HOP INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Maidstone Journal.)
MAIDSTONE, AUGUST 17.—The most surprising im-
provement has taken place within the last week—grounds
that were so much blighted that they did not lock as if
they would grow one pocket per acre a fortnight ago
may now produce six to eight cwt., and the good grounds
promise to do as much this year as ever they did.
There is fresh burr, and the hops are growing to a
much larger size than usual—three grape hops measur-
ing a foot. Picking will be general the first week in
September.
FARLEIGIL—The hops continue to go on well.
AYLESFORD, BOXLEY, BURHAM.—The hops have very
much improved, and we expect to grow half a crop.
MEREWORTH.—Our hops continue to improve, and it
is calculated that this neighbourhood will average half a
ton per acre.
NA' ROTHAM, PLAXTOL, 'WITHAM, SHIPBoTTRNE.
the upper and lower part of Wrotham, the plantations
are in an improving state. In the middle, including
Clajate's-cross, Crouce, Windfield, and Plaxtol, they are
very good indeed, and promise quite as much, and even
more, than previous to the blight. Some little mould
has been observed, but not of any consequence. In
Ightham and Shipbourne the plantations are generally in
an improving state.
SEVENOAKS.—The hops on the sandstone ridge are
generally looking as beautiful as the most sanguine
planter could desire ; the improvement since onr last
report has been the most rapid we recollect • in the
Weald portion of the parish, owing to the slackness of
bine, few or any at all can be picked. From the appear-
ance of this and the adjoining parishes, we call it only a
two-thirds crop.
CHIDDINGSTONE.—Improving, but the bine slack, and
not likely to recover the devastating ravages of the in-
sect • a very slight crop only can be expected.
WESTERHAM, BRASTED, SUNDRIDGE, AND CHEVEN-
ING.—The uplands, or great sandstone ridge, splendid,
the north parts tolerable, but the " low gate" very few
and far between ; still the plant is improved very consi-
derably, and there may be a slight top crop.
SEAL AND THE UNDERRIVERs.—The Seal hops are
looking well, the Underrivers are in places very pretty,
but several places we have seen do not justify the high
eulogiums passed upon them ; there is, as we before
stated, a great slackness of bine at places ; and although
the late warm weather and genial showers have done
much, the plant was too far exhausted to recover a
healthy tone.
TICEHURST.—The hops are still improving in this
and adjoining parishes. We have not had the hops grow
so large for many years as they have this, and there is
no doubt we shall grow in this parish as many per acre
as we did last year. It has been remarked by some of
our oldest farmers that they never knew the hops to
grow faster than they have for the last three weeks.
Hop picking will be general with us about the 24th
instant.
GOODHURST.—The hops here still bear the superio-
rity over the neighbouring parishes, and many of the
farmers purpose commencing the picking on this day
week. hops measuring 3i inches long are not uncom-
mon here.
From the other districts our letters report no altera-
tion. For the most part the hops are going on as fa-
vourably as could have been expected after the vicissi-
tudes of the season.

Lord Dundonald's villa in the Regent's-park was yes-
terday sold by Mr. George Robit.s for 4,600 guineas. Mr.
Lambert Jones was the purchaser of this great bargain, for
Mathew I.7zielli, the great city merchant.
THE PRICE OF 1311EAD.—Yesterday, in the metro-
polis, there was a general rise in the price of bread to the amount
of one halfpenny on the quarternjoaf; the highest price is now, con-
sequently, 9d., and the lowest 6d. The Edingburgh Weekly Journal of
Wednesday states. that " in 'Glasgow and Dundee, the fine (lb. leaf
is retailed at Ed. ; in Edinburgh, the liaker4 demand for a mired
log, 7d. - -
