CATUE Mane.rr.—The sands to-day (as wse expected
from the tine state of the weather, and the brisk s'sle the
grazing cattle have met with for some weeks past) rtes
rented a very fine show of stirks and two-years-olds—their'
numbers were as follow, viz., 293 three years olds and up--
wards ; 507 two-years-olds ; 418 stirks ; SO highlanders ;
233 queys; 101 Inshore, principally two-years-olds; 51
cows—total 1,683. The small show of drove cattle which
was brought forward could not be said to be any better in
dealing than they were last week, and although they were
mostly disposed of, prices are still low ; they rated as fol-
lows—for the best lot of Galloway four-year-olds, 111. 15s.
and the next best 111. 10s. per head ; fiir the best lot of
three-year-olds, 10 guineas; for the second best. nine
guineas, and for the third best, 91. The two-years-olds
exposed to-day were a heavier and better show than we
have bad fur some weeks past, and consequently brought
higher prices—the general run was from 6/. 10s. to M. bs.
per bead. We have not seen a better show of queys and
heifers for many weeks past ; they sold well and generally
at from 6/. 10s. to 51. 18s. per head. Galloway stirks
sold at from 6/. 10s. to t/. We. per head. The show of
Irish two-years-olds was pretty fUr in point of quality;
and a few of them were sold ; but the show of stirks was
a very poor one, and we san, a farmer of this neighbour-
hood buying a small lot at the rate of twenty-eight shillings
per head ; the purchaser justly remarked that " the !snit
wee things had got siccan a doun-set in their youth,that he
did ma ken boo he could bring them about ava." A large
lot of Ayrshire cows was brought forward, but we undet-
stand the owner seeing no prospect of meeting with a pur-
chaser to his mind, drove them off early. Although to-
day's show of small cattle was the best we have seen this
season, still business did not eventually turn out so well as
it has done for some time past; dealing in the morning
was very brisk, but towards the evening it abated much
of its keenness, and a few lots were nut sold at all.

:KETS.—June 18.

Tics.—Our show of Pigs was a very fine one to .day,
consisting of 21 carts ; dealing began very and
nearly the whole were sold off; the esic, 1“,.. -
tainly been very high this season ; and a little creature of
three weeks of age will readily bring I Is. ; and from that
to 225. per head was commonly the run of the market.

EXAMINATION OF THE REV. ME. FENN•

An investigation took place yesterday at the Fleet Pri-
son, in consequence of several charges of forgery having
been preferred against the Rev. Mr. Fenn, who was con-
tined in that prison.
Mr. Vincent, a solicitor, of the Temple, produced
a bill of exchange, purporting to be drawn by Robert
Hall on Joseph Clothier, of Church-street, Lambeth, for
1501., and accepted by' the latter, payable at No. 7,
Bloomsbury market. This bill became due on the 14th
of May last; and on witness making inquiries, he found
that the acceptor was not known at either Church-street
or Bloomsbury market. He was well acquainted with the
prisoner's hand-writing, and could testify that the indorse-
ment on the back of the bill was written by the prisoner.
Mr. Pratt, of Parliament-street, said he discounted the
bill for the prisoner, and saw him indorse it.
Wm. Davison, of Hyde-street, Bloomsbury, said he had
been employed by the prisoner as his usher. There was a
boy in the school named John Clothier, but his parents
lived in Castle-street, Bloomsbury.
Mr. Vincent then produced a hill for 501., purporting to
be drawn by J. B. Phillips on James Powell, Esq. of Col-
chester, and made payable at Mess's. Hankey's. The
answer there, on the bill being presented, was, that they
knew no such person. Mr. Vincent said, he was well ac•-
quainted with the prisoner's hand-writing, and was sure
he had written the signatures " Powell and Phillips," and
also the two indorsements, " J. P. Phillips and P. Fenn."
Mr. Davison said, he had written the whole of the billy
except the signatures and indorsements, by direction of the
• prisoner, from a copy. He did not know who wrote the
signatures.
Mr. Pratt said, he discounted this bill also for the pri-
soner. Mr. Pratt added, that in the course of a convet-
cation he had with the prisoner when he was locked up at
the Sheriff's officer's house in Chancery-lane, be admitted
that the two bills which he (Mr. Pratt) had discounted,
were forgeries.
Mr. Vincent then produced two bills of exchange—one
for one hundred and fifty pounds ten shillings, drawn by
the prisoner on James Lucetto, of Old Brompton, payable
at Mr. Weaver's, 3t, Parliament-street ; the other was for
2001., drawn by James C. Newman on and accepted by
William Wright, a jeweller, at Newcastle, made payable a
Messrs. Fry and Chapman's. These bills had been dis-
honoured and disclaimed at the places where they were
made payable; and witness being well acquainted with the
prisoner's hand-writing, could swear that the signatures of
the drawer and acceptor were written by the prisoner.
John Cook said, he had discounted these bills on his
mother's behalf for the prisoner.
The prisoner was then committed upon these charges,
and the prosecutors were advised to remove the prisoner by
habeas corpus to Newgate.
Mr. Barry, who appeared for the prosecution, said,' he
had several bills of exchange before him, besides those men-
tioned above; lint the Alderman restrained him. It
however, whispered about that Mr. Cook holds forgeries to
the amount of 3,0001., and Mr. Pratt to about 8001.

THE LONDON UNIVERSITY.—TIirce native
merchants at Bombay have taken shares in the University
of London. In transmitting the order upon their corres •
pondents in London to pay the 3001., the amount of the
shares, they say,--4, Having
been recently favoured with a
perusal of the papers relating to the University of London,
and having received a particular explanation of the objects
which it has in view, we deem it happy that an opportu-
nity is afforded us of contributing our mite toward their
promotion. Independently of a desire to give support .to so
noble an institution for its intrinsic merits, we have great
delight in the prospect of exerc!sing the rights of presenta-
tion which our respective shares confer on the sons of
English gentlemen, who have engaged our affection in the
intercourse of life or business, but on retirement to their
native land with a numerous offspring, do net command
the funds to afford their sons a liberal education." The
letter is signed--
