HOP INTELLIGENCE.

I ooar. —our bins seems to enjoy the warm weather,
particularly the geldings, which are very good, but some
grape grounds are faint, epprosching yellow, and it is not
certain that hot sun will revive them; a few days will show
what effect it will have. We are clear from vermin and
mould, and the bine promises to be fruitful, having many
joiuts which are throwing side branches. Cultivation
goes on rapidly, and the land is much kinder than usual
after so much wet.

EAST FA ALDIOII AND BARNINO.—Tho bine is generally
good and thriving. Hops generally never looked better.
At present there is a good prospect of a fine crop. The
application of sulphur, proposed by Dr. I'lomley, seems
to be :much approved u a preventative to the mould.
Great quantities have been had for different grounds about
this part.
YALDINO AND WesT FARLDIGN.—The bine is pretty
good. A few lice and some mould have been seen, but no
lies nor fly. There are eons very good pieces of bine, and
some short and bad. A large crop cannot be grown without
some very genial weather, as the wet WAS too much for the
plant. It is however yet too early to speak strongly. The
bine at Chart is not so good, and shows the effects of the
rain more than this ueighbourhoed.
AYLEBFORD.—The bine on the good and well•cultiveted
grounds looks promising, but on some of the wet and cold
soils it looks yellow sod weakly.
Tits Surrods.—The bine on the dry subsoils is good and
healthy—on the loose lands, yellow and curling up. No fly
to hurt us. Mould at places. The present hot and d.y
weather will do mach good.
Emir PECILNAM.—The strong bine going on very well;
we have a great deal of shoot, which will not do much
unless very warm weather should come to their assistance.
IlaoLow.—Our hops are fast improving. We are nearly
free from vermin. _

Strarczitcast.—The effect of the late weather is visible
in our grounds, particularly those in low situations, in the
yellowness of the leaf; but 'tie hoped with tine weat►er they
may recover.
WROTMAK.—The bine is backward for the time of year
but improving and regaining its colour, in consequence of
the line, warm weather, and the opportunity now afforded
for cultivation.
MARDIX.—The bine on some soils is healthy, on others
very yellow.
KEWINO, SEAL, and OTTORD.—The bine progresses
favourably in the whole of this district, with very few es-
captions.
Saszinttsv.—There is no by here. The hops have
scarcely felt the late wet; but for the last week they have,
like the weather improved.
MOLVIINDIN —The bine upon the dry land continues to
improve, hat upon the stiff soils and old grounds are very
much fire-blighted, and many dead hills.
TICIIII:RB7.—Since our last the hop blues have made
but little progress, and many of our gardens are getting
yellow. Warm weather is much required.—Maidstone

blAtuuTous. July 7.—The limo in this neighborhood,
and generally, indeed, in Mid-Kent, are in a flourishing
condition, and are likely to begreatly improved if the warm
dry weather, which has been experienced during the last
three dsya, Mold continue. No vermin of any consequence
have been discovered.

MIERRWOKTIL—Some of the growths are in a very
flourishing state. The present weather seems to suit thew.
Other grounds are looking very sickly from the effects of
the wet weather.

blm.xtro.—flops still promise well.
YALDINO AND HUNTON.--Our hope look well and in •
growing state, except those on cold grounds, which since
the late heavy rains haveatlered their appearance and colour.
Roxygmnerr.—The hops in this parish are about the
same as last week. We are in hopes that the present warm
weather will make some improvement, or doubts are enter-
tained of a crop.
HORAMONDEN.—Our bine, have been kept back by the
cold wet weather; progress has been susceptible. NI, e ale
quite free :of either mould or vermin, and with the last
warm day or two the bines are growing rapidly.
00VDRUSIAT.—The late rains have done considerable in-
jury at the stem of the bine, especially in the old plants
bons, but since the change in the weather there is a visible
alteration for the bettvr. There can only be • slender crop
on those grounds. The younger plant is progressing fa-
vourably.
CKANBROOI.—The bine has slightly improved in appear-
ance during the last few days, and we have no doubt, if the
weather continues warm, they will make up for lost time.
BaINCHLIY.—A considerable portion of the hope here
assume a very different aspect from that of last week. Since
the change in the weather the leaves have yellowed and
curled, and various are the opinions as to the result of the
late wet weather.

CANT/11111VRY.—The hops in this district have, within
the last few days, made considerable progress, although
many grounds, where the Bea had made much havoc, are
still backward. Scarcely any flea is now to be met with,
but occasionally a little mould. In the parishes of Starry
and Fordwieh the prospect is at present but middling. One
ground near Hales'-place, the property of Mr. Bedwell, is
looking splendid. The general appearance certainly is in
favour of a heavy duty. The Sarrenden and Little Chart
grounds are beautiful.
Hutiaroaarm.—The hops have improved during the last
few days in moat grounds, and, with the present favourable
weather, we may expect them to recover their late de-
pression.
FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, July 6.
Our plantations are progressing as favourably as we could
desire, and are free from vermin.—Sonth-Eareern Gazette.
