LEEDS . —Chabge of Fobciblk Ektby . —On Monday last , Mr . Wm . Hiret , felted clotb mflnnfactnrer , appeared before A . Titley , and Griffith Wright , Esqri , at the Court Honse , on a -warrant obtained ag&inst him bj Mr . Turner , of the late firm of Turner , Ogden , and Co ., machine makers , Hunslet l ^ ane . Mr . Naylor , solicitor , appeared for the complsmaat . Mr . Tamer , on the case being called od , BtaVed that on Saturday morning , Mr . Hirst , accompanied by five or six { men , CMoeto his premises , in Hnnslet 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 rightor if Mr . Hirst
, had any property on the premises , to which Mr . Turner replied in the negative . Mr . Turner , howerer , admitted to Mr . Hirst , that he ( Mr . H . ) was a tenant of one room , but contended that he had no bnsiness to go the way he did to get to that room Thera were two ways of getting into the yard belonging the premises , one throngh a pair of large gates , used 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 office , 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 premises had been locked up since the month of October ; when they were open , acdMr . Hirst wanted to get to his own room , both roads into ths yard were open to him , he had a right to both , the ruad through the office was the ordinary way . . The bench then said they were of opinion Mr . Turner had failed to make out his case , and therefore the warrant must be dismissed . It was clear that Mr . Hirst had a right to go to his own room where he wanted to go , and it was only right that a way should be made for him . Mr . Turner then made a chaTge of assault against Ricnard Marsden , Mr . Hirsts ' s assistant , under circumstances connected with the preceding case , but which , after some time was also dismissed .

( Bates ) who was near at hand . Bates , on hearing of the circumstance , accompanied Austin to the place , aud na removed the b ** cy to the honse of Mr . Lcngthorn , tbe Robin Hood Inn . Xow Fold , Bank . The newa of tbe finding of tbe body , and of ita being laid at tbo Robin Hood , flaw l ike wild-fire , and throughout ths afternoon and evening the bouse was regularly besieged . Th 8 body we believe , was laid in a stable , at the rear of the premises , and if we are not misinformed two pigs vrere kept in tbe same place . Here Mr . Prica , the surgeon , first saw the body , and to use his own language , he could not toil « rhat it was ; be thought it -was a piece of burnt wood . He soon , bowever , was satisfied of the truth of the horrible discovery . Information of the finding of the body wob conveyed
also to Mr . Blackburn , the Coroner for tbe borough , aud facts were stated to him which led him to consider hat the place to which it had been removed was not one of sufficient security—there being nothing to prevent any party from carrying it off , supposing they were implicated in the murder , and wished to obliterate all traces of guilt ; be therefore , in the evening , gave orders for tbe removal of the body to the Medical School , not only ai a place of perfect safety , but In order that the opinions of the professional gentlemen of the town might be more readily obtained . Mr . Blackburn mentioned this circumstance at the inquest which was subsequently held , and tbe Jury unanimously concurred in tbe propriety of the course which tbe worthy Gorener had adopted .
