METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a fair average supply of beasts on sale here
to-day, but the general quality of the stock was inferior.
All breeds of beasts moved off slowly, at Monday's currency.
The few Scots on show realised fully 5s per 81bs. Sheep—
the number of which was seasonably good— wore a dull
inquiry, on former terms. The best Downs produced 5s 4d
per Bibs. We were well supplied with calves, which com-
manded less attention. Prices, however, were supported.
The top figure was 4s 10d per Blbs. Prime small pigs were
quite as dear as last week, In large hogs very little was
doing. Milela cows were a dull inquiry.
Per 81bs. to sink the offal. •

AGUARDIAN ANGEL.
By the Author of "A Trap to Catch a Sunbeam."
"The Guardian Angel' is a success. The book is a good
one, entirely healthy in tone. It has a good honest morale
about it that makes it a refreshing contrast to half the books
one comes across, and there is a carefulness and truthfulness
in the delineation and keeping of the characters that are not
always found in works of much greater pretension. We very
gladly recommend it." —Saturday Review."

The Southern Confederacy.

A private letter from an English gentleman re-
siding in the Southern capital, contains the
following :

" Richmond, Va., Aug. 5.1854.

" I observe, either by ' accident or design,' you
do not say anything of ' the war.' Perhaps you
are right ; but as my situation is different I need
not Le so reticent. What the opinion or intention of
the French and English may be at present I, of
course, know not, but they may rely on it that
eventualiy they will have to acknowledge" Southern
independence,' and may wish, some day, they had
not done it sooner. Eight millions of people, who
have held their own' against such odds and ap-
pliances as have been brought to bear on them,
cannot be subjugated. We all here have a sort of
feeling that peace is not for off, but, on reasoning,
no one cm tell why. As for the enrefirlence of the
people in their rulers, the rn!ers in their army, and
all in God and their just cause, it is unanimous and
unbounded. At least 150,000 men are within 25
miles of us, panting for the licence to plunder,'
which we know has been held out to them, yet a
stranger would walk our city, and save the eight of
a number of crippled soldiers, would scarcely see
anything to denote the situation, Certainly on no
one's face would he see the shadow of a fear. At
our churches he would bee an unusual proportion
of worshippers in black ; but on the countenances
of those who had lost their nearest and dearest
would he see noble resignation and firm deternaina*
tion to endure all sooner than give up."

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A MARRIED WOMAN.—
Mary Alexander, a married woman, was charged before
Mr Partridge with the following disgraceful conduct in
Heath-street, Stepney :—•

It appeared that the prisoner, who lived at 93, Heath-
street, with her husband, came home last night about 7
o'clock, She was in a dog cart, and as she came down the
street she waived a handkerchief the whole distance.
When she got near her own house she got out of the
vehicle and raised her crinoline in a very improper manner.
She then danced round the cart, and collected a crowd of
nearly 200 persons. She then picked up some granite stones
which she flung among the crowd.
Police constable 119 K was then obliged to take the pri-
soner into custody.
Several of the neighbours came forward who stated that
the prisoner was often in the same way, and of causing a
disturbance in the street.

Inspector Bays said that a few weeks ago the prisoner
was sent by Mr Paget for a month to the House of Correc-
tion for a similar offence.
The prisoner was find 405., or in default, one month's
imprisonment.

RIBBLESDALE.

The first extraordinary meeting of this company
was held at Blackburn on Wednesday—Air E.
Hardacre in the chair. The report stated that the
Royal assent to the Act of incorporation had been
given on the 231 of Juno last, end the engineer
had since marked out the railway. The directors
understood that there were two new lines of rail-
way having junctions on their lino projected—viz.,
one by the North of England Union Railway, and
the other by the West Riding Junction Railway.
The former line was intended to continue the Rib-
blesdale Riilway through Wensleydale, and after-
wargN jf.in the West Hartlepool at Thrlington. The
other proicted junction line was to pass from Chat-
burn and form a junction with the Midlana Rail-
way
at E!slack, near Skipton. The report wab
aitopuld.

