WOOL MARKET.

The public sales of Colonial and other Wools, since
our last, have been well attended by buyers, and we
are happy to state that the biddings have ruled brisk,
at, in some instances, an advance of Id per lb. No little
stir has been made about false packing, but an agree-
ment has been entered into between the sellers and
}layers. The sales will be continued this week, and
tl'e total quantity to be offered will fall little short of
26,000 bales. Dating the week the bnports have
been moderate. Scarcely any thing is doing by pri-
vate contract

HOPS—BOROUGH.
The duty having at length been declared several
thousands over the sum at which it was generally
estimated—thereby proving that this year's produce
is extremely larger—the demand here has becoine
very heavy, and dealers are holding off in anticipation
of depressed rates. The few parcels sold since our
last have produced the following quotations :—East
Kent, in pocket 51. 10s. to 6/. 65.; Mid Kent ditto,
51. 5s to 61.; Sussex, 41. 10s. to' 51. Bs.; Pan'
hams, 8/. to 101. ;Old Hops, 3/. to 4/. 10s.
THE TALLOW TRADE.
Since our last week's report the arrivals have been
very large—upwards of 12,000 casks--which has
caused a trifling reduction in price, and good quality
may now he had at 48s, at which the trade buy spa-
ringly. The St. Petersburgh letters due this morn-
ing are not yet arrived.

PRICE OF BREA a thew!l he highes, vrit.e of •lie,t M,treplis is 7%. •°'

leg, above the knee-joint, was inevitable • and Iti if

"At half-past one o'clock," continues the n Ice

man, slowly plunged his knife into the centre Tthea
outer side of the thigh, directly to the bone, and o,ite
made a clear incision, round the bone, to the oPP this
point, on the inside of the thigh. The stillness action
