LONDON. MONDAY. JUNE 22, 1846.

It is with the deepest regret that we have ob-
served the extraordinary increase that has taken place
within a short time back in murderous assaults, in
the unmanly and un-English practices of having re-
course to deadly weapons on every trifling provoca-
tion. Already, within this year, two of our fellow-
creatures have expiated, by a disgraceful death on
the scaffold, the grievous offences of which they
had been guilty, and by which the victims of
their revengeful feelings were hurried into eternity
without a moment's time for preparation for the
awful change they were about to undergo. In the
first of these cases, that of the man QUENNELL, he
had been discharged from the situation he had pre-
viously held, in consequence of statements made to
his brother and employer by another man in the same
service; he forth with procured a pistol,
and in a crowded thoroughfare, in the
bright face of day, he deliberately deprived
his fellow-creature of life. Shortly afterwards an
apprentice boy, who had, or fancied he had, cause to
complain of undue severity on the part of his master,
eliberately murdered that master standing on the
threshold of his own door, whither he had gone to
give admittance to his assassin. In each of these
cases the cause that led to the fatal results may be
traced to the facility with which the instrument of death
may be procured and retained, the familiarity with its
use that results from a continued possession, and the
having at hand the means of giving effect to the most
bloodthirsty feelings in the very moment, or at least in
the first heat of anger, without time being permitted
to elapse sufficient for the cooling down of the pas-
sion, and the recollection of the fearful
consequences that might result from its
indulgence. Within the last few days
a trial has taken place at the Central Criminal Court
that demands the most earnest attention of parents
and others acting as the guardians of youth, and
loudly warns against the indulgence of the pernicious
wish for the possession of fire-arms. A lad, aged
sixteen years, stood at the bar, charged with
having deprived an innocent man of life—a per-
son wholly unknown to him, who was casually
passing through the street on his lawful business.
There was no evidence that the parties had ever met
before, or to induce the suspicion of any feeling of
hostility existing in the mind of the prisoner towards
the deceased. The prisoner was, therefore, not
charged with wilful murder, but with the lesser
offence of manslaughter. The law in such case is per-
fectly clear and distinct. In the words of the Learned
Judge, if a person having a deadly weapon in his
possession makes use of it in a negligent or careless
manner, and death ensues in consequence, the offence
would be manslaughter. It appeared that a few mi-
nutes before the fatal occurrence the prisoner had
entered into an altercation with a young woman, who
had accidentally pushp4 against him, and that he pro-
duced the loaded pistol, making use of threats towards
her. Two men saw him pass with the pistol in his
hand, the manner' rin which he carried it may
be conceived from the evidence of the witness HATH-
AWAY, who states that on seeing him the witness
stepped aside, being fearful that he might be shot.
The witness KIMBER saw the prisoner with the
pistol in his hand, and shortly afterwards heard the
report of fire-arms; at the time there was no one
near enough to the prisoner to touch him ; it appeared
to him that the prisoner was in the act of half
cocking the pistol at the time it went
off. The jury, notwithstanding this evidence, which
was not contradicted or impeached in any manner,
acquitted the prisoner, and thus practically found that
the person who had pulled out a loaded pistol, and
with it threatened a female—who walked with it in
his hand, so as to alarm a passer-by—and who cocked
it in the streets—had not acted in a negli-
gent or careless manner. We are at all times
unwilling to impeach the decision of a jury ;
we fully concur in the benign principle of the British
law, that it is better that one hundred guilty persons
should escape than that one single innocent person
should be convicted, and that if a doubt be enter-
tained, the prisoner should receive the benefit of that
doubt ; but we confess that in thin case we cannot
agree with the jury in the conclusion at which they
have arrived. A duty of vast importance
devolved upon them—the interest of society
demanded at their hands a verdict which
would protect the public against the repetition of such
recklessness and indiscretion ; and valuable lives here-
after may be lost—may pay the penalty of their
undue leniency. We do not in the slightest degree
question the motives of the jury, but persons filling
such responsible a situation should not permit any
feelings of pity, or idea of the consequences
to the accused, to warp their judgment, or
induce them to find a verdict contrary to the evidence.

