METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Our market to-day was fairly supplied with beasts as to
number, but their general quality was inferior. Prime
Scots, &e., were in steady request, at fully Monday's cur-
rency.. Otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state,
on firmer 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.

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 probably form the subject of a police investigation.—

THE LATE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—To each
gentleman of the counties of Tipperary, Waterford, and
Kilkenny, who hunted with the Curraglimorefoxhound!,
