A CIIIIRCH-BUILPING FAMILY.—The foundation of a
new church, to be reared in the English style of architec-
ture, in Hulme, was laid on Thursday wear, The church
will be built and endowed solely by a maiden lady, Miss
Atherton. of Kersall Cell. Her grandfather, Mr. Edward
Byron, built, at his sole expense, St, John's Church, in
:Manchester. Her aunt, Mrs. Byron, souse time ago, re-
paired St. John's Church, at a cost of not less than £l,OOO.
• And now," says the Manchester Courier, " God has put
it into the heart of another descendant to build and endow
this new church, to be called the Holy Trinity, at a charge
of £10,000."

DREADFUL CASE OF SUFFERING.—Monmouth, happily,
seldom affords instances of such extreme wretchedness are to
be found In many other parts of the country ; an exception
to this fact has occurred, however, in the case of a family
named Vaughan, living in Weybridge-alley, in that town.
The husband, who is in some way connected with the barges,
has for some time been earning about two shillings per week,
with which he had to maintain a wife and five children.
'When they were visited, in consequence of a report of their
distressed circumstances, the wife was found looking wan
and emaciated, and evidently struggling under the inroads of
consumption. She had not a single garment to cover her
but a loose gown ; on her lap was an infant about two years
and a half old, in a dying state, from repeated convulsive
attacks; and on the table in the room was another child,
which had recently died. The neighbours, who are poor,
testified that for some days the children had not received a
particle of food but the few scraps they had given from their
own necessities ; and it was their conviction that the decea-
sed child, and its nearly expiring brother, (since, alas ! dead,)
had their deaths accelerated by want. It is due to the paro--
chial authorities to state that, from the indiscretion of the
man Vaughan, they were precluded affording assistance, as
he had evaded an order of removal, and they had received no
subsequent application for relief.—Merthyr Guardian.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, DEC. 22.
As is usually the case at this period of the year, there was a
scanty supply of Beasts, nearly the whole of which were beneath
the middle quantity. Scarcely any buyers in attendance, and the
Beef trade was excessively heavy, at an abatement of ad per alb,
and a clearance was not effected. No arrivals from Scotland.
There was a fair average number of Sheep on sale, which moved
off steadily at Monday's quotations. Calves were in short supply,
and fair inquiry at late rates. Pigs were held on full as good terms .
but the amount of business passing in them was not extensive;
Mitch Cows were almost nominally quoted at from £l7 to .eau las
each, including their small calf. By the quantities of bibs, sinking
the offal.
