The Mitch sheep and calves continue to improve both
in weight and quality, but most of the beasts at hand since
Monday last have been in very poor condition.
There was a full average show of foreign stock here to-
day.

The receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were moderate, and a large portion of them came
to hand in poor condition. Prime beasts were, conse-
quently, in steady request, and, in some instances, prices
were 2d per 81bs higher than on Monday last-4s 10d hav-
ing been realised ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a
sluggish state, on former terms.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,200 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 9 Scots ;
and from Ireland, 600 oxen.
About 1,000 Irish sheep were in the market, and the
supplies of most English breeds were on the increase.
Their general condition, however, was by no means first-
rate. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state, but we
have no change to notice in prices. The top figure for
Downs was rs per 81bs.
Calves were in very moderate supply and fair request,
at last Friday's decline in value.
There was a steady demand for pigs at very full prices.

THE MERRIMAC.

SOUrEIAIVITTON, Ocr. 26.
The United States screw steam-frigate Merrimac,
which has been lying here for the last month, will
it is expected, leave for Brest on Wednesday next,
there to winter. The Mayor of Southampton will
pay a parting official visit to the frigate to-morrow
Captain Prendergast, the commander of the frigate,
has returned from a visit to Scotland and various
parts of 'England, and resumed command. Dur
ing his absence the command has devolved upon
Lieutenant Harrison, to whose courtesy some hundreds
of visitors have been indebted. Nearly all the officers
have had leave of absence, have visited the sights of
England, and have been highly delighted with the coun-
try, and with the kindness and hospitality with which
they have been treated. In consequence of the accou t-
of the Merrimac which have been published, a numbe..
of French and Dutch naval officer•+ have come from
France and Holland to Southampton on purpo-ie to in
spect the frigate. One of the French naval constructors
has also been over here and visited her. He minutely
examined her, and made copious notes of her peculia-
rities. A large number of naval officers from Ports
mouth have also paid the frigate a visit. Mr. Dallas,
the American ambassador in this country, was to have
paid an official visit yesterday, but was unable to do so
on account of some domestic uereavement. SJMO officers
of her Majesty's ship Shannon were on board of
her to-day, and a cordial interchange of civilities took
place between them and the American officers. Last
evening pest, about sundown, a small steamer with a
large party of ladies and gentlemen approached doe
to the frigate from Southampton, and moved slowly
round her, seemingly to let the party view the exte-
rior of the frigate. Captain Prendergast happened
to be on shore at the time. Lieutenant Harrison,
with his usual courtesy, sent a boat off to invite
the party on board. An answer was brought
back that Lord Palmerston desired his compliments to
Lieutenant Harrison. His lordship was much obliged
for the invitation, but as it was getting dark he regretted
that he and his friends had not time to see the interior
of the frigate. On finding that Lord Palmerston was in
the small steamer, Lieutenant Harrison immediately
went off to her to personally invite his lordship acid
friends on board. The lateness of the evening, however,
prevented the acceptance of the renewed offer. The
American officers still hope that his lordship, who does
not reside far from Southampton, will honour the friga.e
with a visit before she leaves Southampton Water.
Large stores of provisions were put on board the Mer-
rimac yesterday, preparatory to her departure. Some
of the officers of the frigate belong to distinguished fami•
lies in the United States.

The London public will shortly have the gratification
of burning coal raised within 30 miles of the metropolis,
close to a line of railway. It is expected that this will
reduce the price of coal in the metropolis 25 per cent.,
and lead, most probably, to further disooveriea.

TBE SURREY GAUDLNS CALAMITY.

Yesterday morning Mr. Spurgeon being too ill to
attend his services in his chapel, in New Park-street,
A
Borough, his place was filed by the Rev. exander
Fletcher, of Finsbury-circus Cha,:el. The preacher
made some allusions to the late calamity at the Surr
the
gardens.
The cry of fire was wholly groundless • Le-
building could not even be set on fire, unless tor'ches
were deliberately applied to the various parts of thu
building which were c-)nQtrricted of combustible mate-
rials. Then, as if this w,is not enough, there was raiesd
a cry that the roof was falling—a riot which was alto.
gether remarkable for the solicit! of its construction. It
his words could reach the ears of those who had raised
these erie., he would tell them that the blood of the
seven poor creatures who bad come e
tolso guilty av-
ing sported with the lives of ,Saturdaythousands ens
he of
thousands, of their fellow-creatures. On
bad visited all those who wera in the hospitals, and con-
versed with them one by one. Ile was rejoiced to find
them tranquil in mind, and recovering their bodily
health. Oae gentleman' who looked cheerful and well,
be found had broken his' thigh ; another had broken his
arm --both bones. The child who lost her speech he
found had recovered and gone home. One poor fellow
who was dreadfully bruised gave an affecting account of
the manner in which he was carried out and laid upon
the grass for twenty minutes wh le the others were at-
tendedup to ; some old man came to him and watched
over him till further relief arriv d. Ifs hoped
Mr.
Spurgeon would be able at an early day to address than,
and to resume his labours with increased efficiency.

