THE NEW METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Yesterday afternoon, a meeting of the Markets Im-
proveMent Committee of the City of London was held
in the Council-chamber at the Guildhall ; Mr. H. L.
Taylor presided.
There was a very numerous attendance of the members
of the committee, amongst whom our reporter noticed
the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, M.P., Alderman
Hunter, Deputy Holt, Deputy Cork, T. H. Hall, Mr.
De Jersey, and several other influential members of the
Court of Common Council. Several parties connected
with the trade were present, by invitation, including
Messrs. Giblett, Morgan, Collinot, Mr. Inspector Fisher,
and other gentlemen.
The meeting was not one of the ordinary kind, for it
Possessed this peculiarity--namely, it was specially sum-
moned for the purpose of exhibiting a model of the pro-
posed market to be erected in Copenhagen-fields, to the
parties mainly interested, namely, the salesmen and
others doing business in the live and dead cattle markets
of the metropolis. _ _ _

The model is a beautiful specimen of miniature ground
plotting, and exhibits a bird's eye view of the projected
