GREECE. AI:GSM:IIG, SEPT. 30.—The Greeks have brought the ilossnlown to a bloody battle between Thebes and Gitoni, bt whi , It the latter lost 4,000 men in killed and wounded, a nd 400 prisoners. In a second battle, at Marais, near Volt). the 'Turks lost 600 prisoner, although their army was IS 000 men. and that of the Greeks only 7,000. The Mosso!men, after the action, were obliged to retire towards fhessaly, am' to take refuge in Larissa. Extracts of Letters from Ancona, Sept. 15, 1823: .4 There has arrived here a Captain Zyoeeki, from Cork, fa six days, and I hasten to communicate the information be brings, which is as follows, nearly verbatim as I bad it from him at the Ileal &office:— e I left Patras fifteen days ago. The Turkish Beet, with troops on board, kept Illissolonglsi in a strict blockade by sea and land ; but in order to reduce it, 20,000 Turkish troops were expected front Prevsea, most Albanians, under Jesuff Pacha. Some sudden commotion having arisen strong these troops (supposed to be or. account of their not being paid), the Pacita was obliged to make the best of his way, accompanied only by his suite, on board the fleet. The troops before filissolonglii were then re-embarked, and the Beet sailed for Patras, and from thence to Constan• unople. , This declaration was made by Captain Zyoceki at the Health-office, as I before stated, and as he is a Papal sub ject, and cannot be supposed to be interested in any manner, lhave no hesitation in saying that his report is worthy of credit. " SEPT. 16.—P. S. Since writing the above, there is another arrival iu eight days from Ithaca—the Captain of the vessel confirms the foregoing intelligence, with this ad. dition, that the garrison of Missolonghi made a sally on the Turks before they embarked, when they were asleep, and killed numbers of them; there are still twelve small Turkish vessels crnizing at a distance from Missolonghi, ►ut the rest of the fleet have returned to Constantinople. ' EXTRACTS FROM AMERIC W ‘N PAPERS RECEIVED THIS EEK. TREATY RETWEILN SPAIN AND MINOS AYRES. By the fast sailing brig Dick, Capt. Woodhouse, in 48 days from Buenos Ayres, we are furnished with the follow. ing interesting intelligence, by which it will be seen that a Preliminary Treaty between the State of Buenos Ayres, and the Government of Spain, wis formally signed on the 4th of July. The Cit'szens of the U. States, to the number of thirty, were celebrating the Anniversary of our independence, at Mrs. Thorn's Hotel, Mr. Forbes presiding, assisted by Capt. C. Prince, of New York, as Vice President. After they bad got through with their regular toasts, Mr. Forbes announced that he had just received a note from the Minister of State, offering his felicitations to the U. States, on the glorious Anniversary they were celebrating, and informing him that at that moment, a Preliminary Treaty had been signed between the Spanish ;Comma sioners, and the State of Buenos Ayres. This communi cation was received with acclamations of joy, and Mr. Forbes gas requested to express in reply; to the Minister, the sentiments of the meeting. The following toasts were then given by Mr. Forbes : I. The lion. Mr. Rividavia, minister of government and of foreign relations—the champion of moral influence — the enemy of prejudices- the enlightened and holiest statesman; Patriotism hls motive and guide—his shield and retrard, the appropriation of a pure and elevated con science. 2. The Preliminary Treaty between Buenos Ayres and die King of Spain, this day signed—may it lead to a de- Poitive treaty equally honourable and advantageous to both parties—may it open a new political millenium in nits. ted Europe, by strengthening right and tempering power. On the following day the Minister sent a polite note to bir. F., with several copies of the treaty. PROM TUE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, OF THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4. AFRICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY. • The following letter was received by the Society from its principal agent at the Colony. It embraces some truths which the Society and public will lose nothing by hearing plainly spoken. ItIONROyIA, JUNE 18th, 1823. DEAR SIR-1 am just able to sit up and hold my pen a few minutes, which will he my apology for not giving you a statement of facts. This moment the last of our Colonists which I brought out, applied for medicine—he is taken. — All who are living are doing well, and have been slightly affected. It has, by no means, altered my opinion of Africa. Every one that Caine out this time, is now down with fever. For four days I have not been aisle to see them, but Mr. Carey visits them, and brings me a report. Tlsis I foresaw, and am no wise disappoimed. 