At a 3leeting held on the 20th ultimo, of the Committee appointed l the County of Inverness, for promoting the ection at Inverness of a Lunatio Asylum, for P au p er an d other Luna t ics of the Northern Counties of Scotland ; • We, the undersigned, William H. Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff- Substitute of Inverness-shire and John Mackenzie, banker In In. • verness, were appointed ; Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon don, in aid of the proposed Asylum. And being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish ment, in the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of your support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression, we will do ourselves the honotz of waiting on you, in a day or two, to leaps your determination; but should we he so unfortunate as not to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope you will be kind enough to favour us with your views, to the above address, on or before 12th instant. The,primary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda tion of pauper lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances, in the iforthern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of about 250,000. Yet, *ith the exception of a very few cells attached to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all this whip district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of the litsane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up wards of 700, are left in estate of wretched destitution, either burden some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the corawnity from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in jury, and the terror of the country. To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients. The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will he required to erect the ni cessary buildings, and to tbr..n a thud for the permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable progress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that with 31etrepolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary funds will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen. The rules for the government of the institution will be of course de *ermined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub m3are ufitted to the 'en principles fitted to secur e a lib era l an d e ffi c i ent/ • system of ment, comprehending th e c hi e f of fi c i a l f unt ionaries of the distil' ;Aid giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of control and recommendation.

The successful diplomacy of Sir HENRY Porrisroßa is in itself, its results, and their in fluences, amply sufficient to constitute and found a pre cedent. One of the most remarkable events in modern history has been, undoubtedly, the establishment of commercial and diplomatic relations between China and this country ; and, through this country, with other States and nations possessing European institutions and civilisation. When the trade which has been opened through Sir HEALY POTTINGER'S admirable tact, spirit, and management, between Great Britain and so many points in the Chinese empire, shall have gradually as sumed that method, and organised those relations which it will ere long attain, there can be no doubt that as the demands and acquirements of those Asiatic markets become better ascertained and skilfully provided for, an immense expansion of our trade with China itself, the islands of the Indian Archipelago, and the vast coun tries lying to the east and south of the Bay of Bengal, will speedily take place. There is no greater benefactor to his countrymen than a British functionary who multi plies the resources, and secures the permanency, of their commerce. As a public benefactor in this invalu able and distinguished clais, no man has done more signal service, for ages past, than Sir HENRY. How few have rendered the commonwealth as much I It is unnecessary, however, to elaborate a pro• position which men of all parties and opinions without he sitation concede. The question then arises, what shall be the amount of the acknowledgment wherewith a grateful country shall reward so eminent a public servant ? Sir HENRY POTTINGER appears to have too entirely identified himself with his mission—to have too spiritedly and disinterestedly devoted all his energies and means to the conduct, maintenance, and successful completion of his remarkable negotiations with the Chinese government, to have been likely to derive pecu niary advantages from his position, had its appointments been twice as liberal as they were. Besides, his labours being ended, he is left without any continuing salaiy or payment of any kind. It would seem that he has little or no patrimonial fortune at all to fall back upon. In short we cannot conceive stronger claims upon the public generosity, a more meritorious person, or services more nationally important. Now what is the annuity for this