BOROUGH AND SPITALPXELDS.
We regret to observe that several cargoes of diseased Po-
tatoes have again reached us from Scotland and the north of
England, and which have sold at miserably low prices. The
best parcels are in good request, at from 80s to 100 s for York,
and 80s to 90s per ton for Scotch reds. Several cargoes have
been disposed of at from 8s to 12s per ton.
BOROUGH HOP IVIARHET.
Since our last report a steady, but not to say brisk, de-
mand has been experienced for the best Hops, in pockets, at
full prices. In other kinds, however, exceedingly little is
doing, and the quotations are with difficulty supported The
duty is still estimated at 160,000/.

WOOL.
Since Monday last only about 1,200 bales of Wool, 581
being from Port Elizabeth, have been imported into London.
The transactions in foreign and colonial Wools are by no
means important, but English qualities are commanding more
ettention, at full prices.

TALLOW.
This market is steady, and prices are on the advance.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A POST-OFFICE MESSENGER.
—On Saturday an inquest was held at the Green Gate House, City-
road, upon James Daniel Holbrove, aged 58, a messenger at the
General Post-office, St. Martin's.le-Grand, who dropped suddenly
dead in Bunhill-row, on Thursday evening. William Papcott, in
the employ of Messrs. Whitbread and Co., the brewers, stated that
shortly before eight, on Thursda y evening, he saw the deceased
suddenly fall down, and ran to his assistance, thinking at first that
he was merely in a fit. Finding, however, that he was quite cold,
and apparently inanimate, witness procured the immediate attend-
ance of Mr. Smith, a surgeon, but that gentleman, when he saw
the deceased, said life was quite extinct, and the deceased was
carried to the poliee.station. It aippeared that a silver ticket bear.
ing the Post-office mark, being found on the deceased, Matthew
Peake, the police-officer employed at the General Post-
office, was sent for, and identified the deceased as
one of the oldest and most respected messengers of that
establishment. He had beets in the service twenty-
nine years, and employed as special messenger to suc-
cessive Postmasters-General, from .the Duke of Richmond to the
present one, the Earl of Lonsdal e. One of the messengers,
named Woatford, stated that abou t half-past six on Thursday
evening the deceased left him at. the Post-office with official
papers, and when going away, said to him, " Mind, if I am not
here to morrow the postmaster's. .and other receipts are in my
drawer." This was a very unust sal thing for him to ray, and in
fact the witness never knew it to occur before. The deceased ap-
peared in good health, and was of regular habits. He was highly
respected at the Post-office. T oe surgeon was of opinion that
apoplexy or a disease of the h tart was the cause of death; he
could not state precisely without a ; post mortem examination. The
deceased, it was stated, was in ye ry good circumstances. He had
been thrice married, and had bt it recently buried his last wife.
He has left an only daughter corn fortably provided for. The jury.
returned a verdict of " Died by t he visitation of God."
