The foreign stock on sale to-day comprised 15 Beasts and
20 Sheep. The former sold at from 161 to 181, the latter
24s to 29s per head. Fromour northern grazing districts,
we received, fresh up to-day, about 2,000 Short horns ;
from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 300
Scots and Home-breds; from the Western and Midland
counties, 700 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c.; from other
parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotlam
200 horned and polled Scots; and from Ireland 30 Beasts
The numbers of Sheep were again very large, owing to
which the Mutton trade was excessively heavy. A fe%
of the primest Downs produced 4s per Blbs., but the
value of all other kinds of Sheep was decidedly lower.
There was a very dull sale for Calves, the supply o'
which was rather scanty, at barely last week's curren-
cies. In Pigs next to nothing was doing at late rates.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 3.—lt is nearly certain that the Go-
vernment will not ratify the sale of the British Queen.
M. Rademakes, Consul-General of Brasil in Belgium
and Holland, has received from his Government creden-
tials appointing him Minister at the residence of Queen
Pomare. He will soon set out for his destination.

A letter from Ghent of the 3d of October, says :
"Father Walle will shortly set out for Guatemala ; he
will be accompanied by Father Affenaer, and some other
members of the Society of Jesuits. The principal ob-
ject of their mission is to found a college there, and
afterwards to preach among the savage tribes."
It results from official accounts that the manufactures
of cambrics and lawns, formerly so flourishing in the
rural districts between Valenciennes and Cambray, and
which for a long series of years enriched the merchants
of those two cities, is declining from day to day. The
linen manufactories are almost superseded everywhere by
those of cotton. At the commencement of the Restora-

BRUSSELS, OCT. 4.—The Princess Mary left Ostend
this morning with 125 passengers. Notwithstanding the
tempestuous weather which has lately prevailed in the
Channel, this fine vessel arrived yesterday from Dover at
half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, having performed
the voyage in less than six hours. The passengers were
able to proceed to Brussels by the three o'clock train.

Although the weather during the past week has net
been to sae very favourable for shipments a large ar-
rival of slaughtered meat has taken place up to our
markets from various quarters, in but
.middling condi-
tion. This, together with the heavy supplies of London-
killed meat on offer, has caused the general demand to
rule extremely dull, and prices have, in most instances,
had a downward tendency, without effecting clearances.
There have been on sale about 20 carcases of Dutch
beasts, and 25 ditto of sheep. The former, from their
inferior quality, have with difficulty produced from 2s 8d
to 2s 10d, the latter 23 10d to 3s per Blbs.; prices far from
remunerative.

PRIVY COUNCIL.—Sir Robert Peel, Lord Aber-
deen, the Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, and also some

afternoon, on their way to Windsor Castle, to
attend the Privy Council appointed to be held by her
Majesty at half-past two o'clock. At the Council

BOROUGH AND SPXTAX.PIELDB.
During the week about 200 tons of Potatoes have come
to hand from the Channel Islands, and 700 ditto from
Kent, Essex, &c., in good condition. The demand for
most qualities is steady, at prices varying from 2115 s to
51 per ton. Some large supplies may be shortly expected.
BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
The supply of New Hops, from picking having been
brought to a general conclusion, on sale here is extensive;
yet we have to report an improvement in the demand,
and prices may be considered somewhat higher for the
finest coloury parcels of Kent and Sussex. For yearling
and the best old Hops, we have a steady inquiry, at very
full prices. Very little is doing in the duty, which is
calltd 130,0001. The following are present rates:-
1844's—Kent pockets, 718 s to 818 s; Choice Mid Kent
ditto, 919 s to 11/ I Is; Sussex ditto, 71 to 71 12s. 1843's

WOOL MARKET.
The imports of Wool during the past week have been
only on a moderate scale, they having been but about
600 bales chiefly from Germany. The public sales which
have been in progress since our last, have been well at-
tended by buyers, owing to which most of the parcels
offered, and which have comprised about 15,000 bales,
have been disposed of at full prices, if we except the
lowest qualities being considered the turn lower. The
average quotations have ruled as follows :—Van Die-
man's Land (clean sheep's), is 4d to 2s ; ditto Lambs',
Is 3d to 2s 4d ; ditto greasy, 9id to is 6d ; skin, is 3d

