A meeting of the electors of Salisbury was held on Thursday evening last, at the Assembly We're', in that city, fur the purpose of considering the steps to he taken, • itl. • view to obtain from the candidates at the coming election a promise to support the ballot in the House of Commons. The room was densely crowded, and the chair was taken by Mr. W. BOTLEY. Mr. E. W. Whitehurst and Mr. John Jenkins, the secretary of the Ballot Society, attended as a deputation from the Ballot Society of London. The CIIAIRNIAII, in openieg the meeting, said that the subject of the ballot was nut a new one in Salisbury, for 2 0 years ago some of the greatest reformers of the day, in cluding Captain, afterwards Admiral, Louverie, anti the Earl of Radnor, advocated the ballot at meetings held wet k alter week in the Ladling in which they were at preset:: assembled. (liear, hear.) Mr. 'loop, au proposing the first resolution, said ho be lieved that, whalers position a man occupied, he did not lose has eitixeush.p, but was still a member of the commu nity, and, it possessed d the fran . 'wise, entitled to use it no let= his conscience ho believed to be right. (Hear, hear.) lie therefore came forward to give expression to his op ulent on the subject of the balm, on wt.i,h he had rend and thought much fur a number of years, uud the resolu tion a hicn he was hbout to read to 'lron expressed his con scientious fiElingo in the matter. It was--.` That it is the opinion ut thus meeting that the bribery, intimitlotien, and veered prothgticy at parliamentary ecctiona exposed to fore election c =suttees and commissioners are fast ten:ling to ...... dc•troy the tespect due to representative government, mid have been t =enraged 14 the system of open voting ; and I that no remedy exists for such demoralising pr-dices but the adoption of vote by ballot." Mi. BANTON seconded the resolution. Mr. E. C. WILITZUVIIST, in supporting the resolution, after expressing his regret that no older and abler repre sentative of the society was enabled to attend, said the els ject of the Bailin Sue,ety was nut to interfere with that: in the free exercise of the franchise, but merely to coanstl and advise them, and he would recommend them either to support a candidate who was in favour of the ballot, or else nut vote at ull. The billet was the great question of the th.y, and was espoused by men et all shades of political opinion, who ease the folly of putting A man to possession of avote and yet allowing him to be dictated by sum.body else in the use of it. lie would advise them Let on any account to vote for au anythingarian ; it would be better not vote at all than to support sock en our. It would' Ise needless for him to attempt to demonstrate to them that the constitution was deficient in prvtec , ing the voter from bribery and intimidation ; thi y knew that full well. The parliamentary constitution of England was behind all other countries. America, Be.gium, Switzerland, and even France, were all in advance of this country. That was a tact. and bribery and corruption were on the in crease, netwithstanding the legislative enactments which had been made to suppress it by punishment. Nu remedy which bad )et been tried had proved effectual, and none would ever be but the ballot, which would remove the result now sought to be obtained, and secured by most unjustifiable and uneonsfitutonal ;means. To use the words of Lard John Russell, " If this is to be achieved, it must be gained by the unequivocal expression of the public voice." Then let them use every exertion iu their power to wrest from a hostile parliament and au unwildng minis try, that freedom of Owing, without which, to the liumblt elector, the power of voting was a mockery, a delusion, and a snare. (The speaker resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic 'misuse, and the resolution was carried by acclamation.) Mr. VANDkNIIOEF proposed the second resolution— " That this meeting is of opinion that this city having hitherto returned two supporters of the ballot, it will be derogatory to it to send any member to parliament who will not vote far that measure, Farticularly as it is an open question in the government, many members of which give t their support ; and more especially us in tee ensuing ses sioa of parliament a new r,fe.rm bill is promised, which without the ballot will be a mockery, a delusion, and a snare." He believed the ballot would be as great a boon as free trade. (Hear.) Mr. SWORN seconded the resolution. Mr. JOHN JIIINKINS, the secretary to the Ballot Society, then addressed the meeting at great length. He said there was no question of greater political importance than the ballot. It was one in which their frcdom, their rights as electors, and as men of whatever opinions they might be, were involved, and 'oy which they mast ultimately stand or fall. It was a mere clap-trap to call it uti-Eng:ish. (Hear.) lie trusted they would not be satisfied until they saw the House of Commons what it prole,sed to oe—the people's house—and the members of it elected by the people. (Ap plause.) In conclusion he called upon them to set as man fully in their agitation for the ballot as they did for the repeal of the corn laws, and their efforts would be tri umphantly crowned with success. (Applause.) