The Proprietors beg most respectfully to call the attention of the trade, noblemen, clergy, and the public in general, to their extensive stock of Choice Wines, of rare vintages. BURROWS and Co. are not disposed to comment upon the purity of their wines, which is daily most laudably acknow ledged by the public and eminent medical men of all coun tries, as the increasing ratronage of the highest families in the Lind is a sufficient guarantee. They beg to call particular attention to their pure Tonic Wines, as being so valuable to Invalids and persons of weak stomachs. A sample case, containing three full-sized wine bottles, will be forwarded to any address on receipt of P. 0.0. for 6s. 6d, or a dozen for 245. It is a well-known fact that impure and adulterated wines are the greatest foes to health, producing acidity in the stomach, and debilitating the digestive organs, while pure wines will accelerate the digestive powers, invigorating, strengthening, and bracing the nervous system. Their Tonic Wine is admitted to be most essential to in valids, both old and young, and should never be absent from the homes of the weak and sickly. Its properties are duly acknowledged and appreciated by the leading men of the faculty, both at home and abroad. To prevent Imposition each bottle is sealed with the name of the firm.

STAMPED, 5D COUN2 CAVOUR'S CIRCULAR. The Persereranza of Milan publishes the text of Count Cavour's circular addressed to the Sardinian diplomatic agents at Foreign Courts. It bears the date of 27th Jan., and is as follows : " Sir,—l consider it expedient briefly to explain to you the new condition in which Italy finds itself placed at the present moment, when the confidence of the King has called me to the direction of foreign affairs. " The great Powers of Europe, acknowledging the necessity of putting an end to ie uncertain and provisional state of Central Italy, had consented, two months ago, to the meeting of a Congress for the purpose of deliberating on the best means of founding the pacification and prosperity of Italy on solid and durable bases. " The Congress, which the King's Government had not ceased to invoke as the only means calcu lated to arrest the dangers of the moment, had been accepted with confidence by the populations of Cen tral Italy. They hoped that the wish they had ma nifested in so formal a manner of being annexed to the States of the King world be taken into serious consideration and approved of by the plenipotenti aries of the principal States of Europe. In this con• viction the people of Central Italy and their Go vernments awaited, in calmness and order, the judgment of the Congress, merely limiting them selves to increasing and disciplining their forces in order to be ready to meet events. " At present, in consequence of difficulties which I have not to examine here, the Congress has been adjourned to an indefinite period, and there is daily more reason to believe that it will never meet. " The Congress failing, all the difficulties which were to be solved by that means reappear with a degree of weight -and urgency much greater than before. An Went but legitimate impatience, an irrevocable determination to continue in the chosen path, have, in Central Italy, succeeded to the calm ness and hope of expectation. Such sentiments, al ready su ffi ciently ‘ justified by the singular position in which Central Italy has so long stood, have be come still more deep and general in consequence of the events which have latterly occurred. " In fact, the prorogation of the Congress was preceded by the publication of the pamphlet entitled Le Pape et le Congres.' I will not stop to exa mine the origin and bearing of that publication. I confine myself to stating that public opinion in Europe regards it as having the character and im portance of a great event. The publication of this letter was soon followed by a letter from the Empe• ror of the French to the Pope. At the same time Europe learned that the Anglo-French alliance, which was shaken after the peace of Villafranca, had beconie more solid and intimate ; and this fact, proved by the happy issue 44 important commercial negotiations, is still further established in a more solemn manner by the Speech from the Throne on the opening of Parliament, and by Lord Palmer ston having in reply to Mr. Disraeli declared that the most perfect understanding prevails between England and France with regard to the Italian question. " The postponement of the Congress, the publi cation of the pamphlet, the letter to the Pope, and the reconciliation between France and England are four incidents (the least of which would have been sufficient to precipitate a solution) which have rendered longer delay impossible in the settlement of pending questions. Amply commented on by the press of Europe, they have succeeded in con vincing every serious mind :-1. That the idea of a restoration must be renounced, as the realisation of it is no more possible at Bologna and Parma than at Florence and Modena. 