METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

There was a fair average supply of beasts on offer in to-
day's market, and all breeds moved off steadily at fully
Monday's currency. We were favourably-well supplied
with sheep, for which the inquiry ruled very inactive.
Prime Downs and half breeds sold at full prices; but the
value of long-woolled sheep had a drooping tendency. The
few calves in the market were taken off steadily, at full
quotations. Pigs realised previons rates; but milch cows
were very dull.

commence on the 27th inst. The pulpit, which is composed
of costly marble of various descriptions, is hexagonal in
plan, and rests on a slab of Cork marble, upon which is a
sub -base of white-veined Carrara. Upon this sub-basement
at its outer edge, rise:l2 columns, which, with their bases
and capitals, are sft. 74in. in height, their bases being of
the Attic section, and formed of Plymouth black marble.
The capitals are of modified Corinthian design. The shafts
of the columns are of divers marbles—those at the extreme
angles of the hexagonal plan, six in number, being of Cork
marble, two of Mona green (from North Wales), two of
Plymouth gray, and two of verde antique.
CORONERS' SALARTES.—At the Devon Quarter
Session held last week a committee of magistrates, ap-
pointed for the purpose, recommended that salaries, on the
basis of five years' average of fees, travelling expenses, and
allowances, in accordance with the recent Act, with 10 per
cent. in addition, on account of the anticipated increase in
the number of inquests, be paid to the county coroners.
Several of the coroners attended and protested against the
small amount of remuneration which this would give them.
They complained that they had been receiving but 9d. per
mile for travelling expenses, whereas they could not travel
for less than ls. per mile, and that the fees for holding
inquests when they were adjourned were not sufficient in
such large districts as they had allotted to them. One of
the coroners, Mr. Cox, said the salary proposed to be paid
to him would only be at the rate of ss. Bd. per day, and
that ho should be reluctantly compelled to appeal to the
Secretary of State. Ultimately the subject waS
