The girl was instantly carried down the river , vainly striving with a full cense of danger to make to the side , and a number of individuals made unavailing efforts to reach the object of solicitude . At the watering place , Bank-street , one man ' s

      life was fairly risked to save her , and but for the prompt and energetic assistance of the bystanders he would to all appearance have perished by his temerity .

      Mercury , The French Marine Mimster has asked for £ 240 , 000—five millions of francs—for the expense of establishments at the Marquesas and Tahiti . He estimated the annual expense at £ 100 . 000 a-year . The f » rce to be sent was 1 , 200 men . The Minister declared , that the Marquesas first occupied were bo little fertile as to be scarce able to provide for the wants of the French whalers , which were to crowd the Pacific . When the Iethmus of Panama was cut through , the Marquesas would be one of the most important stations of tbe globe . Even at present the islands would be useful entrepots of merchandise . Thty would be open to all imports , save arms and ammunition . " For a long time , " said Admiral Roussin , " English missionaries have been established in the Society Islands , and to their effortB ,

      which preceded those of our own missionaries , if owing the more advanced state of civilization in Tahiti . The good which they have done , and may yet do , gives them a right to the protection of the French Government . This they shall have in all their plenitnde . On the other hand , we are happy to think that French influence will find in these foreign missionaries auxiliaries devoid te the cause of civilization , which it is the great object to defend . " A coarser piece of irony than this we have not read or heard for a long time . That Admiral Roussin could utter it without bursting into a laugh shows that the diplomatist had a full command of his nerves . ' We are certain that no seminarist or congregationist m Tahiti can read it without holding kiB sides . For the poor English missionaries , however , it is too bitter a joke . —Morning

      Chronicle . Railway Accident . — An accident occurred on tbe Manchester and Birmingham line of railway at Stockport on Friday night week . The sufferer is a labouring man named Luke Shore , residing at Stockport , and the accident he has met with , which is likely to cost him his life , occurred solely from his own intemperance and folly . On tbe evening in question he got drunk , aad on leaving the publichouse at which he had been drinking , went a distance from his home to the Edgley tunnel of the Manchester and Birmingham railway , where he fell asleep , with bis right arm across tbe rail , and the

      luggage train which leaves Manchester at a quarter past eleven passed over his arm , and inflicted some serious injuries on bis bead . It would appear that the mas was so stupid that tbe accident did not awake him , as he was found still asleep between three and four o ' clock on Saturday morning . He was conveyed to the Stockport Infirmary , when it was found necessary to amputate his arm above the elbow . He was much cut on the head , from which injuries his life is ooni-idered somewhat in dangtr . There is no road across the railway near this point , and Shore most have climbed over some railing to have got in the tunnel where the accident occurred .

Glasgow Assjzes . —Conviction of a Husband for the Murder op his Wipe . —In the Circuit ^ u J of . » oiary , at Glasgow , on Friday last , Charles Maekay was charged with the crime of murder , in so far as on the 18 th d » K 4 f December .

      ia 42 , he attacked and assaulted CatherilfM'Kechnie his wife , which violence terminated in her death . Ino prisoner pleaded Guilty , ' but not with intent to murder . " This plea was rejected by the Advocate Depute , and the case went to trial . After the examination of Beveral witnesses , Lord Meadowbank summed ap the evidence , and the jury having retired about twenty minutes , returned with a verdict , finding Maekay , guilty as libelled . Lord Meadowbank then assumed the black cap , and in the mosc solemn mauner sentenced the prisoner to be executed on Thursday , the 18 th day of May next . The prisoner during the time the sentence was being passed stood , and exhibited considerable fivtnnesa . The court was much orowded daring the trial .

      A Gang op Murderers . —The Kilkenny papers give an account of the capture of a formidable banditti who within six months committed the most appalling murders in that and the neighbouring counties . It appears there is evidence to shew that they murdered the late Mr . George Haly , of Johnstown , And after that set fire to the body , to destroy all traces of the murder , They also murdered Mr . Mortimer , in Freshford , having hired themselves for a sum of money for that purpose ; they shot General Kearney ' s steward , butchered a poor farmer named Hoyne , at noon-day , ia his own yard , and they closed their singular career by attempting to assassinate Mr . Shee .

