TATTERSALL'S.

Owing to the Epsom Races the attendance yesterday
was thin, and the betting dull. Some offers were made
on the horses mentioned in our report on Monday's betting,
but they were either too indefinite, or too near the prices of
that day, to require any quotation of odds. We must,
therefore, refer to our last report for the present prices.
The Derby and Oaks betting is expected to be very mate-
rially affected by the running at Newmarket next week, as
several of the favourites are engaged in the Two-yr-old
Stakes to be decided there.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Plymouth Journal of yesterday.)
PLYMOUTH, OCT. 9.—The Ariadne, 28, is in
state of forwardness, and reported to be intended
for re-commissioning- very shortly.
Is Hamoaze—Britannia, Windsor Castle, Dis-
patch, Jaseur, Trinculo, Leveret, Dove, Sphynx,
and Speedy.
At the Island—Bramble and Nightingale.
Sound—Royalist.
Commissioner Ross, from Malta Dock-yard, will
succeed the late Sir George Grey, at Portsmouth.
The Nimrod, 20, built of African oak, and about
550 tons burthen, has been commissioned at Dept-
ford by Commander S. Radford.
Captain Walpole has commissioned the Ranger,
28, fitting out for the West Indies.
Lieutenant E. Collier, late of the Windsor Castle,
is appointed to the Ranger.
Second Lieut. Shepheard (son of Major Shep-
heard, Barrack Master of this Division) and I'9 men
of the Royal Marines, with a proportion of non-
commissioned officers, embarked on board the Wind-
sor Castle on Saturday.
Lieuts. T. Archer, J. Garrett, E. J. Hopkins, and
Jos. Marshall, Purser, are appointed to the Shan-
non; Mr. W. A. Bates, to be Surgeon of the Spar-
tiate ; Assistant-Surgeon Miller to the Ramilies ;
Assistant-Surgeon G. A. M. Munro to the Corde-
lia ; Assistant-Surgeon Thompson to the Asia.
Mr. W. James, of the Hobart, condemned at
Portsmouth, is appointed to the Spey, at this port,
coming forward for the packet service; it i. 4 sup-
posed the Variable will supply the place of the
Dove.

All was well on board the Britomart, off Lisbon,
on the 28th

It appears now, from good authority, that Rear-
Admiral Sir Ed. Owen will proceed to the East
Indies.

All was well on board his Majesty's ship Hussar
in Halifax harbour, on the 19th of August. She
had just returned from cruising in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence. During her former cruise in company
with the Tyne and Acorn, the Hussar, though a dull
sailer, had beaten both those ships, the Columbine
being considered the best, particularly on a wind,and
said to be a perfect beauty. It is reported at Hali-
fax, that when the Acorn and Contest parted from
the Hussar, on their way from Bermuda to that
port, though the wind was blowing a hard gale, it
was not such as might be supposed to endanger any
vessel, particularly one of the Acorn's description ;
and it is concluded they must have started butt-ends,
or have been taken aback under a press of sail.--
The Hussar fairly ran the Acorn out of sight, and
the Tyne, hull-down, in ten hours, under single-
reefed topsails, and royals going free ; likewise hull-
down under double-reefed topsails, blowing strong,
upon a wind.
The Medina arrived at St. Jago, Cape de Verd,
Aug. 13, and sailed the 14th for Sierra Leone. The
Hussar, Ringdove, and Columbine, arrived at Hali-
fax from Bermuda, Sept. 8. The Hasty arrived at
Mauritius from the Cape of Good Hope, June 3.

HOP PLANTATION OF SUSSEX.

