NEW WRIT FOR THE BOROUGH OF LISKEARD. In pursuance of the directions of an Act, psssd in the twenty-fourth par of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Third, intiuled " An Act to rep, al su much of two Acts, made in the tenth and fifteenth years of the reign of his present Majesty, as authorises the Speaker of the House of Commons to issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown for making out writs for the election of Members to serve in Parliament, in the man ner therein mentioned, and for substituting other provi sions for the like purposes." . - Ido hereby give notice, that the death of the Right Honourable Charles Buller, late a Member serving in this present Parliament for the borough of Liskeard, hath been certified to me in writing, under the hands of two Members serving in this present Parliament, and that I shall issue my warrant to the Clerk of the Crown to make out a new writ for the electing of u Member to servein the present Parliament for the said borough, at the end of fourteen days after the insertion of this notice in the London Gazette. r Ralph Harvey Thompson said that he was formerly a clerk of Mr. Terence Bellew M'Manus. Was so up to the time of his leaving Liverpool. It was on a Monday night, about the end of July. In page 16 of the book he saw M‘Manus's handwriting. The same handwriting was also in pages 35, 49, and 92. Knew the prisoner Murphy. He was intimate with M'Manus. They had lodged together. Page 41 in the book was i❑ Murphy's handwriting; also pages 45 and 57, and the signatures in 93, 106, and 119. Knew the prisoner Delamere. He was in the employ of Tayleuro and Copley, coal mer chants. He had before that been in the employ of Mr. M'Manus. Pages 62 and 85 in the book were in his handwriting. Delamere was in the habit of calling on 31‘Manus. Dr. Murphy. Dr. Reynolds, and Smyth were also in the habit of calling. Mr. DEARSLEY—Did not Smyth speak in condemns nation of M•Manus's physical force notions? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the question. Thomas Staines knew Dr. Reynolds, and identified Dr. Reynolds's hand writing in the minute books. He also identified the handwriting in the books of the pri sorter, Dr. O'Donnell.

Mr. Knowles then proceeded to read in detail from the minute books found in the possession of the prisoners, and which had been referred to by the Attorney-General in his opening address. Amongst the proceedings re corded was a protest against the Irish Crime Prevention Act, and a speech against it by M'Manus and some of the prisoners. Minutes of subsequent meetings de clared war to the Morning Chronicle, Times, Post, and the press generally. The minute disclosed a most voluminous account of the organisation effected, their general correspondence, and the continued formation of the clubs, and the pro gress made in arming. Amongst the correspondence which the reading of the minutes disclosed was that which had taken place between the various clubs in Liverpool and the Confederates in Dublin, and the suggestions made for a general organisation on the arrest of Martin, Duffy, and the other Irish prisoners. Several of the speakers declared that the covenant between the people and the Government was broken, and that we were with out a constitution. The letters found in the possession of the prisoners were then read by the Learned Gentleman. One of them recommended that addresses should be sent to the people of France from all the large towns in England for their encouragement, and. in order to attract the attention of Ministers. Charles .Aldred, who called himself a newspaper re porter, read notes of ,the speeches alluded to by the Attor ney-General. Robert Roche, reporter, was present at a meeting in Queen's-square on the 26th of March. Mr. Doheny was one of the speakers. The evidence of this witness was proceeding when our report was dispatched. There were 51 witnesses on behalf of the Crown. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. Benjamin Masters, Mary, who lived with him as his wife, and John Thomas, were brought before the Lord Mayor, in the custody of Davis, a city policeman, charged with having committed frauds. The two first prisoners were well known as expert bands, and the de scription of their system, which it will be necessary for trades-people to observe, as the process was stated to be extremely successful, caused a good deal of interest amongst the policemongers in attendance. Davis said—On Sunday evening I say the three priso ners in Leadenhall, and knowing them to be bad cha racters I watched them. Benjamin Masters left the other two, and went into the shop of a tobacconist, where I was afterwards told he bought a pennyworth of to bacco, and paid for it with half a sovereign, and upon receiving the change pretended to reckon it, con cealed a shilling, and then told the shopman that another shilling was wanting. As the custo mer persisted in his statement, and the shopman thought it possible that he might have made a mistake, the shilling was handed over. Benjamin Masters then left the shop, joined his two companions, and off they walked into Gracecharch-street, where in an instant they disappeared. On Saturday evening I saw the three again in Leadenhall-street, and followed them. Masters and the woman went into the Mansion-house public house, and called for two pennyworth of gin, paid for it with half-a-sovereign, and received 9s. 10d. in change. The man suddenly slipped one of the shillings into his mouth, began to reckon up the change, and said to the barmaid, " Hallos, this is not right; I must have another shilling." The barmaid was about to give him the other shilling, but was informed by the street-keeper, whom I bad told to keep an eye upon the pair, that the man had received 9s. 10d. from her. I then took the man and woman into custody; and the third prisoner, who was outside smoking a pipe, came in afterwards to see what delayed his friends, and was also apprehended. Other witnesses confirmed this account. Benjamin Masters said, that the first charge was al together without foundation, and thought the Lord Mayor would not suppose the tobacconist to be such a Rat as not to know the difference between 95. 