At the outports about 600 head of various kinds of foreie
stock have been landed in good condition. There were 07
sale to-day about 450 Oxen and Cows, 540 Sheep, and 2 t
Calves from abroad, the whole of which found buyers
very full prices. For the time of year, the arrivals of Bea
from our own grazing districts fresh up this morning were
good as to number, but the quality was by no means first_

being large, the Beef trade was brisk, at an advance on !As!

ties 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of.
England 800 of various breeds; and from Scotland 300
horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were about
average ones, and of excellent quality. The primest old
Downs were mostly disposed of at fully last week's quota-
tions, the highest in the wool being 6s per Bibs, but all other
breeds moved off slowly, at barely late ratei. Downs out of
the wool were selling at 5s 4d per 81bs. We were fairly sur
plied with Lambs, 260 of which came to band from the 1911
of Wight, yet the trade was active, at an improvement 111
value of 2d per Blbs, the best Down qualities producing
6s 4d per 81bs. The supply of Calves was good, while_9l6
Veal trade was heavy, at barely previous currencies. DV

WOOL.
Since our last report the imports of Wool into Londoll
have consisted of 1,437 bags from South America, 550 bales
from Hobart Town. 1,100 ditto from Adelaide, 700 ditto from
Sydney, 115 ditto from the Cape, 120 ditto from Lisbon, and
29 ditto from Odessa. Public sales, which will be con-
tinued during the present week, are now in progress. AS
yet only a small quantity of wool has been thus offered,
yet the biddings have been tolerably firm at full prices. 111
the private contract market exceedingly little is doing.
TALLOW.
We have still to notice a very heavy demand for Tallow,
both on the spot and for forward delivery. The stock on
hand is very small, but parties evinced no disposition
to speculate. Town Tallow is in fair supply at our
tions. quota'

The seventh session of the present mayorally commenced
yesterday morning; the Lord Mayer, the Recorder, and dug
following Aldermen were present—viz., Sir C. Marshall

him it appeared that the calendar contained 236 prisoners in
amount, and comprehended also many cases of a very serious
character. With regard to larceny, there was an increase in
number: he found that there were as many as 84 cases or
simple larceny, 24 of larceny on the person, 34 cases of ler-
om ceny cmitted by rvnts, 9of larceny from dwelling'
houses, and 2 casesse a

making a total of 153 cases out of 236. In point o
number and importance this was a great increase. Th

were also forty-two cases of cuttingand wounding, four llae'
of manslaughter, five dreadful cases con tairfng ti
charges of un-
natural crimes. There were also charges of various atteniP
