IRELAND.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.
THE DUBLIN CRIMEAN BANQUET.
The managing committee are making energetic
exertions to render this ovation worthy of the occa-
sion. Circulars have been despatched to almost
every influential person in Ireland, with a view of
obtaining support and pecuniary assis!aTice. The
general meeting is to be held on Monday in the
Round-room of the Mansion-house, and a large at-
tendance is confidently expected. There are, it is
calculated, about 4,000 soldiers on the Irish estab-
lishment in possession of the Crimean medal, but
of these it is estimated about 2,000, or one-half
only, would be enabled to assemble in Dublin, and,
calculating the expense of each man at ss.—tho
same sum as was allowed in London for the Guards
—5 )0/. would cover the actual expense of the din-
ing part of the programme, and au additional 1001.
or so ought, surely, to cover the contingencies inci-
dent to the occasion. It would be strange, indeed,
if in this the land of tributes and testimonials, en-
thusiasm rightly directed failed in the effort to
raise this insignificant sum towards a demonstra-
tion at which men of all creeds and parti( a might
for once mingle together without an apparent
chance of discord.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

We had only a moderate supply of beasts on sale in to-
day's market, and their general quality as very inferior.
Most breeds sold steadily, at prices fully equsl to those
realised on Monday. With sheep we were scantily sup-
plied, and the mutton trade ruled firm, at full quotations.
In lambs next to nothing was doing. There was a fair in•
quiry for both calves and pigs, the show of which was mo-
derato, at Monday's currency. Mulch cows moved off
slowly, at from ill, to 191. each, including their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP.

Picking has now become pretty general, and the growth
is proving very large. Several parcels of new hops have
sold here at from 955. to 130 s. per cwt. In parcels of last
year's growth scarcely any business is doing, and prices
are nominally considered lower.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 29th ult. in the
Debuts says :—" The late war was a golden age for
Austria, for during that time three-fifths of the
trade in the Levant has been carried on by Aus-
trian subjects. Now that peace has been restored
competition has again arisen in the markets which
for the last two years have been in our exclusive
possession, and many of our manufactured articles
have consequently fallen in price. We are also
threatened with a formidable competition in the
navigation of the Danube. This was formerly con-
centrated in cr hands, but the nr)nrinly is about be
wrested from us by the opening of that river and its
tributaries to European commerce. The future
therefore under these circumstances appears rather
discouraging for our manufacturers, and it is not
therefore surprising that the Government should
be every day receiving petitions for aid and protec-
tion against foreign competition.
A letter from Vienna of the 30th ult. says :
" Formerly the Austrian Government had ob-
jected to the landing of Turkish troops on the
shores of the Adriatic ; the Ottoman forces, in
order to reach Montenegro, were compelled to pass
over a long extent of country where the roads were
frequently impracticably. Now that we are as
much interested as Turkey in putting down revolt
in that country, the Turkish troops have been in-
formed that every facility will be granted to them,
and that they will receive every assistance from the
Austrian commanders."

end, to the Holsteiners an unwelcome conclusion,
by the High Court of Appeal in Kiel declaring it-
self incompetent to pronounce judgment in the
case. The trial itself took place on the 25th ult.,
and has for a long time past been looked forward
to with ''()Teat anxiety and expectation by numerous

bEPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH.

ADJOURNED MEETING' Or THE ELECTORI.
Last evening, an adjourned meeting of the Liberal'
electors of this borough was held at the Mitre .Tavern,
Greenwich, for the purpose of adopting measures to se
.cure the return of a Liberal candidate. At the time ap-
poieted .(seven o'clock), only four electors were present,
but ultimately these were increased 'to 24, the number
who constituted the meeting. The chair was occupied
by A. R. Bristow, Esq., who commenced the proceed-
ings by reading a letter which he had for warded in reply
to the communication of Admiral Sir J. W. D. Dundas,
declining to'become a candidate. In reply to questions,
the chairman then observed that no candidate was at
present in the field, which might be attributed to the
fact, that some time must nece,etarily elapse before an
election could take place. He should be happy to hear
any opinion or suggestion, but his own idea was, that it
would be better to adjourn the meeting until after
Christmas, as the paucity of attendance proved. that at
present trier,: was not much excitement on the subject.
Mr. LEWIS DAVIS, of Woolwich, said the electors of
that town were.perfectly quiet, and did not know where
to look. for a candidate. (Laughter.)
Dr. MOORE, of Blackheath, observed he was certainly
surprised the electors bad 'not looked out a candidate..
There were plenty of gentlemen who would - come for-
ward, if solicited. He knew that Colonel Sleigh, an
officer of reputation, and every way fitted to represent
the borough, would, if invited, declare himself a candi-
date. (Cries of "He won't do.")
Mr. LAING, in reference to the ballot-meeting held on
the previous Monday evening, said be thought that the
gentlemen who attended from London bit the Greenwich
constituency rather too hard. They were bad enough,
but not quite so bad as they were painted at that
meeting.
It was ultimately resolved to af4journ the meeting until
the first Tuesday evening in the ensuing year ; and,
oiler a vote of thanki to the chairman, the in-...sting
separated.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOTV.

The attendance yesterday at the cattle-show is sail to
have been greater than on any previous single day since
the establishment of the club.

The adjouined meeting of members of the club took
place at two o'clock, the Duke of Richmond presiding.
The recommendations mooted at the annual meeting on
Tuesday for the improvement of the club, by increasing
the prizes, &c., were unanimously adopted, and the
amount to be hereafter awarded will bo increased from
8501., the present limit, to 1,2001. Important additions
have been made to the money prizes in the Devon, Here-
ford, and short-horn classes; and distinct prizes will in
future be offered for Sussex cattle, Norfolk and Suffolk
polled animals, long-horned Loicesters,• Scotch horned
cattle, Scotch polled cattle, and Irish breeds. In the
sheep classes the prizes aro very much increased for cross
or mixed breeds. Long-wools not Leicesters, and short-
wools not South Downs, will hereafter receive an amount
of encouragement hitherto only bestowed on thoroughbred
animals. The pigs obtain their share of advantage, another
class having been added to those already existing. Thsre
will in future be four classCs, irrespective of breeds ; the
first of pigs not exceeding four mouths old; the second
above four and not exceeding eight; the third above eight
and not exceeding 12; the fourth above 12 and under 18
months old.

The sale of stock sincethe first day has progressed slowly,
possibly in some measure owing to the extremely unfavour-
able weather for the butchers; but it is believed that the
prospect of the great agricultural show in Paris, in April
next, may have induced many of the feeders to hold out
for prices which, under other circumstances, would not
have been dreamt of. In point of fact, the sales of prize
animals since the cpeniug day have been scarcely worth
mentioning. 'the close of the exhibition to-day will pro-
liably present a different state of things.
Among the business transacted at the adjourned meet-
ing to-day was the leasing of the show for a renewed term
of five years to Mr. Boulnois, the proprietor of the Bazaar,
at an increased rental of 200 L per annum.