      Explosion at , a Firework Manufactory . —Another of those alarming accidents which so frequently occur in buildings of the above description took place on Monday afternoon , shortly after five o'clock in Regent-street , Lambeth-walk , on the premises occupied by Mr . Ralph Fenwiok , firework manufacturer , and pyrotechnical astist , by which one poor man , named Jamea Field , sustained such frightful injuries as to render his death a matter of certainty , and two others , the one a son of Mr . Fenvrick and the other a workman in his employ , were dreadfully burnt in various parts of their bodies .

      Massacre or the Governor of the Marquesas Islands and Suite . —We regret to state that very melancholy intelligence has just been brought to this country from the new Frenoh settlement in the Pacific by a merchant vessel , the Sarah Ann schooner , which left Otaheite oa the 23 rd of October , It appears that the Frenoh Governor of the Marquesas with fourteen attendants , had been on a visit to the native King , Niohaevar , where they had been hospitably entertained , and suspecting uo danger , they left his residence to return to the French station without probably taking proper precaution against

      the treachery of the natives . They were attacked on the way , and the Governor and fourteen persons were killed . Tt . it ) unfortunate event proves the unfriendly disposition of the natives ; but what will it avail them i The French Government will instantly send out a sufficient force to crush all pposition , and finally deprive the King and every person in authority in those islands of every semblance of power . It may also hare an injurious effect on the relations between the French Proteotor of Otaheite and the inhabitants . It is , therefore , an eveut deeply to be regretted . —London Paper .

      The following painful fact has been given us by an undoubted authority . A gentleman , whose name we refrain from mentioning , had lately lived in the neighbourhood of Llandogo , whose whole time and energies were employed in doing good to his indigent fellow creatures . Amongst other acts of benefioence , he founded and maintained a large school for the poor , and was in the constant habit of visiting their abodes and administering to them both temporal and spiritual assistance . Some of the members and companions of the notorious Bantwm band determined to rob this excellent man ; their lawless threats were reported to him , and such was the effoot of the intimation on him , who had no * oaoon to suspect having an enemy in the wide world , that it actually caused an illness which haa terminated in the destruction of his reason , and he ia at this moment within the wards of a lunatio asylam . — Monmouthshire Merlin .

      The Law of Aerest again !—Attempt at Suicide . —A respectable gentleman , named Taylor , a ^ ed Hpwards of seventy years , who fills the situation of valuator to the South Dublin Union , was arrested on Thursday last upon a Sheriff ' s writ . He was coaduoted , in custody of two bailiffs , to the Four Courts' Marshals ©* , Thomas-street , at three o ' clock , and , while the deputy governor , into whose oharge he was given , was making out the requisite receipt for the sheriff's officers , Mr . T * ylor , who was standing in the batch , furtively took a penknife out of his pocket , and drawing the blade , inflicted therewith a severe wound across his throat , in the direction of the left jaw . Doctor Benson , the physician of the prison waa called in , and rendered prompt and effective assistance to the sufferer , who is now in a fair way to recovery . He appears , however , to be afflicted with great despondency , and threatens to repeat his dreadful attempt whenever a fitting opportuuity may occur . —Dublin Monitor .

      Four Men Drowned . —Oa Saturday , about noon , most of the Oystermouth boats employed m the oyster fishery put off to sea , the wind at the time blowing rather fresh , and among others the Sarah and Raohel , with her orew , namely , David John ( master ) , Thomas Davies , Noah Joues , aud John Evans . They had scarcely left their moorings half an hour when tbe alarm was given by the coastguard men at the look out station , that a boat had beeD , upset in the mixen pool by a 6 quall of wind , and the crew lost . Instantly three or four Neath pilots put out to sea to render all the assistance in their power . Some time necessarily elapsed ere they reached the spot , and when they did reach it , after much exertion , owing to the violence of the wind , which by this time had risen to a high gale , they only saw the boat and a few spars—the unfortunate tbe Neath

      crew had disappeared . At length pilots succeeded in fastening the Sarah and . Rachel to their own boat , and in towing her to the Mumble-roads . David John haa lefB a widow near her confinement , and a family of six young children . Thomas Davies has also left a widow and six young children . Noah Jones and ( John Evans were single men . The last named young man was a stranger in the Mumbles and merely accompanied the party from motives of curiosity . He wan to have been married on Friday ( to-day ) . Their bodies have not yet been found , that part of the channel where they went down being unasually deep . It is said that the accident may to a certain extent , be attributed to the want of caution exhibited by the captain ( David John ) and his crew , in carrying « n too much canvass . The other boats had their sails double reefed , whilst his sails were folly expanded . — Welshman .

