METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The supply of foreign beasts in to-day's market was
rather extensive—of foreign sheep only moderate. Sales
progressed slowly, at about stationary prices.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably exten-
sive as to number, and, for the most part, of prime quality.
From Ireland the receipts were again limited, and in but
middling condition. All breeds et beasts moved off heavily,
at fully last Monday's decline in the quotations. In some
instances prices were rather in favour of the butchers. The
best Scots and crosses sold at 4s Bd, prime Downs, short-
horns, &c., at 4s 4d per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,100 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns ; from other
parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland 462
Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 150 oxen and heifers.
With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily
supplied. Good and prime Downs and half-breds moved
off steadily, at full currencies. Otherwise the mutton trade
was heavy, on rather lower terms. The top figure for
Downs was 6s per Blbs.
Lambs—the show of which was tolerably good—were in
request, at very full prices. The general rates were 6s 4d
to 7s 8d; but very superior lambs made Ss per 81bs.
We had a slow trade for calves, at from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per
81bs. The supply was geed.
There was very little doing in pigs, at late quotations.

On Saturday evening the ancient civic Company
of Salters entertained his Royal Highness the Duke
of Cambridge and a select company at dinner at
their fine corporate hall, in St. S lane. The
guests began to arrive shortly after 6 o'clock, and
were received in the drawing-room by the Master
of the Company (Mr. Alderman Gibbons) ; the
three wardens, Mr. Joseph Sully, Mr. Tbomas
Weston, and Mr. Henry Graham Stokes; and by
Mr. Thompson, their clerk. A detachment of the
City of Loadon Rifle Brigade, uader the command
of Captain Haywood, attended on the occasion as
a guard of honour to his Royal Highness the Com-
mander-in Chief, who is .honorary colonel of
the regiment, and to whom they are always
proud of every opportunity of paying a
similar compliment. The Duke, attended
by Colonel Tyrwhitt, as equerry, presented
himself at the Hall at half-past 6, and on his ar-
rival the band of the Coldstream Guards played
the National Anthem. His royal highness was
welcomed with every mark of nigh consideration
by the Master and Wardens. The guests shortly
afterwards prcceeded to the dining► hall, escorted
by the wardens. They were about 160 in num-
ber, and among them were the Right Rev, the
Archbishop of Armagh, Lord Primate of Ireland ;
the Earl of Leven and Melville, Lord Harris, Sir
Hervey Bruce, M.P,, General Sir Andrew Scott
Waugh, Rear Admiral Wellesley, Sir Thomas
Bateson, M,P., Alderman Sir James Duke,
M.P., Mr. Pope Hennessy, M.P., Mr. Mof-
fatt, M.P., Colonel M'Murdo, Colonel Sargent,
Lieut.-Col. Wood, Mr. Powoall, Chairman of the
Middlesex magistrates; the Rev. Dr. Vivian, Mr.
Henry Robarts, Mr. R. W. Bleocowe, Cuairman of
the Sussex Quarter Sessions; Mr. George Moore,
Mr. J. P. Reynolds, Prime Warden of the Dyer's
Company; Mr. Benjamin B. Williams, Master of
the Saddler's Company; Mr. Thomas Dunnage,
Master of the Cutler's Company; and Mr. Edmund
Wigginton, Master of the Joiners' Company.
On the removal of the cloth the loving cup cir-
culated round the board, and then the MASTER
gave in snecession the toasts of " The Queen" and
"The Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of
the Royal Family," which were drunk with every
mark of respect. The MASTER next proposed
" The Church," associating With the toast the name
of the Archbishop of Armagh, the Primate of Ire-
land, uho er.joyed the respect of all who knew
him. His Grace returned thanks, and adverted to
the fact that the Worshipful Cornplry of Salters
was intimately connected with the diocese over
which he had been called to preside.
His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, whose
name had ken associated by the Master with the toast of
"The Army and Navy and Volunteers," presented himself
to respond to it, and was hailed with cheers. lie said—
Master, 'Wm dens, my Lords, and Gentlemen,—You
have done me the honour of asking me to be present
at this meeting and of proposing my health. I
feel great gratification in having had the advantage o
being present on so interes'ing an occasion, and in having
had my name coupled with the Army, with which I am
intimately associated. The Master has made some appro

