At the northern ontports nearly 1,200 head of at oak
have been landed from Holland, and 120 oxen have !Dee*
received at Southampton from Spain. Several stew mere
having arrived from Holland laden with stock since Sa-
turday, the supply of Beasts on sale this morning i!eorn
abroad vt as very extensive, but of middling qui dity.
Sheep and Calves, the numbers of which wore la urge,
were in full average condition. For all breeds the de-
mand was heavy in the extreme, and though the isn•
porterA t=ubtnitted to considerably lower rates. nearly
one-third left the market unsold. As a large portion of
the general supply exhibited on Friday last, viz., ZOO
Beasts, 4,000 Sheep, and 200 Calves, was not disps 'zed
of, there 1, as a decided increase in it this morning; that
of Beasts was nearly 5,000 head, and there was a g rest
improvem, nt in their quality. The attendance of both
town and country buyeri was good; nevertheless, ass the
weather vv,s unfavourable for slaughtering, and the sup-
ply was greater than the butchers could take oft; the
Beef trade was excessively heavy, at a decline in the
pr ices paid on Monday last of quite 2d, in some insta ncea
4d, per 81bs. The highest general top price for Beef 'was
3i 10, but a few very superior Scots produced 4s per las.
Nearly 900 Beasts were turned out unsold. From Lin-
colnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, w.s re-
oeived about 1,900 short-horns ; from the eas tern,
western, and midland counties, 1,200 Herefords, r ants,
D6vons, Irish beasts, short-horns, &e.; from other parts
of England, 400 of various breeds. The remainder of
the bullock supply was derived from abroad and the
neighbourhood of the metropolis. There was a consi-
derable increase in the supply of Sheep, owing to 'Hai& the Mutton trade was extremely dull. All breeds were
s,lling at 2,1 per 81bs less money than that paid on
Monday last, cr at Friday's reduction in value. The
highest figure for the few old Downs on offer was 4 a 10d
per 81bs. We were heavily supplied with foreign Calves,
but the number of those home fed was small. The Veal
trade was unusually dull, at 4d per Sibs less money.. The
highest quotation was 45 per 81bs. In Pigs next to
nothing was doing, and prices were 2d per Sibs lower
than last week.

ATE WVATII AND LZ.A.DENELILLL.
A very extensive supply 'of country-killed meat has
been received up to these markets since Monday last.
it having amounts d to nearly 800 carcases of Beef, 1,500
ditto of Mutton, 900 ditto of Veal, and 1,800 ditto of
Pork. The supplies on offer slaughtered in the metro-
polls have been large; owing to which, and the prevail-
ing damp weather, the general demand has ruled ex-
cessively heavy, at a decline in prices of from 2d to, in
some instances, 41 per Sibs. Great difficulty has been
experienced, on the part of the salesmen, in effecting a
clearance. About 700 carcases of foreign meat kayo
appeared on sale.

BOZZOTIGIX HOP MARICET.
Our market rules firm for the best New Hops, in
pockets, at fully last week's quotations. In the middling
and inferior kinds, as well as yearling and Old Hops,
comparatively little business has been transacted. The
duty upon a few unimportant districts has been declared
at 9,5171 16s 61d. That for the whole country
is still called 205,0001 to 210,000/. New Hops_
Sussex pockets, 44s to 60s ; Weald of Kent ditto,
48s to 70s; Mid and East Kent ditto, 56s to 107 s;
Farnhams, 107 s to 112 s per cwt.

OL.
The imports of Wool'W intoO London, last week, con-
sisted of only 150 bales from Hamburgh t 73 ditto from
the Cape ; 49 ditto from Rotterdam ; and 8 ditto from
Oporto. The demand in the private contract market is
tolerably steady, but owing to the large parcels of
Colonial Wool we have not the slightest improvement
to notice in prices.

TALLO
On tho wh(lo our market must .be considered firm, at
fully the late depression in the quotations. The imports
last week were only 641 casks, but there are upwards of
10,000 casks now on their way from St. Petersburgit.
The stock is one of the largest on record, yet the im-
porters are by no means anxious sellers at present
prices. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted at 443 9d to 45s
per cwt. Steady sales have been done for all the year
at 448 3d to 44s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow, 45s per cwt
net cash; Rough Fat, 2s 7d per Sibs.

Windsor Castle. The Cabinet Ministers, and the great

ance of the Privy Councillors from the metropolis. Se-
veral of the Ministers have, however, taken their depar-
ture from town, and have returned to their country seats,
after attending the Cabinet Councils held last week.

mansion in Whitehall.
