who take an interest in the progress of African Discovery,
as containing, in a condensed form, an Abstract of almost
all the Information hitherto collected of the Geography of

SOUTIMARK, SEPt..29.—Our supply, during the
last week has been very considerable, and buyers
plenty, bill the ,prices.have not advasnced although
the duty is reduced to 75,0001. The accounts
from the country are so various, that we are un-
decided as to opinion, and some people even yen-
ture the duty under 70;0001. but all agree that
the growth has been over-estimated,
CEtANBROOIi, SEPT. 2g.—Our fair this day was
very respectably attended, and Hops obtained
prices front 151. 10s. Od. to 171. 10s. Od. ; one lot
fetched as high as 181. The samples were of a
very superior kind, and indeed we can say that
none.of an inferior, ,quality were to he seen this.
day, and some were withdrawn at 181. We find
that all the Sussex plantations come short of expec-
tation, although some persons are hardy enough
to venture the duty at .70,0001.. .
At the Hop Market. Dinner in Canterbury, on
Thursday, the Report of the Committee appointed
to watch the Bill introduced into Parliament dur-
ing the host Session by Mr. Calvert, with respect
to the bagging and packing 'of. Hops, was read and
approved ; and the same Committee re-appointed
to guard the interests of the Planters on any In-
ane occasion. And in order to constitute a fund
for that purpose, it was resolved that a subscrip-
tion of sixpenee per acre should be entered into
for all the plantations in East Kent,. in which
'measure, it was stated by D. J. Parker, Esq. the
Chairman,- that the Planters of West Kent, as
well as of Sussex, concurred.
