IHE BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS OF SYDNEY , NEW SOUTH WALES , TO THE BOOT AND i SHOEMAKERS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND : IRELAND . j Feilow Countrymen , —In consequence of the i master boot and shomakers of Sydney having Bent to " England a flittering circular dated the 27 th of Octoi ber , 1840 , one of the copits of which we have I received from London by one of our trade , i Robfcrt Mathews , late of the Old Biiley , London , puri porting to be a statement of the wages given for closing ' and making boots and shoes in this colony , who was 1 therefore induced to emigrate in order to better Mb condition . i On the arrival of Matbews he applied for work to i Mr . Sloman , -who -was at that time secretary to the ! society of master boot and shoemakers , but was told j by him that lie could not find work for the man assigned ! to him . Mathewa told Mr . Sloman that he brought a ! statement of the Sjduey wages with him . Slomzu : laughed and told him that was one of the statements i he "had sent home , and that he had sent them to all the i grinder ; shops he could ibink of in England , Ireland , j and Scotland . i The Government here are perfectly aware of the ; superabundance of boot and shoemakers in this colony and will not pay passage money for any tu wine out ; belonging to the trade . j The stopmates are probably not aware of the exten-: sivc importati 6 n of boots and shoes of all kinds—the quantity is SDfficient to SDpply the wants ef the inhabi-, tsuts solely . We have tnerefora to contend with the , imported work and the exorbitant demands of the landlord . Wo have left eur native homes where we : bad the society of our friends to sympathise with ns in our distress or afflictions , but the blessing of sympathy ¦ is a stranger to the shores of New Holland , and the ' , greater number of emigrants complain after their : , arrival "here that they have been deceived by the flatterj ing accounts that are circulated at home respecting this ' colony . A small house , containing three apartments , the weekly ¦ rent will not be less than £ 1 as . 0 d ; with four apart' ments , £ l 15 s . dd ., and it must be borne in mind that the market is liable to great fluctuations , as we depend ¦ as much on fereign prodnce for the staff of life as we do : on the produce of this coiony . The rate of the market i is as follows : — s . d . s . d . * Bread , the 21 b . loaf 0 6 Sufar per lb . ... 0 i B .-ef and Mutton Coffee per lb . ... 1 4 I per lb 0 5 Potatoes per lb .... 0 3 ^ i Pork per lb . 0 10 Cabbage per head 1 Bmter fresh per lb . 3 6 from Ito 3 I Cheese per lb . ... 1 C P < . as per peck ... 3 0 ; Oatmeal per lb . ... 0 0 All other vege-! Milk per quart from itoS tables equally Tea per lb 3 0 high ¦ Coming to a new coloiy , te a man who has a family ; in order to make a provision for them is , we must ! allow , a very commendable otject . The emigrant leaves his home with a view after a few year ' s haTd labour with the accumulation of his wages to purchase a portioa of land , thit he may sit down and end his days in ease and comfort , and see Ms family placed in in .-k-penfienceaio-Uiid him . Alas ! how ^ reathisdiappointment ; instead of baying land ha will find the calls of his ; family in providing them with food , raiment , and : skelter , more than what his earnings will amount to , net to sptak of education , which is h : gh in proportion ' with otter thteps . ¦ There are shoemakers at this time in Sydney who ; have large families , and who cannot gtt a seat of work . The unemployed single men are by far more numerous , and tke same systent of waiting the pleasure of the employers in getting work oat is pneisc-d here as much as in England . We have therefore thought it < rar indispensibie duty i to guird you f rem being duped as others have been by the Fpecious encouragements that are published at home . Trusting that this will be a warning to all shopmates , I We remain , respectfully youis , ; The Opebatiye Boot and Shoemakees op Sydney , New Sunu Wales . i PaTHJCK WH 1 I . E . ) . » .

