There was a very poor show of foreign stock here to-day,
both as to number and quality. ... 212 ...
Compared with Monday last, the supply of English
beasts en offer this morning was on the increase ; but the
general quality of the stook was only middling. As the
supply of meat in the dead market was not quite so exten-
sive as of late, and as the attendance of butchers was on
the increase, the beef trade ruled firm, at prices fully equal
to last week. The primest Scots sold at quite 4s Gd per •lbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,500 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of
England, 600 of various breeds; from Scotland, 340 Scots;
and 340 oxen, &c., from Ireland.
We were again very scantily supplied with all breeds of
sheep. Their condition, however, was good. The mutton
trade ruled steady, though not to say brisk, at last Monday's
quotations. The primest old Downs realised 54 2d per Sibs.
About 500 shorn sheep were in the market, and they
changed hands at from 6d to 8d per 81bs beneath those in
the wool.

The few lambs on sale produced about 6s 6d per 81ba.
Calves were in short supply and moderate request, at last
week's prices. The top quotation was 55 2d per Blbs-
There was only a limited inquiry for pigs, at late rates.

BOROUGS AND SPITALFIELDS.
Since Monday last, the arrivals of home-grown potatoes
have been very
moderate, and the imports from the Conti-
nent have been comparatively limited, viz., 30 tons from
Boulogne, 100 tons from Antwerp, and 365 tons from
York 120 s to 180 s per ton ;
Dllunkirk. The demand may be considered steady, as
follows :

Messrs. Ellis and Fickling, ship-brokers, were sum-
moned under the list section of the Passenger Act, to
show cause why they should not return the sum of 1201.

to Australia for himself, wife, and child, and also suste-
nance money since their arrival in this country.
Mr. J. P. Doyle (barrister) appeared for the com-
plainants ; the defendants were unrepresented by any
legal gentleman.
It appeared from the learned gentleman's statement
that in August last the complainant took a passage for
himself, wife, and family by the Windsor for Australia,
for which he paid the defendants as agents the sum of 1201.
The ship left the port of London about the Ist or 2d Nov.
and proceeded prosperously on her voyage till off the
Cape de Verde Islands, where in broad day she went
ashore. The passengers with difficulty escaped with
their lives, losing every particle of their luggage and
money. The British Consul sent the passengers back
to Southampton, from whence they came to London in
January last, and applied to the defendants for another
ship, which was refused ; they then demanded the return
of the passage mosey and sustenance money, both of
which had been refused, and they had summoned these
defendants in consequence, under the 51 see, of the
above not. The passengers were now destitute.
Mr. Goodman (Chief Clerk) asked the defendants if
they would state their defence to the summons.
Mr. Pickling said the vessel was surveyed by the
emigration agent, who certified she was not an emigra-
tion ship under the provision of the Act.
Mr. Goodman then read to them the whole of the
17,820

asked them to con
