ran most gamely, caught his opponent 50 yards from
home, and won a flue race by half a yard.
Everson and Cooper, both of Woolwich, next ran 120
yards for £6. They went by report of pistol, Everson
with the best of the start. They cannoned two or three
times, when Everson came in first by half a yard. An
appeal of foul was male by Cooper; but as both were
equally in fault, tho referee, amidst groat uproar, awarded
the stakes to Everson.

The 120 Yards Handicap.—Por a silver watch, and
money prizes for second and third, given by Mr. E. Parker.
The competitors ran in heats, tho first being won by E.
Noyce, 22 yards start, after a good race, by throe-quarters
of a yard; Martoy, 16, second; Solrac, 10, close up, third.
Second Beat.—C. Allen, 22, won by two yards; A. Gage

second.

Fourth Heat.—J. Wood, 19, won on sufferance by nearly
three yards ; J. Lee, 15, second.

BOROUGH HOP.

We have no change to notice in this market. The de-
mand has been chiefly confined to choice growths, in which
a moderate business had been doing on former terms.
Yearlings and old hops have been neglected, and, in some
instances, less money has been accepted for them. Last
week's imports consisted of 31 bales from Boulogne, 1,280
Dunkirk; 340 bales, 32 bags, 59 barrels, Hamburg; 567

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

There was a falling off in the supply of foreign sorts on
sale here this morning. Nevertheless the demand ruled
inactive, and the value of beasts gave way 2d per 81bs.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts as well as from
Scotland the arrivals of beasts were on the increase, and
in very prime condition. The attendance of butchers was
only moderate, and the demand for all breeds of beasts
was very inactive, at a decline in the quotations compared
with Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots and
crosses sold at 5s per Sibs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire
we received about 2,500 short horns, &c. ; from other parts
of England 550 various breeds, from Scotland 291 Scots
and crosses, and from Ireland 180 oxen, cows, &c.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with sheep. Most breeds came to hand, in fair average
quality. Prime Downs and half-brads were in moderate
request, at full prices—viz., from 4s. 10d. to ss. per 81bs i
but most other breeds moved off slowly, on rather easier
terms.

The few calves in the market met a slow inquiry at
about stationary prices.
We have no change to notice in the value of pigs. The
pork trade was heavy.

WOOL.

The public sales of colonial wool are progressing with
more spirit. Foreign buyers continue their operations, and
a fair quantity of wool has been taken by the home trade.
Prices are firmer. For English wool there has been but
little inquiry, at late rates. The imports into London last

week consisted of 1,923 bales from Adelaide, 3,349 Cape
and 1,320 bales from Taganrog.

MARK LANE.
The country markets held on Saturday were /tithe
scantily supplied with wheat, which sold steadily at full
prices to a slight advance. Barley, oat=, beans, peas, and
flour commanded previous rates.
On the Continent wheat and most other kinds of pro-
duce continue iu fair request. In America both wheat
and flour have tended upwards, owing to the closing of
the canal navigation.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market, coastwise and by land carriage, were only mode-
rate and in very middling condition. Selected samples
were taken off slowly at last Monday's currency ; but low
and damp qualities met a heavy inquiry at irregular quo-
tations.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Sales pro-
gressed sluwly ; nevertheless, no change took place in

Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten-
ion.

Fine malting barley sold steadily, at full quotations;
but grinding and distilling sorts ruled inactive at late rates.
No change took place in the value of malt, the supply of
which was good.
Oats—the show of which was tolerably good—moved off
freely, at very full prices.
The sale for beans was steady, at prices equal to Monday
last.

Peas commanded full currencies, with a fair inquiry.
We have to report a slow sale for flour. In prices, how-
ever, very little change took place.
Seeds and cakes commanded very little attention.

:RAIL IV,

'GENCE.

LAKE SUPERIOR AND MINNESOTA RAILROAD

COMPANY.

The value of the Illinois Central Railroad Com-
pany, as an investment, was based by its original
projectors upon the presumed ultimate returns to be
derived from the sales of its lands, received as a sub-
sidy from the Government ; and it was generally
believed that, sooner or later, this would equal the
entire cost of construction of the road.

The land subsidy to the Lake Superior Road is
fully three times greater per mile than that of the
Illinois Central, being one million six hundred and

thirty-two thousand (1,632,000) acres for a road
only 150 miles in length, while its value in the
character of the soil, the heavy ship timber, and
the depoiits' of coal, iron, slate, and auriferous
metal in abundance thereon, permits no comparison
between theta acre by acre; and it is believed by
parties competent to judge, corroborated by the
United States' official surveys and reports--that,
with the road completed, the lands will be worth fully
worth fully double the entire cost of construction.
The shares have lately advanced in New York to
35 per cent premium, and, it is now contended, will
continue to advance, under this belief, to a very
much higher price.