eminent man's life, which the Minister advises the Crown to recommend to Parliament to grant ? Let us premise that Sir HENRY'S protracted residence in China, and his endurance of ex traordinary bodily fatigue, combined with the incessant pressure of severe mental anxiety, have seriously im paired, as we understand, his health—a circumstance not to be overlooked in appreciating the value of the an nuity to be granted—namely, 1,.5001. a year, limited to his own life. This does appear to our apprehension a very inadequate amount of reward. It is obviously no sort of measure of, bears no reasonable proportion to, the services performed. That is an unavoidable incident in these cases which we may regret, but cannot hope to remedy. In the nature of things, national acknowledg ments of this kind can be but testimonial rewards, not equivalents. But we have a perfect right to try the amount of this annuity by that of other testimonial re wards in specific cases. Let us take the analogy of pensions granted for civil and diplomatic services. It is not near so much as some of the pensions we perceive to be en joyed by those who have filled other, but surely not more important embassies. It is only 3001. a-year more than after, we forget how many, or, rather, how few years' service, the holders of civil offices, such as Secre taries to the Treasury, Chancellors of the Exchequer, Paymasters of the Forces, &c., become entitled for life. If we mistake not, Mr. G OULBURN himself, prior to his last taking office, enjoyed a pension of this kind, of between 1,2001. and 1,500/. per annum, and this he will return to on laying down office. Writing still from memory, we believe that a brother of the Pre mier's, no longer in office, is still in the receipt of a civil pension of much the same kind. Can it be gravely meant to put the services of Mr. GOULBURN on a level with those of Sir H. POTTINGER ? If Mr. GOULBURN'S pension be 1,2001., should Sir H. POTTINGER'S on any principle, whether of equivalent or testimonial reward, be but MO/. per year more ? But on the lists of those pensions there are recipienti of equal sums, whose official services can by no means compete with those even of Mr. GOULBURN. Is a man like Sir H. POTTINGER to be classed in the same category as to official pensions with those men ? But let us take another case of mili tary service. The late General Sir JOHN KEANE, one of the luckiest soldiers of fortune, to be sure, who ever secured the good opinion of the most sagacious and most renowned commander of his age, led the first British army which entered the territories north-west of the Indus. It is true that that army was eminently success ful in its operations ; but with a most frightful and im provident sacrifice of human life, of beasts of burden, commissariat stores, &c. There were no positions secured—no facilities established in the event of a re treat ; and the General tarnished his own reputation by something like mean and unworthy jealousy manifested in his conduct towards the lamented and gallant Colonel DEN - Nis, and still more by his un-Britishlike acquies cence in the barbarous and wholesale murders perpe trated in cold blood by our infamous ally SCHAH Soo.wr, on his prisoners in a memorable instance which Mr. HUME vainly endeavoured to bring under the notice and reprobation of the House of Com mons. Sir JoHN, however, obtained the incredible re ward of the honours of the Peerage, and 2,000/. per year for his own and two lives. There is as little com• paiison between any services that were rendered to his cou atry by the military career of the late Lord KEANE and the signal benefits which the diplomatic exertions of Sir HENRI , POTTINGER have secured for it, as there can be between the character, the intellect, and attainments of the mere soldier, ' and the statesman-like capacity and enlightened benevolence of the accomplished diplo matist. Will the Legislature be indeed content to give a less income to Sir HENRY POTTINGER for his own life, than it decreed to Lord KEANE for two lives ? We trust that it will show a better appreciation of pri vate character, personal talents, and public merits. We record in another part of the paper the particu lars of a very interesting scene which lately took place at Bombay, interesting not only on account of the ac complishment of a noble work constructed chiefly for the benefit of the lower classes in that part of India, but for the encouragement, as far as honours can go, it gives to native princes and merchants to improve their country and ally themselves with rulers who, notwithstanding some egregious faults, not to say crimes of their ser vants, have conferrred inestimable blessings on India. The scene, which took place in April last, was at the inauguration of the great causeway constructed for uniting the islands of Bombay and Salsette, and thereby forming a safe and useful communication between the populous towns of Mahim and Ban tra. The whole undertaking