She gave an alarm , and a young ¦ woman who was oppesite gave a description of three men whom she had seen run off , and on their being aiprthendt-d , she swore to seeing Hayes come out of the shop with the butter , which he banded to another , and they all ran away .

He had , for a week pas ? , absented himself , but no suspicion was entertained until Monday last , when he was seen going

      towards the premises by Mr . Dresser s man servant , and in repiy to a question made an evasive excuse . He was soon afterwards seen , with two othei men , carry away some chairs from Mr . Dresser ' s house , and then the premises were examined , and it was found that a number of chairs , fenders , and fire iron 3 , and other articles , were missing . The prisoner was apprehended at his lodgings , ISo . 1 , Stead ' s Yard , Union-street .

Fbightjul Acotde . vt in a Papeb-Mill . —A shocking fatality occurred on the " 23 rd instant , at the paper manufactory of Mrs . Mary Crompton , at Colly hurst , Manchester . The sufferers were Eliza Jenkinson , twenty-eight years of age , house-servant

      to Mrs . Crompton , who was killed on the spot , her body being literally torn in pieces , and Mrs . Crompton herself , who lost her left arm . It appears that Mr 3 . Crompton was at the time engaged in " putting in" to one of the calendars , for Ann Horrocks , a female in her employ , who had just gone to dinner ; the deceased servant came into the room to deliver a message . The room is nearly filled with the machinery . On the . ' eft of the entrance was a large waterwheel , and on the right there is the caleudar at which Mrs . Crompton was employed , a narrow avenue on ' . y sufficient for one person to pass , being left between them . Up to this avenue came two cogwheels , and in pacing the cog-wheels the deceased ' s clothes were caught by the teeth of the lower wheel . The wheels going at the rate of twelve to fifteen

      revolutions in a minute , the poor creature was iustantly drawn into the hole under the wheel . Mrs . Crompton , perceiving her danger , ran to render what assistance she could , but she also become entangled . The assistance of some of the men being proenred , the wheels were reversed , and Mrs . Crompton , who was found laid upon the deceased , was extricated . She was severely injured , and her left arm was torn from her body . She was conveyed home , and efforts were then made to release the poor girl . The body presented a most frightful spectacle ; she was lying under the wheel ; all her clothes were torn off ; her body was literally cut in two , from the lower part to the head ; her entrails were torn out , and lay upon

      the floor : part of her face was torn away , and almost every bone in her body was broken . One of her legs was found on the opposite side of the wheel . The body , thus shockingly mangled , was conveyed to the Andrew ' s Arms , where an inquest was held the same day before the borough coroner . Evidence of the occurrence wa 3 given , but there was no proof of hlameable neglect , except that the cog-wheels might have been partitioned off . The Jury found that the deceased " died from lacerations and fractures accidentally received from a cog-wheel , " stating that had it not been for the injuries received by Mrs . Crompton in trying to extricate the deceased , they should have imposed a very heavy deodand on the machinery .

      Atrocious Mcbdeb . —It is our melancholy duty to record the circjmstanc&s of a most atroc . ous aud co ' . d-blooied murder , which was committed < n Sunday evening last in the neighbourhood of St-. Helen ' s . The victim is a young married woman , of highly respectable connexions , and the wife of a painter who has lately been employed by Mr . A . T . Woods , of St . Helen ' s . The tragedy is aggravated by the sup-DnEition that the miscreant who perpetTated the deed is her own husband . At present it would be highly censurable to attribute to dreadful an offence to a ! by individual until there has been a judicial investigation ; but , from what has already transpired , we arc- afraid the surmise above alluded to will prove a reality . So far as we have been able to collect the particular circumstances attendant upon this

      shocking event , it is found , that on Sunday afternoon the husband of the deceased went to church , and afterwards , say aboat fire o ' clock in the evening , took his wife aion

