FOREIGN Hops.—The importations of bops which
have recently taken piece fromthe United States ef Americo,
and also from Belgian, have just been followed by, we be-
lieve, the largest arrival of the kind which bastam place
from abroad this seassaj_the first of such importations to any
remarkable extent. The Americas line of packet ship
Hendrick Hudson, arrived in the docks from New York, has
brought 78 base et hops to order, and also 60 bales of the
article consigned to an eminent house, the growth and pro-
duce of the United States of America. The duty leviable
on foreign hope on importation into this country from abroad
i• 21. 6e. per wh would appesr to argue well for the
value and quality of these hops from America to beer an
import duty of so heavy a nature. The supplies from Bel-
gium continue to take place to some extant. The vessel
TTansy, since arrived in the docks from Boston, has else
brought 26 belle of hope, canalised to an eminent house as
a portion of her cargo, the protium et the United States of
America—Maidstone Morita.