( CIRCULAR ) OF THE OPERATIVE STONE MASOXS . Sydney , New South Wales , Oct . 28 th , 1841 . At a meeting yf delegates of all the trades held at the Crown and Anchor , Tavtrn , G-eorge-stmt , Sydney , on tfce 21 st October , 1841 . it was unai-imousiy agreed , that emigrants nad been deluded to this colony , by the Bounty Agent ? holding out such prospects to them , so as to cause many to emigrate here who are now in great distress , more particularly ia other trades than in oar owe .
There were not lees than thirty out of employ during the last six monies , out tf five hundred mason ? . Uur trade is not brisk at present , owirig to the go-vcrnniein public works being aone by prison labour , which was formerly done by government emigrants . But svaca emigranla have come oui in bounty ships they Lnve not been employed in goverument vrorks , but the day after their arrival they are left to pcriih in the streets , with their wives and families . We , therefore , beg of you of the Trades' Union , to petition Parliament to cause emigrants to come out in goYernment sliip 3 , as on their arrival they are employed by Government and provided with houses to live in uiitU they obtain ether employment .
Bevrare cf bounty esaii- ' ratiun , for it is only 3 delusion . Employment is scares , house rents high , and provisions dtar , as you ¦ will sea by thu fo ; lomug statement : —Our ¦ wages are frcm eight to nine sbi-licgs per day for competent ¦ workmen , with precarious tmphijnient . T . ' isre is no surety tf work more th ^ n a week at a time , as ths work hire is bo vr ry uncertaiu , coupled as they ara with very stringent laws between workmen and their employers , and entirely different to waat is enforced in Great Britain acd Ireland , as wo hare an aristocracy here who make laws to tuit . their own private ends , to tte detriment cf the working umn .
"We have here sent you a plain statement of the stale of ths Colony , which we hope you wiil take into your serious consideratiou , and th '_ n judge fjr yourseivts , whether to remain at tomi or emigrate to this Colony , tearing ia mind lhat you have to labour for eight months in tne year wide .- a vtrtical Bitn , with the following deduotiois from your wages , if yoa have employment , Tit , house rents for a man and his 'wife , ten shillings per week ; firewood , candles , and provisions , ¦ will average- two pounds per wetk . Single men wast pay at tha rate of one pound , ten shillings p * r -week . This iniut be furi-ished weekly , exclusive of clotbfcs aud tools , < kc . &z . Dear brothers , -sre > ave you to judge th 9 sb . ta of the poor labouring man , - who only gt ^ s at tha rate of four shillings per day , wlwn he has tmployment ; what must be his condition , - with the high rate of living ?
VTe will continue to held a monthly correspondtnct with you in future . Should things get better , you v / iil be made acquainted from time to time . We wish you ¦ la circulate this statement amongst the working c Jissua of Great Britain r . nd Ireland , to prevent the sad occurrences we have already witnessed . We wish you to b = particular in cut correspondence with you only in this ciicalar , as for the future we shall h&T 8 a stamp , so that you will know it is from our society , sis the masters ars in the babit of nofc only writing , bnt getting printed circulaca sett from this colony to Great Britain and Ireland , wiih false statements of the colony , trade , provisions , bouse rent , &c which . has caused aiany deluded emigrants to end their days on our shores , who migkt have seen better days in their native land . Thos . Turner , John Lyxch , Richard Mourn * .
The . Execution of t 3 e Murderkr Good . —Mr . Alderman and Sheriff Alagnay bad an interview on Monday with the Secretary of State for the Home Department , relative to the execution of Daniel Good . We undersa \ nd that Monday next , the " 23 d inst ., is fixed as the period of his earthly existence , when his life -will be sacrificed , as the penalty of his crime . Good still persists in the story told by him after his conviction . It is expected that his execution will draw together an immense concourse of idle fools . As much as £ 2 is said to have been already offered and refused for a single place to witness it . A report is current that he will be executed at Horsemouger-lane .

