HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—Owing partly to the late fine weather, and
partly to the admirable management which the planters have
been encouraged to adept by the remunerating prices of last
season, the hop gardens in this neighbourhood present a most
pleasing aspect. The bine is luxurious, the ground in most
cases clean, and more attention has been paid to poling and
tying than is usual. On the other hand there is a great in-
crease of fly—say six to ten on a leaf, which in Mid Kent is
generally considered a rather formidable blight. There has,
however, during the last week, been a great improvement in the
colour of the bine, which in some instances is nearly at the top
of the poles. Duty is called 160,0001.
BOXLEY, AYLESFORD, AND BURMAI6I.—The hop bine has
made considerable progress during the past week, still the bine
is backward, and some few grounds not very healthy. Some
fly, from two to six on a leaf.
OTHAII.—The hops in this parish and neighbourhood are
of a good countenance, and quite clean, growing rapidly, al-
though there has been considerable wind within the last few
days. Warm and still weather would cause them to grow
still faster. There is a promising appearance of abundance
of bine.
__

THE FARLEIG s.—There is a good deal of fly here. Yes-
terday morning our correspondent found in his own hops as
many as ten on a joint.
BKENCHLEY.--The hops are growing here, with a few fly
in the sheltered situations. .

SEVENOAKS.—The hops during the past week have made
much progress, particularly on the bill portion of the parish,
the bine strong and healthy, with scarcely an indication of
vermin. The high winds of the last few days have been cer-
tainly detrimental to the plant, but the gardens in the hill
district being (although much larger than previous years)
tolerably well sheltered, the bine has in a great measure
escaped injury.
CHEVENING.--In this favoured hop parish the bine is ex-
ceedingly luxuriant, healthy, and clean.
Su Nn RIDGE.—The hops in the northern part of the parish
(the gravel and rich alluvial soil) are looking well, exempt
from the insect, and argue well for a crop. In exposed situa-
tions the bine has been much knocked about by the late gales,
but still is rapidly progressing. In the southern parts of the
parish the bine is " not so gay," probably owing to the coldness
of the soil (a stiff clay) and the absence of draining ; wherever
that has taken place may be observed a manifest improvement.
There is a slight indication of vermin, but not sufficient to
realise fears even of the most tremulous grower, and the ap-
pearance of the plant, at present, justifies the hope of a fair crop.
BRASTED, WESTERHAM (KENT), LYMPSFIELD, OXTED,
BLETCHINGLY, GODSTONE, NUTFIELD, AND REIGATE
( SURREY ).—The foregoing observations will also apply to
these parishes, but that the bine in these poorer soils seems
suffering more in proportion to the late cold weather, and
naturally so ; as the greater the capability of the soil, -the
stronger and better theplant will be, and more able to contend
with its numerous enemies.
THE UNDERRIVERS.—The bops are looking generally well
—very little appearance of vermin except in isolated places.
The bine is fast losing its yellow colour, and has assumed a
strong position. The high wind has rather battered the upper
part of the Underrivers, but still the plant maintains a healthy
state.
SEAL —Looking healthy and well, little indication of
vermin.
hEJlSlNo.—Although a small parish, a very large plantation,
managed very scientifically by those eminent judges, Mr. Bur-
gess&c.—The bine much
and Mr. Morphew. The bine generally looking well.
THE CRAYS, and neighbourhood.—The same observation
improved during
riSngHOthßeEptiaAs3ttw,
eEersFonn,
applies to these parishas.
CANTERBURY.—The genial weather of the past week has
greatly helped the young hops; and nothing is observable at
present to prevent a fair crop being obtained..—Maidstone
Journal, June 10.

VISIT OF A DUTCH PRINCE TO SCOTLAND.—Prince
Henry, third son of the King of Holland, arrived In Leith Roads yes-
terday morning, in a frigate of sixty-eight guns, containing the usual
complement of crew. At eight o'clock the frigate fired a salute of
ten guns. At one o'clock, the Lord Provost received from Captain
Arrow, of the Royal Navy, the unexpected notice of his Royal High-
ness's arrival, when he immediately drove to Leith, and sailed out
bid
to the frigate in one of the boats belonging to the Custom-house, to
to Scotland.

DEATH OF SiR GEORGE H. WILLOUGHBY BEAU-
at Coleorton Hall, his seat in Leicestershire. The de-
ceased was gßwlAaansstTildest son of Sir Thomas Beaumont, of Bucklaud, Surrey,
and was born 1-, 1799, so that he was only in his 46th year. He
married, in 1325, Miss Mary Anne Howley, eldest daughter of the
Archbishop of Canterbury—that amiable lady dying in 1835. Sir
George succeeded to the Baronetcy on the death of his cousin in
1827, and his son, Mr. George Howland Beaumont, born In 1828,
now succeeds to the family honours and estates.

STATE or TEADE.—The yarn market yesterday
continued buoyant. There was a good demand ; and for export
an advance of d. to id. a lb. was pretty generally obtained. In
goods a moderate extent of business was done. The best qualities
of 27-inch printing cloth, 66's and '72
may be considered a shade
higher ; while for 7.9th'S printers the demand remained languid.
-The ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JUNE 9.--We
have had a very busy market to-day, the merchants having
bought freely at advanced prices. The wool market has not been
so brisk, chiefly owing to higher prices being asked for the middling
and lower kinds of wool.—ManOester Gtorfliffri
