HOP MARKET.

No variation in prices from our quotations of Monday. No
much doing, and that in the best descriptions.

PROVISION MARKET.

This market having received so large a supply from Ireland,
rade has become dull; prices, however, are not lower.

TALLOW MARKET.
P. Y. C. to-day was 58s. 6d. to 595., and but little doing.

OIL MARKET.

Although prices cannot actually be quoted lower, still they
are not so firm as they were, and there is not much doing.

METAL MARKET.

But little passing in this department ; prices,,however, re-
main much the same. Spelter is 191. ss.

COLONIAL MARKET.

to-day, and none advertised for to-morrow. The stock of
British Plantation Sugar is 32,363 hhds. and trs., and 1,778
barrels ; Bengal 7,120 bags ; Manila 67,252 bags; Mauri-

Count Ludolf is still detained by ill health at Lea-
mington, although much improved during his stay . Shortly
after his •i•eturn his Excellency will go to Paris, where he
has been appointed his Sicilian Majesty's Ambassador. It.
is rumoured that he will be succeeded at our Court by
Prince Butera, one of the richest noblemen of Sicily, and,
if we mistake not, nearly related to Lord Pembroke's lady.
THE LATE JUDGE PARK.—Sir James Allan
Park, says a correspondent, was the only son of a medical
gentleman, who, after practising with much reputation in
Edinburgh, settled at Newington, in Surrey. He received
a liberal education, and, being desirous of applying to the
study of the law, was placed under an eminent counsel in
the conveyancing branch of his profession. Called to the
bar in due course as a bencher of Lincoln's Inn, he soon
acquired notice by his skill in mercantile law and marine in-
surances, and, after succeeding to the honours of a silk gown,
was promoted, about twenty years back, to that seat upon
the bench which has not always been filled with so much
rectitude of principle or urbanity of manners. In 1787 he
published " A System of the Law of Marine Insurances,"
to the value of which strong testimony has been borne by
its extensive sale and multiplied editions. The Learned
Judge also wrote a non-professional work, intitled " An
Exhortation to the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper,"
which does great credit to the knowledge and piety from
which it proceeded.

THE POPE'S TOILET.—In the interior of his
palace, the pretended successor to St. Peter wears a cas-
sock of white cloth and lawn sleeves. On his shoulders is
a mozzetta, a sort of hood of red velvet lined with ermine,
and on his head a camauro, or sort of skull cap, descend-
ing to his ears. The camauro is also of red velvet, and
lined with ermine in winter. His Holiness's shoes are,
according to the season, of red cloth with gold embroidery,
or of red morocco, with an embroidered cross in the middle.
He never changes either the colour or shape of his gar-
ments, except at the Advent, in Lent, and the fast-days,
when he assumes a white woollen cassock. From Saturday
of the Holy Week to the following Saturday, he wears a
mozetta and a camauro of white damask. When he has
to go out, he wears moreover, an etole round his neck. The
Holy Father retains his usual dress in all the consistories.
THE CORN MONOPOLY.—The Leicestershire
Mercury, referring to Mr. Paulton's ablelectures on this sub-
ject, observes :—" The numerous facts adduced by that gen-
tleman constitute the best and most overwhelming evidence
of the folly and danger of the restrictive policy which has so
long been pursued in this country, especially as it regards
the staple article of food, and proofs of the truth of his
assertions are accumulating around us. We rejoice that
the plan of lecturing on great political subjects has begun
to receive more attention from some of the influential Re-
formers, those in Marylebone having determined to have
such addresses delivered monthly. If this system were to
be adopted generally, the most beneficial results would en-
sue. On some topics resident gentlemen might lecture with
great effect—a subject which we would recommend to the
attention of the Reform Society ; on others travelling lec-
turers would be listened to with more impartial and unpre-
judiced feelings. We congratulate the advocates of untaxed
food on their possession o so powerful an advocate as Mr.
Paulton, and we cannot but wish that the great apostle of
Corn Law Repeal (Ebenezer Elliott) might be engaged,
simultaneously with that gentleman, in this great an im-
portant work."
A concert that promises to be very interesting will
be given next Saturday at the Theatre de la Renaissance,
and at which Mdlle. Pauline Garcia, sister to the late
lamented Madame Malibran, will make her debut in Paris,
M. de Beriot will perform on the violin, and all the other
parts of this musical solemnity, vocal as well as instru-
mental, will be filled by performers of the highest eminence.

CHELMSFORD UNION,—The workhouse here con-
tains at this time 306 paupers, of whom 52 are girls, between
the ages of 6 and 15 ; 54 boys, from 7 to 13, and 31 chil-
dren under 7, most of them orphans or fatherless. There
are also 12 men in the house under the class of able-bodied,
mostly with their wives and families, but not on account of
the number of children, with one exception, the largest
family being five children, others two, three, and four, but
partly owing to the slackness of work ; they are not all
general labourers, and some few have not exerted themselves
to provide for their necessities. Many able-bodied labourers,
with families so numerous that even something more than
the common rate of wages, at the present price of flour,
would not enable them to support, have accepted orders for.
the house, but are still struggling with an earnest desire to
keep out. The test now lies between the workhouse and
wages ; the interests of the master, and those of the honest
and efficient servant, being mutual.—Essex Herald.
In the Sheriff's' Court yesterday, a Glasgow gentle-
man named Buchanan recovered two guineas from a tailor
in Pall-mall, named Nicholls, being the amount which
plaintiff had paid defendant for a seat at his drawing-room
window to view the Coronation procession. Defendant had
stipulated that there should not be more than seven per-
sons admitted to the balcony, whereas he crammed twelve
into it, to the great inconvenience of the plaintiff; and Mr,
Buchanan having gone out of the house after the cavalcade
had passed, was refused admittance when he came back to
witness its return, on the ground that the ticket which he
presented was a forgery.
Between twelve and one o'clock yesterday afternoon,
as a man named Thomas Johnson was; walking along Fleet-
street, he fell down suddenly, and blood was perceived
issuing from his mouth. He was immediately conveyed to
the shop of Mr, Lowden, Fleet-street, and medical aid
being procured, it was ascertained he had broken a blood-
vessel. He died a few minutes afterwards. The body was
taken to the Mitre Tavern, Chancery-lane, to await a
Coroner's inquest.
Yesterday morning two Irish bricklayers were re-
ceived into the London Hospital, the one with a broken
leg and the other with a fractured skull, injuries received
by falling from a scaffold upon which they were at work,
at a house in Old-street-road. The Plank on which they
were standing had given way. Both are in a very preca-
rious condition. One of them has, it is said, already been
in different hospitals three times from similar accidents.
They have large families depending upon their labour for
