METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

A very short supply of beasts, chiefly in middling con-
dition, was on offer in to-day's market. For all kinds we
had a steady inquiry, at an advance in the quotations
realised on Monday of 2d per 81bs. Sheep, the show of
which was moderate, were in request, at very full prices.
We had a good demand for lambs, at extreme rates, viz.,
5s 4d to Os 8d per Sibs. The few calves in the market sold
briskly, at 2d per 81bs more money. Pigs and milch cows
were steady, but not dearer.

THE MURDER AT WESTBROMWICIL—Yesterday
an inquest was held at the Royal Exchange, in Westbrom-
wich, on the body of John Corbett, the miner, who, it will
be remembered, after murdering his wife in that town on
the night of the 25th of last month, cut his own throat in a
most frightful manner, using for the purpose the knife with
which he had just before taken his wife's life. Against Cor-
bett the coroner's jury who investigated the cause of his
wife's death, returned a verdict of wilful murder. Ho was
