INSPECTION OF FOREIGN CATTLE AT THE METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Inspection of foreign cattle at the Metropolitan Cattle Market, [Copenhagen-fields, London], 1865. 'The importance of exercising a strict supervision over the sanitary state of these cattle...has lately occupied much of the public attention...Mr. Gibbins [chairman of the Markets Committee, Corporation of London] and Mr. Rudkin...[inspected] the cattle market at Islington, and visited the several slaughter-houses. Here a number of cows were found in a very bad state of disease, and they were immediately seized and condemned by the officer. The market itself was also inspected, and the attention of the inspector was called to about forty cows which had been sent to the market from a dairy at the west end of London, among which were several in a diseased condition. The inspector, acting under the powers vested in him, ordered the whole number to be immediately destroyed, so as to prevent the spread of the disease. The Markets Committee have made a report on the desirability of establishing hospitals or sanatoriums...to which diseased cattle may be removed...[and] may there receive proper medical treatment with a view to their ultimate recovery. There is a strong feeling among the cattle salesmen...in favour of the establishment of such places'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

This society was formed in 1812...for the purpose of affording relief to unfortunate Frenchmen in London, without distinction of religious faith or political opinion...The existing president of the society is the Duke d'Aumale [owner of Orleans House]. The society allows weekly payments in money, clothing, and food, and grants passage-money to those French subjects who are desirous of returning to their country; it also advances money to those who wish to exercise their profession or trade in England. The society has already distributed more than £12,000 sterling...The stalls were held by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Chartres, her Royal Highness the Duchess d'Aumale, the Duchess of St. Albans, the Marchioness of Ely, the Countess of Tankerville, the Countess of Waldegrave, and Lady Proby. An elegant marquee had been erected on the lawn in front of the house, with tricolour oriflammes, which also lined the road up to the grounds. The chief attraction was the stall of the Duchess d'Aumale, where the venerable Queen Amelie remained for some time. The weather was pleasant, and a numerous concourse of visitors enjoyed this lively scene'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

Her Royal Highness was attended by the Countess of Morton, and the Prince of Wales by Major Teesdale.

DEMOLITION OF HUNGERFORD MARKET: VIEW LOOKING TOWARDS THE STRAND, 1862. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.
Demolition of Hungerford Market: view looking towards the Strand, [London], 1862. 'The disappearance of Hungerford Market...is perhaps not a subject of much, if any, regret...On its site there is about to rise a grand West-end Metropolitan Railway terminus [Charing Cross station]...The structure which has been recently demolished occupied the site of a market-place built in 1608 by Sir Edward Hungerford...the old hall and a colonnade remained until about 1830...[when] the late building was erected...there was a dreary makeshift aspect even in the corridors of the quadrangles...But the car of the great railway Juggernaut has passed over the whole space and laid it desolate, as may be seen from our Engraving, which is taken from a point river-wards, and looking towards the Strand; the steeple of St. Martin's Church and the dome and ball of the Electric Telegraph Office peering over the houses, the back view of which occupies the centre of the picture, while the first arches of the London Bridge and Charing-cross Railway, which crosses the river at this point by a viaduct which is to supersede the Suspension-bridge, are to be seen creeping close up to the verge of the great thoroughfare which leads from Trafalgar-square to Temple-bar'.
