SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY.

A few of the very primest Scots sold at ss. per 81b. ; but the
more general figure for the best beef was 4s. 10d. per 81b. At
the close of the market scarcely an? of the beasts remained un-
sold.

The mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances, the best
old Downs—which were unusually scarce—sold at ss. 2d. per
8 lb., being a slight advance on the currencies obtained on
Monday last. In all breeds of Sheep a good business was
doing, at very full prices.
The Veal trade was in a sluggish state, at barely stationary'
prices.

Prime small Porkers were in steady request, at fully previous
quotations.

MONEY MARKET-YESTERDAY.

The men on the Hindley section of the Liverpool and
Bury Railway have been discharged from employment. ./

ceed him at Stockport.
Messrs. Gundry's bank at Bridport has stopped pat-
ment. The debts are of moderate amount. and the liqw"
dation is not likely to prove an unfavourable one.
A verdict of "wilful murder" has been returned, at
Gravesend, by a coroner's jury, against a man of the
name of Fisher, for the murder of his wife, by adminis-
tering to her poisoi in some gruel.
The Westmeath Guardian gives currency to a report
that a serjeant of police, who was active in search for the
assassins of Major Mahon, was shot on Thursday last.
The rumour, however, requires confirmation.
A journal called The Telegraph is announced to be
published in London, daily, at twelve o'clock; it will be
exclusively devoted to' publishing the news received by the
electric telegraph. The price will be threepence.
Whilst the poor-law guardians of the Nenagh union
were sitting last week, in the board-room, about 300 able-
bodied men and women forced open the gate, and rushed
towards the workhouse. They were exceedingly violent,
and threatened the gmardians with personal injury, but the
arrival of a strong body of police quelled the disturbance.
DEFAULTERS OF POOR-RATE.—The guardians of the
Enniskillen Union have caused advertisements to be pub-
lished in the local papers, setting forth, in the full blaze of
print, the names of defaulting rate-payers in five electoral
divisions. Among the " repudiators' are the Rev. J. G.
Porter, Mr. James Lendrum, the Rev. Mr. Gressonr
Captain E. Archdall, Mr. H. Maguire, and Mr. J. Ker.
naghan, all of whom are particularized as being of the class'
" landlord."

ENGLISH AND FRENCH CONSOLS.—It is instructive
remark, that although the debt of France is not to be
compared to our own, and although the public securitie3
in that country have been but slightly affected by our
difficulties, yet the high-water mark of the French Funds
is still below the low-water mark of Consols. There
is a difference of about 14 per cent. between Sir Charles
Wood's Irish loan of last spring and M. Dumon's French
loan of this autumn ; and even at a moment of unexampled
pressure our stocks had not sunk to the rate at which the
French Government has replenished its Treasury.

VOW EXHIBITING,• at the PORTICO, BOLD-

THE BOSJESMANS,
OR, BUSH PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA ;
The most singular specimens of that decreasing Race of Human
Beings, consisting of Two Men, Two Women, and a Baby, of
the Bosjesman Tribe, from the interior of South Africa—a Race
that, from their wild habits, could never before be induced to
visit a place of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the
Man of Science and the Student of Zoology has only been ob-
tained by great personal exertion on the part of the Gentlemen
Who brought them to England at an immense outlay of capital.
On the passage to Europe, a Baby was born at sea—thus adding
to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance.
Froin Moffatt the Missionary's Work on Southern Africa, page
53 ;--A4 Poor Bushman ! thy hand has been against every one,
and every one's hand against thee. For generations past they
have been hunted like partridges in the mountains. 'Deprived
'of what nature had made their own, they became desperate,
Wild, fierce, and indomitable in their habits. Hunger compels
them to feed upon every thing edible. Ixias, wild garlic, mys-
embry, antharnums, the core of aloes, gum of acarias, and other
Dlants and berries, some of which are extremely unwholesome,
Constitute their fruits ; whilst almost every kind of living crea-
ture is eagerly devoured, lizards, locusts and rasshoppers not
• excepted. The poisonous as well as innoxious serpents they
roast and eat. They carefully extract their bags or reservoirs
of poison, with which they cover the points of their arrows."
Mr. Robert Moffat, the son of the above-named Missionary,
has thus written to coo book of autographs, which may be selen
-at the Portico

_
•" 13,7yptian Hall, London, .1" ly 25.
" I have been twelve years in South Africa, and Can certify
• that they are correct specimens of that fast decreasing race, the
Bushmen of South Africa. ROBERT MOFFATT."
At Exeter-hall, London, Dr. Knox, the celebrated Lectnrer
on the Human Race, delivered a most scientific discourse, be-
fore a crowded audience, on the singular habits of
THESE MOST EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE,
reports of which may be had at the Portico.
In addition to the certificates of the Alissionaries anti others
who have visited the interior of South Africa, (which may be
seen at the Portico,) showing that the Bosjesmans are as great
a curiosity in the Cape as they are in Europe, will be found the
testimony of General NA r i ER, the late Governor of the Cape of
Good Hope, who visited them at the Egyptian Hall.
