Dr. Laing, of Thurso, has successfully applied chloro- form in the paroxysms of lunacy. It is supposed that there are upwards of 12,00J un. employed persons in Glasgow at present. Two children have been poisoned at Leeds through a mistake by a druggist in selling morphia instead of worm powder. XEWSP.IPER SrEAUxo.—From the complaints con- stantly making it appears that a systematic robbery of newspapers is perpetrated in the General Post-office. We have already directed the attention of the Post office authorities to the subject, and, as they permit the abuse to continue, it is time that it should be noticed in Parlia- ment. A most simple expedient, and one that is in hourly operation in all our docks-that of searching every person employed in the office whenever he leaves the building-would effectually put a stop to the thefts or insure the detection of thieves. It is a national disgrace that we should hear of a second complaint on the sub- ject.- T inm;. DEATH OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY.—WE announce with the deepest regret the death of the Primate. His Grace expired on Friday morning, in the presence of the members of his family. His last moments were most tranquil; he was sensible to the last. Flags surmounted with black crape, have been hoisted half-mast high at Lambeth. The Most Rev. and Right. Hon. Dr. William Howley was only sou of the Rev. William Howley, D.D., Vicar of Bishop's Sutton and Hopley, Hants. He was born 12th of February, 1766, so that he would have at- tained his 82nd year had he lived until Saturday. He was educated at Winchester school: at Oxford he obtained a fellowship at New College. In 1794 he was elected fellow of Winchester College, and in 1805 took the degree of D.D. In 1809 he was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity. His Grace was tutor to the Prince of Orange (now King of Holland, (when that Prince was at Oxford, and was also tutor to Lord Abercorn. On the death of Dr. Randolph, in 1813, his Grace succeeded that divine as Bishop of London, and in 1828 was translated to the Archbishopric of Canterbury, on the decease of Dr. Manners Sutton. The deceased was Primate of All England and Metropolitan; Governor of the Charter- house, &c. His Grace was president of many of our charitable institutions, to the funds of which he was a munificent contributor. The Cliurcb has lost a devout and sincere member in his Grace, who, since he occupied the exalted station of Primate, had the fortune to gain the esteem and regard of all classes. Dr. Howley was not much known in the world 01 letters, his only published productions being some Charges to his clergy, and a con- secration sermon preached in 1802, on the elevation of his old school-fellow, Dr. Huntingford, to the bishopric of Gloucester nevertheless be was a great lover and patron of literature, and added considerably to the splendid library at Lambeth. The fixed annual value of the See of Canter- bury is £ 17,000, and its patronage includes 149 livings.— This event will delay the consecration of Dr. Hampden. It had been arranged to take place at Whitehall last Sunday, but the Archbishop was too ill to sign the com- mission. IMPROVEMENT IN NAVAL STEAM ENGINKS.— The Washington Union, of January 5, contains a long report from a board of professional engineers and others, ap- pointed by the Secretary of the American Treasury to test an important improvement in the construction of naval steam-engines, the invention of Capt. Ericsson- which is to create, it is said, a new era in steam navi. gation." We give the particulars as they have been ab- stracted by a contemporary. There appears to be an apparatus called an evaporator, and another a condenser, conveniently arranged amidst the machinery so as to occupy very little space. By this the steam, after per- forming its work, is converted into water, and forced back into the boiler-again and again taking the same routine. As some of the steam will always be lost by loose joints, the evaporator supplies the deficiency from the element in which the vessel floats; and from this increased supply of steam the condenser affords any de- sired amount of fresh water. The whole is said to be complete and perfect, and the following results obtained -I. A steamer may go to sea and complete her voyage without ever having one particle of salt water in her boiler, if she will begin it with fresh water. 2. She need not carry any tanks of fresh water, but can make it from the sea at will; thus saving the space for fuel. 3. Be- sides the supply for the boiler and culinary purposes, enough of fresh water can be made to allow each sailor a bath every day-the supply may be so ample. 4. The fire need never be extinguished to relieve the boiler of salt or mud, as neither salt nor mud will ever get in; thus saving fuel. 5. The boiler will require little or no watching; being once arranged, the machinery will do the rest, and keep up the exact supply of pure water. 6. A boiler at sea, especially in the Gulf of Mexico, will last two or three times as long as at present, as no im- purities will be admitted there any more than on the lakes. 7. Nearly one-fifth of the fuel will be saved, as the heat will act on the plates and flues, free of incrusta- tions from salt or mud, and the water from the condenser, while very hot, will be pumped into the boiler. 8. A low-pressure engine will answer on the Mississippi and Missouri, as well as on streams of clear water, as the muddy water will be evaporated, the vapourre-condensed, and forced into the boilers as clear as crystal. 9. The awful bursting of the boilers so often occurring on the western waters, may be arrested in toto as the saving of fuel, and the equal adaptation of the low-pressure engine will induce its substitution in lieu of the powder magazines, as the engines now in use may be called. 10. The oil used around the piston of the cylinder, and the rust on the boiler, may impart a little of their taste at first to the steam and water; but a very simple filter will make it as pure as when distilled in the chemist's la- boratory.

