MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

James Bow, a cutler, was charged with committing
an assault on Mr. Clough, a licensed victualler, living
in Oxford-street, at the corner of Dean-street.
Mr. Clough was not in attendance: a surgeon's certifi-
cate was produced, stating that he was confined to bed
in consequence of the assault, and was unable to be
present.
John Wells said he was just leaving the bar of Mr.
Clough's house with a friend, on Saturday evening, and
his friend chanced to strike against the defendant's toe,
who was sitting in front of the bar. On that he rose
and wished to fight him; but Mr. Clough, who said
he would not allow it in his house, was_ in the act of
pushing the defendant out, when the latter turned
round and kicked the landlord, who fell into the wit-
ness's arms.
The defendant was ordered to find two sureties of 10/.
each, to appear to answer the charge on Saturday next.
James Bruce was charged with obtaining watches and
jewellery to a large amount, under false preteaees.
Christian Gottlieb Fred. Allading said he is a
watchmaker, in the employment of Mr. De Lolme,
48, Rathbone-place, and was at work in the shop on the
16th of September last, when the defendant came in
about mid-day, and represented himself to Mr. De Lolme
as from the firm of Bruce, in Jermyn-street, St. James's.
The defendant wished to have two watches on appro-
bation, which he meant to sell, and said he would re-
turn with the money on the following day. The watches
were given him, and an account. He came again on the
18th inst., when Mr. De Lolme was at dinner, and wished
to have three more. This witness showed him some
watches, and he selected three, which were given him
with the approbation of Mr. De Lolme, who was sent
for on purpose. Mr. De Lolme after this, when the
prisoner did nut return, sent dow n to Mr. Bruce's, and
found that the prisoner had not been authorised to get
the watches. It was said they knew nothing about it.
Mr. Bruce's agent was present to watch the case, and
asked the witness whether the defendant did not repre-
sent himself, the first day, as having been in business in
Cranbourne-street ? Witness—l believe he did.

Agent—Did be say he was from the firm of Bruce the
first day he came ?—I am not sure, but he made that
representation to me the second day, and I made out the
account so.

William Bruce, being sworn, said he managed the
business for his mother, who is a jeweller, in Jermyn-
street, St. James's. The prisoner at the bar was his
brother, and at one time assisted him in the shop. The
business in Cranbourne-street was not the prisoner's, but
his father's, and he assisted there. lie said his brother

had no authority to get the watches from Mr. De Lolme.
This closed the evidence which was offered to-day on
that case, and the prisoner was remanded until Saturday.
There are several other charges of a similar character
against him.
Frederick Caudle, a young man, well dressed, de-
scribed in the charge sheet as a medical student, with-
out a home, was placed at the bar on his own charge.
Police-constable C 152 said he was yesterday in
Oxford-street, about two o'clock, and the defendant came
up and gave himself in charge for having stolen a 101.
Bank of England note from his uncle, Robert Caudle,
13, Gloucester-place, Brighton. He said he had taken
it about five weeks ago.
Mr. HARDWICH—Is that true? Defendant—Yes.

Mr. HARDWICK remanded the defendant till Friday,
n order that they might communicate with his uncle.

ALLEGED DEATH OF A GEN-
TLEMAN FROM QUACK MEDICINES.
On Saturday an adjourned inquest was held at the
Swan Inn, Peckham New Town, before Mr. Carter, on
the body of Mr. William Dunham, aged 57, of 1, Alpha-
street, Park-road, Peckham, who, it was alleged, had
died from the effects of quack medicines.
It appeared that the deceased had been attended by a
surgeon of the name of Morris, who reluctantly gave it
as his opinion that he would not survive the winter, in
consequence of the disease under which he laboured.
Dissatisfied with this opinion, the deceased called in a
person connected with the firm of Jordan and Co., and
took two bottles of medicine and a box of pills, for which
he paid 20s. On Sunday last, whilst sitting in the
drawing-room, he fell down on the carpet, and when Mr.
Morris reached the house he was quite dead.
Mr. Morris, who was assisted by Mr. Lawrence, the
eminent surgeon, deposed to having made a post-mortem
examination of the body, and stated death to have
arisen from a diseased liver and kidneys. He also
stated that he had examined the medicines, one of which
contained opium; and he further said that if the deceased
had been suffering from apoplexy, opium would stop the
natural secretions of the body and cause death.
It was here mentioned by a person in the inquest-
room, that the man who supplied the medicines repre-
sented the firm of Jordan and Co., Russell-street,
Bloomsbury-square, and although Mr. Morris, the sur-
geon, had stated that the deceased could not survive the
winter, the man promised to cure him in a fortnight.
The person alluded to carried his medicines, &c., in a
blue bag, and went from house to house, promising to
cure every complaint and disease in a few days. He
had obtained a sovereign from a person living in
the next house to the deceased. The following is a
small portion, copied from one of the handbills issued by
them :

