SIVIITLWIELD.
For the time of year our market to-day was but mode-
rstely supplied with beasts, both as to number and
quality. The attendance of buyers was small, yet the
primeat Scot 4 moved off steadily at fully Monday's quota-
tion. In di other breed, very little business was trans-
acted, at barely stationary prices. The number of
Sheep were seasonably extensive. The best old Downs
supported previous rates, but all other kinds of Sheep
Were s,mewhat lower to purchase. Lambe, the supply
of which was but moderate, moved off slowly at late
figures, viz., from 4s to 5s per 81bs, There was a de-
cided incres-e in the supply of Calves. The Veal
trade ruled heavy, and prices were not supported. In
Pigs very little hu,iness was transacted. Mitch Cows
Were very dull at iron' 141 to ISI each, including their
null calf.

Rop-picking hes now become gent ral. We have
already received nearly 3,000 pickets of tho present
year's growth, of full averege quality. The reports
from the various districts state that the duty will not
exceed 90,0001. or 95,0001, at which sum it is backed
this morning. As yet very little business has been
transacted in New Hops, the prices asked for which are
from 51 to 81 per cwt as in quality. With yearling and
old Hops we are fairly supplied; but the amount of
business passing in them is so trifling, that the quota-
tions are almost nominal.

INSTRUCTIONS for the MEDICAL
VISITORS OF THE CITY OF LONDON.
The folio ing excellent instructions have been
issued from the medical committee at Guildhall, of
which Mr. Simon is chairman :
" All persons suffering with bowel complaints,
nawever slight, or with sickness or other unusual
ailment, are earnestly requested to procure immediate
assistance, either from their ordinary medical
advisers or from the medical officers of the district,
whose surgery will be open day and night for dis-
pensing all necessary medicines.
" JOHN SIMON, Officer of Health for the
city of London, Chairman."
" INSTRUCTIONS.
" It will to his duty to visit every house in the
district assigned to him by the ordinary medical
Officer of the locality once each day at the least, and
Wherever several families inhabit one and the same
house it will be his duty at each visit to see one
adult member at least of every such family.
" These visits should be made as early as possible
la the day, and the severer cases of indisposition
should be revisited in the afternoon (or as early and
as often as may be necessary), in order to ascertain
the result of the treatment adopted.
" The medical duties of the visitor are restricted
to the treatment of diarrhoea and other premonitory
sYmptoms. So soon as any case shall have passed, or
!hall appear to be on the point of passing into cholera,
It shall be the visitors' duty immediately to transfer
the case to the ordinary medical officer, and to take
Care that the latter officer be apprised thereof without
delay;
" The visitor shall be provided with medicines
suitable to any emergency likely to fall within his
observation ; but in cases of no urgency he shall
Prescribe, and shall refer the patient to the depot of
his district, where medicine may be procured.
" The visitor shall take notes of the particulars
specified in the tabular form with which he will be
furnished, and at the close of each day's visitation he
shall communicate this return to the ordinary medical
Officer with whom he acts, and shall receive that
Officer's directions for the next day's visitation.
" Toe visitor shall insert in his return a notice of
every locality where cleansing (either external or
internal) shall aear requisite, and wherever he shall
find the condition of a house irremedially bad, or the
Inhabitants so densely crowded as to endanger life, he
shall mike this the subject of a special report.
" Especially he should impress on the persons with
whom he communicates the extreme danger of neg-
lecting diarrhoea, and the necessity of obtaining
medical advice as speedily as possible.
" He should likewise explain to them the arrange-
ments for medical relief which prevail in the district,
and should see that they know the residence of the
ordinary medical officer ; so that in case of any sudden
seizure in the intervals of his own visitation there may
be no ignorance of the best course fur procuring me-
dical assistance.

"Jo H x Sim" Officer of Health."

If we take death and eternity into our reckoning,
our avarice, whether ambitious, or more sordidly rapa-
cious, receives at last much the same reward ; for how-
ever great may be our conquests, and numerous our
habilatious, death levels them, and eternity retains us
among their ruins.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
GREEN-STREET FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.—The annual show of this society took place on
Friday, the 14th instant. Among the company we
noticed Sir T. M.ontressor, the Hon. Mrs. Lushington, J.
R. Neame, Esq., J. Bailing, Esq , and tamily, E. Blax-
land, Esq., Mrs. Hawley, Mrs. Lake (Wood-street), Miss
Lake (Newlands), Mrs. Hordern, the Revs. C. Wheeler,
J. Radcliffe, J. Hamilton, W. Bower, and F. A Crooke,
Jkfferys, Lq., and numerous others of the elite of the
neighbourhood. The productions were far superior to
any exhibited within the last 14 years. There was a
marked deficiency in the wall fruits, but a large increase
in the cottager's allotments, and of an improved nature.
The potatoes and other vegetables were considered very
good. The floral devices by the Messrs. Fairbeard were
excellent.—Kentish Observer.
Let those who are appointed to judge of the cha-
racters of others, bear in mind their own imperfections,
and rather strive by sympathy to soften the pang arising
from a conviction of guilt, than by misreprescniation to
increase liza Cook's Journal.
Prince Canino has declined to accept the invitation,
to a soiree proposed to be held in his honour at Birming-
ham On Monday next.
Our talented fellow-countryman, llogan, has ar-
rived in town from Rome; and we believe we may ex-
Pact soon to see in this city several of the works which
enrich the Irish sculptor's studio in the Vicolo St. Gia-
como.—Dublin Press.

The celebrated floating island in Derwentwater
liPswiek, which is one of the marvels of this dis-
trict, made its " first appearance this season" on Thurs•
day last, and has excittd much curiosity among the vial-
cu.—Cumberland Pacyutt.
