      PROVINCIAL MARKETS . Manchester Cohn Market , Satuhiiay . —Rather more business has been passing in flour during the week , owing to the dealers and bakers having reduced their stocks into so very narrow a compass : the demand luw , howGvai ' . boen chiefly confined to choice fresh qualities , which maintained their previous value , whilst other descriptions were neglected , and eculd have been purchased on lower terms . The inquiry for either oats or oatmeal has been without animation , but no material change in prices occurred . At our market this morning the transactions in wheat were of a limited character , and although any but the best runs were the turn cheaper , wo do not vary the quotation of this day se ' nnight . A moderate consumptive demand was experienced for good marks of fresh-made flour , at fully late prices ; but inferior or stale parcels were without inquiry . Oats moved oft'in retail at a slight improvement on the prices previously obtainable . In the value of prime cuts of oatmeal no alteration can be reported , the supply continuing scanty .

      Warristoton Corn' Maiiket , WBPSEsnAr . — At the market ou Wednesday last there was a fair attendance of farmers with fewer samples of wheat than last week . l rices were about the same .

We had about halfa-dozen baskets of nice new kidney potatoes , which sold at 3 ( 1 . per 11 ) . Birmingham Corn Exchange , Wednesday . — During the present week the transactions in wheat are only of a retail character , at about om previous currency . Grinding barley and beans maintained their late value . Oats found buyers at the rate of this day se'nnight .

      Newcastle Corn Market . Tuesday . — Our fanners brought a moderate supply of wheat to market to-day , but we had a fair show of coasting samples , and the sale proved very dull for fine qualities , at prices the turn cheaper tliau on Saturday last , whilst inferior descriptions were quite neglected . For barley the demand was extremely limited ) and business could not be transacted to any extent , as the malting season is completely over . 'flic little inquiry for rye was confined to the best samples . Peas were looking rather lower . In the value of oats or other grain no material alteration can be quoted . Richmond ( Yobksuihk !

      STATE OF TRADE . ¦ "LtsEBR . —Last Saturday ' s market < tt our cloth" halls was much the same as the markets of the last few weeks , but on Tuesday there were fewer goods sold than we hare witnessed for a long time past ; the fears of a change in the Ministry , and the consequent delay in the settlement of railway and other important matters , has completely stopped the merchants from speculating at the present crisis . Pricc-s are nominal although the stocks are moderate , and tho manufacturers continue to act with great caution . We have also had a dull week of business in the warehouses . This being betwixt the seasons , very few buyers havo boon in ttie town , and those who have purchased linvh done less than usual—Leeds . Vercury . Bradford . —The business done in wool sales are very limited . The spinners buy only for present consumption . There is , however , no fall in price . In yarns there is a lair . trade ,,. so far as demand goes , but prices are such as to give no encouragement ti > spinners to do more business . There lias been no alteration in the piece market for the last two weeks .

      IIuuDEHSFiEr . p . —Although there has not been that quantity of business transacted to-day which the season would warrant , tliere lias been a tolerably spirited mar-Uet , and goods , particularly those of novel design and fail quality , have sold freely . Thegoneral complaint amongst both merchants and manufacturers is , that until the agitated feeling which pervades all elasM-s as to the ultimate fate of the Com Lawn an become settled , that buoyant and healthy confidence , which is the very spirit of commcrciiil enterprise , cannot be established , and a dull monotony in business will be the result . During the week there have been several of the larger London and provincial hiy'lTS in the town , and the wariness find caution with which they havo done business fully bears out these remarks . Nevertheless , their purchases have been tolerably heavy . Halifax . —In the price of wool there is no variation , and prices both of pieces and yarn remain Bun . The hall exhibited some animation amongst , buyers generally , who are looking out for jjoods suitable for the season .

      IIociidal JFlannel Maiikkt . —The tliiDiic ' . innrl >« t has been dull , and the business transacted has bcun upon a limited scale ; indeed , lew goods were oilVred % sale , on account of the previous week being Whitsuntide . The wyyl markut remains steady , and prieee avc firm .

