HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDsTosE.—The hop-picking is now commenced
at most places; where they began last week, they
almost all come far short of what they were called.
The hops are now coming into good order for pick-
ing, and we shall have some very good hops, but few
that will be fine in colour.

TICEHURST.—The crop in this neighbourhood is
very partial. Some grounds being likely to produce
from eight to twelve cwt., and others not more than
two cwt. per acre. Where the picking has corn
menced, the hops come off short of what was antici-
pated, and the opinion in the best informed quarters is
against the duty. Maidstone Gazette.
Merrim.D.—flop picking in this parish has become
general—they come short in most instances ; indeed, I
have not heard one case where they do not fail ; they
will come short one- third, and the samples must be
indifferent, the hop itself being full of vermin. There
has been some pockets sent off during the week. I
have not heard of any sales being effected.
ItvE..—The hop-picking has now become general,
and the growth is anticipated to produce quite an ave-
rage crop. From the great number of persons em-
ployed the oasts are constantly overpicked, so that in
many of the gardens the pickers are not allowed to
work more than three-quarters of a day.
STATLEHURST.—The picking, which had begun
here, has been stopped, owing to their being of worse
quality then expected. The crop will not even come
up to the low estimate made last week.
TUNBRIDGE.—We cannot give any accurate notion
of what may be the picking here, the gardens being
so "platty."—Sumex Advertiser.

OLD COURT.

Solomon Parker, 19, and Joshua Jacobs, 25, were
indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of
Abraham Belasco, with the intent to steal the goods
and moneys of the prosecutor.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty; and Parker
was sentenced to nine, and Jacobs to twelve months'
imprisonment.
Alfred Dellinger was convicted of stealing two
tablespoons, the property of James Morris Frost, and
he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and
hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

Edwin and William Hartlidge, brothers, were
brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of In-
spector Waller, charged with robbery in the house of
Mr. Sarl, jeweller, of the Poultry, and Cornhill.
Mr. Humphrey appeared for the prosecutor, and
Mr. Hobler attended for the prisoners.

William Brown, shopman to Mr. Attenborough, a
pawnbroker, stated that he knew Edwin Hartlidge,
who called at the shop on the sth of August, and
pledged a gold watch for 2/. 10s. A few days afterwards
the same prisoner called and offered another gold
watch, asking the loan of the same sum upon it. Wit-
ness handed over the watch to a fellow-servant, and
said he would accompany the prisoner to the address
which was given with it; and which was different from
that given with the former article. They accordingly
went together to the neighbourhood of Dorset-street,
Clapham-road, where, at No. 15, Edwin Hartlidge
said he resided. When they approached the house
the prisoner told the witness he did not wish to let his
parents know anything about the watch, and he must
therefore decline calling at home, but he requested
witness to go with him to his brother, who resided at
a little distance. As they went along, Edwin Hart-
lidge met a man who seemed to be waiting for him
and after exchanging a few words, the man ran off,
and the prisoner asked the witness to go elsewhere
with him. The witness refused, and ultimately re-
turned with him to Mr. Attenborough's shop. On
the way Edwin Hartlidge told witness that he had
purchased the watches for 71. a piece, and that one of
them was his brother's, and the other his own, but he
could not tell where he had bought them.
William Sarl,' jun., stated that Edwin Hartlidge
had been in the service of the house about four years,
and had left about nine months ago; and William
had also been in their service two or three years, and
up to the time of the robbery. It was the duty of
William Hartlidge te attend to the shop in the Poul-
try, and his, general instructions were to prevent any
one from going upon the premises who did not be-
long to the concern. The watches were kept in a
glass case on the counter, the keys of which case wit-
ness locked up in an iron safe. He saw one of them
on the night before the robbery was committed on
the premises in the case. It was one of those pro-
duced which Edwin Hartlidge had taken to the pawn-
broker's shop. The other watch was also the property
of the firm, and had been stolen. Witness was pre-
sent when William Hartlidge was questioned about
his brother Edwin, who, he said, crying, had slept on
the premises on Friday night, and had attempted to
rob them, and that he had snatched from his brother
two watches which the latter had taken from the
case, which was opened by him with a pair of scissors.
The witness not only identified the watches, but two
breast pins and brooches, which Edwin Hartlidge
had sold or made presents of, and which had been
stolen. _ _ _