      Extraordinary Dismissal op a Captain op the Army . —Captain Stauton , of the 1 st Royal Tower Hamlets Militia , has been recently dismissed from the service , and reinstated during the past week under the following extraordinary circumstances ; — In the mouth of December last a man named Henry Stanton , alias Dr . Winkworth , alia $ Palmer , was convicted at the Central Criminal Court , and sentenced to be transported for life , for stealing two watohes , valued at j £ 35 , the property of Mr . Menzies , jeweller , of Clerkenwell . The case created unusual interest , from the fact of the prisoner having married several respectable females and made away with property ; in addition to which he had been previously transported , but got a remission of his

      sentence in consequence of Btating that he had some years since given important information to the Government repecting Ireland . The prisoner also stated that he had been an officer in the army , and that he , in the year 1830 , offered himself to represent the borough of Southampton . The matter reaohmg the ears of Lieut .-Colonel Grant , the commandant of the above regiment , he was anxious to ascertain whether the Captain Stanton belonging to his regiment was one and the same person , and sent an officer , in company of the relieving ovwseor of Hackney , © f which pariah the Captain was formerly one of the overseers , to Newgate , for that parpose . On their arrival they were shown the prisoner , but neither of them spoke to him ; they , however , stated he was the man . In consequence of this a

      communication was forwarded to the War-oftioe , and without farther inquiry , Optais Stapton was dismissed the service . At this time Captain Stanton was residing at Brigg , in Lincolnshire , and received his half-pay from the branch bank of Messrs . Prescott , but upon applying he was greatly astonished on being told tbat the person he represented himself to be had been transported for life . Oa receiving this intelligence , Captain Stanton wrote to the authorities at the War-office ; and he subsequently received a letter requesting hiB attendance in London iot the parpose of being identified . This has been done to the satisfaction of the Duke of Wellington , Sir Henry Hardinge , &c ; and the Captain has not only been reinstated , but an apology made to him for the painful situation in which ho had been placed .

      Lamentable Occurrence . —Ou Saturday last , as Benjamin Lowe and Renjamin Beddall were employed in repairing the top of a pit mouth , at Moorlane , Kingswiaford , the temporary scaffolding o » . which they were standing gave way , and they were precipitated to the bottom of the pit , thirty-four yards in depth , the scaffold , mortar can , bricks , &c , falling upon them . The mortar can ( a heavy iron vessel ) tell on the head of poor Lowe and killed him on the spot . Beddall and the scaffold also fell upon him 5 the former barely escaped with his life , having his right arm broken in two places , and so seriously injured on the head and various parts of the body , that but little hopes are entertained of his recovery . Poor Lowa has left a widow and four small children ; Beddall ia married and has one child . — Worcestershire Chronicle .

      The Gun Trade . —A good deal of dissatisfaction has b » en manifested by the gun trade , in consequence ef the Board of Ordnance having , three years ago , entered into a contract for a considerable supplv of foreign ^ nn-stocks for the small arms' department of the Ordnance , and a memorial ha 3 been presented to Sir George Murray , the Master-General of the Ordnance , by Mr . Dugdale , M . P . ; but it is found , from the reply given , that the board will not institute any inquiry into the present system of purchasing foreign walnut stocks , and tbat without further efforts the gun-makers will not bo able to obtain redress . It is expected that the subject will be brought before Parliament . —Evening Paper .

      Rebecca and her Daughters . —Oa Friday , at the Neath Petty Sessions , Morgan Reea , Tiiomas Roberts , and David Williams , three workmen in the employ of the Neath Abbey Iron Company , were brought forward to answer to a charge of bre&king and carrying away some gates at Neath Abbey on the 10 th of April . The evidence in this case was clear and conclusive , as police-sergeant Jones , 10 R . P ., caught them in the very act of destroying the gates ; but as the parties whose property have sustained injury did net appear to prosecute , the magistrates , on account of previous good character , deemed it expedient to dismiss the case . — Welshman .

