HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BArrix.—The hops are still improving here, and the
burr is coming out with a healthy appearance, although
the drought has been so very excessive. The planta-
tions generally have been exceedingly clean. and worthy
of crenit to the cultivators, yet there are some that do
not pay sufficient attention to the theoretical as well as
the practical knowledge in agriculture, as plants co not
exhaust the soil in the way that some describe, for the
plant does not consume concrete or liquid substances; it
is when it be comes wralised that it insinuates itself into
the plant. The heat produced by decomposed sub-
stances, in combination with the heat of the surround►ng.
atmosphere, expands-the plant, and when comint in con-
tact with a colder atmosphere, is condensed ; thus
animals and plants increase in magnitule.
FARNHAM.—There is no material difference in our
hops this week, the better grounds are now out in burr
and are progressing tolerably well, but the slighted ones
are so dried up as to preclude all further hope, and
this parish they are by far the largest proportion. In
the adjacent villages to the east of the town they are
almost a total failure, while from Binstead, Bentley, parts
of Kingsley, and others to the west the accounts are more
favourable. The duty is called 5,000, but few are in-
clined to back that account.

FLETCHING.—The hops in our strongest grounds show
for nearly an average crop ; the weaker gardens never
looked more unpromising, and from them an average
crop cannot he expected this year. We are now reaping
wheat; there-is a slight deficiency in the crop.
GonDituasT.—Some of the hops have not been doing
vnyttfing of fate, par icularly those that have hail the
most vermin. Ha n would do much good, and unless we
get some soon the crop will be very short, in some
grounds. We are begi.ning the oat harve.t, which h
good, and shall begin to cut wheat in a few days. We
are very short of keep and water.
MAYFIELD —There is no improvement in the hops
since our last report ; they appear to be in a very weak
',taste. The vermin are still very thick, and the bine ap-
pears in some places to.be .alm st dying, but there are
some plantations whtrek'filakt,os...exp••ct to be more for-
tunate, they being cleaner at d more growing. Without
rain the crop mu,t, according to the present appez:rance
f the b•r., he very short in this paris'i.
UCKFIELD.—The hops in this parish hare not im-
proved much during the past week, most of the grounds
are nearly on the standstill for want of rain. 'There are
one or two good gardens in this pati-h, which bid fair
for a very heavy crop. The hest garden belongs to `dr.
John Kenward, which is set at 20 e't. per acre and up -
warch, and consists of several acres. The duty is still
called about 185 000/. to i 90,0001, and the latter esti-
agate is backed by some. It we could get heavy rains
arida fine August the duty may yet pay 230,0001., the
duty was called last year at this time 150,0001., and paid
243.0001.

WADHURST.—The hops here progre:s but slowly, the
prevail:rig opinion is that rain mould be highly beneti
vial to the plant, and materially aaist in eralicating the
vermin that the low grounds are still infesb-d with.
our be,t plantati tns the plant with the burr looks
healthy, but we shall not grow so many in this district
as last year. We think the duty as it atanda quite high
enough. —Sussex Advertiser.

EFFECTS Or DauNKENNESS.—Yesterday a man
about fifty-seven years of age, dressed in black and of a
very respectable exterior, died in Lambeth workhouse
from the effects of ardent spirits. He was found by the
()lice in a helpless state of intoxication in the Commer-
cial-road, Lambeth, and removed to the police-station,
anti from thence to the workhouse, where an immense
quantity of spirits was drawl' from him by the stomach-
pump. He died, however, without recovering from the
stupor, and nothing was found on him to lead to identity.
Information was forwarded to the Coroner.
FRrGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yester-
day afternoon an accident of a frightful character took
place on the river. George Andrew,, aged 40 years,
residing at Rotherhithe, was engaged in ptinting the
side of a steam• vessel called the North Star, lying in the
river off East-lane tier, Bermondsey-wall. lie was at
work on a portable scaffold, when another steatn-boar,
which was coming up full swing with the tide, by some
unforeseen aecident,catie.tigbtettliwart the North Star,
jamming the unfortun ate fellow between tne sides of the
two v,ssels. His screams were heartrending, hut with
all possible speed exertion was made to release him from
his fearful position; and when brought tip he aopeared
to be quite insensible, and almost flattened by the force
of the collision. He was immediateiy taken ashore, and
carried to the accident ward of Guy's Hospital, where
he was found to have received two lacerated wounds of