We notice by the American papers that Messrs.
J. Edgar Thomson, of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company ; Samuel M. Felton and Isaac M.
Hinckley, of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Rail-
road Company ; J. Moorhead, of Jay, Cooke, and
Co. ; and R. Macomb, of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, have joined the direztion of
the Lake Superior and Minnesota Railroad Corn.
pany, and with their associates have supplied the
means promptly to complete thirty miles of the
road without any debt whatever, thus securing its
grants and subsidies so liberally extended to it by
both the United States and State Governments.

The prime motive, however, of the parties who
have taken this matter in hand, while stimulated by
its promised return, is to form a shorter connection
than now exists between the great grain region of
Minnesota, via the lake system, and the seaboard
over the Philadelphia, and Erie and Pennsylvania
Ittil way lines.
It is well known that the finest wheat of the
United States comes from S.W. Minnesota, but it
is not so well understood that wheat at St. Paul,
via this route, is nearer the seaboard than when
carried 460 miles, as at present, it has reached Chi-

cago.

Another motive is the direct connection with the
Northern Pacific Road, which will without a doubt
receive a new and substantial subsidy from the
United States Government at the present session of
Congress. We shall have occasion to refer to these
matters hereafter when more fully developed.

THE GREAT CHRISTMAS CAT £LE SHOW.

AWARD OF THE PRIZES THIS DAY.

The Great Christmas Exhibition of the Smith-
field Cattle Club commenced to-day at. the Agri-
cultural Hall. The number of beasts exhibited
greatly exceedtd that of last year; and, in the
opinion of those competent to form an opinion, the
show this year came up to the average. One of the
notable facts we have to record is that her Majesty
the Queen this year exhibited in her own name,
and, as will be seen, carried off a large number of
prizes. The arrangements of the club, on this the
private view, prevented an inspection of the stock,
owing to the reporters being confined to the gal-
leries, so we have to content ourselves with merely
on this occasion to give the names of the successful
competitors.
The judges were as follows :—Cattle : G. Baker,
Orwell Park, Ipswich; Chas. Randell, Chadbury;
Evesham; C. Vevers, Leominster; William Torr,
Aylesbury Manor ; Edward Bowley, Siddington
House ; and George Drewry, Holker Grange,
Lancashire. Sheep : T. Brown, Marham ; Benj.

So brilliant has been the success of Offenbach's " Robin-
son Crusoe" at the Opera Comique, and so enthusiastic have
been the praises awarded it, some courage is required to
speak the truth concerning it. Yet, in fact, it has been much
overpraised. It is far from the best of Offenbach's works
A few very sparkling and brilliant morceaux it contains. As
a work, however, it is long, pretentious, and empty.
" Voluntarily, conscientiously, and with much pleasure
we recommend to our readers the Pain Killer. We speak
from our own observation and experience when we say
that it removes pain as if by magic from all parts of the
body, and is one of the best medi ines in use for checking
diarrhoea and removing the premonitory symptoms of
cholera. It is used both internally and externally, with
the best effects, and none who have once tried it would
willingly be without it constantly in their houses."--

35 per cent premium, and, it is now contended, will
continue to advance, under this belief, to a very
much higher price.

We notice by the American papers that Messrs.
J. Edgar Thomson, of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company ; Samuel M. Felton and Isaac M.
Hinckley, of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Rail-
road Company ; J. Moorhead, of Jay-, Cooke, and
Co. ; and R. Macomb, of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, have joined the direction of
the Lake Superior and Minnesota Railroad Com-
pany, and with their associates have supplied the
means promptly to complete thirty miles of the
road without _any debt whatever, thus securing its
grants and subsidies so liberally extended to it by
both the United States and State Governments.

The prime motive, however, of the parties who
have taken this matter in hand, while stimulated by
its promised return, is to form a shorter connection
than now exists between the great grain region of
Minnesota, via the lake system, and the seaboard
over the Philadelphia, and Erie and Pennsylvania
Railway lines.
It is well known that the finest wheat of the
United States comes from S.W. Minnesota, but it
is not so well understood that wheat at St. Paul,
via this route, is nearer the seaboard than when
carried 460 miles, as at present, it has reached Chi-

sago.

Another motive is the direct connection with the
Northern Pacific Road, which will without a doubt
receive a new and substantial subsidy from the
United States Government at the present session of
Congress. We shall have occasion to refer to these
matters hereafter when more fully developed.
