HOP INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER, AUG. 31.—Hop-picking commence
partially in this district on Monday last, and next
week it will be general throughout the whole planta-
tion ' • and from the very favourable reports received
on Saturday and this morning, there is no doubt but
that the produce will be abundant, arid the sample ex-
cellent. The duty has been gradually rising forsome
time past, and bets are made at 18,0001. to 19,0001.
There is scarcely any thing doing in the market. No
hops have been weighed since our last report.—Wor-
trader Journal.

MAIDSTONE, AUG. 30.—We understand that many
of our extensive planters commence picking their hops
this day, which is full ten days earlier than the ave-
rage period, owing to the fine and propitious summer
that we have had. With some very few exceptions,
a more beautiful crop as to quantity and quality has
not presented itself of late; the poles are not so hea-
vily laden with bine as in some years, but the fruit
on them is thick and richer in proportion; and as our
agricultural neighbours are highly extolled for their
excellent mode of cultivation, we trust they will equally
excel in their picking, curing, and•packing ; their com-
modity will then give but little more for their Wors to
do than to present their samples in order to supply
the extensive demands that may be expected, on ac-
count of the almost generally good quality of this
year's growth, and the very low state of all stocks on
hand.—Maidstone Journal.

POST OFFICE NOTICE.—The following notice has
been put up at the Post-office :—" A bag will be made
up for New York from this office, to go by steamer.
Letters will be in time if posted on Friday next."

Two LIVES LOST.—At a very early hour ou Mon-
day morning two gentlemen left London for the purpose
of proceeding to Woolwich to witness the departure of
her Majesty for Scotland ; but, melancholy to relate, in
passing through the Pool the nose of the boat struck
against a barge, near the entrance of the London Docks,
and in an instant went down. Two men in a collier wit-
nessed the occurrence, and instantly got into a boat and
rowed to the spot, but were too late to render any assist-
ance. Their names were Lloyd and Freemantle, the
former was in his 26th year, and was on the point of mar-
riage with a daughter of a wealthy merchant in the City.
The bodies have not yet been thund. Mr. Freemantle
was 30 years of age, and had a large scow in the palm of
his hand.

TUE POST-OFFICE.—The London district carriers
have addressed a memorial to the Right Hon. the Lords
Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, begging their
Lordships' attention to a statement of grievances, and
the painful situation in which they are placed, in conse-
quence of the inadequate remuneration received by them,
when compared with their arduous and fatiguing duty.
There are, it appears, 674 twopenny post letter-carriers,
out of which 80 only, of the seniors, receive a salary of
255. a week, and the remaining 594 each 20s. per week
—an amount fixed 28 years ago, when the duty required
was not more than one-third of the duty incumbent on
each, and discharged by each, at the present time. The
London district letter-carriers have lately been charged
with the delivery of all ship letters, and all foreign and
inland letters, which arrive by coach and railroad at all
times in the day, after the General Post-office delivery
has commenced ; which, with the increased and increas-
ing labour caused by the adoption of the penny postage,
requires the services of these letter-earriers 14 or 15
hours every day. The petition has been signed by a
large number of bankers, merchants, and traders in
London.

The late rains have. done immense damage in the
neighbourhood of St. James's Park ; one of the drains
in the Green Park having blown up with a loud explo-
sion, and overflowing the road to the extent of three or
four feet. The lower part of Buckingham Palace has
been inundated • and the residences of the King of Ha-
nover, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Duke of Sutherland,
and the Duchess of Kent, have been seriously injured.
At Clarence House, the water at one time rose to up-
wards of six feet, and the domestics had a narrow escape
with their lives.

A SWISS SHAM FIGHT TURNED
INTO A REAL BATTLE.

We find the following almost incredible statement
in the Commerce :—" One of our subscribers; an
Officer at the camp of Thoune, has transmittei to us
the following details of a military fete, begun happily
enough, but which terminated in a tragical manner :
" Camp of Thoune, Aug. 25.
" For the last fortnight a camp of 4,500 men has
.been formed in the plain of Thoune, a small town in
the canton of Berne, under the command of Colonel
Rillietreonstant. formerly in the Grand Army. There
are eight battalions of infantry, and four companies of
carbineers, artillery, and cavalry of the several can-
tons. On Sunday last the Federal' Diet, now assem-
bled at Berne, passed in review this body of troops, in
presence • of several foreign officers, particularly the
Due de Raguse. An immense crowd *as present at
this review, which took place in splendid weather,
at the foot of the majestic mountains of Stockhorn.
Yesterday a mock fight took place. The passage of
the river Aar was effected by means of a flying
bridge, and then the troops divided into two bodies,
and fought in the open ground. One body fell back
to the foot of Mount Chasseral, the other turned
its, position by the passage of the Wiesen,
and, by a sudden attack, completely routed
it, and pursued it to the village of Grosse-
Naar. Mere, unfortunately, the defence was no
longer a mock one. The character of the Swiss,
who would be rather killed than retreat, gained the
mastery, and a dreadful conr.bat ensued. Not less
than GO men are wounded, and eight killed by the
sword only. A horseman, who, from being unable
to bold his horse, had broken into a square, gave the
signal of this disaster, which, it is to be hoped, will
be followed by no other unpleasant circumstances.
The camp is to be immediately broken up,. though it
was to have lasted a month."

FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER.
(From the Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.)
This month being termed by modistes, "la morte
saison," there is no particular novelty in aiticles of
toilette ; the warmth of the weather during sho lsst
month has made the demand for light articles of ch'Se3
very general ; embroidered organdys, mousseline
gazes, bareges bayaderes, foulards diaphanes, eoliennes
balsorines of silk, &c. &c. Sleeves 11azarin, corns
posed entirely of rows of black lace, put on one above
the other from the wrist to the elbow, form one of
the accessories of dress very likely to be continued
during the winter, as well as the sleeve Diane de
Poitiers, also of black filet. Peignoirs of organdy,
worked with lilac or blue braid, are novel and pretty ;
they are with pelerines to correspond, and the skirt
closes at the side with silk buttons. Muslin dresses
are embroidered on the tucks as well as between them.
Bonnets continue to he worn inclining over the face ;
those of tulle with wreath of lilies of the valley, and
bouquet of the same flower inside, are among the
prettiest.
Camails continue in general favour ; are seen in
every variety of material ; black lace ones have been
ornamented with bouillons of black satin, and those
formed of rows of white lace have ruches of pink
ribbon dividing the lace. Mantelets Leine de Chypre,
manchettes Louis XIV., Mazarin collars, those a la
chevaliere, cannezous, with inlets, embroidery, and
small folds, to wear with skirts of silk, and fichus
paysannes, are all fashionable. Lace rather increases
than diminishes in favour. Camails are preparing
for the autumn of gros de Naples and satin, of a new
and elegant style; it is thought they will be lined
with shswy colours; they are to have small square
collars, forming only one piece, with the revers of the
front decousses en bavasoises ; this collar and revers
to be ornamented by rich embroidery in Arabic de-
signs; the arm-holes, also encircled by embroidery.
Caps without crowns, and those with lappets raised
up at the side by a pin with gold or coral head, are
fashionable, but that a la Vennoise is most admired
for neglige ; it is composed of one piece of very clear
muslin, with bavolet; the papillons are very narrow,
and turned back over the forehead, then enlarging
round off very low at the ears, en rosace.
(From the World of I'm/lion)
Head-dresses.—Our young nobility still wear little
or no ornament on their heads; flowers continue to
be much worn, but we see, also, a great many deco-
rated with white or black lace, relieved at the sides
with very small scarlet flowers falling low on each
side. A very elegant style of coiffure is that of a
lappet or veil thrown partly over the head, and raised
on one side with a beautiful full-blown rose, or
camelia au eceur blanc. The hair is still being worn
'in full ringlets on each side, the back part tastefully
arranged in plaits caught with a splendid Josephine
combe, a tulle scarf or veil being passed through the
loops at the back, forming a very graceful appendage
to the appearance of the head. -
Bonnets.--The extreme heat of the weather render-
ing it necessary to shade the face as much as.possible,
have induced our elegantss to adopt the fashion of
wearing their bonnets as much over the countermove
as can 'be consistently worn so as to be becoming.
Some of the fancy open-work straw bonnets are ren-
dered very becoming by being lined with a pretty colour,
such as cherry-Colour, pink, or blue, either in a silk or
a lighter material, according to the taste of the wearer ;
they are mostly decorated with wreaths or bouquets of
fancy field-flowers. The black and white lace trans-
prent bonnets are also much in vogue ; they are ex-
tremely light and pretty when trimmed with bouquets
of lilac and black hearts-ease' white or crimson pop-
pies, and light branches of the barberry bush, forming
a hunch placed at the side, with two long ends of
ribbon streaming from it. The hair being worn in
full ringlets on each side with this style of bonnet,
render flowers almost unnecessary in the interior.
Dresses.—We have been favoured with a sight of a
most distinguished kind of dress, which has just been
designed for a fair and Noble Duchess, being a dress
or robe of Nankin des Indes, embroidered in soutache
of sky-blue silk. The sleeves, poignets ; cape, skirt,
and corsage, all ornamented in the same manner, the
blue design forming a great relief to the Nankin
ground. Another dress also claimed our attention of
a totally different character, being a robe of black
tulle, the corsage half high, and long sleeves, demi
large ; the under dress of a rich peach-coloured gros
de Naples, with short sleeves, the jupe or skirt
trimmed with broad flounces of lace.

DIVING BELLS FOR OUR MEN OF \VAR.—COM-
mander Henry Downes, R.N., the Hon. Director of the
United Service Institution, has suggested a plan which,
in cases of need, he thinks may be found of use. He re-
commends that in line-of-battle ships, .and in the larger
frigates, one of the tanks for water should be so con-
structed as to do, if required, double duty (viz., of tank
and diving-bell ; such to be stowed at the mouth of the
hatchway, and the first one to be emptied); he suggests,
that instruction in the use of the diving-bell be given to
the officers and men who are in training on board the
Excellent. Little need be said as to the advantages of
having ready at hand, and at such trifling expense as
it is presumed such a contrivance would incur, for most
naval men will, on reading this, be• able to recollect
positions in which they have been .placed where such an
instrument might hare proved not only useful,_ but per-
haps even to the saving of their ship. One instance may
be adduced wherein a trial has already been made ait U
a ship's tank, and most successfully too, under the skilful
and persevering exertions of Captain Dickinson, R.N.,
in recovering the treasure wrecked in the Thetis frigate.
CRICKET.—The match between Sussex (with Ful-
ler Pilch) and All England, terminated yesterday (Wed-
nesday) in favour of Sussex by six runs. A different re-
sult was fully expected at the close of Tuesday's play,
when England had five of their best wickets to get only
03 runs ; and several bets of 2 and 3 to 1 were made in
their favour. Dean commenced the bowling yesterday
morning, and Mr. A. Mynn scored a four, another four
was obtained, and a wide ball, and no wicket down.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Alynn was neatly Caught off' the
point by Hawkins, amid , Barker filled the vacant place.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN A HOUSE OF ILL-FAME.—
On Wednesday an inquest, commenced on Tuesday, was
coutinued before Mr. Higgs, at the :Feathers, Dean-
street, Westminster, on the body of Mary Apo Trim-
mell, aged 50. From the evidence it appeared that on
Monday last the deceased quitted the service of Mr.
Davies, of Lower Crown-street, Westminster, and went
with John Wells, a private in the Scots Fusilier Guards,
to No. 5, in the Almonry. At about ten o'clock a woman
in care of the house said she heard a heavy fall on -the
stairs leading from the room into which deceased had
gone, and upon going to the place saw her lying insen-
sible and bleeding on the landing. The soldier was then
gone. Deceased died in half an hour. Several of de-
ceased'a friends said that they had reason to think she
had been robbed, and that the wound on the head, from
which her death arose, was the result of being thrown
down stairs. She left her master's at four o'clock in the
afternoon with 15s. in her pocket; and when found had
but fourpence. A parasol, a blue spotted handkerchief,
and a brooch were clso missing. 'the daughter-in-law

