STABBING BY AN ITALIAN BOY.—Yesterday, an Italian
boy, who had a box containing a racoon slung at his back,
was charged wi,h stabbing a lad named Edward Wood, resid-
ing at Hackney.
The prisoner's name could not be ascertained, for he would
not speak, and made signs that he did not understand what was
said, although it was stated that he had previously spoken Eng-
lish plainly enough.
_ _

The yotlng complainant, who had his arm in a sling, stated
that about half-past three yesterday afternoon he saw the pri-
soner sitting in Navarino-place, Clapton, with his box contain-
ing the racoon, and he expressed a wish to look at the animal,
but the prisoner, he said, flew into a violent passion and
ran at him with an open knife, which he drew from his
pocket. The complainant said he tried to get the knife out of
the prisoner's hand, and he then made a stab at his stomach.
He, however, put out his arm to ward off the blow, and re-
ceived a cut upon his hand.
The waiter at the Red Cow, Ralston, and two other wit-
nesses, stated that they saw the prisoner make a back-handed
stab at the complainant, and the knife, a rough kind of
Spanish knife, with a blade about five inches long, was pro-
duced by the police. _ _ _

Mr. littouctyroN remanded him for the present, and de-
sired the police to communicate with his master, who, it was
stated, lives on Saffron-hill,

HOP Iti'rELLIGENCE.
"(From the Maidstone Journal.)
MAIDSTONE.—Our hops, generally, look very promising, but
they are still in danger, there being so much fly. In some in-
stances they must go black, whilst in other grounds they seem
to set the vermin at defiance. The famous College ground
still maintains its high character—it is well named the " crack
ground." The duty is still 180,000/.
From Worcester we learn that there is less fly since the
s'orm on Thursday last. The Hereford plantations are said to
be foul.
arnAar.—The hops in this parish remain clean and healthy,
and promise well for a good crop.
111EttEwounr.—The bine is looking extremely well, and
growing fast. There is no vermin at present, and should the
weather continue kindly for a few weeks longer, there must be
a large crop.
BRENCHLEY.—The late high winds have had the effect of
clearing the plantations of vermin, which have almost wholly
disappeared, and the bines are in a high flourishing state, with
no indications of mould.
WROTHAM, PLAXTOL, IGIITHA3I.—The hops remain free
from vermin ; and although the plant suffered much from the
enc-ingenial winds and weather experienced the first part of the
week, the la -t few fine warm days have made all right, and,
generally speaking, it is impossible for them to look better. An
exception must, however, be made with respect to the young
plants, which have very materially declined.
EDENBRIDGE.—Our hops are growing we have a
nicely ;
little fly, but they are so near the tops of the poles that they can
scarcely be found. On the whole they seldom look better at
this time of the year.
CANTERLURY.—The weather of the past week has been
somewhat rough for the hops, the result of which has been the
blowing down of a few poles, and bruising the bine. In other
respects, the hops have been relieved of a little oftheir vermin,
and for the most part, appear very luxuriant.
WEST KENT AND SURREY.—( From our Sevenoaks Cor-
respondent. )—Nothing can exceed the beautiful appearance of
the plantations ir. this parish, the bine healthy, clean, and every
appearance of a good crop.
CutvENlNG.—The hops are remarkably strong, branching
in all directions, and clean, without a fly.
SUNPRIDGE.—North side looking well, the line is not in
some places so gay on the south side as we could wish, but no
indication of vermin.
BaAsTED.—The same observation applies here, with the ex-
ception of Toys Hill, where there are time first-rate pieces.
The observations above are equally applicable to Wester-
ham, Limpslield (some particularly good), Oxted, Godstone,
and in fact the parishes in Surrey generally, from Reigate
on the west, bounded by the great chalk range on the
north, to Horley arid Eurstow on the south, the line never
presented, in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, so luxu-
riant or so healthy an appearance as at the present time. We
visited the plantations at Seal, Otford, Shoreham, the Crays,
and thence towards Dartford, and also upon the stiff chalky
soils above Farningham and Eynsford, and still find the same
result. That there is fly there can be no doubt, but it is a
difficult matter to state where. The greatest probability is,
it is near extensive woods, where we have found them ; but
so small in quantity, and so few and far between, that they are
not worth naming. Taking the plantations generally, we
mean the parishes in the Sevenoaks and Dartford districts
and Surrey grounds, we never saw them look better, or
greater indications of a crop, As to the duly, if present ap-
pearances are to be a criterion, it will top 200,0001., so far as
we are concerned, and our plantation is not small.

JEWS' SYNAGOGUE.—INSTALLATION OF THE CHIEF
RADBL—Yesterday was the day fixed for the installation of
Rev. Dr. Nathan Marcus Adler, Chief Rabbi of the tnilitied
gregation o' Jews of Great Britain. The Synagogue m Duke's_
place, was, from haltpast four, completely besieged with the ar-
rival of persons of the Jewish persuasion wishing to see the
ceremony. The open space in front was completely crowded,
and inscriptions on canvas fixed on several of the neigh-
bouring houses, such as " Welcome, Dr. Adler,.
&c. Dr.
Adler was, till the death of the late English Chief Rabbi,
the Chief Rabbi in Hanover, where his talents and his
amiable character had caused him to be meek
gu
a respected.was
His loss there will be much felt. The synago
crowded to excess, all the elite of ,_
He persuasion
being present, the Rothschi Ids, the
Montefiores, and
many others being present. At half.past five Dr. Adler arrived,
and entered the Synagogue, when the service immediately began.
The greater part of it was sung, or rather chanted. There 8 A
choir of about forty or fifty singers present, whose voices gave great
effect to the chant, and a sermon was afterwards preached by
the Chief Rabbi. Though not understood by us, and therefore not
appreciated, those of his hearers more gifted than ourselves, seemed
fully to appreciate those powers of eloquence with which the Rev.
Gentleman is so fully and generously gifted. After the service
another psalm was chanted by the full choir, and the congregation
then dispersed. A strange sight to us was to see the whole of the
male congregation, as usual, wearing their hats during the service.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE ON THE HUNGERF__ b
"R SUS-
, PENSION.BRIDGE.—At Lambeth Police-court yesterday, Ann Adley,
a middle aged female, was charged with attempting to throw her-
self off the suspension-bridge. On the preceding evening the pri-
loner's appearance attracted the attention of one of the officers on
the bridge, and having watched her for some time, he removed her
when about to throw herself over the bridge. He took her on
shore on the Surrey side, when she promised to go home; but,
having made a second attempt to throw herself off a barge, she was
taken to the station.house. Drunkenness, it appeared,
was the
cause of the prisoner's conduct ; and Mr. Norton, after reading her
a severe lecture on the impropriety and wickedness of her conduct,
discharged her.
PORCINE VORACITY.—On Saturday last one of the
cattle waggons on the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester
It ilway, was loaded at Ardwick station with a small
number of
sheep and lambs, two cows, and six pigs, of the Irish breed. On
the train arriving at the Glossop station, it was found that the pigs
had nearly devoured one of the sheep, and were fighting for that
portion of the carcase which remained. Tl.ey had also succeeded
in killing a lam:. jth.t as the rain stopped. It is needless to say that
the hapless cattle dealer, who was riding in an adjoining carriage,
soon caused a separation on alighting from the train.---31anchester