THE VICE-CHANCELLOR, SIR J. LEWIS KNIGHT BRUCE. HAVING seen in a contemporary paper-TItb London Journal-an engraving, with a sketch dt the Vice- Chancellor, KNtGHT BRUCE, we thought it would be acceptable to our readers,—with many of whom the Right Honorable Judge is so nearly connected, and to most of whom he is kriotfrl,—to transfer it to our columns. SIR JAMES LEWIS KNIGHT BRUCE, who is one of the Vice-Chancellors, and who is about fifty-five years of age, is a middle-sized, well-formed man, with a pale com- plexion, an oval face, a well-developed forehead, with small and regular features of a pleasant expression, and with lustreless eyes, produced, doubtlessly, by his short- sightedness. His countenance has an intelligent aspect and a thoughtful cast; indeed, his general appearance is thoughtful and meditative, with very little of that super- ficial and skin-deep quickness which usually denotes an absence of sounder qualities. When the additional Vice-Chancellors were appointed, a few years ago, Sir James Knight Bruce accepted the emoluments and honours of one of these judgeships; and, by so doing, he incurred neither envy nor animosity, for he had a prior claim in point of long standing and high rank, and was equal to any man at the Chancery- bar. At the time when he made this leap to one of the most exalted stations connected with the profession, he had risen into the greatest business, was entrusted with the management of the most important cases, and had established the highest reputation. Even among lawyers his abilities and learning were undoubted and although his elevation was not expected to be so early, it was con- sidered eventually certain. The eyes of all parties were fixed upon him as one who, from his high talents and at- tainments, was quite equal to the arduous duties of the office which he now fills, and time has proved that he is fully competent. His decisions are luminous in point of arrangement, and forcible in point of argument. Men of his stamp-of his solid qualities and attainments-seem born for such situations as the office of a judge. It is the sphere in which they should move-to which they should belong. Sir James Knight Bruce was called to the bar in No- vember, 1817, after having pursued his studies as a member of the Society of Lincoln\Inn, of which, by the way, he is now a bencher, and has been for many years. After being called to the bar, he soon brought himself into notice by his talents, which were of a superior order and tor many years had, as a barrister in Chancery, an extensive aud very lucrative business, his clients being for the most part persons of great wealth, and the ques- tions at issue generally involving properly to a very large amount. His chief excellence consisted in his rea. soning powers, and he was a good arguer of a question. He could enforce a particular topic with considerable vehemence and effect; he could bring to bear upon it all the facts supplied, and he could state those facts with precision and clearness. He also contemplated more than this point; for he carried on the chain of his rea- soning from one thing to another until he had enriched the whole case. Possessing, indeed, a logical head, he arranged and constructed an argument with the same attention to proportion and relation of parts, as an archi- tect constructs a building. Some men, when they read the most complicated cases, dispose of all the parts in their fit places as they proceed, according to the conclu- sions at which they are desirous of arriving in time it becomes almost a mechanical habit with thjm and the distinct view they themselves take of a case is sure to meet with a corresponding distinctness of statement. This was one of the admirable requisites of Sir J. Knight Bruce as an advocate. His facts were always arranged so as to show their bearings upon each other, aud what with others would generally have been a mere detail, was by him so aitfully arranged, that it was really an argument in favour of the side he supported. He was thus a skilful pilot of what is culled an unseaworthy case, and sometimes brought it into port in safety, in spite of its own rottenness, and of all the winds and waves of opposition. It will be seen that his peculiar merits and qualifications were such as to be most useful in a Court of Cliancerv — a court where eloquence is little needed, and where a coherent and perspicuous statement of circumstances, with the arguments resulting from them, is much more essential. He is, perhaps, not a brilliant orator: but the merit of being a good and clear speaker cannot be denied to him when one takes into consideration, what has just been mentioned, his combined and concentrated detail of facts, and his faculty of putting things in their right places. From having acquired this facility, and pecu- liarity of thought and comprehension, he never delivered speeches that were a jumbleu and confused mass of things but, on the contrary, every thing being put in its proper place, and everything being duly supported, had its legi- timate force and strength in aiding the course of his argument. It now remains for us to say a few words regarding the style of the distinguished individual before us, and his external