HANOVER.

The rupture between the government of Hanover
and the chambers now appears to be a fait accom-
pli. At the sitting of the 2d, the second chamber
voted tbe budget of finance in the state in which
it had been completely transformed by the com-
mittee. The Minister, M. de Borries, declared
that he gave up all hopes of being able to bring
about any accord between the crown and the
chamber, and demanded that a protest against
what had taken place should be inserted on the
minutes of the sitting, to serve as a justification in
certain eventualities. The eventualities alluded
to are connected with the direct intervention of
the Germanic Diet in the political affairs of
Hanover.

The next meeting of the Association is likely,
it will be seen, to take place at Manchester while
the Exhibition of Art Treasures in that great
commercial city is open. The propriety of such
a selection is so obvious as to call for little re-
mark, and the period, we must add, is no less
happily chosen. Science is a universal benefactor,
and without its discoveries we should have heard
little of the progress of Art. It is but right and
proper that in a city which owes its greatness to
so large an extent to the discoveries of Science, its
disciples should be welcomed with distinction,
and no better opportunity could offer for such a
reception than during the high festival of Art
for which preparation is now being made. With-
out the head the hand would be of little avail, as
without the hand the discoveries of the head
would. be comparatively valueless. Art and Science
are members of one body, and but fulfil a natural
law when they mutually honour one another.
From this visit may fairly be anticipated a more
practical direction being given to the pursuit of
science, and a more enlarged and intelligent spirit
being brought to bear ou the operations of Art,
to the advantage of the entire community.

BERLIN, AUGUST 6.

Intelligence has arrived here that the English
fleet which remained in the East has received
orders to concentrate its force in the Black Sea to
superintend the execution of Article 20 of the
Treaty of Peace, not yet carried into effect in
consequence of the non-restoration of Kars and of
the occupation of the Isle of Serpents by the
Russians.

Letters from St. Petersburg state that M. de
Boutenieff is invested with full powers to arrange,
on his arrival at Constantinople, the differences
which have arisen relative to the Isle of Serpents.

The Boersenhalle of Hamburg says :—" The
last accounts which have reached the ministry of
war of Russia state that Sefer Pacha has not thought
proper to obey the injunctions of the Porte ; he
still maintains himself at Amps, with a numerous
corps of cavalry, and makes excursions in the
neighbourhood. It is. thought that General Mou-
ravieff will soon direct an attack against the Cau-
casian army commanded by Sefer, and the reduc-
tion of Anapa will depend ou the result of that
attack."

The Russian authorities have resumed the ex-
ercise of their functions throughout the whole
extent of the Crimea.

HAMBURG, AUG. 5.
Lord Granville left Kiel yesterday for St.
Petersburg in an English line-of-battle ship.

connected with a very interesting affair. You are
aware thatthere is there the young Princess Maria
Amelia, horn on the 20th November, 1834, and
sister of the Regent and of the Princess Cecilia.
A marriage might possibly be arranged between
these august parties.

FRANCE.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

The Emperor (says the ?vloniteur) on the eve of
his departure from Plombieres, invited the prin-
cipal visitors to a soiree on Monday evening. M.
Vivier, the celebrated horn-player, played and
afterwards sang, and the entertainment was pro-
longed until midnight. His Majesty is in excel-
lent health.

Prince Jerome, having postponed his visit to
Havre in consequence of the great heat, has left
Villegenis to take up his residence at the Palace of
Meudon.

" In the expectation of the arrival of Marshal
Pelissier in Paris on Friday, the Bth," says the
Moniteur de l' Armee, " orders have been given to
all the general officers of the army of Paris to pro-
ceed on that day to the terminus of the Strasburg
Railway to receive him on his arrival."
From a paragraph in the Moniteur, it would
appear that the. despatch from Marseilles which
stated that Marshal Pelissier had been ordered by
telegraph to immediately wait on the Emperor
was not altogether correct. " The marshal," says
the official journal, "learning that the stay of the
Emperor at Plombieres was to be prolonged to the
Bth, requested permission to go and present his
respects to his Majesty before coming to Paris.
This favour was accorded."

The R.Y.S. Bdl ea Friday is expected to be ♦ery
fully attended.

The grand match of the season is to come off on Mon.
day next, and is open tl yachts of any club. Several of
the best yachts in England are expected to be entered.
The Town Amusements also take place on Monday.
Bowing matches, sailing matches, duck hunts, &c., &c.,
out of number, are promised. There is something to
pease every one that ever was or ever will be pleased.

ROYAL StTRI:EY GARDENS.—At this season of the
year when our neighbours are in search of amusement
we would recommend them to pay a visit to the Royal
Sarrey Gardens, where, in addition to Jullien's splendid
orchestral band, they may have the additional pleasure
of hearing Madame Clara Novelle, Miss Dolby, Madame
Rudersdorff, Maclaine Gassier, Sims Reeves, Weise,
with the prineipal musical talent of the metropoli,.. The
arrangements which are made to accommodate the public
within the gardens are of first-rate character, and de-
serve equal praise and patronage ; iudeel we know of no
place in London where an evening may be spent with so
much satisfaction, and where the young and the aged
may alike feel gratified with the choice of amusement
which M. Jullien has provided for them.
HOP INTELLIGENCE.—The recent very fine weather
has caused the hopeto make rapid progress during the
last week in all the hop districts, both in East and West
Kent, the weak bines having gained considerably in
strength ; and although in some grounds there is
vermin and slight appearance of mould, there is no-
thing much yet to hurt. The burr is showing itself
plentifully where the bine is strong and forward, and
there is every appearance of a good crop. The warm
genial weather has caused great improvement in the hop
plant generally throughout Sussex ; the forward sorts
are well set with burr, and in some few cases the hops
are making their appearance. A branCh of fine hens from
a garden in Ticehurat was produced last week, being a
specimen of snoerior management. Hops were on Fri-
day last also seen from a ground in the neighbourhood of
Canterbury. Upon the whole the prospects are more
promising than they were. The duty within the last few,
days has gone up considerably; it is now set at 220,0001.,
with an upward tendency, many, wears informed, back-
ing 230,0001. If the fine weather should continue a fort-
night longer the crop must be greater than calculated on
by some; we still adhere to the opinion that 230,0001.
or 241,0001. duty, as some talk of, is overset.—Kentish,
Gazette.—lt would scarcely have been possible for the
weather to be better than of late for the growth of hops.
The burr is now fast coming out into hop, and the '
plants thrive amazingly. The crop is certainly not
likely to be so large as that of last year, but there is
every appearance of its being far above the average ;
and this can now be relied on with the greater con&
dence, as there is ncOonger anything to fear with the
exception of -mould. From nearly all the other hep-
,growing.disitiotta of West and East Kent, and-from Stiki-
sex and Surrey, the reports forwarded by "our corres-
pcndeats are so similar to the above that it would be but