priate remarks with reference to the policy of keeping up
the efficiency of the services, and has said the best way to
remain at peace was to be prepared for war. That is a senti-
ment I have ventured to enunciate on many occasions; and
it is one which I am always desirous of bringing under the
notice of the public whenever I have an opportunity; for if
ever there was a period in our history when that sentiment
ought to be well considered it is the time in which we now
live. The situation of this country is peculiar. There is an
innate and strong feeling pervading the people that peace is
that which is most advantageous and desirable for this great
nation; but at the same time, living in a state of the pro •
foundest peace, we see ourselves surrounded and our inte-
rests very much concerned by other nations, who are unfor-
•

tunately not in the same peaceful condition in which we
happen to "ue. Ido not think that anybody can deny that
we have done our best to keep our hands clear of what is
going on abroad. What have we done ? We have
endeavoured to use our moral influence, and let us
consider what moral influence means. It is the finest
and noblest sentiment whish a nation can possibly en-
tertain, and which, if really supported as it ought to be,
is that to which we ought and do aspire. But moral in-
fluence only exists where there is physical power. (Cheers.)
Moral influence without physical power is no influence at
all. The way to make your moral influence bear on the
affairs of the world is by keeping your physical power so
efficient that should the moral influence break down a ready
resort can be made to the physical. (Cheers and a laugh.)
Entertaining, therefore, the strongest desre that all our
influence throughout the world, should be, if possible exer
cised through moral means, I have at the same time the
strongest conviction that we ought to keep up the efficiency
of the services by every means in our power, and that if we
do not England will cease to hold that proud, that influential,
and that exalted position which every Briton wishes his
country to occupy among the nations of the earth. (Cheers )
I feel convinced that the interest of the services with
which I am•connected and of the other service are dear
to the whole community, and that every Englishman is
aware those services are only animated by the desire to per
form their duty by their country, and that the authorities
who direct them have but cue object, which is to do every..
thing in their power to put and maintain them on a foot-
ing worthy of the nation. Our army, 49 you are aware, is
scattered all over the world. When great wars are going
on, public attention is always directed to its operations,
but there are occasionally small wars, as now, when those
engaged in them xr.ky be exposed to much hardship,
but may excite, nevertheless, little regard. We have
now a small war On our hands in New Zealand, and
the conduct of the troops engaged in it has been
such as to command the admiration of all acquainted
with the circumstances, I think the gallant
manner in which General Cameron has acquitted
himself in that part of the world with a small number of
-troops is wail deserving consideration. It only remains for
me to say how gratified I am in being present at this hos-
pitable board: (His Royal Highness was cheered on re-
suming his seat.)

Rear-Admiral:WELLEnur.briefly responded on the part
of the Navy.
Colonel M‘Munno replied for the Volunteers.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGN proposed as a toast, "The
Master, and Prosperity to the Worshipful Company of
Salters."

The toast was drunk with great cordiality, and the
MASTER for himself and the Wardens, responded to the
compliment in appropriate terms,
Lord Harris spoke to the toast of " The House of Lords";
Sir Hervey Bruce, M.P., to that of " The House of Com-
mons ;" and Mr. Pope Hennessy, M.P., to that of " The
Visitors."
The company separated about 11 o'clock.

MISSING VESSELS.—The Jamcs, which sailed
from Hartlepool for',Gluckstrdt on the 9th of March, and
the Queen of England, which sailed from Colombo on the
14th of November for London, have not since been

An Austrian squadron, composed of a paddle-
wheel corvette, bearing the flag of a Rear Admiral, a line-

. .........- ----
( stable Cotterell, No 92 of the L division, who was on duty
close by, was proceeding towards the spot, when he was met
' by a female who pointed out the house the cries proceeded
from. He entered the front shop, and upon looking through
a window he saw a woman beating her husband on the head
and knocking it against the drawers. The woman who
pointed cut the house to him accompanied him into the
room, when they found the man lying on the floor perfectly
insensible. The woman was forthwith taken into cus-
tody, and surgical assistance sent for. Mr. Waken], the
divisional surgeon of the police, promptly attended
and upon making a careful examination of the unfortunate
man pronounced life to be extinct. Dr. Donahoe, of the
Westminster-road, likewise promptly attended ; but of
course could not render any assistance. The woman was
removed to Tower. street Police-station. So drunk was she
at the time that it was the opinion of the police that she
was labouring under delirium tremens. Orders were there-
fore given that she should be carefully wa►ched through-
out the night lest she should attenspt to destroy her own
life as well as that of her husband. The brother of the
woman has taken the children of the dece.ased to his own
house for protection for the present.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER
(THIS DAY.)
_ _

