      Ewgbatios to America . —On Sunday forenoon the Ameriea . n line-of-packet ship , Hendrik Hudson , Captain Moore , sailed from the St . Katharine's Dock for New York . She carries out about 120 emigrants . Of these there are fifty in the cabin , the others being intermediate and steerage passengers ; the latter bein ^ , as usual , poor agricultural labourers with their families , from the neighbouring counties . Owing to the harrest operations happily going on uninterruptedly in our own country , the number of steerage passengerB per the Hendrik Hnos > n 13 far below the usual average . Among those in the intermediate berths aTe several yoHng , industrious mechanics , who have been per-uaded by their friends inthe"far W 63 J to leave the shores of England to improve their condition in America .

      Fatal Mistake . —On Wednesday last , an Irishman named M'Qain , employed in working the stills at Douglas Bleachfield , swallowed a considerable quantity of vitriol from the jag used by him for supplying the retorts . Antidces were immediately but ineffretnaily used to counteract the acid—after lingering six hours , death put an end to his sufferings . A dangerous practice is prevalent amongst the workmen at Bleacbfields of drickins water from jsgs in which vitriol has been kept , in order to have the beverage sightly acidnlated , which it is presumpd in this instance led to the mistake . —Dublin Warder .

      lowing distressing account in the Journal du Havre of Tuesday : — " A gad event , which will fill w .-th mourning a family dear to luerary France , has this morniDg afflicted our population . It is another instance of the danger of tbe navigation of Failing boats on rivers , and against which , in ; bis case , ihe experience of an old captain was of no avail . Yesterday , about noon , M . . Pierre Tacquerie , an old captain , and a merchant of Havre , who resided at Villequier , at his property , on the banks of the Seine , having business at Caudebec , resolved to make this little trip by water , and being familiar with tbe navigation of the river , aud the mode of handling boats , he took with him in his boat , which had two lug sales , his young eou , aged ten years—his nephew , M .

      C . Vacquerie—and the young wife of the latter , the daughter of M . Victor Hugo , to whom he was not long since married . The boat , which left Villequier with the ebb tide , was met at abont a qnarter to one by the Petite Emma steamer , Capt . Durasan , who , on losing sight of her , went to Viilpquier to take in a pilot . Hardly half an hour had elapsed when intelligence arrived that s boat had been upset on the opposite bank , called the Dc-s d'Ane . Assiatar . ee was instantly despatched , bui it arrived only in time to witness the irreparable misfortune that had taken place . The boat was uken aback , and tbe ihtets were imprudently made fass . On her being righted , ihcre were found inside a canEon ball and a large stone , which had been used as ballast , and the dead body of Si . Pierre Vacqueric , -with the bead bsagicg over the ride . The three other persons had disappeared . It was supposed at first that M . C

      Vac-1 quierre , being an excellent swimmer , bad , whilst endeavouring to save his wife and his relations , been carried further ; but , as oothing appeared on the snrface of tbe wat ^ r , a net was thrown in , and the ground dragged . The first time it was pulled up it contained the lifeless body of the unfortunate lady , which was taken on shore , and placed on a bed . At the moment when Captain Dnrason , wbo has communicated these details to as , quitted the lamentable scene , the drag net had been again used , and it was presumed , from the macoavering of the boats , that the bodies of the other two victims had been recovered . Madame Victor Hugo received this morning , at Havre , where ahe has been residing some time with her two other children , the news of tfce terrible calamity that has befallen her . She set out immediately for Paris . M . Victor Hugo is travelling . It is believed that he is at La Rochelle . "

      Fatal Dc £ L . —We have received the following from Baden Baden , dated tbe 2 nd instant : — A heavy and painful sensation of gloom has been cast over this otherwise gay and animated spot by a duel , which took place this afternoon across the Wnrtemburg frontier , between a young Ru ? sian ofBcer of " the name of Vesefkine , and a German officer of Carlsruhe , of the name of Gohler , which duel terminated in the death of the former . The cause of difference was this : —li . Gohler had refused to fight with a M . Haber , a relation of the banker of this place , for reasons which his fellow-officers considered sufficient to warrant this refusal . This affair was warmly taken up by some young Russian here , who espoused the part of M . Haber , considering

      iuia badly used . m . Ve ? efkine put himself particularly f % rward , and unfortunately wrnt so far as to put up some abasive placards penned by Haber , r » fleeting on the conduct of 11 . Gobler , who wsb detained by military duty at Csrltruhe . He , however , obtained a conge , arrived here last night , and nought an interview with Vessfkine , who refused to fight unless GohJer first accepted the challenge of Haber . M . Gehler , exasperated , thrtats-Lcd to strike him , whereupon a duel was agr < -ed to ; not an ordinary afiair of honour , ' but a due I a mart , each to have two pistols , and the affair cot to terminate until one was put hors de combat . Tbe second of the Russian was a fellow-countryman , and the o ; her a Spaniard . They proceeded this morning to

