TIIE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Extracts from the Morning Papers, Jane 10. [BRITISH PRESS.] W bile anticipation has been busy in its specu lations our the results to arise from the defeat of the great financial measure brought forward by the Count de Villele, and the fall of that Minis ter was confidently proclaimed in the salons on the Bourse, and through the caffes of Paris, his triumph in the Royal Closet is announced in Tuesday's Eloile, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the versatile Chateaubriand, has been sa crificed to his influence : the latter is no longer a • member of the French Ministry. A Royal Or dinaece, dated on Tuesday, without preamble or assigned cause of any sort, flings Chateaubriand down from his short-lived elevation, and commits the portfeuille of Foreign Affairs to his triumphal opponent, the Finance Minister, till a more suit able successor is named. The immediate conse quences of this decisive policy have been a re storation of public confidence, and a rise in the French Funds. Though Monday was a close holiday, and the Bourse in consequence was shut, considerable business, our private letters inform - us, was done in the Rentes at the different Caffes where such transactions are conducted, as soon as the retirement of the Foreign Minister was known, and numerous transfers were made at pirces above 104 f., though on the Saturday before the Stock Exchange closed at 103 f. 50c. The retirement of Chateaubriand is considered as de cisive of the pacific policy of the French Cabinet. The King and his family had given their support to the Minister's financial mea sure of reduction, which Chateaubriand did iiot advocate from the tribune, and the rejection of which he is supposed to have contributed to, by private intrigue. All Villele's influence or consequence was directed to his removal. .Ells exile from the French Cabinet, just at this mo ment, must be considered as an event of unques tionable importance. Chateaubriand's accession took place at the period of the Congress of - Verona; and his inflated oratory from the - tribune was exerted to urge the war with Spain, to fulfil the views of the Royal Confederates assembled at that Congress, and to destroy with a throng of bayonets every thing like liberty within the Pyrenees. It is yet a subject of doubt whether that unhappy war, so ruinous in its effects to Spain, and productive of so little benefit to France, would have taken place if M. de Villele's influence had then been supreme. He had long substituted the slower and more secret, but not less dangerous weapons of corruption and intrigue. But Chateaubriand, and the cabal of the " Pavilon Marsan," urged on the war; and Louis opened the Session of 1823 with the annunciation of one hundred thou sand Frenchmen being prepared to pass the , Pyrenees and overturn the Constitution. What subsequent charges may follow the dismission of the Foreign Minister we cannot yet anticipate. The indemnity intended for the surviving emigrants, which was to be provided from the saving on the interest of the debt, must now be abandoned, or found from some other source. But the recent change is satisfactory, because the policy of the present Minister is decidedly pacific. Villele's great engines are diplomacy and intrigue ; we may look in consequence for a more liberal con duct towards the wretched Spaniards who were ruined by their attachment to freedom ; and no attempt will be made on South America that can draw down a quarrel with Great Britain. [THE TIMES.] The intelligence from Paris yesterday was of more than usual interest. The rejection of the plan for the reduction of the Rentes, which gave such general satisfaction in that capital on Thursday last, has ended, strange to say, not in the removal of the Minister, who was its author and supporter, but in that of another who had opposed it. M. de Villele, who sustained the defeat in the Chamber of Peers, has triumphed in the Cabinet of the King ; and his rival, Cha teaubriand, who succeeded in his underhand en couragement of legislative opposition, has been turned out, to enjoy his victory with his opposition friends. Private letters state, that M. de Villele ascribes the failure of his measure to the trea chery of his colleague ; and as the King and 1 , Monsieur were as anxious as the Minister to carry through a financial operation, from which the civil list would probably have derived advantage, this double-dealing could not escape with impunity. In the first instance, the Minister of Finance has acted with his. usual superiority, and has probably gained a permanent advantage. It is impossible, bowever, as yet, to foresee the result. Chateau briand retires with all the popularity of having prevented the spoliation of the small stockholders, and will be at the head of a party by whom he is warmly supported, and he can powerfully aid by his pen ; while•M. de Villele retains office amid the disgrace of defeat. There will, there fore, no doubt, be a severe struggle between these individuals and their friends. [NEw TIMES.] The I;tofle of Tuesday contains an unexpected inn,. the Visc ount dc latea CI • • Ordinance, remov ü briand f rom the Ministry of i I , oreign Aff a i rs, and entrusting the Portfolio ad nterim to M. d e Vil lele. Nothing is said as to the cause of this change ; b u t it may easily be conjectured that the Prime Minister did not consider himself to have been properly supported by.his Noble Col league in the affair of the proposed reduction of the Renter. It is said too, that M.de Chateauhrtand differed from M. de' Villele on the South Ame rican question) ; the former was inclined to go much further than the latter, in countenancing or even assisting the King of Spain to recover his Colonies. Be this as it may, the removal of M. De Chateaubriand from the Cabinet clearly sinews the firm footi n g on which M. D e Vill e l e stands in th e Royal fav g our. It also proves that he does not much regard the decay of his influence in the Chamber of Peers, since he has strengthened t h e Royalist Opposition ther e with the talents o f so celebrated a man as M. D e Chateaubriand. ratice d o not i nt i mate The private l etters fr om F that any other changes are likely to take place. The Rentes are rather improving ; on Monday they were 103. 40. for money, and 103. 55. for account ; they are said to have been done after 'Change hours considerably higher. [MORNING HERALD.] The retirement of M. Chateaubriand appears to have had a favourable effect upon the French funds. Et is not likely, however, to have any decided influence upon the foreign policy of France. It is true, he affected an exalted and uncompromising character ; but no one has been more flexible—more inconsistent with himself.— He wrote tomes of pamphlets before his entry into the Ministry. The measures and the speeches of the Minister, especially on the subject of the Election Laws and the Free dom of the Press, have been opposed, with a sort of whimsical precision, to the lucu brations of th e p am phl e t eer . Hi s very ex aggerations prove his i n si n c er ity. --Without any stable and uniform motives of action,— without strong passion, or the conviction of ren son,—he always went beyond the mark, lest his hollowness should be perceived. His zeal was fastidious, and therefore exaggerated. In reli gion, in politics, in literature even, he was al ways acting a part, or rather he was over-acting one. In religion his piety would stop nothing short of the Crusaders—as a politician he affected no thing short of chivalry; and in literature he carries what the continental writers call" the romantic," to very meJo-drame. In truth, he seems to have assumed the enthusiast, just like a preacher act ing fanaticism, to make himself a name. To the Ministry he brought little else than a certain glitter of reputation, and a certain facility of making phrases in a state paper or a speech. His retirement, then, should the breach in the Ministry run no farther, does not appear likely to affect the strength or popularity, whatever that may be, of the Government. [MORNING CHRONICLE.] The news of the dismissal of M. de Chateau , briand created some surprise yesterday, though, we believe, it was rather an agreeable surprise, as the triumph of M. de Villele was viewed as the defeat of the fanatic party, and an earnest of a disposition on the part of the French Govern ment to remain at peace with this country—When we say remain at peace, we only mean to say that M. de Villele will probably avoid taking any steps which will bring his Government into collisio❑ with that of this country.— As far as South America is concerned, the policy of M. de Villele would probably lead him to confine his exertions to intrigues for the fomenting of disturbances. This policy would not be viewed with any thing like ill will by a party in the British Cabinet, which hates independence as much as the Bourbons can pos sibly do, but which is kept in check by the feel ing which is now prevalent in the trading and manufacturing towns. The extravagance of the Russian, or bigk Ultra party in France, would hardly be credited in this country.-- Would it be believed that M. Pozzo di Borgo, its oracle in Paris, In a memoir addressed to his Court, in 1817, on the im portance of replacing South America under the dominion of Spain, actually allowed his zeal against liberty to carry him so far as gravely to propose the subjugation of the United States of North America. This is, no doubt, very extra vagant, but it was not the less gravely stated by the man to whom, more than any other, the Russian party in France, look up. It is, no doubt, a good thing that those who entertain such extravagant notions should be removed from power; but we must not exaggerate the amount of the good. We may rest assured that what ever Party prevails in France, it will be hostile to the cause of good government in every part of the world, and that the same objects will s till b e sought after, though by different means,—th e one giving a preference to violence, the other to fraud. [MORNING POST.] Viscount Chateaubriand was, by a Royal Or dounance, dismissed from the post of Minister for Foreign Affairs. This act of vigour seems to have produced a favourable effect. Though it was a holiday at the Paris Exchange a great deal of business was done in the French Funds, at an advanced price (104), and reports spread that