of deceased went to the soldier the next morning and
asked him for the brooch, when he denied all knowledge
of it, but upon being told by a female named Spanswiek
that it was useless to deny it, as he had himself offered
it to her, he said deceased had given it to him. Deceased
had been heard to say, when talking of two soldiers who
were paying their addresses to her, that she was surer
one of them "would do 'iv her some way or other."
After hearing further evidence last evening, the jury re-
tnrned a verdict, " That the deceased died from the

effects of a.broken neck in a brothel, kit, in what manner
there was no evidence to show."

The Batavier steam-Aip, from Rotterdam, landed
at St. Katherine's wharf on Wednesday, 13 cows,
admitted under the new tariff, not for slaughter, the
whole of them being in calf, but for breeding purposes.

above stated. There was not the slightest ground for
such a charge.
The prisoner, in defence, merely stated that he had
received a wound in the head, and did not know half
his time what he was doing. Such must have been
the case when he accosted Mr. Webb in the manner
stated.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—We not long ago called the atten-
tion of our readers to an indictment then pending
against the Rev. W. Lucy, a Dissenting minister
residing at Bristol, whom the Tories sought to
injure in reputation, as well as personally to
annoy, by taking advantage of an ambiguity in
the construction that has been put on certain
parts of the-Reform and Registration Acts. The
case to which we allude came on for trial the
other day at the Bristol Assizes, and the result
fully bears us out in the opinion we formerly
expressed, that the object of the prosecution was
purely political, and that the whole affair was
got up by the Tories in the hope of weak-
ening the influence of the • Dissenters, and
thus striking a blow at the Liberal cause, which
owes so much of its success in Bristol to the body
alluded to. The facts of the case are already
known, and it is therefore unnecessary to do
more than briefly refer to them. The Rev. Wm.
Lucy had changed his house since the last regis-
tration; but he still possessed a qualification to
vote, and when asked if he had the same qualifi-
cation as before, he replied that he had.—an an-
swer which he was in conscience bound to return,
for his qualification continued the same, though it
arose from the occupation of different premises.
A man who makes five hundred pounds by leav-
ing
his money at interest one year, and realises the
like profit by speculating with his capital in the
next year, has assuredly the same income during
both periols ; and an elector who holds a lease
which entitles him to vote, and exchanges it for
another which confers on him a similar privilege,
does not vary his qualification by a mere change
of residence. Whatever may have been the in-
tention of the Legislature, or the construction of
those to whom the interpretation of the law is
entrusted, with reference to the point in dis-
pute, it is quite certain that the Rev. William
Lucy was morally bound to give the answer he
did to the question that was put to him; for
it came nut upon the trial that, being him-
self doubtful as to the meaning of the
Act, he had taken the precaution to con-
isult those most competent to declare its pur-
port, and he was advised by them that his qualifi-
cation was the same after as it had been before
his change of residence. If he had said it was
not, he would have done wrong ; for the best
opinion he was able to get pronounced his quali-
fication to be unchanged, and he therefore very
properly replied that it was, when a question on
the point was put to him. It is worthy of re-
mark that the name of the real prosecutor was
pertinaciously withheld, and the indictment was
abandoned at a very early stage, though the de-
fendant's counsel expressed his readiness to waive
all technical objections, and to trust to the facts
alone for th© complete vindication of the charac-
ter of his client. This course was, however, not
agreeable to the other side, and the indictment
was allowed to fall to the ground from a defect
in the anonymous prosecutor's evidence.
STAN DARD.—The accounts from Man-
chester and the towns in its immediate vicinity
record but little, if any, improvement since our
last. At Glossop and Mottram fresh attempts
have been made to turn out the various bodies of
operatives who had returned to their work, and
various outrages of the grossest description
appear to have been perpetrated: indeed so long
as the quietly disposed are left without
protection, and meddling incendiaries from
other districts are allowed to collect meet-
ings with impunity, there is no predict-
ic, how long the evil may last. It appears
that the hands of Mr. Cooper's factory, in
the neighbourhood of Glossop, have, for want of
proper protection, been not only forced to aban-
don their work, but have been shamefully mal-
treated into the bargain. Those belonging to the
mill of Mr. Shepley, in that neighbourhood,
were attacked by the same parties, but that gen-
tleman having armed his workpeople,, the as-
sailants
were, with the assistance of a body of
special constables, driven off, four of the ring-
leaders having been captured. Mr. Cooper and
his two sons, appear, however, to have been at-
tacked on their return from giving their deposi-
tions, and one of them so barbarously beaten
as to render his recovery doubtful. It is
lamentable to find that, with so powerful a force,
civil and military, as is now collected in that
neighbourhood, the honest and well-disposed
workman cannot resume his employment without
risk of his life. At Ashton only one mill is at
work. One of the most notorious of the ring-
leaders in several of the late affrays, a fellow
of the name of Phillips, has been appre-
hended, and the police, devoting their chief
attention to leading delinquents, are busily
engaged in looking after other parties who
have made themselves most prominent
iu the late outrages. A complete system
of night plunder had been organised in the
neighbourhood of Stockport. This is a lament-
able state of thing,-s, and would lead to the in-
ference, that notwithstanding all that has been
urged on the subject, nothing like an adequate
protection is afforded to those well-disposed men
who have returned to their duty. In both the
cases above referred to had proper protection
been given, much outrage and personal injury
would have been prevented. At the rate at
which the Magistrates in the disturbed districts
appear to be going on, the gaols will soon be
crowded with prisoners without any sensible effect
having hr:en produced on the body at large.

