METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Our market to-day was fairly supplied with beasts as to
number, but their general quality was inferior. Prima
Scots, &c., were in steady request, at fully Monday's cur-
rency. Otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state,
on f‘rmer terms. About an average time of year supply
of sheep was on offer. Downs and half-breds realised ex-
treme rates, but other breeds were a slow inquiry, on for-
mer terms. Although the supply of calves was limited,
the veal trade was less active, nevertheless prices were well
supported. Pigs were quite as dear as on Monday, but
mulch cows were a dull inquiry.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY Or EMPLOYERS:—Francis Frede-
rick Mundy, a young man in the employ of Messrs. Hay-
ward and Drayton, linendrapers, 95, 97, and 98, Tottenham-
court-road, was placed at the bar charged as follows by Mr.
Inspector Pethers of the E division
Robert Schrodle, foreman to Mr. Robert Barker Starling,
pawnbroker, Great Portland-street, said on Monday even-
ing the prisoner called at their house about nine o'clock,
two hours after the usual business hours, and said he
wanted a loan of money. I told him I could not accommo-
date him then, and he left a Lundle of silk handkerchiefs
and said he would call the next morning. He did not call
till the next evening, when he was given into custody.
Mr. J. W. Pethers, Inspector of the E division, said—ln
company of Sergeant Franklin, 21 E, I wont to the last
wit-lien's house in Great Portland-street, and after waiting
an hour the prisoner came, and last witness asking his name
he said it was Francis Frederick Store, of 3, Eastcheap. I
stepped from the passage into the room where the prisoner
was, and asked the prisoner if that was his correct name.
and after a little hesitation he said his name was " Mundy."
I pointed to the handkerchiefs, and asked him if they were
his, and he said "Yes." I asked how many there were,
and he said 12. I told him he was wrong, for there were
only 11; and in answer to where he got them, ho said he
bought them at Bristol. I told him if he could refer me
to any one I would go with him, but as he refused to do so
or give his address, I took him into custody. His address
having been discovered, his lodgings were searched and &
large number ofduplicates found relating to property of a
description likely to be stolen.

Henry Heath, assistant to Messrs. Hayward and Dray-
ton, said the prisoner was in the employ of the firm, and
that the handkerchiefs, he believed, formed part of their
stock that was missed the previous day.
The prisoner had nothing to say, and was remanded at
the request of Invpector Pethers for further inquiry.

SALMON POACHING ON THE TWEED.—We last
week drew attention to the lawless proceedings of a number
of the inhabitants of Spittal, who are resolved to carry on
the salmon fishing in the Tweed despite the provisions of
the Act of Parliament. In fact they appeared determined
to set at defiance all the agencies available to the commis-
sioners for the suppression of 'poaching. There is little
doubt that they are encouraged by obtaining a ready mar-
ket for the fish through the agency of respectable dealers.
It is even reported that one dealer last week executed a
single order for upwards of £2O worth. On Tuesday a
quantity of salmon were seized at the railway station, and
will probqhly form the subject of a police investigation.—

EXETER.

Exeter and many parts of the county of Devon
were visited with a tremendous storm on Tuesday.
Torrents of rain fell in the day ; the Exe overflowed
its banks, the valley of the Clyst was flooded, and
property in many places was destroyed. The rain
was succeeded in the night by a terrific gale. This,
in conjunction with a spring tide, has seriously
damaged the South Devon line, which runs for a
long distance in close proximity to the sea. It is re-
ported that several breaches in the line betwean
Exeter and Teignmouth have occurred, the result
of which is that " all traffic was suspended until
further orders" on Wednesday. A correspondent,
writing from Totnes, states that the tide was so
high that the streets were inundated.

