CORN EXCHAN GE. -.MID AY.
During the present week, the arrivals of English Wheat
coastwise have been moderately good. viz., 5,0-10 quarters;
but by land carriage and sample, very little has come fresh
to baud. The stands being fairly filled, and the accounts
from the North respecting the proge-s of harvest work more
favourable, the demand for all descriptions of Wheat or
home, produce was inactive, and Monday's quotations
were with difficulty supported. In foreig,n Wheat very
little haziness was transacted, at unaltered figures. The
I:ttle new Barley here has gone off on much the same
terms. We continue to have a fair retail demand for the
best old Malt. In other kinds very little doing. The show
of Oats was good, yet the demand was steady at full prices.

The supply of Beasts on sale here being rather limited, and
the att cmlance of Luyers somewhat numerous, the Beef trade
ruled fine, end Monday's quotatiors were supported in every
instance. There were 50 Oxen and Cows, 60 Sheep, and 4
Calves per steamers from Holland. Although the numbers
of Sheep were small, the inquiiy for them was in a sluggish
state, at barely stationary prices. In Calves a fair average
amount of business was transacted, and some superior breeds
realised .5s per Slbs. The Pork trade was steady, at our
quotations. MEd' Cows moved off slowly, at from 10/ to
101 cads.

BAN KRUPTCY—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Conimis,ioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE EVANS, AN INSOLVENT.
William Evans, of West Ilam, omnibus proprietor, applied
this morning for his interim order.
Mr. Cooke opposed him for two creditors, Mr. Blagden and
Mr. Israel Alexander, the well-known coach proprietor.
Tha insolvent, in examination, admitted that he had paid
a large amount for law expences and fines, and since the
filing of his petition, had paid 51. at Guildhall, which he had
borrowed of his friends. The debts in his schedule were
2721., he also owed 301. for dutv ; he had omitted to put that
down, as it was owing from 1840, when he disposed of his
busine,,s to Mr. Alexander.
Mr. Cooke submitted that it made the debts over 3001., and
that the petition must be dismissed.
The Court concurred, and immediately dismissed the peti-
tion.

DREADFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT
WE,•TELN RAILWAY.—(Tms MORNING.)—We have to an-
nounce another of those frightful accidents which of late has
been so frequent upon our different railways, attended, we
regret to say, with loss of life to the unfortunate engineer.
It appears from inquiries made, that the up-train left Pad-
dington at eight o'clock, and reached the West Drayton
station at ha!f-past eight :• here a quantity of luggage
was taken in and some passengers. Immediately after
the depatture of the train, a more than usual
quantity of steam was put on, the train being some
minutes behind the usual time. The' engineer, George Vasey,
was about to decrease the power, when the funnel of the
boiler exploded, the fragments of which flew in every direc-
tion, with one amazing and fearful discharge of steam.
The unfortunate Vasey was struck by some of the pieces of
the funnel, which, combined with the overpowering quantity
of steam, threw the poor fellow off the engine on to the train
rail. The engine was stopped, however, by the men,
on the instant of the accident taking place, which
prevented him being cut to pieces after failing. On
being taken up, the unhappy man presented a shock-
ing spectacle ; he was blackened and scorched, and the
front of his skull was mutilated in the most skocking
manner by the part of the funnel which struck against him.
lie was alive when taken up, but expired before reaching
the West Drayton station. The greatest excitement pre
wailed in consequence of the number of passengers in the train,
but the catastrophe was confined to the melancholy death of
the unfortunate engineer, upon whom an inquest will be held.
'Re accident is attributed to the quantity of steam incauti-
ously put on.

THE G ERMAN HOSPITAL AT DALSTON.—On Wed-
ncslav the hospital established by voluntary contributions
at Dalgou, near London, for the admission and relief of sick
and diseased natives of Germany and other persons speaking
the German language, was opened under the auspices of his
Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, as the repre-
sentative of his father, 'the Duke of Cambridge, the president
of the institution, who is now absent on the continent. The
institution originated at a public meeting held in June last at
the London Tavern and so rapidly have the benevolent in-
tentions of its founders been carried into effect, that a suitable
building has already been procured and converted into a
commodious and completely furnished establishment, com-
bining the advantages of an hospital and sanatorium. The
establishment comprises a committee-room, two female wards,
apartments for a resident physician and house-surgeon, dis-
pensing surgeon, assistant secretary, matron and nurses, six
sanatory rooms for persons of a superior Class .who are able
to pay fur their accommodation ; two men's wards, bathing-
rooms, a chapel, dispensary,. and all the customary offices. It
is capable of accommodating thirty-two or thirty-four in-
patients.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.'—The Prussian
Government has determined to apply an electric telegraph t

