MARKET NE*A.-(T

HIS-DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE--MONDAY.

Nots ithstanding the returns show rather an ex tensive ar-
ri% al of English Wheat for the last week, the stands were
by no means heavily supplied with samples, owing, in some
measure, to the receipts just up being on a very mode-
rate scale. A large portion of the Wheat being some-
what out of condition, from the effects of the prevailing
damp weather, and the attendance of buyers—most of
whom were•short of stock-goods—the demand for the
finest qualities was firm, at prices fully equal to those
obtained on this day se'nnight ; indeed, in some few in-
stances, a trifling advance-was paid for such descriptions,
In the middling and inferior kinds of both red and white
a steady business was doing, at fully previous rates.
The show of samples of free Foreign Wheat was not
large, while we have to report a very steady inquiry for
that description of grain, and full currencies were ob-
tained without difficulty. Barley, especially malting
kinds, was in active request ; but we have no further
improvement to notice in its value,. which was well
maintained. There was a free sale for Malt, and nearly
the whole on offer found 'buyers, at fully last week's
quotations. The Oat trade was rather slow, at low
rates, a ith a limited supply on the stands. In Beans,
Peas, and Flour, not much was doing, and prices re•
mained unaltered.

Our market was on the whole but moderately supplied
with Bcasts the time of year considered, but their qua-
lity was very superior to that which we have noticed in

many previous Corresponding markets at this season.
Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather
we had a large number of buyers in attendance, owing
to which the Beef trade was active, at an advance on the
currencies obtained on this day se'nnight, of from 2d to:4d
per 81bs, and at that improved value a clearance was
easily effected. Although a few very superior Scots
found purchasers at 4s 4d, we consider the highest gene-
ral figure for Beef not. to have exceeded 4s 2d per Sibs.
The northern droves of beasts were composed of about
1,600 short horns. Those from the western and mid-
land districts comprised 450 Herefords, Devons, Herts,
Scots, &c. From other parts of England, we received
350 of various breeds ; from [reland, 30 beasts, and from
Scotland, 90 horned and polled Scots. As to sheep, they
came rather freely to hand, and, for the most part, in
excellent condition. The butchers, however, were cau-
tious in their purchases ; hence the mutton trade must
be considered dull, though last Week's quotations were
well supported—prime old Downs realizing quite 4s 8d
per Sibs. The numbers of calves were about equal to
meet the wants of the dealers, . and nearly, or quite, the
whole of them were di4posed of at Friday's advanced
rates. The Pork trade was rather active, and the rates
were quite as high as those on this day se'nnight.
During the past week, no importations of live stock have
taken place for our market, and we had none on sale here
to-day.

Notwithstanding a very great falling off has taken
place in the receipts of country-killed meat up to these
markets during the past week, the supplies from most
quarters have been seasonably large, and, comparatively
speaking, of fair average quality. Although the supply
of Lvndon-killed meat has been good, the trade with
most descriptions—but especially with the best Beef,
Mutton, and Pork--has Puled steady; and prices have
been firmly supported.

TALLOW.
The Tallow Market has continued in a sluggish state.
The quotation in our statement is the exact price for
small parcels of Y.C. on the spot, while the price for
January and . February is 41s. The actual stock is
37,500 casks, including two or three vessels yet to ar-
rive. Town Tallow is plentiful, and the price 40s net
cash. Melted stuff, 30s ; rough ditto; 19s.
BOROUGH AD SPrrAisrIELDS.
A fair average
.quantity of Potatoes has reached the
water-side during the weak. Although the weather has
continued mild, prime qualities have been in demand at
full prices. In other kinds of Potatoes, however, very
little has been doing.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
We have still to report a very steady demand for all
descriptions of new Hops, and prices, in some instances,
are looking upward ; indeed, many parties have with-
drawn their samples altogether from the market, under
the impression that the higher rates will be obtained
within a few weeks. The quantity of Hops on offer is,
therefore, unusually small. In old Hops, the quotations
of which are uncertain, very little is doing.
WOOL MARKET.
Since this day se'nnight, the imports of foreign and
colonial Wool have been on a very moderate scale. As
is almost invariably the case at this period of the year,
the demand for most descriptions of Wool is heavy, yet
we have noticed no alteration in prices.

