The RECORDER said he would consent to postpone the trial for an hour if the Noble Lord could wait [Lord Stanley assented] ; but the Court would hold the attorney in contempt if he did not use all dili gence to procure the witnesses.—The case was ac cordingly postponed, and another was proceeded with. William fames, lighterman, aged 32, was then placed at the bar, charged with wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Clarkson was counsel for the prosecution, Mr. 'lorry for the prisoner. It appeared that the prosecutor, Mr. Wittenburg, who is a respectable tradesman residing at Black heath, had bought a horse from a person named Watts, under a warranty that the horse was sound. The prosecutor left 51. of the purchase money un paid, and finding that the horse was not equal to the engagement given, he refused to pay the 51., and demanded back the money he had already paid. Proceedings were then commenced by Watts, and a writ served on Mr. Wittenburg, who in structed his attorney to defend the case. He heard no more of the matter till he was taken in execution, and obliged to pay 121. 10s. for debt and costs. He then discovered that the defendant made an affidavit that he (Mr. Wittenburg) consented to pay the debt and costs in order to stay the action, and in conse quence of the terms not having been complied with, judgment was obtained, and execution issued. It was clearly proved that the prosecutor had never given his consent, and that the prisoner had been at Hockley, in Essex, on the day he swore he had been with the prosecutor at Blackheath. The Jury instantly . returned a verdict of guilty, and the Recorder sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour, and then to transportation for seven years. In consequence of an application by Mr. Horry, the Recorder said, that if the prisoner was a party in the hands of other persons, he could state the cir cumstances to the Secretary of State for the Home Department. Peter Adamson was then placed at the bar, charged with unlawfully obtaining money under false pre tences from John Heron, to the amount of 2001. Messrs. Clarkson and Doane were for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Prendergast appeared for the defence. Mr. CLARKSON stated the case as it appeared in evi dence. John Herron was then called, and stated that he came to London from Scotland in June last. In the month of July he received a sum of over 4001. out of the Court of Chancery. He went to his cousin's in the Dover-road. The money he received became the subject of conversation. The prisoner was present on the 29th of July. He witness mentioned that he in tended going to Texas. The prisoner said that he was . an emigration agent, and knew a great deal about that country ; that he was acquainted with the Texian Consul, and would introduce the witness to him. Pri soner gave witness a card, and he called upon him at a house in Broad-street. He took witness to a land-agent in Fenchurch-street, and to several other places ; while going to those places, prisoner told him him he came from Leith, in • May, with tha intention of emigrating to Port Philip. He also took witness to a person named James Smith, who, he said, was to be his partner, and whom he also saw at his cousin's, and proposed that he (witness) should take Smith's place. He then stated that he had received an appointment as emigra tion agent for Port Philip, from Lord Stanley, the emoluments of which were 6001. per annum, and that if he (witness) advanced 200/., as a bonus, he should have a share of one-third in the profits of the busi ness, and any other business he might have in that place. Witness said that he wished to consult his friends on the subject. The prisoner replied that if he entertained the proposal he should not consult any person, but particularly his cousin or Mr. Smith. Witness then said he would write to his friends in Scotland, but the prisoner said that there would not be time, as lie was to send off consignments and should have •an answer in two days, and that he (witness) was quite competent to judge for himself on the sub ject. In a short time he went to the prisoner's lodg ings, in the Mile-end-road, where he saw several let ters from the Hon. Mr. Murray, the Queen's Counsel at Melbourne, and who wished to enter into part nership with him. In a few days after he called upon the prisoner, and said, that in consequence of being unwell he was not able to give his proposal due consideration. The prisoner then repeated his former statement that he had received an appointment from Lord Stanley, and that the wit ness must make up his mind on the subject. Witness at length consented, and proposed that a deed of part nership sh ou ld b e d rawn up b y hi s a tt orne y. Th e prisoner said that the deed must be drawn by his own solicitor. In a few days after, he again said the pri sonepri- soner,who had a d ra f t o f th e d ee d w hi c h h e rea d over to him (w itness).. Witness objected to one part of the deed, and requested to be allowed to see it, but the prisoner r e f use d, say i ng he must return it to , his solicitor in ord er t o h ave i t engrossed. On the 9th his August prisoner, he received a message from the de-- siring him (witness) t o meet hi m at the office of Mr. Hughes, solicitor, Old Jewry. Wi tness did so, and the deed was read by Mr. Hughes. 