BRISTOL,

Bristol was visited on the afternoon and evening
of Tuesday with a heavy storm, accompanied by a
violent gale from the east, shifting south, and
bringing with it a rise in the temperature after the
severe frosts of the preceding days. The mercury
fell fast, and at 8 p.m., stood (at 228 feet above the
sea) at 28.608 inches, being the lowest since Oct. 8,
1857, when it was 28.529. The rain gauge of the
Bristol Waterworks Company indicated a fall of
seventy-fire hundredths in the 24 hours ending at
10 a.m. yesterday morning.

THAMES.

ANNOYING THE RECTOR OF WHITECHIEEL.—Margaret
Kelly, a dissipated-looking creature, aged 19, of No. 5,
Mill-lane, Deptford, was charged with annoying the Rev.
W. A. Chauapneys, the popular rector of Whitechapel, and
violently knocking at his door, and ringing his bell without
lawful excuse.

The rev. complainant, who had signed the charge-sheet,
did not appear, and the prisoner was at once discharged.
It appeared that the prisoner went to the Whitechapel
rectory -house last night at a late hour, after the family
had retired to rest, and knocked loudly at the front and side
doors, and also rang the bell. On being asked her business,
she set up a mostdismal howling, and said her poor mother,
who was living in Brick-lane, Whitechapel, was dfing, and
implored of the rev. gentleman to accompany her to her
dwelling and administer spiritual consolation to her parent.
The rev. gentleman, with that promptness for which he has
always been distinguished, immediately dressed himself
and went to the house named by the prisoner, and ascer-
tained that no person named Kelly was living there, and
that the prisoner's story was a falsehood. The rector im-
mediately gave the prisoner into custody for annoying him
and knocking at his door without lawful excuse, but from
motives if humanity refused to appear against her this
morning. Gross impositions have been practised on the
Rev. Mr. Chanspneys, who is a most benevolent and zeal-
ous clergyman, and it is to be hoped the next offender who
subjects him to annoyance will be prosecuted and punished.
FEES TO INTERPRETERS.-J oaquim Gonsalves Reis, a
Portuguese boy, aged 16, and belonging to a foreign ship
in the London Dock, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with assaulting Henry Mansell, a lighterman, by
striking him with a bar, and attempting to stab him with
a knife; and Andrea Guisepppe, a Spanish seaman, of the
barque Pepitaßesita, was charged with stealing some dupli-
cates. There was no prosecutor in either case, but Dr.
Moldola, a linguist, who said he had been directed by the
police to attend and interpret the evidence, asked for his
fees.

Mr. Yardley—Your office has been a sinecure this morn-
ing. I will allow you one fee of ss.
Dr. Meld°la—Sometimes, sir, the cases have been very
long ones.
Mr. Yardley—lt is very easy for me to be generous, but
I am a trustee of the public funds, and am bound to be
careful. I can allow you one fee, and you will earn that
very easily this day.
Dr. Meldo am satisfied, your worship.
Mr. Yardley—l am glad to hear it.

FAREHAM.

A meeting took place at the Red Lion Hotel,
Fareham, on Tuesday, which was presided over by
Mr. H. P. Delme, to form a volunteer corps. A
large number of landed proprietors and local gentry,
and others interested in the formaton of a rifle corps
for this town and neighbourhood, were present. A
subscription list was opened in the room, when
nearly £4OO was given in donations, and a good sum,
guaranteed as annual subscriptions.

Israel Taylor was charged with cutting and stab-

and murder, and with other minor intents:
Mr. Flowers conducted the prosecution; .the
prisoner was undefended.
. It appeared from the evidence that frequent
quarrels.had arisen between the two brothers, who
lived in the same house,. where Elijah cohabited
with a woman named Emma Jordan. On the after-
ham of September 16 the two brothers were drink-
ing at a public-house, the Roebuck, and quarrelled
there. The prisoner left his brother, saying that
he would fetch a warrant for him, and that he
would stab him through the head that night before
he slept. lie went home to tea, and on Emma
Jordan's inquiring whether he had seen his brother
he replied that he bad seen " Nipper" (a nickname
by which his brother went) at the Roebuck, that
they were going to fight, and he would shed his
blood that night, adding, " There will be murder

