~~"!~f 4110MEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. From the manufacturing districts the accounts are of a more satisfactory character ; greater ap tivity has prevailed in the cloth trade at Leeds, and the mills in the neighbourhood are generally well employed. At Bradford wools and yarns were at full rates, but the spinners were cautious in their operations. Piece goods were moderately active, and there has been a fair inquiry for light fabrics for the present season. Business at Manchester has been dull, with little change of importance to record in the demand for Indian fabrics. The hosiery trade of Leicester has shown Symptoms of revival, particularly in the cotton departments, the late beneficial change in the weather having stimulated the demand. At Bir• mingham no alteration of importance has taken place in the various manufactures connected with the town and neighbourhood; and . at Sheffield, Wolverhampton, and Walsall rather more activity has prevailed. The iron trade of South Stafford shire still continues heavy, with no change to report in prices. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday business continued active, and 12,000 bales were disposed of at previous rates. The Railway Share Market closed rather heavily, and prices tended downwards. The Niagara has arrived from America with £50,000 in specie. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending the 22d ult., exhibited a decrease of £845 compared with the same period in 1859. Business in Mark Lane has been rather dull, and wheat was only saleable at a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter. _ _ There is rather less demand for money, although the market still "remains in an active state, and the mercantile community are not yet enabled to obtain accommodation on easier terms. The bankers and brokers exhibit great caution owing to the recent failures and the serious losses they will entail ; at the same time respectable and well established firms are in a position to secure all the accommoda tion they require, and although suspensions may occur in other departments of business, credit, it is expected, will be satisfactorily maintained. Very little business has been transacted in the English Stock Market to-day, except in connec tion with the settlement, the quotations, however, are steadily maintained, dealings having taken place in Consols at 931 1 for money, and the quota tions for August is 93i /. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are rather flat at 931 Q. India Stock is marked 218 ex. div. ; ditto New Loan is firm at 1041 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper at 97 ; ditto 51 per Cent. ditto at 1021 ; and Exche quer Bills remain at par to 3s. prem. Very little business is recorded in Foreign Secu rities, and prices show no variation of importance. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 771 to 78 ; ditto New, 601 to 61; ditto 4 per Cents. are firm at 1021 ; and Braziiian 5 per Cents. (1839-59), at 981 ; Danish 3 per Cents are 831; Spanish Deferred have receded to 391; and ditto Passive have im proved to 201. _ _ _ The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are lt prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, prem. ; and the Universal, 8 1 4 prem. In the Railway Share Market the transactions have bsen restricted, but in a few instances a slight advance has taken place. Eastern Counties, Lan cashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, Midland, North,-Eastern (Berwick), and South Western, have each improved about ss. The Foreign lines and dull. Paris and Lyons realise 35, Northern of France 39, and Dqtch Rhenish, 10,1. The Colonial lines are inactive. Grand Trunk of Canada declined 55., and Great Western of Canada, ss. Great Indian Peninsula and Scinde brought former rates. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are at nominal quotations, no business of any import ance having been recorded.

