      liEEDS , —CHAiBs op Fobcible Eniby . —On iloaday last , M * , Vim . H ^ rsv , feltsd ci « fti m&iiBfaoturer , appeared before A . Tiiley , and Gnffith . Wright , Esqrs ^ at the Court House , on a warrant obtained against Km by Mr . TorneT , of the late "Irm of Tamer , Ogden , and Co .,- machino makere , Hunsiet ljane . Mr . 2 saylor , solicitor , appeared for the complainant , ill . Turner , on the case being called on , stated that on Saturday morning , Mr . Hirs :, accompanied by fire or six , Tnen , c » ineto Mb premises , in Hunsiet Lane , and broke the locks of two doors , in order to get possession of the premises , to which he had no ri ^ ht whatever . Mr . Wright inquired if there-was an ; 'disputed tenant right , or if Mr . Hirst had any property on the premises , to which Mr . Turner replied in the negative . Mr . Turner , however , admitted to Mr . Hirst , that he < Mr . H . ) was a tenant of one room , but contended that he had no

      business to go the way he did to get to that room . There were two ways of getting into the yard belonging the premises , one through a pair of large gates , used for carts , and the other throngh the timekeeper ' s office , which had a door at each end , one i leading into the yard , and the other into Hunsiet ! Lane . It was for breaking through the office , I where Mr . Hirst had no right to go » that compen-: . sation was songht ; the damage done amounted to ! t « n shillings . In anewer to questions from the bench , j Mr . Turner said the premises had been locked up since the month of October ; when they were open , i and Mr . Hiist wanted to get to his own room , both , roads into tha yard were open to him , he had a ! right to Koth , the road through the office was the ! ordinary way . The bench then said they were of opinion ilr . Turner had failed to make ont his case , i &kd therefore the warrant must be dismissed . It

      was clear that Mr . Hirst had a right to go to his own room where he wanted to go , and it was only right that a way should be made for him . Mr . Turner then made a charge of assault against Richard Marsden , Mr . Hirsts ' s assistant , under cirf nmslances connected with the preceding case , bnt which , after some time was also dismissed . 3 ii £ GAi . LT Tawxisg . —On Tuesday , a yoang woman named ilaria dough , "was brought before G . Wright and Richard Bramley , Esqrs .. on a charge of having pawned a shawl which she had borrowed

      Carriage Hobse Killed . —On Friday evening , a carriage horse , the property of T . P . T « . ale . Esquire , snTgeon , was killed in Park-lane . Mr . Tcale was out visiting patients , and sopped in Park-lane , below Park Cross street . During his professional visit his servant left the horses by themselves , and having been frightened , they started off , when one of ihem ran with great force against the shaft of a rally which was proceeding in an opposite direction . The shaft entered the animal ' s stomach , and killed it on the spot . Bhkach of the Excise Laws . —On Tuesday last , a man named John H ^ wksworth was fine a £ ~ 2 o and costs , or in default of payment committed io Wskf field for six months , for hawking tobacco for sale without a licence .

They went to Wakefield tor a mouth , rather than pay . Leeds AM ) Silbt Railway . —At noon on Monday , a special general meeunj ; ol the shareholders in this company , was held at Scarborough ' s Hotel , to audit the accounts of the half year , to declare a dividend

      and to give power to the directors for the renewal of the mortgagees . John Gott , E- <} ., was called to the chair . The financial statement showed , that up to 31 st of D-cember , there was a sum of £ 5 . 250 , available for the payment of a dividend . The first motion was that a < rividend of £ 2 10 s . per sharr , fur the last half year , be paid on the 18 th of February next . " The income tax to be paid out of the reserved rand . Other routine basiness was transacted , and after a vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting which was only thinly attended , broke up .