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN" CIRCUIT.---YORK, Dec. 13. I
(Before • Mr. Jtisice .Wighttnan.) . •
John Reed, 37, was indicted for the manslaughter
of James Nolan, at Sheffield, on the 10th Oct.'last.
Mr. Maule and Mr. Blackburn prosecuted, and
Mr. Price and Mr. S. 1). Waddy appeared for the
defence.
The prisoner was the member of a brass band in
which he played the cernopean, and whose head-
quarters were at the Druids Tavern, Bailey-street,
a publichouse kept by the prisoner. On the night of
'Monday, the 10th of October, after a tour of, the
neighbourhood, the band stopped before the Pox
and Duck. a tavern opposite .the end of Bailey-
street. They then returned to the Druids, and
on their. way had to pass a tavern kept by an
Irishman . named . Money. A troop of Irish
rushed out on - the band, and a general fight en-
sued. The prisoner's hat was beaten in, and he
took refuge iu his own house. After a short time
son.le person in . the -entry where the prisoner's
front door was, stabbed Nolan, who was engaged in
the fray. The wound was very severe, passing
along through the body, perforating one lung and
causing almost instant death.- Mr. H. Walker, a
surgeon in Sheffield, was called in, but found the
deceased dead when he arrived at the police-station,
. where. the body lay. llis lordship remarked that

PRINCE ALFRED AT CORFU.

The Euryalus, Captain Tarleton, cast anchor in the
harbour, at 10 o'clock on the morning of the sth. At half-
past two p.m. Prince Alfred, accompanied by Rear-Admiral
Mundy, Captain Tarleton, and the Rev. W. Onslow, landed
at St. Nicolo, under a salute from the ships in the harbour
and the guns-of the garrison. A guard of honour, Major-
General Sir George Buller, the garrison staff, and the heads
of regiments and departments, received his Royal Highness
at the landing-place, and conducted him through a dense
crowd to the Palace of St. Michael and St. George, where
he was received by another guard of honour and
his Excellency Sir Henry Storks, the members of
the Senate, and the dignitaries of the Greek church. At
four p.m., the prince, accompanied by his excellency,
drove into the country, and on their return about sunset
walked through the town, where active preparations were
being made for a general illumination, which took place soon
after their return to the palace, on entering which the prince
was repeatedly cheered by the assembled multitude. At
night the public streets and thoroughfares were tastefully
lighted, particularly the public offices, the theatre, the pub-
lic fountains, the houses of the British residents, foreign
merchants, and consuls at Corfu.
The band of the 14th Regiment played in front of the
palace, where the prince remained during tho night, until 9
o'clock, when they were relieved by the band of the Corfu
Philharmonic Society. Goodwill and harmony seemed to
prevail among all classes, the delighted spectators were
gratified, and the pleasant scene concluded about half-past
10 by a display of fireworks in front of the palace.

PLYMOUTH.
Mr. Morris, manager of the Branch Bank of
England at Plymouth, has received instructions to
contribute 125 towards the establishment of the
volunteers in that town. The numbers enrolled
are only 105, but they arc increasing.

An influential and enthusiastic meeting was held
at the Corn-Exchange, Sittingbourne, on Wednes-
day, to take immediate steps for the formation of
a volunteer rifle corps for the towns of Sitting-
bourne and Milton andthe neighbourhood. Lord
Kingsdown presided, and was supported by all the
magistrates and leading gentlemen of the district. A
subscription list was opened, and headed by the
chairman with £5O. Upwards of £3OO was sub-
scribed in a very short time. A list of effective
volunteers was also opened, and about 35 names
were at once given in. A number of annual sub-
scribers were also obtained.

BERWICKSHIRE.

