SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY

_ . .
The weather being somewhat warmer than last week,_ the
butchers evinced. but little inclination to purchase largely.
The primest arrivals were, however, in fair request at: prices
about equal to those paid on Monday last; but the inferior and
second-rate ones were heavy, at, in most instances, a
decline in the quotations, of 2d. per 81bs. The highest
figure for the best Scots was 4s. 2d. per 81bs. At the close
of the market a total clearance had not been effected.- The.
numbers of Sheep were considerably on the increase, and or
full average quality.. Although the Mutton trade was
somewhat firmer than on Friday, it was by no means sce
active as on this day se'nnight, and prices ruled a trifle easier
than. on the.latter day. _ A few very superior old Downs sold at
ss. 2d., but the more general figure did not exceed ss. per sibs:
With Calves we were scantily Supplied, yet the Veal trade was-
in a very sluggish state, at barely stationary prices. In Figs.
only a limited business was doing, at last week's currencies,
There were a few Lambs' in• the market, but they sold very
irregularly.

MONEY MARKET,

-YESTERDAY

The English Stock market opened rather better to-day, but
has gone worse since. The rise in wheat again this morning,
the continued heart-rending accounts from Ireland, the unfor-
tunate embarrassment of the North of England Joint Stock Bank.
at Newcastle, and the high rate of interest afforded by railway
companies on debentures, all concur to favor bear operations.
Consols were 89.1 1, but are now 89-a for transfer to-morrow.
Time bargains have been made at 89} ; and the new scrip is
flat at # premium. Exchequer 13ilbi have realised 3s. to 6s.
premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 92 to 911. The Three per Cents, are shut. Bank Stock
is firm at 203.

No fewer than 70 persons are said to have perished at
the, fire in the Carlsruhe theatre, the destruction of which
is announced in another column.

The celebrated Mrs. Wood, whose appearance here
created such a sensation a short time since, is announced
to sing at two concerts next week., The attendance will
no doubt be exceedingly great.
Lord Howden arrived in London on Saturday from
Paris. His lordship had a lengthened interview with Sir
R. Peel. We hear that his lordship does not depart for
Rio Janeiro until the close of the ensuing week.

FATAD ACCIDENT.—On the 2d ult., as James Walsh,
of 50, Bispham-street, was working in the hold of a ship,
a sack of corn slipped out of the sling-, fell upon him, and
injured him so severely that he died en Thursday.

AMERICA.—We have not had any later advices from
America since our last. The packet-ship Henry Clay,
which was to leave New York on the 6th ult., is fully
due, and the steam-ship Cambria will prbbably arrive in
time for our next publication.
MR. O'CONNELL'S HEALTH.—The reports as to Mr.
O'Connell's • health are very conflicting. It is said, how-
vier, that he is alarmingly ill, and is labouring under
diarrhoea, in addition to his other complaints. It is added
that his mind is affected. _ _

FIRE LAST NIGHT.—A fire broke out last night, about-
ten o'idock. in a joiner's shop and yardi in Cartwright-
place, between Clayton-street and Byrom-street. An
engine was promptly on the spat, and; before going to
press, the fire was subdued.
JENNY LlND.—Jenny Lind has finally arranged to
come to London and sing at her Majesty's Theatre, Mr.
Lumley giving her an indemnity against all actions for
breach of contract with Mr. Bunn_ The battle in t
courts will therefore be fought, if at aid; between the till

managers

Poignant- to previous. arrangement, a deputation frOtri
" the Irish Pa•rty," consisting of Lord Monteagle, the
Right Hon. Frederic Shaw, M.P., Mr. George
Hamilton, M.P., Mr. Edward
regan, M.P., and )I'..
Anthony Lefroy, M.P., waited upoiti,e
at his official residence, Downing-strim,u, y 13,st,
for the purpose of submitting to his lordship-
lutions condemnatory of the propmd•new poor law, as

relief to the destitute
slit of unions at large
he powers intended to

able-bodied labourer; the assess'
instead of -electoral districts ; and tl
be conferred on relieving officers.
RATE OF INTEREST.—An advertisement of tenders for,
loans to the London and North-Western Railway Com-
pany, to be paicVnterest for at the advanced rate of 5 per
cent. per annum, has excited much• attention, and rather
taken people by surprise. It was considered, rather super-
ficially, perhaps, that a powerfuli, high-dividend-paying
and large capital-endowed company like that, should be
enabled to borrow money upon easier terms. Its securi-
ties, in many quarters, are held to be scarcely or little
inferior in value and solidity.everdo those of the govern-
ment. The fact should, however, rather be taken as a
sign of the times, and with a regard to accompanying
circumstances. For it must be observed, that no sums of
lass than five thousand pounds-..are to be accepted, and
that the rate of interest quoted is not gauranteed for more
than three years.