Mr. HALL said it was a case for a jury, and fully
committed the prisoner to take his trial at the next
Old Bailey serrions.
MARYLEBONE.

Wednesday, Edward Lowrie, a cab-driver, badge
No. 5,577, was brought up in custody and placed at
the bar before Mr. Rawlinson, charged with having
assaulted Inspector Black, police-sergeant Burke, and
constable Berry, all of the D division, and a gentle-
man named 011ivier, residing in New Bond-street, the
latter of whom had one of his fingers nearly bitten off
by the prisoner.
Berry, whose forehead was strapped up with ad-
hesive plaster, stated, that on the previous evening,
between eight and nine o'clock, as he was on duty in
Baker-street, near Madame Tussaud's exhibition, he
observed the prisoner sitting fast asleep in his cab, and
endeavoured to arouse him, but without effect. In-
spectm Black and Sergeant Burke, were at the time
passing along, when the former made a similarly
fruitless attempt, and desired witness to get into
the cab and drive to the station-home ; he accord-
ingly took his seat, with the view of complying
with the order given, when the prisoner, who had
been awoke by the stentorian lungs of a brother
whip, suddenly jumped out of the vehicle, and com-
menced a furious attack upon the inspector and sergeant
alluded to, whom he beat and kicked with all his
might. He (witness) alighted to afford assistance,
leaving the horse and cab in the care of another per-
son, and he received on the head some blows from the
prisoner, who was flourishing about a large stick. He
bled very much, and as soon as he was able had the
wound which had been inflicted upon him dressed. He
(prisoner) was ultimately overpowered and locked up.
Inspector Black, who had evidently been very se-
riously injured, deposed that the prisoner immediately
on getting out of the cab gave him a tremendous blow,
which knocked him with great force against some iron
railings. He shortly afterwards heard Sergeant Burke
cry out, " Oh God, he's biting my leg," and on get-
ting up to assist the sergeant, the prisoner knocked
him (witness) down and kicked him violently on the
face. He seemed completely mad, and with his metal
badge, which he had taken from his neck, kept
striking all who came within his reach. The Inspec-
tor concluded by stating that the medical gentleman
who attended him said, that if he had been kicked a
little lower down towards .the ear, his jaw would un-
doubtedly have been broken.
Sergeant Burke (who is so lame from the kicks and
blows he had received as to be unable to walk without
some difficulty) gave evidence which went to establish
acts of the most ruffianly violence committed upon
him by the prisoner.
Mr. 011ivier, the gentleman previously alluded to,
said that seeing the attack made upon the police, he
went up and laid hold of the prisoner, who got him
down upon the pavement and nearly bit off one of his
fingers. He was also kicked and much injured by
blows. A more violent and desperate man than the
prisonei he never beheld.
In reply to the charge, the prisoner said that a
gentleman had given him some brandy, and he had
no recollection of having assaulted any one. He had
a wife and family, and he hoped the Magistrate would
be as lenient as possible.
Mr. RAWLINSON told him that he had conducted
himself in so shameful a manner as to call for severe
punishment, and for the assault upon Mr. 011ivier
fined him 50s. ; in default of payment two months'
imprisonment. He was also sentenced to be impri-
soned for one month for his attack upon the police,
the Magistrate at the same time remarking, that he
wished he could punish him for the said offence to a
gfeater extent, but from a strange inequality in the
law he was unable, to do so.
The prisoner was then locked up.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT—York,-August 30.
(Before Mr. Justice MAux.E.)

Benjamin Bapty was indicted for cutting and
wounding Joseph Carlton, at Leeds, on the 11th of
July last, with intent to do him some grievous bodily
harm.

Mr. Granger and Mr. Wharton for the prosecution.
The prisoner was not defended by Counsel.
It appeared the prisoner was in a public-house at
Leeds, in company with a woman whom he repre-
sented as his wife. The prosecutor and one John
Utley were there also. Utley took up the pint which
had been placed on the table by the landlord, and was
going to drink, when the prisoner said the pint was
his. Utley put it down, and said in that case he did
not want to drink it. The prisoner seemed to think
Utley meant this as an affront, and some high words
took place between the parties. Soon after the prose-
cutor left the house and was standing on the footpath,
opposite the door, when the prisoner came out, and
seeing him there, immediately attacked him. They
had a short struggle, in the course of which the pro-
secutor found himself wounded. He had received a
wound in the thigh. The effusion of blood was very
great, and he was for some time in peril of his life.
The prisoner alleged in his defence that Carlton
and Utley had treated him very badly, and attacked
him in leaving the house.

The Jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced
to be imprisoned for twelve months.
John Hellawell, William Marsden, and Peter Fox,
were indicted for a robbery from the person of Wil-
liam Smith.

Sir G. Lewin and Mr. Meredith for the prosecu-
tion, Mr. Wilkins for Marsden, and Mr. Pickering for
Hellawell.

