METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The [supply of foreign beasts to-day was seasonably
good—of foreign sheeps and calves only moderate. Sales
progressed steadily, and prices had an upward tendency.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were limited ; but the general qua-
lity was prime. The supply trom Scotland was good; but
from Ireland the receipts were limited. All breeds of
beasts commanded steady sale, at an advance in the quota-
tions compared with Monday last of 2d per Blbs. The ge-
nets' top figure was 4s 10d; but really prime Scots and
crosses realised 5s per Blbs. Amongst the supply were
about 400 store beasts.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2:000 Scots, short horns and crosses; from other
parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 459
Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 130 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was only moderate. Compared with
some previous weeks there was a falling off in their qua-
lity. All breeds sold steadily at an improvement in value
of from 2d to, in some instances 4d per 81bs. Prime Downs
and half-breds sold at 5s per 81bs.
Lambs were in good request at full prices, viz., from 6s
4d to 7s 6d per Sibs. About 700 came to hand from the
Isle of Wight.

We had a slow inquiry for calves at late rates, viz., from
4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The supply of town and country-killed meat on sale here
today is but ruoderate. Good and prime beef and mutton
are in steady demand, at full prices. Lamb moves off
steadily, at quite previous rates; otherwise, the trade is
dull,

BOROUGH HOP.

Since our last report a fair business has been transacted
in good and fine English hops, of last year's growth, and
prices have ruled firm. Inferior produce, however, is a
dull inquiry, and the quotations have a downward ten-
dency. The accounts at hand from the plantations are
very favourable. The bine is making rapid progress, and
is strong and free from blight. There were no imports into
London last week either from the continent or America.

tract market, is not to say active. The supply on offer is
small, and the reduction in the bank rate to eight per cent
has induced holders to demand, in some instances, somewhat
higher prices. Produce of the new chip has changed hands
at high rates, namely, as follows :—Yorkshire and jaincoln-

firm. In other seeds there was not much doing, at previous

THE REGIUSPROFE.i'SORSHIP OF GREEK.

The Earl of DERBY referred to some remarks made by
the noble and learned lord on the woolsack in the course of
his speech the other evening on the occasion of the
debate upon the subject of the endowment of the
Regius Professorship of Greek at Oxford. The
observations of the noble and learned lord conveyed
what had been considered a reflection upon the university,
which, he said, had obtained certain grants from the public,
certain exemptions from taxation, and especially an exemle.
tion of the privileges given to the Queen's printer, on con-
ditions that they should devote a portion of the emoluments
to the endowment of the professorship of Greek. He denied
that when these privileges were conferred upon the Uni-
versity there was any stipulation for the endowing of the
Greek professorship, nor any stipulation for the endow-
ment of the professorship. Were the charge substantial he
he should be as ashamed as he was proud of his connection
with the University.

After a short discussion, in which the Lord Chaneellor,
the Earl of Derby, and Earl Granville took part, the sub,
ject dropped.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

For the time of year, the supplies of potatoes on sale at

small.

MARK-LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled very inactive, and in some instances a
further decline took place in prices. The spring corn trade
was dull, and the quotations had a downward tendency,
Flour changed hands at rather lower prices.
The amount of business doing in produce on the Conti-
nent and at New York for export to Great Britain is small,
and prices continue to give way.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English wheat
were limited, the imports from abroad amounted to 3,304
quarters of wheat, 3,088 bales, 13,002 oats, 1,327 beans,
5 peas, 132 tares, 9,862 linseed, 11,240 oilseeds, 3,000 maze,
5 sundry seeds, and 75 sacks of flour.

Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were very
moderate, but most samples were received in good condi-
tion. There was a decided improvement in the demand
both for red and white qualities, but without leading to any
advance in prices, compared with Monday last, At an
early hour the supply offered was disposed of, at the recent
fall in the quotations.
With foreign wheat the market was hut moderately
supplied. The improvement in the English wheat
trade induced holders to demand rather more money for fine
red AtLerican descriptions. On the whole, however, the
trade ruled steady, and last Monday's currency was well
supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request,
yet prices ruled firm. The supply of barley on sale was
seasonably extensive. The malting season is now over,
and the trade for grinding and distilling qualities ruled in-
active on former terms.
The malt trade was quiet at last Monday's currency.
The supply of oats was moderate. For nearly all qualities
there was a steady demand, at previous quotations.
Beans, the supply of which was small, ruled firm, at full
currencies.

