There was a very poor show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, and that of Irish stock was confined to 112 beasts,
and 90 pigs.
The receipts of beasts put up from our own grazing dis•
triets were seasonably good as to number, but their general
condition was by no means first-rate. All breeds moved
off slowly at barely last Monday's currency. The extreme
value of the best Scots was 4s 6d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Con'
bridgeshire amounted to 2,500 short horns and Scots
from other parts of England, 40) of various breeds ; and
from Scotland—chiefly by railway-300 horned and polled
Soots.

We were tolerably well supplied with sheep of fall aye'
rage weight. For all breeds we experienced a slow sale,
and, in some instances, prices were the turn in favour
buyers. A faw very prime old Dolins sold at ss, but the
general top figure for the best Downs in the wool wee
1310 d per 81bs. Out of the wool the quotation was 43 2d
per,Blbs.
The few lambs in the market sold at very high rates►
viz., 7s 4d to 8s Sibs.
Calves were in short supply, and active request, at 4d
par 81bs more money. The top quotation was 6s per 8110.
We had a slow sale for pigs, at last week's currency.

Tho Great Lamb Madre will be held here on Thur
next, instead of Friday as hitherto.

who, it will be remembered, was sentenced to death for
cowardice—a sentence afterwards commuted to transpor-
tation for life, and who has for the last month been in
the custody of Master at-Arms Wm. Reynolds, on board
the Victory, was on Tuesday last delivered up by him
to two of the Admiralty police, who removed him to
minbankilrison.—Portsmoath Times.