STATE or TRADE.—There was a considerable
change in the state of the yarn market yesterday ; the
animation which prevailed a few days ago having entirely
subsided, in consequence of the sudden cessation of pur-
chases for the German markets. We understand that this
cessation has been caused by the announcement (which ap-
peared in the Guardian of Saturday) that the Congress of
the Zollverein had brought its deliberations to a close with-
out imposing any additional duty on cotton twist. Down
to a very recent period, a strong impression prevailed that
the present duty would be very considerably increased at
the commencement of the year, ai:d large contracts had con-
sequently been made for yarns, to be delivered at such periods
as would enable the shippers to enter them within the
limits of the Zollverein before the Ist of January. As it is
now obvious that no advantage will be gained by this course,
the Germans have for a time discontinued their operations.
The spinners, however, are so generally engaged for some
weeks to come, that this pause in the demand has had no
sensibleeffect upon prices. The goods market remains in the
same state as last week, the demand being moderate, and
prices in some cases a little easier.—Menchester Guardian.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. 13.

JOURNEYMEN CARPENTERS' BENEVOLENT INSTI•
mer.—Last evening the sixth annual meeting of the mem-
bers and supporters of this charity, which 'is f'ormed for the
relief of aged and infirm journeymen carpenters and the
erection of an asylums for carpenters, their wives, and widows,
was held at the Bell, Old Bailer,, Mr. Munyard, carpenter
sa actory, and stated that
_
and builder, in the chair. Mr. ‘l,oed, honorary secretary,
read the report, which was very
tief
Messrs. Grissell and Peto, Baker, Hicks, Law, Cubitt Holt-
zafelle, Webb, and other employers, approved of and sup-
ported the institution. The members reckoned 200 journey-
men, and the Committee expected, that of 16,000 journeymen,
who compose the trade of the metropolis, at least 1,000
would be shortly enrolled, and aid them in bringing into
operation the original intention of the institution, which was
to allow 12s. a week to the aged and infirm, and the erection
being its inmates to
of an asylum for those who preferred
receipts, including
that of recipients of out-door relief.
661. 16s. ed., the result of a benefit at the Surrey Theatre,
amounted to 2671. 17s. Sd. The report was adopted, and
the officers for the ensuing year elected, after which the
meeting broke up.
With respect to the payment of the railway deposits
into Chancery in February next, it is essential to correct a
fallacy that has been fennel very prevalent. Many of the
public entertain the notion that Exchequer-bills and stock
may be brought into play in lieu of bards notes. On this it is
simply to be remarked, that stock and bills are property and
not money, that they represent, past savings, and are not
ap-
plicable to future outlays more than land or houses. The
substitution of them may indeed stave off the evil for the
m -anent, but it will not effectually cure it. Sooner or later
the amount must be paid in money, or the
projects must be
abandoned.—Times.
THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE ROYAL
ARSENAL.—In consequence of the fearful results of the late
fatal accident, the authorities seem determined to use every
effort to guard against the possibility of an event of a similar
nature occurring in the royal laboratory department. The
manufacture of blank and ball cartridge, which has hitherto
been carried on in sheds in the centre of the square attached
to the royal laboratory department, has been removed to
the extremity of the Arsenal, near the canal, and it is un-
derstood that the work of extracting the saltpetre from the
fuses will also be carried on in this spot as soon as the neces-
sary. arrangements for that purpose can be made. The
ppears to be to remove these some-
object of these changes a
what dangerous occupations from those localities where a
large quaeity i'f inflammable and czplosive compeends are
necessarily deposited.

TUE EUTERPEON SOCIETY.—The members of this
choral Society gave a grand concert last evening at the City
Lecture Theatre, Milton-street, Fore-street, in two parts;
the first, consisting of selections from Haydn's oratorio, The
Creation; and the second a miscellaneous selection from some
of the best authors. The Misses Turner, Miss Chamber., Mr.
Field, Master Field, and Mr. P. Smith were the professionals
engaged, and acquitted themselves in a praiseworthy manner.
Mr. W. Blagrove was the leader, and Mr. Holdernesse the
conductor. The numerous and respectable audience fre-
quently testified their approval of the exertions of the So-
ciety, and separats-d seemingly gmatified with the evening's
en tert ainm ent.