" Important to the Afflicted, free of any charge.—
Jordan and Co., Professors of Medical Botany, Russell-
street, Bloomsbury-square.—Notice.—lt has been inti-
mated to Messrs. Jordan and Co., since their return
from the continent, that in consequence of certain illi-
terate quacks, they have deemed it necessary to acquaint
them of their miraculous cures, &c. And beg to add
that we are not connected with any other professors,
being sole proprietors of the herbal prescriptions." [Then
follow on the names of twenty persons who have been
cured by its wonderful properties.]
The CORONER then summed up the evidence, apd re-
marked that the investigation had clearly shown that
the deceased had died from general bodily disease, arising
from natural causes.

The jury then returned a verdict of Natural Death.

THE DAGENHAM MURDER.

DEATH OF MRS. PARSONS, THE WIFE OF SERGEANT
PARSONS, FROM GRIEF AND FRIGHT.—There was a re-
port on Saturday that the constables who perjured them-
selves before the coroner, as well as Sergeant Parsons,
would be charged with the crime before the magistrates,
and in consequence the Court was crowded, but the re-
port turned out to be untrue. In the course of the
morning, however, it was stated to the bench that the
wife of Parsons had died under circumstances of a melan-
choly character, which appeared to excite the curiosity
of those present. It will be remembered that when the
constables gave their " second evidence" to the coroner,
contradicting all their previous testimony with respect to
the sergeant being on duty on the night of the murder,
the 29th of June, they all appeared stripped of their
uniform, sand attended by:other police-constables, who
were directed not to lose sight of them. The sergeant,
although he had not diverged from his previous testi-
mony, uas among them and under strict surveillance.
This was on August 20, and at the time Mrs. Parsons
had been recently confined. What orders were given
with respect to her and her husband are not known, but
at tie inquest, on Tuesday last, Mr. Rawlings, the soli-
citor, who attended for Sergeant Parsons, said he had a
complaint to make against Mr. Superintendent Pearce of
harsh conduct towards Mrs. Parsons, who, at the time, was
in a delicate state of health, and who at the present time
was in an exceedingly dangerous state, arising as he had
been instructed, from the treatment she had received
from the superintendent. Seeing Mr. Pearce present,
he had, on behalf of the friends, made the complaint, in
order that he should be in a condition to give a denial to
it if it was untrue. He (Mr. Rawlings) understood that
Mr. Pearce's conduct was such towards Mrs. Parsons
that Mr. Superintendent Marquard was compelled to
remonstrate with him.

Mr. Marquard said he wished to state that such was
not the fact: he had no occasion whatever to remonstrate
with Mr. Pearce, who did his arduous duty in a most
proper and humane manner.
The CORONER said, from what he had seen of Mr.
Pearce, he felt satisfied that he was incapable of acting
in :a harsh manner towards any female, especially to
Mrs. Parsons, who was placed in her present situation
by the misconduct of her husband.
Mr. Superintendent Pearce said he could assure the
coroner that he pitied the situation in which Mrs. Par-
sons was placed, and instead of acting harshly towards
her, he had treated her with the greatest kindness con-
sistent with the duty he had to perform, which was one
of great importance and responsibility.
Mr. Rawlings was perfectly satisfied with Mr. Pearce
that he had not acted harshly towards Mrs. Parsons, but
as Mr. Rawlings, her father, was now present, perhaps
Mr. Pearce would satisfy him.
Mr. Rawlins (the father) said that his child was then
in a most dangerous state, suffering from nervous fever,
which she said had been caused by Mr. Pearce's treat-
ment of her, he having ordered the police to watch her,
and not let her escape. This was what his daughter
stated ; and if anything serious happened to her, he
should insist on having: a coroner's inquest on her, the
surgeon who attended her saying that fright, so soon
after her confinement (only five weeks), had caused her
illness.