Our readers will not have forgotten the extraor-
dinary number of public demonstrations upon the
commercial policy of Government which were simul-
taneous with the opening of the present Parliament.
Nor will they fail to recollect the gradual diminution
in the number of these demonstrations in proportion
with the development of the discussion
in the Lower House. The free-traders
were so assured of victory that any further
persistance in their assemblies and their petitions to
the Legislature appeared to be nothing less than a
superfluous impertinence. They recognised in the
abrupt silence of their mammoth advocate, " the
League," the glorious fact that their industry in
peaceful agitation had not proved altogether fruitless,
that those principles which had been revolving in the
popular mind during so many years of apparent
apathy had now acquired the requisite impetus,
and were rolling with an unerring celerity towards
the goal for the attainment of which they had
struggled so much, spoken so much, longed so much,
been reviled so much. Consequently this sudden
declension of anxiety, far from originating in any
sentiment of indifference about these wonderful in-
novationsaz in our system as a mercantile people,
se
from the
their
inhabitants the feeling
of this of satisfaction with

lation. All interest abandoned the town-halls,
and the corporation banquet-rooms, and
even'
Covent-garden Theatre itself, to become concen-
trated upon the deliberations and divisions of St.
Stephen's. Hence has arisen thtahteundeexbaamteple:lf tsruaent
h-
quillity " out-of-doors'' d. uring
unprecedented changes in some of tihoen-1110:
damental principles of the Constitut
tran-
quillity which has been foolishly mentioned
as a testimony rather of calamitous apathy than
of inexpressible earnestness. It is this very tran-
quillity which we regard with such peculiar gratifi-
cation both as accordant with the great spirit of this
century and as evidence of the wider spread of do-
mestic civilization. Though of anything but a
phlegmatic or atrabilious temperament, the English
multitude is proverbially loath to embroil itself in
political questions vi et armis, or by any unne-
cessary show of insubordination, to partake bodily in
the effervescence of party squabbles or legislative
cabals. Jowl BULL, though unquestionably a very
uproarious and outrageous fellowlwhen "roused," is,
nevertheless, extremely scrupulous of "taking up the
cudgels," unless he observes either the ne-
cessity or advisability of such a proceeding.
Precisely for these very cogent reasons did the .

population of this country subside from all the bustle
attendant upon acclamations, and orations, and pe-
titions and assemblies, to that almost breathless
silence for which they have been remarkable during
the present session. They saw no utility "in crying
Sessa," with CHRISTOPHER SLY, and beating their own
shadows. They had ploughed, and sowed, and har-
rowed, and irrigated, and they repose with folded arms
until the sunlight of legislative (wisdom shall have
fructified their labours, have ripened their opinions
into a law, and enabled them to reap an abundant
and consolatory harvest. That, we take it, is the
correct definition of this tranquillity, the solution of this
so called problem. It has sprung from joy, not sorrow ;
exultation, not despondency; the intensest interest, not
an Inexcusable indifference. Such, at Ii ast, has been
the actuating principle of the vast majority. Others
have been impelled to this silent course, because of
their uncertainty—the lull in the exchange of mer-
chandize extending to a lull amongst the mer-
chants. One branch of trade has delayed
the importation of additional goods, under
the uncertainty of an immediate re luction and ulte-
rior removal of the Customs' duties. One trade has
infected another with this procrastination, and
a stagnatory effect has been necessarily pro-
duced in a considerable bulk of the com-
munity. It becomes, therefore, clear, beyond
all disproof, that the exceeding quietude which has
pervaded society throughout these very remarkable
discussions, has proceeded from a prevalent sense of
satisfaction, mingled with a deep yearning for the
achievement of freedom to commerce. To-morrow
evening the Bill for the realisation of this object will
arrive at its final stage, previous to that of obtaining
the royal sanction; it has passed triumphantly and
unmutilated through the first, second, and third reading,
in the Commons; it has crossed the Beresina ofParlia-
ment—the Committee in both Houses ; it has pro-
ceeded, likewise, with similar success through the
first and second reading in the Peers : to-morrow
evening the " Corn Importation Bill" will be in-
troduced to the legislative aristocracy for its
third and final reading, having passed which,
the signature of our beloved and gracious SOVERIGN
will render free trade the presiding genius of British
commerce. Then, but not until then, the popular
silence will terminate—the voices of the people will
resound throughout the land expressive of their exul-
tation at an achievement of such an inestimable
importance, and the reverberation of those voices
cannot fail, in time, to find an echo in the council-
chambers of the most remote among the civilised
nations of the globe. Such assemblies as that of the
Cuckfield farmers, on Friday evening, will still con-
tinue the intermittent throes of monopoly, while
assemblies, even more influential than the Marylebone
Vestry, on Saturday, will testify, not that " fifteen
thousand," but that fifteen thousand thousand souls
are grateful for the boon of JUSTICE !