1 have now about 70 oil the sick and lame list. This I told you often enough would be the case, and say man might have known it. I hope, if any thing can make an impression on the minds of our Commit tee, this will convince them of the necessity of attending to sober facts, to form their judgments from, and not from the reports of interested blockheads, led away by silly visions. —1 hope this will convince all when an expedition ought to set out. The old colonists are very healthy, except a few confined by sores, which I find very troublesome. LIST OF DEATHS OP NEW COLONISTS. Two children ofConvulsions. Abel Herd, foolish obstinacy. Mrs. Stewart, confined on her passage; when unloading their goods, worked very hard, went into the water and died. James Fuller, from Alexandria, killed himself with Rum. June 19th.—This morning I am a little better. The late war was occasioned by, Ist. Captain Otis furnish , ing the natives with a supply of powder, lead, and arms ; 2d. By a mistaken policy of managing their palaver ;-6 discharges from long tom. while they were in palaver, would have prevented all that followed; 3rd. The bushes have not been cleared away from the settlement, which allowed the natives the means of crawling up undiscovered, to the stockade. and shooting our people through their own palisade. This is the more inexcusable, as the natives were six weeks in palaver, and it wall known they intended to make the attack. • I find the morals of our young . men bate suffered much in consequence of suffering the natives to build sonic huts and introduce their women. I have broken up the houses, for bade them to come, have a guard set to shoot any one seen after dark on our side. Nothing but the most ener getic measures will answer. If I live, such as are necessary :hall be applied. I wish you to have an agent ready, in ease I should not Eve. Whatever you do, I charge you to send a man of business, and one who knows bow to command. or your colony is done. I am very much exhausted and cannot copy. or even read, what I have written. lam your most obedient , RIM IL It . GURLEY. E. Avaas. Tug VERMONT &Hr.—We have this morning been on board of the Gleaner, the arrival of which, from St. Albans, (Vt.) was announced yesterday. She has a full cargo, consisting of 1100 bushels of wheat, and 40 barrels of Pot ' and Pearl Ashes. •• The Gleaner has performed a passage of about 330 miles, having come down Lake Champlain to Whitehall, thence through the Canal to Waterford, passing tbreagb the dam and lock between Waterford and Troy, and descending the Hudson to this city. She is 35 tons 1111rthen • will carry about GO tons of goods, and has good meeeemOdations for passengers, having ten births in aunt )/ UAW cabin. Mr. Nehemiah W. Kiernan and Dr. MIA Hoyt, of Vermont, are owners of the Gleaner. het at the moment of writing this paragraph, we are re minded by* noise in the streekthat that part of the cargo THE STATESMAN of the Gleaner, in barrels, is passing before oar door, on its tray to the proper office for inspection. Forty carmen have volunteered on the occasion, each taking a barrel, and forming together a procession. A flag floats over the van of the procession, and the horses tramp, and carts rattle to the tune of marshal music. THEATRICALS. Dnuav LANs.—Last night, the Trip to Scarborough was performed, with two novelties. There-introduction of Miss S. BOOTH to a London audience, in the character of Alin Hoyden, and the first appearance of Mr. Haoww, from Liverpool, in the character of Lord Foppington. Oar old favourite, Miss S. BOOTH, claims the first attention. She is growing rather stouter than she was when she personated the nymph-like "lady of the Lake." and the opposite nature of the character which she played last night, seemed to require the change. We have never seen this character displayed to greater advantage. It has been played more boisterously, both in manner and dialect ; but never more effectively. Her voice is extraordinarily powerful, and her nice discrimination enabled her to give full effect to the display of a character which is now only to be met with in books. She was frequently applauded during the performance; particularly in the first scene with i the lover. Mr. BROWN is a tall well looking gentleman, upon the stage ; and leis personation of the conceited Fopping. ton was extremely good. He is not so elegant in his figure, or manner, as JONES ; but he has a better voice, and great variety and discretion in the use of lit. The scene in which he is wounded by Loveless, for making love to his wife, was well supported, particularly the latter part of it ;—bat his best scene was the interview with his brother, Young Fashion. The easy indolence, and purse-proud philosophy of the soul-less being who lives only for h tmsel f,were excel. lently pourtrayed. In the last scene, lie perhaps displayed scarcely enough of surprise at his treatment by Sir 7 us belly Clumsy. He was loudly applauded ; an d certainly 