Peas were in moderate request, and prices rued firm. The
market was scantily supplied with most descriptions,
For flour there was a moderate demand, at full rates.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, in proposing
" The Prosperity of the Royal Regiment of Artillery, ex-
pressed his sincere and deep regret at the recent loss the
regiment and country had sustained by the death of Colonel

share. He looked upon his untimely death as a national
lose, and he did not believe the Sovereign had a more zealous
or able servant than their lamented friend. The company

LATEST INTELLIGENCE

LREUTER'S TELEGRAMS.]

HEALTH OF THE POPE,

According to one Telegram, we read—" In spite
of the disc:ttimer of the Moniteur the Pope is
believed to be very ill."

According to another, under date "Rome, Wed-
nesday (via Marseilles). The Pope has left his
apartments, and is expected to attend the procession
at the fete of Corpus Christi,"
So that, in point of fact, the health of his Holiness
the Pope is so alarming that it is fully expected by
the latest accounts from Rome that he will assist on
Thursday next at the grand celebrations on the
feast of Corpus Christi ! In proof at any rate of the
exceeding accuracy of the reports of his serious re-
lapse, it is certain that he has recently quitted his
apartments !

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, MAY 23.
The Crown Prince of Prussia has left for Stettin
to assume the command of the 2d army corps.
His Royal Highness is expected to return this
evening.

A banquet is to be given at the new Palace in
Potsdam to-morrow in celebration of the birthday
of her Majesty Quen Victoria.

BOROUGH HOP.

Since our last report a fair business has been transacted
in good and One English hops, of last year's growth, and
prices have ruled firm. Inferior produce, however, is a
dull inquiry, and the quotations have a downward ten-
dency. The accounts at hand from the plantations are
very favourable. The bine is making rapid progress, and
is strong and free from blight. There were no imports into
London last week either from the continent or America.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled very inactive, and in some instances a
further decline took place in prices. The spring corn trade
was dull, and the quotations had a downward tendency,
Flour changed hands at rather lower prices.
The amount of business doing in produce on the Conti-
nent and at New York for export to Great Britain is small,
and prices continue to give way.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English wheat
were limited, the imports from abroad amounted to 3,304
quarters of wheat, 3,088 bales, 13,062 oats, 1,327 beans,
5 peas, 132 tares, 9,862 linseed, 11,240 oilseeds, 3,000 maze,
5 sundry seeds, and 75 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to-day, the arthala of English wheat were very
moderate, but most samples were received in good condi-
tion. There was a decided improvement in the demand
both for red and white qualities, but without leading to any
advance in prices, compared with Monday last, At an
early hour the supply offered was disposed of, at the recent
fall in the quotations.
With foreign wheat the market was but moderately
supplied. The improvement in the English wheat
trade induced holders to demand rather more money for fins
red Ateerican descriptions. On the whole, however, the
trade ruled steady, and last Monday's currency was well
supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request,
yet prices ruled firm. The supply of barley on sale was
seasonably extensive. The malting season is now over,
and the trade for grinding and distilling qualities ruled in-
active on former terms.
The malt trade was quiet at last Monday's currency.
The supply of oats was moderate. For nearly all qualities
there was a steady demand, at previous quotations.
Beans, the supply of which was small, ruled firm, at full
currencies.
Peas were in moderate request, and prices rued firm. The
market was scantily supplied with most descriptions.
For flour there was a moderate demand, at full rates.

MEXICO.

The Mercantile Chronicle, published in Panama,
on the 6th July, says :—" By way of Guatemala we
learn that the state of Chiapas is determined to
resist the regime of the Empire. In that and other
Southern States of Mexico the Republican Govern-
ment is the only one recognised, and the inhabi-
tants are resolved to resist, at all hazards, the armies
of the intervention. General Porfirio DLIz was at
Nan with a large force.

CANADA.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

The Canadian Mail steamer Nova Scotian, Capt.
Graham, which left Quebec on the 16th inst., arrived
in the Mersey this afternoon.
The Hon. Mr Brown had been re-elected with-
out opposition as a member of the Canadian Par-
liament.