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. WstEnzav proposed " that a copy of these resolu tion, be forwarded to the candidates fur the representation of this city in parliament." Isle. SOMMER seconded the motion, which was adopted, and a committee appointed to carry it out. A vote of thanks to the chairman and tke deputation terminated the proceedings. The committee had an interview with MajorGencral Buckley, on Friday, and wo are informed uu very good authority, that the assurances given by the candidate were such as to induce the erommittee to abandon any intentions they might have entertained of bringing forward a candi date pledged to support their views. FRAUD UPON THE CORPORATION OF Lit-ERPOOL. __~ The magistrates at the Liverpool Police Court ot. Saturday were engaged investigating a charge of conspiracy to defraud the Mayor and Corporation brought againstlr. William Rawson, a contractor, and Mr. Wm. Clarke, a clerk of works. Sir. Siwn, instructed by Mr. Walter, appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. Snowball for Mr. Rawson, while Mr. Clarke was defended by Mr. Bremner. From the evidence of Mr. Weightman, surveyor for the corporation, it appeared that the C irporation commenced building the new gaol at Walton, in 1849, and he at that time appointed the prisoner Clarke to undertake the super ' intendence of the bricks delivered, and it was his duty to mtaraine the bricks, and certify for the number delivered. Be (Mr. Weightman) in 1851 entered into a verbal contract with Mr. Rawson to supply bricks at prices ranging from lga to 275. 6.1. per 1,090, accordirg to the quality of the %wink, and according to the certificate signed by Clarke the number of bricks made up to the close of the mason on the 13th or 14th September, 1851, was 6,150,230, and the num ber of stools were stated to be nine. lie gave five certifi cates for payment—one for 7001. and four for 1,0001. each ; and on the 26th August, 1852, he made a debtor and ere. ditor account of the whole transactions from Mr. Clarke's books, and after making some deductions, amounting to 4341. 18s. 9d., from Mr. Rawaon'e account, he found the balance remaining in Mr. Rawson's favour to amount to 4241. 16s. 9d., for which he certified, and which was paid by the treasurer. Mr. A. Tweedie, clerk in the treasurer's office, proved having paid Mr. Rawson the money fur the bricks, and pro duced the receipts. Five brickmakers who had been in the employ of Mr. Rawson during the season of 1851 were examined with a view of showing that the amount et bricks alleged to have been made and delivered at the gaol was not correct—as only eight brickmakers were employed—not nine as alleged —and one ot the witnesses, named Chamick, wt . !) every witness cumine d admitted made the most in the field, only formed 600,000 during the scasau. Another made 530,000, a third 547,000, the fourth 595,000, and the fifth 440,000. Every witness said that only one man (or et the most two) in forty cud make 713,49(1 bricks in a sec-on— the amount necessary to make up the nuraher alleged to he delivered). After them witnesses had been examined, Mr. Simon applied for a remand until Saturday next, which, after some demur on the part of Mmes. Bremner and Snowball, was agreed to. The bail on Rawson was fixed at 1,0051., and two sureties of 5001. each; and on Clarke 500/., and two suretica 251/. each. TUE DECIIESS OF GLOUCESTER.—The Duchess of Gloucester is ill. For some time past her royal highuA , s has been indisposed, and latterly a cough has been ♦ery troublesome, and has hitherto battled the skill of her medi cal attendants.

Mien within a few wiles of her destination, on the 13th of August, the Victoria was was discovered to he on tire, owl, having as many as 400 barrels of gunpowder stowed away in her hold, the crew, as may be imagined, were seized with considerable alarm, and at once took to the beets, and succeeded in getti n g be yond reach of danger, when the explosion took plae. , , shivering the ship into atoms. Fortunately, a ship was attracted to the spot by the intense light of the explosion, and picked up the crew in the boats, who were tended nt Melbourne a sew days afterwards.

In case he should commit such a political fault, which is not very probable, the reply of the Spanish government will soon be given ; it will ener getically protest its firm resolution to defend the in tegrity of the territory belonging to Spain.