'Witness ob j ected to the recital, which stated that the prisoner w as a merchant of Melbourne. Mr. Hughes inquired of the prisoner if he had made any consignment to that place ? Prisoner replied that he had. And then Mr. Hughes said it was all right. The deed was then perfected, and the prisoner was then asked for the 2001. Witness had not the money about him, but he went to the Branch Bank in Bloomsbury, and drew his 4001., out of which he gave a 2001. note to the prisoner, who lodged it with the London and Westminster Bank, with which he opened an account. He (witness) did the same. They then went to the London Docks. Witness took some wine, and be coming unwell, he went home. The prisoner pro mised to call on witness to show him his letter of appointment. Prisoner did not come according to his promise, and witness then went to inquire into the ' cause. He first called at the office in Broad-street, and found two letters for the prisoner, one of them being from Lord Stanley. The prisoner then said there must be some mistake, for Lord Stanley says there is no vacancy, but that he (prisoner) knew there was a vacancy, and that if there was not, there were plenty of situations which he could obtain. This was the first intimation witness had that the prisoner had not received the appointment. He then communi cated the facts to his cousin, and subsequently told the prisoner that he feared he was deceived, and de manded hack his 2001. The prisoner told him that he had not recei ve d th e appointment, a n d had not con signed any more goods to Melbourne. Witness then said that he would take the prisoner's bill at six months for 100/., and to ha ve th e d ee d o f par t ners hi p - destroyed. Witness would not have given the money except under the conviction that he had received the appointment from Lord Stanley. Cross-examined—Th e prisone r did no t say h e re ceived a communication from Lord Stanley, addressed to the Governor of Port Philip, reque s ti ng hi m to g i ve the appointment of emigration agent to him (the pri soner). • The Right Hon. Lord Stanley was then examined by Mr. Clarkson. Is Secretary of State for the Co lonie3. Never gave any letters appointing the prisoner to the situation of emigration agent for Port Philip. Does not know what is the amount of the salary of the emigration agent for Port Philip. The prisoner had received a letter of introduction to C. J. Latr o b e , Esq., of P or t Phili p. Th a t l e tt er w a s given on the recommendation of Sir George Clerk. It did not in the slightest degree recommend him to any appoint ment under Government. Such a letter was usually given to persons known to some person in the office, to be respectably connected, and who were desirous of emigrating. The appointment of emigration agent was in his (Lord Stanley's) gift. The Governor had a power to fill it provisionally, in case of a vacancy, but the appointment should be confirmed by him (Lord Stanley). The letters of Lord Stanley to, the prisoner were then put in and read. Mr. Mundy, a clerk in the Colonial-onice, was then examined. The salary of emigration agent for Port Philip was only 1501. per annum. There was no offi cial knowledge of there being a vacancy in the situa tion of emigration agent. A letter, signed " William Forbes, M.P.," ad dressed to the Hon. Colonel Wilbraham, applying for the situation of emigration agent, for the prisoner, and the answers of the Hon. Col. Wilbraham, were then put in. Mr. Forbes, in his letter, stated that he understood the prisoner could produce testimony of his fitness for the situation, having formerly filled that situation at Leith with credit. William Heron, the prosecutor's cousin, was then examined, but there was nothing important in his tes- timony. The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr PRENDERGAST addressed the Jury at great length for the prisoner. Several witnesses as to character were then called, all of whom gave the prisoner a most unexceptionable character for integrity and honour. The RECORDER summed up the evidence, and the Jury, after a short time, returned a verdict of Guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. The Court deferredpassing sentence on the prisoner. chant, and charged with unlawfully obtaining money under false pretences. The prisoner traversed them last sessions to the first day of the present one, and Mr. Bodkin, who was engaged for the prisoner, applied for a postponement of the trial, in consequence of the absence of defendant's witnesses. Mr. CL-taxsoN, objected to such a course, and said that Lord Stanley, who received a summons in the case, and had made arrangements for leaving t own, in the belief that the case would come on to-day, would be put to much inconvenience if the trial was post poned. Lord Stanley, who sat on the bench, stated that he received a summons to attend the Court in the pre sent case, and being under the