LAW IYTELLIGENCE.
BANKRUPTCY COURT, Sept. 1.
IN RE MESSRS. WHITE AND LAMBERT.
Under the fiat which had been already frequently
before the Court, a point was raised on the part of
Messrs. Morley and Co., extensive ship-arokers and
commission agents, with respect to their right, to
prove against the separate estate of Lambert, or against
that of the partnership.
It appeared the bankrupts had carried on business
as whartingers and warehousekeepers, and thata quan-
tity of goods, belonging to Messrs. Morley, had been
consigned to their care, and a verdict subsequently
given against them in favour of Messrs. Morley, for
some alleged damage the goods had suffered whilst
at their wharf. It was contended that previous to the
date of this verdict the partnership had been dissolved.
—The proof was allowed against the joint estate.
Debts to the amount of nearly 7,0001. were proved
at this sitting, in SUMS varying from-1,0001. to 101.

It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor,
that he was walking in the neighbourhood of Brig-
house with a young woman, to whom he was paying
his addresses, when they met a number of persons,
among whom were the prisoners at the bar. The
prisoners stopped and asked him for some money to
get beer. He refused to give them any, upon which
Fox came up; saying, "I'll see if he won't
pay," and seizing hold of his coat, nearly
tore the skirt off. Hellawell said they
should not do that, but they all continued' to
press him for some money, and they then said
they would throw him into the canal if he did
not pay. They marched him down to the bridge,
and partly threw him over the rail. He clung to it,
however, and one of the party observed that they
should not throw him over there as he would fall in
the towing path. They took him a little further, and
attempted to throw him over again, several of them
crying out, " Over with him, over with him." He at
last said he would give them some money if they
would allow him to come back. They pulled him
back over the rail, threw him on the ground, and took
six shillings from his pockets. In the scuffle his
watch-chain, which, however, was of no value, was
torn away. The active party, however, in taking his
money, was a person of the name of Kershaw, not
yet in custody.
It appeared on the cross-examination, that it is
usual for persons in that rank of life to levy a toll
called pitcher-money, hush-money, or, in some places,
the "bullying-groat," on young people caught court-
ing at late hours.
The counsel for the prisoner contended that it was
this pitcher-money which the prisoner had asked from
the prosecutor. That the pretended attempt to throw
him over the bridge was a jest, and that they had no
participation in the felony of Kershaw.
The Jury found them Not Guilty.

IN RE THOMAS AND-.TAMES WEST.
The bankrupts in this case had been extensive
mercers and drapers. The aggregate amount of debts
proved against the estate was 14,7501.
After the admission of a few proofs the choice of
assignees was proceeded with, when Messrs. Anderton
and Leigh were appointed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
BO W-STREE7.
The disgraceful system of extortion, so lately prac-
ticed by the men Fitzgerald and others, upon people
of the highest respectability, must be fresh in the
memory of all our readers ; and the facts which came
out upon the evidence at the examination of the pri-
soners at Bow-street and Marlborough-street, and
their subsequent trial at the Old Bailey, left little
doubt in the minds of the police and others conversant
with such matters, that the Fitzgeralds were not the
only people who had practised such a shameless and
disgraceful system of extortion.
This morning a well-dressed man. apparently about
3.5 years of age, who gave the name of Thomas Addy,
but whose real name is believed to be Robert Hyde
Eddy, was placed at the bar under the following cir-
cumstances :
Mr. Henry Bellamy Webb, of 31, Great Queen"
street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, stated that on Saturday,
the 20th ult., as he was proceeding along Hemming 8-
row, on his way home, he was met by the prisoner,
who accosted him with " A fine night, Sir" or some-
thing of that sort. Witness shortly replied that it
was. The prisoner made one or two other common-
place observations, to which witness, being not at all
desirous of his company, replied very briefly. At
length, on arriving at Castle-street, Leicester-square,
as the prisoner still kept close to him, witness turned
round to him, and said "I don't know what you mean,
I don't want anything to say to
you, why don't you
go away about your business ?" The prisoner made
no reply, and witness thought he was gone, but on
reaching New-street, Covent-garden, witness observed
the prisoner still at his heels. Witness took no notice
however, but pursued his way towards the Piazzas,
near Covent garden Market. When he arrived there
the prisoner cams alonpide of him, and accosted with
"D------ your eyes, what are you going to give me."
Witness asked him what he meant, when he said "D—
-you, if you. don't give me some money I'll charge you
with an unnatural offence ;" and a poldeman happen-
ing to come up at the time the prisoner gave witness
into cuitody, and he was taken to the station-house
where he remained till the Monday morning follow-
Oa Monday he was brought up before the
Magistrate, hut the prisoner, deterred no doubt by
the rigorous proceedings, which in the meantime had
commenced against some of his associates, did not
appear to prefer his charge. Witness was in conse-*
quence discharged without the case being entered
into. Witness then proceeded to the Old Bailey,
where the Grand Jury were sitting, and preferred an
indictment against the prisoner for feloniously as-
saulting
witness with intent to rob him, and the pel-
ner not appearing to answer the indictment, a war-
IllerSMajfE ued for his apprehension, and placed in the