Mr. Hobler submitted that the suspicion of the par-
ticipation of William Hartlidge was very weak.
The LORD MAYOR, however, after a very scrupu-
lous examination of the evidence, said he considered
there was quite enough to show that William Hart-
lidge aided and assisted his brother.
It appeared that there was no mark of any attempt
to open the watch-case with any instrument.
Inspector Waller, after a great deal of exertion,
ascertained that Edwin Hartlidge had stolen two
other watches, and pawned them at the shop of an-
other pawnbroker. The watches were produced and
identified.

The prisoners were both committed for trial ; and
bills were ordered to be
_laid before the grand jury
against them at once, so that probably a very few
hours will intervene between their committal and
their trial.

Robert Walker, a well-dressed, smart-looking young
fellow, was charged by Mr. Kemp, broker, of Ab-
church-lane, with having robbed him of a purse, con-
taining 141. and some silver.
The prosecutor stated that as he was passing
through St. Paul's Churchyard on the preceding day,
his attention was attracted by the appearance of a
man who was looking sideways at him. He imme-
diately turned round, and saw the prisoner, whose
face he recollected, and who ran off upon finding him-
self observed. Witness, upon putting his hand to his
coat pocket, missed his purse, which contained
fourteen sovereigns, and five or six shillings in silver,
and he at once followed the prisoner, crying, " Stop
thief!" The prisoner was secured by a porter and a
policeman, and the purse, containing the money, was
taken out of his right hand.
The LORD MAYOR asked the prosecutor how he
happened to know what sort of person the prisoner
was at the moment ?—Mr. Kemp said it was rather
singular that a few days previously his wife, while
passing in a carriage, saw him surrounded by a set of
fellows, who were all, no doubt, thieves, and called
out to him that one of them was trying to pick his
pocket. He turned about and SIM the prisoner, and
made a blow at him. One of his companions, however,
was taken and conveyed to Guildhall, from which the
magistrate committed him to Bride well for seven days,
upon the evidence of his (prosecutor's) servant.
The prisoner Said the gentleman was mistaken
about having seen him before.
Gooch, the turnkey at the Giltspur-street Compter,
stated that the prisoner was well known as the corn-
panion of thieves, but had been particularly lucky in
escaping committal.
A
The prisoner was then committed for trial.

were brought up in the custody of the officers of the

givingfifeten guineas a minute
Sergeant Wicher, a detective officer, stated that
about half-past seven o'clock in the morning he met
offered descriptionr
theiro
the prisoners in the Strand, and suspecting that they
answered the description given of the persons who
had made their escape from St. Alban's, he followed
them until he obtained the assistance of Parker and
Thornton to apprehend them. On questioning them,
they immediately admitted having made their escape
on the 13th inst., and it was their intention to have
enlisted, in order to be sent out of the country. The
prisoner Hawthorn also said he had been committed
for a burglary, and his companion for stealing a• watch
and 55., and that the turnkey had employed them in
cleaning windows, and they made their escape with
the ladder he had supplied them with for that purpose-.
The prisoners did not deny they were the persons
described in the placard produced by the officer. •
Mr. JARDINE ordered them to be conveyed to
Watford, where conveyances are easily obtained to
St. Alban's.

The prisoners were then removed to the cells for a
short time, where they exhibited such noisy conduct
that they were threatened to be confined separately in
an underground apartment unless they desisted.
QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday Mrs. S. Silvera, of No. 18, Whitehead's-
grove, Chelsea, appeared to a summons, charging her
of a cab.
with refusing to pay the legal fare for the hire

T. Roberts, the driver of the cab, 1,391, stated that
between eight and nine on tae evening of the Bth in-
stant, he took the lady up in Ebury-street, Pimlico,
and drove her to Whitehead's-grove, where he de-,_
manded sixteenpence' which she refused to pay.
The lady inquired how he made the fare amount to
sixteenpence.