A large fleet of collier vessels for London, which have been detained with long continued southerly winds, left the Tyne, Wear, Seabam, Hartlepool, and other porta on the Durham and Northumberland coast by this morn- log's tile. Afore than three hundred vessels left the Tyne alone, and they all have s fine wiud to Yarmouth Roads, which, if the spanking b that we have to-night keeps up, they will reach tomorrow; and, all going on well, may arrive in the pert fur Tuesday's market. Notwith standirg the prestnce of so teeny veuels in our ports, coal Mighty still keep steady both for London and the markets of North Europe: they are 10s. 61. per ton to London, l 3 to Southampton, and about IW. a keel for Hamburg. This is a very bu•y sod prosperous autumn fcr shipowner., and they will have good balances to show at the end of the year, notwithstanding the heavy averages they were called upon to pay, arising out of the severe loss of shipping in the North Sea last winter. There is reason to fear that the shipowners and seamen will get thoroughly embroiled with regard to the manning clauses, and other regulations put forth by the union of the latter, without some mediation takes place between them. The Shields owners have had offices fir three weeks for engaging seamen Woo do not belong to the union, and have an agent down in Scotland for the purpose of sending up Scotch seamen. As yet he has not been able to prevail upon more than a score to come up, and those, when they reached Shields, were, the principal part of them, induced to join the Seamen's Union. A reward of 101. is offered by the Owners' Association for the appreheneion of some of the Union seamen, who they allege trepanned some of those unfortunate Scotehmen.

SLIME OF A CONSTABLE—PoIice-constable John 11`Cormack, 131 T, destroyed himself on Friday morning at the station, Brook-green, Ilurnmeramith. The deceased bad bees in the force about hve years, and was generally employed to drill the men of hi. die i ion. in consequence of his having been a soldier in the Ith Light Dragoons. Ile was one of the mounted patrol, and the last time he was seen alive was about G o'clock on Friday morning, me the stables, where be was supposed to be going to look after his horse. At Si o'clock the deceand was diszover..l another constable suspended by a rope, which was listened to the roof of the loft over the stables. It seemed, from the position in which be was found, that he had previsusly obtained one of the halters in the stables, and loosened one of the ends to fasten to the roof. In order to reach it he must have got on to a beam, and haring made a noose in the rope Timid his neck , he then threw himself off from the beam, and strangulation must have ensued almost im mediately afterwards. Upon being discovered au alarm was quickly made, and the deceased was cut down, and he was found to he finite dead. The deceased, who was about forty year; of age, hs-1 been dull and oppressed for souse time past, and it is, attributed to his being embarrassed in his all .irs, and there is no doubt that the fear of being prose cuted by his creditors o p erated strongly upon his min 1 - . and THE CHOLERA. Mow the °metal Board of Ilealth.) It appears from the spacial returns made by the superintend. iits of the 1), K, M, N, and V divi sions of police to the commissioners, and by them transmitted to the Genetll Bond of Health, there had been 11 castes of cholera within those districts on the 2tlth and 27th instant, of which 5 have resulted fatally. In two instances the patient died 14 hours hours after attack, and in a third in 12 hours from the time of seizure. A very severe case of cholera is reported as having occurred at Blackheath. The patient, a child, was at the time of the report of the surgeon in a state of col lapse and dying. The house is " one of Bin a small place, misname l a Pquare, all without water and drainage, and all with overflowing closets." In my opinion (adds the medical attendant) " all are unfit for human habitation, and all ought to be closed to prevent further eases of cholera.' A fatal case oc . Curred in the house directly opposite in 18;9, and dkeases of a low type, fever, &c., have prevailed ever since that ',cried. The same surgeon, in report ing the abovementioned ease in 1849, at that time stated his conviction that these houses were " unlit fur hums- habitation." Mr. Hall, from the Poor-law Board, and Dr. Milroy, (root the General Board of Health, had an interview on Thursday with the board of guardians of Wandsworth. The union embraces the parishes of Battersea, Wandsworth, Putney, Claphain, Tott ing, and Streatham, districts varying much in respect of natural advantages as well as of other local circum stances intimately affietiug health. The full extent of the ,eit rous and eery responsible additional duties imposed oa parochial medical officers by the regula tions and directions, which the general Board of Health have issued under the present order io council, would not appear to have been quite eppreciated by these gentlemen or by the board of guardians. After the explanations given by Mr. Hall and D. Milroy the board at once recog tibia the importance of the suggestion that the duties of sanitary inspection and general hygienic superintendence of the union be committed to their medical