2. That the sole solution possibly consists in the legal admission of the an nexation already established in fact in /Emilia as well as in Tuscany; and 3. That the Italian popu lations, after having long waited in vain for Europe to put their affairs in order on the basis of the principles of non-intervention and of respect for the popular wishes, have the duty of proceeding to establish their Governments themselves. " Such is the signification given in Italy to the facts I have just stated—and such is also, which constitutes another circumstance of equal gravity— the interpretation given to them by the most im• portant organs of the French press. The most in. fluential journals of France, England, and Germany give expression to the same ideas, advise the same measures, and express the same convictions. In such a state of things the populations of Central Italy have determined to arrive at a solution, and to seize on the favourable moment for carrying the annexation into complete and definite execution. It is with this view that the Governments of the said provinces have adopted the electoral law of Sardinia, and are preparing to proceed to the exec• tion of deputies. — " The King's Government has hitherto employed all its moral influences to induce the Governments and populations of Central Italy to wait for the judgment of Europe. At present, owing to ttie un certainty attending the meeting of the Congress, and in consequence of the facts above-mentioned, his Majesty's Government has no longer the power of arresting the natural and inevitable course of events. " This despatch has no other object than to show the actual state of things in Italy. I will duly in • form you of the resolutions which may be taken in consequence. Let it suffice for the present to inform you that the Government of the King feels all the responsibility imposed on it in these critical mo ments, and that its decisions will be inspired solely by a sense of duty, the interests of Italy, and a sincere desire to secure the peace of Europe. — Accept, kc. " CAVOUR." -/ 7- ,--7---,--------1- , - -- s v INDIAN FINANCE. The circumstances of the financial operation very indistinctly described by Sir Charles Wood in the House of Commons on Friday appear to be as fol lows :—The Council of India, as is well known, have held in reserve a sum of £2,000,000 of Indian Four per Cent. Debentures, dated 1859, which were not placed upon the occasion of the last negotiation of those securities. The act which authorised the Indian Five per Cent. Stock, of 1859 gave the In dian Secretary power to issue more stock against any debentures which may fall due. By issuing for a brief period the Reserved amount of Four per Cent. Debentures above specified to the Bank of England (perhaps in lieu of Indian Bonds held by that establishment as security for former ad vances made to the Council of India) the deben tures are made due, and are then converted into the Indian Five per Cent. ktock of 1859. At that very time the Canadian Government, which has just raised a loan of £2,800,000, is in want of a Government security wherein to invest, for the satisfaction of the Imperial Go vernment, the sum required for the sinking fund on the Old Canada Loan guaranteed by the Imperial Government. The Canadian Govern ment accordingly takes £1,300,000 of the Indian Five per Cent. Stock of 1859 created by these means, and Sir Charles Wood descants upon the advantageous character of the whole operation. Very possibly he is right in doing so, but the public would like to know the terms upon which these somewhat peculiar transactions have been arranged. The Council of India do not appear to have been in any immediate want of money, and this circumstance renders it less easy to understand the selection of the present juncture for issuing the Four per Cent. Debentures. On the other hand, it is satisfactory to know that the reserved balance of the debentures is placed. There is another point of iaterest to the holders of the Indian Five per Cent. Stock of 1839: the act of Parliament authorising the Canadian Loan with the Imperial guarantee stipulated that the sinking fund should be invested in Government securities, and with the special consent of the Imperial Government. Does the British Government, therefore, recognise the Indian Five per Cent. Stock of 1859 as a Govern ment security ?—Daily News. We announced a week or two since that the in tention of Government was to add about 22,000 men to the regular army, disbanding the militia at the same time, and bringing home several regiments from India.

THE BUDGET. —In consequence of prevalent among the spirit merchants of Glasgow that Mr. Gladstone intends in his Budget to propose an increase in the duties on spirits, the excise duties paid in that city dur ing last weak have largely increased. Up to Friday after noon the extra duties paid amounted to upwards of 00,000. The greatest excitement was experienced on Friday, when between £20,000 and £30,000 above the average amount of duties was paid. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 6, 1860.