REAvy Loss OF DIA3tOND:3.—A gentleman named
de Souza, who arrived off. Havre two days ago by the
Franc C.irntofs from the Brazils, in his hurry to land,
would not twit fir the turn if the tide, which would
enable the vessel to enter the dock, but landed
by a pilot, boat. In getting from the vessel into
the boat he let slip overboard a small box containing
diamonde, which hs hoped would produce him a sum of
200,000 f. A buoy was immediately paced to mark the
spot, an l an experienced diver was engaged to seek to
recover the lost treasure. In case of success he is to
receive I,ooof, and 100 f, if unsuccessful. He has
already made one attempt without result, and will make
another shortly.—Galignani.

TATTERSALL'S-SATURDAY.

The business of comparing on the " Cambridgeshire"
drew together a tolerable number of subscribers. Specu-
lation on this event was, however, somewhat limited.
Vengeance, Pole Star, and Coup de Main still occupied
the foremost positions, at the prices quoted on Thursday,
although Pole Star had the call of Lord Derby's horse
at the close. Merlin was in some request, at 12 to 1,
and Eloquence, who came with great force into the "city
market" on the preceding evening, was backed at 100 to
7 and 14 to 1, and 13 to 1 was the final offer against her.
The Poacher was frequently inquired after, and Alma,
on the strength of her Kelso performance, advanced to
16 to 1, taken. The other transactions were unimpor-
tant.

—Slavery or Death—Dksolution, Secession, or Eternal
Smash," the New York Times reports a banquet and pre-
sentation to Preston S. Brooks, the assailant of Mr.
Sumner, got up by his constituents of the Fourth Con-
gressional District of South Carolina, and given on the
3d inst., at Ninety six Depot, on the road between Co•
lumbia and Greenville, and about 205 miles from the
city of Charleston. The report says there must have
been 10,000 people there. The chair was taken by Dr.
Caine.
A Major-General M'Gowan concluded his speech by
presenting to Brooks a cane arid goblet, on the former
of which was this inscription—
" Use knock-down arguments."
" To the Hon. Preston S. Brooks."
Dr. Priestly then presented an orange-wood cane.
In his reply Brooks said, " For inflicting the punish-
merit upon Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, I have had
showered upon me applause and commendation from
every part of the entire south." He added, " I am by
no means confident of the election of Mr. Buchanan.
think it probable that John C. Fremont may be the
next President. I tell you, fellow-citizens, from the
very bottom of my heart, that the only modeC which I
think available for meeting that issue is ju•it to tear the
Constitution of the United Sta f.es, trample it under foot,
and form a Southern Confeden icy, every state of which
will be a slave-ho!ding state. (1 4oud and pro;onged cheer-
ing.) I believe it as I stand i n the face of my Maker—
I believe it on my responsibUity to you as your hon-
oured representative, that th a only hope of the South is
in the South, and that the only available means of
making that hope effective i s to cut asunder the bonds
that tie us together, and take our separate position in
the family of nations. The: io are my opinions. They
have always been my opinj.ons. I have been a dis-
unionist from the time I con Id think. I speak on my
individual r.,i2onsibility ; if :Fremont be elected Presi-
dent of the United States, I am for the people in their
majesty rising above the la w and leaders, taking the
power into their own hands, going by concert or not by
concert, and laying the stronl ; arm of southern freemen
upon the treasury and arch ives of the government."
(Applause.)

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.

