CITY INTELLIGENCE.

The HoRsE MAREEr.-The presentation ola peti
ton recently to the City Council, praving for the
removal of the Horse market from the IocaIitv in
which 1T is at present held, NAV have reminded
some OF the fact, whilst Others doubtless neyar
knew that that ancient institution-the Horse-Fa
still exists in this city. 1t is held on Plouobman
street. the entire length Of the street. runnipo from
the Falls to High street. being appropriated for the
purpose on Wednesday and Saturday mornings
The portion Of the street next the Falls is usnd for
stalls, the rest of the street for the exhibiting Of
the points of the animal. Here NAV
be seen on market DAYS, from ten to
| tnrty horses, of all ages, colors and con
dltnns. On Saturday our reporter maid q
visit to the locality, and witnessed scene
to which the pencil of Rosa Bonheur could alone do
Justice. The exhibition OF animals. owners and
Jockes, was quite extensive, there being some
twenty horses in the stalls. for each and every one
OF which there was an owner, and an average of
two l0ckies apiece. By far the larger portion of
the stock were unfit for any conceivable purpose
except to be Killed and sent to bone-grndinG es-
tabllshment Most of them were blind; all were
eWe-necked; some were ring -boned Others spawned:
Others affected with splint; and some were in them
selves, an epitome of all the ills which horse flesh is
heir TO- Jockles are generally employed to sell the
ANIMALS, but in some instances the owners act as
statesmen, and in such cases there is a combination
OF the professional men to 'lummy" the owner One
fellow, an lrishman, appeared to be Chief of tbo

Whle he was illustrating the gentleness and docilitv
OF the animal. As an evidence of the confidence re-
posed IN his professional SKILL while he was enpaped
In selling horse, couple of fellows came out Of
drinking house, and one punching the other in the
rlDs, whispered: "Tummus, will We mind Mickies
eye; the divil take me but he'll sell Logan yet"
The prophesy was verified for Logan, horse of
doubtful age, stOne-blind, and who had only shed
his last winters coat Of hair in sp )ts was speedily
disposed OF for the handsome sum of SI.56X
" We bargain in that craythur," observed
Mickle, to the fortunate purchaser. ''A fine family
horse, he is, and babe can drive him when he'll
go but don't let him see the vehicle when you'U
be aither hitchln' him up, sorra a step he'll
move till ye build a fire under him - added one
of the two who had come out of the tavern.
-"MlcSle Is sharp at a swop, fancy" said the re-
porter to the last speaker who was standing in the
gutter, dudeen about an inch long between his
hps, one hand scratching head of hair that looked
as though it was on as bad terms with comb as
ST. Patrick is with the devil and the other swinp-
ing cow-hide, which had the appearance of having
made many nag stiff limbs supple. "Sharp did We
say? Is it shaving man to the boLe We call sharp-

choke you to swallow all the money he'll give for
them, either. He's a scholar of Tim O'Hara in
the county Derry, and what Tim did mt know about
horse wasn't worth knowing, and Mickie knows
more than Tim" By this time Mickie was busily
engaged in the disposal of what was once horse,
but which now had the appearance of being the
mere framework Of that animal His hin bones
stuck up to such height that buckets could have
been hung on them, while every rib could be
counted distinctly. His neck was long and thin

AT TINS Juncture there was sudden rush from the
little tavern already referred to- caused bv puoi-
listic display between two sons of tn Green sle-
The sale OF horses, however, went on without in
terruption, as if such novelty in that
place. Boys were placed on the backs of the ami
mails to move them up and down the street, while
their qualities abilities, ages and value were dis
cussed. As one boy attempted to mount horse a
jockey cried ''take off that bride and put on
a blind bride, the horse is not accustomed
to the place and he'll scare" CHATS
not the reason you want the blind bride on" said
a voice on the sidewalk; ''yOu know that if he
sees his shadow folio wing he'll stop for fear he's
pulling it," Some difficulty was experienced in
starting this animal and one would have imagined
from hismovements that to get him to draw a wagon
1t would be necessary to hitch him up with his head
to the swlngle-tree One after another, the horses
were disposed Of until at one o'clock all the animals
had disappeared, and the jockies had adjourned to
the little tavern where they engaged in taking
and
of the morning.
