. . This Company is formed with the view of establishing a compre hrnsive system of railways for the county of Devon, in connexion with the existing lines, embracing all the principal towns, and giving to each the advantages of communication in different directions to the greatest possible extent, consistent with a general plan. Taking Barnstaple and Bideford as the principal and most im portant points in North Devon, and as representing a district, it is proposed to form a direct communication eastward, towards Taunton and Tiverton ; and southward, with Exeter on the one hand and Pit. mouth on the other. To effect this in the most complete manner, embracing the largest amount of population, and giving also the greatest extent of inter communication between the several towns, it is proposed to carry a line from Bideford to Barnstaple, and thence by South 3folton to Tiverton (joining the Tiverton Branch of the Bristol and Exeter Railway), with a line diverging eastward, from a point a few miles east of South Molton, and carried by Wiveliscombe and Milverton, in a direct line towards Taunton, giving the whole of the district thus traversed a very direct communication with the north and east via Taunton, and with Exeter via Tiverton. From Barnstaple and Bideford, as polite of departure, another .ine would be taken southwards towards Hatherleigh, and from the neighbourhood of that place proceed on the one 11 , nd to Plymouth, and on the other to Exeter, via Crediton ; Okehampton being either close to what may be called the main line of this system, or having a branch communicating with it. By these means, Barnstaple would have a second road to Exeter, and, with Bideford, would have direct railway communication with all the principal places of South Devon shire ; and Exeter would have the great advantages of railway com munication with all these parts. The ground has been sufficiently surveyed to enable the engineer to report upon the practicability of constructing lines in the general directions above mentioned, the total length of which will be about 120 miles, but the precise course of such lines must be depen dent upon the results of more detailed surveys ; the object of the promoters being to construct the most perfect and complete system that the country admits of, weighing equally and fairly the advan tages to the respective interests and to the public generally. The Company is formed by an influential local proprietary, includ ing the promoters of the North Devon, Crediton and Barnstaple Railway Company, and the parties who have interested themselves in the formation of a line from Barnstaple to Tiverton, united with the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and South Devon Rah way Companies, it being proposed that the three latter companies should contribute one-half of the capital, and join in the direction of the affairs of the Company. The important interests which these railways will subserve and benefit may be estimated from a statement of the fact, that the greater part of the entire population of Devonshire, which exceeded at the last census 530,000 persons, is located at the extremities of these lines, or in the districts traversed by them, the latter includ ing some of the finest agricultural portions of Devon and Somerset. The traffic to the interior from the Seaport Towns, both on the English and Bristol Channels, and the supplies of corn, wool, cattle, and other produce which flow to the latter in return, are already very considerable, and may confidently be expected to be augmented to a great extent by the increased facilities and diminished cost of transport afforded by railway conveyance ; the advantages of which. especially in the articles of coal, lime, and minerals, are manifest. The opening of a direct and speedy communication between the north and south coasts, which the railway will effect, is a feature in the present undertaking of much importance in a public point of view ; and with reference to local advantage, and a profitable source of in come to the proprietary, a line of railway to a port in the Bristol channel is of considerable moment. The number of visitors attracted annually to the watering places and romantic scenery of the north of Devon is also very great, and will doubtless be much increased. Arrangements are in progress for obtaining exact accounts by actual observation of the traffic on the lines ; but the promoters are already possessed of sufficient evidence to justify the confident expectation of a remunerative income on the proposed capital, which they are assured is fully adequate to accomplish all the objects proposed. The numerous assurances of support already received from the landowners leave no doubt of the successful issue of the application which will be made to Parliament for an Act of Incorporation in the next session. Powers will be sought in such Act to allow intere , t at .£4 per cent. per annum on the deposit, and on all paid up calls daring the progress of the works ; and no subscriber will incur liability beyond the amount of his subscription.