The movement is making rapid progress in this
county. For the Eyemouth corps liberal contribu-
tions have been received. Mr. Mitchell Innes and.
Mr. D. M. Home have each given the sum of £5O.
In connection with the Dunse corps a company is
being formed at Chirnside, and at Aytoun above
40 have been enrolled. Upwards of 70 persons have
already joined the Coldstream corps, and fully £2OO
has been subscribed. The Berwick corps numbers
about 135 members.

Edinburgh regiment, most of which are at present
near the maximum complement.

their first drill at the town-hall on Saturday even-
ing. The rifle corps is being proceeded with,
though not so rapidly as the artillery. Funds are
being raised for both corps, and £452 10s. 6d. re-
ceived in donations, and £27 14s. 6d. in annual
subscriptions. The total amount required will be
£l,OOO, it being :propose& to supply the uniform,

teers from the funds.

occupying the attention of the house they did a'
great wrong to the country, by taking up time that
would be much better occupied in other ways. He
had had but a short experience in the 1-louse of
Commons, but during that time he had learned to
be really positively afraid of the voice of one or two
hon. members. (Laughter.) Sidney Smith once
said " Life has been disagreeably abridged since the
Flood, and it is very difficult to master more than
two subjects." Nevertheless, there were some hon.
members who spoke upon every subject brought
before the house, and very recently one hon. mem-
ber told his constituents, in the pride of his heart,
that hardly a debate had taken place last session,
lupon any subject whatever, in which he had not
taken a part. (Laughter.) The course pursued by
the hon. member might have been very satisfactory
to his constituents, but could not have failed to be
extremely unsatisfactory to the house itself. (Hear,
hear.) With regard to agricultural meetings of this
nature, he looked upon them as most admirable in-
stitutions in making different classes known to
each other, and inducing them to get rid of the re-
serve common to Englishmen. Already such meet-
ings had done their work beyond all expectation in
improving the agriculture of the country. He had
seen it stated the other day in one of the London
papers, as a thing just discovered, that the British
farmer was an intelligent man, and that the manu-
facture of the food of the country must really have
something of science in it. His own opinion was,
that the enterprise of the manufacturing districts
was nothing as compared with that of the agricul-
turists, who absolutely sent half round the globe
for manure for their fields. (Cheers.)
Some other toasts were given, and the proceed-
ings, which were enlivened by the musical talents
of Mr. Bruton and a party of glee singers, were
brought to a close.

There are now 65 names down for the Ist Cupar

On the Bth inst. the Rirado, which is published in
Szegedin, in Hungary, received a written warning
" for continually bringing out invidious and violent
articles, which are calculated to bring about a hos-
tile feeling betwern the nationalities."
Persons who have seen and spoken to members of

the Cabinet during the last few days say that
they firmly believe their new ordinances have done
a great deal of good ; but they would hardly enter-
tain such an opinion if they could hear what
passes in the city. The Government, by its
" cowardly" ordinances, has lost the respect of
the Viennese, who appear to pass a great part of
their time in making ribald jokes at its expense.
A person who came from Prague the day before
yesterday states that the Bohemians are nearly as
discontented as the Hungarians. Trade is every-
where stagnant, and the Bohemians doubtless find
it very difficult to get money with which to pay
their taxes.

It is at length settled that Count Rechberg is to
be present at the opening of the Congress. Baron
von Meysenberg, who went to Zurich with the late
Count Colloredo, will also go to Paris, and remain
there as second Plenipotentiary when the Minister-
President returns to Vienna. The day for the de-
parture of Count Reehberg is not yet fixed, but ho
will probably leave for Paris soon after New
Year's- day.
There is a great agitation in Baden against the
Concordat, although two-thirds of the inhabitants
of that Grand Duchy are Roman Catholics. It
daily becomes more evident that the wholesale im-
portation of Jesuits into Germany has given great
offence to its enlightened inhabitants.

BERMONDSEY.