TENDRING HUNDRED.
It appears that the works on this company's ex.,
tensions to 'Wesley and 'Walton aro progressing
satisfactorily. The -Walton sec!ion is to be ready
for traffic early in the spring, and the line to Weeley
a few months later. The Hythe, E tat-street, and

St. Botolph's line has been contracted for by Mr
Munro. The whole of the land has been purchased
and is now in possession of the company, The first
work to be proceeded with will be a bridge or via•
duct over the river Colne, and it is expected that
the line will be ready for traffic simultaneously with
the opening of the extension to Weeley.

COFFEE—The demand for colonial descriptions has been
steady, and late prices are well sustained.
RicE—A moderate amount of business has been done,
and fully late prices are maintained.

TALLOW—A fair amount of business has been done for
both home use and on speculation, and quotations are
steadily maintained. P.Y.C. on the spot is marked 41s,

IHE TUEIKISH NAVY.—A London private letter
of the 24th ult. gays :—"lu a lawsuit now pending
hero in reference to certain commissions on orders fur
steamers in course of construction for the Ottoman Govcrn
ment by a large Thames building company, startling dis-
closures have been wade, which seriously compromise at
least one high Ottoman official. A commission, now on its
way out to take the depositions of Col. Amet Bey before the
judge of the Supreme Consular Court, will probably throw
additional light on the alleged venality of the parties im-
plicated. All contracts between the Porte and English
shipbuilders contain a clause strictly prohibiting the latter
from giving, directly or indirectly, any bribe, commission,
gratuity, or reward whatever to any person in the service
either of the Ottoman or English Government. It would
appear that in this case the covenant in question has net
been respeeted."—lfvant .11-trald of I)ee. 7.

M. Weiss, librarian to the town of Besancton
(Doubs), has just offered a sum of 30,000 fr for the erection
of a statue of Cardinal de Grandvelle, in the court-yard of
the Palace of Grandvelle, recently purchased by the munioi-
pality of that town. The only condition imposed by the
donor is that the statue should be executed by M. Jean
Petit, a local sculptor, which stipulation has been acceded
to by the authorities. Cardinal de Grandvelle was a re-
markable statesman of the sixteenth century, and endowed
the town of Besangen with its present public library. His
father•was Chancellor to the Emperor Charles Y., and built
the palace in which the statue is to be placed.

MALVERN AND COLIVALL.

trA short line of railway has just been projected
between these places, forming a loop-line i❑ the
Worcester and Hereford Railway, by which the
tunnel through the Malvern Hills will be avoided.
The Worcester and Hereford Railway from Mal-
vern to Hereford being a single line, and the
traffic very considerable, the freighters and pas•
sengers complain of repeated detentions and de-
lays. A diversion out of the main line at
Malvern Limb, through North Malvern, Cow-
leigh, and Mathon to Cclwall is therefore projected.
The distance is under six miles and the landowners
are all favourable. The estimate for the works is
580,060, and responsible contractors are prepared
to undertake them for that sum. It is proposed to
hand over the line when made to the Great Western
Company on their guaranteeing a rent of £4,000
per annum, being at the rate of 5 per cent. on the
capital.

COFFEE—The demand for colonial descriptions has been
steady, and late prices are well sustained.

here in reference to certain commissions on orders for
steamers in course of construction for the Ottoman Govern..
ment by a large Thames building company, startling disk
closures have been made, which seriously compromise at
least one high Ottoman official. A commission, now on its
way out to take the depositions of Col. Amet Bey before the
judge of the Supreme Consular Court, will probably throw
additional light on the alleged venality of the parties im-
plicated. All contracts between the Porte and English
shipbuilders contain a clause striotly prohibiting the latter
from giving, directly or indirectly, any bribe, commission,
gratuity, or reward whatever to any person in the service
either of the Ottoman or English Government. It would
appear that in this case the covenant in question has not
been respected•"—,Let'anf Herald of Dec. 7.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

[REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.]