Late on Saturday night, or early on Sunday morning,
a most daring felony was committed at the Cambridge-
shire Lunatic Asylum works, at Fulbourn, about three
miles from Cambridge. Upon laying the corner stone of
this building on the 30th Sept. last, a glass cylinder,
containing one of each of the current coins of the realm,
with a vellum scroll, on which was written the names of
the committee of visitors and officers, was placed in a
receptacle hollowed out of a large
storie, upon which
the corner stone, bearing an appropriate inscription, and
weighing at least half a ton, was placed ; this was also
secured by the brickwork and masonry surrounding and
built over it. The whole remained safe till Saturday
last. On Sunday morning, however, it was discovered
that two courses of the brickwork above the corner stone
had been removed, and supports placed to shore up the
remainder, supporting clear of the stone at least seven
or eight tons weight ; the corner stone was forcibly
lifted out of its place by some leverage. Brickwork was
then placed under it, so that a man's hand and arm
might be got into the receptacle of the lower one con-
taining the coins, and which, upon inspection, were found
to
he
of
coins,he heavy
t
have been abstracted. Frome the wilful manner in
ttt
t
which this most extraordinary and impudent robbery was
planned and executed there is no doubt that the per-
petrators were parties well acquainted, not only with
the
the
e robbers situation
o f
were the
not
containingby h
also with the brickwork and masonry. Tae wonder is
that
mass of brick work above the stone, as the shores put in
bu
fall
by them as supports, to enable them to remove the
courses of brick, was not strong enough to support the
weight, and consequently the buttress parted from the
portion of the main wall to which it was attached, to the
extent of an inch. Notwithstanding the labour and toil
which the perpetrators of this daring robbery bad to
undergo, it is gratifying to know that they have been
disappointed in the amount of booty which they expected
to find, the value of the coins being only 21. Is. Bd. A
reward of 201. has been offered for the apprehension of
the parties, and information given to the police; and ,
from the peculiarity of the marks upon the coins, there
is little doubt the offenders will be speedily brought to
justice. The damage done to the works is between 201.
and 301. It may be mentioned that a watchman is
usually upon the premises, but on Saturday night he left
at seven o'cicolc. The vellum scroll was afterwards found
~in a hedge on the grounds—cumbnagc independent.

THE MERRIMAC.

SOUTHAMPTON, Ocr. 26.
The United States screw steam-frigate Merrimac,
which has been lying here for the last month, will,
it is expected, leave for Brest on Wednesday next,
there to winter. The Mayor of Southampton will
pay a parting official visit to the frigate to-morrow.
Captain Prendergast, the commander of the frigate,
hai returned from a visit to Scotland and various
parts of England, and resumed command. Dur-
ing his absence the command has ~evolved upon
Lieutenant Harrison, to whose courtesy some hundreds
of visitors have been indebted. Nearly all the officers
have bad leave of absence, have visited the sights of
England, and have been highly delighted with the coun-
try, and with the kindness and hospitality with which
they have been treated. In consequence of the accouets
of the Merrimac which have been published, a number
~f French and Dutch naval offieere have come from
France and Holland to Southampton on purpose to in
spect the frigate. One of the Frenea ~aval c instructor.,
has alse been over here and visited her. He minutely
examined her, and made copious notes of her peculia-
rities. A large number of naval officers, from P les
mouth have also paid the frigate a visit. Mr. Dallas,
the American ambassador in this country, was to ha,d
paid an official visit yesterday, but was, unable to d so
on account of some domestic oereavement. S one officers
of her Majesty's ship Shannon were on board of
her to-day, and a cordial interchange of civilities took
place between them and the American officers. Last
evening past, about sundown, a small steamer with a
large party of ladies and gentlemen approached clo
to he frigate from Southampton, and moved slowly
round her, seemingly to let the party view the exte-
rior of the frigate. Captain Prendergast h ppene,i
to be on shere at the time. Lieutenant Harris n,
with his usual courtesy, sent a boat off to invite
the party on board. An answer was brough t
b ick that Lord Palmerston desired his complenents to
Lieutenant Harr son. His lordship was mums obliged
for the invitation, but as it was getting dark he regretted
that he and his friends had not time to see the interior
of the frigate. On finding that Lord Palmerston was in
the small steamer, Lieutenant Harrison immediately
went if to her to personally invite his lordship aid
friends on board. The lateness of the evening, however,
prevented the acceptance of tile renewed offer. The
American officers still hope that his lordship, who does
not reside far from Southampton, will honour the frigate
with a visit before she leaves Southampton Water.
Large stores of provisions were put on board the Mer-
rimac ye Aerday, preparatory to her departure. Some
of the officers of the frigate belong to distinguished fami
lies in the United States.