The driver replied that there was eightpence for
the mile of ground from Ebury-street to Whitehead's-
grove, and there
was eightpence back carriage.
The lady said she had offered the driver a shilling,
which he had refaced to take. She was not aware
that there was any back carriage ; there was a cab
rank within two minutes' walk up where the driver
had set her down.

Mr. BURRELL observed that the lady had behaved
very liberally in offering the shilling, as she supposed
the fare was but eightpence. The public were not
aware of the fact, that a mile back carriage, at least
where the party were set down above three miles from
the General Post-office after eight o'clock in the
evening, was legally claimed by the driver without
reference to his being near a cab rank or not. The
body of magistrates at the police-courts had consi-
dered the conveyance of the person and the back car-
riage as two distinct fares, and had acted upon it.
He must adjudge the lady to pay the amount claimed,
with the costs.

The Lady—How much then, Sir, have I to pay ?
The Clerk—Six and fourpence, Madam.
The Lady —Pray, ray, what is that for ? The Clerk—
The amount of the fare claimed with the man's loss
of time, and the summons.
" Well, really," said the lady,
with apparent vex-
ation, " if ever a cabman insults me or overcharges me,
I'll summon him directly. Don't be surprised, Sir,
if you see me making au exhibition of myself here."
Mr. BunaELL—But, Madam, it would be hardly
fair to revenge yourself
The Lady (with much warmth)—I assure you I
shall summon the first person that offends.

Mr. Burrell again attempted to address an observa-
tion to the lady, but on being again interrupted by
her assurance that she would make an example of the
first driver who overcharged her, he relinquished the
idea of reasoning with her, and proceeded to other
business.

The lady then paid the amount and withdrew.
LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday Martin Clerk, a Swede, was placed at
the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of
stabbing Mary Anne Judith, a prostitute.
The complainant stated that the prisoner, on his re-
turn from a former voyage, had stopped with her for
one night, and from that time he had frequently
threatened to stab her. On the night before she was
in the Swedish Flag public-house, in the neighbour-
hood of Ratcliffe-highway, and seeing the prisoner
kick a young woman with great violence, she told him
he must be a great brute for doing so, upon which
he grasped hold of his knife, and, opening it hastily,
made a lunge at her left breast. She threw up her
hand to ward off the blow, and received a wound from
the point of the knife.
The young woman whom the 'prisoner had kicked
was next examined, and deposed that she was merely
standing by where the prisoner was settling with a
cabman, when the prisoner, without the slightest pro-
vocation, gave her a desperate kick. S.) brutal was
the kick that she was for some time unable to speak
or draw her breath, and throughout the night she re-
mained in great torture. This witness fully corrobo-
rated the prosecutrix in her statement.
Other witnesses proved that the conduct of the pri-
soner, particularly when he took the least liquor, was
of the most ruffianly description. For sometime be-
fore he had committed the offence with which he was
charged he marched up and down the long room of
the public-house, drinking the liquors of some and
upsetting the grog of the customers there, and when
remonstrated with he threatened instant destruction
to any person opposing him, declaring that while he
he had his knife about him he cared for no one, as it
was his particular friend. On making these threats
the prisoner grasped his knife, which was slung by his
side from a thick cord round his neck, and brandished
it about, so that all present were struck with terror at
his appearance and manner.
The prisoner, in reply, said that he was so drunk as
to forget all that happened.
Mr. NORTON observed that he seldom heard of
such dastardly and outrageous conduct, and commit-
ted the prisoner on the capital charge.
THAMES POLICE.