BAKNS&BY . —Visit op Mr . O'Connor . —Mr . O'Connor paid Mb long-expected visit to Barnsley , on Saturday last . The meeting was announced to beheld in the Odd Fellows' Hall , at eight o ' clock , bat long before that hoar the approaches to the town from the railway were thronged with dense masses of the working men , anxiously awaiting the arrival of the champion of their rights . Mr . O'Connor however did not arrive until nine o ' clock , when his appearance was hailed with a tremendous cheer ; he looked in excellent health and spirits , and as ready to battle with tyranny as three years ago , when he last visited Barnsley . The people now repaired to the hall which , which , in the course of a few minutes , was densely filled ; and from the
occasional interruption ot tae door , we Bhould say that a great number could not gain admiBssion . The extensive gallery was crowded by the fair eupsorters of the Charter . One striking feature in the meeting was the large number of Mr . O'Connor ' s countrymen , who in this town are preminently characterised by their firm adherence to the good cause . On the motion of Mr . Alirfield , Mr . Vallance was called to the caair , who , after a few remarks , gave way for Mr . Mirfield to move the first resolution , which wa 9 . *' as . * follows : — " That it is the opinion of this * meeting that the great distress at present pervading this once happy country is the result of class legislation , and that there is no hope of redress for the iudustrious
millions but m the People s Charter becoming the law of the land . " The resolution having been seconded , the chairman , then introduced Mr . O'Connor , who , on coming forward , was received with the most enthusiastic and tremendous cheers . Mr . O'Connor , after expressing the great pleasure he felt at again meeting his Barnsley friends , proceeded , in his usual forcible and eloquent manner , to comment upon the distress bo widely existing at the present time—the causes of that distress—the quack remedies proposed by the present Goverumeat—and lastly , the measures that must be adopted to save the nation from irretrievable ruin , and restore permanent happiness and prosperity to the industrious classes . Towards the
conclusion of his address , Mr . O'Connor alluded and replied to certain calumnies propagated against him in his absence by Mr . William Ashton , who has lately left Barneley for America . Mr . O'Connor's Etatemeuts gave general satisfaction , and after speaking an hour and a half , he sat down amidst the oft-repeated cheering of his delighted auditors . The first resolution was then put and earned unanimously . Mr . M . Segrave moved the second resolution— "That the Eincere thanks of this meeting are justly due , and hereby given , to our unflinching advocate , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., for his strenuous exertions in the cause of freedom and the rights of industry ; and this meeting declares that Mr . O'Connor ' s character shall never be lessened in their
esteem by the slander of any paid or interested miscreant , be he whom he may . " Mr . Eneas Daly seconded the resolution . Mr . George Julian Harney , from Sheffield , spoke in its support ; and after a few words from Mr . Ward , it was put and carried by acclamation . Mr . James Noble moved the . third resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Peier Hoey , and carried unanimously— " That the best thanks of this meeting are hereby given to the members of the late Convention , for the unanimity of purpose which characterised their deliberations in their advocacy of the rights of the people . " Mr . O'Connor returned thanks , and thanks having been voted to the Chairman , tne meeting dissolved . [ Mr . Harney took copious notes of Mr . O'Connor ' s speech , intending to furnish a lengthy and minute report of
the proceedings , but was prevented from doiugso by severe illness . ] IrONDON . —Listrict Cocncil . —After the usual preparatory business had been gone through , three shillings additional was received from Camberwell . for the Convention , and 5 i . 6 "d . from the Tailors ' , Three Doves .

