METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
A full average time-of-year supply of beasts was on offer
in to-day's market in fair condition. For all kinds we ex-
perienced a heavy demand at barely Monday's currency.
The show of sheep was large, and the mutton trade ruled
very inactive. In prices, however, no quotable change
tookplace. Large numbers of lambs were on offer, and the
inquiry for them was heavy at pros ions quotations. Calves
were in good supply and sluggish request at barely late
rates. Pigs and milch cows were very dull on former
terms.

ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD ON
CONVICTION. _ _

The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of
DU BARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA
LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and,
upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of
Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper
Nevin, and his agents, under a penalty of .0,000, from selling
any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du
Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro-
prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above
reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor-
mation of any breach of the injunction. An intelligent
public requires no admonition to shun all shopkeepers who
may attempt impositions. London: BARRY DU BARRY

RUPTURE WITH SANTO DOMINGO.

The Consuls of Great Britain, France, and Spain,
at Santo Domingo, arrived in Kingston, Jamaica,
on Monday, the 30th ult.
We learn that the Dominican Government had
lately seen fit, in violation of existing treaties, to
adopt an arbitrary measure by which a direct
attack was made on the property of all foreigners,
and which, if admitted, would have compromised
all foreign interests in the country.
A protest against th:s measure was addressed by
the consular agents of Great Britain, France, and
Spain, to the Dominican Government, which, not-
withstanding their great moderation, was twice
returned to them in a most offensive manner. In
fact, their right to protect the interests of the
subjects of their respective Crowns was expressly
denied.

In consequence, the several Consuls were corn
pelled to suspend all official relations with the Go.
vernment of St. Domingo, and to leave the country.

run straight at the enemy, taking him, if. possible,
in the stern or quarter, all the men on deck retiring
to the stern to avoid injury from falling spars.
When about half the vessel's length from the
enemy the engines are to be stopped and the
engineers stand by to reverse the engines in
order to clear her from the wreck of her antago-
nist before the latter goes down. It is calculated
'that striking a line-of-battle ship in the stern the
ram would sink her within three minutes. The
bowsprit will, we believe, be telescopic in order to
be housed on board with the anchors before striking
the enemy, that there may be no chance of becom-
ing entangled with the wreck of the sinking
vessel. It has, however, yet to be explained how
she is to get rid of her own wreck of masts and
spars, and above all what precautions will be
adopted to prevent any chance of the rigging foul-
ing her screw. The cost of the hull will be about
£200,000, the engines about £75,000, and her fit-
ting for sea about £45,000 more—or £320,000 in
all. If she only does one-half of what may fairly
be anticipated from her she will be cheaper to the
nation than a dozen sail of the line, and we hope
before long to announce that another of the same
kind has been decided on.

to the stern to avoid injury from falling spars.
When about half the vessel's length from the
enemy the engines are to be stopped and the
engineers stand by to reverse the engines in
order to clear her from the wreck of her antago-
nist before the latter goes down. It is calculated
that striking a line-of-battle ship in the stern the
ram would sink her within three minutes. The
bowsprit will, we believe, be telescopic in order to
be housed on board with the anchors before striking
the enemy, that there may be no chance of becom-
ing entangled with the wreck of the sinking
vessel. It has, however, yet to be explained how
she is to get rid of her own wreck of masts and
spars, and above all what precautions will be
adopted to prevent any chance of the rigging foul-
ing her screw. The cost of the hull will be about
£200,000, the engines about £75,000, and her fit-
ting for sea about £45,000 more—or £320,000 in
all. If she only does one-half of what may fairly
be anticipated from her she will be cheaper to the
nation than a dozen sail of the line, and we hope
before long to announce that another of the same
kind has been decided on.

THE SUN,
_LONDON,

has actually lost two, with disgrace and humilia-
tion, almost unparalleled in so short a time. And
all for what ? That being great, he would fain
become greater—boasted. of his immense armies—
would not hear of reasonable advice, nor take any
course but his own; and behold the fitting retri-
bution!