Sheeps', is 3d to Is 7d ; Lambs', is 4d to Is Bid ; Ger-
man Sheeps', Is 3d to Is 5d ; Lambs', is sd, to is 6d per
lb. The whole of the Buenos Ayres has been with-
drawn. These sales are expected to be brought to a
conclusion the latter
in most
the present week. Privately
a fair business is doing most kinds of Wool at pre-
vious rates.

DICTIONAIRE NATIONAL FRANCAIS.— The num-
bers which have already issued of this critical dictionary
of the French language are sufficient to found upon
them the judgment that, when completed, it will form
not only a most valuable work, as comprising all the new
and acklowledged words lately introduced into the French
tongue, but a repertory of the critical and analytical
notes of all the other most esteemed dictionaries. M.
Bescherelle, Aine, the author, has evidently bestowed on
it great labour and attention, as well as talent ; and his
Majesty the King of the French never showed greater
judgment than when he took this great national literary
work under his immediate patronage. The publishers,
M. Simon, Rue des Fosses du Temple I Paris, and
Messrs. L. and A. Ber and f Blenheim-street, in
this city, have every reason to Co.,'be satified with the suc-
cess of this undertaking.
Film AT WESTMINSTER.—Last evening, shortly
after seven o'clock, a fire, which at one time threatened
very serious consequences, broke out in the premises in
the occupancy of Mr. Leight, grocer and cheesemonger,
carrying on business at No. 14, Abingdon-street, West-
minster, next door to Messrs. Noble's pianoforte show-
rooms. The fire was first discovered by an aged female,
in the upper part of the building, in consequence of
hearing a loud crackling noise, evidently arising from
wood undergoing the process of combustion. She in-
stantly made for the shop, but on getting down the stairs
she was nearly suffocated with the smoke. By dint of
great exertion she succeeded in reaching the street,
when she gave the necessary alarm. The parish-engine
was quickly on the spot, and was got to work, and was
followed by six or eight brigade engines with strong
bodies of firemen, who succeeded, after much trouble, in
confining the fire to the lower part of the premises. The
damage, notwithstanding, is very considerable, nearly the
whole of the stock in trade in the shop being destroyed.
The origin of the fire, or whether or not Mr. Leight is-
insured, could not be ascertained.
EXPLOSION or GAS.—Yesterday the neighbour •
hood of Bow-lane, Cheapside, was thrown into a state
of great excitement in consequence of an explosion of
gas taking place in the excavation made in that thorough-
fare for forming a new sewer. It seems that shortly be-
fore two o'clock the inhabitants were aroused by hearing
loud cries of fire raised. Upon throwing open their
windows they perceived that a space of ground was send-
ing forth large sheets of fire. At first sight it appeared
as if the basement of their houses were in flames. The
alarm thus created may be more easily imagined than
described. Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the
brigade, with a powerful body of his men, promptly
attended with three engines. From the nature of the fire
it was found useless in putting the engines to work ;
the firemen, therefore, threw large quantities of mould
upon the gas-pipes, but they were unable to get the fire
out until the servants of the Gaa Company came and shut
off the further supply of gas.
IMPROVEMENTS IN WESTMINSTER.---The ground
behind Emanuel Hospital is now being cleared fur the
intended improvements, which will extend from the
Standard in the Vauxhall-bridge-road to Westminster
Abbey, through Mr. Elliot's pleasure-grounds, that large
plot of ground belonging to the above hospital, down
Chapel-street, to the principal entrance into the Abbey.
The Lord Mayor and Aldermen are determined to spare
no expense to improve this charity property.
The Archbishop of York has presented the Rev.
Francis Orpen Morris, 8.A., of Worcester College, Ox-
ford, and Chaplain to his Grace the Duke of Cleveland,
to the vicarage of Nafferton, Yorkshire.