      ' -KeckmoNDWIKE BLANKET Mabket . —The attendance of buyers at this market , both Monday and to-day , . has not been good . There is not much alteration in prices the last few weeks " . Good samples continue scarce . Leicester .-The demand is slack for the home trade . Some orders have been received for the continent , and the otoclis , on hand of useful goods are not very heavy . | nglish wool yams are more difficult to buy , and show u te ndency to advance . NoxnxoiiAM—A moderate amount of business was done at the end of last week in finished goods ot most kinds , cspecin . ll ) fancies of fresh patterns . Replacing these out of rough stocks is all that is doing with the

      makers of goods , as there is as yet no increase ot conn , dsnee in prices , or continued demand , the aspect of public affairs is generally felt here to be unsatisfactory , and so far as trade is concerned , neutralisestlie otherwise cheering effect of the weather , and promise of a good harvest . Our fine yarns and cops maintain their prices ; the demand for warps , &c . for Bradford , Coventry , and London , as well as for the continent , being very good . Nothing is so much to be desired as ' a lessened supply of laoQ goods , and jrrontor attention to pattern and quality on the part of the English machine owner ; these , combined , will alone prove a remedy for the existing difficulties of our trade .

On Friday week the first market for the sale ot wool was held at Selby , and the supply of wool was much larger than could have been anticipated . —York : The supply of wool on Thursday was good , both on quantity nnd duality .

      COMMITTAL OF MORTIMER . At Guildhall , on Saturday , Joseph Mortimer , the Irishman , who , by representing himself as a w-.-altby American merchant , has duped a number of respectable women into marriage , or by promising them , obtained a considerable portion of their property , was brought u ;> for final examination before Mr . Alderman Fareurother , on Saturday . The evidence having been read over , and the depositions signed in the case of fraud on Mrs E . Loyer ,

      Mr . Samuel Shuttleworth , wholesale teadealer , of Eaetchcap and Chdmsiord , produced a copy of a certificate of the prisoner ' s marriage with Mrs . Josephine Langhorn , at St . Giles ' s church , Cambcrwell , in Juno , 1839 . That lady was his wife ' s sister , and he believed her to be alive at New York . He produced tt'letter written by her , dated the 22 nd of last March . He knew it to be in tho handwriting of that lady . The contents entirely alluded to her destitute condition . Mr . Alderman Farebrother : Prisoner , you may not be aware that it is our intention now to show that you married a woman in 1811 , when you had a wife , and who is still alive . Prisoner : I admit that I married that female , but the otnetoneisdead . Mr . Alderman Farebrother : I hold in my band a letter detailing the circumstances of her death , and I blush that you havo not a spark of human feeling that would dictate to vou more humane conduct .

      Mr . Shuttleworth ( much hurt ) begged to contradict a statement that the prisoner had made respecting Mrs . Langhorn , wherein he remarked that ale was living with another man now in New York , by whom she had chil-< lrott ; now , that was totally false , and the prisoner knenr such to be the case . Sergeant Mackenzie . B 5 , produced a copy of the certificate of marriage of the prisoner with a Miss Lovejoy , at St Phillips's Church , Liverpool , on the 22 nd of June , 18 U , He also produced another copy of the prisoner's marriagH with Mrs . C . Wright , at St . Leonard ' s Church , Shoreditch , in June , 1845 . Mr . R . Caldecott , a schoolmaster , living in Bethnali ? reen , proved that the Mrs . Wright was his Mother , and was present at her marriage with the prisoner . She was at present living in Dublin .

      Mr . Alderman Fatebrother asked the prisoner if he bad anything to say —He replied he would " reserve " it until his trial , when he would bring his whole force against the charges . The prisoner then made application for some clothes which were found in . a trunk at his lodgings , nt the public , house at Chelsea . He wanted them for a change . Hk also wished the magistrate ' s protection in having £ 300 which he left in the trunk , safely guarded . The police sergeant said the only money found upon him or in his clothes was 10 s . Gd . Mr . Alderman Fnrebrother asked the prisoner if th « £ 300 iv . -is in money or notes ' ! PriRoner : In Cant of Borland notes , and I hare 10 , 000 d 'Hiirs . The sergeant remarked that there were two empty bags in the box , marked 5 , 000 upon them .

