HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—Our reports from v.ll quarters are still
all as favourable as the most reckless speculator for a
large crop could desire. With the exception of some
pieces of slack bins, and a trifling attack of mould in acme
parishes, not worth speaking of, and which makes no
progress, nothing can be more flourishing than the state
of the plantatioe,

TICELIURST.—our hop bines are in a very growing
state; the weather for the last few days has been very
favourable to them. We have a few gardens where the
blues are gating yellow at the bottom. We continue
clear of vermin.—Maidstone Journal, of July 23.
MALLING —The hops aro coming into burr. The
bine is still growing and healthy looking, with the ex-
ception of a slight appearance of mould in one or two
grounds.
EDENBRIDGE.—The bine cannot be doing better; it
looks very healthy, and is free from vermin.
STAPLEHunsT.—The bl►ies continue to grow vigor-
ously, and at pro,ent bid fair for a crop.
ALToN AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, JULY 22,—The
plantations are doing everything which the most san•
guine croppist could desire.—Maidstone Gazette, of
July 23.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales cf Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 baies, of which 500 American and 500
Surat were taken for export, and 500 American on
speculation. The market was quiet, and closed steadily
at about 1-16 d. in favour or buyers. The sales com-
prised 4,000 American, 300 Pero= and Maranham, at
Bd. to 81d.; 200 Egyptian, at Bid. to 9d.; anti 400 Surat,
at 44d. to 6d. per lb.—Railway Shares slightly improved,
and the market closed with a better feeling.
Accounts from Hamburgh state that a large brewery
had bet n burnt down, together with a quantity of malt,
&e., valued at 50,000 mares banco. No lives were lost.
In the Amsterdam Stock Market on Monday prices
were steady.
Advises from Nicaragua state:—"The agents of
Howard and Son's, and Low and Co.'s line of Pacific
steamers, have arranged fir. building wharfs in the
harbour ;of Realejo, which is henceforth to become
their principal coal and provision tie} hr, at which
all their steamers will stop both in their up-
w.:rd and downward paring, s. Thii will be a
grand improvement upon the present arrangements, and
will lead to the ultimate abandonment of the Chagres
and Panama route. Indeed, some dozPn or more
families have abeady lett Panama, to open establish-
men:s here. An American hotel is now in operation in
Granada, and in a few days one'will be opened in this city.
There are, probaloly, not far from 100 Americans now
making permanent establishments in the country; among
these are the agents of several Californian houses, who
are opening a trade in coffee, sugar, rum, rice, and other
tropical productions. Central America must become, to
Oregon and California, what the West Indies have
been and are, to the Eastern United States. There
are now twelve sail in the port of Realejo, chiefly from
San Francisco. This new impulse is everywhere per-
ceptible, and has led to a marked revival of industry. The
amount of land this year put under cultivation in this
state tar exceeds that of any previous year since the in-
dependence. The crop of corn will be double that of
'49. The coffee and indigo crop, both of Nicaragua and
San Salvador, will probably show an advance of from 30
to 50 per cent."
From the 7th to the 23d inst. the Hon. East India
