cursed in the number of Assistant Poor-law Commissioners by the

FOREIGN CATTLE AND PROVISIONS.—The General
Steam Navigation Company's ship Giraffe, which arrived off the
Custom house on Thursday evening, from Rotterdam, had on
board 27 oxen and one cow, 43 packages of fish of different de.
scriptions, about 500 packages of butter, 700 of cheese, besides a
quantity of eggs, yeast, and other articles of Dutch produce and
manufacture. The Tourist, reported the same day from Calais, had
10 packages of French poultry ; and the Rainbow, which arrived
at the St. Katharine's Steam-whalf, had nearly 100 packages of
eggs on board, besides a full cargo of merchandise, and a large
number of passengers from Havre, after a very quick passage.
The American line.of-packet ship Westminster also brought from
New York 136 tierces of beef, 150 barrels of pork, and about 2,100
packages of cheese, besides a large cargo of every other description
of American produce. The importation of foreign provisions has
lately increased to a very great extent.
It is with deep regret we etate that Vincent
Stuckey, Esq., the eminent banker, died suddenly in his library,
at his seat in Langport, on the night of the Bth inst. He was in
his 74th year. The deceased was most deservedly respected by all
with whom his exteusive mercantile transactions brought him ae-
kma9ited.—Somerset County Herald.
