The supply of sheep was again somewhat on the increase, and
of excellent weight. Although the Mutton trade was not quite
so active as on Monday last, prime old Downs moved off steadily
at full prices, but most other breeds were a slow Inquiry. At
the close of the market, a fair clearance was effected. About
303 Sheep-came to hand from Scotland.
Calves and pigs, the supplies of which are moderate, moved
off slowly, at barely stationary prices.

OUTRAGE AT BIRKENHEAD.
An outrage of a very serious nature took place last
night in•Birkenhead. A Mr. M'Leod—a contractor Is
the formation of the docks at Birkenhead, appears to hale
given some offence to the navies employed under him;
and suspecting that he was secreted at. Mr. Watson's—•
late La French's—a mob of them surrounded the hoes!
and insisted upon searching it, swearing that if they found
him they would murder him. He was not there, bort-
e ver, but they found him at length ; and inflicted serious
injuries upon him. Mr. AV Leod's.house, up to the hour at
which we write, is guarded by the police ; but we understand
he has left it, and returned to his family. Whether or not
this outrage is connected with the turn-out it is im-
possible to say, as our information is very meagre, but we
shall probably have further information in time for
second edition.
