METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)

The number of beasts is not large but the demand is email,
and It is difficult to maintain Monday's quotations emit
for choicest descriptions. In the sheep market there
is scarcely anything doing; the small amount of business
transacted is at rather lower rates ; calf trade is very dull.
From Germany and Holland there are 65 beasts ; Norfolk
and Suffolk 200 • 100 frorn the Northern and Midland, and
103 milch oowa from the Home Counties.

ROlll, 1.114.2.
The Jesuits having chanted the old year out and
the new year in, roses }wind°, pope, and sight-
seers from all parts of the world, visits of congratu-
lation were the order of the day yesterday morning,
and state equipage', with ecclesiastical costumes and
military and diplomatic uniforms glittering inside,
were to be seen harrying from
_palace to palace on
"math of polite formality. The Vatican was be-
sieged as usual by members of the sacred college,
foreign representatives, home ministers, and prelates
pushing on for promotion, anxious no doubt to obtain
the seven or eight vacant scarlet hats which his holi-
sm" is to confer in the ensuing month of February.
Monsignor Di Pietro, nuncio at the court of Lisbon,
M mentioned as certain of the cardinalitian dignity,
in the first consistory held for that purpose.
The opening of the opera is an event of more
interest, perhaps, to the bulk of the Romans, than
the opening of the new year, judging from the
violence with which they rep -raised their disappro-
bation of the first night's performance, to the horror
of Monsignor Governer nf Rome, who, from his
official box, listened with impotent dismay to the
storm of hisses that arose from the indignant occu-
r:Tattle!! the pit. The manager was protected from
demonstrations of hostility, on the second re-
=tation, by • strong body of police; but be
it neceseary to produce Gardoni on the
third evening to pacify the public, and the per-
ihneance of that admirable tenor has had an
Oupheus-like effect in soothing the ruffled
tompin of the previously enraged audience.
Legal proceedings are going on against the Marquis
Cangina, and valuations of his museum, and other
editionl and archaological tremor's, are being made
eat by order of the government. There appears to
be so doubt that the amount of his property will
sedies to cover the dutch left by him in the coffers
of the Monte di Pieta, even allowing for the dis-
advantageous conditions of a sale at the present
amen t.

A petition has been got up by British residents In
8e.., praying the Pope to withdraw his anathema
bow their national sport of fox-hunting. The docu-
meet has been going round for signatares during the
week, and the result of its presentation is now
am:lowly looked for, although it is generally feared
that petticoat influence will prove too strong for his
Holiness, and that the Princess Odescalchi will have
bee own way in the matter. The prince, her hus-
band, heads the rival faction, which is strengthened
by the countenance of the French Ambassador, the
sporting aspirations of " young Rome," and the
=ambling demands of the British Legion. The
or of Rome held a meeting of the principal
farmer and landholders in the Campagna two days
vo, and insinuated to them that a petition from
them collectively, alleging the damages committed
'upon their property, would have the effect of putting
a stop to bunting once for all, as the government
would then have an rictus for prohibiting it defi•
nitively instead of provisionally : but some of the
Kamer being sporting gents, there was a division
olopinion in the meeting, and the proposed docu-
ment was not got up.
It has been suggested that if the British and
French residents, with the Doke of Ornament at
their head, were to sally out " with a southerly
wind and cloudy sky," the Roman authorities would
not venture to interfere with their sport ; but as the
hounds and bunting establishment are now Roman
property, they would require to change hands before
they could be made use of in defiance of government
prohi bi time.

, lAn event of interest to Ancona, and as yet unpa-
ralleled in any port of the Roman States, recently took
place. Two mercantile vessels were launched there
of 1.350 tons each. These ships are of too large
dimensions for the trade of Ancona, and are destined
by their owners for the tragic between England,
India, and Australia.
lIEETLNOS OF CREDITORS.
At a meeting, held yesterday, of the creditors of
Tlessrs. Wienholt, Wishner, and Co., who stopped
payment on the 11th of December, the balance-
, sheet presented by Mr. J. C. Clarke, the accountant,
stated the liabilities at 93,6141., and the meets at
. 83,097/. It was unanimously resolved that the
estate be wound up by the partners, ander the tree-
' i Lion of inspectors. It wee unanimously resolved
" That the sympathy of this meeting with Messrs.
Weinholt. Wehner,aed Co., and their approbation ol
their condact, is hereby expressed by the meeting.
At a meeting held yesterday of the creditors of
, Messrs. Carr, Jesting, and Co., who stopped on the
24th November, resolutions to wind up under inspec-
-1 tion were passed. The attendance of creditors was
very large, and great sympathy was expressed to-
wards Mr. Carr upon the disastrous termination of
i 1 his mercantile career of nearly thirty years. The
estate is likely to make considerable recoveries
eventually upon bills for which it is now liable, and
is expected to yield a dividend of 12a. 6d. in the
pound. The balance-sheet, prepared by Mown J.
E. Coleman and Co.,states the liabilities at 114,9961,
and the (assets at 128,760/.
Yesterday was also held the meeting of the
creditors of Messrs. C. A. Jonas and Co., chiefly in
the Baltic trade, who stopped on the 4th
1 December. A balance-sheet, showing about 10e.
in the pound, was submitted by Mr. Ball, the ac-
11, countant. Of the deficiency of 16,4161. 13e. it was
mentioned that 14,2731. 16s. U. arose from special
lames resulting from the failure of other houses
during the recent crisis. It was also stated that the
books had been remarkably well kept, that no pre-
ferences had been given, and that the business con-
ducted by the firm was principally on commission,
and had been of a thoroughly sound and legitimate
character. The father of one of the partners is an
unsecured creditor for 6,0001. for cash advanced. The
explanations given were considered quite satisfac-
tory, and resolutions prepared by Mr. Hollams, the
solicitor, were passed agreeing to wind up the estate
ender ins?ec t ion.
A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. A. W. hilly
and Co., in the !tattle trade, who stopped payment on
the 7th alt., is called for the 16th test.