11 deserved the warm reception he met with. Mr. Was.. LACK played Young Fashion with sufficient spirit,' and the easy impudence of a younger brother. Miss L. KNLLY played Derinthia as well as the part re-' quired ; and Mrs. Deceit was the sensitive and virtuous Amand. Mrs. IlattLowe's nurse was excellent. GATTIC'S Sir Tunbelly, was a decent caricature ; THOMSON'S Colonel Townly came evidently front the City of Dublin ; and PIN LET ' S Loveless was given in nis usual style. The ballet of Love and Folly succeeded; and we were next treated with the Three Singles of MR.ELLISTON, than which the modern stage offers no grea'cr specimen of excellence. The dif ference of near a score of years since the production of this piece, appears to have made no inroad upon the sprightli ness, or earnestness of MR. ELLISTON, in the arduous re presentation of these three contraries. We saw W•L• LACK play them at the English Opera Ho use, a few week s since, and set Ilion down as leaving acquitted himself well ;—but on witnessing again the performance of ELLIATON, we were compelled to confess that the palm is all his own—his laurels are not shared by any one. Hamar plays Humphrey Grizzle in too quick time, to borrow a musical simile. We have not leisure to enjoy one jest, before another hreaks its neck over it. Humphrey is not a mad-cap London valet; but a sober country lad, accustomed to make a little free with bis master, but not to phble as furiously as a goose hisses when her goslings are disturbed. WINDSOR. OCT. 7.—This morning the Duchess of Glou cester paid a visit to his Majesty from llagshot Park. Soon after one o'clock the King, accompanied by the Royal Duchess, left the Castle in •a phaeton to take a ride top the long walk towards the Cottage. The %limey Band attended at the Castle yesterday evening by command of his Majesty. Yesterday afternoon, the Duke of York held a Levee, as Commander in Chief, at his Oflice in the Horse Guards, which was attended by General Ocu, General Mllwerin, and between twenty and thirty other Military Officers. ---- -- - - Yesterday morning an Express arrived at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, with despatches from Sir Charles Stain, at Paris, stated that the King of Spain had been set at liberty, and was on his road to • Madrid. The Express came by the way of Boulogne. On Monday night M. Bego, an Italian courier, arrived at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, with despatches from Sir William A'Court at Gibraltar.—(Court A C1C.5.11:1/1 ) ELECTION OF A SCOTCII REPRESENTATIVE PEER.—OR Friday last, a number of the Peers of Scotland assembled in the Palace of Holvrootl Bowe to elect a Representative Peer in the room of Francis Lord Nattier, deceased. On a scrutiny of the votes, the Right ilononraltle William George Hay Carr, Earl of Erroll, was declared duly elect ed. The number of Scots Peers at the Union in 1-507 was about 110; at present there are only SO. Of these, two are disqualified, being Catholics , the. Earls of fraquair and Newburghe • ten are minors, viz. Dukes of Ruceleugh and Roxburghe;Marquess (Earl) of Aberrorn, Earls of Rothes, Eglinton, Selkirk, and llopetoun ; Viscount Falkland, and Lords Elphinstone and Cranston ; and four are Peeresses, 'the Countesses of Sutherland, Loudon, Dysart, and Ork ney. The number of Scots Peers, who are Peers of Great Britain, is 28. la ISM Mr. Bromfield, cheesemonger. of Chester, owing to some unavoidable losses. was under the necessity of com pounding with his creditors, paying Us. in the pound. With this they were perfectly satisfied. Subsequently trade improved, and a few days ago he called his creditors together, and volun tarily paid them the remaining 6s. in the pound. For this exemplary conduct they have presented him with a piece of plate. A Frar-eftoor AND WATER-PROOF CEMZNT.—To half pint of milk put an equal qusistity of vinegar, in order to curdle it; then separate the curd from the whey, and mix the whey with the whites of four or five eggs. beating the whole well together. When it is well mixed, add a little quick through a sieve, until it has acquired the consistence of a thick paste. With this cement broken vessels and cracks of all kinds may be mended. it dries quickly, and resists the action of fire and water. A STRONG ADVOCATE.—A gentleman of some notoriety, at the west end of the town, was the other day met by a friend, who told him that he had just left a person who spoke very contemptuously of hint. "Of me! What did h e sa y?"—" Why. he said you were over head and ears in debt, that you paid no-body, and as for your word, it wasn't worth a button." " And what , " replie d the other, " did you say to this?" " Why," rejoined his friend, warmly, " L said it was." On Sunday week, no fewer than eighteen sales were ad vertised at a parish church in the highlands of this county for arrears of rent. 