At the northern outports, about 1,200 head of
each kind of stock have been landed from Hol-
land and Germany, in fair average condition.
The supply of foreign stock on sale to-day, Sheep and
eslves in particular, was somewhat extensive, but its
•g'•.neral quality was inferior. The primest Sheep and
Calves moved off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise the
demand was in a sluggish state. There was a decided
increase in the numbers of English-fed Beasts on offer,
at least a moiety of which was, however, beneath the
'middle quality. As the attendance of both town and
country buyers was somewhat numerous, the very
primest Scots were in fair, though not to say brisk in-
quiry, at, in most instances, Friday's advance in the
quotations of 2d per 81b. All other breeds moved
off slowly, and that day's currencies were with
difficulty supported. At the close of the market a
total clearance of the Beasts was not effected.
:From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received about 1,000 Scots, Short-horns, &e. ; from the
Northern counties, 400 Short-horns ; from the Western
.and Midland districts, 1,000 Herefords, Bunts, Devons,
Irish beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 of
various breeds ; and from Scotland, 300 horned and
polled Scots, 74 coming to hand per railway, the re-
mainder by steamers. Even the time of year considered,
the supply of Sheep was good, both as to number and
quality. For all breeds, but more particularly for the
best old Downs, the sale was steady, at prices fully
*goal to those paid on this day se'nnight. The highest
figure for Mutton was ss. per 81bs. The sale for Lambs
Was in a sluggish state, and the top price did not reach
Ss 6d per Sibs. We were very heavily supplied with
Calves, yet a full average business was transacted in
that description of stock, at cur quotations. Pigs, the
supply of which was moderately good, moved off slowly,
but we have no alteration to notice in value.

Since our last report these markets have been but
!moderately supplied with each kind of meat slaughtered
in the metropolis and iii the provinces, but its general
quality has proved extremely good. Prime Beef and
Veal have commanded a ready sale at an advance in the
quotations of 2d per 81bs. In other kinds of meat a
full average amount of business has been transacted,
and late rates have been well supported. The supply
of foreign meat has not exceeded SOO carcases, and
which have been mostly sold at low figures.

BOROUGH AND sprralanExans.
Although the supplies of Potatoes are very large, the
demand is somewhat active, at prices varying from
3115 s to 5/ 5s per ton. The imports in the past week
consisted of about 400 tons, mostly from Holland.

nonouGli HOP MARKET.
Next to nothing is doing in this market, and to effect
sales lower rates must be submitted to. The supply of
Hops on offer is by no means heavy. The duty is
called from 205,0001 to 220,0001. Sussex Pockets, 214 s

WOOL.
The imports of Wool since Monday last have been
confined to 1,100 bales from Sydney, and 100 ditto from
ll.amburgh. In the private contract market rather
more business is doing, and late rates are well supported
in most transactions. The supply of Wool on offer is
large.

TALLOW.
Although the delivery is good, the trade must be con-
sidered heavy, owing chiefly to the large shipments from
St. Petersbttrgh, and prices have receded 3d to 6d per
cwt. P. Y. C., on the spot is quoted at 43s 3d to 43s 6d
per cwt. For forward delivery very little is doing.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat this morning to hear appeals. The
Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham,
:Lord Campbell, and the Bishop of Hereford.
THE PRINCIPAL OF GLASGOW COLLEGE V. THE ATTORNEY-