      SrDDzs Dkath . —On Monday morning , an inquest was heid at the house of Mr . John Askey . the Tnree Horse Shoes , Headingley , before John Blackburn , E ; q to enquire touching tne death of Richard Abbty . The deceased wa 3 a shoemaker , fifty-two years of age , and bad not been very well fox the last week , but no medical man had a-tended him . He commenced bis , work , as usual , on Savnrday morning , about niae o'clock , bnt bad not sut lotg before he complained of a pam at his heart , and wtnt to lie down in bed . Mr . Probisher , surgeon , was then sent for , but before his arrival the man had died . Verdict— "Died by the visitation of God . " Stjddes Deabh . —We regret to state , that on Tuesday morning , Mr . Wm . Raistrick , livery stablekeeper and hackney-coach proprietor , in

      Trinitvi-rriet , was sn < ieeiJy stizsd w . th apoplexy , or with an affection of the heart , in J he yard of the North Midland railway station , where he instantly died He had been to the station with a gentleman ( Mr . E . Baines , jnn . ) wi . o was proceeding to Manchester to attend the Anti-Corn Law Demonstration , and after turning his coach round to return home , it is supposed that he fell down and expired , as he was short'y after found near the side of bis fcor- e . Mr . Raistnck was about 46 years of age , and was highly respected . An iequest was held by Mr . Blackburn , on Tuesday evening , snd a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God" returned .

      Fxm Zv £ jri . —On Tuesday morning , an icquest was held at the house of Mr . Taylor , the Sun Inn , Hunsiet , before John Blackburn , E-q ., on the body of John-Kolroyd , 53 years of age , who went to the Sun Inn onSainrday ^ veningintoxicated ; he went upstairs and stayed Jthtre some lime , taking a share with others of three pints of aJe . On going away , he asked another of the company , to assist him down stairs , and he tdok bold of him for that purpose . Tae deceased however , lost bis footing , and fell down three or four steps , after which he appeared quite insensible , and remained in a state of stupor lor some time , and ultimately , died without being able to speak . Medical assistance was called in , but it was of no avail ; the opinion of the surgeon was , that he had died from a rupture of the vessels of the head , caused by falling down stairsj and the JHiy returned a verdict to that effect . A "GREENACRE" MURDER IN LEEDS . On Snnday last , great excitement was created

      throughout a great portion of this town , by a repot that the ' trunk of a human body tad been ttken out of the i "water near Xnostrop ; nor was that excitement at all j allayed on "the truth of the report beku confirmed , ' carrying with it , as it < iid , strong presumption that a njnrder , equalling in atrocity those of Greeoacre and Good had bt * n committed , and that mutilation , similar ; to be Vhe most proper » piace ; and he hoped the Jury to what took place in these cases , had been resorted to , - would th ! nk tbat he bad ucne right , to prevent theJdentity of the victim . j The Jury unanimously concurred in the propriety of In dttaulng the circumstances of this awful tragedy , j the course taken . so far ts they have yet fceen developed , we sb&il .

      ( Bates ) who was near at hand . Bates , on hearini ? of the circumstance , accompanied Austin to the place , and he removed the bsdy to the bonse i » f Mr . Lcc ^ - thoro , the R"bin Hood len , Low Foid , Bank . TH 3 news of the finning of the body , and of its being laid at the Robin Hood , flew like wild-fire , and throughout the afternoon and evening the bouse was regular iy besieged . The body we believe , was laid in a stable , at the rear of the premises , and if we are not misinformed two pigs were kept in the same place . Hera Mr . Price , the surgeon , first saw the body , and to usu his own langn&ge , be could not toil what , it was ; be thought it was a piece of burnt wood . He soon ,

      however , was satisfied of the truth of the horrible discovery . Information of the finding of the body was . eonveyfcci also to Mi . Blackburn , tho Coroner for the borough , and facts were slated to him which led him to consider hat the place to which it had been removed was not one of sufficient security—there being nothing to prevent any party from carrying it off , supposing they were implicated in the murder , and wished to obliterate all traces of guilt ; be therefore , in the evening . ? ave orders for the removal of the body to the Medical School , not only as a place of perfect safety , but in order that the opinions of the professional gentlemen of the town might be more readily obtained . Mr . Blackburn mentioned this circumstance at the inquest which was subsequently held , and the Jury unanimously concurred in the propriety of the course which the worthy Corener had adopted .