In December last a considerable sensation was eaused at Marseilles by the failure of the Franco- et Belgian Sugar Refining Company, which ha d been B t established in that city in shares, and which was supposed to be going on most prosperously. The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Marseilles has st just been occupied seven days in trying the gerant of the company, M. Ramon de Zangronis, for ha y- 1 st -, 1 g violated the law o f July 17, 1856, on companies 8, in shares. The following facts were stated : The company inng question was established under the management e nominal capital of 3,ooro o n o is in April, 1858, with a 500 f., and, as the merchants of Marseilles in 6,000 shares of were glad to see a competition commenced , r efiner of importance i n th e city,withthey warmly sugar g o a n r . 8 . t ; c ouraged the new company. In the C 0 m n p A a h u y g u h s a t ahhl y Zangronis heen st.. ann ounced that, thou gh a few months in existence, he w rs a%a . ble to distribute 1, aiter o e f st. In the , 21,- per cent. to the share h olde rs January following he called a m eeting th o e oo s f ha h re- :I: holders,and announced that a profit of 1,133 been realized, and that it was sufficient,after deduct - ad 8 4 1 ing 15 per cent. for himself and other charges im- st: posed by the by-laws, to enable 133 f. per share to be paid. He represented that if the capital had st ; been larger, still greater profits would have been st: obtained, and he proposed to increase it to 5,000,000 f. This was readily agreed to by the shareholders, and, in order to show their satisfaction, they de cided that he should henceforth reseive 20 per cent. of the profits instead of 15. The increase of capital was effected by a new issue of shares, which were at once taken up. He subsequently several times announced in the mdnthly meetings aj a t s he Conseil de Surveillance that the company that th progressing in a remarkable manner, and stated 550,000 f e profits for July alone were for August, 120,000 f. ; for Sep tember, ?n ber, 62 25 per cent. t o 37°°E ; and for the month of Oeto- In J u ly he again distributed ber the stthe shareholders. Yet in Decem ber had announ ce ment was all at once made that the the value of th e e P sfir hasty examination a o r f es was the consequence. A payment, and a heavy fall in the acc oun t s showed that, instead of makin g th e gronis had representeselendid profits which Zan £2,so6 ° the company had sus tained a loss of 0 0f.—half the capital ; and a further investigation p roved r that the situa tion was even more deplor able, all the capital being gone, and there n ot be ing assets suffi cient to pay the numerous cre ditors scovered that in 5O per cent. t A mo ng other things, it w as making up the inventory on the It ber, 18 58 , which represented the last profitsd ay of Decem uP to than time to be, as already stated, 1,133.0001., Zangro n it realized h a d actually put down as profit it e m of 400,000 f., because a rise in r t h e an hof sugar happen e d t o t a ke place e price that day a rise which disappeared ten ci after. In consequence o f t hese facts Za ngronis wa s a 8 acc used of having -I st , by means of the publica tion of false statements made with bad faith, ob tained subscriptions to shares and payments of calls ; 2d, of having, without an inventory, or by means of e false inventory, effected between the shareholders a division of dividends not really ac quired, or, in other words, paid them out of capital; and, 3d, of having been guilty of irregular bank ruptcy by keeping incorrect accounts, and not making exact inventories. He was convicted on the first two charges only, and was condemned to a year's imprisonment and 501. fine. SHARE MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. Share Railways. !Pap.

THIS !NETS. Paid. Closing Frice. I Business done CORN EXCHANGE. 85 86 oti 95 il ; d 4i 41d Most of the country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, yet all kinds were a dull in quiry, and quite is per quarter lower in price. No change took place in the value of barley ; but all other articles had a drooping tendency. Throughout the Continent, wheat has been less active. In prices, however, no change of importance has taken place. All spring corn has continued in request at full currencies. In the United States, produce has come for ward somewhat freely, and large parcels of wheat have changed hands for shipment to England. Very little English grain reached our market last week. From abroad, however, large supplies came to hand, viz., 52,390 qrs of wheat, 4,590 barley, 134,664 oats, 310 beans, 1,536 peas, 90 tares, 2,390 linseed, 1,910 rapeseed, 2,345 maize, 480 sundry seeds, 2,707 sacks, and 7,012 barrels of flour. 6 61 75 80 70 75 68 73 id 3p 11 lid li d• 1 d 994 1} 1904 d par d par 99 99i 101 1014 21 22 274 284 90 02 55 60 67 72 57 62 55 60 974 98 Id fd 1 11d 1 10/ 114 96 98 96 98 96 98 90 92 86 88 964 97 90 92 14 1 d The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day coastwise and by land carriage were trifling, hence the show of samples was small. The demand for all kinds, however, ruled heavy in the extreme, and prices were nominally is to 2s per qr. lower than on this day se'nnight. The accounts at hand from our leading grain districts state that a considerable improvement has taken place in the appearance of the wheat crop during the past week. We were somewhat extensively supplied with foreign wheat. All descriptions were very dull, and to have forced sales quite 2s per qr. less money must have been submitted to by the factors. Floating cargoes were heavy, though offering on some what lower terms. There was a moderate sale for barley—the show of which was limited—at last week's quotations. Malt, however, was dull, on former terms. 5 7 The show of foreign oats being unusually heavy, the oat trade was dull, at fully is per quarter beneath last Mon day's quotations, Both beans and peas were adull inquiry, and rather cheaper. The flour trade was very dull, at drooping currencies. The supply of foreign flour was on the increase. CURRENCY PER IMPERYAL MEASURE. Wheat—Essex and Kent, red, new 478 to 558 Ditto, old 5OB 51.

The receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were again moderate, and most breeds came to hand in middling condition. Prime beasts sold steadily, other kinds slowly, at last Monday's currency. The general top figure for beef was ss. 6d. per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,900 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns; from other parts of England 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 23 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 20 oxen, &c. The show of sheep was moderately good, but there was a great deficiency in the quality of all breeds. rai,Lo Downs and half-breds were in fair request at full quotations; otherwise the mutton trade was inactive, at late rates. There was less activity in the lamb trade. However, compared with last week, no quotable change took place in prices. About 500 lambs came to hand from Ireland, and 130 from the Isle of Wight. Calves supported last week's currency, with a fair de mand. The supply was tolerably good. The pork trade was inactive. In prices, however, no change took place. a. d. s. d.

This was a suit instituted to test the validity of a will and codicil, executed by a lady named Newberry, which the plaintiff disputed on the ground that she was not of sound mind, and under undue influence when she signed the latter instrument. It appeared that the testatrix was the daughter of Mr. Leatham, who had been one of the partners of the firm of Messrs. Hughes and Co., the celebrated brewers, and left her a considerable property, with power of appointment. This gentleman died in 1846, and the testatrix married Mr. Newberry, her coisin. Some years before her decease she made her will bequeathing the whole of her property to her husband. The defendants, who propounded the will and codicil, were tho nieces of her husband and relatives cf her own, and having no children she frequently expressed her intention to pro vide for them. Mr. Newberry's health became very much impaired, and he died on Dec. 26, 1859. A short time prior to his decease the testatrix made the codicil in question, by which she left the reversion of her property to the defendants in the event of her husband's death. She died In May. last. These facts were fully proved, and the opposition to the will and codicil being withdrawn, the Court decreed pro bate. SMITH V. SMITH. This was the petition of the wife praying for judicial separation on the ground of her husband's adultery. Cruelty was also alleged, but was not attempted to be proved. The parties, who are in a respectable rank of life, were married on the 16th October,,lB4l, and cohabited until last September. They resided at Wycombe, Gloucestershire, and had three children, two of whom are living. Ile ad mitted having committed adultery, and that he was the father of two children by a woman named Symmonds, but denied the *adultery at a particular date, as well as the cruelty pleaded. The case was fully established, and no defence was at tempted. The decree was reserved until the application for perma nent alimony is made to the Court. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE ASHBY. This bankrupt was described as of Carlisle-street, Soho square, builder; and this was a certificate meeting. Mr. Pennell, the official assignee, reported that the books had been well kept and vouched as standing at the above date, although it was afterwards found that the whole of the debts then supposed to be good had not been realised. A portion of the loss was on a breach of contract, and others ix consequence of the builders' strike. His Honour granted a certificate of the second class. CRIMINAL COURT-(TIIIS DAY.) OLD COURT. The July Sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Common Sergeant, Aldermen Rose, Carden, Hale, and Mechi. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said, in con sequence of the short time that had elapsed since they last met, the cases to be brought before them were not very numerous or important. There was a charge of man slaughter against a person named Buxton, in which it would be necessary they should look very carefully at the evi- dente that would be laid before them, in order to ascertain whether there was a prima facie case made out against the accused. It appeared that the deceased woman was in a state of intoxication, and was engaged throwing stones at some children, when the prisoner went up and asked her why she was throwing stones, and thereby endangering tb.a of gntnx, of +Le ohaaran. The .I.ooaocd woman struck the prisoner, and then he returned the blow, after which the woman retired a few steps, and then fell to the ground, and from the effects of that fall death ensued. The question they would have to settle was whether the fall was caused by the blow given by Buxton. The woman, it appeared, did not fall immediately the blow was given, but went back a short distance and then fell. If they should be of opinion that death was occasioned by the act of the prisoner, then they would be in a position to return a true bill against the prisoner. The other cases in the calender were quite of the ordinary character, and did not call for any special remark, but there was a case, or a class of cases, in which he advised them to look very closely into—namely, that of a person named Spencer, and the same remark would apply to the charge against Chambers. The charges were of a nature that he should not further allude to, but his motive for advising the exer cise of great caution, was to ascertain whether there was a primafacic case against each, because if there was not the possibility of a conviction, it would be better the pain of a public investigation should be dispensed with. The grand jury then retired to their room, and after a short time the trials were proceeded with. Robert George Dean, traveller, surrendered to an indict ment charging him with embezzling the several sums of £5, £3O, and £lO Os. 9d., the moneys of his masters, Messrs. Robertson. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Orridge appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. Mr. C. W. Robertson, of the firm of Robertson and Co., Falcon-wharf, Blackfriars, lead and glass merchants, said the defendant was, until lately, in their employ as traveller. He entered the service of the firm in 1842 at a salary of £2OO per annum, which had been increased gra dually up to the present time to £3OO. He had besides a guinea a day for travelling expenses, and at the end of each of his country journeys he charged various sums for in cidental expenses, which were always allowed. It was his duty to remit to the firm the various sums received from their customers in the country, after entering them in a cash-book, which he (witness) examined when the defend ant arrived in town. He had also to hand in a general cash statement, and the discretion of allowing certain par • ties a much larger discount than others. The sums sus pected of being embezzled were £3O from a customer named Taylor, residing at Oxford, on the 31st of Dec. ; £5 from another customer, named Avery, of Wolverton ; and £3O from Maytor, of Faversham, in Kent. The above sums had been paid him, together with other moneys, from the parties, but did not appear in the pri soner's cash-book. Since his apprehension a private cash book had been discovered, in which the original sums received from customers was correctly entered, but of the existence of that book he never knew before. It was dis covered after he was charged with embezzling the money. That private cash book contained a number of entries on household and other matters totally unconnected with the business of the firm. It had also a number of sums placed opposite initial letters, of which he (witness) knew nothing. The proper book, which was looked upon by the firm as the prisener's cash, did not contain the correct sums received. The witness was subjected to a very severe cross-exami nation by Mr. Metcalf, during which he stated there had been some mistakes made by his clerks in entering the pri soner's account on former occasions, but they were merely errors that were easily discovered. The sums transmitted by the prisoner yearly from the provinces amount to nearly £20,000 men, and when he was taken into custody £9O was due to him as salary. He had, however, never applied for part of salary and been refused it. It was quite within his discretion what discount he allowed a good customer. He had heard something about the prisoner entering business on his own account, but it was after he had been appre hended. At this point of the trial it was discovered that one of the jury had answered to a wrong name. He had to be re sworn and the whole of the evidence read over to him. (The trial was proceeding when we went to press.) THE TOWER.