Select Committee of the House of Commons, and en-
titl, d " A Bill for providing a Metropolitan Cattle-
market and conveniences connected theresitb, in lieu of

The power of appointing five commissioners is vested
in the Crown—three of such commissioners to be a suf-
ficient number to exercise any or all of the duties of the
said commission. The commissioners are to be a cor-
porate body, and to have a common seal, and to them
will be referred the duty of selecting a site ft r the
new cattle market, subject to the approval of
the Secretary of State, and of constructing
slaughter-houses, meat-market, cattle pens, lairs,
&c., with proper and convenient approaches, and provided
with a sufficient water supply and drainage. The com-
missioners will regulate the 1;37-laws of the market, fixing
or altering the market-days and the hours for com-
mencing and closing the market sales, and preventing
cruelty and nuisances, with the power of inflicting a pe-
nalty, not exceeding 51., for a breach of any of their regula-
tions. They are empowered to let out and rent any of the
slaughter-houses, shops, stalls, and pens for a term
not exceeding a year, and they will fix a table of tolls
and market dues to be collected. As soon as the new
1 market shall be completed, notice will be given in,

commissioners, are to be presented to the Secretary of

important clause is the 30th, which provides, that from
and after the Ist day of December, in the year next fol-
lowing that in which the slaughter-houses are Opened by
the commissioners, no other place within the Metro-
politan Police district shall be used as a slaughter-house

GERMAN ART.—STATUE OF MADLLE. RACHEL.—
The works of Overbeck have been increased of late by some
important additions. Conversion of St. Thomas " is
intended for London. The series of fourteen pictures of the
Passion, which have to be published as coloured engravings,
next call his attention. The engraver is Bartolomeo Ban-
boccini. The picture also which Pio IX. has ordered of
Overbeck, for Monte Cavallo, is in a fair way of progress.—
A model for a statue of Madlle. Rachel bas been made by
M. Afinger, at Berlin. It will be executed in marble, by
order of the King. The actress is represented in Grecian
costume, the diadem-covered head bent forward in contem-
plation, and the whole bespeaking that nobleness and ideality
which characterise the original.—Builder.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Ointment and
Pills an excellent Remedy for Old Wounds, Sore Legs, and
Screfula.—Mr. Turner, of Penshurst, suffered for two years
from a dreadful sore leg, the diseased part extending from the
foot to the knee, and causing a severe scorbutic affection,
which spread over the whole surface of the leg. He tried
every available remedy without being able to heal, or even do
the least good whatever to it. At length he commenced using
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and to the astonishment of
himself, and others who had seen the dreadful state his leg was
in, these fine medicines effected a sound cure in about five
weeks —Sold by all medicine vendors, and at Professor Hol-
loway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

JOB AND POSTMASTERS' BEN.EVOT
LENT FUND.
The anniversary of the establishment of this institu-
tion was celebrated by an excellent dinner at the
London Tavern, last evening ; the Honourable Philip
Sydney Pierpont presiding, in the absence of tile Riht
Honourable Lord Strathmore, who wa s pm-cute:l being
present in consequence of a command to attend her
Majesty's ball. £here were about 300 -wityou N.

had no doubt that when they came to run in public'thb
would do great credit to their trainer.—(Loud laugh-
ter.) He was sure they were highly indebted to his
Royal Highness Prince Albert for having projected
the Crystal Palace, which would be well. worthy of
admiration even if it contained nothing but Wyatt's
statue of the horse trampling on the serpent—which was
one' of the noblest representations of a horse he had ever
seen.

