Frightful Ao » dent in a Papei-Mill . —A shocking fatality occurrc d on the 23 rd instant , at t ^ e paper manufactory of Mrs . Mary Cromp ; on , at Colly hurst , Manchester . The sufferers were Eliza Jenkinson , twenty-eight years of age , house-servant

      to Mrs . Crcmpton , 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 Mrs . Ctompton 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 CaleLdar at which Mrs . Crompton was employed , a narrow avenue oniy sufficient for one person to pass , being left between them . Up to this avenue came two cogwheels , and in parsing the cog-wheels the deceased s clothes were raught by the teeth of the Jower wheel . The wheels going at the rate of twelve to fifteen

      revolutions in a minute , the poor creature was instantly 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 procured , the wheels were reversed , and Mrs . Crompton , who was found laid npon 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 bedy presented a most frightful spectacle ; she was lying under the wheel ; all her clothes were torn off ; her body was literally cnt 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 . Tbe 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 was given , but there was no proof of blameable 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 th * deceased , they should have imposed a very heavy deodajid on the machinery .

      Atrocious Modkb . —It is our melancholy duty to record the circumstances of a most atroc ous and cold-blooded murder , which wascommitteien 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 supp-sition that the miscreant who perpetrated the deed is her own husband . At present it would be highly censurable to attribute to dreadful an offence to any individual until there has been a judicial investigation ; but , from what has already transpired , we ars 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 about five o ' clock in the evening , took his wife a ! on ected to find her

      she had gone , and had not since been seen by him . He made inquiries for her at other places where Bhe was accustomed to cal 1 , 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 wcu'd follow her in tbe 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 Ashfon , there to stop for her accouchement . Early on Monday morning Buckley left his lodgings for Ashton , 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 . Information was immediately forwarded to tbe police station , when Mr . Superintendant Storey , with his ufikers , proceeded to the place whero the catastrophe had occurred ; and the body being removed and afterwards identified , pursuit waa 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 motb « r travelling towards Sr . Helen ' s . Mr . Storey took Buckley into Whitechapel , and on reaching St . Helen ' s he was examined , and his shirt sleeves were steeped in blood almost up to the elbows . A knife with two blades was also found in his possession , but no stains of blood could be detected , it would be unwise to give credence to ail th ? tales which are flying about respecting Buckley's guilt ; but a full investigation will be made to-day ( Tuesday ) before the coroner . Suspicion at present is attached to no other person but Buckley ,

      but he _ strenuously denies his guilt , and states 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 the place where tbe 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 hi 3 partner , while it 13 reported that she was a very temperate and pmdent 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 wife having fallen a victim to the direful malice of hfer husband , and that at one fell stroke he hurried his conjugal partner and her first offspring into a premature and untimely grave . —Liverpool Mail . 1

      Fire and Loss of Life in Liverpool . —On Saturday evening last , about eight o ' clock , Mrs . Brown , wife of Mr . Brown , flint-glass dealer , Dalestreet , Liverpool , went down to the basement story of the premises , 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

      A Careful 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 Ia 3 t week . She has not bought a single halfpennyworth of pins during the last forty 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 said she nad bought " nobbut four years sin . "

      Murderous Assault and Robbery . —On Saturday as Mr . Sheffield , of Churchover , batcher , was returning from Ru « by market , with his journeyman and apprentice , in a cart , about eleven p . m ., the man 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 wirh a bludgeon on his knee and face , whilst the other ascended the cart and struck Shtflield 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 into the road ; the horses immediatt-ly turned round and ran away . The

      assistant , being alarmed , jumped out of the cart and was pursued by one of trie assailants some distance , till stopped by his companion crying out to let him go , as he ( the second robber ) "had got the right one . " The apprentice it is supposed , jumped out of 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 Sheffield staggering along the road ; the latter immediately requested Twycross to go to xhe railway station atRutby , and give instructions to the officers to stop any suspicious characters . After doing this Twycross went and obtained tbe 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 piace -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 gloTe ; 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 justify the Court in remanding him , and strong hopes are entertained that both perpetrators of the crime will be brought to justice . It appeared that t-svo or three market vans had passed through two of the gates on the road leading to Churchover