officeis by passing a formal resolution to this effect. Hitherto retident medical gentlemen have been exposed to considerable obioquy, and the 6,1 of injury to their professional prospects when called upon occasionally to certify to the existence of nuisances on the premises of the inhabitants, or to make complaints of the unwholesomeness of many dwellings, the property it may be of an influential parishioner. But these inconveniences are of course at once got rid of when it is understood that these gentlemen have no option left them in the discharge of duties officially imposed upon them, and which arc no longer merely voluntary or permiesive but impe rative and compulsory. Independently of being constituted the sanitary inspectors of their respective parishes or districts, the medical officers are required to act as health officers et the same time, by maintain ing a vigilant surveillance over the health of the poorer classes, so us to detect at once and bring under immediate treatment all cases of epidemic disease from their first development. Should any consider able increase of sickness take place, so that they cannot officially undertake the additional duties re quired of them, they are without delay to apply to the board of guardians fur such assistance as may be necessary. The nr.ehinery when once properly esta blished, in conformity with the regulations and direc tions of the General Board of Health, is capable of ready expansion whenever an emergency may occur. Many complaints were made by the members of the board of guardians respecting foul stagnant pools and ditches in different parts of the union, and allusion was made to the disastrous outbreak of cholera in 1845 among the pauper children at Toot ing, as being in part connected with the raking up of filthy ditches and the exposure of their putrid contents on the bank, without any means having been taken to correct or neutralise the noxious effluvia. There is no question that any disturbance of such foul matter is a most unwise proceeding in times of epidemic sickness, unless due precautions aro taken to prevent the atmospheric pollution by the free use of powerful antiseptics, as chloride of zinc, chloride of lime, with alum, &c., or by imme diately covering all offensive matters with a sufficient stratum of earth and quick lime. On the 28th inst. Dr. Milroy had an interview with the Boards of Guardians of Shoreditch and St. Luke. In both parishes the guardians have been energetically at work in removing many nuisances, cleansing out courts, and purifying the poorer dwel lings when found in a filthy and unwholesome con dition. Local committees, formed of the members of the board, have perambulated different districts, and already much good has resulted from their labours. In proof of their activity it may be mentioned that on one day no fewer than 21 owners of houses were summoned at the instance of the guardians of St. Luke before the magistrate at I% orehip-street for neglect and disobedience, and in es ery instance an order was obtained for suppressiou or removal of the nuisance complained of. Much diffi culty has been experienced in Shoreditch in dealing with the greater offences caused by the accumulation of dung and other offensive refuse io the yards of manure contractors, &c. These accu mulations excite the disgust and grievously injure the health of the residents in the neighbourhood. The only plan °rebating this abominable nuisance, if such occupations should be permitted at all in towns, is to requiretkodaily entire removal of the offensive matters so that no collection is ever permitted to remain. The usual pretext for delay, viz., the alleged difficulty of procuring barges or other means of daily . removal, should never be listened to. Where there is a will, and still more a necessity, there is always found a way. The defective and otherwise very faulty state of the sewerage in many parts is represented as a serious impediment in the way of sanitary improvement. With the view of giving greater efficiency . to the la bours of the local authorities in carrying out the regulations and directions of the General Board of Health, issued under the recent order in council, the boards of guardians in both parishes, after hearing the explanation given by Dr. Milroy, unanimously adopted the following resolution: „ That the medical officers be directed to Let forth with as sanitary inspectors, each in his own district, in pursuance of the directions of the Board of Health now in force. "That this board will be ready hereafter to con sider the extra remuneration of the medical officers, when the nature and amount of such extra services shall have been ascertained. " That the clerk do forward a copy of this resolu tion to the medical officers severally.' 'the very responsible duties of active sanitary inspection in conjunction with those of vigilant sut%cr vision of the health of the different districts are thus devolved upon those, who, by their local knowledge and their professional avocations, can most efficiently discharge them: thus making a first but very im portant step towards the formation of a health police.

In respect to these cases the regi,trar remarks thattlittle has yet been done to purify the houses where these and pre vious cases have «Tarred, or to ranove the nuisances.

