Ztt (tattle Rtarkt,

At the Liverpool Cattle Market to-day the
supply of Beasts was very large, there being
3,149 offered for sale. Of Sheep the number
brought forward was about the same as last week,
6,545 having been at market. There was a
good demand for prime stock, at full prices, but
middling was difficult of sale. Beef sold at 41d
to 61d, and Mutton at 6d to 8d per lb. The
Christmas market will be held on Monday, the
17th December.

gaits of freigbt.
The extreme dulness in the Freights for the
East continues. and it is difficult to realise our
quotations, as tonnage is daily becoming more
plentiful, and rates likely to fall in consequence,
as there is but a very small demand for ships for
India and China. Homeward business is quite
nominal, pending the news from China. Bra!ilian
and West India Freights are inacthe at our
quotations, and large ships are objected to except
at reduced rates. The Australian trade is better,
but the regular traders are still equal to the
requirements of trade. Freights to United States
ports are without quotable change from last week.

Tn RETURN_ OF THE PRINCE

OF WALES.

" Altogether, what with wind, hail, and rain, it was not an
encouraging cruise, especially as fresh provisiods *ere °kit,
even. to the vegetables, and there wai nothing to eat but the
saltest of salt ship's stores."—Vide Times, Nov. 16.

Our fears art at an end, the Prince of Wales
Is safely landed on his native shore
Though hail and rain and constant eastern gales
Have rendered tedious his passage o'er.
Most travellers by sea confess that though
When starting on their voyage all are gay,
But very soon they find things somewhat slow,
And strive in vain to kill each dreary day.
'Tis a hard task whenin a swift " Cunarder," -
But in a line-of-battle ship still harder.
The mighty vessel pitches, Jumps, and rolls,
Day after day, and chiefly under sail ;
For such ship carries but small stock of coals,
And so her screw is not of much avail.
The only happy time in such a case
.Is when each weary passenger within her
Around the cabin table takes his place,
And soothes his spirits with a first-rate dinner.
Those iri the "Hero" found but small relief
In dinners off sea biscuit and salt beef.

The Prince bore his privations like a man,
And never nneo was heard to find a fault;
Though, as the Times' long description rau,
The food was all " the saltest of the salt."
Yet still, we are informed, on one occasion,
When all at breakfast time assembled were,
His Royal Highness made an observation
Which raised a sigh from every bosom there;
" On this dry biscuit," he was heard to mutter,
" Oh, that we had a slice of KELLY'S BUTTER."

NEWS OF THE DAY.

A telegram has been received at the Foreign Office,
confirmatory of the intelligence from China which Ice
published yesterday. The Allies were within six or
eight miles of Pekin, at the date of the last accounts.
This city is by no means a strong place, considered with
reference to the means in the possession of the allied
forces for its attack. When Lord Macartney was there,
the walls were from twenty-five to thirty feet in height.
There were square bastions about every seventy yards,
and the walls were constructed of brick and stone,
enclosing a rampart of earth. If the defences have not
been greatly strengthened and improved, which is far
from likely to be the case, they cannot be regarded as
serious obstacles to the entrance of the place by the Allies.
We are reminded that the greatest enemy of the
invaders is time. In the winter the temperature is
rarely above eight degrees below freezing point. The
canals and rivers are covered with ice, and the gulf of
Pechili is proverbial for its storms. These facts are the
main cause of the exertions of the Chinese to retard the
conclusion of the negotiations; but as they are also well
known to the allied plenipotentiaries, it is to be hoped
the latter were resolved to have everything definitively
settled before the beginning of the present month, and
that the Chinese, having the inevitable prospect of an
enemy in their capital before Vick eyes, have been
forced to accept our conditions.
The Herald alluding to the news from China, is
inclined to blame the inconsiderate recklessness of non-
combatants, which might jeopardise the issue of this
great military expedition. The facts are, however, only
imperfectly known at present. The Times says, with
reference to the prisoners, that as the Chinese, defeated
in a great battle and with the allied armyonlyeight
miles from Pekin, were desirous of peace, and had sent
in a flag of truce, it is almost certain that they must
have been speedily released ; and it adds, "Mr. Parkes,
indeed, is so necessary to Lord Elgin that we may pre-
sume not a moment's delay would be tolerated in his
case, and if he returns all must return. We trust that a
future mail will bring us not only the news of their
release, but a full account of their entry into Pekin from
the able pen which is employed in recording the pro-
gress of this war. The public is indeed served at the
peril of life and limb not only by those in official station,
but by the zealous emissaries of the press. In addition
to fatigue and sickness it is no small matter to be ex-
posed to such contingencies as capture by such an enemy
as the Chinese." _

There is still an absence of any information of the
illness of Francis 11. On the contrary, some resent

accounts represent both himself and his young Queen to
be in the enjoyment of excellent health, and incessantly
engaged in visiting the works of the fortress. It would
also appear that the siege operations at Gaeta had been
suspended for a few days ; they were, however, to be
resumed on Sunday, which latter circumstance probably
explains the fact of the departure of the diplomatic
corps for Rome. The King has, it is said, announced
to the commanders of the foreign ships that it is his