The Children's Empi-otment Commission Report ;— " I will conolude this letter by a few words about the most extraordinary ,- inhuman , barbarous , bat truly philosophic speech , whioh was , as I believe , ever delivered ia the Bearing of human beings !—a speech in which the most terrible tortures , practised upon women , children , and infants in our coal-mines , were palliated and extenuated ! I deeply regret that the audience were British Peers ; I mourn that the speaker was a noble philosopher of our own county whose name was , when I was a youth , the spark which lit the hearts of patriots into a flame ! How are the mighty fallen!—how is the fine gold become dim ! What havoc has covetousness , ' that passion for accumalation , which has ao limits '— -what haroe
has that spell from the regions of darkness made on the character of our race ! How has it bratalised some even of our nobles ! That book of murder 'TheFirst Report of the Children ' s Employment Coiflmissioners , ' has caught the e ^ e of Earl Fitzwilliam : he has read it ; and having surrendered himself to the principles of philosophy , he does not shudder at its contents , but inhis place in the House of Lords , if he is not misreported , he has coolly asserted , amongst other things , ' That tho narrowness of some of the coal seams in some of the pits rendered it necessary that persons of small size ( why not say at onGe infants of three or four years old and upwards 1 ) should ; work them ! ' What would his Lordship think , if , when the tables are turned ( as probably , they soon will be under the
now tariff ) , his grandchildren should bo thus tortured and oppressedT The being who can palliate the crime of working infants , as they are described by the Commissioners to be worked in those narrow ' seams , ' may be a philosopher and a noble ! a man he cannot be ! Let my fate be what it may , I shall ever rejoico that God has counted me worthy to be an instrument in arousing the attention of the people and the Government to the condition of the infantile slaves , who are the foundation and the rinhappy victims of our grand manufacturing and commercial operations . ' The truth is how told—England knows it ; and although a , wise philosopher , a prqud Peer of Britain , may assert that it is ' necessary , ' justice pronounces it tO be A . DAMNING CRIME !" r—Oasllcr ' s Fleet Papers *
Trades' Unions . —The following address , published by the BlackburnChartists is worthy of serious consideration by artisans of the kingdom generally : — - " To the various trades and societies of Blackburn . —Friends ,-- 'It is time that all trades and societies were united in one great union s for the purpose of obtaining those ' - . political privileges which are your birthright ; those privileges which only can rjrise yovVto that position in society you ought to occupy , and which only can secare to you a fair equivalent for your labour * The object for which trades' unions were formed was to proteot tho labouring man , to keep up hig wages and to prevent his master from exercising an undue influence over him ; and on them thousands of working men have placed their
confidence . Have they realised the object for which they wero formed 1 kept up wages or protected the rights of the working man ! Let the impoverished condition of tho operatives of this country answer the questions ; they do indeed stand as bulwarks betwixt the oppressed and the oppressors , bat have failed of their intended effects . Has not reduction after reduction taken place in your wages ? your labour has been left unprotected by the laws , and in consequence has continually decreased in value New inventive powers of production which ought to be blessings to all classes of the community , have been but death peals to the hopes of the working man . The productive power of the country has inoreased to forty times the amount of the power in existence
m 1770 , yet the real producers , of wealth , the persons who have filled our markets and granaries , and glutted the country with abundance , are starving in the midst of plenty . The Btrange anomaly of too much of every thing , and privation and suffering , afflicts British society . Instead of the working man , after having produced all this abundance , beingable to enjoy tho fruits of his labour , or when old age creeps on to find a home among the green fields of his own native land , he is forced to emigrate to a foreign country , or be incarcerated in a bastilo . Friends , we conceive the cause of all the evils t © be class legislation , the interests of the few ^ are promoted in direct opposition to the interests of the manj ' . The working people have produced all those luxuries which exist in such abundance , but by not having a voice in forming the laws , th ^ y are pre vented from enjoying them , and taxation without representation is tyranny , and ought to be resisted .