—Lord de Ros, the High Constable of the Tower of London, has been making great improve ments there by cultivating the ditch and other available spots. Colonel Palmer, of Nazing-park, has sent his lord ship a cutting from the vine planted by the Great Napoleon at St. Helena, shortly before his death, and brought to England soon after. The original vine Colonel Palmer a few months since gave to the governor of the Hotel Impe rial des Invalides, at Paris, having previously had some cut tings struck from it. A Vienna letter of the 2d says :—" Ministerial conferences are held at the Palace daily, at which the Emperor presides, and the Archdukes present in Vienna generally attend. No decisive resolutions however have yet been taken. All persons are con vinced that something must be done to satisfy the demands of the populations, for the most Conserva tive elements, as well as the Opposition, are agreed on one point, which is, that constitutional institu tions alone can restore confidence. But the Govern ment does not know what measures to adopt, and does not seem likely to escape from its present state of indecision." POLICE INT BLLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. RUFFIANLV ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.--Two rough looking fellows, nanit d Allen and Johnson, and a female named Wiz, were charged with assaulting police •constables l'eacock, Milne, and Stuart in a very ruffianly manner. Peacock said that about twelve on Saturday night he saw a mob of about 150 persons assembled in Green-street, Le cester-square, and on trying to remove Johnson he was knocked down and kicked several times on the forehead and in the mouth by Allen. The prisoners were violent. There was a large mob, many of whom knocked him and his brother constables who came to his assistance about, and they were surrounded by thieves who frequent the square. Wix said she was so drunk that she knew nothing about it. Confirmatory evidence being given by Milne, 96 C, and Stewart, 84 E, a young man named Dowsett, of 160, Sey mour-torrace, Euston-road, was also called and said the attack on the officers was a very savage one. Mr. Beadon said ho regretted exceedingly he could not give hard labour. He should commit them for a month each, and he wished he could treble it. They might con sider themselves very fortunate. THAMES. IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANTS. —About a fortnight since eight persons, who came to this country in the ship Strath allan, applied to Mr. Selfe for summonses against Captain William Williamson, the master of the ship, for not supply ing them with sufficient rations on a voyage from Sydney to London. The applicants had paid various sums for a passage from Sydney to London, but one who paid £3O and another £22 were provided with the same provisions as a passenger who paid £l4. The provisions were defective in quality as well as quantity when the ship left Sydney ; the passengers were subjected to very great privations on the voyage owing to the want of provisions. Supplies were ob taiued from three vessels spoken with on the voyage; in fact, one of the passengers declared " the ocean was scoured for food, and the voyage was a very uncomfortable one." They considered that great blame was attributable to the agents at Sydney for allowing the Strathallan to sail without an adequate supply of provisions for so long a voyage, and that, if food had not been obtained from other ships, the passengers would have been half starved. Mr. Selfe said, if the dietary scale agreed upon had not been complied with on the voyage, and if the passengers had not been adequately fed, they were entitled to compen sation. He granted summonses against Captain William. son on the complaints ofthe foll awing passengers :—Richard Bartley, John Melina, Peter Anderson, Win. Johnson, Mar garet Francis Strachan, Wm. Phillips, and Samuel Wilson. Each summons charged the defendant, Williamson, " that he being the master of a British passenger ship called the Strathallan, did unlawfully refuse and neglect to issue to the said passenger or any other person on his or her behalf, or for his use, sweet and wholesome provisions according to a dietary scale marked B as provided by the statute in that behalf during a period of 17 weeks from the 2d day of March to the 2901 day of June, 1860, upon a voyage from Sydney to London. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, was subsequently retained ' for the complainant, and Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, for the defendant, and au arrangement was made to pay each of the passengers £5 and the cost of the summonses. This day the arrangement was made known, and a pub lic exposure, as the parties connected with the ship be lieved, would be prevented. It was also stated that each of the crew had received £4 as a compensation for a reduced allowance of provisions. The summonses were, *if course, dismissed. A FABLE FOR SMA LL GERMANS. (From Punch.) My lit-tle dears, there was once a French Wolf —very gray, and gree-dy, and lean, and sly. Near the wood in which he lived grazed a large flock of sheep, in the charge of a great many small dogs, who were al-ways snarl-ing, and bit-ing. and quar rel-ling a-mong them-selves. The old Wolf knew that he was more than a match for any of the dogs sin gly, but he was a-fraid if he ven-tur-ed to at-tack one of them the o-thers might for-get their 'narling to join in a league of de-fence a-gainst him. There was one large dog in par-ti-cu-lar cal-led " Prince," who had long war-ned the rest of the pack of the corn-mon dan-ger to all from the old Wolf, and had done his best to make them a-gree bet-ter ; " for so sure," said he, "as the Wolf suc ceeds in keep-ing us at log-ger-heads, he will take us, one by one, with-out dif-fi-cul-ty, and when he has eat-en us up he will have his own way with the sheep." But they would not mind bis words, and some of them growl-ed at him, and said he was a trai-tor, and on-ly wan-ted to get the sheep to him self, and that the Wolf was an hon-est beast, and loved the small dogs, and would do the sheep no harm. The Wolf, knowing that if he could on-ly succeed in gain-ing over the big dog Prince he might eas-i-ly mas-ter the small curs one by one, was always very po-lite to Prince, and used to send. him civil mess-ages, in-vit-ing him to take coun-cil with him, for the ben-e-fit of the o-ther dogs, and the sheep. For a long time the big dog on-ly growl ed and trot-ted the o-ther way when-e-ver he saw the Wolf ma-king to-wards him. Bye at last, find ing the Wolf would take no de-nial of his in-vi-ta tions, he sent Mm a let-ter, pro mi-sing to meet him. The Wolf was de-light-ed, and said to his cubs, " Now I have the big dog at last." And off he trot ted to the place of meeting. It was in a thick wood on a hill, with an old cas-tle built at the top. The big dog was at the gate of the cas-tle, and when the Wolf, came up, with a grin that showed his long, sharp teeth, he said, "Walk in, my dear Wolf, lam so glad to see you." Then the Wolf put his paw on his heart and said, " Dear Prince, I have been wait-ing so long for this hap-py meet-ing. I do feel so fond of all you dogs, and of those dear sheep you watch so well, you can't think, I have a plan, by which the small dogs will be a-ble to do their work so plea-sant-ly and so ea-si-ly. What a shame it is that the poor lit-tle beasts should be so hard work-ed, and kept out in all wea thers, guard-ing their sheep from the wick-ed wolves that sur-round them. Now you are a great dog, and ve-ry strong. Sup-pose you took the work of the small dogs off their hands, and kept all the sheep yourself. They might sleep in the sun, and you and I would take care they had plenty of nice bones and paunches ; and mean-while we would guard the sheep to-ge-ther." Then the big dog laugh-ed and said, " A nice plan, in-deed! How ve-ry kind you are ! Here are ail the small dogs just in-side the gate. Per-haps you will be kind e-nough to tell them the nice lit-tle plan you have just told me, and see how they will like it." Then the Wolf be-gan to feel very awic-ward and un-com fort-a-ble, and felt that the big deg had led him in to a trap ; and he curl-ed up his mouth in-to what he meant for a ve-ry sweet smile, and said, " No thank you, dear Prince. I think I will not say any-thing to them to-day. I have not got my speech quite rea-dy." Then all the small dogs, who had heard all from in -side the old cas-tle, be-gan to yelp and to laugh, and to wag their tails, and to set up a cry of " How ve-ry kind you are, dear Wolf, to think of to-king the charge of our sheep off our hands !" So the Wolf, see-ing his plot was de tected, sneak-ed off with his tail between his legs, and from that time the small dogs knew that Prince was their true friend, and were jea-lous of him no long-er, and made up their own quarrels, and the Wolf was fain to keep his de-signs a-gainst the sheep in the dark, till he could find a bet-ter time for put-ting them in ex-e-cu •tion.