      Carlsrnhe , and crossed the frontier into Wurtemburg . The principals were placed at twenty pace ? , to advance within ten . The first shot was fired by Vese ! kine , which took effect in tbe breast of his adversary , high up under the collar-bone . Gchler returned the shot without effect ; the Russian then discharged his second pistol , missing hi * adversary whese second pistol hung fire three different times From pain and loss of blood be was staggering , and scarcely able to bear up , but his second having handed him a freshly loaded pistol , he fired , and Vesefkine receiving the ball threngh the arm into his breast , fell dead without uttering a word . Had his-adversary fallen , he wa 3 to have fought a fecond duel with M . Sarachaga , the second of Gohler .

      Th ' e latter was immediately transported to Carlsrube , wbpre he lies in a most dangerous state . The body of Vesei kine was brought hither this evening by his second , who kas fled to France ; bnt it has since been taken back to Rastadt . The conduct of the police in this affair has been most culpable , and baffle conjecture , as they had cogmzince of the placards , which they tore down , and besides , a short time back interfered to prevent the same M . Ve&efkine from risking his life alone in a balloon ( iu which M . Jlsrgat , seronaut , ascended , ) for a bet of 500 francs with an American gentleman . You can easily ronceive how this most sad affair has checked

      | all spirit of gaiety in this place , and cast a gloom over it which will not be dispelled this season . It is the sewnd duel within three weeks . M . Vesefkine was & young man of twenty-eight , tall , elegant , aad brave ; he had served in the Circassian war with distinction . He is the last of four brothers , who have all met untimely ends . OcewaB killed in a duel , a second in battle , a Hard by an accident , aud now this last survivor has fallen to complete tho Bnaber . He fonght a « h » el here last year with M . de Shin _ Bern . For tk- « truth of the foregoing de « tails I can vouch , as I am acquainted with * U the parties . "— GaUgnimi .

The noise continued to increase , till the poJico arrived , who burst open the door ; when they were informed that bhortJy after tbe fami- ' y had retired to rest , they were awakened byf loud noise ' s in tho house , and on looking out ol bed perceived the tall figure of a man fl . tting about tbe room .

Mayor of t ongloton , and was the judge who condemned the uaiertunate Charles I . to be beh ? aded . The inmate 3 were much terrified , and roared out lustily ; on which the mysterious visitor unceremoniously departed . The " police , aided by some members of the family , commenced a most diligent search ; but everything was found as they bad left it , perfectly safe and secure . The general impression in Congleton consrquently is that kl the hous 9 is haunted . " — Macclesfield Chronicle .

      A F £ w days ago , the Isle of Tiree , near Dumfries , was visited by a ihoal of whales , which were no sooner obstrved than suveral beats put cut to sea to surround them . " The " leaders" were shaving a creek , when a native , Mr . D . Maclean , who chanced to be riding by , jumped off his horse , taking vs-iih him the bridle and his trusty dirk . It ia well known that if one whale bleeds , and is stranded , the rest of the sboal , by some fatality , follow , and are easily secured . Mr . Maclean seeing the leader quite close , jumped upon its back , and stabbed it in the belly . Tho moment the monster took il in Hie saline element it turned belly ap . Donald put his bridle about its tail , and swam with it to an adjacent boat ! In this manner the unequal fight was carried oa for about an hour , ' when Mr .

Fbightful Accidejjt—On Monday afternoon , between one and two o ' clock ,-a dreadful accident occurred in Catealon-streot . It appears that the foreman of tho carpenter * employed in tbe ereotion

In his descent he fell with hi 3 back across the hoarding erected there , by which his back was broken .

They raised an immediate alarm , and , in a moment or two , all the shearers in the field were about them , using every endeavour to liberate them from their dang .-rou p enemies . This they accomplished , but not until the man and wife were eo severely stung , especially about the face—almost every trace of feature being obliterated—that they had to be helped homo and put to bod , from which , as yet , they have been unable to rise , the wounds having produced violent fever . —Perth Courier .

