A.ll descriptions sold heavily, and prices had a downward
tendency.

BOROUGH HOP.

From most part 6 of the plantations the accounts respect-
ing the crop aro favourable. In this market, since we last
wrote, very little business has been transacted in any de-
scriptions of hops, and pri'Zlea have had a downward ten-
dency. The supply of foreign hops is moderately large.

COLONIAL.
TEA,—The public sales have progressed very slowly, and
inferior qualities are at slightly reduced quotations.
SUGAE.—The market has been moderately active, and
good grocery descriptions have fully sustained former
values. In the refined market there is no change to report
as regards quotations for dried goods.
COlTEE.—Colonial descriptions have been in moderate
request, but inferior qualities have generally receded about
6d. to ls. per cwt.
RICE.—The demand for East India has been more active,
and Lull rates are demanded by importers.
SALTPETRE.—NO business of importance has been re-
ported, and prices remain without alteration.
TALLOW.—The dealings for both present and forward
delivery have been on the most limited scale, and prices
have shown less buoyancy. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted
425. and last three months 45s per cwt.
GREEN FRUIT.--Good oranges and lemons sustain
the advanced prices obtained of late, the stock being
short. Further arrivals of West India pines, 10,000, per
Kate, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale, went at an
advance, the quality and condition being superior to those
previously obtained. Nuts of all kinds dull, summer fruits
being preferred at this season of the year.

A BELLRINGER KILLED BY LIGHTNING.—A man
fell a victim at Blotzheim (Haut-Rhin) three days back to
the superstitious custom prevalent in many rural districts
of tolling the church bells during a storm to drive away
the thunder. Three men had been sent to the belfry for
the abova purpose during a thunderstorm, when the light•
ning struck the church tower, and, descending one of the
bell-ropes, killed the ringer who held it. _ _

CAPPING AN OLD JOKE WIT Et A NEW ONE.--
A.
clergyman, with a reputation for story telling,
one day asking the late Dr. Wilson, Bishop of Calcutta,
the old conundrum, how a man who had bought two fish
round he had three when he reached home. The bishop
gave it up, and the chaplain explained " he had two wake-
rd and one smclta" " Ah,"said the bishop, s' that's poor,
for he must have bought that too I"
Another bull-fight has just taken place at NiSMes
(Gard), the toreadors on this occasions eing Frenchmen.
Numerous feats of address were display during the pro-
' ,-Alings, and two of the combatants received wounds, not,
however, of a sufficient gravity to place their lives in
• danger.
