HOP INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER, Nov. 2.—The transactions in our Hop
market to-day have been rather limited, owing princi-
pally to the unfavourable state of the weather prevent-
ing the attendance of both buyers and sellers ; the
same cause also operated against the supply, which did
not exceed 500 pockets. The greater part of these
were sold at about last week's prices, but a few lots of
inferior quality were disposed of at a reduction of 2s. to
3s. per cwt. ; and the demand for such Hops is still
very slack. The number of pockets weighed to-day
was 476 of new, and 67 pockets of old Hops. In the
week 263 pockets of new, and 18 pockets of old hops
passed the scales. Present prices :—new, 455. to 745. ;
very choice, 80s. per cwt. ; 1837, 3.55. to 525. ; choice,
58s. ; 1836, 255. to 355.

SPECTACLES UPON A NEW CONSTRUCTION
FOR IMPERFECT SIGHT.—The numerous and very ill
effects which have daily come under the notice of the
Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists to
the Royal Family, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly,
and 96, Cheapside, from the use of improper Spec-
tacles, and being also incorrectly adapted to , vision
by inexperienced persons, have tended to injure tna
sight to an alarming extent. Messrs. Solomons, after
thirty years' extensive practice and experience,
have invented spectacle lenses, which will be found to
surpass anything of the kind yet laid before the public ;
they not only preserve the sight, but, immediately they
are placed before the itnperfect vision, either by day or
candlelight, the sight becomes cool and pleasant, and is
at once brought back to its natural and original state,
and the most minute particle is seen with exact distinct-
ness. The Messrs. Solomons' Voice Conduetor, for
deaf persons, is not the least perceptible, and gives im-
mediate relief. These new Inventions are patronised by
the Royal Family, and have the sanction and unqualified
approbation of the principal members of the medical pro-
fession. Testimonials from persons of the highest dis-
tinction are for inspection, who have had their sight
most seriously injured, and who have derived the greatest
invention.—

THALBERG'S CONCERT AT WINDSOR—IN-
TRODUCTION TO HER MAJESTY.--M. Thslherg gate
a morning concert at the public rooms, Windsor, on
Monday last, which was most numerously and fashion.
ably attended, all the leading families in the neighbour-
hood being present. The " great pianist" was assisted
by Mrs. A. Toulmin, Miss Lucombe, and Mr. J. Parry.
A considerable delay took place in the commencement
of the concert, and upon inquiry it was ascertained that
immediately upon Thalberg's arrival in Windsor (which
was only a few minutes before the hour fixed upon to
" open") her Majesty had despatched a messenger to
meet him, and to command his presence at the Castle.
Thalberg lost no time in obeying the Royal mandate,
and he was shortly afterwards ushered, for the first ,ime,
into the presence of her Majesty. He was then (after,
as we. are informed, striking a few notes on her Maj s-
ty's piano) oommand3cl to atten at the Castle on
the following evening (Tuesday last), when he had the
honour of performing some of his mo,t admired pro-.
hutore the 4,2ieeti. and the +:;101, (it her ,NlA-

JACK SHEPPARD.— The following compli-
mentary comment on this too notorious character is
made by a Contemporary. Jack's unpopularity with
the press is in the ratio of his play-house popularity :
—" To the shame and scandal of the era in which
we live, Jack Sheppard, or the ruffian of the rope,
continues to be the main source of attraction at
this theatre (the Adelphi). It is not too much to
say that there is not a single stage in the metropolis
on which Mr. Ainsworth's hero figures, that must
not be regarded as a Normal school leading to
the highest degree that can be conjectured in
front of the black battlements of Newgate. The
fine acting of Mrs. Keeley is applied to a most mischie-
vous purpose. for it partially redeems from rerobation
a wretch whose enormities are at last expiated on the
scaffold. The house was crowded in every part last
night, and it was disgusting to behold the example which
the fathers of families set to their wives, sons, and
dau; liters, by making them spectators of se,, impres-
sion which
140 pure mind could contemplate wish an!„ other
than that of loathing and Abhorrence.,
