The market-to-day was very moderately supplied with
foreign stock, especially Beasts and Calves, yet the de-
mand for it was in a very sluggish state, at barely sta-
tionary prices. The numbers of home-fed Beasts were
less than those exhibited on Monday last ; but there was
a slight improvement in their general quality. Notwith-
standing the prevailing wet weather, the beef trade, as
the attendance of both town and country buyers was
good, was somewhat brisk, at an advance in the quota-
tions of fully 2d per 8133. A few very prime Scots sold
at 4s 4d ; but the general top figure for beef was 4s 2d
per 81bs. Previous to the close of the market nearly the
whole of the Beasts had been disposed of. Although
the supply of Sheep was on the decline, the sale for that
description of stock was in a very sluggish state, and last
week's prices were with difficulty supported. The best
old Downs, which were scarce, sold at from 45 10d to 5s
per 8 lbs. The Lamb trade was very heavy at Fri-
day's decline in value of from 4d to 6d per 8 lbs. The
best Down Lambs real.sed only from 4s 10dto bs per
8 lbs. The "season" ils now fast drawing to a close.
Calves, the supply of which was limited, moved off
steadily at late rates. There was scarcely any inquiry
fOr Pigs, in the prices, of which, however, we have no
change to notice. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire we received about 750 Scots and Short-
horns ; from the northern districts, 400 Short-horns ;
from the western and midland counties, 800 Herefords,
fonts, Devons, &c. ; and from Scotland 280 horned and
polled Scots.

The arrivals of country-killed meat for our market
during the past week have been very moderate, and of
but middling quality. With meat slaughtered in the
metropolis, we have been fairly supplied. Generally
speaking, the demand has ruled heavy, and the quotations
have had a downward tendency. About 600 carcases of
foreign meat have been brought forward in very second-
rate condition.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Very extensive supplies of potatoes are on sale in
these markets; nevertheless, the demand is steady, at
prices varying from 31 85 to 5/ 15s per ton. Scarcely
any arrivals have taken place from abroad.
BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
The plantation accounts received to-day not being
very favourable, the mould having appeared to some
extent in parts of Sussex and Kent, the Hop trade has
become firm, at very full prices. The duty is called
195,0001. Sussex pockets, 212 s to 2165; Weald of Kent
ditto, 214 s to 21 10; Mid and East Kent ditto, 218 s to

WOOL.
Last week's import of Wool into London consisted of
2,800 bales from S)dney, 200 ditto from Hamburgh,
and 200 ditto from various other quarters. In the pri-
vate contract markets, no sales worthy of notice have
taken place since our last report. In prices, we have no
change to notice.

TALLOW.
Our market, owing to the rapidly increasing stock,
and the large quantity of Tallow on its way from St.
Petersburgh (upwards of 7,000 casks) has become heavy,
and prices have fallen quite 6d per cwt. P.Y.C. on the
spot is selling to-day at 445 3d to 44s per cwt. Town

EVENING, AUGUST 1

IRELAND.

ARREST OF MEAGHER, OTONOGHUE,

AND LE YNE.

DUBLIN, SUNDAY.

A letter from Thurles this morning announces the
arrest the night before, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, of Messrs. F. W. Meagher, P. O'Donoghue,
and Maurice Connor Leyne. The arrest was effected
by constable P. Madden, and the Police patrol, on
the road between Rathcommon and Holy Cross.
The prisoners were conveyed to Dublin by Special
train from Thurles at half-past six, and conducted
under an escort of 20 of the Thurles police to the
Royal barracks. Captain Mackenzie, having seen
them safely deposited in the Royal barracks, imme-
diately proceeded with dispatches from General Mac-
donald to the Vice-Regal Lodge.
By the few provincial journals which reached
Dublin this morning ail would appear to be per-
fectly tranquil in the south. There is a close chase
after O'Gorman, but his capture is not likely to be
effected without giving the authorities some further
trouble.

It would appear by the latest accounts from Lime-
rick and Clare that O'Gorman has not succeeded in
effecting his escape.
ARRESTS IN DUNDALK.

The Newry Examiner of Saturday gives the fol-
lowing account of arrests in Dundalk :
" At about half-past ten o'clock on yesterday morning
Edward Mill, Esq., Sub-Inspector of Constabulary, with
about eight or ten police of this town, proceeded to the
Dundalk Patriot office, in Clanbrasffl-street, and imme-
diately after arrested the registered proprietor, Mr. James
Raleigh Baxter, on a charge of High Treason,' by vir-
tue of a warrant from the Lord-Lieutenant which ar-
rived that morning, authorising Mr. Baxter's capture.
Mr. Baxter happened to be in the office at the time, and
being informed of the object of the police, immediately
surrendered himself to Mr. Hill, and was placed in the
charge of one of the constables. The police then com-
menced searching for papers, and after occupying them-
selves in this manner for about an hour and a half,
conducted Mr. Baxter to the county gaol, where he
now lies." _

" ARREST OF WELLINGTON SIIEGOG, ESQ.—We have
been intormed on good authority that Wellington She•
gog,, Esq., solicitor, of Ardee, was arrested yesterday
morning at an early hour. Mr. Shegog, we believe,
was a Conservative until within the last few months ;
ho was in the habit of receiving the proclamations and
addresses from the Repeal Association in Dublin, and
having them posted up in Ardee. We have not learned
the charge on which ho was arrested.
" We understand that two or three persons who came
over here in the steamer with Mr. Ranson (whose arrest
we mentioned) were also arrested by policemen in co-
loured clothes, as soon as they arrived at our quay on
yesterday morning."