      Remarkable Case op Conscience . —The Suffolk Herald publishes the following : — " Gur readers may frequently have seen advertisements in the daily papers acknowledging , on the part of the Chancellor of the Exchequer , certain payments made by anonymous persons , who , having defrauded the revenue , make this restitution , and it is called ' conscience money . ' A remarkable instance of this kind has come to us from a most credible source . An individual wrote a letter to the Exchequer-office , saying , that although he had returned his income-tax correctly on his ostensible business , yet that he was extensively engaged in smuggling , and as his retarns from that source were very great , he had it on his conscience net to have made any return of tbat , and he therefore enclosed , as the amount of three years ' tax , £ 14 , 000 3 Every effort has b » ea made to discover the conscientious contrabandist , but hitherto without effect . The fact may be relied on . "

      A Midnight Flight . —About midnight on Saturday last a msst violent aad alarming noise of an unnatural kind of screaming was heard over the whole town of Perth , awakening such as were asleep and frightening those who were awake . The v isitation continued for upwards of a quarter of an hour , in which time it was discovered to proceed from an uncommonly numerous flight of wild geese , winging their way to the sea side . It is known that when these birds are night travellers , and to prevent straggling the leader keeps up a constant cry , which is taken up at intervals and repeated by the . whole or greater pan of the fi <> ck . Whether in passing over the town the glare of the gas lamps had alarmed them , or their leaders thought increased caution was r » quired so near the habitations of men , can only b * conjectured ; but the fact is unquestionable that the noise exceeded anything similar ever heard , and some females were so much frighted as to have suffered in health ia consequence . —Caledonian Mer .

      Incendiarism . —The village of Madley , about six miles from Hereford , continues to be the scene of a succession of diabolical outrages which are a disgrace to any country or people . Some miscreants have conceived the horrible plan of setting fire to stacks and outhouses belonging to various farmers in the parish , and during the present month no less than four fires , the fiendish acts of incendiaries , have occurred . On Monday night last , or rather about one o'clock on Tuesday morning , a barn or outhouse

      was discovered to have been fired , and although every effort was made by the villagers to check the devastation , the whole was burned to the ground , entailing a loss to the proprietor of from £ 15 to £ 20 . The secrecy in which these nefarious schemes are p lanned and execated is astonishing , and about as inexplicable as the lawless conduct of " Rebecca and her daughters" iu Wales . Large rewards , varying in amount from £ 100 to £ 300 , have been offered for the detection of the marauders , but as yet without produoing th « desired effect . —Glottoester Journal .

      Allkged Death in a Workhouse prom Want of Proper Nourishment . — A long inquiry took place , on Mc-nday , •« the Feathers , publio-house , Doan-street , Westminter , concerning the death ot Sarah Bright , aged thirty-eight , an inmate of the workhoase of St . Margaret and St . John , Westminster . The inquiry was instituted by Mr . Higgs , deputy coroner for Westminster , in consequence of a report that was in circulation that the death of the deceased had been greatly accelerated by the

      want of proper nourishment , she being pregnant and labouring under a cancer of the breast . Tlie case having lasted nearly six hours , the Jury said they were satisfied with the evidence they bad heard , and that it was not necessary to go further into the case . After a short consultation they returned a verdict that " Deceased died of a bleeding caucer of long standing , and expressed their full conviction that every thing was done by the medical officers and others belonging to the workhouse that her case reqaired . "

