', 'n SECOND EDITION. cdn LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 1846. The Select Committee appointed, on the motion of Mr. MORRISON, to inquire whether, without dis couraging legitimate enterprise, conditions may not be embodied in Railway Acts better fitted than those hitherto inserted in them, to promote and se cure the interests of the public, have just published their second report. It is to be regretted, that the difficulties interposed in the way of procuring data, on which to found their conclusions, the delays expe rienced in obtaining returns on subjects connected with the inquiry, have prevented the Committee from presenting their report at an earlier period. Much, however, that is valuable can even yet be obtained from the document. One of the principal recommendations there put for aryl has been already partially acted on, by the appoint ment of the new Railway Board, the Bill constituting which receivel the royal assent on Friday, just before the prorogation of Parliament, and although the powers thereby conferred are not, as we conceive, sufficient for the attainment of the objects contem plated, we are assured on the highest authority that the Bill was only the framework of future legislation with respect to railways. We may, therefore, confi dently anticipate that the leisure afforded by the recess will be turned to good account, and that the persons selected for tkose important duties may, on the next meeting of Parliament, be fully-prepared with mea sures to secure the i _ ,:deratum—an efficient system or iCiriff -ritlion applicable to all railways at present existing or to be constituted hereafter. The report points out one of the chief defects in the existing mode of procedure before; the Legis lature, in adjudicating on important public in terests, although coming before it in the shape of private Bills, viz., that it supplies no adequate means for obtaining a knowledge of the real merits of measures to other parties than those who support or oppose them. Too often the opposition is bought off, and a measure is passed sub silentio, although it may be very injurious to the public generally, or certainly not be the line best calculated to afford the requisite accommodation to the nation. Many may see the mischief likely to take place, but they will not willingly incur the heavy expense and annoyance to which they would be subjected, if they entered opposition against such a Bill. Committees hitherto have rather selected the best of the projects brought before them, than in quired whether there might not be some other plan far better than any of those submitted to their investi gation. This error will be remedied for the future by the strict examination to which every new project will be exposed by the new Commissioners before it brought before Parliament. It will be a part of the duty of the board to exercise the functions of an avocat d,c diable, and to seize on and expose any blot or imperfection that may exist in the scheme. As to the lines that have already been constructed, or those which have received the sanction of the Legislature, the mischief is irremediable, and we can only look forward to the adoption of such means as will make the management so efficient, the working of the rail ways in every respect, both as regards the fares to be demanded, and the accommodation to be afforded to the public, so beneficial, that the inconveniences will be reduced to the lowest possible amount. It may be said that this may be productive of an undue interference with private property, and that it would be inequitable and unjust now to impose re strictions which were not thought of when the under takings were originally proposed, or when they re ceived the sanction of Parliament. This argument, however, cannot prevail, as the right of the State to deal with the property of its subjects for the public benefit has ever been fully recognised and acted upon, giving the parties fair compensation ; and it would be peculiarly inapplicable in the case of railway com panies, every one of which have _taken by compulsion the property of individuals on the plea of the public interest ; besides, powers have been reserved in all Bills, whether for the construction of new lines or the extension of old, which have been passed within the last two sessions, for the revision and regulation of the scales and charges whenever it it should be deemed necessary, and there are few in deed of the railways throughout the country which have not voluntarily submitted themselves to that control and superintendence. The report urges in the strongest manner the right to subject the railways to this control, and its urgent necessity ; it points out that the roads of a country, from the very nature of things, are public concerns, and that they must be kept free from obstructions ; that in this country, from the remotest periods, the right of the SOVEREIGN, as representing the nation, has always been allowed— hence the term "King's highway ;" and though power was from time to time given to associations locally interested to make and repair roads, and to levy tolls thereon, that was but a delegated authority, and never amounted to a permanent transfer ; the public having always possessed the right of controlling the trustees and withdrawing from them the management of the highways included in their trust, a right which has been re peatedly exercised in our own times. It then urges the paramount importance of railways, and lays down the doctrine " that if it be necessary for the public welfare that a country should never divest itself in perpetuity of its right of property in ordinary highways, it is still more important that it should not part with the right to control its railways." It fully and clearly points out that a railway company must exercise a complete monopoly, that the public cannot count