HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MainsvoNa.—We have had some floe showers, which ap.. „
per to have freshened and Invigorated the bine; but the vermin fol.
low the young shoots, and appear as numerous as ever; ir.doeil esme
grounds may be eirtelt from a considerable dintanee ; many o' these
are " done fm." If the weather continue favourable, it is, however,
possible that In many grounds we may have • top crop yet. We last
*eel stated that the duty was getting up, a predtetten which the
results of the past week have fulfilled. Another week or two will,
doubtless, decide the question of top crop or no crop.
SO
MinitWoiam, ATZlONOlittalf TISTON, &c.—The hops 90
have improved in the grounds where th re is a fair share of bine; but, 5
in the grounds that are weak, there is no improtemeat to notice— 25
indeed some lmk worse.
ALLING.—Thoogh the late rains have partially washed
the bine', we can hardly speak of improvement in the best, while
the worse are still going back. The general appearance is very bad. 6
BItINCHLEY.—AI • hough the late showers hate tended to 90
cleanse the hope in appearance, mane in this parish are past re. 60
covery, and I cannot quote any material improvement on the whole. II
HARICHURST.—The same remarks (frrenchley) are appli-
cable to Ilawkburst and that part of the Weald. 23
Wounoinicm.--Tne hops here are all blighted. We IS!
shall warmly pick a pocket. 91
GOUDRURAT AND Hoantosbzw.—There has beon some
improvement this Mot week in the strong grounds with little or no
vermin, tut the weakly ones still continue In the tame stile us re- 10
potted a fortnight gime; it Is evident they are past recovery. 1 was so
Horstworiden nearly every day, end minutely Inspected several gar- is
dees, and 1 find the low. r part of the pariah decidedly superior to the is
ether, much better on the whole than Cloudburst. Some pieces, how- 20
seer soot grow 5 cwt. per atm. Mr. Bootlace has been siting his 1,0
two.horee power engine for a considvable time, in washing his eaten- 25
live gardens, and with very great advantage Ile has annihilated the 12
' vermin entirely mute time ago, and the hope are making rapid pro.
grew. His bops arc so peculiarly situated as to have a mill stream= $2
leach ride. 331
!OUTRAN AND Saab.—There are a few grounds which se
continue to look clean and well, and bid fair for a sprinkle of hops, 10
but the greater part have gone further into the blight, the al 1 leaves 10
curling and falling or, while the young shoots are closely followed •0
with live vermin.
YALDING.—Oar hops, alter the showers of the past week, 23
in some grounds seem to bear a better aspect. and we hope will turn
I oak favourable; but another week may make the change mare decisive. 20
Waornom.— The hops here to .k much better today 10
(Ilaturday) than they have looked 'or some time, being armlet entirely 13
fres from fly, lice, he, in °marque= of the late Tie, which has 16
alma so beneficial to them, though it has beaten down some of the 01.
heavy corn very much.
SMAIDEN AND BIDDINDEN.—The bine has slightly ion.
proved; vermin is decreasing, and there are a great many fly gold- et.
ins& The late rains have done good.
mossßritneoali AND VICINITT.—The hop in this &Strict,
sixteen par
wholeishes of the union, arc looking upon the
exieedingly bat, and the chances of • crop are mw completely
Aden aod. There are a few pieces in the neighbourhood of the town
(where high farming has produced an abundance of bine) that the .1
late tains have certainly much improved, but allowing the fullest ex-
tent of well-wishing, nothing like a half-crop can be grown upon them
favoured soots. Upon the mid clays in the val.eyis, taking the under- 0
rivers, treald,Suntwe, and Chevening youth, with Ctudslingstone,
Hever, sad the low of Br eted. there will be acres in which not a ,
bin will set foot, the bine in many hVAMICee being not four feet high,
and as brown as a b rry; In fact the plant is completely beaten. and
the least shoot thrown out by the exhausted plant Is immediately
covered by myriads of vw novas. An old and experienced planter says
it is now nonsense, except in very strong place., to think;of a crop, z`,
CsAratitoox —We eta sat feel justified in reporting any ear
fsvourable change in the bine in this locality at proem On Friday ;0
evening we were visited by a somewhat heavy thunder storm, scmea. 10
ponied by some fine shower% the salutary effects of which, however, „„
are not yet manifested, at least only so far as they seem to have 1-;,'
washed the bine and imparted a ftetbseve and vigour to the general „6
appearance of the plant. There is still a large qua..titv of vermin. i;
ORTINGION.—Sinee the thunder storms of Inst Friday I is
find • fresh attack of Sy (and the lice cover the the young leaves and
are Nil of lire), and upon the whole I must report the hops worse,
and going aver, fast ; only now and then a hill 'bowing a little burr
at the very top of the polL
EDW.:BRIO° 6.—T h ere is an improvement generally in the
cep of the bine. although the lice follow it up.
WnsronElit.—The hops are in so precarious a state that
it !edifier* to oar whether the Mte rains have improved or injur. d
them. I suppose this will be determined by the state of the cultiva-
tion, and the forward or backward state of the bine.--lfaidot-
G met f e of this day.

tion; as towing, we hash so little that It is scarcely worth mention-

CATTLE —CoLcstanza, July 21.—The show of Sheep
