BROMSGROVE.

LOCAL BOARD.—The usual monthly meeting was held
on Weduesdsy night last, Mr Walter Brooke in the
chain—Dr. Wood, High Bailiff, made the usual declara-
tion upon taking his seat as a new member.—The
financial statement showed a balance due to the treasurer
on Commissioners' account of £l4l 8s 8 I.—Tbe ques-
tions of draining Sidemoor and providing an hospital
for infectious diseases were adj ,urned until a special
meeting on Friday next.—Dr. Carey (aledical Officer)
reported that 12 deaths had been registered during the
past mouth, and 5.2 births. The death-rate was 20 6
and the birth-rate 511 per thousand. Four deaths were
due to scarlet fever, which was very prevalent at Side-
moor, but was abating in the town. He recommended
that the paper should be removed and the walls scraped
in infected houses.—A. letter was read from the Clerk to
the Guardians upon the increase of scarlet fever, and
its consideration was postponed until Friday next.—
A communication was received from the Board of Trade
enclosing the report of Colonel Ritchie upon the accom-
modation at the railway station. The report approved
of the footbridge across the line and of the alterations to
the platform on the down side, but went on to say it
would have been better if it had been still further
raised and placed nearer the carriages. Nothing could
be worse than the up platform, which was particularly
dangerous. There was no reason why the platform
should not at once be raised without interfering with
the present buildings.—A general district rate at 10.1 in
the pound was ordered, and a highway rate at is in the
pound was signed.

THE MARKETS,

MRK-LANE.-MONDAY.

The grain trade at Mark-lane has been very dull in tone,
owing to the pacific construction placed upon political
advices. English wheat was in short supply, scarcely any-
thing was done, and prices may be quoted is. lower on the
week. Foreign wheat was in fair supply. Transactions
were of an unimportant character, and prices may be
nominally quoted is. lower on the week. Barley was in
moderate demand. Business was almost suspended, and
quotations remained weak. Malt was dull on former terms.
Oats, of which a fair supply was in the stands, were in slow
request, and 6d. lower on the week. Maize, with a dull
trade, relapsed quite 6d. per quarter. Beans and peas were
quiet and unaltered. The flour market Ras very dull, and
prices were drooping.

MARK-LANE.-WEDNESDAY.

Business at Mark-lane has been very quiet owing to the
Epsom races. There was a thin attendance. English
wheat was sparingly offered, but foreign was in fair sup-
ply. Transactions were on a limited scale at about late
rates. Barley, of which a moderate supply was on offer,
met a quiet sue at previous prices. Malt was dull and un-
altered. Oats and maize commanded very little attention,
and continued weak in value. Beaus and peas were quiet
and unchanged. The flour market was still dull.

FIAGLEY STOCK SALE AND SEIOW OF WHITSUNTIDE
BEEF.—This sale and show was held on Monday. It
was the largest held during the present year. There
were 140 pens of sheep and lambs, and a large entry of
pigs, calves, and cattle, the sale in the aggregate
amounting to £3,000, The show of beef was excellent,
some u7ittAnally grand beasts having been reserved
specially for the occasion. Both prizes were taken by
It. Woodward, Esq., of Arley Castle, by animals realizing
respectively £l5 and £4O. Mr. John Harris, of Mr-
mingbam, took the purchaser's prize for the best beast.
Great interest was evinced in this show and sale by one
of the largest attendances ever yet seen at the Bagley

every class of stock.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MAKRET.-MONDAY.

A dull tone pervaded the cattle trade to-day. Supplies
were larger, and in excess of the demand, which ruled heavy,
causing quotations to give way. The receipts fr In our own
districts were not extensive, but the quality and condition
were on the whole satisfactory. Business plogressed very
quietly, and the prices paid were about 4d. per 81b, below
those obtained on Monday last. The best Scots and crosses
changed hands at is. 10d. to es. per 81b. In inferior qualities
the fall was much more severe. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire we received about I,49o;troin other parts
of England about 150, and from Scotland 53 head. • The supply
of foreign beasts was moderately liberal. Over 600 American
were offered,besides a good sprinkling of Spanish and Danish.
There was a dull demand, at decidedly reduced rates. In the
sheep pens was a rather larger supply. The market was de-
cidedly flat, and less money had to I,e taken for all kinds. Occa-
sionally the best Downs and half breds made 6s. 4d., but
this was an exceptional cfuotation, 6s. 24. per 81b. being the
general top price. Lambs were very flit and lower, at
7s. 64. to Sc. per 81b. Calves were dull and weak. Pigs
sold at drooping prices. At Deptford there were about 90
beasts and 7,000 sheep and lambs. Coarse and inferior

THE EARTHOTJAKE IN VENEZUELA.

