11011017G11 HOP iItIEARKET.

The accounts from the plantations still coming very un •
favourable, an alarming increase of fly being apparent
amongst the young bine, the demand for all kinds of hops is
active, and last week's advanced rates of from 8s to lOs per
cwt are fairly supported. So small a quantity of hops on
offer in this market has not been known for upwards of 25
years as at this moment.

TALLOW.
We have no alteration to notice respecting prices for Tal-
low. The demand for Y.C. during the week has been very
limited; other descriptions, such as South American, New
South Wales, Town Tallow, &c., being considerably less in
price, naturally throws the demand on them. In New Y.C.
there is very little business doing, and the price is 41s. 6d.
for the last three months, at which there are good buyers.
Town Tallow is 395. to 395. 6d. net cash.

MONE Y-AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was a very dull market for Cotton at Liverpool on
Saturday, and the tendency of prices was still downwards.
Sales only 2,500 bales, of which speculat ors only took 300.
Shares are rather better, and there were buyers of the prin-
cipal lines. Eastern Counties, 12i ; Birmingham, 226 ;
Ditto, Thirds, 88; Brighton, 45i ; South-Western, 87i ;
Midland Counties, 894; North Midland, Half, 45; Paris and
Lyons, 31. Is. 6d. ; South-Eastern, 38i ; Ditto, New, I2i.
Accounts from the North of England state, in reference to
the corn trade, that the demand for foreign wheat is slow,
and not much business has passed therein at Hull during the
past week; what has taken place has been at lower rates;
the same remarks apply to barley, but the other descriptions
of spring corn are held with more firmness. The supplies
of wheat and barley from abroad have been on a large scale
during the present week, and a considerable portion of the
former has been paid duty upon. Spring sown corn is still
suffering from the effects of so prolonged a continuance of
dry weather, the few showers that have fallen, though bene-
ficial to a certain extent, being very far short of what is re-
quired in the present parched state of the soil in many
districts.

The English Stocks have been rather flat to-day, and there
is not much business doing. For transfer to-morrow Consols
have realised 9913- to h, and for Time the same. Exchequer
Bills have been rather higher, a notice for the usual paying
oft; and the renewal at Ihd. per centum. per diem having ap-
peared. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been
marked 102 h to ; the Reduced, 1011. to ; and the Three
per Cents. 98i to Bank Stock has been rather firmer, .viz.
192 to 193 ; but India Stock has receded to 2861 and 285.
The Commissioners have taken 20,0001. Reduced at 98i.
The Foreign market has been more animated. Spanish
Active Bonds have realised 23i to 23k, and the
Three per Cents. 34i to 34k, having taken rather a wider
range for account, viz. from 34# to 35. Portuguese
Converted Bonds have been steady at 46S to 47,
the accounts from Lisbon being more satisfactory. Mexican
Deferred Stock has realised 15k, and Colombian Bonds have
been heavy at 14h ; Peruvian are 288 ; Chiliau Deferred
Stock is 52 to h ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
alternated from 601,- to 61k; Russian are 1174 to 118.
The Rail way Shares look firm again, with one or two ex-
ceptions. Birmingham, South-Western, and the French
lines are buoyant. Birmingham and Gloucester are not quite
so good, being 10 disceunt. The Banks are dull.

MARRIAGE TN HIGH LlFE.—This morning was
married, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square, by the
Rev. Gilbert Elliot, Viscount Melgund, eldest son of the
Earl of ➢linto, to Emma Eleanor Elizabeth Hislop, daughter
of the late Sir Thomas and the Lady Emma Hislop. There
were present on the interesting occasion the Earl and Lady
Minto, Lord and Lady John Russell, Lord and Lady Auck-
land, lion. Robert Eden, and several other noblemen and
gentlemen of distinction. At the conclusion of the ceremony,
the happy pair, together with their friends, proceeded to the
residence of the bride's mother, in Wilton-crescent, where a
splendid dejeuner was given by her Ladyship.
MISS CLARA SEYTON'S LECTURE ON COMEDY.—
We perceive that Miss Clara Seyton, who a short time since
made a successful debiit at the Princess's Theatre, gives
Lecture on Comedy at the Princess's Concert-room on Ttie,
day evening. The programme includes notices of all the
principal comic writers from the days of Aristophanes—of
course the comedies of our own immortal Shakspeare occupy
a prominent place. The lecture is to be illustrated by songs
and recitations ; and from Miss Clara Seyton's known
talents and versatility, we doubt net but the subject will re-
ceive full justice at her hands.
ETON COLLEGE 4TH OF JUNE REGATTA.—We have
been requested by the authorities of Eton College to state,

consequence of the ram at Ascot, which commence on the
4th of June. • .