A Customs locker, named John Howes, in the em-
ploy of the Crown, who was formerly a police-con•
stable, was convicted by Mr. Broderip, on Monday,
under the Police Act, for having in his possession
a pint of rum, supposed to be stolen, or unlawfully
procured, and the sentence passed on him,
was seven weeks' imprisonment and hard labour, in
addition to the week he had been in custody from
the time of his apprehension. The evidence against
him was in substance this, that he was seen
to enter one of the warehouses in the West India Dock
and drink out of a glass bottle containing rum, which
he left between some hogsheads of sugar, where it
warallowed to remain for three days, that he took
the bottle away and deposited it in his desk in the
box belonging to the Customs lockers, and that he
afterwards returned to the same warehouse, and threw
away a tin case when he saw he was observed, and it
was found to contain a pint of rum. To-day Mr.
Williams, a solicitor, who was employed jointly with
Mr. Pelham for the defence, served a notice of appeal
against the decision of Mr. Broderip, and tendered
the names of two respectable housekeepers as sureties.
Mr. Leadley, the junior clerk, on making known the
solicitor's business, and placing an order before the
Magistrate for his signature to have the prisoner
brought up and to put in bail, said that Howes in-
tended to appeal to the Middlesex sessions.
Mr. BRODERIP, who looked surprised, asked Mr.
Williams if it really was his intention to appeal ?
Mr. Williams replied—Certainly. I am so instructed
by the prisoner and his friends.
Mr. BRODERIP said it was a very bad case, for the
prisoner was an officer employed under the Crown,
and he (the Magistrate) ought to have superadded
hard labour to the imprisonment.
Mr. Williams said the sentence on the commitment
was hard labour.
Mr. BRODERIP—I did not include hard labour in
the sentence ; I never mentioned the words.
Mr. Leadley assured the magistrate that he in-
cluded hard labour in his sentence of imprisonment.
Mr. BRODERIP-It is no such thing; my sentence
was seven weeks' imprisonment, without hard labour.
Mr. Williams said he was present when sentence
was passed, and said nothing was said about hard
labour. He was never more surprised in his life than
when he saw the words " to be kept to hard labour"
on the commitment at the prison, and he understood
his client was set to work on the treadmill. The sen-
tence of the Court was simply imprisonment for seven
weeks in the House of Correction.

Mr. BRODBRIP-Then the commitment is wrong.
Mr. Leadley said he inserted on the minutes the
sentence actually pronounced by the magistrate, and
the form of convicticn was drawn up by himself and
Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, according to the decision.
Mr. BRoDEEIP—My sentence was without hard
labour.

Mr. Williams—lt was, Sir; I heard you pro-
nounce it.

Mr. Leadley was positive the sentence included
hard labour, and after some conversation with Mr.
Broderip in an under tone, retired with him to the
magistrate's private room, and no more was said on
the subject except by Mr. Williams, who positively
asserted the form of conviction was wrong. In the
afternoon the prisoner was brought up before the
magistrate, and having perfected the requisite sureties
was set at liberty.

SAILING MATCH BETWEEN AN
ENGLISH AND FRENCH SHIP OF WAR
FROM VALPARAISO TO THE CHANNEL.

