LEEDS . —Chabgb op Fobciblb Entry . —On Monday last , Mr . Wm . Hiret , felted cloth mannfacinrer , appeared bsfors A . Titley , and Griffith Wright , Esqrij at the Court Houbb , on a warrajit obtained gainst him bj Mr . Turner , of she late firm of Tnrner , Ogden , and Co ^ machine makers , Hunslet isnie . Mr . Naylor , solicitor , appeared for the complaiDaut . Mr . Tamer , on the case being called on , stated thai on Saturday morning , Mr . Hirst , accompanied by five or sixjmen . cMQeto his premises , in Hunslet Lane , and broke the locks of two doors , in order to get possession of the premises , to which he had no right whatever . Mr . Wright inquired if there was any disputed tenant right , or if Mr . Hirst
had any property on the premises , to which Mr . Tnrner replied in the negative . Mr . Turner , however , admitted to Mr . Hirst , that he ( Mr . H . ) was a tenant of one room , bnt 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 , nsed for carts ,. and the other through the timekeeper's office , which had a door at each end , one leading into the yard , and the other into Hunslet Lane . It was for breaking throngh the ofnee , where Mr . Hirst had no right to go , that compensation was sought ; the damage done amounted to ten shillings . In answer to questions from the bench ,
Mr . Turner said the prennsfs had been locked np since the month of Ortober ; when they were open , -and-Mr . Hirst wanted to get to his own room , both roads into tha yard were open to him , he had a right to both , the road through the office was the or-dinary way . . The bench then said they were of opinion Mr . Turner had failed to make ont his case , and therefore the warrant must be dismissed . It was clear that ilr . 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 . Tnrner then made a charge of assault against Richard Mareden , Mr . Hir » ts ' s assistant , under circumstances connected with the preceding case , but which , after some time was also dismissed .

Bchooner Emily , of Swansea , Nicholson , mastoT , fell in with a large brig off Arklow Banks , appearing to have been abandoned , which on boarding her was found to be the case . She proved to be the Caroline of Newcastle , 309 tons burthen , bound from Liveroool to the Cape of Good Hope , with a general cargo . Three of the Emilys crew navigated her into thia harbour , where she arrived sate , in company with the schooner , about eleven , p . m . of the same day .

Loss of the Jane , of Plymouth . —Am | ong the casualties of the late storm is to be reoordedjthe loss of the schooner Jane , John S'eveusina * ter , jbelonging to the port of Plymouth . This vessel was moderately laden with a cargo of manganese , and bound from Plymouth to Glasgow . Shs put into Milfordhaven on the fifth of January , and , like many others , her master being tempted by the appearance of the weather just previous to the storm , pursued His passage on the morning of Thursday , the 12 th . From that
day to the present timo it had pleased an overruling Providence to wHhold all intelligence of | the illfated schooner ; the probability is , that she foundered with all her crew at sea . The Jane was ininetynine tons register , white streak with black ports , and had a woman figurehead . She was commanded by the eldest Bon of her owner , Mr . Thomas Stevens , coal-merchant , the grief of whose family is naturally increased by the uncertainty of the fate of their relative , who was esteemed for his ability as a mariner and beloved for his inoffensiveness as a man .
The United States and China . —President Tyler sent , on the 3 tnhDeo . a communication to the House of Representatives , recommending negotiations to be entered i / uo with the Chinese Goverament , to secure ior the commerce of the United States the samo advantages as will be enjoyed by Great Britain , hj the ceding of the four ports and the possession of Hong Kong . In his message the President ! 8 tates that the importations trom China into the United Slates in past years have amounted to 1 , 000 , 000 dollars per annum ; and that in the year 1841 , jto the direct trade between the two countries , the value of the exports from the United States amounted to 715 , 000 in domestic produce , and 485 , 000 doUara in foreign merchandise .

