THE PROPOSED Maw CATTLE MARKET FOR THE
Mwritoronlis.—Yesterday afternoon a deputation from
the corporation of London, consisting of Mr. T. Rudkin,
the chairman of the markets committee, and MeseraWeb-
ber, Straker, Warwick, Game, and Davis, members of the
committee, who were accompanied by Mr. Brand, the
comptroller, and Mr. Corrie, the remembrancer, had an in-
terview at the Privy Council-office with the Lord Presi-
dent, the Duke of Richmond, and Lord John Mennen,
M.P., in reference to the bill proposed to be introducisd
into remit/meat during the present session for the erection
of an additional market in the metropols for the special
purpose of slaughtering and disposing of foreign
cattle. This is a question of very great impor-
tance to the corporation, and if the proposition of
the government is earned out it ia calculated
to materially affect their revenue. The public is aware that
the corporation of London erected the market at Copen-
' lagen-fields upon the abolition of the ancient market in
Smithfield, at a very heavy cost, and it has ever singe
been a losing concern, the expenses having been, ever
since the market has been constituted, many tho.uand
pounds per annum in excess of the receipts. The effect of
the proposed bill will be, if carried out, to remove one-
third of the trade from the market at Gopenhagen.fields
to the now market, and thus a very conaiderable addl.
tional loss will be thrown upon the corporation. Pre-
viously to the notice having been given the markets com-
mittee had made arrangemente, under the authority of
the Court of Common Council, for erecting a number of
additional slaughter-houses at their market, which were
intended to be principally devoted to the purposes of the
foreign cattle trade, but unless some arrangement is
made with the government that will induce them to
abandon their project of erecting another market in the
metropolis, thisplea will, of course, not be carried out. There
appears to be another important consideration involved
in the matter, which is that by ancient charter the Cor-
poration of London have the sole right of control over a
market of this description; and if the bill proposed by the
government should be carried, their privileges in this re-
spect will be entirely abrogated. Mr. Rudkin, and one or
two other members of the committee, addressed the Lord
President upon the subject, but the proceedings were
very brief, and in the result his lordship promised to con-
sider the arguments that h.d been brought forward in
support of the proposition for the continuance of the
present market, and it was arranged that further commu-
nications should be had with the government upon the
subject.
the Dublin Court of Probate, on Thursday,
a case of considerable interest was commenced before
Judge Keating. and • special jury. It was • suit to
estlish the will of the lute Mr. John Walsh, of Barnet-
street, in that city. By the will, which was propounded
by the Rev. Mr. Brock, the Roman catholic priest of St.
Paul's, and Mr. Dunn, grocer, of Arran-quay, as executors.
large bequests were given to Roman catholic charities and
schools. The property was valued at 9,000/. The will
was impeached by Mr. Here and his wife, a niece of the
testator, on the grounds of illegal execution, unsound
mind, and undue isduence.
ACCIDENT TO THE GREAT NORTHERN EXPREMI
PRON LONTioN.—The express train leaving London at 5.25
on Thursday evening, on arriving at Peterborough. ran
into and did considerable damage to an engine and tender
which were crossing the points. The passengers were
, severely shaken, but there was no one seriously injured,
I the guard of the train being apparently the chief sufferer.
The collision caused great delay, and the express did not
reach Leeds until five minutes to 12, or nearly two hours
late. AB the passengers were able to walk home the
guard, however, had to be assisted by some of the porters
about the station.—Lrecis Mercury.