Mr. Pearce said he had never ordered any of the police
to watch her, but had told the man to attend to any
communication that might pass, between her and her
husband. He felt deeply for her situation, but had done
no more than his duty.
Mr. Rawlins, who is the keeper of a beer shop at
Barking Side, appeared satisfied with Mr. Pearce's ex-
planation.
This was the conversation before the Coroner, and we
must now go back to the time of Mrs. Parsons leaving
her husband's abode, and taking refuge with her father.
This was shortly after the strict surveillance commenced,
when Parsons could not move without a constable being
in attendance upon him, and it began to make such a
visible effect upon Mrs. Parsons that it was thought ad-
visable to remove her to her father's house at Barking
Side. The fright and grief at her husband's situation
had, however, tsken so deep an effect upon her system,
that, despite the active attendance of a medical gentle-
man, death terminated her mental and bodily sufferings
late on Thursday night.
With regard to the constables who committed such
wholesale perjury, the almost universal cry is, " What
is to be done with them ?" but no one knows. An in-
dictment for perjury against them, it is stated by several
lawyers, will not stand, and therefore the only punish-
ment will be dismissal from the force. In justice to
Sergeant Parsons, it may be stated that it has been
satisfactorily proved to the police authorities, although
for some reason withheld from the coroner's jury, that
Parsons was doing his duty properly from half-past ten
o'clock till twelve on the night of the murder.
The constables are still under surveillance.

In addition to the above, a -correspondent states, we
know not how truly, that there has been a meeting of
the several heads of divisions of police at Scotland-yard,
for the purpose of devising the best means of discovering
the murderer or murderers of the unfortunate man
Clarke. Tho result of that meeting is the proposition of
enlarging the amount of reward for the discoverer of
the murderer from 1001. to 500/. ; and 21% the police feel
that a certain odium has been cast upon the force gene-
rally by the non-discovery of the murderer, they pro-
pose to raise by voluntary subscriptions amongst them-
selves the other 4001., in order that the perpetrator may
be brought to justice. The scale of subscriptions from
constables, inspectors, &c., will be settled by the heads
of divisions, when it will be left to the men's discretion
to subscribe to it.

BROADLANDS.—Viscount and Viscountess Palmer-
ston arrived at their seat near Romney, Ilants, from visit-
ing her Majesty, at Windsor Castle, on Saturday last.
Lord and Lady Ashley were to arrive on a visit to the
Noble Viscount and Viscountess on Saturday from Ryde,
Isle of Wight. _ _

There have never been but three Lord Chan-
cellors of Ireland who were natives of that country.
The first was the celebrated Fitzgibbon, the first Earl
of Clare ; the second the equally celebrated and still
living Lord Plunkett ; and the present Chancellor, Mr.
Maziere Brady.
RE-PAVING CHEAPSIDE WITHOUT A STOPPAGE...—.
On Saturday orders were issued from the office of the
Commissioners of Sewers for the re-paving of Cheapside
with stone instead of wood. This order was given in
consequence of the commissioners believing the wood
pavement would not stand throughout the winter, from
the fact of a portion of it having floated during the
storm of the Ist of August. To prevent interruption to
business, the contractor will finish one side of the street
before he commences work on the other, so that vehicles
will be able to pass along one side of the street in the
same manner as usual. It is calculated that the re-paving
will occupy five weeks.
FALL OF A HOUSE IN THE OLD JEWRY.--On
Saturday morning, between the hours of four and five
o'clock, the inhabitants of the Old Jewry and imme-
diate vicinity were alarmed by a tremendous crash re-
sembling the discharge of several pieces of ordnance,
and which s% as ,ascertained to have been occasioned by
the fall of a party wall and part of a large five-story
house, let out in offices, and situate at the corner of the
Old Jewry and Gresham-street. The only occupants
were the housekeeper, an elderly woman, and her
daughter, who fortunately escaped in their night-clothes
and without injury. The cause of the building falling
was the removal of an adjoining house in the Old Jewry,
lately the, office of the Bank architect. Every pre-
caution has been adopted by the police to prevent
danger during the necessary preparations for removing
the remainder of the building,