DEATH OF a RELAPSED TEETOTALLER.—Yester-
day Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Cumberland Head,
City-road, on the body of William Sawyer, aged 45 years,
who was found lying in the street on the morning of 'Mon-
day last. Police-constable G 226, deposed that about half-
p:st five o'clock on Monday morning, he saw deceased lying
en the pavement in Cowper-street, St. Lake's in a state of
intoxication, but sensible. lie inquired of him where he
lived, and was told by deceased at 49 in that street. Wit-
ness knocked at the door, and was tad by a person from the
first-floor window that the man had lodged there, but had
!eft some time. Witness conveyed him to the station-house,
where he remained until the evening, when he was taken to
St. Luke's workhouse. John Smith Bacon, master of the
workhouse, stated that when deceased was admitted he was
'in a horribly filthy state—his clothes, which were only rags,
had completely eaten into his flesh from blood and dirt. He
was clean! ed and placed in a warm bed, but died in the
course df the night. On examining his rags subsequently,
and which were obliged to be cut to pieces for the purpose,
two sovereigns and a half in gold, 16s. in silver and copper,
with a silver watch and guard, were found embedded in the
filth in which the clothes were enveloped. Mr. Courtney,
surgeon, said he had made a post inoron examination—
found excessive disease of the liver, arising from excessive
and habitual drinking—the coats of the stomach were in-
flamed. Witness attributed death to these catilibs. Ver-
dict—" Natural Death, accelerated by excessive drinking."
Deceased was most respectably connected, and had resided at
Red• hill, near Reigate. He had been some time a teetotaller,
but had relapsed into his former vicious and intemperate
courses.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER..--Between five and six
o'clock on Wednesday night, a man named Fre lerick
c.n renter, of Wood. street, Clapton, while passing a field near
Temple-mills, Horner ton, observed a young man holding in
his hand a loaded gun, cocked, pointing in the direction of
the footpath. Field remonstrated with him upon his reckless
conduct, when the man assailed him in a grossly violent
manner. Field proceeded onwards about a dozen yards, and
on turning round was alarmed to find the fellow aiming at
hint. In an instant he discharged the gun, anti Field fell to
the ground. In a few minutes he rose, and seized his assail..
ant ; a violent struggle timed, during which both fell into a
ditch, Field bleeding profusely from the head. Fortunately
Mr. Thompson, a publican, living in the Commercial-road,
came up and secured the ruffian, who, with police assistance,
was lodged in the station-house. He gave hiS name Philip
Ernst., dyer, of Punderson-street, Be:hue-green. Mr. Garrod,
divisional surgeon, attended Field, and pronounced bins to be
oat of immediate danger. The contents of the gun entered
part of the head and the right side, and inflicted a
• A and a Lan' k uxit,rit. Ernst's friends visited
at a late hour, but he evinced no remorse at his
site a! ion. At ten o'clock Field was pronounced to be in a pre-
cut ious state.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE,
THE YELLOW FEVER AT STANGATE CREEK.—Dr. Rogers
(of the Ocean) is convalescent, and no new cases have ap-
peared since he was attacked, and it is hoped now that the
disease is at an end. Mr. Heath, the assistant-surgeon of the
Dwarf, as we have before stated, was put on board the
Revenge on Sunday. The services of no other medical
officer has been required, though the aesistant surgeons of
the Raven cutter and the Formidahle, 84, were held in readi-
ness to proceed on board if necessary.
CosTaT manna!, ON A LIEUTENANT OF THE, SUPF,RI3.
The Court-martial on Lieutenant Lindsay P. Burrell (1840),
on the charge of having been found asleep on his watch in
the passage of the Superb, 80, from Portsmouth, was held
yesterday, on board the Caledonia, 120, Captain Manley Hall
bixon. The charge was preferred by Captain Corry, of the
Superb. Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym was president,
THE SURVEYOR'S lalatian.—The Vanguard, 80, Captain
G. W. Willes, went into Portsmouth harbour under sail on
Wednesday, and Went alongside the Victorious bulk, into
which vessel tie officers and ship's company were moved.
On Thursday she was brought into the Angle dock, all stand-
ing and with sails bent, the Harlequin, 16, having been
moved out to make room for her. The same arrangements
have been made to expedite her refit k 23 were made when the
Superb was last docked. As soon as the water had receded
a little from the dock, and the ship was shore up, 124 ship-
wrights were placed round her to strip of her copper, which
was nearly accomplished at five r.sa. The men will work
extra hours tankwcrk, and no doubt the Vanguard will be
ready to leave the dock en. Saturday next. The copper was
foul, and some considerable quantly of grass was growing
in patches. The copper was very much ruffled, and ap-
peared worn thin in some places. On the starboard side, under
the forechains, the nails for a considerable distance along the
lower edge of the second sheets of copper had been all drawn
out, which we imagine must have been occasioned by the
straining of the ship in this particular part. We hear that
the excessive rolling cf this ship is most awful : it is said
her channels were continua:ly iu tire water. The hatchway
guard stanchions have nearly all been carried away, from the
Earners holding on them to save themselves when the ship
Was last at sea.
ROYAL ManixEs.—Messrs. John Tunstall Has-erfield and
Joke Sangster, whose appointments as cadets we gave a few
weeks since, and who were considered by Lord Haddington
to have strong claims to the preference of the Mil-drafty,
have been appointed second lieutenants in the Royal Marine
corps, the former to the Plymouth division, and the latter to
the Chatham division. Commissions dated the 14th lust.
Mr. Jonathan Aylen (1823), master, late of the Hastings,
72, and the Victory, 104, has been appointed to command the
Alban,• steam-transport, vice Lieut. Lowe.
The officers and men on leave from the Vanguard, 80,
Captain Willes, when that ship left Devenport fpr Ports-
mouth, were sent to the latter port yesterday in the Confi-
ance, steam-tug.
TRIAL OF ANCHORS.—Tbe Comet, steam-vessel, Lieut.
Commander Prettyman, on 'Wednesday towed over to Rvde
two dock-yard anchor lumps, containing anchors of Mr.
Porter and the Admiralty, to be further tested on Ryde
sands. On Monday and Tuesday last these anchors were
tried on the mud off the Clarence-yard, when, we under-
stand, Mr. Porter's anchors had some advantage. Captain
Mnubrav, of the Victory, 104 ; Mr. Brown, Master-Attend-
ant, and the Master of Vthe Victory, Mr Flinn, are the offi-
cers ordered to report on the respective merits of these
anchors.