on being relieved by competition from the abuse of power on their part. The deduction from this is pretty obvious—that a monopoly subject to no responsibility, and under no efficient check or control, is necessarily an intolerable abuse, that can only he rendered innoxious by sub jecting it to a rigorous control and supervision. A most interesting historical sketch is given of the rise and progress of the railway system in the differ ent countries of Europe ; the errors, the mistakes that were committed in its infancy, and the means adopted for their correction, are fully and clearly set forth. Belgium receives the applause of the Com missioners as being the only country in which the Government adopted a systematic plan from the commencement, to which it afterwards strictly adhered—a plan that embraced the whole kingdom, and had exclusively for its object to communicate, at the cheapest possible rate, the benefit of railways equally to every part of its population. The lines in Belgium were originally all undertaken by the Government, and begun and completed by the means f loans ; by which means the fares have been fixed at an exceedingly low rate of late years. Several lines of railways have been con ceded to private companies, for terms of years, on terms beneficial to the public. In France, some lines were at first undertaken by private companies and others by the Government itself, till at length, in 1842, a plan was formed by which those means of communication should be created, and connected with each other according to a fixed system, of which the first general rule was, that the great lines should run from raris to the frontiers, both by land and sea ; the next to select the directest and shortest lines, and the plan of leasing the lines to private companies was recommended. This plan has ever been acted on since, and the lines are conceded for terms of years, varying from ninety-nine to twenty• five. In Austria, Prussia, and the other German States, the construction of the lines have generally been con ceded to private companies, either for terms of years, or until the capitals have been recouped by means of sinking funds, with rights of purchase, re vision of the fares, &c., &c., but in every instance the lines revert to the Government at some period. In this country alone the possession oflines in perpetuity was allowed. This neglect on the part of our successive Govern ments is lamented by the Commissioners. We can not, however, believe that the mischief is so great as it is represented to be ; the right of control is ad mitted on all sides, and that being the case we cannot regret that our Government acted on the wise prin ciple of non-interference with legitimate speculation. England is essentially a commercial nation, and the greatest possible degree of freedom should be conceded to every enterprise : it is to that we owe our greatness as a nation, and we shall not he injured, because the wealth and capital that has been created by the construction of railways has found its way into the coffers of individuals in place of the exchequer of the nation. The report goes to a con siderable length, and it is impossible to devote a greater space thereto this day. We shall, however, return to the subject on an early occasion. [We are aware that Mr.MottalsoN has addressed a letter to the Times, which we publish in another column, stating that he prepared the draught of the report, which was simply laid before the Committee, but as it is published as a Parliamentary paper, we have treated it as what it professes to be, viz., as the report of the Committee.] So frequently have we had occasion to insist upon the necessity of measures being adopted for the pro motion of cleanliness among our labouring classes, that we rejoice the late session was not brought to a conclusion before Parliament had taken the matter into consideration, and had afforded the new system the approbation and patronage of Government. Im mediately before the prorogation of the two Houses, namely, on Wednesday last, the royal assent was given to the Bill for encouraging the establishment of Public Baths and Washhouses. Nothing could have formed a better preliminary to the social reforms an ticipated from, and in many instances guaranteed to the people by, the RUSSELL Administration. What the present Ministry have principally undertaken to accomplish, and what the population princi pally expect them to perform, is a reorga nization of the internal and domestic arrange ments of the empire. They are to introduce proper and wholesome ventilation into the densest quarters of our towns and cities through the inter- TH E SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING- 1 AUGUST 31, lBl6. position of certain building enactments : they are to prevent the poisoning of our river •waters, and the I exhalation of pestilential vapours by a novel alteration in the sewerage : they are to increase the comfort of the inhabitants of cities, and to render the cities themselves more salubrivis by supplying them w ith additional quanties o f fresh water : they are to modify some of the pernicious and pestiferous incon veniences of our present system of interment; and, by other minor and collateral proceedings, they are to endeavour to improve the sanatory and moral con dition of the poorer classes of the United Kingdom. Remembering that these things form a considerable portion of the Ministerial programme, we look upon the acceptance of the Bill already particularised as a propitious circumstance in the inauguration of that Ministry. The Act for the Encouragement of Municipal and other Authorities in the Erection of Public Baths and Washhouses, is nothing more than a Legislative sanction of whomsoever may be induced to undertake the construction of such edifices and the formation of such establishments. Substantially it is merely the