BOROUGH HOP.

Our market is fairly supplied with new hops, which move
off slowly at fram £7 7s to £l3 13s per cwt. Yearling and
old qualities are a dull inquiry. Duty about £120,000.

WHITECHAPEL.
The trade is in a sluggish state, as follows :--

Beef from 2s 10d to 4s Od ; mutton, 3s Od to 4s Od ; lamb,
Os Od to Os Od ; veal, 4d to 4s 4d ; and pork, 3s 10d to
4s 10d per Sibs. by the carcase.

DUNDEE.—GOOD NEWS FROM THE WHALERS.—
A telegram was received in Dundee on Saturday evening
from Peterhead, where the Polar Star had arrived "full,"
from the whale fishing. The following is the report of the
Dundee vessels :—Camperdown, 14 fish; Tay, 14 (75 tuns);
Polynia, 13; Alexander, 4; Dundee, 13; Narwhal, 24;
Jumna, 18; and Wildfire, 15. A telegram received by
another serron is somewhat different. It gives the following
report : —Tay, bumper ship ; Narwhal, 14 ; Jumna, 24;
and the )ther vessels as in the first telegram. If the vessels
and cargoes all arrive safe, this will be, we believe, the most
successful whale fishing season the Dundee ships have elver
had,

MEETING OF F_RENCLI _IMBASS,sDOE' •

A letter from Paris says :—There will be quite a
rendezvous of French Ambassadors in Paris this
week, previous to their going to their posts—M. do
Lavalette coming from England, M. de Moustier
from Vienna, M. de Grammout returning from
Rome, and probably M. Benedetti, who has gone to
Trouville to fetch Madame Benedetti. It looks
almost like a conclave, especially if one remembers
that the Emperor himself is expected back from
Biarritz during the week.

This meeting of the French representatives at
Rome, Vienna, Turin, and Constantinople may be,
of course, quite fortuitous ; but under the present
circumstances this fortunate chance, which coin-
cides at the same time with the return of the Em-
peror, may be used to bring about a certain har-
mony of action among them all. Complicated as
the situation is in every one of the four countries to
which the ambassadors have to go, and connected
as the political questions agitated in them are, unity
of action is more necessary than ever.
As in many other things, there is a great differ-
ence between the political action of England abroad
and the system of French diplomacy. England
goes on the principle so often enunciated by Lord
Palmerston, of judging each question which arises
on its proper merits, while following certain tra-
ditional principles of action with respect to each
Government—such for instance, as the maintenance
of the Ottoman Empire, or the necessity of Austria
as a great Power for the political equilibrium of
Europe. As each political question arises in succes-
sion the first consideration always is to see if and
how these traditional principles are affected by
it. In order to arrive at the just appreciation of
each question great liberty must be left, and is left
to the representatives, and not only to those in the
higher spheres, but likewise to those lower down
in the diplomatic and consular hierarchy.
In France, on the contrary, a general system of
policy is followed abroad as at home, and every
question which arises is studied and used to further
this general policy. As the single representatives
have not all the threads of this policy in their hands,
liberty of action might be dangerous. Hence they
are tied down by formal instructions, and whenever
the slightest doubt arises they refer to their Govern-
ment, avoiding, as much as possible, all responsi-
bility of free action. This makes the position of
French diplomatists rather awkward now and then,
for they can often not even guess what part they
are playing in this general policy; but it has cer-
tainly the advantage of bringing about a unity of
action almost unparalleled, even by Russia.
This system, which has always more or less ex-
isted, has been brought to greater perfection by the
present Emperor ; nor could it be otherwise.
Foreign policy is an engine for home and dynastic
policy, he alone has the key of it, and he must have
pliant instruments to work it out. To do so he has
an advantage to which is due in great measure the
undeniable superiority which he has shown on so
many occasions. In ether countries crowned heads
and statemen have had small or no opportu-
nity of judging of the movement of the popular
spirit which agitates more or less all Europe. Either
overlooking it altogether or looking down upon it
with prejudice and ill-will, they make light of it in
the beginning and lose their heads in the end. The
Emperor Napoleon, on the contrary, has lived in the
midst of this rising popular spirit for 20 years, fol-
lowing it step by step in all its branches and rami-
fications, and knowing it in all its strength and
weakness, not in France alone, but all over Europe.
He indulged in no illusions about " temporary aber-
rations," but recognised an inevitable reality, and
took account of it in his policy as one of the most
powerful agents. Having once done so, he could
not but see that this new element was sure sooner
or later to modify and upset a great many diploma-
tic and powerful " axioms," that there were a great
number of political prejudices which would be
swept away, and that the two broad principles of
nationality and popular sovereignty were tending
to change the political surface of Europe.
To follow movements of the popular spirit abroad,
to judge of their importance and bring them in as
one of the factors in diplomacy, requires rather dif-
ferent qualities from those that were wanted when
diplomacy consisted in hunting out Court intrigues.
It might require a little of the statesman, which can
scarcely be always expected in diplomatists, how-
ever clever they might be otherwise. Hence the
new system requires a new school, as it were, and
diplomatists must be better kept in hand than
before, Whether the ambassadors are to have a
lesson in the new school I cannot tell, but it looks
almost like it.

