CATTLE.—SALISAVIty, June 21—This morning we had a large number of horned cattle on offer, and the quality for the most part was very tine. There was a goodly attendance of buys re, and the beet qualities sold steadily at good prices, but on the ..hole, from the excess of the supply, Beef hung heavily on hand, and many beasts were driven away unsold, and prices had a downward tendency. We had an abundant supply of Sheep of good quality, which, in a measure, had the effect of causing prices to recede a trifle, though we cannot quote lower figures, and a good amount of business was transacted. There was an extra quantity of Lambs on sale to-day, ■nd the whole of which found ready purchasers, and the quotations of last market were fully sustained. There were not so many Calves on offer as of late, but there was an unabated demand, consequently the trade was active at former quotations, and the quality, generally, was very fine. In the Pig market there was a good attendance, and also a lair supply of Pigs, which attracted attention, and a considerable number changed hands. Prices : Best ox Beef, Ids. to I Is. per seore; Heifers and inferior breeds, 9s. to 10s. ; best Down Mutton, 6141. to 7d. ner 11h; long-mooned and inferior, Gd. to 6}d. Lamb, 81. Veal, hi to 61d.

It appears that on Monday morning last, ',shout one o'clock, a female, named Sarah Holmes, aged 27 years. lately residing at No. 3, London-terrace, Commercial-road East, was &ea to walk suddenly on to the Old Gravel-lane bridge of the London Docks, and before the policeman on duty could get to her, she jumped over the low iron railing into the water. AR alarm was raised, but before the deceased could be found life was quite extinct, although the watchmen on duty did all they could, and medical assistance was promptly rendered. The deceased is the fourth female who has committed suicide at the same bridge within a fortnight, and such is the extraordinary mania for suicide existing amongst the females of the 11 ttclilf Hi Away, that two and three attempts have been made nightly at the tame spot during the last month. At an inquest held on Friday before Mr. Baker, one of the London Dock constables (Mr.Clemins) attended, and said the Dock Company were going to make some alteration to the railing of the bridge to prevent such a fearful increase of self destruction. An inquest will he held on the body 01 Holmes to-morrow (Thutsday) at the Barley Mow, Cannon-street.  LAUNCH or• TILE Cramus.—Yesterday afternoon another of those highly interesting events, the launch of a a•upeudooa ship, took place with complete &WWI in Orchard Yard, Blackwell, belonging to the Messrs. Mar:, the builders of the vessel.