TUNNELL.—A new station has been erected, and will be
opened in a few days, so as to afford facilities to the
public making their way from the north side of the river

and Greenwich.
INTERESTING TO LADIES.---Persons of delicate
complexion are susceptible of the influence of the atmos-
phere at this peculiar season ; and Ladies, whether fre-
quenting the crowded saloon, the close assembly, the
rural ride or drive, the summer promenade, or the
aquatic excursion, should invariably have recourse to
that invaluable discovery, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, which
is found to be the most gentle yet efficacious preparation
that science has discovered for the preservation of female
beauty and grace. Throughout season, time and climate,
this faithful auxiliary arrays the neck and arms in
radiant brilliancy, and perpetuates, the vivid bloom of
juvenile attraction.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)—Sir James Graham
left town on Saturday for the Isle of Wight. The
Right Hon. Baronet, however, returned on Monday
evening, and is now in daily attendance upon his impor-
tant official duties at the Home-office. It was generally
expected that the Home Secretary would have accom-
panied or joined her Majesty in Scotland, but we have
heard that it is now doubtful whether the Right Hon.
Baronet leaves London for some time to come.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

TlMES.—Allusion was made, a very short time
back, under this head, to the discouraging situation
of the various projects connected with steam naviga-
tion across the Atlantic, since when they appear to be
hastening at an accelerated pace towards final aban-
donment and ruin. The refitting, of the ominous
" ten-gun " brigs by the Admiralty is talked of, to
supply the place of the steam-vessels of the West In-
dia Packet Company ; the Great Western Steam-
ship Company, trading between Bristol and New
York, are stated publicly to be in such pecuniary
difficulty as to be compelled to bring the whole con•
cern to an early close ; and the North American Mail
Company, the only party now left to prosecute the
enterprise of steam communication with America, are
appealing to Government and to the trading interest
to afford them a more efficient support, without
which they must also throw up their contract, and
that rapid and safe mode of intercourse be finally re-
linquished.

It will be quite apparent from the previous :history
of the last-named company, that they must ;form the
chief dependence of the two countries in this respect,
and that if they cannot succeed none can. It is stated
to be composed of about 30 proprietors only, and to
differ from joint-stock concerns generally in confiding
the whole management to two individuals, Mr. G.
Burns, of Glasgow, and Mr. David M'lver, of Liver-
pool, who are the individuals recognised by Govern-
ment as the contractors. Though usually termed
"Cunard's line," after Mr. Cunard, of Halifax, that
gentleman is only one of the general proprietors. On
the 4th of July, 1840, they commenced the first
voyage of the contract service of carrying the American
mails, for which the Government was under agree-
ment to pay 60,0001. per annum, but within nine
months the managing partners made the mortifying
discovery that the undertaking was a losing one,
and that the whole capital they had em-
barked in it must be sacrificed unless they
could obtain some further assistance from Go-
vernment. On the representations they made,
a rehearing of the case was permitted, and
after a most rigid investigation into their
affairs, in the course of which it was proved, though
they carried a great number of passengers and light
cargo besides, that their receipts could not cover the
expenditure, an addition of 20,0001. a year was conse-
quently made to their allowance from the Govern-
ment. With this advantage, they were encouraged
to struggle on since that period with this undertaking,
but still find, with their large capital of 300,0001.,
and the intelligence and industry brought to bear on
its employment, that it returns no profit. These
statements are denied, it should be observed, from a
publication at Liverpool, apparently under the influ-
ence of the parties engaged in this undertaking, but
there is no reason for believing that it has given an
untrue or an exaggerated account of their situation,
which, if they did, would be easily exposed, and re-
act upon themselves, and hence it may be admitted
that the manner in which their appeal is to be dis-
posed of has become a public question.
After making this admission, however, the mode of
dealing with it is by no means rendered so clear by
the parties themselves as it ought to be in such a case.
They advert vaguely to possible attempts at competi-
tion with them, based upon the wreck of other under-
takings, and seek, perhaps too eagerly, to establish
what ought to be self-evident, after the experience
acquired under their own contract, that no under-
taking for steam conveyance across the Atlantic can
succeed, unless united with the service of the
Government in the transport of the mails. Any
department of the Government, to which in regular
course their appeal ought to be made in a direct
manner, would require some better guide, and
demand of the complainants not only an exposition
of the grievances under which they labour, but
some specific suggestions of such a remedy as
they themselves feel to be applicable to their situa-
tion. If the terms of their contract are still too
low, let them state, what ought to be a matter
of no difficulty after the long experience
they have gained, what terms they do require to work
the contract with that advantage to themselves to
which they are honourably entitled, and the question
would then speedily be brought to some issue. The
Government cannot, and the public will not, through
indolence and inattention to such matters generally,
do anything to keep off that rivalry which the North
American Mail Company seem to dread, and which,
if their position is a sound one, they ought as little to
apprehend as the Bank of England or the East India
Company the puny attempts of any petty trading
Corporation.
The contract with this Company has been im-
pugned on the ground that it is a monopoly, and bad
in principle, -and that the management of such an
undertaking should devolve upon the Government
itself, at whatever loss, as one means, among others,
of gradually creating an efficient steam naval force ;
but we should prefer leaving this in private hands
to those of the Admiralty or any other public de-
partment. The dangerous and laborious service in
which they are to be employed secures a supply of
vessels of the best class and upon the best principles ;
and therefore, leaving all other advantages out of the
question, we should be glad, not only to see the
North American Company secured in permanence
to the public service, but an attempt made to re-
organize on better principles, and under more prudent
Management, that West India Company of which the
ruin is pronounced to be all but certain. To return
to the old vicious system of the West India packets
and ten-gun brigs is a misfortune ; to recede from
the great project for a communication by steam with
America, so long successfully worked, and to the fu-
ture success of which the want of money is the only
impediment, is a national disgrace. Future improve-
ments in this navigation may render that profitable
hereafter which is not so at present ; but if the chain
is once broken, any attempts of that kind will be
without a motive.