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the Army and Navy,
and expressed the great satisfaction he felt in knowing
that there was a gentleman present who was not only
connected with the former service, but was a member of
their own body.
Mr. MALLALUE returned thanks. It was true that
he had the honour of serving throughout the Peninsular
war in the army, but it was only as a simple private; but
he could assure them that he had always telt es great
a pride in fighting for the honour of his country and
his then king as the most distinguished genotal or
colonel in the service.—(Cheers.) Forty-tour Or forty-
five years had passed since that time, but he should feel
equal pleasure in doing all in his power in defence of
the rights of the Queen.—(Ceeers.) In drinking the
health of the army, he felt that they had not Only done
honour to the service, but that they had done them-
selves honour, as they had in that toast drunk the health
of the greatest general that had ever existed, under
whom he had had the honour to serve—his Grace the
Duke of Wellington.—(Cheers.) lie regretted that
there was no gentleman connected with the navy to re-
turn thanks for that service, but he had great pleasure
in doing so, and he could assure them that whenever its
services were required, it would never be backward in
coming forward.—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said teat he had now to propose a
toast of the most important nature, it being the success
of the Institution whose interests they had met to pro-
mote. That they bad hitherto been successful was
shown by the fact that the society had only been estab-
lished twelve years, having commenced on the Ist of
July, 1839, and yet they had now, he was happy to say,
a fund of 9,3821. 2s. He thought that fact showed they
had no right to complain of the public liberality, or of
the public support which they had received; but they
had a right to complain of the want of support from
the members of the business who were met likely
hereafter to want their assistance.—(Hear, bear.) He
must say that those whom the society had bees estab-
iished to foster, the lower class of those engaged in the
horse trade, had not supported the society in the way it
had been expected, and h., should have believed they
would.—(Hear, bear.) From a statement he held is
16t
sh. e a funds
live nadrs f
3 ~
his hand, he found that there were now
s;). n
five annuitants who were receiving 9
while their whole available funds were only 127/. All
these parties bad been subscribers of 21. 2e. per annum,
but they had ell come on the funds R S soon as they
were eligible under the rules, or at the end of seven
years, so that for au expenditure of 141. 14s. the lowest
annuitant was receiving ,181. 4s. a year, and the highest
261.—(Hear, hear.) There was not a town of any irn-
portance—indeed there was no; a village of any size,
which did not possess one or more postmasters who
might by chance come upon their funds. These men
might be overcome by misfortune, and should they lose
one horse it would involve them in considerable distress,
while, should they lose two or three, they would be en-
tirely ruined.—(Hear, hear.) These were the men who
ought, while prosperity was shining
upon them, to sub-
scribe to this institution.—(gear, hear.) And if they
did not do so now they might depend upon it a bright
day was coming when, seeing their own interests, they
would all do so.—(Cheers.) He begged to conclude by
giving success to "The Job and Post Masters. Coach
Proprietors, Hone Dealers, and Livery Stable Keepers'
(ot Engkud) Provident Fund."—(Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said that he had now to propose a
toast which he was sure would require no preface, it
being the health of the Noble President, the Duke of
Richmond.—(Loud cheers.) His Grace had always
shown the great interest he took in the prosperity of
the society.—(Cheers,) His Grace was a nobleman of
whose patronage they might well be proud, for far above
the star which sparkled on his breast, or the garter
which he wore below his knee, he possessed a heart
which always beat within his bosom in unison with the
noble claims of charity.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BRICE PEARSE had been is the early part of the
evening requested to propose one toast, and now he found
another placed in his hands. He had to propose the
health of the vice-presidents, patrons, and benefactors of
the fund, and feeling that his Hon. Friend, on whose
right he had the honour to sit, was one of the most pro-
minent of those gentlemen, he felt it would be unneces-
sary to say a word in support of the toast.—(Cheers.)
The CIAIRMAN begged to return thanks on behalf
of himself and colleagues. He had been so often on his
legs that he was afraid they might fail him—(Laughter)
—and therefore he would only return them his best
thanks, and beg to be allowed to drink all their good
health:.—(Cheers.)
Mr. B. PEARSE again presented himself, and said that
he had now to propose a toast, which ho knew required
no preface, it being " The health of their lion. Chair-
man," who had, at the shortest notice, consented to pre-
side over them in the place of the Earl of Strathmore,
who was unavoidably absent. With respect to the pri-
vate character of Mr. Pierpont, he felt it was impossible
to say too much. He had longhad the honour of being
acquainted with him, and a more amiable or a more
straightforward man he bad never known.—(Cheers.)
As regarded the public character of the Hon. Gentle-
man, he felt that he had only to refer to the numerous
charitable institutions of the metropolis to show that the
Hon. Mr. Pierpont was never appealed to in vain.
The CHAIRMAN said, that he had before heard that
the effect of taking part in soavivial meetings was to
make people see double.—(Laughter.) He did not
mean to insinuate that the conviviality of that day had
bad such an effect upon his Hon. Friend, buthehaidu
certainly painted his (the Chairman's) character
terms which were far too complimentary.—(Cries of
" No, no.") Well, be that as it might, he felt delighted
by the compliment they had paid him, and would always
be proud to do all in his power to promote the interests
of the in sti t don.— (Cheers.)
Mr. JARDINE had been entrusted with a toast which
he was sure they would all drink with the utmost cor-
diality, it bein' the health of their worthy treasurer.
Mr. R. TATTERSALL returned thanks. lie regretted
that, owing to circumstances over which they had no
control, the members of the trade did not give that
support to the institution which they ought to do. On
this, however, they might rely, thataohesnor

