SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERVAT.

We have an extraordinary supply of Beasts ; the demand
also is very considerable. On the average, trade is scarcely so

good as on Friday, yet we cannot quote the choicest qualities at
less money. Large as the number is, the whole is likely to be
cleared off at very little reduction in the second-rate descriptions.
We have about 2,200 from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire,
and Warwickshire ; 400 from Lincolnshire, 60J from Holland
and Germany, 100 from Ireland,. and the remainder from vari-
ous parts of the country.

Tlie number of Sheep is about the same as last week; rather
a short supply ; trade brisk at about the same prices.
Calves are not so plentiful ; trade hardly so brisk as on Fri-
day, but good quality are quite as dear. Scarcely any inquiry
for Lambs. Pigs continue as dear. From Holland and
Germany there are 3250 Sheep and 216 Calves.

The English funds opened heavily this- morning, the quota-
tions being lower by per cent. than at the close on Saturday.
Uneasiness is still felt at what to many seems a doubtful,
if not even a dangerous, state of affairs• between Austria
and the Pope, but otherwise there has been no 'fresh circum-
stance to favour the position of parties operating for the rise.
There has, up to the present hour, been very little doing.
Consols 87j to for money, and 87i to 8 for account. Exche-
quer Bills 4s. to 7s. premium.

The Ola Over says that a proclamation, by order of the
Queen in council, will be issued at the propertime, direct-
ing a general thanksgiving for the blessings of the present
bountiful harvest ;• but that nothing official will be an-
nounced prior to her Majesty's return from Scetland.
The Emperor of Russia, on receiving the news of the
late fire at Archangel, immediately remitted a sum equal
to 200,000 f. for the relief of the sufferers, and ordered
50,000 pieces of timber, belonging to the government, to
be sent towards the rebuilding of the houses burnt down-

FURTHER FAihuRES, —Another failure was announced
to-day in the corn trade, the firm being that of Thomas
Booker, Sons, and Co: The amount of liabilities has not
been stated, but it is considered probable it will be found,
to range between £30,000 and £50,000. We have also to

REFUSAL OF AN ALDERMAN TO OBEY AN ACT OF.
PARLIAMENT.—At the City police committee, on Satur-
day, Mr. Gill, the pass-master to the city of London, at-
tended with several Irish families before Mr. Alderman
Farebrother, for the purpose of passing them home. One
of the persons, a woman with five children, informed the
alderman that she was to be sent home against her will,
for she had no person in Ireland living to whom she was
related. The family had, like many others, come to Eng-
land through want, and were landed at Liverpool, from
whence, although they were ill, they were sent to London,
where the husband died the next day. They had since
been in the City of London Union, but the guardians had

to Ireland. Mr. Al-
Trtainly not sign the
Russell, the clerk to

derman Farebrother said he should
order of removal, and directed Mr.
the board of guardians, to be sent for. That officer sub-
sequently attended, and said it was the wish of the woman
to-go back ; besides it was necessary to send back the
casual paupers. Mr. Alderman Farebrother said she had,
with tears in her eyes, told him a very different story, and
although it was necessary to send some of them back, he
certainly should not sign a pass to send back a poor wo-
man who declares that she has not a single relative left,
and thus force her and her five children to die from want
of food. He certainly would not be a party to such pro-
ceedings. Mr. Russell submitted that he was compelled

that he

the poor Creatures to d

rived in Ireland, or on their
yesterday.
