody. Captain Fremantle was his (Mr.
Fremantle' s) brother.

added money only was given.
Betting-5 to 4on Maid of the Mill.

Very little English wheat was received fresh up to-day,
coastwise or by land carriage. The few good and fine
samples on offer changed hands steadily, at Monday's quo-
tations, but low and (lamp parcels ruled heavy, at almost
nominal currencies.

Boughton made all the running, and won in a trot by 100
yards. Maid of the Mill made a mistake at the flight of
hurdles behind the farm and unhorsed her rider, and was in
consequence put out of the race.

plough the second time, when Glautius fell heavily, giving
her rider a shaking; Cloughbally then took third place,
and, in company with Mr. Barling's• horse, went on in pur-
suit of the Red Rover, who won in a canter by 100 yards;

A blank day; most of the subscribers being at.. Reading.

There was a large show of foreign wheat, for which we
had a fair retail inquiry, at futl prices. Floating cargoes
were dull, but not cheaper.

favourite. The following is a return of to-day's sport:—

On the whole, the barley trade was steady. In the cur-
rencies, however, no change took place.
The show of English wheat was trifling.
No change took place in the value of Malt, but the-trade
was in a most inactive state.

We have to report a steady, but by no means active, in-
quiry for oats, at full quotations.
Beans and peas were dull, but Rot cheaper.
Although the supply of foreign flour continues large,
the trade was firm, at late rates.