r As soon as the night charges had been disposed of, Sarah
Weston, a decent looking female, about 30-years of age,
, who appeared to be suffering severely from the effects of
drink, was placed at the bar before Mr. Woolrych, charged
with causing the death of Stephen Weston, her husband, by
violently assaulting him on Sunday morning in their own
house, Johanna-street, Lower Marsh, Lambeth.
Samuel Samuels, a cooper, living in the Borough- road,
said that about two on Sunday morning he heard cries of
murder inside the prisoner's house. He climbed up to a
front window which was opened by a girl,
and he saw the prisoner and her husband on
the floor. She was partly sitting and bad hold
of her husband's head, when she struck him on the
floor, lie called out, and then she turned around and let
go her husband's head, which dropped on one side, and he
saw he was dead. The mother of the deceased came and
calleed out "For God's sake fetch a policeman or she'll kill
my son." The prisoner then got up, put on her husband's
boots, and went downstairs. He went down to the front
door and saw her coming out, when she told him to go
away, but he refused, and remained until a policeman came
up, when they entered the house, and saw the deceased
tying dead, A surgeon was sent for immediately.
Susan Weekly, residing at No. 3, Plum-street, said that
between 2 and 3 she heard cries of murder as she went
in the house and saw the mother and the prisoner, She
went upstairs and saw the prisoner's husband dead. The
last time she saw him alive was on Saturday morning, and
then he appeared in his usual health. When she entered
the room ho was lying partly on the bed and partly on the
floor. Witness knew that he had been very ill for some
time, especially the last two or three days, therefore he
was extremely weak. During the Saturday night
she had called the attention of the police to him.
The children opened the door and cried "Mulder," and
then she entered the house. She saw no blood or mark
of any kind. He looked as if he fell down and died.
Cotterell, 92 L, said he was called in about two o'clock
on Sunday morning, when a man said you had better go
upstairs as the man is dead. He went there and found
deceased lying on the bed, and he was quite dead, Witness
then fetched Waken, the divisional surgeon.
Inspector Edwards here asked for a remand until after
the coroner's inquest.

Mr Woolrych accordingly remanded her for a week, and
;he was removed immediately to Hurbetnonger-lane Gaol.

SOUTHERN VLPIMS.

From the head-waters of the Red River to the
coast of North Carolina the horizon is fairly radiant
with Confederate victory. Forcing its way through
the darkness of Yankee concealment, Banks's defeat
tells that all is well in the Trans-Mississippi depart-
ment. Forrest, at Fort Pillow, undoes in an hour
the year's work of Grant, and obstructs, in a very
inconvenient manner, the free navigation of the
Mississippi. Confederate horsemen career confidently
in Western Kentucky, and white flags are hanging
out at Columbus. It was proper that these brilliant
iffairs in the West should be furnished with a pen-
' dsnt in the East, and nobly has it been done by
Hoke, at Plymouth. There, too, has storming been
the order of the day, and success has been as coat-
plete as at Fort Pillow. Hitherto, though often
led against fieldwelcs, the Confederate soldiers have
rarely been called upon to assail permanent fortifica-
tions. These twa brilliant examples fully attest
their prowess in this trying mode of warfare, and
evince that striking superiority of elan which most
signally elevates them above the Yank,N soldier.
Not an instance in the war can be mentioned
of the Yankees having driven our men from in-'
trenched positions. These cheering victories, coning
in such rapid succession from so many different
quarters, are auspicious of final success. They re-
semble those minor combats which so often, on the
eve of great battles, have seemed to cast the shadow
of coming events before them, and to. give an
earnest of future victory. While the two great
armies are collecting their strength and preparing
for a decisive spring, these hopeful auguries
cannot fail to inspirit the ore and to throw a gloom
over the other. Thus far the year has been marked
by a series of unbroken triumphs to the Confede-
rate arms. Should the stream continue to set a little
longer in the same direction, it will sweep away all
the impediments in the course of our youthful
republic. The facility with which we have achieved
these triumphs is encouraging in another point
of view. The enemy must have weakened his
armies of occupation in the various districts he has
overrun. His garrisons are a mixture of whites
and blacks—enough, probably, of the former to
prevent the Africans from following their own in-
clination and surrendering at the first summons.
By such a disposition it was thought that their
conquests might be retained, and the negro soldiery
be made to serve a useful purpose. The event
has disappointed these expectations. They have
lost their hard-won conquests, and as yet have
failed to etrike any compensating blow by means of
the cuncentratiota for the sake of which they have
weakened themselves elsewhere. The details
of the affair at Plymouth are not yet fully
ascertained. It is, however, safe to pronounce

