SMITHFIELD.
To•day's market exhibited a very limited supply of
Beasts, both as to number and quality; nevertheless the
demand for all breeds was in a sluggish state at
Monday's prices—the top figure for the best Scots being
3s 8d per Blbs. The arrivals of Sheep being on the de-
crease, the Mutton trade was firm, and late rates were
well supported in every instance—the highest quotation
for the best old Downs being 4s 4d per 81bs. About 50
Dorset Lambs were brought forward. Calves were in
short supply and heavy inquiry, at the late decline. In
Pigs scarcely any business was transacted. Mulch Cows
were selling at from 141 to 181 each, including their
small Calf.

DEATH OP CAPTAIN ANDREW C. O'MALLEY.—
The decease of this gentleman took place at his residence,
Newcastle, on Tuesday last, after a prolonged illness, much
regretted by his acquaintances, and deeply mourned by his
numerous relations and connexions. Captain O'Malley was
the last surviving brother of the late gallant Major-General
George O'Malley, C. 8., whose military renown will ever live
in our history, and of Major Owen O'Malley, our much
regretted friend. The remains of Captain O'Malley were
conveyed to the family vault, Murrisk Abbey, on Friday last,
accompanied by a large assembly of friends and relations.

ten, T. Lacey, G. Gillett, and H. O'Brien Jameson, were

DRURY•LANE THEATRE. —The promised ballet of
Vert- Vert is to be produced here this evening, as we under-
stand, with very great splendour ; and the re-appearance of
Mademoiselle Plunkett is, of itself, quite enough to create
unusual attraction. The additional title of The Pet Parrot is
given to the ballet, the term of Vert- Vert not being quite so
familiar to the English as the French public.
We are informed that the Bishop of Meath, in con-
sequence of his late dangerous illness, has been prohibited by
his medical attendants from attending his Parliamentary
duties for some time.
The stringency with which the Mint is enforcing
its rules, with reference to the receipt of gold ingots inferior
to the standard, has caused a slight alteration to become
necessary in the rate at which the Bank of England pur-
chases American and French gold coin. Hitherto the prices
paid have been 31. 16s. 2,id. per ounce for American
and 31. 163. 2d. for French 20-franc pieces, but tlese eagles,
and
margin (except an insufficient one of 1/2d. in the latter case)

port amounts to about Id., andunder That expense
con-
tinuous arrivals, such as to render the
ance, the purchasing rate for the future will be reduced to
31. 16s. 11,0.. which will equally apply to American eagles,
French pieces, and Dutch guilders. With regard to the
purchase of gold ingots, it is understood also that the Bank
will take them ‘o`nait the rate ratel of W. 17s. lid. per ounce of
y when standard gold," the parcel shall in the aggregate
be of a quality equal or superior to the standard of 22 carats
fine, and be fit for coinage without going through the pro-
cess of refinage. For the convenience of the sellers, how-
ever, the Bank will purchase gold ingots quality ts of a not
under 21 carats fine, on receiving arn. allowance equivalent to
the expense of raising it to standard. We believe that the Cape Screw Steam Navigation
Company have obtained the contract for conveying the
mails to the Mauritius, Ceylon, and Calcutta,
in opposition
to several other tenders which have been submitted to the
Government.

in the Militia Bill to be brought before Parliament on the
13th instant, it will be proposed to enrol this force to the sz•
teat of 75,000 me&