Mr. HUME deserves the thanks of the public for direct ing the attention of Parliament, on Friday, to the new " Proclamation for calling in Light Gold," and the re marks with which he illustrated his question were well calculated to elicit direct answers, had he had to deal with Ministers who were disposed to give any. The smart debate to which 31r. IlumE's speech gave rise may make amends, however, for this diappcintment. Mr. ILITME, adverting to the effect of the proriumation, showed that the poorer classes of consumers were pecu i! Early exposed to the Lases which the holders of light coin had now to meet; tradesmen public offices, &c., deducting from each light sovereign tendered from fourpence to six pence each. Ho calculated tho average loss sustained through these fluctuations in the value of the gold coin at not le-s than 75,0001 Mr. SPOONER showed that this loss was aggravtoed to tradesmen in the country from their being compelled, at the end of the week, to collect their light gold and sen d i t up to Lond on, i n order to get it exchanged at the serious discount in question, and then remitted back to them in the country with the THE SUN, LONDON, MOND A I EVENING, JULY 28, 1845. superadded charge for carriage. Mr. JOHN ABEL SMITH entreated the attention of the Government to the extraordinary scarcity - of silver coin, which pre veiled in some parts of the country to such an extent as to have rendered difficult, and almost interrupted, the payment of wages. Upon this extreme scarcity he was induced to express his hope that the Government would institute immediate inquiries, with a view to regulate the weight of the silver coin. To any of our readers who bear in mind the pom pous announcements of the Premier last year, thet by his famous complement of the Bill of 1819, he had put the currency of the country on the soundest of footings, and by his notable scheme of turning the Bank of Eng land into a see-saw establishment of deposit and issue, the state of things on Friday night brought under the view of the Heusi! of Commons, must supply matter for instructive reflection. Sir P. PEEL has applied to the cur rency of this kingdom the same intuitive principle which Sir Wet. Sestoens has been allowed to experimentalize with on her MAJESTY'S navy, and with much the same success. Disregarding all the lights of experience, all the protests a.nd remonstrances of practical men of the highest authority, they have each of them broken in upon a great system that they found long establifhed and working admirably well for the purposes of its Own constitution, and the best interests of the empire. Rich projector has been successful in inducing Government ;•, allow him to work out his own favourite crotchet, ;:nd he has hacked and hewn down, redueed and altered, and enlarged, with very little skill and less judgment, to qualify his unbounded self-confidence, till the one had well nigh left us without any ships of war upon the seas, as the other will, ere long, leave us without money in our coffers. That the gold coin should once in every two or three years be seized with a sweating sickness and rapid decline, is just the fate which was predicted from the hour of its birth for Sir ROBERT'S ricketty bantling. It was seized with hideous convulsions in 1825, before six years old ; in 1833-38-39 it all but perished under various forma of commercial and American col lapse. Sir ROBERT long since announced himself as is doctor who had been called in to consultation upon the state of the country. 'We are at full liberty, therefore, in exposing his empirical treatment of the unfortunate patient, to contend that when he dubbed himself doctor, he dropped too modestly a certain distinctive precnomen, which posterity will one day be sure to restore him. Ile administered alteratives in 1844, and in 1845 his patient is wasting at both extremities. In plain language, or figures at least, let us contrast a few of the symp toms at the different periods. In 1844, he boasted that such was the action of his monetary sys tem, that the Bank had in round numbers 18,600,000 of bullion in its cellars. Three weeks ago this amount bad declined, by almost regular gradations, to 16,050,0001. By last Friday night's Gazate we perceive that this has further decreased, till the aggregate of gold and silver bullion in store is only 15,393,7001. About three weeks ago the gold in store, coin and bullion toge ther, was 13 911,6071.; on Friday last it was 13,394,3061. At the former period silver bullion was 2,140,0081., at the latter only 1,998,394/. The symmetry of the bul lion proportions of our model currency is fast approach ing to its development, " small by degrees, and beau tifully less." A more melancholy exhibition than Sir ROBERT'S defence against Mr. SPOONER'S demonstration that the present monetary derangements were not owing to, but the inevitable results of his own unskilful tamper ing with the currency, we never heard. It was too good an exhibition, however, not to deserve a special notice ; a compliment we shall assuredly pay to it, when we have a litte more space to spare for that purpose. But we must remark, in pT,sing, that the coolness of his attack upon Mr. SPOONER was only to be equalled by the bad taste with which he introduced some coarse allusions to . that gentleman's commercial con nexion ; to Warwickshire men, and (ye gods !) to Castor and Pollux ! I Perhaps—a joke. Sir RoBE•RT PEEL's facetiousness is always the most ponderous levity imaginable. One joke of his would suffice, at any time, to ballast Mr. GREEN'S monster bal loon. But one of his currency pleasantries would as suredly bring down the serial navigator nearer to earth than the stoutest grappling iron that was ever wielded. To pass from Sir ROBERT tO his Chancellor of the Ex chequer—Mr. GOULBURN was much too discreet to be wiser than his leader. In answer to Mr. HUME'S com plaint that Government had done nothing to protect the poor from these periodical losses on light gold coin, he gravely uttered this defence:—He contended that the Government had taken measures to protect the poor to the