BOROUGH HOP

There is a moderate anonTt of business doing in good
and useful hops, but without leading to any change in the
quotations. All other kinds of hops moved off slowly at
barely late rates, owing to the pressure of foreign quali-
ties, the imports of uk:ch last week wore 169 bales from
Hamburg.

Now Mid and East Kent Pockets, 70s to 120 s ; Weald of
Kent do., 56s to 70s; New Sussex do., 52s to 625; Year-
lings, 21s to 50s.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Only limited supplies of home-grown potatoes continue
on sale here, and their gen'ral quality is by no means first-
rate. Liberal supplies have come to hand from the Conti-
nent since Monday last, viz., 32 tons from Ostend, 620 tons
from Antwerp, 612 tons from Dunkirk, 2 tons from Rot-
terdam, 58 tons from Neuport, 844 tans from Rouen, 80
tons from St. Valory, and 35 tons from Calais. most
kinds are in fair request, at full prices.
York regents, 120 s to 1808 per ton ; Essex and Kent,
120 s to 11Us ; Scotch, 80s to 1303 ; ditto cups, 755 to 85s ;
middlings, 50s to 635; Lincoln's, 120 s to 150 s; blues,
—s to —s ; foreign, 65a to 100 s.

WOOL.
During the week the imports of wool into London have
been only about 100 bales from the Continent. For good
and fine English qualities the demand is steady, and prices
are well supported, but other kinds are a dull inquiry. As
the public sales will commence on Thursday next, there is
literally no inquiry for either foreign or colonial qualities.

Ireland, including a large number of volunteers
from the various embodied militia regiments, for
the purpose of joining the depot companies of In-
dian regiments attached to the three battalions of
infantry at that garrison.
Several movements have taken place in Colches-
ter camp during the last few days. On Friday the
Ist bat. of 60th Rifles, 3d bat. of the 60th depot,
and 2d and 3d battalions Rifle Brigade loftifor Win-
chester, with the exception of 50 men who are
about to be despatched to India. The officers in
oommand were Capt. Biggs, Capt. Batteisby, Capt.
Rowles, and Lieut. Pardon. These troops are suc-
ceeded by the depots of the 19th Regiment Capt.
Currie ; 43d, Capt, Holmes; 86th, Capt. Welman;
and the Ist battalion 6th Foot. A further draught

The War Department having yielded to the re-
quest of Mr. Mallet, forwarded by the authorities
of Woolwich Arsenal, to sanction another series of
experiment•, the monster mortar ban ten air
dismounted, in order to examine and repair the
damages sustained by the late proof in Woolwich
marsh. The third experiment may, therefore, be
expected to take place during the ensuing month
of March. At a recent mee.ing of the officers of the
select committee it was decided to abandon any
further attempt to recover the remainder of the
shells used in the former experiments, it being COll.
sidered that the outlay requ red for that purpose
would far exceed their actual value. Meetings
co mposecl,of the forme Wand workmen of the Royal
arsenal were last week held in the Royal paper
factory, with the view of calling the, attention of
Lord Pantnure to the presumed injustice of a high
rate of income tax ordered to be levied on the body
through an increase of pay, obtained by over hours
and night work, during the two years pending the
Russian War.

The Royal carriage department, under the supe
rintendence of Colonel Tulloch, RA., is actively
engaged in forwarding the immediate execution of
the outstanding orders for coast defences, which

ordered to be employed over hours for that pur-
pose, so as to turn out in addition to the allotted
number of gun-carriage, platforms, 1.7„)., one com-
plete battery per week.

The ship Helvellyn, Captain Lash, put in at the

Wright, the Assistant Quartermaster-general of
the South-West district, on Saturday with a letter
from Capt. Lash, representing that in the present
state of the wind it might yet be some time before
the ship reached Gravesend, and that it would
much conduce to the comfort of all if they could be

the situation of one of the soldier's wives. Colonel

order to land the troops and women at once, and
they were taken ashore in Lloyds' cutter.
