SOUTHWARK, Nov. 12.—The demand for Hops is very.
much on the decline ; Middle Kent Hops of Dent quality are
not plentiful, consequently they support their prices.

LIME TIMES.
The French papers contain a vaiiety of reports
with respect to Greeks, Turks, and Russians, of
which, as one ,part.generally contradicts another,
we are under no necessity of adding-our refuta-
Nothing definite is, we believe, known
even. as to the state of the war in Turkey, or the
resources of the contenang parlies ;. and much
more are the 'intentions of Russia Veiled in ob-

there is.every reason to suppose that it would be
a very useful measure.

• [Nte.W TIMES.]
the rumours of war betiven Russia and tlu
Porte are revived in many of the German Papers ;
but much more reliance is to be. placed on
.the
letters from St. Petersburg, which continue to
maintain 'a confidence .in the preservation of
peace. It is probable that the Emperor Alex-
anctir: ends himseifin a situation of some. deli-
cagy with -regard to the general disposition
of* :his people. Excessive bigotry prevails
tht:Vigh. the, greater pak of the Russian Em-
pire : and the attachment of the great mass .of
the community to the Greek Church, animates
them ..to a crusade against. the oppressors of the
Greot. Christians. The Emperor himself is too
enlightened a man to think that religion is to be
propagated by the sword ; and he must be well
aware of the difficulties which would necessarily
arise from any attempt to disturb the balance of
power. At the same time it cannot be expected
of him violently to resist the general HMI of his
subjects,. coinciding us it does with the favourite.
plani of aggrandisement which have been che-
risho., for a .century by the Russian Cabinet.
`—A temporising policy is therefore almost a
matter of ' necessity to. this' Sovereign : and
we apprehend that he is not averse to pro-
longing' the negociations with Austria and Eng-
land 'for the maintenance of peace, while he

_ jests. A report prevailed at Vienna on the 26th
tilt: that Turkey herself had put an end to the
state of suspen'se by a sudden declaration of war ;
but little credit was given to the rumour, which
probably tascultogether unfounded.

• [nonNlNa rosT.]
We -find' by the French Papers to the 11th
inst., which arrived yesterday, that a report had
reached Vienna of 'czar having been declared by
the Grand Seignior against Russia. < The only
observation made by 'the Austrian (aiette on
the subject is—" that such 'a declaratiOn would,
on:the side of the J.lnssiatt Ministry, be the most
sure means of ending the neeociations ; as, in
that case, Russia must defend-hereelf." Whe-
ther this be meant as an insinuation that the re-1
ported
,Declaration had been procured through
.
the.intriggespf Rnssia, who,uriwilling tnetieoun-
ter the..reproaches. and direct.opposition of the
European Powers, and .yet bent on war, had used,
this expedient to attain her ends without incur-... 1
ring.any additional responsibility—or whether it
be,eztpressiye of the intention. of the AuStrian Court
to admit the validity of such a ujea, mid to ab-
stain from all interference in a war
,cominenced.
by the. Turks themselves, time alone can reveal.
We should incline to believe the latter ;',but iu
matters of this kind the d'eterminationsof Princes
depend so much on the measure of success, that
it would be idle to form any serious anticipations.
before knowing the result of the first military
operations.
..The intelligence which these Papers
communicate from Spain bears a less .gloomy
character than usual. The epidemy seemed af.
last to have exhausted its strength, and the cases
of recovery, increased. , .

• [MORNING HERALD.]
There, has been of late a great deal said, and
a great
,deal written, about the paying off, on
the part of the Government, of the four per
cents. and the five per cents. The four per
rents., amount to about.7o millions, and the five
per cents. to about 130 ; together 200 millions.
—There is an old adage, that " to say a thing,
and to
.do a thing, are two different thiugs."—.
In the fir-at pkce, with regard to the 4 per cents.
they are not yet at par ; therefore, the Policy of
paying 1001. for that which is not worth more
than,,96l. in the market, cannot enter into the con-

temptation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The 5 per cents, are little more than 10 per cent.
above. par ; thereforel' at present they are the
only stock that the Ministers can have any idea
of paying off. It •is not more .than two years
:.since the squie idea of paying, off the five per'
ceNst was broached" ;in the •newspapers, when
they at much about the present price: Ina-
mediatel; .t‘h.e public, took the alarm—and what
was. the con:.‘tonce ? The public sold their five
per cents., and wit-1 the money they purchased
1
into the three per ..'"u.qs4lvli.ch at that time were
purchased into the four
as' high as 84 they also
per •ceuts. ;.,and the,-resc.Alt wes,t that .five per
cents. in a. very sbcKt space OS time, fell: to a less
price than pax. . •

—Not being prepared for 'this "bfgh display
of virtue, we were led to suppose that the
pertinacity of the .Honorary Secretary and the
funddf .the..k!go,qati-pn had 'seine connection
with each 'others. Ans.:Ova therefore' Observed,- on
Monday last, 44 we presume all comes from the

subscriptions." For this wesUmption,hoWever,'
we are roundly rated by the Organ of the Bridge-
street Gang. " Upon what authority," qubti►"
he, " does the Editor [of The Chronicle] assert
that ' the funds' of the Association are applied
to Mr. Sharp's procecdings•against Mr. Phipps
It is hardly fair to ask us for• an authority for
what we only stated -as hypothetical. But 'the
organ of the Gang does not confine his displea-
sure to us. The sorry reception which the Hono-
rary Secretary's application, founded as it was on
fhe opinion of so learned a Counsel as Mr. Adol-
phus, met with from the Magistrates, has kindled
all his wrath. The Magistrates are charged with
having made irrelevant and impertinent remarks !
We beg pardon, the Reporters are supposed
to be the authors of irrelevant and iMpertinent
remarks themselves, and to have attributed them
to-the Magistrates ! But this disguise is easily
seen through.
