SMITHFIELD.
The supply of Beasts on sale here to-day was moderately
extensive, and of full average quality. For most kinds of
Beef the demand was tolerably steady, at prices about equal
to those obtained on MondaY, and at which a good clearance
was effected. We had on offer 140 Oxen and Cows, 700 Sheep
and Lambs, and 26 Calves, from abroad. With Sheep we
were well supplied ; yet the sale for that description of stock
was firm, at fully previous quotations ; the best old Downs
producing 4s 4d per 8 lbs. Lambs, the numbers of which
were good, moved off slowly, at the late depression in their
currencies. The Veal trade was steady, at very full prices,
but Pigs were a slow inquiry at late rates. Mitch Cows were
dull, at from 161 to 191 each, including their small calf.

MILITARY FLOGGING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The account in yesterday's Sun of the fatal military
flogging at Hounslow is certainly one of the most horrible
cases of cruelty ever reported, and you may indeed ask, in
the language of bitter irony, " whether will Colonel Whyte
or his victim be thought to have acted in the most brutal
manner ?" I have but little doubt that " thousands of cases,
more wantonly and unmercifully inflicted, might be found if
the annals were searched," inasmuch as I myself have lately
read of two cases in which death has resulted from excessive
military flogging. The two cases to which I refer have not
been brought before the public in the way this has been, but
the particulars of them are contained in a printed official re-
port. I cannot suppose the present Commander-in-Chief to
be ignorant of the dreadful nature of the punishment of
flogging, or of the consequences that are liable to ensue ; and
therefore I think he would do well to act in the humane
spirit of his predecessor, the late Lord Hill, who, when a
sentence of 150 lashes was submitted for his approval, re-
duced the number to 100. Had be done so in this instance,
the life of the ill-fated soldier might in all probability have
been saved. Many thanks are due to you, Sir, and to other
gentlemen connected with the press, for the publication of
this shocking affair; and that you will not relax your efforts
in this great cause of humanity until the total abolition of
military flogging shall be obtained, is the earnest hope of,
Sir, your most obedient servant,
J. W. BOYES.
