BULLS HEAD-CHANGE or MARKET-DAY

So much objection having been made by the
butchers 10 Thursday, since it substituted for
Monday the drovers have concluded 70 adopt
Wednt sday for the great cattle market day, to com
mtnce after Christma,-some little time being neces
sary to arrange for the arrival Of cattle from the
West. Our western exchanges viii confer a favor
upon their rtaders by making note of this fact
that Wednesday Dec. 81, aud every succeeding
Wednesday, will DO mark et-day at the Newly
Bulls Head; and under no circumstan Yes will the
droyers consent TO return 10 Monday: because that
involves TO a certainty, whether necessity or not,
the occupation Of the previous Sabbath, and the
handling Of cattle in the crowced streets of the City
upon that day, and will undoubtedly, if persisted in,
prompt the Common Council t, pass an ordinance TO
prevent the driving OF cattle through the streets at any
time in deyght.
We are assured by some of the best butchers in
the City that Wednesday viii be concurred in by oil
except few uneasy spirits, who want the market
held on Monday, that they can spend the Sabbath
among the csttle-often buying more that day tn
any other. There few other antiqua'od fossils
who would stick to MONDAY because it always has
been Monday. and they never change They are
opposed to all Improvement
We arc Of the candid opinion that the butchers who
represent the purchase Of seven-eghths Of all the
beeves sold at Bulls Head, and who pay for what
they buy, are content to have the greatm rket on
Wednesday.
The fDshing-up day will be fixed upon Friday or
Saturday as will be found most convenient and
agreeable to the butchers.
The drovers are ali disposed TO accommodate the
butchers in everything but return to Monday aud
consequent use of Sunday No fair reasonable man,
who is disposed to do as he would be done by, can
ask them to do thst or in fact to do anything moro
than they have determined to do in fixing she market
dsy upop Wednesday.
