Waterloo Stations, until the completion of the Batter-

tbe,new bridge, now building across the Thames
to Chelsea, which will be opened for traffic in
the course of 1856, and will bring the terminal station
within a shorter distance of Hyde-park corner than
Vauxhall-bridge, besides giving the advantage of a river
pier, which the Waterloo station would not, and which,
in the opinion of the Brighton Company, is indispensably
requisite for their traffic and that of the Crystal Palace

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very limited supply of English wheat has been re-
ceived up to oar market this week, coastwise and by land
carriage. To-day, the show of samples was very small and
although the attendance of millers was limited, there was
mere firmness in the trade than on Monday. In prices,
however, scarcely any change took place.
Foreign wheat, the supply of which was good, moved off
slowly, on former terms. Floating cargoes commanded
very little attention. The supply of barley was trifling.
Sales progressed steadily at full quotations.
The oat trade was rather firmer at Monday's decline in
the quotations.
Beans wore -rely dull but not cheaper.
The sale for peas was steady. New white qualities re-
' alined 50s per quarter.
There was a slight improvenient in the flour trade, and
the quotations were supported.

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; but 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 8113 s. Lambs
changed hands steadily at 2d per Blbs more money. The
supply was small. Calves came steadily to hand, and tht
♦eal trade ruled tolerably firm at full currencies. In pigs
very little was doing. Milch cows moved off slowly at
from 14/. to 201. each, including their small calf.

MORE ATROCIOUS OUTRAGES AT TINE WEST
The police receive daily intelligence of fresh outrages at
the West-end by means of the infernal machines throws
into the areas. The last outrage of the kind has been
reported to the police as having taken pace in Upper
Harley-street, Cavendish-square, the lower windows of
the house being blown in by the violence of the explo-
sion. It seems, from sotne information that has come
to the knowledge of the police, that the apparatus takes
a quarter of an hour to explode after being thrown into
tke area, thereby enabling the ruffians to escape before
at 'laza takes;! -
