HOP INTELLIGENCE.

811UTIVIVARK, SEPT. 14.—We hare had a very
considerable re,inclion in onr prices since Thurs.
&ay last, and %VC have a very heavy market to-
day.

PRICES,
Kent Pocket% from 81.'5%. to 101. 10s.
Sussex Pockets...... 81. us. to 91. ss,
Bags not yet in demand—Nominal prices from
81. to 81. 15s.

The greater part of the grounds in this neigh-
bourhood are already picked ; Air. Ellis finisl►ed
his immense plantations on Friday last, and we
hear they alone produce the amazing
lily of 350 tons, which are considered excellent
in quality. The sale at our market on Thursday
last was extremely dull, and but very few sam-
ples disposed of, and since then the prices have
continued to get louver, but this we think is owing
in a great measure to the market being so exces-
sively glutted it present.—(Maidsione Journal,
Sept. 14.)

WESTERN DISTRICT 01, STIRLINGSHIRE.-Thii
district at present appears a floe scene, the whole
face of the country Wearing a beautiful aspect,
every species of crops having nearly arrived
at maturity. Indeed, a great deal of both bar-
ley and oats have been already cut down, and
each promises well. The quantity of wheat
in the district this year is not so great, less
of it having been sown than on former years,
hut what is of it promises well. The weather
during the mouth bas been mostly dry front the
beginning till the 27th, accompanied w ith sun-
shine, the rays thereof affording so much genial
heat, that the crop will in general be 'lt ry true,
although not Sp bulky as wai expected. Harvest
will be general in tight days.—Good milub cows
sell from I'2l. to 201. each. Horses still Inert with
flat sales. Hay in the district sold at 51. to 3/.55.
an hundred-weight.—(Lennoxicrn, Campsie„lug.

FlRE.—Yesterday morning,ahout three o'clock,
a fire broke out at the house of Mr.-BALDWIN*
bookseller, Newgate-street, which began in a
bed-room where Mr's. IL was (who ha(: only been
confined ten days). The bed and curtains were
totally burnt, but Mrs. B. and her infant were
safely conveyed to the house of Messrs. CRRES
NMI HUXLEY. With the assistance of the neigh-
bours and firemen, who were very prompt iii
their attendance, the fire was completely subdued
without going farther than the room it broke out
in. This is another caution to use nothing but
lanterns in the rooms of sick persons.
MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—A very painful
degree of interest has keen excited by the sudden
disappearance of Mr. R. Sellers, art eminent card-
maker, at Wike, near Bradford, who, there it
every reason to fear, has either perished by acci-
dent or been the victim of an assassin, fins
Gentleman attended the market at this place on
Tuesday, where he remained until ten o'clock at
night, when he mounted his horse, for the
avowed purpose of returning home, but which,
there is every reason to tear he was destined
never to reach, for since that moment he has not
been either seen or heard of. On the following
evening, about seven o'clock, the horse of this.
unfortunate Gentleman was found in the river
Aire, about 200 yards below Armley Mills. The
animal appeared mach exhausted, and was co-
tangled in it sand-back, from which, apparently,
it had made many ftuitlesa efforts to extricate
itself : with some difficulty it was dragged ashore.
The finding,of the horse, of course, excited the
most painful apprehensions for the fate of Mr.
Sellers, and the river has been carefully dragged
for a considerable distance, both above and be-
low the place where the horse was found, but
hitherto without any result which can remove in
ally degree the agonizing anxiety of his friends.
The search is still continued with unabated per-
severance, and a reward of ten guineas is offered
to encourage others to assist in this painful duty.

It is a consolation to the industrious mechanic,

to know they may have the best advice, gratis, if
they attend at certain hours, namely, TuesdAy,
Thursday, and Sunday mornings, until one
o'clock, at the Medical Board, Great Chat
street, Blackfriars-road. That thousands sieffcr
from improper treatment is a fact—the latent
seed of a dreadful disease lurks in the system, de-
stroys domeitic happiness, and entails debility on

On Thursllay last,.B numerous company, eon-
'3istiog of about iff of the principal Gentlemen of
the East and West Wards, and others, amongst
Whom were Lord Frederick Bentinck, Sir Philip
"Mnsgrave,. Bart , Mr. i\liigrave, 6:e &e. assem-
bled st the Kines Elvail, Appleby (Col. llAsw,

mines nt the choice‘t Upon the removal
of the cloth the I,ello,ving toasts were given—
" lime King"----" Plince Regent," (with three
times three) —" The Quecti," (in respectful
silence).