belief that the trial would be proceeded with to-day, he had made ar rangements for going to Lancashire to-morrow. The RECORDER said that he could not allow the trial to be postponed, unless an affidavit were made stating that necessary witnesses on the part of the de • fendant were absent. An affidavit, on the part of the defendant, was then sworn and read ; but the Court being of opinion that it was insufficient, Mr. PRENDERGAST, on the part of the defendant (Mr. Bodkin having thrown up his brief and left the Court), said that he had only that moment received his brief, and was not ready to proceed with the case. The RECORDER said that there was no sufficient reason assigned for the postponement of the trial. It did not appear that the witnesses might not be here in five minutes. He thought Mr. Bodkin owed it to his client, and to the Court, as the person who was instructed in this case, to come into Court. The attorney for the prisoner must know where Mr. Bodkin was. . PRENDERGAST hoped the Court would post pone the trial for a short time, at least till he had read over his brief. _ _ . NEW COURT. The Court sat yesterday at twelve o'clock, and pro ceeded with the traverse cases, which were of an ordinary character and possessed little general interest. POLICE'INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) BOW-STREET. A youth, who gave his name as Frederick Ginelack, was put forward, charged with attempting, by means of a forged order, to obtain money from the proprie tors of the Morning Chronicle. Mr. Collinson, who attended from the Morning Chronicle office, stated that the prisoner came into the office on Saturday and presented an order signed " Joseph Haines" for 51., the amount being calculated by a certain number of lines which had appeared in the paper. Witness knew immediately that this must be a forgery, as Mr. Haines was in the receipt of a salary, and was not paid by the line, Witness, therefore, questioned the boy. an as his answers were not at all satisfactory, he said he should give him into custody. The boy then said that a person outside had given him the note, and said he would give him (prisoner) something if he would take it in and receive some money. Search was made outside, but no person answering the de scription given by the boy was found. He was, there fore, given into custody. The boy, in his defence, said, that he was passing along the Strand, when a man came up to him and said he would give him something if he would take a note into the Morning Chronicle office, and he would give him a trifle of money, if he delivered what was given to him safe to him. Mr. HALL asked the prisoner where he lived, and where he was going to at the time ?—The prisoner said he lived in the city, at a bookseller's, and was going to take an order for some books. The master of the boy here stepped forward, and said he could give the prisoner an excellent character. He did not believe that he knew he was doing wrong at the time he took the note. 'Mr. HALL said it was very strange that an innocent boy should give two accounts of the matter. It Aas here intimated to the Magistrate that other offices had been defrauded in the same manner, one of which was The Sun. Mr. HALL directed the prisoner to be put back, and the publisher of The S►un was sent for. Mr. Finch, the publisher of The Sqn, then came forward, and said that, a few weeks ago, a boy pre sented a note, purporting to be from one of the re porters, and requesting part of his salary to be sent by the bearer, and the money was paid to him. This note turned out to be a forgery. He could not take upon himself to swear that the prisoner at the bar was the boy. Mr. HALL (comparing the two notes)—There is no resemblance in the hand-writing of the two orders; but there appears to me to be a system carried on by some person well acquainted with the internal ar rangements of the offices. Mr. Collinson said that under the present circum stances he could not press the charge against the boy, as their object was to get at the person who sent him. Mr. HALL then addressed the prisoner, and said, this is a trick that must not be played more than once, for if ever you are brought here again you will most assuredly be committed to the Central Criminal Court. You are discharged. It appeared that the Morning Herald had been de frauded in the same manner. CLERKENWELL. Edward Archer was charged with violently as saulting police-constable 45 N, and rescuing a prisoner from his custody. It appeared, from the evidence, that last night, be tween nine and ten o'clock, there was a great riot in the Lower-road, Islington. The constable, attracted by the cries of " murder," hastened to the place whence they proceeded, and saw three or four men, half naked, covered with blood and mire. He took one of them into custody, but had no sooner done so than the prisoner rushed on him, knocked him down, kicked him on the breast, and liberated the prisoier. Two or three other constables hastened to the spot at the moment the combatants were gathering round the prostrate policeman, and took Archer into custody. They had great difficulty, from