ALTERATION OF THE, HOP DUTY.

. .
On Tuesday afternoon a very t umerous and influential
meeting of hop-planters was held at the Star Hotel,
Maidstone, to take into consideration the propriety of
petitioning the Chancellor of the Exchequer for an acre-
age duty, instead of the present excise duty. Mr. Elvey
occupied the chair, and there were about 150 hop-
growers present.
Mi.-MONCICTON, of Ma'rden, stated that the planters
generally felt that they were unjustly taxed, and it had
been thought a Ivisable to petition the Chancellor of the
Exchequer to commute the present payment for an acre-
age duty of 31. At this moment the hop grivi4r4 were
paying a larger sum per annum in the shape of duty than
the profits arising from their plantations justified, and
they complained that the duty was levied in an unequal
manner. Many persons were in favour of free trade in
bops,; but he contended that it would be ruinous to the
planters of this country to throw open the markets and
I encourage unlimited competition on the part of the fertile
plantations on the. Continent.. At the present moment
the hop duty was estimated to produce 200,000/., and if
the duty was commuted to Si. per acre, he believed that
the cultivation of hops would, be increased, and that in
point of fact the revenue would sustain no loss.
Mr. HENHAM proposed the follewing resolution
That this meeting is of opinion that it would be con-
,ducive to the interests of the planters to petition the
Chancellor of the Exchequer for an acreage duty of 3i.
per acre, in lieu of the'present excise duty,"
After considerable discussion, Mr. L. LUCAS moved
the following amendment :—That this meeting does not
consider it expedient to agitate for an acreage duty on
hops."
The CHAIRMAN put the amendment, which was nega-
tived, 'and the original 'resolution having been agreed to,
the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

NEW READING-ROOM AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—
We understand from good authority that the prmont
reading.roonus of the British Museum will not he used
for the purposes of study after the 30th inst. During
the first week in May, when the Museum will be closed
as usual, the library of reference will be removed from
its present locality to the new reading-room ; and, in
order to avoid unnecessary interruption while this °Pe'
ration is being carried on, no strangers will be admitted
d
to the libraries for any purpose whatever. On the 8t
of May the new reading-room will be thrown opsit en to
the public generally, who will be allowed to vi
freely until the 16th, after which day it will be devoted
exclusively to the use of the readers. This arrangement
will involve the loss of a few days to students, but it is
anticipated that it will. afford much gratification to mui.
titudes who would otherwise have little chance of seeing
a building of which competent judges say the nation
ought to he proud. As the entrance t') the new reading-
room is through the front ball, it will be necessary that
readers should bring their tickets of admission with them
- until they have become 1010Wla to the doorkeepers.

our consular agents • and that
" 3. These regulations are to remain in force only

THE OMNIBUS MONOPOLY.

The omnibus monopoly is becoming a perfect
nuisance to 'the public. A French company has
got possession of every route through the metro-
polis, upon the distinct promises that there should
be decided improvement in the carriages, civility ou
the pare of the servants, and punctuality in the
performance of the journey—not one of which has
been fulfilled. Not only hi.ve they retained all the
old and worn-out carriages, but the servants,have
become proverbial for their incivility ; and when
once a poor unfortunate passenger has been shoved
head foremost into the dirty frowsy interior, he
has no assurance that he will ever get to the end of
his journey, and most certainly if he has made an
appointment he will have no chance of keeping it.
But this is not all. The company, being in posses-
sion of every line, has resolved there shall be no.
competition. Any private proprietor who has the
hardihood to venture upon sending out an omnibus
may rest satisfied ghat no peace will be al'owed him,
and that not a passenger will be permitted to enter
conveyance, if it be possible to prevent it. The
old system, as it is called, of " nursing" has been
revived, which means that two omnibuses belonging
to the company are put on immediately, the one to
precede, and the other to follow, the opposition
vehicle, and to PO great an extent has this
species of intolerable tyranny proceeded 'that the
driver is allowed no rest whatever. If he goes
to the stables to put up his horses, tb.e rival om-
nibuses accompany him. As soon as he starts they
are after and upon him, whilst he is loaded with
a torrent of that language which is unfortunately
so familiar to the ears of the travellers in omni-
buses, and is not unfrequently of such a character
that ladies dare scarcely venture to 'ravel by these
public conveyances. So far, indeed, has the sys-
tem of "nursing" prOceeded, that we have it on
the assurance of a moat trustworthy correspon-
dent, that the omnibus which has been put on the
Holloway-road by the Metropolitan Saloon Com-
pany, at the request of the inhahitants, having
required a slight alteration in the springs, was
driven the other day to a respectable coachmaker's
in Drury-lane, and although this is out of the
route of any omnibus, was followed thither by
one of the London Company's carriages, which
stopped till it started, and followed it wherever it
went. The driver being expostulated with declared
that he had no alternative, 'for if he did not
" nurse" his rival, he would be sure to be turned
out of his situation.

Such conduct as this is decidedly in utter con-
travention of the law, no less than against the very
sprit of fair and honest dealing. It is bad enough
for the pulilic. to have nothing but wretched ac-
commodation from this monopoly ; but such a
course of conduct as that we have described is al-
together intolerable.—Morning paper.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 11th relate that the
ceremonies of Passion Week bad been celebrated
with the usual pomp in all the churches, but that
the Queen, as had been announced, took no part
in them ; the King, however, on Good Friday went
on foot to the church of Calatrava, wearing the
decorations of the order of that name. On Holy
Thursday and Good Friday no vehicles of any kiud
were allowed to appear, and on the latter day a
magnificent procession of the clergy paraded the
principal streets, a vast crowd assembling to wit-
ness it. The greatest activity prevails in the diffe-
rent Government offices in preparing bills for the
approaching session. The Government has re-
quested the bishops to inform their clergy that
there was a great want of priests in Porto Rico,
and that it would give a gratuitous passage to any
who might be willing to go there. A royal decree
enacts that captains-general of provinces should give
every facility to the deputies of the Cortes proceed-
ing to Madrid to attend the opening of the session
on Ist May. A letter from Cuba states that an
immense quantity of guano was supposed to exist
in the southern part of the island, and that a com-
mission had been sent to examine it.

