The arrivals of stock at Bull, &c„ have been small, viz.,
about 340 head, chiefly from Hamburgh and Rotterdam, 1
and in very middling condition. The imports for some '
time hence are expected to be comparatively small.
The supply of foreign stock here this morning was, on
a comparison with some former markets, limited; it
consisting of about 260 Beasts, 600 Sheep, and 4 Calves
from Holland, while from Spain there were in the
market 90 oxen, in fair average condition, and which
sold at prices varying from 151 15s to 201. each. Nearly
the last arrival of Beasts for the "season" took place
to-day from the Northern grazing districts; and we may
state that the general quality of that description of ,
stock, though by no means first-rate, was improved.
Notwithstanding the weather was somewhat unfavour-
able to slaughtering, the primest Scots, &c., com
manded a steady sale, at prices quite equal to those ob-
tained on this day se'nnight, via., from 4s 10d to 58 per
Sibs. In the middling and inferior breeds a moderate
business was doing, at late rates. On the whole, the
Bullock supply was about an average one for the time of
year. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and North-
amptonshire, we received about 1,000 Short Horns ;
from the Eastern, Western, and Midland counties, 800
llerefords, Scots, Devons, Irish beasts, &c. ; from other
parts of England, 700 of various kinds ; and from Scot-
land, 190 horned and polled Scots. The number of
Sheep were decidedly less than those exhibited at the
corresponding periods in 1846 and 1847 ; but their
quality was better than for some time pest. The Mut-
ton trade was tolerably firm, and last Monday's quota-
tions were supported in every instance. The primest
old Downs sold at from 5s to 55 4d per Sibs. With
Calves we were but moderately supplied ; while the
Veal trade was steady, at extreme currencies. Prime
small Porkers sold freely ; other kinds of Pigs slowly,
at late figures. At the close of business a good clear-
ance was effected.

between the last and the present session, were not of
so serious a character as those which grand juries at
that court had to consiler after a long interval.
There was one observation Ns hich he was led to make
before he concluded. It had been said that it was
the intention in another place to endeavour to do away
with grand juries in cases of larceny ; whether it
would be wise to do so or not it was not for him to
say, but his own impression was, that the interven-
tion of grand juries was a safeguard to the public.
The Learned Judge then remitted the grand jury to
the discharge of their duties, and the Court proceeded
to swear in the petty jury.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Edward Johnson, a notorious thief, was placed be-
fore Mr. Bingham, charged with being found in the
house of Mrs. Elizabeth Dodd, No. 4, Edward street,
with intent to commit a felony.
The complainant stated, that on Saturday night
about 9 o'clock her servant came and informed her
that a man was in the coal-cellar with a large sack in
his possession. She went to see who it was, as at
first she thought it might be one of her lodgers. On
reaching the kitchen stairs she saw the prisoner
coming up, but directly he caught sight of her he ran
down stairs. She went for a constable, who found the
prisoner in the cellar with the bag in his possession.
She then gave him into custody.
Amelia Bright said she was sent by her mistress to
fetch some coals from the cellar, when on going into the
back kitchen she saw the prisoner coming out of the
cellar with a large sack upon his shoulder. She
called out, when the prisoner threw her down and
ran back into the cellar. She then ran up stairs, and
informed her mistress of the circumstance.
Police•constable C 130, said he was called to the
prosecutrix's house about nine on Saturday night, to
take the prisoner into custody. On i
searching the
coal cellar he found the prisoner lying n a corner,
with the sack close by him. He took him to the
station, where the sack was searched, and found to
contain several pieces of carpet and a pair of boxing
gloves. The former had not been identified, but the
latter articles were identified by the prosecutrix as
belonging to her son.
The prisoner, who made a lame defence about going
into the cellar to look for his pipe, was remanded till
Thursday.

With country killed Meat these markets are tolerably
well, but not to say heavily, supplied. The supply on
offer to-day, slaughtered in the metropolis, was mode-
rately extensive, but of very middling quality. Beef,
Mutton, and Pork, especially the best descriptions,
moved off steadily, at very full prices ; otherwise the
demand was in a sluggish state, at our quotations. About
400 carcases of foreign Meat have been disposed of in the
past week.

Coastwise, only a moderate supplz' of Potatoes has
reached us since Monday last. The imports have
amounted to 220 tons from Hamburgh. Really fine sam-'

the value of other kinds is well supported.—York

BonouGit HOP MARKET.
There is a decided improvement in the demand here
for nearly all kinds of new Hops, and last week's prices
are steadily supported in every instance. Old Hops