his exceeding violence, in taking bin) to the station-house. Mr. GREENWOOD said the prisoner was a great ruffian, and had been, hitherto, fined frequently for assaults on the police. He would now commit him for 14 days to the House of Correction, without fine. Two wretched looking creatures, named Lynch and Denman, were charged with begging. Mr. GREENWOOD (to the acting sergeant of the E division)—Begging is frightfully on the increase. Have you orders from the Commissioners of Police to arrest all those found begging ? Sergeant Dodd— We have. Mr. GREENWOOD — Then why don't you arrest those selling lucifer-matches in the streets ? That is begging under another phase. Sergeant Dodd—Why, your worship, the policeman is not justified in taking them into custody if they are doing nothing, and they won't offer the lucifers when a policeman is passing. The offence of begging a bit of bread from a passer by was proved, and they were committed for 14 days. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Twyman, alias Smith, a smartly dressed young man, who was formerly employed as footman in the family of Thomas Archimedes Russell, Esq., of Cheshunt-park, Ilerts ' was charged before Mr. Broughton with having broken into the dwalling-house of that gentleman, and stolen a cash-box, containing 254 sovereigns, 1501. in bank notes, together with other property; and Sarah Parker, a woman of the town, was charged with being accessory to the robbery. The prosecutor stated that the robbery was com mitted on Wednesday, the 7th inst., and the discovery of it took place between six and seven o'clock on the same evening. He had sat down to dinner with his family, when a female domestic entered the room, and informed him that she suspected that thieves were in the house, the windows of his dressing-room and library being wide open. He immediately proceeded up stairs, and, on examining his dressing-room, he dis covered that a drawer had been broken open, and that his cash-box, containing the above-mentioned sum had ransacked, casebelongingand several to h sovereigns son. It abasptpreaacrteedd thatfro m a gun the a thieves had climbed up to the verandah in front of the window and had made th • eir escape by leaping down upon a flower bed which was nine feet below it. The impression of a man's foot was discovered in the mould underneath the window, and there was also the mark of a knee, from which it appeared that he had fallen down in making the descent. The male prisoner was formerly, in his service, hut lie dis charged him about seven months ago, and suspecting that he was a party , to the robbery, he caused hand bills to be circulated, giving a description of his per son, and offering a reward for his apprehension. Mr. BROUGHTON asked the prosecutor how long the prisoner had been in his service and what was the cause of his discharge. The prosecutor said that the prisoner was two years in his situation, and performed its duties in a most satisfactory manner, but suspicions were at length entertained of his integrity, which led to his discharge. Police Constable Gurling, G 94, stated that between 3 and 4 o'clock on Sunday morning he was on duty in the City road, when he was accosted by the male prisoner, who told him that he had just been robbed at a house of ill-fame, situate No. 23, Windsor-place. On asking him how much money he had lost, the pri soner said that the amount was from 1001. to 1501., and that he suspected it was stolen by one of the women with whom he had spent the evening at the Haymarket Theatre. The prisoner added that he was a gentleman, and that the money was part of his for tune, of which he had lately come into possession. Witness then proceeded to the house with the prisoner' and Police Constable Stannard, and on being ad. mitted by the landlady he found the female prisoner and two other women inside, each of whom denied all knowledge of the robbery. He searched the house without finding any of the money, and the prisoner began to manifest extreme reluctance to proceed any further in the matter. Wit ness, however, took all the women into custody, and conveyed them with the prisoner to the station-house, and on his way thither the prisoner said he had been a gentleman's servant, arid had saved the money out of his wages. The prisoner was searched when he reached the station-house, and three packets of money were found upon him, • • consisting of one 10/. and two Si. notes, and 106 sovereigns. On making the dis covery, a refer ence was made to the " occurrence book," containing a record of the robberies that had lately been committed, and it was discovered that the description of the man suspected of the Cheshunt rob beiy exactly corresponded with the appearance of the prisoner. The prisoner, however, stoutly denied the robbery, but on being again asked where he got the WESTERN EYE DISPENSARY, ST. GILEs.