GOOD FRIDAY

Notwithstanding that the weather yesterday was
less agreeable than on some previous Good Fridays,
owing to the- strong easterly wind which prevailed,
yet thousands of the metropolitan inhabitants availed
themselves of the conveniences afforded by many of
the principal lines of railway leading out of London.
The Brighton Railway Company advertised an ex-
cursion train to Brighton and back at fares of 3s. 6d.,
ss. 61, and 7s. 6d. each. The holiday folks who
were not afraid of the piercing Wind mustered in
strong force at:the London-bridge terminus, and whe n
the first train (down) left at 8 o'clock, A AL, every
carriage composing the train was filled with persons
of both sexes. The up-trains brought a corresponding
number of persons who were anxious to see some of
the numerous sights in London.
The directors of the South-Western Railway
offered to holiday seekers a journey out and in at
single fares and a small booking charge. Ttie moment
the doors of the station were opened in the morning,
a great crowd was in waiting, and the first train
down, as well as each succeeding train, until an ad-
vanced hour in the afternoon, steamed away with
hundreds of the metropolitan residents, who were
anxious to inhale a hearty blow of fresh air. The
number who proceeded to Kingston, Hampton-court,
and by the loop line, was larger than on any previous
festive occasion, at such an early part of the year.
On the South-Eastern line the different trains that
left!London-bridge yesterday morning, for stations
beyond five miles from town, were literally crowded
with passengers. Reduced fares for travelling by this
line were announced for Good Friday, Easter Sunday
and Monday.
The trains on the Greenwich Railway carried an

immense number of persons.
As usual on such occasions, the numerous fleet of
river steamers were brought into active operation by
the holiday makers. The Diamond Company's packet,
the Ruby, started for the first time this season, and
conveyed a goodly company to Gravesend; several
frebh boats commenced running to Greenwich and
Woolwich. The Chelsea boats ran every ten minutes,
and, with the penny Westminster and the halfpenny
steam boats, were abundantly patronised.
The new steam-boat pier erected on the Snrrey
side of Hungerford Suspension-bridge, in connexion
with the South-Western Railway, was opened yes-
terday for the use of the public. The Iron and
Citizen Companies' boats continued calling throughout
the day, landing passengers for the trams from all
places between Chelsea and London-bridge. Passen-
gers were also ferried by steam-boats to and from
Temple-bar-pier and Westminster-bridge-pier Mid-

Tho annual meeting of the Westmoreland and Cum-

end bcientitic manner, stripped of all grossness and
brutality, took place yesterday at Hornsey-wood Ta-

the natives of the above counties. There was great com-
petition for the prizes. and the sports did not conclude

The play between Scott and Dixon for the final hea
was so nearly balanced as to merit, that no odds could
be obtained on either side; but it there was any differ-
ence at all it was in favour a Scott, who, it will be seen,
was as nearly as possible the successful competitor for
the first of the heavy end light-weight prizes; and al-
though unable to carry off both honours, on leaving the
ring he was greeted by the loudest and most enthusiastic
cheering.
The heavy-weight prizes were then awarded as fol-
lows:—First prize (the champion belt and eight sove-
reigns), J. Dixon; second, A. Scott; third, Thomas
Whitfield ; fourth, James Johnson ; fifth, J. Baxter ;
sixth, Wilford Stoker; seventh, George Irving; eighth,
Corporal Dixon.
After the sports were concluded, a dinner of the
members and friends of :he. Club took place, at which
the utmost good feeling prevailed.
It ought not to be omitted to be stated, that the mem-
bers of the press received the greatest courtesy and at-
tehti,,n from Mr. Margetson, the secretary, In the

BARNET GREAT CATTLE FAIR, APRIL 8 AND 9
—As usual at fairs of this magnitude, where the supply is
very extensive and the quality of live stock shown very su.
perior, the buyers from both local and distant counties were
very numerous. At the opening of the fair on Thursday,
graziers commenced buying store beasts freely, the beat
store Devone, Herefords, and short-horns at 101. to 121. per
head; the Scots and Welsh, Si. to 7/. ; and all other breeds
that were good in quality met with good demand at equally
satisfactory prices to the sellers; but the trade for the mid-
dling and inferior class of beasts presented a less active ap-
pearance, the shortness of grass in the pastures operating AM
a great drawback both in prices and demand; and although
many were sold to effect sales, great abatements were made.
' Mich and down calving cows sold freely, 141. to 161. sac?!
In the sheep fair, wether hoggets made 30s. to 32a. er
couples, 84s. to 363. The horse fair was one coop oef
scene of activity throughout the day. Buyers for on horse,
