THE ANTIGUA BAR.

The case of Mr. Scotland, jun.; of Antigua, with
the arbitrary manner in which he was'.' disbarred,"
or deprived of .his privilege of. acting,,as a barrister
in that island, filled a.large space in our columns
about 18 .months ago, an4,wilL be perfectly in the
recollection of our legal readers. We have now to
mention- the receipt of intelligence from 'Antigua, an-
notiricing the full restoration Of his rights, by an
order from the Colonial Government at home. This
act of justice, it appears, emanated directly from Sir
George Murray, the present*Colonial Secretary, hut
the way had been paved.. for it, and the case deter-
mined on, (Wing the administration of Mr. Ifuskis-
son: Mr. Scotland, who knew that while `Lord
Bathurst held that dice be had little chance of re-
dress for an act of injustice by ia voluntary fiiterfer-,
enee on his part, was preparod to institute legal pro-
ceedings for that purpose, when he was advised that
they would probably be rendered, unnecessary
by an order from the .Colonial-office, as the
case had engaged very early the attention of
Mr. Huskisson' who felt convinced that the con-
duct of the Judges of Antigua had been precipi-
tate and arbitrary. After some further delay,
caused by the unsettled state of the Ministry, Mr.
Scotland received an intimation that the necessary
documents were prepared, and he immediately ern-
barlced,;himself the bearer of them, in the packet for
Antigua, where he, arrived on the 24th of August.
He:met with a favourable reception from all classes,
and a communication of the order from the Colonial
Office having been made by the Governor to the
Judges at Antigua,. they (to use their own words)
'immediately and unqualifiedly retracted their order
of removal, and restored Mr. Scotland to the bar;
with the same rank and standing he formerly held.
It appears
.that he immediately_ regained the greater
part of his connexions 'inibe island, many of his
clients, through the strongsepse they entertained of
the injustice with which he had been treated, having
suspended all law business that could,be deferred,
fromduring
his absence. A letter of the 30th of August,
Antigua, states that the Governor,' on the pre-
ceding day, had, officially communicated to Mr.
Scotland the compliance of the Judges with the
GOvernMent order. Some. proceedings on hiS part,

CATTLE MARKET.-Our great horse market took place
to-day, and from that cause we could not expect a good or
a numerous show of cattle—their number was 210, and
they may be classed as follows :-46 three-years-olds ; 64
two-years-olds ; 60 Stirks, and 40 Highlanders. Every
thing with respect to dealing was the same as last week.
By an early hour all was sold off; two-years-olds rated
from 41. 108. to 8 guineas; and Stirks from 2/. to 51.
Although very little business was• transacted on the Sands
to-day, we are aware that a number of sales were made
privately in different quarters throughout the country.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

(From a Correspondent of the Times.)

Since my account ineerted• in your paper of the 30th
ult., I have had greater opportunity of knowing the result
of the picking, of most, parishes in Kent , and Sussex.
Most planters have finished, yet there are some large
grower's whose, growths are.very heavy, and will not finish
before next Saturday week.
It is a well ascertained fact that the growths through
these counties will exceed on the.average a fourth noire
than these planters put them at when they first began to
pick. Considering the increase of Worcester, Varnhani,
and all England, there is no doubt but the duty will pay
200,000/. It is singular, that at so late a season they.
'have kept' their colour so well; what are now picking
conic off the kiln beautiful and full of Cundition. This
year's crop is equal in duty to 1822 ; then (and equally so
now) we had a large stock of old hops en hand, and the
prices for new were, Suss x, 455. to 541. ; Kents, 10s.
to 12s. bight r ; and East Kents, perhaps 20s. Now we
have the market more than 20s. higher than in that year,
(and the same applies to the years 1820 and 1821.)
There are several causes for this the picking is a month
later than usual ; there was then four or five times as many
hops put on sale and sold than now. Now the planters
and others are holding theM back, under an idea that if
the fairs of Weyhill, 'Chester; &c. go off well, they shall
get better prices next week. Not 15,0001. duty have
been sold in all the kingdom.'
The. Borough is full of new stock, Maidstone equally
so on their way tq the Borough, and the roads crowded
with waggons, so that in a few days there will be an inn-
'Metier supply to feed the anxious speculator with. It is
notorious Watthe speculators of 1826 and 1827, who got
in at much the same prices; are-all now great losers, and
many ruined. The plantation is so large, and crops by
improved cultivation more certain, that the speculator has
little chance, even at the prices of 1820, 1021, and 1822.
—October 7.

CANTERBURY, OCT. '7.,---Several pockets' of hops of
good quality, sold in our market on Saturday last at 61.
per cwt. The picking in this neighbourhood is: nearly
completed._ The crop falls short of the anticipated quan-
tity;d.gobenuetr, well speaking, the produce is excellent,-
ill induce a further rise in the market.
