Metropolitan Cattle Market, MONDAY.-The imports of live cattle and sheep into the port of London from the Continent during the past week has been very large The official Custom-house return gives an entry of 507 oxen, 451 calves, 3,425 sheep, 14 pigs, and 1 horse, making a total of 4,398 head, against 4,211 at the corresponding period of last year, and 3,173 in 1857. The beef trade to-day was slow, and prices were heavy, inferior quality selling from 38. 4d. and the prime at 4s. 8d. per stone. The supply of sheep was unusually large, and much in excess of the demand; the consequence was that the tone of trade was hardly so good as last week. The lamb trade was about the same as before, but 11,281,376 inferior quality was firmer in value, the prices realised being 5s. 6d. to 6s. 4d. 18,376,275 Veal was rather more in demand, and improved rates were obtained in some 11,447,680 instances. Pork was about the same as before. 687,109 THURSDAY.-The state of trade to-day was far from active, and there was no recovery from the decline of last Monday. The best beef made 4s. 8d. and mutton 5s, but nothing beyond those rates. £ M. MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. £ Public Deposits (including June 23, 1859. RAILWAYS AND PUBLIC COMPANIES. SHARES OF £ BURGLARY AND SUICIDE.-A burglary was committed on Saturday morning in a lonely farmhouse, called the Ing Head, near Bradford, occupied by a young woman named Sarah Gledhill. For the last five months, since her father's death, Miss Gledhill has been the only occupant of the farmhouse. On Saturday morning Miss Gledhill was awakened by a noise at the parlour-window. She immediately rose, and, while hastily dressing, a man came across the parlour floor. As he stood before her she demanded what he wanted. He answered that he was on his way to Halifax, and that he had come for money, and intended to have it. He then seized Miss Gledhill roughly by the throat, and demanded her money. She offered a firm resistance, and called aloud for "Jane," an old woman who chanced on that night to be sleeping in the house. The burglar, evidently disconcerted by the presence of another person, instantly withdrew his grasp, and beat a hasty retreat. Miss Gledhill seized a poker, but the burglar hastily turned upon her, and, after a violent struggle, disarmed and threw her with great violence against the wall on one side of the room. He then disappeared, taking with him the poker Miss Gledhill saw his features by the light of the moon, and felt satisfied that she knew the burglar. On Saturday evening Miss Gledhill proceeded to Bradford, in company with a police officer, in search of the burglar. He was immediately recognised by a member of the Bradford borough force from the description, and in a very short time an Irishman, who gave his name as James Renza, was 11. 6 3 apprehended, and unhesitatingly identified by Miss Gledhill as the burglar. At ten o'clock on Saturday night he was lodged in the Bradford Court house. On Sunday morning, however, the prisoner hung himself in the cell. Chadwick, the gaoler, on going to the cell about twenty minutes past eleven, discovered him suspended by a neckerchief to a ring in the wall. On Monday the coroner held an inquest on the body, and the jury returned a verdict of “Felo de se.” SUNDAY SAILING ON THE CLYDE.-A lawsuit for some years pending in the Court of Session in reference to the use of the piers at Gareloch by passengers landing from steamers plying on the Clyde on Sundays has just been brought to a termination. When the Sunday steamer was first started on the Clyde, in 1853, Sir J. Colquhoun, proprietor of the piers of Garelochhead, Row, and Rowmore, took forcible measures to prevent the landing of the passengers there, and for several Sundays the piers were the scene of unseemly contests between the passengers attempting to land and the servants of the proprietor resisting the attempt. Legal measures were then taken on the one side to interdict, and on the other to claim, the use of the pier by the public on Sundays. The Court in the first instance refused to interdict the public use of the pier on Sundays until the proprietor had established his rights in a possessory action to exclude the public. In the action as ultimately brought it was admitted by the defenders (Paton and others, owners of the steamer Emperor) that the three piers in question had all been built by Sir J. Colquhoun at his own expense, and the question at issue was whether the piers being used by the public on the six days of the week the public were entitled also to use them on the seventh. The Court held that in the circumstances in which these piers had been erected the proprietor was entitled, in virtue of possession and of usage previous to 1853, to restrict the public use of the piers in the way he sought to do, and that the proprietor did not necessarily sacrifice his private rights by giving the public access to the piers, there being no grant of free-port in the case. The Court therefore interdicted the defenders from landing passengers at the piers in question in vessels leaving and returning to Glasgow on Sundays. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-Ilfracombe has been the scene of a melancholy accident. Mr W. Blathwayt, youngest son of Colonel Blathwayt, of Dyrham park, Gloucestershire, formed one of a picnic party held on the Combe on Thursday week, and in the course of the afternoon climbed down the cliff in search of gull's eggs. While so engaged, he missed his footing, slipped, and was literally dashed to pieces. The deceased, who was an ensign in the 83rd Regiment, was on the eve of marriage, and his untimely death has naturally created great distress both in his own family and in that of his affianced bride. GUN ACCIDENT.-Yesterday week an accident of a most serious character happened to Mr W. Gibbons, a musical professor of Brighton, which has resulted in the entire loss of the left hand and part of the forearm. Mr Gibbons was very fond of shooting, and on the day in question he took his gun and proceeded to Goldstone Bottom, where, after firing several shots, he met a shepherd, with whom he entered into conversation, resting the butt of the gun on his foot and leaning with his left wrist over the muzzle. While they were thus standing, a dog belonging to the shepherd kept playing about them, and it is supposed that he must have come in contact with the trigger, causing the gun to explode, and shattering Mr Gibbons's hand in the most frightful manner; in fact, it was almost severed from his arm. He was speedily conveyed to the hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate the arm below the elbow. 3s 4d to 4s 8d 45 4d to 5s od 5s 6d to 6s 4d 3s 10d to 58 04 Pork 3s 8d to 4s 8d Corn Market, MONDAY.-Yesterday the weather was gloomy and close and to-day we have rain with a falling barometer, and as the Wheat is now on the "Bloom" we should soon see a run up in prices should wet weather continue for a few days. Since this day week we have had liberal supplies of Foreign Wheat and Flour, but moderate of Barley and Oats. To-day there were only a few samples of English Wheat fresh up, but these, added to the runs left over from last Monday, were fully sufficient for the demand. Wheat-The best lots of English were taken at about last Monday's decline, while the ordinary runs were only partly sold at a further reduction of 1s. and Foreign found a moderate sale at about the current rates of this day week; upon the whole therefore we are better than last Friday, and this branch of the trade seems to have seen its lowest. BarleyWas a heavy sale without alteration in value. Oats-All descriptions were dull of sale and 6d. cheaper than on this day week. Beans and Peas-Firm in prices, supplies keeping small, and the crops being complained of.-Flour-The top price is reduced 48. per sack. Norfolks were rather more inquired after at 30s. to 318. and ordinary French at about 33s. fine up to 36s. FRIDAY.-The weather to day is gloomy but dry. Since Monday the arrivals of Foreign Grain to this market have been small, and at the ports of call only three or four cargoes are on sale. As all our Provincial markets and most of the Foreign have made an advance, this market has at last thrown aside its late lethargy, and we are enabled to report a decidedly better demand for Wheat at Is. to 2s. improvement on all sorts. Barley was not a brisk sale, but Monday's were obtained. Oats found favor, at an advance of fully 6d. over Monday's quotations. For Flour the demand was not extensive, but Norfolk made Is. more money, and French was held for a similar improvement. rates PAID.

Upon throwing up their windows they beheld a man in his night shirt, without any shoes or stockings on, with a scarlet handkerchief tied round his waist and a piece of string passed round his neck to which was tied a bell. The man came running past Camberwell green with the greatest speed.

The following results are stated in the Report: The NEW ASSURANCES effected during 1858 exceed HALF A MILLION, and the amount during the last ten years exceeds FIVE MILLIONS. The INCOME of the Company is upwards of TWO HUN. DRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS, and The ACCUMULATED FUND exceeds, considerably, ONE MILLION AND A HALF. The STANDARD was established in 1825, and the profits realised have been divided on five occasions, 1835, 1840, 1845, 1850, and 1855. The SIXTH DIVISION OF PROFITS will take place NEXT YEAR, and there is an advantage in joining the Company before the close of the books in the present year, as the benefit of two years' entry to the profit scheme will be secured. Attention is specially directed to the fact that the Company have lately introduced into their Policies certain terms and conditions which make them of increased value as the basis of marriage settlements, family provisions, and all transactions where it is essential that the contract should be, as far as possible, a complete security against all contingencies.