The Paris Globe of Monday contains the follow-
ing :—" A contest such as we should be glad to
behold frequently, because it shows sentiments of
mutual esteem and friendly rivalry, took place lately
between a vessel of the English navy and another
belonging to that of France, and we mention it to
prove how easy it would be to maintain or to cement
the intercourse between the two countries. Before
returning to Europe the English frigate, the Vindic-
tive, Captain Toup Nicholas, and the French brig the
Adonis, Captain Viscount de St. Georges, happened
to be in the harbour of Valparaiso. In the conversa-
tions held between the officers of the two nations,
Captain Toup Nicholas praised to the skies the qua-
lities of his frigate, the best sailer in the British navy,
according to the account of Admiral Napier himself',
who boasted of it in the House of Commons. Vis-
count de St. Georges also -ventured to speak of the
qualities of his brig, and, on an ironical smile appear-
ing on the face of the English officer, he politely
challenged him to see which vessel would first reach
Europe, whither they were bound. The challenge
was accepted, and it remained to decide what was to
be the wager. Forty-six months' station in the
Pacific Ocean had frightfully tarnished the French
officer's epaulettes, and therefore the English officer,
whose own were not in a very brilliant state, pro-
posed a pair of epaulettes. The day of sailing having
arrived, the Vindictive, the Adonis, and two American
frigates, weighed anchor at the same time, and set
sail towards Cape Horn. The national feeling had
doubled the ardour and address of the rival crews,
and they performed their duty with marvellous pre-
cision and rapidity. The English frigate spread all
sail, and the Adonis glided like a seagull over the
waves. At the expiration of a few hours, and while
land was still in view, the French brig had already
gained the distance of several leagues on the Vindic-
tive. The captain of the Adonis thought that it was
only rood taste to take leave a second time of Cap-
tain _Coup Nicholas, before he departed finally for
Europe. He, therefore, sailed back towards the
Vindictive, which 'was majestically advancing, and
after having gone round her, again resumed his
voyage, crying, " Bon voyage" to the English. In a
few hours the brig had completely disappeared.
Captain Nicholas, on his arrival in England allowing
that the Vindictive frigate had been nobly beaten by
the Adonis brig, wrote a very civil letter to Viscount
St. Georges, with a handsome pair of captain's epau-
lettes. The brig Adonis is a veteran of our squadron.
She carries 20 guns, and was built 20 years back.
She was condemned on her return from the South
Sea station, but the report given by her captain of
her brilliant qualities has caused the Minister of
Marine to give orders to have her re-constructed in
the same proportions."
Galignani, of Monday, in giving the above, makes
the following remark :
" This must be rather a bold boast of the gallant
captain, for the Vindictive, if we mistake not, was
beaten in a trial trip in the Channel, before she sailed
for her station in the Pacific. IVe must remark that,
in comlaring the sailing qualities of two vessels of
the abo've sizes, it is material to know the state of the
weather. In a light wind a brig of any sailing merit
might beat a frigate, but in a smart breeze would
soon be hull down.'"

MARSEILLES, Sept. 11.

Last evening the steam-packet Rhamies entered
this port from the Levant ; she brings news of no im-
portance from Constantinople to the 29th. The letters
from Alexandria are of a date anterior to those brought
by the Alecto with the Indian mail.
The steam-packet Royal George also entered this
port last night from the coast of Spain; she brings
dispatches for the Government from the Prince de
Joinville. The Royal George sailed from Cadiz on
the Ist ; at that date four French steamers were lying
in the roads. Two French men-of-war cast anchor
in the roads at the moment of her departure.
The following is an extract from a private letter,
dated Athens, August 29 :
"M. Coletti is in a most critical position, and I
doubt much that he will be able to stand his ground.
The country is in a state truly deplorable—a civil
war at Mama and other provinces, an empty trea-
sury, no commerce, and, I am credibly informed,
great dissensions in the council. Informatioh has
been received that the fourgon with the commercial
correspondence for Trieste, dispatches from the
Austrian and Prussian Governments, and an auto-
graph letter from King Otho, had been pillaged by
a bald of miscreants between Calamaki and Lou-
traki. The banditti got possession also of 14,000
drachms in gold. Our coast is infested with
pirates."
The following has been received from an Italian
Consul :

THE EARL of ROSSE'S LEVIATHAN
TELESCOPE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-With pure delight do I communicate to you
the fact that the leviathan telescope, on which the
Earl of Rosse has been toiling in his demesne at
Parsonstown now upwards of two years, although not
absolutely finished, was on Wednesday last directed
for the first time to the sidereal heavens. I very
much regret not being present on this occasion, but
experiments on which I have for many years been
employed rendered it impossible for me to leave home.
The letter which I have this morning received
from its noble maker, in his usual unassuming style,
merely states, that the metal, only just polished, was
of a pretty good figure, and that with a power of 500,
the nebula known as No. 2 of Messier's catalogue
was even more magnificent than the nebula No. 13 of
Messier, when seen with his Lordship's telescope of
three feet diameter, and 27 feet focus. Cloudy
weather prevented him turning the leviathan on any
other nebulous object.