      The body found is evidently that of a female , and iu the opinion of the surgeon ( Wm . Price , Etq . ) a young female , probably from twenty to twenty-five years of age . The fact of iis being a female is proved by the breists , which have been large , end which are , in a great measure , preserved ; were it not for this , any identity would be utterly out of the question—thwe is nothing bnt the trunk left , and t = vea that has been horribly mutilated , and even considerably burnt . The bead has been severed between t * e fourth and fifth verttbise . and apparently with some d faculty . The right arm has been removed at the shuuiaer joint , the articulation of which has evidently been at once got into , but in tnkiDg offthe left arm , a greater difficulty seeais to have presented itself , and it has b&en done by a saw ; the lower

      extremities have been remold at the fourth lumber verteb ? se , the bones of ^ thei pelvis , together with f ' abdominal viscera , beicg dius comr ^ -Viv * - * » Of course it ia , nnder iF- n ^ t \ . rf 5 orf , , - ..,. *_ \ . - •* & elrcUmstauces , ntxt to an impossibility to ^^ fcbe ^ ' defltb > ., i the course ^ examination , Mr . Pr : ce found that three "frbuiidB had been inflicted on the thorax , one on the right , and two on the left side . Six of the ribs had also been fractured on one side , and two on the other , corresponding with the wounds in the thorax , and these . Mr . Price supposes , may have beeo done by some blunt heavy instrument , as a fire poker , and he judges it not improbable that the body may

      have been placed or knocked on the fire after these wounds hare been inflicted ; but in the absence of the head , which doubtless would come in for a large share of violence , it being impossible to suppose that where so much mischief bad been inflicted it wonld escape , he could not say whether these injuries to the thorax and the ribs had actually caused death , though there was a probability that they would have beon sufficient to do bo . The lungs and heart remain , and are uninjured ; the liver has been partly consumed , but what remains is healthful ; tfcs vessels of the trunk are entirely emptied of blood , which ¦ warrants the supposition that dismemberment had taken place immediately after death .

      Of the time at which ' the body may have been thrown into the tvater , it is utterly impossible to t-pcak vrith any thing like certainty ; Mr . Price cannot form any distinct idea . Judging from al ! the circumstances , however , the state of the body when found , and the place where it was found , we are strongly inclined to the opinion tbat it had not been thrown in longer than during the n : eht of Friday last . We believe , and we are borne ont in this by several competent persons , that the body wonld not sink at ali—that it would remain on the surface of the water from the moment it was thrown in to the time ii waa taken ont > Hence , bad it been in longer than the time we have mentioned it must bave been seen . It Was , we know , seen by a person on tbe Saturdcy , within a -eery few yards uf the place where it

      was found on Sunday ; it was remarked , but not disturbed , the person wbo saw it , a female , believing it to be a piece of oflil meat which had been thrown overboard from some VesseL Neither , frwm tbe stillness of the water in ths cut , wcuM it float fur from the place Id which it was orisir . a'ly dr «> i > p-d . We bavo beard it surmised tbat the murder : nuy bave been committed on board some vessel , and tiiat tbe extremities may have been similarly dup <<* ed of in different piaces . Be it as it may , however , whether committed on the ' and or on the water , there is do trace hitherto discovered ¦ which seems at all likply to lead a clue to the discovery of the brutai party by whom tbe hfart-rending deed bas bt = en eoznmitud , the sickening details of which we have endeavoured to furnish .

      The Magistrates we . e waited on by Mr . Blackburn on Monday morning , and by thtm a reward for tho discovery of the perpetrator * has been offertd . The beads of the police also received orders to use every vigilance to unravel the mystery in which the niattt-r is placed .

