... Borough, Monday, August 29.-The time has at length arrived, that. though there may be partial deficiencies in it, the present year's growth of hops might, with some degree of certainty, be considered to promise a full average crop. In some situations a ton per acre is anticipated. So dull is our trade, that last week's quotations may still be considered as next to nominal. Currency: East Kent, ...

The time of low water is there uniformly ...

... We can state nothing certain with respect to Polish affairs. The Russians are said to have sustained several successive de- feats, and to be in full retreat from before Warsaw, but the intel- ligence does not proceed from a source upon which any great reliance can be placed.
