METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with
beasts, and all kinds moved off steadily, at fully Monday's
currency. The show of sheep was rather limited. Prime
Downs and half-breds commanded a ready sale at full quo-
tations ; but inferior breeds were inactive at late rates.
The few lambs on offer realised an advance of 8d per 81bs,
the prices being 7s to 8s per 81bs. There was a fair demand
for calves at previous currencies, but pigs and milch cows
commanded very little attention.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Dropsical Swellings.—Whatever may be the remote cause
of collections of water in the human body, it must be,
prudent to disperse them as soon as possible. The readiest
means of accomplishing this end are supplied by using
Holloway's Ointment to increase the activity of the absor-
bents. When this Ointment is well rubbed upon the skin
it removes all venous congestion ; overcomes all mechani-
cal obstruction to the free return of the blood, and prevents.
the deposit of serum or water. Holloway's Pills likewise:
augment this absorbing power ; they act more circuitous' y
on the capillaries through the circulation, while his Oint-
ment acts directly through the skin. Both should be em-
ployed in dropsies and diseases of the kidneys.

FRIGHTFUL SCAFFOLD ACClDENT.—Yesterday
afternoon Mr. Brent held an Inquest at the Elephant and
Castle, Camden Town, on the body of John Robins, aged
39, a carpenter. Deceased was in the employ of Mr.
Stark, builder, of Gray's-inn-road, and resided at 23&,
Albion street, Caledonian• road. On Monday afternoon,
about half-past three o'clock, deceased was at work at
No. 3, Hastings •street, Burton-crescent. On stepping
across the hoarding in front of the house his foot slipped
and he fell head foremost into the area, fracturing his
skull is so frightful a manner that he died in a very short
time after the accident, the most melancholy part of which
is that he leaves a widow, far advanced in pregnancy, and
four children entirely destitute. Verdict—Accidental
death,

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus

SPURTING MTELLIGENCE.

BETTING} AT MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY.

In our notice of the transactions which took place at
the rooms yesterday, we stated that the business done
was confined to the Nottingham Meeting. The same ob-
servation will apply in a measure to that which took place
to-day. For the Liverpool Spring Cup, 11 to 2 would
have been taken about North Lancashire, and 10 to 1 was
offered bar one.—For the Grand National Steeple Chase
any of the front rank horses would have been backed at a
point or two over the legitimate betting, but everyone pre-
sent seemed to be of one opinion, so nothing was done that
required the use of the metallics, and the quotations
a few days back will answer for to-day. For the Two
Thousand Guineas, 7 to 1 would have been taken against
Klarikoff, and 12 to 1 was taken about Diophantus ; 14 to
1 was taken about Sweet Hawthorn, and Russley appeared
to have gone quite out of favour, 12 to one being offered
against him. There was no great amount of money in-
vested upon anything.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with
beasts, and all kinds moved off steadily, at fully Monday's
currency. The show of sheep was rather limited. Prime
Downs and half-breds commanded a ready sale at full quo-
tations ; but inferior breeds were inactive at late rates.
The few lambs on offer realised an advance of 8d per 81bs,
the priceg being 7s to 8s per 81bs. There was a fair demand
for calves at previous currencies, but pigs and mulch cows
commanded very little attention.

TRH ARMY.