—We understand that David Dundas, Esq., M.P., has ge nerously contributed five pounds to this excellent dispensary through the medium of Hugh Houston, Esq., one of the surgeons, and the founder of the institution. The Earl and Countess of Eglinton, on the occa sion of the anniversary of the birth of their infant son, Lord Montgomerie. had several coursing matches for the amusement of their family tenantry. The Noble Earl and Countess have a large party visiting them. The Earl's tenants on the Auchans barony celebrated the birthday of the heir of their respected and liberal landlord with great rejoicing. On Saturday last a convict, named Gomare, who had been condemned to death for having stabbed one of the officers of the bagne, at Toulon, was executed in presence of the rest of the prisoners. At an early hour, a strong body of artillery was posted in the court where the scaffold was erected, with the pieces charged with grape. A little before eight, all the convicts were marched out, and placed in order at each side of the gullotine. Shortly after the prisoner appeared, attended by the almoner of the bagne, who had passed the night by his bedside. Gomare had, it is said, expressed. repentance for his crime, and wished to say so to the rest of the convicts. He was dissuaded, however, from addressing them at length, and he only uttered the words, " Comrades, friends, farewell!" the next minute he ceased to exist. Go mare was only twenty-one years of age. He entered the army at eighteen, and shortly after, at Avignon, he took offence at something his captain had said, and attacked him with a sabre. The blow missed the in tended point, but the officer's ear was cut off. For this Gomare was sentenced to death, but the punish ment was commuted to hard labour for life. THE DEAD ALIVE.—Mr. Hill, of Olatrim, whose murder was circumstantially recorded in a late num ber of the Limerick Reporter, has written 'to the editor of the Nenagh Guardian, to say that he is still alive and well. Mr. Hill complains of the trouble and expense his relatives have been put to by the report in question, some of them having come from distant parts of Ireland for the purpose of burying him. "On the day (continues Mr. Hill) the Reporter says I waa shot, I, with 60,000 of my fellow-countrymen, at tended the great meeting at Dunkerrin, to hear the Rev. Mr. Nolan eloquently and emphatically ex. hort us to pay obedience to the laws, and to aid in suppressing illegal societies. Now, Sir, I hope that you will contradict the vile report of my death, for if I was shot at and wounded on the day in question, I could not be at the Dunkerrin meeting; and if I was dead I couldn't write this letter." THE EDINBURGH POLlCE.—Captain Stuart, late Superintendent of the city of Edinburgh police, having been appointed Governor of the Penitentiary at Perth, the above situation necessarily becomes va cant. The Captain Superintendency of the Edinburgh police is considered to be worth 5001. per annum ; and, as may be naturally supposed, there were a great number of applications for the appointment, the gift of which entirely rests with the Lord Provost and Sheriff of Edinburgh. - The latter made a special application to the Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police to name some efficient officer belonging to their force who they considered would be able to perform the duties of the office satisfactorily ; and the result was an application from Mr. Haining, an inspector of the A division, for the appointment. The Lord Provost and Sheriff considered the qualifications of Mr. Haining superior to those of the other candidates, and a few days since he was elected to the office. IRISH LINEN TRADE WITH FRANCE.—The French linen manufacturers have again been forced to enter the Irish markets for their supply of yarns, despite the enormous import duties, which it had been sup posed would amount to a prohibition :—Belfast, Dec. 2.—We have experienced an improved demand for linen yarns during the present week. The French are again obliged to come to market, notwithstanding their high protective duties, as we learn considerable shipments are now being made to the French ports, which must have a favourable effect on the trade generally. Some yarns are going forward which will have an ad va lorem duty of 50 or 60 percent. imposed on them. No change in prices, but rather firmer at the rates pre. viously quoted. Linen yarns-30 lea, ss. 3d. to 80 40 lea, lea, 55. 45. to ss. ss. 6d. ; 35 lea, ss. to 55.3 d.; 40 lea, 4s. 9d. to 55.; 45 to 70 lea, 4s. 7W. to 4s. 9d. ; 75 lea, 4s. to ss. ; I\37dort:ernwi. y h a i r g n . s— 2 5 4s. 9d. ; 30 lea, 45. 6d. ; 35 lea, 4s. 3d. to 4s. 6d.; lea, 4s. 6d. to We understand that Major -General Pollock, whose recent gallant achievements in India have attracted so much admiration, and Sir F. Pollock, her Majesty's Attorney-General, are b o th b rot h ers of J. H. Pollock, Esq., one of the registrars of the Court o f Bankruptcy in this city.—Bristol Mercury. DEATH OF THE HON. HENRY BUTLER.—We have to record the death of the above Hon. Gentleman, who expired on Tuesday last, at York, from gout in the stomach. The deceased was second sur viving son of Edward, late Viscount Mountgar ret, by Lady Henrietta, second daughter of the first Earl of Carrick, and was born February 16, 1773. He married September 3; 1811, Miss Anne Harrison, youngest daughter and co-heir of Mr. John Harrison, by whom he leaves issue a son and three daughters. The Hon. Gentleman was brother and heir presumptive of the Earl of Kilkenny, and of the Hon. Pierce Butler, M.P. for the county Kilkenny. LOUTII.