BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

A very active demand has sprung up for Weald of Kent
and Sussex pockets, the quotations of which have improved
fully 2s per cwt. In other yearling hops, a steady business
is doing, at prices fully equal to those noted in our last. Old
hops are commanding considerable attention, and their rates
have improved from 2/ to 4/ per cwt. The supply of hops is
miserably small, with every prospect of further advanced
currencies.
BOROUGH AND SPITA.X.FIELDS.
From Scotland, Yorkshire, and most other quarters, the
arrivals of potatoes at the water-side continue extensive for
the time of year, yet the demand for the best decriptions is
tolerably steady, at full prices, but all other kinds are a
mere drug.

YARMOUTH AID 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.—Norfolk
Chronicle.

STATE TRlALS.—Amongst the various
means devised by the press to give the public every informa-
tion of these important trials, none surpass the zealous exer-
tions of Mr. Young, proprietor of The Sun newspaper, who
illustrates his jounial with sketches of each day's proceedings,
a supply of which reach Mr. Horn of this town daily.—New-
castle Advertiser.
The following charitable bequests appear in the
will of Miss Emma Gibson, of Bradston Brook, near Guild-
ford, amounting to 5,0001. Three per Cents. :—To the Society
for Promoting Christianity among the Jews, to the Society
for the Propagation of the Gospel, to Christ's Hospital, each
5001. Three per Cents. Reduced; to the Society for Promot-
ing Christian Knowledge, to the Church Missionary Society,
to the Royal Humane Society, to the Deaf and Dumb, to

Queen's Lying-in Hospital, to the Widows' Friend, to the
Indigent Blind, to the Orphan Clergy, to the Magdalen
Hospital, to the Adult Orphan, each 2501. Three per Cents.
Reduced.

SELr ACCUSATION.—On Tuesday night a man
came up to a police patrol, and declared that he wished 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
wretch's name," continued he, " is Paul ; take him, and
put him in prison, for he stands before you." This at first
seemed a joke, but the police took him into custody, and the
next day his story was found to be correct.—i.. Paris Paper.

MONE I" AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, Ci UAlt 7ER TO THREE'
The transactions in Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday
were large, and prices met with very firm support.
The sales were 5,000 bales on speculation, and 3,000 for
other purposes. The Share Market closed rather
languidly, but a fair number were sold. Eastern

Midland Counties, 91 ; Paris and Lyons, 24 ; South

New, 534.
The St. James, from New York, does not add much
to our previous information, her dates being only Ja-
nuary 4. The exchange was 1094. Stocks appear to
have been rather unsteady, owing to a slight dlminution
in the abundance of money. In Corn business was
quiet, but in Cotton there was more doing.
From Canada we merely leant that Sir Charles Met-
calfe's policy appeared to be approved. There were 0.
good many ships buildlog at Quebec, from which we
may presume that an wave spring trade was expected.
An arrival from Nelson furnishes dates to Sept. 20,
inclusive, and we are glad to observe, that in general,
the accounts are of a satisfactory tenor.
Advices from Odessa state that the Russians have ob-
tained very important advantages for their commerce
from the Porte, the import duty
uLnon goods into
Turkey being fixed at three per cent. on a7ussian fabrics,
but seldom amounting to more than two psi' cent. The
number of Russian firms in Turkey is said to b.: steadily
increasing, the Government of the Czar favouring their
removal from St. Petersburgh. The same also ia the
case as regards Persia.
The English funds are very firm, and the purchnuti
by the Government broker continue to buoy up prices--

There is a fair business doing in the Foreign Market.
and most of the investments look rather firmer. Spanish

again recovered what they lost, being 47 to 48. The

The inquiry for Railway Shares is moderate, and the
holders obtain good prices. Birmingham and Derby
have advanced to 39 and 38 discount; Hull and Selby to
9 and 10 premium ; Brighton, 5 and 44 discount ; and
South Western to 354 and 354 premium. The French
Railways are less heeded. Paris and Orleans are 13

Eastern have been somewhat flat; Greenwich have ral-
lied to 7 discount. Nothing has been done in Joint-
Stock Banks.