Deficient Wei g hts . —At the Borough Court , Bolton , on Monday , Mr . Hesketh and Mr . Stones , both tradesmen in Bank-street , appeared to answer summonses obtained against them by Mr . Fogg , inspector of weights , &o . ; the first named person for using defioient weigtus , and Mr . Stones for having interrupted the inspector whilst in the execution of his duty . On the 17 th instant , Mr . Fogg went to Mr . Hesketh ' a shop to try his weights , several of which he found to be deficient . He was about to submit those which he deemed to be short to a second test , when Mr . Stones , who is a relative of Mr . Hesketb , came into the shop , and took the weights away , Mr . John Gaskell , solicitor , appeared for the tjvo defendants , and , in answer to a question from him , Mr . Fogg said , that , in his opinion , Weights might , in the course of twelve months , from common wear , lose as much as Mr . Hesketh ' s were
deficient . —Mr . Gaskell contended that the ! case against Mr- Stones could not be sustained ; arid , as to the weights being short , there could not the slightest doubt exist this had arisen from their toeing worn , and that there was no intention to defraud . It had never been intended by tke legislature that every person hiving light weights should be . convicced ; a discretionary power was left to the inspector , so that he mighv discriminate between leases where fraud was intended , and where it was not . Mr . Fog ^ himself , if asked , would , no doubt , say he did not think there had been any intent to defraud ; and it would bo a hard case for Mr . Hesketh to be subjected to the degradation of a conviction .-f The magistrates , after a consultation , said , they thought the case against Mr . Hesketh was proved , and ] that it had been aggravated by the weights being taken away ; they should inflict a penalty of 20 s . jwith costs . The case against Mr . Stones was dismissed .
Dreadful Fire at Manchester . —Between ! the hours of nino and ten o ' clock on the night of Saturday last , a dreadful fire broka out at Manchester , which has destroyed vproperty to the extent of between jEli . OOO and £ 20 , 000 . The flame 3 were { first discovered iu the warehouse of Messrs . Gladstone and Clayton , No . 10 , Norfolk-street , cotton-manu faciurere . The moment superintendent Sawley had been made acquainted with the calamitous occurrence , he sent to inform Mr . Rose , superintendent of the fire-department , and proceeded to the spot ¦ yvith two sections of the day-duty-men . On arriving there , he found that the flames were bursting out through a side window on the ground-floor in Sussex-street . Mr . Rose , with a number of firemen and engines ,
arrived in a short time after , and on getting a proper supply of water , commenced playing oa the building . The fire continued , however , to increase , and spread to the upper story of the next cottonwarehouse , occupied by Mr . J . C . Eckhard , No , 11 , Norfolk-street , which was entirely destroyed . Thenoe it caught the upper part of the warehouse of Mr . Andrew Hall , gingham-maEufacturer , No . 12 , Brown-street , which was also destroyed . The rooms underneath were much damaged by Uhe quantity of water thrown on the fire . The engines succeeded in getting the flames under about two o ' clock on Sunday morning , but they continued to play without intermission until soven o'clock a . m ., when all apprehension for tho safety of the ac
joining premises subsided . How the fire originated has not been ascertained , although , as usual , several ; rumours on the subject are current . The whole ofithe bnildiugs are the property of Mr . John Hall , of Pendleton . Messrs . Gladstone and Clayton were insured in the Phoenix and Liverpool offices , and Mr . Eckhard in the Sun oifieo . During the day , ithe scene o : the coiifi&gration , which is in the hearjt of the town , was visited by thousands of the inhabitants . The fire did not spread any further . The military , who were present at at early bour , h ft about eleven a . m . on Sunday ; and one engine only was left to play on the ruins . Tr . a adjoining streets were filled with goods which had been rescued from the flames . Several of the articles in question were much charred and burnt .

Anxious to overtake her , and show his gallantry , the soldier followed at a quick pace , and having walked a considerable distance , began to feel some surprise as well as disappointment . At length he met two Gendarmes coming in the opposite direction and asked if they had seen his companion of the day before . On receiving an answer in . the negative , his suspicions became awakened . Communicating these to the Gendarmes , they desired he would return W I * JJW ^* Wl « wW » mm » v **^ w— — ^ .-- - — — .