      sue had gone , and had not since been seen by him . He made inquiries for her at other places where she was accustomed to call , but he could not find her , and went to bed , giving the parties with whom he lodged to understand that he imagined his wife-must have gone to Ashton , where her mother lived , and he would follow her in the morning . This story did tot appear impobable , for his wife , whose awful end we are now recording , was very far advanced in pregnancy , and her mother , as it was known , had invited her to Ashton , there to stop for her accouchement . Early on Monday morning Buckley left his lodgings for Afhion , and at about a quarter before eight o ' clock the body of his wife was found in a field at the top of Comb Shopbrow , with a dreadful wound inflicted in the throat—the windpipe and

      veins of the neck being completely divided . Iaformation was immediately forwarded to the police station , when Mr . Superintendant Storey , with his officers , proceeded to the place where the catastrophe had occurred ; and the body being removpd and afterwards identified , pursu t was made after Buckley to Ashton , by Mr . Storey and two other gentlemen , in Whitechapel , and shortly before reaching Ashton they met Buckley along with his father and mother travelling towards St . Helen ' s . Mr . Storey took Buckley into Whitechapel , and on reaching St . Helen's he was examined , and his shirt sleeves were sireped in blood almost up to the elbows . A knife with two blades was also found in h s possession , but no stains of blood could be detected . It would be unwige to give credence to ail th ? tales which are flying about respecting Buckley's tjuilt ; but a < ull investigation will be made to-day ( Tuesday ) before the coroner . Suspicion at presen is attached to no other person but BueJrJey ,

      but he strenuously denies his guilt , and f-tates that the stain upon his shirt is colouring , which he had been using in his daily occupation . The excitement produced by this fearful event is very great in the neighbourhood of St . Helen ' s , and hundreds have not only thronged » he place where the body lies , but as many have applied at the police-station for permission to see the suspected criminal . If Buckley be guilty , it is supposed by those with whom he was acquainted that jealousy had been his incentive to rid himself of his partner , while it is reported that she was a very temperate and prudent woman . Such are at present all the particulars we can supply to our readers of this sad and horrible deed ; and how dreadful it is to contemplate that there is even a possibility of the devoted wile having fallen a victim to the direful malice of her husband , and that at one fell stroke he hurried his conjugal partner and her first offspring into a premature and untimely grave . —Liverpool Mall .

      Fire and Loss of Life in Liverpool . —Qn Saturday evening last , about eight o ' clook , Mrs . Brown , wife of Mr . Brown , flint-glass dealer , Dalestreet , Liverpool , went down to the basement story of the premise ? , a place where a quantity of straw , old crates , and lumber of all sorts was kept , with a candle ; but for what purpose is not known . Shortly afterwards she was heard to scream , and her husband , rushing to the top of the stepladder , saw that the place was in flames . He instantly raised an alarm ; the fire police were immediately on the spot , the station being close by , but in his distraction forgot to tell that his wife was in

      the cellar , until after the engine had been playing for some time on the burning straw . An immediate search wa 3 commenced , but as sha could not be found , it was supposed she had found safety in flight . In a few minutes , however , one of the officers going to an obscure corner of the premises , there found the poor woman severely burnt . A medical gentleman being sent for , he ordered her to be stripped and put into a warm bed , and endeavoured for a length of time to restore animation , but without effect , attributing her death more to suffocation than the injuries from the fire , which was speedily extinguished by the active exertions of the police .

