HOP INTELLIGENCE.
(Pramlilone Journal.) •
MAIDSTONE, AARCII 30.—Where the-blignt was most se-
yore last year, the stock is in a weakly and rotten state and
those grounds which produced .the best hops, may.reasonably
he expected to produce the best crops in the ensuing season..
The Sussex plantation has not been so much aff:cted by thy
bight as Kent, because the Sussex Planters usually earili.their
hills more plentifully.
We have authority to say, that late on last Saturday evening
the Marquess Camm.),r received a communication, informing
him that a Treasury minute will be issued, orileririg the pay-
nr]nt of the reduced Duty on the crop of Hops of 1322 to be
postponed until next November.
In addition to the above, we have to submit to eurreaclers tho
following particulars received last evening from Sir EDWA.III,
KNATCHDULL :
" 20, Great George-street, March 23. 1824:
".Stn-1 believe it is of great consequence to the tlop
Planters to be informed of the final arrangement respecting th,
Payment of the Duty. I fear it will not be possible for me ..to
send you the official communication in time for your next pub-
lication. I forward to you the substance of the arran zement,
" The Lords of the Treasury having remitiei one half of
the Duty of 1822, have consented to postpone the payment
of the other half till the month of November 1824. ru,,
Duty. of 1823 will be collected at the usual time. If snv
persons wish to be excused from paring this Duty, in con..
sequence of the promise held out to them last year, they will
be excused, but they will be required to pay the whole Duty
of 1822.