Friends , the Charter has been projected and its golden letters displayed to the people , yet the mass have hesitated to advance ; if the trades would declare for the Charter , their high moral position , mental capacity , and general information would immediately insure its adoption . Arise then and organise ! rally round the standard of freedonr , strike at the root of our grievances ( clas 3 legislation ) make the Charter the law of the land , give labour its due reward , and England will yet be the admiration of the world , a model to surrounding nations ! Th' n let ; tho trades unite with the National Charter Association ; let one great blow be struck at the citadel of corruption 9-ild it will bury beneath its ruin the oppressor of the working man . The committee meet every Wednesday evening at Mr . Aspden ' s , the Temperance Hotel , Par wen-street , and any information required may beliad by applying at the above hotel . Signed on behalf of the Committee ' , j . Gibsbni Secretary . "

TO THE PEOPLE OF YORKSHIRE . My Dear Friends , —I have just addressed the men of Nottingham in the Market ; Square ; and when r conclude my week ' s labour , I shall have addressed the people of Lancashire , Yorkshire , Warwickshire ,, Leicestershire , Derbyshire , ' -. ( twice ) and Staffordshire , iu seven days ; that is , I shall have travelled , at least , one-fourth of England within that time ; and as I was to have been at H udders field on Monday , I must really , from absolute inability , claim a week's rest , and postpone my visit to Yorkshire till Monday week . The fatigue of travelling , writing , converaing with working men , and the exhaustion consequent upon speaking , and remaining in rooms hot as ovens for five or six hours a day , is more than a steel man could endure at this season of the year ; and I have the vanity to believe that my friends do not want to kill me .
I mean to be in Huddersfield on Monday week , the 30 h ; Halifax , Tuesday , 31 st ; Bradiord , WedneiSday , 1 st June ; Keighiey , Thursday , 2 nd ; Powsbuiy , Friqay ; and Todmorden or Hebden Bridge , ( the Association must arrange which , but being within two and a half miles of each other , both is too much ) on Saturday . On the following Monday , I place myself under the management of Beesley , for North Lancashire , for four days or a week , if possible . In the meantime , however , I am commissioned by the Char Lists of Nottingham to say that they consider my presence , from next week till the close of the election , as indispcnsible ; and have requested of me most urgently to make an appeal to those places io which I stand pledged for leave of absence , until ibe battle shall be fought here .
Vuu uiust know our exact position . Mr . Sturge arrived nere yescerday , and was met by upwards of 20 , 000 people , and upon mounting the platform in the midst of a dead and portentous silence , one of our Nottingham leaders , the brave Sweet , by order of the electors and non-electors put the question to Mr . Sturge , " Will y- » u vote for the Charter whole and entire ?" and to which Mr . Sturge answered , "I
unequivocally pledge mvsklf to tue SUPPORT OF EVERY PiUNCIPLE eONTAlNLD IN TUB PEOPLES CUAHTEIl ' . " A vast number of / Tories who doubted Mr . Sturge's real .. object in having adopted those principles , and who hoped for a laugh and triumph over Mr . Sturge and the Chartists , hung their heads , and grew pale , and sneaked off , amid Chartist cheers that rent the air . Tiio question was put to the Chartists of LeiceVter last night , in the Amphitheatre , whether or not FoarKus O'Connor should -go . to Nottingham to aid the .. Chartists in returning Mr . Sturge , when every hand was held up for going on the missiou , and not a single hand , of oourse , against it . We must bear in mind that Nottingham struck the las ; blow at Wliigyery ; and NottiBgham now aims tho flrsit blow . ' Toryism . . Every working man in Nptt ' i / : gliu-m , elector and non-elector , has pledged , his adherence to the Six points of the Charter , and to the support of Mr . Sturge .
And now , my ir . onds , just for a moment behold how my prophecy has been fulfilled . 1 have told you a thousand times over that the existence of three parties in the " state was incompatible with tho existence of peace , law , and order , and that sooner or later tho fight between Chartism and Toryism would be sure to come , but not till intriguing was annihilated . Here , then , is the fulfilment of myprophecy in the present position of Nottingham . Here , then , is the odium of Torji * Ea stripped from the back of Chartism , and here we fiad the ' . , battle between Toryism and Chartism ; and now the question is , whether any available aid should be withheld from the men of Noitirigham . - ' -. - ' / ...