      A Cabeful Wife . —There is in the town of Barnsley a very careful and industrious woman named Wood . She has been so careful , that although she seldom lets a day pass without using her needles , yet she is using part of the last pennyworth she bought twenty years ago , one of which she broke last week . She has not bought a single halfpennyworth of pins during the last forsy years , nor has she had any given to her . A few days ago she gave her husband a severe reprimand for losing a packingneedle , which she saia she nad bought " nobbut four years sin . "

      MtJRDEBODs Assault and Robbery . —On Saturday as Mr . Sheffield , of Churchover , butcher , was returning from Rutiby market , with his journeyman arid apprentice , in a cart , about eleven p . m ., the roan observed as he was in the act of descending from the cart , that there were two strangers standing near the gate through which the cart was to pass . The men no sooner heard the remark , than one of them struck the assistant a violent blow whh a bludgeon on his knee 2 nd face , whilst the other ascended the cart and struck Shifiield a blow on the forehead , inflicting a severe wound , and another on the crown of his head , which , it is feared , has fractured his skull . Sheffield had no sooner received the blow than he fell out of the cart iiito the road ; the horses immediatrly turned round and ran away . The

      assistant , being alarmed , jumped out of the cart and waa pursued by one ot the assailants some distance , ] till stopped by his companion crying out to let him i go , as he ( the second robber ) "had got the right ] one . " The apprentice it is supposed , jumped out of I the cart as soon as he saw his master fall , as he was the first to reach the village and give the alarm . Mr . Twycross , one of the constables , accompanied by a neighbour , immediately went towards the spot , and , met Shi . rHe ! d staggering along the road ; the latter immediately requestedTwycrossto goto the railway station atRutby , and give instructions to the officers to stop any suspicious characters . After doing this Twycross went and obtained the assistance of Inspector Stanley , an active officer in the rural police , whom he accompanied to all the disreputable

      houses in the town , but without being able to obtain any clue to the party . They then went to the place where the robbery had been committed , and found one of Sheffield ' s gloves . Upon looking further , they traced footsteps in a direction for Newton , a village notorious for bad characters , near Rugby , and in passing through a spring they found the other glove ; upon reaching Newton , they went into the houses of several suspicious characters , and in one they discovered a man mending his nets , with some blood upon his clothes , for which he accounted by saying that he had been fishing . Inspector Stanley , however , at once took him into custody , and on Monday morning he was taken before a bench of magistrates at Rugby , when sufficient evidence was adduced to jastity the Court in remanding him , and strong hopes are entertained that both perpetrators of the crime will be brought to justice . It appeared that two or three market vans had passed through

      two of the gates on the road leading to Churchover within a very short time of the robbery , withonmeeting with any molestation , but upon Sheffield ' t cart coming up to the third gate it was tied ; there is , therefore , little donbt but the robbery was come mitted by parties who well knew the hour at which Sheffield returned from market , and also that he was possessed of a sum of money . On the night in question he had about £ 50 about him , the whole of which was taken away . Upon reaching home he was immediately bled , and Mr . Bucknell , of Rugby , surgeon , sent for ; that gentleman , with his assistant , premptly attended , and , after dressing the wounds , re-bled the patient , who was then put to bed . Mr . Bucknell has since bten in close attendance , and this evening , we regret to state , that the opinion of the medical man is far from favourable as to the probable results of the injury . Too much credit cannot be given to the residents of the village , nearly all of

      wnem , as soon as the alarm was given ( half-past eleven at night ; , arose , armed and mounted themselve ? , and raised a hue and cry in pursuit of the villains . '

      Highway Robbery nfar Makchestfr . —During the lasi fortnight or three weeks , several bii ; hwayrobberies have heeu committed and others attempted on or near 1 he New Sim-ford , and Stretford Roads , generally attended with violencfc ; but we have seldom known one so darinj ; , or accompanied with so many proofs of reckless brutality , as the one wa are about to record . On the evening of Friday week ; the lfoh inst ., between eight and nine o'clock , Mr . Howarth , flour dealer , Shndehill , was proceeding on horseback to his residence hear Stretford , when he observed , while passing St . George ' s Church , Hulme , that several men were following him . Suspecting nothing , however , he continued on his way , through the Cornbroofc toll-bar , the men still following him ; and shortly after he had passed the

