INTENVGATE AND LEADENHALD.
Although the weather has b en unfavourable for the
transmission of Meat to any distance, nearly 400 car-
cases of each kind have been received up to these mar-
kets from various parts of the country since Monday
last. The supplies on offer killed in the metropolis have
continued moderate. Prime Beef, Mutton, and Lamb.
have commanded a steady sale, at our quotations. Other-
wise the demand has ruled heavy, and, in some instances,
prices have given way 2d per Ms.

lii nouGm AND SPITAL.TILLDS.
Notwithstanding that the " season" for old Potatoes
must now be considered closed (respecting which we
shall offer some observations in our next report), sup-
plies still continue to reach us from the Continent. In
the past week we have received 2,900 baskets 140 bags
from Rotterdam; 16 tons 6 baskets from Antwerp;
3 baskets from Ostend; 7 baskets from Havre; and 14
barrels from Lisbon. The total quantity embraces about
450 tons, 50 being new. Scarcely any old English Po-
tatoes are on sale, and it is somewhat difficult to quote
prices with accuracy. They may, however, be stated to
rule from 80s to 190 s per ton. Foreign Potatoes are
selling from 40s to 90s, at which several parcels have
been taken by the cow-keepers.

BOROUGB HOP re.aitnnue.
From nearly all quarters our accounts respecting the
appearance of the bine are very unfavourable. Holders
are, therefore, firm, and will not 8(11 except at fully the
late advance in the quotations. The amount of business
doing is small, notwithstanding that the duty is called
from 90,000/. to 100,0001. The actual appearance of the
bine warrants no such amounts. Sussex pockets, 21 lOs
to 31 10s; WTeald of Kent ditto, 21 15s to 41 4s; Mid
and East Kent ditto, 31_10s to 71 103 per cwt.

WOOL.
The total arrival of. Wool into London last week
was confined to 164 bales from Hamburgh. The quan-
tity of Wool offering in the private contract market is
by no means large. Really fine qualities command a
steady sale, at full prices. In the middling and inferior
kinds comparatively little business is doing. Tho stocks
of colonial Wool in warehouse are about 45,000 bales.
Now English Wools are quoted as follows:—Long South
Down ewes and wedders, 94d to 10d; ditto, tegs, 10id
'to I Id; long Leicester ewes and wedders, with a portion
of hoggs, 9d to *I; all hon.?, 101 to 11d; half-br.,d
hogg', lid to lid; ditto ewes and wedders, chiefly
Norfolk, 9d to 10d per lb.
TALLOW.
Although no arrivals of Tallow took place last week
from any quarter, our market has ruled exceedingly flat,
and prices have again had a downward tendency. To-
day very little business is passing, and P.Y.C. on the
spot, is quoted at 38s 6d to 38s per cwt. For forward
delivery so little i doing that prices are nominal. Town
Tallow, 37s to 37s 3d per cwt, net cash; Rough Fat,
2s ld per 81hs.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COUR P.
(Before the RECORDER.)
ASSAULTING WITH INTENT TO ROB.—Dennis Murray,
aged 17, was placed at the bar charged with having as-
saulted a lad named William Lambert, in the employ of
Mr. Fairy, watchmaker, Tooley-street, and attempting
to rob him.
It appeared from the evidence that, on. the 12th June,
the prisoner observed Lambert receive several watches
from his master to be delivered to his customers. Upon
his coming into the street, the prisoner attacked him,
and attempted to rob him, but was unable to effect his
purpose.
The jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty, and
Tho RECORDER sentenced him to twelve months' im-
prisonment with hard labour.
Gaoss AND MALICIOUS LlBEL.—James Winch, pub-
lisher, Barking, was charged with publishing a libel on
the Rev. Robert Liddel, vicar of Barking, Essex.
The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty.
Mr. CLARESON stated the case to the jury; the pro-
secutor was a clergyman highly connected, and had been
Vicar of Barking for some years; he bad of late been
much annoyed by some articles contained in a penny
publication called " Sam Sly," which had been exten-
sively circulated in Barking. and sold by the prisoner—
one published on the 29th May, concerning the domes-
tics in the Rev. Gentleman's household was particularly
offensive, and it was upon this the present charge was
pref erred.
Samuel Barford said he was gardener to the prose-
cutor, and purchased two papers from the prisoner, who
exhibited them in his shop window; he had no doubt
the articles were intended to apply to his master.
Daniel Watkins, watchmaker, Barking, corroborated
the evidence of the last witness.
Rev. Robert Liddel—Has been Vicar of Barking, and
lived there for the last thirteen years with his wile and
family. He sent his gardener to purchase the papers at
the prisoner's shop; there was not a shadow of truth in
the article in question.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty. •
Mr. CLARKSON by deAre of the prosecutor recom-
mended the prisoner to mercy, as his wish was not so
much. to punish as to put a stop to the publication.
The RECORDER observing that it was a very dis-
graceful case, sentenced the prisoner to six months' mai.,
prisonment.
Three men, named Caffyn, Tredgold, and Cranch,
pleaded guilty to an indictment charging them with
being the publishers of the same paper. Tredgold being
an apprentice of Caffyn's, was liberated on his own re-
cognizance, to receive sentence when called upon; Caffyn
was sentenced to pay a fine of 10/., and to be imprisoned
for 6 months; and Craneh to be imprisoned for 6 months.