10d. and Bs. 10d., especially as a shilling would make a large hole in the profit in twopence worth of tobacco.—(Laughter.) As for the last case, he merely put the shilling in his mouth to see whether it was a good one, and was only joking when he spoke of a deficiency in the change. The policeman produced a basket which he had taken from the woman, and which contained sundry small articles, each of which must have cost about 2d. or 3d., and the presumption was that 10s. or 12s. were plun dered from tradespeople iu the mere business of supply ing the basket. Davis said that the prisoners had scoured the metro• polis with wonderful success, and lived in very nice style upon the profits of their industry. It appeared that they kept a book containing a list of the shops they had visited. The LORD lfATort said he felt much satisfaction in seeing before him persons who had been checked in such a career, and sentenced Benjamin Masters to imprison ment in Bridewell, as a rogue and vagabond for three months, the woman for six weeks, and John Thomas for one month. Masters—Well, I hope your Lordship will order that all the money the officers took from me may be restored to me. The LORD MAYOR —Not at all. It shall be entered upon the beck of your commitment, to be applied to de fray the charge of your support in prison. Mrs. Masters—l hope your Lordship will let me have my basket and the property in it. The LORD MAYOR—No. They shall be disposed of for your support in prison. Upon going down stairs to be locked up in the cage until the termination of the day's business, the woman said to her two companions, in the presence of the police man, " Well, I told you not to come into this City. I knew we'd catch it." A little afterwards they all ac knowledged that they had done wonders at the west end of the town, and that near Chelsea there had been nine distinct charges, each one of which w as t rue , aga i nst them, but the 00l of an inspector refused to notice any one of them, and, in the opinion of the female, that was a neighbourhood which they ought not to have left fur the City. They all admitted that they had been in fifty prisons, but there was no law to reach them. GUILDHALL. Mr. Benjamin Andrade, butcher, of the College market, appeared on a summons before Alderman Hum phery, to show cause why he detained 6 stone weight and 2lbs of beef, the property of eemplainant. Mr. George Bentley, of Henrietta-street, Manchester square, stated that on Saturday morning he went to the College-market, and purchased three !pieces of ribs of beef, at .sd. per lb., which weighed 6st. 21bs. He paid Mr. Andrade the sum of IL Os. 10d., and left the meat for a short time. On his return he was about to take it away, when he was prevented by the defendant and his man, who said that he had agreed to take four bits, the other being a pprt of the loin weighing 231b5., and on his refusing on the ground that he never purchased it, he was told that unless he did take it he should neither have the meat nor his money. Under those circumstances he took out the present summons. The defence set up by Mr. Andrade was, that he sold the four pieces to the complainant, and told his man to weigh them, but the latter made a mistake by only weighing three, and when the weight was called out he did not notice the difference, in consequence of being engaged with another person at the back of the pre mises. However, shortly after, he asked his man why he had not weighed the fourth piece, as it was pur chased, and on being told it was a mistake, and being likewise informed that his man had been tampered with by the complainant, who offered to give him half a pint of beer to throw a pound weight out of the scale, he (defendant) was determined to keep Mr. Bentley to the strict letter of his bargain, particularly as he left the least valuable piece of meat behind him. He, therefore, ordered that the meat should not be delivered up, unless the fourth piece was taken, according to agreement. The defendant then called his man, who spoke to its weight, and also swore that the complainant offered to give him a penny to throw out the pound weight. Alderman HUMPHERY—Did it not strike you, that if he intended cheating you, he would have immediately taken the three pieces away after paying you, instead of leaving them there and calling again?—Well, I did not think of that. It did not strike me in that way. Alderman HUMPHERY—You must return the money and pay the costs. The defendant paid the amount directly. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Charles Roland, a Swiss, who fills the office of clerk at the Swiss . ‘ Protestant Church in Moore street, was charged with a criminal assault on Frances Keast, a girl about thirteen years of age, but of the appearance of a child of ten years old. The girl's mother, it appeared, had been separated from her husband for some years. The prisoner visited the mother for the last three or four years, and had been accustomed to sleep in the same bed with the mother and the girl. About three years ago, the prisoner com menced indecently assaulting the girl. The girl told her mother on several occasions, but was either scolded or beaten by her. The prisoner continued from time to ti me his shameful conduct, accompaniedltfilt fur circumstances of disgusting atrocity wholly t publica tion. From the evidence of the girl the prisoner had more than once committed a capital offence. The gir at last met with her father, and she told him of the pri soner's conduct - and her mother's neglect. The prisoner was, accordingly, apprehended as soon as he could b. met with. In defence, the prisoner said he had been a father to Andrew Hewlett, builder, Abbott's Ann, Southamp ton, Dec. 20, at two, and Jan. 23, at one, at the Court of Bankruptcy.

