THE LONDON MARKETS METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. LONDON, MONDAY, November 24.—There was a fair average time-of-year supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, but its general quality was by no means prime. Sales progressed slowly, at stationary prices. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morn- ) ing were onlv moderate as to number; but the quality of each breed was tolerably good. In some instances, the Scots, Devons, Herefords, and shorthorns appeared in very prime condition. They, therefore, commanded a steady inquiry, at prises fully equal to Monday last, the primest Scots having sold at fis, the best shorthorns, Ac, at 5s 8d per 81b. Inferior beasts were a slow sale; nevertheless, late rates were fairly supported. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received 2,500 shorthorns, &c from other parts of England, 701 of various breeds; from Scotland, 40 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 600 oxen and heifers. We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, including the foreign arrivals; but the general condition of the stock was by no means prime. Downs and half-breds were in good request, at very full prices, the top figure being is 8d per _81b; otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and, in soma instances, the currencies were a shade lower than on this day se'nnight. Calves, the supply of which was good, were a dull sale, at Thursday's decline in the quotations. Pigs were steady in price, and the demand for them was tolerably active. per 8 lit. to sink the DIal.

The imports of foreign oats have been large with moderately fair quantities of other articles of the trade. The weather has been dull and cold throughout the past week. Winds generally from the northward, and favourable for field work of every description. The frost has been sharp the two past nights. English wheat came for- ward in better condition, the sale was rather improved, and former prices paid. There was a moderate retail for foreign wheat; prices generally were the same as last week for all good qualities. The the price of town made flour was put down 4s per sack. Country marks were steady in value. The best brands of Americans were scarce, and fully as dear. Select malting barley a moderate sale at last week's currency; other qualities purchased slowly, but were not offered lower. Fine malt was steady in value and demand. Inferior samples were dull and rather lower. Beans met a moderate sale at previous quotations. Ptias realized nearly as much money for approved breakers, others easier to purchase. There was a fair extent of business trans- acted in oats good corn at nearly as much money; inferior and out of condition paicels were rather lower, with less pressure to sell. Linseed was held with much firmness, at high prices. Rapeseed was without change in value. Cloverseed quite as dear, with inquiries for good qualities. Canaryseed sold at full prices. BRITISH.

THIRTEEN PRINCES OF WALES.…
THIRTEEN PRINCES OF WALES. THIRTEEN PEINCES OF WALES. We take from 'All the year Round' the following interesting details of the coming of age of the various Princes of Wales whom we have held:- He is the thirteenth English Prince of Wales who comes of age this year on Sunday, the 9th of November. Of his predecessors, only four held the title when they came of age, so this is only the fifth of such coming of- age known to English history. Of the four who thus came of age as the Princes of Wales, three came to the throne. Four of the princes married, and of these only one made a Princess of Wales a Queen. May the omen be absent from this celebration for all England joins the present Prince in wishing that it may be forty years and more before he can be king. In the fourteenth century, Edward the Black Prince, first Prince of Wales, died, aged forty-six, in the lifetime of his father. In him, England saw the first celebration of a marvidge of a Prince of Wales — a genuine love- match celebrated five hundred and one years ago with the bright hearty and merry countess, his cousin Joan, the Pair Maid of Kent, daughter and heiress of the Earl of Kent, whom Mortimer had put to death, Edward the third died soon after his eldest son, that Richard, his eleven-year-old grandson and successor/ never took his brother's title of Prince of Wales. Henry the fourth of Lancaster, having seized the throne, con- ferred next on his eldest son—Falataff's sweet Hal—the rank of Prince of Wales, the second of the name. Hal became king before he was of age, and married as a king, not while a prince. His son, Henry the Sixth, was pro- claimed king while yet in his swaddling-clothes, only nine months old, aid he was never Prince of Wales. Wars of the Roses preceded the a. cession of Edward the Fourth, who had not been a Prince of Wales. The third of the Princes of Wales was Edward the Fifth, who wbo began to reign at the age of thirteen, and in the days of whose princedom there wa,. for himself neither coming of age nor marriage. Richard the Third, of course, never was Prince of Wales, but the title was given by him to his son Edward, who died in infancy. That was the fourth prince the fifth was Arthur, son of King Henry the Seventh. This Prince of Wales did not survive to yeptrs of discretion, nnr did he live to attain the throne, but he was the second Prince of Wales who married. At fifteen years of age he became the husband of the Spanish Infanta, Catherine of Aragon. There was great festivity in London. Five months afterwards the boy was dead. His brother Henry, then aged twelve, succeeded him as Prince of Wales and it was