METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

A fair average supply of beasts, in but middling eondii..
tion, was on offer in to-day's market. Very few buye r
were in attendance, and the beef trade ruled heavy at Mo rt_
day's quotations. We were scantily supplied with she( 0,);
nevertheless, the demand for all breeds was in a sluggish
state. In prices, however, no change took place. Ov ring
to a large increase in the supply of calves, the veal trade
was heavy; at 4d per 81bs less money. The best calms sold
at 4s 8d per Blbs. In pigs very little business was doting as
former terms, and much cows were much, neglected.

Per 81be to sink the offal.

THE WINE LICENSES AcT.—Yesterday Mr.
Villiers, of the London-road Music Hall, applied to the
magistrates, at the Newington Sessions House, for a wine
license. Mr. Stanley, of the Canterbury Hall, apposed
the application on the ground that the house in
question was not a refreshment house within the meaning
of the act. The magistrates said the clauses in the act
were very [contradictory, but under all the circumstances
they would grant the license.
SPECIE FOE AMERICA .—Yesterday the Liverpool,
New York, and Philadelphia Company's steamer Etna
sailed from Liverpool for New York, with mails for the
United States, 30 cabin passengers, and from £60,000 to

rican and United States mail.

--Several journals of the Austrian press, declaring
that the fall of Gaeta is inevitable, advise Francis 11. to
withdraw. " lie has done enough," says the Wanderer,
for honour; humanity imposes on him the duty of
renouncing a useless defence which can only cause the
shedding of blood."