A vacancy has been left on the Irish Episcopal Bench by the death of the Hon. and Right Rev. ))r. I'onsonby, Lord Bishop of Derry al.d Itaphoe, which took place at the episcopal pal Ace on Thursday. The deceased prelate was a supporter of the national educa tion system, and his political principles were those of the liberal party ; but the natural suavity and unob trusiveness of his manners, slid the perfectly un biasted mode in which he exercised his Fitrunage, were such as to secure for him the esteem of all par ties. His lordship hc.d, for the last few years, been in delicate health, having arrived at an advanced age. While he bird the dignity of Dean of St. Patrick's, he ws. a very popular preacher, his pulpit discourses being remarkable for chasteness and beauty of composition, and his appeals to the sym pathies of his audiences for the principal charities of the Irish metropolis were found most effective, never fai; ing to c lid! a liberal response. In the year MIS, Dr. Formby was elevated to the episcopal bench, having been then appointed Bishop of Kil 'aloe and Kilienora. He was translated t,, the dio cese of Perry in Is3l, and on the death of Pr. Bis sett he succeeded to the ace of Raphoe, the two dioceses being united under the Church Temporali ties Act. DEAI li OF LORD CLONCURRY. There is another death which I record with feel ings of sincere regret, namely, that of the venerable and patriotic Lord Cloncurry, a nobleman who has tills d on important place in the history of his country, whose private history, too, was one of more than usual interest; and who, by many social virtues and intellectual qualities, had won golden opinions from all men. His death is thus mentioned in rho Evening Port of to-uight : With the deepest sorrow we have to announce the death of Lord Cluasurry, which took p.ace tact night, ,t his re sidence, Maretiinc, Blaekrock. The intelligence of tlos melatitholy event, which will cause profound regret amoni,A as claws of Irishmen, only reached us this aft,•rnoon, so that we are unable to indulge our own (soling' by paying to the memory El the patriotic peer that tribute which his public virtues and his great private worth demand. Lord Cloncurry had reached h:s eighty-first year. From an early are he had taken an active part in public uffairs, entering with zeal and energy upon the political arctic, always on the popular side, at a period when patriotism W. 13 unfashionable- and often meat perilous. Far half a centuri h. had occupied a di•dirguisied posi tion, rentlerirg valuable at is ice by the itifluece • c t his sta tion and his manly assertion of princirle. But there were few mem who had mixed so much in the strife of politics who had Excited less of personal hestility, because he was gifted with a kind and generous divot itiou ; and there was no one acquainted with the purity of his moti:es and the benevolence of his nature who c. i..l f to esteem the man. At all times his chariees, as well as las Pfforts to pro:cote and reward merit in the art t , especially when the reputation of Ireland was to be advanced, were only limited by his resources. Particularly during the closing years of a long and honoured life, when age required repose and n tiremeut, Lord Cloccurry devoted 'dwelt wants of he nevolence with a sincerity which avoided all I,st:entitle/I, and with a discrimination which select...l the in. at fitting objects for his bounty. The lion. Eiward Lawless, of Lyons, eldest ,on of the late Lord Cloncurry, succeeds to the tide and estata. The Maynooth Commissioners have adjourned their sittings until after Christmas. Another extensive property—that of Peter Fitz gerald, Esq., commenly called the Knight of Kerry —was disposed of yesterday in the Incumbertd Estates Court. It consisted of lands in the counties of Kerry and L:mcrick, and produced a sum of 30,993/., being at au average of 20 years' purchase on the estimated yearly value. A small estate in the county of Cork was also sold, and produced 2,830/., equal to 19,1 years' purchase on the nett rental. The attendance at the Great Exhibition yesterday was the largest since the olwaiag, vralunting to nearly 19,000 persons. Still it was observed that several thousands =re could with ease find accom modation in the building. A large portion of the public arc now calling tor a postponement of the closing day. A case that has excised a great deal of interest in Dublin which could not call). be appreciated at a distance, has occupied the Criminal Couimission Court all day, and has been indeed the general topic of conversation here for several days past. It is a charge of shoplifting brought against a highly re spectable young lady, a Miss Margaret Cartwell, who along with her sisters keeps a most respectable school in one of the fashionable quarters of the city. It appears that same days since she was purchasing ribbons in the commercial house of Mcl-srs. Can nock and White, when one of the assistants saw her, as he believed, slip a piece of rihh.,a, which she had not paid for, into reticule. Ile immediately charged her with the theft, and she was taken to another apartment, where she remaihed until the police were sent for. On being searched, the stolen ribbon was not found on her, but it appears to have bern discovered aim tly afte: near where she was for some time sitting. The excitement caused by the case has been such that an application was made by the prosecutors to remove it into the Queen's Bench, and have it tried by a special jury ; 1 but this application was unsuccessful, and it came on in due course before the Chief Baron and Baron Richards, at the commission of oyer and terminer this day. A large bar of the moss distinguished counsel was engaged on both sides. The case had not terminated at the adjournment of the court.