The body found is evidently that of a female , and in tbe opinion of the Burgeon { Wm . Price , E-q . ) a young female , probably from twenty to twenty-five yea ^ s of age . The fact of its being a female ia proved by the breiata , which have been large , and which are , in a great measure , preserved ; were it not for this , any identity would be utterly out of tbe question—there is nothing but the trunk left , and even that has been horribl ) mutilated , and even considerably burnt . Tbe head Las been severed between t > o fourth acd fifth verteb » ro , and apparently with some difficulty . Tbe right arm has been removed at the shoulder joint , tbe articulation of which has evidently been at onca got into , but in taking off the left arm , a greater difficulty seems to bave )> resenttd itself , and it has been done by a saw ; the lower extremities have been removed at the fourth lumber vertfcbjsB , tbe bones of the 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 death . In the course of his examination , Mr . Price found that three wounds had been inflicted on tbe thorax , one on the right , and two on the left side . Six of tbe ribs had alBo been fractured on one side , and two on the other , corresponding wi £ b the wounds in the thorax ; aud tbese . Mr . Price supposes , may bave been done by some bluut heavy instrument , as a fire poker , and he judges it not improbable that tbe body may bave been placed or knocked 011 tbe fire after tbese wounds have been inflicted ; but in tbe absence of the
bead , which doubtless would come in for a large share of violence , it beiDg impossible to suppose that where so much mischief had been inflicted it would escape , be could not say whether these injuries to the thorax and tbe ribs bad actually caused death , though there was a probabaity that they would have been sufficient to do so . Tbe lungs and heart remain , and are uninjured j the liver his been partly consumed , but what remains is healthful ; the vessels of the trunk are entirely emptied of blood , ¦ wh ich warrants the supposition that dismemberment bad taken place immediately slier
deatb-Of the tima at whichfthe body may bave been thrown into the 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 of the body when found , and the place where it was found , we are strongly inclined to tbe opinion that it bid not been thrown in longer than during the night of Friday last We believe , and we are borne ont in this by several competent persons , that the body would not sink at nil—that it would remain on the surface of the water from the moment it was thrown in to tbe time it was taken out Hence , bad it been in longer than tbe time we have mentioned it must have been seen . It was , we know , seen by a person on the Saturday , within 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 , from the stillness of the water in the cut , would it float far from the place ir > which it was originally dropped . We bave hesTd it surmised that tbe murder m-. ty bav » been commiUed on board some vessel , and that tbe extremities may bave been similarly disposed of in different places . Be it as it may , however , whether committed on the ' and or on the water , there is no trace hitherto discovered which seems at all likely t ? lead a clue to the discovery of the brutal paity by whom the heart-rending deed has been committtd , the sickening details of vibicb we bave endeavoured to furnish .
The Magistrates were waited on by Mr . Blarfcbnro on Monday morning , and by them a reward for the discovery of tbe perpetrators has been offered . The beads of the police also received orders to use every vigilance to unravel the mystery in which tbe matter is placed .
THE I NQUEST . On Monday evening , at Beven o ' clock , an inquest was opened at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq ., and a respectable jury , consisting of twenty persons , to inquire into the circumstances of tbe mysterions case . The Jnry were sworn "to inquire how and by ¦ what means a female unknown had come to ber death . " Ralph Marbland , Esq ., one of tbe borough juitices , was present during tbe inquiry . The Jury having been sworn , Tbe COEOJiEK said , that in this case they were called upon to view the sad spectacle of the body of a female stripped of the bead , arms , and legs . He was afraid that they would bs able to addnca very little 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 deterxnintd would mainly depend upon tbe evidence of tbe medical gentleman who would be called before them , who would have to Bay whether the violence which had bet-n offered to the unfortunate female was offered before or after death . At present , from tbe examination which Mr . Price , fead made , be understood that that gentleman con ) d not yet come to any satisfactory conclusion on the aiitject , and therefore it was desirable that their iuquiry should be adjourned to a future day . The only evidence that could at present be adduced was that of the person who fouad the kedy , and the evidence of Mr . Pr ice , who would give them all that bad resulted from his hitherto incomplete investigation . He ( the Coroner ) bad communicated with tbe
Magistrates this day , and be be ! leved they would take such measures as the case required , and the Jury would bave evidence as to whe the female was , and the cause of her death , if such evidence could be brought forward . Some persons had blamed him for having the body removed to the Medical School . The body was first taken to the Robin Hood Inn , Low Fold , Bank , a very insecure place , and it was there placed in a stable , in which he understood some pigs were also kept . Snpposing tbe body had been allowed to remain in tbe stable , if any persons were implicated in the death of the woman , they might , during tbe night , bave got into the stable , and taken the body away . He had it removed , therefore , for tbe sake of greater security , and to give greater facilities for its examination by medical gentlemen . He removed it to tbe Medical School , because it was a public institution , and seemed to be lie most proper place ; and he hoped the Jury would tbink that be bad done right .
