MARKET.-THIS DAY.

The supply of Beasts is shorter, and the weather very
favouralde for slaughtering, consequently prices are
better on the average ; still, however, it is dif-
ficult to quote higher for inferior qualities. The
number of Sheep is also smaller, and late rates are
fully maintained; indeed, some of the choicest kinds
are rather dearer. The number of Calves is quite
equal to the demand, and trade generally is no better.
From Germany and Holland there are 1,613 Beasts, 5,060
Sheep, and 247 Calves ; Scotland, 150 Beasts ; Ireland, 170;
Norfolk and Suffolk, 120 ; and 2,100 from the Northern and
Midland Counties.

EXETER, SALISBURY, AND YEOVIL RAILWAY.—A
meeting was held in Yeovil, on Friday, in accordance with
a requisition that had received 800 signatures, to take into
consideration the desirability of enforcing on the South
Western directors the expediency of at once forming the cen-
tral line of railway, via Salisbury to Exeter, the advocacy
of which was the object of a meeting at Houiton, reported
in Saturday's Express. The meeting was presided over by
Sir W. Medlyeott, and was attended by Mr. Locke, M.P.,
and Captain Moorsom, Sir J. Kennaway, about a dozen
county magistrates, and a most influential body of mer-
chanta, manufacturers, and agriculturists, numbering in the
whole about nine hundred persons. The meeting w.is ad-
dressed at great length in support of the central line by
the Rev. H. F. Yeatman, Mr. (.1. Harbin, Mr. Locke, and
other gentlemen. Mr. Locke stated that negotiations were
now pending with the London and South Western direc-
tors for the making of the direct line that they had been
offered a guarantee of 3 per cent. upon the money
which they might expend in forming the line, the estimates
of which had been reduced from 2,600,0001. to 1,100,0001.,
by proposing to make only a single line. This guarantee
had been offered by Mr. Pet*, Mr. liens, and Mr. Brassey,
but the directors had declined it on the ground that they
could not find so large a capital. It was, therefore, new
propoeed that the South Western should Had one half the
capital, and a company connected with him (Mr. Locke)
the other, on condition that the South Western gave the
company a portion of the profits which the central line
would bring to the old line. The directors admitted the
principle, but the exact quota of the profits to be returned
had not been determined on. This was the state of negoti-
ations at the present time. Captain Moorsom addressed
the meeting, denying that his project of a coast line was in-
tended as a rival scheme. The resolutions in favour of the
ceatral Uwe were carried by inclamation, and a committee,
headed by Lords Westminster, Arundel, Rivers, Ashburton,
and Bridport, was appointed to conduct the necessary nego-
tiations.
A TERRIBLE SENSATION has been created by a
girl named Adelaide Swerte, in the quiety valley of Cha-
monni, in Switzerland. Her lover, an apothecary, of the
name of Carib, bad allowed her access to his drug closet. In
