THE WATERLOO BRIDGE MYSTERY.

PLAISTOW, THURSDAY.
Yesterday afernoon, an officer from Scotland-yard came
here, and visited Bridget Callaghan. She repeated to him
the extraordinary statements she had previously made, and
in the course of the day she was removed in a cab. Every
thing, beyond rumours to be heard from every mouth, is
wrapped in the most profound secrecy. The most feasible
story is that the old woman has been taken to St. Luke's
Asylum to be examined as to her sanity. As it would bo
idle to give tongue to the many rumours that have
reached our informant he withholds them for the present,
at least until there is some connecting tangibility in
them. Names are freely bandied about, and circumstances
of a most extraordinary nature every moment may come
out—indeed, the only apathy visible is in the local police.
For, if they really know nothing, or are acting under in-
structions, they profess entire ignorance of anything con-
nected with the matter.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with
boasts, and all kinds moved off steadily at fully Monday's
quotations. The show of sheep was seasonably good, and
the mutton trade ruled firm at extreme rates. Lambs,
though in short supply, met a slow inquiry. In prices,
however, no change took place. We had a fair sale for
calves at full quotations. The supply on offer was limited.
Pigs and mulch cows were dull at last week's quotations.
