HOP IN'T'ELLIGENCE.

SOUTHWARK, AUGUST 7.—We are doing little
or nothing in Hops (just) now, 'although the ac-
counts from the plantations come so bad and the
Duty is down to 70,00/.—No one seems to have
spirit enough to purchase.'
MArnsTox-r., AUG. 7.—The weather for some
days past has been extremely unfavourable for
the Hops, and in most of the grounds, the vermin
and wet has occasioned the plant to turn black.
In the Weald of Kent and Sussex we learn they
are even much worse, and on an average not
above a bag an acre is expected to be grown in
those parts.

APPREHENSION OF WADDlsoToN.—Yesterday

had been arranged, that the Address voted •to

her Majesty was to be taken by various trades-
men and artisans, to be presented at Branden-
burgh House. However, her Majesty's intention
of not receiving Addresses being made known,
(in consequence of the death of the Duchess of
York), it was deferred, and Waddington the
Radical, was seen at an early hour on Holborn-
hill, (the place appointed for the procession to
meet) with a large placard, announcing that the
procession was postponed. He was now taken
to St. Andrew's watch-house, and confined some
time, but was afterwards sent out without his
placard or pole, when he persisted in having it,
or being taken before a Magistrate. -The otecers
were about to take him to Guildhall, when the
confusion excited the attention of Alderman
Wool), who interfered, and the Radical hero
was liberated, on the officers being told that they
were not acting legally. It is the intention of
Waddiugton to proceed against the parties for
detaining property (his pole and placard) which
does not belong to them.

Letters from Copenhagen, received by the
Dutch mail, annourne the failure of Messis. ,
MEVER and THEY' ER, the well-known bankers in
that city, whose operations in loans with foreign
Governments have equalled those of any other
House on the Continent. The immediate cause
of this calamity is said to be the having engaged
in extensive shipments to India and China, on
which, from the glutted state of those markets,
loss of 50 Per cent. was sustained. The failure,
which is for about 200,0001. sterling, will be felt
in several other cities, but more particularly 'at
Hamburgh.

and novel effect. Dancing commenced about fen
o'clock; and was kept up with much spirit till a
late hour.