it ono of the most brilliant affairs of the
war. Its immediate fruits are important.
Those which may ultimately flow from it,
the possession of an abundant country, and the
possible command of the inland waters of North
Carolina (though as yet the subject of uncertain
speculation), may well excite high hopes for the
future. General Hoke, jadging from the large
number of his prisoners, does not seem to hays
made such thorough work as that by which
Forrest has so shocked the tender souls and
frozen the warm blood of the Yankees. The re-
sistance he encountered was, probably, not so des-
perate, and the blood of the victors was not ao heated,
though in a fortification carried by storm the
loss of the garrison must inevitably be large. The
strict laws of civilised warfare acknowledge the
power of the victor to put all to the sword in such
cases. However severe Buchan example might seem,
it would strike a salutary terror in the Yankees
which will be useful to them in the end, and their
melancholy whine at meeting apart of the punishment
their barbarities merit is absurd. In the rapid fall cat
these positions which the Yankees gained ao easily
we see something like a revulsion of the gunboat
mania. At that period they made most of the
acquisitions which they have since held apparently
in a firm grasp. The reflux of the tido is no less
sudden than its advance. The year 1864 may undo
the work of 1862, and suggest a solution of many
difficulties which seemed almost insurmountable.—

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH STREET.
RUNNING AND WALKING MATCHES IN HYDE PARR—
ASSAULT ON A PARK CONSTABLE.--`e, illiam Amos, a
young man, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with disorderly
conduct in Hyde Park yesterday mottling, and also with
assaulting Wilson Millin, Hyde Park constable.
Wilson Millin said—Yesterday morning my attention
was called to a crowd of 200 or 250 persons near the Maga.
sine Barracks in Hyde Park. I went up and found the
persons had collected for the purpose of a walking or running
match, which was about to rake place. There was a good
deal of betting going on, and a good deal of noise. I did
my best to disperse the persons, it being one of the most
riotous mobs I had seen for some time. The prisoner came
up and struck me on the head and damaged my hat. I
then took him into custody and to the police station.
Mr Tyrwhitt—Are the persons in the habit of going to
the park on Sunday mornings ?
Millin—Yes, every Sunday morning there are a number
of the lowest persons from all parts of London there for the
purpose of taking part in running and walking matches,
and there is always a scene of great disorder.

Prisoner—Seeing a crowd of persons I went to see the
cause, and finding there was going to be a foot race, I
stopped to see it.

milli/I—l requested the prisoner to go away several
!Iles.

Dennis Corkran, another park constable, said—l saw the
crowd collected for a walking and running match, and saw
the prisoner strike Millin on the head. The crowd was
riotous.

Mr. Parkes, inspector of the park constables, said—Run-
ning matches and foot races in the parks are strictly pro-
hibited by the Commissioner of Woods and Works. Per-
sons are in the habit of assembling nearly every Sunday
morning for the purpose of foot racing and running matches,
And the park constables had orders to put it down both from
the' Ranger of the Park and the Commissioners of Woods
and Worts.
Mr Tyrwhitt—The parks are intended for recreation, and
I do not believe ft was ever meant that they should be used
for the purpose of running races by a set of betting men,
who, when the lost their money, o ten became very abusive.
The constable had done quite right in preventing disorder
in the park. The parks are not the property of the public.
but the property of the Crown, and it will never do to let
authority over the parks be taken away from the persons
in whom it is vested. I shall fine the prisoner 10s, and the
fines will be a great deal heavier if the practice goes on.

THAMES.
Mr Burcham, of the Southwark Police Court, presided
this day for Mr Paget. Owing to the great number of ap-.
plicants for warrants, summonses, and advice, the hearing
of the night charges did not cou.nience until halt-past 11
o'clock. The K division have 22 charges, the H division
nine, and the Thames division one. Besides the night
charges, there are 10 summonses to be heard, and the
charges which are likely to turn up in the course of the day.
The business is comparatively light for Monday.
POLICE OFFICIOUSNESS.—John Callaghan, a labourer,
was charged with assaulting John Chester, a police
constable 23 H.
The complainant stated that ho was waited upon by a
lodging-house keeper at a quarter to one o'clock on Sunday
morning. The man said there was a lodger in his house who
had made a disturbance, and used obscene language Re
went to the house, and the prisoner waepointed out to him
as the offender. The prisoner refused to leave the house
until he took him into custody.
Mr Burcham—What for?

Witness—For usitg obscene language and making a dis-

othear him making a disturbanca
turbance.

Mr. Burcham—You had nothing to do with that at all.
You saw no breach of the peace, heard no disturbance, and
you ought not to have taken the prisoner into custody. He
is discharged.