Government patronage of an extensive scheme. Go vernment has not empowered its officers to interfere in any undue or unnecessary manner in the prosecu tion of this project. The Act enables the councils of all municipal boroughs in the three kingdoms, all parochial vestries in England, and all town commis sioners in Ireland, to form local baths and washhouses for the convenience of the popu lation in the vicinity, and to discharge all expenses thereby incurred out of the local rates. It facilitates the purchase of land for the proposed undertakings, and sanctions loans from the Public Works' Loan Commissioners—those loans being re paid by instalments of twenty years. The permis sion of the Secretary for the Home Department is requisite for the adoption of the Act ; and loans can only be obtained under the express approval of the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury. Nothing, we conceive, could well be more salutary than this limited patronage of the Executive ; individual, or, we should rather say, local, enterprise would have been nullified had the Government taken the entire system into its own hands ; while, under the present arrangement, a kind of stability is afforded to the local enterprises of this nature by the direct sanction afforded them by Government. Now that extraordinary facilities are afforded to our parochial and municipal authorities, we cordially hope that public baths and washhouses will be springing up in all directions—in the metropolis, in the manufacturing towns, and in the rural districts. by affording to the humbler members of the com munity opportuities for insuring their personal and domestic cleanliness, let it be remembered that the poor will be healthier in body, more prone to morality and moderation, and more elevated and purified ps thinking beings. Nor will the erection of such esta blishments be any cause of pecuniary annoyance to the districts in which they may be undertaken ; on the contrary, experience has shown that such struc tures form a safe and even lucrative investment for capital. When such baths and washhouses are scattered throughout the country, our industrial classes will be better able to bring muscle and alacrity to their employment ; they will less frequently be a burden upon our parishes as ailing paupers; they will be more domesticated, and on that account more civilised; they will find the companionship of the schoolmaster more agreeable than that of the publican. A letter from Leghorn, of the 22d, states that the earthquakes in that city have at length ceased. The number of persons killed is repotted at 70, and 180 have been wounded. A great number of houses have been destroyed, and 4,000 persons have in conse quence been deprived of shelter. A letter from Rome of the 15th instant contains the following : " A subscription having recently been opened at Rome for the benefit of such of the amnestied prisoners as were without the means of subsistence, and for which con -iderable sums had been collected, the Pope sent for M. Marini, the Governor of the city, and anxiously inquired from him as to the object of it. M. Marini replied that he attributed a dangerous political motive to the sub scribers, but that he would not venture to give his ad vice on the Fubject. The Pope, after some moments' reflection, desired the list to be handed to him, and in scribed the name of his own family for 100 scudi, and that of M. Marini for 10 scudi, and ordered the list to be sent to all the principal houses in Rome. It is by such traits of delicacy that his Holiness wins every heart." The POPE and Cardinal Gun have nearly com pleted their programme of contemplated reforms. It is said that the Austrian Ambassador, to whom its contents have been communicated, has in vain remon strated against its publication. It is rumoured in Rome that the following appointments will shortly take place :----Prince BOEGHESE, Treasurer ; Prince AuTlEnr, Minister of War ; and Prince nommNo, Minister of Police and Governor of Rome. At Bologna the rejoicings in celebration of the amnesty had been renewed for two days. During the night of the first day the partisans of the ancient regime daubed the placards, containing the decree of amnesty with mud, and effaced the POPE'S portrait from some of them. In the morning it was with the greatest difficulty that the people were prevented taking summary vengeance en the perpetrators of this outrage. New placards were posted, and the people paraded the streets crying, " Viva Pius 1X.," " Viva the Italian Confederation," " Death to the tyrant." They posted a regular watch at night to defend the placards. A member of the late Military Commission, named ZAMA, was stabbed during the enzeute. At Padua some young men uttered cries of " Viva Pius IX., King of Italy," which nearly occasioned a collision with the Austrian troops. 'We extract the following from the Universal Ger man Gazette of the 24th instant : " The King of Pribsia has just been handed a letter from Alt, Raja of Riouw, an island in the China Seas, lying north of Sumatra, under the following circum stances :—M. Roettger, a Protestant Missionary, whose functions called him to Riouw in 1834, on his return to Prussia spoke with great praise and gratitude of the cordial reception given by the Raja to his colleagues and himself, and the humane treatment they had re ceived during an eight years' residence in the country. In acknowledgment for this hospitable reception the King, upon the recommendation of M. Roettger, sent some splendid presents to the Raja, consisting of chandeliers, girandoles, musical clocks, a rich vase, and gold and silver tissues, accompanied with an autograph letter from his Majesty. These presents were carried over by M. Roettger, who took his departure in 1844, and presented by him in due course, with the King's letter, to the Raja. The latter, in