The Quebec Chronicle says:—" We are glad to
find that the general tone of the press of the lower
provinces is favourable to the action taken by the
Canadian Government during the recent Ministerial
crisis, and full of hope as to the result. The opinion
of our neighbours is the more valuable, because it
is uninfluenced by party bias. Wholly free from
the rancour of past differences, which, in some oases,
has prejudiced the judgment of several Canadian
journalists, the views of our lower province con-
temporaries may bo freely accepted as those of im-
partial observers. They look forwar3, in a spirit
of liberal and enlightened patriotism, far above:the
petty level of mere provincial politics to the esta-
blishment of closer relations between Canada and
her sister colonies of British North America, to
the formation of such ties as will combine national
strength and dignity with internal peace and com-
mercial prosperty. It is to be hoped that these
expectations may be realised, and that the recent
political events may contribute to the general wel-

fare."
The St. John (N. B.) !Morning News says
From the tenour of Mr Brown's remarks it would
seem that it is the intention of the Government to
send delegates to a convention of delegates from the
Lower Province, which is to meet at Charlottetown,
in a few weeks, and to England, to seek the
cooperation of the Imperial Government. The
step taken by Mr Brown in this instance is a bold
one , and few will doubt that his abjuration of party
alliances, in order to benefit his country socially,
politically, and otherwise, will be appreciated by
intelligent people generally." _

The coroner's inquest in the case of the St Hi-
Hare Buoge disaster has at length been brought to
a conclusion, their verdict being that the accident
was owing to the gross carelessness of Tom Birnis,
the engine-driver, and he was committed to take
his trial for the offence.
London, England, 1864-07-29

The Pursuit of the Murderer of Mr, Briggs,

By a telegram received yesterday from Liverpool, an-
nouncing the arrival of the Moss Rose, we learn that on
Monday afternoon, in latitude 51.16 north, longitude 10.15
west (about 60 miles south..wist of Cape Clear), she was
spoken with by the Victoria, fram London to New York,
The Victoria requested the Moss Rose to report her speaking
with her upon her arrival in Liverpool, The Victoria having
only got as far as the south coast of Ireland on the eleventh
day after she left London,it is thought probable she will have
an unusually long pas sage, and that both Inspector Tanner
in the City of Manchester, and Inspector Kerressey on
board the City of Cork, will have arrived out long before
she reaches New York, consequently news of the arrest of
Muller cannot be expected in England before the middle of
September. •
It is believed that the City of Cork steamer, with Inspec-
tor Kerressey on board, had passed the Victoria before the
latter was spoken with by the boss Rose. If the autho-
rities had taken the precaution of sending out a Govern-
ment steamer to intercept the Victoria it is clear that the
supposed murderer of Mr Briggs would be now in safe cus-
tody. It is the more surprising that this course was not
taken, as in the case of the ManninE,,s,it will be remembered
that the Lords of the Admiralty, on being informed that
two persons bearing the name of Manning had taken pas-
sage on board a ship that left the London Docks for New
York, immediately despatched the Fire Queen Government
steamer in chase down Channel. The ship was come up
with and overhauled without olifficulty off the Bill of Port-
land—the suspected parties were examinetand being found
not to be the Mannings that were wanted, the question was
at once set at rest. The Victoria had a fair run down to
the Chops of the Channel,
where she must have been de-
tained for some days by the coictrary winds that set in. A
despatch boat could easily lut:.vo overhauled her, and the
omission to do so left open
to Muller the chances of
escape that would have arisen had the ship put into any
harbour in England or troland, and still leaves
him in a position to avail himself of any opportunity of get-
ting off that the chapter of accidents may throw in his way.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 29.
The Atrato brings the following intelligence
from Central America :

In Nicaragua a scarcity of rain is complained of.
Both the pastures and plantations of coffee and,
cotton are suffering from want of water.

The peace of the country is said to be established
on a solid basis.
The cotton excitement continues in the Centml
American States. In Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Sal-
vador, and Guatemala the subject is said to be
occupying the entire public mind.
In Salvador a newspaper has been established,
whose object is to promote and make known the
industry and resources of the country.
The President of the Republic is still on his visit
in the Provinces, and has been received in all the
departments with great cordiality.
In the department of Sonsonate the cultivation
of sugar cane has been largely increased, and many
new plantations have been established. The politi-
cal state of the country is satisfactory.
The value of the exports of Guatemala in 1863
was 1,621,761 dols. The cultivation of cochineal is
fast giving way to that of coffee, sugar, and cotton,
The visit of General Carrera to Los Altos and
adjoining districts was well received.
