The receipts of beeves last week, according to
the reports Of our Cattle market, reached nearly
FIVE thousand in number, which at only six
hundred weight to the balloct, would make
three millions of pounds of beef for the supply
Of this City one week. With such a supply it
is not surprising that the price has fallen cent
a pound within two weeks for ell the lover
grades and that frst-rate beef cattle sold yes
terday at prices equal to l001O4c per ID for
the meat; aud this appears to be about the ex-
tent Of prices that caytle dealers can expect in
future. Under these circumstances it seems
but reasonable t6at butchers meat should be
,Old at rates little than some of them at least
are charging. Formerly, before the butchers
had become used to high prices, when cattle
sold at the same rates they do now, we bOoght
our roasting pieces Tor shilling pound, and
ii our butcher does not come down to that now,
we shall 60 to one that will, and our re- ders
will follow suit. Let us have cheap meat to
eat with our cheap potatoes and cheap bread
that we shall have as soon as rhe millers and
bakers discover that we have had bountifI
harvest

Our telegrapbic dispatch from Halifax con-
veys the news of the destruction of SweabOrg,
in the Gulf Of Finland, after two days bonn
bardntnt by the allied fleets, and Of the repulse
Of Q Russian attack on the line of the Chernaya,
before SevaSopol. The latter affair is said to
have been as obstinate and saDguinsry as it
was decisive. The 6ght lasted three hours.
The Russians were commanded by Lprandi,
aud the foTses employed were probably part
Of the reGhforcements just arrived in the coun-
try. This attack vas made on the 10Th, and ac-
cordipg to Gen. Simpson the bonibardment of
the place, or rather of the Mslskof Tower, WAS
to be commenced the day alter. The Russian
attack was probably intended as diversion to
delay or prevent this bombardment We must
bow expect stirring news from the Crimea.
The destruction Of Sweaborg, if it has been
really achieved, is the most important bio yet
struck at the power Of Russia during the entire
course of the war. Sweaborg is described a,
one Of the strongest fortified places in the
world, hardly inferior indeed TO Croastsdt it.

Of granite, and were constructed in the most
solid manner, two and three stories high, ac-
cordipg to Montalembert's system. The princi-
pal island is Ware0e, on which the citadel was
placed. The only passage into the harbor OF
Helsipgfors, beyond, is between the islands of
Gustavsward and BaikhOlm. The harbor is
large enough to contain 20 to 80 ships of the

vessels there. The Notifications mounted q 900
guns.