The subjoined circular memorandum, addressed to officers commanding Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, regiments, and depots of cavalry and infantry serving at home, has been issued : " Horse Guards, S.W., Jan. 24. " The appointment of an Instructor in Military History at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, having been authorised by the Secretary of State for War, his Royal Highness the General Com manding-in-Chief desires that commanding officers will send to this department, not later than the 10th proximo, the application of such officers as feel themselves qualified for the situati m. Each application should be accompanied by a statement of the course of the candidate's reading in military history, and a detailed description of any one im portant campaign, with a full explanation of the military topography of the country and its bearing on the operations. " In forwarding an application, the commanding officer should state his opinion of the character of the candidate, both personally and as an officer. " The salary attached to this Instructorship is £35 per annum (inclusive of military pay), with quarters ; or, in case quarters should not be pro vided, an allowance in lieu thereof such as is ac corded to a field officer. " Ti.e appointment will be probationary for the first year. " The successful candidate will be expected to join the college without delay, and to express his intention of continuing to fulfil the , duties of his appointment for a period of at last three years.— By command, “ G. A. WETHERALL, Adjutant-Gewiral.” Nearly 500 recruits have arrived during the last few weeks at the Indian depots stationed in the camp at Colchester. Ihe paddle steamer Preussischer Adler and the screw steamer Dodo have been taken up to convey the Royal Limerick County Militia from Ports mouth to Queenstown prior to their disembodiment. The Preussischer Adler is reported to be ready to embark the first portion of the regiment, consist ing 20 officers and 550 men, with their proportion of women and children, on the 10th inst.; the Dodo to embark the remainder of the regiment on the 17th inst. The present rifle-range in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, for the practice of the troops ia that garrison, having only a range of 900 yards, it has been deemed advisable to extend the length of range to about 1,250 yards, and for this pur pose negotiations have for some time been carried on between the military authorities and the proprietor for the purchase of a piece of waste ground at the western extremity of, and adjoining, the present range. This has at length been brought to a close by the authorities refusing to purchase on the terms offered. On account of the vast number of recruits who have been accepted in the Regiment of Royal Ar tillery, the strength of the depot at Woolwteh has far outgrown the present barrack accommodation. It has been found necessary, in consequence, to make a division of the brigade, to be stationed in separate quarters. Major Bolton's and Major Lukin's Nos. 1 and 2 batteries, amounting to be tween 500 and 300 men each, aro expected to leave head quarters, Woolwich, during the week, for the encampment at Shorncliffe. About 125 of the soldiers discharged from the East India Company's service who arrived at Ply mouth in the Maha Ranee from Calcutta have been disembarked:iti .the Sound. Thirty were trans ferred on Saturday afternoon to a passenger steamer bound for Cork, and the remainder were landed at the Barbican for the purpose of proceeding to-day (Monday) in an o th e r passen ger s t eamer to Dublin. Those men entitled to prize-money will not be paid until they arrive at their homes. Those soldiers on board the Maha Ranee will probably proceed in her up Channel. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY OF A DL'AID BODY. CARLISLE, Saturday Evening.—An inquest was opened to-day by Mr. Carrick, at the police-office here, upon the body of a person unknown, which was discovered on Thursday, at the Bush hotel, under the following mysterious circumstances : About 12 months since a long deal box was left at the Bush Hotel, in this city, by one of the por ters of the Caledonian Railway Company. On the top or lid of the box was the following address, written in an illiterate hand—" This side up. Mrs. London, Bush hottel, Carlisle." The box remained in the hotel for some time, butno one came to claim it, and it was at length removed to the " market room" of the house to be out of the way, and up to last Thursday had stood in that room unasked for and untouched. A few days since Mr. Cowx, the father of the landlord of the hotel, happened to be at a sale in the neighbourhood of Carlisle, and the locality reminding him that an old lady bearing the name of the address on the box resided a short way off, he sent a lad to inform her that there was a box with her name on it, which had been at the Bush for many months without having been claimed and suggesting that it might possibly be intended for her. Upon hearing this, Mrs. London sent her niece, Mrs. Margaret Dixon, to the hotel, who, on being shown and examining the address on the box, came to the conclusion that it was not for her aunt; but at the same time suggested that it might be opened to see if the contents could give any clue to the owner. Mr. Cowx assented to this, and the box was opened, What was the astonishment of those who looked into it to find a coffin containing the body of a child ! Mr. Bent, the superintendent of the city police, was immediately sent for. He came, and on inquiry ascertained from Mary Bishop, waiting-maid at the hotel, that the box had been delivered at the hotel on t h e 21 st o f M arc h, l as t year, by a railway porter, for the carriage of which she paid 25., and signed the b oo k p r od uc ed by the porter to certify its safe delivery. It was kept at hand in the expectation of the owner calling for it, but, as has already b een stated, no cla i mant appear ing,it was subsequently removed to the market room. On inquiry at the booking-office of the gods department at the Citadel Station, Mr. Bent