HOP INTELLIGENCE,

WORCESTER, AUG. 12.—The line weather has caused
a partial improvement in the Platliation, though we cannot
anticipate, at this late pericA, that many Hops can be
grown. In London, ycsiterday, the duty advanced to
40,000/. In our market nothing is doing. A circum-
stance has been mentioned to us, which shows the uncer-
tain nature of a Hop Plantation :—One Planter in Here-
fordshire is expected to grow five tans of Hops, while in
the adjoining yard of his neighbour it is not expected
that the Hops will repay the expense of picking.

At the present Assizes for Clare, there were
a number of cases of abduction and rape to he tried.—
Upon looking over the calendar, thP, CHIEF BARON re-
marked to the Jury, that from ttio limber charged with
rape, he was of opinion that and: a crime 4vas the way of
proposing for a gill in that part of the country, if the
bachelor could nAt speak English.—Dublin Eveniv
Packet.

VORACITY OF THE PIKE.—A striking in-
stance of the voracity of the pike has, within these few
days, come under our knowledge, which we mention for
the benefit of the lovers of natural history. In drawing
the pits of J. Asrirstar.A., Esq. of Cleongar_hall, Cheshire,
a fish of this species was taken, from the mouth of which
projected the tail of another pike, at first presenting a sin-
gular appearance. It was found, on exanainAtion, that the
larger fish was alive, although in a torpid, state, and that
part of the other which was swallowed was in a state of
decomposition. The difference between the two was very
trifling ; the one which preyed upon the other being 20
inches long and the other 16. What makes it more re-
tnarkable is, that these. were a variety of other kinas of fish
in the pit.--iwerpool Cot(r44..

a& a party of young men and women were
011 Sunday afternoon, the 9tll Instant, about
fp.ur• o'clock,
on their return from Breydor,, in a ship's boat, where
theye had

mile point from the tiamen of Great Yarmouth, and in the
a

rr y excursion, when near the
wind out of the boat's sail, and on clearing each other,
the wind from the wherry's sail fell upon the boat's
sail, and laid the boat down in the water ; the boat in
consequence upset, and precipitated the whole .party into
the water, when three females were drowned. The party
consisted of MARY ALDRED and ANN BAT, dress-makers;
and ELIZA WATERS, a young woman employed in the
silk-factory ; JAMES ALnaxix„ and a younger brother, bro-
thers of MARY AT,44./II.,; and JortN CALLOW. When
the boat upset, Aaays Aroassn was sitting between MARY
h* sister, and ELIZA WATERS, with his arms
entwined in theirs; to the latter be was to have been mar-
since been in a distracted state, He used eveq exertion
mar-
vied on the Tnesday following. The young man has ever
to save his sister and his, intended when in the water, and
held them up for some time, but they gradually became
exhausted, add sunk from his view to rise no more. CAL-
LOW wag taken off the bottom of the boat by a wherry,
sovi the two ALDRZOS su(!tuded in reachin the shore.
The body of one of li!oe Ceinales was picked up a short
g
time afterwards, hut the 'vital spark had fled ; and those
of the othfr two were fottu.i On the following day. The
quoi4nt caused a most extraordinary sensation in the town,
