been minutely examined, the troops went through the ma-
noeuvres of a sham fight. A grand ball will be given this
evening in the mess-room, to which the Nepaulese Ambas-
sador is invited.

HOP INTELLIGENCE:WORCESTER, JUNE 26.—The
hop market is very quiet, very few hops of any kind having

mand. Prices are on the decline, and holders are anxious to
reduce their stocks. Prices—New Worcester, 110 s. to le6s. ;
