and C0w5,.428 Sheep, and 3 Calves, by steamers from Rot-
terdam. The Oxen and Sheep have come to hand in very
middling condition ; but the Cows are of considerably im-
proved quality. There were on offer 174 Oxen and Cows,
together with 396 Sheep, chiefly from Holland. The foriner
were chiefly disposed of at from 14/ lOs to 18/ 5s ; the latter

The arrivals of beasts, from our own grazing districts,
fresh up this morning, were again extensive; but, generally
speaking, of middling quality. For the primest Scots, &c.,
the demand was steady, at fully last week's quotations, viz.
from 3s 10d to 4s per Blbs : but the middling and inferior
breeds were a slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices.
Fiom the northern counties, we received about 1,600 short-

_ .
horns;~from the eastern districts, 300 Scots, home-breds and
short-horns; from the western and midland counties, 500
Herefords, Devons, runts, &c. ; from other parts of England,
500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 90 Scots ; and, from
Ireland, 100 Beasts. The numbers of Sheep were but mode-
rate. The best half-breds sold steadily. With other breeds,
the trade was inactive. In prices, we can notice no altera-
tion. For Calves, the numbers of which were by no means
large, we bad a slow sale, at Friday's currencies. Pigs were
in good request, and prices were well supported.

NEWGATE AND ZEADENNAIM,
For the time of year the arrivals of slaughtered Meat up
,o our market from all quarters continue limited, but of full
average quality. The supplies of Beef killed in the metro-
polis being somewhat extensive, the sale for it is in a sluggish
state, at barely previous quotations. Mutton, Veal, and
Pork are in short supply and ready demand, at very full
prices. A few carcases of Dutch Beasts and Sheep have
been disposed of on low terms, arising from inferiority of
quality.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFZELDS.
In the past week about 800 tons of Potatoes have arrived
at the water side from Scotland and our own coasts. The
demand rules steady, at prices varying from 31 103 to 4110 s
per to:

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Comparatively speaking, the supplies of New Hops are
small, owing to which, the somewhat unfavourable accounts
from the plantations, and to most of the brewers being short
of stock, a large business is doing, at improving prices. The
duty is called 160,0001.

WOOL.
The imports of Wool during the past week have amounted
to about 2,000 bales, 1,277 being from New South
Wales. The public sales in progress since our last
have been well attended by buyers, and nearly the
whole of the parcels offered have sold, at prices fully equal
to those paid at the previous auctions. Privately a good
business is doing in English Wools, but foreign and colonial
qualities command very little attention.
TALLOW.
This market is without any material alteration. The
price is quoted higher in consequence of the non-arrival of
the vessels now on their passage from St. Petersburgh, several
of which have been for weeks past in the Sound. There are
altogether between London and St. Petersburgh, up to the
last date from thence (29th September), about 24,000 casks,
The price of Yellow Candle up to the end of the year, is
41s 91 to 425, and for the Spring months, 435. Town Tallow
dearer, it being 41s 6d to 42s nett cash.

BANKRUPTCY-{THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
HODGSON V. COOKE.
In this case the party was summoned to show cause wby
he did not pay a judgment debt and costs.
Mr. LLOYD took an objection to the summons on the
ground that, according to the particulars of the plaintiff's
demand, the name, address, and place of business, was not
fully set out. The name was merely in initials, and no ad-
dress added. Mr. Lloyd contended that the 20th Rule of
Court had not been complied with ; and, inasmuch as the
particulars of demand were irregular, the summons must also
be irregular.
Mr. BucHANAN, for the plaintiff, admitted the rule, but
the Act of Parliament was altogether silent upon the subject.
Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD said the Court must be
bound by the rules ; he therefore held the objection to be
fatal, and dismissed the petition.
Mr. LLOYD then applied for costs, but the Court declined
to giant them.