The London public will shortly have the gratification
f bu! ning coal raised within 30 miles of the metropolis,
(lose to a line :of railway. It is expected that this will
educe- he price of coal in the metropolis 25 per mt.,
rind lead, most probably, to further discoveries.

FRANCE.

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow-
ing :

1' On Saturday, at one o'clock, the Emperor re-
viewed in the Court of the Tuileries, and on the
Place du Carrousel, nine regimentb of the line and
three battalions of Chasseurs pied. who went
through the Crimean campaign. The regiments
were the 7th, 10th, 11th, 35th, 46th, 47th, 79th,
95th, and 96th, and the Ist, 4th, and 7th battalions
of Chasseurs.

"All these troops were commanded by Marshal
Magnan, having under his orders Generals of
Division Bourgon and de Ladmirault.
" His Majesty was accompanied by his Royal
highness Prince Frederick William of Prussia, by•
Marshals Valliant, 13araguay d'Hilliers, Canrobert,
and Bosquet, by Generals Niel and Fleury, and
by the Prussian officers of the Prince's suite.
" A detachment of the Ceut Gardes and a de-
tachment of the Guides brought up the rear of the
Imperial cortege.

'1 The Empress, surrounded by the officers and
ladies of her household, witnessed the review from
the balcony of the Salle des Marechaux.
" After having passed along the front of each
line the Emperor, followed by his cortege, placed
himself with his Royal Highness in front of the
Pavillon de I'Horloge.
" His Majesty then ordered the flags of the dif-
ferent regiments and battalions to be 'collected to-
gether, and in presence of these glorious colours,
torn to shreds by grapeshot, he with his own hands
distributed medals to the men.
" The troops then filed off in columns by divi-
sions with remarkable precision and ensemble amid
unanimous shouts of Vivo l'Empereur Vivo
l'lmperatrice !'
" During the review the Prince Imperial, who
was leaving the Tuileries, passed the ough the lines
of the soldiers, who loudly cheered him."

RUSSIA AND PERSIA.

The Nord of Brussels contains a leading article on
the recent statement that a Russian army, 50000
strong, was prepared to march on the Persian fron-
tiers. The Nord, whilst expressing its doubt of
this intelligence, alludes to an artiecle in the trede-
aty.
of Gulistan, wherein Russia engagd herself to
fend Persia in any case of urgent necessity, and it
thus states the intentions of the Russian govern-
meat :—" Doubtless the Shah of Persia might, in
the event of his being attacked, claim the execu-
tion of Article 4 of the treaty of
Gulistan,
and we are convinced that Russia would exercisell
her influence in order to establish a good under-
standing, in which all parties have an equal stake,
We, moreover, believe that this result is flow
what
could— she
--
is seeking to bring about at
Teheran. Th
menace which is said to be directed against R,.,1,,,e
land by Russia on the Persian frontierstherefore alone become a reality '
England forgetting her ancient in the event of
friendship towards Persia, and relations of good
the latter a threatening and' h maintaining towards
and then alone, do we believehostile attitude. Then
be forced to fill with loyalty that Russia might'
part which England has pretended to play in the
respect to the Sultan."

THE INCOME TAX.

The movement against the war ninepence is
spreading in Ireland, and probably will become
general before the meeting of Parliament. Dublin,
as a matter of right, leads the way, and the metro-
politan county meets on Tuesday next, in pursu-
ance of a requisition addressed to the High Sheriff.
The Mercantile Advertiser says :
"It gives us much gratificatiou to observe that a move-
ment has been set on foot in the county of Dublin, having
for its object to limit the amount of the income tax, to 7,1.
in the pound from April next. This tax has pressed with
much severity upon the general industry of the country, as
well as upon the slender means of hard-working persons in
every employment; and it is to be hoped that an impost
which the Legislature plainly never intended to extend
beyond the period abovenamed—the period of actual neces-
sity—shall not be suffered to continue any longer as a drag
upon the industry and enterprise of a people who were
only toq ready to assist the Government, in their need,
with brave men as well as with plenty of money to support
them. We trust the Dublin movement will be readily
followed throughout the country. We observe that in Eng-
land movements against the whole tax are being vigorously
organised. Energy and prudence are sure to succeed, at
least to the extent of effecting a reduction of an impost
which must necessarily be generally odious after a necessity
for it has ceased."