      The Iron Trade . —The iron and metal trade gets worse and worse . It is in it that the want of the American market is principally felt . This will readily be believed when it is considered that in 1839 our exports in the United States of iron and steel , copper and brass , and tin plates amounted to £ 1 , 2-27 , 808 , besides hardware aad cutlery , amounting to £ 849 , 640 , making a total of £ 2 , 077 , 448 wor ; h of metals aud their manufactures exported in one year to America . Further , when we consider that of this prodigious sum no less than £ 1 , 650 , 838 was for iron and its manufactures , and that this extensive trade has fallen to about one-third , we shall have an important fact to assist us ia guessing at the causes of the depression of the iron trade . In Staffordshire , out of 111 furnaces , 53 are now lying cold , and have been blown out for twelve months , and their

      nonproduction withraws at least 220 , 480 tons weekly from the market ; notwithstanding this , the price ot iron continues to i ' alJ , the demand is become less , and the worst , but clearly inevitable , evil followswages are reduced , and industrious men are drivtn out of employment . — Worcester Herald , Decrease in the price of British Iron . —Since the commencement of 1842 , a continued gradual depression of the price of English iron has taken place . In Jauuary , in that year , bar iron was quoted at 140 s ; cargo m Wales , 120 s ; hoops , 200 s ; pig in Wales , 82 s Cd ; pig in Clyde , 60 j . Slight advanoes and increasing depression have marked the intervening period to the ead of March , when the following prices only were obtained , being a falling off of about 23 per cent , in fifteen months : —bar , 105 <; cargo in Wales , 1553 ; hoops , 155 a ; pig in Wales , 70 i ; in Clyde , 45 i . — Welshman .

      The Law of Arrest for Debt . —On Monday morning an inque 6 t was held at Whitecross street Prison , before the coroner of London , upon view of the body of Edward Cox , aged 55 , the eon of a gentleman of large estate in Ireland . From the evidence of Mr . Wadd , the surgeon of the prison , and others , it appeared that the deceased had from improvidence become embarrassed . To one of his creditors , a Mr . Heathcote , of Manchester , he owed £ 43 for > horse and chaise . The deceased having , in answer to an inquiry after him , said he had gone , or was going , to Ireland , Mr . Heathcote went before a judge and made affidavit that the deceased was going to leave the kingdom , and obtained an order for bis arrest . He was accordingly arrested , and

      reached Whitecross-etreet Prison on the 28 ch of ; March . As he was evidently labouring under tho ; distressing symptoms of consumption he was immediately placed in the infirmary , and received all the 1 care and additional nouriohment his case required ; j food , hower , would not remain on his stomach and in a few days he waa confined to his bed . Ou tho j 18 th ult . an application was made to Mr . Justice Maule to liberate him on account of bis iUness , Mr . \ Wadd giving a strong certificate that there was no ' hope of saving his life if he remained in the prison . 1 Dr . Heath gave a similar certificate . The applica- 1 tioa was stoutly opposed by the creditor , who repeated his affidavits that the deceased wished to leave the kingdom . The judge felt that he had not the

      power under the act to order the liberation of the deceased on the ground of extreme illness . He however , made an order for his release on finding sureties for the sum of £ 40 . This was only £ 3 less than the sum for which he might be bailed as of right , without any special application . The deceased was unable to find sureties and lingered till Sunday last , when he died of consumption . The Coroner asked if any affidavits were filed to show that tbe deceased was not in a state of danger , and was answered , none . The Coroner remarked , that it wa * to be regretted that the law did not authorize a judge t »

      liberate a person detained for debt where a man's life was really at Btake . To return to bis native country if he did intend to return , was what a man in his state of disease would naturally think of , and if the judge had aot authority to interpose he should have hoped that the creditor from humanity would not have so strongly opposed the unfortunate man ' s application . He trusted the Legislature would extend the judge ' s power , so that he might liberate on common appearance where a man ' s life waa believed to be in danger . The Jury heartily concurred with the opinion of the Coroner , and a verdict of'Natural Death" was recorded .

      Market Intelligence.

      MARKET INTELLIGENCE .

      Richmond Corn Market , Saturday , April 29 We had a very large supply of Grain hi our market to-day . Wheat sold from 5 s 3 d to 6 s 3 d . Oats Is lOd to 2 s lOd . Barley 3 s 3 d to 3 a 6 d . Beans 3 s 3 d to is 9 d per bushel . Manchestbs Cobn Makkbt , Satbbdat , April 29 , —There is no change to notice in the trade , the transactions in Flour and Oatmeal during the week having been limited ( as already noted for some tim « previously ) to the demand for immediate consumption ; bnt as stocks of the former article are light , fresh supplies continue to be taken off by the bakers

      as they arrive . 9323 loads of Oatmeal and 4330 quarters of Oats from Ireland constitute the chief articles of import into Liverpool and Runcorn : the arrivals of Flour via those ports , as also from the interior , are only to a moderate extent . At our market this morning few sales of Wheat were reported , and , with a lifeless trade , we repeat the qut > tations-of this day se ' iinight . The demand for Flour continues equal to the supply ; and for Oatmeal there has likowise been a fair inquiry , but no sales to any extent were effected . The trade in Oats , Beans , and other articles was dull , without alteration iu prices .

