NOROUGH AND SPZTALPIELDS.
For the time of the year, the supplies of Potatoes
continue extensive, yet the demand is in a very active
state, at full prices—or from 41 to 61 per ton.
BOROUGH HOP IVIARALLT.
From nearly or quite the whole of the plantations, the
accounts come more favourable. In parts of Kent and
Sussex, picking has already commenced, and we have
had a few pockets from the former county in fair condi-
tion, and which have found buyers, at from 91. to 10/.
per cwt. The trade is extremely heavy, and prices are
barely supported. The duty has advanced to 130,000/
Weald of Kent pockets, 6/ 4s to 61 12s ; Mid Kent
ditto, 71 4s to 91 16s ; East Kent ditto, 71 5s to 9/ ;
Choice ditto, 101 to 111 I Is; Sussex ditto, 6/ to 6/ 10s;
Mid Kent bags, 71 to 815 s.

made to the stocks
of Colonial Wool in London, the imports from New
South Wales during the week havinc, amounted to 1,800
bales. Of Foreign Wools the arrivals have been rather
limited, viz., 600 bales. No public sales are as yet an-
nounced, but auctions are looked forward to about the
middle or latter end of the present month. For English
wool the demand has ruled rather inactive since this day
se'nnight, yet prices have been supported. Foreign
Wool has also been a slow sale ; but in Colonial, espe-
cially in the finest qualities, a larger business is doing.
TALLOW MARKET.
This market continues firm, and the demand a fair
one for the time of year. The last arrivals from St.
Petersburgh brought us rather easier prices, wieh more
inclination on the part of the Russians to sell. Up to
the 20th of August, the shipments were 10,000 casks less
than last year ; and of the quantity already dispatched
to Great Britain, there is only about half the number of
casks to the same period last year. Town Tallow 40s 6d
to 41s, nett cash.

DREADFUL FIRE AT HAMBURG/1,-400 HOUSES
DESTROYED.—On the 9th of this month a fire broke out
in a narrow street near a theatre, and spread with such
rapidity to the higher part of the city, that in a few hours
about 400 houses, among which are many of the finest
in the city, were reduced to ashes.—Hamburgh Borsen-
halle, Aug. 30.
The Deptford Theatre, after having undergone ex-
tensive., repairs, is about to be opened by Mr. Cocker'll,
the clever comedian of the New Strand Theatre. A Mr.
W. Buckstone, an aspirant to dramatic fame, will
make his debut there.
NAVIGATION OF THE THAMES.—On Saturday the
new regulations that have been agreed upon by the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Court of Aldermen
came into operation, respecting steamers or steam-vessels
going up and down the river Thames. No Steam-boat
is henceforth allowed to go at a greater rate of speed
between Teddington Lock, in the parish of Ham, in the
county of Surrey, and Staines, in the county of Middle-
sex, than at five miles the hour with the tide, and four
miles an hour against the tide, without incurring the
penalty of 5/. for every such offence.

WRIT OF ERROR.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

OPINIONS OF THE JUDGES.

This morning being the time appointed for the
Judges to give their opinions on the points submitted
to them by the House of Peers in the important case
of the Queen v. O'Connell and others, the approaches
to the House of Lords were occupied at a very early
hour by persons anxious to gain admittance. The
doors were opened at ten o'clock, but long before that
hour a crowd of persons had assembled outside, and
when they were opened there was quite a rush. The
space below the bar of the House was crowded with
spectators and counsel. The Counsel for the Crown
and those who appeared for the traversers occupied
the places in front. All those engaged in the cause
were present, except the Attorney-General ; the re-
mainder of the place below the bar being appropri-
ated to the use of spectators. Several elegantly-
dressed ladies were present in this part of the House.
The galleries were crowded within a few minutes
after they were opened. On our admittance to the
gallery we found the greater number of the Judges
and of the Law Lords present. The Bishop of Lich-
field read prayers. Among the Judges present
we observed Lord Chief Justice Tindal, Mr. Justice
Patteson, Mr. Baron Gurney, Mr. Justice Williams,
Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Justice Wighttnan, Mr.
Justice Manic, Mr. Baron Alderson, the Lord Chief
Baron, and Mr. Baron'Parke. Among the Law Lords
were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Denman, the Lord
Chief Justice ; Lord Brougham, and Lord Campbell.
Lord Cottenham arrived shortly after the commence-
ment of the proceedings. The Duke of Cambridge
was in the House before the commencement of the
proceedings, as were Lord Beaumont, Lord Redesdale,
the Earl of Dalhousie, Lord Strangford, Lord Boston,
and Lord Tankerville.