Yesterday the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-
in-Chief, paid a visit to the garrison at Chatham in
order to hold a review of the troops now quartered
at that station. His Royal Highness, accompanied
by Major-General the Hon. Jas. Yorke Scarlett,
K.C.8., Adjutant-General, Major-General Sir R.
Airey, K.C.8., Quartermaster-General, and at-
tended
by Col. C. Tyrwhitt, and his other aides-de-
camp, travelled from London by the Chatham and
Dover Railway, reaching the Chatham station at
a few minutes after 11 o'clock. On alighting his
Royal Highness was received by Mejur-General
Eyre, commanding the _garrison ; Col. Harnees,
C. 8,, commanding the Royal Engineers ; Col. E.
E. Rea, Buys' Marines ; Licut.-Col. Gordon, Major
Congreve, Dr. !fume, principal medical officer; and
the other heads of the garrison staff. A guard of
honour, which was in wailing at the station, re•
ceived his Royal Highness with the accustomed
honours. Immediately the Duke cntered the gar-
rison a Royal salute of 21 guns was fired from the
Cornwallis Battery by a party of gunners belong-
ing to the Royal Marines. Prior to holding a re-
view of the troops his Royal Highness proceeded
through the barracks at Chatham, occupied by the
troops of the Line, to Brompton Barracks, in which
the ',Royal and Indian Engineers are quartered.
Here his Royal Highness spent some time in in-
specting the memorial arch which has just been
erected at the end of the barrack square to the

FOURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM JAPAN.—The
Daniel Webster, arrived at San Francisco, brings advices
from Kanagawa to 29th December. Her cargo consisted
of tea, coffee, arrowroot, wax, honey, lacquered and porce-
lain ware. The ship Colquimbo, from Hong Kong, Oct.
24, for San Francisco, had put into Kanagawa in a leaky
condition. Business at Kanagawa was at a stand still.
Teas and silks were the only articles purchased for export
at reasonable prices. It was thought that the Russians,
who had been waiting many months, would get a treaty,
though not such a one as desired. There is no intelligence
of the decision in the case of Mr. Moss, under trial for

ROYAL ARSENAL VOLUNTEERS AND THE SHAM
FIGHT.—A communication has been received by Colonel
Tulloh, A.A. commandant of the whole of the volunteer
force at the Royal Arsenal, expressing the final decision of
the War Department as regards the request made by
several artillery and rifle companies to be permitted to
attend the sham fight on Easter Monday, and to make up
the day by workin extra hours before and after Easter.
Lord Herbert positively refuses to grant this indulgence,
and his reply has been forwarded to the corps concerned,

so, whether security had been given by them, and whether
they had taken the oath of secrecy as collectors required by
the Income-tax Acts ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained
that the Board had appointed inspectors of their own to
collect the tax, in consequence of local arrangements for that
purpose having failed. These offices were sinecures, but it
was not the practice of the board to require security in the
case of officers whom they appointed to such situations.

MAJOR YELVERTON.
Major GAVIN asked the Under Secretary of State for
War whether his attention had been called to th 3 case of
Tkelwall v. Yelverton; and whether the name of Major
Yelverton was to be retained in her Majesty's Army List ?
Captain ARCHDALE said he understood that an officer
from the Horse Guards had been appointed to watch the
law proceedings in the celebrated trial which had just con-
cluded in Ireland.

Mr. BARING said that Major Yelverton had been sus-
pended from the performance of his military duties until
the legal proceedings that might follow the trial had taken
place. The Secretary of War could not be supposed to
take any steps at present, as such might be considered pre-
judging the case. (Hear, hear.)
THE AVON AND SIR BALDWIN WALKER.
In reply to Mr. B. OSBORNE,
Lord C. PAGET said that the Avon returned without
being successful in overtaking Sir Baldwin Walker.
(Laughter.)
FRENCH OCCUPATION OF SYRIA.

Mr. FITZGERALD asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether, if the conference now sitting at
Paris to consider the propriety of prolonging the French
occupation of Syria should be invited to consider the ques-
tion of an increase of the force now in that country, her
Majesty's Government are prepared to refuse their assent
to that proposal; and whether the information he had re-
ceived led him to believe that the number of 6,000 men, to
which the French force in Syria had been limited by the
convention, had been exceeded ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said, with respect to the first ques-
tion, that it appeared that the effective French force was in
reality not more than 6,000 men.

BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.-ADJOURNMENT

FOR EASTER.

