HOP MARKET.

Friday.---Our market continues to be well
supplied with both English and foreign hops. Good and
fine samples move off steadily, at full prices : °the' wise
the trade is dull, and the quotations have a downward
tendency.—New Mid and 'East Kents, 120 s. to 200 n.;
New Weald of Kautz', 112 s. to 168 s. ; New Sussex, 110 s.
to 160 s. per cwt.

WOOL MARKET.
LoNDorr, Thursday.—English wool is very firm, and
prices are on the advance. Colonial qualities fully
support the recent improvement in their value.

GROCERS' GAZETTE.

In the colonial produce markets during the week ex
tended supplies of some articles have been brought
forward, which have faded, however, to influence prices
in any material degree. The various large parcels of
East India coffee submitted at the public sales have
chiefly been taken at the valuations. Importers of
plantation Ceylon showed a desire to meet the buyers,
and the whole of the quantity offered has been sold at
6d. to Is. per cwt. reduction. A floating cargo of Rio
has been disposed of for the Mediterranean at a com-
paratively good price. The only new feature in sugar
is the partially improved demand for West India at
about former rates. All kinds of rice sell slowly. The
spice sales have been larger than for some time past,
yet no changes occurred at those on Wednesday.
Further numerous cargoes of tea have arrived since the
9th inst.—via, the Falcon, Ellen Rodger, Whinfell,
Queensbnry, Soawfell, Robin Hood, Naomi. and the
Magnolia. There has been more activity in
the demand for the new season's congous, and
several chops have sold—Kaisow, at 2s. to Is. Id.;
Moning, at Is. id. to 2s. 64. There is no altera-
tion in teas of old import beyond a slightly increased
inquiry for brokemleaf congou at about 104. per lb.
The fruit market is not no active. There continues to
be a fair demand for currants, and prices for fine are
still high. The demand is not quite no good for
Malentia raisins, the assortment consisting chiefly of the
new descriptions, at 355. per cwt. Sultans, 395. to
405.. New Valentia currants have sold fairly at
308. to 32a. Turkey fruit at late prices.—Butter, Bacon,
and Cheese.—Butter : Dorset, 114 s. to 118 s; Cork, 90s.
to 100 s, per cwt.; Fresh, 12s. Od. to 15s. Od. per
121b..—Bacon: Wilts dried, 688. to 745; Irish green,
60s. to 66s.—Hams: York, 90s. to 100 s. per owt—
Cheese : Cheshire, 565. to 755.; Cheddar, 60s. to 765. ;
Double Gloucester, 68s. to 645. per cwt.

EXXCIISION, —Catherine Wilson expiated her
crime on the scaffold this day (Monday.) The crowd
cheered the hangman.

Physiologists tells us that the images of external
objects are thrown upon the retina of the eye upside
down, and that this reversal is corrected by another
medium. Our readers will be tempted to believe that
the eyes of some Irishmen are wanting in this correcting
medium, and that in consequence they see things
exactly in the opposite way to that in which they
occur. Take the recent riots in Hyde Park for in-
stance. Everybody who saw them knows that it was
the Irish who initiated the use of bludgeons. The
editor of the Dublin Morning News puts it just the
other way, and appeals to his countrymen for subscrip-
tions in aid of the " poor Irish colts brutally assaulted
by the British Garibaldians," and who are "suffering
from Garibaldian knives and bludgeons." Again, the
O'Donoghue, in responding to the appeal, encloses a
sovereign in a letter, in which he says that the Irish-
men in the park "were attacked by police, by Guards,
and by civilians," There is not much use in arguing
with men who labour under the disability of
seeing things exactly as they are not ; but we may ven-
ture to express an opinion that The O'Donoghue will
scareely do much to elevate his faith and his country-
men in the estimation of reasonable people by his de-
claration that those countrymen have in these riots
"done enough to prove that they are good Catholics
and good Irishmen."
Storrs OF WINTER.—On the North Yorkshire hills
on Sunday, snow and rain fell nearly all day, with cold
boisterous north-east winds. The weather in the north
has been very unsettled since Friday, and it is much to
be regretted that • large breadth of the harvest—oats
chiefly_is yet unsecured in the exposed positions, and
some crops still to cut. During the week very little
progress has been made with harvest; what has been
stacked has been in very damp condition, and factors
are wearied with offers of out-of-conditioned new
grain.