LITERATURE.
MEMOIR rf JOHN AUBREY, F.R.S., emb,aring
his Au o biographical Sketches, and an Account of his
Works. By Joan Britton, F. 5.4.
About four years since several noblemen and gentle-
men of Wiltshire established the Wiltshire Topographi-
cal Society. The object of this Society i 7 to illustrate
the history of the county of Wilts, by publishing his-
torical and descriptive accounts of places and things in
the county, and biographical memoirs of celebrated man
native's of Wiltshire. To the institution of this Society
we are iralebted fer the publication of the very inte-
resting memoir now before us, which rescues from the
obloquy which has been most undeservedly thrown upon
it the memory of a man who was an honour to his coun-
try, and who was far in advance of the age in which he
floarished (from 1626 to 1697). Unfortunatelh, how-
ever, for Aubrey's fame, he became accpulinted with
Anthony d whom he permitted to have access to
his manuscripts. Anthony i Wood having in the most
barelaced manner plundered Aubrey, having cut out 44
pages bodily from Aubrey's lives of eminent men, and
appropriated them as his wan, turned round upon his
benefactor, noel actually had the impudence to brand him
whoa] he hel plundered as "a pretender to antiqui-
ties, a saiEless person, roving and rnaggottie-headed,
sometimes little better than crazed." The only pub-
lished work rut this time of Aubrey's was his miscella-
nies, in which he had been at pains to collect all sorts
of ghost stories and tales of witchcraft, and in which
he avowed his belief in judicial astrology—a belief
which he held in common with Dryden, Clarendon, the
witty Duke of Buckingham, King Charles 1., and other
eminent men, his contcmporeries. As Aubrey, in con-
sequence of this pablieation, has become the classical
authority on this metter, a::d as all subsequent authors,
when treating en the subject, have quoted from him, his
name has become inseparably connected with the follies
of that pseudo-science, and posterity treated him as the
crazed and " maggottie-headed," being that Anthony
Wood maliciously represents him to have been, solely
because he believed in that which was the prevailing
faith of his time, without taking the pains to inquire into
the real character of the man as (lea, loped in his mantis
scripts. still existing in the Ashmolean Museum and
which prove him, on many points, to have been far in
advance of his age.
"He may be regarded," says Mr. Britton, "essentially
an archeologist, aeli the first person in this country who
fairly deserved that name historians, chroniclers, and topo-
gTaphers there had been before his time, but he was the first
who devoted his studies and abilities to archeology in its
various ramifications of architecture, genealogy, paleogra-
; Wise numismatics, heraldry, Scc. No one before him investi-
' gated or understood any thing of the vast Celtic temple at
Avehury, and other monuments of the same class; and cer-
tainly no person had preceded him is attempting, to distin-
guish the succe.ssivc -change .s in style and decoration of
ancient ecclesiastical edifices, or to ascertain, by observing
architectural features and details, to what era any particular
building belonged."
His great work on this subject is his " Monumenta
Britannica," abridernents of which are is the Bodleian
Library, at Stourhead in Wilts, and in Mr. Britton's 1
collection. The original, however, although known to
have been in existence as late as 1819, in four folio vo-
lumes, of 100 pages each, is now nowhere to be found.
It was then in the library of W. Churchill, Esq., of
Ilenbury. To Aubrey also is due the honour of having
first demonstrated that Stonehenge was a Druidical mo-
nument, in opposition to the opinion of Inigo Jones, by
whom it was considered as a Roman work. In early
