At Hull and the other northern outports about 1,000
head of stock have been landed from Holland and Den-
mark, and a few French beasts have arrived in the
southern ports. By sea, from Ireland 38 Oxen have
come to hand for this market. The following official
statement shows the total importations of foreign stock
into the United Kingdom, during the first nine months
of the present and three previous years, ending on the
10th of October in each year :

A full average number of Foreign Beasts were on sale
in this morning'smarket. That of Sheep and Calves was
very moderate. There was a considerable increase in
the arrivals of home-fed Beasts put up to day—the
excess in number, compared with Monday last, being
about 600 head. The general quality of the Bullock
supply was very inferior. The scarcity of prime Scots,
Devons, Herefords, &c., produced a moderate inquiry for
those breeds, at full rates of currency—the top figures
for Beef ruling from 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs, but in the
middling and inferior qualities, only a limited business
was transacted, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per
Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamp•
tonshire, we received about 2,000 Short Horns ;
from the eastern, western, and midland counties,
700 Herefords, Hunts, Devons, Scots, &c. ; and
from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds.
With Sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say hea-
vily supplied. The number of Downs were unusually
small. As the dead markets were well filled, the
Mutton trade here to-day was in a very inactive state, at
a fall in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The general
top figure for Beef was 4s per 81bs, at which a clear-
ance was effected. The supply of Calves was but mode-
rate, nevertheless the Veal trade ruled heavy, at barely
stationary prices. Prime small Porkers moved off stew
dily, at full rates of currency. Otherwise the Pork trade
was dull.

The arrivals of country•killed meat having been con-
siderably on the increase, the general demand has con-
tinued in a very inactive state since our last report, and
prices of the middling and inferior kinds of Beef,.Mutton,
and Veal, have declined quite 2d per Slbs. About 900
carcases of foreign meat have been disposed of, and four
packages have arrived from Ostend. The supplies
slaughtered in the metropolis have been mostly very de-
ficient in quality.