Lord STANLEY, on Monday evening, while pre-
senting the " letting-I-dare-not-wait-upon-I-would "
petition of certain of the merchants and bankers of
the City of London on the subject of the corn-laws,
dwelt with much complacency upon the fact, that
amongst the names of firms attached to that petition
was-to be found that of BARING Brothers. As my
Lord STANLEY seems inclined to hold up the firm of
BARING Brothers as a high authority in political
matters, it may perhaps be as well to consider the
political professions of the several individual
BARINGS who go to make up the aggregate of this
great, trustworthy, and authoritative firm. The poli-
tical career of the individual BARING Brothers has
been excellently planned for the advantage of the
aggregate BARING Brothers. It has always so hap-
pened that of late years there has never been any
great political party which could fairly aspire to office,
or any section of what the French call possible Mi-
nisterial men, but that section or that party has
numbered amongst its adherents a BARING. Prior
to 1830, the posssible men were divided into
Whigs and Tories, the latter being in office ;
we find Sir THOMAS BARING a Tery, and
Mr. ALEXANDER BARING a Whig. Sir THOMAS
BARING retires from Parliament, and his son
Mr. FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING, enters public
life as one of the Secretaries of the Treasury
under the Whig Government. Mr. ALEXANDER,
BARING, heretofore the Whig Member for Taunton
becomes the Tory Member for Tregony, and opposes
most energetically those measures which Mr. FRANCIS
THORNHILL BARING as energetically supports. The
Whigs are ejected in 1835, and although Mr. FRANCIS
Tucuman'. BARING loses office, yet the firm of BAR-
ING Brothers has its consequence greatly increased,
for the ex-Whig Commoner is transformed into the
Tory Peer, and Mr. ALEXANDER BARING
becomes Lord ASHBURTON. The Whigs are restored
to office, and the firm of BARING Brothers is repre-
sented in the Ministry by Mr. FRANCIS THORNHILL
BARING, now appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The firm, however, is not without its representative
in the camp of the Conservative Opposition in the
Commons, Ifor whilst Mr. FRANCIS THORNHILL
BARING, the Whig Member for Portsmouth, is a
Cabinet Minister, Mr. HENRY BINGHAM BARING,
the Tory Member for Marlborough, is an influential
member of that great Conservative party which it
was the boast of Sir ROBERT PEEL that he had
built up, and accordingly when the great Con-
servative party ejected the Whigs from office,
albeit Mr. FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING went
out of office with his colleagues, still was the
Treasury blessed with the presence of a BARING, and
if the firm on the one hand lost a Chancellor of the
Exchequer, in the person of Mr. F. T. BARING,
it on the other gained a Lordship of the Treasury, in
the person of Mr. HENRY BINGHAM BARING, and a
Foreign Embassy in that of Lord ASHBURTON.
After the PEEL Ministry bad been in office about two
years it became evident that certain of the
ultra-Tories had taken umbrage at the free-
trade tendencies of the Premier, and that
a split among the Conservatives at no dis-
tant day was inevitable. A vacancy occurred in the
representation of the City of London, and the candi-
date who came forward as the champion of the ultra-
Tories and ultra-Protectionists was no other than
Mr. THOMAS BARING, own brother to the free-trader
Mr. FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING, heretofore Whig
Chancellor of the Exchequer. Defeated in London,
he afterwards was elected for Huntingdon, and en-
tered Parliament just in time to secure
for the firm of BARING Brothers a re-
presentative in every political camp. Whatever
party may be in power, the house of BARING
Brothers will be sure of being connected with office.
Should Sir R. PEEL continue Prime Minister, Mr.
BINGHAM BARING continues in office also. Should Lord
J. RUSSELL become Premier, Mr. F. T. BARING will
be his Chancellor of the Exchequer. Should a
STANLEY and RICHMOND Ministry be formed, Lord
ASHBURTON will be a member of the Cabinet, and
Mr. T. BARING will have an Under Secretaryship at
least. From their long connexion with America,
" BARING Brothers" have imbibed a considerable
portion of that "'cuteness" which is the distinguishing
characteristic of the Yankee; but, while we are wil-
ling to accord to them the credit of being " tarnation
smart chaps," we must be permitted altogether to
deny that they are entitled to any respect as great
political authorities.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.