      -within a very Ihort time of the robbery , withoumeeting with aiy molestation , but upon Sheffield ' t cart coming up lo the third gate it was tied ; thers is , therefore , little doubt but the robbery was come mitted by partiep who well knew the hour at which Sheffield returned from market , and also that he was possessed ol a sum of money . On the night in question he had ^ about £ 50 about him , the whole of which was tak » n away . Upon reaching home he was immediately blea , and Mr . Bucknell , of Rugby , surgeon , sent for ; that gentleman , with his assistant , promptly attended , and , after dressing the wounds , re-bled the patient , who was then put to bed . Mr . Bucknell has since been in close attendanoe , aud 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 whem , as soon as the alarm was given ( half-past eleven at night ) , arose , armed and mounted , themselve ? , aud raised a hue and cry in pursuit oi the villains . ,

      Highway Robbery near Manchestkr . —Durins the last forinight or three weeks , stveral highway robberies have been committed and others ' attempted on or near the New Stretford and Stretford Roads , generally attended with violence ; but we have seldom known one so daring , or accompanied with so many proofs of reckless brutality , as the one we are about to record . On the evening of Friday week , the 18 th inst ., between eight and nine o'clock , Mr . Howarth , flour dealer , Shudehill , was proceeding on horseback to his residence near Stretford , when he observed , wl } ile passing St . George ' s Church , Hulme , that several men were - following- him . Suspecting nothing , however , he continued on his wav , through the Cornbrook toll-bar , the men still" following him ; and shortly after he had passed the Northidnberland Arms Inn , while he was riding slowly alongthey made rush at himand of them ofuuK uiniio i at uiui

      , a , one , moj a uau , ttua Quo Of tQPm slized the bridle of the horse , whilst the ojhers attempted to pull him to the ground . He called out "Murder J" and " Stop thief ! " and an old man , named Henry Hairop , a carrier , from Bowdon , hearing his cries , ran up immediately to his a ^ ibtanee . The moment , however , that Harrop v ?« nt up , he was knocked down by one of the robhirs , with a heavy bludgeon ; and while in a state (^ insensibility on the ground , he was robbed of a nurse containing four sovereigns and some silver . The next person who came up was Joseph Gratrix , a waiter at the Northumberland Arms ; and he also was knocked down , the blow rendering hiiu for soino time insensible . By this time a general alarm had been given at the Northumberland Arms ; and a number of people camu out , which caused tho robbers to run off towards the toll 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 ; -b ' ut ' they effected their escape . Information of the robbery was , of course , immediately communicated to the police , and Superintendent Taylor caused every inquiry to be made Hkely to lead to tbo detection of the thieves . About niueo ' ciockon Sunday evening , in consequence of 6 ome intelligence he received , he proceeded , in company with Inspector Lerry , to a beer-house kept by Samuel Nixon , in Lord-street , Hulme , where he found three men of suspicious character , named William Rogerson , Richard Painter , alias Marriott , aud Timothy Tomlinson . He ascertained from the landlord , that Rogerson had gone there about fivo o ' clock tnutevening , and had placed an old-fathioned

      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 to give of the money , he said , " What do you want to know for ! I" shall nor . tell you anything about it . Do your best ; and when you ' re done all you can , then I'll tell you . " Rogerson was then taken into custody ; but the other two nieh . ' were not apprehended at that time . In tho course of w xt 'day , however , further information was received , which caused the police to search for them ; and one ' of tin m was apprehended on Monday , and the other on Thursday morning iast . 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 attend , in consequence of the severe injury he had received , and tho prisoners

      were therefore remanded . Accident and Miraculous Escape ofr Lives . — .. An accident happened on . Wednesday morning last , ' at the premises formerly occupied by tho owner , J . P . Park , Esq ., cotton manufacturer . . Withuollj 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 iii with a crash , burying the whole

      of the workmen employed under the ruins ; but we are happy to say , thai the whole of the people employed escaped with their ' . lives , owing to tho ' very . peculiar and sloping way in which tha roof fell ; otherwise the whole ! of them must , in all probability , have instantaneously perished . As soon as possible , the poor creatures were extricated from their very perilous situation , and convpypd , with all possible haste , to the house of Mr * Westby Walker , surgeon , who promptly and humanely dressed their numerous wounds , and otherwise rendered them that assistance their complicated cases required , several of them having ; received very severe sprains , cuts , and bruises . I : We are glad to learn that they are favourably progressing . —PrestonChronicle .