life Aubrey was a member of Harrington's celebrated
Rota Club. He was one of the original members of the
Royal Society, and the intimate friend and associate of
Hobbes of eialmesbury (of whom he wrote a most
interesting biographical memoir), Hooke, and Sir W.
Petty, and Evelyn. It is not probable that
these men would have admitted into their intimacy " a.
maggottie-headed man neerly crazed." But Aubrey
had offended the clergy of the University of Oxford by
a manuscript treatise,' entitled " Idea of Education
of Young Gentlemen from Nine to Eighteen," which is
still in existence in the Ashmolean Museum, in which
he not only utterly condemns the beastly practice of
flogging, but proposes that " the education of young
gentlemen should be better conducted and more inde-
pendently of the priesthood than in any academy or college
then extant." Are we not justified in saying that
Aubrey was in advance of his age. Here is the very
scheme of priestless education so recently proposed by
the Government. But Aubrey foresaw that the bigots
would be too strong for him, for he thus concludes his
esFay:—"But now, methinks, I see a black squadron, led
up by a crosier staff, (Dr. John Fell, Bishop of Oxford),
marching from Oxford- to discomfite this pretty little
flock, and so this my pleasing dream is at an end—
Soli I)eo Gloni:s." The scheme itself is excellent —there
is one point of it, however, which may create a smile.
He recommends the study of astrology "as the best
guide to direct us to what professions or callings children
are by nature most fit or most inclined to ;" but if the
reader will have the goodness to substitute for astrology,
phrenology,or any otherology which may be most in fashion,
as teaching what astrology then professed to teach, he
may perhaps feel inclined to be merciful to poor Aubrey.
The follies of one age bear a marvellous resemblance to
those of its predecessors—the names alone are changed.
The " black squadron" of that day, however, were wiser
in their generation than the black squadrons of the pre-
sent. They contented themselves with attacking the
author as a crazy," maggottie-headed" man, without ven-
turing to attract attention to his plan by raising against
it the cry of a " godless scheme of education." Had
Aubrey lived in our day he would have been honoured
and reverenced, and his name would have appeared as
director of some score of joint-stock companies. He was
a most ingenious projector. Here are two of his
schemes—l. "To get a patent to open the passage for
to make it wider for shippes to come to Bristowe, also to
blow up the little island in the key at Bristol." A cen-
tury afterwards this was carried into effect, and the
Bristol docks were formed. 2. "To put somebody
upon the marrying the Thames and Avon, and to get a
share in it." This has also since been clone by the
cutting of the Kennet and Avon Canal. We see it is
the intention of the Topographical Society of Wiltshire
to publish his Natural History of that county ; we shall
look foi'rrard with great interest to the appearance of
this very curious work. Mr. Britton' has executed his
labour of love—for it has evidently been a labour of
love with him—in a style which makes this a model for
future biographers of literary men. His research has
been unwearied, and he has been enabled to enrich his
memoir with several interesting literary anecdotes ; for
instance, when speaking of Aubrey's MS., entitled,
" Memoirs of Natural! Remarques in Wilts," he says—
"ln chapter 17, which illustrates the grandeur of the
Pembroke family, and describes their splendid seat at Wilton
in the following passage, which is here quoted as a matter of
curiosity, throwing a doubt (as it does) upon the authorshil
of one of the most celebrated verses of the seventeent
century;

