THE CITY SHAMBLES-THE SLAUGH
TER OF 1854.

We present q tabular statement Of the receipts Of
Boeyes, Yeals, Sheep and Lambs, and Swine, re-
ceved FOR slaughter in each week Of the year 1854,
TO which we have added the number Of MIX Cows
reported sold at the different market places, because
all that arrive here except the few that die, are KEEP;
q short season and sent 10 the shambles.
This makes & grand total Of ,O5s, 600 Of al kinds
Js;cheled in the City the past year.
It istrue that few have been shipped alive, but
uo,hirg TO compare with the numbers that have come
into the City uncounted; our report does not en-
brace large numbers of calves and sheep and lambs
By the East River and NewJersey market boats, and
msny beeyes and other animals tina, are bought IN
tie country and driven direct to the slaughter peas,
or the COW stables.
Our table also shows the number OF Beeves al
Bulls Head upon each great market day, AID the
range of prices per % for beef The number offered
upon any market day varies from sl5 to o,i6!
The average for each day and each week Is given,
and also for every other Kind. This table should be
preseryed BY oil interested in the cattle trade to
compare with future weekly reports for upon the
supply depends the price.
We also give the numbers Of bulloeks from each
State at Bulls Head on the principal market days.
New.York and Ohio furnished quota every market
day. and Kentucky all Blu. four or fve Pennsyiss-

EoI-sE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

Mr.. FARLEY, from the Committee Of Territories,
reporttd back, with amendments, the Senate bill au-
tborizing the construction Of subterranean tele-
graph from the Mississippi or Missouri River to the
Pacific Ocean. Referred to the Committee OF the
Whole on the State OF the Union.
On motion of Mr.. LATHAM the Senate bill con-
hhune in force, for limited period, the act for
ascersainng and settling private land claims in Cali
forrS, referred to the Committee on Public
Lands
The House then went into Committee of the Whole
on the state OF the Union, on the Army Approprls-
lion bill. This together with the bill making pro
priations for the General Post. Office, was subse-
quenty reported to the House. No debate took place
on them: oro 49, ,...
bill by sppropriatiog s2O0 for the purpose OF de-
termining how far camels and dromecares can be
employed for transportation over deserts.
/ The SPEAKER ruled the amendment out Of order
On the ground that the law does not authorize such
appropriations
Mr.. BENTON made sn Intellectual effort TO amend
the PosOfice Approp riation bill, so as TO authorize
the Postmaster General TO contract for the carriage
Of the mails from independence 10 san francisco, III
coaches wagons and sleghs the contractors 10 open
the road and moderate the tolls charged travellers
Both bills we-e passed.
Mr.. MoDOUGALL prese nted Colonel Fremon.s

override plains. Ordered to be printed.
hr. NOBLE introduced bal making al appro-
pris!ion for continuing the public works at Monroe,
Michigan, and moved thst it be referred to the Com
ultlSc on commerce.
Mr. HAVEN Thought the House should instruc.

dent vetoedAhat bill. IL was no use 10 allow the nat
Ter TO hang rsveling ST the heel As it was the
House could as well pass one hundred aud fifty bills

. Mr.. CAMPBELL was opposed to 20 many bills.
They might as well make separate ones of the items
ia the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bill. He
never followed those who Weld to Executive dicti-
ton ard never would. There should be general
bill for River and Inrbor improvements, they being
Of National importance.
Mr. HAvENS-The Executive has promi.ed;his
a; length for bis late veto and he wished,
by the course he had suggested, to obtain them He
hoped the Message would come after the CESSATION 90
hard Of delivery. Laughter He desired the peo-
pie 10 know whether the business VI legislation Is to

Mr.. CAMPBELL said the Constitution requires
