The Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at, in most:tranes_e"
• tions, a decline on Friday's currencies of quite 2d per 81u°;,
However, the primest Scots were mostly disposed c'''
at prices varying from 3s 8d to 3s 10d per Blbs ; but a
large portion of the inferior breeds left the market unsold'
. The numbers of Sheep were moderately good. Prime '9l
Downs commanded a steady sale, at fully last week's quota-
tions ; while in most other kinds a fair business was doing%
and late rates were well supported. The Lamb trade 05
very dull, at a decline of.2d per Blbs, the highest quotation
being 4s 8d per 81bs.ICalves 2d per 81bs higher than on 111011`
day last. Pigs ruled about stationary.

BOROUGH AND SPITILLFIELDS,
There are now s,r,u•cely any old Potatoes on sake, And 10
price can ht, quoted with accuracy. New Potatoes—the
supply ok which is large—command a ready sale, at from
;fie to 61 per ton.
BOROUGH HOP
The market here is somewhat firmerMARZET.
and the duty is now
calculated at from 140,000/., to 145,000/9.

WOOL IWARILET.
Owing to the former arrivals the public sales now pro"
gressing will not be brought to a conclusion. before Thursday
next. Although the biddings are not very brisk, most of the
parcels offered have found buyers at full quotations.
TALLOW MANIZEMT.
Again to-day we have to report this market without any
change, either on the spot or prospectively; business, as t°
speculative transactions, there is none, and the demand
very limited, owing chiefly to the weather being warm, an
the supply of home Tallow good. Town Tallow is 40.3 6'
nett cash.

NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES, TELESCOPES/
OPERA GLASSES, MICROSCOPES, &C.--Messrs. S. and
B. Solomons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca-
dilly, have succeeded in effecting a most scientific im-
provement in Spectacle and Telescope Lenses, &e., of
the greatest transparent power. The extraordinary-
advantage derived from this invention is that vision
becoines preserved and strengthened and very aged per:
sons are enabled to employ their sight either by day or
candle light at the most minute occupation, and can see
with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, nor
will they require the frequent changes to further helps
as the Spectacles now in common use. Also newly-in-
vented Achromatic Waiscoat- pocket Telescopes and,
Opera Glasses which are invaluable at the sea-side and
on the race-course, as well as at the theatre, &c.—Every'
kind of Telescope for Shooting, Sea purposes, and upon
stand for astronomical observations with the celebrated
Lenses of the most clear transparent brilliancy ; the
powers are so great and the Lenses so bright and bril-
liant that minute objects at an extraordinary distance
are brought completely under the eyes.—Sportsnien,
Tourists, and sea-side visitors will indeed here have a
great treat. Their invisible Voice Conductor gives im-
mediate relief to old standing extreme cases of deafness.
Caution.—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, Opticians and
Aurists, are not in any way connected with a person
of the same name in their immediate neighbourhood,.
nor in any part of the country. To prevent mistakes, be'
cautious, and observe.—Only to be had at 39, Albe-
marle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel.
ADVERTISEMENT. ANOTHER EXTRAORDINART
PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.--
Mr. Stevens, a gentleman holding a highly responsible'
situation in an insurance-office in the City, from ovel
attention to business, became so bilious, debilitated, and
nervous, with palpitation of heart, and with a dread on
the mind of some approaching calamity, as to be ren-
dered for some weeks quite incapable of attending to leis
duties. In this truly pitiable state he commenced the
use of this miraculous medicine, which in a fortnight re-
stored him to the highest enjoyment of health, and this
when physicians failed to afford the least relief. Soli (als°
Holloway's Ointment) at Professor Holloway's Esta-
blishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had
gratis), and by almost all respectable medicine vendors
throughout the civilised world.

attempting to pick the pockets of three different gentleme:
as they were leaving the Opera at the close of the rfpe
ance on Saturday night last. Lately a gang of six or eight,
pickpocks, waiting in concert, have committed a number of
daring depredations there.
John Legate, who described himself as an ivory-turner, was
charged with having been found on the premises of Lord
Francis Egerton, in Cleveland square, St. James's.
It appears that lately the pleasure-grounds surroundipg
his Lordship's house in Cleveland-square,,now being rebuilt?
have on several occasions been plundered of some
valuable roots, plants, and other property. Betw.eell
seven and eight o'clock this morning, as poll-
constable 191 of the E division was on duty on the spot. De
saw the prisoner within the garden inclosure, and as he Os
coming out he stopped him, carrying a basket, which Was
found to contain some roots and other articles, but scarcalf
of even nominal value.

The prisoner, on being called on for his defence, gavlA
very unsatisfactory account of himself, and was ordered, fn
the present, to be detained.

UNION-HALL.
The business of this morning was the heaviest that has
been known at this office for a number of years, the charges
amounting to upwards of seventy, which at once shows t",.
necessity for a second police-office, which is now in the court
of erection at Kennington. lane, and will be ready for business
at Michaelmas next. Independent of the above cases, there
is a very heavfcase of forgery against three foreigners, whi%
cannot-be disposed of until a late hour in the day, when sow"
important disclosures are expected to take place.
Frederick Taylor, charged with gambling on the Sabbelb
morning, was ordered to find sureties for his good be-
haviour for twelve months.
John Jackson was charged with stealing a horse Pi
cab, and coat, on the 20th of July last, the propertLr.
William Jackson, from the Spotted Dog in the Strand. Th
prosecutor intrusted the prisoner with his horse and cab whr
he went into the Spotted Dog to-get his breakfast, when te°
prisoner took an opportunity of driving away with the call,
and nothing further was heard of him for several days, when
the horse and cab was • found on the ranks in Blackfriars°
road, near the Running Horses. The coat had not since been
heard of. Information was sent to the police of the robberP
and the prisoner was taken into custody on Saturday night'
The prisoner was remanded for further evidence.
Mary Ann Brocksop was brought up in the custody °f
Police constable 127 M, charged with robbing her ready'
furnished lodgings, and plundering the house of several
articles of great value, all of which she pawned.—As there
were several other cases against the prisoner she was rf.
mended until Wednesday. The prisoner was not in ira°'
but plundered the house for the purpose of obtaining drink.

MARKET NEWS.—(YESTERDAY)
CORZT-EXCILANGE.
Factors were much more firm in their demands than i°r
some time past. For the finest descriptions of both red al'ti.
white English Wheat an advance of is per quarter was Ole-
rally required, but which the millers were unwilling to g 3";
however, the trade for that description of produce may be cos' '
sidered steady at prices quite equal to those of Monday last; 1
During the past week, duty has been paid in London on About
47,500 quarters of foreign Wheat. Of English Barley scarcelY
a parcel was brought forward. Malting and distilling sorb '
supported their value, but grinding descriptions were Is Pef
quarter lower. For Malt last week's figures were with ail"
culty supported. Beans and Peas at barely late rates. Flo!!

mitted to. In seeds no advance can be noticed in prices.