SIR W. ARNSTRoNG AND CAPTAIN
BLAKELY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—During the debate on the Patent Laws at
the meeting of the British Association last week,
Sir W. Armstrong related how he and Mr. Brunel
were in 1855 constructing a cannon, when they dis-
covered that the method they had hit upon had been
patented a few weeks before, whereupon they put
aside their half-made gun. I, sir, was the patentee,
and I have accordingly been held up to the readers
of the provincial papers as a complete dog in the
manger. In one paragraph I find myself figuring
as one who, " through mere caprice or obstinacy,
withholds from practical application a discovery,
neither using it himself nor allowing it to be used
by others."

In another I see that on me is thrown the " re-
sponsibility of depriving the country of an inven-
tion which might have been to its advantage."
As these papers totally ignore the reply I made
at the meeting, I trust you will allow me to set
myself right with my friends and the public
through the columns of the Times .
The facts are exactly the reverse of those sup-
posed by the writers I have quoted. I both made
many guns myself and allowed others to make
them. To Sir W. Armstrong I gave especial per-
mission to make experimental guns free of all
licence, and offered a licence on all guns for Eng-
land at a merely nominal rent. I even asked him
to build one gun at my expense, and he actually
did bore one for Mr. J. Longridge, who discovered
the plan just after me, but before Sir William and
Mr. Brunel. I have always been quite ready to
admit that the second and third, and indeed all in-
dependent discoverers have equal merit with the
first, if there be any merit in discovery. I confess
I see none, but I do think Mr. Longridge and my-
self deserve thanks for giving up much time and
ilsabfoaurrmotore ddeivffieelooplti7fgarthmeorde trying—.persuading
and—what
_persuading
others of its value. We have left no stone unturned
to induce Government to try our plan fairly. I have
even offered three times within the last 18 months
to construct and place at the disposal of Govern-
ment, entirely at my own expense, a 600-pounder
gun. Sir Wm. Armstrong confesses that he finds
difficulty in constructing even a 300-pounder, and
ships
huge shot must be
. If he will neither
tthhraotwangatinosctruirsohn-ipnlattheedir
himself build a gun capable of projecting such
shot, nor let us do so, I cannot see that he is jus-
tified in throwing on us " the responsibility of de-
priving the country of an invention which might
have been to its advantage." I am no advocate of
the present patent laws—l believe in most cases
they are injurious to inventors, and in few indeed
necessary to foster discoveries—but the present
case they do not affect, for both Mr.Longridge asd
I are and always have been ready to sacrifice
any and all our rights which clash with the
public interest.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,
T. A. BLAKELY.

THE FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT
ROTHERHITRE.

This dreadful calamity has been up to the present time
attended with the loss of ten lives. The premises occupy
a large area on that portion of the waterside which is
known as Cuckold's Point, opposite to the Limehouse
entrance of the West India Docks, and about half a mile
from the Commercial Dock pier. The boiler and engine-
house stood on the river side of the mills, parallel with the
wharf, and contained two long boilers of 50-horse power
each, laid in massive brickwork.