M'Intyre , late of the Excise , and residing on the P . rih-road . When found , the features of both were a good deal disfigurtd , which led to tbe supposition that they had bcuu a long time in the water ; but this is not the case , as they were both seen on Monday last , late in tbe afternoon . The cause of this lamentable event is not absolutely certain ; but tbe probability is that both committed self-destruction whi ! o in a state of temporary insanity . —Dundee Herald .

      Bbutal Expebiments on Animals . —A late number of the Lancet contains a notice of certain experiments performed on cats , one of which is peculiarly brutal in its character , and not of any scientific importance in its results . A foreigner of the name of Weinhold took away the brain and spinal marrow of one of these animals , and filled up the space thu 3 made with an amalgam of mercury , quicksilver , aad zinc . . Life appeared to be instantly restored , the animal lift ' -d up its head , opan-. d and shut its eyes , and , looking with a fixed stare , endeavoured to walk ; and whenever it dropped , tried to raise itself upon its leg" . It continued in this state

      some twenty minutes , when it fell down and remained motionleps . During all the time the animal was thus treated , the circu l ation of the blood appeared to go on rcsulariy ; tht secntion of the gastric juice was more than usual , and the animal heat was re-estabiished . Although it is not expressly so stated , the cat must have bren alivo when this fellow cut away its brain and spinal marrow , or else the processes just described could not have been reproduced ; aud we can easily believe that a person capable of thus torturing an animal would not hesitate , were it not for penal restrictions , at repeating his scientific experiment on human creatures . —Observer .

      The late Pabbicide . —The following particulars appear in the Siecle of Friday : — " We yesterday mentioned a horrible crime committed in the environs of London on Mr . G . Dadd . The murder has been imputed to the victim ' s son , Mr . Richard Dadd , a young painter , whohad already been subject to some fits of madness ; but as the police had been unable to discover him , it was supposed he had drowned himself . This last supposition is an erroneous one , for this eveniDg we have recived at our office a visit from Mr . M , who , after reading the occurrence as we yesterday published it , had come to teli us the following : —Mr . M was , on the night of the 30 th ult . pass i ng through the fore 3 t of Valence , near Montereau , and was seated on iheimperiale by the side of a young Englishman , whose looks Beemed to be wandering , and who ha . d been for above a quarter of an hour amusing himself lowering Mr . M ' s

      cravat and collar . This singular practice provoked the traveller , who desired his neighbour to have done with it ; the latter then drew from his pocket an excellent English razor , and set about cutting the throat of the unfortunate Frenchman , who , despite a vigorcu 3 resistance , received four rather deep cuts . Notwithstanding his wounds , he succeeded in mastering the young man , whose madness seems to be a mania of cutting throats ; for , on being taken before the justice , of the peace at Montereau , he very quietly declared that bis name was Richard Dadd , and that he had just recently arrived from England , where he had murdered his father by cutting hia throat . He was lodged in the Meluh house . But the moat surprising circumstance © f this strange story is , that the moment Richard Dadd was arrested he hastened to give all he bad on him in order that his victim might be taken care of 1 "

      Cat / sb and Effect . —The quality and magnitude of a parent catue is judged of from that of its legitimate offspring , effe ct ; and applying this sound maxim to the valuable discovery of Father Parr , we must necessarily arrive at the conclusion , that the intrinsic virtues of his Vegetable Cure are more than extraordinary . Where , or when was there ever a eause productive of such astonithing effects ? This is a % u 6 &uon not easily answered .

      St i » tocGH on Loch ah Mos 3 . —Oa Monday last Mr . Curds , the eminenc engineer , invited about twenty of his frieada to witness the machinery connected with this plough put in motion ; and it was truly astonishing to see Buch an immense fabric travel with the greatest facility over ground so soft that a man can scarcely stand upon it without BiuKing . Mr . Curtis politely explained the objects of the different parts of the machine ; and , so far as an unprofessional person can judge , tho principle of the construction seems sound , and we have no doubt that when completed ( which it will bo in a short

      time ) it will fu )! y answer the purpose intended , and we may expect to see , at no very distant period , that immense tract of barren morass—now ouly the resort of curlews and seagulls—become a fertile valley , covered with clover and wheat . In fact , we regard this undertaking as the commencemeat of a new era m agriculture , and if the man who makes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before is . to be regarded as his country ' s best benefactor , what etaall be said of him who converts worthless heather into the most valuablo grain . — Dumfries Courier .