INCREASE OF BELFAST SHIPPING.—We learn that the return of tonnage registered at this port for the current year will show a very gratifying increase upon that for 18.52 ; and that the additions of new shipping are principally vessels of large size, suited for the Australian and East India trails, which are " paying" much better than ever they did beMre. There is at present iu Prince's Dock a a very tine full-pooped new ship, the Mary Ann, built at a colonial port for Mr. Hugh NV:sallow, one of our principal shipowners. She registers 937 tens, and will be put inso this trade when she has been docked, coppered, &c.—Banner of Ulster. WRECK OFF COOLES POlNT.—Yesterday F riday) morning intelligence reached Captain Sibbald, 1 .N., in specting Commander of Coast Guards at Dundalk, that a large vessel—bottom upwards—had been observed wrecked hied 'trawled at Teaipletown Bay, inside of Cooley Point. Captain Sdsbald, accompanied by Joseph Farrell, Esq., Receiver of Admiralty Dreits, proceeded to the place named, and found the vessel there, in charge of the Coast Guards, a complete wreck, but they were unable to obtain any specific information as to her crew Cr cargo. A beat, about ten feet long had been picked up coneenient to the scene of the wreck, on the stern of which was painted— " John ar.d Anne—Peel " The wreck has been left in charge of Mr. Baldwin, It. N., Coast Guard otlicer at Cuoley Point. No further infornrition has yet been discovered re specting the unfortunate vessel.—Nmery Examiner. A CORONER'S Jugs.—lt having become known to Sub inspector Brett, of the Banda' Police-station, that a woman was going through the country inoculating chil dren for small-pox with some matter which caused nume rons deaths, he issued instractions to have her proceedings watched, and shortly after it was reported that a woman earned Catherine Hays bad inoculated four children, named Minahane, in the village of Kilbrittain. The sub-inspector then request-1 that the children should he attended by 1)r. Jagoe, the dispensary physician, who found them in a dangerous state. After close attention by him, two of th, m partially recovered, but the other two died en the 12th inst., they having been inoculated on the 4th. The Manes were interred in Kilbrittain chorchyord at night, but were sasequently exhumed by the police, who had an inquest held before Coroner Baldwin on the 18th inst. Conclusive evidence was given, charging Catherine Hayes with beiog the cause of the denthe, and the coroner pro ' 'weed to draw up the verdict, which was objected to by the jury, who said they would write their own verdict. They I pedantly declared their ability to perform their duty, the L foreman being a echoolmaster, and after considerable con sultation they brought in a verdict that " the children I died from vurryolous ruff, stuck into them by K•dty Hoye*, the wife of the smith." The prisoner was committed to the county gaol to await her trial at the next assize' for mouslaughter.—Cork Coastitulion. TIIE FORGERY ON THE BANK OF FRANCE. —A forged hank note of 101'r, h..s just been discovered at the Bock of France. It bear• the words " brie 1) 30, cration du 2 , i Juilict 1819 ;" and it was recognised to bo false-1, by the paper being thicker, leas phallic and a little more oily ; 2, by the borders Lying clumsily executed ; 3, by the white letters in the black ground being less distinct; and 4, by the characters of the words being smaller, especi ' ally in those:of" Cent francs." The hank warns the public to be on its guard against receiving such notes. MEAT ILLTAIL BC AUCTION.—The Sale of meat retail by auction, in Paris, commenced on Friday, at the Marche des Crouvaiics, iii the midst of a crowd of persons. 'illortunately, the eale was organist in such a way that the object of the administration has in a great measure been defeated. The butchers crowded the too limited epace re served fur the public, so that private purchasers could not approach, and all the meat of every kind was sold at the same bureau, by which considerable time was lost for the pitchman., SPORTING.