'They are said to be at the instance of a great landed proprietor.—(Dantke Adv.) According to a list given in the Inverness Courier, the number of genuine Celtic surnames, beginning with Mac, amounts to not fewer than 302. In the City of New York there are S l houses for public worship, 15 of which (being a greater number than those of any other denomination) are occupied by members of the Protestant Episcopal Church. There is now in the neighhonrhood of Bradford, an apple tree, which measures 160 feet in circumference at the extremity of the branches, and is supported by 14 props, supposed to contain 20 sacks of apples. Last week, two poor women and five children, who were gleaning in a field near Lantwit Major, in this county, ate the berries of the Night Shade, or Solanum, and were made so very ill as to he incapable of walking home.— Towards the close of night, some persons went in search of them, and found them lying on the ground, unable to move or speak, having their ryes wide open. They were taken home in a cart, and Mr. Thomas Davis, of Cow bridge,. surgeon, was sent for, who on his arrival adminis tered the usual remedies, with success, to the children ; but the two old women have still (though six days have elapsed) a great deal of delirium, accompanied by invo luntary motions of the hands and feete--(The Cambrian.) ATTEMPT TO BURS THE COURT HOUSE OF KILKENNY. On Wednesday evening, a little before eight o'clock, the sentinel in the yard of the City gaol gave the alarm of fire in the Court House. The fire-bell was immediately rung; the authorities, and a multitude of the inhabitants repaired to the spot • the engines were also taken to the gaol, but could not spot; brought to play on the fire. It appeared, that the flames were confined to the County Grand Jury Room ; and on its being forced open, it was found that the centre of the floor was all on 6re. Water was abundantly supplied in tubs and barrels, and mere zealous efforts to extinguish the conflagration could no where be made than was displayed by the people of Kil kenny on this occasion. One young man, of the name of Toby Butler, took oil his coat, jnmped into a space round which the fire was playing, and dipping his surtout in slater, kept whisking it round wherever the fire ap peared until he had destroyed his upper garment in the public service. Wm. Robertson, Esq. Architect, was soon after seen in the same space applying the water, tracing the fire, and directing the operations of those employed in removing the half burned boards; and in this situation he remained until all danger was at an end. William Grace, Esq., the Sub-Sheriff, whose exertions and presence of mind on this trying occasion were beyond all praise, had procured a quantity of potash (the Lest extinguisher of fire known) with which loge quantities of water were saturated, which, being pouredl on the floor and round the burning circle, doubtless effectually checked the further progress of the flame; for the joists are completely charred to a distance all round the part where the floor was consumed. The table, wood-work, glass, and library of the Grand Jury Room are all de stroyed. Nothing but the uncommon exertions of all ranks preserved that immense building, including both Court Houses, from ruin. The Military Guard were also useful in preserving order. The lire was completely extinguished before ten o'clock, and we are happy to say, no accident of consequence happened during the evening. Although it was manifestly difficult to account for the origin of the fire, no one in the confusion of the moment seemed to think that if it had heen accidental the fender and tire irons and some fragments of the carpet and chairs would have been found in the room ; but when time was allowed for reflection, this idea occurred to every person.— On Thursday there was a Meeting of County Magis trates on other important business, at which this affair necessarily engaged their attention. Our active City Police had, in the mean time, traced some of the property. The whole, with the exception of some chairs, has since, we believe, been recovered. The result of the investigation was, that an unfortunate woman, the widow of the late Court-house-keeper, whom the Grand Jury had appointed to that office in mercy to her five orphan children, has been apprehended, besides two women who had been employed in disposing of the stolen property, and one man, who is supposed to lisive aided in effecting the sales. The investigation was resumed yesterday by some of the County Magistrates who reside in the vicinity of this city; but we had not heard the results, when we were preparing to print off the papers which are forwarded by the night mail coach. CORNISH HOROLTTH POLITICS. (FROM TILE \VEST BRITON.) A correspondent says :—" The election of a new Mayor took place at Tregony on Tuesday last. the late Mayor having filled that office for the last three years. Captain Hannah, , R. N. and Mr. Richard Trenemen were the candidates for the office ; the latter gentleman was supported by Alderman Jewell, the late Mayor, Alderman Gurney, justice, sud Alder man Symons, whilst the former being supported only by Al- dermen Perryman and Moorman, Mr. Trenemen was declared duly elected, and sworn into office, lie having a majority of one in his favour.