To-day there were only six oxen on offer from Rotten
dam, but they commanded very little attention, and only
realised from 111 lOs to 151 5a each. The Bullock
droves from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and North-
amptonshire, consisted of 1,600 short horns. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, there
were received 400 Scots and homebreds ; from
the western and midland districts, 450 Herefords, runts,
Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 380 of various
kinds; from Scotland, 260 horned and polled Scots; and
from Ireland, 60 beasts. The supply of Sheep being
again very large, the Mutton trade was in a depressed
state. However, in some instances, the primest Downs
sold at last week's quotations, or from 3s 10d to 4s, but
the general currencies suffered a decline of quite 2d per
Blbs. As is almost invariably the case at this season,
the Lamb trade was very dull at almost nominal figures.
The Veal trade was again heavy, and the quotations had
a downward tendency. Pigs were a mere drug, but not
cheaper.

BOROUGH AND SPITAMPIELDS.
For the time of the year, the supplies of Potatoes
continue extensive, yet the demand is in a very active
state, at full prices—or from 41 to 61 per ton.

BOROUGH HOP maiticArr.
From nearly or quite the whole of the plantations, the
accounts onmo more favourable. In parts of Kent and
Sussex, picking has already commenced, and we have
had a few pockets from the former county in fair condi-
tion, and which have found buyers, at from 9/. to 101.

barely supported. The duty has advanced to 130,000/

WOOL in.a.R.E.ET.
Further additions have been again made to the stocks
of Colonial Wool in London, the imports from New
South Wales during the week having amounted to 1,800
bales. Of Foreign Woola the arrivals have been rather
limited, viz., GOO bales. No public sales are as yet an-
nounced, but auctions are looked forward to about th,
middle or latter end of the present month. For English
the demand has ruled rather inactive since this day
se'nnight, yet prices have been supported. lioreign
Wool has also been a slow sale ; but in Colonial, espe•
cially
in the finest qualities, a larger business is doing.

TALLOW MARKET.
This market continues firm, and the demand a fair
one for the time of year. The last arrivals from St.
Petersburgh brought us rather easier prices, wieh more
inclination on the part of the Russians to sell. Up to
the 20th of August, the shipments were 10,000 casks less
than last year ; and of the quantity already dispatched
to Great Britain, there is only about half the number of
casks to the same period last year. Town Tallow 40s 6d
to 41s, nett cash.

DREADFUL FIRE AT ITANIDURGII.--400 HOUSES
DESTROVED.—OD the 9th of this month a fire broke out
in a narrow street near a theatre, and spd with such
rapidity to the higher part of the city, that in a few hour.,
about 400 houses, among which are many of the finest
in the city, were reduced to ashes.—Humburgh Borscn-
'tulle, Aug. 30.
The Deptford Theatre after having undergone ex-
tensive repairs, is about to, be opened by Mr. Cockerill,
the clever comedian of the New Strand Theatre. A Mr.
W. J. Buckstone, an aspirant to dramatic fame, will
make his debut there.
NAVIGATION OF THE THAMES.—On Saturday the
new regulations that have been agreed upon by the
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and the Court of Aldermen
came into operation, respecting steamers or steam-vessels
going up and down the river Thames. No S.eam-boat
is henceforth allowed to go at a greater rate of speed
between Teddington Lock, in the parish of Ham, in the
county of Surrey, and Staines, in the county of Middle.