was completed at the expense of a private individual, the lady of Sir JAMSETJEE lEJEEBIIOY, well known in this country for his generous deeds and his patriotic spirit, and for which, the SOVEREIGN was pleased to confer on him the honour of knighthood. This causeway, rivalling in many respects a Roman road, cost, with the approaches, the sum of 167,000 rupees, or about 16,8001., and was appropriitely named after its munificent founder—to be a memorial in after ages of the gratitude of the Indian Government, and of the patriotic spirit displayed by the wife of a native merchant of Bombay. The eulogium pronounced by Sir GEORGE ARTHUR, the splendid military ceremony, and the studied honours conferred on these two indivi duals, in presence of a vast population, were all well timed and well-merited. We have intelligence from Lisbon by the Royal Tar steamer to the 9th inst., but it is not of importance. A royal decree had been issued relative to the foreign trade with the island of Madeira. According to that decree the recent dues levied by the Board of Health, on ships touching at Funchal, had been suspended, and the pre vious scale of dues re-established until the Commission appointed to investigate the subject had made their report. The intelligence from Madrid is to the Bth inst. The Government had received dispatches from Malaga, stating that a riot had taken place in that city, in which the provincial regiment of Jaen was implicated, but ac cording to the Castellano the accounts were greatly ex aggerated. The affair originated ,in a petty quarrel be tween some of the inhabitants and this regiment, and was quickly suppressed. The capital remained per fectly tranquil, but the funds continuel to decline to an alarming extent, the Three per Cents., on the 7th, having fallen to 30 for cash. The Espeeticlor had been con demned in a fine of 20,000 reals (2001.) for publishing an article offensive to the Government. The case was decided by the judges without a jury. The QUEEN still remained at Barcelona, where it was understood the greater part of the Ministry would be assembled on the 24th, in order to be present at the celebration of Queen CHRISTINA'S birth-day. Accounts from Bayonne, of the 10th, announce the arrival of Mr. BULWER in that town, on his way to London. CORTINA. FALCON, late Aide-de-camp to ESPARTERO, PRAT SANS, and several superior and subaltern officers of the Carlist party were residing at Bayonne. On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. closed at 30 for cash, and 31 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21i at 60 days; and the Debt without Interest at 6i at 60 days. The articles in the Paris papers relate chiefly to the discussion in the Chamber of Peers on the Jesuits, and the new convention for the suppression of the slave trade. The Jesuits, we are glad to find, receive no countenance from the Government, and the laws acrainst them are to be put in force without delay. No doubt whatever exists that they have been intriguing with the French bishops, and secretly forming plans for the ex tension of their influence, both at Court and in the universities, under the guise of maintaining the Catholic religion in its pristine purity; but the Ministers of LOUIS PHILIPPE wisely reject their aid, and will not allow them to meddle with education. This probably mill excite another philippic from Mr. O'CONNELL against GuizoT and his royal master ; but Mr. O'CoNNELL's abuse finds no echo in France. The French, to their honour, sup port almost unanimously the policy of their SOVEREIGN on this question—they know well what miseries France has suffered from the interference of priests, and would risk another revolution rather than see them again in stalled in the Tuileries, as in the days of CHARLES X., or allowed to corrupt the minds of youth by disseminating their doctrines in the universities. This universal feeling in France contrasts nobly with the bigotry of Mr. O'CoNNELL, who, as in the dark ages, would exalt the priesthood above both sovereign and people. In allusion to the discussion in the Peers, the Journal des Debats thus proclaims the in tentions of the Government :—" The laws shall be executed, and they shall be executed without timidity and without severity. No essential principle shall be violated in the execution of the measures projected against the societies not authorised by law. The So ciety of the Jesuits shall be dissolved, but the Jesuits shall not be persecuted. Their dwellings shall not be violated, the right of property shall be respected, nor shall the citizens be removed from the jurisdiction of their natural judges. The laws shall be executed with out shocking by their execution the mildness and huma nity of our public customs. The laws shall be executed, and the Charter shall not be violated." The remarks of the Opposition journals on the new treaty possess little interest. Attempts are made to show that it is Rot perfect, and still inferior to