METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

This was the opening of the lamb season, and a good
show was made, but the change in the weather was against
the trade, which ruled dull, at rates quoted as under.
With beef the market was only moderately supplied,
but was quite as much as could be disposed of at Monday's
rates. The foreign arrivals were 110 head.
There was a good supply of sheep, and w ith a dull trade
prices were barely so firm, although not to be quoted lower.
Foreign supplies were 1,280 head.
There was a fair arrival of veal, including 240 calves
from abroad, and the trade was steady at quotations.
Pork met a fair demand. Only 10 pigs arrived from the
Continent.

ROYAL NA7IONAL LIFEBOA7 111787 ITU-

7701 V.

A meeting of this institution was held on Thurs-
day, at its house, John-street, Adelphi, Mr.
Thomas Chapman, F.R.S., V.P., in the chair. The
minutes of the previous meeting having been read,
a reward of £25 was granted to pay the expenses
of the Caister large lifeboat the " Birmingham,"
in putting off during a heavy gale of wind on
the Bth ultimo, and, after considerable diffi-
culty, bringing ashore the crew of fifteen men
and a large ship's dog from the barque Spark-
ling Wave, of Sunderland, which had stranded
and afterwards became a total wreck on the
South Scroby Sand. The same lifeboat was also
instrumental on the 28th ultimo in saving the
schooner Wave, of Boston, and her crew of four
men. ahe vessel had stranded during heavy blow-
ing weather on the south part of the Inner Barber
Sand, where, but for the timely arrival of the life-
boat, she would have become a total wreck, and her
All probability have perished. -A
reward of £22 was also voted to pay the expenses of
the institution's lifeboat stationed at Penmon,
in going off during a gale of wind, and rescuing
eight of the crew of the brig Jabez, of Scarborough
which had stranded on the Dutchman's Bank,
off the Anglesey coast, on the 23d ult. The
master of the vessel having failed to get into
the long boat, from which the lifeboat took three
of the men, unfortunately perished. A reward
of £lB 13s. was likewise granted to pay the
expenses of the lifeboat at the Lizard, in going off
during a fresh breeze from the N.N.E. on the night
of the 26th ult., and bringing ashore two men who
were found in the fore-topmast of the schooner
Selina, of Swansea, which was totally wrecked on
the Outer Stag rocks, near Lizard. The master of
the vessel and a boy were unfortunately drowned
before the arrival of the lifeboat. The secretary of
the Looe branch had reported that while the life-
boat was out for her usual quarterly exercise during
a strong wind on the 27th ult., she fell in with a
small boat containing two fishermen,who were in great
distress, as they were quite unable to pull against the
strong wind, and were rapidly (Living off the coast.
The lifeboat at once took the small boat in tow, and
brought her and the crew safe to land. The Wex-
ford and Cahore lifeboats had gone of on the 22d
ult. during a fresh gale of wind, and had, in con-
junction with some steam-tugs,
succeeded in get-
ting off the ship Conway Castle, of Liverpool, from
the Black water Bank, upon which she had stranded.
Rewards were also granted to the crews of the
society's lifeboats at Padstow, Winchelsea, Camp-
eiSouthport, Lytham, and Courtown, for
bvartn
various services during the recent gales. Various
other rewards were also granted to the crews of
different shore-boats for saving life from ship-
wrecks on our coasts. Payments, amounting to
£730, were also ordered to be made on various
lifeboat establishments. It .was reported that the
Earl of Strafford had liberally offered to present to
the institution a lifeboat to be stationed on the
Isle of Portland, if one could be shown to be needed
there. A lady, through Captain Fishbourne, R.N.,
C. 8., had expressed a wish to present to the insti-
tution, in memory of a deceased son, the new life-
boat about to be placed at Broadstairs. It was also
stated that Mr. Christopher Brown, of Settle, York-
shire, had collected altogether upwards of £BOO for
the institution, and it was decided to appropriate to
him the new lifeboat about to be sent to Penmon,
Anglesey, and to name it the " Christopher
Brown." During the past month new lifeboats
had been sent to Ross Links, Holy Island ; Bull-
bay, Anglesey ; Penarth, Wales ; and Stonehaven,
N.B. A hearty reception had been given to
the boats at these places. The Master of Sid-
ney Sussex College, Cambridge, had readily
granted to the institution a site of ground on which
to build a Cleethorpes lifeboat-house. The insti-
tution had received a legacy of £l9 195., left to it
by the late Mr. Edward Weston, of Leicester ;
£lOO had also been bequeathed to it by the late
Mr. Roger Barrow, of Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The Worshipful Company of Mercers had given
an additional donation to the society of fifty
guineas. Mr. Martin Gray, merchant, of St.
John's, Antigua, and Captain N. Marquand, of
the .barque Matchless, of Guernsey, had collected
for .the institution, in the island of Antigua,
£3O. The Rev. F. Hutton, chaplain of Messrs.
Bagnall's school church, Gold's-hill, West Brom-
wich, had also forwarded the sum of £5 17s.
Bd., being a moiety of a collection made in that
church in aid of the funds of the institution. Re-
ports were read from the inspector and assistant-
inspector of lifeboats on their recent visits to vari-
ous lifeboat stations on the coast. It was stated
that Mr. Thomas Brooks, who had previously
painted an admirable picture of a lifeboat ser-
vice, had now completed another fine paint-
ing of the " Launch of a Lifeboat," which would
probably be-included in the forthcoMing exhibition
at the Royal Academy. The proceedings Ulm ter-
minated.

LAW IN Day.

CHANCERY CHAMBERS.
THE EARL OF JERSEY V. DICKER AND YATES:

In this case, which has been before reported, an
application was made to settle the suits in
Chancery. It will be recollected that Lord
Jersey had obtained an injunction to restrain
the defendants from proceeding on a number
of acceptances given by his lordship, and subse-
quently an application was made by his lordship
that the bills of exchange he had given should be
deposited in Court pending the suit, and the matter
was adjourned to Vice-Chancellor Stuart for the
17ch inst. Since then the suit has been arranged
between the parties.
Mr. Lording (Freshseld and Co.) stated that he
had to apply on the part of Lord Jersey that the
large sum paid into court by his lordship when the
injunction was obtained should be paid out to his
lordship, and that the suit should be dismissed, each
party paying their own costs.
The other side here consented.

Mr. Dalston, for Mr. Dicker, and Mr. Turner,
on the part of the other defendant (Mr. Yates),
attended, and consented.

Chief Clerk (11r. Charde)—Then the case is
settled ?

Air. Ludwig—Yes, sir. All we want is your
order that the sum paid into court (£8,100) should
be repaid to the plaintiff. _

The Chief Clerk said he could make the order
subject to the approval of the judge. It was a
matter of course, but he generally sent cases, in
which money had been paid, to the Court.
The order was made merely to be mentioned, and
satisfaction was expressed at the conclusion of the
proceedings.