arranged for him that when he attained the age of fifteen, he should succeed, by marriage, to his brother's widow. He did not marry her until a few weeks after attaining the throne, at the age of eighteen so there was neither coming of age nor wedding when Henry the Eighth was Prince of Wales, and he was the fifth who bore the title. Henry's son, Edward the Sixth, came as a boy to the throne, and is said never to have been created Prince of Wales. Then followed, Mary, Elizabeth, and James the First,, whose son, Henry (ttie, sixth Prince of VVales) died before coming of age, and while his probable mar- riage was but matter of discussion. His brother Charles was the seventh of this broken line of princes. He came of age while Prince of WaJes, and signed as prince the marriage contract with Henrietta Maria, renewing his signature after he had become king, at the age of twenty- five. He was Charles the First before she actually came to him as wife. The next Prince of Wales was detained front the throne by thr Commonwealth; when he came of age he had just been crowned by the Scots of Scone, and was near the end of the vain struggle against Cromwell. He became king at thirty, and it was as king that he married Catherine of Portugal. His brother, James the Second, who succeeded him, of course had not been Prince of Wales, nor was his infant son, nor was William of the Revolution, nor was Queen Anne's one surviving son William, named Duke of Glou- cester; after whose death the Act of Settlement Willi passed, which in due time made of George the First an English king. Thus, after the time of the Commonwealth, we have no formally created Prince of Wales until the raign of George the First, when his son, who became George the Second, received that rank, being more than thirty years of age before he held it, when he had been already mar- ried ten years. So in the day also of his princedom there was neither coming of age nor marriage. The next prince, the tenth in the list, was Frederick, the eldest son of George the Second. Frederick first came to England after his father's accession, and his own creation of Prince of Wales, when he was already just of age. His coming of age, therefore, was no matter of public interest, but there was celebration in abundance of his marriage eight or nine years later, with the Prin- cess Augusta of Saxe Gotha. Frederick died before his father; and his son by this marriage, afterwards George the Third, was the next—the eleventh—Prince of Wales, who became king at the age of eighteen. In his prince dom, also, there was no coming of age nor marriage. The next and the last of the departed rrmeesofthis rank washe who became George the Fourth. As prince he came of age and as prince also he married-twice. He was first married to Mrs Fitzherbert, and afterwards to to Caroline of Brunswick. She was the only Princess of Wales—unless we give that title, by right of a signed but unfulfilled contract of marriage, to Henrietta Maria, whose husband attained to the throne. Clearly there can be no good precedent of English rejoicings at the coming of age of a Prince of Wales. For, the only precedents are to be found in the troubled youth of Charles the First, in Charles the Second's days of exile, in the coming of age of Frederick, the eldest son of George the Second—which took place at about the time of his arrival in this country as Prince of Wales, just after the accession of a father jealous of his son—and in the days of Prince George, who became George the Fourth. This prince furnishes in fact, in the course of our history the solitary precedent cf anything whatever having been done publicly to meet the occasion. He came of age on the twelfth of August, 1783, on which day the king and queen received the compliments of the nobility. Early in the year the king's message had been conveyed to both Houses of Parliament for the prince's separate establishment, and a hundred thousand pounds were voted for that purpose. The actual day of the coming of age was celebrated only by the festivity of private bodies of friends; the public celebration was de- ferred for eight months, until the twenty-first of April in the ensuing year, and then we do not find that anything was made of it. The only public ceremony was the in- troduction of the Prince to Parliament, on the eleventh of November-three months after the coming of age. Having been made a Knight of the Garter, he entered the House of Lords in his collar and robes, introduced by a ceremonious procession, his coronet carried before him on a crimson velvet cushion, and he himself carrying his writ of summons, supported by his uncle the Duke of Cumberland, and the Dukes of Richmond and Portland. The writ and patent as Prince of Wales having been delivered with due ceremony, his Royal Highness was conducted to his chair on the right hand of the throne, whence his Majesty, who was there seated, delivered a speech and retired. The Prince then took the oath of allegiance and supremacy, and made and subscribed the oath of abjuration. Ten days later, the Prince of Wales was by his Majesty's command, introduced into the Privy Council, where he took his seat at the upper end of the Hoard, at his Majesty's right. At her Majesty's right hand-in Council and out of it—may the place of the Prince who is now coming of age, be true and strong until his hair grows gray I COTTON FROM TARTARY.-On Tuesday a sample of cotton grown at Bokhara, in Usbec Tartary, was exhibited on the Liverpool Exchange. The sample was fine in quality, but one great drawback, even could tha coston be grown in large quantities, would, no doubt, be the means of transit.

CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.
CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. GENERAL M'CLELLAN SUPERSEDED. The following telegram was received yesterday at Mr Reuter's office:- NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (EVENING.)—General M'Clellan has been relieved from the command of the army of the Potomac, and General Burnside has been appointed his successor. General M'Clellan has virtually retired from active service. A correspondence between General Halleck and the Secretary of War has been published, in which the for- mer states that he issued peremptory orders to General M'Clellan, on the 6th of October, to cross the Potomac, and give battle to the enemy or drive him South. Gene- ral M'Clellan failed to obey this order, on the ground that he was short of supplies. General Halleck, however, states that General M'Clcl- lan's requisitions were promptly supplied, and there wiis nothing to prevent him a-ivnnemg. General M'Cfellan's removal lias causcd considerable excitement in the army, and among the people generally. All Republican journals endorse the President's action. The New York World, however, thinks that Jefferson Davis could have no better aid than General M'Clellan's removal. The New York Herald thinks that the removal will be received with doubts and apprehensions by the Con- servatives. Changes in the Federal Cabinet are talked of. The Harper's Ferry investigating committee have censured General M'Clellan for marching only six miles a day in pursuit of the enemy. General Lee has evaded the Federals so as to avoid fighting in the Shenandoah Valley, and is supposed to be at Gordcnsville. It is reported from Louisville that the Confederates, under General Breckenridge, 28,000 strong, have attacked Nashville on two sides. They were repulsed on one side,, but the result of the attack on the other side was not known. Two divisions of General Rosencranz's army have ar- rived at Nashville. No confirmation has been received of the reported surrender of 3,000 Confederates at Plymouth, Carolina. The draft in New York city has been postponed in- definite l y. General Beauregard has ordered all slaves and non- combatants to leave Charleston. Ttie Hammonia, Glasgow, and Bohemia, have arrived out. I NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (EVENING.)-The reported attack on Nashville was untrue. It was a mere skirmish. The Federals hold the railroad bridge across the Rap- pahannock River. The Confederates, under Generals Hill and Stonewall Jackson, are said to be somewhere in the Shenandoah Valley. General Longstreet's forces are at Culpepper, to prevent the Federal army from getting between the main body of the Confederate army and Richmond. General Buroside has issued an address to the army, in which he says he accepts the command with diffidence, but with confidence in the patriotism of the troops. General Halleck has ordered all officers of the Potomac army to join their regiments within twenty-four hours, under the penalty of dismissal. Merrimac No. 2 is completed, and is below Fort Darling, ready for sea. The Richmond Whig says that if electioneering asser- tions could be believed, the result of the Northern elections would be equal to a declaration of peace, but, the Whig adds, we place no confidence in these assertions. The Southern journals assert that the Federals were defeated in their expedition from Newburn to Williams- town, North Carolina. At the Union Democratic Association meeting, Mr John van Buren announced that he would support the nomination of General M'Clellan as the Democratic can- didate for the next Presidency. The proposed nomination was seconded with loud plaudits. The Secretary of the Treasury has advertised for 13,000,000 dollars of seven three tenths per cent. bonds, being the remainder of the issue authoriied, but not yet disposed of. FRANCE. PARIS, NOVEMBER 22 (EVENING.)-The La France, in an article upon the attitude of England with respect to Greece, and on the candidature of Prince Alfred for the throne of that country, draws attentiou to the gravity of the situation, and says:—' The Great Western Powers have common interest in the East, which ought to unite, and not to divide them. It is evident that if one of the Powers desired to obtain a preponderance to the pre- judice of the other, the equilibrium of their relations would be disturbed, and a shock be given to the prin- ciples on which their good understanding rests.' PARIS, Nov. 23. —The Paris papers of to-day publish a telegram, dated Athens, Nov. 21st, asserting that orders had been sent to Corfu from London to make preparations in that island for the reception of Prince Alfred. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 22. -Intelligence has been received here from Athens, that the choice of Prince Alfred for the Greek Throne is certain. GREECE. ATHENS, Nov. 20.—It is asserted that the English Minister has consulted his Government with respect to the demonstrations taking place in favour of Prince Alfred. The English Government is stated to have replied that the Minister should in no way endeavour to influence the election. ATHENS, Nov. 22.