In the Chamber of Peers, on Friday, the Prince DE
LA MosxowA, the son of Marshal NEY, protested in
the most indignant language against the too.celebrated
allusion made by Duke PASQUIER to the circumstances
attending the death of the " bravest of the brave."
Duke PASQUIER avoided discussion or explanation by
raising a technical point of order, and thus the matter
ended. The scene, which was most exciting, is thus
graphically described by the National—
" The son of the victim, unable to suppress his indigna-
tion, exelaimed, turning half-round towards the President,
You have dared to talk of his degradation, Monsieur le
Duc ! Ah, indeed, his enemies killed him, but they could
never degrade him 1' At this burst of the heart an ir-
resistible impulse produced powerful and almost unani-
mous cheers from the assembly responsive to the pene-
trating accents of the Prince. M. Pasquier, at first un-
shaken, at length dropped his head upon his desk, and,
when he raised it, his eye was dimmed, his countenance
pale and flaccid, and his attitude was that of a man
listening to his sentence, the wrinkles of his face from time
to time flushed with a sanguine hue. The torture he under-
went must have appeared to him very much lengthened,
and the evident sympathy of the Chamber with the
member who inflicted the chastisement must have ren-
dered it still more cruel. However, M. de Castellane
got up from his seat, and the Prince de la Moskowa,
fixing his eyes upon him, said aloud, I hear some one
demanding permi•sion to speak. If there be any one in
this Chamber who wishes to become an accomplice in an
infamous judgment, let him rise, and I will give bins credit
for a singular mark of courage !' M. de Castellane then
rose, and, having made one half turn, sat down again.
The Prince continued his accusation of M. Pasquier with
increasing force. He recalled all that passed in 1834, when
Excelmans characterised the execution of Marshal Ney as a
judicial murder. This lesson ought to have made the Presi-
dent reflect, but it seemed to have had no effect. M. de la
Moskowa hopes at least that this protest will be the last. In
answer to observations made by us, M. de la Moskowa ex-
plained why he remained silent at the moment when M.
Pasquier adduced the degradation of his father as a prece-
dent for that of Leeomte. The words were so unexpected,
that he was struck as by a thunderbolt, and deprived
of all power of speech or thought. The affectionate atten-
tions of his colleagues, who pressed around him, were
insufficient to restore to him his faculties of ex-
pressing himself. He was, in fact, crushed by this unex-
pected and odious provocation, which violated the most
ordinary consideration for himself, and was not only a
deadly outrage upon the heart of a son, but a no less
insolent and violent offence against public opinion. Still
M. de Castellane moved to the tribune ; but soon
felt that all recollections had been revived by the speech
of M. de la Moskowa. M. de Castellane bad not ascended
the steps of the tribune before there arose cries from all sides
of the Chamber of No, no !'—' The order of the day !'—
The President declared that M. de Castellane had, received
permission to speak, but numerous voices exclaimed, He
shall not have it.' He, however, though pale, was intrepid
enough to speak. The storm increased, and raged on every
bench. He opened his mouth, but the tumult extinguished
his words. He made gestures, showing that he was deter-
mined to maintain the responsibility he had assumed in
bravado. He was seen, but not heard. Nothing could be
distinguished but a confused noise, such as the rept uagenary
vaults had never before given out. Amidst the rappings
made with the paper knives upon the desks, the stampings of
feet on the floor, and the vociferation of The order of the
day,' three or four generals rose, and cried out in indignant
terms, It is infamous.' One said, It is abominable !
Come down from the tribune !"Enough ! enough !" Too
much !' General Roguet, who was below us, could not re-
sist his feelings; his eyes flamed as if he were in battle; his
old blood was up, and his voice, as if in the midst of con-
flicting armies. We more than once thought he would rush
forward as if mounting to the assault, and make a breach
in the dress of his colleague. This extraordinary scene
lasted more than ten minutes; all the dignity of the
Chamber was lost. During this time M. Pasquier stood be-
hind M. de Castellane, now addressing himself to him, now
appearing to be struck dumb by the tremendous explosion.
He endeavoured to obtain silence, but all his authority was
gone—the Chamber would not allow any one of its Members
to exhibit the scandalous attempt to show an adhesion, how-
ever remote, to the infamous deed of which it had been re-
minded. When M. de Castellane came down from the tri-
bune there was silence for a moment, the Peers evidently
wishing to afford its President an opportunity for giving an
explanation. But what explanation could he give? What
could he say for himself? M. Pasquier endeavoured to get
out of his difficulty by making a pitiful tirade against the vio-
lation of secrecy ! Let him ponder upon the lesson he has
received; and,if in doing so he recalls the course of his
life, and the part he has taken in history, he, perhaps, will
feel that the time is come for him to retire and seek in soli-
tude, or in the leisure of private life, reflection and repent-
ance."

