Bulls HEAD.-A reference to our regular cattle
market report will chow a state Of things not well
calculated az they were last week to make the
droyers feel particularly jolly. The market on
Wednesday not good upon the average as it
was on Tuesday by three four dollars head and it
was particularly dull in the afternoon, some Of the
coarse cattle closing out at rates equivalent to cent
a pound below quotations of the previous week.
Upon the whole the decline was full half cent
pound in price, and frequently more than that taking
the estimate of weight into account, which, IN such
market is always in favor Of the buyer II is not to
be wondered at that the price declined since We hnd
5000 bullocks i'll market at the Forty-iourh street
yaIds, and many Of them Of very heavy quality
II appears to be a very difficult matter to hold the
market up 70 II cents pound for the best cattle.
BAD.-The sub-offcials ofthe City Inspector
Office are out with shrewd alarm-dodge card hum
bly, requesting the Mayor so to modify his peremptory
order to shut up shop to permit them to keep the
city and markets clean Much they care fcrthe public
welfare. The "card" is only sly effort TO get the
Mayor to recognize them, and allow them to dip q
little longer in the public purse. Let them soiourn
sites, and keep cool generally.

Adopted.
The resolution Of the 10TH reversing the decision
of the Health Officer in regard to permitting tancher
! & McChesney to lighter &c, at Quarantine, was
amended by inserting after the privilege to Faneher
Officer may deem expedent for the interests OF
| Quarantine.
! The amendment, ii was understood, would throw
! open the lighterage stevedoring and steamboating
business 10 healthy competition. Merchants can
make their own bargains aud If the Health Officer
deems il safe and proper, he is authorized to grant
permit to such parties, that they may have the work
| done to their satisfaction. Under the resolution
as it passed on Monday, Messrs. Fancher s NJ
! Chesnev claimed the right exclusively.
! The Health Commissioners do not consider it
necessary to the public health to keep vessels at
! Quarantine for observation when they have had no
| sickness on board: and. accordingly, they allowed
the ship John Beckshsw, from Rio janet iro, to come
/ up and land her cargo above Canal street. There
was fever a, Rio but none the vessel! No vessels
from such ports will, however be allowed to land be-
| low Canal or Clinton street.

| underatood the Health Commissioners by virtue ct
their office will attend to the necessary business OF
| that department. They will meet again on Friday.
