MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.)
During the past week, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals
of all descriptions of Grain—both British and foreign—for our
market were on a very moderate scale, if we except those of
Malt. Fresh up scarcely any English Wheat came to
hand, either coastwise or by land carriage; hence the show
of samples of that produce was extremely small. Owing,
however, to the comparatively thin atteadance of buyers,
the trade was by no means brisk; yet, in some few instances,
a trifling advance was paid for selected qualities of both red
and white. In other qualities, only a moderate business
was transacted, yet the quotations were firmly sup-
ported. From the whole Of our grain districts, the
accounts respecting the appearance of the winter,
wheats are quite as favourable as could be expected.
The_ quantity of free foreign Wheat brought forward was
limited. Selected parcels were in better request, at very full
prices. In other kinds, we have scarcely a transaction to
notice. A few sales of Oats, under lock, took place ; but in
all other kinds of Grain in bond, next to nothing was passing.
Although the supply of Barley was small, that article met a
dull inquiry, at barely last week's quotations. The show of
Malt was good. The best kinds were held firmly, at full
prices, but all other qualities were a mere drug. The best
potatoe Oats produced a trifle more money. Other parcels,
which were in short supply, were quite as dear. Grey Peas
were a trifle /dearer. Other Peas quite as dear. Beans and
Flour a slow inquiry.

SMITHFXELD.

In the past week the imports of live stock from abroad
have: consisted of about fifty Oxen and Cows, by steamer,
from Rotterdam. These arrivals having proved of very su-
perior quality—although some of them were slightly affected
with the prevailing epidemic—they have commanded a
steady inquiry, at improved currencies—some of them having
changed hands at 291 per head. We had on sale only ten
foreign Beasts, the above importations being mostly disposed
of on Friday last. Fresh up from our own grazing counties,
only moderate time-of-year supplies of Beasts came to hand
to-day, there being about 200 less on offer than on this day
se'nnight, while a decided falling off was apparent in their
general quality. The dead markets being well cleared of their
late arrivals, and the attendance of both town and country
buyers numerous, the Beef trade was somewhat active, at an
improvement in the currencies obtained on Monday last of
2d per 81bs, the primest Scots readily producing 4s to 4s 2d
per 81bs, at which a good clearance was effected. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received
about 1,600 Scots and Homebreds ; while the receipts from
the Northern grazing districts amounted to 200 Short-horns;
from the Western and Midland Counties, 400 Herefords,
Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England 300 of
various breeds ; and from Scotland 90 horned and polled
Scots, the remainder of the bullock supply being chiefly
derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
The numbers of sheep were moderately extensive, yet a
scarcity of really prime old Downs was noticed. The
Mutton trade was, on the whole, active, at an enhancement on
last week's figures of 2d per Bibs, the primest old Downs
realising 4s 8d per Blbs. From the Tele of Wight 76 Lambs
came fresh to band per railway, while from other quarters
the receipts were moderate. The lamb trade was firm at
prices fully equal to those obtained on Friday. The supply
of Calves was small yet the Veal trade was dull, at barely
stationary prices. In Pigs we have very few transactions
to report, and the quotations were with difficulty supported.

The receipts of country-slaughtered Meat for these markets,
during the past week, have been seasonably extensive, and of
fair average quality. The supplies on offer killed in the me-
tropolis, have proved moderately good, yet, on the whole, an
improvement must be reported in the demand for all descrip-
tions of prime meat at full prices. In other kinds, rather more
business has been transacted, at late rates. Several carcases

of &reign Beasts have been brought forward; the quality being
good, they have produced full currencies.

WOOL 112.11.11. NET.
The imports of Wool into London in the past week haVe
been small. In the private contract market only a liraited
business has been transacted in foreign Wools, yet prices
have been steadily supported. For English qualities there ill
more inquiry, at fully previous currencies. No public sales
are yet announced.
TALLOW
This market is still very dull, and prices are on the decline
both on the spot and for the autumn. The delivery for the
past week is a fair average one, compared with that of th
last four or five years. It is quite impossible for us to give
an opinion as to prices of Tallow for future delivery ; the very
extraordinary changes now in progress in the metropolis in
the manufacture and composition of candles precludes us
from venturing a statement on this point. New Y. C. i 5 385

25, the former an itinerant dealer in poultry, and the latter
labourer, pleaded guilty to breaking into the house of Charles

disturbed in their depredations by some of Mr. Pilcher'
family, and made a precipitate retreat with the above-menu
tioned property.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN sentenced them to two year? ite"
prisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction.
STEALING LETTERS.—Edward Spicer, a mail guard,
39, who who was convicted last week of stealing a letter con-
taining property of the value of 201., was sentenced to trans'

was indicted for stealing a mare, value 311. lOs., the property
of Charles Bevan, Esq., a barrister, of Lincoln's Inn, on the
31st of August, 1843.
It appeared that the prisoner, who was in the employment
of Miss Savile, livery-stable-keeper, of Fetter-lane, was al:
rected by Mr. Bevan to take the mare in question on that
day to Tattersall's, that she might be sold on the following
Monday. He never went, having absconded from his enl
ployment and sold the mare on the 21st of September to gr•
Webb, stable-keeper, of Gray's Inn-lane, for 161. 10s., givig
him a recefpt in the name of Mr. Bevan's clerk. Since thss
period he had not been heard of, until the 3d of March last'
when he was taken into custody at Cambridge, by Police'
sergeant Russell, 207 City Police, to whom he stated that
left London immediately after disposing of the mare, and had
not returned since, and that he spent the money in a fort-

night's " spree."
The
.jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to 00°
year's imprisonment and hard labour.

the property of his mistress, Mrs. Shipley, a lady residing 3il
Brompton, in whose service he had been for the last seve
years as butler,' at a salary of fifty guineas a year. It 0'
peared that he had pledged the articles at different peril
and had expended upwards of 501. in paying the mter.°o
upon them. He was strongly recommended to mercy by
prosecutrix on account of his long services and hitherto irrL
proachable character. It appeared that he had a wife, I"'
was now enceinte, and several children.
Mr. Baron PLATT, after a suitable address, sentenced hill
to two years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House °
Correction.