      THE INQUEST . On Monday ev < nine , at seven o ' clock , an inquest was opened at the C > nrl Honse , before John Blackburn , E ? q ., and a respectable jury , consisting of twenty persons , to icquire intu tho circumstances of the mysterious case . The Jury were sworn "to inquire how anil by wbat means a female nnkncTi had come to her deatu . " Rilpb Markland , E > -q ., one of the borough justic-ts , was present < lurinf ? the inquiry . Tne Jury having been sworn , The Coroner said , that in tiiis case they were called upon to view the Bad eptctade of the body of a female stripped of the head , arms , and legs . He was afraid that they wonld bs ab'te to adduce very lutle evideDce at present , and that it would therefore be

      necessary that an adjournment of tbe inquiry should take place in order tbat further evidence niight be obtained . The great question to be lietermi . ied , would of c » urse be tbe cause of death , and bow tbat must be de'ermintd wooM mainly depead upon tbe evidence of the medical gentleman who ¦ would be colled before them , who wonld bave to say whether the violence which had bttn offered Xo the unfortunate female was offered before or after death At present , from tbe examination which Mr . Price , fead made , he understood that tbat gentleman could not jet come to anj satisfactory conclusion on the snr jeet , und thertfore it was desirable that their itquiry shonld be adjourned to a future day . The only evidence tbat could at present be adduced was that of the person who found tbe bedy , and the evidence of Mr . Price , who would give them all tbat had requited from bis hitherto incomplete investiKati

      death of the woman , they might , during the night , have got into the stable , and taken the body away . He had it removed , therefore , for tie sake of greattr security , and to give greater facilities for its examination fay medical gentUmen . He removed it to the Medical School , because it was a public institution , and seemed He ( the Coroner ) had communicated with the Magistrates this day , an-1 he believed they would take sueh measures as the case required , and the Jury would have evidence as to who tne feuiate was , and the eause of her death , if such tviiieoce could be brought forward . Some persons had bUmtd him for having the body removed to the Medical School . The body was first taken to the Robin Hood Inn , Low Fold , B » nk , a very insecure place , and : t was there placed in a stable , in which he understood some pigs were also kept . Supposing tne body bad been allowed to lesiain in the stable , if any jersons were implicated in the death of the woman , they might , during the night , have got into the stable , and taken the body away . He had it removed , therefore , for tie sake of greattr security , and to give greater facilities for its examination fay medical gentWmen . He removed it to the Medical School , because it was a Dublic institution , and seemed

      Joseph Austin , dyer . Brown ' s Buildings , Richmond Road—Yesterday morning , about eleven o ' clock , 1 and another young man , name-. t William D-ilo , were walking on the side of the Knostrop cut ; and I saw something in the water tbat attracted my Attention . It was near the place they load boats with coalB at F <; nton s Wharf . Tbe object I saw was floating at the head of » coal boat , and ttii-re was a dead dog near it . I aaid to Dj ' . e that it "looked curious ; and he replied that he thougbr it was a piece of njeat . I procured a boat hook , and got tbe thin ? ont of the water , and it -was

      afterwards removed to the Robin Hood public-house ; it wm part of a human body . As soon as we got it out , two little boys c * me up . and vre s > -nt them to tbe u-. aresi house , to teil what na i happened , and three men camtfrom the house ; one of these men , when he saw what we had got out of the water , said it was part of a human berty , and ire had better bury it . H « went for a shovel to bury it with , but came back without one , and saiii we had better de nothing with it till some inqairy took place . I don't know who the man was who said these words ; but 1 should know him again .