return, has sent a letter of thanks, accompanied by a dagger in a golden scabbard, and some javelins %sith golden orbaments." Count CASTIGLIONE, the General Commandant of Cracow, has published a proclamation, refuting the exaggerated reports of expected disturbances whio,b, have recently been rife in Germany. These reports had their origin in the fact that certain emissaries of the disaffected had been arrested in Austrian Gallicia. The Nuremberg Correspowientof the 24th says : " The Duke of Holstein, Danish Minister at Frank fort, has communicated to the Diet of that city the re sult of the examination made by the Commission relative to the succession to the Duchies of Scbleswick, Holstein, and Lauenbourg. The document so presented contains the legal development of the opinion put forth in the King's letter—that the kr regia applies to the whole of the duchy of Schleswiek. The pretensions of the two collateral lines—that is to say, of the lines of Sonder bourg and of the younger line of Gottorst are repre sented as unfounded. As to Holstein the document states that no protest has been made by the last Duke." Madrid papers of the 23d and 24th August have arrived. It would appear from the following passage in the Herald°, the official organ of the Court, that the marriage of the QUEEN of SPAIN with Don FRAN CISCO D'ASSIS was considered as bettled, and that there is every probability of a matrimonial alliance taking place between the Infante Donna LOUISA and Don ENRIQUE:— " We have long declared that we considered it highly desirable to effect the marriage of the Queen as soon as possible, and no spirit of party shall ever cause us to raise any obstacle to so happy an event. We have no objection to make to the proposed arrangement ; we have demanded for Isabella 11. a prince of libaral ideas, and a Spaniard—Don Francis d'Assis is both. As to the union of the Infanta Louisa Charlotte we see nothing against it, and we only wait for the decision of oar Sovereig❑ to conform to it with respect." The Heraldo of the 24th announces the arreat at Saragossa of a former Aide-de-Camp of General Es- PARTERO. He was residing there as the agent of a gas company. The Militar Espanol denies that General FLORES has received any assistance or protection from the Government in getting nil his evedition against the Republic of the Ecuador, or that the Government has removed any obstacles in the way of his recruiting Colonel MILAUS DE Baoscu and his fellow-pri soners, accused of conspiracy against the State, have been unanimously acquitted. The Conde di Thomar (CosTA CABRAL) has left Madrid for Cadiz. Senor GONZALES BRAVO was to leave Lisbon on the 20th. The Gazette announces that 1,725 inscriptions of Five per Cent. Stock, to the amount of 700,000,000 reals, proceeding from the creation of the 700,000,0 - 60 reals authorised by the law of June 16, 1840, and 586 inscriptions of Three per Cent. Stock, representing a sum of 20,000,000 reals, received in payment of national property, would be burned in thirty days from the present date. - MADRID Boma, AUG. 24.—The Three per Cents. were done at 34 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 214; the t ere F st, ive per 6 ; C a e n n d t s t . haet Coupons, 22it at 20i. ; the Debt without In- 'We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Journal des Debals publishes the sentence passed by the Court of Peers upon HENRI, viz., hard labour for life. HENRI himself seemed disappointed at the sentence. When the Registrar of the Court read the jud4ment to him, " That is not what I expected," said he, after a moment of silence, "I wished for a capital con viction, and I implored to be put to death as a fa vour and as an act of grace." The following account of his behaviour since his sentence is from the Con slitutionnel of Saturday. " When the registrar of the Court of Peers proceeded to read the sentence of the Court to the regicide Joseph Henri the latter trembled convulsively, and a sudden paleness covered his features, in which intense anxiety was depicted. After having heard his sentence, he ap peared to be much shocked. I would have preferred death to infamy,' :aid he; I expected something else.' The following morning M. Baroche, his advocate, called at the prison to console his client. Henri became calm. He spoke at great length, but incoherently and uncon nectedly. He expressed his intention to address a petition to the King to pray him to commute the penalty of hard labour to that of transportation. Since his con viction Joseph Henri has declared, in the most formal manner, that there were no projectiles in his pistols. When some doubt was expressed on this point, he added that he was ready to furnish proofs of the truth of his assertion. Ile then indicated the place where he con cealed a written paper, containing the exact recital of all the preparations he had made to induce a belief that his attempt was serious." The proceedings connected with the petition to the Chamber of Deputies against the return of M. DESSAIGNE for Vendome, bid fair to give rise to a ques tion of privilege, which may be regarded as a pendant to the celebrated STOCKDALE and HANSARD case, of the British House of Commons. His return was petitioned against on the score of corruption, and he has commenced a prosecution for libel against those who signed the petition. All the Opposition Members and the Opposition papers protest against such a pro ceeding, as calculated to destroy altogether the right of petition. The Ministerialists, on the contrary, de fend the conduct of M. DESSAIGNE, and declare, that if the statements of the petitioners are well founded they need be under no apprehension. On Saturday the Chamber having finished the veri fication of the powers of its Members, proceeded to elect its officers. M. SAUZET was elected President by a large majority, the numbers being— FOT M.

