The foreign stock at hand since our last report has been
in very poor and middling condition, and it is presumed
that, owing to the want of food on the continent, future
arrivals will show very little, if any, improvement in weight.
The supply of foreign stock in to-day's market was season-
ably good as to number, but its general condition was in-
ferior. From' our own grazing districts, the receipts of
beasts fresh up this morning were deficient in quality ;
nevertheless, they were moderately extensive in number.
Generally speaking, the beef trade ruled heavy, at last
Thursday's decline in the quotations of 2d. per 81bs. A
few very prime lots realised 4s. 10d., but the general top
figure for beef was 4s. Bd. per 81bs. The arrivals from
Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire
amounted to 2,290 shorthorns ; from other' parts of Eng-
land, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 70 Scots ; and
from Ireland, 1,000 oxen, &c.—the latter in prime condition.
The supply of all breeds of sheep was only moderate.
Generally speaking, the mutton trade ruled steady, and late
rates were well supported. The best Downs sold at ss. per
81bs. The general condition of the sheep was but middling.
Nearly 1,000 had reached us from Ireland. English calves
sold steadily ; foreign slowly, at Thursday's currencies.
We had rather a large supply of pigs, which moved off
slowly, at late rates.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—(This Day.)

The general quarterly October sessions commenced this
morning at the sessions House, Clerketwell, before Mr.
Creasy, the deputy a •311talit judge. The calendar contained
the names of 40 prison( rs for trial.

Dennis Do:loran was indicted for stealing a pair of boots,
the property of Mr. Barnes, of St. George-street in the
East. The prisoner-pleaded not guilty..

The assistant to Mr. Barnes stated that on Saturday
last week he heard a jerk at the shop door, and on proceed-
ing to the street he saw the prisoner running away. Ho
pursued him, and finally came up with him when he found
him in custody of constable 53 K. The boots were taken
from under his jacket.
The jury without hesittation found him guilty.
Two former convictions having been proved against him,
sentence was postponed.
_ _ _

Three boys, named Godwin, Roberts, and Tucker, were
indicted for stealing a pair of boots, the property of James
Carrell, of Chelsea, shoemaker. The two former pleaded
not guilty. Tucker pleaded guilty.

The offence was clearly proved against Godwin, but
there was a doubt with respect to Roberts.
The jury found the prisoner Godwin guilty, but acquitted
Roberts.
Sentence deferred.

Thomas Sullivan, labourer, pleaded guilty to an indict
ment, charging him with stealing 791bs of lead, the pro
perty of her Majesty.
Sentenced deferred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day).

BOW-STREET.

WATCH ROBBERY.—Two flashly-dressed girls, named
Selina Berry and Eliza Clerk, were placed before Mr.
Jardine charged with stealing a gold watch, the property
of a gentleman named Longman.
Mr. Longman said, on Saturday night, about half-past
eleven, I was passing along Adam-street, Adelphi, when
botn the prisoners came up to me and asked me to stand
something to drink. I refused to comply, and told them
immediately to leave me. This polite request they declined
to comply with, but kept on importuning me for drink, and
finally they began to push against me. In an instant after this
I heard a kind of click, and then I saw my Albert chain
fall loosely from my waistcoat pocket.- I immediately ac-
cused them of stealing my watch, which they stoutly
denied, and were about to walk on when I seized hold of
the hand of each of them and called loudly for a constable.
For some time I could get no assistance, and while I was
trying to, obtain aid to convey the girls to the station-
house, I saw the shorter one (Clerk) pass something to her
companion. At this point a police-constable arrived, and
then I handed over one of the girls to him, and the other I
kept in. hold until another officer arrived, when I gave
Berry over to him, and charged them both with
robbing me of my watch, a small but very
valuable one. Having proceeded to the station-
house the charge was entered in the police-sheet, and
both prisoners searched, but the missing watch was not
found on either of them, although they had had no oppor-
tunity of getting rid of it excepting throwing it away. I
was advised at the station-house, as I felt so sure that the
prisoners were the persons who had robbed me, to return to
the spot where the affair took place, in order to ascertain
whether the watch was lying about ; but after a very rigid
search of the place, I could discover nothing.
Police-constable 3 F said, about the hour mentioned by
the prosecutor, I arrived in Adam-street, Adelphi, and
found him holding both prisoners by the hand. He charged
both of them with having robbed him of his watch, and I
accordingly conveyed them to the station. They were
searched, but nothing was found upon them. Hearing
from the prosecutor that he had searched the spot where
the robbery was committed, but that he had not been suc-
cessful in finding his property, I visited the place the next
morning and picked up the ring of a gold watch.
Mr. Jardine, to the prosecutor—You are sure you had
your watch when the prisoners first spoke to you ?
Prosecutor—Yes, your worship, certain. I saw the
shorter one pass something, which I presume must have
been my watch, to the other.
Prisoner—Oh 1 how can you say so ?

Mr. Jardine—lt is rather a curious thing that the watch
has not been discovered. I shall, in order to afford further
time to the police to endeavour to do so, remand both pri-
soners for a week.

STEALING ArrLxs.—A boy, named White, was charged
with stealing 18 apples, the property of Mr. Belase°, a
salesman in Covent-garden market.

Mr. Belasco said on Saturday night, after he had
covered up his goods in the market, he happened to be
repassing them, when he observed a large hole had been cut
in the cloth, and about half a bushel of apples stolen. He
went in search of the constable to inform him of the cir-
cumstance, and on returning to the spot to secure the
opening, he saw the prisoner picking up some apples close
by it. It was not so much the value of the apples that
had induced him to proceed against the boy, as the damage
which had been done to the cover-cloth, which had been
rendered nearly valueless.

Mr. Jardine—l suppose you lose property very often ?
Complainant—Your worship can form no idea of the
great quantity of fruit that is nightly stolen from the
market.

In answer to the charge, the boy said he saw the apples
lying about, and he did not think there was any harm in
putting them in his pocket.
He was sent to prison for a week.
