METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with
foreign stocks. The beasts came to hand in middling con-.
dition ; but the quality of the sheep and calves was good
The demand ruled steady, and prices had an upward
tendency.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up exhibited a demand when compared, with; several
previous weeks. The supply from Ireland and Scotland
was moderate for the time of yoar, and the geneial quality
of the stock was by no means first-rate. Some of the beasts
from Scotland, however, were in prime condition. Nearly
all breeds commanded a steady sale, at an advance in the
quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81ba. and
at which a good clearance was effected. The best Scots
realized 5s 2d per Blbs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we reeeived 1,000 shorthorns, &c.; from Norfolk,
200 Scots and crosses; from other parts of England, 700
various breeds; from Scotland, 170 Scots and crosses; and
from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers.
The show of sheep was limited as to number, but the
quality of most breeds was good. The mutton trade was
firm, and, in some instances, prices advanced 2d per Blbs.
The best Downs and half-breds realized 53 10d per Sibs,
without difficulty. _ . .

The supply of calves was small, and the veal trade was
firm, at 2d per Sibs more money. The top figure was 4s

10d per Sibs.
There was an improved
enhanced rates.

The Fatal Accident at Islington.—This Day.

The coronet's inquiry into the circumstances at-
tending the death of John Peake and Joseph
Pearce, which resulted from the fall of a newly
erected building in Upper-street, Islington, was
opened this morning at the Lanadown Music Hall,
Islington-green.
The witnesses examined up to the time of our
going to press merely deposed to those facts already
known. It was generally expected that the in-
quiry would be adjourned, in order to allow further
time for a minute examination of the manner in
which the budding was carried on.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

The adjourned November sessions of the Central Criminal
Court commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor
Recorder, and Sheriffs.
There are 118 prisoners for trial.
Thejßecorder, in:charging the Grand Jury, said the num-
ber of prisoners awaiting trial was not more than usual,
considering the time that had elapsed since the adjournment
of the court. The cases were all of the ordinary description.
Theye were two charges of child murder, in which the
question they would have to deal with was, whether the
children were born alive. There was also an inlictment
against a person named Shorter, who stood charged with
attempting to poison a young woman, and another
against a person named Blundell, who was
indicted for attempting to drown a boy in the river Thames,
but the evidence did not present any peculiarity, and there-
fore he need not detain them from the commencement of
their duties.
The grand jury then retired.