Ik/sw Docks AT LEITII.—The extensive harbour works are proceeding with great rapidity. Notwith standing the advanced period of the year, and the storminess of the weather, one hundred tons of stones, besides rubble work, have been laid down during the last ten days. About 350 men, masons, carpenters, and la bourers, are constantly employed, a t wages averag i ng from 12s. to 205.; the circulation of so much money in the town must tell upon the shop trade of the port. But the greatest boon is to come —the after-good to the port, from the increased facilities to shipping by the enlarge. went of the docks, as well as the deep -water entrance, will shortly be felt by all classes whose interests lie with the trade and commerce of the town. T o th e present Lord Advocate Leith is mainly indebted fur these im provements.—Caledonian Mercury. EPISCOPAL PATRONAGE.--Within the last five years he Rev. J. P.

Essax.—A fire took place at Weald Hall on Thursday night, by which a r ange o f sta bli ng an d ot h er buildings, the property of C. T. Tower, Esq., were burned down. Five valuable hunters were likewise de stroyed. LIVERPOOL WINTER ASSIZES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. Francis O'Donnell, 29, Joseph Cuddy, 32, Matthew Somers, 23, Robert Hopper, 22, Edward Murphy, 20, James O'Brien, 22, Martin Boshill, Peter Herbert Dela mere, George Smith, and James West, were charged with conspiracy at Liverpool. There were eleven counts in the indictment. The first count charged the prisoners with procuring and sending arms to Ireland, to be used i❑ the breach of the peace, and in opposing the execution of the laws, and for the purpose of insurrection and tumult. The second count charged them with procuring arms with intent to send them to Ireland. The third count, to aid and assist conspiracy in Ireland generally. The fourth count charged them with an intent to raise insurrec tion in England, and to arm and procure arms for them selves, and cause others to do so, for the purpose of ob structing the execution of the laws and the preservation of the peace. The fifth count, to incite others to raise insurrection in England, and to arm and procure arms for the purpose of obstructing the laws. The sixth and seventh counts wero similar to some of the preceding, with a few technical differences. The eighth count charged the prisoners with inducing persons to form clubs to create terror and disaff,ction. The ninth, to form clubs to arm and create terror. The tenth, to , form illegal clubs; and the eleventh, to riot and levy war. The Attorney-General (Sir John Jervis), the At torney-General for the county'palatine (Mr. Knowles, Q.C.), Mr. Welsby (specially retained), Mr. Crompton, and Mr. Pagett appeared for the Crown. Mr. Pollock and Mr. Simon defended O'Donnell, Cuddy, Somers Hopper, and Murphy. Mr. Tindal Atkinson defended O'Brien; Mr. James, Boshill; Mr. Segar, Delamere ; and Mr. Dearsley and Mr. Aspinall, Smyth. The ATTORNZY•GENERAL stated the case. He drew attention to the standing in society, of the prisoners, and proceeded to say that irwould be proved that the pri soners had organised themselves to set fire to Liverpool if the Government would not grant the demands of the Irish. Mr. Meagher, now convicted of high treason. came over from Ireland to Liverpool and meetings were held and clubs formed for the purpose of assisting the Irish to obtain the Repeal of the Union. He then referred to the first meeting of the repealers in Liverpool, in Deeemberlast, when the prisoners were present. He then readthe minutes of that and subsequent meetings from the minute book, of which the authorities had obtained posesssion. It appeared that M 4 Manus was continually writing to the disaffected in Ireland, reporting the pro gress of the organisation in Liverpool. The Learned Gentleman continued at length to read from the minutes of ,tbe different meetings, which disclosed the arrange ments made for procuring arms. and the appointment of different sub-committees to cause their sale and distribu tion among the people. No ono, could read those minutes without being str uc k w i t h what was intended, and that the Constitution itself was in danger. He then said he would read from the speeches of the prisoners, one of which, delivered by Somers, was the most outrageous he had ever yet had to bring•before a court of justice. Amongst other topics, the speaker asked his audience if they were resisted in Liverpool, and a massacre took place, what would they do? The answer was " Mos cow!" The Learned Gentleman, in continuation from the speech of Somers, referred to the ob,ervations he made towards its close, in which he stated that he was reminded of Warsaw in