METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a lull average supply of foreign stock on offer
here to-day as to number, tut its general quality was infe-
rior, sales consequently progressed slowly at about previous

currenzies.

Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrival of
beasts was moderate, and there was a falling off in the con•
dition of most breeds. The attendance of butchers was
rather limited, and the beef trade was in a sluggish state
at about last week's currency. The best Scots and crosses
sold at from 4s 10cl to 5s per Blbs. The supply from Scot-
land was tolerably good, and in prime condition. From
Ireland, however, the receipts were again limited.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,60 J Scots, crosses, and shorthorns; from Lincoln.
shire, 500 shorthorns; from other parts of England, chiefly
Herefordshire, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 328 Scots
and crosses; and from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers.
We were fairly supplied with sheep. All breeds changed
hands slowly, and in some instances prices gave way 2d per
Blbs. The best Downs, however, produced 55 2d per Blbs.
The supply of lambs was tolerably good, and the lamb
trade was inactive at late rates—viz., from 5s 8d to 6s 8d
per Blbs.
Calves a ere in fair average supply and moderate request
on former terms.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn).
IN RE LENSBURG.-JUDGMENT.

This bankrupt was described of Drury Lane, &c, cornice
polo manufacturer, and applied a short t me since to pass
his examination, but the accounts were very unsatisfactory,
and Mr J. Ii art, of the firm of Hart Brothers and Hayles,
had been appointed to examine and report thereon,
His Honour now said that tha bankrupt admitted
that the accounts were inaccurate and erroneous,
and his excuse was that he placed his confidence in
a man of the name of Smith who had betrayed his
confidence and absconded. Smith was a man of
a great many aliases—Ball, Eye, and Chappin. It
appeared to him (his Hon,,ur) that the bankrupt had not
sufficiently excused himself, for he appeared to be a shrewd
and intelligent man, and not exercised sufficient caution fn
trusting Smith, who had been convicted of embezzlement
and suffered twelvemonths' imprisonment, and bankrupt
employed him without a character. His Honour held that
the default was from the bankrupt's own culpable negligence
in employing Smith without a character, and refused to
pies the examination, which was adjourned sow die, but
with protection to give the bankrupt an opportunity of ap-
pealing if so advised.