Tbe Jury unanimously concurred In the propriety of the conrse taken . The Jury baviDg gone to tbe Medical School , and viewed the body , the following evidence was adduced : — Joseph Austin , dyer , Brown " a Buildings , Richmond Bond—Yesterday morning , about eleven o ' clock , J and another young man , named William Dale , wer « waikini ? on the side of the Knostrop cut ; and I saw sonieth-ng in tbe vsat&r that , attracted my attention . It was near the place thty load boats with coals at F ^ nton ' s Wharf . Tbe o ^ ect I saw was floating at the head of a coal boat , and there was a dead dog near iL . I said to
D-sle that it looked curious ; and be replied that he thoueht it was a piece of meat I procured a boat book , and got the thin ? out of the water , and it was afterwards removed to the Robin Hood public-house ; it was part of a buman body . Aa soon as wo got it out , two littie boys came up , and we sent them to the nearest house , to tell what had happened , s » d three men carat from the bcuse ; ont of these men , when he saw what we had got out of tbe water , said it was part of a human betJy , and we bad better fcury it Ho went for a shovel to bury it with , but came back without one , and said we hail better d % nothing with it till some inquiry toot place . 1 dont know who the man waa who said these words ; but I should know him again .
Thomas Bates , sergeant in the Leeds police force—Yesterday I Hiet the last witness , and a young man named Da ' e , and one of our policemen ; and in conseqnence of what tcsy said , J went to the side of the cut at Enostrop , and there saw the Temains of a body which 1 removed to tbe Robin Hsod public bouse . William Price , surgeon—I have examined the feody spoken of by the tvo witnesses . I first saw it in a stable at the Robin Hood public-house , lying upon a box . At first Fight I ihongbt it was a piece of burnt wood ; I bad no idea it was a human being . I looked at it more closely , and I thought it was the remains of some animal which bad been thrown into tbe canal ; but on turning i t over , I found it to be the remains of a human being—most likely a female . Tbe bead ,
which was absent , had been removed about two inches from tbe trunk . ; There were no extremities ; the legs bad been taken off by the pelvis , or hip bones . The arms were also absent . Tbe remains were afterwards removed , for better examination and security , to tbe Medical School , where I examined them very carefully . I found they were much charred from fire . There were three openings in tbe chest—on © on tbe right side and twa on tbe left , where the corresponding riba were fractured . Tbe bowels and a part of the liver were protruding : tbey were much corrogated and hardened from tbe effects of fire . The lungs were healthy "with vary tyifliag exception , and also the heart The bark had been subject to less injury j the dtin was dirty , and shvtfed the effects of fire , or rather smoke upon it-

There were two lacerations upon the bacfe , but they were only skin deep From the breasts , and the lightness and texture of the bones , I should say It is tbe body of 11 female . The right arm bad been dls , wticnlated at the shoulder joint , The left arm had bet n removed with some difficulty , and by means of a st < w ; not knowing the articulation , part of the scapula or Wade-bone bad been removed tin taking off the left-arm ; bnt the right-arm had been well removed . I should say they were not removed by a person accustomed to dissection . The lower extremities bad been removed at the loins . From tbe wotHated state of the body , it would be difficult to Bay precisely how long it had been in the water ; it might have been iu aeveial dayB . There was nothing particular about the hody to cause it to
float when first put into tbe water—that is to flay , sufficient decomposition had not taken place to cause it to floaJ . The partial decomposition which had taken place from the action of fire might have that effect It ia difficult to form an opinion as to the length of time which has elapsed since the death to the present : the coldness of the water and the weather might have some tffect in retarding decomposition . I don't think the appearance would have been much altered , it the body had been dead ten or fourteen days . The burning I should think took place after death , but I cannot Bpeak positively as to whether the violence was offered before or after deaikh . The blood vessels were empty and the heart bloodless , but the absence of blood miaht have been causedby 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 difficult to speak aa to the exact cause of death- The fir-t impression on my mind on viewing the body , was that the injury done to the chest waa inflicted during life—that the openings in the chest and the injury to tbe 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 sort of violence would produce the openings in the chest , the ribs being firat so 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 the body , I should say it was a female from 20 to 25 years of nge . She was of low statnre ; 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 the extremities and the head . If the cuts had been done by a medical student , 1 should say ibey had been very lubberly" done . By 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 Bbe 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 . The Coroner then consulted 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 jary signified thetr acquiescence in the adoption of such a course ; and wishing that opportunity might be afforded for the ptoduction of what other evidence it might be possible to get , bearing on the mysterious circumstances in which the case is involved , an adjuurnnunt of the inquest to Monday next , at six o ' clock in the evening , waa agreed to .

