SMITHFIELD.
The supply cf Beasts being somewhat extensive, and the
attendance of buyers rather limited, the Beef trade was in a
very sluggish state, at an advance in the quotatiors of 2d per
81ba. There were on offer 70 Beasts and 200 Sheep from
Holland. For Sheep we bad a steady inquiry, and Monday's
prices were well supported. The number of Calves was small;
ret the Veal trade was inactive, at unaltered currencies.
Prime small Pigs sold firmly, other qualities slowly, at pre-
vious rates. Mulch Cows moved off slowly, at from 161. to
191. each, including their small Calf.

BOROUGH HOP IVIARICEII.
With the exception of the best Kent Hops in pockets sel-
ling steadily, at very full prices, the Hop trade is inactive, at
late rates. The supply of most descriptions on offer is by no
means large.

COL.
StIGAR.—The market, owingONIAL
to the holidays, has pre-
sented no feature, the public sales being suspended, but since
stocks are getting low, the inquiry privately is already ma-
nifesting itself, and a good business at remunerating prices
is likely now to be transacted. •
COFFEE —The market for this article has been firm,
though no general business has been done. Jamaica ord
and triage is 28s to 458, good to tine ord 47s to 645, mid 75s
to 86s, and fine 100 s to 125 s per cwt. Berbice and Demerara
ord and triage have been 30s to 40s; fine mid, 68s to 80s.
Ceylon ord to good ord is 48s to 48s 6d; and Plantation,
52s to 82s; Mocha, 51s to 70s; Java, 35s to 595; Havannah,
32s to 50s; and Brazil, 30s to 35s per cwt.
CorroN.—This article has been steady.
TALLow.—P.Y.C. is firm at 42s 3d per cwt. on the spot.
Burr.—There is no particular change.
TEA.—The demand has improved, but former prices are
current. The total amount of duties paid at London, Liver-
pool, Bristol, and Hull, in 1845, was about 31,000,0001bs.;
say 1,000,0001b5. more than in 1844.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.) •
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE HODGKINSON.
'This bankrupt, who had carried on business as a slater
in Western•street, Pentonville, came up for his certificate,
and was opposed on behalf of the assignees, on the
ground that he had fraudulently made away with the
whole of his property to one creditor. His debts were
nearly 2,0001.
The Solicitor to the assignees asked for an adjourn-
ment, until an action against the party to whom the
property was made over had been tried.
For tho bankrupt it was urgt d that it would be much
more beneficial to the creditors if the certificate wa,
graottd, us then the bankrupt would be a competent
witness. •
The Learned COMMISSIONER ,ai.l, that if an adjourn-
ment took place, the assignees mutt pay the costs.
The Solicitor said the bankrupt came up of his own
accord, and as his conduct had been anything but satis-
factory, it was hard to make the creditors bear the
expense.
The Learned COMMISSI9NER said, that although the
bankrupt came up of hi. own accord, the opposite party
were bound to be prepared. A bankrupt ought nut to
be put to expense in such a case. The opposition was
withdrawn.

SECONDARIES.—cr His D A Ir.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAmcs.)
BISGOOD V. DEMPSEY.
This was an action brought on a bill of exchange, of
which the defendant was the acceptor. The defendant
di4 not deny his acceptance, but pleaded that the bill
had not been endorsed by the drawer.
The Rev. Benjamin Pratt, of St. Giles's Chapel, St.
Pancras, was called, and proved that he knew Mr.
Murphy, the drawer of the bill, and received it from hint
duly endorsed. He knew Murphy's hand-writing, arid
had seen him sign other bills.
Verdict for the plaintiff.
This was the only defended case. Great inconvenience
arose in consequence of the parties in other causes not
being present, and the cases were struck out of the list
and the jury discharged.
The SECONDARY observed, that in writs of inquiry,
the notice was, that they were to be executed between
eleven and of e ; the jury, however, would not be de-
tained, but if necessary, a jury of gentlemen in the
neighbourhood should be called together.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
A decen looking young man, named George Senan,
was charge] with stealing a shawl, the property of a
poor Irish woman named Machale, residing in John-
street, Clorkenwell.

The woman deposed, that a few days ago the prisoner
ca►ue into her house on pretence of taking a lodging.
Having given her a deposit of a sovereign, he offered to
give a leference, and when she went for the pen and ink
the prisoner walked off with the shawl. On his departure
the pour woman discovered that the sovereign w,,s bad.
Mr. Mosely, a merchant, residing in Hatton• garden,
gave evidence as to the gcod character of the prisoner,
and said be felt confident tnat the prosecutrix was rnii-
taken.

The case was remanded, but bail to the amount of 20/.
was received for the prisoner's appeara-ce at this Cuurt
on a future day.

CusTom-HousE.—lt will be gratifying to the
friends of Mr. J. Rolls to learn that that gentleman has, by
an orthr from the Lords of the Treasury, been restored to his
former aituation of landing waiter in her Majesty's Customs,
and that all arrears of salary, amounting to nearly 1,000/.,
are to be paid to him, and that he is to be promoted on the
first vacancy.

FIRES NEAR SEVENOARS.— On Sunday and Mon•
day nights last, two fires were discovered in this neighbour-
hood. The first/ at Mr. Wilmot's paper-mills, ht which
about 3001. worth of paper was consumed. The fire, it is
alleged, proceeded from a flue. It was extinguished, with
some difficulty, without further damage. The second con-
flagration was at Quaker's Hall, in the occupation of Mr.
Morphine, by which two kilns, a bpaortna,tosetsa,bl3oe,olobdtieseilealbsouotf
implements, were con-

Bunted, none of which were insured. It does not appear how
the latter fire originated.
The Ito,. Frail Ifewt,on, incumbent of Southall,
Middlesex, has been presented by the 11ev. Frederick Brown
to the living of Christ. Church, Milsea, Somerset.
WAGGON ACCIDENT.— On hut sday morning, be-
tween five and six o'clock, a serious accident occurred to
John Harter, waggoner to Mr. Purkiss, of Bermondsey, who
was coining vitt! a load of malt from Kingston, when, in
crossing thapham.common, it is conjectured that, falling
asleep as he was riding on the shafts, he must have tumbled
under the wheels, which passed over his legs and abdomen.
Some butchers, coming to market in a cart, picked the poor
fellow up, he not having been missed by his soo, who was
driving, and they conveyed him to the hospital. Both of
his legs were fractured, and very slight hopes are given of his
recovery.
DARING BURGLARIFS.—On Diur,day informatio,,
was forwarded to the pc rice of the fol'owing daring burgla-
ries:—At the dwelling-house i,f the distillery, Albany street,
Regent's-park. The thieves effected an entrance, it is sup-
posed, at about tw lye o'cl.ick at night, and succeeded in
earn ing off a valuable gold repeating musical watch, a
massive gold chain, several silver mugs, twelve silver gravy
spoon:, eighteen silver table spoons, twelve silver dessert
spoons, twelve silver tea spoons, six s lver egg spoons, eight

OMNIBUS ACCIDENT IN THE STRAND: Yesterday
evening, as the Greenwich and Blackheath omnibus, O.
932, was passing the corner of Well
ington-street North, in
the Strand, the axletree broke in the centre, and the con-

SUSSEX LAW.--A labourer, named James Bishop,
was charged before the Lewes bench of magistrates on the
21st ult. with being on the Downs for the purpose of taking
game (rabbits) It did not appear whether the defendant

any game.

served that it was a " serious offence to which defendant bad
pleaded guilty," and he was sentenced to ten days' hard
labour, and at the end of that term to find securities to keep
