METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
There was a moderate supply of foreign stock on sale in
our market, to day, the trade for which ruled inactive, at
late rates.

The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing
districts, were very moderate as to number; but their
quality was tolerably large for the time of year, and the
quality of the stock was prime. Fresh boasts of good and
prime quality were in steady request, at Thursday's cur-
rency—the top figure for beef being 5s Gd per 81bs. Stale
bcaata, of which th.zo wets /stye' at. loft- over from Thurs-
day's market, including all inferior breeds, met a slow sale,
at previous quotations.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nortamptonshire
we received 350 shorthorn; &c; from other parts of Eng-
land, including Norfolk, 300 of various breeds; from Scot-
land, 102 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 70 oxen
and heifers.

The supply of sheep on sale was small. Good and
prime downs, half-breds, 6tc., moved off steadily, at full
prices; otherwise the malting trade ruled inactive, at last
Monday's currency. The top quotation was Os per Blbs.
Only Dutch calves were exhibited for sale, and they
were disposed of at full prices.
There were no pigs at marker. Our quotations are
therefore nominal.

96 bales from Antwerp, 142 Boulogne, 140 Ostend, 5
Hamburg, 14 Rotterdam, 64 Bremen, and 250 bales from
New York,

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The fresh arrivals of potatoes are small, yet, owing to
the holidays, the trade is very slow, at our quotations.
Last week's import was 87 tons from Dieppe, 40 tons
from Harlingen, and 445 tons from Havre.

The Corn Exchange is closed to-Jay by order of the
Committee.
In the country markets held on Saturday dry English
wheats moved off steadily at full prices, but damp parcels
were a dull inquiry on former terms. Barley, oats, beans,
an peas were in slow request at about previous quotations,
The flour trade was quiet at late rates,
Advices from America state that the export demand for
breadstuffs is much restricted, whilst on the Continent the
amount of business doing in wheat for shipment to this
country is very moderate, Oats, however, are freely dealt
in for exportation.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 3,262
quarters of wheat, 8.462 barley, 64,330 oats, 3,700 rye, 47
beans, 124 peas, 545 tares, 6,712 linseed, 761 rapeseEd, 60
sundry seeds, 149 sacks and 4,791 barrels of flour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
CIIRIiTMIS DISORDERLIES.—A large number of persona
of both sexes were brought before Mr Tyrwhitt this morn-
ing charged with being drunk and disorderly. In all cases
where the charge was only for being drunk and incapable
tho defendants were discharged, but where disorderly con-
duct was proved small tines—as usual at Christmas—were
imposed. One of the men charged with being drunk and
incapable had under his arm his market basket with a
goose in it. Amongst the persons who had indulged
rather too free:y were several cabmen. One of
them was seen by a constable dodgiug round his horse's
head trying to put the nose bag on, but to no
purpose, as, after spending nearly five minutes in his en-
deavours to do so, he fell. In nearly every instance the
excuse was that yesterd-ay being Christmas-day an extra
drop was taken,

Charles Roberts, a pianoforte maker, was charged as fol-,
lows :—Henry Wendt, a tailor, living at No. 3, Clepstone-
street, said that there was a party last night in the first
floor of the house where ho resided, and after he (com-
plainant) had gone to bed about eleven o'clock, the defen-
dant was admitted into the house by one of the guests,
the defendant having knocked at the door and being
taken for one of the company. The defendant said he lodged
iu the house, and should stop there, but at last was per.
suaded to leave. He (complainant), who slept in the:par-
lours, and had Leen disturbed by defendant, then went to
bed again, but only to be aroused again shortly after by
the defendant, who again knoeked at the door and got ad-
mitted, and went upstairs, and refused to leave. Defendant
was, however, got out of the house, and quiet restored, but
not for any length of time, for he returned and knocked
violently at the door, and continued to do so as if
the house was on fire. The defendant was then given into
custody.

In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the complainant said the de-
fendant did not appear to be drank, but foolish.
The defendant said he had been to a party, and could
not persuade himself that he did not reside in the house.
Mr Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 10s., or seven days.
