d _YORKSHIRE: 
Lately, at a numerous meeting of the cut- 
ting-butchers, of Shefiield and its vicinity, * to 
take into. confideration the prefent high price of 
butchers? meat, and the means of relieving fo 
extenfiye and alarming an evil,” it was refolved 
unanimonfly, ** that the prattice of carcafe- 
butchers, ia monopolizing the ‘markets on 
whick the Sheffield market is dependant for the 
fupply of cattle and fheep (which practices 
have, of late years, much incxeafec) is one 
Lancafbirein.Yorkppire, 
caufe of the dearnefs of butchers? meat, inthis 
town and-neighbourheod, and therefore ought 
to he reftri@ed, &c, That « the practices of 
jobbers, and others, who buy cattle and fheep 
on fpeculatioh, which are afterwards fold at ad 
vanced prices, feveral times, before. they are 
purchafed by the cutting retaih butchers,” &c, 
“ as alfo, after they are killed for faie (by 
which means feveral “unneceffary profits are ob~ 
tained, between'the farmer and confumer) are 
the Soncipal caufes of the dearnefs,’’ &c. that 
“© fuch practices, having of late years much 
increafed, and being now. rapidly increaling, 
ought to be abolifhed.” _Alfo, “ that itis the 
opinion of the meeting, that the bills pending 
in parliament, forthe remedy of fimilar evils 
in London, &c. would, if paiied, into a law, 
and extended to the kingdom at large, be at- 
tended with very beneficial effects to the wholg 
community.” 
At alate meeting of the mafterwardens, 
fearchers, and afi ftants, of the company of 
oe and of other merchants, manufaCturers, 
&c. of Shefizele, it was refolved, that «* any 
alteration in the exiting laws, fo as to cimini 
or do away the refpontibility which at prefent _ 
attaches to fhip-owners, as carriers for the 
goods entrufted to their care, would greatly en- 
Sos nger the fafety of trade, and become a fource 
of innumerable difputes ; and that the prefent 
Lill, exonerating carriers ‘from all refponiibility 
in certain cafes, and in others Srdiey es that 
refponfibility to a very {mail pettion of the da~ 
mages which mye be incurred, by confining it to 
1 (July, 
the value of the veffei and freight, would, ifgrant- © 
ed, tend to fubvert many “of the commercial 
and infurance laws na exifting.”

the figure of which meafures 7 feet by 3 Get 
ir ch ; the ret of the window is ornamented 
with tafteful devices, exhibiting beautiful and 
fplendid tints, continually diverffied by the 
varying rays of light which fall on it.

{pot occupied by’ his incarceration) which, 
from its fize, fituation, &c. muft have lait
