SMITILFIELD.
For the time of year our market was but moderately
supplied with Beasts, the general quality of which was,
however, good. Although the attendance of buyers was
by no means extensive, the Beef trade was steady, and,
in some instances, the primest Scots produced a trifle
more money. The top quotation for Beef was 3s 8d per
Blbs. There was a slight improvement in the demand for
Sheep, the numbers of which were small, and the best
old Downs, in the wool, sold without difficulty at from
4s 2d to 4s 4d per gibs., being an improvement in value
of 2d per 81bs. In Lambs exceedingly little business was
transacted, and prices receded 4d per 81bs, they ruling
from 5s 4d to 6s 4d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight
130 Lambs and 10 Sheep came to hand per railway.
Calves were in fair average supply and steady request at
full currencies. In Pigs next to nothing was doing at
late rates. Milch Cows sold slowly at from 141 to 181
each, including their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Although the market is almost bare of fine samples of
Hops of the growth of 1848, scarcely a speculative pur-
chase has been made for some time past. To-day, the
demand for such descriptions is wholly confined to im-
mediate wants, at fully last week's quotations. In other
kinds so little is doing that prices are almost nominal.

Sin:wt.—There have been full prices obtained for
British Plantation, and since the opening of the mar-
ket on Wednesday morning a fair business has been
done, both by refiners and grocers, at about the rates
current before the holidays commenced. The sales
of British Plantation were 454 hhds on Wednesday, and
350 yesterday, including 160 hhds of the new crop of
Barbadoes, which realised 38s 6cl to 42s 6d for low to
fine yellow, and 36s 6d for brown, being full rates.
EAST INDlA.—Mauritius, 473 bags, sold well; mid to
good grey and yellow, 388 to 40s, and washed 36s to
38s 6d. Bengal, 4,000 bags, went at very full quota-
tions; grainy white, 44s to 495; damaged and washed,
41s 6d to 495; good and fine yellow Dhobab, No. 2,
42s 6d to 45s • damped and washed, 42s 6d to 44s 6d;
low and mid soft white Benares, 40s to 41s; low to good
soft yellow, 37s to 39s 6d; and damped and washed,
42s 6d to 44s 6d; low and mid soft white Benares, 40s
to 41s; low to good soft yellow, 37s to 39s 6d; and damp
and washed yellow Mauritius kind, 37s 6d to 40s
per cwt.

REFlNED.—Standard Lumps have been at full prices,
brown grocery at 50s 6d to 51s, and fair at Ma 6d to
59s 6d per cwt.

FOREIGN.—There has not been quite so much demand.
At auction 1,727 boxes 1 puncheon realised 41s 6d to 42s
for washed, the sound being taken in at 43s to 44s for
good. The business for exportation is restricted on
account, partly of the Danish war.
COFNEE.—The transactions in this article continue on
as limited a scale as ever. Native Ceylon has not been
quite so high, realising 31s to 33s for good ord, and 30s
for ord. Plantation, on the other hand, is at full rates,
good ord to f fine ord grey 38s to 47s 6d, triage 25s 6d
to 26s 6d, and pea-berry 46s to 47s 6d.
Cocos.—Trinidad grey to red has been sold at 39s 6d
to 42s 6d per cwt. The market is quiet, and there is not
much inclination to do business.

RlCE.—Madras has been sold at 8s to 8s 6d; Bengal,
2,000 bags and 500 pockets offered by auction was
bought in at 108 6d to I Is for good sound white, holders
requiring fuller rates.

ARROWZOOT.—Bermuda has been la lid, and new St.
Vincent 6d to 8d per lb.
_ _

SAGlo.—Pearl has been cheaper, good greyish, rather
bold gra.n, 193 6d per cwt.

R6l.—The market looks better. East India prool
s 3d per gallon.

. ..,
SALTPETRE.—The demand is good. Refraction five
per cent. 28s 6d. Rough 3Os for common.
COCRINEAL.—Honduras has realised steady prices;
ord dull to good bold silvers 3s 9d to 4s 5d per lb.
Currox.—There has been a quiet market at steady
prices.
TEA.-The value of most descriptions is supported,
but there is not much doing.
TALLOW.—P.Y.C. has been dull at 38s 6d per cwt
on the spot for small parcels. New has been at 39s 9d
to 40s.

GREEN FRIIIT.—A good demand exists for all kinds,
although the cold change in the weather has somewhat
chocked the demand for Oranges, a cargo of which, ex.
Vivid, from St. Michael, sold at public sale by Keeling
and Hunt, barely supported the prices obtained last
week. Part of a cargo, ex-Ellen, Gillman, from Palermo,
sold by the same parties, being out of condition,
went at prices proportionate to quality, the sound
marks of the parcel being taken for exportation.
Lisbon of sound quality command a better price.
Lemons are somewhat dull of sale. Nuts are without
alteration. The high figure of this article has tended
materially to check the consumption.

A Cabinet Council has been summoned for to-
morrow (Saturday) at the Foreign-office.
NRWSVENDERS BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT IN-
STITUTION.—Yesterday evening a meeting of the gene-
ral committee and subscribers of the above institution
was held at the Newsvenders'-hall, Black Horse-court,
Fleet-street, for the transaction of general business.

The report concluded with an earnest appeal to the trade
to help their poor brethren.
THE UNFORTUNATE EMILY SANDFORD.--SOMe of
the nobility and gentlemen of the county of Norfolk and
those members of the grand jury who remained till the
end I of the assizes, feeling anxious to raise a suns of
money to save the poor destitute woman Emily Sand-
ford from
utter ruin, have, we understand, determined
to raise a subscription, as the only means of averting the

object. The money so raised

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The arrival of English Wheat for our market during
the present week having been small, viz., 1,860 quarters,
the show of samples of that grain here, to-day, was
trifling. Selected qualities of both red and white ruled
firm, at, in some instances, an advance on the prices of
Monday, is per quarter. The middling and inferior
kinds moved: off steadily at full rates of currency.
At the close of the market a good clearance was
effected. This week's imports of foreign wheat have
amounted to 12,110 quarters. There was a some-
what active inquiry for fine dry quali ties at is per
quarter more money. All other descriptions were
steady and quite as dear. No English barley at market.
Fine foreign, fit for malting, went off on quite as
good terms; and, for the middling sorts, there was a
better demand, at previous rates. In Malt, next to
nothing was doing. The demand was wholly in retail ;
yet there were no sellers on lower terms. We had a
free sale for Oats; notwithstanding that the supply
was good (upwards of 23,000 quarters having come to
hand from abroad), and prices improved from 6d to is
par quarter. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Flour were
steady, at full prices.