PORTUGAL.
HURRICANE AT LISBON.
LISBON, DEC. 14.
On the 13th inst. at about nine a.m., a hurricane
burst with fury over Lisbon. In a very short
space of time great damage was done principally
to the shipping. Several ships have been sunk in

the river and damaged considerably,:among which
may be mentioned the Portuguese brig, Feliz,
Mafalda, and the brig Lusitano ; the bark Linda
has been injured; the French brig Boildittu, from
Rouen, has been sunk. The vessels of war in the
harbour did not suffer any damage, but ail the
steam vessels kept steam up throughout the day.
The lighters, of which a large number are employed
in the harbour in the diseharge of vessels, suffered
Icthiiesfuloidssas many as 42 have been
occurred at the Custom-
sviielr,yk.mucThh.e
house Quay, where several lighters with valuable
cargoes from vessels in the harbour were waiting to
be discharged, all of which were almost instanta-
neously capsized by the violence of the wind.
Lighters with goods from the Ville de Brest, from
St. Ntizaire ; the Ailsa Craig, from Glasgow; and
the Lusitania, from Oporto, were sunk, and the
loss of goods is estimated at something like £40,000.
Several lighters belonging to the Royal Mail Com-
pany, which were moored at the buoy coal laden,
waiting the arrival of the Magdalena, were sunk
and their cargoes lost. In the Aloantara gardens
and other exposed places large trees were blown
down, and in Lisbon generally and the suburbs
much damage has been done.

It is long since Lisbon was visited with such a
gale as that recorded above.

The Gazette has not yet published the decree
relieving Senhor Mendez Leal from the post of
Minister of Marine, bat it is considered certain
that his excellency has resigned.

LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 20, 1864.

The se'zurc of the Ftcrida was one of the most
disgraceful occurrences that have taken place during
the whole course of the American war. It was a
dastardly act, and stamped its perpetrators with
ignominy and reproach. Nothing can extenuate
such a wanton deed of spoliation, nor excuse such
a gross violation of the laws of netions and the
rights of belligerents. It is only to b 3 expected
so extraordinary an event should have occasioned
great confusion, and given rise to much excite-
ment in the minds of many. We have some time
since been favoured with Mr WEBB'S extravagant
opinions on the subject, when he went out of his
way to abuse a friendly Power, and to vilify those
who in no way called for the condemnation. It
does not appear, however, that his vehement ideas
are shared by his countrymen, and indeed it is not

ARICA. AND TACNA.

Tho ordinary general meeting of this company
was held yesterday at the offices in New Broad-
street—Mr J. P. Kennard in the chair.

The report stated that with the Ist of July, 1863,
had commenced a new period under circumstances
more favourable than any hitherto experienced, in-
asmuch as the company was then for the first time
relieved from Government interference, and the
natural resources of the undertaking were left to
their own development. The net eernings for the
year amounted to £29,143, and sufficiently proved
that nothing was wanting to secure the prosperity
of the line beyond the uncontrolled exercise of such
rights as the original concession gave, and which
had been unjustifiably set aside by the Peruvian
Government to the manifest detriment of the under.
taking. The accounts now presented laboured under
the disadvantage of an adverse rat of exchange,
ranging from 361 to 38d. The just claims of the
company were still unrecognised by the Peruvian
Government, although cfficially acknowledged in
principle by the Dircctor.General of Public
Works. Those claims were on account of-1, loss
resulting from the forced reduction of tariff during
33 months; 2, interest on outstanding arrears in
Lima ; 3, commissions incurred in recoveries made
there ; and 4, expenses of London agency. The
length of time that had elapsed and the weary rou-
tine of evasions to which they had been subjected led
to the unwilling conclusion that diplomatic action
alone cratld obtain them justice. The improved re-
ceipts enabled the clirectots to declare a dividend of
3! Per cent., which they recommended should be
payable from the 27th inst., ices income-tax.

The CIIAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, dwelt
upon the main features of the report, and remarked
that although the receipts wcre now higher than
they had previously been the directors had hoped
that they would have been better still. Business
was bad and politics unsettled, but arrangements
with regard to the Republic of Bolivia and other
matters were in progreas which efhrded a prospect
of larger dividends in the future.
The report was then unanimously adopted, as
were resolutions for a di6tribution of a dividend of
