SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY.

The supply of good Beasts being small, the trade has rallied
from the depression experienced on Friday ; and the prices of
Monday last are in most instances pretty readily obtained.
The number of Sheep and Lambs is about the same as of late;
trade has rather imploved ; the demand, however is not very
large. Trade is slow for Calves ; a choice one,however, makes
fully 2d per Bibs more than on Friday. Pigs are a slow trade.

Several begging imposters, with forged certificates, are
going about the town, trying to raise contributions from
the charitable.

Yesterday the trial of Ernest Jones, one of the chartist
chiefs, took place, and was proceeding when the expres3
train left London last night.
YARMOUTH.—The polling took place on Saturday-
At the close the numbers were, Sanders, (Cons.) 414;
Rumbold, (Whig) 384 ; Bagshaw, (Liberal) 300.
The John Bull says that the Attorney-General bag
been served with a writ in an action for penalties incurred
by alleged bribery at the Horsham election, to the amount
of ten thousand pounds.
The project of the great " Irish League"- blown to
the four winds of heaven, Mr. John O'Connell proving
invulnerable to all attempts to wheedle him into a com-
promise with the war party, who must now carry on the
business on their own responsibility, and trust to the
clubs alone for the fulfilment of their designs.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—OH Saturday morning, about four
o'clock, Thomas Taylor, aged 36, a brushmaker in the
employ of Mr. Hopkins, North Crescent, corner of Har-
rington-street, was in the act of coming down a jigger-
rope from the warehouse in Harrington-street, when the
rope broke, and he fell into the street on his head, and
fractured his skull. He died the same evening. It appears
that the men were in the habit of being hoisted up. te tby a
lowered from the warehouse at all hours of the nigh
means of this rope, and unknown to, and contrary to thq
wish of Mr. Hopkins.
EGREMONT FERRY.—Great improvements are going on
at this ferry station. The landing-stage works better
than before, and it is the best stage on the Mersey, (me"
ing on an inclined plane,) whether as regards its construc-
tion or its dimensions. The locality is rather unfavone-
able for landing or embarking, as the tide recedes, at lout
water, far down the shore. Nevertheless, this long tele-
scopic stage will shortly be so far extended and improved
that passengers may land or embark at the lowest tides
without being conveyed in a small boat part of the way,'
The old pier is being repaired and heightened, and to this
will be attached an easy flight of steps, extending north-
ward, which will give additional facility for passengers
when the tide is up, as well as for the landing of carriages'
goods, &c. Passengers may thus be landed at the satyr
place at all times of tide. A new waiting room is 111
course of erection at the top of the slip on the north Side,
and uniform architecturally with the engine-house (the
machinery of which works the stage,) on the south side'
Stables, coach-houses, &c., are also to be constructed'
and an extensive yard and sheds for carriages and market
carts. The hotel, close by, is a most extensive and wet":
furnished building, recently taken and conducted by Al'
Halliday, formerly of the " Commercial Inn," Dale-street,
in this town, a gentleman well known as in every sense fi
polite and attentive host. Four boats are constantly Plii n
ing, starting every half hour, including " The Queen ",/
Beauty," the " James Atherton," and the " Wallasey,
e'
all of them very smart and substantial craft. The spirit 4,
lessees of this ferry are, we think, worthy of the utnaos.
encouragement of the public, and we are glad to say that
their exertions are already appreciated, the number of
visiters to that part of Cheshire having greatly increase'
during the last few weeks
