On reference to our returns below it will be observed that
the arrivals of country-killed meat up to these markets since
this day se'nnight have been seasonably good, but a large
portion, owing to the prevailing warm weather, has come to
hand much out of condition, and consequently been disposed of
at miserably low rates. The supplies of meat slaughtered in
the metropolis have been, the time of year considered, tole-
rably extensive, yet the demand has ruled, comparatively
speaking, steady at in most transactions, if we except those
of the inferior qualities of Beef and Pork, full prices.

WOOL MARKET.
The public sales of Wool held since our last have been
well attended by buyers. At their commencement the bid-
dings were not very animated, and prices even hardly main-
tained. However, as they have proceeded they have become
brisk, at in some instances higher figures. The sales will be
brought to a close on Thursday next. Privately a fair busi-
ness is doing, both in English and Foreign, at late rates. The
imports for the past week have amounted to nearly 4,000
packages.

TALLOW IVIAILICET.
This market is the same, the prices are unaltered, and bu-
siness dull. The advices received from. St. Petersburgh are
up to the 13th instant. Prices then were the same as the
two or three previous posts. 111 to 114 roubles, making
the cost down here, 43s to 43s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow is
40s ad nett cash.

BOROUGH AND SPITAXMIELDS.
Such is the limited business doing in old Potatoes—the
supplies of which on offer are smaller—that it is difficult to
give accurate figures. However they may be considered to
range from 60a to 85s per ton. New potatoes are in good
supply and active demand, at from 7s to 15s per cwt.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
We have again to report the receipt of very unfavourable
reports from Sussex, and several parts of the Weald of Kent,
where the bine is looking very unhealthy, and where it is now
evident but few hops can be produced. The Worcester dis-
trict and the best parts of East and mid Kent promise a
good return. The duty is called 145,000/. For most kinds of
Hops the demand is in a very sluggish state, and prices are
barely supported. Sussex pockets, 5/ 18s to 61 lOs ; Weald
of Kent ditto, 615 s to 71; Middling Kent ditto, 71 to 91 15a;
Ditto bags, 71 to 81 5s ; East Kent pockets, 71 to 91; Choice
ditto, 101 to 121.

THE SUNKEN WRECK IN RAMSEY BAY.

Ramsey, Isle of Man, July 17, 1844.
Sir,—On Friday last I went out, in a boat, three miles in
the bay, and succeeded in bringing the wreck of a vessel
(supposed to be the Alexander M'Niel, of Stranraer, lost in
March last) nearly on shore, her mast-head being a most
dangerous obstruction m the way of the navigation.

To W. Dobson, Esq., Lloyd's,

THE ISTHMUS OF SUEZ.—The arrival of the Go-
vernor-General of India in Egypt, on his overland route, is
an event not to be passed without notice. We have read
with great interest that Sir Henry Hardinge has had an in-
terview with Mahomed Ali, and no doubt made that liberal-
minded Prince see the mutual benefits Egypt and England must
derive from a close and friendly intercourse. The day cannot be
far distant when the Mediterranean and Red Sea shall be
united, if not by a canal, by ft railway, which may be said
to unite even seas together, almost as effectively as if the
waters of one flowed into the other. We anticipate that,
ere long, we shall have a convention with Egypt for the
conveyance of our regiments from the Mediterranean to
the Red Sea, and thence to India, thus enabling us to
send in about two months, or six weeks on an emergency,
a European force to our empire in the East. Instead
of conveying our soldiers round the Cape at an enormous
expense, our regiments could, after a proper seasoning in
the Mediterranean, be moved on to India, and vice versa, as
required, when a railway had been completed, as we trust is
now determined on. The visit of Sir Henry Hardinge to the
Pacha, we conceive will do much -good; and as the begin-
ning of a friendly arrangement, for still greater facility and
celerity of transit through Egypt, we cannot too highly esti-
mate the wisdom of the Governor-General's laying the basis
of the negotiations for that object.—Naval and Military
Gazette.

IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANTS TO NEW ORLEANS.—
By advices from her Majesty's Consul at New Orleans, it
appears that the yellow fever had been singularly destructive
of life among emigrants arriving from Europe during the
sickly season of the autumn of the year. The Commissioners
of Emigration have issued a notice warning persons of the
danger, and apprising them that in order to avoid it they
ought not to be induced to start from this country during
the months of Juno, July, August, and September.
DEATH Or DOCTOR HASLAM.—On Saturday morn-
ing, at half-past eight o'clock, John Haslam, M.D., died at
his house in Lamb's Conduit-street, in the Blst year of his
ase. The doctor was distinguished for the cure and allevia-
tion of diseases of the mind, and has left behind him many
valuable works upon this melancholy subject. He was an
excellent scholar, ,a witty and cheerful companion, and a
most zealous and sincere friend ;
.and his Memory will be
long cherished by a nurnef:ous class of friends and admirers.
We are happy to notice the improvement that has
taken place in-the receipts of the Rhenish Railway, amount-•
ing to about 400,000 f., in the first six months of this year
compared with 1843. In the first six months of 1844, the
receipt was 214,122 dollars ; ditto, 1843, 113,762 dollars ;
increase in 1844, 100,3110 dollars. The receipts iu June, 1844,
were 22,230 dollars more than in June, 1843.