From that
day to the present timo it had pleased an overruling Providence to wiihold all intelligence of | the illfated schooner ; the probability is , that sho foundered with all her crew at sea . The Jane wa 9 ininetynine tons register , white streak with black ports , aad had a woman figurehead . She was commanded by the eldest son 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 <( thDec . a communication to the House of Representatives , recommending negociations to bo entered into with the Chinese Government , to secure for the commerce of the United States the samo advantages as will be enjoyed by Great Britain , \> j the ceding of the four ports and the possessiou of Hong Kong . In his message the President ! states that the importations from China into the United Slates in past years have amounted to 1 , 000 , 000 dollars per annum ; and that in the year 1841 , ; to the direct trade between the two countries , the value of the exports from the United States amounted to 715 , 000 m domestic produce , and 485 , 000 dollars in foreign merchandise .

Deficient Weights . —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 wcignts , and Mr . Stones for having interrupted the inspector whilst in the execution of his duty . On the 17 sh instant , Mr . Fogg went to Mr . Hesketh ' s shop to try his weights , Bcveral 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 . Hesketh , cama into the shop , and took the weights away . Mr . John Gaskell , solicitor , appeared for the two 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 aa much as Mr . Hesketh ' s were
deficient . —Mr . Gaskell contended that the ! case against Mr- Stones could not be sustained ; and , as to the weights being short , there could not the slightest doubt exist this had arisen from their being worn , and that there was no intention to defraud . It had never been iatended by tka legislature that every person having light weights 6 hould be : convicted ; a discretionary p wer was left to the inspector , so that he might discriminate between cases 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 be a hard case for Mr . Hesketh to be subjected to the degradation of a conyiction .-f The magistrates * after a consultation , said , they thought the case against Mr . Hesketh was proved , aud 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 nine and ten o ' clock on the night of Saturday last , a dreadful fire broke out at Manchester , which has destroyed vproperty to the extent of between £ 1 » , 000 and £ 20 , 000 . The flames were Jfirst discovered iu the warehouse of Messrs . Gladstone and Clayton , No . 10 , Norfolk-street , cotton-manu facturers . The moment superintendent Sawleyjhad been made acquainted with the calamitous occurrence , he sent to inform Mr . Rose , superintendent of the fire-department , and proceeded to the spot With two sections of the day-duty-men . On arriving there , he found that the flimes 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 on the building . The fire continued , however , to increase , and spread to the upper story of the next cottonwarehouse , ocaupied by Mr . J . C . Eckhard , No , 11 , Norfolk-street , which was entirely destroyed . Thence it caught the upper part of the warehouse of Mr . Andrew Hall , gingham-maRufacturer , No . 12 , Brown-street , which was also destroyed . The rooms underneath were much damaged by { the 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
adjoining premises subsided . How the firo originated has not been ascertained , although , as usual , several rumours on the subject are current . The whole ofithe buildings are the property of Mr . John Hxlli of Pendleton . Messrs . Gladstone and Clayton were insured in the Phoenix and Liverpool offices , and Mr . Eckhard in tho Sun office . During the day , ithe scene 0 : the conflagration , which is in the heart of the town , waa visited by thousands of the inhabitants . The fire did not spread any further . The military , who were present at at early hour , It ft about eleven a . m . on Sunday ; and oiie engine ohly was left to play on the ruins . Tr . o adjoining streets were filled with goods which had been rescued from the flames . Several of the articles ia question were much charred and burnt .
Murder . —A few days ago , a young woman > e service at Lyons set out to walk to Burgoin , where her parents resided . On her way she wa-3 overtaken by a young so / dier travelling the same road . T 0 ey joined in conversation , and a mutual confidence took place . The youns wouiaa informed her companion that she wn , s carrying home her savings , to the amount of 800 L , and he related his adventures wish his discharge in due firm . On arriving at St . Laurent , the young woman informed the soldier that she had some friends there , with whom she intended to pass the ni « ht , but should continue her journey the next morning . The soldier also determined ; to stop , and promised to call for her at an appointed hourand esoort her to her home . At daybreakjhe
, knocked at the house where he left her , and was answered by a man inside , who informed hint that tho young woman had taken her departure ; a few minutes before . 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 ia the negative , his suspicions became awakened . Communicating these to tbe Gendarmes , they desired he would return
with them to St . Laurent . On coming to the house they found it shut up , and no one answered to their knocks and calls for admittance . On making inquiries of the neighbours , the son of tbe owner of the house , a boy playing in the street , stated , in answer to the questions pat to him , that his father was in the cellar digging a hole to put something into . The house was immediately surrounded , a locksmith sent for , and the door opened . On hastening down into the cellar , they found the man with tho dead a ^ d bleeding body of the paor girl in his aims at the niO menfc of laying it in the hole he had dug . He hac murdered her to secure her 800 f . He vias ionnsiil ately taken aad comauUtd tor ( rial .