      Northumberland Arms Inn , while he was riding slowly along , they made a rush at him , aud ono of them seized the bridle of the horse , whilst the others attempted to pull him to the ground . Hu called out "Murder ! " and " Stop thief ! " and an old man , named HenryHavrop , a carrier , from BowdoD , hearing his cries , ran up immediately to his assistance . The moment , however , that Harrop went up , he was knocked dovra by one of the robbert > , wiih a heavy bludgeon ; and while in a state of insensibility on the ground , he was robbed of a purse containing four sovereigns and some silver . The next person w 6 o came up was Joseph Gratvix , a waitor at the Northumberland Arms ; and he also was knocked ; down , the blow rendering him for Foin ' o time insensible . By this time a general alarm had

      been given at the Konhumberland Arms ; and a number ot' people camo . out , which caused tlw robbers to runoff towards the tol ' i bar , before they had succeeded in robbing Mr . Howarth . They were pursued for some distance by Mr . Barber , landlord of the above inn , and other persons ; but they c ff-: cted their escape . _ ( Information of the robbery was , of course , immf diately communicated to the police , and Supijr > ni .-eiideh . t Taylor caused every inquiry-to be madelikeiy to lead to the detection of the thieves . About nine o ' clock on Sunday evenin . tr , in consrqiienco of some intelligence he received , he proceeded , iucoinpany with Inspector Lerry , to a beer-house kept by Samuel Nixon , in Lord-sirett , Hulme , where he found three men ot suspicious character j named William Rogerson , Richard Painter , alias Marriott , and Timothy Tomlinson . He ascertained from the landlord , that Rogerson had { tone there about five

      o ' clock thatevening , and had placed an old-fashioned watch , three sovereigns , and ten shillings in silver , in his ( the landlord's ) possession , to take care of . On the officers asking Rogerson what account he had 10 give of the money , he caid , " What do you want to know for ? I shall no- - tell you anything about it . Do your best ; aud when you ' ve done all { you can , then I'll tell you . " Rogerson was then taken into custody ; but the other two men were not apprehended at that time . In the course of n . i-xt day , however , further information was received , which caused the police to search for them ; and one of them was apprehended on Monday , and the other on Thursday morning last . The two prisoners then apprehended were brought up before . Mr . Maude , at the New Bailey , and the charge was stated ; but Harrop was unable to attepd , in consequence of the severe injury-. be had received , and the prisoners were therefore remanded .

      Accident akd Miuaculous Escape of Livfs . — An accident happened on Wednesday morning last , , at the premises formerly occupied by the owner , J . P . Park , Esq ., cotton manufacturer , Withnell , situate in Edward-street-, . Friargate , in this town , but for some time past tenanted by the present occupier , Mr . Samuel Jones , iron and brass founder , and steam-loom ¦¦ ' manufacturer , which might have proved of a very fatal character . About ten o ' clock in the morning , as the workmen were following their usual employment ( no warning having previously been given ) , . all on a sudden the roof and walls of the . premises fell in with a , crash , burying the whole of the workmen employed under the ruins : but we

      are pappy to say , that the whole of the people employed escaped with their lives , owing to the very peculiar , and sloping way in which the roof fell ; otherwise the whoWof them must , in all probability , have instantaneously perished . As soon as possible , the poor creatures were extricated from their very perilous situation , aud convcyr-d , with all posaiblo haste , to the house of Mr . Wesrby Walker , surgeon , who promptly and humanely dressed their numerous wounds , and otherwise rendered . ' -. them- that assistance their complicated cases required , several of them haying received very severe sprains , cuts , and bruises . We are glad to learn that they are favourably progressing . —Preston Chronicle . .. ¦ ¦ ' -