There is undoubted generalship in victory, but
there may be still greater generalship after defeat ;
and if his Commander-in-Chief can retire with the
main bulk of his army out of the kingdom of
Venice he w;11 achieve wonders, seeing how
sorely he is now beset by the pursuing con-
querors, and soon to be met by the combination
of conspiring forces preparing to harrass if they
cannot cut off his retreat. Indeed, the official
accounts from Vienna already betoken the shadow
of coming events, for the authorities of Lombardy,
both civil and military, are now to take up their
head-quarters at Laybach ! Did we not indicate
that they would do so some weeks ago ? But will
they even find repose there unless an armistice be
agreed upon ? There is no rest for the wicked, and
the Austrians have too long established their claim
t• such by the utter wickedness of their ways, and.
may now well dread the avenging retribution of
their burning foes !

Let us hope that a due sense of his own position
may now suggest better councils to the German
Emperor, and that he will not lean for help on the
Prince of PRUSSIA, because such help would:be:effec-
tive and not avail either. It would unquestionably
plunge all Germany in a war from which not one
of the great or little States would escape with
honour. Hitherto the Emperor NAPOLEON has
acted with consumate skill and moderation, even in
victory.

Let him but act up in the same spirit, wholly
regardless of territorial aggrandizement, and he
will not only add to his own increasing fame, but
put his opponents and calumniators in the wrong,
and so win the admirati on of Europe as well as
the conscientious applause of his own heart.

NELSON V. STi;CKER--JUDGMENT APPEAL.
This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor
Sir John. Stuart, holding that the husband was bound by
the covenants in the settlement.
Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner
considered that the defendant was not bound by the settle-
meat, and dismissed the bill without costs.
PAYNE V. MORTIMER-APPEAL TUDGMENT.
This was an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor
Sir John Stuart, holding that the defendant, on his assign-
ment of the covenants to pay £5,000 on the bankrupt's
daughter's marriage settlement, had no preference over the
claims over the bankrupt's general creditors.
Lord Justice Knight Bruce and Lord Justice Turner
were of opinion that the original voluntary charapter of the
deed granted without value followed the aesigament of it
for value, and created no preference over the other creditors
of the bankrupt.

Their lordships affirmed the decision of the Vice-Chan-
cellor, and dismissed the appeal with costs.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

A full average time-of-year supply of beasts was on offer
1* to-day's market in fair condition. For all kinds we ex-
rienced a heavy demand at barely Monday's currency.
The show of sheep was large, and the mutton trade ruled
very inactive. In prices, however, no quotable change
took place. Large numbers of lambs were on offer, and the
inquiry for them was heavy at pro ious quotations. Calves
were in good supply and sluggish request at barely late
rates. Pigs and milch cows were very dull on former
terms.

HART'S PATENT ECONOMISING GAS
BURNER, the great desideratumof the age to all con-
sumers of Gas. By its use the objections to the introduction
of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
particle of gas, on reaching the orifice of the burner, is fairly
consumed, and thus the diffusion of those noxious vapours so
injurious to health, and destructive to works of art, bindings
of books, &c., is entirely prevented.
The burner can be fitted by the most inexperienced hand to
any chandelier or bracket.

LATEST NEWS.

The following telegrams have been received a
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, FRIDAY.

It is said that Piedmont is not to be admitted
into the Congress as one of the great Powers,
Austria and Russia having formally protested
against her admission on any other terms than those
allowed to the other Italian States.
The same two great Powers have also demanded
that Piedmont should not be suffered to enter the
Congress immediately on its commencement, and as
a matter of course, but should only be permitted to
take part in the deliberations when called upon to
do so.

The preliminary conditions on which Austria in-
sists render it even doubtful whether the Congress
will be feasible, one of the conditions being that
Piedmont should disarm, which she positively
refuses to do.

