Diflbrence since ourlast
Uxbridge, of a son.
DOELOUGEE AND SPXTALFIELDS.
There are now scarcely any old Potatoes on sale, and no
prices can be quoted with accuracy. New Potatoes—the
supply of which is large—command a ready sale, at from
4/ 10s to 6/ per ton.
BOROUGH HOP DIARXXIT.
The market here is somewhat firmer, and the duty is now
calculated at from 140,0001., to 145,000/.

WOOL MARIEET.
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 MARKET.
Again to-day we have to report this market without any
change, either on the spot or prospectively; business, as to
speculative transactions, there is none, and the demand is
very limited, owing chiefly to the weather being warm, and
the supply of home Tallow good. Town Tallow is 40s 6d
nett cash.

OPENING OF THE OYSTER SEASON.—This morning
(Monday), at six o'clock, the opening of the market at Bil-
lingsgate; for the sale of oysters for the season, took place in
the customary manner. The supply was very limited, as
compared with the quantity brought to shore some few
years ago; but, in our opinion, quite as great as it was last
season on the opening morning. A fleet of twenty-nine boats
came up the river during yesterday. There were this morn-
ing but few of the calleis, or common oyster, the principal
cargoes, consisting of Cheyne Rock, Old Barley Natives,
Barley Rocks, and Native French. The commoner kind of
fish fetched from 10s. to 14s. per bushel, the intermediate
qualities 145., while the best realised 16s. The demand was
exceedingly slack, not more than half the stock being sold
out by ten o'clock. With respect to the prospects of the
season, it is the opinion of several salesmen, that
the general supply will be better than that of last
year, and that the quality, from the care which
was throughout the last twelve months taken of the
beds, will be found far superior. Prices, probably, will
not be attended with much variation. The arrangements
made by G. Goldham, Esq., Clerk of the Market, for the
safety of the persons of buyers and the lives and limbs of all
itrties, cannot be too highly estimated by the public. At
ungerford Market the supply was moderate, and the de-
mand appeared brisker than at Billingsgate, several of the
West-end fishmongers having made their purchases there.
Prices the same.

ST. MARYLEBONE.—TRN POOR-LAW COMMIS..
SIONERS:A meeting pf the St. Marylebone Vestry was held
on Saturday, for the purpose of considering the recent in-
terference of the Poor-law Commissioners, and their
threatened intention of issuing rules, orders, and regula-
tions, for the management of 'Marylebone Workhouse. Mr.
Lo*e having been called to the chair, the correspondence
between the directors and guardians and Poor-
law Commissioners, as also the evidence taken some
time since before the Commissioners, at Fladong's Hotel,
was read, and, after some discussion, ordered to be printed
and circulated throughout the parish. The following
resolutions were then proposed by Mr. Soden, and
carried unanimously " That this vestry hear with ex-
treme surprise the threat of the Poor-law Commissioners
to issue orders for the management of the poor of this
parish, and thereby entirely subvert the principle of local
self-government by a law not only unconstitutonal but
grounded on injustice, unsuited to the wants and in-
suiting to the feelings of the deserving poor, most expensive
in its machinery, and entirely inoperative for any general
good."—" That the thanks of this Board be given to the Di-
rectors and Guardians for the very great ability displayed in
their answer to the Poor-law Commissioners."—" That the
vestry cordially agree with every word of such answer, and
hereby express their entire confidence in the Board of Direc-
tors and Guardians, and urge upon them to use eve!), legiti-
mate means in their power to prevent any inroadsbemg made
by the Poor-law Commissioners."
NEW BRIDGE AT COLOGNE.—A letter from Co-
logne, of the 27th ult., states that the Government is about
to erect a double bridge at that city across the Rhine, which
will be unique of its kind. The two structures will be placed
one over the other, the height of the upper one being 144
feet above the river. The lower bridge will be traversed by
the railroad from Berlin to Cologne ; the upper one will be
for horses, carriages and foot passengers. In the vacant
space between the bridges will be placed Paixhans guns for
the purpose of breaking the ice in the river when necessary,
and of defending the city of Cologne in case of siege. Baron
Cristian de Hartmann, the engineer, will be entrusted with
the erection of this work,
