CATTLE MARKET.—The shOw to-day consisted of 554
head of cattle ; viz. 310 three-years olds ; 135,tw0-years-
olds ; 51 stirks ; 9 queys, and 23 cows. The heavy stock
was all good, and though some lots were considerably larger
in bone than others, it may be said with truth that there
were no inferior cattle in the market. Sales, however
were dull and prices on the decline. From all we could
learn, it was late in the day before a single lot of heavy
cattle was sold, and prices, as compared with the preceding
week, fell at least 10s. per head. Though offers were
meade for every let, some of these were not accepted, and
ultimately, we understand, two or three scores left the mar-
ket unsold. The best lot of three or four-years-olds
brought 111. ss. ; the second do. 11/. ; the third do.
10/. 7s. ; the fourth do. 10/. 75., and the fifth 9/. 9s. A
number of other lots sold at prices va►ying from 81. to 91.
The two-years.olds were considered a very fair show, and
sewed to be in demand ; we observed one lot of Gallo-
ways, in pretty good condition, sell for 6 guineas ; another,
which was rather heavier, brought about 71. and from that
to 51., may be considered the rate of the market. Stirks,
did not sell so well, and prices were said not to be satisfac-
tory; indeed with the exception of one or two lots, the
show of stills was very poor. Cows sold well ; those
with calves at their feet went off at from 9/. to 12/. ; cows
in calf brought from 6/. to 9/.

pORK I\IARKET,----1 87 carts. The Pork market, which
in most parts is rapidly decreasing, seems in Dumfries to
be following the opposite direction. As might be expected
—from the great supply at such an improper time, and
from the circumstance of many dealers having entirely left
the market, and those who still attend, buying more cau-
tiously than formerly—prices experienced a heavy depres-
sion. In the morning, when the show was small, dealers
were more cautious than last week, and above ss. l Od.
and ss. l Id. could not be got for the best pork, and from
that to ss. 6d. included the rate of the market : when,
hovieeer, the rapid influx of carts seemed to predict a large
show, dealing was almost at a stand, and buyers began to
offer lower prices, which, after a long struggle, sellers were
ultimately compelled to accept of, and good pork then
might be had at front ss. to ss. 6d., and at the common
hour for the conclusion of the market, the contents of
nearly a hundred carts still remained to be sold, but, with
the exception of a few carts, which preferred going home,
all was latterly disposed of at the depression of prices.

LIVE PIGs.—I 1 carts,—pigs from four to seven weeks
old, sold at from 7s. to 18s. each ; from 7 weeks, up-
wards, prices rated from 18s. to 255. each ; this was con-
sidered a very brisk market, and in the afternoon all was
disposed of.

The KING'S pardon is offered in the Gazette
of Tuesday to any but the actual perpetrators of the diabo-
lical barbarities recently perpetrated at Grimsby, who will
give such information as may lead to the conviction of the
offenders.—Hull Pocket.

The Assizes for this county will commence

Baron Itum.ocs. No business will, however, be trans-
acted until this day week—Liverpool Albion.
We last week informed mar readers that the
unfortunate EWART had received a respite; and we have
now the pleasure of announcing, that his MAJEsTv hae
been graciously pleased to commute the sentence into int-
prisonMent for l l months.—Caledonian Mercury.
A Deputation from the persons interested in

the pilchard Fishery in this county, consisting of ALraED
Fox and WILLIAM LAKE, Esqrs. have proceeded to Lon-
don, for the purpose of laying before his Majesty's Mimi-
:ters the state of the Fishery, and the disastrous conse-
quences that must result from a total withdrawal of the
bounty now allowed by law, on the fish exported.—E.re-
ter Alfred.

