HOP INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK, JUNE 7.—Our Market is not so
brisk as it was ; the accounts from the plantations
come more favourable, and the duty has been done
to-day at 120,0001. .I,3ags support their prices,
but Pockets are on the decline and heavy sale.
WORCESTER, JUNE4.—On Saturdayl43 pockets
were weighed ; an advance took place in the
prices, which now average 61. to 71. 7s.—Our ac-
counts from the plantation are by no means un-
favonrable : the flies have not yet appeared in
sufficient number to injure the plant, neither have
the late frosts caused so much mischief as might
have been expected. The duty of the kingdom
is quoted at 90,0001. sotna persons state it lower.

A fatal accident happened a few days since to
one of the labourers employed in the excavating
and blowing Of) the rocks for the intended New
Dock at Pembroke Yard. in letting off a gun (as
it is termed) by the explosion one of the stories
struck the poor fellow upon the head, and lite-
rally dashed it to atoms. The- spectacle was
dreadful ; the unfortunate man was in course in-
stantly dead.