that con cluded between England and the United States. The following remarks on the late return made to Parliament of the number of steamers in our merchant service ap pear in the Journal des Debats. After stating that the total number amounts to 900, it adds:— " Compare with this the 110 steam-vessels which are em ployed in our commerce, and the effective force of Great Britain will appear considerable in proportion, and much more so if there be added the 65 steamers belonging to the English colonies. Our steam fleet, it is true, yields in nothing, either in number or size of ships, to that of our neighbours, but we must not lose sight of the fact that the steam forces of a nation are not to be measured only by the number of its ships of war. The commercial navy may also be made an instrument of war, and has now become one of the first elements of the power as well as of the prosperity of a nation. Our Government has shown itself convinced of this by applying to it a wider and more efficacious construc tion of the law of 1840 on the trans-Atlantic packets. Austria, in concert with England, is increasing its means of communication in the Mediterranean, between Trieste and the ports of the Levant. We, are in possession of a superiority at this point which it behoves us to maintain at any cost." The Gazette de Berri, a journal published in the south of France, publishes the following farewell address of DOn CARLOS to the Spanish Eation : " Spaniards, my faithful defenders,—Called to the crown of Spain by imprescriptible rights, my sole desire has con stantly been the happiness of my beloved country. That happiness requires to-day my renunciation of those rights in favour of my most beloved eldest son, Charles Louis, Prince of the Asturias. No sacrifice could be painful to me when the welfare of my country was in question. I have most 'heartily subscribed to the act of renunciation in behalf of my son, whom you will recognise as my legitimate successor, and surround with the same affection and fidelity. He will take care, on his side, to recompense according to their merit your loyalty and constancy in supporting the sound principles which alone can save Spain. " In retiring from public life I feel a great satisfaction and consolation in expressing to you my gratitude for the heroic acts with which you astonished the world, and which will ever remain engraved in my heart. " Farewell, my constant aefenders and faithful companions. Pray the Almighty with me to remove the evils which op- press our country, and give us more tranquil and happier days. " Your affectionate and grateful King, " Bourges, the 18th of May, 1845." " CARLOS. The Presse says:— "Don Carlos, it is well known, has numerous creditors. The act of abdication made at Bourges appears to have thrown them into great anxiety. Who is to pay, they in quire, all the debts he :has contracted, and the obligations of all kinds which bind him, or which he has authorised? The manifesto of the son says nothing about, and does not even allude to, the debts of the father." The Moniteur contains a royal ordonnance, dated June 10, which orders that foreign machinery be im ported only at the following places:—Dunkirk, Lille, Valenciennes, Forbach, Sierck, Strasbourg, St. Louis, Les Ver►ieres, Bellegarde, Toulon, Marseilles, Cette, Bordeaux, Rochefort, Nantes, Lorient, Brest, Cher bourg, Honfleur, Rouen, Havre, Abbeville, Boulogne, and Calais.

William Hunter, Esq., Ald!rtnan, 1 Sheriffs of London Thomas Sidney, Esq. Alderman, and Middlesex. TRUSTEES. William Thompson, Esq., Alderman, M.P. Edward Archer Wild, Esq. John Johnson, Esq., Alderman. John Kinnersley Hooper, Esq., Alderman. TREASURER.—John Johnson, sq , Alderman. The Sheriffs respectfully submit the following statement of the objects and uses of the Sheriff's Fund to the benevolent considera tion of the public. The Fund was established in the year 1808, dur ing the Shrievalty of the late Alderman Christopher Smith and Sir Richard Phillips, and has for its object :- 1. The temporary relief of the distressed families and dependents of persons in confinement. 2. A temporary provision for persons who, on being discharged from confinement, have no means of present subsistence or habita tion. 3. The purchase of such tools, implements, and materials as may be conducive to habits of industry in debtors and criminals. 