The principal features in the above returns are the great
falling off in the imports of Cows this year, and the
large increase in those of Calves. The number of
foreig❑ Beasts was very moderate, the time of year con-
sidered; but that of Sheep and Calves was again exten-
sive, and of somewhat improved quality. Each kind of
stock met a very inactive demand, at barely last week's
quotations. With home-fed Beasts we were tolerably
well, but not to say heavily supplied, but there was a
slight falling-off in their weighing qualities. As the
dead markets were well cleared of their last week's sup-
plies, and the attendance of buyers here to-day on the
increase, the Beef trade was steady, at an ad►ance in the
quotations paid on Friday last of 2d per 81bs; the prices
paid being on a par with those realised on this day
se'nnight, the primest Scots selling at 4s 2d per 81bs.
row Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received about 1,300 Soots and short-horns; from the
western and midland districts, 750 Herefords, runts,
Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of
various breeds; and from Scotland, 290 horned and
polled Scots; the remainder of the bullock supply being
derived from abroad, and the neighbourhood of the
metropolis. There was a slight falling-off in the num-
bers of Sheep, most of which were in good condition.
On the whole, the Mutton trade was firm, but we have
no improvement to notice in the quotations. The
primest old Downs sold at from 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs,
and at which a good clearance was effected. The sup-
ply of Lambs was by no means extensive, yet the de-
mand for that description of stock was in a sluggish
state, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs.
Although the numbers of Calves were good, the Veal
trade was steady, at fully last week's prices. Pigs were
very dull, but we have no alteration to notice in value.

NEV7GATE AND LD.A.D33NBAL3.
Very moderate supplies of country-killed meat have
been received up to these markets during the last
week, arising from the continued warm weather. With
meat slaughtered in the metropolis we have been sea-
sonably well supplied. Prime Mutton has sold steadily
at full rates of currency. In all other kinds of meat
only a limited business has been doing, and in some
instances the quotations have had a downward tendency.
Only about 800 carcases of foreign meat have been on
offer, and which have sold at comparatively low figures.

The supplies of new Potatoes are extensive, yet the
demand for them is steady, at from 5/ to 81 per ton.
During the past week the imports have amounted to
about 1,700 baskets, chiefly from Rotterdam.

LOROUGIC HOP MILEXET.
This market still continues in a very dull state, but
we have no further decline to notice in the quotations.
The plantation accounts are considered favourable, and
the daty is called 195,0004 to 200,000/. The supply of
Hops on offer is good. Sussex Pockets, 21 15s to 3125;
Weald of Kent ditto, 2/18s to 315 x; Mid and East Kent
ditto, 314 s to 515 s per cwt.

WOOL.
Although the attendance of buyers at the public
sales has been large, the whole of the wool offered has
not found buyers: The fall in prices may be called
from Id to 2d per lb. In the private contract markets
next to nothing is doing, and the quotations have a
downward tendency. The imports since Monday last
have consisted of 250 bales from llamburgh; 583 ditto
from the Cape; 1,300 ditto from Sydney; and 5,000
ditto from Port Phillip.

TALLOW.
Although the deliveries in the pact week have been
good, the demand to-day is somewhat inactive, at a
I urth er decline of 3d per cwt. P.Y.C. on the spot is
44s 6d to 44s 3d. For forward delivery very little 15
doing. Town Tallow is 44s to 44s 6d net cash; rough
fat 2s 6d per 8 lbs. The shipments of Tallow from,t-
Petersburgh this year, up to the 28th ult., were 21,/
casks, against 7,450 ditto at the same time in 184/.

ST. MARTINS-IN-THE-FIELDS.—The Rev. Henry
Mackenzie having been appointed to the vicarage of this
parish, on the resignation of the Rev. Sir. H. R. Dukin-
held, Bart., was formally inducted to
Rev. J. Jackson, Rector of St. James' the living by the
s in presence of
the churchwardens, sidesmen, and other respectable in-
habitants, on Saturday last. The ancient custom of
tolling the bell by the new vicar and other canonical
forms wire duly observed.

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
During last week, the arrivals of English Wheat for
our market, coastwise, were on the increase ; those of
Malt were seasonably extensive ; but those of all
other articles of home produce were comparatively
' ...mall. The receipts from Ireland and Scotland were
confined to a few parcels of Oats. Liberal supplies
came to hand from abroad, viz., 6,819 quarters of
Wheat ; 18,872 quarters of Barley ; 35,051 quarters of
Oats; 165 quarters of Rye; 1,282 quarters of Beans ;
1,799 quarters of Peas.; 46 quarters of Tares ; 2,267
quarters of Linseed ; 87 quarters of Mustard Seed ; 117
quarters of sundry Seeds ; and 313 barrels, together
with 125 sacks of Flour. Fresh up to-day, only a mo-
derate quantity of Wheat of home produce was received
up to our market coastwise, as well as by land-carriage
and sample. Notwithstanding the attendance of both town
and country buyers was good,and the showof samples very
moderate, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was
in a very sluggish state. Selected qualities of red and
white were, however, mostly disposed of, at prices about
equal to those obtained on Monday last. In the mid-
dling and inferior kinds exceedingly little business was
transacted, at, in same instances, a decline in the quota-
tious of is per quarter, and which a clearance was with
difficulty effected. The general quality of the Wheats
brought forward to-day was good. The show of Foreign
Wheat was by no means large, owing to several cargoes
of the late arrivals being sold last week on board for
consumption in the north. The importers were not
to say anxious sellers ; yet in the few sales con-
cluded prices suffered an abatement of is. per quarter.
Bonded Wheats were heavy, and almost nominal in value.
Scarcely any English Barley was brought forward, but
the supply of Foreign was very extensive. All kinds
met a very dull inquiry, at, in some instances, a decline
in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of is
per quarter. This fall, however, applies more particu-
larly to Foreign qualities. The supply of Malt being
more than equal to the wants of the buyers, the Malt
trade was in a very dull state, at almost nominal quo-
tations. With Foreign Oats we were very heavily sup-
plied. Even the best parcels met a very dull inquiry,
and the prices were 6d per quarter lower than last week.
In Beans very iew transactions took place; nevertheless,
we have no decline to notice in prices. The sale for
Peas was in a very sluggish state, at barely late rates.
Indian Corn and Meal commanded very little attention.
In Flour comparatively little business was passing, at
our quotations. The supply was very moderate.