Mr. HETHERINGTON returned thanks, and expressed
the gratification he felt at seeing the institution so well
supported on that occasion.—(Cheers.)
Mr. MILWARD proposed the health of the Stewards
which was acknowledged by Mr. Green, a he trusted that
their 9,0001. fund would be that evening increased to
10,000/., as five figures were more respectable than fot r,
and next year to 11,0001.
The CHAIRMAN had now to propose the health of
their Chairman elect, the Right Hon. the Earl of Strath-
more. It was rarely that a gentleman had two good
excuses for not attending to his appointments, but the
Earl of Strathmore, who was to have taken their chair
both this year and last, had so.—(Hear, hear.) Last
year, the Noble Earl was about to be married, sad he
was sure they would all ;acknowledge that to be a good
excuse for his not attending a public meeting—(Cbeers
and laughter)—and this year he had received a command
to her Majesty's ball, which was equally as good an ex-
cuse—(Cheers)—but he trusted that he would endeavour

LORD J. RUSSELL'S NEW. COURT OF CHANCERY
BILL.—The statements nt a morning paper that Lord John
Russell's announced Bill, to improve the administration of
justice
in the Court of Chancery and the Judicial Committee
of Privy Council proposes to associate the Vice-Chancellors
J. L. Knight Bruce and Lord
Cranworth as appellate
judges with the Lord Chancellor, is not correct. The Bill
Sir
will provide for the appointment of two additional Vice-
Chancellors, who are to take precedence immediately after
the Lord Chief Baron. It will be proposed that the new
Vice-Chancellors shall assist the Lord Chancellor in the
hearing of appeals, and exercise in his absence a co-ordinate
equitable jurisdiction. It will also be proposed to confer on
them a primary jurisdiction in bankruptcy. In addition to
these duties, a proposal will be made to empower the House
of Lords to avail themselves of their assistance in the same
manner as that of the common law judges is now afforded,
but without interfering with the existing power, to require
the aid of the latter. The new Vice-Chancellors will also
form a portion of the Court of the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council. In addition to these leading provisions of
the forthcoming measure, there will be others introduced with
a view generally to improve the administration of justice in
equity.
ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL, PADDINGTON.—The bulid-
ing of this institution being so far completed as to admit of
the reception of the sick, it was opened yesterday, and a
meeting of tte board was held, Admiral Percy in the chair,
for the reception of patients. The first stone of the building
was laid by his Royal highness Prince Albert, on June 29,
1845. It is intended ultimately to contain 400 beds, though
at present it is limited to 170.