      Highway Robbery at Newton Heath , near Manchester . —Ou Monday last , at t ! ie New Bailey , the following prisoners were brought up , charged with robbing Dr . J ^ rrold , of Grecnheys : —Robert M'Clemon , John Jackson , John Balfe-, John Thompson , William Croylsden , and Jamss Ward . It appeared , that , on tho afternoon 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 ho wished to accompany him ; shortly after , another came up to him , and began to rifle his pockets . Seeing them intent on robbing him , he assisted them , withdrawing from his pocket his-watch , and all the cash that he had , amounting to between

      nine and ten shillings . While rifling his pockets , one of them struck him with a heavy piece of wood on the bead ; another stood at some distance , with a spade in his haud , apparently looking on , though evidently connected with the party . He ( Dr . Jerrold ) said , that , if . they did not ill use him , ho 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'Cltmon wos placed in front 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 hare 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 using him after he had been sti'iick . 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 ( M'Clemon ) being dressed in a velveteen coat when brought up . Police-oflicer Fletcher Btated , that the prisoner M'Clemon 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 . Mr . Bent , who defended the prisoners , cross-examined Dr . Jerrold , as to his being positive as to she identity of the prisoners . Dr . Jerrold bad not the slightest doubt that all the prisoners were present at the time of the robbery . When the five prisoners were first taken before Sir Thomas Porter , at the

      Saiford Town Hall , on the day after the robbery , Dr . Jerrold said he could not speak positively as to tl . eir being the party ; the reason was , he did not like to be hasty , though he had then little or no doubt aa to their identity . Mi \ Bent argued that such evidence should not be allowed to deprive men of their liberty . No vestige of the stolen property had been found on tho prisoners , except it might be said that tho 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 . Jen old did hot 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 ; and , notwithstanding what had been said , he ( Mr . Maude ) felt it his duty to send the case before a jury at the assizes . They were all committed accordingly for trial at the next assizes .

      Singular and Fatal Accibent . —On Tuesday last , about eight o ' clock , William Boworing , ostler at Hodgkinson ' s Hotel , Matlock Bath , and a man of the name of Cade , were standing on the pavement before . tho house of Mrs . Bown , when a quantity of snow fell from the roof of the house aud brought down the spout from under the eaves , the end of which struck Bowering over the head and fractured his skull in a most dreadful manner . Surgical aid was immediately procured , and tho poor man was put to bed . He lingered in great pain until a little past one o ' clock on the following morning , when death put an end to his suffrings . — . Der ^ sAire Chronicle .

      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 air 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 again 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 nnemployed 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 of revival can see no prospect of improvement ,

      but , on the contrary , a continued throwing out of 1 of hands for some weeks to corner In Paisiey the price of cotton yarn may be quoted at about £ d . per lbL higher since the news in question came to hand ; and in addition , the manufacturers' association have sold soma 7 , 000 or 8 , 000 pieces of their goods , within the last two days , at an advance of from 5 to 7 J per cent , beyond what they could previously have obtained ; but still this advance is too , little to admit of the goods being replaced ; arid the ' price they have been sold at , after paying for material and workmanship , would not leave above half tho necessary allowance for the wear and tear of machinery to work them even by the power-loom . — Glasgow Argus . 1 Fire . —An extensive and destructive fire occurred 1 at Kingswood Hill , near Bristol , on Tuesday evening , when the warehouses and retail Ehop ot Llcssrs ^ Bud ^ etl were totally burnt ,

      The town of Thetford , in Norfolk , has been thrown into a state of uupleasont ferment -durins ; the last few days , in consequence of a solicitor , hitherto considered of the highest respectability , having suddenly absconded , leaving liabilities incurred by him to the amount , it is supposed , at tho lowest , of £ 20 , 000 . He had appointed Friday last formeeting some very heavy mortgage accounts , and for handing over the amount for a farm which he had recently purchased , 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 mortgages , conveyances , and other monetary matters , it is impossible to calculate at present the extent of his defalcations .