"‘ Underneath this sable hearse
Lies the subject of all verse,
Sidney's sister—Pembroke's mother.
Death, ere thou kill'st such another,
Fair and wise, and learn'd as she,
Time will throw a dart at thee.'
" These verses were writ by Sir William Browne, who
wrote the Pastoralls,' and they are inserted there.
"The above lines are almost universally attributed to Ben
Jenson ; it is, therefore, essential to observe that Aubrey is
not alone in stating them to be by Browne, the author of the
Pastoralis ; ' for, in his note upon the subject, he left a blank
for the latter's hristian name, William, which was filled
up by Evelyn, when he perased his manuscript. Indeed,
Evelyn not only filled up such blank, but added, as a further
note--' William, Governor to ye now Earl of Oxford.'"
We are now reluctantly compelled to draw this notice
to a close, but we cannot do so without offering our
hearty congratulations to Mr. Britton on the triumphant
manner in which he has vindicated the fame of one of
Wiltshire's most worthy sons, and at the same time
expressing a hope that other counties will follow the
example of Wiltshire, by instituting Topographical
Societies for the illustration and preservation of those
historical monuments which have been delivered to us
by our foreflthers in trust for posterity. We had al-
most omitted to mention that the memoir is illustrated
by a portrait of Aubrey and a view of Easten Piers, the
place of his birth.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.
MAIDSTONE.-Our hop reports are so completely unani-
mous as to the progress and results of the picking, that, in
the crowded state of our columns, we consider it a waste of
room to publish them in detail. The fact is now established
that the crop Is extremely short of last year in the great
majority of grounds, although there are favoured exceptions.
The picking has been sadly hindered by the wet, but is now
fast drawing to a close. Arany acres in the neighbouring
parishes will not be picked at all, as, on account of the de-
ficiency of hands, the hops will be worthless before they can
begin upon them. Our famous College ground wil row about sixty-four bags off the twenty acres. This parilshgwill
average about six cwt. per acre. Duty from 150,000/. to
160,000L—Maidstonc Journal.
WORCESTER. OcT. 15.--Our market was supplied on Sa-
turday with about 500 pockets of new hope, 357 of which
were sold at various prices, ranging from 112 s. to 168 s. per
cwt., and some of the samples were so very inferior that
no one would even make a bid for them. The best samples
were, however, bought up eagerly at the prices above
named ; and for one or two choice samples Si. 15s. per cwt.
was offered, and refused. Owing to the scarcity of good
new hops, the demand for yearling and old hops continues
as brisk as ever, 71. 7s. to 71. 12s„ being the current prices of
the former, and 635. to 90s. per cwt. for the latter. There
were 29 pockets of new weighed during the week, and 357
pockets of new and 22 of old on Saturday.
RENT.—The weather of this week has somewhat improved
upon last, which has afforded relief from the despondency of
those who had not picked all their hops. A better condition
is also slightly observable in the hops, and the duty has con-
sequently risen. A person who takes interest in this sub-
ject has made the following computation of the duty that will
be realised from each district :—Rochester, 50,0017. ; Sussex,
60,r 00/. ; Faversham, 5,000/. ; Canterbury, 30,000/. ; Wor-
cester, 11,000/. ; Kingdom, 2,000/. Total, 158,0004 General
accounts state that the picking is now drawing to a close, but
that in some places it will not be finished for a fortnight,
and in others that the hops will not be picked at all, for,
owing to the scarcity of hands, they will not be worth any-
thing after a further delay. We find that the lowest set of
the duty is 150,000/., and the highest 165,0001.—Canterbury
Journal of yesterday.