utmost of their power ; but that, in truth, Govern ment had very little power over the coinage. That to provide district surveyors for great towns and for the metropolis, with proper weights and measures to test the coin on application, would be a process moat incon venient and expensive, since every little village and town would be claiming the same accom modation ; that the Government hud used every precaution to protect the poor by issuing orders to all the Postmasters throughout the Kingdom to take the gold coin at a deduction of threepence each sovereign, if the parties tendering it chose to part with it on these terms—and that, besides, every post-office was instructed to provide itself with an accurate machine to detect light gold. Admirable scheme for the permanent establish ment of a sound, safe, and indestructible gold currency ? Marvellous measures of protection for the poor from taking light gold ? These talismanic post-office scales of course aro to operate to prevent the poor from being previously defrauded by payments in the market place, or at the work table, or in the pay room ? Had we not witnessed the inconceivable apathy with which the Com- mons have pasted such ruinous measures as those of 1819, 1822, and 1844, on the currency, we should be unable to imagine how sensible men could listen to such twaddle as this. The truth must be told. The fault lies in the profound ignorance of the Legislature itself on this all-important subject. The education of the most cultivated of our pub lic mon has, in very few instances, been such as to afford The Gazette de Lucerne, the organ of the Jesuits, calls out for vengeance and reprisals on the whole Liberal party. The Journal des Debats comments on the insane fury of this organ of the bigots in the following admirable terms " All Switzerland is interested in seeing his assassins, should they escape the vengeance of the law, become the object of the unanimous outcry of public opinion, raised to brand this cowardly and execrable act! But, on the other hand, the shouts of vengeance and fury uttered by the Gazette de Lucerne are equally deserving or reprobation. I his is a call for reprisals, which would be as criminal as the murder of M. Leu, and which would cause more blood to now; for it is upon a whole party that the Gazette de Lucerne wishes the vengeance of the Catholics to fall. There is, we conceive, something even still more revolting in these savage excitations mingled with words of hypocritical devotion, and put forth in the name of an all pardoning God. How far would this frightful system of reprisal extend ? It would engender many others. The Catholics in the name of Jesus Christ, and the g of 0 1 nart. would cover S w it zer l an d w i t h civil war, with assass i na ti ons en 7 ntasee." m R ad u r e a r l s ' , lanndthtehunsambrein 'be them an opportunity of mastering the elementary prin ciples even of our monetary system. In after-life, men very generally entertain a sort of traditional distaste fur —a caste-like prejudice against—all investigations connected with the currency. In this way only can one account for the facility with which Hon. Members have been brought to sanction whatever extravagances Sir R. PEEL has thought proper to propose in relation to cur rency. To the cause of sounder views on this great question, we hail with unmingled satisfaction the acces sion of such champions as Mr. SPooxisa and Mr. NEW DEGATH. Thu former, profoundly observed that Agriculture, manufactures, and commerce were never in a prosperous condition at one and the same time, within the period during which the present standard of value had prevailed." The latter, after a dignified re buke to the Premier for the levity and personality with which he had attacked those who opposed and exposed his attempt at fixing a gold standard of value, concluded with these remarkable words.—They involve an appeal so eloquent and forcible that they must be successfully responded to. A letter from Brussels, which has been received in Paris, states that negotiations have been renewed for the reconsti tution of the Cabinet. According to the general opinion Messrs. NOTHOMB and GOBLET will alone be replaced. The portfolio of the latter has recently been offered to the Prince DE CIIIMAT. Messrs. DE LAcosTn, Dzciumrs, and n'Axis- THAN are all spoken of for the Department of the Interior. These papers state that the Russian Ambassador at Co. been informed th at at a large meet i ng of Swedish, and N orwegian students, M. ORLA LtPhemennhs Danish ,aingxe ing , hv a a navocet of the Supreme Court of that city, had made some allusions unfavourable to tho Russian Govern ment, made a representation to the Danish Cabinet on the subject, in consequence of which M. ORLA LEHMANN has been dismissed from his functions as avocat, and a prosecu tion ordered to be commenced against him, as well as against two other persons who spoke on the same occasion. The 15th anniversary of the three days of July will be cele brated this year with great splendour. The statue of the Duke of ORLEANS, Which has been erected in the court of the Louvre, will be inaugurated on the occasion. The Duke and Duchess of NEMOURS arrived at Vierzon on their way to Bourdeaux, on Wednesday evening. Through out the route they have been received with the greatest en thusiasm. " To proceed, year by year, with free-trade enact ments, accompanied by measures like the Currency Act of 1844, would be to cause such a pressure upon the people of this country as had never been equalled in any civilised state. Ile called upon the country and men of 1.:3 own standing not to be backward in obtaining a roper knowledge and understanding of this question. It was impossible for men to legislate on great questions of taxation upon articles of consumption without under standing IL" The Levant Mail has arrived, bringing accounts from Con. stantinople of the ith instant. The district of Lebanon still continued in a disturbed state. A dreadful fire had broken out in Smyrna on the 3d, which had lasted eighteen hours. The accounts from Athens were to the 10th inst. M.

