Lunoos Corn Exchange, Mondat, January 5....
_Lunoos Corn Exchange , _Mondat , January 5 . — The arrivals of wheat of home produce up to our market dnring the whole of the past week , arising chiefly from the late boisterous weather , were on an unusually limited scale , and of very middling quality . Of English barley , malt , oats , beans , and peas , including flour , tbe receipts were again small . From Ireland very few oats came to hand , but from abroad the imports ot wheat , barley , oats , and flour were seasonably ext _« n 8 ive . Fresh up this day from our own coasts , as well as by land carriage and sample , very little wheat came to hand , hence the stands were extremely bare of samples of that article . The attendance of buyers being tolerably numerous , thc factors were tery firm , and at the opening of the trade , succeeded in obtaining a triilemore for selected qualities of white . That slight advance was not , however , supported , and the market closed somewhat heavily for most descriptions , at about last
Monday's quotations ; still a fair clearance was effected . Thc show of free foreign wheat was Bmall , yet the amount of business actually transacted in it was trifling , at unaltered currences . In corn under lock next to nothing was doing , yet the importers wereRrm , and would not sell except at extreme prices . There was a full average quantity of English barley on the stands ; but by far the largest portion of it was out of condition . Tlie best malting qualities commanded a very steady trade , and must be considered the turn dearer . In ali other hinds very little was doing , at late rates . Superfine malt moved off freely ; other hinds slowly , at late rates . The supply of that article on offer was comparatively small . The supply of oats from all quarters , but moro particularly from Ireland , being small , the trade was steady at an advance in the quotations of 6 d . per qr . Beans and peas seem in full average supply aud heavy inquiry , at previous currencies . Flour was a slow inquiry , but not cheaper .

Lonbon Smiiuvield Cattlb Market , Mosdat , January y . —Since tliis day se ' nnight thc imports of _livo stock into London have boen moderately good , they having amounted to 40 oxen and cots , together with 114 sheep Irom Rotterdam ; while from Schiedam , per the Attweod , we have received 47 oxen , 30 cows , I bull , 300 sheep , and 2 pigs , in , for the most part , fair average condition . To-day we had on sale 10 foreign beasts , and WO sheep . The formir found buyers at from £ 16 to £ 22 , the latter 35 s . to 44 s . per head . At the _outsorts , 70 beasts and 100 shoep have been received from Holland . From our own grazing districts the arrival of beasts fresh up this morning were but moderate , though of fair average quality .
Iheattenilancc of buyers was by no means large , yet the primest Scots , « fcc ., commanded a steady sale at fully last Monday's quotations . Otherwise , however , thc beef trade was somewhat inactive , at about stationary prices . The bullock droves from the northern counties comprised 1 , 000 short horns ; irom the eastern districts , 300 Scots , short horns , Ac . ; Irom the western and midland , 900 _llerciorus , Devons , runts , « fcc . ; from other parts ot England , 400 of various kinds * , aud from Ireland , 120 beast * .