—The refugees Zimbrakerkis, Manos, and Smolentz have arrived here, and have received a brilliant ovation. The elections to the National Assembly are to com- mence upon the 6th and terminate on the 10th of December. The great probability of the election of Prince Alfred to throne has caused some excitement among the foreign Ministers. Tranquillity prevails throughout the country. The English Minister has declared that he will in no way influence the election to the throne, and that Greece is perfectly free to make her own choice. It is considered certain that Prince Alfred will be elected. EXTRACTION OF THE BALL FROM GARIBALDI'S WOUND. PISA, Nov. 23.—At ten o'clock this morning Doctor Zanetti successfully extracted the bullet from Garibaldi's wound. BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—The Independance Beige publishes a despatch, announcing that a splinter of bone and the bullet have been extracted from Garibaldi's wound with great ease. MUNIFICENT LEGACY.-To the Leeds charities and the Bradford Infirmary, Mr Abraham Musgrave, of Bramley, whose death occurred a few days ago, has left the sum of £ 40,000. £ 10,000 go to the Bradford Infir- mary, and the remaining £ 30,000 to the Leeds General Infirmary, the Leeds House of Recovery, and the Leeds Eye and Ear Infirmary, in equal proportions of £ 10,000 to each. WAR OFFICE CIRCULAR.—The subjoined circular in reference to accidents occurring at rifle ranges has recently issued from the War Offices:- War Office, Nov. -Sir,- The attention of the Secretary of State for War has been drawn to certain fatal or serious accidents which have lately occurred at rifle ranges belonging to volunteer corps, anl he regrets to learn, from the reports which he has received, that in several cases those accidents arose from neglect of the precautions prescribed by the regula- tiona for the instruction and practice of musketry by the officers and non-commissioned officers whose daty it was to enforce them. Sir George Lewis, therefore, requests that you will impress upon the adjutant and sergeant- instructors under your command the necessity of ob- serving strict regularity and discipline when in charge of firing parties; and that you will point out to them that they will be in future held seriously responsible for any deviation from the regulations of the service in which they may be concerned, I am also to inform you that, while Sir George Lewis desires that every facility should be afforded to persons of all classes to acquire a knowledge of the use of the rifle, he is of opinion that the safety of the public requires that indiscriminate private practice at volunteer rifle ranges should not be permitted, and he therefore requests that you will take steps to regulate the practice at the ranges under your control, so as to ensure the presence of an officer or non-commissioned officer on all occasions when firing is going on. I am fnrther to observe that the practice of employing boys as markers at butts is highly dangerous and improper, and to request that you will take care that none bnt non-commissioned officers, or experienced voluuteers, Act in that capacity at the ranges belonging to the corps under your command. -1 have, &c', DK OBEY AND RIPON." EXPORTS OF COAL TO THE UNITED STATES.—Not- withstanding the commercial depression produced by the American war, it is gratifying to find that the exports of coal from this country to the United States during the first three quarters of this year have exceeded those of 1860 and 1859. The following are the figures for the first, nine months of the last four years1859, 17*2,592 tons 1860, 24 £ ,736 tons; 1861, 330,467 tons; 1862, 252.985 tons. The total export of coals to a)I parts of the world (the coasting trade excepted) during the same months, were in 1859 5,495,081 tons; in I860, 5,637,152 tons; in 1861, 6,001,616 tons; and in 1862, 6,553.923 tons-so that during the four years, on the three-quarterly periods, there has been an increase of upwards of a million tons. A COGENT REASON FOR DECLINING THE MAYORALTY. -The Kendal Mercury give, the following curious extract from the records of the Corporation of that town :-Sir,- WI,¡'f\ the Burgessess of this Corporation did me the iiu^iuiir to nominate me Mayor for the ensuing Year I was in hopes to have served the Town in my Capacity But I now find my family affairs are such as will not admit of it without great inconveniency for at the very time I should be Sworn Mayor My wife will 1 apprehend be lying Inn. I must therefore be obliged to pay my fine for resigning the place of Alderman And have accordingly sent you twenty pounds to be paid into the Court for that purpose. I am with my best respects to Mr Recorder end the Aldermen Your humble Servant JOHN MILLER. Kendall, 7 br. 3* 1746. To Mr Alderman Symson, with 2i)lb.—Mr Alderman Miller's excuse was held to be valid (as how indeed could it be otherwise?), and consequently his resignation—together with the £ 20—was accepted by the Corporation, and he was let off accordingly. THE SOLDIER'S GREATEST PERIL.