NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL..
Since Monday last very large supplies of country-killed
meat have been received up to these markets, chiefly by
railway, and which have had a depressing influence upon
the trade. To-day, the show of meat slaughtered in I,he
metropolis was good, and about an average business was
transacted, as follows :--

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the 10th states that M.
de Manteuffel announced in the last sitting of the
secret committee of the Second Chamber that a ,
treaty
.has been concluded with the Grand Duchy
of Oldenburg, by which a site on the coast, near
the mouth of the Weser, in the territory of the
Duchy, is conceded to Prussia for the establish-
ment of a port. The same letter states that M. de
Beust, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saxony, had
returned to Dresden, after having succeeded in his
negotiations for having Leipsick preserved as a free
port of the Zollverein for several years.

A WHEEL OFF MB EX.PRESS TE.LIN.—On Thursday
the express from London to Edinburgh narrowly
escaped a smash. As the train was passing Amber at
station at its accustomed high speed, one of the wheels
of the last carriage next to the behind break flew
off. The train continued its course, and the station-
master immediately telegraphed to Derby, and also
sent a pilot engine after the express, fearing that an
accident would occur. The guard in the behind van
saw that something was wrong, and applied his break
as a signal to the driver, but the train ran a mile and
a half past Ambergate before it stopped. The train was,
we believe, taken on cautiously to Wingfield station,
where the carriage was changed, and the passengers thus

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian Correspondenz contains an import-
ant article on Austrian finances. It says that the
Government will not contract any new loan at
present. Other means will be found to cover the
deficit.

First. To reserve the amount of State paper
currency within the fixed maximum of 150 mil-
lions.

Secondly. The sale of hypothecated assignats on
salt mines, in completion of the fixed 40 millions.
Thirdly. A special credit opened for payments
abroad.

Fourthly. More speedy and extended available-
ness of all moneys in the State coffers.
The article finally confirms the recent great in-
crease in the revenue of the State.

The arrivals of stock from Ireland last week direct by
sea were 22 beasts, 16 calves, and 40 pigs.
To-day's market was very scantily supplied with foreign
stock, but the fresh receipts of beasts from our own grazing
districts were considerably on the increase, and of full
average quality. Notwithstanding that the attendance of
buyers was good, the beef trade was in a depressed state,
at barely Friday's depression in the quotations of 2d per
81bs. The primest Scots sold at 4s 8d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,200 Scots and short-horns ; from the northern
districts 730 short-horns, and from Scotland 600 horned
and polled Scots.

Notwithstanding that the numbers of sheep were corn.
paratively small, the sale for all breeds ruled very inactive
at Friday's decline of 2d per Blbs. The supply of diseased
sheep was not so large as on Monday last.
—With calves wa were scantily supplied ; nevertheless
the veal trade ruled heavy, and prices were not suMited.
The top.figure was 5s per 81bs.

Pigs were in full average supply, aud sluggish demand
at barely last week's currency.

SUSPENSION.—The suspension of Messrs. P. Mon-

. t
establish-
ments F. s and London, was announced yesterday.
. r
The total liabilities of the joint houses are stated at
of which 40,000/. will fall in London. For
the firm have pursued the objectionable system
!cO,
some time
of having no resident partner on this side, but in the
present instance the creditors are not likely to suffer
from that circumstance, the manager in charge being
understood to have endeavoured to limit his transactions
as much as possible, and to have avoided the reckless
use of credit which might have been still open to him.
The causes of the stoppaee are understood to have partly
arisen from a loss of 15,0001. by the forgeries of Ferdi-
nand Pries at the commencement of last year, followed
by unsuccessful transactions in French securities. Under
favourable circumstances a hope of 10s. in the pound is
expressed, but it seems to be admitted that much man-
agement will be required to realise that amount, and
that the result may be much worse.
MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Many of the most
celebrated characters are here represented who have
distinguished themselves in various branches of learning
as well as war ; and of the latter, those figures which
are among the most prominent for public favour may be
classed the chief monarchs who stand most forward in
the destinies of Europe. They consist of the Emperor
of Russia, the Sultan of Constantinople, and the Em-
peror of the French. All three have been taken from
the best sources, and are most excellent likenesses. The
whole are represented in their usual military costumes,
decorated with their various orders of merit.

SECRETAB.Y.—CharIes Iloghton, Esq,

The Policies of this Company being indisputable (in terms of the
Deed of Constitution duly registered) are TRANSFERABLE SE-
CURITIES, their validity not being dependent, as in the case of or-
dinary Policies, upon the import of past, and perhaps forgotten oft-
en ostances, and office documents; Used as FA %ILLY PROVI-
SION'S, they relieve the assured from all doubt and anxiety as to
the future
This is a purely MUTUAL S'CIETY, the profits being divided

RAILWAY LIFE ASSURANCE, BY ONE PAYMENT.

