11072.01M8 HOP MAIMET.

We have no change to notice in the general features
of our market. Really fine Hops are scarce, and quite
as dear; but all other kinds are neglected. Yearling and
Old liops almost nominal. New Hops—Sussex Pockets,
215 s to 21 18s ; Weald of Kent ditto, 21 $s to 31 5s ;
Mid and East ditto, 21 12s to 51 17s per cwt.

WOOL.
Last week's imports of Wool into London were con-
fined to 1,735:ba1es from South America. The compara-
tively favourable accounts received from the manufac-
turing districts have had considerable influence upon
our markets. In some instances rather more money has
been obtained for the finest qualities of Colonial Wool;
the value of all other kinds being firmly supported. The
following shows the total imports of Wool into the
United Kingdom during the first eleven months of the
three past years:—

... 59,491,853
... 55,366,321
. 61,745,348
TALLOW.
Although this market may be considered somewhat
firmer, prices have receded 3d per cwt since Monday last.
The stock is now upwards of 35,000 casks ; and P.Y.C.
on the spot, is quoted, so-day, at 41s 9d to 42s per cwt.
There is rather more doing for forward delivery. The
quantity of Tallow on the way from St. Petersburgh is
now about 4,600 casks. Rough Fat is 2s 5d per 81b.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr.• Commisiioner F&NE.)
IN RE READ.
This bankrupt had formerly kept the Saracen's Head
Inn at Northampton, and at the Unicorn, Stone's End,
Borough. He now came up for his certificate.
The debts amounted to 1,163 L, and the assets received
by the official assignee, only amount to 61., the assets
being stated good debts 61. No creditor's assignee had
been appointed:
Mr. LAWRENCE, for the bankrupt, said no creditor
now opposed, and Mr. Burleigh (of the firm of Bur-
leigh and Co., distillers) had withdrawn a proof tendered
on a previous occasion, and had refused to become as-
signee. Mr. Lawrence said that the great loss had been

incurred in consequence of the falling off in trade at the
inn at Northampton through the railways, it having
bet n a coaching house.
His HoNoua asked Mr. Whitmore, the official as-
signee, whether he had any objection to urge against the
bankrupt, and was answered in the negative. His Honour
then said that it could hardly be expected that after a
person had got rid of the whole of the property, creditors
would come forward at expence and trouble.
Mr. LAWRENCE said that the business was in fact that
of the bankrupt's step-daughter, and carried on in her
name. _ _ _ _

His HONOUL—Then how is it that he incurred the
debts ? The fact is, he held himself out as carrying
on the business, but when he was pressed, and he was
insolvent, then he stated that the property belonged to
some one else. His Honour ultimately adjourned the
certi:cate fur twelve months from the date of the fiat,
without protection.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.)

IN RE HICKS.
The insolvent, the well known performer at the Surrey
and Victoria Theatres, and latterly landlord of the Fish-
mongers' Arms, St. George's road, Southwark, came up
to put in bail.
The Learned COMMISSIONER, after going through the
schedule observed that be found, from the description
which the insolvent had given of himself, that he was a
comedian. Was that the case ?
The insolvent replied that he was a performer.
The COMMISSIONER—What assets have you to divide
amongst your creditors ? Insolvent—Nothing.
The COMMISSIONER—Have you been anything else
besides a performer?
The insolvent replied, that he had for a period of from
fifteen to eighteen months been the landlord of the
Fishmongers' Arms, St. George's-road, which turned
out a bed speculation. It was a dead loss to him.
The COMMISSIONER—When you undertook that, then
you undertook a ♦ery bad part ?
The insolvent replied, it was the worst part he had
ever performed in.
The COMMISSIONER inquired if any creditors opposed
the hail, when no answer being given, Mr. Richards, a
peruke•maker, and Mr. Hill, the landlord of the City
Arms, West-square, offered themselves, and were ac-
cepted.
The debts of the insolvent were not mentioned, but they
were understood to be considerable.

MA RLBRO'-ST REET-ITHIS DAY)