- The experience of this war confirms that of nearly all campaigns, that soldiers are in far greater danger from the diseases incident to camp life, than from the weapons of the enemy. There are many surprising facts illustrating this in the history of the English and French armies. The 62nd English Regiment lost more officers and men in four months from the climate of Jamaica than by the enemy in an active war of 22 years, in which it was 26 times in battle. The French sent 309,268 officers and men to the Crimean war, of whom 200,000 were under medical treat- ment, 50,000 being for wounds and 150,000 for diseases. Among these soldiers there were 69,229 deaths, of whom only 7500 were killed on the battle held or not afterwards heard of, being eight deaths from other causes to one in battle. It is the deliberate opinion of Scrive, an intelli- gent investigator, that the losses occasioned by the most murderous battles do not equal one-fourth of the total losses to which an army is ordinarily subjected.-Boston j ( U.S,) Paper. CRINOLINE IN RHYME.—A lady with a crinoline was wakling down a street-her feathers fluttered in the air, her hoops stuck out some feet. She walked the earth as if she felt of it she was no part, and proudly did she step along, for pride was in her heart. She did notsee a curly dog which walked close by her side, all have the curly tail of which her crinoline did hide. His tail the dog with pleasure shook-it fluttered in the wind, and from the lady's crinoline stuck out a foot behind. A crowd the tail did soon espy, as it waved to and fro, and like a rudder seemed to point the way the maid must go. The curly don right pleased was he, the quarters he had got., and walked beside the lady in a kind of doggish trot Each step the lady now did make served to increase her train while those who followed in her wake roared out with might and main. Some held their sides, they laughed so hard, and others fairly cried, while many even still confess that they'd 'like to died.' But still the lady sailed along in the crinoline and j r d', unmindful of the crowd behind, or dog close by her side, but soon another dog espied the tail which fluttered free, it so provoked his ire he could not let it be. But with a deep ferocious growl, for battle straight he went, and 'neath the lady's crinoline both dogs were quickly pent. They fought, 'tis said one hour or more—the lady nothing knew, but with her head erect sailed on, and did her way pursue. Some say she never would have known at all about the fight, had not one dog mistook, and gave her 'limb' an awful bite. But since that day I've heard it said that the lady ne'er was seen upon the street with so much pride and such a crinoline. THE NEW LORD MAYOR. —MR Alderman Rose, the new Lord Mayor, is probably the youngest man who has reached the civic chair. Born in 1829, be is only 42. He is of Scotch descent, a scion of one of the oldest families in Creat Britain, the Roses of Kilravock Castle, Nairnshire, Great Britain. The present Commander in Chief in India, Sir Hugh Rose, is descended from the same family, as was the Right Hon. George Rose, whose interesting correspondence has lately been published. Alderman Rose is another instance of a self-made man, having attained his present position by his own unaided exertions—by industry, perseverance, and energy. Very early in life he commenced business on his own account in the ward where he is now alderman, and on a portion of the site of his present warehouses, of which he is now the freeholder. In 1854 Alderman Hooper (then alder- man of Queenhithe) died, and Mr Rose, although only thirty four years of age, aspired to succeed him. Some of the leading inhabitants, however, thought him too young and opposed his election, his antagonist being Mr Croll. Thereupon a determined contest arose; but, after an exciting struggle, Mr Rose was elected; and it is only just to say that, carrying on his business in the ward he represents, having a house there, and being always accessible, his former opponents have been ever since his election amongst his stanchest friends. In 1855-56 Alderman Rose served the office of Sheriff of London and Middlesex, and during this shrievalty the trial of William Palmer took place. It lasted twelve days, and created an amount of excitement quite un- paralleled by any trial we have any account of. The sheriffs received the highest eulogiums, alike from the judges, th" corporation of London, the press, and the public in general, for the admirable arrangements then made for the conduct of the trial and the preservation of order. The Lord Mayor has been mainly instrumental in establishing the London Pifle Brigade, of which he is the senior major. The preliminary meeting of the sup- porters of the volunteer movement in the City was held in his ward, and he has ever been unremitting in his attention to his military duties. In 1^57 Mr Alderman Rose was a candidate for the representation of Newport but, refusing to give pledges demanded by a small section of the constituency, he was beaten by a narrow majority. His supporters, however, presented him with a flattering testimonial, and he finally retired with the good will both of those who had supported him, and of those who for the time were opposed to him. The Lord Mayor married (first) Charlotte, the relict of T. M. Flockton, Esq., who dying, he married (secondly) his present wife, Grace Charlotte, the elder daughter of the late Captain Winterton Snow, of the Madras Army, and grand- daughter of Colonel Snow, deputy adjutant general of the same army. Her maternal grandfather was military auditor general of the Madras presidency, and her uncle Major General Sir Ascott Waugh, was for many years surveyor general of India, a most important position, requiring the highest scientific attainments.