M. de Villele had been or would be raised to a Duke dom, as a marl; of the King's satisfaction. This event is certainly one of considerable importance. Viscount Chateaubriand was the representative of the Ultras in the Ministry, and evidently used the influence with which his situation armed him to further their views rather than to give effect to the measures of the Administration of which he formed a part. He does not even stand quite clear in the estimation of the French pub lic, and perhaps of the King, of all participation iW the late affair in Portugal. That it was an Ultra plot, and that its failure has been lamented as such by the Ultra prints of France, are facts which it is impossible to deny. If it be urged that the conduct of Mr. Hyde de Neu ville at Lisbon exonerates the French Ministry from having been a party to the conspiracy, we shall answer, that it is now openly stated and be lieved in Paris, that M. Hyde de Neuville acted as he did on that occasion, because he had been left in the dark by the Minister who prepared and directed the whole, and who knowing him to be an honest man, did not think proper to put him au fait of what was intended. Neither is this a charge on the French Administration collectively, but on on e of its members, whose dismissal from offic e is a sufficient justification for the rest, as it proves that his conduct in both instances hau been view e d with disapprobation by his col leagues. M. de Chateaubriand is said to have been the most hostile of all the French Ministers to the recognitio n of South American indepen dence. M. de Villele, in whose hands the whole influence of the Ministry is at present collected, has always sbewn himself, on the contrary, a man of sense, moderation, and liberal principles. Had not his more violent colleague, backed by the authority of the Congress at Verona, interposed successfully at the time, that unjust and unneces sary war waged last year by France against Coo- stitutional Spain, would not have disgraced the policy of one country, and destroyed the liber ties of the other. Although we are satisfied, as we stated the other day, that the pOssibility of re-establishing Spanish Sovereignty in any part of America can not be entertained a moment, yet it must be con fessed that the circumstances of the New States differ so widely from each other, as to prevent the application of a general rule to all of them. For instance, the situation of Colombia is so op posite to that of Peru, and the situation of Chile and Buenos Ayres to that of Mexico, as to pre clude the same line of policy from being adopted throughout them indiscriminately. The de facto independence of Colombia is not even disputed, nor of Chili and Buenos Ayres. But it will be recollected that the liberation of Peru was first conquered by San Martin, rather against than with the approbation of the people of Lima, or the circumjacent country, and accordingly that a settled form of Government has not hitherto been allowed to root itself in the country. Some recent events respecting Mexico would lead to a similar conclusion, if the fact were previously a matter of doubt. We advert to these con siderations to warn our readers from indulging in hopes of undue latitude, or permitting their imaginations to get too far the start of that pro found judgment and discretion by which the con duct of his Majesty's Ministers will in this, asin all other cases, be g overne d, It s h ou ld likewise be borne in mind that the Government of the United States proceeded upon a principle ana logous to the one we now have in view, when it decided on the recognition of parts of the former possessions of Spain, and that up to this day no acknowledgment of the remaining pro vinces has taken place, however willing the itself to in questi on ma y h ave a l ways s h own to form relations of amity, both political and commercial, with the ci-deviant Colonies of the Peninsula. These few remarks we only throw out to check extravagant expectations, and indi cate the necessity of squaring oar policy accord ing to the relative position of affairs in the New World, rather than according to our own imme diate wishes or interests.—(ldem.) OLD BAILEY NEW COURT, JUNE 9. CARLILE'S SHOPMEN.—(Further particulars. ) Michael John O'Connor, and Richard Hassell, were indicted for having published a profane and blasphemous libel against religion and the Holy Scriptures, contained in " Paine's Age of Reason." Mr. FRENCH, the Counsel for the prisoner O'Connor, after the Jury had been sworn, objected that some of them had been on the Jury who tried the prisoners found guilty on the preced. ing day. After some discussion, the Counsel for the prosecu tion waved the right of refusing the challenge, which not hav ing been made as the Jury came to be sworn, was now in strictness too late, and a fresh Jury was sworn. Mr. BERNARD having opened the pleadings, Mr. Bo LLANO, for the prosecution, stated the case to the Jury, which was similar to those mentioned in our Report of yesterday. Richard Lidbetter was called, who proved that on the day laid in the indictment he went to Carlile's shop, and having bought a number of " The Republican," he asked for " The Age of Reason." The prisoner