The mechanism of elections the Chartists have not been much accustomed to , while I have conducted more fiercely contested elections than any living man . They consider the question as one of paramount importance , They do me the honour to suppose that my continuous presence would go far to ensure success ; and will those to whom I am pledged fora single speech , and whom I shall visit immediately after the victory is won—I ask , will they mar tie prospect of success for the mere difference of time J No , I cannot believe it j arid therefore it is that I and their friends of Nottingham make this appeal to those to whom I am pledged for leave to cbnrTibute my aid in the destruction ef Toryism . Should they concur , they will forthwith write to ma , addressed to Mr . John CleaTe ^ 1 , Shoelane , Fleet-Bti'eet , London , as I must makearrangemmts aceoidjwgly . It I am allowed to remain at

Nottingham , I wili fearlessly pledge myself for the result ; and also to save pur party some hundreds of poanda , to organise them , to keep the peace of the town , and to return Mr . Sturge ; and should we succeed at Nottingham , we at once establish the principles upon which the next general . election is to be directed , namely ,-that the contest is to be batween Chartism and Toryism , fray allow the honest non-electora of Nottingham to have one unpaid agent on their behalf . I wish for early
answers , as in the event of my remaining at Nottingham , I must make my own arrangements after my own fashion , while I feel convinced that the whole people of the town and neighbouring districts will hail with joy a compliaDca with their request s which I now make in the joint names of Your faithfnl friend , v FEARaus O'Connor , And yoftr anxioaa and devoted brethren j The Pbople of Nottingham and Pistrict
My Pear Friends , —I need say no more upon my own part , and upon the part of your brother Chartist's of Nottingham , than that compliance with the above joint request of Mr . O'Connor and the feople will be hailed by thousands with joy ; while have every reason to believe that it will ensure the triumph 6 f our principles .

Leeds Woqlien Markets . —We are still without excitisg oanse to revive the drooping commerce of this neighbourhood , and the transactions in business , to any extent j are very few and far between , at least so far as the Cloth Halls ate concerned ; but these , as we have said before , we do not look apon as a correct index of the real state of trade . In the " warehouses there is rather more animation , and perhaps there have been on the whole more goods taken out of the Halls during the week , than was the case in the week previous . Huddersfield Market , Tuesdatj May 17 . — Liltle business was transacted here to-daV , nor was there much looked for * The thought of having a good market appears to have deserted the manufacturers altogether . The town was crowded "all day with visitors to the fair , it being a general holiday , but the universal cry of no money was heard in every direction . ' ¦
Bradford Markets , Thursday , May 19 th . — Wool . —The transactions in this branoh of bur trade during the week are not materially altered from our last report . The spinners are still seeking areduction , which the Staplers are compelled to resist , seeing no chance to procure it from the grower at prices that admit of the cost of it 3 traneh to the consumer . — - Yarn . —The business done in Yarns is to a tolerable fair extent ; perhaps more might have been do ue had * the Spinners given way to the request of the buyers , but to do this is impossible , except at great sacrifice ; and as Yarns are now soldfor less than
was ever remembered , while Wool is still higher . An opinion is gaining groi ^ nd that Yarns have seen their lowest point , even though wool should recede further . Piece . —This being the Whitsuntide holiday , also aa extra session for the trial of prisoners ; our town has been very busy with idlers ; but in business matters no change of % material character has taken place . Orleans and Merinoes appear to have been going to a fair exknt , and we hope , before the expiration of many Weeks , the stock of manufactured goods ia tho market , which we learn is not heavy , will be much reduced .