London Corn Exchange , Monday , Jan . 30 . —• Last week the arrivals of Wbeit from our own coasts , were on the whole , good , but mostly of inferior quality , arisiug from the dampness of the atmosphere . Fresh up this morning , coastwise and by land carriage , and samples , the receipts were comparatively small , particularly from Essex and Kent . The sample ? being sonnwbafc out of condition , the very finest descriptions sold at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last ; but , to effect transactions in other kinds , an abatement of fully Is per qr . was submitted to by the factors , and several
jarcels remained un old at the close of business-Foreign Wheat , owing to many of the holders demanding full quotations , was again very heavy , yet we can notice no alteration in its value . Superior malting Barley was taken at late rates , but grinding and distilling sorts might have been purchased on easier terms . In Malt a limited amount of business was passing , and the prices of that article remained about stationary . The Oat trade was again heavy , yet , as the supply was small , last week ' s figures were maintained . Beans and Peas moved off slowly . Both town made and country made flour were dull , and the latter was a shade easier in price .
London Smithfield Market . Monday , Jan . 30 . —For many years past we have not had occasion toreport such long-existing heaviness in this market as duriag the present season ; indeed , so far from any improvement being looked forward to , the presumption is that prices have not yet seen their lowest point . A queslion here naturally arises as to the existing cause of such an almost unprecedented state of things , to which we sfcall attempt to reply . If reference be made to the arrivals of slaughtered meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall markets , not only from Scotland , but various other quarters , it will ba found that , for several weeks , they have averaged about . 4 , 000 carcases . These immense supplies , having , in consequence of their chiefly coming to
hand somewhat out of condition , from the prevailing warm weather , met a heavy inquiry at extremely low figures , those who generally operate largely here as " carcasera" have purchased to a very limited extent ; hence has arisen . this so much complained of duluess , coupled with the prevailing low rates of the currency . It may perhaps be imagined that the shippers of dead meat have operated advantageously to their pecuniary interests ; but such , we beg to observe , is not the case , we having known some thousands of carcasses of really good Mutton to have produced no more than 2 s 4 d per 81 bs . It is evident that the public only are receiving a benefit ; from such transactions . Dullness , excessive dullness , was again the leading feature here to-day . From the whole of
our grazing counties , the receipts of beasts were limited , and , comparatively speaking , of very inferior quality , especially as regards the short horns from Lincolnshire . As relates to the foreign supplies , we have to intimate that not a single head ba ^ been imported , either in London , or at the out-port j , during the past week ; while wo had only two Spanish on offer this morning , and which were tarned out a fortnight since . Tne attendance of both London and country buyers was extremely scanty , which caused the Beef trade to be excessively heavy , and the prices declinfid , from those noted on this day se'nnight , fully 2 d per Bibs , it being with the greatest difficulty that 4 i 2 d per 81 bs could be obtained for the very primest lots . Scarcely any store beasts ware brought forward . Notwithstanding tho numbers of sheep were somewhat less than on Monday lasf ,, they were more than adequate to meet the wants of the butchers .
and the currencies suffered a further abatement of 2 d per 8 Ibs . As a general figure , 4 s per 8 ! bs may be considered the top prioe , though in a few instances , po me superior Old Downs were disposed of at 4 s 2 d . We had about 70 shorn Kents in the pens , which went off at about 3 s 4 d per 81 bs . In Lambs , next to nothing was doing , ] there being only about 40 on sale . Calves moved off "lowly , and their rates were drooping . Prime small Porkers maintained their value , but large Hogs were purchased on easier terms , with about 70 by sea from Ireland . We received from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , about 900 horned and polled Scots ; from our Northern counties , 700 short horns and runts ; from , the Western and Midland Districts , 250 short horns runts , Devons , Herefords , and Irish beasta ; from other parts of England , 200 of various breeds ; and from Scotland , by a steamer ; 90 Scots mostly polled .
Potatoe MARKETs . —The receipts of Potatoes during the past week from Scotland , and various other quarters , have amounted to full average supplies . Good parcels , however , are selling firmly at late currencies ; but other qualities command little attention .

