BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.

Coastwise and by railway, full average supplies of
potatoes, in good condition, have come to hand ; and
from Antwerp we have received 759, from Nieuport 39,
from llamburgh 63, and from Rotterdam 80 tons
Selected qualities are in steady request, at about ste.
tionary prices ;'but the middling and out of condition
qualities are somewhat easier to purchase. York
Regents, 1004 to 1404; ditto Shaw's, 100 s to 1104; Wis-
beach Regents, 90s to 120 s; Scotch Cups, 110 s to 120 s;
ditto Whites, 90s to 1004; Kent and Essex' Regents
100 s to 120 s; Dutch Whites, 60s to 80s; Belgian, 80s
to 100 s per ton.

BOROUGH SOP TIXARREIN
Although the supply of Hops on offer is by no means
large, the demand for all descriptions is heavy. In
prices, however, we have no change to notice. Sussex
Pockets, 31 to 3165; Weald of Kent ditto, 313 s to 31 10s;
Mid and East Kent ditto. 31 5s to 518 s per cwt.
WOOL.

The imports of Wool into London, since this day
se'nnight, have been somewhat extensive, via., 106 bales
from Antwerp, 490 ditto from Alexandria, 207 ditto
from Sydney, 208 ditto from Monte Video, 40 ditto from
Havre, 23 ditto from Hambro', and 120 ditto from seri-
ous other quarters. In the private contract market
there is a slight improvement in the demand for the
best descriptions of English and Colonial Wools, at full
prices; but all other kinds are quite neglected.

TALLOW.
The market, is firm, and prices are well supported,
both on the spot and for the autumn. In new Tallow
the quotation is 46s 3d for the last three months, and
46s 6d for separate months, with but few, if any, sellers
at the prices. Town is 52s to 53s net cash. Rough fat
2s Hid per Blbs.

HARWlcn.—The election of Sir John Cam llob-
house for Harwich, on Saturday last, in opposition
to Mr. Manners Sutton, no mean opponent, and to
all the power and influence of Mr. John Attwood,
does credit to the Liberal party in that borough, and
proves that principle still holds sway with a majority
of the constituency. Sir John Hobhouse having
been originally solicited to stand for the borough,
having acceded—then having withdrawn his consent,
and not only his consent, but actually having pub-
lished his address retiring from any claim to the
representation, had every disadvantage against him.
Still the electors of Harwich feeling that their own
character was at stake, and that it became them to
show that they had the will to choose, and the honesty
of purpose to elect a Liberal representative, put up
Sir John Hobhouse, and without one farthing of cost
or expenditure to him, carried him by a majority,
if not numerically large, at all events pure and un-
assailable. It is the first time that Harwich ever
returned two Liberals to Parliament, and in redeem-
ing its own character the principles of Liberal
Government have been supported in a quarter the
more to be estimated, because the more unexpected.
THE LORD MATOR.—The Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor was absent from the Central Criminal Court
at the opening of the session this morning, in conse-
quence of having received, early this morning, a com-
munication from Sir George Grey, requesting his
immediate attendance at the Home-office, with a view,
no doubt, to consult all the Ministers as to the best
arrangements to be made in order to preserve the
public peace.
CHIEF CLERK OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—It is
now generally understood about the Houses of Par-
liament—very much to the regret of every one—that
Sir David Dundas, the late Solicitor-General, has
declined, in consequence, of the extremely delicate
state of his health, the Chief Clerkship of the House
of Lords, which was offered t) him, as we stated,
about a fortnight ago. A rumour is very current
that the brother of the Speaker of the House of
Commons is likely to receive the appointment.

SOUTH AMERICA.
Lxvintrocx., SATURDAY.—The screw steamer Antelope,
which arrived here this evening, has brought papers
from Monte Video to January 7, Rio Janeiro, February
9, and Bahia to the 26th of February. The news from
the two former places has been anticipated by previous
arrivals. That from Bahia mentions that commercial
affairs were in a dull condition, very little being done in
the vari(ms markets. Exchange on England was
quotcd at 27,i to 28. A good amount of specie was
taken. Freights were 655. per ton, and no vessels
disengaged at that port.

Lord Brougham has reached Paris from Cannes,
after travelling by easy stages, owing to his recent ill-
ness. The Noble and Learned Lord is expected to arrive
in London on Wednesday or Thursday next.