BANK OF ENGLAND.—The fol!owing notice, issued
yesterday by the Directors of the Bank of England, shows
that the long-anticipated movement has taken place:—
" of Enland, Oct. 16, .
" At a Court of Directors,Bank held this day, resolved 1845
" That the minimum rate of interest on London bills and
notes, discounted at the Bank of England, be 3/. per cent.,
such bills and notes not having more than 95 days to run."
Among the monied interest this step meets general approval.
For some time money has been in sufficient demand to enable
the capitalists to make greater profit in the employment of
it, had not the low rate fixed by the Bank of England proved
an obstacle. It is supposed by many that thq rise in the
interest of money will not stop at this point, on the ground
that the Bark lately limited their period of accommodation
to one month, and that this month has not yet expired.—

ANALYSIS OF COAL.—It is stated that Mr. F.
WrightQon, of Birmingham, has been directed by the Lords
f as, Admiralty to make an analysis of the different kinds
of coal in Great hritain. The object is one of great import-
an'r, not only in reference to our steam navy (on account of
which the analysis is instituted), in order to show the relative
value of different seams of coal, but also on account of our
various manufactures, some of which require coals of a very
different kinds from those suitable for others. An inquiry of
the same kind has been completed in America.— Wolver-
hampton Chronicle.

ACCIDENT TO A CABMAN.--011 Thursday morning,
between seven and eight o'clock, a young man named James
King, a carman in the service of 111 r. Jones, a builder, was
proceeding along the Ranelagh-road with his team, when
suddenly he was observed to fall, and before the horses could
be stopped the wheel passed over his left leg, which was frac-
tured in a frightful manner. Assistance was immediately
procured, and the poor fellow was conveyed to the hospital.
HOP GROWING IN NOTTIMIABISIIIR E.—The last
six years growing in the North Clay district has been a losing
concern to the growers. The management of a hop-yard is
201. per acre; and the average during that period has not
been quite 3 cwt. per acre. The consequence is that the
planters are beginning to adapt their hop grounds to other
and more profitable purposes, so that in a few yea -3 hop-
growing in Nottinghamshire will become a matter of history.

A man named Riom, formerly an irspeetGr of the
Wilts police, is in custody at Bath, charged with stealing a
silver hammer, and a cash-box containing 801., the property

Gazette,

LETTERS OF Jumus.—The Inverness Courier says,
that Sir David Brewster, who is married to a daughter of the
late James Macpherson, Esq., translator of " Ossian's Poems,"
has discovered some letters among the papers of his father-
in-law which may lead to the discovery of a great secret—
the authorship of " Junius." The person who, as Sir David
thinks, may be identified as' the author, is Lachlan Maclean,
the son of an Irish Presbyterian clergyman, but descended
from the ancient Scottish family of the Macleans of Coll. He
was bred to the study of medicine, but became a political
writer and adventurer in London, and rose to some eminence.
He was once an Under-Secretary of State, in which capacity
he might have become acquainted with State secrets.
Having been sent out to India by Government in 1776, he
was shipwrecked and drowned on the passage—a circum-
stance that may account for the non-revealment of thesecret
as to the authorship of " Junius." His papers were all lost

at the same time.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—AN EXTRAORDINARY RETURN
or HEALTH IN A FEW DAYS By THE USE OF HOLLOWAY'S
PILLS.—The patient having previously been in an ill-state for
six years, Mr. Benjamin Hawkins, employed in the ironworks,
and well known at the Crown and Cushion, High Bullen, Wed-
nerbury, Staffordshire, had, to use his own phrase, been a sad
afflicted creature, and that no one but God and himself knew
what he suffered from aches and pains in all his joints and shins,
likewise from a disordered liver and stomach, with scarcely
strengths sufficient to keep about ! Here again have Holloway's
Pills restored to health an individual labouring under the most
complicated diseases.— Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor
Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand.
GENERAL POST-OFFICE.—LETTERS FOR CEYLON.
—The following notice was yesterday issued :—On and
from the Ist of November next, the British packet postage
of one shilling the half-ounce, and so on in proportion, on
letters posted in the United Kingdom, and addressed to the
Island of Ceylon, rid Southampton, may be paid in advance
or not, at the option of the sender. Letters not addressed
viet Southampton will be forwarded br the way of Marseilles,
and the postage on them must be paid in advance.
EXTRAORDINARY HIGH TlDE.—Yesterrlay after-
noon there was an unusually high tide. At Bankside,
Lambeth, and Thames-bank, the wharfs and adjacent streets
were flooded ; some portions of Battersea-fields were inun-
dated, and al the meadows and pleasure-grounds on the
Middlesex side, between Battersea and Putney-bridge, were
some feet under water. At the latter-mentioned bridge the
Kew steam-boats could not pass through, and were obliged
to awa t the falling of the tide, much to the inconvenience
of the pwsengers. At Wandsworth the tide made free with
the works of the Richmond Railway, on that side of the
line that will pass over the osier-beds. Here the tide rose
about four feet, suspended all labour, and floated the timber
about in admirable confusion. The high tides will be very
prejudicial to the progress of the viaduct which is to traverse
this part, and immense expense must be incurred in the
making of dams before the foundation of the bridges can be
laid.