manner, while speaking. His mode of speaking was forcible, but its principal fault was that it was, perhaps, too pompous. It had not sufficient variety; there was too little relief. His language was always well chosen, and showed that he was a scholar and a man of general education. A vulgarism never escaped his lips, and his sentences were usually full and complete: they were perhap3 somewhat too long. On these accounts his style was well adapted to a continued legal argument. His action had little about it that was remarkable, but certainly nothing that was offensive. He did not excel in the use of his arms one, while he was speaking, was, in most cases, little more than an encumbrance so spa- ring was he in the use of it—and the other was occasionally brought into action in enabling him to raise his glass to his eye, either when about to read some passage beariii" on the question before the court, or when about to cas" an apparently contemptuous look at the counsel who chanced to be pi!ted against him. His head was the member of his body which he pressed most liberally into the service of his client, iu the way of action he wheeled it about with great activity and rapidity, from the jud"e to the opposing counsel, and from the opposing counsel to the judge. Sir James Knight Bruce never suffered from that very great and distressing drawback to a barrister—self-distrust. In every case he assumed an assured air very useful to his success. This, however, was not done at all offen- sively it appeared the effect of a strong conviction of the truth of what he Was delivering, and not of a Used determination and studied endeavour to impose. His countenance very much aided him in this particular: it possessed a sedate gravity, at the same moment both "stern and mild;" firm without fierceness, ani severe without austerity—thoughtful, penetrating, and serene indicating a temper not easily moved, yet not by any means devoid of feeling and expression. Of the learning of the eminent subject of this sketch, we believe that no person competent to form an opinion entertains a doubt—his talents, his acquirements, his character, his temper, all unite to recommend him to the high station of the law which he now occupies. As to his academical honours, he is a Doctor of Civil Law; and, independently of being one of the Vice- Chancellors, he is the Recorder of Brecon; and up to the passing of the Reform Bill, he represented the borough of Bishop's Castle in Parliament.

To the Editor of the Cardiff §• Merthyr Guardian. SIR,-Shall Ordovicis still go on uttering his turgid boast- a,id no one express his disapprobationShall C.imbro Sacef Jo*, under another name, again modestly tell us that no one knows so much of the Church ia Wales as himself, without allowing every one to decide for himself on this point ? Shall he still continue to calumniate the living as well as the (].¡Jaù dignitaries of our Holy Church, and no one lift up his voice against him? Djes no one indignantly rebut these calumnies? Shall we all be silent I Semper ego auditor tantuin ? Nunquaranc repoaana, Vexatus toties rauci Theseide Codh i" Impunc them consumserit ingens Tclephus, ant summi plena jam margine libri Scriptus, et in tergo necdum finitus Prestes ?" No, surely, this shall not be. The Dean of Laudaff has set us a good example. He has wrested, and more than wrested, the reputation of a pious and learned Prelate from the hands of a calumniator. Whoever shall attentively peruse the calm and dignified, yet severe, rebuke of the Dean to Ordovicis, cannot but be struck with the contrast it exhibits to the self-compla- cency and self-conceit of the latter. If the calm and gentle- manly language of the Dean be compared with the boastful effusions of Orduvicis, few will say that this last gains aught by the comparison. The Dean most truly observes, that whatever good the wri- tings of Ordovieis might effect, is counteracted by his sarcastic (lie might with truth have added his bombastic) style. But this is not his only fault. Another charge may be brought against him that of absurdly seizing upon facts which clearly have no reference whatever to the matter of which he is treating and beading them to suit the purpose he may have iu view at the moment, without paying any regard to what he hfcts said before. Many instances of thin icious method of writing might be brought forward. Let one suffice. This shall be taken from two consecutive portions of the interminable letter he has ad- dressed to Lord John KusseM.—By the way, as this letter is addressed to the Prime Minister, I presume Ordovicis has for- warded a copy to him. It might be a curious enquiry to ascer- tain, to what purpose that functionary would apply such an endless labyrinth of paper?