London Corn Exchange , Monday , Jan . SO . — Last week the arrivals of Wheit from our own coasts , were on the whole , good , but mostly of inferior quality , arisiDg from the dampness of the atmosphere . Fresh up this morning , coastwise and by land carriage , and sample ? , the receipts were comparatively small , particularly from Essex and Kent . The samples beiug eonnwh&t 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 parcels remained un old % t the close of business . Foreign Wheat , owing to many of the holders demanding full quotations , was again very heavy , yefc we can notice no alteration in its value . Superior malting Barley was taken at late rates , but grinding and distilling Borta 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 aud Peas moved off slowly . Both town made and country made flour were dull , and the latter was a » hade easier in price .
London Smithfield Mabket . Monday , Jaw . 30 . —For many years past we have not had occasion to report such long-existing heaviness in this market as during 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 question here naturally arises as to the existing cause of such an almost unprecedented state of things , to which we shall attempt to reply . If reference be made to ihe arrivals of slaughtered meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall markets , not only from Scotland , but various other quarters , it will bo found that , for several week * , 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 " carcai-ers" have purchased to a very limited extant ; hence has arisen . this so much complained of dulness , 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 8 ibs . It is evident that tho public only are receiving a benefit from such transactions . Dullness , excessive dullness , was again tbt ? 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 . A 3 relates to the foreign supplies , we have to intimate that not a single head has been imported , either in London , or at the out-ports , during the paat weete ; while wo had only two Spanish oa offer this morning , and which were tarned out a fortnight since . Tne attendance of both London and country buyers was extremely scanty , whioh caused the Baef trade to be excessively heavy , and the prices declinfid , from those noted on this day se ' nnight , fully 2 d ppr 8 ibs , it being with the greatest difficulty that , ii 2 d per 81 bs could be obtained for the very primest lots . Scarcely any store beasts ware brought forward . Notwithstanding the numbers of sheep were somewhat less than on Monday last , they were more than adequate to meet the wants of the butchers ,
and the currencies suffered a further abatement of 2 d per 81 bs . As a general figure , 4 s per 8 Ibs may be considered the top price , though in a few instances , some 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 . Iu Lambs , next to nothing was doing , ) there being only about 40 on sale . Calves moved off "Jowly , 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 , Hertfords , and Irish beasts ; from other parts of England , 200 of various breeds ; and from bcotiand , 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 . Scotch Reds , 50 s to 55 s per ton ; York ditto , 55 ? to 60 s ; Devons 50 s to 55 s ; Kent aud Essex . Whites , 40 s tcC 453 ; Wisbeach , 40 s to 45 s ; Jersey and Guernsey Blues , 40 s to 50 s ; Yorkshire Prince Regent ' s , 40 s to 45 s . Borough Hop Market . —Although we " , have had a better supply of hops , both yearling 3 and olds , offering , since our last reports , the demand has ruled tolerable steady , but without any farther improvement in the quotations . The following are the preseparates : —East K « nt , pockets , £ 5 10 a to £ 6 153 ; Do . in bags , £ 5 5 s to £ 6 5 s ; Mid Kent , in pockets , £ 5 8 s to £ 6 8 a ; Do . in bags , £ 4 10 s to £ 5 £ ! 0 s ; Sussex , £ 4 4 s to £ 5 8 s ; Faruhams £ 8 8 s to £ 10 10 s ; Old Hops , £ 3 5 i to £ 4 4 s .
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 parcel * of 50 or 100 casks might be had at the lowest quotation . The price for the Autumn ( 44 s 6 d to 45 s ) is qtite 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 . Tne imports in the week have been 2 , 040 packages , mostly from our colonies .