_Livsnpooi , Cob . v Market , _Monday , Ja . v . _£ ,. __« The chief arrivals during the past week are from abroad , whence we have received several large cargoosof flour and Indian corn from the United States , and two or three of beans from Egypt . The supply of grain , meal , and flour from Ireland has materially fallen off , and , taken collectively , 13 the smallest since harvest . The demand for wheat since last Tuesday has been mostly confined to our own locality , and as the stocks in the hands of the millers and dealers are light , they have been purchasers to a moderate extent of both wheat and
flour , at fully late rates . Some quantity of those articles continues to be sent into the Manchester market from the neighbourhood of Birmingham , where prices keep under ours . Though the sale of oats has been limited , the scanty supply of this article and oatmeal has enabled holders to obtain rather hotter prices for both . _Barley , beans , and peas have moved merely in retail quantities , at the currency of last Tuesday . The transactions under bond : have been several sales of United States sweet flour , at 23 s . to 28 s . Gd ., and ono parcel at 29 s . per barrel , and two or three purchases of Indian corn , for Irish account , at 33 s , to 34 s . per 4801 _bs .
Warrinoiox Corn Market , Wednesday . —At the market on Wednesday but little , business was trans _, acted , and that was at about last week ' s prices : say for wheat , 7 s . to 83 . per 701 b . ; malting barley , 4 s . 9 d . to 5 s . per 601 b . ; New Oatmeal , 33 s . to 34 s . ; flour best seconds , 40 s ,, common 38 s . per 2401 b . A large ' quantity of potatoes was offered , but there was a very dull market for them , and several cartloads were driven home unsold . Prices were , for cups , Gs . Gd , to 7 s ., and pinkeyes , 7 s . 8 d . to 8 s . 6 _tl . per 2551 b . Wakefield Corn Market , Friday , Jax . 2 . —We have very small supplies of grain , owing to contrary winds and heavy waters . At our market to-day there was a good attendance of buyers , and a fair business was transacted in aU descriptions of wheat at folly last week ' s prices . Good barley sold freely , and common sorts in fair request without alteration in value . Beans in good demand and but few offering . Oats and shelling each rather dearer . Malt aa before .
Manchester Cork Market , Saturday , Jax . 3 . — Notwithstanding the improvement which has taken place in the value of wheat in London and other influential markets , the demand for flour during the week has been of an inactive character , the dealers and bakera purchasing merely for the supply of their immediate wants , which they were enabled to do without alteration in prices . Both oats and oatmeal have likewise commanded only a moderate degree of alteration , but the previous currency was maintained . At our market this morning the transactions in wheat were on a very limited scale , and no advance in prices could be realised . Flour aho met a slow sale , at the currency of this ; day se ' nnight . There was rather an improved inquiry for oats and oatmeal , and the former article must be noted the turn dearer .
IIull Corn Market , Tuesday . —The return of Sir Robert Peel to office has restored confidence to our market during the past week . The trade , however , has been by no means brisk ; indeed we have had but little business _passiBg . What little quantity of free foreign and old English wheat , however , has been sold was at full prices . Millers' stocks are very low , and holders are firm ; we may , therefore , reasonably look for rather more doing after the turn of the year . At to-day ' s market the supply of both old and new wheat is good , but owing to the farmers asking very high prices , the business passing is but small , at ls . per quarter advance on the prices of last week . In spring corn the business doing is not great , and the supply only moderate . In linseed and rapeseed but little doing , and the arrivals are not large , Linseed cakes continue in good demand . In rape cakes and bones little passing , and for the latter lower prices are taken . Guano dull _.
Birmingham ' . Corn Exchange , Wednesday . ~» Itoring the present week there has not been much life in tke wheat trade , though an advance of ls , to 2 s . per quarter was obtained . Fine malting barley rather dearer ; other descriptions are a very slow sale . Beans nearly maintained last week ' s rates . Oats Gd . per quarter lower . Newcastle Corn Market , Saturday . — -We hadja large supply of country wheat at market to-day , the greater proportion unsound and much out of condition ; fine samples were readily selected at an adranee of ls . to 2 s . per qr . on the rate 3 of this day week , while other descriptions met a quick sale at former prices . More business was done in free
foreign and ship wheats , our millers being all bare of stock . Nothing doing in bonded . Fine malting barley is in better demand , and grinding sorts , which are scarce , sell freely at the quotations . Flour is a dull sale . Oats were to-day in good supply from the farmers , and sold readily at an advance of fully Is , per qr . on the prices of last Saturday . Wakefield Cattle Market , _Wed . _vesdat . —We had a short supply of stock at market this morning of both descriptions .

Attempt , At Murder At Wellow, Nottingha...
ATTEMPT , AT MURDER AT WELLOW , NOTTINGHAMSHIRE . Monday Afternoon . —To-day , at twelve o ' clock at noon , a man of tho name of Woodward , a joiner , residing at VVcItow , in the north of this county , was brought 111 the custody of the police to the county gaol , charged with having . attempted to murder a teniale ot the name of Hind , a widow , with whom ho had been cohabiting . Wellow is a village about ten miles from Worksop , and the same distance from the towns of Newark and Southwell ; and it appears that tor a length of time past the prisoner has been separate from his wife , and has resided with his un . fortunate victim . The horrible deed was evidently a premeditated act , from the circumstance of his
taking with him , on going to bed on Monday night ast _, a knife , winch he placed under his pillow . At hall-past six o ' clock in the morning the man and woman quarrelled , when the wretch took the knife and inflicted upon the poor woman a dreadful wound 111 her throat , wliich extended several inches from right to left . She instantly jumped out of bed , and ranuown stairs screaming " murder , " the blood at the same time flowing profusely from the wound _, lhe wretch ran away half undressed , and without any stockings on his legs . The villagers being alarmed , a surgeon was sent for , who sewed up the wound , aud a pursuit ofthe murderer ensued , but fo ( some time without success . On Friday morning , however , he was discovered crawling from under u _hay-stack _, in his own parish , almost famished , lie was immediately apprehended , and conveyed before 1
tne uev . ) . _ltewkms , a magistrate of the county . 1 lie woman being alive , but without hope of _recovei-v , the man has been committed to the county gaol lot further examination . To elude detection by his foot-Bteps teing traced , it has since been found that thc artful villain had walked backwards into the stackyard , so that thc marks of his feet upon the soft soil did not betray his hiding place . Since his apprehen sion , he has admitted that lie went into VVihW Wood , and lay there a day and a night , with a view of attacking a farmer whom he know to bo in the habit of passing through it , and his intention was to rob and murder him ; the farmer , however , having heard of tlie attempt to murder , nnd knowing that Woodward was a bad character , having fears lest ha should meet him in the wood , actually went a long way round , instead of going through tlie wood , a a thereby no doubt saved himself _iveia a brutal attack , '
