NEWGATE AND LEAIDENIIAZI.

From most parts of England the arrivals of slaughtered
meat have been again somewhat on the increase, though
small for the time of year, viz., 95 carcases of Beef, 300 ditto
of Mutton; 120 ditto of Veal, and 480 ditto •of Pork—the
latter being chiefly from Surrey. The supplies killed in the
metropolis being moderately extensive, the general demand
has been in a very sluggish state, and in some instances the
quotations have had a downward tendency. Several carcases
of foreign meat have appeared on sale. .

BOROUGH 'OOP T.YLEI.RHIST.. _

As the duty is expected to be officially announced in a
few days, exceedingly little business is doing in any kind of
Hops, the priees of which may be considered almost nominal.
By many persons the duty is expected to be as follows :
Rochester, from £73,500 to £74,000
Canterbury ... 45,000 ... 45,500
Sussex ... 65,500 ... 66,500
Worcester ... 34,000 ... 34,500
Farnham ... 15,000... 15,500
Kingdom ... 4,500 .. 4,700

237,500.. 240,7C0
Mid and East Kents may be quoted at from 90s to 126 s
Weald of Kent, 82s to 945; and Sussex, 75s to 88s per cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPZICALPIELBS.
Although the arrivals of Potatoes in the Pool, as well as
by the various railways, have been on the increase during
the week, and of improved quality, the supply on offer is by
no means large. A steady business is doing in most kinds
at our quotations. From Boulogne, 10; and from Dunkirk,
110 tons have come to hand. York Regents, 120 s to 1455;
ditto Shaw& 120 s to 130 s; Kent and Essex Regents, 130 s
td 180 s; ditto Shaws, 120 s to 150 s; ditto Kidneys, 130 s to
140 s; Lincolnshire Regents, 125 s to 140 s; ditto Shaws, 115 s
td 130 s.

WOOL.
. Since Monday last the imports of Wool have been confined
to 128 bales from St. Petersburgh, 204 ditto from Gibraltar,
82 ditto from Konigsburg, and 81 ditto from Adelaide. In
English Wool a fair amount of business is doing at full prices,
but foreign and colonial qualities are much neglected,, though
we cannot consider them lower,
TALLOW.
There is a large, business doing in this'market, and prices
are again a shade higher.

ORANGE TRERS.—A few days since a vessel ar-
rived here from Ghent with an entire cargo of orange
trees, amounting to nearly 200, in full leaf and vigour,
many of them being equal in size to ordinary apple and
pear trees, the production of Belgium. Another exten-
sive arrival of orange trees has taken place from the
continent, in this instance from France, by the General
Steam Navigation Company's vessel the Venezuela,
which has arrived at the St. Katharine's steam-packet
wharf from Havre, having, in addition to the usual de-
scriptions of cargo, the large quantity of 121 orange
trees and several cases of choice flowers on board. As
in the former instance alluded to, we are unaware for
what particular purpose or for whom these extensive
arrivals of so rare and valuable a description of plant
are taking place, but nevertheless the mention of their
arrival in this cursory manner, whatever their destina-
tion, will be read with interest.

GRAND POLISH BALL AND CONCERT.—Lord
Dudley Stuart, Messrs. Peacock,Carter, Bedford, Evans,
Baker, Marriot, Thompson, Hayes, Eagleton, Carr, Holt,
Kemp, Hardy, and several other gentlemen, constituting.
the Polish Ball Committee of the City of London, as-
sembled at the Guildhall on Wednesday and Saturday,
to make some preliminary arrangements for the above
ball and concert, which are to take place on Wednesday,
the 18th instant. Mr. Wilkinson read letters from Al
Berman Farebrother, Mr. ;I), Salomon% and others, en-
closing subscriptions, and ging to be added to the
number of the managing committee. Lord Dudley
Stuart announced the favourable answer of the Lord
Mayor, the Lord Mayor elect, and the Sheriffs to the
deputation of the committee, and their desire in every
way to patronise and advance the objects of the ap-
proaching ball. Mr. Carr, the honorary secretary,
stated that already a number of tickets were disposed of,
and that never had the kindness of professional gentle-
men been more marked than in the present instance by
the early tender of their valuable and gratuitous services.
BRIGHTON, OCT. 31.—The Baroness de Thosen and
family arrived here yesterday from Paris, in the steamer
Menai, from Dieppe.
DARWEN.—BOY KILLED IN A COAL- PIT.—OR
Saturday morning last an accident occurred in a coal-pit
belonging to Messrs. Brand wood, at Over Darwen, by
which a boy about nine years old, named James ain-
forth, was killed. The deceased was assisting a drawer,
another boy about ten or eleven years of age, with a tub
full of coals, which they bad brought to the bottom of
the pit, and hooked on to the rope. By some means the
full tub, while bsing drawn up, caught an empty one
which was descending, and carried it some distance up
the shaft, when the empty tub fell to the bottom and
struck the deceased on the head, fracturing his skull.
He died on Sunday night. An inquest was held at the
Millstone, Over Darwen, on Wednesday last, when a
verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned.—Preston
Chronicle.
THE ESSEX POISONINGS.—The adjourned inquest
was resumed on Saturday before C. C. Lewis, coroner
for Essex, and the jury empanelled to investigate the
• death of Solomon Taylor, the illegitimate offspring of
Lydia Taylor and Thomas Newport Fames, of Claver-
ing, at the Jocks Inn, Maunden The woman Sarah
Chesham, against whom a verdict of wilful murder was
returned on Friday week for poisoning her own children,
was in the first instance detected putting salve, or some
other poisonous substance, Into the deceased's mouth,
and upon the charge of attempting to poison was appre-
hended, and committed to Chelmsford gaol, when cir-
cumstances transpired which I,cl to the discovery of the
murders by poison of Sarah Chesham's two children.
Professor Taylor, chemical lecturer of Guy's Hospital,
who had tested the stomach of the deceased, now said
he had been unable to discover any poison. The coroner
then summed up, and dwelt upon the suspicious circuns •
stances of the case, which he left to the jury. The jury
ultimately returned the following verdict:—" Ttiat the
deceased Solomon Taylor died from mesenteric disease
of the glands, but whether it arose from natural causes .
or otherwise there was not sufficient evidenCe to show."