f Tpon the Lord Lieutenant's health being drank,
Frith three Times three,-
Lord LoWTIf En rose and addressed the meeting
to the I,dh,eritig effect :—Nearly connected as I
m with the Lord Lieutenant, it is impossible for
the not to express the satisfaction, feel at the
hi‘ottrahie mention of his name. The respect of
neighbours, with whom he has the good for-
time to he upon terms of friendship and social in-
tetcourse, has always been one of his first oh-
j,ers, an* such an acknowledgment he will deem
the highest reward you can offtr him. There is
no one, as a public officer, or a private individual,
who can be animated with a warmer desire to
Preserve your ti,Livs, or advance the general wel-
fare of the co-unty, than himself; residing amongst
von, it is well known he has always been easy of
access, and open to communkations; I ant as-
sured every tioprejudiced person will do him the
justice to at knovtdedge, that a large portion of
his time is devoted to the business of the county,
which, I think, all mtot admit be executes with
promptites, and impartiality.
" The Duke of York and the Army"—" The
Duke of Clarence and the Navy"—and, " The
'AL:whets for the County," were given (the last
with three times three), after which,

Lord LOWTHER again rose, and said,—Gentle-
men, as you have done me the honour to invite
me here to-day, to celebrate the triumphal issue
of the late contest, it is natural, nay impossible,
not to speak of election matters. I shall always
look back with pride and satisfaction to the 4th
of July, the day on which I was chosen a second
time as ore of your Representatives in Parliament.
We were told by our opponents, that all the ad-
vaniage was on our side, and that they alone had
difficulties to encounter ; and, though they de-
precated so much the influence of Peers, we saw
bow ready they were to take advantage of the aid
uttered them nom Appleby Castle. Does any one
believe that without the purse of the Hereditary
High Sheriff there would hove been a contest ?
Though we are celebrating the result of the Elec-
tion in the only ward in which we were iu a mi-
nority, this was owing to the Hereditary High
Sheriff and his agents exercising their influence
ill a manner alniost unexampled at Elections., It
is the usual courtesy to permit Candidates to agree
upon an Assessor : this was waved, contrary to
all rule ; but as the Hereditary Sheriff is respon-
sible for the miscon.hict of the Assessor, and as
have oo complaint to make against hits, it,is only
the manner in which he was selected that I
complain of. ,And although his political senti-
ments are known to be hostile to us, yet I should
not have mentioned this subject had not the pro-
ceedinp of the. Sheriff at the Lite Assizes called
upon me to make some observations. I speak of
the principal, because the Deputy Can only act
from his orders. Mr. Bolton, Mr. Fisher, of
Mill-top, and several other Gentlemen of consi-
derable landed property, were omitted to'fie sum-
moned upon the Grand Jury ; whether this was
a mistake, or pitiful electioneering spite, I am
unwilling to express my opinion. If it was a
mistake; it was a neglect that should not pass
unobserved : if it was done intentionally, it
shows to what an extent this office is capable of
abuse, when the same partiality may be ex-
tended from year to year. The privilege is the
only remaining one of the sort in England, and
what has occurred lately cannot tend to reconcile
any rational Mall to the continuance of this excep-
tion. It behoved the- county now to watch most
closely the legal proceedings of the High Sheriff;.
for if partiality was shcwmi iu the selection of Ju-
lies, it might lead to cousivences dangerous
to the life, liberty, and property of the subject.
I do not despair, and I hope to live to see,this
office executed by a County Gentleman, for it is
much more congenial to the spirit of the Cousti-
tOtion that those duties shoold be executed by p
County Gentleman, than by a Peer of Parliament.
As to their famed Association, I cannot refrain
from rejoicing at this attempt to excite the ap-
prehension of another contest ; and ail their ma-
noeuvres gives a strength anti consolidation to our
own interest. The tendency of this Association
is certainly unconstitutional, although it is drawn
up ill langiurge sufficiently cautious to escape
the law. My friends have met at different places
in this and the adjoining county, and are all
anxious for another contest to sign ytrur names
to a bond for future support I do not ask : I
shall put my Parliamentary conduct be:ore you
at the approach of another dissolution. It reallystp-
pears to me that those %rho are desirous of binding
people to signatures and parchments, are fearful
lest they should lose the test friends they -already
possess by future misbehaviour. flowerer, one
object of this is, at all events, to, deprive men of
the advantage of experience to come, with regard
to men and measures. From the advertisements.
of our opponent's Committee,. and some allosian
even made in his last address, he wishes to per-,
'made his supporters that the Whole failure of the
contest.was owing to some persons not being per.
Mitted to vote, as they were not assessed to the Land
Tax ; I shall defend your franchises, and shall ne-
ver consent to receive votes not legally entitled to
exercise an elective franchise, as such a proceed-
iug is depreciating your rights and freeholds ; all
these people will be enabled to vote at another
election : the whole amount newly assessed did
inn exceed 200, and I can assure you, Gentlenen,
we had a decided majority of that bomber; and
can also assure you, if the poll had continued oped
three days more, we should have polled nearly..

