A memorial signed by a large number of the mnit
respectable hop-platers in Kent, is about to be pie.
sented to the Lords of the Treasury, in comer. uen-:••
of a rumour of an intended application to their ILerl-
ships, on the part of the brewers, to allow the impor-
tation of foreign hops on low duties. The memorial
states, that on the average of the last five years, die
produce and price have been insufficient to remune-
rate the planters for their ezpri.ses, and it was not
till the Midsummer of the present year, "hen the
stock in hand was nearly exhausted, and the growing
crop much injured by blight,that an advance in price
took place; and this benefited those only who made
the article one of speculation—a great proportion cf
the growth of this year is also similarly circumstanced,
the extraordinary high prices having been obtained
after nearly the whole of their crops had been sold
by.most of the planters. The ceemorial therefore
prays, that as the cultivation of hops employs a large
capital, as well as many of the 'allowing por during
the winter season, no such encouragement will be held
out to the foreign planters, by a diminution oil the
ditty on importation, as shall induce them to extend
their plantations, in the hope of inteochteing their
produce into this county y, to the future discourage-
went of our own growth, and to the c:4l..eituent in-
jury of the Revenue.

STAHVATlON.—Yet,terdaty ::.orning, about twelve
o'clock, a poor old man, almost naked, was t:!sserved
"lying at a door in High street,Whitechapel, since doe
preceding evening, in a most deplorable condition,....
Some humane persons gave him some halfpence, but
the poor fellow was in such a state from the 01 .cm
of starvation, that he was insensible of even the -
clemency'ot the weather : he lay on the ground, ap-
parently lifeless. A Gentleman requested two eLmt
to take him to the Hospital, but fit st they took hint
to Lambeth-street Police Office, to know what they
should do with him. The poor fellow was laid down
for dead in the lock-up hou,e, when Mr. Fortune,
one of the Officers, made 3 good time, and humanely
purchased some nourishing things to revive him,
which in a short time Lad the debited effect. He was
then tarried into the office before the Sitting Magi-
strite (Sit DANIXL WILLIAIIs), who iperned struck
with astonishment at beholdii.g the wretched man's
conditilti; and ordered him to teceive every necesaary
nourishtoerd while a conveyance was procured to
tike him to the parish workhouse, *heretic wr- "
without the leant Lope of rccovuy.
