HOP INTELLIGENCE.

THE WEALD.—There has been nothing during the
past fortnight to intercept the progress of the bine, the
foliage of which is now presenting a most luxurious and
beautiful appearance; the burr is developing itself in
rich profusion. Unless some unfortunate accident
transpire, the crop will he large.
WILDIINGTON.—The hop grounds of George Russell,
Esq., are looking remarkably well, and turning into burr.
UANTERBURY.—As anticipated, the late wet weather
has caused an increase of mould in many grounds, but it
is hoped that, if we do not have a continuance of wet,
the damage as yet sustained will not prove of very
great loss.
TICEHURsT.—The hops in this parish are going on
favourably, and the burr is coming out very nicely.
WORCESTER•—A few hops of last year's growth keep
moving at 85s. to 100 s. per cwt., but other sorts are
quite neglected and prices nominal. The duty fur the
district is set at 20,0001., and the kingdom at 200,00 U.,
the accounts being very favourable from all quarters.—