Hassell then said he had only come in to keep the shop for a short time, all those persons who had before been in it haring been taken up ; that he could not sell him the book he asked for then, but that if the witness would come in about an hour, a man would be there who would sell any thing. The witness went away, and returned in an hour, when lie saw the prisoner O'Connor standing near Has sell, and behind the counter. Upon the witness asking for the " Age of Reason," Hassell fetched him two copies, one bound, and the other unbound, of which witness selected the unbound copy, and paid 45., the price of it, to O'Connor. The witness then asked for " Palmer's Principles of Nature," of which llassel said he had not a copy; but O'Connor said they had one, and would sell it to him. [O'Connor was separately indicted for having sold the latter book, and had pleaded guilty to that charge.] The passages charged as libellous were then read from the book, and compared with the counts of the indictment, and the case for the prosecution closed. Mr. FrtExcir addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner O'Connor. He remarked upon the evidence, which he con tended did not affect his client, whose presence in Carlile's shop was purely accidental, and whose participation in the offence with which he was charged was without any evil intention. He then repeated the arguments which he urged in his speech for Jeffereys, who was tried on the day before, the tenour of which was, that while Unitarianism went unpunished, blas phemy, like that contained in the book for publishing which the prisoners were indicted, ought not to be the subject of pro secution. He concluded by exhorting the jury not to suffer themselves to become, by their verdict, the instruments of a prosecution which hoc\ in no instance prevented persons from exercising that freedom of opinion which was their birthright, but had always been most hostile to the interests of true re ligion. - The prisoner Hassell then proceeded with his defence, which was a mere echo of the contents of the " Age of Reason." He vindicated the purity of his intentions, professed himself to have no faith in any of the known systems of religion, all of which he believed were equally fabulous and vain, and took no small credit to himself for having put the hook he was now in dicted for having published, into the hands of many persons of all ages and of both sexes. He read several very long extracts from that book for the purpose, as he said, of shewing the Jury what was the real meaning of the passages laid in the indictment. The RECORDER said, that as the prisoner was without Counsel, he could not help suggesting to him that he was not doing himself any good by the course he was pursuing. The prisoner continued to read for some time longer, ending his defence (the effect of which was considerably enhanced by his broad Gloucestershire dialect) by an appeal to the Jury, whose verdict of " Not guilty" he confidently anticipated. A witness was called to O'Connor's character, and Mr. Wontner, the keeper of N ewgate , spo k e to t h e fact of his hav ing attended divine service while in prison. Bishop, the turn key, also said his behaviour had been decorous. The RECORDER then summed up. Some of the Jury hav ing expressed a d ou b t w h ether b ot h t h e pr i soners were ac quainted with the contents of the books they had sold, the Re corder said the law held them to be so acquainted, and re sponsible for their own acts. The Jury th en retired and . were absent about a quarter of an hour, when th ey found Hassell Guilty, and 0 Connor Not Guilty, The RECORDER sentenced Hassell to two years imprison.. ment, to enter into his own recognizance in 1001. to be of good behaviour duringliis life. The prisoner heard his sentence with great composure, and said, " I have fortitude enough to bear such a trial." The trial of the other prisoners was postponed until to morrow, in consequence of their objections to the Jury, which, although they might have been overruled, the Counsel for the prosecution acquiesced in. The following prisoners this day received sentence of death : 1-31ary NVatson, j. James Thomas, and William Reynolds, for stealing in a dwel ling-house; Rich ar d Hart, J. Williams, Thomas Davis, John Thompson, John Johnson, and Donald Ili‘Croy, for bur g l ar y ; T. J. Boyce, fo r cutting and maiming ; Richard Cornw a ll an d Ann Gates, fo r highway robbery ; William Whalley, for secreting a lett er cantaining .5/.; Thomas King, for horse stealing ; John Coldough, for personating a pensioner to Mary Watson and A nn G ates p l ea ded (we b e li eve) preg nancyy; and J. Clarke, for abettting Colclough. obtain prize -money ; in stay of execution. Four prisoners were sentenced to transportation for life, and 46 for seven years ; 3to whipping ; 2 to whipping and im prisonment ; and 78 to various terms of imprisonment and hard labour, and minor punishments. MR. HAMILTON'S APPEAL. The HAMILTONIAN SysTr.st - ins now been be fore the public above nine monCts. The number of pupils formed by Mr. HAMILTON and his part ners, or others who have taught on the system, exceeds 1,000. Its principles have been deve loped, and its efficacy exemplified, in 30 public lectures. A specified and positive degree of pro ficiency was promised in every instance by the teacher, and paid for in advance, as the infallible result of a certain number of lessons ; and yet no reclamation, no complaint, has hitherto been beard of on the part of the pupils—no instance of failure pointed out by the host of enemies its success has created. Public testimonies of the most unqua lified approbation have been offered by Mr. Ha milton's classes, until it was supposed no further doubt could remain in any rational and candid mind of the reality of the effects ascribed to it.