      Military Execution in Spji . y . —Madbi » Aug . uTi " ° v , those events that make au Kngii-hman thrill with horror took place here this moraine . A battalion of the 2 nd Regiment of Infantry ( Del Principe ) . quartered at the barracks of San Francisco near tbe loledo gate , mutinied last night , on account of their not having had their discharge , which had been repeatedly promised them . The battalion was at Barcelona , and was one of the first that joined in the late insurrection ; it had only lately arrived here . Another battalion of the same regiment is now in the Fort of Montjuich . Ti . 'e men rose in mutiny about one a . m ., aid on thoir Colonel , Senor Angles , proceeding there , it appears that he was insulted , and forced to retire . It was even said that

      he had bteii fired at and wounded , but this is now denied ; however , the men , about five hundred ia number , remained in a stato of mutiny all night . Other troap 3 were brought out , and Narvafz himself went there , and , it is said , promised them , that if they would lay dowa their arms , they should have their licenses of leave , which waB all they wanted At half-past nine o ' clock this morning they accordingly delivered themselves up ; the men were then forced to declare who were theringleadors , aad the latter were placed under arrest . A-ifew minutes afterwards several priests were introduced to confess them , and at half-past ton , five sergeants , two corporals , and one private soldier were taken out a little distance from the Tokdo-gate , and there shot

      within sight of the barracks . 1 visited the place of execution an hour afcer : the bodies had beon removed , but the wall against which they were shot was covered with blood , and here and there in tho instersticcs , and on the projecting points of the-i stones and mortar , were fragments of flebh and hair , which the bystanders were handing round . Numbers of persons have been this morning to the plaoe , \ and their " curses , not loud but deep , " rendered evident what their feelings were on the occasion . An immense display of force was made ; several battalions of infantry , and a large force of cavalry , ' with ten pieces of artillery , were assembled near the \ place of execution . The artillery was placed so as to fire upon ; the infantry had the latter shown symptoms of mutiny , or refused to perform the duty of

      dispatching their comrades . The artillerymen stood by their guns , with lighted matches , ready to fire at a moment's notice ; and even so the murmurs of the men oould not be suppressed , and the officers were obliged repeatedly to call out for silence ; they were then marched by the dead bodies , and afterwards back to their quarters . A proclamation has been issued by Guernica , tho now political chief , which ia stuck about the streets , which merely says that Madrid remains tranquil , that " an event did occur last night ' at the barracks of San Francisco ; but that it was entirely connected with personal motives , and that order had been re-established . " It is expected ihat tve shall not be long now without military law being proclaimed . The Queen comes iu this evening at half-past six o ' c ' ock .

      Da . EruRGiN ' s Machine fob Hoisting Materials in BviLDiNe . —Part of the machine re 3 tsupon the ground , i ho second part of it is a trestle , which may ba placed upon the scaffolding of the bricklayers ; in the upper part of which ia a wheel which corresponds perpendicularly with another wheel , attached to the principal body of tho machine , resting on the ground . The wheel is put iu motion by one or several men , who turn tho handle by which the chain operates its rotation . The workmen attach their hods , full of materials , and others detach them , to carry them to the bricklayers , The empty hods are attached to the chain and then they are detached . The chain may be lengthened aud shortened as necessary . When a story is added to the scaffolding , the trestle is placed upon the new story ; and the

      chain lengthened as required . This invention is to relieve the workman from the most toilsome part of hia labour by doing away with the practice of ascending the ladder , and preventing the accidents arising from this practice . By these means building operations will be carried on with greater expedition than heretofore , aud it will diminish the cost of such works . The hods aro fastened to the chain at the rate of three in a minute ; each hod contains 16 bricka ( or the same weight in other materials , ) equal to 48 bricks in a minute , 2 , 820 an hour , 28 , 800 in ten hours , the average of a day ' s work- If the hods are placed more closely to each of her on the chain , four can be affixed in a minute , 3 , 040 in the hour , 38 400 in tho day . If instead of hods baskets be used the amount raised will bo double the above , as the handles occupy much space . — Poly tec Ante Review .

