METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
We have a shorter supply of beasts, but trade is so
veay dull that it exceeds the demand. Prices are lower,
and a clearance cannot be effected. The number of sheep
is nearly as Large as last week, and the demand has de-
creased, consequently prices are lower. Several lots re-
main unsold. Calves also are lower. Our foreign sup-
ply consists of 3,120 beasts, 0,470 sheep, 110 calves, and
is) pigs. From Ireland there are 550 beasts and 2,170 from
the northern and midland counties.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—(THIB DAY.)
Masers. Pattenden and Smith report that the trade
since Worcester fair has been quiet, and prices very un-
settled ; still, growers do not force sales, as the yield
comes down extremely short.

A choral festival took place at Powerstock,
in Dorsetshire, a few days since. Seven parish choirs,
numbering 80 musicians, took part in the festival.

. .
Last week a splendid osprey, a bird of the eagle
tribe, was shot at Littlehampton, on the coast of Sussex.
It had just been fishing, and had a bass 11b. weight in his
mouth, scarcely dead.

Large catches of prawns were made last week on
the coast of Sussex. It is believed that they assemble on
that coar-t at this season of the ye.ir prior to migration.
Mi;. Hur:iit:s, ON Co-OPERATION.—The
completion of the second year's working under the co-
operatlon system, at Whitwood, Ilaigh Moor, and Methley
Junction Colliers., has just been celebrated at Whitwoosl,
short distance from Normanton. A meeting was held, at
which Mr. Hugh. s, M.P., spoke at some length on part-
nerships of industry.
THE REV. C. H. SPUROEON.—The attack of
rheumatic gout under which the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon has
been labouring since this day fortnight, when be contracted
a heavy cold while laying the foundation-stones of the
Orphans Home at Stockwell, still continues. Feeling
himself much better on Thursday last, he proceeded in his
brougham on the evening of that day to the Tabernacle,
and delivered the usual weekly lecture. The exertion,
however, proved too much for him ; for en Friday the
malady returned, and confined him to his residence in
Nightingale-lane, Clapham. On Saturday he was again
much better, and entertained hopes that he should be able
to preach at the Tabernacle yesterday. The morning of
yesterday, however, was so wet that his physicals' advised
him to remain indoors, and he did so. The consequence
of this attack is, that for two successive Sundays Mr. Spur-
geon has been abeent from the Tabernacle.