We received this morning the following letter
from a resident in the middle of SusseX, dated Oct.
9, 1828, on the state of the. Hop plantation in that
county :
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR—I beg leave to request the favour of you to insert
this as a correction to an erroneous statement which ap-
peared a few days since in several Papers in the shape of a
letter, dated Rve, relative to the hop plantations of Sussex,
making a palpable false statement of the quantity of hops
grown this year, calculated to make a wrong impression
on the public. The motive for such a statement is obvious
enough to those acquainted with the trade, and that it was
made by some little dealer or dabbling speculator. Al-
though the planters have reason to suspect there is a union
of merchants to lower the price of hops, already much
under what will remunerate the grower, yet, notwith-
standing the endeavours (that are suspected) of the trade
in general to impress a belief of an abundant crop, and to an-
ticipate its consequences, I am well assured that no respect-
able merchant (and I have the pleasure of being acquainted
with many such in the hop trade) would condescend to
countenance, much less to be the author of such dishonour-
able and false statements as relate to Sussex, which,
instead of producing a greater quantity than last year, will
be one-fourth less : so far, I believe, the matter is already
decided. The upper part of the plantation is now down,
and so far weighed off as to leave no doubt of a great defi-
ciency compared with last year; in some grounds not half
so many—of the principal growers about two-thirds—and
but few more than three-fourths; though there are in-
stances of small gardens of two, three, four, or five acres.
which may produce nearly or quite a ton an acre, and I
know of one which will do more ; yet it is probable there
are not a dozen such cases in the whole county, and on a
scale so small as to be of little consequence in the aggregate
amount of duty. My statement is meant to be confined to
Sussex, but it would also well apply to the adjoining part
of the county of Kent. Middle Kent will do more, I am
told, but nothing equal, I believe, to what has been talked
of.—l am, Sir your obedient servant, *

THE BEST SUPERFINE BEAVER
HATS, for 21s. Improved Silk Hats, equally light,
for 12s. and 14e.—COVINTON and CO., 132, Cheap-
side, London, and Dale-street, Liverpool, impressed with
gratitude for the liberal patronage afforded them, beg to
state they are still manufacturing the same unrivalled Bea-
ver Hats at 21s. which have given so much satisfaction.
The medium of an advertisement is too confined to express
their perfections ; they are Waterproof, short in the nap,
of the most beautiful colour, oval shape, light, elastic, and
of astonishing durability.
Their Improved Silk Hats, price 125., are not made
upon common wool bodies, and in some instances brown
paper, which deleterious articles have been so long foisted
on the Public, but are positively made on the same stuff
body as a Beaver, consequently they partake of their elasti-
city and lightness, without the slighest pressure on the head,
an improvement which has been long wished for.
C. and Co. therefore earnestly entreat Gentlemen, pre-
vious to paying the present high prices, to call at 132,
Cheapside, and look at the Hats now offered for their in-
spection, as they will bear the minutest examination ; in-
deed they court it, being quite confident their Hats, and
the principle on which they do business, have only to be
known to ensure universal approbation.

CITY MARKETS-TWO O'CLOCK.

PLANTATION SUGARS—OnIy a limited proportion of
business has been done this morning, hnt in prices no altera-
tion can be noticed ; full prices have been obtained for the
good and fine qualities, the scarcity of which begins to be
felt rather nverely, both by the Grocers and Refiners : a
public sale of 124 hhds., and 29 tierces St. Lucia, took
place this morning, but as they were principally very low
browns and dabs, the prices given cannot be quoted ; one
lot good bright Yellow brought 635. 6d. ; 4,000 bags
Mauritius Sugar are advertised to be sold by public sale on
Thursday next.
Fonrraw SuoAns remain as last week. Refined Su-
gars, low goods, continue to be taken out of the Market at
the last prices; they still continue very scarce : the fine
grocery descriptions are also becoming scarce, in conse-
quence of two or three of the Patent houses having left off
working, and rather higher prices are obtained.
COFFEE—A parcel of Demerara is now being sold by
public sale, and the prices realized for the lots already dis-
posed of are considered to be fully equal to last week's,
viz, fine ordinary and middling, 60s. a 665.
Fnurr—No alteration. The demand for Red Smyina
Raisins for export still continues. •
Sricas—Cloves, Pepper, and Pimento, are in fair de-
mand, but at no material alteration in price.
SALTerntn---Many speculators are purchasing Saltpetre
in order to operate against a decline in the funds. Upon
the character of the next advicea from Constantinople the
price of this article will depend. Sales were made at the
end of last week, at 245. 6d. ; but the quotation is lower
to-day.
Is;nrco—The East India Company have announced a
sale for the 15th April, of 76 chests, which will be further
augmented by subsequent declarations; shipments are made
freely to the Continental markets, but the price to-day is
not higher than last week.
TAr.r.ow—A sale of not less than 2,800 casks were
made on Saturday last, at only 425. per cwt., being from
6d. to Is. under the highest prices lately obtained. The
speculation for a farther advance has thus received a cheek;
the present prices are in fact much too high. Tallow to-
day is 435. per cwt.
Haar and FLAX remain the same.
SILK.—The dealings in raw Bengal and other Silks,
since the East India sale, have been considerable, and the
late advance fully maintained. Italian Silks are looking
firm. Brutin is inquired after, as in the event of a war
with Turkey the supply will be stopped.
Hors are in fair demand at the previous quotations.
COTTON of all descriptions are not saleable freely; the
business done is for consumption, and speculation seems at
an end for the present. Egyptian has recovered the late
slight decline, and is in more demand.

