METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was about an average supply of beasts on sale hero
to-day, but the general quality of the stock was inferior.
Prime breeds moved off readily, at very full prices. Other-
wise, the beef trade was heavy, at late rates. The hest
Scots and crosses realised 5s 2d per 81bs. Sheep, the show
of which was only moderate, wore in good request, at ex-
treme currencies, The best Downs and half-breeds wcro
worth 5s 6d per 81bs. We have to report a good sale for
calves, at full quotations—viz, from 4s to 5s per Sibs. The
supply was by no moans extensive. Pigs and mach cows
were in fair request, on former terms.

ACCIDENTAL HANGING. Yesterday afternoon
Dr Lankester held an inquest at the Vestry-rootn
of St Thomas's, Chancery-lane, on the body of Job Bart-
lett, an apprentice to a printsr, who, by allowing his mind
to dwell constantly on the case of Muller, came to speculate
on the subject of hanging, and, while making some experi-
ments, lost his life through a misadventure. It appeared
from the evidence of several persons who worked in the
printing office of Mr Chipereile, of Chanury-lane, in
which the deceased was employed, that they saw hini
about half-past six on Monday evening, and that he was
found dead at a quarter before seven. liver since the
murder of Mr Briggs his thoughts had run in that direction,
an I often when speaking of the probable fate of iliulier ho
had said that he should like to be hanged. Edward Ride,
an apprentice, who discovered the deceased hanging, said
the rope which was about his neck was not twisted, and
was only tied by a single knot. llis impression, confirmed
by many others in the same office, was that the lad was
playing at hanging, and that, as he was standing on thick
glass lot into the fl or for the purpose of giving light to
the room below, ho might have slipped and become en-
tangled in the rope, lie was of cheerful disposition, and
no one ever supposed him to be serious when he talked
about his desire to be hanged. The rope was placsd ill the
room for the purpose of pulling up the windows for ven-
tilation. The coroner, in summing up, inclined to the opi-
nion that the lad did not intentionally commit suicide, and
the jury, adopting the same view of the case, returned a
verdict of "Death from misadventure."

The oourse oi exchang-e---attievrl:on London for bills at
60 dayg' sight is quoted 275 to 250 per cent., and the pre-
mium on gold 157 to 1581 per cent. Gold still contlaues to
