HOP INTELLIGENCE.
MAIDSTONE, OCT. I.—The pknters are rapidly
clearing their grounds, but the picking has for the
last few days been much interfered with by the heavy
rains. The bops come clown well, but there are
places where the mould has been destructive. A
heavy duty is talked of, even 270,000/. The samples
are very good.

BOUGHToIi MONCLIEL3EA.—We are proceeding
with the picking as fast as the weather (which has
recently been very unfavourable) will permit. We
shall produce a very fine sample, but much difference
of opinion exists as to the average growth per acre,
some thinking that 15 cwt. will be obtained, while
others say the average will not be above 10 cwt.
CHART SUTTON.—We are proceeding with the
p;.cking as fast as the weather will permit. There
has been much rain, and that does us no good ; gene-
rally speahing, however, there will be a large crop
and a fine sample.
LEEDS.—The crop in our neighbourhood fully
answers the expectations of the growers; the yield is
very good. We are picking as fast as we can, but
are interfered with by continuous and heavy rains.
YALDlNG.—Picking is fast proceeding; but we
feel the effects of the heavy rains and winds. There
is a quantity of mould.
MARDEN.—The picking is going on very satisfac-
tory. The hops came down in excellent condition.
We shall have a good sample, and pay a heavy duty.
BRIGHTLING, SEPT. So.—The high winds are bat-
tering us about and we shall not finish picking till
the latter end of next week. Upon the whole we
shall get as many as we expected. The duty will not,
in our opinion, pay anything like what some people
suppose.

GOUDHUTIST, OCT. I.—Hops are still going on
satisfactorily, notwithstanding we have bad consider-
able rain, which, in many seasons, would have
seriously injured them. The quantity is, in general,
above what was anticipated, the colour and condition
good.

- ASHFORD, SEPT. 30.—The hops come down re-
markably well; a good crop and free from disease.
IVEsTnAm, SEPT. 29.—The hopping is drawing to
a conclusion, and the quantity will come somewhat
short, owing to their weighing light at the commence-
ment. The quality is very superior.
FARNHAM, SEPT. 30.—The grounds are nearly all
cleared; those planters, though, who have not cleared
their grounds, we expect, will lose for quality, as the
hops are " going off," although they had not begun
to pick them before they were ripe. Duty 240,0001.