ascertained that the box bad been booked at Paisley for Carlisle on the 18th of March, three daysbefore its delivery. This was all that; could be learnt at the moment. Mr. Bent, however, caused the box to be removed to the police office, where a closer examination was made of the contents, in the hope of finding some clue to the sender. The search was made in the presence of Dr. Elliot, Mr. Temperley, Mr. Bowman, and Mr. T. N anson (b oroug h magis trate). Within the deal box, which was about 4f!. in length, a coffin was packed in wood shavings ; it was painted black, rather handsomely embellished with white metal furnishings, and had white cotton cord tassels attached to the handles (six in all) at the sides and ends. There was a metal shield upon the lid, but without an inscription ; below the shield was a vase of flowers ; above it the figure of an angel—all in white metal. The coffin measured 43in. in length, 131 in. in breadth, and 10in. deep. Within was found the corpse of a child, shrouded in white calico—at least it had once been white, but was now much discoloured by the decomposition of the body, which was very far advanced. The limbs and body were partially clothed in a pair of white stockings, a shirt, and night-cap. The body had been packed in sawdust, and measured on removal from the coffin 35in. in length; the legs, however, were rather drawn up, and the head turned to one side, for which probably tin. more might be allowed. Whether originally laid in the coffin in that posi tion of course it would be impossiole to say. The trunk measured 16in. in length. The face was so much disfigured (whether by violence or deoayit could not be a scer t a i ne d), that it was no t recognis able. The hair was light or flaxen, quite abundant, and about three inches in length. The medical :gentlemen called in made a pest mortem examination. On close inspection, the remains of both a night-gown and a shift were found adhering to the body, which had the ap pearance of a mummy, and was so decayed that the medical men could come to no conclusion us to the sex of the child. The presumption, how ever, was that it is the body of a female, four or five years of age. Ten teeth were observed in the upper jaw, six in the lower, the three front teeth being gone ; the back teeth had begun to appear. The general appearance led to the conclusion that the remains were those of a well-formed and once stout active child. It has been hinted, from the position of the body, that it may have been put into the box whilst still alive; but this is mere surmise. The above facts having been deposed to, the in quiry —which has caused the deepest sensation here —was adjourned. The articles contributed by Lord Macaulay to the "Encyclopedia Britannica" are to be republished in a separate form with, it is said, a preface by Mr. Adam Black, explaining the circumstances under which they were con tributed—circumstances honourable alike to the publisher and the author, but of which a ♦ersion not altogether cor rect has been circulated. FRANCE 'IAD N.IVOY. Never in the whole course of ancient and modern history has a spectacle more extraordinary pre sented itself than that which is now offered by the I province of Savoy. Since the period of our Norman Conquest the mountaineers of this Alpine region have been under the rule of the Royal House which is now represented by King Victor Emmanuel. To those monarchs the Savoyards have always clung with a desperate fidelity, which neither persecution, tyranny, nor adversity has been able to shake. The connexion of the House or Hapsburg with it here ditary dominions in Austria Proper is modern com p ired with the relations which bind Savoy with its Ducal House, and England alone, among the coun tries of Europe, can show a Royal line equally ancient and equally illustrious. The Government of Savoy and Piedmont is at profound peace with the Government of France, the families are linked together by matrimonial alliance, and their armies have fought side by side in the most glorious fields of modern military history. The Savoyards have little to complain of; they have given a Royal House to Piedmont ; they possess a gallant and patriotic nobility, and a constitution which gives to every msn freedom of speech, of writing and of ac tion. Suddenly there arises in the midst of this apparently contented and happy country a move ment for annexation to France ; meetings are held, demonstrations are male, articles are written, the whole machinery of popular agitation is set to work, not by the Government, for that appears to disapprove the agitation, but either by some caprice of the popular mind or by some influence from without. Dark rumours are afloat of treaties by which this first inheritance of the House of Savoy is to be handed over to France in consi deration for Lombardy and Venetia, and insinua tions on the one part that Piedmont is wanting in good faith in not surrendering the equivalent for what she received, and en the other that France has not fully performed the condition which required Venetia as well as Lombardy in exchange for Savoy and Nice. These rumours are on both sides offi cially contradicted, and, of course, so much the more pertinaciously believed. Meanwhile a circumstance that any one might have reasonably expected occurs. The town of Chambery gets up a very influential demonstration, but, strange to say, the object of this demonstration was not to advocate union with Imperial France, but adherence to that noble House with whose for tunes the destiny of Savoy has been connected for the last eight hundred years. Nothing can exceed the virtuous indignation of the French press at this occurrence. One would suppose that the good people of Chambery had:been dealing with the affairs of others, instead of with a matter which one would be apt to think was most peculiarly their own. The Patrie stigm atises this meeting in terms which a Protest ant might have em ployed who had discovered, a week before its perpetration, the plans for the Massacre of St. Bartholomew. " The demonstration was no iso lated event, but the result of a deliberate plan to impose on the public as to the sentiments of Savoy and Nice." " Emissaries are scattered over the whole country to organise similar scenes in every part of it." The accounts furnished to the Patric are so accurate and so precise that they leave no doubt on the subject. Nay, the authori ties appear to sanction the movement, and, in fact, there are actually people in Savoy and Nice who prefer to be the free citizens of a small, rather than the over-governed subjects of a large State. " I; is time that the authorities of Turin .