Notwithstanding the prevailing warm weather, the arrivals
of country-killed meat up to these markets since Monday
last have been on the increase, and of full average quality.
The supplies of meat slaughtered in the metropolis having
been somewhat extensive, the general demand has been in
a very inactive state, and the quotations have had a down-
ward tendency. About 50 carcases of foreign Beasts, and
100 ditto of Sheep, have appeared on sale.

Notwithstanding the supplies of Potatoes on offer are
small, the demand for all kinds is in a very inactive state.
The following are the prices of the sound qualities, but the
inferior kinds are offering at unusually low figures :—York
Reds. 140 s to 180 s; ditto Regents, 90s to 120 ; Perth Reds,
110 s to 120 s; Montrose Buffs, 90s to 110 s per ton.

The accounts from the plantations not being to say favour-
able, the fly• being still on the increase, the demand here is
firm, and prices are well supported.

WOOL..
The last imports of wool have been again moderately ex-
tensive, viz., 557 bales from Hobart Town, 1,103 do. from
Sydney, 354 do. from Bombay, and 400 do. from various
other quarters. The public sales were brought to a conclu-
sion on Saturday. Although nearly the whole of the parcels
offered have found buyers, prices have receded ld to 3d per lb.
Privately, next to nothing is doing, and the quotations must
be considered almost nominal.

TALLOW%
The market may be considered firm at full prices. Town
Tallow is 40s 6d to 41s net cash.

SPORTING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sits,—ln yesterday's Era appeared a very incorrect state-
ment of the race for the Great Epsom Prophet Stakes, that
paper taking to itself the sole credit of having named the
winner, the real state of affairs was the following :
THE DERBY PROPHET STAKES.
Name. Nomination. Jockey.
The Era. Pyrrhus Shade of Old Buckle 0
The Sun. Pyrrhus Spirit of the Turf 0
Morning Post. Pyrrhus Argus 0
The following started, but were not placed

Sunday Times Do. Miles's Boy 0
The Era Sir Tatton Sykes Riddles Worth 0
The Herald Do. Bunbury 0
Advertiser The Field Observer 0
Daily News Yates 0
Sporting Magazine Sting Criterion 0
A dead heat between the three first! Bell's Life well up.
By the insertion of the above, those persons who pin their
faith on the
,prophets will not be misled by the
bombastic effusions of the Era, whose Jock Riddlesworth
was entirely out of the race, for he places Pyrrhus in the
rear. Last year I stood alone in my glory for I was the
only seer who even hinted at the Merry Monarch's winning ;
this year I named the winner and spoke of Fancy Boy fa-
vourably ; the latter would have been either first or second
had he not met with a mishap previous to starting, and been
thrown out of his stride twice, in fact nearly sent off his legs
at the turn.

Singular to relate not one of the many observations I have
at various times made on the Derby from June last year up
to the day of the race have been in the slightest degree in
correct, a circumstance decidedly unprecedented.
I will now take a cursory glance at the St. Leger and
one or two other stakes, previous to closing my epistle. For
the Leger, the following select circle must be taken care of,
to wit :—lago, Fancy Boy, Grimston, Sting, Pyrrhus, Hum-
drum, Peri colt, Couroush, Woodpecker, Sir T. Sykes, The
Mist, and Brocardo. My reasons I will give at some fu-
ture time.

For the Emperor's Plate, at Ascot, my pick will be Sweet-
meat, Miss Sarah, and the Peri colt.—More about this on
Monday next.
For the Northumberland Plate, at Newcastle, Glossy,
Mentor, and Red Robin look well.

The Manchester Meeting commences on Tuesday with a
Free Handicap, destined for Psalmsinger, Princess Royal
second.

The Manchester Cup to Parthian, Lord Saltoun second.
On Wednesday, the Filly Stakes to Cossack Maid or Fair
Stat.

A Cup of 100 sovs. to Burgundy, Philip, or Lord Harry.
A Handicap Hurdle Stakes to Deuce Ace or Alice.
The Victoria Stakes to Banter filly and Saddleworth, and
the Kersal Stakes to Lord Harry, if he starts, otherwise Ca-
melia.

On Friday the Broughton Stakes to Lord Harry or Fair
Star. I am, Sir, yours, &c.,

THE SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS.—On Saturday night,
at eight o'clock, a numerous meeting of the Broad Silk Loom
Weavers' Union of Spitalfields was held at the Crown and
Anchor, Waterloo-town, Bethnal-green, to take into con-
sideration the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords to
show the weavers to be heard at the bar of the House in
support of their opposition to the proposed reduction of the
duties on foreign wrought silks, as contemplated in the Cus-
toms' Duties Act, Mr. Gurnell, president of the Union, in the
chair, who briefly alluded to the objects that were about to
come before the meeting, and urged the necessity of some
immediate steps being taken. Mr. 'Bradly,moved—" That
we, the members of the Broad Silk Hand-loom Weavers'
Union, do petition the Honourable the House of Lords to
allow counsel to be heard at the bar of their Honourable
House, in defence of the silk question, feeling that the new
tariff will have a ruinous effect on their trade." Mr. Snow
observed that he would second the resolution, as he believed
it was their last resource. The chairman put the resolution,
which was carried unanimously.
AN INGENIOUS TEST.—A few days ago a merchant,
in prosecuting his morning tour in the suburbs of Edin-
burgh, found, as he walked along, a purse containing a con-
siderable sum of money. He observed a lady at a distance,
who he thought would be the owner and loser. Determined
to be correct in the party to whom be delivered it, he fell
upon a strange yet ingenious plan to effect this. He resolved
to act the part of a " poor distressed tradesman," and boldly
went forward, hat in hand, and asked alms. This was an-
swered with a polite "Go away—l have nothing to give
you." The poor man, however, persisted in his entreaties,
would not go until he bad relief for his famishing wife and
children. The lady, from reasons, no doubt, similar to Mrs.
Maclarty's, at last condesceded, but, to her dismay, found
that the werewith was gone. The merchant, now satisfied
that he was correct, with a polite bow returned the purse,
with an advice that in future:she would be more generous to
the distressed and destitute.—Edinburgh papa.

REMARKA
DEATH OF A TIGER.--A magnificent
royal tiger,
ABLE
forming part of a travelling menagerie at the
fair of Metz, has recently met with its death in a very cu.
r s way. In consequence of the blows of a whip or stick
receivedii n its youth, it had near the jaw two wens of some
size, which no one had ever thought of removing, till a vete-
rinary surgeon of Metz proposedactooeppteerfdorhmy
tthheis
ppreorpilroiue_s
operation. The offer having been
to of the menagerie, the tiger was securely fastened down•
with chains and ropes. The poor animal submitted to this
unaccustomed manoeuvre with much quietness; but on the
operator entering the cage with his knife, and attempting
to perform the operation, the tiger was seized with such ex-
treme rage, that being unable to burst his bonds, congestion
of the brain ensued, and he expired in a few seconds. The
town has purchased his remains for its cabinet of natural
history.
THE ELECTRIC TELECRAPIL—The division in the
House of Lords on Thursday night was received here yester-
day morning (Friday) about nine o'clock, the news having
been conveyed a considerable part of the way (reaching to
the Midland static.n at Normanton) by the electric tele-
graph. .When the telegrah is complted betv% een Leds
and London, which we understand will be in the course ot
the summer, information may be conveyed from either ex-
tremity to the other in the course of about seven minutes.--
