HOP INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Maidstone Journal, May 20.)  The plantations are now beginning to afford indications from which experienced observers are enabled to form some opinion of the probabilities of the season. We therefore resume our reports. In this neighbourhood the plants are still very backward, nor can they be expected to make much progress until we have warmer nights and more settled weather. From Mereworth and Peckham we learn that the bine, though backward, looks strong and healthy, excepting is a few grounds where the flea has been. . . . .  Our fierenoaks correspondents inform us that the bine has generally, despite the oold nights, come out remarkably strong and healthy; it was reported that there had been some indications of vermin; but in this neighbourhood, extending to Reigate, on the west, not the slightest appearance of flea has been seen, and the plant is in a thriving and promising state.  Muir of Ord Market.— The second cattle market of the season was held on Wednesday and Thursday last. The show of stook was considerable, but withal deficient in quality. There was a good attendance of dealers, but most of the business done by graziers. Prices, considering the condition of the stock, were rather higher than titular. One-year-old gots sold at from £1 3s. to £2; Two-year. olds from £4 to £5 101. ; Three-years-olds brought from £5 103. to .£7 10s. One superior lot sold at XL The best It of three-year.olds was bought by Mr. Clark, cattle-dealer, Campbelton, for £lO Ss. per head. Mr. Cowan, flasher in this town, bought a pair of fat cattle for £lO 188. per head. Cheviot hogs sold at from 12s. to 13e. ; black-faced os. to us.  Determined Suicide.—A most determined persistence in a resolution to commit suicide was manifested on Wed. nesday at Rouen. A retired commercial broker, named Coiffin, went on Tuesday evening to St. Sever, behind the Circus, and there fired a pistol into his mouth; his being unsteady, the ball only passed through his cheek, w, out doing him any dangerous injury. A police-officer her this report, ran to rtir spot, and finding what had fur _ took him by the arm to lead him home. On the way, he attempted to throw himself into the river, but the officer succeeded in placing him in the hands of his family. A physician was sent for, and dressed the wound. Scarcely had he gone, when Coiffin rose from his bed, and ascending to the fourth floor, made a third attempt to commit suicide, by throwing himself out of the window. Being watched, he was again prevented, and then, again going into his bed, giving a solemn promise to abandon his sinister intention, he was left to his repose. Early in the morning, however, he stole silently down to the woodhouse in the yard, and there hanged himself with his cravat. When discovered, he was lifeless.—Gatignani. - Bees—On the 21st curt., a strong hive of bees swarmed in the garden of James Ewing, Esq., Strathleven, being the first of the season in that locality. Last year the first hive went off from Stratbleven 13 days earlier, viz., on the Bth May—being no great compliment to the genial character of the present season. On the other hand we observe the following in a contemporary of Saturday :—" A bee-hive, the property of Mr. John Gilmour, Loohwinnoch, sent off an excellent swarm on the 21st inst. This is a proof of the mildness of the season; it is about a month earlier than the UsUlii time of swarming in that part of the country; and, judging from this circumstance, the dealers in bees may anticipate good returns for the season. This is the first cast we have heard of this season, and it is about eight days earlier than on any year we recollect of. The" Times" Amongst Us.—We learn that a legal geir man of talent and reputation has been sent down to Scotin connection with the Times newspaper, to make inerence to our pauperism, and the new act on ' • poor assessment, lately brought into ParLord Advocate. The same gentleman is to different localities in the north, has been already made, Courier. contractor, fired at Iso been Dub.  , 100. tee IMMO* k Ml.Cbreh ofl4sl.ld fritiany ether MOM ereinatmeetheribsbeheepdieliatit,n which -It=hhhoul Nopsilieg ben, We by the appeleteostiesene j • the *tine the Amembly, for pressing deeply and ' duty upon all lb* .....L.. of the Church of &via, Mate freely aid more cordially the as Cbrietian acheme• elr Joni Ilex wax!. had mei plown in stating bad necessity to travel in lerelenleedit be Gould bear his to the gratitude of their asisitterellei •11 parts wher nisi Committee had been @babied Mullillesa minister' with the Church of Scotland.
