SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YE ST it RDA Y.

The supply of Beasts is rather shorter; trade is cheerful, at
advanced rates. The best qualities readily make 48. The
number of Sheep and Lambs is also smaller, the demand
being considerable: Friday's advance is fully maintained, and
in a few instances rather exceeded. Good Calves are more in
request; indeed, all kinds are readily disposed of, although the
second-rate are still making a low price.

THE WEATHER.—Since our last publication the weather
was for some days, at the beginning, favourable for
securing the remainder of the grain crops, and nearly the
whole is now stacked—the oats generally sometime behind
the wheat. On Sunday night a good deal of rain fell, and
there were showers yesterday, when the glass dropped a
little below the point of " change." At about one o clock,
p.m., daring the rain, a bright flash of lightning was seen
south of this town, and was followed by a loud peal of
thunder. There is some slight disease amongst the pota-
toes in gardens, in some localities, but this is by no means
general amongst the field crops, which will probably be
more abundant than during the last four years.
STEAM COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LIVERPOOL AND
THE CONTlNENT.—Adverting to the notice given some
time ago of the intention of Mr. M'lver and his friends
to place steamers on the station between Liverpool and
Havre, we are informed that the arrangements are now
complete for commencing early in spring. The vessels
on their outward passages will go to Rotterdam, and from
thence to Havre, and back to Liverpool, bringing the
goods for the Atlantic steamers. This arrangement (with
the additional vessels the Cork Steam Company are to put
on the Rotterdam line,) will afford a weekly communica-
tion from Liverpool to Rotterdam. The same parties
purpose taking up early in the spring, the trade between
Liverpool and Hamburg, which has hitherto been neg-
lected.
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—This is the last week but one
of the season, and Mr. Atkins has been so fortunate as to
secure the services of Professor Kist, prior to his sailing
to America.

COMING IT RATHER STRONG.—Dost thee see them
clouds ? Aye ! And that mill ? Aye ! And that pit

OPERATIC COMPANY.-THEATRE-ROY 0

LAST NIGHT.

The treat so liberally announced a fortnight age, by the
manager of the Theatre-Royal--the appearance in °P`';
of Alboni and the leading singers engaged at the ratio
festival, attracted a most fashionable audience to"ee,
Theatre-Royal last night. The boxes were well fi„,
but not crowded. Probably the wet aspect of the eve:,
ing deterred many. The. pit was respectably fined, '„ of
were the other parts of the house, with the exceeto9” ,
the undress tier. It ought to have been a most instruct.
Live lesson to the management committee of the Phi 14,81,8

gallery stalls, the pit, and even the gallery itself. Att.et

CONCERT HALL.—The first of three grand EVeri_firi

evenings, afford a rich treat to all lovers of melody. rig

ORIGIN OF THE GLASS SLIPPER.—Two centuries ect
furs were so rare, and therefore so highly valued, the; g
wearing of them was restricted, by several sumptuary ia%;
to kings and princes. Sable, in those laws called rat;
was the subject of countless regulations • the exact clo3"'
tity permitted to be worn by persons of different grade g?
and the articles of dress to which it might be ene,lied
r
were defined most strictly. Perrault's tale of " Cillae”be
la" originally marked the dignity conferred on her by to
teo
fairy, by her wearing a slipper of vair, a privilege t" o
confined to the highest rank of princesses ; an error to
the press, now become inveterate, changed vair ?to
