SEEDS.

Most of the late arrival of Baltic and Black Sea Lin-
seed have been cleared off, at full prices, and several
somewhat largo contracts have been entered into for
spring shipment. In other seeds, very little is doing, at
about stationary prices. Cakes command very little
attention.

Since Monday last about 12,000 carcases of meat have
arrived from Scotland and various parts of England,
chiefly by railway conveyance. Our markets, to-day,
were but moderately supplied with meat killed in the
metropolis; nevertheless, the demand was in a sluggish
state, at but little alteration in prices.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
No imports of foreign Potatoes took place last week;
whilst the supplies of home growth received by land car-
riage, as well as coastwise, were not very extensive,
though in excellent condition. Generally speaking, the
demand is steady, and prices are well supported in every
instance.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Our market still continues firm for all kinds of new
Hops, at prices fully equal to those obtained last week.
The show of samples is very moderate. Yearlings com-
mand rather more attention. New Sussex Pockets,
51 12s to 6110 s; New Kent, 6l 8s to 81; Golding, Mid,
and East Kent, 91 to 121 ss; Yearlings, 41 15s to 51

WOOZ.
Last week's imports of Wool were good, viz., 43 bales
from Rotterdam, 5 from Antwerp, 61 from Hamburgh,
716 from Taganrog, 38 from Leghorn, 67 from Smyrna,
36 from Havre, 135 from the Cape, 21 from Alexandria,
and 1,000 from Sydney. The private contract market
is well supplied. Selected English qualities are in fair
request, at full prices. In other kinds very little is
doing.

TALLOW.
Although a fair average business has been transacted
in Tallow since Monday last—the deliveries having
amounted to 3,219 casks—the demand is far from active,
at about stationary prices. To-day new P.Y.C. on the
spot is quoted at 375, and old 36s 6d per cwt. Town
Tallow 36s 6d to 37s per cwt. net cash; rough Fat, 25
per 81bs.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court was occupied during the morning in trying
the case of " Spencer v Curtis," which was an actio❑ by
a surveyor and engineer against a provisional committee-
man for 6651., the balance of an account alleged to be
duo for surveying a railway from Gravesend to Tun-
bridge and Brighton, which was but
ultimately abandoned. The trial pprroteiesteeddtoinlalsStias,con-
siderable time.

The case of " Miller v. Alderman Sslomons, M.P.,"
stands next on the list, and, if not adjourned by agree-
ment until to-morrow, will probably come on some time
during the afternoon.;

M A.RLBRO'-STREET-(TiIIS DAY.)
ROBBERY IN AN OHINIBUS.—Mary Jones and Jane
Wilson, two pickpockets, who are well known to the
police, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with robbing a lady, 1 - named Norris, of her
purse, containing four sovereigns and other money,
while in an omnibus.
Lindon, a detective officer, belonging to the Great
Western Railway Company, stated that on Saturday
evening, about seven o'clock, on the arrival of the third-
class train at Paddington, he saw the two prisoners,
,
whom he recognised as suspicious characters, mixing
with the passengers on the platform. Having on a pre-
vious occasion put them off the platform ho watched
them, and all of a sudden he missed them, and on look-
ing about he saw them get into a Charing-cross omnibus.
He then went to the conductor, and told him to keep his
eye upon the prisoners, as they were bad characters.
George Bowers said he was conductor of a Great-
Western Railway omnibus, which runs from the rail-
way to Charing-cross. On Saturday evening, about
seven o'clock, the prisoners got into his omnibus, and
in consequence of what last witness had communicated
to him, he kept a sharp eye upon the prisoners and the
other passengers, and when ho arrived in Oxford-street
the prisoners got out. Ho directed a lad to follow them
and then inquired of the passengers if they had lost
anything. A lady said he bad lost her purse. Wit-
ness then went after the prisoners and stopped them,
and told them he wanted them. They exclaimed,
" Good God! what tor." Ho told them a lady
had lost her purse, and they were suspected of
taking it. He then saw Jones try to pass
something which felt to him like a purse to the prisoner
Wilson, and he heard her say, " Here, it, take it,
be quick." Wilson tried to take the purse, and in
doing so she let it fall to the ground. He then saw it
was a purse, and a boy picked it up and handed it to
him. The prosecutrix then came up and identified the
purse as her property. The prisoners were then given
in charge.
Mary Ann Norris, a widow lady, said—About seven
o'clock
Saturday
evening she arrived at the Padding-
tonstation the third-class train and got into a
by
Charing-cross omnibus. The prisoner Jones sat by her
side, and the prisoner Wilson sat opposite. On arriving
in Oxford-street she was spoken to by the conductor,
and immediately afterwards she missed her purse. The
ono produced corresponded with the one she lost, mad
the contents are the same.
Former convictions having been proved against the
prisoners, they were committed for trial.

fords, D evoni, and Blurt horns. Notwithstanding tha
the attendance of both town and country butchers was
by no moans extensive, and that the weather bad become
mild for the time of year, the Beef trade ruled steady at
last week's advance in the quotations. The primest Sots
realised 3s 8d to 3s 10d per 81bs, and a good clearance
was effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, we received 2,800 short horns; from
other parts of England, 500 Herefords, runts, Devons,
&c., and from Scotland, 220 horned and polled Scots.
Although the number of Sheep was somewhat larger
than that exhibited on this day so'nnight; the Mato's
trade was steady, though by no means active, at un-
altered currencies. The top figure for the best old
Downs was was 4s 4d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of
of which was moderately extensive, moved off slowly,
and late rates were with difficulty supported. In Pigs
comparatively little business was transacted at our
quotations.
