METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET

The supply of beasts in to-day's market was but mo-
derate, and in very middling condition. The primest
breeds sold slowly at Monday's prices ; hot inferior beasts
were very dull and rather drooping. We were scantily
supplied with sheep, and the mutton trade ruled somewhat
active at an improvement in value of 2d per Sibs. Lambs
changed hands steadily Lt '2d per Blbs more money. The
supply was small. Calves came steadily to hand, and the
veal trade ruled tolerably firm at full currencies. In pigs
very little was doing. Milch cows moved off slowly at
from 141. to 201. each, including their small calf.

ROROUGFI HOP.
As the plantation accounts continue very favourable
the duty has advanced to 300,0 01. All kinds of hops are
very dull. Those of the produce of 1854 are selling at
71. to 111 per cwt. O'd hops are from mares
to 15s per cwt
lower. The :mport of foreign hops appears to have ceased.

terrupt the first shipments, of which a fair average of
every kind exists but grapes, which are rendered a total
failure by this prevailing disease.

MORE ATROCIOUS OUTRAGES AT THE WEST END.—
The police receive daily intelligence of fresh outraies at
the West-end by means of the infernal machines thrown
into the areas. The last outrage of the kind has been
reported to the police as having taken place in Upoer
Harley-street, Cavendish-square, the lower windows of
the house being blown in by the violent:a of the explo-
sion. It seems, from some information that has come
to the knowledge of the police, that the appar.,us takes
a quarter of an hour to explode after being thrown into
the area, thereby enabling the ruffians to.eseape before
the alartp takes place.