BERTAN DE LYS, to whom all matters connected with the Press were entrusted by the Government, has resigned his post in the Home-office, for the purpose of showing that he had nothing to do with the late decree. All the Ministers were to leave Madrid on the 22d, to join the QUEEN at Sara gossa, where, amongst other questions, that of the convoca• tion of the Cortes was expected to be discussed. It was said that her MAJESTY would successively visit Saragossa, St. Sebastian, Toloso, Bergara, Mondragon, and Santa Agueda.

There are accounts to-day from Sydney to the 20th of March, but their contents are not of any importance. We understand that there has been an improvement in trade in most branches and this, most unquestionably, is a satisfactory feature. The colony is on the point of recovering from one of the most severe trials that has, perhaps, ever occurred in the history of the connexions of England with distant parts of the world. We learn from Port Philip that a considerable amount of damage had been done by fire. The agriculturists had suffered to a great extent. The Baltic trade is very active at the present period, but we cannot quote any variation in prices of importance. There has been a further advance in the Wheat market to-day, and from the present aspect of the weather, holders are looking for a further enhancement. Additional orders have been sent out, it is understood, for the purchase of foreign corn by the more wealthy firms in the City connected with the trade. The Stock Market has been rather fiat to day; Consols for the Account have been sold at 99, and for the first transfer to-morrow at 983% %. Money is rather more in request. Exchequer-bills have fallen to 535. premium, and East Indian Bonds are heavy at 695. premium. Bank Stock has been done at 211, and the, New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 1024 %. There has been a reduction in the quotation of the Russian Metalliques of 3 % per cent to-day. The Dutch Funds are rather firm. Peruvian Stock has fallen. In Spanish, but one or two bargains have been made in the Three per Cents, at 37%, and in the Five per Cents. at 26. Colombian Stock has been taken at 17%. An immense amount of business has been done in the Rail way Shares to-day, English as well as foreign. Prices, generally speaking, are on the rise. The exceptions will be found in the subjoined list.

In consequence of the triumphant tone assumed by the Journal des Debate in an article purporting to be a review of the session, published in that journal on Friday, the oppo sition journals of Saturday of all shades attack M. GUIZOT and his ministry. The following extract from the Constitu- Sionnel will give an idea of the general tone of the remarks in all the Opposition journals : " Never has a Government so signalized itself by such an absence of firmness, by such inaction, by such humiliating contradictions. We have seen Ministers voting in different ways in order to avoid being beaten, and calling together their friends to support an im portant artioie, and afterwards themselves opposing the article under discussion before the eyes of their stupified supporters. During the whole session, the Govern ment, humiliated, has been delivered uring up to the mercy of the most dishonourable interest. Ministers have been every day obliged to pay their ransom, and re-purchase their portfolios, and yet this is what is called establish. ins a representative Government in our country! The Globe, which passes for being the especial organ of M. GUIZOT, replies to these attacks, and thus sums up the events of the session : " in oonepinion tke session has witnessed the solution of ques ions the serious the most delicate, such as tn., of the Right of Search, Otaheite, Morocco, the Fortifications, and the Jesuits, without reckoning the various laws voted for the benefit of departments, cities, sea-ports, railroads, and Important manufac tures, that session, we say, has produced an important fact which should outweigh every other consideration—the position assumed by the Conservative party. A fresh coalition was, at the opening of the Chambers, organised against the Cabinet, and seriously threatened its existence, seeking for nothing less than to re store by the fall of the Ministry of October 29 that of Match 1, by the aid of a patching.up more or less skilfully performed. The Cabinet, shaken for a moment by the candidateship of M. Billault for the Vice-Presidency of the Chamber, might have been obliged to quit office. The majority appeared to have escaped from it. The Opposition had, so to speak, seduced Count Mold, and it was to be feared that the influence of the Hon. Peer, and the remembrance of his past services, would have brought about the decomposition of the Conservatives. Messrs. Thiers and Billault already seemed sure of victory ; they spoke in their most mellifluous