Accounts have been received from the Sandwich
and Society Islands, via San Francisco, where the
Embuscade French corvette arrived on Feb. 22
from those Islands. She had on board as passenger
Captain Rey, ex-governor ad interim, of Taiii.
'The corvette Eurydice had arrived at Honolulu
from Taiti on the 30th January. This vessel
brought from Callao to Taiti Governor de Bouzet,
who had been recalled to France to take his trial
for the loss of the Aventure corvette. Ide was
honourably acquitted and sent back to his post.

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1857

What will Lord JOHN RUSSELL do ? He is not
exactly hostile to Lord PALMERSTON, but ho is
not easy as his independent supporter. If two
could ride before on the same horse he would
willingly join him on those terms ; but this being
impossible, how can Lord JOHN contrive to oc-
cupy the first place in a Parliament elected to
support the foreign policy of his political superior.
He knows Lord PALMERSTON too well to imagine
that he can be easily tripped up. The League,
the Conservatives, and the Peelitcs tried it,
and were rewarded with a penal dis-
solution, and decimation or extinction. It is
perfectly certain that the ex-Premier might try in
vain to eject the in-Premier. Lord PALMERSTON
would bid as high as his antagonist for popular
fayour, were that necessary, rather than be out-
done ; and, as to working the different sections of
the House, one against the other—now beating
Liberals by Tory aid, and now Tories by Liberal
aid—the country has had enough of that. Repeti-
tion of it will disgust the nation, and render the ma-
jority of the House discontented with a leader who
makes fools of them all by turns. We should
think, therefore, Lord PalauzusTorr must lead the
Liberal party, and must so manage it as to secure
its loyalty. He sees that he has got a house of
Reformers ; he sees that the question of Reform
cannot be evaded, and he will meet it—but how 7
That is the question. With Lord JOHN RUS-
SELL, or in opposition to him ? With a minimum
makeshift, or a bold hearty measure ? This Ses-
sion or the next ?
The time must depend very much on the tem-
per of the House and of the country. His senti.
ments he can hardly escape avowing this. year.
Whether in any case he could be induced to act
is uncertain. We should say, by all means let
him be pressed to come out at once. Reformers
never yet gained anything by sparing a Ministry.
If Members of our new Parliament do not force
the Government to declare itself, they will lose
the confidence of the country, and weaken
their position as Reformers in the House also.
If Lord PALMERSTON means t) stand through a
manly Reform policy, his friends will beEt aid him
by showing all the waverers that this must be hi s
course, and that they mean it to be the winning
side. If such be not his policy, we trust a liberal
Parliament will not hesitate to give him notice to
Reform or quit.
Next as to Lord Jourr RUSSELL. Will the two
Lords bid against one another or coalesce ? We do

ALTERATION OF THE HOP DUTY.

On Tuesday afternoon a very r umerous and influential
meeting of hop-planters was held at the Star Hotel,
Maidstone, to take into consideration the propriety of
petitioning the Chancellor of the Exchequer for an acre-
age duty, instead of the present excise duty. Mr. Elvey
occupied the chair, and there were about 150 hop.
growers present.
Mr. MorrcilTorr, of Marden, stated that the planters
generally felt that they were unjustly taxed, and it had
been thought advisable to petition the Chancellor of the
Exchequer to commute the present payment for an acre-
age duty of 31. At this moment the hop growers were
paying a larger sum per annum in the shape of duty than
the profits arising from their plantations justified, and
they complained that the duty was levied in an unequal
manner. Many persons were is favour of free trade in
hops ; but he contended that it would be ruinous to the
planters of this country to throw open the markets and
encourage unlimited competition on the part of the fertile
plantations on the. Continent. At the present moment
the bop duty was estimated to produce 200,0001., and if
the duty was commuted to 31. per acre, he believed that
the cultivation of hops would be increased, and that in
point of fact the revenue would sustain no loss.
Mr.. BENHAM proposed the following resolution :
"That this meeting is of opinion that it would be con-
ducive to the interests of the planters to petition the
Chancellor of the Exchequer for an acreage duty of 31.
per acre, in lieu of the present excise duty."
After considerable discussion, Mr. L. LUCAS moved
the following amendment :—That this meeting does not
consider it expedient to agitate for an acreage duty on
hop'."
The CHAIRMAN put the amendment, which was nega-
' tived; and the original resolution having been agreed to,
the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

NEW READING-ROOM AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—
We understand from good authority that the present
reading-rooms of the British Museum will not be used
for the purposes of study after the 30th inst. During
the first week in May, when the Museum will be closed
as usual, the library of reference will be removed from
its present locality to the new reading-room ; and, in
order to avoid unnecessary interruption while this ope-
ration is being carried on, no strangers will be admitted
to the libraries for any. purpose whatever. On thent
of May the new reading-room will be thrown ope.to
the public generally, who will be allowed to v -t.
freely until the 16th, after which day it will be devotes
exclusively to the use of the readers. This arrangement
will involve the loss of a few days to student!, but
it is
anticipated that.it will afford much gratification to mul-
titudes who would otherwise have little chance of seeing
a building of which competent judges say the nation
ought to be proud. As the entrance to the new reading.
room is through the front ball, it will be necessary that
readers should bring their tickets of admission with them
until they have become known to the doorkeepers.
