METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
here, to•day, both as to number and quality. The demand
for it ruled steady, at full quotations.

From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland,
the receipts of beasts fresh up, this morning, were mode-
rately extensive. The general condition of this stuck, how-
ever, vi-as by no means first rate: The demand for nearly
all breeds ruled steady, at, in most instances, an advance in
the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d. per Sibs.
The primest Scots, crosses, &c., realised 4s. Bcl. per Blbs.,
and a fair clearance was effected.

The arrival of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Nottinghamshire comrrised 2,600 short-horns, &c. ;
from other parts of England, 500 various breeds; from
Scotland 50 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 500 oxen
and heifers.

With home• fed sheep, we were tolerably well, but not to
say heavily, supplied. The quality of most breeds was only
middling. The mutton trade ruled steady, at an improve-
ment in prices compared with this day seinnight, of 2d. per
81bs. The best half-breds sold at ss. 2d., and the best
Downs at ss. 4d. per Blbs.

The show of lambs was moderately goNI. Prime breeds
commanded a steady inquiry, at full currencies ; otherwise
the lamb trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.
The quotations range from ss. to 6s. 4d. per Blbs.

Choice calves were firm in price, with a fair demand.
Inferior calves, however, were a slaw inquiry, at late rates
We have to report a dull sale for pigs at late rates, viz.,
from 3s. Bd. to 4s Bd. per 81bs.

BOROUGH Hop.
Since our last report all kinds of hops have been in
limited request, yet prices, especially for good and fine
samples, have ruled firm. The plantation accounts are, on
the whole, satisfactory, but in the neighbourhood of Wor-
cester the crop will certainly be below an average.
BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Less extensive supplies of home-grown potatoes have
been on sale. For nearly all descriptions there has been a
good demand, and prices have had an upward tendency.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

(From the Illustrated London News.)

The will of Sir Launcelot Charles Lee Brenton, Bart., of
Montague House, Ryde, Isle of Wight. was administered to
in the London Court by his sister, Mrs, Isabella Stewart,
wife of Captain Edward Brenton Stewart, R.N.. there being
no executor nominated in the will, and Mrs. Stewart being
appointed the residuary legatee. The personalty was
sworn under DOO. Sir Launcelot Brenton graduated at
Eton and Oxford, and took degrees of 8.A., 1828, M.A.,
1831. He was the eldest son of the late Vice-Admiral Sir
Jahleel Brenton, Bart., who was raised to the baronetcy for
his naval services. The testator succeeded to the title and
estates in 1844, having married in 1839, Anna Maria
Mary, daughter of Major-General Chester; she
died in 1849. The will is very brief, and disposes of
his estate at Hyde, in the Isle of Wight, to A. Dent,
Esq , of Thurloe-square, London, leaving his
funded property to his (the testator's) sister, Mrs. Stewart,
subject to the payment of legacies to his (the testator's)
cousins, the three daughters of J. Brenton, Esq., of Fet-
cham, Surrey, and another legacy of small amount. The
will bears date 1861, and was attested by Drs. Lowndes and
Peters, M,D., both of Ryde. The testator died on June 13
last, aged 55.

The will of Joseph Thomas Cantrell, Esq., of King's
Newton, Derby, was proved in London the 19th ult. by the
executors and trustees, the Rev. W. H. Cantrell, M.A., the
testator's brothel, and Robert W. M. Nesfield, Esq. The
personalty sworn under £35,00C. The testator's family is of
ancient origin and distinction, tracing descent for upwards
of 500 years, and is associated wits that of Viscount Har-
dioge. I‘l r. Cantrell married Cecilia, daughter of the Rev
H. F. Mills, Chancellor of York, and grand -daughter of Dr
Markham, Archbishop of York. The testator survived his
wife, leaving a daughter, Cecilia Elizabeth, heiress to his
property. Mr. Cantrell had held, since 1847, the office of
Judge of County Courts for Derbyshire, having previously
been Judge of the Wirksworth and also of the .*staffordshire
Potteries Court of Requests. The testator attained to the
ago of 60, and died April last, having executed his will in
1860. His estates, real and personal, he bequeathed to his
daughter, to be held in trust by his executors, who are also
the trustees under the testator's marriage settlement, which
deed he confirms, subject to limitations, in favour of the
brothers and sisters of the testator's late wife. There are
tokens of remembrance left to friends and pecuniary legacies
to godchildren ; and to his executors, the Rev. W. H. Can-
trell £5OO, and Mr. Nesfield £2OO. All his printed and MS.
law books, except such as his daughter may select, he leaves
to the treasurer for the time being of the County Court of
Derbyshire, holden at Derby, for the use of the judge and
officers of that court.

The will of the Rev. John Burnet, of Grove-lane, Cam-
berwell, was proved in London by the executors, George
Whitley, Esq., of Addington-place, Camberwell, and Miss
Smith, of Pelican house, Peckham-road. The personalty
was sworn under £4,000. The testator was a Dissenting
minister of the Independent connection, and was rather
prominent as possessing very considerable powers of oratory
and highly esteemed for his piety and Christian %irtues.
The rev. gentleman has disposed of his property, part
of which was situated in Scotland and Irel ind, consisting
of reality and personalty, principally to his executrix, Miss
Smith, whom he designates in his will as his adopted
daughter. To his other executor, Mr. Whitley, a legacy
of £5O is bequeathed ; and to a servant who has been in his
service for the long period of thirty years, and whom he
mentions in terms of much regard, the handsome legacy of
£5OO. The will bears date the B,h of April, 1859, and the
testator died the 10th of June last.