Barnslet . —The state of Trade , here , gets worse every day , and with it the sufferings of the people . Richmond Corn Market , Saturday , Jan . 28 fch . —We had a plentiful supply of Grain in our market to-day , but the sale , as stated last week , still continues dull . Wheat sold from 5 s 3 d , to 63 6 d . Oats 2 s to 2 s lOd . Barky 3 i 6 d , to 33 9 d . Beans 3 i 6 d , to 4 s per bushel . Liverpool Cattle Market Monday , Jan . 30 . — We had a rather larger supply of Beasts at market to-day than last week , but a smaller supply of Sheep . Prices and quality about the same . Beef 5 . ^ d to 6 a . Mutton 5 d . to 6 d per lb . Number of Cattle at market :-Beasts 1 , 216 , Sheep 2 , 906 .
Liverpool Cotton Market , Monday , Jan . 30 . — Tho Bales to-day amount to about 4 . 000 bags , consisting of 250 Maranham at 5 | d to 6 | d j 150 Batita , 6 d ; 200 Surats , 3 f d to 4 d ; 5 U Languayta , 5 d ; the remainder American , 3 | d to 6 ^ d . With a fair amount of business doing , the market can hardly be said to be more flat . As to prioea they » Te in favour of the bnyer , though perhaps not £ d since Friday . Livebpool Cobn Mabket . 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 , &c <
axe otherwise of small amount . Throughout the week the trade has ruled dull ; on Tuesday a decline of Id to 2 d per bushel on those of new Wheat , ^ was submitted to , with little effect aa to EaJes : the business in that grain has since been of a most limited ' character , but , nominally , we make , no farther change in our quotations . The dealers hare piH 1 - chased Flour for their immediate wants only , at 27 s to 283 per brl . for United States and Canadian ; 383 to 40 s per sack for Irish . ' Oats of all descriptions have been scarce , and fine mealing qualities have brought 2 s 5 d per 451 bs ; secondary soits have met little inquiry . Oatmeal has gone off slowly at 21 a 6 ( 1 to 21 s 9 d per 240 lbs . j ^ o change baa occurred as regards Barley , Bean * or Peas ,

SHEFFIELD . The Bank Failuhf . —A meeting of the creditors of Parker ' s and Stiord 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 discussion that the petitioning creditor made his affidavit on Friday the 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 . Tae Sin ffi Id papers that at the outset professed to be so sanguine of the partners being able to moot 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 .
Representation of Sheffield . —The " Sucking Pig * Association of Sheffield assuming that Mr . Parker must resign his seat in consequence of his acceptance of tbe 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 tho 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-takinH , consistent , steady , sound , and progressive member" means to stick to his seat as long as ho can . Trno it is acknowledged that the bank failure "has most seriously affected his prospects i n 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 Request , he should , therefore , resign , is scouted by tne Independent , who argues that the duties of ihe office may bo well divided between the steward and his deputy , so as not to interfere with Mr .
rarkers Parliamentary duties . The fact is , that in the present tickhnh state of things , when almost universal inbolvency is the order of the day , the Whigs have no inclination to "fork out" the needful for election expenoes . Morever , " Nap the Third / ' is not exactly the man for the Sheffield Whigs ; they have no objecHon to make a tool of the whimsical Old Colonel ; but for an M . P . he ' s a leetle" too " liberal' for the shopocracy of the " city of soot . " ilence the anxiety of the Independent that the " loss of Mt . Hugh Parker ' s services" should not bo " aggravated" by the retirement of his son . Still we-warn our Chartist
friends that tbe retirement of our present Mr . is more than probable . Should it turn out so , " we " , rhink " we" know a , man capable of vindicating tae rights of the people much more efficiently than the " Napoleon of Free Trade , " who may be forth ' coming on 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 justico to the honourable member to state the assigned : causes for the nonfulfilment of hie 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 8 et 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 above statement , but we ca-nnot avoid expressing our opinion that had Mr . Ward wished to meet his constituents , he would have found the opportunity ; " where there ' s a will there ' s a way ; " but wo gnoss 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 li freebooting" friends as to whether he would vote for " total repeal . " It would have been a question rather more unpalatable as to whether he would vote for the Charter ! Besides , poor Holberry ia not yet . uor ever shall be , forgotten .
