AfUrrON FOR TM LuNpoN MARKET.

A curious expo& was--made .at Guildhall yesterday,
before Mr. Alderman Chfistaspher, Smith, to the parts.
Culac, of which it May be firoptith direct the public'
attention. A Gentleman, whose name did not transpire,
applied for the Magistrate's advice in what manner to
proceed, in order to pettish what he considered' to be
the brutal conduct of a' drover towards two sheep 'in
Smithfield market? The Gentleman stated, that he saw
the sheep on Monday afternoon, lying under the win-
dow of the Pitt's Head public-house, one of them already
dead, 'and the other etidently dying. In these circum-
stances, finding there was nobodythete either to attempt
to relieve them, or take any care of them, he had them
both put intis—ir hiekbey-coach, and taken t' the
Green-yard, where the surviving one, after a little c-ITC
and attention, recovered wonderfully ; and, according
to his judgment, was now not only alive, but well. The
drover bad applied to have them restored, upon paying
the Green-yard fees ; but the question upon which he
now wished the Magistrate's opinion was, whether the
fellow was not amenable to the law. and liable to be
fined for his inhumanity, in letting the sheep remain in
the market throughout the whole of Sunday night,
without any support or refreshment, and attempting, in
their exhausted state, to drive them through the streets?
The owner of the sheep, in reply to this statement,
said the sheep had been treated in the same manner as
all others were that were brought to Smithfield Mar-
ket, but they were in a most deplorable condition from
the rot. They were two of a lot of four that he had
purchased at 4s. each, merely for dogs' meat ; a large
drove of them, all equally diseased, had been sent up
from rent, and 300 more; as he understood, were to be
brought to market on Friday next, all similarly dis-
eased with the rot. There were, he said, several thou-
sands in the country that had been slightly affected
during the last autumn and winter, and bad been just
kept on their legs by the late long-continued dry wea-
ther; but as it was found impossible to fatten them,
and the rainy season was approaching, they would now
be sent to the London market as fast as they could be
got rid of. With regard to the two in question, they
had been left as the Gentleman described, till a truck
could be procured to convey them away, but on his re-
turn with it they were gone.
To corroborate the statement that the animals were
suffering from disease, and not ill-treatment, another •
drover, who had sold them to the former • man, now
stepped forward, and stated the condition in which the
animals were. He had killed 20 from the same drove
the day before, every one of which turned out to be
dreadfully diseased in the liver with the rot. It would
have been of no use to attempt to fatten them in that
condition, as all the food they took turned to water
upon the stomach.
Mr. Alderman Sums dismissed the charge of ill-
treatment, and said that he had reason to know that the
defendant's statement was very true ; that the diseased
sheep were now gradually being brought to London, to
be disposed of for what they would fetch, at prices from
15s. downwards. It would be hard to prevent the un-
fortunate farmer from making the best he could of hi2i
ill luck; indeed, as a Magistrate, he was not aware
that he had any authority to interfere, to prevent the
animals from being sent to market.

Count HARDINBERO, Minister from the Km of
Haxoexa to the Court of Austna, is on the point of
yetiel, and will be. succeeded at Vienna by Count
Vox ERIVIRLDT. •