THE HOUNSLOW MILITARY
TRAGEDY.

The worst fears for the fate of the witnesses examined
at the inquest held upon poor White, late private of the
7th Hussars, are, we regret, likely to be realised. We
understand one witness, who, in consequence of his
superior attainments and conduct, had been elected pre-
sident of his room, and whose advice was followed and
example imitated by his comrades, was, after giving his
evidence, removed from the room and placed in another,
over which a corporal swayed authority. Another,
who is most respectably connected, and whose conduct
as a soldier is beyond even the breath of censure,
having, after he gave his evidence like a soldier and a
man of honour, interested himself in raising a subscrip-
tion towards the erection of a monument to White's
memory, was ordered to attend the colonel's quarters.
He did so, when the following dialogue ensued:—
Colonel—l understand that the men are raising a sub-
scription to build a monument to White. Is such the fact?
Soldier—Yes, sir.

Colonel—l am also informed that you are making
yourself conspicuous in collecting that fund. Is that so?
Soldier—Yes, sir.
Colonel—Are you aware that by so doing you are
guilty of a breach of discipline, and expose yourself to
punishment? Soldier—No, indeed, sir, I am not; and
this is the first time that I have been told so.
Colonel—You do put yourself in that position by such
conduct? Soldier—l hope not, sir; indeed, I can scarcely
believe it, for I cannot conceive what crime there is in
raising a monument to a deceased comrade.
Colonel—Well, well, you will see it. You may retire.
The soldier accordingly obeyed the mandate to retire,
as he did the order to attend, but the interview with his
colonel neither lessened his zeal in collecting subscrip-
tions towards the monument, nor their amount. The
one continued as fervent as ever, and the other con-
tinued to be raised without the slightest diminution.
Poor " holloa " Mathewson, whose back was torn to
pieces by the sanguinary lash because, without know-
ing whom he was addressing at the time, for he did not
see him, he cried out " holloa " to a question from
the sergeant, appears to be an unfortunate man. He is
now a prisoner in Hounslow barracks awaiting his trial
by court-martial. It appears that last Sunday he was on
duty at Hampton Court, when his mother, accompanied
by his brother-in-law—just discharged from a Lancer
regiment, and whom he had not seen for nine years—
visited him. He asked his sergeant, who was corporal
over him when he was a prisoner, previous to his late
punishment at the ladder, to allow another soldier who
had agreed so to do to mount guard for him, as he wished
to spend a few hours with his family. This favour the
sergeant peremptorily refused, although he had allowed
a similar and a greater liberty to another soldier. After
that the sergeant followed him to " Trophy-gate," where
he mounted guard, and where, according to his (the ser-
geant's) statement, he abused and threatened him. The
sergeant accordingly reported Mathewson, and put him
under arrest. The colonel, upon the sergeant's report,
ordered a district court-martial to be held upon Mathew-
son for the undermentioned charges, as contained in a
copy handed him, and of which the subjoined is also a
copy : •
" Charges preferred against Private Thomas Mathew-

son, No. 995, 7th Hussars.
"For insubordination on or about the 20th of Sep,
tember, 1847, when on sentry at the Cavalry barracks,
Hampton Court, in using threatening, disgusting, and
abusive language to Sergeant Major Robert O'Donnell,
of the 7th Hussars, his superior officer, by saying, ' you
-, I will break both your - heads, or words to
that effect. Former convictions will be brought in
evidence upon trial.
" SERGEANT LAURENCE, 7th Hussars.
"Head-quarters, Hounslow, 25th September, 1846,"
Such is Sergeant O'Donnell's charge, the truth of
which Mathewson denies.