tones, fearing to startle the Chamber; in the lobbies they promised all that was asked from them, even measures the most opposite to their policy ; they pointed out at a not remote period the termination of all pending difficulties, and spoke of their future advent to power with the most charming condescension. In presence of this difficulty, the Conservative party found in its intelligence, its devotedness, and its patriotism, a resolution which put an end to a situation so perilous. It assembled, reckoning its strength, and after having solemnly accepted M. Guisot as its head, said to the Ministers of October 29, ';Remain in power. You have our confidence, and you may reckon on our support. The majority is acquired for you in the Chambers. The country which we repro. sent approves of your policy—Lead on, we will follow you.' From this moment, intrigue was defeated. The Ministry was re stored to strength by so noble, so firm, and so wise a manifesta tion ; it reappeared in the tribune, and the world has seen whether it has not honourably sustained the battle which the Opposition has waged against it for the last seven months, or whether the Conser vative party hail ever been found wanting." The death of M. LEu, the great Jesuit partisan in Lucerne, is the subject of comment in all the journals of Switzerland and France. The Liberal journals attribute his death to suicide, caused by remorse ; the journals of the Government and those of the Jesuits attribute it to the act of an assassin. The facts, as far as they can be ascertained, are as follows: LEu, a rich peasant residing at Ebersol, was shot in his bed on the night of the 19th. Madame LEU, hearing the renort of a pistol, hastened to her husband's room, and found him in the bed dead, with a pistol shot through his heart. The house was full of domestics at the time, but no one either saw or heard the assassin. M. LEu was the chief partisan of the Jesuits in I.ucerne, and he had always urged the most rigorous treatment of those who opposed Jesuit influence. The Government of the canton, assuming that he had been asassinated, offer a reward of 1,000 crowns for the discovery of the assassin. The Liberal journals contend that there is every proba bility that M. LEI./ died by his own hand, and the National, after describing the circumstances of the case, thus argues the point : " It is around this Improbability that so much furious declama tion is flung about! Ah I it costs dear to the Jesuits to find that their friend, their right arm, the formidable paysan, represented by them as a model of piety, has plunged into the abyss, to the edge of- which they had brought him. It costs them dear to confess that this man, loaded with a responsibility too heavy for him to bear, continued to reflect upon it night and day, and, being no longer able to rest, be. came terror-struck at all the miseries he had caused; they shrink from a belief in the perturbation of a conscience which Gould not throw off its remorse, even after it had not only been absolved, but even blessed by the hand of the priest. They prefer believing in murder rather than in suicide, although circumstances concur in rendering murder next to impossible, while suicide appears to be the supreme effort of despair. The fanatics are unwilling that this example should be known by the publication of the truth; but we, on the contrary, wish, in the name of public morality, that the fact of suicide should be completely established. This is always a sad lesson, but murder is a still more lamentable one. In both, in this case, the only real culprit is that evil sect which has sown so much hatred, and already caused so large a quantity of blood to flow." The Presse, on the other hand, contends that M. LEu could not have committed suicide : " Some persons would wish to have it believed that the death of M. Lou is to be attributed to suicide caused by remorse, and the Radical journals of Switzerland just received endeavour to procure credit for the same hypothesis. Such a supposition, however, can sca rcely impose on the most credul ous. Not only is such an idea con t r adicted by the facts which w e yesterday published, but it is, ina wrong, b moralpointu t he of could viw most improbabl e . M.