METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Our market to-day was seasonably well supplied with
foreign stock, in but middling condition. Sales progressed
somewhat heavily, at barely last week's currency.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from
Scotland, the arrivals of beasts was moderately extensive,
and the general quality of the stock was good. Prime
Scots and crosses sold steadily at prices about equal to
Monday last. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish
state, and, in some instances, the quotations gave way 2d
per 81bs. The top figura for beef was 5s per 81bs., and a
total clearance was not effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,600 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other
parts of England, 500 various breeds ; and from Scotland,
200 Scots and crosses.
We were again well supplied with sheep, both as to
number and quality. Prime Downs and half-breds changed
hands to a fair extent, at full currencies ; but all other
breeds moved off slowly, and the currencies had a drooping
tendency. The best Downs and a few prime half-breds
realised 5s per 81bs.
Lambs—the supply of which was good—sold heavily, at
barely late rates, viz., from 5s 4d to 6s 8d per 81bs. About
100 came to hand from the Isle of Wight.
Calves met a slow sale, at last week's prices.
The pork trade was steady, at full quotations.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY,

Mr. Commissioner Goulburn was the Commissioner of
the day, but the cases were unimportant.

sheet. The debts are stated at upwards of £5.000,
amongst them is one of £9OO to the executors of Earl St.
Vincent. The assets in hand am ,unt to about £2,300.

Mr. Levy tendered a proof on some bills, dated LO years
back—the bills were not forthcoming, but the creditor pro-
duced his bill-book containing entries to support the proof.
Mr. LAwrance, for the assignees, opposed, on the Statute
of Lirui.ations, and eventually the case wa. adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
FATAL TERMINATION OF A CHARGE.-011 Mr. Tyrwhit t
taking his seat on the bench this morning Inspector
Charles Bowles of the C division mentioned to him the
particulars of the death of a person charged with drunken-
ness.

Inspector Bowles said that on Saturday night a tailor
named Charles Lewis. of 7, Hanover-place, Oxford-street,
about thirty years of age, while in a state of intoxication
was crossing New Bond-street with a friend when he fell
against a cab and injured his mose. He was at once taken
to St. George's Hospital, and the surgeon who attended to
him gave the following certificate :
" St. George's Hospital.
" This is to certify that Chalks Lewis is a patient, and
is suffering from a broken nose and is intoxicated.
FREDERICK W. MAUDE, House Surgeon."
Inspector Bowles said that the surgeon refused to admit
the man as an in patient, and with the view of taking care
of him he was taken to the Marlborough-mews station by
the constable (Ewer, 166 C) and charged with being drunk
and incapable, but some time after was bailed by a friend
and taken to his house, where about twelve yesterday ha

expired.
Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that it was a melancholy end of
the matter.

ALLEGED WANTON CRUELTY TO A DOG.—Elijah
Pain, a jobbing builder, 92, West •strtet, Soho, appeared to
answer the complaint of Mr. William Love, of the Royal
Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, charging
him with havidg cruelly illtreated a dog.
Mr. Love said the matter had been taken up by the
society on behalf of the owner of the dog, as he regretted
to say tne case, as reported to the society, appeared to be
of a flagrant nature. Mr. Love then called
Mr. Judah Lazarus, who (corroborated by his
brother, Mr. Samuel Lazarus, a butcher, at 12, West street,
Soho), deposed that on the 4th of June he was sitting in
the front of his shop with the dog, an old and docile one
and nearly blind, by his side, when the defendant passed
with a piece of wood about three feet long in his hand.
Atter the defendant had passed he returned and struck the
dog a violent blow across the head, causing it to fall over
and lie screaming in the street, the blood gushing from its
eyes, mouth, and nose. The dog was seriously injured,
and for some days cculd not hold up its head. He had had
the dog some years, and it had never attempted to bite any
one.

Francis, an officer of the Society, said he found the dog
on the following day in a very bad state, and it could not
hold up its head, but it was now quite well.
Defendant protested his innocence of wilfully ill-treating
the dog. On passing the dog he felt something grip him
by the leg, and turned round hurriedly and struck it with
the piece of wood, and then for the first time became aware
it was complainant's dog. He repudiated any intention of
wantonly ill-treating the dog.
The magistrate said he was inclined to believe the de-
fendant's statement that the dog bit at his leg. He thought
if the defendant had any cruel intention he would have
struck the dog as he passed it, and not passed it and re-
turned to commit the act of cruelty. It was clear, how-
ever, that he used unnecessary violence to the animal, and
for that he should fine the defendant ss. or seven days.
The defendant was locked up in default.