      Highway Robbery at Newton-Heath , near Manchester . —On Monday last , attlje New Bailey , the following prisoners were brought up , charged with robbing Dr . Jerrold , of Greenheys : —Robert M'Clemon , John Jackson , John Balfe , John Thompson , William Croylsdtn , and James Ward . It appeared , that , on the aftornoon of the 17 th instant , about four o'clock , Dr . Jerrold . was proceeding along Hulme Hall-lane , sometimes called Hyde High Halllane , near Newton Heath , when he was met by a party of men , one of whom took him by the arm , and said he wished to accompany him ; shortly after , another came up to him , and began to xiflo his pockets . Seeing them intent on robbing him , he assisted them , withdrawing from his pocket his watch ,

      ana all the cash that he had , amounting to between nine and 'ten - shillings . While riniiig his pockets , one of them struck him wiih a heavy piece ot wood on the head ; another stood at some distance , with a spade in his hand , apparently looking on , though evidently connected with the party . He ( Dr . Jerrold ) said , that , if they did not ill use him , he would not make any alarm ; on which , the party who first accosted him , and who appeared to be the leader of the gang , prevented the others from further assailing him . The blow he received was not a very severe one , but such as for a short time to confuse him . The prisoner M'Ckmoh wi » s placed in froni of the bar , and Dr . Jerrold was asked if he knew him ; he ( Dr . Jerrold ) said he did , and he much regretted to say so ; he would sooner

      have assisted him if in want , than appear against him ; he was the person who first accosted him , and took hold of his arm , and prevented the others from ill l using him after he had been struck . At the time M . 'Clemon accosted him , he wore a white shooting jacket , which made him appear somewhat different to what he did then ; he ( ML'Clemon ) being dressed in a velveteen coat when brought up ; Police-officer Fletcher stated , that the prisoner M'Clemou usually dressed in a white coat ; and he had other witnesses to prove the fact . — The prisoner said he had no other coat than that in which he then appeared .. \ lr . Bent , who defended the prisoners , cross-examined Dr . Jerrold , as to his being positive as to the identity of the prisoners . Dr . jerrold had not tho slightest doubt that all the prisoners were present at the time of the robbery . When the fivo prisoners

      were first taken before Sir Ti omas Porter , at the Salford Town -Hall , on the . day-after the robbery , Dr . Jerrold said he could not speak positively as to their being the party ; the reason was , he did not like to be hasty , though he had then little or no doubt , as to their identity . Mr . Bent argued that such evidence should not be allowed to deprive men of their liberty . No vegtige of the stolen property had eeeii .-ttoiind nu the prisoners , except it might be said that the five shillings and sixpence was a part of it , of which there was not the slightest proof . Mr . Maude observed , that it was to be regretted that Dr . Jerrold did not give fully his impressions at the first examination of the prisoners ; but there was little or no doubt it arose from a good motive , to get corroborative evidence ; ano , notwithstanding what had been said , he ( Mr . Maude ) felt it his duty to send the ca .-e before a jury at the as . MZ > s . They were all committed aceoto . inely for trial at the next assizes .

      State of Trade in Paisley . —By the official return issued last week by the relief committee , it appears that the number of persons on their list is again swollen up to 8 , 626 , being an increase of upwards of 604 since the issue of the last month . But , besides this increase in the list , we are aware that a great number of applicants have been off till the committee can obtain , funds that will enable them to relieve them ; and , in addition to the increase in Paisley , the villages of Barrhead and Kilbarchan have asain broken down , and a considerable number of the inhabitants have thrown themselves on the county committee for support . In Kilbarchan about onehalf the weavers are at present idle , and the number of unemployed is daily on the increase . We have made inquiry in the best-informed quarters regarding the probable effect of the China news on the \

      trade of-Paisley ; but the parties who are most sanguine o ? revival can see no prospect of improvement , but , on the contrary , a continued throwing out of of hands for some weeks to come . In Paisley the price of cotton yarn may be quoted at about Jd . per lb . higher since the news in question came to hand ; and in addition , the manufacturers' association have sold some 7 , 000 or 8 , 000 pieces of their goods , within the last two days , at an advance of from 5 to 7 | per cent , beyond what they could previously have obtained ; but still this advance is too little to admit of the goods being replaced ; and the price they have been sold at , after paying for material and workmanship , would not leave above half the necessary allowance for the wear and tear-of machinery to-work'them even by the power-loom . — Glasgow Argus .

