HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MA/DSTONE, JUNE 21.—The accounts from the
Hop Plantations in this neighbourhood vary so
considerably, and the diversity of opinion at the
present moment is so great, that we are at a loss
to know what to say respecting them. In some
grounds they are considerably improved, while
in others they are as much gone off; in general
the young plantations present by far the healthiest
appearance, although there is much unevenness
of bine amongst them. In the old grounds, the
number of hills where the hops have not taken
are very considerable, which is supposed to be
Owing to the exhaustion of the belie from the
large crop of last year. The fly and lice are
thought not to be 69 numerous as a few days
since.