Tallow . —The holders of Tallow ^ generally are still anxious sellers on the spot , and , in consequence of the delivery last week not realizing the expectations of many the price this morning is depressed , and no doubt parcels of 50 or 160 casks might be had at the lowest quotation . The pries for the Autum n ( 44 s 6 d to 45 s ) is qiite nominal . Town Tallow is 47 s to 47 s 6 ii net cash . Wool Markets . —We have had a very limited amount of business doing in Wools of late , without any public sales being announced .

Barnsley . —The state of Trade , here , gets worse every day , and with it the sufferings of the people . Richmond Corn Market , Saturda y , Jan . 28 th . —We had a plentiful supply of Grain in our market to-day , but the sale , as stated last week , still continues dull .

With a fair amount of business doing , the market can hardly be said to be more flat . As to prioes they are in favour of the bnyer , though perhaps not id since Friday . Liverpool Coen Market . Monday , Jan . 30 . — During the last seven days we have had moderate arrivals of Wheat , Flour and Oatmeal from Irelaad , and of Malt coastwise ; the imports of Grain , &o . axe otherwise of small amount , ThrougboaS . the
week the trade has ruled doll ; on Tuesday a decline of Id to 2 d per bushel on those of new Wheat , was submitted to , with little effect as to sales : the business in that grain has since been of a most limited character , but , nominally , we make , no further change in our quotations . The dealers haTe purchased Flour for their immediate wants only , at ij 7 s to 28 s per brl . for United States and Canadian ; 383 io 40 a per sack for Irish .

A a GREEN ACRE" MURDER IN LEEDS . On Sunday last , great excitement was created throuEb- , out a great "poition of this town , bv a repoit rhat tho trunk of a human bory bad been U . ken out of the < water near Eaostrop ; nor Traa tfcat exeitement at all allayed on tbe trntb of the report beins confirmed , I carrying -frith it , " as it did , strong presumption that a nsnrder , equalling in atrocity those of < Jre * nacr <; and G-ood had been committed , auc that mutilation , s ' jniiJdr to -whit took place in these cases , had been resorted to to prevent the identity of tbe victim . i In detailing the circoaistances ol this av / n ] tragedy , bo far as they have yet >^ en developed , we shall 1 endeavour to describe , as clearly as -we can , the , fciatt locality of tbe pisce -where the body
¦ was found , and ail tbe attendant circumstances , : "with the opinion of the professional gentlenian who has examined tfce remains , bo as to give cut readers an exact idea of tbe whole affair , which is jet wrapped in much mystery , and which it is greatly to be feared will tar ever remain so ; for this casa , while if presents s parallel with those of the two metropolitan ii-ur- ' ereis ¦ whose ramps we have mentioned in tbe nmtils . tioD of ' the rsiasinB , famishes not tbt slightest due to idtntity , eo far as discoveries have jtt btt-n irarte either by the 1 finding of cSothes ot of the head or txtrtniines of the -party , whoever it may hava been . j The DSviE&tion ti the river Aire , ocrreadr-rs -vtII be aware , 1 b impeded by locks , but in Borne measure to ' avoid fJ-fficuities , some ytars ago , a cutting was made ; from Knostrop fields to Thwsite Gate , at which place tbe Jiver forms tn ancl 9 , cad is inttrceoied by two or three dams or wtirs . This cutting which is called '
BroGks ' a cut , or Kaostrop cm , is about half a mile long , or rather better , and is entered from the Leeds end by - flood-rates , whirh are only nee-assarv when there is a ir « h in the river—at other times they are always open ; the level of the wata , however , renders a pretty deep lock necessary at the Thwaits Gate end . Of coarse there is only the slightest possible current is tbe cntting . The enfc is crossed by two wooden Bwing bridges , ' oce at the Leeds end , and the other within about a hundred yard 3 of tbe lock at the other end ; and bs-. tweeu the last-mi iitjoned . bridge and the lock , on the eastern side of ths jnt , is the coal-st-ith belonging to Messrs . Penton and Leather , for ths Thorpe Hall and Waterloo collieries . Here several coal vessels are ceneraUj laid , and , on Sunday memicg , two young men , in passing one of these , saw something ia the water ,, ¦ which one of them , Joseph Austin , a dyer , reading in Brown ' s-building * , Bichmoixi-Toaa ' , drew out , and ' which he fonid lo his horror , Is betbe tnu& of a human
body . : On having taken flie tx > dy out of the Trater , and seen ; ¦ whst it -was , Anatin sent two little boys , -who had in ' the meantime come to the place , to fetch some persons who lived near , and three men came , on being told by the boys what taey "were -wanted for . One-of thes # , imsaeciately said " they had better bury it , and not hsve anything farther to de with it , " adding that he would fetch a spade t » dig a hole . He went awsy for that purpoge , _ but shortly returned , and said that some inquiry must be made , and he then advised Austin to go and tell the * police . Austin then , tft « leaving a person to take < sx& of the body , proceeded into the town , and having met with a policeman , he told the mattej to bim , and he referred tim to to Sergeant