The earthquake which destroyed the town of Cua,
in Venezuela, on the 14th of April also destroyed a
large number of human lives. According to details
brought by the steamship Hadji, which arrived at
Havannah on the 19th of last month 300 inhabitants
of the ill-fated town, at the lowest estimate, were
buried beneath its ruins. Cua is, or rather was,
situated in the rich valley of the Tuy, about thirty
miles from Caracas, and was surrounded by rich sugar
and coffee plantations. At a little before nine in the
evening, without any warning, all the houses fell at
once. The great church, the pride of the region, was
seen to lift itself into the air and then fell with a
tremendous crash. A fire kindled among the ruins
completed the wreck of the town, and consumed many
of the crushed and mangled bodies. In some
families as many as ten lives were lost. The
shock wag felt at Caracas, where aU the church bells
were suddenly rung, and where many buildings suf-
fered to some extent, but where, happily, no lives
were lost. The streets were filled with frightened
people, shrieking "Misericordia," and calling on the
saints for help. The shocks were repeated from time
to time, and continued up to the 3rd of May, when
the steamer sailed. Thousands of people had left the
pity to seek safety in the country, and those who
remained slept in gardens or public squares. The
President and his family occupied a tent in Plaza
Bolivar. In other parts of Venezuela shocks were felt
with more or less distinctness, and a week after the
first earthquake a part of the town of Ocumare, twenty
miles from Cua, was thrown down. The destruction
of sugar-mills and other property has been immense.—

A BULL AND LION FIGHT.

The New York Times says :—ln one of the frontier
townsiof Texas near the Mexican border the regular
Sunday afternoon bull fights have latterly been varied
by combats between a lion and a bulL There were
two of these fights, and they attracted spectators from
all the surrounding country. When it was first an-
nounced that a real lion, said to be of an unusually
fierce disposition, would be pitted against a bull, the
sympathies and money of the local public were very
largely on the side of the lion. It was believed that
he would kill his adversary before the latter would
have time to begin to make up his mind to fight, and
as the day of the battle drew near, the betting was
seven to two against the bull. . The result of the fight
was a great surprise. The lion, after a• brief combat,
in which the advantage was decidedly with the bull,
slunk back to his cagq, and his seconds threw up the
sponge. At least 18,000 dols, changed hands in conse-
quence of the lion's defeat.

THE E URYDICE.

An inquest was held at Haslar Hospital, on
Saturday, on the body of Frank Pittman, the pay-
master of the Eurydice, which had been picked up
on the previous day. The foreman of labourers at
the hospital stated that the body had been brought up
from the main deck of the ship, where it was found
with its face downwards and entangled in a rope. It
was only possible to recognize it by the name marked
on the flannel drawers, and by the distinctive velvet
and lace on the coat-sleeve. In the pockets were found
a silver fusee case, some cigarette papers, and a gold
watch, which had stopped at 328. Benjamin Cudde-
ford said that he saw Pittman on board between three
and four on the day of the wreck, and that he was then
in uniform. The deceased has left a wife and three
children. The inquest was adjourned until the 12th
of June. In the evenine the body was buried in the
Naval Cemetery with the usual honours.
Late on Saturday evening the body of Henry
Gowler, 38, a colour-sergeant belonging to the Royal
Marine Light Infantry, was broright to Haslar Hoe.
pital, where an inquest was held on Monday. He
was a widower without childi•en. He was identified
by the name on the waistband of his trousers. In his
pockets were found various sums of money, some shirt
studs, and a notebook in which was a letter signed
"H. Gowler," which his brother, William Gowler, of
Bennington, Essex, recognized as the handwriting of
the deceased. The inquest stands adjourned until
the gneral inquest on the 12th inst. The other body
which was recovered was that of Lieutenant Sydney
Randolph, on which, as it was landed in the Isle of
Wight, no inquest was deemed to be necessary. The
two bodies were in the afternoon placed on the same
gun-carriage and covered with the same flags, and in
this order were taken to Haslar Cemetery and buried
with naval and musical honours.
