METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Frami

THURSDAY, JAN. 12.—Although the supply of beasts
on sale to-day was only noslerate, the demand for all
breeds ruled inactive, at M lay's decline in the quo-
tations. The show of sheep was rAlier on the ineresse.
The primed Downs and half-bre-4 supported previous
rates ; but long.w‘sils were dull, and, in smile instances

moderate supply. changed hands slowly, and the
currencies had a drooping tendency. The top quotation

terms. In mulch cows, very little was doing.

principles" which it iays down.
The Marian!, Post of Frithiy announces the
existence of " a virtual alliance between the
Govennuents of France and England to recog-
nise and protect the newly-acquired independ-

once of Northern and Central Italy ;" adding,
that " this virtual alliance is the creation of no
special treaty, nor was any special treaty re-
quired to define its ends, or determine and agree

upon its means." It is also stated in the
latest news from Paria that a treaty of com-
merce on the broad basis of mutual advantage
has been concluded between France and England;
and that the Congress will probably assemble on
the 15th of February.
The Prussian Chambers were opened on Thurs-
day by the Prince Regent. The Royal speech
declared that Prussia is willing to take part in
the Congress on the affairs of Italy, and that
with regard to a reform of the Federal Constitu-
tion, she will always consider herself the natural
representative of the effort for increasing the
strength of the nation, and efficaciously promot-
ing (ern interests in general. It concluded
by saying that it is not the intention of the
Government to violate the bequest of a great
period, and "the Prussian army will, in future,
be also the Prussian people in arms."
On Monday, the 9th January, arrived the
mails from the United States. The President's
Message was delivered on December 27. The
President says that the outbreak at Harper's
Ferry, by causing people to reflect, will prevent
_ _ _ _ _

future mischief of that kind. He congratulates

the House upon the final settlement by the
Supreme Court of the United States of the
question of Slavery ; the slaves, like all other
property, are to be protected under the federal

constitution, but the
_shire-trade is to be rigor-

ously suppressed. The American Governn-ient

is friendly with the great empires of Russia

•
and France ; indeed, with all powers but Spain.
With regard to the dispute at San Juan, the

precautionary arrangements of General Scott

have been succeasfulli carried out, and there is no

doubt of a peaceful issue. The message recoan.

mends the employment of a military force in
Mexico to obtain indemnity for the put and
security for the future. Later news arrived on
Tuesday, Jan. 10. On the 29th Dec. a great
fire occurred in Beekman-street, Yew York,
destroying property to the value of a million of
dollars. The same day was telegraphed the
account of a negro insurrection at Bolivar, in
Missouri, which had been suppressed. The
burning of the town and murder of the whites is
said to have been plotted.

DORCHESTER PITCHED CORN MARKET, Saturday.—
Our market was moderately supplied with all kinds
of grain, the greater part of which was out of condi-
tion; the trade was slow at barely last week's prices.
LORD POLTIMoReS HOUNDS. THE OPENING
OA Y. —We are enabled to state that Lord Poltimore's
hounds are to be in their temporary kennel, just
built at Cattistock, on Saturday next, the 21st, and
that the opening meet will be at Frampton Court, on
Tuesday, the 24th, when we have reason to believe
that Mr. Sheridan will be happy to see any of his
friends or gentlemen of the hunt at breakfast. All
who are acquainted with the kind and generous dis-
position of the hospitable 'Squire of Frampton will
know that the introduction of Lord Poltimore, as a
master of hounds, to the sportsmen of Dorset will be
fitly celebrated by a magnificent "spread ;" while, as
to the welcome which on all sides awaits his Lordship,
there can be no doubt that it will be one every way
worthy of the noblest spirit and best feelings of some
of the best sportsmen in the country.
From the annual abstract of the accounts of the
Borough Treasurer, we learn that the balance in his
hands on the general account was .C2s2 12s. 11,1., on
the watch-rate £66 ss. lid., and on the Townhall
building account £3O 12s. la. That the produce
of the markets had been 4:144, and of the fairs £36.
The chief dishurament had been—rates, taxes, and
insurance, £l5O Cis. Diii ; repairs, 4:4).5 14s. 10d. ;
salaries, £93 is. ; printing, stationery, and advertis-
ing, £34 4s. 4d. ; surveyor's bill for Worilaston field
estate. £24 35., and costs of appeal, Smith r. the
Borough Justices, XII 10a Sd. The proceeds of the
watch rate made for the four parishes anwinnted to

On the 20th ult., the Rev. William Thomas Cur-
phey, Clerk, was instituted by the Right Rev. the
. Lord Bishop of Sarum to the Vicarage of Loders,
Dorset, on the presentation of Wilhiam Curphey,
Esq., of Douglas, in the Isle of Man.
QUEEN'S OWN YEOMANRY CAVALRY.—The Dor-
chester troop on Saturday week commenced a course
of weekly training in the riding school at the bar-
racks, which has been kindly placed at their dis-
posal tor the purpose. Captain Floyer and Lieuten-
ant Williams were present, and the members were
put through their drill by Adjutant Grittis. The
men were provided with the new breech-loading
rifled carbines, and the efficiency of the corps will,
much to their own *gratification, be greatly promoted
, by the adoption of this improved arm.