This Company grants policies to ileinbers of their own Company,
assuring against death by railways on payment of only one suns of
four shillings per cent. Thus, a person aged 30, who has an ordinary
Assurance with the Company for 1001., for which he pays 21. 4s. Ild.
annually, may have a rallA ay policy for 1,0001. for one single pay-
ment of 404., payable in the event of his death by railway accident,
and in addition to the 1001. secured by the ordinary policy.

OATHS BILL.

Sir F. THESIGER asked the noble lord if he intended

MILITARY UNIFORM.

Mr. EWART called attention .to a statement made in

vernment 'whether, on grounds of general expediency, as
well as in justice to British officers, the propriety of adopt-
ing a similar system in the British army and navy will be
considered.

Mr. S. HERBERT said such a change would involve
great expense, but he hoped shortly some arrangement
would be come to by which it could be accomplished with'
advantage to all parties.

DUBLIN, MARCU 24.
Yesterday (Tuesday) morning a troop of the sth
Dragoon Guards, which had been for some time sta-
tioned in Clonmel, marched out on their way to Cork,
where they are to embark for active service in the East.
They were greeted on passing the Infantry Barracks with
three hearty cheers front their military brethren, and
were accompanied out of the town by a large crowd of
civilians of all classes, who cheered them on their way
after the true Tipperary fashion. The sth (or Old
"Green Horse") is believed to be one of the best disci-
plined cavalry corps in the Queen's service. Major-
General Cochrane, commanding this district, made his
inspection of the 633 (West Suffolk) Regiment yesteF-
day, preparatory to its embarkation for the seat of war.
A troop of the 3d Dragoon Guards arrived here from
Longford yesterday, under the command of Captain E.
H. 'rude!), and are quartered in the Royal Barracks.

obliged to take to take to their heels on board the
ships, in order to avoid being driven into the
Danube. In this affair the Turkish loss was 10
killed and 13 wounded. 80 Russian dead bodies
were found in the morning, and as many were
drowned. The Russian loss must have ex-
ceeded 100.

At Sistow an insignificant affair had taken place.
The Russians having attempted to make themselves
masters of an island were repulsed, the Turks hav-
ing lost one man ; the Russian loss also small.

from that., circumstance, the manager in Charge being
understooc to haveenileavoured to limit his transactions

The causes of the stoppa:e are understood to have partly
arisen from a logs of 15,000/. by the forgeries of Ferdi-

by unsuccessful transactions in French securities. Under

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market, coastwise and by land carriage, wore very mode-
rate; but there was several of Monday's unsold samples on
offer. Owing to the immense imports of foreign, the de-
mand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was heavy in
the extreme. To have effected sales is to 2s per quarter
less money must have been accepted.
Foreign wheat, the show of which was large, ruled ex-
cessively dull, and most kinds were offering at a further
decline of 2s per quarter.
Floating cargoes were quite neglected.
We had a dull inquiry for barley, at is per quarter less
money.

Malt was offering at is per quarter decline.
The oat trade was heavy, at 6d to is per quarter below
Monday's rates.
In beans, peas, and flour next to nothing was doing.

The supply of beasts in to-day's market was extensive,
and in but middling condition. On the whole, the demand
for most breeds ruled steady, at Monday's advance in the
quotations. We were but moderately supplied with sheep,
which moved off steadily, at full prices. Lambs were in
good request at 5s 4d to 6s 10c1 per 81bs. The sale for
calves was steady, at late rates. In pigs very little was
doing.
Mulch cows moved off slow

it is stated that, although valued at the
per acre, the estimate formed from an inspection in 1847,
the directors believe that much better terms on the
average can now be secured. Taking into consideration
the rates at which sales have lately been effected„ and
making allowance for the inferior and undrained loca-
tion, they consider 20s. per acre will ultimately be
realized. The rapid developmentof the province throughthe increased facilities of communication continues un-
checked, and in the Huron district so great has been
the competition to obtain favourable selections that the
settlers are known to have paid high rates of interest
to complete their purchases. It was suggested that, as
a lengthened period had elapsed since the last survey, it
would not be impolitic to take measures for arriving at
an accurate estimate of the value of the property, a
question to which the directors promised to give
attention.

the prevailing north and north-easterly winds. It has
had, however, a very beneficial effect in the neighbour-
hood of the docks and wharves, as there is scarcely a man
out of employment who is willing to work. The docks
and wharves are crowded with shipping, and the river is
nearly impassable from the Tower to the Lower Pool.
Accounts from the western ports state that a very large
fleet of homeward bound ships are detained in the Chaps
of the Channel owing to adverse winds.

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MIL HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,
wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer ;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp3rt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.