RANELAGH SUSPENSION BRIDGE

A Company has been brought forward for the construe-
tion of a bridge across the Thames, from a point between
Chelsea Hospital and the Grosvernor Canal, to the Surrey
shore near the Red House, at Battersea. The necessity of
such a structure, as a public work, is now very generally
admitted, a...d the distance between Vauxhall and Batter-
sea bridges is very great, and includes an immense mass of
buildings and a large population. The Commissioners of
Metropolitan Improvements, indeed, in their plans accom-
panying their report to the House of Commons, on proposed
improvements in this district, have laid down roads, appa-
rently with the express view of leading to a communication
with the Surrey side of the river, at the point proposed by
the promoters of the Ranelagh Bridge.
The proposed bridge is intended to be upon the suspension
principle. Instead of the old plan of erecting two piers in
the waterway, supporting a centre chain of great span,
there wall be only one pier in the river, midway between the
two shores. and a great saving will consequently be effected
in pile driving, masonry, &c. ; whilst the two chains will
not be of any considerable length, and consequently, as the
strain will be less, they may either be made to bear a greater
weight, or they may be safely constructed with a smaller
quantity of iron than under the old system. The arrange-
ment of the structure, although very simple and obvious, is,
we believe, entirely novel, and is worthy of the rising repu-
tation of the engineer, Mr. Bird. The expenses for ap-
proaches will be very trifling. On the Middlesex side there
is very little to be done, and such property ai it will be
necessary to purchase on either side of the river is vacant,
and of comparatively little value, and consequently, the item
of compensations, usually so large in concerns of this nature,
cannot in any event amount to any considerable sum,
especially as all the parties are favourable to the undertaking,
on account of the great increase which it will create in the
value of all property in the locality.
The capital proposed is 90,000/. which is sufficient to pro-
vide amply for the whole of the works to be executed and
for every necessary expense, particularly as there is no pros-
pect of any Parliamentary opposition. To a very considerable
population it will afford peculiar conveniences, and look-
ing at the immense district for which it will provide
increased accommodation, we have no doubt the concern will
yield very ample returns on the capital engaged in it. Ac-
cording to the best calculations, based upon the returns of
the neighbouring bridges, the tolls will not be less than
8,0007., being about nine per cent. upon the proposed capital,
part of which may very probably not be required.. The tolls
will be so much clear profit, as the out-goings after the com-
pletion of the bridge will be very small, and will be met by
the dues arising from a steam-boat pier in the centre of the
river, which forms part of the project. On the development
of the traffic under the cheap toll system, the produce will
probably amount to a much larger sum.
It is a most important advantage for the scheme that it has
the approval and support, not only of the owners of property
affected, but also of the Lords Commissioners of Chelsea
Hospital, and in consequence of the safe passage of the Com-
pany's Bill through Parliament may be looked forward to as
certain. In conclusion, we must observe, that whilst the
works will be constructed on perfectly safe and substantial
principles, the capital is very small in proportion to the pro-
bable dividends to be derived from the undertaking, and we
can confidently recommend it to such of our readers as may
be looking out for a solid, remunerative, and permanent in-
vestment.—Railway Times.

steer her in this, and then her backers may look to her being
handy at the finish.
Cowl pays, I believe, in his match with Vaudeville.
In the four matches which follow, I should take Poor
Soldier in preference to Hemp, Sorella to Cataract, The
Cob to Oakley (as he has very great speed for a mile, as was
displayed in his race for the Hunt Cup at Ascot, and in his
match with the Cure), and Sir Frances to Britannia.
-On Wednesday there is only a Sweepstakes of 200 soya.
between Comrade, Vaudeville, and Prolouge, and a match
between Celia and Espoir set down; but the list will, no
doubt, be considerably, increased before the day.' The Sweep-
stakes look best for Vaudeville, and in the match I prefer
Garryowen.
On Thursday, in the Bretley, I think the Black Cat and
Ennui will be found the best of the field. Lord Glasgow's
colt, I imagine, will be beaten in each of his matches, certainly
in that one between him and the Cobweb colt.
On Friday most of the performers in the Clearwell will re-
appear when the bell is rung for the Prendergast, but as the
running in the former will materially operate in the result of
this race, I shall merely observe that as far as my judgment
goes, Lord George's or Lord Chesterfield's is most likely to
own the winner of the Prendergast.
Five matches and, the Coffee-Room Stakes concludes the
week's sport. In the first, between Miss Elis and Cinizelli,
I like the former best. In the second, between Prolouge and
Deodara, I recommend my friends to stand on the former.
Thetbird, between My Mary and Vaudeville, should be won
by the former. Ido not think in the next, which is between
Comrade and The Slane colt, that the latter has a chance;
nor in the last, between old Oakley and Hartshorn, would I
stand on the former.