The Constitutionnel has a long article on this subject.
Speaking of the scene presented by the Chamber during
the attempt made by M. DE CASTELLANE to obtain a
hearing, it says:—" This scene was not without its
grandeur. It was a homage paid to the memory of
Marshal NEY ; a revision of his sentence by acclama-
tion."

The Ministerial Journal des Debais contents itself
with the following observations:—
"We shall merely mention that explanations took place
yesterday, before the Chamber of Peers, between the Prince
de la Moskowa and Chancellor Pasquier. They referred to
an incident which, it is said, took place in the secret com-
mittee of the Court of Peers, after the condemnation of the
regicide Lecomte. The Prince de la Moskowa, yielding to a
sentiment, natural and honourable in its source, but perhaps
exaggerated under the circumstances, protested in moderate
and suitable terms, which the Chamber listened to with
favour. On his side, Duke Pasquier used the incontestible
right, which the regulations gave him, of refusing to enter on
a discussion foreign to the order of the day and to the legis-
lative deliberations of the Chamber. The explanations of
the President met with universal assent."
The Courrier Francais has an article on the refusal of
the Government to authorise the formation of a free-
trade league in Paris, in imitation of the one which has
been formed in Bordeaux. The Courrier considers that
the application for the authorisation ought not
to have been made at all, inasmuch as al-
though the Ministry could not identify itself
with the League by granting it authorisation, yet it the
League had been once formed without authorisation, the
Ministry would hardly have ventured on such a hazardous
display of authority as an attempt to put it down by force.
The proposition of M. DE ST. PRIEST, for the in•
troduction of a uniform rate of postage of 20 centimes,.
was on Thursday rejected by the Chamber of Deputies.
The Minister of Finance promised that next session he
would re-introduce the Government Bill on this subject.
Baron DE BARANTE has been ordered to repair to
St. Petersbtsrgh to resume his post of Ambassador from
France, and M. BECIIENDORFF will, it is said, arrive
shortly in Paris in the quality of Russian Ambassador.
According to La Park, the Chamber of Deputies will
be dissolved on the 2d July, and on the 4th a royal
ordonnance will be published announcing the creation
of a new batch of Peers.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 2,500
bales. Prices were without alteration. Shares were dull.
An intense degree of interest is shown in the City this
morning to have the result of the division in the House of
Commons this evening or to-morrow morning on the Irish
Coercion Bill, as there appears to be some grounds for the
presumption that the lengthened debate upon it will not
longer be procrastinated, but if so, the factious opposition
must daily be of less effect than at the present moment. The
Corn Bill is held to be safe among merchants and capitalists,
and the royal assent being given to those vital changes in
the tariff, little is cared for amongst commercial men at the
fate of the Coercion Bill, as the intention of Government
in introducing it has already had almost the intended effect,
by reducing the amount of crime in those districts where the
most horrid scenes were witnessed of late.

There are accounts from Ceylon tiii;morning, but little
of importance is conveyed in them. It is said upon autho-
rity, that were the protective duties removed, the best
lands alone would yield a remunerative profit. This is the
constant theme of the protectionists in this country, not a
scintilla of allowance being made for improvements that
must be made under a more liberal order of things. By the
aid of scientific exertions, there is no doubt that lands at
home, as well, as in the colonies, will be brought into pro-
fitable cultivation, where now there may be a temporary
loss.

The grain markets are looking up, notwithstanding the
prevalence of the most magnificent weather for maturing
the crops. In the last week, the sales in the markets enu-
merated by Act of Parliament, the average prices paid in
which regulate the duty on foreign corn released from bond,
were, of wheat, 87,508 quarters ; of barley, 7,680 quarters;
of oats, 23,231 quarters ; and of beans, 5,851 quarters.
Consols for the Account have been very steady this morn-
ing, at 051/s ; and precisely the same values have ruled
for the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities. The New Three-
and .a-Quarter per Cents. have been heavy, at 96%. Ex-
chequer-bills have been sold at the very low premium of 55.,
both for the 1,000/. and the 500/. bills. India Bonds are lower
also, fetching but 20s. premium.
Portuguese Four per Cents. have been sold at 493/4,
Spanish at 24%, Mexican at 273/4, the Deferred at 16,
the Three per Cent. Spanish at 371/s, the Dutch Two-and-a-
half per Cents. at 601, and the Four per Cents. at 9214.
In the Share Market the business done to day has not
been of much importance. The rejection of the Dublin and
Galway Bill has created some disappointment.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