—But to my charge. In the last portion but one of this said letter, Ordovicis tells us that the Diocese of St. Aspah toat, and that of Bangor still continues to be, blessed with Bishops, equally good, equally pious, and equally regardless of the claims of their relatives. This is all most true. The same Ordovicis, under the title of Cambro Sacerdos, (he has virtually acknowledged that himself and Cambros Sacerdos are one and the self-same person), has told as that these two Dioceses had, before the times of Carey and Bethell, been cursed with Bishops equally grasping, and equally given to the sin of nepotism. Now, in the last portion of the same letter to the Prime Minister, he ascribes the deficiency in education, which the Commissioners have declared to exist in the Diocese of St. Asaph, to the system of nepotism pursued by the Bishops of this Diocese. If this be the reason, wiil Ordo- vicis tell us why this deficiency does not prevail equally in the Diocese of Bangor ? According to his own showing, these two Dioceses have been equally blessed and equally cursed in their Bishops. Ordovicis glosses over this insurmountable obstacle by informing us that the time during which Dr. Carey presided over the Diocese of St. Asaph was not sufficient to eradicate the evils of his predecessors. Will Ordovicis tell us whether this period was so very much shorter than that during which Dr. Bethell has presided over Bangor, as to cause such a wide difference in the state of education in the two Dioceses ? Such a reason as he has alleged may be satisfactory enough to Ordo- vicis himself, but will it be so to the public ? Now, Dr. Carey, has been dead not quite two years. Is Ordovicis prepared to say that this falling off in education, in the Diocese of St. Asaph, has arisen siuce his death ? And that because within the last year a teacher of nouns and substantives" has been instituted to the living of Gresford, for this reason that parish has retrogaded as far as education is concerned ? Unless Ordo- vicis can answer these questions in the affirmative, he must tell us what period elapsed between the appointment of Dr. Bethell to Bangor, and Dr. Carey's being preferred to St. Asaph. Whichever of these two things he may do, the public will see the utter worthlessness of his argument when he alleges that nepotism is the cause of education being less advanced in the Diocese of St. Asaph than it is in that of Bangor. My own opinion (and 1 advance it with great diffidence) is, that these short-comings of the Diocese of St. Asaph may be more properly ascribed to the poverty of some parts of this Diocese when compared with that of Bangor. We all know what an influeuce the presence of the higher classes of society exerts in improving the condition and education of the lower classes. On examining the Clergy List, I find that the Diocese of St. Asaph comprehends nearly the whole of the remote and thinly-inhabited counties of Montgomery and Merionethshire while to these the Diocese of Bangor opposes the comparatively highly-cultivated and richly-populated counties of Anglesea and Carnarvon. Whatever, however, may be the cause of this state of things, Ordovicis himself has shewn us that it cannot be the one Le alleges. Before I conclude, let me recommend Ordovicis to weigh well inihis own mind that piece of advice which Horace gives to all van-glorious writers, that their study and aim should be Non ex fulgore dare fumum, sed ex fumo dare lucem." Whoever has taken the trouble to compare the bold and con- fident commencement of Ordovicis' letter with the after part, as far as it yet goes (and Heaven knows it has gone far enough already !) can best say whether this advice is applicable to him or not. M.S. [This letter was received last week, but not inserted, as the writef omitted to send us hit www,— £ &• J

I TO ORDOVICIS. Sm,—The only apology I can have for writing to you isthatthesubjectisnotaprivateone. I have seen your letters 0:1 the state of Education in Wales, in some of the newspapers, in abridged and detailed pieces. I beg leave to suggest most humbly that these letters, together with your letter to Lord John Russet), be published iu a pamphlet and distributed in a cheap form. I think they would thus obtain a more extensive circulation, and would obtain their desired effect. I should also like to see the sermons on the Church in Wales published in a pamphlet, and translated into Welsh. The people are as ignorant about the origin of Dissent as about Mahometanism, or the religion of the Sikhs. Such tracts, then, as those most excellent sermons would be most useful; and sure I am that the country is ripening for such information. They are groaning under the bur- dens placed upon them by their ignorant leaders. I can- not now help expressing my respect for a person who has had the courage to stand alone and draw the veil which covered the shameful abuses which Welsh cowardice alone could tolerate so long. I hope that you will excuse the freedom which I have taken in writing to you. I am, Sir, yours obediently, Lampeter, Feb. 7, 1843. a To the Editor of the Cardif A- Merthyr Guardian. SIR,- Your attention is respectfully requested to a pro- posed Prize Essay, to be written by working men (advertised in another column) to be devoted to the advocacy of the Christian Sabbath. The sudden spread of railways has been attended by a great outbreak of Sabbath traffic in the conveyance of pas- sengers. And the deserved reputation for Christian worth of some men who have hitherto stood neutral on this subject shows the necessity for an immediate and earnest appeal to the Word of God, to ascertain what is the duty of all Christians, and to the views of the working classes, to