On Friday, the Association pour la Liberte des Echanges held its first public meeting in Paris, in the Salle Montesquieu, the Duc D'HARCOURT being in the chair. The Noble Duke, in opening the pro ceedings, said— " Our project is very simple. We demand that la bour be free in its elements of production and markets, and that there should be no privileged labour prejudicial to general labour. After the liberty of man, the liberty of thought and of the press, the most essential is the liberty of trade. We will demand it with ardour. Our noble country is sufficienty wise, sufficiently great to enjoy the fulness of its rights. We will thus accomplish the designs of Providence, which has laVished its bless ings upon us in order that we should enjoy them. If free trade be calculated to render men more nappy, it must for the same reason render them better. Men become enlight ened by the facility of their relations and their transac tions. They will soon discover that it is preferable for them to exchange the fruits of their productions and labour, than tear them from ench other and con tend for them by what was formerly called war, and which at the present period we would call barbarism. We expect to meet many obstacles on our way, for those who enjoy monopoly and privileges will not easily consent to part with them. But we will triumph over their resistance. We rely on your zeal and perse verance; we also rely on your purses; for, gentlemen, in our days little can b 2 effected without money." The Commerce gives the following resume, an ex planatory declaration of which was then read : " They declare in this document that the Free.trade Association does not contest the right of imposing ( n goods passing the frontier duties destined for the com mon expenses, provided they be determined by the sole consideration of the I , vants of the Treasury. But as soon as the duty, losing its fiscal character, has for its object the rejection of foreign produce, to the detriment of the revenue itself, in order to raise the price of a similar article produced at home, and thus to injure the community for the profit of one class—from that instant protection manifests itself, and that principle it is which the Association hopes completely to efface from our laws. Although the Association pursues the complete removal of the protective system, it does not follow that it requires such a reform to be accomplished in one day, or to be the result of one vote. Even to revert from evil to good, from an artificial state of things to a natural situation, requires prudential precautions. These details of execution belong to the State ; the mission of the Association is to propagate and to popu larise the principle. As to the means which it intends to employ, they never will be otherwise than legal and constitut-anal. In fine, the Association stands aloof from all party politics. It does not place itself at the service of any particular branch of trade, of any class, or of any portion of the country. It embraces the cause of general interest, which, under all its bearings, is identical with that of the public consumer." The meeting was addressed by MM. LEON FAUCHER, RIGLET, and BLANQUI. The proceedings concluded by the opening a subscription to defray the expenses of the agitation.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. 1 CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was rather active. Sales 10,000 bales, at former rates to a slight advance. Shares were steady, but not generally higher. There is not a single arrival of the least interest in the City to-day. An Act, passed during the last session of the Ame rican Legislature, of considerable importance relative to foreign coins, has, we are assured, not received due publicity in this country. We therefore draw attention to it:— " An Act to establish the value of certain foreign coins and moneys of account, and to amend existing laws. " Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa tives of the United States in Congress assembled, That in all computations at the Custom-house, the Foreign coins and moneys herein specified, shall be estimated as fol lows, to wit :--The Specie dollar of Sweden and Nor way at one hundred and six cents. The specie dollar of Denmark at one hundred and five cents. The Thaler of Prussia and of the northern States of Germany, at sixty-nine cents. The florin of the southern states of Germany at forty cents. The florin of the Austrian empire and of the city of Augsberg, at forty-eight and one half cents. The lira of the Lombardo Venetian kingdom, and the lira of Tuscany, at sixteen cents. The franc of France, and of