THAMES.

A SAD CAM-Mr Barratt, a vestryman of the Hamlet
of Itatcliff, accompanied by the clerk to the vestry, intro-
duced to the notice of the magistrate, Mr Paget, a poor
deaf and dumb woman named Emma Fennel, and said their
excuse for speaking on behalf of the woman was that she
could not speak for herself. On Saturday last her husband,
a journeyman tailor, who was also deaf and dumb, was run
down by a fire engine on its way to a fire in Devonport-
street, ltatcliff, and killed. The poor widow was left with
two young children, ono 5± years and the other seven
months old, to maintain. The two gentlemen assured the
magistrate that the bereaved Ridow was a very respectable
and deserving woman, and in great distress. She was un-
able to bury the remains of her late husband.
Mr Paget --Has an inquest been held P

Mr Barrett said the inquest was held yesterday morning,
and a verdict of accidental death returned. He was pro-
ceeding to relate some other facts concerning the poor
woman and her children, when

Mr Faget said there was no occasion to say more. He
was quite satisfied this was a very deserving case, and there
was no doubt the unfortunate deceased did not hear the
engine approaching him, atid was knocked down and lost
his life. He ordered that a sovereign should be given from
the poor-box fund, and hoped she would meet with sympa-
thy from the benevolent.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

About an average supply of beasts, in very middling
condition, was on offer in to•day's market. Prime breeds
commanded a steady sale, at full prices ; otherwise, the
beet trade was heavy, on former terms. A few very supe-
rior Scots realised 5s per Slb. We were fairly supplied with
sheep, for which the inquiry ruled inactive, at late curren-
cies. The best Downs produced 5s 4d per Slb. There was
a good demand for lambs, at full prices, viz., from Gs to
7s per Sib. Calves were in request, and rather dearer,
the top figure being 4s 10d. Pigs and milch cows sold
heavily, at late rates.
