SMITHFIELD MARKET, FEB. 24.

This day's market afforded bat an indifferent
supply of prime beasts, and the show of Cattle in
general was' not- very good the prices are much
advanced since our last report, if we except Mut-
ton, which sold at last price, and the trade for the
most part was not over brisk. The Haymarket was
tolerably
.well attended.; Hay has got up in price
since Friday's market;, Clover fetched last price; and
Straw has experienced a trifling reduction in price.---
We subjoin a correct statement of the. prices and
i!urnbei3 :

Beef ss. od. to ss tod.—Mutton ss. od. to ss. 6d.—Veal

SMITHFIELD HAYMARKET.

There has, been a novelty throughout • the whole
of the present-Lottery ; in all former, as the Lot-
tery. advanced, the price rose, and, in exchanging,
the holders of small prizes were obliged to give four
or five shillings and their prize for an undrawn
sin-
teenth. In the present it seems ',a person can ek-
change his Half for a Whole Ticket, or his Six-
teenth for an Eighth, by which means he may
eventually get double the Prize he originally ex-'
peed. _ .

- On Thursday the iron bridge just ereEted over the
new cut at Bristol, near the Bath Road, fell down
with a violent crash, and was shivered,into thousands
of pieees. Two men were killed, and many wound-
ed. No cause of the falling of
,this expensive fabric
has yet been discovered.

The LORb GIiiNCeLLOR devoted $.1:6 whole of the .
day to hearing Petitions in Batikrepteies.
IA. Petitioti'bad'been presentedin the time of Lord'
ELDON,' praying that a Bankrupt's Certificate might
be disallowed, on thezground that one of the credi-
tors
had received a' sum of 71.' as an inducement to
sign it. The allowance a the Certificate was of
course 'stayed: The Bankrupt now tiresented his
Petition, praying that the Certificate m'ight be can-
firmed, notwithstanding the fad-' above -stated ; and
he supported his prayer by an atifidal it, in which he / !
positively swore that his Solicitor bad given the
money to the Creditor without his laid:dedg,e, pri-
vity, or consent; and he therefore trusted his Lord;
ship would afford him relief. . i
After having heard Counsel, the LCCRD CHIN- ' •
CELLOR said, ' that had the Petition of. the Creditor'
alledged the'Bankrupt's kno:yledge of the i'
transac- - , ,
tion, he would not have attended to the denial of
the fad by the Bankrupt; but, as it was only stated ' .
in general terms, and the Bankrupt had disavoWed .
upon his oath all knowledge of it, he thought he
was entitled to the benefit of his Certificate. But;
in order to put the questien beyond all doubt, be'
should annul the present Certificate altogether,. and ' •
let the Bankrupt tender a new one toils Creditors, . '
If such Certificate should be signed by a due pro-
portion-
of the Creditors, -and particularly by the '
,;
Creditor who was stated- iti, have received the money, 4
he should have no hesitation in allowing 'it, and; ex-
tending to the Bankrugt all the-advantage-of its
. i
operation.--His Lordship- sat till four olelock, and
