Scots and Shorthorns; from other parts of England, 500
Herefords, Runts, Devons, Shorthorns, ese.•, and from
Scotland 540 horned and polled Scots, chiefly per rail-
way. The numbers of Sheep were considerably on the
decrease. All breeds moved off freely, at prices fully
equal to those paid List week, and a clearance was readily
effected. Prime old Downs, in the wool, realized 4s 2d,
out of the wool 3s 6d per 81bs. At least two-thirds of
the Sheep were shearlings. From the Isle of Wight
70 Lambs came to hand. The receipts from other
quarters were moderate. On the whole the trade was
firm, and in some instances Dorsets were the turn dearer.
We were well supplied with Calves, the sale for which
ruled inactive, at late rates. The Pork trade was heavy,
but we have no change to notice in price!.

NENITGAT3II AND IMADENEALL.
Since Monday last these markets have been exten-
sively supplied with each kind of meat, derived chiefly
from Scotland and the provinces. Generally speaking,
the demand is in a very inactive state at the late decline
in the quotations. A few baskets of Mutton have
reached as from Hamburgh.

HOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Coastwise, the arrivals of Potatoes have been but
moderato since our last report, but very large supplies
have reached us from various quarters by railway. The
demand is heavy, and late rates are barely supported.
The general quality of the samples is remarkably good.

TI").—There is a Bill in the House of Commons to abo-
lish the criminal jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts in

• C.AoEMENTS.—The Exeter papers state that Sir Fitzroy
Kelly is positively pledged to contest the representation of

that city at the next general election, and that his committee
implicitly rely upon his coming forward according to pro-
misc. Meanwhile the Learned Gentleman has been elected

for Harwich, and it is a curious circumstance, that on the
very day the people of Harwich returned him as their Mem
ber Sir Fitzroy issued an address to the freeholders of East
division Suffolk, announcing his intention of standing for that division
of the county at the general election, in compliance with a
numerously-signed requisition to that effect recently pre--

when the dissolution takes place remains to be seen.—Ad-

FIRE IN HOLBORN.--On Saturday evening a attended with the lose of several hundred ponds' fire,
ds' worth of
property, broke out upon the premises of Messrs. Stannard,
wholesale picture-frame makers and carvers and gilders, 4,
Middle-row, Holborn, about eight o'clock. The
flames were
first seen in the back workshop S and owing to the com-
bustible nature of the stock they progressed most rapidly, so
that within a very few minutes the whole rang© of work-
shops were one mass of fire. The various engines were early in attendance, and no time was lost in setting them to work;
but, notwithstanding the firemen exerted themselves to the
utmost, the fire was not sufficiently extinguished to prevent
its extending further until half-past nine o'clock, by which
time Messrs, Stannard's manufacturing premises and their
valuable contents were destroyed; the premises of Mr.
Murphy, ironmonger, materially injured by fire and water;
and the house of Mr. Crossmore, hair-dresser, similarly
damaged. Messrs. Stannard are insured in the Phoenix
Office, Mr. Murphy in the Sun Office, but Mr. Crossraore is
uninsured.
