NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, MAY 29.—Since this
day week we have had about 160 head of cattle from the north
of Scotland, by sea, which are of the very best description of
meat, including three heifers of the Angusshire breed, which,
for symmetry and finished excellence, will be very difficult to
equal. One of them got the first :prize. at Forfarshire Agri-
cultural Society, and are exciting great attention here to-day.
They were fed by R. Scott, Esq., near Brechin, and are shown
by Mr. Swan, salesman, Edinburgh. There is rather a falling
of from the ',order counties, to which the quality is excellent;
with sheep the supply is short, but the quality is a full average.
and a good supply of lambs. The supply of beef will cote"
prise about :'5O head of beasts. Trade is by no means brisk•
yet all kinds are snaking more money, and all will be sold. The