—SALE OF A WIFE PREVENTED.—WC are sorry to Neve to record that another of those disgrace ful ebullitions of public depravity, the sale of a wife in the public market (happily prevented from being effected by the vigilance of the police), occurred on the 30th ult. The offending parties, followed by a vast crowd, were brought before S. Trought, Esq., who investigated the affair. The Magistrate said it was intolerable to witness a wife dragged into the market for sale like a brute beast, and it was the de termination of the Magistrates to put an end to a system which subjected the happiness of the domestic circle to the libidinous propensities of every designing knave who chose to interrupt it. The parties had had a narrow escape, as, had the sale been effected, he would certainly have fully c ommitted them to the quarter sessions to take their trial for so gross an out rage ; as it was, he would bind the parties in 51. each to keep the peace in future. On their liberation, they were chased round the church by the mob, and it was not until the protection of the police had been obtained, that they were enabled to effect a safe re treat to their proper homes.—Starnford Mercury, Leaves 1 Leaves Arrives at ' L eave; A rr i ves A rr i ves lim in g' Crewe.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 13, 1842 money found upon him, he said that he had picked it up on the Cheshunt road. He was then detained and the women were liberated, but the female prisoner was afterwards re-apprehended. Sergeant Beaumont stated that he had been down to the prosecutor's residence, and found that the male prisoner's shoe exactly fitted.the footmark under the dressing•room window. He also found a large stone imbedded in the mould where the mark of the man's knee was visible, and the prisoner's trowsers were torn at the corresponding part. The - prosecutor said that the cash box had been broken open and rifled : but, on examining a secret compartment, he found two 51. notes and two cheques for 25/. and 301., which had been overlooked by the thieves. Mr. BROUGHTON complimented the police upon the admirable manner in which they had managed the case, and said that he should commit the male prisoner on the charge ; and although he considered that the evidence was not sufficiently strong to bring home a guilty knowledge to the female prisoner, he should remand her for the present.

This being the day appointed for the holding of the great Christmas Market, we had at a very early hour a large attendance of butchers and graziers, from al most all parts of England; with an extensive number of the former residing in the metropolis ; hence, as might be conceived, the greatest animation and bustle was apparent. Contrary to general expectation, the supply of beasts- derived from our grazing districts was much more superior than that brought for ward for a series of years past : indeed, we might venture to observe that there were not fifty forming it in any way beneath the middle quality— hence it elicited the surprise and approbation of all present, and reflected great credit upon the skill and enterprise of the agricultural community. The com petition between the Hereford, Devon, Durham, and short-horned breeders, was so extremely keen that we scarcely linow how, in the spirit of strict fairness, to award the palm to either in particular. How ever, for weight, size, and symmetry, including of course actual value we might, we consider, state that the Herefords (except in the instance of the Scots, which we shall , have occasion to parti cularise below) was as a whole triumphant, embracing as they did some of the most wonderful animals we ever saw exhibited for sale in this market. Decidedly the best of this truly excellent breed were brought forward by Mr. Rowland, of Creslow, who had on offer about forty, estimated to weigh nearly 200 stone, and for which 401. each was asked for the, average of the drove. We next come to the Devons, which, though not quite so extensive in. numerical strength as at the corresponding market day last year, well maintained their long-established fame; yet, generally speaking, their weight was not quite so great as on that occasion. There were about 400 splendid pure Durhams, consigned to various salesmen, and which were fully as good as in many preceding seasons. As to the short horns, these were more than usually prime, and those offering ,by Mr. Robert Morgan, the property of Mr. Goodall, of Deeping Fen, and Messrs. Thomas and Wiseman, o Holbeach, Lincolnshire, which gentlemen sent, alsb, some very prime Herefords, were certainly the ;,best, and produced high figures; while they were surrounded by crowds of people during the day. The Scots next command attention, and, notwithstanding we received few really good ones from Scotland, those exhibited by Mr. Vorley, and owned by Messrs. J. and H. Rayner, of the Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire (ten in number), were scarcely ever equalled, much less excelled. These surprising creatures, which were estimated to weigh nearly 120 stone, were considered to be worth quite 32/ per head, which will at once show that we have not overrated them. Messrs. Gurrier and Maidwell, as also several others, had excellent shows of beasts ; in fact, to do justice to this admirable collection of stock, brought together, as will be conceded, under disadvantageous circumstances, would be impossible. As to the numbers, these were considerably less than last season, yet fully adequate to suit the wants ,of the buyers. At the commencement of the market they purchased slowly, but as the (lay advanced, the biddings became more spirited, and we are happy in being enabled to intimate that an advance in the quotations of Beef offrom 2d to 4d per 81bs, was firmly established, and a good clearance was effected previously to•the conclusion of the market. To pre vent any misunderstanding at a time so important as this is, we beg to state that the highest general quo tations for Beef were from 4s 4d to 4s 8d per 81bs, though of course some cases could be named, in which from 4s to 5s per 81bs were obtained; but as these figures were not those dealing as an average, we deem it proper to omit them from our tabular statement. This we deem a matter of positive necessity•to mention, as we find some statements giving higher rates, for the general transactions, in the market than are warranted by the actual trade. The numbers of Sheep were rather more than those of last year, and quite an unusual improvement was observed in their quality and condition. Downs, though rather scarce, were very good, and we must . say that that descrip tion of sheep, together with the Lincolns, Leicesters, Dents, and Somersets, excited our admiration. And we cannot pass unnoticed about forty Downs and polled Sheep .in Mr. John Weall's pens, sent to that gentleman by E. F. Whittingstall, Esq., of Langley-Berry, Hertfordshire. For weight, size and shape, we should say the polled descriptions certainly exceeded those ever shown in this market, and we have no hesitation whatever in stating that had they been shown in the yard of the Smithfield Club, they would have carried off the prizes offered by that Society. Some of these extraordinary sheep weighed upwards of thirty stones, and for which Si 5s each were demanded. The mutton trade was somewhat renovated, and the currencies had an upward tendency, say of from 2d to 4d per lb, the Downs reaching, without much apparent difficulty, 4s Gd per 81bs. Calves came fresh to hand, and were disposed of at last Friday's rise of 2d per Bibs. The York trade was tolerably steady at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, late rates. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire, we received 2,800 short-horns, runts, and Hereford ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 320 Scots, homelands, runts, &c.; from our western and midland districts, 700 Devons, Durhams, runts, Herefords, and Irish beasts; from other parts of England, 250 Herefords runts, &c. ; from Scotland by steamers, 170 horned and polled Scots ; from Ireland, 80 beasts; the remainder of the supply being made up by the stall-feeders, &c., in the neighbourhood of London. Not a single fresh head of stock was on offer from abroad ; there being only a very rough Hamburghbeast received, via Hull. The imports, as will be seen by the annexed returns, have been small indeed : FROM GERMANY, DURING THE WEER ENDING DEC. 10. Beasts. Cows. Sheep. Pigs.

The receipts of country -killed meat, since Monday last, have not been on quite so extensive a sca le as in many preceding weeks, still they have been season ably large. With London slaughtered meat, how; ever, we have been heavily supplied, while the derna for all except the primcst qualities—which have mostly maintained their value—has 'proved eves sively dull at miserably low figures.

MARKET NEWS. CORN EXCHANGE.-1140NDAY. Last week we had rather an extensive arrival of English Wheat from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, but that fresh up to-day, especially as relates to the supply from the former country, was scanty, and, owing to the humidity of the atmosphere, somewhat out of con dition. This morning the stands were, on the whole, fairly filled. As the attendance of both London and country buyers was rather numerous, the finest quality of Red and White was taken off rather freely, on terms quite equal to those noted on this day se nnight ; but the middling and inferior sorts, though not - lower in value, commanded little attention. In fine Foreign Wheat rather more busi ness was doing ; but we can notice no alteration in the rates. Bonded Grain was a mere drug. We have a very large quantity of Barley in the mar ket. Malting parcels maintained their value, but other sorts had a downward tendency. Malt was in fair supply, and sluggish inquiry at late rates. Oats sold slowly at last week's currency. Beans, Peas, and Flour commanded little alteration. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.