Lord PALMERSTON said that he had to appeal to hon.
members in regard to public business. For the conveni-
ence of hon. members it was proposed that the house should
adjourn on the Monday before Easter instead of, as previ-
ously, on the Thursday. It was necessary that they should
pass the army and navy estimates before the day of ad-
journment, and he trusted private members who had motions
to bi ing forward would postpone them on the motion for
going into committee of supply until some more conve-
nient opportunity, so far as public business was con-
cerned.

SUPPLY.
The adjourned debate on the motion for going into com-
mittee of supply was resumed by
Mr. E. JAMES, who was

The famine in the north-west province is assum-

It is feared that the famine will exceed anything
of the kind within memory.

LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 19, 1861.

Again Mr. COBDEN comes pestering us with his
preposterous panacea of Arbitration. And under
such circumstances, too—at a moment so ridi-
culously inopportune. Here has a war-ship
of the Federal Government at Washington
waylaid an English vessel on the high seas,
an unarmed vesssel, bearing the Royal Mail
bags, under the guardianship of an officer
in the Royal Navy—the vessel of a Neutral Power,
carrying at the masthead the National Flag of
England ! Here has the Federal Government's war-
ship, the San Jacinto, intercepted the English
Mail Packet the Trent, compelling her to lay to,
first of all by firing a cannon-ball across her bows,
and afterwards by discharging in her direction a
shell that exploded close beside her—boarding her
with a party of marines with fixed bayonets—for-
cibly taking prisoners four of her passengers—
drEigging them from under the presumed
shelter of the Union Jack, with every token of
insolent determination and deliberate indignity !
Here has been perpetrated an outrage of this flagrant
character—without provocation—to a Neutral
Power, and that neutral Power the Old Mother
Country, from which the American citizens, both
of the North and the South, have alike emanated !
And Mr. COBDEN coolly talks to us—while we are
yet waiting for an answer to our demands—about
Arbitration ! One would really imagine—judging
from Mr. BRIGHT'S last speech, and from Mr.
COBDEN'S last letter—one would really imagine
that England in this matter had been the
aggressor That it was a war vessel
of England that had stopped a mail steamer

Never was there a more illogical absurdity than is
observable in either instance. Upon Mr. BRIGHT'S

hallucination) we have already commented. Mr.

BLLGIUM,

Secretary Seward writes to Mr. Sanford, Minis-
ter to Belgium, saying:—
" The President will not consent, directly or in-
directly to the interposition of any foreign Power
in a controversy which is merely a domestic one.
Among other things Mr. Seward says Mr. Sanford
will not fail to represent to the King of the Bel-
gians that all the interests of European manufac-
tures and commerce are identified with the promo-
tion of peace lilltl Lau um/mimeo LlCLlvlby uf
American people. An act of recognition in favour
of a now discontented party would necessarily tend
to encourage that party to attempt to establish
their separation from the Union by civil war,
the consequences of which would be disastrous to
all the existing systems of industrial activity in
Europe, and when once they had begun, those con-
sequences would be likely to continue indefinitely ;
whereas no nation in Europe can hope that their
own interests would be as safe and prosperous
under any change of Government here as they
now are and have so long been under the present
system."
Mr. Sanford writes, May 10, that he was re-
ceived by the King on the Bth in solemn audience.
In reply to Mr. Sanford's speech the King spoke
but generally of the insurrection in the Southern
States. He said he hoped that some peaceful issue
would be found, and that the spirit of conciliation
would prevail, and then referred to the growing
markets they had for their manufactures in the
United States.

Mr. Sanford in another letter says that ho had
had a conversation with Mr. D'Vriere on the sub-
ject of the efforts of the Commissioners of the so-
called Confederate States to obtain the recognition
of the European Powers. The Belgian Minister
informed bim that no application had been made
to him in this view, nor would it now be enter-
tained if made. The revolution would receive no
sanction by any act of Belgium. Mr. Sanford took
his leave with the repeated assurances that no
countenance would be given in any form to the
rebellion in the Southern States.

