BOROUGH HOP.

We have to report continued steadiness in the demand
for English hops at extreme rates. American qualities
move off freely, at full prices ; and Continental parcels
quite support previous quotations. Last week's import
amounted to 77 bales from Hamburg-80 Bremen-1186
Dunkirk-41 Rotterdam—and 342 bales New York.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Full average supplies of old home-grown potatoes con-
tinue on sale ; but the show of foreign produce is very
small, the import, last week, having amounted to only 29
sacks from Dunkirk. The supply of new potatoes is small,
and the quotation rema:ns at 12s, to 16s. per cwt.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FRAUDS ON THE BENETOLENT.--A BEGGING LETTER
IMPOSTOR.—Jane Johnson, a young woman, daughter of
a notorious begging letter impostor, living at Westminster,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with endeavouring to
obtain charitable contributions at 38, Duke-street, St.
James's, by means of false and fraudulent pretences.
Jane Sweeting, servant to Mrs, Roberts, of 38, Duke-
street, St. James's, said that about six weeks ago the pri-
soner called and aeked to see Mr. Monteith, and gave her a
note to give Mr. Monteith. The prisoner was told to call
again, but did not do so.
Mr. James Monteith said he lodged at 38, Duke-street,
and about six weeks ago a note purporting to come from
the Rev. Mr. Napier, of St. Lake's Parsonage, and con-
taining a memorial on behalf of a Mrs M'Alpin, was handed
to him by the last witness, and as he had been imposed
upon once before by a letter which purported to come from
b. clergyman at Brixton when he gave the person bringing
it half a sovereign, he told tin last witness to tell the pri-
soner to call again, but she did net do so.

James Fryer, one of the officers of the Mendicity Society,
said that he apprehended the prisoner on Saturday, and
on charging her with obtainin; money from Mr. Monteith
and other persons she admited it. He then took the
prisoner to 38, Duke-street, when the witness Sweeting
identified her as the person vho brought the letter about
six weeks ago. He wont yesterday, but could find no
t. Rev. Mr. Napier," or " St. Luke's Parsonage." He
knew the prisoner as the dauthter of a notorious begging
letter impostor of the name oe Johnson.
Mr, Tyrwhitt committed tie prisoner for three months,
with hard labour, stating that such offences did a great
deal of mischief, as they stolped charitable persons from
giving.