1;500 votes.. 'Though My ordorlent Said he should
have been content with a majority of 100; 1
ihoUrd .say, the brger the Majority, the better
s'alisfit'd should I be. Our opponent triumphed
much noon a.show of hands : this was a manoeuvre
at an el.ction I was their unacquainted with, and,
'its re. utility I have still to learn. When the
numbers failed him, he exclaimed the show of
hands was in his favour ; svt had the votes, so we
will lease him to triumph in undisputed possession
of his non-vnting audience. The hands of the in-
habitants of the Fell-side, which is now dignified
by another •name, were not sufficient, but
he must allude to Cumberland, Where a similar
organized system was recommended to make
Mr. Lowther believe that the sense of the county
was against him. Mr. Lowther saw thiongh
this scheme, and so his opponents may list in the
hopes of a contest at a future election. It has
afforded me infinite pleasure lately to visit (hire-
ent parts of Cumberland, and 1 ant' confident the
political feeling is strongly with us. Mr. Lowther
stands upon a rock immoveable by the assaults of
the blue party : the attempts to remove him spew-
; ed the real character ot our opponents, and how
little their practice conforms to their occasional
professions. Except from the inconvenience that
it occasioned my fiends, I rather rejoice that
this contest has taken place : it has given
the an opportunity of knowing. the County more
thoroughly, and familiarizing myself with the
people.; it unveiled my enemies, and has
tatieht me how to judge nod discriminate
between the real sentiments of
_the Freeholders.
contrasted with the clamour of a Modell mob, and
the anonymous letter-writers in the weekly papers.
Faith has been found that I did not more Ire-
queotly address the Freeholders in public ; but as
I was so engaged upon all sides at the late Elec-
tion, to be introduced to some of our out-voters,
and to protect some of our old friends in the
booths, I was too much fatigued to comment upon
many subjects that occulted. Our opponent had
the talk for three months, hut we comforted our•
selves with having the substance instead of the
shadow : his speaking, like many other things,
turned in our favour; for his rhapsodies, and the
names which he called our friends, so fisgnsted
the douhttid, that it rendered our cause the most
essential set vice. I shall not trespass longer on
your patience, but return my most heartfelt and
grateful acknoWledgements to the Freeholders
who honoured me with their support.
4I cannot
help adding that it was a satisfaction more than
words can convey, and I shall be pardoned for
citing this as an additional reason, that every
place whet e my family possessed any property or
influence, from the attachment of the inhabitants,
they were attacked by a secret combination which
has now grown into an advertised association.
We have this consolation, that it has shewn the
unavailitig efforts of our opponents, and the un-
popularity of their political opinions.
Colonel LowTtlea returned thanks for the ho-
nour so laree and respectable a isteetiog had done
him in drinking his health. It gave him great
pleasure in Meeting them on this (lay, and he could
not retrain front thanking them from.his heart for
the liberal and cordial support be had experienced
front them during the late contest. Their kind-
ness he should nevi( forget. Their principles were
his, and the whole country witnessed the glorious
triton,,h of those principles with aulmiration.
Lord LowTnea, upon giving the health of
Lord F. Bentinck, said—l shall propirse. a toast
that I am sure will be agreeable to the company ;
I give my gallant friend, Lord Frederick Ben-
thick, who being on a visit to us at Lowther, and
having felt a warm interest in your cause, he ac-
cepted your invitation. Lord Frederick has dis-
tinguished himself. as a soldier in different parts of
the globe.—lle took an active part in the West-
minster Election towards the close, and was
Chairman at Sir Murray Maxwell's dinner ; and,
if he had not been engaged in his owu election,
and had undertaken that cause at a more early pe-
riod, a very different result would have ensued ; for
so it is in human nature, that unless the principals
skew activity, it is not followed by the partizans in
all the different departments. If he had under-
taken it sooner, it would have been conducted with
the same ability with which he conducts his regi-
ment. Out friends were formerly embarked in the
same cause. The Bentiiicks-and. the Lowthe:s
were amongst the warmest and most zealous sup-
porters of King William the Third, in opposition
to the Popish tyranny of James the Second, and
greatly contributed to the beautiful !.Brie of out
present Caustitaion. Our families were opposed
to each other in a contest in Cumberland : this was
carried on %fit!) animation and jealousy, but it was
a contest of a different nature front the present ;
and though they differed in some points, yet all
their differences were merged in the same end,—
to promote the welfare of the County. He (Lord
L.) had the good fortune to be intimate with him,
and he hoped his friendship might long continue.
Lord F. BaNTINCK, in returning thanks, said—
After returning thanks for the honour you have
done me, I must observe, that if the long and
constant friendship with which I have been hos
uoured by the Noble house of Lowther were not
a sufficient motise fur my being au earnest well-
wlsher to their cause, the dangerous doctrines
which I have heard emanate from the Candidate
opposed to them would base induced me to have
taken the strongest part against him ; but when
that Candidate was supported by the Noble Lord
the Hereditary High Sheriff, I must own, that
a fact occurred to me, affecting the first public
act of the Noble Lord's life, within m.y recol-
leCtion,---which was that of aiding the escape of an
afterwards self-convicted traitor and rebel. Now,
Gentlemen, I am next of opinion, that into such
hands it is not safe to commit the representation
of the County. Gentlemen, I conceive the high
honour of representating a County to be open to
all those whose property- and ialuence eittitsle
them to such a claim; but in aspiring to such a
distinction, nobody has a right to exceed the li-
mits which honour and liberality prescribe. In
the late election, the contrary, I believe, was the
case. Gentlemen, as the Noble Lord (LoWther)
has observed, a severe contest was carried on be-
tween my family anti his, for the neighbouring
county ; but no attempt was made to excite or
exasperate the loWer against the higher orders,
nor to vilify private character under the pretext of
public good. ' to the present instance, they have,