Thus, then, we have, thank God, all danger of the
metal breaking before it could be polished overcome.
Little more, however, will be done to it or with it for
some weeks, inasmuch as the Noble Earl is on the
eve of quitting Ireland for Enzland, to resign at
York his post as President of the British Association,
and to visit his noble relatives at Kilnwick and at
Brighton. This done, he returns to Ireland; and I
look forward with intense anxiety to witness its first
severe trial, when all its various appointments shall be
completed, in the confidence that those who may then
be present will see with it what man has never seen
before. The diameter of the large metal is six feet,
and its focus 54 feet. Yet the immense mass is
manageable by one man. Compared with it, the
working telescopes of Sir William Herschel, which in
his hands conferred on astronomysuch inestimable
service, and on himself astronomical immortality,
were but playthings. J. SOUTH.

THE TURN OF IFE !—CURE EXTRAORDINARY By
HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—A respectable woman, aged 47,
named Graham, residing in Scotland-road, Liverpool,
was in the most critical and dangerous state for nine
months, being sometimes almost choked with phlegm,
with shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, toge-
ther with a general derangement and debility of the
whole system. Her life was in the greatest danger
when she commenced the use of these miraculous pills,
which restored her to the highest state of health in five
weeks. They are the finest medicine in the world for
females of all ages. Sold (also Holloway's Ointment) A Supplement to the Gazette of Tuesday last was

ADVENTURES OF A TEN POUND

NOTE.

On Tuesday, a rather curious case came before the
sitting magistrate at Worship-street Police-court,
and was in substance as follows :—A man, named
Abriham Gunton, a policeman of the H division, 00
the 2d of May last, received the sum of 551., in la
and 51. notes at the London and Westminster Ban",
and, for security against fire and flood, packed theta
up carefully, and carried them about with him in
one of his pockets. While on duty, at ten o'clock on
Thursday morning last, in a court leading out Of
the Hackney-road, he had occasion to enter $
house belonging to a Mrs. Piowright, and took the
notes from his pocket, laid them down, quitted the
place, forgot all about them, and left them behind
'him. Directly after he had left, Mrs. Plowright dis•
covered the treasure, but not being able to read of
write, and never having possessed a genuine note of her
own, she thought all these must be spurious, or flash
notes ; and, to settle the question, called in an elderly
neighbour, named Joseph Reading, to whom she'conl-
municatedher discovery, and asked his opinion. Read-
ing, who possessed only the same amount of education,
did not know what to advise her, but considered then
" Bank of Elegance" notes also, and advised her to
keep all the notes but one of them, purporting to be
for 10/., which he expressed his determination to show
to a mere enlightened friend of his, one William Short,
a porter employEd in the docks. This was agreed to,
and Reading hied straight to the docks, where he got
into consultation with Short, who, though in a similar
state of blissful ignorance, corroborated the opinion
of the others, and emphatically declared the
note to be " flash." Reading upon this
walked away, and left behind him the
note, which was carelessly left on the top of a barrel,
and as Short had to make certain significant bier'
glyphics for every cask or pipe that was rolled into
the cellars, he thought the note could not be
applied to a more useful purpose, and actually
made all his enterings upoif the note till the back
it was completely filled with chalk-marks. I'
was now thought to be of no further use, and was
removed from barrel to barrel, until at last it be•
came so annoying to be obliged to move the
paper about, that it was pushed on to the ground'
where it remained for an hour or two, trodden upon
by every workman who entered the vaults, until at
length it became so tattered and disfigured with
mud and dirt that it got out of sight, and was lost
altogether. What makes the thing more astonish•
ing is, that a number of mechanics and Irish labourers
were in and out of the place the whole time, so°
yet none of them noticed the quality of the note'
During this peregrination of the note Gunton, the
owner, discovered his loss, and made application t°,
Mrs. Plowright for his property, 45/. of which was at
once restored, and a promise of restoration of the I°'
note made for the following Monday; but when 3101':
day came the note could not be found, and Gunton
gave Mrs. Plowright and the two men, Reading
Short, into custody. It was proved that 201''
Plowright was a respectable though uninformed Per,
son, and that she had resided 40 years in one holl:58;
and there being no grounds whatever for imPtitll3
dishonesty to any of the prisoners, or anything morn
than an unfortunate ignorance. Ars. Plowright and
Reading were at once discharged, and Short circle.
to enter into his own recognizances in case anyth,iesi
further should in future transpire regarding the 1°
property.