— These facts are of public notoriety, and are surely a sufficient answer to the cavils of ignorance, jealousy, or self-interest. Besides, Mr. Hamil ton's pupils are of age ; they are generally per sons of education and respectability, and many of high rank ; they can surely judge for themselves, whether or not they have derived and continue to derive from Mr. Hamilton's instruction all the benefits he had promised. If not, can it be be lieved that they would wink at delusion, and not only suffer themselves to be defrauded with im punity, but continue to pay, section after section, in advance, to promote the interests of an indi vidual whom they had never seen before ? Among the opponents to the Hamiltonian system are two young men, one named Corny, who styles himself the Champion of the Greenwich Schoolmasters, and a Mr. Hartnol. Mr. Hamil ton is pleased to perceive they have given up the ungentlemanly practice of interrupting his public lectures, and offer themselves to the notice of the public as authors , rather than as rioters. They are now so perfectly harmless, that Mr. Hamil ton is willing that their pamphlets should reach their destination without any comment of his, except one line—not, indeed, theirs, but Radon villier's, a sensible writer on education, who, as well as Locke, Dumarsais, and others, saw ob scurely the Hamiltonian system. How far they were from executing what they believed possible —how far what was then and is yet called literal and interlineary translation differs from the ana lytical translations introduced by Mr. Hamil ton, a short comment on this line will suffi ciently show;--besides the inaccuracy of their ideas of translation, these gentlemen did not see the abuse, the perversion of reason and justice already introduced and universally practised in their times, of ordering to learn, instead of teach ing. This is the great principle of the Hamil tonian sytem—analytical translation and repeti tion are its handmaids : " Let the mother make the boy read the Evangelists in Latin two or three hours in a day," &c., says Locke. Had he said, " Let the mother (or the teacher) read for the boy," Locke would have been the author of the Hamiltonian system. The line alluded to, with its translation, runs thus : " A principio reges habuere urbem Romnm. "Au commencement des rois eurent la ville de Rome." A is not au, but des ; a is a preposition govern ing the ablative ; au is the dative case of the de finite article : the word principio is therefore translated by a dative case, and not by an abla tive, as it ought : reges is rois, and net des rois; urbem is vale, and not la ville ; Romam is Rome the accusative case, and not de Rome the geni tive : so that of six words which compose the line, five are incorrectly translated. But if the two teachers, or champions of the Greenwich Schoolmasters, who have cited the line so triumph antly in their pamphlets, are ignorant of French and Latin, as well as of the nature of analytical translation, their knowledge of arithmetic is un questionable. Ten thousand words, said to be learned in ten lessons, of one hour each, they rightly calculate make sixteen a minute, which they,assert is impossible ; and in this they are joined by a gentleman of equal genius and learn ing with themselves—the Editor of the Metropo. litan Literary (Monthly) Journal. It is true, 1,000 persons in London assert that they have actually learnt these 10,000 words—that is, the whole of the Gospel of St. John, comprehending the inflections of the verbs—in ten lessons, thus fulfilling Mr. Hamilt on ' s pre di ct i on an d engage ment. Whom are we to believe ? One thousand persons wholly disinterested, or interested only in detecting delusion if any ; or the Greenwich Schoolmasters, and their Champion, interested only in the success of their craft ? But the Ho- library Secretary of the Metropolitan Literary , Society is not to be thus dismissed. This gentle man, in a critique of eleven octavo pages, uses language in praise of the Hamiltonian system, more strong and decisive than its author has ever done. He assures us, " that it is not only essen tially good, but that it will ultimately super sede the present mode of teaching practised in our schools; that it will, that it must, be adopted by those who are not wholly blind to their ow❑ interest and to the benefits which it confers ;" and yet blames in terms equally strong the mode in which it has been introduced to the public : " pulling," 66 exaggeration," 66 empyricism" are the expressions he applies to it. It way be asked by what species of metaphysical transmutation• it