The court-martial was not held yesterday, but it will
take place on Tuesday, and that, too, under the officers
of the 12th Lancers, who have relieved the 7th Hussars.
This is so much in favour of the prisoner, for both
General Comyns, the colonel, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Stowel, of the Lancers, are as much opposed as the
officers of the 7th are favourable to flogging; and the
further delay to Tuesday is also in favour of Mathew-
son, for had he been tried yesterday, young officers
would have composed the court-martial, whereas he will
be tried on Tuesday by veterans, whose humanity and
bravery are equally acknowledged, both by the men of
the 12th Lancers and the public. In fact, even the
privates of the regiment deem themselves insulted by
having so unpleasant a duty imposed upon their officers,
whom they look upon as kind mentors, interested in
their welfare. Even now the Colonel of the Lancers
allows Mathewson's friends to visit him ; and Sergeant-
Major Mahon, who accompanies those visitors to the
guard-house, orders the men on duty to retire, so that
any private conversation that the prisoner may desire to
have with those friends shall not be interrupted. This
kindness Mathewson gratefully acknowledges, and it
leads him to hope to find justice and mercy at he hands
of the gallant officers who will be his judges. His heart-
broken mother had an interview with him yesterday, and
immediately afterwards wrote to Mr. Wakley, who has
pledged himself to throw the shield of his protection
over him and every other witness examined at the in-
quest.

It now remains for the public to do their duty, by, in
the first instance, furnishing Mathewson with proper
legal assistance, of which he Rill be allowed to avail
himself, and that they should do this very day.
[The above appeared in the Sunday Times.]
Another account states that Mathewson declares that,
contrary to military discipline, the sergeant was unac-
companied, the regulations requiring that he should,
when visiting a sentry, be accompanied by two privates,
which not being the case, Mathewson will lose the benefit
he would othf-rwise have of two witnesses of his own
rank. He also complains of a district court•martial
being ordered instead of a general court-martial, as at
the latter he would have had the advantage of legal as-
sistance in his defence.

THE LATE CASE OF FATAL MILITARY FLOGGING
AT HOUNSLOW.-At an inquest held recently, by Mr.
Wakley, M.P., coroner, he made some remarks on the
frequency of cases 9f death arising from the effects of in.
juries to the skin, "awl said that since the late inquest at
Hounslow, on private Frederick John White, of the 7th
Queen's Own Hussars, who died from the effects of the
flogging he had received, his attention had been more
particularly drawn to such cases, which he found
averaged five each week. Until that inquest such cases
were confined chiefly to burns and scalds, but the evi-
dence given by Mr. Erasmus Wilson had proved that
the same fatal effects might arise from other injuries to
the skin. That fact had just been confirmed in a very
extraordinary manner. Mr. Hawes, M.P., the Under-
Secretary for the Colonies, had a day or two since com-
municated to him, that by a report just received from
Dr. Motherwell, the superintendent of convicts in Van
Diemen's Land, as to their condition, it appeared, by a
discovery be had made, that two very important effects
were produced on the convicts by resorting to corporal
punishment, viz., inflammation of the chest and disease
of the heart, the very causes of private White's death,
but which were ascribed by four out of the five surgeons
examined to sudden change of temperature, Mr. Wilson
being the only one who ascribed it to the injury to the
skin occasioned by the flogging the deceased had re-
ceived.

ESCAPE FROM BRIXTON GAOL —A reward of 101.
has been offered for the apprehension of a man named
Thomas Finn, a prisoner who effected his escape from
the Brixton House of Correction. It appears that the
fugitive was a most desperate character, well-known on
the Surrey side of the water by the police tor his dis-
sipated habits and ferocious conduct. He was convicted
at the Central Criminal Court for an assault, for which
he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard
labour. ,He effected his escape a few nights since by
dressing himself in some of the watchman's clothes,
which he had contrived to procure.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE LONDON DOCIES.—OH
Saturday Mr. William Baker held an inquest at the
Royal Crown, Ratcliff-highway, on view of the body of
Henry Blohm, aged twenty-eight, a sailor on board the
merchant ship the Glory, of Hamburgh, who was
drowned in the London Doeks. It appeared that on
Thursday evening last, about ten o'clock, the deceased
was at the bow-head of the vessel, in the act of raising
a pail of water from the docks, when he fell overboard.
The drags were instantly employed, but the body was
not found till the following morning. Verdict, Acci-
dental Death.