!'altertfprell to attack the deiracter br a 4Nume.mA
who, I may say, is perfectly unassailable';
character is teplete with honour, as it is free from
rerroach.Gent lemere, when the Elect ors for this
Colony retneinher the disgraceful settles that have
occurred, and t he mischief, not yet subsided (Hear),
whirl) has been produced by the language held on
the other side, 1 do not doubt that, on a future
occasion, they will oppose as successfully as at
present any person professing those principles.—
And now, Gentlemen, 1 beg leave to propose
" The Noble Muse of Lowther, and prosperity
to'the County of Westmorland."
Loan LowTHER, on profit:sits: the health of
the Right Hon. Ueorge Canning; said, with the
permission of the President; he would give is toast,
which he hoped would be a standing one amongst
his friends its this County. It was unnecessary
to remind the company, that supported by the
npulent and enlightened freemen who defeated
our late opponent at Liverpool, (for that seemed
to he the place selected where the new theories
of reform were to he discussed between the heads
,of the diflerent parties, and which ended in the
discontfitore of the advocates of reform,)
frankly avow 1 shall oppose all inroads and inno-
vations ; they are dangerous, and when you once
begin to make alterations uo one can say where
they gill stop. I see no benefits to be -deolved
froth new-modelling the Constitution; rt sting as
it does at present, it is toiequate to express the
sense of the nation, and counteract the adoption
of any measure, either oppressive, or against the
liberty of the subject. Proofs of this have been
frequently manifested, as it is a fact that Ministers
have rarely gone through a Session of Parliament
without Ischia in a minority; this is a sufficient ar-
gument of itself against the necessity of a reform.
As to the immediate question of reform, I think the
proposers for Annual Parliaments, and Universal
Stltrea ge,diriding the kingdom-in arithmetical pro-
portions ; nay, still further, the sellers:es of those
who affect moderate reform, would only tend to
general confusion, rather than to the increase
of the prosperity and happiness of this kingdom.
Instead of reform, they, for the most part, mean
other things; and even when their intentions are
not had, the consequences are ctittally to be
dreaded. I admire the eloquence of Mr. Canning,
and the boldness with which he comes forward
to ridicule the visionary schemes, and all the fool-
eries, and duperies, and absurdities of these pro-
positions. This country possesses more rational
liberty, More glory, more happiness, more pros-
perity, than history can furnish at any former
period ; and 1 am confident all attempts to under-
mine it will be frustrated by the good sense of
the country.
Colonel LowTnErt, in proposng the follow-
ing toast, said—Gentlemen, the Chairman has
given me permission to propose a toast to yon,
The Gentleman whom I 'am about to propose
is not now in office, but I hope the country
will ton long he deprived of his services :—" The
Right lion. William Peel, Member for Oxford."
He was selected, Gentlemen, by the University
of Oxford, for his ability and talent its defending
the Protestant Establishineot. In giving that
Member's health, as it is connected with a great
political question, 1 trust I may be indulged in
making one or two observations. Gentlemen, it is
the fashion to accuse those of a want of liberality
who oppose the Catholics ; but it is not a ques-
tion of toleration, it is a question of admitting
them to political power. They possess liberty of
person and of conscience ; but they demand poli-
tical power. In my opinion, a man who votes
for granting them political power gives his voice
for sweeping away all the acts passed during and
since the reign of King William for the protection
of the Protestant Church. lam sorry to seethe
modern orators make so light of these guards.
But there is one thing, Gentlemen, I have a con-
solation its seeing that its supporters saw the un-
popularity of the measure, and they had the pre-
caution not to thing it forward the last Session,
aware they should so soon have to answer fur it
before their constituents. I hope and trust the
Freeholdeis of Westmorland will feel a common
interest, and exert their utmost power in repelling
the services of any one who should start upon
ptinciplesof Catholic Emancipation.