LiyERFOOi . Corn Market , Monday , May 16 . — The imports of British Grain , Flour and Oatmeal , into this port during the last seven days , are very light ; and the arrivals from abroad are comprised in 6 , 311 qrs . of Wheat , 1 , 750 qrs . of Beans , and 2 , 700 barrels of Flour . At Tuesday ' s market there was a better sale for Wheat , and although some of the recently-imported Lower Baltic red waff sold rather lower—say 93 . 3 d . per 70 lbs . * prices generally rem&ined much the saHie as at the close of last week . The buisuess in that grain has been on a moderate scale , without causing variation in the quotations . The sales of Flour have been very much in retail at 3 ^ 3 . 6 d . to 353 . 6 d . for Canadian , and 35 s . 6 d . to 36 s . 6 d . per brl . for United States sweet . Withoat
anything lite activity in the demand , the scarcity of fiae Oats has put up their value id . to Id . per buahiel , and secondary rans are also held for rather more money . Oatmeal is quoted 3 d . to 6 d . per load dearer , but little has been done at the amendment . No change as regards Barley , Beans , or Peas . Considerable transactions have occurred in the bonded market ; a cargo of Barletta Wheat afloat has changed hands at 47 a . 6 J . per qr ., cost and freight ; two or three of Stettin red at 48 s . per qr . ^ free on board , and of fine white at Si . 2 J . per 70 lbs . delivered here ; Egyptian in store at Ss " . ; several parcels of common Odessa soft at 6 s . 3 d ,, and Polish Odessa at 63 . lid . per 701 W . A cargo of Egyptian Beans has also beea sold at I 85 . per 480 lbs . in store .
London Corn Market . —Monday , Mat 16 . —The supply of wheat was rather limited from Essex , moderate fair from Kent , but yery small from Suffolk , with only a limited show of barley , beans and peas ; from all these counties there were gobd fresh arrivals of oats , having several vessels in ft-bm our own coast and Ireland , in addition to a large supply during lasc week , a great portion of whioh remained over for this day ' s market . The importation of foreign wheat has been tolerably large since this day week . The weather has been variable during the past week , with occasional , heavy showers , but nights cold , and the wind is now to the northeast . There was a good demand for English wheat this morning at an advance of Is to 2 s . per
quarter on all fine qualities , pait \ cularly those which were fresh thrashed , and a fair steady sale for free foreign at an improvement of Is per quarter ! that in bond was held for full or even higher prices , and buyers are willing to take some quantity on former terms . Good marks of ship flour were quite as dear , and in- fair request . Barley brought last week's currency for distilling and grinding purposes . —Malt was without alteration in value . Beans and peas realized full as much money . Oats were held for last week ' s prices , which the consumers gave for good corn , whilst the large dealers are trying to get into stock on lower terms , having a good choice of English to select from , but the factors seem pretty firm , and have consequently checked sales .
London Smithfield Market , Monday , May 16 . —The supply of beasts in our market of to-day was , the time of year considered , moderately good , and , generally speaking , of fair , average quality— : here being a great comparative improvement apparent in the condition of the Scots , Davons , runts , Here * fords , shorthorns , and homebreds . From Norfolk and Suffolk , we received 1450 Scot 3 asd homebreds ; from others ofour grazng districts , 220 of various breeds ; from Scotland , by steamers , 300 Scots . Tha attendance of buyers being hot very numerous , the
beef trade was in a depressed state , and , in order to effect a clearance , a decline , in the currencies noted on Monday lastj of quite 2 d per 8 lb , was submitted to by the salesmen . The number of sheep was extensive , which produced much heaviness in the demand for them , and fcha rates suffered an abatement of quite 4 d per 8 lb ; the very highest figure obtained for the best Downs out of their wool , thoy being mostly all shorn , was 4 i 3 4 d per 81 b . From the Isle of Wight , 280 lamha came io hand by rail ^ way . The lamb trad © was heavy , at an abatement of quite 4 d per 8 lb . ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦
LiVERrpoL Cattle Market . . Monday , May 16 . — We have had rather a largeri supply of Cattle at market to-day than last week , but prices very high ' Beef 6 ld . to 7 d- ; Mutton 7 d . to 73 d .