      State op Tradp .. —The demand , yesterday , for some descriptions of ^ oods , and especially for printing cloth , was not quite so animated as on the preceding Tuesday ; but shirtings continue in extensive demand , and many of the buyers seem desirous of making contracts at the full prices of last week . The yarn market continues flat , and some descriptions have been bought a sharie lower than last week . Still , we believe , there is no accumulation of stock ; and the market may be considered tolerably

      healthy . We are glad to learn that the continued demand for manufactured goods has caused ? om 6 advance of wages in the neighbourhood of Blackburn , where two firms of spiuners aud manufacturers ( one of them amongBt the largest in the kingdom ) haye given notice of a general advance , amounting to ten per cent , to all tho hands employed in their factories . To what extent thia example will be followed , remains to be awn . —Manchester Guardicn of Wednesday .

      Liverpool Cattle Market , Mokdat , Mat 1 . — The supply of Cattle at market to-day has beea rather larger than last week , with little or no variation in prices . Beef 4 ^ d . to 5 ^ d ., Mutton , 51 . to 5 ^ d . per lb . Number of Cattle at market : —Beasts 1055 , Sheep 2585 . Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Mat 1 . — With the exception of 8990 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland , the arrivals of Grain , &o ., into this port during the past week are of moderate amount . The decline of Id . to 2 d . per bushel noted in prices of

      Wheat on Tuesday last has not been foliowed by further reduction ; the trade , indeed , has shown more firmness , though the general demand has still been limited . Flour has latterly met rather more inquiry ; we make no change in its value . The supply of Oats has been small , and though few have been Wanted , holders have maintained previous rates . Two or three thousand loads of Oatmeal have found buyers at 19 s . 6 d . ro 19 * . 9 d . per 2401 bs . There ia no alteration to report as respects Barley , Beans , or Peas .

      Newcastle Cobn Markbt , Saturday , Ap ril 29 . —The weather this week has Hot been quite so favourable as we Have ha ' t occasion to note of late , much rain haviag fallen accompanied with a cold pinching wind ; to-day , however , there are indications of a favourable change . At our . market this morning , we had a very large supply of wheat from the growers , but the arrivals coastways being trifling , a clearance was early made at a decline of Is . per quarter . In foreign few transactions occurred , holders being unwilling to submit to any further reduction . Although the arrivals of flour this week have been trifling , we cannot note any improvement either in its value or demand , but the stocks in warehouse , as well as those in the bands of the dealers being moderate , would lead us to expect a better demand shortly .

      London Corn Exchange , Monda y , Mat 1 . — During yesterday and to-day we have had very fine weather , and the barometer and thermometer have both risen considerably . The show of Wheat at Mark-lane this morning was very small fromjEssex , and quite moderate from Kent and Suffolk .. At the commencement of business there was some competition among the millers to secure the finest qna . Mties , and for picked samples of White Is . per qr . more waa realized than would have been obtained on Monday last ; subsequently , however , the demand slackened and the trade closed rather languidly at about the currency of this day se ' nnight . In free Foreign Wheat the operations were not extensive ; a parcel or two were , however , taken for shipment to Ireland and holders remained firm , refusing to accept less money than on Monday . The bakers bought Flour

      very cautiously , but we do not alter quotations of either town or country manufactured . The quantity of Barley on Bale was small ; and , notwithstanding the arrival from abroad , this article was held v « ry firmly at fully former rates . Malt was taken in retail at about the prices of this day se ' nnight . In addition to the quantity of Oats reported , about a dozen cargoes have arrived from Ireland ; we had therefore on the whole a good display of samples . Fine English and Scotch corn brought fully as much money as on this day &e ' nnight , but Irish was very difficult of disposal , and in partial instances , where vessels were coming on demurrage , a small abatement was acceded to . Fine new English Beans found buyers at fully previous terms . Other kinds were dull of sale . The trifling business done in Pea * was at about the currency of Monday last . For Bonded Grain we heard of no inquiry .

