METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supplies of beasts on offer hero, to-day, were chiefly
tho refuse of Monday, and in very middling condition. All
breeds met a dull sale, and the quotations were almost
nominal. The show of sheep was only moderate ; never-
' tholes's, the mutton trade ruled heavy, at Monday's decline
in value. The top figure for the best old Downs and half-
breeds was ss. 2d. per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which
was moderate, were very dull, and inferior veal gave way
2d. per 81bs. In pigs and mulch cows very little business
was transacted, on former terms.

SERIOUS SHELL EXPLOSION AT WOOLWICH
ARSENAL—Yesterday afternoon, at half-past two o'clock,
a very serious accident occurred at Woolwich Arsenal, by
the unexpected explosion of an 8-inch shell, which had
been returned with a number of similar shells as old stores
from the Channel Islands. It appears that a gang of la-
bourers were employed on the wharf in breaking up these
missiles, which had previously been tested to ascertain
if they were empty, when, on applying the hammer, one of
the shells exploded with a loud report, and the men stand-
ing near were thrown about in all directions. The utmost
consternation prevailel, and hundreds rushed to the spot
from all parts of the establishment, when it was found that
three men, named Daniel Bremmer, Morris Caen, and Wm.
Norgrove, had sustained extensive injuries, but fatal results
were not anticipated.