-,hould learn that they cannot have two weights and two balances, that the people of Savoy and Nice have the same right to dispose of themselves as the people of the Duchies. The sympathies of Savoy for - France are a centffry old, and the Government which seeks to repress them ought to desist from any such effort, and to leave them t• dispose of themselves." lire have quoted this article which will be found at length elsewhere, because we have read nothing like it since the time when the first Napoleon denounced the Spaniards as brigands for attempting to resist an invasion which he had not troubled himself to clothe with the faintest semblance of legality. We maintain, in opposition to the Patric, that the people of Chain. bery, of Annecy, of Oneglia, and St. Remo have just as good a right to meet and declare their wish to remain united to Piedmont as to be allotted to France. When the union has taken place we grant they will have forfeited the right of meeting and speaking freely, but till that event they ought not to be put down, even though they say and do things not strictly in accordance with modern French policy. England must naturally disapprove the annexa tion of Savoy to France, whether it is believed that France contracted with Piedmont to despoil Austria in order to provide her with an equivalent to Savoy, or whether we think that the movement is a span- taneous effort of the people. But, though she - may disapprove, England has no interest sufficiently strong to justify her in doing more than express her disapprobation. She can afford to look on ; but we doubt if the Emperor of the French can so well afford to see it done. Tie has a vast deal at stake. He has men and money, ships and artillery, all that makes a formidable power by land and sea, but he has not attained, and at this rate never will attain, the sincere and heartfelt confidence of Europe. lie had told us that the empire was peace, but he inter rupted that peace by a sanguinary war. The con fidence of his subjects was shaken, and he seeks to restore it by the adoption of the most enlightened principles of commerce. But, in the midst of these peaceful discussions, we are startled by the harsh tone of menace and rebuke adopted towards the people and Government of a neighbouring State, be cause they show some unwillingness to sever their an cient allegiance in order to bestow on him two new provinces. We were told that the Emperor " makes war for an idea," but we are now suddenly informed that France gives nothing for nothing, and that in exchange for the spoils of Austria she has stipulated for the hereditary dominions of the House of Savoy. She may take them, for there is no Continental Power at this moment able to op pose her, and England is too remotely interested to do more than express regret. But history has taught in vain if 41ear-bougkt experience has not impressed on France the wisdom of remaining con tent within her present ample boundaries. In these days of credit she cannot hope to play both parts, —that of an ambitious conqueror and of a success ful trader. Commercial prosperity is a jealous deity, and allows no divided worship. The Empe ror may, if he will, abandon with the same facility with which he has obtained it the reputation for noble motives and disinterested heroism, but he I must still wish to retain confidence sufficient for his commercial adventure, and a first element of that confidence is the convietion that his desire is rather to improve than to extend his present magnificent empire.—Times. ,4 THELLUSON WILL BEFORE THEL- LUSON. The Dutch ;rapers are discussing an extra ordinary will, made at Amsterdam 150 years ago by an exceedingly wealthy Mynheer, an Israelite, named Jacob Pereya. Out of theim mense wealth left by him he only allowed 20,000 guilders annually to his widow and children. The remainder, consisting of Dutch East India Bonds and other securities, then considered as safe as valuable, he left in trust to the wardens of his synagogue, who, after 150 years, were to convene, by advertisements in the papers, all his descendants; and after rendering them an account of their steward ship before the judges, were to devote 100,000 guil ders to the endowment of a certain charity, and then to divide the remainder in equal proportions between the heirs. The 150 years will expire in February, 1861. Meanwhile, the descendants of Pereyra are summoned to appear before the Lords Judges in the chamber of justice at Amsterdam, on the 7th of June next, at 11 o'clock in the morning precisely, there to receive a full and faithful render ing of the trust. The formalities of the law are of course complied with ; but it is well known, as in the Thelluson case, a sad disappointment awaits the sanguine heirs. The accumulation of the immense wealth of Pereyra will hardly be sufficient to meet the first charge of the endowment. The greater portion of the securities, which for more than fifty years after his death paid 40 per cent., have d windled down into almost worthless paper. The bankruptcy of the East India Company in 1775, the revolution and French invasion in 1795, the loss of colonies and trade, the war taxes, and the disastrous annexa tions to France, have done their work. The satle ment of the national debt at the Restoration in 1813 completed the ruin wrought by , the previous calamities. The wealth of Pereyra, instead of at taining in 150 years the colossal dimensions ex pected by the testator, have shrunk into a mere nothing ; thus pointing once more the moral so im pressively taught by the Thelluson will. — Jewish Chronicle.