DRUItY-LANE THEATRE.—We remember no season
respecting the commencement of which so great an in-
terest has been excited as on the present occasion. A
newly-decorated theatre, a new ballet, with a new set of
dancers, a new drop scene, and various other novelties,
are certainly attractions of the very highest order, and
we do not wonder that people are flocking to secure seats
for such an interesting event. It is most gratifying to
know that the private boxes and stalls are mostly secured
by some of our principal noble families.
The Gallery in Leicester-square, so well known
to our readers as being occupied by the late talented
Miss Linwood, is, we are informed, about being opened
by an equally talented lady as an Exhibition of Tableaux
Vivans. While we condemn, as public journalists, any-
thing with the least approach to an immoral tendency,
we feel disposed to advocate the present exhibition,
knowing it to be under the patronage of many influential
members of the Royal Academy. We would advise the
public to go and judge for themselves, as we feel confi-
dent their expectations will be more than realised.
Madam Warton's corps consists of a foreign importa-
tion and Royal Academy models. Monday week is an-
nounced for the opening. A promenade will be opened
for the comfort of the visitors, and the musical depart-
ment is entrusted to a professor of known celebrity. We
refer our readers for particulars to the bills of the day.
DEATH OF Da. BENNIE OF LADY YESTER'S.
It is our painful duty to-day to record the death of the
Rev. Archibald Bennie, D.D., which rather unlooked lor
event took place at Dunoon on Monday night, at hall-
past ten o'clock. lle had been complaining for a on
siderable time past, and was lately attacked by erysipelas
in the head, which, we understand, was the immediate
cause of his death. Dr. Bennie was ordained to the
ministry in 1824, and was translated from Stirling t(
Edinburgh in 1835, having been appointed, by the town-
council, on the 28th April of that year, to the church
and parish of Lady Yester's, in which he has ever sine(
ministered. Ile %%as one of the most eloquent and
popular clergymen of the day; and the estimation in
which his ministrations were held will be judged by the
fact that his church was always filled, and the sittingt
fully let. Dr. Bennie was much beloved by his friends
and his congregation, and, indeed, was held in genera'
respect. Tho congregation whom ho has left wil
naturally look to the town-council for one fitted to be
his successor—a task in which the later may perhale
find some difficulty, but to which, we are assured fron
past experience, they will employ their most zealous
endeavours to accomplish. By the death of Dr. Bennie.
a vacancy also occurs in the Chapel Royal, of which he
was one of the Deans.—Caledonian Mercury.

