Hi Tsu,
have you looked on the sugar bakers site yet/already ?
www.mawer.clara.net/history.html :
there are several HOPPE and HOPPER there who could be relatives.
or this one, might even be him:
HOPPER, Frederick, from Germany, age 48, 11 Denmark St, 1851 census HO107 /1547 /54
Was he naturalised ?
the TNA might have records,

There is not as much stuff online in Germany as there is for many english mother-tongue countries, you need more details of "where" as you then have to write to the local registry office or, in this case, church (organisation) for more details. (a bit like Ireland  )
good luck,
Bob

Kassel is in Hessen district of Germany and you should join the rootsweb mailing list to advance your search.
http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/DEU/HESSE.html
I doubt you would find a passenger list because none were kept for more than 10 years.
I have looked on the UK National Archive site in the WO (War Office) section to see if your ancestor fought in one of the German regiments and have also looked in the HO Section (Home Office) to see if he requested British citizenship. Unfortunately altho there are the 2 surnames, none of the entries are of your ancestor but who knows, they could be relatives.

I have also looked in the Library Section of familysearch to see if they have a film of baptisms in Kassel but unfortunately your timespan isn't included. If you know his FULL names you may be lucky enough to find his baptism in Germany on this website http://www.familysearch.org/

I see that his birthplace was recorded as Hessen-Cassel in the 1861 census.
This most likely refers to the territory (landgraviate, electorate, grand-duchy) rather than the town itself.
Do you have any records that state he was born in the town of Kassel?
