abroad, and the neighbourioud of London. There was

There were übout 10,000 Sheep in the market more than
at the same time last year. We had a fair demand for
Lambs, and prices were fairly supported. The arrival
from the Isle of Wight comprised 135 head of Sheep and
Lambe. In Calves, exceedingly little business was tran-
sacted, at a fall in the currencies of 2d per Blbs. Pigs
were very dull, and in some instances, prices ruled some •
what lower than last week.

NEVIGATE AND LEADENNALL.

The quantity of slaughtered Meat received up to
these markets during the week from ♦arious parts of
England has been comparatively small, but of full
average quality. Tho supplies on offer killed in the
metropolis have been seasonably good. Beef, Mutton,
Veal, and Pork, have sold to a fair extent, at about
stationary prices; but Lamb has further declined in
value 4d per 81bs. About 400 carcasses of foreign Meat
have been disposed of.

BOROUGH AND SPITALTIELDS.

The arrivals of potatoes from the north, at the water-
side, have somewhat increased since Monday last, but
from all other parts of England the supplies by water
carriage have been small. The total quantity received,
including, 1,200 tens by railway conveyance, has not ex-
ceeded 2,900 tons. From abroad we have received the
following supplies:—Rotterdam, 2,201 bags, 190 tons;
Amsterdam, 1 basket; Antwerp, 434 bags; Calais, 60
tons, 109 bags; Nantes, 109 tons; and St. Valery, 16
tons, including 48 tons of Carrots from the latter port.
The continued cold weather has produced a firm demand
for all descriptions, at improved quotations.