MARKET NE WS-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
During last week full average quantities of English Wheat
were reported ; but only a limited portion was on sale here,
arising from many of the cargoes having been previously
disposed of by land-carriage and sample. The receipts of
Barley and Beans were somewhat on the increase; but those
of all other articles of home produce were small; while the
aggregate imports from abroad, as well as the arrivals both
from Ireland and Scotland, were trifling. Fresh up a fair
supply of Wheat came to hand from Essex and Kent ; but
that from our other counties was small. Notwithstanding
the number of samples of that article on offer was
seasonably large, and the quality was good, the
demand for all descriptions, arising from the large
attendance of buyers, was brisk, at an advance in •
the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight of
from 3s to is per quarter, and at which nearly or quite the
whole of the parcels were disposed of. We had an increased
supply of fine foreign Wheat on sale, yet the holders were
very firm, and by no means anxious sellers. However, some
large quantities—say, nearly 10,000 quarters—were taken by
the dealers (partly on speculation) at a further rise in value
of fully 3s per quarter. There was more inquiry for Corn
under lock, although the number of foreign buyers in atten-
dance was not to say large, and we must quote the
prices quite 2s higher than on Monday last. The
exports of Wheat and Flour to France, Belgium, and
Holland, continue extensive. This circumstance, to-
gether with the unfavourable accounts which continue to
reach us from Ireland, respecting the potato crop, is having
considerable influence upon the minds of both buyers and
sellers. The show of English Barley was very moderate,
that of Foreign small. Fine parcels moved off steadily at
very full prices ; but in other kinds comparatively little was
doing, at barely late rates. With Malt we were moderately
supplied. The best Chevalier qualities were in good request,
though we canaot call them dearer. The secondary and in-
ferior sorts commanded only a moderate amount of attention,
yet prices were maintained in every instance. From all
parts the receipts of Oats continue exceedingly limited.
For fine dry and selected parcels we had a ready sale,
at, in some few instances, a further advance in the quotations
of 6d per quarter. In the value of all other kinds we can
notice no alteration, though it was firmly supported. For
Beans we had a slow inquiry, yet the factors succeeded in
obtaining last week's prices for them. The sale for Peas of
all descriptions was steady, at late rates. The Flour trade
was brisk, at an advance of from 3s to 5s per 2801bs. Ame-
rican Flour was 28 per barrel higher.

We have again to report the arrivals of large numbers of
fat stock from abroad for our market, during the past week,
in, for the most part, excellent condition; but we regret to
state, that upwards of 100 beasts, and 50 sheep,which are not
included in our table of imports, have been smothered on
their passage from Harlingen, and which loss falls entirely
upon the shippers. It will be perceived that the receipts
from Spain have re-commenced ; and we understand that
severel cargoes of oxen may be expected from Vigo
during the next fortnight. The seventy-five on sale
here, on Friday last, were mostly disposed of at from
121 to 181 each. Many of the Sheep on sale to-day
exhibited decided signs of crossing with our Glou-
cesters and Downs. The following is a statement of the

PLYMOUTH:

Spain
The above shows a total import of 3,783 head of stock. The
Spanish Oxen, noticed as arriving at Plymouth, have sold
at from 121 103 to 161 5s each. Their quality and condition
were very similar to those received here via Southampton.
Several rather large purchases of store foreign Sheep have
been lately made for grazing purposes ; and we learn that
those depastured during the last month—though they
have consumed an immense quantity of food—have
turned out well, but by no means profitably.
In to-day's market we had on sale about 220 Oxen and Cows
—lB being from Spain, the remainder from Holland and Ger-
many-1,600 Sheep and Lambs, and 20 Calves from abroad,
nearly the whole of which were disposed of. From our own
di-tricts the arrivals of beasts were large, and of greatly
improved quality. On the whole a large business was trans-
acted, at Friday's depression of 2d per 81bs., the highest quo-
tation being 4s per Blbs., and a clearance wa, effected. The
droves from the north comprised 2,300 short horns, from
the western and midland districts 800 Herefords, Scots,
Devons, &c., from other parts of England 600 of various
kinds, and from Ireland and Scotland 180 Beasts.
The numbers of Sheep were again larger; but the Mutton
trade was by no means active, yet previous rates were sup-
ported without difficulty. In Lambs, the supply of which
was larger, only a limited business was transacted, and prices
were decidedly lower than on this day se'nnight. The Veal
trade was tolerably steady, at full prices. Pigs were in good
supply and fair request, at late currencies.

NEWGATE AND LEADENBALL.

In consequence of the high prices for live stock in the
North of England elsewhere, the arrivals of country-killed
meat up to our markets since Monday last have been smaller,
they having amounted only to about 80 carcases of Beef, 300
ditto of Mutton, 80 ditto of Lamb, 40 ditto of Veal, and 100
ditto of Pork. The Metropolitan supplies have, however,
been seasonably good and of excellent quality. Mutton has
commanded a ready sale, at a trifle more money ; but all
other kinds of meat have moved off slowly at late rates.
About 90 carcases of foreign Beasts, 300 ditto of Sheep, and
20 ditto of Calves have appeared on sale.
