At the outports, about 400 bead of each kind of stock
have been landed from Holland and Germany in good
condition. To day the show of foreign stock, especially
that of Beasts, was good, and of full average quality.
From our own grazkng districts, the arrivals of Beasts,
fresh up this morning, were considerably on the increase,
and at least three-fourths of them were good weighers.
Owing to the prevailing mild weather, the Beef trade
was in a sluggish state, at, in some instances, a decline
in the quotations paid on Monday last of 2d per 3lbs.
Still, however, the primest Scots sold at front 4s 4d to
4s 6d per albs. At the close of business a total clearance
had not been effected. The droves from Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire comprised about
1,300 Scots and short horns, with a few homebreds .
From the northern, western, and midland districts, there
arrived about 1,000 Herefords, runts, Devours, Irish
beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England 350 of various
breeds ; and from Scotland, 220 horned and polled Scots.
Notwithstanding the numbers of Sheep were on the
increase, the Mutton trade was firm, and the late ad-
vance in the currencies was steadily supported. The
primest old Downs in the wool sold at from 5s 6d to
to 5s 8d per Sibs. With Lambs we were tolerably well,
but not to say heavily. supplied. All breeds moved off
readily, at very full prices. From the Isle of Wight we
received 50 head. Calves— the supply of which was
good—moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices.
In Pigs next to nothing was doing, but we have no
change to notice in value.

NSW GATNI AND MILELDENBAZZ.
Very limited supplies of country-killed meat have
arrived up to these markets since Monday last—they
have amounted to only about 90 carcases of Beef, 220
ditto of Mutton, 140 ditto of Lambs, 40 ditto of Veal,
and 130 ditto of Pork. Those on offer slaughtered in
the metropolis have been small, even the time of year
considered ; hence, the general demand has ruled active,
at an advance in the quotations of 2d per Blbs, and at
which good clearances have been effected. From Ham-
burgh five barrels and four baskets of Beef have come
to hand.

Coastwise, the arrivals of potatoes since this day se'n-
night have been seasonably good, and of fair average
quality. By land carriage, they have been but mode-
rate. The imports from abroad have consisted of about
40 tons from Rotterdam, 235 ditto from Antwerp, 437
ditto from Hamburgh, 97 ditto from Ostend, and 110
ditto from Larwen. The trade is decidedly heavy, and
prices are not supported.
BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Next to nothing is doing in this market, and, in some
instances, the quotations are next to nominal. The show
of samples is by no means heavy. Sussex pockets 31 to
31 6s; Woald of Kent ditto, 3l 3s to 31 103; Mid. and
last Kent ditto, 31 5s to 518 s per cwt.
WOOL.
The imports of Wool into London, during last week,
were composed of 20 bales from Trieste ; 50 ditto from
Hamburgh ; 136 ditto from Monte Video ; 28 ditto from
Antwerp ; 27 ditto from Ostend ; and 2,038 ditto from
Port Phillip. The private contract demands still rules
exceedingly heavy, and, to effect large sales of any de-
scription of wool, town prices must be taken.
TALLOW.
Notwithstanding the limited stock, this market ruled
very dull to-day, and prices are from 6d to 9d per cwt.
lower than on Monday last. T.Y.C. on the spot is sel-
ling at 51s per ow t. For forward delivery we have no
sales to report. Town Tallow is 51s net cash. Rough
fat 2s 10d per Sibs.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to day to hear appeals. The Peers
present were the I.ord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord
Campbell, the Earl of Redesdale, and Lord Wrotteslvy.
LAPSLET V. GRIERSON.-JUDGMENT.
Their Lordships gave judgment at considerable length
this morning in this appeal from the judgment of the
Court of Session in Scotland, declaring the appellants
illegitimate. Their Lordships affirmed the judgment of
the Court below with costs. We gave the facts of the
case at length during the arguments, and it is totally
unnecessary to repeat them.
Judgment affirmed with costs.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
PHILLIPS P. CYLARLIES.
Mr. WIIATELY, Q.C., applied for a rule to show cause
why there should not be a new trial in this matter, on
the ground that the damages were excessive. The
action was for a breach of promise of marriage, and was
tried at Gloucester, before Mr. Justice Fathom', at the
last assizes, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff,
damages 1,000/. The plaintiff was a single woman, 42
or 43 years of age, and had kept a spirit shop, but at
the time of the action was a lodging-house-keeper; and
the defendant was an attorney. At a pie•nic party the
defendant it appeared made a promise of marriage in
the presence of the plaintiff's sister, and subsequently
gave the plaintiff 50/. to purchase the wedding dress
and other articles necessary on the interesting occasion,
and, moreover, appointed a day when they should be
joined in the bonds of matrimony at Clifton, Bristol.
Instead, however, of the defendant making his appear-
ance at the church at the appointed time, he was, to the
astonishment of the parties, non est inventus, and on the
following morning a letter was received from him,
stating that he had married an old lady, with
whom it appeared he lodged, and who was 70 years
of age, and was obliged to be carried in a sedan chair to
the church, and could only reach the altar by the aid of
crutches. Evidence was given at the trial that the pro-
perty in possession and reversion of the defendant
amounted to 9,000/. The Learned Counsel made the ap-
plication on the ground that the defendant's property
only amounted in fact to 3,0001., that one or two of the
jury were acquainted with the brother-in-law of the
plaintiff, and also that the plaintiff had not suffered in
character or in a pecuniary sense, by the non-compliance
of the defendant's promise.
The COURT refused to grant a rule, observing that the
conduct of the defendant in not sending word to the
plaintiff before the day on which the marriage was ap-
pointed to take place, that it was not his intention to
fulfil his promise, was most unfeeling, and that the jury
were the proper parties to estimate the amount of da-
mages to which she was entitled.—Rule refused.