in- quire whether they are willing to surrender this sacred pro- perty, entrusted to them by their beneficent Creator ? The proposer of this essay is deeply convinced that the Sabbath is, of all social institutions, the best gift of the Almighty to all classes, but especially to the poor. It is a sacred right of the people. To the working man the Sab- bath is an estate of time, a sacred property given him by his Maker for his whole well-being-physical, economical, mora', and spiritual. It is his day of emancipation. A week of seven working days-sabbathless months or years -mean perpetual vassalage and entire slavery. The man who has no Sabbath has no period for the cultivation of himself—in health, or mind, or heart, or soul. He ili robbcd of his home when robbed of the day God has given him for the cultivation of the family affections, without which home is heartless, cold, dark, and bitter. By a perpetual encase- ment of sordid toil-a poisonous Nessus robe, whose influ- ences extend to his soul—the immortal spirit of the man is unmanned, brutified, demoralised, and destroyed. It is submitted to the political economist whether the preservation of one day in seven for rest be not the best way of keeing up the efficiency of labour,-to the friend of humanity, whether the Sabbath be not the most humane of institutions; while there is confidently claimed for it from the friend of the people, the admission, that the Sabbath is the best of the rights of the people. But. above all, the proposer of this essay would submit to Christian men, who rightly place spiritual well-being high- est, whether the preservation of the Sabbath is not a tine qua non to the progress of Christianity. To them lie would strongly recommend the perusal of a Series of Tracts for the Times, now in course of publication, the object of which is to exhibit the infallible teaching of the Word of God on the subject. The Authors belong to most of the Evan- gelical Denominations; the series may be regarded, there- fore, as embodying the voice of the Churches. The cricis is imminent and immediate, and all-important -therefore he moat respectfully says to all," Head, and judge for yourselves." A FRIEND OF THE WORKING MAN.

DEPLORABLE CALAMITY.—On Sunday morning week, a lad named Robert Webb, between 16 and 17 years of age, lost his life at Longford, near Gloucester, through the incautious use of fire-arms. It appears that the lad, whose father is a labouring man re3iding at Longford, had bought a gun, and on Sunday morning he and a brother went out shooting. After firing several times, the deceased got through the hedge of Mr. Page's home- ground, and was pulling the gun through the hedge by the muzzle, when it exploded, and instantaneously his hat was seen spinning high in the air. The brother and a companion immediately ran up to the spot, when they found the gun standing up in the hedge, and the deceased lying flat on his face, with the back part of his head nearly blown away. The boys tried to lift him up, but being unable to do so, they ran and fetched his father, who carried him hQme, but be wag dead,

THE SILENT FRIEND is a Medical Work, written in language devoid of professional technicalities, on the physical disqualiifcations affecting the generative system in both sexes. It contains an elaborate and carefully-written account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Organs in Man which are directly and indirectly concerned in the func- tion of generation (illustrated by coloured engravings). and the Causes and Consequences resulting from the baneful practice by which the vigour and manliness of Life are enerv- ated and destroyed, even before nature has fully established the powers and stamina of the constitution. Local and gene- ral debility, nervous irritability and excitement, consumption, indigestion of the most fearful and exhausting kind. intense melancholy and depression of the spirit!, and partial or com- plete extinction of the re-productivo powers, &c., are thus produced. In the Stm\T FRIEND, the chapter devoted to the consideration of these dreadful cotnpl.iiniscontains also an account of the tneana by which they may be prevented and removed, so as to restore the sufferer to the full enjoyment of health and the functions of manhood. The consequences resulting from venereal contamination are next pointed out. and the nature and chaiacter of Gonor- rhoea, Gleet, Stricture, and Secondary Symptoms of every kind, are clearly explained, with directions for cure. Their dangerous effects on the human economy are sufficiently dila- ted on, and a means is also indicated by which the recurrence ot these diseases may in every ins'auee be completely prevented. The work terminates with a chapter on the obligations of mar riago, the physical impe iimeu's which tend to disqualify the caudidate for that holy state, and the directions necessary for their removal. The work is illustrated by the detail of cases, and by 26 coloured engravings on steel, thus rendering it what its name purports it to be, the true but silent friend to all suffering from the consequences of early error and vice,—a work which may be consulted without expos ue, and with every assurance of complete success and benefit.