However eligible the Southampton dock may be
for the landing of the East and West India mails,
the dissension which was exhihited between the di-
rectors and some of the shareholders at the half-
yearly meeting held to-day at the Company's offices
is, to say the least of it, discouraging to its complete
success. There appears to be that want of co-
operation and cordiality between the executive and
constituency which, if persevered in, cannot fail to
damage the undertaking in the public estimation,
since, while on the one hand captiousness is shown to
the objections which two or three of the shareholders
make to the proceedings or the manner in which the
business of the Company has been conducted, it can
scarcely be expected, on the other, that con-
cession will be made in order to secure that
unanimity on general matters which is at all times
essential to the well-being of any public under-
taking. According to the Report which was read to
the shareholders, there is every reason to believe
that the docks are in that state of forwardness
which will admit of their being opened at an
early period for the reception of vessels, and
hardly a doubt can exist, should the directors
be able to pacify those shareholders who are clamorous
against past proceedings, but that the undertaking will
ultimately gain a revenue of some consequence. The
introduction of the interest of the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam-packet Company is reckoned on as
increasing in public favour the pretensions these
docks have for support ; and as this is the case, it
seems to be fully imagined that the packet-station,
when once established at the port, will bring a vast
accession of other trade. The Report, on the whole,
was certainly considered satisfactory ; but the great
complaint alleged against the management of the Com-
pany is, that the expense of the construction of the
docks, as far as they have already gone, has doubled
the estimate, which was put in for the completion of
the whole undertaking. It was pointedly remarked
at this meeting, as well as at the Blackwall Railway
meeting yesterday, that it was much to be regretted
that some legislative enactment does not provide for
the levy of pains and penalties on engineers who fur-
nish such delusive statements.

GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND
RAILWAY COMPANY.

The thirteenth half-yearly meeting of this Com-
pany was held in their office in Northgate, in Dar-
lington, on Tuesday last, the 30th instant, G. H.
Wilkinson, Esq., in the chair.
The Report of the Directors was agreed to, recom-
mending a dividend of 11. ss. per share for the
half-year ending June 30, 1842, being after the rate
of 21 per cent. per annum. From the half-yearly
statement of account it appears the Company's re-
ceipts have been 33,5431. 10s. 6d., making with the
reserve fund of 4,2681. 13s. sd. the sum of 37,8121.
3s. 11d., and that the disbursements of the Company.
have been 21,0401. 13. 9d., leaving a balance available
for dividends 13,7721. 2s. 2d., out of which the Com-
pany will pay 1/. ss. per share, as stated above,
exclusive of the income tax. It ought to be men-
tioned that only three months' maintenance of way
is included in the disbursements, it having been
agreed, at a previous meeting of the Company, that
the expenses of maintaining the way for one year
from the opening should be debited to the capital
account.

The following is a portion of the Report :
" The Directors have to report that since the last
meeting of the Proprietors, the Royal Assent has been
given to an Act of Parliament, authorising the entire
abandonment of that portion of
.the Great North of
England Railway situated between Shincliffe West
House and Newcastle. The Company is thus relieved
from the very heavy responsibility of having to at-
tempt the execution of works of great cost and unusual
magnitude. The sanction of the Legislature has also
been obtained to the plan, already submitted to the
Proprietors, of forming a Railway to Newcastle, by
means of a Company on whose Shares a fixed divi-
dend of six per cent. is guaranteed for ten years by
the various Railway Companies interested in the mea-
sure. The shares in the new Company have been all
taken up, and the ground staked out, and in part
purchased.
" During the last half-year, almost the whole of the
Company's engagements for materials and contract
work have been discharged, and the contracts closed,
with the exception of two, which are expected to be
shortly settled. The only works of any consequence
remaining, are the bridges at Darlington Bank-top
and Haughton-lane, which will be commenced im-
mediately.
" The Directors observe with satisfaction, that in
coal, merchandise, lime, and fish, and in the locaA
traffic generally, there is a progressive increase; at
the same time, they cannot avoid the expression of
their disappointment, that the general revenue is below
what, judging from the experience of all other lines,
they conceived they were warranted in anticipating.
" In drawing a comparison with the receipts of last
half-year, it will be remembered that the first half of
the year is invariably less productive than the latter
half. The number of passengers conveyed during
the last six months has been—rfirst class, 14,833;
second class, 25,486 ; third class, 37,620 ; making in
all, 77,939."

with one to them from the Hon. Board, relative to
the stoppages to
be made from the Officers of the

to forward herewith a copy of the same, and shall
feel obliged by your causing it to be promulgated in
the Horse Brigade and several Battalion offices, for
the information and guidance of the parties concerned.
" The Officers who take up their pay from us,
specially on the Ist of the month at Woolwich, will
have the gcodness, conformably to the enclosed letter,
to deduct from the receipts they may present On
Thursday next, the amount of the tax for six months