appeared, hoAvkver, no reason why the wage-.; should
be withheld. _

Sir J. SCAR LETT, for the defendant, had a com-
plete answer to the plaintiff's claim for wages. The
defendant had been in the habit of paying the plain-
tiff regularly untilsome circumstances occurred which
led to a suspicion of his honesty. The defendant
employed hi 3 nephew to keep an eye upon the plain-
tiff while engaged in the shop, and in a very short
time he discovered that the plaintiff was plunder-
ing him. It would be proved, that from the
beginning of March to about July, the total
amount of embezzlements was 6!. 13s. I Id.
He was then dismissed from his situation, and
shortly after he wrote a letter to the defendant, in
which he acknowledged his guilt to the full extent.
A letter from the plaintiff to the defendant, datesl
the .sth August, 1827, was put in and read. It
contained a general confession of his guilt, and a
request to the defendant not to communicate the
circumstances to his (the plaintiff's) friends.
The Jury instantly found a verdict for the de-
fendant.

sure it would be one of the most grinding Admini-
strations upon the Catholics, though he was sure
the Marquis personally had good intentions; but he
would be surrounded by the Ascendancy Faction.

FORTITUDE.

With the exception of naval and military
men, there is no class of the community who
witness more examples of fortitude and personal
courage than the practitioners of surgery.—
What greater proof can be given of confidence
and courage, than that with which a person sur-
renders himself, blindfolded, and bound hand
and foot, to the knife of the operator ? Every
day in the week this great metropolis produces,
in silence and in secrecy, acts of heroism, of
strength of mind, and firmness of purpose, that
would do honour to an ancient Roman. I have
witnessed many in both sexes ; and although the
first amputation I ever saw had nothing of the
"sublime or the beautiful" to recommend it, yet
it affords an illustration of the observation,
from low life, of how much the mind may be
under controul, even during great bodily pain,
and ttle bitter anguish of the sudden loss
of a limb. " How do you find yourself,
Mrs. Judy ?" said a Saint Bartholomew's
surgeon, after taking off the arm of an
Irish basket-woman. " How do I find
myself? why, without my arm—how the d—l
else should I find myself?" was Mrs. Judy's
reply. In another operation, shortly afterwards,
of much more importance, the force of female
character was evinced in a different manner. A
lady, of some consequence—of the highest
order as to intellectual endowments—had occa-
sion to submit to one of the most serious, pain-
ful, and protracted operations that the sex can
be subject
to. Her case was a source of deep
interest
to all her friends, of the most bitter
anguish to her near and dear relatives. When
(4. an operation became decided,
the necessity
she determined
on the speedy and secret execu-
tion of it, and arrangements were made of her
own by which her physician, three
surgeons,
and myself, then a surgical aide-de-
camp,introduced
were into the house, and the
plaining,
operation
performed, without the
knowledgesoufcacenssy fuolnlye
of
her own family, or_the
cognizance of any of a large establishment, ex-
cepting her own maid.—London Medirael
Gazette, Jan. 5, IS-28.
