MAIDSToNE, SEPT. 21.--The Hop picking is
now tar -advanced, and most of the grounds in
this neighbourhood will be finished this week ; the
wind dnring, the last few days has rather blown and
scattered them about, but not to materiully iujute
them. A great quantity of samples were shewn
in our Marker, on Thursday, most of which
were of a superior quality, but the sale, was
dull and prices lower than the preceding week,
some Pockets fetched 81. 10s. and Bags 71. 10s.
The quantity of Hops-in the Borough, during the
last week, we understand, exceeded every thing of
the kind remembered, and the demand not being
equal to the supply, has occasioned the depression
in price : this is to be attributed to more than
one cause, viz. first, owing to the very early pick-
ing, the buyers from the %Vest of England have
not yet arrived to purchase their usual con-
sumption ; - secondly, the brewers have agreed
among themselves not to lay in their stock at pre-
sent ; and thirdly, the immense quantities that are
daily pouring into the Market front all par.v.:and
the eagerness which the Planters evince to sell at
almost any price. These are the chief causes of
the 'present depressed state of the marker, but
when the supply becomes more regular the prices
ate expected to be considerably better.—(Maid-
stone Journal, Sept. 22.)

NATIONAL EDucaTtisN.—Thursday being the
day appointed for the Annual Meeting of the So-
ciety fur the Education of the Children of the
Poor, a very . numerous and respectable assent-
bly of Ladies and Gentlemen met at the Na-
tional Schools in Canterbury. The Archhishop
of Canterbury took the chair at twelve o'clock,
and imMeriiately proceeded to the tisual-busineis
of the day, which being finished, his Grave
called upon a class of the children in each
school to repeat a lesson. At fist thought it
seems to he lamented that his Gracie's annual
visit to Canterbury. is necessafily fixed •at a time
when it is not possible to have the attendance
of many of the children, and they who do at-
tend, cannot be prepars:l for examination, not
having met together for several weeks. But even
this circumstance is tound to have its advantages,
and it gives an opportunity of ascertaining, whether
what the chiluren "have learned is firmly fixed
in their minds—or like every thing else that is
taught Superficially, "bath been soon dissipated.—
The. little folks acquitted themselves to the entire
satisfaction of his Grace, and the whole com-
pany of specOtors, who all declared that they
could not have expected them to have been more
perfect if they bad been at school every day since
their holidays began. It may not be impro-
per to remark, that the subjects thus deeply
im-
pressed on their yonng minds, are religious duties
drawn' front the Holy Scriptures.—(kaidstone
Journal„,sept. 22.)

On Monday night t wo of the gang about Wal•
worth were apprehended in an empty cart, near
the lion:. Glass Villa Row ; their implements,
consisting of a crow-bar, tennant-saw, &c. were
found in an empty house near that place. Their
lodgings were H Red Licm-court, Tooley-street,
where a part of the booty was found and recognizett
by its owners. Last night, between eleven aod.
twelve o'clock, an attempt was made on the house
of Mr. Warner, and also at Mr. Gordon's, Apollo-
buildings, East-street, Walworth ; but .owing Its
the vigilance of the watchman on that walk, wha
alarmed Mr. GA family by ringing the hell, the
villains, after opening one door, barely escaped
through another.
On Thrirslay morning last,' an athletic man,
dressed in female apparel, was apprehended in this
city. The Preceding night, lie took a lodging in
St.olave-street, at the house of au elderly wo-
man, and 'stared to her that he as not one of the
fair sex I The reason he assigned for being thus
disguised was, that he had been robbed of his own
clothes, and supplied with female garments by
some ladies, immediately alter the robbery On his
person had been committed, to supply the place
of those which had been taken from him. The
old lady communicated the story that had been
imparted to her, as to her lodger being metamor-
phosed, to a iumale who lodged in the house,
who immediately trumped up a tale, which in-
ctueed the stranger to engage another lodging
which she bad recommended to_him. Early the
tollowingniorning, the Mayor's porter (who hail
been made acquainted with the circtimstances its
which this womao tint been engagen),with sevet al'
,persOni, went to the lodgings of the stran,;e cha-