      The prisoner bogged the Alderman to look over big papers in the possession of the police , Mr , Alierman Farebrother did so . There were a number of answers from females , to whom the prison r had evidently pro . fesaed the greatest attachment , and several sham bills of exchange , "kites , " but nothing of the kind spoken of by the prisoner . Mr . Alderman Farebrother said he should commit him to Nowgatifor the two cases of fiaud on Mrs . Loyer , and frtrmawyingMrs . Wright when lie had a former wife , Mrs . Langhorn , alive , He should remand him on the case of marrying Miss Lorejay : no doubt that would be satisfactorily proved against him . The following is a copy of the letter alluded to by the Alikrman : — New York , April 24 , 1845 .

      " JHidam , —Your letter , which 1 received by the Sid-. ions , should have been answered before , but that it has been mislaid , and I am still unable to find it . 1 must tell you , therefore , what I recollect of the circumstances respecting Mrs . Mortimer . I .: id not see her after the first d : iy of our voyage . I believe she never got out of her berth after the second day . I was introduced to her by Mrs . Hsberts , and she appeared to me to be iu tolerable health . I was In the next cabin ; and a » there wn § a large opening at the top , we heard very plainly what was said in each other ' s place ? . A plain , good-natured Englishwoman , in the nest burth to theirs , offered to do anything for Mrs , Mortimer , ami was refused until she said she was ashamed ofoniring her services . The first lime I recollect anything about them was when he was

      drunk . Whrn he got iuto bed she screamed out , " Mortimer , don't touch me . " Afterwards she cried , and I suppose 8 lie pushed him away , for be swore at hi-r , and said , ' Let me once get my legs into New York , and I will mark you . ' The time went on , and every one wondered that Mr , Mortimer did not try to get up . When she became so ill that her groans were too distressing for me to boar , I sent for tlic mute , and told him ; and ttie captain , I believe f saw her ; but no woman wa » allowed by the husband to do anything for her . Two young women wished to go to her , and they told me that he said , " She is m&A ; it is of no use to speak to her . " She , hearing him , said , " I am uot mad , James ; I knowwlmt they sny , let them in , " but they wer < not admitted . As 1 lay awake , I hia'd her say , " Lord have mercy , " " Christ

      save me , " and such broken sentences ; ani my children , who could hear batter , being even with her bed , said she sometimes talked queerly , but that was only about twenty-four hours beforo her death . Mortimer was never up with her one night , for the night before sno died she ¦ sclaimcd , ' Ob , Mortimer , I shall die , I shall die , ' and ho doggedly replied , ' Die then . ' Then she would beseech him , ' Dear , dear James , take me out of this place . ' But still no one was allowed to go in It was beyond description painful for me to bear and hear her awi ' ul groans , which resembled the bowlings of a cat . Tho last night She lived , in rather » str « nger voice than I expected , she said , ' Turn me , James , I am dyinjf . ' He was asleep by her side , and in reply , said , ' What do you want ! What do you want I' Some time after I heard

      -. mother faints * gi-oiiu , and at the tune said to mvsL-lf , ¦ that is much like a rattle in the throat . ' I had be ^ ti much disturbed night nnd day , and now , all being quieter , I fell asleep . At eight o ' clock the next morning , the boy who waited upon us came and toW us that Mrs . Mortimer was dead and overboard . How much I was shocked I need not try to tell you . Tho same day iUv . timer was walking about the ship with her gold watch about his neck , an objuct of suspicion and dislike to all on lioard . I was told lie was ransacking her trunks , before I knetv of her death , and at night he had a man in his cabin , with whom ho was laughing and chuckling about the watch and other valuables . I did not see him throw the body overboard , but the sailors did , and you

      may rely upen it she was not sewed up in any rug . He did ask the En glishwoman to dress her inanight . gown , &c , but she replied , No , you would not let me do any . thing for her while living , and now she is dead you may do the rest yourself . ' I heard that she lia < 1 a clean gown , cap , shift , and stockings put 611 previous to the sewing up . This is the plain account , so far as I know anything about it .
