SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY.

The weather being somewhat unfavourable to slaughtering,
the Beef trade was by no means brisk ; yet the primest Scots,
Devons, andaunts, trom their scarcity, moved off steadily, at
fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the prices obtained on
Monday last, the primest Scots producing from ss. to ss. 2d.
per 8 lb. ; but all other kinds were a slow sale, and previous
rates were with difficulty supported. However, previous to thll
close of business, a good clearance was effected.
The primest old Downs readily produced ss. 4d. per 81b.,, and
most of the supply was cleared off. The number of lambs was
seasonably extensive. Still, however, the lamb trade wasfirm,
and the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight were fairly
supported. The best down qualities sold at Gs. 4d. per Bth.
The supply of Calves being large the Veal trade was heavy.
at prices barely equal to those paid last week.
Prime small Pigs moved off steadily; otherwise, the -Pork
trade was in a depressed state.

MONEY NI ARKET-Y EwritRDAY.

The decline in the prices •of grain and flour in Mark-lane
the auspicious appearance of the weather, and the easy state &
the money market, have exercised a further very decided in-
fluence on public securities this morning. Consols fer the
opening commenced at 88-1, were afterwards done at 89i, but
in consequence of some of the speculators for the advance rea-
lising profits, a reaction took place to 89i, at which they are
now buyers. The scrip of the loan has at the same time ad-
vanced to 1 pm., the Reduced Three per Cents. have been done
at 80i, and the Three-and-a Quarter as high as 011, Exchequer-
bills are also firmer, those for large amounts being Bto and
the small 18 to 20 premium.

shape of a dinner, with wines, &c., at the Aigburth

select party of friends partook. The dinner was excellent,
and the evening was passed with great satisfaction by the
party present, towards which Mr. Carson, of Aigburth,
proprietor of the new omnibuses established on that road,
and who is considered " a second Lawrence," from the
style in which he provides for the convenience of the Aig-
burth people, materially contributed. The gardens and
grounds and thewhole arrangements of the Hotel are just
now in beautiful order.
THE WALLASEY INDEPENDENT FRIENDLY SOCIETY.

—The anniversary meeting of this excellent and flourish-
ing Society took place yesterday, with all the usual joy-
ous demonstrations of the occasion. The members met
at nine o'clock, at Messrs. Parry's pleasure-grounds,
Seacombe Hotel, to the number of about 300, all neatly
and respectably attired, and headed by Joliffe's band,
proceeded on their rural walk, halting- by previous invita-
tion at he residence of Mr. Peers, of the Magazines, to
drink the health of her gracious Majesty in a bumper
each of " brown stout." The members were delighted
by the compliment, and the, civility shown them. They
walked in procession thence to Wallasey Church, where,
joined by a large assemblage, they heard an excellent,
feeling, and admonitory discourse from the Rev. Dr.
Byrth, the rector, from the text, " Give us this day our
daily bread." After service they walked through the
village of Wallasey, thence to Poulton, and thence to the
club-room, where, with their friends, they partook of a
sumptuous dinner,—Henry. Meadows, Esq., president,
and Mr. William Webster vice-president. There *ere
present the Rev. the Rector, Wm. Mann, Esq., Wm.
Peers, Esq., Mr. Hill, Mr. Halliday, surgeon, and other
gentlemen of the neighbourhood. The usual loyal toasts
were followed by othera more immediately appertainingto
the club. Dr. Byrth delivered a most impressive awl
eloquent speech in reference to the objects of the society,
and the duties of the members as Christians and brothers.
The whole village was a scene of hilarity throughout the
day, and the festivity, with music, games, dancing, Sco..
was prolonged to a late hour.
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—Madame Warton and her in-
teresting and talented corps, have, during the past week
drawn crowded and admiring audiences; indeed the at-
tendance has far surpassed that of any prior week, and so
great and enthusiastic has been the applause that followed
each tableaux, that we may expect the present to exceed
by far the past. The beautiful and effective pictures
formed by this company—in numbers greater, and
in
equipment surpassing their predecessors—have been most
astounding. The well-turned limbs and beautiful pro-
portions of the male and female artists are so tastetoill
displayed, that without being in the slightest degree offen-
sive to the most refined ideas, they form apparent statu-
ary worthy of the age of Raphael. To particulariset,l:
poses would be useless,- as each has its peculiar beau j, .
—chastity and elegance being the principal aim. Triz
week, we learn, Madame Warton appears in every tableau,
1 and on Wednesday there will be a day as well as an even'
ing performance, being for her benefit.
