Bulls HEAD-There Is a very considerable de-
crease in tbs supely OF cattle in market this week
the number reported a, Fort fourth street being only
LIB head, mostly Of light cattle. This short supply
tempted the cattle brokers 10 make a pretty strong
effcrt to advance the price about half cent pound
re: CHER than II the very dul market OF last
week. Buyers say the advance y equal 10 a cent
pound upon the best cattle in the yards, aud say
that ca'tle Of TIE best qusliy usually sold here are
remarkably scarce. In fact it is not often that the
market IL so bare Of stock suited 90 the somewhS
ia tlcious tastes of our frs. class butchers ard their
eItrayagslt Customer. More cattle have sold up0n
the frst day Of tle market al over ten ceuts than
were sold last week up 10 that figure in bot1 day..
We some small lot, sold at full ten and q halt
net pound, and h-afd 8 good many buyers declare
that tuey paid ii cents. Thi, is in consequence Of
scarcity Of the best grades Of stock aud not on a.
couu, of any extra demand. Ordinary coarse stock
and thin-grass steers will Tot be likely to sell high
tbs week on the average though the MARKETS higher
thar last week, while the medium quality such a. SHOP
butchers usually retail, sold yesterday at about 9c.
net pound, and at this the market was not brisk
the wholesale buto hers held off nard against any adj
vance the sales in Washington Market being re-
ported very slow at 6a7c. per pound for good fair
sides.
Upon the whole, i. may be stated that there is
slight advance in tie beefc stle market, that the
general average Guaty Of the stock very ordeary,
aud the probability that the market will not close

There were nine men in the shaft at the
time, four whites and five negroes, all of whom
mast have been instantly killed 1t was i'm.
possible to render them any relief whatever,
ing to the impenetrable condition of tho
mine from the feti1 and intolerable dlssemiIa- :
ton of fatal gas which prevailed. Among
tho nine persons in the mines at the time
were known to be two white men, named
Isaac Farmer and George Smith. A man and
mule employed in drawing the coal up the
inclined plane of the shaft, were found at the
mouth OF the shaft, PROSTATE. and nearly dead
The accident produced great excitement about

The Ecno SLAVE CASE A short time ago
one of our city papers took much pains to
acquit the South of any desire to reopen the
African slave trade. and referred, in proof,
to the indictments found in Charleston
against the crew of the SLAYER Echo. Since
then the case have gene to trial, and all tho
accused have been acquitted. The Charles
ton Mercury gives the following explanation
Of the action of the jury.
SIT is most probable that they may have
been satisfied with thinging that it would
be not only inconsistent. but cruel and
hypocritical, for them, as members of Il COM
munity where slaves are bought and sold
every day, and are as much and as frequent
y article of commerce as the sugar and mo.
lasses which they produce,to pass condemna-
ton and a verdict of guilty of death upon
men whose only crime was that they were
going to a far country to bring in moe sup
plies of these articles of trade, whose com.
moditics;and in this case not even to trespass
upon our soil but to carry them to foreign
land, to Cuba and merely throw them into
the market OF nations.
1t is most probable that this was the indue.
ing ground Of the rerdtct, and if so, every
other case wf1f be the Echo to this. Further
prosecution is idle, expensive and vain"
We predicted this result Of any such trials
long beforehand; at which another of our
contemporaries, the Post, had spasm of ln-
dignant grief. 1t was wounded that we
should express the opinion that Capt. Town
shend would any more lcnience shown to
him by Charleston jury, for violating the
laws against the slave trade, than he would
receive at the hands ola Boston jury But
since this result has been announced by tele.
grapn, our pro-slayery apologists have been
yery quiet