happens, that the eulogium of a critic by no means friendly to the author, should be only the tribute of strict impartial justice in his mouth, and yet become downright puffing and quackery when used by him who during eight years had witness ed its effects. If truth be puffing, Hamilton has puffed ; if truth be empyricism, Hamilton is an empyric; but if falsehood only renders men justly liable to these imputations, it was incumbent on Mr. Jennings to prove the falsehood before he made them. But though Mr. Jennings admits the citadel of this system (to use his own lan guage) to be " impregnable," he contends that some of the outworks are untenable. For ex ample, Mr. Hamilton asserts that though some words in all languages may have two or three meanings, yet that, as a general rule, one word has but one meaning, and can be correctly trans lated into another language by one word only. The Honorary Secretary here exclaims—" Surely Mr. Hamilton does not mean to aver that coup and lumier•e have each but one meaning —that lepus, which C implies' a hare, and wit, has l but one m e a n i ng ?" C oup means a b low , a nd lumicre light, an d no thi ng e l se ; but 1"r; Jennings, who, if ever h e k new any t hi ng of ail language, translates it only a coups de dictionnak e l has mistaken idiomatic phrases for the meaning of words. He is yet more unlucky in Latin; Lepus does not " imply," but means a hare, an“ never wit. Will it be believed that an Honorary Secretary of a literary society, the Editor of a Lite rary Journal which appears once a month, in th e discussion of a philological question, confound s lepus with l e p os , an d h av i ng b ut two wor d s °, Latin to write, wholly mistakes the meaning 0 one of them ? Has he never read In sylvis leports inverbis qua]re lepores Mr. Jennings is not con' tent thus to expose his ignorance of French a lai Latin, he must bring in the Greek too ; but m ore cautious—he speaks only of the alphabet, %%hid' he first assures us is not taught on the Hainii" tonian system. Finding out his mistake by look" ing over the Greek key, he thinks it necessary to say something of the translation ; and citing 01 11 1 five or six words, has contrived to render his ig: norance of this language as palpable as he had already made it in the Latin and French. It may excite surprise that the author of the Hata' tonian System should enter the list with such puny opponents. He regrets that none more for midable have presented themselves. It was ne cessary, once for all, to notice them, lest a should be supposed that an objection had been brought against the system which could not be instantrine. ously obviated; henceforth, satisfied with the patronage of an enlightened community, and the continually increasing popularity of his system, the author intends to pursue his professional la bours, without adverting to the frothy declama tions of conceited ignorance, or the peevish per sonalities of interested malignity. TM: LATE Mn. HARRIS AND SOPHIA. STOW" —An altercation has for several days past existed between the committee of the unfortunate Barris and the parochial officers of Beddington,as to w hich party was liable to pay the expeuces incurred there by the lamentable affair. It appears that after the coroner's jury had returned their vet' diet, they sat down to a dinner; for which wits charged ss. per head. The committee have re fused to pay this expence, on the grounds of its being not only an exorbitant, but an illegal charge, according to the law relative to coroner's inquests, which only awards 4d. to each jury man. The committee have also rej e cted paying the expences incurred at Mr. George's, the Plough, by Sophia Stocks, and contend that the whole amount should fall upon the parish, 0 5 in all other cases of accident. The parish officers, however, are of a different opinion, and are de termined to enforce the payment of the bill from the committee, and have refused to give up the watch and pencil case belonging to Mr. Rich mond, the clerk at Bow-street, and also the duplicate of Mr. Harris's watch, which was pledged for 61.105. at a pawnbroker's in Prince's street, Soho, and was found in his pocket.-- Sophia Stocks still remains at the Plough ; she Is fast recovering, and Mr. Weaver, the surgeon, in Blackmoor-street, Clare-market, and Mr. Wal lace, of Croydon, have given it as their joint opinion that she can be removed with safety.

SOUTIMAILIC, JUNE 7.—The hop trade is totally at a stand, and the prices merely nominal, so that we cannot quote then: with any correctness. The duty is at 120,0001. MAIDSTONE, JUNE 7.—Since our last the Hop plantations generally have altered for the worse ; the bine has grown but very little for the last four or five days, it is now turn ing yellow, and has a sickly appearance ; the fly keeps in creasing, and we now feel pretty confident a great deal of the weakly bine has not sufficient strength to rally after a blight; the flea is still doing mischief, and in some places the honey dew appears. We have now a more unfavourable:opinion than we have had heretofore. WORCESTER.—OnWaIUrday 183 pockets of Hops were weighed in our market. There is much inquiry after IBl9's and 1822's and the prices are looking up.