      Thomas Bates , sergeant in the Leeds police force—Yesterday I met the last witness , and a young man named Dale , and one of our policemen ; and in consequence of what they said , I went to the side of the cut at Knostrop , and there saw the remains of a body which 1 removed to the Robin Heod pnblic housa William Price , surgeon—I have examined the body spoken of by the two witnesses . I first saw it in a stable at the Robin Hood publie-honse , lying upon a box . At first sight I thought it was a piece of burnt wood ; I had no idea it was a human being . 1 looked at it more closely , and I thought it was tbe remains of some animal which had been thrown into the canal ; bat on taming it over , I found it to be the remains oi a human being—most likely a female . The head , rrhicb was absent , had been removed about two incbes from the trunk . There were no extremities ; the legs had been taken off by the pelvis , or hip bones . The arms were also absent The remains were afterwards removed , for better examination and security , to tbe Medical Sahool , -where I examined them vety carefully . I found they were much charred from fire . There were three openings in the chest—one on the light side ana two on tne jeit , wnere tne corresponding ribs were fractured . The bowels and a part of tha liver were protending ; they were much corrogated and hardened from the effects of fire . The lungfl were healthy with very tnflbg exception , and also the heart The back had been subject to less injury ; the fckin was dirty , and Bj ^ owed the effects of fire , or rather smoke upon it .

      There were two lacerations upon the back , but they were only skin deep . From the breasts , anrt the lightness and texture of the bones . I should say it is the body of a feraale . Tne right arm had been disarticulated at the shoulder joint , The left arm had betn removed with 8 ;> me dim-salty , and by mnans of a saw ; not knowing the articulation , part of the scajmla or blade-bone had been removed in taking off the left-arm ; but the right-arm had been well removed . I should say thoy were cot removed by a person accustomed to dissection . Tee lower extremities had betn removed

      at tbe joins . From the H < ntil&t 6 < t state of the bo-. iy , it wonld be difficult to say precisely how long it had been in the wator ; it might have been in several days . There was nothing particular about the body to cause it to fl jat when first put into the water—tiiat is to say , suffie ' ent decomposition had not taken place to cauas it to float . The partial decomposition which had taken place from the action of fi . e might have that effect It is difficult to form au opinion a < sto , tue length of time which has elapsed since the dfaath to the present : tho coldness of tb € water and the weather mieht have some effect in

      retarding decomposition . I don t think the appearance would have been much altered if the body had been dead ten or fourteen days . The burning I should think took place after death , but I oannot apeak pos'tively as to ¦ whether the violence was offered before or after death . The blood vessels were empty and the heart bloodless , but the absence of blood wisht hava been caused by cutting off the extremities af car death . In destroying a person ' s life , it is very likely the head would be first attacked ; and the absence of the head makes it very difficult to speak as to the exact cauae of death . The fir .-t impression on uiy mind on viewing the bo 3 y , was that the is jury done to the chest was inflicted during

      life—that the openings iu tha chest and the injury to the riri 8 had resulted from violence an < l an attempt to destroj life . Tae chest , being struck with some heavy instrument wouJd fracture the ribs , aa < i a continuation of that sort of violeuce wouid produce the openings in the chest , the ribs being first ao much injured as to afford no resistance . There has , h »« ev « r . * - instrument passed into ihe body , aa tho . - « f . ° we e uuiDJured .

      By a Juryman—A sharp instrument must have been usad in separating the extremities and the head . If the cuts had been done by a , medical student , I should say they bad been very " lubberly" done . By the Coroner—To the best of ruy opinion at present , I th nk she has come to her death by violonco . B ? a Juiywau— I cannot say whether or not she was pregnant , ail the parts boiug romoved . By the Coroner—I csnr . » t tell what ms the colour of her hair ; there was no h ; ilr on any part of the hody . Thrt Coroner then consulted tho jury as to the propriety of Air . Price making , a more minute examination of the remains , and calling into his aid another medical geutlanian .

      Ssvpral of the jury signified thetr acquiescence in the adoption of such a course ; and wishing that opportunity might be afforded for the production of what other evidence it might be pofRible to get , bearing on the mysterious circumstances in which the case is involved , an adjournment of ti e inquest to Monday next , at six o ' clock in the evening , w « s agreed to .