During last week the arrivals of English Wheat, Barley,
Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were on a very limited scale,
but those of Malt were moderate. Front either Ireland or Scot-
land, very little Grain of any description came to hand, but
from abroad, large supplies of Wheat, Oats, and Flour were
received, and chiefly landed in bond. Fresh up, the re-
ceipts of Wheat of home produce were trifling, though of full average
quality. The attendance of buyers, most of whom were unusually
bare of stock, being good, and the stands scantily filled with
samples, the best qualities of Wheat of home produce
commanded a steady sale, at an advance, in the quotations obtained
on this day se'nnight, of Is per quarter, while the value of the mid-
dling and inferior kinds was well supported. At the close of busi-
ness a good clearance was effected. There was a good inquiry for
Foreign Wheat under lock, for shipment to Belgium, at full curren-
cies. Fine qualities were in moderate request, and in some instances
the turn dearer. Barley, the supply of which was small,
moved off freely, and selected parcels were the turn dearer.
Superfine White Malt moved off steadily, though the actual amount
of business passing in It was not large. All other kinds were some-
what neglected. From all quarters very few Oats, if we except the
foreign importations, have Come to hasid. That article was, therefore,
in good request, at an improvement in value of from 6d to Is per
quarter. For Beans there was a firm detnand, at a trifle mere money.
White Peas were selling at Is. per quarter more money, while the
value of other kinds was well supported. There was rather more in-
quiry for Flour, but prices were not higher. The accounts from the
provinces respecti,g the growing Wheats are very favourable, but
Spring Corn stands much in need of nioisture.

BOROUGI AND SPITALFIELDS.
Pot the time of year, the supply of old Potatoes on offer is good,
but of very inferior quality. The business transacted since our last
has been very trifling, and it is with difficulty we can give accurate
quotations. A few lots of York Reds have sold at from 100 s to 140 s;
York Regents, 30s to 60s; and Scotch Reds, 20s to 70s per ton.

BOROUGH 'top 21TATUEEIT.
The accounts which have reached us from the plantations in Kent
and Sussex since our last, being of amore favourable character,the ge-
floral demand here is heavy, and must have a downw,rd tendency. The
duty has advanced to 130,0001. The following quotations are almost
nominal : —Sussex pockets, 51 5s to 61100 ; Weald of Kents, Si 108
to 6/ 15s; Middle and East Kent, 616 s to Si 155.

Since this day se'nnight the imports of foreign stock in the port of
Loudon have consisted of 350 Oxen and Cows, 700 Sheep, 200 Lambs,
good—the demand
and 10 Calves from Rotterdam ; 30 Oxen from Hamburgh ; and 108
Sheep from Flushing. We had on offer about 230 foreign Beasts, 500
ditto of Sheep, 100 ditto of Lambs, and 5 ditto of Calves, for the whole

Fresh up, the arrivals of Beasts from our grazing districts
sea-

se'nnight. Owing to the continued warm weather, on this day

The numbers of Sheep were very large, and of prime qualitj,. Still,
however, the Mutton trade was tolerably Arm at last week's quCf.N.
tions. Lambs, the supply of which was again extensive, moved off
steadily, yet the highest price obtained for the best Down qualities
was only 6s. per 81bs. In Calves and Pigs very little business was
transacted at late rates. We regret to state that 35 Sheep were
killed on the Eastern Counties Railway on Saturday last. The
Sheep in question belonged to Mr. James Syder, of Fakenham, Norfolk.

NEWDATE AND LEADENEIALL.
Since this day se'nnight the arrival of country-killed Meat up to
our markets have been, considering the prevailing warm weather,
good, and of very superior quality. The supplies slaughtered in the
metropolis have been seasonably extensive. Prime Mutton has been
in steady request, at full rates of currency. In all other kinds of
Meat exceedingly little has been doing, and the quotations have hash
a downward tendency. Several carcases of foreign Beasts and Sheep
have appeared on sale.

The Imports of Wool into Loudon during the past week have been
unusually small, yet the supplies on offer are somewhat extensive.
Privately, both foreign and colonial qualities are a dull sale, at barely
stationary prices ; but for English clothing there is rather more de-
mand, at full rates of currency._ _ _ _