PARIS, SATURDAY, April 2.
The 31oniteur of this morning contains the fo

lowing :--

The Emperor will review the troops of the line
of the garrison of Paris on Sunday next.
Six divisions of the army were about to be
placed on a war footing.
The regiments to be reviewed to-morrow (Sun-
day) will already have received the fourth batta-
lions which were to be added to them.
It is reported that a corps d'observation is form-
ing at Relly, in the immediate neighbourhood of
Culos (department Ain), the junction of the Sar-
dinian and French Railways.

In the corps last mentioned the native tirailleurs
and other regiments recently summoned from

METROPOLITAN GAS SUPPLY.

Yesterday the Parliamentary Committee ap-
pointed as to the Metropolis Gas Supply and the
districting arrangements of the London Compa-
nies, met as usual in No. 15 Committee-room.
House of Commons.

The Hon. G. Byng presided, and the whole of
the members were present :—Sir J. Shelley, Sir W.
G. Hayter, Mr. JacksOn, Mr. Alderman Cubitt,
Mr. Russell, Mr. John Abel Smith, Mr. Adams,
Sir W. Dunbar. Mr. John Locke, Mr. Barrow, Mr.
Ayrton, and Mr. Whitbread.

The metropolitan delegates had submitted a
series of proposed clauses to be inserted in a
Bill for the protection of the public, and there has
hitherto been great disagreement in the committee.
Yesterday and Monday the committee sat with
closed doors ; and in consequence of the strong
feeling prevailing, the committee of delegates had
passed a resolution to place in the hands of some of
the members, calling upon all members of the com-
mittee possessing a pecuniary interest in any gas
company to retire from the oommittee ; and, in the
event of their not doing so, threatening to present
a petition to Parliament as to the constitution of
the committee.

Mr. JACKSON proposed the following resolution :
—" That the committee recommend, as a basis for
future legislation, the following—Districts to be
assigned to the several existing companies ; 4s. Gd.
per thousand feet to be the maximum price, until
the profit, being more than 10 per cent., compels,
under the clauses of the Gas Clauses Consolidation,
a reduction in price ; auditors to be appointed as
arranged in the Gas Clauses Consolidation Act, to
ascertain the actual profits, allowing for wear and
tear, and replacement of plant ; no such advance in
price to be made by the companies, unless such
advance be sanctioned by the Board of Trade ;
minimum illuminating power to be 11 sperm
candles for common coal gas, and 161 fop cannel
gas • charge for public lights to be as low and not
,
less than the several companies' charges in the
several districts to the largest consumers ; proper
officers to be appointed for testing the quality of
the gas ; no claim to be made on new tenants for
debts due by a previous occupier ; the price for
cannel gas to be 6s. when common coal gas is
4s. Gd., the illuminating power being 161 sperm
candles as'against 11 for Newcastle coal."
Sir W. HALTER proposed as an amendment that
The principle of the companies occupying ex-
clusively separate districts be recommended by the
committee ; that if any advance beyond the price
of 4s. 6d. for common gas of 11 sperm candles, or
Os. for cannel, of 14 sperm candles, shall be made
by any of the respective companies, a power shall
be given to vestries or district boards to appeal to
the Board of Trade against such advance, who
shall decide if such advance shall be detailed, mo-
dified, or reduced."

The metropolis delegates refused to assent to
the principle of exclusive districts to the compa-
nies, as perpetuating monopoly ; and after a long
and, it is said, stormy discussion, the committee
broke up without agrement, leaving the parishes to
introduce a bill on the subject.
London, England, 1859-04-02

BRISTOL SUGAR-Aim 1.

There has been rather more disposition shown to pur-
chase this week, and prices are about supported. The sales
consist of 250 hhds., 300 bags West India, 7,000 bags Per-
nams and Paraibas, 300 tons Bahia, and 10,000 mats of
Mauritius, nearly the whole of which was for refining, the
demand from the grocers being still, very limited. Refiners'
produce meets a fair sale at steady prices ; but there is little
disposition shown to purchase for forward delivery. Rum
is still very dull.