      London Smithfield Cattle Maekkt , Mondat . —From the various grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up to our market to day were moderately extensive , but not to say large , while there was an evident improvement in their general quality , notwithstanding a large portion of them was euffor / Dg severely from the epidemic , particularly as relates to those from Suffolk and Cambridgeshire . Amongst ? he Bullock Bupply wenotioed two wonderfully fine Durhams offering by Mr . Robert Morgan ; these magnificent animals were bred and fed in Warwickshire , while their estimated weight was 180 stones , and they came to hand , by the Birmingham Railway , in excellent order . The attendance of both

      town and country buyers was by no means large , and we have to report a very dull inquiry for Beef , although the supplies of dead meat in our various markets are far from large . On Friday last the trade was steady at an improvement of 2 d per 81 bs ., but to day it was quite as dull as on this dny se ' nnight , and the quotations declined 2 d P » --r 8 ios . ; the very highest figure for the primest Scot .- nfff . exceeding 3 vl 0 d . per 8 lbs ., and a clearance was with difficulty effected . There were about 90 * tora cows , barrens , &c , on sale , but they were wjth drfficiilty disposed of at extremely low rates . From Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , we received 1 . 750 Scots , homebreds , runts , &c . ;

      from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , Northamptonshire &c , 100 shorthorns , &o . ; from the western and midland districts , 20 O DevonS , Durhams , Herefords , runts , and Irish beasts ; from other parts of England , 350 , of various breeds ; from Scotland 200 horned and polled Scots ; and from Ireland , via L verpobl , 90 Beasts . Nearly tho whole of the Sneep being out of the wool , it must be borne in mind that our present and future quotations for Mutton will refer only to those in that condition . The supply was by no means so heavy as last week ' s , yet it was fully adequate to meet the wants of the butchers . Prime old Downs sold somwhat freely ; other breeds of sheep heavily at last Monday ' s prices , or from 3 i 6 d to 3 d 8 d for the former , shorn , aud from , 2 s 10 d to 3 s 6 d per 8 lb . for other description ? . The arrivals of Lambs were seasonably good .

      bui by no means of prime quality . The total number was about 8000 ; 230 of which were received from iii 9 Isleot Wight ; the remainder from Essex , Kent , Surrey , & •; ., &c . Prime Dowu L&mbs were taken at , full rates of currency , bnt those of other descriptions were from 2 d to 4 d per 8 ibs . lower . Calyea were in moderate supply and heavy demand , at barely stationary prices , the top figures not exceeding 4-. 4 d to 4 i Gd per 8 ibs . Nearly 200 pigs were received by sea from Dublin and Cork , and the total supply was good . The Pork trade , however , was in a , very depressed state , at unaltered quotations . During the past week the imports of foreign stock at Hull have consisted of 49 Oxen and 2 Cows by a mailing vessel from Aalborg ; at Southampton 40 Oxen from Spain ; but sot a single head has reached tbe port ot London , there being none on offer here to-day .

      Wool Market . —The public sales , so far as they have progressed , are favourable , and the prices have advanced quite Id per lb lor colonial descriptions , and a £ d on other kinds . Borough and Spitalfields . —Full average supplies ot Potatoes have oome to hand , the time of year considered , since our last statement , and , in consequence of the abuadauca of grown vegetables , the demand is extremely inactive * at , in some instances , depressed condition . Borough Hop Mabkbt . —We have a moderate supply of Hops ; on offer in this market . Fine qualities of last year's growth are mostly taken on full as good terms as of late ; bat , otherwise the demand is excessively dull , at almost nominal quotations .

      Tallow . —Tnere is but little alteration to notice in this market . Prices are firm , both on tbe spot and for the autumn delivery , the former at 43 s 3 d to 43 s 6 d ; and for vbo latter there are buyers lor the last three months at 43 ^ Gd . There are " about 1 , 00 * easKB of various soils advertised for public sale on Friday next . The demand for Town Tallow is very good , the net cash pricu being about | * ta * 4 am § f 3 Y .
