METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
We have a shorter supply of beasts, and a cheerful
trade ; consequently, prices have recovered from the depres-
sion experienced on Thursday. Choice kinds are quickly
disposed of ; but there are still some inferior left unsold.
The number of sheep is also smaller, but the demand for
them is very limited. On the average prices sni scarcely
as good as on Monday last. The trade for calves remains
unaltered. From Germany, France, and Spain there are
1,120 beasts, 7,030 sheep,l6o calves, and' 50 pigs. Scotland,
70 beasts; Ireland, 4-i0; and 2,580 from the northern and
midland counties.

We understand that, in consequence of the
alteration in the arrangements for the Bishop of London's
visitation, the motion of the Rev. Dr. Biter relative to
the publication of tracts by the Society for Promoting
Christian Knowledge, which had been postponed to
January the let, will be proposed at the meeting, Tuesday,
December 4, the day for which the motion was originally
given. The motion as to Bibles and Prayer-books being
supplied to workhouses likewise stands for discussion.—
John Bull.

tage Horticultural Society, of which the Prince and

their last show—in aid of the eleven lifeboat stations of

ACCIDENT IN FIRING A ROYAL SALCTE.—We
regret to say that a sad accident occurred on Friday at
Wolverhampton to one of the workmen employed in firing
a royal salute in honour of her Majesty's visit to that town
to inaugurate the statue to the late Prince Consort. The
poor fellow was acting as gunner, and was in the act of
ramming down a charge of powder into the Cannon when
the powder exploded, and completely blew off his right
hand, at the same time knocking bin, down. He imme-
diately jumped up again, and was about to proceed with
his work when be first discovered his loss. He was taken
to the hospital, and when last heard of was going on
favourably. This is the only serious accident that has
been reported as wmeguent nLon the royal visit.
