BOROUGH HOP IYLELILHET.

The heavy rains of the present week having cleared
the bine of a large portion of vermin, the plantation ac-
counts received to day are considered more favourable.
Dealers, therefore, purchase with extreme caution, and
the demand for all kinds of llops is in a sluggish state,
at barely the late advance in the quotations. In some
instances prices are nominal. The duty is mow called
60,0001 to 75,0001. The supply of Hops on offer is by
no means large. Sussex pockets, 31 105 to 41 10s;
Weald of Kent pockets, 31 12s to 41 10s; Mid and East
Kent pockets, 414 s to 71 7s per cwt.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff POTTER.)
HOOll. V. NEALE.
This was an action to recover the sum of 171. 11:H.
and interest on a bill of exchange, of which
defendant was the acceptor. A plea of non-ac-
ceptance was put on the record, but there was no attempt
to support it. A portion of the claim was 41. for interest.
The Learned SECONDARY said that he did not take
upon himself to compute the interest.
The plaintiff's attorney said the calculation was under
the mark, in order to save disputes and costs on taxation.
A juror said he would compute the interest himself
before he gave a verdict.
The plaintiff's attorney said that he would take care
not to ask for a verdict for more than was due.
The jury thereupon gave a verdict for the amount
claimed.

SAME V. EDWARS.
This action was against the defendant as indorser of
the same bill. She had pleaded that she did not indorse,
&c. A summons had been taken out, calling upon her
to admit, before a Judge, that the indorsement was in
her handwriting, but she abided by the pica, in support
of which, however, no evidence was now offered.

The plaintiff's attorney called his clerk to prove that
he went to defendant, who said that the indorsement was
in her handwriting, and she did not see how she could
" back out of it."
The SECONDARY asked whether the defendant was in-
formed of the object of the witness's calling.
The witness said that he distinctly told her that he
called to ask the question to save expense, and that her
answer would be given in evidlce on the trial.
The SECONDARY—When admissions of this kind are
sought, the parties:ought always to be made aware of the
object of the inquiry, or the evidence ought not to be
received. Indeed, under some circumstances Ido not
know that I should not refuse to receive it even then.
The attorney said he could have had more evidence,
but the object was to save expense; and he thought the
course adopted was the most expedient. He could him-
self have given evidence, if at liberty to do so, of endea-
vours to settle the matter.

The Learned SECONDARY said he did not doubt the
testimony of the witness in this case; there was no rea-
son to disbelieve him; but he did not like to see a case
depend so entirely on an admission.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

THE NEW COAL EXCHANGE.
The Lord Mayor and several of the principal members
of the Corporation went yesterday to view the new Coal
Exchange in its progress to completion.
This building, which will, it is believed, be finished in
a month from the present date, has been erected by the
Corporation of London, in order to facilitate the trans.
action of the vast increase of business carried on by the
coal trade of the city of London, the former building
which stood on a portion of the new site having been
found inconvenient and inadequate for the business of
the market.

The new building, which is entirely faced with Port-
land stone, being'situated at the corner of St. Mary-at-
hill and Lower Thames-street, presents two principal
fronts in the Italian style of architecture; the main en-
trance forming a circular corner, above which is a tower
of considerable height, also of stone, and in the same
style of architecture, and containing the principal stair-
case leading to the several stories of the building,
which is of considerable magnitude; the internal ar-
rangements, containing in the centre a circular area,
sixty feet i❑ diameter, appropriated for the meeting of
the merchants and factors, surmounted by a dome, and
about 80 feet in height, formed with cast iron ribs, and
covered with large plates of ground glass, the eye in the
centre, which is 16 feet in diameter, supporting a cupola
of lemon-coloured glass. The dome is erected entirely
in cast iron, ornamented stanchions supporting pro
jetting galleries, also of cast iron, on a level with the
several stories of the building, and forming the accesses
to the offices to be appropriated for the merchants and
factors, and the various official departments connected
with the business of the market.

The floor of the circular area is composed of various
coloured woods in the form of a mariner's compass, con-
taining in the centre a shield of the City arms, an anchor,
and other embellishments, the whole encircled by a fret
border, also in woods of various colours.

A portion of the decorative part of this floor is formed
with part of an oak tree which had been found imbedded
in the river Tyne, and which had lain there evidently for
several centuries.

The lower part of the dome and other portions of the
interior have been decorated by Mr. Sang with paintings
in encaustic, arranged by Mr. Bunning, the architect of
the building, and representing fossil remains of plants
and other vegetation found in the substance of coal; also
the various implements used by the miners, views of the
various colleries, ;interspersed with other ornaments,
which Mr. Sang and his assistants have executed in a
very skilful and elegant manner.
The remains of the Roman Bath, discovered in exca-
vating for the foundation of the building, have been en-
tirely preserved, and access provided to afford opportu-
nity for its inspection.
The interior of the building contains several hundred
tons of cast iron, ornamented with symbols of the coal
trade.

This handsome edifice has been erected, at a' cost of
about 40,0001., from designs and under the superintend-
ence of Mr. Bunning, the architect to the Corporation,
and is highly creditable to his taste and ingenuity from
its originality and style of construction. Mr. W. Trego
is the contractor for the building and Messrs. Dewer for
the iron work. The ornamental floor of the merchants'
area has been formed by Messrs. Davison and Lyming-
ton, and seasoned by their patent dessicating procei•s;
and on the completion of the new building, also in course
of erection by the Corporation, at Billingsgate-market,
under the superintendence of Mr. Bunning, these two
structures will rank amongst the leading features of the
metropolis.

THE POTATO CROP.—The accounts which we re-
ceive from all quarters, through private coinraithications
as well as the press, are of a most cheering nature. The
late soft rains have done wonders, we would almost say
effected miracles. As an instance in point, we might
mention the fact that several gardens in the immediate
neighbourhood of this city, which last week exhibited
every appearance of confirmed and even malignant
disease, are now blooming and beautiful, new green
sprouts having replaced black and rotten stalks. We
have heard of cases where the disease appeared and dis-
appeared 0241:7 as three times.—Cork Examiur.