4. The pecuniary aid of other objects of distress who come under the official cognizance of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex. 5, The establishment of an asylum for the reception of offenders on their discharge from prison, where those who are willing, to reform have a home and shelter afforded to them, with suitable instruction and employment, until they can be restored to their friends, or other wise provided for. Each successive year has added Its testimony to the poweribl claims it possesses to the cordial and active support of the charitable and the humane. The important benefits it confers in alleviating the mass of human misery and wretchedness which is daily brought under the official notice of the Sheriffs, and in preventing the increase of crime, need only to be more generally known to ensure for it a warmer interest in the minds of the benevolent, and more extensive means of use fulness. Since the establishment of the Central Criminal Court, the neces sity of this fund has been more urgently felt; criminals are now brought for trial to Newgate, not only from all parts of London and 3liddiesex, but also from the crowded and populous parts of Essex, Kent, and Surrey, adjoining to the metropolis. The prisoners in Newgate, in Giltspur-street, and in Whitecross•street, Prisons, are all under the care of the Sheriffs ; and in Newgate alone there were confined upwards of 3,000 persons during the past year. It would be impossible to recount all the claims made upon them. so numerous are they, and so varied in character. Some appeal to their commiseration, having been unjustly charged or committed u?on evidence which has not satisfied the grand jury that there was case enough to send them to trial, and have conse quently ignored the bills presented against them; others for slight offences have had a short imprisonment awarded to them, but it has nevertheless been long enough to alienate friends, and to deprive the offender of the shelter of a home ; others have only wanted a few shillings to enable them to return to their relatives in the country, or to purchase tools or implements of their Vide, or a few articles of decent attire, in order to obtain employment on their liberation, which they would otherwise have been unable to procure, had it not been for the bounty of the Sheriffs. The frequency of these claims renders it impos-ible for the Sheriffs themselves to bear them en tirely, and they therefore call upon the public, whose almoners they will gladly be, to assist them in this work of benevolence. And the Sheriffs beg especially to call the attention of the public to the Permanent Fund of this Society; to impress the necessi•y of establishing an Asylum for the shelter and reformation of hopeful cases of female offenders. A House of Mercy it might be well called, where the penitent and youthful offender might find a shelter and a home. It is only by the operation of an asylum that there is any probability of checking the career of crime once entered upon. As soon as a young female enters the walls of a prison her doom too often sealed—her character is blasted—she is deprived of that which alone can enable her to earn an honest livelihood—spurned by her friends, or perhaps ashamed to let them know of her disgrace, where can she turn ? And it is well known to many that there are characters of the worst description constantly prowling about the walls of a prison, awaiting the discharge of hapless girls so circum stanced, only to entice them to the commission of fresh crime, or to allure them to a life of degradation and misery, by offering them that shelter and sympathy which is denied them by the rest of the world. In such an establishment the sincerity of the apparently pe nitent offender might be tested ; many might be restored to their friends ; and others, by proper instruction and after due probation, might be fitted for future usefulness, and become respectable mem bers of society.

THREATENED ASSASSINATION.—It appears that a weigher, from information given to an inspector-general that the former had entered into fraudulent collusion with parties, had been officially degraded, or put back from superior to inferior duties, and ultimately placed under suspension, by reason of his mal practices. Being of a vindictive spirit, it would seem that he openly protested that he would shoot one or two of the heads of the Customs department, his fancied oppressors. This coming to the knowledge of the inspector.general (the principal object, it is said, of the man's deadly hatred), and from his known determined spirit, steps were taken to have him held to bail to keep the peace; and at the same time he was superseded by the Board of Customs. Thus the matter stands at present. It does not appear that any gross delinquency was absolutely proved against the weigher, for at the time he held out his threat of assassination his case was under investigation.

CONTINUATION to MOIRA, on the ULSTER LINE, The local support the Great County Down Railway has been guaranteed, and the favour it has been already received with in England, induce the promoters to perfect the comprehensiveness of their project, by taking means to extend their line directly through BANBRIDGE, the seat of the linen manufactare, by way of MOIRA, where it will fall in on the Ulster line, and thus secure the important market of BELFAST on the north, while to Banbridge will also be opened the port of WARRENPOINT, by way of NEWSY on the south, which will be reached by a lino almost pa rallel with the existing mail-coach road.