( Bates ) who was near at hand . Bates , on hearing of the circumstance , accompanied Austin to the place , and he Teraoved the b * cy to the house of -Mr . Ltugthorn , the Robin Hood Inn , Xow Fold , Bank . The news of the finding of the body , and of ita being laid at thoBcbin Hood , flaw like wild-fire , acd throughout the afternoon and evening the house was regularly besieged . The body -we believe , was laid in a stable , at the xear of tbe premises , and if we are not misinformed two pigs were kept in the same place . Here Mi . PricB , tbe surgeon , flrat saw the body , and to use his own language , he could not tell what it was ; he thought it -was a piece of burnt wood . He soon , however , was satisfied of the truth of the horrible discovery . Information of tbe finding of the body was conveyed
also to Mr . Blackburn , the Coroner for the borough , and facts were stated to him which led him to consider bat the place to which it bad 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 , gave orders for the removal of the body to the Jledical School , not only aa a place of perfect safety , but in order that tbe opinions of tbe professional gentlemen of the town might be more readily obtained . Mr . Blackburn mentioned this circumstance at tbe inquest which was subsequently held , and the Jury unanimously concurred in the propriety of the course which the worthy Gorener had adopted .
The body found is evidently that of a female , and in tbe opinion of the surgeon { Wm . Price , E-q , ) a young female , probably from twenty to twenty-five yea ^ B of age . The fact of its being a female is proved by the breista , which have been large , and which are , in a great measure , preserved ; were it not for this , any identity would be utterly out of the question—there is nothing but the trunk left , and even that has been horriblj mutilated , and even considerably burnt . The head Las been severed between t ^ e fourth and fifth vertebice . and apparently with some d . fflculty . The right arm has been removed at the shoulder joint , tbe articulation of which has evidently been at once got into , but in takiDg off the left arm , a greater difficulty seems to have presented itself , und i ; has been done by a saw ; the lower Extremities bava been removed at the fourth lumber vertebisB , tbe bones of tbe pelvis , together with the abdominal viscera , being thus completely taken off
Of course it is , under these circumstances , next to an impossibility to account for tbe cause of deatb . In the course of his examination , Mr . Price found that three wounds had been inflicted on the thorax , one on the right , and two oa the Mi aide . Six of the ribs had also been fractured on one side , and two on the other , corresponding wi £ b the wounds in the thorax ; and these . Mr . Price supposes , may have been done by some hluut heavy instrument , as a fire poker , and he judges it not improbable that the body may have been placed or knocked ou tbe fire after these wounds haTe been inflicted ; bnt in tbe 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 had been inflicted it would escape , he conld not say whether these injuries to the thorax and tbe ribs had actually caused death , though there was a probability that they would have been sufficient to do so . The lunga and heart remain , aud are uninjured ; the liver his been partly consumed , but what remains is healthful ; the vessels of the trunk are entirely emptied of blood , -which warrants tbe supposition that dismemberment had taken place immediately sf cer
death-Of the tarns at whiebfthe body may have been thrown into tbe water , it is utterly impossible to speak with any thing like certainty ; Mr . Price cannot form any distinct idea . Judging from all the circumstances , however , the state ef the body when found , and the place where it was fonnd , we are strongly inclined to the opinion that it b » d not been thrown in long' -r than during the Bight of Friday last We believe , and we are borne out in this by several competent persons , that the body would not sink at all—that it would remain on the surface of the water from tbe moment it was thrown in to the time it was taken out Hence , had it been in longer than the time we have mentioned it mnst have been seen . It was , we know , seen by a person on the Saturday , witain a very few yards of the place where it