      Lord Cardigan Again . —It appears that , on Tuesday the 29 ; h ult ., Lord Cardigan , being commandant of Cavalry in tho Garrison , ordered a brigade field day in the Ph « enix Park . The troops consisted of the Dragoon Guards and the 11 th Hussars . After being upwards of four hours mounted , during which tirce the men were put through all the evolutions—they returned to Barracks , and here arose the scene which has placed Lord Cardigan in another awkward dilemma . The mea were dismounted , and in the act of filing off to tho stables , when his Lordship suddenly gave the command to remount . The wholo of the eleventh wore speedily in their Baddies , with the exception of three officers , whose horse 3 had been already removed by their grooms . After the lapse of about two minutes , Lord Cardigan rode up to Mr . one of the senior lieutenants , and asked

      him , where was his horse 1 He replied , his groom had goue for him . His Lordship replied smartly , " Go yourself lor him . " This Mr . —— declined , observing calmly , as his groom had gone for the horse he would be there in a very few minutes . His Lordship repeated his command in an impassioned tone , and Mr . made the same reply as before , upon which Lord Cardigan put him under arrest . In the course of the afternoon , the officer represented the matter to Sir Edward Blakeny , the Lieutenant General Commanding the Forces , who wrote to Mr . not to consider himself under arrest from the receipt of this communication ; and so rests the matter . As to the reply of Sir Edward Blakeny to Lord Cardigan , it is a secret , as hia Lordship has not communicated it to any of the gentlemen of the Regiment . —Mercantile Advertiser .

      Landlords : and Tenants in Ireland . —The Marquis of Headfort presided on Thursday at the annual dinner of the Kells ( couuty of Meath ) Agricultural Society . The leading gentry of tho district and many of tho farmers were present . In the course of the evening , Mr . Naper , of Loughcrew , one of the most extensive landlords in the county , addressed the meeting on the state and prospects of the agricultural interests in thw county . " The ) time is come , " said Mr . Naper , ' when some change must take place . The people must prooure their rights—he meant employment , and remuneration

      for their labour—( hear , hear ) . If the landlords * of Ireland , or their fathers , had been too lavish upon luxurit-s and superfluities , the time is now come when the landlords of Ireland—ay , and of England aud Scotland—ought to take the matter into consideration . He was sure many of them would cut off a portion cf their superfluities , if they thought they could thereby give employment to the people . Let them attend to the matter in good time . The people aro now temperate , and fitted for industry . A change is taking place—for God ' s sake , let it not be too rapid nor too slow . " Mr . Naper closed amidst tho cheering of the company ;

      "New . Ststem of Paying Rents . "—Under this heading the Carlow Sentinel , a Tory paper , has been publishing some announcements similar to the following : — " On Sunday morning last , between the hours of twelve and one o ' clock , about two hundred men and women , principally strangers in the district , proceeded to the farm occupied by a man named John Harney , near Ballon , in this county , and cut down and carried away about five acres of wheat and two of oats , before six o'clook . The party , who were provided with horses and cars , here off tbe crops towards Hacketstown , and have not since been heard of . This plan of evading the payment of rent , or of preventing a distress on the lands is being generally adopted , and hitherto with complete Buccess . It therefore remains to be seen after this warning , how far tbe proprietors of land and the public authorities

      oan co-operate to prevent its being carried into practical effect generally .

      London Corn Market , Monday , Sept . 11 . — Daring last v ? eek very consideraole progress was made in harvest work , and the arrivals ot all grain up to our market , if vre except those of foreign VVhcat , vre re on a very moderate scale . Wo have received a full average fupply of New Wheat from Es > es and Kent the quality of which was inferior . Old Wheat pf home produce being scarce , th « prices obtained were quite equal fo those obtajned on Moaday last ; but in order to effect aalea of new parcels the factors were compelled to submit to a decline oa previous rate 3 of from Is to 2 ^ per quarter , and a clearance waa not effected . In fine foreign Wheat a very extensive business was transacted . There-was a good supply of fine foreign BarJey , which met a slow inquiry . The Malt trade was dull . In Oats a fair amount of business was transacted . Beans , Peas , and F ' our as last quoted , wiih lictlo doing .

      Borough and- Spitalfields —Tne imports of Foreign Potatoes continue so extremely small as to > be scarcely worthy of notice From Essex , Kent , &c , fair avf-ra ^ o tinje-of-year suppl i es have come to hand in condition , while the demand is firm , at froni 3 s tc 5 s 6 d per cwt . SS 189 Borough Hop Market . —Since our last report four pockets of new Hops have been disposed of at prices varying from £ 7 15 s to £ 8 8 s per cwt . The quality of the Hops in question was very good , and we learn that picking is now becoming pretty general . From most cf thehop districts the accounts ara favourable , and the duty in consequence has advauced to £ 150 , 000 . In oM Hops scarcely any business is doiijg , aud prices are again lower . Tallow—This market is very dull and inactive For forward delivery the price is rather higher thaa on the spot ; for the spring months , it is 42 s . 6 d .

