METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts on sale in to-day's market was mo-
derate. The primest breeds moved off steadily, at full
prices ; otherwise, the trade was in a sluggish state, at Mon-
day's decline in the quotation. We were fairly supplied
with sheep, and the demand ruled inactive at late curren-
cies. The top value was 5s 4d to 5s Gd per 81bs. Good and
prime lambs were in improved request at extreme rates, but
inferior breeds sold slowly on former terms. A few pens
realised Gs per 81bs. Calves met a very heavy sale, and in
some instances prices ruled somewhat easier. Pigs changed
hands slowly at It.te rates.

Per 81b, to sink the offal.

MURDER BY A MUTE IN IRELAND.--We are
pained to announce that, on Wednesday night last, or early
on Thursday morning, a brutal murder was committed at
at Tullyallen, Tipping, in the neighbourhood of Newtown-
hamilton, by a dumb man, named J. Collins. The victim
was a small farmer, named Peter M'Ardle, who resided
alone in a small cottage in Tullyallen. Collins was in the
habit of lodging now and again with the murdered man;
and it is stated that he is some remote relation of WArdle.
In the course of Friday the murderer was arrested. Col-
lins at once acknowledged that he Ind committed the deed,
stating that two neighbours (whom he named at the time)
had told him to ,6 murder 111' Ardle with the crowbar." The
prisoner was lodged'. in the. Newry