Secretary Seward, Aug. 5, writes to Mr. San-
ford

"'There is no especial urgency on our part for
the consideration, by the Belgian Government, of
our proposition to accede to the declaration of
the Congress of Paris, before the similar proposi-
tions, submitted to the British and French Go-
vernments, shall have been acted upon by them;
although we hold ourselves ready to carry over-
tures into eff'3ct when the Belgian Government shall
desire."

cates of benevolent and human progress, encouraged
by the slow though marked meliorations of the
barbarities of war, which have been obt Cned in
modern times, have been recently engaged with as-
siduity in endeavouring to effect some modifica-
tion of the law of nations in regard t ) the rights
of neutrals in maritime war.' He T ecites the
diplomatic history of our own country on
that subject, and instructs them to ascertain
whether those Governments are disposed to enter
into negotiations for the accession of the Govern-
ment of the United States to the declaration of the
Paris Congress, with the conditions annexed by
that body to the same. If the Governments are so
disposed, the Ministers will enter into a Convention
to that effect. The Secretary concludes by say-
ing :

" It is presumed that you will need no special
explanation of the sentiments of the President on
this subject for the purpose of conducting the neces-
sary conferences with the Government to which you
are accredited. Its assent is expected on the ground
that the proposition is accepted at its suggestion,
and in the form it has preferred. For your own in-
formation it will be sufficient to say that the Pre-
sident adhered to the opinion expressed by my pre-
decessor, Mr. Marcy. It would be eminently de-
sirable for the good of all nations that the property
and effects of private individuals, not contraband,
should be exempt from seizure and confiscation by
national vessels in the maintenance of the war. If
the time and circumstances were propitious to a pro-
secution of the negotiation with that object in view,
he would direct that it should be assiduously pur-
sued, but the season seems to have passed, at least
for the present. Europe seems once more on the
verge of quite general wars. On the other hand
a portion of the American people have raised the
standard of insurrection, and proclaimed a Provi-
sional Government, and, through their organs have
taken the bad resolution to invite privateers to prey
upon the peaceful commerce of the United States.
Prudence and humanity combine in persuading the
President, under the circumstances, that it is wise
to receive the lesser good offered by the Paris Con-
gress, without waiting indefinitely in hope to ob-
tain the greater one offered to the maritime nations
by the President of the United States."

PRUSSIA.

Mr. Seward, March 22, addressed Mr. Judd, our
Minister to Prussia, that—
While it is the intention of the President to
maintain the sovereignty and rightful authority of
the Union everywhere with firmness as well as dis-
cretion, he at the same time relies with great con-
fidence on the working of the agencies the Secretary
mentions to restore the harmony and Union of
the States ; but, to this end, it is of the
greatest importance that the disaffected States
shall not succeed in obtaining favour or
recognition from foreign nations. It is under-
stood, he says, that the so-called Confederate
States of America have rent, or are about to send,
agents to solicit such recognition in Europe, al-
though there is no special. reason for supposing
Prussia to b-) one of the nations to which applica-
tion will be made. An almost electric political
connexion, however, exists between the several
capitals of Europe, and, therefore, some most effi-
cient and unfailing efforts must be put forward
directly, and even indirectly, to prevent the success
of that ill-starred design. Ile concludes by saying
that these instructions are given because it is our
first and most earnest desire and expectation that
Minister Judd will avoid all possible form of offence
and irritiv ion, and will, on the other hand, endea-
vour to establish the most friendly and cordial re-
lations with the Government of the King of
Prussia. With this view, Mr. Judd will assure his
Majesty that the President and people of the
United States entertain sentiments of the highest
respect and sincere goodwill for his Majesty and
the prople of Prussia."
Ex-Minister Wright, May 8, says :

"I have, since my return, had a long interview
with Baron Von Schleinitz, the Minister for
Foreign Affairs, who, while he expressed the earnest
sympathy of his Government with the American
people in their present troubles, not only because of
the effect of such disturbances upon the commerce
of Europe, but also on account of the intimate re-
lations between the two countries, owing to the
