HOP INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Maidstone Journal.)
SOUTHWARK, JULY 22.—Our market continues in the
same inactive state.—Duty 200,0001.
MAIDSTONE.-We hear of very extensive damage having
been caused by the tempestuous winds:last week, which is
estimated in some parishes to have decreased the crop by
at least a bag an acre. In other respects the plantations
are, with some exceptions, improving.
FARLEIGH.—The late winds have very much damaged
the hop-bine, and must be the means of the crop coming
far short of what was expected. They are still much in-
fested with vermin.

CHART, SUTTON, BotioirroN.—The hops in this neigh-
bourhood have received considerable injury from the high
winds last week, particularly in the strong grounds. There
is still a great deal of vermin, and in many grounds the
bine is very short. Present appearances are decidedly
against the present quotation of duty.
TESTON, WATERINGBURY, IMEREWORTH. In these pa-
rishes there is a great shortness of bine, and in other re-
spects the plantation is in a very bad state.
OFFHAM, MALLING, &c.—The hops here are very foul,
and the crop must be short.
TUNBRIDGE-WELLS.—The high winds that have been
prevalent here last week have done immense damage to
the hops in every part of this neighbourhood. We learn
from Lamberhurst, and other places adjacent, that the
poles and bines are scattered in every direction, and if the
wind be general, as we presume it is, we feel confident that
there is quite 50,000/. difference,in the appearance of the
duty since Wednesday last.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—We have
had a very good demand for Cotton to-day—the sales
reach 6,000 bags, ch.Wy to the trade, at the full prices
of yesterday. Experteo have taken 5,000 bales.
Our arrivals this morning are a French and Ostend mail,
and ship letters from St. Vincent and Sierre Leone ; Cal-
cutta 14th March ; Cape of Good Hope 21st May, and
Manilla. .
We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the
19th May
From the high price of grain in all the markets of
, the Colony, we naturally look for an abundant supply next
year, as the farmer has before his eyes the strongest of
all motives for extensive ploughing. It has been said that
the late harvest fell considerably below the average of
some years past in quantity; that there was a want of la-
bourers to reap it, and bring it to market. It may be
added that the quantity of flour shipped, either to supply
the greatly-increased shipping at Table Bay, or to meet
the demand in other countries, has of late risen greatly
in its usual amount.
" On Thursday morning, at nine o'clock, the seven men
convicted of the murder of the blacks at Liverpool Plains,
underwent the last penalty of the law at the rear of the
gaol."
Bank of Ireland.—An advance of 3 per cent. took
place in Bank Stock this day. The Bank Directors have
reduced their charges on letters of credit OR England from
one-fourth to one-eighth per cent.
We have received the Antwerp Journal of yesterday's
date, with the prices from Amsterdam of the 22d instant,
Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 55 ; Five per Cents., 1021.
We are glad to see that within these few days there has
been a real demand for Cotton at Liverpool by the trade,
which we hope will have the effect of giving employment to
a great number of persons in the manufacturing districts.
We have ♦ery few arrivals this morning, consequently
no news of importance to communicate to the present time.

THE FUNDS.

An extraordinary but very unlikely report was hatched
up on the Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon of an ar-
rangement having been entered into with the Bank of
France to allow bills to be drawn upon it by the Bank of
England in an indirect way, through certain houses in
Paris ; and to give as a security to the Bank of France a
certain portion of the dead weight. This system of ope-
ration is scouted, besides we have plenty of pawn shops
in our great city (the monied interest), and have no occa-
sion to go a-begging to the French Bank for assistance.

of Exchequer Bills were sold by the Government broker,
at ten shillings premium. •

This has been a very dull morning, both for intelligence
and speculations in the funds up to the present hour.
Consols have been 92k, alternately buyers and sellers,
with little doing of any consequence.
Money in the House can be obtained on Consols at
2 per cent., but out of it 5 to 51 is demanded.
Nothing further is said about the Dead Weight.
The weekly meeting of the Bank Directors takes place
this morning, and it is not expected that on their break-
ing up any notice will be issued.

HAYMARKET.—The Village Doctor was pro-
duced here last night for the first time. It is an adapta-
tion of a comedie vaudeville entitled Maurice. In its English
garb it is one of the most beautiful and natural productions
of its class ever put upon the stage. It has the excitement
of Viclorine without its too highly-wrought melodramatic
effects, while its comedy is really of a high order. Its
little touches of pathos tell admirably, and its laughable
situations are developed without any of those straining im.
possibilities of broad farce. It is one of those pieces to
tell the plot of which would be really to detract from the
great interest which the public will feel in its represents.
tion. At the the fall of the curtain there was long and
loud cheerings, and Farrell announced its repetition every
evening until further notice, amidst reiterated plaudits.
The piece must have a run.
MUSICAL ELOPEMENT.—The brother (Mr.
Riviere) of Mrs. Bishop has published another letter in
her justification, coupled with one from the
d i deal in lady herself to
Mr. Bishop, her husband. She says a goo
com-
mendation of her own, and in condemnation of her hus-
band's, conduct, declaring that her engagement with
Boobs& is purely professional, that she is earning money
to support her children whom she has left, that she has
with her a Miss Younge as a companion, and that when
she is satisfied with Bishop's en
behaviour she will let him
know where she is.
