NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

From Scotland, Yorkshire, and the west of Eng-
land, very large supplies of, slaughtered meat have
come to hand since this day se'nnight, for the most
part owing to the mildness of the weather, in very
middling and inferior conditions ; and, in order to
effect clearances, the salesmen have, in many instances,
been compelled to accept of nominally low rates, in-
volving, in several cases, a severe loss to the owners.
The quantity of London killed meat, on offer, has
proved large, yet the finest qualities have ruled
tolerably steady, at about stationary prices, but,
otherwise, the trade has proved dull, and the curren-
cies have had a downward tendency.

SMITZIPIELD.
On the near approach of the great Christmas market,
which will be held here on Monday next, the 12th
inst., a very decided improvement is almost invariably
apparent in the general quality of the stock exhibited
for sale, especially as relates to the beasts ; but we
have to intimate that, notwithstanding there were
some few very superior Devons; runts, Scots,
Herefords, and old Sussex, including a few
other breeds, on offer, extremely well made up,
the supply this morning was, the time of year
considered, beneath an average, yet, that expected for
next week, will, doubtless, be very prime. As to the
foreign supplies, nothing fresh was exhibited, there
being only a few Spanish and Hamburgh beasts
brought forward the refuse of last week's supply;
they commanded very little attention, and even with
difficulty disposed of at miserably low prices. The
imports in London and the outports since our last, as
will be seen by the annexed returns, have been small.
From our grazing districts our bullock receipts to-
day were as follow :-2,360 short horns, runts, and
Irish beasts, from Lincolnshire, Leicestershare, North-
amptonshire, &c. ' • 100 Scots, &c., froth Norfolk, Suf-
folk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire ; 400 Herefords,
Devons, runts, and Irish beasts, from our Western
and, Midland Counties ; 200 of different kinds from
other parts of England; 30 horned and polled
Scots, but chiefly the latter, by a steamer
from Aberdeen ; and 90 beasts from Dublin,
via railway. Although our number of Beasts
was much about the sane as were those exhibited
on this day se'nnight, we have again to report a very
slugyish inquiry for them. however, as the finest
qualities. were again scarce, the prices of that

scription were maintained
4s
..4d per 81bs ; bat -to effect clearances of other

:oils a decline of about 2d per 81bs vas
submit' ed to by the salesmen. The supply of she ,p
has be n considerably on the increase, which has a
very depressing influence upon the mutton trade, aid
in most instances the quotations rated 2d per Blbs
lower than last week, and several lots left the market
unsold. The inquiry for Veal was dull at drooping
currences, say of 2d per 81bs. Pr.rne small Por.iet s
were quite as dear, but large Ross m;ght have been
purchased on easier terms.
