METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a large supply of foreign beasts and sheep on
offer in to-day's market, in very middling condition. Sales
progressed slowly, at drooping prices.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh
up, this morning, were only moderate, both as to number
and quality. The arrivals from Scotland were very prime.
For all breeds, the demand ruled heavy, at a decline in the
quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81bs, and
a total clearance was not effected. The general top figure
for beef was 5s 4d per 81bs. There was a fair show of Irish
bullocks.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire, amounted to about 2,500 short
horns, crosses, ; from other parts of England, 800
various breeds ; from Scotland, 178 Scots and crosses; and,
from Ireland, 450 oxen.

With most breeds of sheep we were fairly supplied.
Prime Downs, half-breds, /co., moved off steadily, at full
quotations. Otherwise, the mutton trade was heavy, at
2d per 81bs less money. The best old Downs were worth
be 10d per 81bs.
Calves--the supply of which was moderate—were a slow
sale, at late rates—viz., from 4s to 5s per 81bs.
Prime small pigs ru'.ed steady in price ; but, large hogs
were a dull inquiry, at previous quotations.

BOROUGH HOP.
Our market continues very firm. For nearly all descrip-
tions of hops there is a steady consumptive demand, and
last week's quotations are fully supported. The import
into London last week amounted to 77 bales from Antwerp,

Ostend, and 161 bales from Dunkirk,

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The supplies of home-grown potatoes on sale at these
markets is seasonably large, but the arrivals are mostly
confined to the home growth, the receipts of foreign produce
being small. For most qualities there is a steady demand,
and prices rule firm, with a tendency to improvement for
fine samples. Last week's import was--100 tons from
Groningen, 6 bags from Hamburg, 44 bags, &c., from Rot-
terdam, 15 bags from Antwerp, and 13 baskets from Ostend.

WOOL.

The English wool trade continues to improve. The
amount of business doing is but moderate, the demand
still in a great measure confined to skin wools, which are
in fair average request at full prices. The quotations cur-
rent today for homegrown produce are without material
variation from Monday last. The public sales of colonial
wool will be commenced on Thursday next, and it is pro.•
bable that during their progress between 80,000 and 90,000
bales will be brought forward. The import into London
last week was confined to 306 bales from Adelaide.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BOY CHARGED "AITII ROBBING HIS FATHER —A
SAD CASE.—George Savage,
a boy, was charged before Mr
Knox with robbing his father.
Michael Savage, a master chimney sweep, of No. 10,
Hanover place, Bond-street, said he (the prisoner) was his
son. On Saturday afternoon while he (prosecutor) was out,
the prisoner left home, and some time after £1 2s 9d was
missed from a drawer, the money being safe a few hours
before. About 8 o'clock in the evening ho went to the
Marylebone Theatre, and in the gallery found the prisoner.
He then gave him into custody, when he handed the ser-
geant on duty in the theatre 19s, and also a scarf, at the
came time stating that ho had taken the money from the
drawer and bought the scarf out of it.
In answer to Mr Knox, the prosecutor said he had five
younger children than the prisoner, and that about two
months ago the prisoner went away with £2, and had
threatened his mother, with a knife in his hand, if she told
him. The boy had fallen into very bad habits for about
two years past.
Sergeant Roots, 7 D, having given evidence as to his
taking the boy into custody in the gallery of the Maryle-
bone Theatre,
Mr Knox sail th:best thing ho could do would be to
take the boy off the streets and send him to school. Ho
should therefore send the prisoner to Feltham for three
years, and the prosecutor would have to pay 3s a week to-
wards his maintenance.

The prosecutor said he should be happy to do so.

STREET ROBBERY.-Two lads named Wm. Reardon and
Charles Doughton, were brought before Mr. Knox charged
with stealing a watch from the person of Mr Auguste
Battman, a Frenchman, residing at 2, Old Compton-street.
Sergeant Coathupe, of the detective department, Scotlands
yard, stated that on Saturday night there was a large crowd
inOld Compton-street, in consequence of two boys lighting.
He saw the prisoners together, and Reardon pushed against
the prosecutor and took his watch. He lost the prisoners
in consequence of the crowd, but yesterday succeeded in
taking them into custody on Seven Dials.
M. Battman (through M. Albert the interpreter) deposed
that hearing a disturbance in front of his house he went
out to ascertain the cause, when his watch was taken from
him, but he was not aware of it till the officer spoke to him.
Reardon pleaded guilty.
Sergeant Coathupe said Doughton bore a good character,
and was at work up to Friday night. His master was pre-
sent and would take him back into his employ if he were
discharged.
Mr Knox said he would discharge Doughton, who had
evidently got into bad company, at the same time advising
him to be cautious for the future. Reardon would be com•
mitted, but would be brought up again.
Sergeant Coathupe said there was a conviction against
Reardon which he should be able to prove on the next
occasion.
