MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
During the past week the arrivals of all kinds of grain
up to our markets, eoe.stwise as well as by land carriage,
were, compared with those of some previous period; ra-
ther limited, but of full average quality. Fresh up only
a moderate quantity of wheat, nearly the whole of which
was of the present year's growth, came to hand from
Essex and Kent, as well as Suffolk; hence the stands were
rather scantily filled with samples of that grain. The
attendance of millers being numerous, the finest qualities
of English wheat were in somewhat active request, at
fully, in some instances a trifle beyond, the prices ob-
tained on Monday last, at which the whole was disposed
of. In all other descriptions a steady business was doing
and last week's currencies were readily supported. • Ail
fears respecting the harvest may now be considered as at
an end, for, with the exception of a few patches of oats
and beans, in the most northern districts, the whole of
the grain has been secured in England.
The quantity of free Foreign Wheat on offer was by no
means large ; indeed, many speculators have withdrawn
their samples from the market fur the present. For
most descriptions of that article the sale was steady, at
prices fully equal to those paid on this day se'nnight.
Bonded Grain, however, was a mere drug, and almost
nominal in value. Of English Barley the show was not
large, but the supply of foreign was tolerably extensive.
The trade was, on the whole, steady, particularly with
the best English malting parcels, and prices were well
supported. The supply of Malt was by no means large,
and most of the parcels found buyers at full currencies.
Of Oats the show was extremely small, in consequence
of the non-arrival of the vessels from Ireland. Ali kinds
moved off freely, and last week's rates were freely paid
by the dealers, who took nearly the whole of the arrivals.
Beans, of all kinds, were in steady inquiry at full quo-
tations. In Peas but little was doing, yet prices were
supported. The Flour trade was rather dull, at late
rates. Linseed and Rapeseed were in demand at full
prices. In other kinds of seeds but little was doing.

There was exhibited one of the largest bullock sup-
plies almost ever recollected to have been brought for-
vvard at this period of the year, not less than 1,900 short
horns haring been received from the northern counties,
with comparatively larger arrivals from other quarters.
Notwithstanding, however, the extent of the supply, the
increase of which has, unquestionably, been caused prin-
cipally from the shortness of winter keep, its general
quality was tolerably good, while very few instances of
disease were noticed amongst any breed. The attendance
of both London and country buyers was numerous, yet
the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state. However,
the primest sorts were disposed of at 3s 10d per 81bs,
being 2d under the quotations obtained on Monday last.
All other kinds of beasts—a clearance of which was not
effected—suffered fully that amount of depression, with
a very heavy sale. During the past week the
imports of foreign stock have been large, they
having amounted to 80 oxen and cows, together
with 15 sheep, in the port of London from Rot-
terdam ; 12 oxen and cows at Hull, from Hamburgh ;
and 4 oxen at Southampton, from Spain. The supply
here to-day, was composed of 30 Dutch beasts, in the
quality of which a slight improvement over previous im-
portations was noticed. The prices obtained varied from
181 to 191 each. The above, added to previous arrivals,
makes the total imports this year as under :
London 1,400 oxen and cows.

Of Sheep, about 360 head have come to, hand in the
course of the season. From Lincolnshire, Leicester-
shire, and Northamptonshire we received 1,900 short
horns ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, 400 Scots and Dome-breds ; from
the western and midland counties, 600 iferefords,
Devons, runts, &c. ; from other parts of England 400 of
various breeds ; from Scotland 200 horned and polled
Scots ; and from Ireland 40 Beasts. The numbers of
sheep were again rather extensive, owing to which, and
the dead markets being well supplied with Mutton, the
demand for this kind of stock was very inactive. In
some few instances the prirnest Downs found buyers at
the prices obtained on Monday last, or from 3s 10d to 4s
per 81bs ; but the value of all other breeds declined
quite 2d per Sibs. Lambs being now quite out of season,
we have discontinued to quote them. The supply of
Calves was good, while the Veal trade was in a very
depressed state, at barely stationary prices. Prime

istIONITGATN:
As is usually the case at this time of year, the arrivals
of slaughtered meat from Scotland, and most parts of
England, are on the increase, while a decided improve-
ment is noticed in their general quality. Owing to the
large supplies of meat killed in the metropolis, the de-
mand has somewhat fallen off. However, the primest
Beef, Mutton, and Pork, have sold at very full prices ;
but the value of all other kinds of meat has been with
difficulty supported. Lamb being now out of season,
we have ceased to quote that description of meat.

WOOL DIANALET.
The series of sales, which commenced on Tuesday
last, and which have been in progress during the whole
of the week, have, notwithstanding the quantity to be
offered, amounting to 23,000 bides, been well attended by
dealers. The quantity put up at auction since our last
has comprised 5,300 packages, about 5,000 of NV hick
have sold at prices quite equal to those obtained at the
previous auctions. These sales will not be brought to a
conclusion before the 9th of October. The imports for
the week hare been only about 800 bales. Privately
very little is doing at late rates.