      The town of Thetford , in Norfolk , has been thrown into a state of unpleasont . ferment during the last few days , in consequence of a solicitor , hU therto considered of the highest respectability , having suddenly absconded , leariBg liabilities incurred by him to the amount , it is supposed , at the lowear , of £ 20 , 000 . He had appointed Friday last for meetiug some very heavy mortgage accounts , and for handing over the amount for a farm whioh he had recently pnrehared , and his non-appearance on that and the following days led to the above unpleasant discovery : His absence has almost created a panic in the neighbourhood , as from his extensive transactions in morti * g ages , conveyances , and other monetary matters * it is impossible to calculate at present the extent of his ' defalcations .

      SusPECTEB Case of Poisoning— On Sunday even * ing last , a man named John Hunter , employed as foreman in the works of Messrs . Fairbairn and Co ., engineers and millwrights , and living at No . 13 , Walter-street , Travis-street , took some oatmeal porridge , prepared by his wife . He observed that it had a peculiar taste , and requested her to taste it . Shetasteda small quantityv and Hunter finished his meal . Very shortly afterwards he was taken ill , ; being most severely purged , and vomiting violently . Medical aid was called in , and , from the symptoms , the surgeon suspected that Humer had taken poison " . The poor man continued to get-worse , notwithstanding every attention and aid , and expired on Monday evening . His wiiVs previous conduct having been somewhat irregular , it was suspected that she

      pad poisoned him , aud she was accordingly taken into custody , The police instituted inquiries ,-and succeeded , yesterday ( Tuesday ) , in a-scertaining , that about ten days ago . Mrs . Hunter went to the shop of Mr . Davies , druggist , Travis-street , and asked for two ounces of arsenic . Mr . Davies refused to sell her the poison alone ; and she soon afterwards returned with another woman , and he then supplied her with that quantity . Mr . Davies , on seeing Mrs . Hunter , identified her as the party ' to whom he sold the arsenic ; and he also identified the woman supposed to have gone with her , who , however , refuses to admit that sho did so . The inquest on the body of the unfortunate victim is to bo held this day (^ ednesday ) . Wo believe , that up to last night , no post mortem examination had been made :

      and it is stated , that all the matter ejected from the stomach had been thrown away by the prisoner , before she was secured . We understand that , one of the children , who had eaten some of the meal of which tho porridge was made , became sick and ill ; and that Mrs . Hunter also became slightly sick after tasting the porridge , but not uurii after her husband ' s vomiting had been severe . —Manchester Guanliun ;' * - In addition to the above we have received the following from our correspondent . Ou Tuesday evening Mr . Harrison , surgeon , made a . post vwrtem examination of the body , and found it to be in a state of perfect health , on removing the scalp the brain vhis healthy . The stomach was in an inflamed state , such as would be produced by taking arsenic . The stomach was quite empty , and all tbo matter tjected from the stomach , and the remainder of tue meal had been made away by tho prisoner before she Was secured . An inquest was hold on the

      body on Wednesday evening at tho Bull ' s Head Inn , London-road , when the evidence was of such a naturo as not to leave a doubt upon tho mind of any but that Hunter came by his death by unfair means . However , at the request of Mr . Harrison , who examined the body , tho inquest was adjourned until Friday morning , as by tl . at time he would have applied the proper tests to the contents of the stomach and bowels , and be able to say if he had found any poison hi the body . Tho prisoner was then removed . The deceased had the character of a kind and affectionate husband . They have been married about t « i years , a ,-id during tiiat time -Hunter , ha ' s put upwards of £ 70 in the bank . The wife has been much given to drink , and it appears that she hail taken nearly everything out of the house to pledge . The deceased Wa 3 highly respected amongst his fellow workmen , and id much lamented * by his employers . - ¦ ¦¦ "