      Wool Markets—For both English and Foreign Wools there is a very steady inquiry ; and in some instances , rather improved rates ha ? e been paid for the finest cornbm » qualities . Altogether the market is healthy . Since our last , the imports have comprised 271 bales from Odessa ; 62 from Hamburgh ; 523 from Port Beaufort ; and 10 , 00 from Sydney . Liverpool , Corn Market , Monday , Sept- 11 . — The imports of Grain , &j ., since this day se'nnight are of very moderate amount : 3000 qrs . of Wheat and 800 qrs . of Peas are reported from Dantaig . The duty on Wheat remains at Hi . per quarter until Friday next , when an advance is expected . With a week of exceedingly fine weather great progress has been made ia harrest operations throughout the kingdom , and prices of all descriptions ef grain have given way . The genera ) runs of foreign Wheat have

      declined in value by 31 . to 4 . per bushel , whilst the finer qualities have receded rather more ; of the former , however , some parcels were on Friday taken on speculation , and two or three purchases were made for Ireland . A few small lots of Irish new Wheat have sold at 7 s 3 d to 7 * Sd } tho -neighbouring farmers have delivered freely afc 7 s to 7 s 6 d per 7 Olbs ; the quality and condition of their samples generally good , some fine . No change as regards F > our ; the quantity on the market small , Old Oats have been neglected , and are Id to 2 d per bushel cheaper . Prime marks of old Meal have latterly had a little more demand at 19 ri to 19 a 64 per 24 Olbs ; new has sold at 22 i 6 A to 23 » . Of now Oats we have had this week scarcely any at market ; they are quoted at 2 s 5 d to 2 s 7 d per 45 lbs . Barley , Beans and Peas , are each rather cheaper .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturdat , Sept . 9 . The weather has been of the most delightful character since our last report , and we hear , from all parts * that the crops ar 6 being secured in excellent order . During the week there was a fair consumptive demand for choice qualities of "fresh manufactui ed Flour , which , heing scarce , readily realized our previous currency , whilst inferior descriptions w . ere almost unsaleable . The inquiry for Oatmeal was very limited , without change in value . Of Oats and Flour , tho imports from Ireland into Liverpool and

      Ruucorn are to a fair extent , but of other articles thence and cpa 9 twi a e they are unimportant ; and , from foreign ports , 3008 quarters of Wheat are reported . The business passing in Wheat at our market this morning was only limited , and was 2 d . per 701 ba . lower . For superfine qualities , of Flour ( of which the stocks in all hands are extremely light ) there was a moderate dtmand at 42 s . to 44 s . per 2801 bs . ; but inferior sorts continued to meet a elovc Bale , although offered on lower terms . In Oats or Oatmeal no change was observable . New Oatmeal was saleable ia reuil parcels at 24 s . per 240 ! bs .

      Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday ,-Sept . II . —We have had a heavy supply of Cattle at market to-day , which met with dull sale at a little variation . in price . Beef 4 jd . to 5 . £ J .

London Smithfield Catile Market , Mo . vda j Sepl 11 . —We have to report the arrival of a fair average supply of beasts . The beef trade was decidedly more animated than for some weeks past , and in a few instances a trilling advance was obtained for the primest qualities . However , the highest quotation obtained for the best Scots did Hot exceed 4 S-. per 8 lba ., but at that figure a good clearance wa 3

      easily effected . The numbers of Sheep were good , but by no means extensive . There was certainly a better feeling in the Mutton trade , and the currencies obtained on this day se ' nnight were freely supported —those of the best old t ) owna realizing from ii . to 4 s . 4 < i . per 816 s . Lambs were in good supply , and the quotations had , in some instances , an upward tendency . The Veal trade was again steady , and the best Calves produced 4 a . 8 d . per 8 . bs . Pigs were in moderate supply , and the quality of the stock was inferior . In store stock scarcely anything was doing The imports of Foreign Beasts , eince Monday last , have been confined to twenty-five , into London , by the Batavia steamer , from Rotterdam .