flames, and that if the Government did not grant their demands the sky would be reddened with this Babylon (Liverpool) on fire. He then cited extracts from speeches delivered by Dr. Reynolds, who publicly advised the people to get pikes and guns. He also read from speeches of the other prisoners at different meetings, in N 1 hich the con viction of John Mitchel was alluded to in the most vio lent terms, and the people requested to arm for his rescue. In one of the speeches the speaker observed, amongst other things, that Lord John Russell had made a fool of an apostate, the Attorney- General, and that it would give him great pleasure to see Lord John Russell's head on the top of a pike. The speaker then stated the price at which pikes could be had. The Learned Gen tleman then referred to the arrest of several of the pri soners, and to the ,pikes and arms found in their pos pession. A number of police having deposed to taking the pri. the girl, and it was quite absurd to believe that an old man like him could act in the way described. Mr. BINGHAM ordered the prisoner to be remanded. THE MARYLEBONE. RE LATE ROBBERY AT MR. RlDOUT'S.—Yester day, Benjamin Jennings, and Elizabeth, his wife, were brought up in the custo:ly of Sergeant Harrison, 14, and Price, 240, of the D division, on the charge of having been concerned in plundering the residence o' C. G. Ridout, Esq., 11, Wirnpele-street. Cavendish-square, of p)..ste and other property to toe va4te of more than 2001. Some particulars connected wick this case have already appeared. Mr. Ridout, with the whole of his. filially, went into the country on the 29th of August last, leaving his servant, Elizabeth Rogers, solely in care of the pre mises; in consequence of a communication subsequently made to him, he returned to town on the 2d of October, when he found that his plate, &c., had been abstracted from a cupboard, and after a u.ost minute investigation by the officers above alluded to, and Constable Hand ley, 199 1), the woman Rogers and her sister, Isa bells Jennings, together with John Jenning , the husband of the latter, were taken up on suspicion of being some of th e guilty [ Janie*. They underwent several examinations at this court, whence they were ultimately committed ter trial; and, on their guilt being established to the satisfaction of a jury at the Old Bailey, they were convicted, but from some information given by one of the prisoners to Mr. Cope, relative to others being mixed up in the matter, and which infor mation he (Mr. Cope) made known to Lord Denman, by whom the case was tried, his Lordship deferred the passing of any sentence until the ensuing session. Yes terday, the following evidence against the prisoners, who are closely related to the three already found guilty, was adduced. Mr. J. Arnott, manager to Mr. Gray, pawnbroker, 114, Fleet street, producd two massive silver gravy spoons, and four table ditto, upon which he advanc, d to the female prisoner, on Sept. 22, the sum of 51., who was then very respectably attired, and represented that the articles belonged to a lady at Hackney, whose address she at the time gave. Mr. Ridout identified the said spoons as being a por tion of the plate stolen. Sergeant Harrison,and Price, the constable, deposed to their having on the previous evening took the prisoners into custody in a beer shop at Tottenham. When they were told the nature of the offence with which they were charged, the male prisoner said he knew nothing about it, and the wife said, " It's a very bad job; I wish I had never known them," alluding, of course, to the prisoners no w awaiting their sent ence . Han dley stated that on the night of Thursday, September 21, he saw the prisoner Elizabeth Jennings in conversation with Mr. Ridout's servant Rogers, on the step of his (Mr. Ridout's) door. Many other particulars were gone into, some of which had a strong tendency to show the guilt of the female prisoner, but nu evidence of anything like a conclusive nature was brought forward against her husband, to whom, however, much suspicion is attached, from cer tain observations made by him when he was captured by the police, as before alluded to. The prisoners, who both declared that they were en tirely innocent of the robbery, and asserted that the witnesses had sworn what was false, were remanded till Monday next; the male prisoner was told that he must put in bail lor his attendance on that day, himself in 501, and two sureties in 40/. each, but as he could not pro duce the required sureties, he and his wife were both conveyed to prison in the Government van. THAMES. Mary Ann Smith, the wife of a shoemaker, named Sydney Smith, residing at 25, Devonshire-street, Com