EXCHEQUER. _(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Court proceeded this morning with the peremptory
paper.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY

SMITH V. DKARLEATI.

LIMB V. LORD BU/FIELD.
In this case it appeared that Lord Suffield, the de-
fendant, had requested the plaintiff to negociate for
him a loan of 180,0001. upon the security of his Lord-
ship's estates, and had agreed to pay to the plaintiff the
sum of 4,0001., for negotiating that loan. Negotiations
were accordingly opened with the Rock Life Assurance,
but from some cause or other the loan was not accepted.
The plaintiff upon this brought his action to recover the
amount of his commission. The defendant pleaded to
the action. but allowed judgment to go by
default. The present proceedings were adopted
in order to obtain leave to set aside cognovit
and judgment, and that defendant should be at liberty to
plead to the action, and that plaintiff should aaswer
the matter of certain affidavits made in the case.

The ground relied upon by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL,
who appeared for the defendant, was, the statute of the
sth of Anne, which enacted, " that all and every scri-
vener, broker and brokers, solicitor and solicitors,
driver or drivers of bargains, who should receive more
than five shillings as allowance or brokerage for every
1004 they might obtain, should for each offence pay a
penalty of 20/.,and suffer imprisonment for half a year.
The sum claimed by the plaintiff was considerably more
than the sum named in the statute, and any arrangement
to pay such sum was therefore illegal.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on behalf of the defendant,
expressed his willingness to pay the legal sum, and all
expenses attending the proceedings.
The case was ordered to stand over until to-morrow,
i❑ order to afford time for the parties to arrange the
matter.

Mr. BAINES, Q C., applied fur a role nisi in this case,
which was tried before Mr. Baron Alderson at the last
assizes at York, and a verdict found for the plaintiff for
301. The action was in trover to recover the value of a
carriage and some harness, and the question was whether

tiff, who came there in the summer. of last year, occupied
private apartments in a house adi.oining. the hotel, and
had accommodation provided for his carriage and horses
in the defendant's premises. It ;vas. contended at the
trial that as the plaintiff did nut lire in the hotel he was