'T.ROPOLITAN MEAT 211.1RKET AT SMITHFIELD. Since the bill now before Parliament, empower ing the corporation, by whom it is promoted, to establish in Smithfield a metropolitan market, on an extensive scale, for meat, poultry, and other provisions, left the hands of the select eommittr a deputation from the corporation has had an in terview with Sir George Lewis, the Home Secre tary, with the view to learn whether he wcuhl make an effort in the House to restore the measure to its original state as regards toll and rent. The select committee to whom it was referred have been several days in a searching examination of witnesses, with the assistance of seven counsel retained on one side or the other. When the bill was submitted to the committee it was understood in the House that, being of a hybrid character, partly public and partly private, the ordinary rules by which the locus standi of opponents before committees on private bills was determined should not be applied to this inquiry. Acting upon the spirit of this understanding, the committee reason ably enough allowed council to be heard on behalf of the owners of salesmen's shops and slaughter houses in the neighbourhood of Newgate-street. now used for market purposes, although strictly speaking, the bill does not take compulsory powers to shut up the old market, and the right of those parties to be heard in opposition to the establish ment of a competing market might, therefore, have been questioned. The bill was strongly resisted by the salesmen and butchers on the questions of the toll and rent which it proposes to legalise, and their counsel were heard at great length on those points. The promoters of the bill had estimated the minimum supply of meat in the proposed market at 60,000 tons annually, which at 3s. 4d. a ton for toll would have been just sufficient to pay the interest on the cost of land, if borrowed at 4 per cent. It was also calculated by them thatthe quantity might increase to 80,000 or 90,000 tons, in which case a provision would be made for a sinking fund to pay off the principal in 25 years, when the toll was to cease. The evidence, however, given by the salesmen was I to the effect that the present supply exceeded 90,000 tons, and that it would probably increase to 160,000 tons. The committee acting, it is supposed, . on the estimates of the salesmen, reduced the sche dule of tolls one-third below the amount specified in the bill as laid before the committee. That amount was id. a stone of 141 b. ; it now stands in the bill at id. for 211 b. The committee likewise reduced the rate of rent for shops, stalls, and standings in the market, from a maximum of 10. per square foot per week told. per square foot. The promoters of the bill calculated that the market buildings would cost from £185,000 to .£200,000, and that, there would be a demand for about 75,000 square feet for salesmen's shops. But the witnesses for the salesmen adduced evidence to show that the market might be constructed for £150,000, and that tenants would readily be found for the whole available space of 100,000 feet for shops and standings. Sir George Lewis was anderstood to have declined to propose any alteration in the bill at the present time, but he intimated that, if it should be found, as the result of experience, that the salesmen had mis taken the amount of business likely to be done in the market, the corporation might apply to have the mistake rectified in a future session. It is understood that this bill—which stands for committee in the Commons to-morrow—and other measures now before Parliament in connexion with it, will cause about 20 slaughter-houses to be re moved, and more than 500 tenements to be pulled down. The City Commissioners of Sewers, by a re cent regulation, will refuse to grant any more licences for slaughterhouses in the City, and the existing ones, when removed, will not be replaced. A great boon in a sanitary point of view will thus be conferred upon the public. Arrangements have also been made with the railway con.paeies by which Mr. Pearson's long-projeeted scheme for locating the families of workmen in villages along the railway lines, at a moderate distance from the metropolis, will now be carried into effect. By the time the Metropolitan Railway communicating with the meat market shall be completed, and the Chat ham and Dover line extended to Farringdon-street, it is expected that arrangements will be made with some of the existing associations in the metropolis for improving the dwellings of the poor for the practical realisation of this project to a very con siderable extent. It is computed that cottages built upon cheap land, eight or ten miles from Lon don, may be let, with 400 yards of garden ground attached to each, at a less rent, including railway fare throughout the year, than artisans now pay for the same number of rooms in the crowded and unhealthy courts and alleys of the city. It should be explained that in the establishment of the proposed market the whole of the ancient site of Smithfield, except about 1-20th part, or les:;, will be preserved as an open space, and that a por tion, circular in shape, and with a fountain in the centre, will be planted ornamentally with trees and shrubs and devoted to purposes of public recreation. It now rests with the Common Council to say whether they will proceed with the bill in its al tered shape, but it is not doubted that they will hesitate for a moment to do so, seeing that the changes in the measure only rest on calculations more sanguine than their own, and which, if erro neous, can be remedied by subsequent legislation, and that considerations of public convenience and utility ought to override differences of opinion founded on mere points of detail.