The following toaits were then given

Sie Philip Musgrave, Bart. (who returned thanks in a neat
and appropriate speech.)—The Pilot that weathered the
Storrn.—Lord Liverpool, and the Membtrs of the present
Administration—(with three times three.)—May the Friends
of Reform hist reform themselves.

Many loyal and patriotic toasts and senti!nents
were given, and the company were highly en-
tertained with appropriate songs. Upon the
Nvhole, a more convincing proof of the loyalty,
patriotism, and devotedness to the good cause,
could not be evinced by any body of Gentlemen
assembled upon such an occasion.

DYALL, OF SPA FiELDS NoTottleTY.--Yesterday
John Dyall, of Spa Fields notoriety, was brought
op to Hatton-garden Office, on a night charge,
for assaulting Mr. Joseph Cole, landlord of the
George public-house, Little Saffron-hill, and
creating a disturbance in his house, tending to a
breach of the peace. There was a second charge
against him by Davis, a constable, for breaking
the door of the watch-house, its which he was
confined, and doing other damage to the inner
part of the same. it appear, that, about .10
o'clock the preceding night, the prisoner came to
the above named public-house, and teeing in a
state of intoxication, he disturbed the harmony
of the company, on which account the landlord
found it necessary to interfere, and, in attempting
to turn him out, the assault was committed, and
he was forcibly taken to 'the watch-house, where
his conduct was. equally riotous. On the pri-
soner's being asked what lie had to say for him-
self, he said his name was John Dyall, a weaver,
residing in Spitalfields; that he had a wife aml
six children depending on him for support, and
that he was a very poor man ; but still Lie was a
public character, and much respected among his
friends ; that business brought him to the West
end of the town yesterday, where lie met with
several geudemen and friends, from whom he re-
ceived sonic drink. Not being much/accustomed
to drink, it took effect on him, and lie was ex-
tremely sorry for his misconduct, of which he had
not the smallest recollection ; and if he were for-
given this time, he would take care and mind his
work, and never get drunk again. From his
contrition, the prisoner was discharged.