Only one boiler had been at work during the day, and it
appears that about the same time the night men came on, 6
o'clock, a defect was noticed in a joint of the feed-pipe to
the engine. The engine-driver, Thomas Wild, at once sent
for Thomas Spinks, an engine-fitter living in the neighbour:
hood, who was usually employed by the firm to make good
the defects, at the same time turning the steam off the boiler.
It would seem, however, that the driver, acting under the
impression, probably, that the joint would speedily be re-
paired, had omitted to "draw" the furnace, as a quantity
of fire is stated to have been in it. The fitter arrived, and,
with the driver, proceeded down to the engine-room and
commenced their work; but finding that they required
assistance, they communicated with one of the officials,
and the whole of the labourers who had just come on were
sent to their aid. Six of the men were desired to sup-
port the pipe which ran across the roof, while Spinks and
Wild went on with repairing the joint. There was also in
the engine-room Mr. Alfred Duvrensart, nephew of the
members of the firm, and Alec Burk, the foreman, who
were looking on. There had been three or four other
labourers in the chamber, but their services not being im-
mediately required, they had only left a few minutes before
the explosion took place.

CRYSTAL PALACE.— One Shilling Day, Tuesday,
Sept. 17.—Admissions on payment, 24,763; ditto by season
tickets, 2,963; total visitors, 27,726,

The engine .room was a small brick chamber, about Bft.
by 12, at the basement of the mills. A glance at the boiler
too clearly showed that some portion of it exploded, and had
sprung forward from its bed of brickwork four or five feet,
and that the inner part of the boiler with the massive iron
bars of the furnace and other plates had been blown out
direct at the poor fellows who were at work only some four
or five feet in front. Of the 10 unhappy creatures who
were in this chamber not one escaped.
The names of the persons killed are Mr. Alfred Duvren-
sart, aged 18, nephew to Messrs. Badart ; Samuel Wild,
34, engine-driver; Tbomas Spinks, 24, engine fitter; Jas.
Keeley, 45, labourer; and Patrick Cauty, 16, labourer;
the foreman, Alec Bark ; Charles Macarthy, 15, labourer;
James Gailly, 17, labourer; John Burk, 26; and
Davis, 17.

The boiler is what is termed a Cornish boiler, and has
not been in use any length of time. It is said the pressure
at which it had been worked during the day was from 401 b
to 501 b the square inch. considerably below that at which
it had been worked, while it had been tested to a pressure
equal to 1001 b.

The coroner's inquiry commenced this morning before
Mr. Carttar, but it is expected that the investigation will
be adjourned to admit of an examination of the remains of
the boiler by competent parties.
The persons, perhaps, who could have given some ex-
planation, viz., the engineer and his assistant, are unfortu-
nately amongst those who have perished by the explosion.

ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—M. Leverrier read a
paper on the nomenclature of the small planets.
Astronomers have hitherto :been in the habit of giving
each of the telescopic planets a name, such as Flora,
Vesta, Doris, &c. M. Leverrier asks whether it would not
be better to mark them with the number denoting, the order
of their discovery, and add to this the name of the disco-
verer, thus, for instance—(B) Hind, (40) Goldschmidi, (63)
Gasparis, &c. This system of nomenclature had been ob-
jected to by Mr. Hind, on the ground that astronomers
would be confused by the juxtaposition of numbers and
names ; M. Leverrier, on the other hand, in defence of his
plan, asks whether astronomers believe that the number of
small planets is limited, or the contrary ? If limited the
present system may be persisted in; but if unlimited, it
must in the end be abandoned, and in that case the sooner
the better. M. Biot communicated two letters from M.
Valz, honorary director of the Observatory at Marseilles, in
which he repeats his assertions that the earth passed through
the comet's tail on the 30th of Juno last, and in support of
this opinion computes the position of the tail, the situation
of the earth, &c. It is a curious fact that on such a mathe-
matical question as the inclination of a comet's tail, and the
position of that body and the earth at a given moment,
there should be two, and even three, opinions ; for our
readers must recollect that Messrs. Hind, Liais, and Valz
all admit that the comet's tail swept the earth, but neither
agree as to the hour or the day ; while M. Leverrier has
cast great doubts upon the occurrence.

REPRESENTATION OF PLYMOITTIL—We have rea-
son to believe that the announcement that Mr. Earle was
about to offer himself as a candidate for Plymouth was in-
correct. Mr. Earle was invited to come forward, but de-
clined the honour of representing his party on the present
occasion.

On the Ist of July, the French Minister at Pekin
gave a grand dinner in honour of the Ambassador anfl
Envoy Extraordinary of Prussia, Count Eulenberg. All
the diplomatic representatives were present on the
occasion.