" Alajor-Gen. Sir H. D. Ross, K.C.8."
" Office of Ordnance, Aug. 24, 1842.
" Gentlemen,—l am directed to communicate to
you the following orders, which the Board, at the
suggestion of the Ordnance Commissioners of the
Property and Income-tax, have been pleased to give,
with a view to facilitate the assessment and collection
of the tax in this department, viz. :
" The Board desire that you will stop the sum of
7d. in the pound on account of the Property-tax
from all sums paid by the Ordnance through your
agency, to the officers of the Royal Artillery, Royal
Engineers, and Royal Sappers and Miners, except the
following allowances, viz.—mess allowance, forage
allowance, travelling
allowances, marching money,
allowance to captains of companies, for repairs of
arms, &c.
" That you vt ill carry the sums so stopped by you
to a separate account to be called the Property-tax
Account,' the said sums to be paid over in such man-
ner as the Commissioners may hereafter direct.
" That the said deduction of 7d. in the pound be
made from every issue on account of the military pay,
allowances (except those before-mentioned), and emo-
luments of each officer, whether the aggregate annual
amount of his annual income be less than 1501. or
not ; and should any officer claim to be exempted
from the tax on his military pay, &c., on the ground
that the aggregate annual amount of his income is
less than 150/., and is wholly derived from such pay,
&c., such officer is to transmit to the Ordnance-office
a notice and declaration, if he be in Great Britain
or an affidavit if he be in Ireland, or abroad, accord-
ing to one of the accompanying forms, as the case
may be, for the decision of the Commissioners of
Property-tax, and if the claim to such exemption shall
be admitted, the amount of tax stopped and deducted
will be repaid to the officer.
" But if an officer's whole income, being less than
1501. a year, be derived partly from his military pay,
&c., and partly from any other source, his claim for
exemption, if he be in Great Britain, must be made
to the Commissioners of the Civil District, in which
he is stationed or residing, upon a form which may be
e)tained from the assessor of the parish, and the cer-
tificate of exemption of such Commissioners is to be
transmitted to the office of Stamps and Taxes, Somer-
set House, London, in order that the assessment on
the officer's military pay, &c., may be discharged.
" If the officer so claiming exemption be in Ireland
or abroad, he is to transmit on affidavit of the fact of
his income from every source being under 1501. per
year, to the Ordnance-office, as before directed in the
case of his income being wholly derived from his pay
and military allowances.
"I am in conclusion, to signify
the Board's further
desire that you will stop the arrears due from the 6th
of April last inclusive, from the next issue of pay, to
the said officers of the Ordnance Military Corps,
Medical and Field Train department, as well as the
amount of the tax on that issue.

SODA WATER.
ROUGISSEDGE and SUMMERS have hitherto relied on
the discernment of the public to discover and appreciate
the superior quality of the Arated Water produced by
their manufactory, and they have scorned to have re-
course to any tricks. In the present day some persons
consider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackery
in order to extend the sale of their own productions by
detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R.
and S. have such strong grounds of reliance on the supe-
riority of their own soda water and lemonade, founded
on the recommendation of the most eminent of the
faculty, on the results of the most searching chemical
analyses, and the extensive and still increasing demand
for them by the public, both at home and abroad,
that they have hitherto treated the insinuations
of quackery alluded to with the contempt they
deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are
still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel
themselves justified in offering those explanations that'
may enable the public to judge for themselves. If R. and
S. have placed the name of Schweppe upon their bottles,
it was never to mislead the public as to connexion with
that firm, but for the purpose of announcing a legitimate
fact, and always subordinate to their own. Without im-
puting undue credit to the name of Schweppe, they have
simply stated that they came from the house of Schweppe
and Co.,—an undoubted fact, or doubtless it would have
been denied. For five and twenty years, during the very
period that the waters sold by Schweppe gave to that
name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Summers
was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold
by that house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is
many years since
any person, having the slightest
connexion with the name or family of the late Mr.
Schweppe, has been connected with any house in the
trade. In the
year 1834, the proprietor of the busi-
ness carried on under the name of Schweppe and Co.
sold his interest to persons with whom R. and S.
declined to remain : they preferred employing their in-
dustry and practical knowledge in establishing a business
for their own mutual profit. Whether the waters since
manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and Co.
retain the quality which acquired for that house all its
celebrity, R. and S. decline to give an opinion ; but, in
justice to themselves, they do, with the most perfect con-
fidence and good faith, say that—highly as some ma-
nufacturers seem to estimate the bottles which bear
their name (expensive an item as bottles are), and diffi-
cult as it is to prevent retail tradesmen from returning
wrong ones—there is no bottle bearing any other than
their own, however celebrated, to which Roughsodge and
Summers would wish to add the reputation to be derived
from filling them with waters of their own manufactory.
ROUGHSEDOE and SUMMERS only desire such patronage
as may bedeserved from the gated Waters produced
at thew own manlffactom and sold under -the labels of
their own name.-37, Bridge-street, Bristol.

The Consol Market has declined to-day about one
quarter per cent., some sales effected, it is supposed,
on account of the Scotch banks, having brought for-
ward more stock than was required to meet the de-
mand of the jobbers. It must also be home in mind
that the late advance, which is on all hands admitted
to have been rapid, will probably have shown persons
in the character of realizers who would otherwise
have continued supporters of prices. Money has
not increased beyond the rate of 1 to 2, although
the half-monthly settlement in the Foreign market
took place.

RESERVE OF WILKIE.—Of his reserve we recollect
a story highly characteristic of the man. One day, when
asking a frank from his kiud friend the late Lord Hol-
land, his Lordship waited some time, with the pen in his
hand, for Wilkie to give the name and address he wished
to have inscribed upon the cover. " Whom to, Mr.
Wilkie ?" said his Lordship, smilingly. " Oh," said
Wilkie, with his usual reserve, " My Lord it's just—my
Lord—it's just a lady !" Lord Holland laughed, Wilkie
still hesitated ; but, recollecting himself, became in
another moment properly communicative upon so small
a matter.—Fruscr for September.
EGYPTIAN WIIEAT.—Last year the Marquis of
Bristol gave to Mr. Mitchell, a gardener of Kemp-town,
several ears of corn found upon opening an Egyptian
mummy, supposed to be two thousand years old. At
the proper season the grain was sown, and has been
cultivated by Mr. Mitchell with great care. It has pro-
duced very fine ears of corn, some of them nine inches
in length, but the grain is much lighter than the common
wheat. Mr. Mitchell has saved the crop to make fur-
ther experiments next year.
The General Steam Navigation Company's steam-
ship, Wilberforce, Captain Stranack, arrived from Ant-

a half after her usual time. She brings Belgian papers
