BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

1 -----
A very active demand has sprung up for Weald of Kent
and Susseg pockets, the quotations of which have unproved
fully 2s per cwt. In other yearling hops, a steady business
is doing, at price; fully equal to those noted in our last. Old
hops are commanding' considerable attention, and their rates
have improved from 2/ to ,;:rer cwt. The supply of hops is
miserably small, with every pi.,pect of further advanced
currencies.
BOROUGH 'AND OPITAZZ7MX/S.
From Scotland, Yorkshire, and mast °thew' .ouarters, the
arrivals of potatoes at the water-side continue ex::: nsive for
the time of year, yet the demand for the best decriptb:_ils is
tolerably steady, at full prices,, but all other kinds are I: 1
mere drug.

YARMOUTH AND NORWICH RAILWAY.—The works
on this line have been lately proceeding with great rapidity.
With the exception of a small part at Thorpe, where the
line crosses the river, and another small part at Brundall,
the whole permanent railway will be laid on the Bth of Fe-
bruary ; when the Directors will traverse the entire distance
with a locomotive engine. Last week Mr. Robert Ste-
phenson inspected the line, and expressed himself highly
satisfied with the state of the works. At the Foundry-
bridge, the buildings are nearly erected for the terminus ;
the embankments have been formed, and the rails laid to the
first crossing on the river. It is expected that the whole
line will be opened to the public in April or May, being a
month or two earlier than was stated last year.—No7folk

means devised by the press to give the public every informa-

a supply of which reach Mr. Horn of this town daily.—New-

SELF ACCUSATION.—On Tuesday night a man
came up to a police patrol, and declared that he wishes' to
hand over to them a great culprit, who, after having robbed
his master, M. G--, a schoolmaster, had spent the money in
riot, and was now conscience-struck at his conduct "This , _.--r-- -------oA- 1
