BgARSTED, THI:RNIIAX. &e.—The bines in these pitiabn
are in a very thrising rate. There is a very slight appearance of

the mould to not taken into amount, we rever raw the hops look
better or grow (Aster, or hare a mo.c promising appearance.
blanivoirtn.—Ttw bine gentinuel growing fast. T:
hops are in general very backward. The burr does not appear more
forwarder than It was a week sin, and the mould sun locrea..e''.
. . .

VALUING AND HUNTOW.—Our hop*, eepecially below the
hill, are getung en well, but on the kill the mould has increased.
NITILISTAD.—Our hops generally n locked more
promlsiart.
HADLOW.—The hops ere going on very favourably. and
the burr looks well, but the mould is increasing in some grounds.
GODDIIICRST —1 leave been inspecting the ti ,udhurt and
Rorinnondrn plantations during the whole of the week, and must
Ante they are progressing into fruit very favourably, the weatlor
baying within this last week made up the dedeieney of the add nights.

WROTHAM AND STANITZD.:-One hops are locking- re-
markably healthy and in a growing state, but are backward in putt,eg
forth burr, on account of the late rains.
IGHTIAIL AND BEAL —The bins has grown rapidly
during the past week, but it is the opinion of come planters that there
is A deficiency in the bum
ROLVaNDEN —The hops keep growing. and look luxu-
riant It is the general opinion that the duty will pay over
200,0001.
CIIANRROOL.—The bine will eontinues in a most healthy
and growing state, with a large quantity of burr thereon.

good year is =ticketed.
TUN/DODOS WILLS —Hops still retain their position, and
a beery crop is now generally talked of. line weather would still

more iinpro; e them.
EDEN BRIDOIL—The bun looks well, and there is every
appearance of a good crop.
FARNHAM, ALTON, ANT) COUNTRY DISTRICTr;, Auxust
s.—Last week our plantations did very little, owing to the continued
wet "nigher, but with the present high temperature they are making
great progress. There is a very general compLiint nut they grow
more to bite tban antt G. of Aug. O.

Ili MD:4IVMM —We have still the sane unvarying cuckoo-
lite tenon to make. From all parts of the plantations the litturianee
of the bine, the absentte of vermin, and the general prospects for a
crop are the universal theme of remark. In feet, we suppose the bop
plantations as a whole were never known to be in to flourishing a
state. We still hear of occasional deficiencies of bunt and partial at-
tacks of mould, hut not to an extent to affect lit more than the slightest
irethe general result. Having really nothing to report beyond
~ we think it quite a waste of space to repeat the same story in a
number of Markt and parish reports.
THR WRALl).—There has been nothing during the past
fortnight to intercept the progress of the bine, the foliage of which
is now presenting a most luxurious and beautiful *pig...minor ; the

accident transpires, the crop will be large.

looking remarkably well, and turning into burr.
C4047E1111 eltr.—As anticipated, the late wet weather has
caused an increme of mou'd in in iny grounds, but it to hoped that if
we do not have a continuance of wet, the damage as yet anstaineil
not prove of very grist kas.
TICRHVIUIT.—The hops in this pariah are going on fivrollf-
ably, aid the burr is coming out very ninety.—AfrOf Some

CREMORNE GARDENS.-Lot night a new panto-
mime entitled " This Origin of Harlequin," wso produced
under the directionof Herr Deulin, and secured the loud
applause of a crowded audienoe.
TUE HIPPOPOTAMrs'S BEIVELLOW.—During the
voyage " our fat friend" attacked himself yet mere strongly
to hit attendant and interpreter. Hamet ; indeed, the devo-
tion to his person which this assiduous and thoughtful person
had manifested from his first promotion to the attics had
been of a kind to seeure such • result from any one at all
accessible to kindly affections. Hawn had commenced by
sleeping side by side with his charge in the house at Cairo,
and adoptca the same arrangement fur the night during the
first we.k of the voyage to England. Finding, however, as
the weather grew warmer, and the hippopotamus bigger and
bigger, that this was attended with some inconvenience,
Hamer had a hammock slung from the beams immediately
over the plies where he used to sleep—in fact, just over
his aide of the bed—by which means he was raised two
or three feet above his usual position. Into this hammock
got Hemet, and having assured the hippopotamus, both by
his voice, and by extending one arm over the side, so as to
touch him, that he was there es usual at his side, and " all
was right," he presently fell asleep. How long he slept
Hamer dote not know, but he MIS awoke by the sensation
of a jerk and • hoist, and found himself lying on the bed in
his old place, close beside our fat friend. Hamel tried the
experiment ones more; but the same thing again occurred.
No sooner was he asleep than the hippopotamus got up—
raised hie broad now beneath the heaviest part of the ham-
mock that swung lowest, and by an easy and adroit toss,
pitched Hemet clean out. After this, Hemet, acting on his
rule of never thwarting his charge in anything reasonable,
abandoned the attempt of a separate bed, and took up his
nightly quarters by his side as beforc—Dichat Botesehold