      Suspecie » Case of Poisoning —On Sunday evening 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 re guested her to taste it . She tasted a small quantity ; 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 Hunter had taken poison . The poor man continued to get worse , notwithstanding every attention and aid , and expired on Monday evening . His wife ' s previous conduct having been somewhat irregular , it was suspected that she

      had poisoned him , and she was accordingly taken into custody , The police instituted inquiries , aud succeeded , yesterday ( Tuesday ) , in ascertaining , 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 ; ana he also identified the woman 8 unposed to have gone with her , who , however , refuses to admit that she did so . The inquest on the body of the unfortunate victim is to be held this day ( Wednesday ) . 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 ot the children , who had eaten some of the meal of which thi * porridge was made , became sick and ill ; andthat Mrs . Hunter also becamo slightly sick after tasting the porridge , but not until after her husband ' s vomiting had been severe . —Manchester Guardian . — In addition to the above we have received the following from our correspondent . On Tuesday evening Mr . Harrison , surgeon , made & post mortem examination of the body , and found it to be in a state of perfect heaUh , on removing the scalp the brain was healthy . The stomach was in an inflamed state , such as would be produced by taking arsenic . The stomach was quite empty , and all the matter ejected from the stomach , and 'the ' . "remainder of the meal had been made away by the prisoner before she was secured . Au inquest was held on the

      body 011 Wednesday evening at tho Bull's Head Inn , London-road , when the evidence was of such a nature as not to leave a doubt upon tho mind of any but that Hunter came by his death by unfair means . However , at tha request of Mr .. Harrison * who examined the body , the inquest was adjourned until Friday morning , as by that time he would have applied the proper testa to the contents of the stomach and bowels , and be able to say if . he had found any poison in the body . The prisoner was then removed . The deceased had the character of a . kind and affectionate husband . They have been man itd about ten years , a . id during that time .. Hunter has put upwards of £ 70 in the bank . The wife has been much given to drink , and it appears that she had taken nearly everything , out of tho house to pledge . The . 'deue ' atied was "highly , respected amongst his fellow workmen , and is much lamented by his employers .

      Don ' t be too Cautiods . —On Saturday a person from Duiifermhne lost about j 680 , under circum-Btances of a somewhat peculiar character . From motives of extreme caution he bound his drawer ^ tight round his ancle with a piece of tape , with the intention of Dlacinjj his money inside of them , where he conceived there would be no possibility of abstraction . In depositing the money , however , he blunderingly placed it betwixt his trowsors and his drawers ; and while perambulating the city the treasure slipped out , 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 aaent , 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 George M'Lachlan , Borland-park , near Auchtcrader , 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 , and actually put out the eyes of the little songster . In this dark state it was restored to its owner , who , by careful attention , ta ught 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 ringwith its melodious notes . 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 the universal silence .- ^ Caledonian Mercurv . \

Of the former , two were of a particular choice description , and attracted great attention : their value may be quoted at 20 guineas each ; the others were of good quality , and worth about £ 17 each ; whilst others may be given at £ 13 to £ 15 each . Altogether this consignment was superior to many of late . In form aud other particular features they resemble the Spanish breed , but are darker in co'lour , and easily distinguishable . The attendance of butchers was large , but more ifrojn curiosity than for the purpose of buying . The mild state of tho weather contributes to limit their purchases , whilst the general supply was lartje , and

      far beyond what waYrequisite to meet the demaud . English bred B ? a « ts 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 , the market . There were more Yorkshire aud Herefordshire breeds on sale , with a good sprinkling of prime Scots and Runts . Leicestershire Cattle were not so numerous as for many weeks lately ; Some fine large Northampton Beasts sold at good prices , as also choice Scots ; but otherwise a decline of 2 d per stone for the best quality must bo noticed . Middling and inferior kinds were from 2 d to 4 d lower , and found a heavy sale

      even at that reduction . Many head were turned out unsold , ; and will be sufficient to supply the market on Friday next , although any beasts of a better quality than in general will doubtless find a ready sale . The demand for Mutton wa 3 dull , and the supply of Sheep being large , prices also for this description of meat were lower by 2 d . per stone . Trime Southdown Wethers sold at 43 . 4 d ., and good Polled Wethers at 3 s . -3 d . to 3 i . lOd . Polled Ewea were from 3 a . 2 d . to , 33 . 4 d . Many Beasts and Sheep remained on hand when the market closed . . The demand for Ve ? , { wa 3 very limited , whilst tho number of calves 072 offer was large . No average reduction , however , in prices can be quoted .