"was found on Sunday ; it was remarked , but not disturbed , the person who saw it , a female , believing it to be a piece of offal meat which had been thrown overboard from some vessel . Neither , frem the stillness of the water in the cut , would it float far from tbe place zd which it was originally dropped . We have heard it surmised that the manitr in : iy have been committed on board some vessel , and that the extremities may have been similarly disposed of in different places . Be it as it may , however , whether committed on the ' and or on the water , there ib no trace hitherto discovered which seerus at aii likely to lead a clue to the discovery of tbe brutal party by whom the heart-rending vised has been committed , tbe sickening details of "which we have endeavoured to furnish .
The Magistrates were waited on by Mr . Blackbnrn on Monday morning , and by them a reward for tbe discovery of the perpetrators has been offered . Tbe heads of the police also received orders to use every vigilance to unravel the mystery in which the matter is placed .
THE INQUEST . Oo Monday evening , at seven o ' clock , an inquest was opened at tbe Court House , befoie John Blackburn , Esq ., and a respectable jmj , consisting of twenty persons , to it quire into the circumstances of the mysterious caBe . The Jnry were sworn " to inquire how and by what means a female unknown had coma to her death . " BaJph MarMand , Esq ., one of the borough justices , was present during tbe inquiry . The Jury having been sworn , Tbe Coboxek said , that in this case they were called upon to view the sad spectacle of the body of a female stripped of the head , arms , and legs . He was afraid that they wonld be able to adduce very lHtle evidence at present , and that it would therefore be
necessary that an adjournment of the inquiry should take place in order that further evidence might be obtained . The great question to be determined , would of course be tbe cause of deith , and how that must be determintd would mainly depend upon the evidence of tbe medical gentleman who would be called before them , who would have to say whether the violence which had bet-n offered lo the unfortunate female was offered before ot after deatb . At present , from the examination which Mr . Price , kad made , he understood that that gentleman could not yet come to any satisfactory conclusion on the siUject , and therefore it was desirable that their inquiry should be adjourned to a future day . The only evidence that conld at present be adduced was that of tbe person who fom . d the )» edy , and the evidence of Mr . Price , who would give them all that bad resulted from his hitherto incomplete investigation . He ( lbe Coroner ) had communicated with tbe
Magistrates this day , and be believed they would take such measures as the case required , and the Jury would have evidence as to whe the feniaie was , -and the cause of her death , if euch evidence could ba brought fortrard . Some persons had blamed him for having the body removed to the Medical School The body was first taken to tbe Robin Hood Inn , Low Fold , Buck , a very insecure place , and it wus there placed in a stable , in which he understood some pigs were aho kept . Supposing the body had been allowed to remain in the stable , if any persons were implicated in the death of the woman , they might , during thenigbt . have got into the stable , and taken the body away . He had it removed , therefore , for tfee sake of greater security , and to give greater facilities for its examination by medical gentlemen . He removed it to the Medical School , because it was a public institution , and seemed to be the most proper place ; and he hoped the Jury wonld think that he had dona right
The Jury nnanimously concurred in the propriety of the course taken . The Jury having gone to the Medical School , and viewed the body , the following evidence was adduced : — Joseph Austin , dyer , BromTs Buildings , Richmond Road—Yesterday morning , about eleven o ' clock , 1 and another young man , named William Dale , were waikini ? oa the side of the Kuostrop cut ; and I saw somethmg in the -water that attracted my attention . It was near the p ' sccthty load boats with coals at F ^ nton ' s Wharf . Tbe o ' ysct I saw was floating at the head of a coal boat , and there was a dead dog near it I said to
Dale that it looked carious ; &nd be replied that he thoucbt it was a piece of meat I procured a boat hook , and got the thins out of the water , and it was afterwards removed to the Robin Hood public-bouse ; it was part of a human body . Aa soon as we got it out , two little boys came up , and we sent them to the nearest honse , to tell what had happened , and three men came from the house ; one of these men , when he saw what we had got out of tbe water , said it was part of a human bedy , and we bad better bury it Ho went for a shovel to bnry it with , tut came back without one , and said we had better d » nothing with it till some inquiry took place . I dont know who the man -was who said these words ; but I should know him again .
