HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BOROTTGII, AtinusT 27.—The accounts during the
pAst h eorne more Evoun-,hle. The warn
nights have caused the good grounds to progress. In
the blighted hops little or no improvement has taken
place. The duty has advanced to 90,0001. Our
market remains quiet.

MAInsToNE.--In the Mid Kent parishes, gene-
rally, considerable improvement has been witnessed
during the past week, of which the weather has been
most favourable. A large number of grounds will do
nothing, but many, which were given over, now
show a sprinkle of hops, and the top crop of those
which were better, will probably exceed former anti-
pations. In the opinion of many of our best judges,
the duty will be even higher than now quoted.
MEREWORTH AND WATERINGDORY.—The hops in
these parishes have much improved within the la t
fortnight, and have this year strictly verified the old
saying as to their coming out of the poles. The
grounds have been moderately clear from vermin,
look well, and promise a good crop, and where the
vermin has been bad there will be a few good hope.
But there are many grounds in that state, and slack
of bine, and in many of the strongest grounds the
mould is making dreadful ravages; some of the
growers will begin picking in a week or ten days 00
that account; and although there is every appearance
that we shall have as many more hops as were ex-
pected, yet we shall not have now more than half a
crop.
TESTON.—The hops in this parish have looked
rather better as regards quantity of bine than the
adjoining parishes, and have been more free from
vermin and mould, although we have had both, and
have some mould still. They have improved fa,
beyond our best hopes within the last month ; should
they continue so to do, we hope to obtain rather
more than an average crop for the year.
NETTLESTED.—A favourable change has taken
place within the last fortnight in the hops, which we
are likely to take our share of, although we have
mould, and some grounds are slack of bine.
YALDING AND Husros;.--Our hops in the best
grounds, some of which are very good, have much
improved during the past week. The weather has
been much in their favour. The mould is much 0°
the increase in some gardens.
MALLING.—The past week's weather has dis-
tinguished more clearly those grounds that will do
nothing, and those that will do a little. The effect is
great in the few better grounds, in which we 81181
grow a few more than was anticipated, if the mould
does not carry them off.
HORSNIONDEN.—A change, as unprecedented as it
is welcome, has taken place in our hop grounds
within the last fortnight. They are now, in a majo-
rity of instances, presenting a very splendid appear-
ance. In many plantations, which a month since dick
not appear likely to produce a pocket per acre, there
will now probably be three; while those grounds
that were then considered middling, are now very
fine. We are now likely to get an average for We
parish of from six to seven cwt. per acre, of a quality
which bid fair to be very superior.
EAST MALLING.—The late fine weather has pro-
duced but little improvement in the blighted gardenot
but in the more favoured plantations there is de-
cidedly a great improvement. They are fits"
coming out into a good sized hop, and look well for
condition.

'AYR()Tnam.—The hops here are decidedly inv.
proving ; the last few warm nights have done a ver
great deal of good where the hops have appeared,
but there are some bines without any signs eve"
of burr.
EDENBRIDGE.—There is an improvement in the
t
best grounds since our last, but there are a gr,,e4
number of acres which will not produce a pee'
per acre.

ORrINGTON.—What few hops there are have grove
out very nicely. About one cwt. per acre maY
grown upon the best grounds.
CANTERBURY.—The recent warm weather bas d°11,6
much for most plantations that were not previousl
past all chance of rallying, and the produce of tb_
neighbourhood will exceed the estimate for some tilde
past generally calculated on, although there are rarble
grounds into which a basket will not be put. The
duty, at from 75,000/. to 80,0001., is supported pre"
freely.

- -
HURSTGREEN.—The hops have made a little ilni
provement since last week, but not to any greyg
extent, and some are past the hope of doing any.thirs;
worth mentioning; some of the best ground is 800
attacked with flea. A meeting takes place heretba
Friday next, in consequence of the refusal of
of
Chancellor of the Exchequer to grant the prayer
the Hastings memorialists. oebf
TicEtiußsT.—lmprovement is going on in th,e„%, of
favoured grounds; but the crop on the genere'‘l/
;',
the plantations in this neighbourhood will be ‘-
small.—Maidstone Gazette of Tuesday.

ENG LIS II PR OP AG ANDISM. —A very extraordinary‘..o9
scene for Paris occurred yesterday evening in the Place
de la Bourse. Soon after six o'clock a young and ,!
dressed Englishman got upon a post, with a small pock Testament in his hand, and a few persons having **seo,,
bled he began to harangue them in very good Freeto
on the blessings of peace. Two sergens de ville, wifo
were on duty at the Vaudeville Theatre, perceiving “1„,.;
a crowd was assembling, went to the spot and infortn`;
the 2val,is but imprudent orator that open-air lector:
in Paris were contrary to law. The Englishman Pe.;
sisted, and said that his object was pacific. The officei,
replied that they did not question the excellence Of 1).0
motives, but that no person could deliver haranguesbie
the public thoroughfare without a permission fro°
ht
Protect of Police, and they requested him peditelY "se
earnestly to withdraw. He replied in French, " ?le-
be
retire pas," on which the sergens de
isille took him by 1
arm and led him away.—Galignani.
A NOBLE ACT.—A few years since a,

greatly greatly depreciated, but the gentleman who reconvneTile
the investment took up the shares, and paid the, —"gag