BRIGHTON.
(From the Brighton Herald of Saturday.)
The London contractor, Mr. Reynolds, of Bayswater,
who out-bid all the Brighton builders for the completion
of Mr. George Robins's recent purchase, the mansion
at Kvirp Town, is proceeding at a railroad pace in his
task. He is bound under a heavy fine to finish it for oc-
cupation in tour months.

The mansion of the Hon. Hanbury Tracy was 'the
scene of a brilliant entertainment on Thursday evening,
a gr-Cat portion of the rank, fashion, and elegance of the
town being their assembled. Madame Oury contributed
to the gratification of the evening by the display of her
unrivalled talents ; and the extraordinary performances
of Mr. Love were called into requisition, and afforded
the greatest pleasure, the entr6 acts being enlivened by
the sparkling music of Kirchner. Among the company
present were her Grace the Duchess of Somerset, Lady
Shaw Stewart, Lady Grenville, Lady Charlemont, Lord
and Lady George Seymour, Lady Lowley, Lord and,
Lady Petre, Sir Matthew Tierney,, and the Hon. Gen.
Sir A. Upton. •

Mr. Charles Kean plays flex Friday evening at our
theatr?, previously to his appearance at Drury-lane.
Mrs. George Robins's sable muff, left by mistake at
the Old Ship after Madame 'Michau's academy was over
on the 18th inst., has not come to light. It has unluckily
got into bad hands. A. reward of a guinea, it would
seem, is not enough to tempt the dishonest possessor to
exercise the redeeming virtue of repentance. We can
only say let them adopt the old maxim of " better late
than never." By this course their character will be only
slightly damaged.
A Sheriff's Court was held at the Town Hall yester-
day morning, before W. Furner, Esq., Deputy-Sheriff,
for the trial of two actions. The first was Bernard r.
W. Lucas, for the sum of 7/. 17s. 3d., which plaintiff, a
blacksmith and shoesmith, alleged to be due to him by
defendant, a greengrocer, for repairs done to a cart, and
for shoeing his horses, in 1842. Several witnesses were
called in proof of the debt, and the jury returned a ver-
dict for the plaintiff for the full atnount.—There was a
second case of Dobie v. Richard, which was a claim for
51. for a quarter's rent of a house in Market-street. The
defendant pleaded payment, and put in a stamped
receipt, which Mr. Dobie admitted to be his handwriting.
In reply to this, Mr. Dobie's boy was called, who swore,
on being sent to the defendant With a receipt, the defen-
dant put it into his pocket, and promised to call and pay,
but he did not do so, and on being subsequently called
upon, he refused to give up either the money or the
receipt. In support of the boy's statement, a hair-
dresscr, named Richard Allen, was called, and he de-
posed that the defendant, in a conversation with him
about three months ago, told him he had obtained a re-
ceipt fur his rent without paying the money. This was
the plaintiff's case ; and Mr. Bennett, in reply, pointed
out that the receipt which the boy swore the defendant
took from him rdout the 29th September, was dated on
the 12th October. The jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff.
A meeting of the Brighton Anti-Corn-law Association
took place, on Thursday evening last, at the Sussex
Coffee House, Prince Albert-street, when, the association
was re-instituted for the year 1844. Colonel Trickey
was appointed treasurer •, the Rev. Jas. Edwarde, hon.
s •c. ; and F. Carter, clerk. A Committee of Manage-.
ment was also appointed. The Association meets again
on Thursday_ next, and on the first Thursday in every
month throughout the year:

HAYMARKET THEATRE.---Madame Vestris and
Mr. C. Mathews re-appeared here on Saturday evening,
after a short absence, arising from circumstances which
have been already stated to the public. The performances
were the lively burletta of Patter r'. Clatter, and the Little
Devil, The reception of Mr. and Mrs. Mathews %las
warm arid cordial, and must have been most gratifying
to both. The Gambols of Puck with the Elf King Obe-
ron, by Professor Risley and his clever son, Le Petite
Mercur é, were as successful and delightful as ever ; and
the varied performances of the evening concluded with
the delightful musical fairy extravaganza of the Fair One
with the Golden Locks.

We are authorised to state that the report of the
intended resignation by Sir John Rae Reid of his seat
in Parliament, for this borough, is without foundation.—
Dover Telegraph.