Thomas Bates , sergeant in tbe Leeds police force—Yesterday I met the last witness , and a young man named Da ? e , and one ot oar policemen ; and in conseqnence of what tcsy 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 Haod public house . William Priee , surgeon—I have examined the feody spoken of by ths t * o witnesses . 1 first saw it in a stable at the Robin Hood public-house , lying upon a bos . At first right I ihonght it -was a piece of burnt wood ; I had no idea it was a human being . I looked at it more closely , and I thought it was the remains of some animal which had been thrown into the canal ; but on turning it over , I found it to bs ths remains of a human being—most likely a female . The head ,
which was absent , had been removed abont two inches 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 the Medical School , where I examined them very carefully . I found they were mnch charred from fire . There were three openings in the chest—one on the right siae and twa on the left , where the corresponding ribs were fractured . The bowels and a part of the liver were protruding ; they were much corrogated and hardened from the effects of fire . The lungs were healthy "with vary triflbsg exception , and also the heart Tbe bark had been subject to less injury j the skin was diity , and sUyffed the effects , of fire , o ? rathtr smoke upon it

There were two lacerations upon the bacfr , but they were only skin deep From the breasts , and the lightness and texture of the bones . I should aay It is the body of a female . The right arm had been dls . « tfcnlated at the sboulder joint . The left arm hacl bet n removed witn some difficulty , and 6 y means of a sV'W ; not knowing the articulation , putt of tbe scapula or blade-bone bad been removediin taking off theleffc-arm ; bnt the right-arm had been well removed . I should say they were not removed by a person accustomed to 1 dissection . The lower extremities had been removed at the loins . From the wutflated state of the body , it would be difficult to say precisely how long it hadfeeen in the water j it might have been in Beveral days . There was nothing particular about the body to cause it to float when first into
put tbe water—that is to say , sufficient decomposition had not taken place to cause it to float . The partial decomposition which had taken place from the action of fire might have that effect It is difficult to form an opinion as to tho length of time which has elapsed since the death to the present ; the coldnesB of the water and the weather might have some tffect 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 cannot speak positively 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 raiaht have been cauaedby cutting off the extremities after death . In destroying a person ' s life , it is very likely the head wonld be first
attacked ; and the absence of the head makes it very diflicult to apeak as to the exact cause of death . The fir-t impression on my mind on viewing the body , was tba . t the injury done to the chest was inflicted during life—that , the openings in the chest and the injury to the ribs bad resulted from violence and an attempt to destroy life . The chest being struck with some heavy instrument would fracture the ribs , and a continuation of that aort of violence would produce the openings in the chtst , the ribs being first ao much injured as to afford no resistance . There has , however , been no instrument passed into the body , as the internal parts we : e uninjured . By the appearance of tbe body , I should say it was a female from 20 to 26 yea * s of age . She was of low stature ; the body from the neck to the pelvis would be rather better than twenty inches .
By a Juryman—A sharp instrument must have been used in separating tbe extremities and the head . If the cuts had been done by a medical student , I should say ibey had been very " lubberly" done . Bj the Coroner—To the best of my opinion at present , I think she has come to her death by violence . By a Juryman—I cannot say whether or not sbe was pregnant , all the parts being removed . By the Coroner—I cannot tell what was the colour of her hair ; there was no hair on any part of tbe body . Tbe Coroner then eonsuHdd the jury as to the propriety of Mr . Price making a more minute examination of the remains , and calling into his aid another medical gentleman .
