HOP INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHWARK, JUNE 9.--There are Senrcely any
Hops on sale, the few which aye on hand are kept
back in consequence of the accounts from the
Plantations; staling an increase of Fly within the
last two or three days. Such people as are in-
clined to sell Alain much higher prices than they
did for their Poe'sets. Bags are very little aAcd
for,

NIAIDSToNE, JUNK 9.—ln Worcestershire the
fly has attacked the Bops in formidable toimberil.,
to much so, as to threaten a severe blight in is
short time, and in our own neighbourhood there
is considerable reason. to fear the saute unlarour-
able appearances.*
CANTETIBUBY, June: s.—Contrary to the at,4
counts from the Western parts of the County, the.
line in this district, and especially in the vicinity
of, this City, is strong in growth, and i.: ge-
neral healthy, though somewhat checked by
the late cold winds. The event of ground
newly planted this year, in consequence or the
late bight prices, will, it is feared, it a crop should
ensue, materially affect the profit of the planter.

PUGILISM.

S(ROGGINS ANI) TURNER.

This event, which has excited more than ortik
nary interest, from the d;sappoiutment which oc.
ctirred at Hayes, it few weeks since, was decided
yesterday, and the que.:tion as to Lest was f,iirly
determined. So notch secrecy Was observed oimit
the occasion, that the place fixed upon for com-
bat vas known only partially ; end to cause a di-
version, Blackwater, Copthorne, and co !ler places
in opposite directions were named. ilLitching
(been, on the Newmarket road, about four Miles
from Harlow, Essex, was the real place appoint-
ed, but here they were interrupted ; and Ilia
Gibbons, with ropes and stakes, and through some
narrow windings of ninny miles, Made a 24
feet ring. It was understood that another Ma-
gistrate on the spot (the new scene of action hav:,.
ing been removed into flertiorshire) was sent for,
and the pugilists being on the ground, they were
set to in, a hurry, without giving an opportnuity
to hundreds who were at Matcl,ing Green to ar-
rive there. Turner, who to avoid a warraot to
keep the peace, had trained in Wales, first thrter
his bat into the ring ; and he was quickly followed
by Scroggins„who gave the same feat less indica-
tion. OU meeting each. other, they shook banes
with much apparent fritudship, and retired to the
corners of the ring, to strip.--430ting was upon
the average 50 to 20 nolo 4erpggini. :Seconds,