—lt was some time since observed that Al dermen were so scarce in a certain borough that a labourer had been elected an Alderman, and now we find him titling the office of Chief Magistrate, to the *astonishment and • petri cation ' of th , se wilts witnessed the proceedings. The busi ness of the day was unfortunately interrupted by some very violent intemperate and • irrererential ' language, used on the bench, which had nearly ended in a breach of the peace, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the late Mayor, aided by those of his legal adviser." The following, we are informed, is a correct statement of the late transactions at East I.ooe, relative to the election of a Mayor.—On Monday se'onight, a very numerous assemblage of the inhabitants of East lon took place at the Town Hall in that Borough, te witness the proceedings at the election of a Mayor for the ensuing year.—After the Court had been opened with the usual forms, Mr. Grigg was elected by a ma jority of the Corporation; hut the return being notified to Mr. Kent, the Mayor for the time being, he refused to administer the usual oaths. The Court was accordiugly adjourned ; and Captain Campble, R. N. took the keys of the Hall; but on be ing served with a written demand from the Mayor, he reluc tantly surrendered them. After due consultation, it was re solved that Mr. Grigg should be sworn into office by Captain Campble. he being one of the Aldermen and a Justice residing , in the Borough, and Monday last was the time fixed on for the ' purpose.—Unfortunately the Captain was taken ill on the Saturday, and died on Monday.—Mr. Kent, in consequence, holds the office, until the legality of his conduct has been de- I i cided on by a superior Court. Scnoot. or AnTs.—On Tuesday evening the School o Arts was opened for the third season. The Freemasons' Hall was filled to excess long before the hour appointed for the commencement of the Lecture, every Student being allowed to take a friend along with him. About half-past eight o'clock, Dr. Fyfe entered the Hall, followed by a number of the Directors, and was received with every mark of respect and approbation. Dr. Fyfe, after an introduc tory address, proceeded with his Lecture for the evening, illustrating his positions by a variety of beautiful experi ments.—(Scorsman.) SHOCKING OCCURRSNCK.—On Sunday morning, daring the absence of Mr. (Verger, grocer, of Ashford, attending church service, a sister of Mrs. W, called at the house, and using very intemperate language, Mrs. W. told her, she wished not to see her in such a frame of mind, and certainly should decline talking witl► her. On this she retired from the room and proceeded up stairs, when she was followed by her sister, who threw her npon a bed and produced a bill, used for cutting wood, which she had brought with her, made several violent blows at Mrs. W., who defended herself with her hands, and happily succeeded in escaping from her inhuman asaailant by running down stairs into the street, where assistance was instantly procured. —The sister is taken into custody and detained by the peace officers for examination before a magistrate, when it is expected she will be committed to Maidstone thud to take her trial for the offence. Mrs. W. is dreadfully cut in both her thumbs, and is is feared she will entirely lose the use of one.—(Kentieh Chronicle.) A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday afternoon, at Newgate, before T. Shelton. Esq., Coroner for the City of London, on the body of Julia Weatherall, a prisoner under sentence of transportation, who had died the preceding evening in the Infirmary of the said gaol. it appeared the poor woman had for a considerable time been in a deep decline, but every attention bad been paid her by medical and other proper attendance.