•
An influential meeting of the Bermondsey Volun-
teer Rifle Corps was held in the St. James's schools
on Tuesday evening—Mr. W. Darnell, church-
warden, in the chair—for the purpose of nominat-
ing gentlemen as officers. Two companies of 60
each nominated their officers, which, with the names
of the members, has been forwarded to the Lord-
L ieutenant for approval. The third company is
also nearly formed, and it is fully expected that
this corps will in a short time number at least 500
effectives. Upwards of £3OO has already been sub-
scribed.

Mr. Maule and MB r. 1 ackburn prosecuted, and

defence.

The prisoner was the i n ember of a brass band in
which he played the con tc peen, and whose head-
quarters were at the Dru Ids Tavern, Bailey-street,
a publichouse kept by the! prisoner. On the night of
Monday, the 10th of Oc rt ober, after a tour of the
neighbourhood, the band stopped before the Fox
and Duck, a tavern opp o site the end of Bailey-
street. They then retl a rued to the Druids, and
on their way had to ps tss a tavern kept by an
Irishman named Moil, sy. A troop of Irish
rushed out on the band, and a general fight en-
sued. The prisoner's hi .t was beaten in, and he
took refuge in his own he n 'se. After a short time
some person in the enl a •y. where the prisoner's
front door was, stabbed YI plan, who was engaged in
the fray. The wound • P ias very severe, passing
along through the body, : perforating one lung and
causing almost instant c :ath. Mr. 11. Walker, a
surgeon in Sheffield, was called in, but found the
deceased dead when he aria .ved at the police-station,

CHINA.

By this mail we have :.deices from Hong Kong
to October 29, and Shanghae to October 22. The
following is from the summary of the China
Mail.•—" Everything remains dull. A portion
of the 67th Regiment has come up here from
Calcutta, and the 3d Buffs are daily expected
from the same place, it having been supposed that
Shanghae was in danger at the time of the riot
there. It is said that a recent survey of the mouth
of the Peiho has disclosed that large vessels can
move in very clOse to the forts, so if directions come
out for the destruction of the forts, there will be no
difficulty in doing so. A number of vessels are en-
gaged at Calcutta lest hostilities should be ordered,
but we are not without hope that moderate counsels
will prevail. Mr. Lay has commenced the opera-
tion of the new service at Canton, and in another
column we give the regulations of the custom house
and the rules for river steamers. As might be ex-
pected, an innovation of this kind has been sharply
opposed by, a portion of the foreign community,
but in some quarters in such an abusive way as
rather to close than to promote discussion. One
important fact, however, is that the United States
consul at Canton has refused his sanction to the
arrangement until be comtnunicaies with his Ex-
cellency Mr. Ward ; and the American steamer
White Cloud broUght back a portion of its cargo,
immediately after the regulations were put in force
this week, rather than bear the delay involved by
the customs examination. As the system appears
not to have worked ill at Shanghae, it is to be
hoped that some attempt will be made to suit the
necessities of the river steamers. We. mentioned in
our last' overland summary that the southern
portion of the island of Saghalien had been ceded
to the Russians by the Japanese Government. As
the Russians held the northern portion some time
ago, it may be presumed that the whole island is
now in their hands. The wreck of another steamer

has to be announced by us every mail almost regu-
larly. This time it is the James Hartley the loss of
which we hare to record. It left Shanghae for
Hong Kong on the 6th inst., and on the evening of
the 10th, a little after 6 o'block, struck upon some
rocks about 80 miles from Hong Kong. After in-
ourring great danger the officers and crew were
taken down to Hong Kong by a junk ; 25,000 dols.
which were on board, were afterwards recovered by
a gunboat. The ship Inkerman, from London, has
been lost on St. John's Island ; the Louisa Baillie,
on its way to Swatow ; and the schooner Minnita,
on the other side of this island. Early on the morn-
ing of the 19th inst. a destructive fire broke out
here, which destroyed the establishments of Mr.
Marsh, Mrs. Rickomartz, the Victoria Exchange,
the billiard-room of the Commercial Hotel, and the
newly-built Roman Catholic chapel, with an ad-
joining house. The damage is estimated at up-
wards of 100,000 dols."
