SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY.

The number of Beasts is not so large as of late, and, in con-
sequence, a few of the choicest make rather more money ;
although 4s. is realised for a few of the best sizeable Scots, it
is too much to quote as average of best qualities. The supply
of Sheep is large, and the demand small. Lower prices are
taken, especially for large polled Sheep and Ewes. Lambs are
also a heavy trade. and very few make over 55. per 8 lbs.
Calves are selling worse than ever, many of them can scarcely
be disposed of at all. From Germany and Holland there are
425 Beasts, 1,500 Sheep, and 209 Calves ; from Scotland, 200
Beasts.

Mr. Baron Platt has been obliged to postpone the
Glamorganshire assizes from the 11th instant till the 13th
of August next, on account of the cholera at Cardiff.
Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy- has boldly issued his pros-
pectus for " a new series of the Nation," the first number
of which is to appear on the 25th of August.
The harbour of Fleetwood has been greatly improved
during the last three years. It still, however, requires an
expenditure of about £lO,OOO to complete the works. The
increased traffic during the last two years is shown to have
been extraordinary.
SECRETS OF COMFORT.—Though sometimes small evils,
like invisible insects, inflict pain, and a single hair may
stops vast machine, yet the chief secret of comfort lies in
not suffering trifles to vex one, and in prudently culti-
vating an undergrowth of small pleasures, since very few
great ones, alas! are let on long leases.
Within the past few days the cholera has broken out at
Portsmouth, and bids fair, from the census of fatality in
so short a space of time as three or four days, to become a
long and devastating visiter of the filthy purlieus of that
borough. About 20 cases have shown themselves in
Portsmouth and Gosport within the past week. Four
fatal cases in one house occurred on Saturday.
RELIGIOUS EXPEDITION.—The Emperor of Morocco
having solicited from the English Government the means
of conveying two of his sons and suite to Mecca, on a pil-
grimage to the shrine of the Mussulmans' prophet, the
Admiralty have acceded to his request, and have commis-
sioned the Growler steam-sloop, at Davenport, for the-
purpose. It is expected she will be ready to leave Englaud
by the 26th inst., for Tangier, to embark the Princes of
Morocco, and after she has conveyed them to Mecca, and
back again to Morocco, will join Sir W. Parker's squadron
for permanent service in the Mediterranean.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE.-Apr. - resides in Harley-
street, London. His wife, who is an economical body,
had sent a costly silk gown to a French dyer. The dyer
himself brought the dress home, and unluckily met the
lady of the husband at the door. "Is madam within ?"
asked the Frenchman. The husband, who is of a jealous
disposition, replied—" And, suppose she is, wi,st, do you
want with her ?" " I'm dyeing for her, sare !" " Yon
dying for my wife—get out of my house you scoundrel'."
and he had just raised Irs foot to kick the honest artiza:!
into the street; as the lady made her appearance and set
the matter to rights.
FIENDISH ACT.--ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Satur-
day evening, about six o'clock, a most diabolical attempt
was made to destroy the lives of two ladies, the daughters
of Dr. Stokes, of Portland-place, Islington, London.
They were sitting in the drawing-room, when they were
fired at by some ruffian. Police officers. who were on the
spot watching some thieves, were instantly called into the
doctor's house, and after the alarm had somewhat subsi-
ded they found a bullet embedded in the wall, it having
passed over the ladies' heads, and then through a carved
cornice. Every effort was immediately made to detect
the dastardly scoundrel, but in vain.

THE LADY ADA ALICE WHYATVILLE.—It will be re-
membered that in the course of last summer a person of
interesting appearance and manners, who assumed this
aristocratic title, figured in the police annals of Glouces-
tershire, and was tried for bigamy, and subsequently for
larceny ; on the former charge she was acquitted but on
the latter she was tried at the Gloucestershire Midsummer
sessions, and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment.
The cholera has paid a visit to Gloucester gaol, which has
proved a lucky circumstance for many of the prisoners,
who, upon representations made to the Secretary of State,
have been released from durance before the expiration of
their several terms of imprisonment, and Lady Ada was
one of the fortunate batch. No sooner was site released,
however, than she was at her dirty work again ; and, hav-
ing paid a flying visit to Cheltenham, she succeeded .in
" doing" two or three of the tradesmen there; but
finding the " Queen of watering " places too hot to hold
her, she returned to Gloucester, where she took lodgings,
borrowed a sovereign of her hostess, and deeatnped, hav-
ing first visited the scene of her late imprisonment, and
actually succeeded in imposing upon the turnkeys, who
did not recognize her, and treated her with the greatest
respect. After a hterty laugh at the deluded janitors
e left the gaol and town—the tradesmen hope for good'

The business in foreign Exchanges was moderate, and
the rates heavy. Sterling was selling, at 8i- to 9, Francs
5.35 to 5.30 and dull. The supply of Bills was considera-
ble.

In freights there was a fair business doing, and the
shipowners were asking higher rates. Engagements 40 or
50,000 bush. Corn, 61-cl. to 61d. ; and 5000 Wheat, 61d.
The Carnatic was filled up at 6id. Flour was engaged at
ls. 6d. ; heavy freights 225. 6d. • Cotton, id,
The cholera was worse in the Western States, especially
at St. Louis and Cincinnati. In the former city, which
contains about some 60,000 persons, the number of deaths
daily exceeded 100 ; at Cincinnati, with 100,000 inhabi-
tants, about 70 deaths daily.
Gold continues to reach the United States from Cali-
fornia. The brig Ida arrived at Philadelphia on 25th ult.
with 300,000 dollars, including some beautifullumpsof the
precious metal, weighing above seven pounds each.
Cassino Clay is not dead as was supposed, but is ex-
pected to recover. The provocation to the duel was a lie
given in public meeting. Clay struck but once, his knife
ripping open the belly of his antagonist; he was himselt
stabbed, it is said, by a third party.
Further skirmishes have taken place between the Cali-
fornian emigrants and the Indians. In one of these
affrays 23 Mexicans were killed.
In Canada nothing special has happened, except it be a
battle in the Montreal City Council. One member, in a
speech, averred that in three months they would be all
Americans, whereupon another member crossed over and
knocked him down. This was followed by a variety of
hostile demonstrations, and finally the Council broke up
in order to avoid a general mele'e.
in Mexico, insurrections and other troubles are abun•
dant. In Oaxaca an attempt to overturn the Government
took place on the 29th May. It was put down with the
loss of some 20 killed on the part of the insurgents. In
Tampico the party aiming to repeat the Texan drama,
and annex to the United States the entire country this
side the Cordilleras, is still active. The region they
desire to separate from Mexico includes part of the States
of Chihuahua, Durango, Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi,
and the whole of Tampico, Nuevo Leon and Coahuila.
The Congress of Venezuela has adjourned, after levying
severe duties upon foreign products. This was done at
the instance of Monagas, the President. It is said to
make him very unpopular in the country, and to strengthen
his rival, Pacz, to such a degree that his speedy triumph is
anticipated.

Our old favourite is himself again this month. The
professor has thrown aside his love of indolent ease, and
amines forth in a second series of " Christopher under
Canvass," in all his pristine vigour, showering upon us
rich bouquets of poetry and philosophy, inspired by the
glorious scenery of highland lake and mountain. The ar-
ticles throughout are of the first-class. " The Caxtons,"
especially, is splendid in this number.
The Man sn the Moon is now published in a more con-
venient form, under the editorship of the Brothers
Brough. The last number contains several good illustra-
tions, and many good hits at passing events.
Fraser and the Dublin University contain their usual
amount of excellent articles ; the latter is more than com-
monly diversified in its critical reviews.
