HOP INTELLIGENCE.

The Maidstone Gazette of Wednesday gives us the latest
news regarding this crop. The following extracts from
our contemporary's report will serve as well for the dis-
Wets which are not mentioned, as for those which are
specified below, the accounts being nearly similar from
all the districts.

MikIDWTONE.—Some of the experienced planters are of
opinion that no improvement is visible, but that the ver-
min rather increase than diminish—that the strong
bines will probably do little, and the weak bines less.
We have, however, heard other opinions from persons
equally experienced, that it is yet too early to decide
against a crop, as in some years much has been done
under less favourable circumstances.

BARMING.—Some grounds in this neighbourhood have
improved, and some have given way. The hops for
some miles round here appear much alike, and present
very little appearance of a crop.
FARLEIGIL—Some of the grounds present a very fa-
vourable appearance, and promise a capital crop; others
are slightly affected with the mould.
CANTERBURY.—The bops have presented a bad aspect
in the past week, and on Wednesday they appeared
worse than ever, particularly those that were inclined
to be weakly, and which may now be said as done
for. Many acres of this description will not yield
any crop. Mould is still visible at places, and there
is much fireblast. Seeing that it is impossible for
many grounds to produce snore than a bag an acre,
we think the duty is too high at 100,0001. General
accounts speak of the critical state in which the hops
are now pending—by the blue not growing well off the
poles, without which it is impossible to get anything of
a crop.
FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, JULY
12.—Our plantations have made great progress since
our last report, but we have some vermin in the under
branches; it is impossible to predict as to the result of
their doings.
