BOROUGH.

We have received a fair supply of hops for this
Market during the present week. For the
finest hops in pockets, we have a steady
inquiry, at full rates of currency ; but in
all other kinds, next to nothing is passing.
The duty is still backed at 160,0001. East Kent in
pockets, 51 lOs to 6/ Bs.; Mid. Kent in ditto. 5153 to
6/ ; Sussex, 4/ lOs to 51 8s ; Farnhams, 81 to 101;
Old Hops, 3/ to 4/105...... __ .

- COLONIAL MARKETS.
SUGAR.—The improved demand noticed for Britisl
Plantation has entirely ceased, the market having
been very heavy, and to effect sales holders have (in
some instances) accepted of a decline of 6d to ls.
Only 700 hhds have been disposed of all the week,
including 100 casks Barbadocs by auction, at 62s
to 68s Gd for low to fine quality, being about former
prices. Molasses—Holders are Very firm, and there
being few parcels offering purchases cannot be
made at lowier prices. Mauritius-947 bags,
sold without spirit at 58s to 66s for strong fine brown
to fine yellow, being, however, comparatively high
prices. A limited business has been done privately at
corresponding rates. Bengal —3,000 bags brought
to public sale found buyers at 62s 6d to 70s for fine
yellow to good white Benares, Which are fully former
rates. Privately, few transactions have taken place.
Foreign—The business done has been less exten-
sive, which may, in a great measure, however,
be attributable to the few parcels offering, and the
high prices asked, as there still continues
to be a good demand. For the quantity sold rather
higher rates have again.. been obtained. 500 boxes
yellow Havannah of average quality sold at 21s, 120
hhds Porto Rico at 18s., and 500 bags mid white Siam
at 233. Refined—There has been a fair business
done in crushed at 255, which is the previous value ;
grocery sorts have been less inquired for, and former
prices are with difficulty obtainable.
COFFEE.—The public sales have obtained only EOO
bags 100 cases Ceylon, 198 packages Mocha, 30 bales
Mysore, 1,500 bags Padang, and 158 casks Porto
Rico, which went off very .heavily, and only part
finding buyers at about former prices : the Ceylon
consisting chiefly of black triage, the remainder sold
at 88s fici to 90s Gd for fine fine and low mid palish
quality (British Plantation kind), and a small por-
tion fine ordinary pale and colory at 63s to 675.
Nearly all the. Mocha was taken in at 75s to
82s Gd for mid to good quality, there being no pur-
chasers at previous prices ; good yellow Mysore sold
at 59s 6d; nearly one-half of the Padang was dis-
posed of at 27s 6d for good quality, which is
the extreme' value. All the Porto Rico
was withdrawn at 40s for fine orcl palish
quality, being about the comparative value, but at
which prices there were no buyers. Privately, very
few transactions have taken place. In Foreign only
249 bags Rio have been brought to auction, which
sold at 31s to 33s 6d for good ord pale to fine ord
bright greenish, which is about the previous value.
Coco/I.—There has been scarcely any inquiry for
this article.
TEA.—The private market has been in a very quiet
state, and prices have been without the least move-

Al TEMPTED DROWTIING. About half-past five
o'cicck on Wednesday evening, " Boat" was called
from the sides of the Serpentine river. Mr. Hembrey,
the park-keeper, assisted by his nephew,. immediately
took a boat and proceeded to the spot, and succeeded
in rescuing a young woman, twenty years of age. She
had sunk for the last time, and when taken out of the
water was apparently lifeless ; but the usual restora-
tives being applied at the receiving-house, she gradu-
ally recovered, and was shortly removed to her home,
at Marylebone-lane. Her name is Anna Clements.
DREADFUL STORM.—In several of the dales in the
vicinity of Cumberland lakes, on Tuesday night and
on Wednesday week, there was a most dreadful snow-
storm, accompanied with piercing and tempestuous
gales of wind, and thunder and lightning. Happily
there was no loss of human life, nor have we heard of
any loss of sheep or stock of any other description.
It is rumoured that should the weather continue
favourable, the Court will remain at Walmer for a
month or six weeks.
