HOP INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHWAUK, • DEC. 11 .-There were some
sales made last week, but at such, low prices as
we had not before witnessed—good well managed.
Kent-Pockets at 50s. to 565. and Sussek 455. to
535. The amount of the I)uty has been the cau.e
of our prices falling so much.
MAIDSTONE, Dtc. 7.—We have a still fur.
titer decline in the price of Hops—two or three
parcels of very choice Middle Kent Bags Ivere
sold at from 575. to 605.; low Bags from 325, to
425.; middling, 455. to 51s.—Middle Kent Pockets
may be quoted from 525. to 60s. according to
quality-. In Weald of Kent's we do not hear, of
any thing being done. Sussex Pockets have for
some weeks past been unsaleable.

A liberal subscription has been entered into at
Harwich, under the patronage, of the Mayor of
that port, for the philanthropic purpose of build-
ing-a life-boat, • for the preservation of seamen,
in case of accident off that coast.

sion ; bnt the, case here supposed; is one which, • for the gra.
tification of a passion the roost diabolical, plants in the
breast of another the most rankling wound. This is the
act not of a female but of a fiend-. Again, the females
of Blitalit have a right to demand from their Queen, an •
example, if not of eminent virtue, yet, at least, of de-
cency; but the very supposition here is, that all decency was
shaken oil'; for appatenf indecency of conduct is stated to have
been adopted by the Queen, for the express purpose of mak-
icg ti' tiers believe her evety.thing that was infamous! Let us
soppose such conduct to be adopted in common life. Let us
figqre to ourselves the daughter of a respectable family

she was. as guilty as any of her associates; would any mo-
dest. woman afterwards look at or speak to such a disgrace
to lTee sex ? Wotild any body listen for a Moment to her
assertion, that she '' had taken right good care all the
tittle that •in thii there should not be the• least reality ?"
—'tiro things, !towered., are very. observable in this
• edioin defertee of her Majesty. First, , that it en-
• tieely exculpates the Ministers, and every bode that
reptitsented her to be gutty, because, on this supposition,
sae laboured to make them bclieVe so; their opinion was the
reason-able and proper inference from her actions, and if they
bid .s"t entertained it, she would have been disappointed in
the whole of her scheme. Consequently the clamour of con-
- soirtityagainst the Queen was most base, because (upon this,
supposition) she all along knew it to be.entii ely unjust, and
• v.-es indeed in a conspiracy herself to deceive her prosecutors
ant' alit whOle of the public. Secondly, this hypothesis coin-
p teteiy estab s the character of Demont, Majoechi,
dud the 'other witnesses for the Bill, who have been so
etattourousie vilified. The Queen's defender alleges,
that the most consionmate art and pains were taken to cre•
ate those very appearances to which' the witnesses depos-
ed. Consequently• we must 'believe- that the Queen was
• seen by (sae reaness stealing to her Courier's Iced-room, at
• Nap;es, sod another stealing from it at Catania : and those
poor people have beers burnt in Effgy for deputing to the situ.
,pP truth. The fact is, that the Editor of the Journal in
•-quessiorr is utterly •insensible td all moral distinction. Ife
tell right trout wrong, decency from indecency, pro-