mercial-road, was charged with stabbing a man named Johnson, who at present lies in a very dangerous state at the London Hospital. About one o'clock on Sunday morning, Burns, 225 K. was informed that a murder had been attempted in Devonshire -street, and on enter ing the house, No. 25, he found the wounded man lying on a wretched bed, with no covering, and an assistant of Dr. Jarrett, a surgeon, in the Back-road, probing the wound, which was two inches in depth, in the fleshy part of the buttock. The constable took the prisoner into custody, and on further inquiry it appeared that the wounded man lodged with the prisoner, and had failed to procure work. She taunted him with laziness. More words ensued, which were followed by a scuffle. She attacked him with a sharp shoemaker's knife, and he seized a chair for protection; a struggle ensued, and the wounded man in leaving the room sustained the injury described in the surgeon's certificate. Before the arrival of the constable the prisoner's husband, who was present at the time, wrenched the knife from her hand and threw it into a corner of the room, where it was found by the constable stained with. blood. The prisoner was re manded until Monday, when it is supposed the wounded man will be able to attend.

GORE'S NEW NOVEL, " THE DIAMOND AND THE PEARL."—This is one of Mrs. Gore's most ani mated and life-like productions; like all her works it contains many forcible sketches of character, and amus ing details of social life. The Diamond and The Pearl aro the daughters of a rich baronet. Mrs. Gore has never previously pourtrayed a character so purely femi nine and amiable as that of Blanche. She is altogether different to the brilliant personages who usually figure as her heroines. Among the other characters of the book are some whose portraits, drawn by her practised and skilful hand, will bo easily recognised. These sketches, while they pique curiosity, and exc.te interest, will, assuredly, heighten her reputation as a novelist of society.—Britannia. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.—THE EYES.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. —Optical improvements to enable persons at an ad vanced age to read with ease and to discriminate objects with perfect distinctness. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, have invented Spectacle Lenses, of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advantage derived from this invention over the Spectacles now in common use is, that instead of vision becoming strained, heated, weakened, and in numerous cases seriously injured, it is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons tire enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occu pation, and can see with those Lenses of a much less magnifying power, and that which is a matter of the greatest consequence is that they do not require the frequent change to further helps. Also, Achromatic Telescopes, Opera Glasses, Microscopes, invisible and all kinds of Acoustic Instruments, for relief of extreme deafness. Caution—Messrs. S. and B.

DARING ASSAULT AND ROBBERT.—On Friday a most daring assault and robbery was perpetrated in open day, ab ou t one o ' c l oc k , a b out a m il e f rom this city, on the public road to Kirkintilloch. It appears that the Barony Parochial Board had a number of able-budied poor employed at out-door labour at Barnhill, on the above road, and yesterday being pay-day, the porter, Dugald M Gregor, was proceeding to that place, at t h e time stated, with the money, amounting to 141. 10s., in silver and copper, for the payment of the men's wages. When turning the corner of the road, beyond the en trance to the Sighthill Cemetery, he was met by two men, one of whom threw the contents of a tin jug —a quan tity of soot and water—in his face, and then seizing him round the body, held him till his accomplice rifled his pockets, and took possession of all the money he had, with which, after throwing him down, they both de camped. On the poor man gaining his feet and his senses, the villains were out of his view. The supposi tion is that they were two of the able-bodied poor, who had the best opportunity of knowing M'Gregor, the time he would be on the road, and the prize of which he was likely to be possessed.—Glasgow Courier. Too Goon A JUDGE.