[lnvEnTisnmErcri—Holloway's Pills and Ointment. — The human body is made up of nerves, vessels, muscles, and bone, all of which are formed from the blood, aided by the glands. These Addison compares to a bundle of pipes and strainers ; to cleanse and clear these of all obstructions and all impurities is the art of medicine. Holloway's medica ments happily effect this object; not one of the infinitude if pipes and strainers escape their purifying power. They thoroughly remove all noxious matters, and expel all causes of disease. They act most beneficially on every organ. The Pills internally, and the Ointment rubbed over the glands re store vigour to the body, and cheerfulness to the mind. Hol loway's remedies arc specifics for indigestion, nervousness, and daproasion. - 71118 : ,; ) DAY'S Mdi Alritri4- --- \l 7 : ....p..-F, 4 ~ '' -.44.,-;# CORN ExaHANY3 r 443. if SCI The leading country markets held ofi.eaft ffi lat*etisiti moderately supplied with wheatiu eomewlialtqsprefil couS dition. On the whole, demand ruled steady at full prices. The barley trade was rather active at extreme rates.: Ia the value of other produce no change took place. Throughout the Continent wheat ha's continued to move off slowly. Spring corn, however, has commanded very fun prices. The transactions in wheat for export purposes in the United States have not increased. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad the imports were 680 quarters of wheat, 15,326 barley, 11,455 oats, 628 beans, 26 peas, 760 tares, 4,910 linseed, 2,352 rapeseed, 421 sun. dry seeds, and 672 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat were only moderate, but we observed an improvement in the general condition of both red and white qualities. Notwithstand ing, that the show of samples was rather limited, millers generally showed no disposition to purchase beyond imme diate wants. The trade, therefore, was somewhat inactive, nevertheless, compared with Monday last, no quotable change took place in prices. We were again well supplied with foreign wheat. The transactions in most kinds were comparatively small. In prices, however, no change took place. The inquiry for floaticg cargoes, off Falmouth, was some what- restricted at late rat , w. There was a good deniai;ri for most kinds of barley, and, owing to the want of fine samples, secondary descriptions were rather dearer than on Monday last. We have to report a dull sale for most kinds of malt, and inferior parcels were the turn cheaper. Oats, the supply of which was moderate, moved off steadily, at full prices. Both beans and peas were in short supply and steady request, at extreme rates. Flour sold at late currencies, but the demand for it Wile by no means active. CURRENCY PER IMPRETAL MEASURE.

Sales progressed slowly, on former terms. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up were by no means extensive ; but their general quality was tolerably prime. For all breeds there was a fair, but by no means Active, inquiry, at last week's cur rency. The primest Scots and crosses sold at 4s. led. per Blbs. The trade closed flatly. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeqhire amounted to about 1,300 Scots, crosses, Ace.; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 450 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 12 heifers. With most breeds of sheep we were rather scantily sup plied, even though the number was slightly on the increase. Compared with this day se'nnight no change took place in the quotations. The mutton trade, though healthy, was far from active. The best old Downs sold at ss. M. per Blbs. There were about 200 clipped sheep on offer. Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the veal trade ruled somewhat heavy, and late rates were barely support ed. On the whole, the pork trade was steady, at last week's quotations.