Thomas George, a sturdy young fellow, was brought
up on a warrant, charging him with having used threat-
ening language to W. Cooke, a young man residing at
the Bromley Arms, Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-square.
Mr. nobler, who attended on the part of complainant,
stated that the prisoner was formerly in the employ of
Mr. Chasney, the brother in-law of complainant. Since
his discharge he had pursued a system of annoyance,
not only to complainant but to Ilr. and Mrs. Chasney.
He had threatened their lives several times, and in one
instance, which led to the present proceedings, the pri-
soner d pulled out a knife and threatened to run it
into complainant's body. His client, therefore, went in
constant fear lest the prisoner should carry his threat
into execution.
William Cooke deposed that he was in the employ of
Mr. Chasney, landlord of the Bromley Arms, Cleveland-
street. The prisoner was formerly in the same employ,
but from some cause or other he was discharged. On
last Wednesday week the prisoner came into the shop,
and used very abusive and threatening language to-
wards witness and Mrs. Chasney. Witness desired him
to leave the house peaceably, and not to annoy them.
He refused, and having pulled out a large knife,
threatened to run it into him. Witness became alarmed,
and ran into the parlour, and prisoner left the place.
Mrs. Emily Chasney said the prisoner had repeatedly
threatened her life, and she was fearful, unless he was
restrained from committing any violence, that he would
carry his threats into execution.
The prisoner, in defence, said be went into the Brom-
ley Arms on Wednesday week last, and was standing at
the bar drinking some beer, when the complainant
Cooke came and ordered him out of the house. He de-
nied using any threats, or even pulling out his knife. He
certainly did tell him that if he laid hands upon him be
would serve him out as be had done before.
Mr. BINGHAN said, the prisoner was in a
house which was not his own, and if his com-
pany was not acceptable to the owners, they
had an undoubted right to order him out. If he refused
to leave quietly they had also a right to use moderate
force to put him out. He (prisoner) had no right to
threaten to serve them out as he had done before, and as
he had admitted using that threat, he (Mr. Bingham)
should require him to find two sureties in 201. each and
himself in 401. to keep the peace towards complainant
and all other persons in the same house for the space of
three months.

ALLEGED CASES OF CHOLERA

AT TOOTING.

TOOTING, SATURDAY.-We regret to state that the
sudden and extraordinary outbreak of cholera at the
Juvenile Poor Establishment, at Tooting, up to last even-
ing, continued, although in not so severe a form, to at-
tack its inmates.

The following statement, furnished to our reporter by
Mr. W. J. Kite, the resident medical officer of the asy-
lum, will put our readers in possession of the facts as
they at present stand with regard to the progre3s of the
disease up to last night, at six o'clock. Mr. Kite's report
is as follows:

" JUVENILE POOR ESTABLISHMENT.

" TOOTING, SATURDAY, JAN. 6.—Forty fresh cases of
cholera have occurred since four o'clock yesterday.
Many of them do not present the very severe symptoms
that exhibited themselves in the first cases. Neverthe-
less, the number of fatal cases have amounted to twelve
within the same time. Great numbers of the healthy
children have been removed from the premises, making
the number now remaining in the establishment consi-
derably less, consequently the numbt r of new cases of
cholera here may, of course, be expected to lessen. "
Mr. Grainger, from the Board of Health, isinsti-
tuting inquiries into the probable cause of the epidemic,
and, by his suggestion, the medical staff has been in-
creased by the addition of four qualified members of the
profession, so that the duties of attending to the sick are
much lightened.

IRELAND.
THE CASE OF MR. DUFFY.
DUBLIN, SATURDAY.--The proceedings
yesterday
in the Commission Court have presented the extraor-
dinary case of Mr. Duffy in quite a new aspect. The
presiding Judges have given it as their opinion that,
although certain portions of the indictment are bad,
there are counts sustaining the charge which are good,
and they, therefore, have determined to overrule the
demurrer ; but they decline the responsibility of pro-
nouncing final judgment upon the demurrer, which
would debar the prisoner from a trial before a jury.
The case has been adjourned until Thursday, when
the Crown counsel are to determine upon the course
to be pursued in such novel and difficult circum-
stances.

Respecting the chances of a trial, the Freeman's
Journal says—
" Whether that trial is to take place now, or after
the summation of an infinite series of new „adjourn-
ments, in which probably some novel points of cri-
minal law may be settled at the joint expense of Mr.
Duffy and her Majesty's treasury, the proceedings of
Thursday next will determine. In the meantime,
however, it does not tend to disembarrass the course
of the Crown lawyers that Mr. Duffy has presented
his petition, under the Habeas Corpus Act, to be tried
at this commission, and that by the provisions of that
statue he is entitled, at the close of the commission, if
not tried, to be discharged."
DUBLIN, SUNDAY.—EMIGRATION—SALES OF GO.
YERNMBNT STOCK.—FOF some weeks past the sums
of money drawn out of the Bank of Ireland, by far-
mers emigrating to America, have been very consi-
derable in amount. However strange it may appear,
there have also been sales of Government Stock by
those farmers, in small amounts, but in the aggregate,
to a large sum. In the cash offices of the Bank of
Ireland, any day, you can see those freize-coated
emigrants drawing out their savings, preparatory to
a winter voyage across the Atlantic.
REPRESENTATION OF DONEGAL.
Since the death of Colonel Conolly, which took

St. Ernanis (who has so much distinguished himself
by his efforts to promote employment on his estate in
Donegal), would be called upon to start for that
county. It has also been stated that Mr. Thomas
Conolly, late sheriff, intends to offer himself. It is
probable that some arrangement will be made to pre-
vent a contest, as the landlords of Donegal have
been considerable sufferers from the long-continued
distress, which so terribly affects all classes. Lord
Mountcharles, son of the Marquis of Conyngham,
has also been spoken of as a candidate.
