BOROUGH HOP MARKET-THIS DAY.

Messrs. Pattenden and Smith report that the weather the
last few days having become warmer, the Hope in many
places have made a little progress, except in parts of Mid
and East Kent, where mould and blight is still said to be
doing serious injury more particularly amongst the Golden
i Hops. It is stated n a Brussels paper that from 'deices
received from Alost, the Hops have suffered much from
blight and storms, and that only half a crop can be calcu-
lated on, and very various in quality. The market re-
mains very Arm, and the duty stationary at from 155,000/.
to 180,0001. Nine pockets of New Keats have arrived, and
two pockets of Sussex. The former have been selling
from 101. 10s. to 131. 13s. per cwt.; the latter at 81.8 x.,
being mach battered by wind and unripe.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—This day the new
commissioner, Mr. Serjeant Murphy, took his seat for the
first time, and a very crowded attendance at an early hour
took place of counsel, solicitors, and clients, anxious to pro-
ceed with the heavy business occasioned during the vacation.
His Honour had several cases in hand from Mr. Commis-
sioner Phillips's court, but none of particular interest.
BLOCKADE OF THE WATFORD TUNNEL.—Last
Friday evening the train due at Aylesbury at five o'clock
did not reach the town until seven. Much uneasiness,
therefore, was the result, especially to those who expected
friends at that time. When the train at last arrived we
were assured that no accident had happened to any human
being, bat that they had been detained at Watford for two
hours, unable to proceed by season of something wrong
within the tunael. No notice of the calamity has appeared
in any of the journals, and this is the more to be regretted
as it was of a very serious nature. A luggage train broke
down within the tunnel, and was completely smashed to
pieces, so much so, that two hours elapsed before a multi-
tude of workmen could clear away the rubbish, and lines
of carriages, extending a mile and a half, awaiting the
opening of the passage. What caused the break down has
not been revealed. Railway officers are pledged to secresy
in suclimatteri, and the policy of the directors is, as much
as possible, to keep the world in the dark. Nothing, how-
ever, could be more alarming than the idea of such a
calamity within a tunnel of so much extent.—Bucks Ad-
vertiser.
A WEALTHY CONVICT.—About twenty years ago
a man named Connors was transported from the neigh-
bourhood of 13-rrisoleigh, for attacking the house of a man
along with others, was prosecuted by

quently obtained his liberty. He became an extensive
farmer in the colony, and accumulated a large sum of
money. Last week, a sister of hi,, a poor woman residing
near BorrisJleigh, received the large and unexpected sum
of 8001. from the executors of her brother.—A'enas
Guardian.
A CHILD KILLLD IN THE STREET.—A frightful
accident, attended with fatal results, happened on Saturday
night, when one of Pickford's heavy vans was proceeding
across Wilmington-equare to tho station, a child, in a play-
ful mood, ran off the pavement into the road just as the
van was passing, and was knocked down and crushed to
death instantaneously. The driver was taken into custody
to await a legzl investigation. The want of
,eallthilt at
parents in this locality is remarkable, where the caattlenial
annoyance of heavy railway vehicles dills tar inerasard
vigilance and care over children playing in thoslreeta..
