E A lot OF thirty mine beef cattle has
been sold in this market by Mr.. IL. n.
Sumner, of this county. They were pur-
chased by Neiiig Il Son and Mr.. Stenglie
-. the latter of whom is about to open a
meat marketopposte Rculing's confectionery
stand. The cattle are the latest and finest
looking that have ever been brought to this
market. Mr.. Sumner appears to understand
the business of stock raising, and, we doubt
not, finds it profitable.

the office should not be removed. This, to-

artists in Boston;
awe have not space 10 oriticiso in detail;
and, indeed, there is hardly any necessity
for 90 doing, since the efforts Of each of the
artists were equal if not superior TO any ex-

Boston. signor Brignoli, especially, is de-
serving Of superlative praise for the vigor
and unequalled beauty Of his performances.
His sweet voice never rang out more clearly
and more Bweetly, and his manner tv the
audience was gentlemanlike, amiable and
obliging. Indeed, he was pushed too hard,
for, If we remember rightly, each Of his per-
formances was encored. He repeated with a
good grace, and created the enthusiasm of
the evening.
"MisS Hinckley has gained much in style
since she was last here. Her voice also
seems fresher and sounder. The music she

The Hansa brings the London Times 0
the 29th, which contains an account Of thl
meeting in Liverpool. 5
The following Plscard was posted OF
Change:
D0utrags on The British Gag. Southern
Commissioners forcibly removed from a Brit
ish mail steamer. A public meeting will b.
held in Cotton Sales Room at 2 o'clock.
The room was crowded to excess. The
Chair was occupied by James Spence, who
read the following resolutions
Rs50lUed, That this meeting having heard
with Indignation that an Amerieen Federal
ship Of war has fOrcibly taken from British
mail steamer, certain passengers passing
under the shelter of our flag from one neu-
trail pOr: 10 another, do earnestly call upon
| the Government to assert the dignity Of the
British flag by requiring prompt reparation
tor this outrage.
This resolution was received with great
enthusiasm.
The resolution was advocated by the Chair
man, who considered be was expressing The
teeling of the people, to press on the Gov
srnment the imperative necessity Of Vindieat-
ing the honor and dignity Of the British
name and flag. -
Mr.. JnO Campbell considered there was
reason to doubt whether the facts related and
acted on By this me ting, were in reality a
breach Of International Law, and refer
red to opinions OF the Law Officers Of the
Grown as being in some measure inclined to
show that such a step as taken with respect
70 Southern Commissioners was iusti6able
under the existing state of International
Law, and urged the propriety Of postponing
ihe consideration Of the subject till tO-moT-
row.
Mr.. Tow sustained Mr. GampbelPs views.
The Chairman suggested that to meet the
objections of Mr.. Campbell, to strike out the
words 10y requiring prompt Eepafatiou for
ibis outrage" and thus amended, the resolu-
ton passed almost unanimously.
Several merchants expressed their views,
after the adjournment that the meeting and
its action was premature

THE CITY.

SEVERE ACCIDENT Mrs. DR.. Clarke, moth
in-law of s. o. Griswold, Esq, of this city,
met with an accident of considerable sever
ity yesterday afternoon. She was crossing
the street between the Plain Dealer Office
and the Atwater Building, when she was
run upon by pair of horses and knocked
down, receiving several bad bruises, though
we understand no limb was broken, nor
any injuries of dangerous character suS-
tanned. She wes taken into the CONNER
cial Bank and cared fer. and thence to her
home: The man who had charge of the
horses was riding one and leading the 9th
or, and they were running at such speed as
to render it impossible for him to stop them
in time to prevent the misfortune. Such
reckless driving on public thOrOughfare,
where hundreds are constantly passing to
and fro, is in every sense criminal, aud
those guilty of it should never escape he
punishment they deserve.

Why Is IT TOLERGTED?-The Wheeling In
telligencer complains that notwithstanding
that city is the headquarters Of Gen. Rose
Grams, that 8 Union Legislature and
Union Convention are In session there,
that It is the headquarters of the Pay
masters Department for Western Virginia
and that one hundred secessionists are i'm
prisoned there, still seeessionists obtrude
their sentiments with insulting effrontery
upon the public, and that the result is 3 row
of more or less dangerous, and alWayE
troublesome, character every night. The
Intelligencer predicts bloody work one
of these day" if this sort of thing is not Pui
a stop to by the power of the Federal and
State Governments.

THAEKsGIYISG SERXoE.-The Sermon in
pamphlet form, preached by Pew. T. Il.
Hawks, in the second Presbyterian Church,
on Thanksgiving Day, is for sale at J. B.
Cobb's, Ingham & Bragg's, and ct Hawks
News Depot.
The discourse is eloquent and logical, and
replete with inspiring and impressive truths.
It should be read carefully and understand
ingly by all, for to none will it be found
other than Of the greatest profit. We sp-
pend few extracts touching the relation Of
slavery to the war;
"But all the sins that have now been
mentioned, yield in magnitude and guilt, TO
that Of holding in bondage four millions OF
men, who have the same right to freedom
to the sacred institution Of the family,
and to the work Of God, ss ourselves.-
Every one of them also strikes its roots
into this, and draws fresh life from
it. shall not enter upon q discus
sion Of the sin of the nation, in uPholding
the slavery Of the South. It can be seen in
the laws of Congress, in the decisions of the
Supreme Court, in Cabinet csbals, in the
resolutions Of national party conventions, in
meHts of Commissioners Courts, in the
wrongs of Kansas, in the establishment Of
the Missouri Compromises, in the annulling
Of that Compromise, in the infamous pro-
visions Of the Fugitive Slave Bill, in theaug-
mented area Of slavery, in the war with
Mexico, and in the nameless wrongs beaped
upon the enslaVed race at the handH of cruel
masters, and under the operation Of State
laws for the regulation of the system.
The nation is reaping as it has sown. God
ia shifting US in the very part we had done
most to strengthen. The judgment is un-
mistakable. We need no Daniel to inter-
pret mystic characters, and tell us that the
Medes and Persians are laundering at our
gates, because we have built the throne oi
empire upon the unrequited tolls and un-
avenged wrongs, the tears and blood, of Our
brethren.
In the disposition Of this problem ofslsve-
~, as it shall be affected by the develop
ments of the war, all should ask that God
| will guide Alright both the rulers and the
people. What he intends to do for the
wronged African race in bondage, we do moi
know. Ofone thing we may be sure, Il
we can ascertain what his will is, we shall
/ be safe in obeying it. Ifit be that they &c
free, then Lett the word Of emancipation bC
/ spoken. We mead not fear the evils that
/ might follow. They could not be 80 greai
ss that Of proving false to his behest.
Certainly we cannot plead constitutions
/ obligations, as q reason for spsring the sys'
tenn which has precipitated the war upon us
| So far as the disloyal States are concerned
we are released from them. WHAT'S Wises
and best-What we ought to do, is the only
question that should be agitated."