ESCAPE FROM DROWNING DT A NEWFOUNDLAND
Doo.—On Wednesday week, two young men from
Wild's Theatre, in Chadwick Orchard, had hired a boat
for a short excursion on the river Ribble. On their re-
turn they commenced the dangerous practice of " sky-
larking," when suddenly one of them fell backwards out
of the boat, and immediately sunk. Fortunately, a
party on the shore perceived the accident, and almost at
the same moment when hearing the plunge, a powerful
Newfoundland dog sprung into the river, and reached
the spot just us the body rose. On the cap of the man
presenting itself to view, it was seized by the dog, but
being loosely tied it gave way, and the body sunk a
second time. The dog, however, finding he had missed
his object, abandoned the cap, and barking furiously, re-
turned in time to seize the drowning man by the arm as
be again rose to the surface. This hold he cautiously
relinquished, and the collar of the young man's coat was
firmly grasped in the dog's powerful jaws, who swam
with him, keeping his head above water till he reached
the shore. Mr. Samuel Wild had by this time gone in
to the poor fellow's assistance, but the dog was before
him, otherwise he would have inevitably been drowned.
He was carried to the nearest public-house, when it was
thought lit© was extinct, bit upon the usual restoratives
being resorted to, he began to show symptoms of reani-
mation.
THE CLERGY OF CANTON.—In Canton there are
one hundred and twenty-three temples, dedicated and
consecrated to the three heathen sects, namely, Taou,
Baddh, and Ju-kca-su, or Confucius ; to these various
temples belong about 2,0. 00 priests, and 1,000 nuns,
who are maintained out of the funds appertaining to the
several places of worship, the revenues of which arise from
estates, and money bestowed by the Emperor, and wealthy
individuals, for the maintenance of these temples of sin
and vice. The priests and nuns are a vile, dissolute,
profligate, illiterate set, the former frequently seeking
refuge in a temple, and becoming priests to avoid paying
the penalty of theft or murder; whilst others will em-
brace the priestly profession, having no other means of
livelihood, and from being too lazy to work. The
revenues, set aside for the maintenance of temples,
priests, and nuns in Canton, exceeds 103,3354—China
and the Chinese.
Gothic exemplars multiply apace, and architects
are ensured a sate road, though it be a low one, and are
saved the trouble of thinking. Soon there will be no-
thing left to draw but the nail-holes, and this will pro-
bably be done, so that the medimval disposition of these
may be rigorously followed. Regarded as evidences of
the spirit in which the Gothic architects proceed( d, and
illustrations of the principles which guided them,—as
materials for us to work with, and suggestions by means
of which we may proceed onwards, these illustrations
are of great value ; but if used only for the purpose of
servile imitation, as is too much the case, so far from ad.
vancing architecture amongst us, they will necessarily
tend to stay its progress. Nothing great in art can be
done without progressive efforts; retrogression, except so
far as may be necessary to get out of a wrong road into
the right one, is not the way forward.—Builder.
A CHINESE HooAnru.—Upon closely examining
these drawings, their manifold beauties became more and
more apparent, and the opium smoker's progress would not
alisgrace Hogarth, either for conception or handling; this
series is painfully correct in all its details, as those ss'nu
have watched the career of an opium devotee can testify;
the accuracy and fidelity observed by Chinese artist s gene-
rally, contrasts strangely, and at times amusingly, with the
attempts made by our own artists, to represent Chinese
customs and manners. Lum-qua pointed out these ex-
traordinary discrepancies in an English work, saying,
"Supposs Enytis man no plenty know why for talk lie
pigeon all some rat; m( tinh he plant,} fuolo: Chinaman
no all some foolo, what see can do, what no see no
can do;" and in these sentiments we coincide with Luna-
qua, the Sir Thomas Lawrence and the Hogarth of
Ghlus.—China and the Chinese.
