The supply of Beasts on offer was, for the time of year,
moderately extensive, but of middling quality. For all
kinds the demand ruled heavy, and Monday's prices were
with difficulty supported. From Holland we received 66
Beasts, 60 Sheep, and 24 Calves ; from Scotland 100 Scots,
mostly in fair condition. The number of Sheep were larger
by 1,000 than those exhibited on this day se'anight. The
Mutton trade was very dull, and the rates had a downward
tendency. In Lambs, next to nothing was doing. at a de-
pression of 2d per 81bs. Calves moved off slowly, at late
rates. The value of Pigs was generally supported. Milch
Cows sold at from 16/. to 191. each, including their small Calf.

The accounts which have reached us from mid Kent are
to the effect that the bine is looking Very unpromi,ing ;
but from all other parts our advices are, comparativ,ly
speaking, favourable. For most kinds of Hops we have a
steady demand, at fully previous quotations. A pock, t of
new Hops, grown at Beckley, in Sussex, was Ott otter

COFFEE.—We have not had much doing in British Plan-
tation, and the common descriptions are not so well sup-
ported as the finer sorts. At auction 42 casks Jamaica sold

supply.

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)

COLLISION AT SEA.—This was an ucti in brought te
recover compensation for damages done to the City of
London steamer during a collision at sea.
Mr. JAMES appeared for the plaintiff, and stated the
case. The plaintiffs were owners of the above vessel,
which was a fine iron steamer, trading between Aber.
deen and London, and was nearly a new vessel, having
only made eight voyages. The damage for which com-
pensation was now sought occurred during the ..e.triy
part of the morning of the Bth of alb -
lust. When eff Orfordness, the watch on board
steamer perceived a collier beig, or strew, hearing- dee
upon her larboard ['own! a spanking rat.. It was ab
wo o'clock and hazy. The helm of the City of Londo.
was ported, which w, u,d have prevented the colli•ire
had the brig not altered her course. The brig wa calle
the vepring. He would ask the jury it some elf them tart
not observed that culti, rs passing Gravesend did nor go
at a greater rate, arid more carelessly, then any other
vessel ? Colliers having discharged their curgo went
back with onl, just sufficient ballast for the sail the)
iirtended to carry, and it was pretty well known
that homeward- bound colliers sacrificed almost
everything to expedition, and there yeas a wealth)
club, which paid all damage done or suffered by them.
Tne defendant had not denied his carelessness, and w:1-
fulness was nut imputed ; the only qu, stion was the
amount of damage sustained. It would be proved that
a proper watch had been kept on board the City of Lon-
don, but that when she was run into the tnizeu-mast
was knocked and the rigging of the jib-boom in-
jured ; the brig was also greatly damaged, as
she was going with a free wind, and the steamer
was going with great impetus, although the steam
had been shut off. The ultimate consequence was,
that the collier sunk whilst being towed into Harwich by
the City of London, and, unfortunately, from some acci-
dent, one of the crew of the collier was lost. The da-
mage done to the vessel was not the only loss sustained,
as the insurance had to be paid, and the craw who were
attached to the vessel were useless for 15 days, and one
voyage was lost. It would be shown that her average
net profits had been 2881. per voyage, and her
latter voyages had produced 3501. The Learned
Counsel then called several witnesses to prove that a
survey of the vessel had been made by order of the
magistrates at Aberdeen, and that the damages were up-
wards of 2004 She had been struck about fifty feet from
the stem on the larboard side.
The secretary and clerks to the Aberdeen Steam
Navigation Company proved the vessel belonged to the
Company, and the profit, as stated by the Learned
Counsel.
Captain Curgill admitted that they had been ran into
about an hour before the accident complained of, but the
bull of the vessel did not touch ; there was merely a
slightinjury done to the rigging.
Mr. FISH then addressed the jury for the defendants,
and, in the first instance, submitted that the plaintiffs
were only entitled to nominal damages, as the vessel
occasioning the damage had gone to the bottom. He
contended that this was according to the maritime law.
Mr. JAMES—That is in cases where the action is
brought against the ship.
The SECONDARY was of opinion that this objection
did not arply to this case.
Mr. Fisit said he could hardly expect the Learned
Secondary to decide in his favour on such a point, as it
was one which must in either case come before the court
above, and the defendants had been well anvised. The
point being held against him he shoulo go to the jury on
the question of damage-. surveyors api einted by proper
authority had been examined, and lie din I.ot intend tOr an
instant to question their juagieete, but he weuid leave it
to the jury wh, ther mere arrinage had been done by the
first eoihsiem than had been in evidence. Then.

last, the show of samples hire to-day was by no means largy,
yet fully- adequate to meet the wants of the buyers. On the
whole, the factors were firm, and would not submit to lower
terms; consequently, very little business was transacted, at
unaltered tigiiresi and a clearance was not effected. The
duty on Foreign IVileat having remained stationary at 18s,
very few parcels have been entered for home consumption!
this weak. For every description—free as well as in band—
the sale was very dull, yet. prices were unaltered. The im-
ports - hate amounted to 7,880 quarters. We had a
very limited show of Barley, the sale for which
was tolerably steady, at previous figures. There
was an increased supply of Malt offering, yet the sale
for it wing steady, at very full prices. A very large import of
Oats has taken plate from al-rroarl, viz.. 26,200 quarters; but
from our own coasts; as also from Ireland, scarcely any par-
cels came fitSh to hand. The Oat trade was extremely in-
active, and previodg fates were barely supported. Beaus,
Peas, and Flour moved off slowly, at unaltered figures. We
had a few parcels of new Seeds offering, in fair condition.
The Seed trade ruled dull, yet prices were not lower. The
accounts respecting the Seed crops aru somewhat more fa-
vourable.