figures :—Sussex Pockets, 21 16s to 31 ss; Weald of

THE DREADFUL MURDER IN
GOLDEN-LANE.
INQUEST ON THE BODIES (THIS MORNING).
This morning, at eleven o'clock, the inquiry as to the
death of Robert;Henry Blake, aged 5, and Armenia Blake,
aged 7, was resumed.
The CORONER, on the court being opened, complained
of a statement which appeared in the morning papers, to
the effect that Mr. Blake, the father, gave the alarm, at
four o'clock on Saturday morning, that his children
were murdered. This could not be the fact if Blake
stated the truth.
A policeman said no such statement was made at the
police-court.
Stephen Hewlett, a lodger at the Duke of Bedford,
Gulden-lane, stated that he was in front of the bar a
little before five o'clock. Robert Blake called him out.
He asked witness if he would go to the theatre with the
woman Parker, who was with him. He refused. Blake said,
"We will go fora walk then," and they went towards Old-
street. Parker followed them. She said, "You shall
find a complete devil in me." Sbe appeared sober and
not much excited. All three then went to a public-
house in Goswell-street, and Blake and the woman
Parker appeared more comfortable. Having returned
to the Duke of Bedford, they had some gin, and Blake
got away unseen by Parker, but she missed him in half
a minute, and ran Gut greatly excited. She came back
in five minutes, and said, " It is a good job you did not
go with him; he shall repent of this before morning. I
will do something that he shall repent, and die like a
trump at Newgate." She then went away. In a few
minutes after he went to her house, No. 3, Cubit's-court.
She opened the window, and he said to her, " Mrs.
Blake, what is the matter?" She said, " I have some-
thing very black in my mind, and I'll stop it before long.
You will hear of me before you see me."
This was.
about half-past eight at night.
Mr. Charles Adams, landlord of the Duke of Bed—
ford, repeated the evidence given before the magistrate
on Saturday last.
Jane Jones, of No. 2, New-court, Goswell-street,
said that she knew Robert Henry Blake. On Friday
evening last, about seven o'clock, she met him at the
corner of Golden lane and Old-street. A male and a
female were with him. They passed on into Goswell-
street, and witness lost sight of them in Fan-street. As
they were going down Goswell-street, witness said, as
they passed, " Robert." She did not think Harriet
Parker heard her address Blake, In three-quarters of
an hour after that time Blake met her at the corner of
New-court, and said, " Make haste, Jane, for I think
lam watched." They then went to a public-house at
Cow-cross, where they stopped till half-past eleven
o'clock; from there they repaired to a house in Bell-
alley, Goswell-street, where they stopped until a
quarter to ten o'clock the following morning. She had
not made any arrangement to meet him that night. Ske
quire certain that she did not touch Blake's arm
when she addressed him.
Richard Wright, of 15, Arthur-street, said that about
half-past twelve on Saturday morning, as he was passing
down Golden-lane, he met Harriet Parker with the
eldest deceased. The child ran after him and called him
by name. Immediately after wards the woman came up
to him and asked if he had seen Robert, for he had
given her the slip? She also said, he has gone to the
play and he shall repent it. She appeared at that time
sober, but very excited. He told her that he thought it
was very bad to have a child out so late as that was.
She said, " I always take the girl with me, but you
know they are not mine." He then bade her good
night and went home. Witness afterwards saw Parker
proceed in the directien of her own home.
[The inquest was proceeding when our report left.]

THE NEW SPANISH BISHOPS.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
We announced yesterday that the Pope held a
Secret Consistory on the 17th inst., at the Quirinal,
and filled all the vacant Spanish bishoprics. The
names were officially gazetted on the 18th in the
Marie Romano. Thus, it seems, that what could not
be obtained by revolutionary Spain from the inflexi-
bility of Gregory XVI., has been at last granted by
the more enlightened although no less tenacious mind
of Pius IX. The terms of the adjustment, however,
are rather mortifying. Since the year 1833 the
Spanish bishoprics had been filled by nominees of
Queen Christina, when Regent of the kingdom in
the name of her daughter, Isabella 11., and never re-
ceived the apostolical sanction. The sole condition
on which the lloly See offered to recognise canoni-
cally the Spanish bishops seems to have been that the
bishops appointed either by Christina or Isabella
should resign for deficiency of due authority in their
election, and submit for re-appointment to the Pope.
This condition, which might have been considered
tantamount to an indirect avowal of an usurped
power, and which, at all events, would have com-
promised the legality of the present occupant of the
Spanish throne (as some spirited Members of the
Cortes had the courage to tax the Narvaez Ministry
a few days ago in the debates on the subject), was
indignantly rejected by successive Governments of
Spain. The Moderados, as faithful imitators of the
quasi-milieu policy, and anxious for a reconciliation
a tout prix with Rome, have at last yielded. Narvaez,
flourishing the same enchanted wand which dispersed
the Salamanca-Goyena Administration, has uncere-
moniously ordered all the bishops elected by Chris-
tina and Isabella to resign, and the Pope, satisfied
with this act of primitive obedience, has motu-proprio
condescended to reinstate them to the vacant sees•
In concluding, we must remember that the Holy See
has with undeviating policy constantly recognised
every form of government de facto. Pope Pius VII,
signed a concordat with the French Republic in 1801;
recognised Napoleon as Emperor de facto of France,
and lately Don Miguel as King de fa cto of Portugal:;
and, since the fall of Don Miguel, has recognised
Donna Maria da Gloria the present Queen of Par-
The following is the list of the new Spanish
bishops :

THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—The health of the Lord
Chancellor is gradually improving, and the Noble and

It is however doubtful whether his Lordship will be
