MAIDSTONE, AUG. 25 —During the first
two or three days of the last week the Hops were getting
on, but towards the latter end they were at a stand still.
Some persons. were then very confident that the duty
would not much exceed 100,0001., but others were of
opinion that it was as likely to be 150,000/. or 200,0001.
Friday night was very injurious to the Hops, but
since that time the warm weather has caused a very
great change in their favour. It is now generally be-
lieved that if the appearance was as good in Sussex and
other parts as in this countp, the duty would certainly
reach 200,000/. The accounts from Sussex are not so
favourable. On the whole it is thought we shall not grow
so many hops as in 1826, hut some two or three parishes
in this neighbourhood, such as Farleigh, Chart, &c., will
have quite as good a crop as in that year. However, it
still all depends upon the weather, should warm weather
continue, the hops will increase,• but cold, chilly nights
will very much injure them.—Maidstone Journal.
BRUNSWICK CONSTITUTIONAL CLUB OF
IRELANn..:—Thank God that we have lived to see the for-
, matiou of this Club. Thank God the Protestants of Ire-
land have now a guiding star by Which their future pro-
gress may be regulated, and a power by which their eftirrts
may be rendered available. A Fund will be established for
the support of the poor, for the protection of the persecuted.
Clubs will he formed in every city, in every town—almost
in. every village; in Ireland. There is -no secret tie, no
sinister object. The support of " The Constitution, the
whole Constitution, and nothing but the Constitution,'
will be the end and aim of all. The " Brunswick Club"
will* communicate and co-operate with their brethren
throughout Ireland ; whilst those at a distance will have
the advantage of selecting their associates from their own
officers, and directed by their own laws and regulations.
Before the Ist of November a fund of 130,000/. will be at
the disposal of the Committee, and the Popish Rent and
the Popish demagogues will dwindle into their native in-
signiticance.—blin Evening Mail.

The only newspaper published at Naples is
chiefly filled with the movements of Sovereigns, and " Cu
rious Occurrentes," of which the following may serve as
an example :—lt related some time ago, that nn English
surgeon had killed his wife with a pokero, and then adds
as a note, " we do not know if this pokero be a domestic
or a surgical instrument."

The island of North Uist, one of the western
Hebrides, was surveyed by Mr. REID in 1802 or 1803
for Lord MACDONALD, and although not more than 12
miles long and 12 miles broad, was found to contain a
coast of eleven hundred miles—and the island of Benbi-
cula, lying to the south of it, not more than nine miles
long and eight broad, was found to possess a coast of about
four hundred and fifry miles.— Caledonian Mercury.
