BOROUGH HOP.
From most parts of thc-, plantations the accounts respect-
ing the crop are favourable. In this market, since we last
wrote, very little business has been transacted in any de-
scriptions of hops, and prices 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.
SuGadt.—The market has peen moderately active, and
good grocery descriptions have fully sustained former
value.. In the refined market there is no change to report
as regarids quotations for dried go, ds.

request, but inferior qu,slities have generally receded about
6d. to ls. per ewt,

and full rates are demanded by importers.
SALTPETRE.—No business of importance has been re-
ported, and prices remain without alteration.

delivery have been on the most limited scale, and prices
nave shown less buoyancy. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted
425. and last three months 45s per cwt.
GREEN FRWIT.—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 LIGIITNING.—A man
fell a victim at Blotxheim (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 above purpose during a thunderstorm, when the light•
ning struck the church tower, and, descending one of the
ball-ropes, killed the ringer who held it.
CAPPING AN OLD JCIKE WITH 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
found he had three when he reached home. The bishop
gave it up, and the chaplain explained " he had two or acka
rel and one smelt." " Ah,"said the bishop, "that's poor,
for he must have bought that too I" es