Belgium, and the lira of Sardinia, at eighteen cents. six mills. The ducat of Naples, at eighty cents. The pound of the British provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, New foundland and Canada, at four dollars. " And all laws inconsistent with this Act are hereby repealed." In the corn market this morning there is all but a panic. Wheat is quoted 4s per quarter lower. Barley, on the contrary, is on the rise. ln Foreign Wheat sales cannot be made under a fall of 3s per quarter. The accounts from the country are almost all satisfactory as as to the quality and yield of the harvest. The Funds have been very firm indeed this morning. The few bargains that have been made in Consols were principally for cash, to be delivered to-morrow. The present value of Consols for the Account is 96i 4, and for Money 96k. The premium upon Exchequer bills has been at 18s. Upon India Bonds (under 1,0001.) the rate now is 30s. premium. Bank Stock is rather lower, •2084. The only bargains requiring notice to-day are those in Mexican Five per Cents , which have improved to 27. Brazil Stock is firm, at 90; Spanish Three per Cents. at 371 for the Account, and the Dutch Two-and-a-halt per Cents. at 59g. The Railway Share market is comparatively dull, as to prices, to-day. The adjustment of the account is going oft well. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 2O B l /2 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities ... 96 1 A 3 per Cent.

Real del Monte, Unregistered MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The past week's arrivals of Wheat of home produce were on the increase—they having exceeded 6,000 quarters; but those of all other articles of English Grain were small. From Scotland and Ireland the receipts were very limited; while from abroad all articles, if we except Oats, came slowly to hand. Fresh up, a full average quantity of English Wheat, chiefly of the present year's growth, and in good condition, came to hand ; and the stands were well filled with samples of both Red and White, owing to which, and the continuance of fine weather for harvest work in the north, the demand was exceedingly heavy, at an abatement in the currencies obtained on Monday last of from 2s to, in some instances, 4s per quarter, and a clearance was not effected. The accounts respecting harvest work continue very satisfactory. We had rather a large quantity of foreign Wheat on offer. All descriptions were excessively inactive, and, to effect sales, a reduction of from 23 to 3s per quarter was submitted to by the importers. In Corn under lock so little was doing that prices were nominal. The supply of Old Barley was very trifling, yet the amount of business transacted in it was small, at late rates. The few samples of New on show com manded a steady sale, though they were not to say in first rate condition, and se!ected parcels produced 40s to 42s per quarter. The supply of Malt was not large. Superfine White parcels moved off steadily, other kinds slowly, at late rates. Notwithstanding the large quantity of Oats on offer, the Oat trade, arising from the unfavourable accounts re specting the potato crop, was firm, at fully last Monday's quotations. The supply of Beans was small, yet the sale was heavy at previous currencies. All kinds of Peas were in good request at extreme figures. In Flour very little was 658 to —s doing, at unaltered value.

We had on offer about 600 f ore i gn Beasts, twenty b eing from Spain, the remainder from Holland and Germany; 1,800 ditto of Sheep and Lambs, and sixteen Calves, nearly the whole of which sold at very full prices. The Spanish Oxen produced from 151 to 181 5s each. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts were moderately ex tensive, but of middling quaiity. Nearly all breeds moved off freely, at very full prices, and, in some instances, the prunest Scots fout.d buyers at 4s 2d per Blbs, and at which a good clearance was effected. The droves from the north of England comprised 1,500 shorthorns; from Noriblk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 300 Scots and Homebreds ; from the western and midland counties. 500 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland ninety horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were again large, but not quite so extensive as on some preceding Mondays. The Mutton trade was again rather active, and last week's prices were readily obtained for all kinds—the primest old Downs pro ducing fully 4s 8d per 81bs. Prime Down Lambs were in good request at full currencies, but other breeds moved off slowly. The Veal trade was again tolerably steady, at fully previous rates.