GENERAL.
The arguments in this appeal which was commenced
on Thursday last were resumed to day. The case came
before their Lordships upon an appeal from the decision
'of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The question
-raised by the appeal was, whether a charity founded by
the will of John Snell, in the reign of King Charles the
IL, ought now to be made more effectually conducive to
the supply of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Scot-
land with clergymen born in Scotland, and educated
partly at Glasgow College, and partly at Oxford, accord-
ing to the view of the founder's intention, taken by the
information and the decree. John Snell, who was a
native of Scotland, but who settled at Uffeton, ill the
county of Warwick, by his will, bearing date the 29th
day of December, 1677, and republished on the 6th of
August, 1679, gave the manor and lands of -04feton, and
all his freehold, and leasehold, and T.i,ersonal estates,
subject to certain charges, to his executors, upon
trust, which he proceeded to declare in the following
words :—" Upon trust that the profits and product
thereof may be employed and disposed of for the
anintenance and education, in some college or
ball of the University of Oxford, to be ap-
pointed by the Vice-Chancellor, Provost, Master,
and President, for the tame being, or any three of
them, in such proportions and with such allowances, and
in such manner as they, or any three of them, shall think
fit, such and so mr.ay scholars born and educated in
Scotland, who shall each of them have spent three years
in the College of Glasgow in that kingdom. And my
further will and mind is, that every such scholar and
scholars upon each of their admission to such college or
ball as aforesaid, shall be bound and obliged by such se-
curity as the said Vice Chancellor, Provost, Master, or
President, for the time being, or any three of them,
?shall think fit, to some person or persons to be by them,
or any three of them, hereunto appointed, that the said
Scholar or scholars shall respectively forfeit and pay to
that college or hail, whereof or wherein be or they shall
be respectively 'Admitted, the sum of 5001. a piece of
`lawful money of England, if he shall not enter into holy
orders, and if he or they shall at any time after such his
or their entering and admission take or accept of any
spiritual promotion, benefice, or other preferment what-
soever within the kingdom of England or dominion of
Wales, it being my will and desire that every such scho-
lar so to be admitted shall return into Scotland, and
there be preferred and advanced as his or their capacity
and parts shall deserve, but iu no case to come back into
Ingland, nor to go into any other place, but only into the
kingdom of Scotland for his or their preferment.'
The testator died in 1679, and on the 13th of Septetn-
her, 1679, his will was proved in tho Prerogative Court
of Canterbury. Nothing appears to be known about the
personal history of the testator, except that he was
educated in Glusgow College, under the tuition of Sir
James Dalrymple, afterwards Viscount Stair; and that,
in 1661, he presented to the library of Glasgow College,
a Copy of .. Walton's Polyglot Bible," and accompanied
Lis present with a complimentary letter to Dr. Baillie,
the then principal of the college. At the date of the
I'4ll, and from that time till several years after the death
of the testator, the Protestant Episcopal Church, with
tuts rainietry of bishops, priests, and dea::ons, canonically
eon.,ecrated and ordained after the model of the Church
of England, was established by law in Scotland, and the
two Established Churches of England and Scotland were
then in full communion with each other, and were agreed
all important points ofdoctriue and discipline. After
the Reformation the Presbyterian Church was established

and white, the demands for all kinds of English
Wheat was brisk, at an advance in the quotations of
Monday last of from 2s to 3s per quarter, and at which
a good clearance was effected prior to the close of busi-
ness. This improvement in value was the result of Ihe
prevailing changeable weather, and the numerous un-
favcurible accounts which have come to hand this morn-
ing respecting the potato disease. With Foreign Wheat,
we w are tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied.
Rea'Ay fine qualities were in good request, and 3s per
Ilie'arter dearer than last week. In the middling and
riferior kinds' rather an extensive business was trans -
'acted, chiefly for inland consumption, at a rise of 2s per
quarter. Bonded Wheats were held at a similar rise.
There was a large supply of Foreign Barley on the
!market ; nevertheless the Barley trade was steady, and
last week's prices were fairly supported. No English
Barley on offer. The market was very scantily supplied
with Malt. Fine Chevalier parcels produced full curren-
cies ; but all other kinds of Malt were neglected, with-
out being considered cheaper. The supply of Oats ex-
ceeding the wants of the dealers, the trade was in a
:sluggish state. Fine dry corn produced full prices, but
-the out-of-condition sorts were somewhat easier
to purchase. In Beans, very few sales took
place. Prices, however, ruled about stationary.
There was a better sale for Peas, both English and Fo-
reign, at a rise in value of from 2s to 3s per quarter.
Indian Corn, both on the spot and for arrival, was held
sit 3a per quarter more money; Indian Meal, 6d per
barrel dearer. The Flour trade was firm, at extreme
quotations.
