HOP INTELLIGENCE.--WORCESTERI OCT.
15.--In consequence of a large supply of new Hops
being at market on Saturday last, a decided flatness in
the demand was observed, and some of the lowest de-
scriptions did not fetch so much by ss. per cwt. as on
the previous market. Fine qualities come in very short,
and are difficult to obtain at the late currency. Duty
13,00 C/. Tne scale returns for planters' Hops sold and
weighed on Saturday last is, new, 1,348 ; old, 178. In
the week, new', 744, and old, 142. Present prices, per
rown 100 s. to 1205.; fine, 130 s. to 1475.; choice,
150 s. to 1605.; 1839'5, from 90s. to 1265.; 1837'5, from
60s. to 845.; very few old Hops left.
ACCIDENT ON THE DUNDEE RAILWAY.—
On Monday last, as the up-mail train from Arbroath was
passing Westhaven, an old woman was standing upon the
rails at the foot-crossing in the curve there. As soon as
the engineer observed her he reversed his engine, and
sounded the alarm whistle, but from the speed at which
the train was going, it was impossible to stop it in time,
and the coigine struck the old woman upon the right
shoulder, threw her off the line, and killed her on the,
epot.—Dugdee Paper,