Several of the jury signified their 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 possible to get , bearing on the mysterious circumstances in which the czse is involved , tin aiijouriiuitnt of the inquest to Monday next , at six o ' clock in the evening , was agreed to .

SHEFFIELD . The Bank Failurf . —A meeting of the creditors of Parker ' s and Snore bank was held on Wednesday January 25 th , to hear a statement of the company's affairs . The proceedings were rather stormyit came out in the course of the discus 3 ion that the petitioning creditor made his affidavit on Friday tbe 13 th of January , and that consequently the concern was really bankrupt from that date , yet this was kept quiet and business transacted as usual the next day ; of course those who on : the Saturday paid monies into the bank are not-a little indignant at this sort of work . Tne Sluffi Id papers ? that at the outset profe .= sed to be so sanguine of the partners being able to meet in full all demands upon them , are now chop-fallen at the issue . The general opinion is that something short of six shillings in the pound will probably be the dividend .
Kepbesjentation of Sheffield . —The " Sucking Pis ' Association of Sheffield assuming that Mr . Parker must resign his seat in consequence of his acceptance of ths office of Steward to the Court of Requests , have published a resolution recommending Colonel Thompson to the electors as a fit person to represent Sheffield . The Iris graciously announces that the " Napoleon of free trade" (! ! ' . ) is the man of its choice , and it fully expects will also be the choice of the people . The Independent on the other hand is mum as to the transcendent virtues of Nap the second—we beg pardon , Nap the third , — Louis Philip , as the ** Napoleon of Peace , " must take precedence of the erratic Colonel . It is very evident from the Independent that our "
well-informed , pains-taking , consistent , steady , Bound , and progressive member" means to stick to his seat aa long as ho can . Truo it is acknowledged that the ba » k failure "has most seriously affected his prospects in life . " Bnt it is hoped that for the " sake of the town , " Mr . Parker will continue to represent Sheffield in Parliament ; the idea that because Mr . P . has accepted the office of Steward to the Court of Rcques ' -, he should , therefore , resign , is scouted by tne Independent , who argues that the duties of the office may bu well divided between the steward and his deputy , so as uot to interfere with Mr .
Parker ' s Parliamentary du'ies . The fact is , that in the present ticklish state of things , when almost universal insolvency is the order of the day , the Whigs have no inclination to " fork out" the needfnl for election expenoes . Morever , " Nap the Third , " is not exactly the man for the Sheffield Whigs ; they have no objection to make a tool of the whimsical Old Colonel ; but for an M . P . he ' s a leetle" too " liberal' for the shopooraey of the " city of soot . " ilence the anxiety of the Independent that the "loss of Mr . Hugh Parker ' s services" should not bo " aggravated" by the retirement of hi * eon . Still we warn our Chartist
friends that the retirement of our present MP . is more than probable . Should it turn out so , " we " , think " we" know a man capable of vindicating tae rights of the people much more efficiently than the " Napoleon of Free Trade , " who may be forthcoming dn the day of nomination . Mr . H . G . Ward , our bouncing , boatswain-like legislative champion of Free-trade and the Ballot , has , for the second time , shirked his " annual account of his stewardship . " It is but justice to the honourable member to state the assigned causes for the nonfuifiimmt 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 constituents , but this has been set aside " in
consequence of the suvere indisposition of the lady and the eldest daughter of the Hon . Member . " Far be it from us to rejoice in the afflictions of the Hon . Member , or to question the truth of the abovo statament , but we cannot avoid expressing our opinion that had Mr . Ward wished to meet his constituents , he wouid have found the opportunity ; " where there ' s a will there ' s a way ; " but wo gu « ss the " peculiar state of the town" has had not a little to do with keeping Mr Ward away from Sheffield . The Hen . Gentleman has answered the query of his " freebooting" friends as to whether he would vote for total repeal .