By the last accounts from Pennsylvania, we find that as respects the State Debt, the Treasury exhibits rather an im proved aspect-but as r egar d s f ore i gn c l a i ms , we f ear it will be some time before their wants are fully attended to. Still however, any movement in the right direction must be considered as satisfactory. The following is a quotation from the New York Herald upon the subject, and which must be of interest to the holders of bonds and shares in this country. dollars. "Balance in Treasury, August 1, 1844 566,596 Appropriation for payment of interest due in August 1845. Deficiency for which checks are to be issued "This is a very reasonable estimate of the condition of the State Treasury on the Ist August, 1844, and shows that more than 300,000 dollars of the interest must be paid in checks, to be redeemed with the first moneys received in the Treasury, in the order in which they are presented. This is a much more favourable statement than we have heretofore considered it possible to make, and gives us reason to believe that the credit of Pennsylvania will be redeemed much sooner than we anticipated. Before the February instalment of the interest on the State Debt was paid, laws were passed by the Legislature, then in session, providing additional sources of revenue. These laws were not to be realised until after the Ist of August, before which time another similar annual dividend became due. At that time it was within the knowledge of the Go vernment that if the Treasury was drained to pay the inter est then due, the Treasury would not be in receipt of the funds on the Ist August to pay the interest then due. The treasurer of the State of Pennsylvania is making efforts ' to raise funds to meet the semi-annual interest on the public debt, due on the Ist of August.' He has issued a circular to all the counties of the commonwealth urging the Commissioners to a vigorous course of collection. He calls particular attention to the Act of April 5, 1844, and says : A compliance with the provisions of the Act referred to will save to your country five per cent. of your taxes, and you will have the satisfaction of aiding the commonwealth at this important crisis. In order to secure so desirable re sult, so far as my right extends, I will give the Act a con struction as liberal and beneficial as it will permit.'

CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY. The arrivals of Wheat of home produce from our markets during the past week have been on a very extensive scale. Fresh up only a moderate quantity of Wheat came to hand from Essex and Kent, but that from Lincolnshire was rather extensive. The show of samples being large, the weather favourable for the growing crops, - and the attendance of buyers by no means numerous, the demand for all descrip tions of English Wheat was in a very sluggish state. How ever, the finest qualities of both died and White mostly found buyers at last week's quotations ; but all other kinds were disposed of at a reduction of is per quarter. From all parts most flattering accounts have again reached us relative to the grain crops. For the best Foreign Wheat, free of duty, the sale was tolerably steady, at late rates ; but all other qualities were a mere drug, at almost nominal currencies. In Corn under lock we heard of very few sales. The show of Barley, both English and Foreign, was small. Grinding parcels sold at extreme currencies ; but malting and distilling were very dull, though not cheaper. In Malt, the supply of which was moderately good, a fair amount of business was dcing at late rates. The supply of Oats being very small, that article was firm, at fully late rates. The same observation may be applied to Beans and Peas. In Flour very little was doing.

To conclude with THE MILLINER'S HOLIDAY. t LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 16, 1845. Her MAJESTY'S Message to the two Houses of Par liament, inviting them to aid her in making adequate provision for Sir HENRY POTTINGER, must be regarded as a mark of special and very distinguished royal ap probation. In that point of view, we heartily congra tulete Sir HENRY on the distinction that will attend the grant of his well-earned pension. But because the case is one of so very special a nature, we are anxious that due consideration should previously be given to the quantum of the annuity which the Minister will propose. We meet all difficulties that may be predicted about sivarTurxmLn. In the port of London theimports of live stock from abroad during the past week have been again extensive-- viz., 180 oxen and cows, 3 calves, 3 sheep, and 4 lambs per the Giraffe, Batavia, and Ocean steamers from Rotterdam, together with 26 sheep, per the Caledonia, from Hamburgh. At Hull, upwards of 200 beasts have been received from Ilol land, in excellent condition. We had on sale this morning 97 Dutch oxen and cows, the quality of which, though good, was not quite equal to that of some previous importations; hence they commanded much less attention than those exhi bited on Monday last. Yet nearly th e whole found buyers, at prices varying from 161 to 211 per head. The high prices obtained for Beef on this day se'nnight, to gether with theprevailing warm weather, caused the butchers, notwithstanding the Bullock supply was comp ara ti ve l y small, to be very cautious in their operati ons t o -d ay; hence we have to report a dull inquiry for Beef, at a decline on last Mondays quotations of from 4d to 6d per Blbs—the very highest figure not exceeding 4 s 4d per 81bs, and at which e arrivalsffiealty was experienced i n e ff ect i ng a clearance. of Scotch mea t up to N ewgate The great l a r difficulty and Leadenhall markets operated to some extent upon Otlr trade to-day.

For the time of year the number of sheep on offer were small, they falling short of an average by 11 P: wards of nine thousand.
