Souris WAR st, Avo. 21.—There have been about
(250 pockets of new Hops at market ; the samples, ge-
nerally speaking, are pretty fine and good for first
pickings; some few are mouldy, end they are offering
them at Pl. but the current prices are from 141. to
161.1165. We are sorry to say we have not a brisk sale
fbr them. Yearling Hops ara full 40s. per cwt. lower
than they were A - fortnight since. The duty is at
135,0001.

MAIDSTONE, ADO. Qt.—Hop-picking bar generally
cainnieneed in this neighhourbood, and the report i::,
that they come down very well and weigh heavy ; the
red mould is iapi Ily spreading in some grounds, which
occasions many pkuters to begin picking earlier than
they would have dune, but in most places they impra:e.
both in quality and size. The number of hands
employed is, we believe, beyond all precedent ; some
idea of which may be formed, when we state, that Mr.
Ellis alone has upwares of x,500 pickers engaged in his
plantations. 'lle roaes, during the last week, have
been swanning with them, many of. wham have COM?.
from the remotest parts of Ea gland for dais purpow.
The Hops on the Continent are said to look very bad,
And have every appearance of growing but. a 'Luisa
quantity.
NonTuttst, Suisrx, Ave. 24.-,-Hap-picking ha:
commenced, and will become general in this neighbJux.
hood in the course of the week.

AIX-LA-CHAPELLE.—This place, which the Allied
Sovereigns have selected as the place of holding the
Royal and Imperial Congress, is alarge, handsome, and
once strongly tbrtified town of Germany, in the circle
of Westphalia, and is included in the new territorial
.acquisitions of Prussia. It was formerly a free Impe.
rial City, slid the Emperor CharleMaome was so de-
lighted with the beauty of the place, thate he chose it.
for his residence. He is interred in the church of ND-.
tre Dame, wher: his sword, his belt, and volume of
the Four Evangelists, written in letters of gold, all
which were made use of at the Coronation of the
perm's, are carefully preserved. Its famous mineral
waters draw a great number. of persons to the place
every year. In 1668 and 1748, it moat distinguished
by two celebrated Treaties of Peace. It is seated- in a
valley, nearly tuorrounded by mountains, and its castle
stands upon an adjoining hill, from which sixty towns
or cities, the sea, and. even England, may be seen in
clear day. The city contains thirty parish churches,.
and a splendid market place, which was known to the
Romans by the name of Aqux-Gronii. It was destroyed
by the Huns in 451, lint repaired, •beautified and
enlarged by the Emperor Charlemagne, who for a time
made it his capital.
The last accounts from Algiers state, that the plag:.:e.
has so horribly depopulated the place; that the new
Dey has commanded that all unmarried men, above 20
years of age, shall be conducted to the public place, 8,33
amply gratified with the hastinado, to give them a de-
sire for wedlock ! This tvins a prelude to a new ear-
pire oaf women among the Barbarians.
,A massy piece of plate, sss .much as three men can
carry, arrived at Plymouth. last week, which. was or-
dered by the Captains and Commanders of the several
ships and vetsels engaged in- the memorable battle at
Algiers. It. has been presented to Lord Exmouth, ar.l
will be exhibited at the_next anniversary dinner.