Sept. 22.—The Brazilian frigate Netheroly, Captain Taylor, has been cruising between this and the Azores. She has captured and destroyed several vessels ; among the captures are the ships Nova Amazona, and Prazerea and Alegria, bound to Para. The Patacho St. Antonio Vigilante, bound here from the islands, was plundered and sunk by her. The Emilia, from Tercera, was also plundered, but was allowed to proceed : I hear she bought the crews of some of the captured vessels. I have not been able to obtain any further particulars, but the depredations committed are, I am sorry to say, not confined to the above instances. The Perola' and Don Pedro frigates, and the Providence brig of war, are sup posed to be in quest of her, or to endeavour to recapture some of her prizes, but I imagine they will be too late. Letters from Genoa, dated the 25th nit. state, that a vessel under the Russian flag, with grain from Constan tinople, had been detained by the Spanish privateers. COMM, OCT. 6.—lnformation is just received, that two French King's cutters have lately beers in Guernsey Roads, dispatched from Granville, in search of a Spanish privateer, which had captured a French West India ship oil' the Caskets, and said to be now cruising in the channel : as well as two other armed vessels from Brest. The Spaniard is a cutter called the Temerario, formerly the Lion, in the service of the Customs, and was some time since sold at Portsmouth. PI LCIIARD FISHRRT.—The weather during the la , t week has been very unfavourable fur the pilchard fishery ; —the scans were not put to sea at all ; but we learn that on Monday night several of the driving-boats in Mount's Bay took from tire to six hogsheads of hsh each. On Tue•- daq night, it blew a severe gale from the N. E. to N. N. W. but several boats ventured out, and some of them took from two to six hogsheads each ; such of them as did rot return by 11 p.m. were compelled to keep the sea all nigh.: and the ensuing day. it being impossible for them to ap proach the shore. 'Notwithstanding it continued to blo•.v very bard, several boats went to sea on Wednesday night. The fishermen say there are large shoals of fish in di ep water —the gannets can be seen from the hills, darting into the sea from a height above, with the rapidity of a falling stone, in order to prey on the fish ; this being a sure indication of the continuance of shoals of pilchards off the coast, it is still hoped that if the weather should be come moderate, the scans may be used with effect. —(Wect Briton.)

At the Perth Jury Court lately, a case was tried in which a Mrs. Plan claimed wages and board for a year horn Mr. Davidson, of the George Inn, Perth. It appeared she was engaged as cook, but the first day she cooked the dinners so wretchedly that she was dismissed. Several witnesses proved her unfitness for the situation ; she sect the fish up to dinner with the heads, fins, and skin black, and burnt to a cinder: the soup was cold ; and the beef-steak was so much burnt and spoiled, that it was sent hack from table. The dinner for the passengi rs of the tilasg,ow coach was so bad, that one gentleman said lie would never again enter the house. In the kitchen, feathers, lien's-guts, and every thing were lying in disorder, and the tables were all dirty. A dinner ordered for a marriageparty was very ill.dressed : one dish was veal cutlets, and a witness never saw any thing of the kind cut in such a manner. In favour of Mrg. Phin, Mrs. Connal, of Glasgow, certified, that she was its months in her service, at 161. Ilia. a year, and gave her satisfaction. Mr. Wallace, the bridegroom, for whom su pper was ordered, said no one found fault with it. In answer to a question by Mr. Smythe, witness acknow- • ledged that, it being his marriage night, he did not pav p ar ticular attention to the supper. Lard Dillies — " Ver .. y likely, indeed, Mr. Wallace!" Mr. Smythe—" Did you eat any part of it at all :" Witness—" I rather believe not ; 1 was not disposed." The evidence was summed up with the perspicuity, ability, and eloquence which distinguishes Lord Li lies.—Verdict for Mr. Davidson. CORN EXCOANGR, Wednesday, Oct. S.—The arrivals to this day's market are not considerable. Not having many good dry samples of Wheat for sale,] such descriptions are held by the factors at rather more money ; but there is very little trade to day. Barley continues very du 1. Beans and Peas have no alteration. The Oat trade remains in much the same state as on Monday, with a tolerable good sale for prime samples. HOP iNTRLLIORNCL.--CANTCRRURY, Oct. 4.—The hop market this day was rather brisk; and there were about 500 pockets of new hops sold ; the prices may be quoted at ftom from 171. ss. to 171. 10s. 1 here was no business doing in bags. SOUTHWARK. Oct. 6.—New Hops are selling from 111. 113. to 161. Ills.; the great difference between old and new must cause more inquiry for them. The duty 20,0001. but few will back that sum. Currency of Yearlings and old ! remain the saute. 1 !MAIDSTONE, Oct. 2.—Our hop-picking is now pretty ,: generally over, and a dismal finish it has been, for, with a i few exceptions, being the thinnest land and planted with the grape, the crop turns out to an almost nothing ; many ' acres laid at a bag per acre scarcely produced 1 cwt. As to the trade we can say but little about, for the planters are looking to and asking much higher prices here than they ' are worth in the Borough Market, consequently there is nothing stirring.