On Tuesday evening, a vast quantity of pil-
chards made their appearance near St. Maµ•es, and about
sixty hogsheads were taken in some ground scans that
were at hand. The appearance of a large shoal of pil,
chards on the Cornish coast, at this season of the year, is,
as far as we have been able to learn, an unprecedented oe-
eurrence.—Exeter Alfred. _ _

kIRKDALE,AIma '3.—We have .had a
tolerable good supply of Beef, which was; in good deroand,
the price of which remain steady at our last quotations.
The supply of Mutton was fair, and met ready sale. Beef

DRUNKENNESS.—This vice is rapidly on the
increase in this city ; drunken people are met at every
turn in the streets during the evening, and very often in
the forenoon. Two men were tined ss. and costs, at the
Exchange, on Wednesday, for this offence ; and an Irish
niggler paid a similar penalty. This man was picked up
in the streets the previous night, " dead drunk," wad
taken to the House Correction, where it was discovered
that he had no less than :40 sovereigns about him.—

cause of the cow's death. He caused her to be opened,
and found the heart to be of more than usnal dimensions;
and on examining it more attentively, he found a wire of
more than two inches in length sticking in it, which had
so mortified the part, that a hole had broke out, in which

be extremely cautious in using these riddles, particularly
when they are old and rotten.--Edinburgh Evening

Yesterday a meeting of the Performers of this Theatre,
to which the public was invited to attend, was convened
at the Freemasons Tavern. The object of the meeting was
to consider the best mode of relieving the unfortunate suf-
ferers by the falling of the New Brunswick Theatre.
Mr. FasvcrrT was called to the Chair, from which ha
stated the object for which the meeting was convened. The
course which it had been thought proper by the Covent.
garden Performers to adopt was this—to give one night's
salary from the whole Company—(Hear, hear.)—this was
similar to what in the Army and Navy was called
day's pay." He would only further state what was in -
tended to be done with the money so collected. The Lord
Mayor intended to convene a meeting to.morrow, at which
a General Committee would be formed, and to that Com-
mittee, which would consist of many respectable and intel-
ligent persons, would he (Mr. F.) hand over whatever was
collected at that meeting to-day. He would only deem It
necessary to add, that the benefactions of those present,
whether connected with Covent-garden Theatre or not
would be now received, and to state that Mr. Egerton bad
kindly consented to act as Treasurer and Secretary on this
occasion.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. G. Ronnie stated, that he attended the Drury-tans
Meeting yesterday, and felt great pleasure in attending the
Covent. garden one to-day. The calamity was mOrvextet.
sive than many persons supposed. Thefamilies of t`:-,5,
who had perjehed were not the only sufferers. Many whiz
had survived were maimed—some of them frightfully tlis-
torted—and all most miserably situated. Nor was the ea.
'amity confined to those unfortunate surviving sufferers.
but their families, who depended upon them for support.
were reduced to utter want, unless public benevolence
in-
terposed to avert it from them. The Hon. Gentleman
concluded by congratulating the Members of Covent-garden
and Drury-lane Companies for taking the prominent part
%Thiel) they had done on this melanehely and ebatitebly
occasion.

A liberal subscription wus then entered into. Among
the subscriptions were the following :—Salaries of the
Covent-garden Company, for one night 1431. ; the Duchess
of Bedford, 10/. ; Mr. Fawcett, 10/. ; Mr. C. Kenoble,
Mr. Willet, Captain Forbes, Proprietor, 10/. each, 30/. ;
Mr. Kean, 201. ; Mr. Durant, 10/. ; Mr. Young, 10/.
Sir G. Smart, 10/. ; Mr. Duruset, 3/. ; Mr. Planche,s!.
Mr. Sapio, 5/. ; Mr. T. Cooke, 3/. Ss. ; the Mite of
Half-pay Officer, '3s. ; Mr. Raymond, 21. 2s.
Mr. YATES (of the Adelphi Theatre) intimated tLaz
the performers of the Adelphi Theatre had subscribed be-
tween 40/. and 59/. towards the relief of the unfortunat,
sufferers.

This announcement was reveived with general cboering.
The proprietor of the Freemasons' Tavern declined to make
any charge for the accommodation of the room in whi.-.1
the Meeting was held, and subscribed 5/. towards tha
Charitable Fund.

On the motion of Mr. G. ROBINS, thanks were votci
to Mr. Fawcett, for his conduct in the Chair on the pre-
sent occasion, and for the readiness which he evinced, oz,
all occasions, in the cause of charity. This resolutioz
was carried by acclamation ; after which the MeetizF
broke up at three o'clock.