PART THE FIRST of this work is dedicated to the consi- deration of the Vuaioiny and Physiology of the generative functions. It embraces u succinct account of all the organs in man which are engaged in the important function of the re- production of the species, and the mode in which self-abuse operates to the injury of the human frame, and the destruc- tion of the special and vital powers. This is illustrated by six coloured engravings. PART THE SECOND treats of the infirmities and decay of the system produced by over indulgence of the passious. The existence of nervous and sexual debility and incaparit with their accompanying train of symptoms and disorders, are treated by the chain of connecting results to this cause. This section is illustrated by three coloured engravings, which fully display the effects of physical decay. PART THE THIRD contains an accurate dnscriptton of the diseases caused by infection, an-a by t/a" abuse of mercury: primary and secondary symptoms, erupllons of the skin, sore throat, inflammation of the eyes, disease of the bones,gonor- rhoea, gleet, stricture, &c., are shown to depend on this cause. Advice for the treatment of all these diseases and their con- sequences is tendered in this section, which if dulv followed up, cannot fail in effecting a cure.

The CORDI AL BX LM of SYRIACUM is oxpressly em- ployed to renovate the impaired powers of life, when ex- hausted by the influence exerted by solitary indulgence on the system. lIS action is purely balsamic; its power in reinvigor- ating the frame in all cases of nervous and sexual debility, obstinate gleets, impotency, barrenness, and debilities arising from venereal-excesses, has been ilemonstiated by its ullvary- ing success in thousands of cases To those persons who are prevented entering the married state by the consequences of early errors, it is invaluable.

LONDON MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. MONDAY. The supply of all grain fresh up to the market of this morning was more moderate than last week indeed, of some ki.tda of corn the show of samples was decidedly small, yet the trade o,>ened without activity, and buyers acted without any degree of freedom. Wheat has brought the rates of last Monday, and fully these where the sample was a little better thau the ordinary run, but the general con- d tion was very second-rate. Barley met a slow sale, and, m some instances, at barely last week's prices. The demand for oats is still contracted to-day, and this grain is unchanged io quotations. Beans and peas of all kinds are the turn cheaper. In dour or malt there is no variation to notice. In the seed market little has been done either in clover or other kinds of grass seed for other varieties the rates of last week are well supported.

SMITH FIELD, MONDAY. The arrival of Continental Beasts aud Sheep into the port of London during the pist week have been usually 1Im,JII-67 Oxen, 41 Cows, 41 Calves, and 137 Sheep, making a total of only 2S6 head. The following statement of the imports of Live Stock from the Continent into England during the present year is taken from an official sonrce, cor- rected up to last Saturday week: — Oxen, Cows. Sheep &u. „ & Calves. Lain'is. London .from Jan. 1 to Feb. 5, 1848 1,255 6 456 17 Liverpool ..from Jan. 1 to Feb. 5, ISIS — Hull .from Jan. 1 to Feb. 5, 184ft 4 — — Southampton from Jan. 1 to Feb. 5, IttlS —. Yarmouth ..from Jan. 1 to Feb. 5, 1848 131 50- Total 1,390 6.506 17 The general tone of trade to-day was better rather, but for Beef there wat not a great demand, and many head of Beasts remained unsold. The supply of Shltep was again small, causing more activity in the Mutton trade at former rates. The number of Beasts offered on sale was about 300 more than on Monday last, the return giving 3,830 head. The Beef trade was heavy at a decline of about 4J. per stone upon former currencies, and at the reduction many remained on haad at the close of the market. Prime Scots fetched 4s. 8J. and middling Beef 4s. 4d. per stone. The supply of Sheep was between 16,000 and as the butchers were pre- pared to purchase more liberally, the shortness of the- supply produced a rather brisk trale at 5s. 4d. for tine Downs, and from 4s. 4d. upwards for other qualities. There was a steady trade transacted in Veal and Pork at unaltered currencies. Statement of Prices and Number of Cattle at Market. Beef ..4s. 0d 4s. 4d., 4s. 8d.