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. During last week the arrivals of English Wheat up to our market were, the time of year considered, very scanty, but of very superior quality. Of all other kinds of grain of home produce the receipts were very small, especially those of Barley, Beans, and Peas. The supply of Irish Oats exhi bited a falling off compared with that of the preceding week, but the imports of foreign parcels exceeded 22,000 quarters. Of other grain very few samples came to hand. Fresh up, the supply of Wheat from Lincolnshire, arising, we doubt not, from the improved currencies ruling here, were on the increase ; but from Cambridgeshire, Kent, and Sussex, very little came to hand. The stands being rather scantily sup plied with parcels of both red and white Wheat, and the ac counts received from our provinces this morning, by no means favourable as respects the appearance of the growing crops (and which 'by the way were received with great caution), the demand for English Wheat was steady. At the opening of the market the fac tors asked extravagantly high prices, viz., 683 to 70s per quarter for the best Essex white Wheat. Their de mands not being complied with, the holders were compelled to reduce their quotations ; yet a full average amount of busi ness was doing in the whole, at an advance in the prices obtained on Monday last of from is to 3s per quarter—being a rise on Friday's currencies of is per quarter, and at which nearly the whole of the parcels on offer were disposed of. The show of Foreign Wheat was rather scanty. Selected qualities were in good request at 3s per quarter more money ; while other parcels were is to 2s per quarter dearer. Corn under lock was inquired for, and held for a corresponding ad vance in value. Scarcely a single parcel of English Barley was brought forward ; and the show of foreign was far from extensive. Grinding qualities sold freely at full prices; while the value of other kinds was supported without difficulty. The supply of Malt was moderate. The best Ware samples sold freely ; other kinds slowly, at late rates. Of Foreign and Irish Oats the supply was good, owing to which the Oat trade ruled heavy, at prices barely equal to those paid on Monday last. A large portion of the Foreign Oats are now paying duty. Very few Beaus and Peas were on sale. All descriptions were steady, at full prices. For Flour we bad a brisk sale, at an advance of quite ss. per 2801bs. Several par cels of new canary and rapeseed were in the market; but the demand for them was limited. All other kinds ofseeds very dull.

From Hamburgh, per the Neptune, we have received 30 Oxen, all in good condition. It will be perceived that the total imports for this market for the week, have amounted to 230 Oxen and Cows, 119 Sheep, 36 Calves, and 10 Lambs. The principal portion of these supplies being disposed of on Friday last, the numbers of foreign stock on offer to-day were small, viz., 30 Beasts, 50 Sheep, and 8 Calves, the whole of which found buyers at good prices. The imports into Hull have been 120 Beasts and 90 Sheep. These, together with the previous importations, form the following totals for the present year:— Oxen and Cows. 3,692 London . Liverpool . Hull 2,530 Southampton Sheep. 1,480 Totals 6,246 1,680 For the time of year we had a very small supply of Beasts offering this morning from our own grazing districts, yet there was a slight improvement in their general quality ; owing to which the increased attendance of buyers, and the dead markets being well cleared of their last week's supplies, the Beef trade was active, at an advance in the quo tations obtained on Monday last, of from 2d to 4d per Sibs, the pritnest Scots readily producing 4s 6d per Blbs, and at w hi c h a good clearance was readily effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, we received 700 Scots, home-breds, and short , horns, &c.; from the Western and Midland Counties, 500 Herefords, Runts, Devons, ; from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds ' • from Ireland, 30 Beast s ; an d f rom Scotland, 300 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were very limited, there being upwards of 10,000 less exhibited than at the corresponding market day in 1844. Although the quality of this description of stock was by no means first-rate, there was an evident improvement in it. All kinds were in active request, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond last week's cur rencies, the plainest old Downs selling at 5s per 81b. There were very few store Beasts or Sheep on sale, and for which extravagantly high prices were demanded. The supply of Lambs was again small ; while the Lamb trade was firm, at full prices. Although the numbers of Calves were good, the sale for them was active, end the rates bad an upward tendency. In Pigs, comparatively little business was doing, at late rates.

The past week's arrivals of slaughtered meat from Scot land, as well as various parts of England, have been again seasonably extensive, and, comparatively speaking, of some what improved quality. Although the supplies of London killed Meat have been on the increase, the demand has ruled firm, and in some instances the quotations have had an up ward tendency, while clearances have been effected without much difficulty. About 20 carcasses of Beef, and 10 carcasses of Mutton—imported, in the first instance, from Holland— have been disposed of, the former at from 3s. to 3s. 4d., the latter at 3s. Bd. to 4s. per 81bs.