—The late Chancellor Kent (says an American journal) was exceedingly fond of martial music; and hearing the drums of a recruiting party, who had taken a station at the corner of the street, beating a point of war, he walked out to listen to it nearer. Insensibly he was whistling the burden of the tune, when a man of war accosted him:—" You are fond of such music., then, my fine fellow?" " Very," was the reply. " Very," said Sergeant Kite, " then why not join us? Good quarters, g“od pay, large bounty. Be sides our c a p ta i n is a p l or i ons f e ll ow . why, won ' t you now? You can't do better." " Well," said the Chan cellor, "I have one pretty strong objection." " What is it?" asked the sergeant- "I hippen to have just now a i • , etter trade." " What trade?' said the cquisittr. " am Chancellor of the State of New Yolk." " Whew!" intorji-cted the sergeant. "eitrike up! quick step! for. ward! march!" Off tramped the_ military man, with out looking behind him, leaving the Chancellor to enjoy hi s laugh at the adventure. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. - - SWINDON (WILTS) CHRISTMAS FAT CATTLE SHOW, DEC. 11.—Beasts: Without exception the show this day exce, dad that of any previous year, both as to quantity and really useful quality. Of short horns, Devon, and Scotch beasts a fair proportion, the largest being of the fine Hereford oxen. Mr. Trinder, of Wantaee, again exhibited the most splendid animals. So beautiful a day (more like May than December) brought a vast number to the market; the new town was scarcely ever seen so full of well- dressed people. Sales were brisk; some of the beasts made high prices, several reaching Ils 6d to 12s. per score pounds, common price 11s ditto, moderate ditto lOs to lOs 6d ditto; butchers at tending, from Oxford, Glouc ester , Bath, Frome, Marl borough, Devizes, Warminster, and largest towns in Hants; everything selling. C a l ves: S ome exceedingly fine ai!cl very fat; several making 51 each, smaller 31 to 41 ditto, or from lls to 12s per score pounds. Sheep: The horns and half-breds were very large and much no ticed; but some of the best six-tooth Down wethers, bred by Mr. E. Tull, excelled all others; several pens of the largest sold a, high as 51 each, others at from 41 to 41 lOs ditto; smaller sheep, 3/ 10s to 41 ditto; two tooth and four-tooth ditto from 55s to 656 ditto; mo derate sheep making 7d to 8d per ln.

Ewes, lambs, and tegs is each. A good number for sale, nearly all were disposed of. Store pigs were of slow sale, many not going off, though offered at less money. Cheese—A reasonable supply.

CHIPPENHAM STOCK, SHEEP, HORSE, AND CHEESE FAIR, DEC. 11.—Stock—The December fair for lean stock was held this day, and well attended. The show of Devons, Herefords, and Welsh cattle was extensive. A considerable quantity was sold, at rather improved prices for the sellers. Large two to three years old, fit for stalling, found ready purchasers at an advance of 158 to 20s per head. Compact North Welsh and Scots were also in demand at lOs each more money. Top prices for Devons and short-horns, 131 lOs to 14 guineas each; moderate Herefords, 111 to 121 ditto; good Welsh, 8/ to 9/ ditto; small Irish, 6/ to 71 ditto; cows in calf, 171 to 181 ditto; ditto, with a small calf, 181 to 20/ ditto; young heifers in calf, 13l to 141 ditto; small ditto, 91 to 101 ditto; bull calves, six to n i ne mont h s o ld , 41 to 6/ each; cow ditto, 3/ to Si ditto; sucklers, 15s to 25s ditt o; f a t beasts sold from lOs 6d to 11s per score; inferior ditto, fat cows, bulls, and old working oxen, at 8s to 9s per score.

Horses seemed to hang on hand of the dealers; very few selling excepting those of supe rior make and quality —even such were not in great de mand. Working animals, either for farmers, contrac tors, or the road, were to be had at greatly reduced prices. Cobs, Welsh, and forest ponies were offered at very little money, yet but few persons were tempted to purchase. Pigs, very plentiful; large hogs for fattening exceedingly cheap; small for porkers, also lower—many not selling; fat swine were selling at 10s 6d per score; some moderate ditto, 9s 6d to lOs ditto. Cheese—A good quantity of this year's North Wilts make, but few of good old; prices for the latter were 2s per cwt dearer; for new ditto, Is ditto; all the be s t names were purchased by or f or the London factors.

CHELMSFORD CHRISTMAS CATTLE SHOW. The Chelmsford show and market for fat stock, specially provided for the hospitable tables of Christmas, was held on Friday, and the extent and character of the supply showed that there is, for the present, little fear of a fa mine, or of a lack of the choice things of this life, in the festive season close at hand. Many of the oxen were fine animals, not fitted up at an enormous expense for effect on a show day —a system which is getting out of fashion—but just such beasts as are likely to be profit able to grazier and butcher, and most satisfactory to the consumer. The most splendid beasts in the market were two sent by Mr. Bewera, of Sandon Hall, and con signed to Mr. J.