There is rather an extensive supply of New Hops
on offer in our market, but V. very small portion is of
good quality. Selected samples are in demand, at rather
impreed quotations; but other kinds are a dull sale.
In Yearling and good Old Hops a fair business is doing,
at late rates. New Kent pockets are selling at from

The arrivals of Potatoes at the waterside since our
last report have been rather limited—they not having
exceeded 260 tons, 90 being from Jersey. The sup-
plies offering, however, are seasonably good, and we
have a fair demand at from 2115 s to Si 108 per ton.
TALLOW DEARZET.
This market continues in the same dull state in
iViiieh it has been for some time past, and although
the arrivals are small, compared with the two last
years, still prices show no tendency to advance. As
the cold weather approaches the consumption will in-
crease, and then probably prices will advance. Town
Tallow is in good demand.

DRA-VV Ilti G of the HEPTAPRZEMION.
(THIS DAY.)
The drawing of the Heptaprtemion (the distribution
on the plan of the Art-Union of the Bowyer Gallery, the
property of Mrs. Parkes), took place this morning at Co-
vent-garden Theatre. The doors were opened at ten o'clock,
and the dress-boxes and upper circle were almost imme-
diately occupied by elegantly dressed ladies. The pit WAS
also well filled, and there were on the stage several ladies
and gentlemen, amongst whom we noticed James Barmen,
Esq., who appeared to takes great interest in the proceed-
ings. F. Stone, Esq., was called to the chair shortly
before eleven o'clock, and the drawing commenced-
Several hundred pound prizes were drawn during the early
part of the morning ; but it was not until nearly one
o'clock that a higher prize was drawn, when the an-
nouncement that one of the 1501. prizes had fallen to the
lot of the holder of ticket 10,891 was received with loud
cheering.
During the course of the morning ticket 4,824 was
drawn a prize of 7001. This is the grand prize of the
distribution.

The drawing had not concluded when we went to preen•

BOYS' FINE ARTS DISTRII3TJ
TION.-(THIS DAY.)

-----
The drawing for prizes in this lottery, under Lord
Monteagle's Act of last session, took place this day et
the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street. The great
room was crowded with a very fashionable company lopf
before the time of drawing—two o'clock.
Mr. Elderton was called to the chair upon a show er
hands. He said that before he made any observation
relative to the object of their meeting, he would via
upon one of the members of the Committee to examine
the wheels, and ascertain that there was nothing in therm•
The wheels were then examined by Mr. Brook, 15
member of the Committee, who pronounced that they
were empty and of a perfectly fair construction.
The CHAIRMAN said be had now to state the measure;
which had been taken, to secure a fair chance for every'
subscriber. A committee of ten gentlemen had been
appointed to superintend the proceedings, and they,
having examined both the pictures and the tickets, de-
livered to him (the Chairman) a certificate, sleet'
by each of them, to the effect that the prizes
were of the value ascribed to them in the
catalogue, and that the tickets were all correct.
In order to prevent unnecessary occupation of time,
the same number of tickets only would be drawn as
there were prizes in the wheel, so that subscribers should
not have the, annoyance of hearing their numbers pro--
xst blank. --(A 1...8h It woo due to the-
meeting to state what improvements Mr. Boys had made
in the original plan for the benefit of the subscribers.
He was originally pressed into this course of disposing
of his works by lottery, in consequence of the proceed-
ings of the art-unions. In his former scheme

the number of tickets disposed of was consi-
derably less, and consequently the prizes drawn
were fewer than was originally intended. A great num-
ber of prizes remained on hand, for which it was Mr.
Boys' intention to hare a second drawing. But in the
course of the progress of that plan, the proceedings of
Art-Union were interrupted by a notice from the Govern-
ment that they were illegal. That difficulty had since been
removed, and Mr. Boys had enlarged his scheme by the
addition of 208 prizes, value of 4,2ool.—(Applause.) The
additional tickets were only 2,648, whilst the
increased value of the prizes was four thou-
sand guineas.—(Applause.) As the meeting was 00
unanimous in expressing satisfaction with the conduct of
Mr. Boys, he would occupy no more of their time than
to state that amongst the prizes were nine of 100
guineas value, nine of 50 guineas, ten of 25 guises!,
and numerous others of 15 and 10 guineas each•
—(Hear, hear.) This mode of disposing of his
pictures was forced upon Mr. Boys by the Art-Unicns,
which, although they gave great encouragement to artists
who painted pictures, were a great injury to published
and engravers.—(Hear, hear,) Two ladies had kindli
undertaken to draw the tickets and prizes, and would
now proceed to do so.—(Applause and laughter.)
The ladies came forward, and the drawing commenced•