      SHEFFIELD . The Bank Failure-. — A meeting of thr- civtiitors of Parker ' s and Sruwv bank was heid oa Wi-ducsuay January 25 ih , to he ; tr a statement of the com [ any ' 3 affairs . Tho proceedings were rather ktuimf-H cjme out in the rour ^ e of the disou ^ hn that the potrioiiinn creditor made his affidavit on Friday the 13 th of January , aud tbat conbtquemly the concern was really bankrupt from that date , yet this was kept quiet and business transacted as ijBual ths n . x ' . day ; of course those who on tho Saturday paid m-uiies into the bank are not a little iiiuignaut at this sort of work . Tae Sfo . fluid papers that at the outset professed to be so sanguine of the par ners being able to meet in full all demands upon them , are now chop-fallen at the issue . The general opinion is thai something short of six shillings in the pound will probably be the dividend .

      Representation op Sheffield . —The " Sucking Pig '' Association of Sheffi . id assuming that Mr . Parker must resign his seat in consequence of his acceptance of the office of " . Steward to the Court oi Requests , have published a resolution recommending Colonel Thompson to tlie electors as ; i fii person to rtpresent Sheffield . The Iris gruoious ' y announces that the " Napoleon of free trade" (! ! J ) is the man of us choice , and it fully expects will also be the choice of the people . The / ndepenrferit on tho other hand is mum as to , the transcendent virtues of Nap the second—we beg pardon , Nap the third , — Louis Philip , as the t % Napoleon of Peace , " must take precedence of the erratic Colonel . It is very evident from the Independent that our "

      well-informed , pains-takintr , consistent , steady , pou d , and progressive member" rn-ans to stick to his seat as lot : g as he can . True it ia acknowledged that the bai . k failure "has most seriously affected his prospe :: ts in life . " But it is hoped that for tho " sain of the town , " Mr Parker will continue to represent . Sheffield in Parliament : tho idea that because Mr . P . ha 3 accepted the office of Steward to the Court of Requests , he f-hould , therefore , resign , ifi Bcou ' . ed ly tne Independent , who argues that the duties of the office may be well divided between the steward aud his deputy , so as not to interfere with Mr . Parker ' s Parliamentary fiu'ies . Tho fact is , that in tho present tickh .-h state of things , whan almost universal insolvency is the order ot the day , the

      U bigd have no inolinatioa to *• fork out" the needful tor election cxpi'nces . Morever , " M « ip tho Third , " is not exactly the man for the Sh < ffild Whigs ; they have no objection to make a tool of the whimsical Old Colonel ; but for an M . P . he's a / ectle" too " liberal' for the shopooracy of the " city of soot . " ileuce the anxiety of the Indeprndc 7 it that the '" loss of Mr . Hugh Parker ' s services" should not be " aggravated" by the retirement of his soa . Still we warn our Chartist friends that the retirement of our present MP . is more than probable . Should it turnout so , " we" , think " we" know a man capable of vindicating t ' . erjght 8 of the people much more effioienUy than the ' Napoleon of Free Trade , " who may be forthcoming ou the day of nonj'natioTi .

      Mr . H . 6 . Ward , onr bouncing , boatswain-likn legislative champion of Free-trade , and the Ballot , has , for the suoond time , shirked his " annual account of his stewardship . " It is but ju-tieo to the honourable member to state the assigned causes for tha nonfuili ' rrh nt of his pledge . It appears , according to the Independent , that it was Mr . Ward ' s intention to have devoted Monday , January 30 th , to visiting his consjitueiits , but this has been set aside " ra consequence of the severe indisposition of the lady and tkc eldest daughter of the Hon . Member . " Far bo it from us to rejoice in the afflictions of the Hon .

      Mtmbi-r , or to question the truth 0 / the above statement , but we cannot avoid « xpres ? ina ; our opinion that had Mr . Ward wished to meet his constituents , he would bave lound the opportunity ; " where there ' s a will there's a wny ; " but we gn <» s ^ tho . " pr . ca'iar state of the town" hag had not a liit ' e to do with keeping Mr Ward away from Sheffield . Tho Hen . Gentleman has answered the query of hia " freebooting" friends as to whether he would vote for " total repeal . " It would have been a qucstiou rather more unpalatable as to whether h « would vote for the Char < -r ! Besides , poor Holberry is not yet , hor tvt-r shall be , forgotten .
