METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The show of foreign beasts—the arrivals from Spain and
Portugal having been large—was extensive, of sheep and
calves moderate. Sales progressed slowly at barely late
rates.
From our grazing districts, as well as from Ireland and
Scotland, the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were
seasonably extensive, and in fair average condition. Most
breeds moved off slowly at a decline in the quotations, com-
pared with Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The highest figure
for the best Scots and crosses was 6s per Sibs.
The receipts from N.prfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, comprised 700 Scots, &c.; from Lincolnshire,
Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, 1,800 short-horns,
Bcc.; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds,
from Scotland, 100 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland;
180 oxen and heifers.
There was a full average number of sheep in the pens in
good condition. Prime downs and half brads commanded
a steady sale at full currencies—the top figure being 58 2d
per Blbs, otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state
at barely stationary prices.
Lambs were in moderate supply and fair request at
Thursday's quotations—viz., from 5s 4d to Os 4d per
81bs. There were 500 Irish lambs on offer.
Calves were very dull at barely late rates. The top figure
was 4s 8d per 81bs.
The pork trade was in a sluggish state at last week's
prices.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

M ARL BO ROUGH. STREE T.
APPREHENSION OF THE LATE CLERK TO THE EVERTON
BOARD OF GUARDIANS ON THE CHARGE OF EMBEZZLE-
MENT TO THE EXTENT OF X 1,000.— James Smith, alias
Charles Steward, late clerk to the Everton Board of Guar-
dians, was brought up by Sergeant James Thomson, of the
detective police, Scotland-yard, on a warrant, signed by one
of the Liverpool magistrates, charging him with embezzling
the sum of £56 16s. belonging to the township of Everton,
Sergeant Thomson stated that about 10 days ago the war-
rant for the apprehension of the prisoner was placed in the
bands of the detective police by a Liverpool officer sent to
town for the purpose, and from inquiries he (Sergeant
Thomson) made he ascertained that the prisoner was a
betting man, and well known at a sporting house in Soho.
By means of stratagem he succeeded in learning that the
prisoner was living at 32, Prescot-street, Whitechapel.
He went there on Saturday last, and Upon being told that
the prisoner was out he waited his arrival. In the evening
he again went to the house, knocked at the door, and asked
for the prisoner. The landlady assured him that the pri-
soner had not come home, but he (Sergeant Thomson) being
unwilling to be thus put off, determined to search the house,
and upon doing so found the prisoner secreted under a bed
in the back attic.

Mr. Tyrwhitt then remanded the prisoner to Liverpool.
Sergeant Thomson then handcuffed his prisoner, prepa-
ratory to sending, him to Liverpool.
The prisoner, whose defalcations amount to upwards of
£l,OOO, appears to be a determined and powerful fellow,
and was on tho point of leaving for the Continent the day
he was captured.