EFFECT OF GUANO ON VINES AND ORANGE TREES.
—Mr. Driver, of Madeira, in February last, used four bags
of Peruvian guano on four acres of vines, the result of which
is that he had four-fold the quantity of grapes produced in
former years, which, of course, will yield four times the quan-
tity of wine, unless bad weather occurs between this and the
vintage. Mr. D. also tried it with orange trees, which have
Oven nearly double the usual ;umber, and are much larger
in size.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
We have just received a statement, the perfect accurr
of which we have not the means of verifying at the moms
but from inquiries which we have made there is every reas
to apprehend that it Nvill prove too true. The account
as follows :—On Monday night the usually quiet village
Byford (a few miles from this city) was thrown into t
greatest agitation and alarm in consequence of Miss El!
Davies, a very interesting and pretty girl, having bt
shot at. She was picked up—(the exact spot is not me,
tioned)—insensible, and bathed in blood, which flowed frt
the left arm and shoulder, which are fractured, and s'
lies in a very dangerous state. A quantity of blood v
also traced down the meadow and over the stile at t
back of the house, so that some one else beside Miss Day
must have been wounded, as she was not in that directi
From what our correspondent subsequently states, it is
improkable that the perpetrator afterwards attempted I
own life. For nearly three years past (he says) a gentler:
paid his addressesto her, but was rejected on account of a pi
vious engagement; he then left England, but returned aga
and renewed his addresses in a most threatening and resell
manner, she vainly endeavouring to avoid him. Her frien
seeing that he still pursued her, thought that she had 'bey
receive his addresses—which, I believe, she did; but it a
pears that she received information that he had formerly
a very gay life, and he was again rejected. Since that to
he has been in a deranged state of mind, and confined;
used then to say that he would shoot her; that she shm
never hzve any other ; that he would shoot hims
with her, &c. He has been watching his opportun'
more than a week. Our correspondent speaks in
highest terms of the victim's prudence, good temper, a
happy disposition, and adds, " I believe there, has been m,
than one attempt to carry Miss D. off." Three hree weeks r
she had a narrow escape; she was met by two men mull
up in a great cloak, but her father and his man happening
be coming along the road at the time, they then put i
down and took to their heels. That party cannot be fot
out.

The distress of her parents at the el,-ent which has j
occurred may be better imagined than told. We have lean
that Miss Davies was undoubtedly greatly annoyed by
addresses of a person such as described—so much so that
intended to leave the place. It is not improbable, therefi
that, with the desperate passion for the destruction of
which characterises the lunatic, he may first have at:emp
to kill his victim and afterwards himself.—Hereford Journa,,

—E now CoNnucT---.—On. Friday last, as the fl
boat, which takes the Oban passengers for the Dolp:
on
steamer, was plyingthe Crinan Canal, about two mi
from the west end, a drunken sailor, who was a P amen,
in the steerage, fell overboard. and before the boat could
stopped, or any assistance rendered, sank to the bottom, E.
would inevitably have perished but for the intrepidity of I
Maxwell, who, without pausing to take off more than I
upper portion of his clothes, plunged into the canal in I
direction the body had sunk, but, owing to the muddin
of the water, unhappily without success. Directed by (
of the spectators, however, he dived a second time, and
length succeeded in laying hold of the drowning man, a
bringing him to the surface. The body was immediat
brought ashore, and the proper remedies applied with co
plete success. Ile speedily revived, and was put on bo
the Rob Roy steamer, which fortunately- came up at
time. One common feeling of gratitude and admirati
was felt and expressed by the numerous passengers at
conduct of Dr. Maxwell, who thus, under Providence, ti
the means of saving the life of a fellow-being.—Glas,
Herald.

6IIILD MunnEn.—On Tuesday, Mr. Higgs ht
an inquest at the Ship, Teirple Pier, Strand, on the body
a male infant that was found by Edward Ellis, a waterm:
on the previous evening, close to the pier. Dr. Gilla
assistant to Mr. Walker, surgeon, of Drury-lane, who
:mined the body, stated that it had reached its full to
that there were wounds about the head, and the decea
died from want of proper care. Verdict, " Wilful murder,
INVENTION IN LOCOMOTION.—A few days sin
we observed on the road between Penzance and days
strange kind of carriage, travelling at a good rate. On
quirt' we found it a locomotive steam-engine, for travail'
over roads of bill and plain. It was propelled by condea
steam. The inventors are Mr. J. Thomas, a miner, and :
R. Henwood, surveyor, by whom the carriage was me
There is no noisefrom the steam; the condensing the ste
added geeatly to the power, as was proved by interrupt '.
the communication. Although the machine was a small (
it produced condensation for a great many hours, that
the steam was raised rapidly. We understand the pan
have secured their invention by a patent —Cornwall Gaz(
MICROSCOPIC EXPERIMENT.—It is not genera,a_
known that the thin transparent membraneous tongue of
frog furnishes a much better microscopic object for view '.
the general circulation, that of the mucous follicles, mus,
lar contraction, &c., than the foot, the tale of a tadpole,
other transparent structures. As remarked by Doi
(Cours de Microscopic), it possesses the advantage of be.
an organ of high vascularity and of very complex structi,
into the composition of which enter nearly all anatomi
elements, such as arteries, veins, capillary vessels, muse
nerves, glands, membranes, &c,, representing, in short, aln.
the entire orgaidsation of the body on a small scale; m,,
over, there is no difficulty in its preparation. onlyTheeto ;
jection is, that the experiment renders necessarytou h
use of pins, for the purpose of fixing