      Don't be too Cautious . —On . Saturday- a person from Duniermline lost about jfiOO , under circutn-8 tances of a somewhat peculiar character . From motives of extreme caution he bound his drawers tight round his ancle with a pioce of tape , with the intention of placing his money inside bt' thum ,-where ' ' , he conceived there would be no possibility of abstraction . In depositing the money , however , he blunderingly placed it betwixt his trowsers and his drawers ; and while perambulating the city the treasure slipped oufc . it is believed , on the south side of the river , and has not since been found . The country merchants , with all their caution ^ sometimes commit odd mistakes . We recollect of a country , agent , to prevent his pocket being picked , placing £ 50 in his hat . He got into a great scuffle , and the end of the matter was that he lost both his hat and the £ 50 . — Glasgow Argus .

      Wanton Cruelty . —A canary bird belonging to Georgo M'Lachlan , Borland-park , near Aucnterader , was taken by his son to the bothie of . a farm where the young man was servant to a farmer in the neighbourhood . One Sunday , last summer , a person , whose feelings we do not envy , got access to it , arid actually put out the eye& of the little songster . In this dark state it Was restored to its owner , who , by careful attention , taught it to find its way to the seed-box and the water-glass . In time it became reconciled to its fate , and now it makes the cottage ring with its melodious cotes . As it cannot distinguish night from day , it continues to pour its sweet warblings till all the inmates of the house are fast locked in the arms of Morpheus , when it partakes a little of the general repose , but renews its song with the first breaking of ihe universal silence . — Caledonian Mercury .

AUo « ether this consignment was superior to many of late . In form and other particular features they resemble the Spanish breed , but are darker in colour , and easily distinguishable . The attendance of butchers was large , but mora from curiosity than for the . purpose ' of-buying . The mild state of the weather contributes to limit their purchaseswhilst the general supply was larke ,. and

      , far beyond what was requisite to meet the demand . -English bred Beasts were plentiful in supply , and generally of a better . ' description-than for some weeks past . The Beef trade being naturally dull , however , this improvement in the quality failed to benefit tho market . There were more Yorkshire and Herefordshire breeds on sale , with a good sprinkling of prime Scots and Runts . Leicestershire Cattle were not so numerous aa-for . many , weeks lately . . Some fine large Northampton Beasts sold at good prices , us also choice Scots ; but otherwise a decline of 2 d per stone for the best quality must be noticed . Middling and inferior kinds were from 2 d to 4 d lowerand found a heavy sale

      , even at that reduction . Many head were turned out unsold , and will be sufficient to supp ly tha market on Friday next , although any beasts of a better quality than in general will doubtless fiud a ready sale . Thedemand for Mutton was dull , and the supply of Sheep being large , prices also for this description of meat were lower by 2 d . per stcne , Vrime Southdown Wethers sold at 43 . 4 d ., and good Polled Wethers at 3 s . 8 d . to 33 . lOd . Polled Ewea were from 33 . 2 d . to 3 s . * 4 d .- Many Beasts and Sheep remained on hand when the market closed The demand for Veal wa 3 very limited , whilst the number of calves on offer was large . No average reduction , however , in prices can be quoted .

      Borough Hop Mabket , Nov . 28 . —The market has been quiet since the announcement of the duty , with a little business doing . The quotations are a 9 follows—Sussex pockets , 70 s to 78 i ., Weald of Kent 72 s . to 82 = ) ., Mid Kent , 84 s . to 120 d . East Kent . 90 s to 120 , and F ^ rnhams , 112 a . to 130 s . The official duty is even higher than was expected , being £ 162 , 776 , while last ye » r it only amounted to £ 146 , 159 , and in 1840 , to £ 34 , 001 .
