the Sheep were shearlinga. From the Isle of Wight
70 Lambs came to hand. The receipts from other
quarters were moderate. On the whole the trade was
firm, and in some instances Dorsets were the turn dearer.
We were well supplied with Calves, the sale for which
ruled inactive, at late rates. The Pork trade was heavy,
but we have no change to notice in prices.

NEVITGALIM AND LEADENEtikIa..
Since Monday last these markets have been exten-
sively supplied with each kind of meat, derived chiefly
from Scotland and the provinces. Generally speaking,
the demand is in a very inactive stare at the late decline
in the quotations. A few baskets of Mutton have
reached us from Uamburgh.

Coastwise, the arrivals of Potatoes have been but
Moderate since our last report, but very large supplies
have reached us from various quarters by railway. The
demand is heavy, and late rates are barely supported.
The general quality of the samples is remarkably good.

110x).—There is a Bill in the House of Commons to sift -
bah the criminal jurisdiction of the Ecclesiastical Courts in
certain cases. The Acts of sth and 6th Edward VI., chap.

siastical Commissioners, are to be repealed Further it is
Proposed to enact that after the "passing of the measure
suitno or proceeding shall be commenced or heard in any
ecclesiastical court in England or Wales for defamation, or
for quarrelling chiding, or brawling by words only in any
church or churchyard, or for smiting or laying violent hands
upon any other in any church or churchyard, or for mali-
ciously striking any person with any weapon, or for drawing
any weapon with intent to strike another is any church or

PLOW OF Pam( WATER INTO THE THA81F5......
appears from the evidence before the Committee nowsitting
on the water supply of the metropolis, that the immense
'volume of fresh water derived from the area of the drainage
of. the Thames which comes over Teddington lock and
Jinxes with the water below is calculated at 800,000,000
gallons a day, or about 16 square miles of water, 90 feet deep.
THE Loss OF THE BIRKENHEAD.—On Saturday
last a special meeting of the Town Council of Portsmouth,
over Which the mayor presided, was held for the purpose of
Considering the best means to be adopted for raising funds to
apsiet the sufferers by the loss of the Birkenhead. The bu-
siness of the day having been opened by the chairman, reso-
lutions were passed unanimously expressive of the sympathy
of the meeting with the sufferers and for taking means for
°Polling subscription lists. A resolution for calling a public
meeting, to be held on Wednesday next, at the hall of the
Beneficial Society of the borough, at 7 o'clock P.M., was also
a.ll,ed, after which it was announced by Captain Strange,
N. (through the chairman), that the officers of the garri-
son had volunteered an amateur performance at the theatre
in aid of the funds to be raised, and Mr. Davey said he was
authorised to offer the proceeds of any night that might be
named of the Clarence Gardens, for the same purpose. A
subscription was opened in the hall, to which the members of
the council immediately contributed upwards of 1031., the
mayor subscribing an additional sum of 251. from his own
pocket.

CHARGE 01‘ MURDER IN LivERroOD —Oa Satur-
day an Irish labourer, named Dowd, was committed for
trial, under the warrant of the borough coroner, charged with
the wilful murder of Thomas Conway, a labourer, aged 25
years. From the evidence it appeared that between 1 and 2
o'clock the previous Sunday morning, the prisoner and de-
ceased were drinking in a low whisky shop in Albert-street,
when a dispute arose between them as to which knew the
street best. They ultimately turned out and began to fight.
A bystander seeing the prisoner draw a knife from his pocket.
warned the deceased, who declared that he would fight no
more, and turned away. The prisoner followed, and having
caught him stabbed hi
en in thescewith the knife, inflicting
a severe incised wound above the left pelvis, six inches deep.
The prisoner was secured, and Conway was conveyed to the
Southern Hospital, where he died on Thursday.

FIRE IN 110LnoltN.—On Saturday evening a fire,
attended with the loss of several hundred pounds' worth of
property, broke out upon the premises of Messrs. Stannard,
wholesale picture-frame makers and carvers and gilders, 4,
Middle-row, Holborn, about eight o'clock. The flames were
first seen in the back workshops, and owing to the com-
bustible nature of the stock they progressed most rapidly, so
that within a very few minutes the whole range of work-
shops were one mass of fire. The various engines were early
in attendance, and no time was lost in setting them to work;
but, notwithstanding the firemen exerted themselves to the
utmost, the fire was not sufficiently extinguished to prevent
its extending further until half-past nine o'clock, by which
time Messrs, Stannard's manufacturing premises and their
valuable contents were destroyed ; the premises of Mr.
Murphy, ironmonger, materially injured by fire and water ;
and the house of Mr. Crossmore, hair-dresser, similarly
damaged. Messrs. Stannard are insured in the Phcenix
Office, Mr. Murphy in the Sun Office, but Mr. Crossnaore is
uninsured.
