SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET v - ESTERDAY

The number of beasts was not so large, trade was in conse-
quence better. From Holland we had 396, Scotland 220, Nor-
folk and Suffolk 2000, and 750 from various parts of the coun-
tr). The supply of sheep and lambs was not so great, the
former sold at advanced prices. Lambs slid not sell so well,
From Holland there were 860 sheep and 62 calves. The calf
trade was dull for inferior quality, prime were in demand at
Friday's prices. Beef, inferior quality, 3s. 4d. to 45. ; first

ACCESSION TO LIVERPOOL PROFESSIONAL

TALENT

We have great pleasure in directing attention to the adver-
tisement of Mr. Goodall, in another column, announcing his
having settled permanently in Liverpool, where he purposes
giving lessons in dancing and calisthenic exercises, but mote
especially pursuing his career as a professor of the violin and
violoncello. We have been favoured with an opportunity, in
private, of hearing Mr. Goodall's performance upon the former
instrument, which he has studied under De Beriot and Mori,
and can honestly state that, as a solo performer, whether for
tone or execution, he is not excelled by the best masters, and
does credit to those eminent men who have afforded him the
benefit of their instructions. We hope shortly to have the op•
portunity of hearing him in public, when the manic-loving
people of Liverpool will find that they have secured in him an
acquisition to their stock of professional talent not to be got
at except from sources too costly to be resorted to except on
extraordinary occasions.

EASTHAM FERRY.—This truly romantic ferry, one •-• (if
the most. lovely retreats on the banks of the Mersey, mal
now be said to be fairly opened for the season. A ne°l
slip, which greatly facilitates the landing, has been erected'
and that a continual communication may be kept UP',
another boat (we believe from the Clyde) has been place°
on the station to run in conjunction with the Royal Tarp
the swiftest boat on the river; indeed, no effort is spare(
by the proprietor, Mr. Nicholls, to make this ferry I'4
fashionable and convenient, as it is beautiful and pictn'
resque.
GLASS DEVOTED TO A NEW PURPOSE.—GIa3S, of
rich ruby colour, has been used, instead of the old ebony'
for the sharp or flat keys of the organ of All Saints'
Northampton. The Bedford Times suggests that thee
idea may be happily applied to the whole key board 0}
the piano-forte, with a tasteful diversity or iridescence
colours. If not too smooth for the friction of the gen"e
cushions usually applied to such electrifiers, and if not s:
cold in winter to the touch as the ebony and igirildconot
wonder if the idea may find favour in
tract certainly is at all times to the sighight eyes, and adds we s
a new grace where so much of the
graceful is already
often concentered.—The Builder- - A
MR. ROGERSONS ESTABLISHMENT, CHURCH-sTREET.—
Day by day we see internal and external alterations in the
{,right
business-premises of Liverpool, but none of late hal°

given us more infinite gratification than those now coon'
pleting at this even hitherto beautiful establishment'
Within the last few years Mr. Rogerson has not only Ct:
tended ow ior,coh of his shop, but has engrossed Oao
whole of the adjoining prembe., and now, in order an,
the appearance may be in no way behind' the extent 0!
the establishment, it has been literally re-built, The
part which has a great breadth to Church-street is stucco
in the Grecian style of architecture, with balustrades ei
the top, hearing an escutcheon, on which is raised in hi+
sans serif characters the name "Rogerson." The vie;
dows which are of plate glass, are surmounted in the Oil,"
style, and the whole presents not only a pleasing but "'"
imposing and splendid appearance. The front to Williatet,"
son-street will be of the same character. The intern
alterations alterations are such as will enable the proprietor to Go
every facility to his numerous friends and patrons in tP
dispatch of business in all the branches he so ably coo:
ducts. On viewing the spacious room appropriated to tie
mantle, shawl and scarf department, we were particularh
struck with the truly splendid appearance of the interior'
fitted up as it has been in a most tasteful and elegant rutieni
ner. We are sure that all who may avail themselves
the opportunity of witnessing it will agree with us in or
nion that the beauty of its design is worthy of imitatioo%
ETYMOLOGY.—The word " cobbler" is derived fro'
" coble" or " cobble," a round, hard stone found in the
beds of streams, and brought down from the mountain`'
and rounded by the floods ; a stone of this kind being use'
by cobblers to beat their leather upon.
A THREAT.—A good specimen of Lord Ellenboroughs
pungent humour not always observant of time nd place;
is given by Lord Eldon. Upon the occasion of a ivy!"
marriage, there being much talk during the ceremony
..„11)
one corner of the drawing-room, his lordship exclaimel„
" Be silent in that corner of the room, or you shall be MP'
ried yourselves !"
