liEEDS . —Chabgs op Poboble Esnnr . —On Monday last , ilr . Wm . Hirst , felted cloth manufacturer , appeared before A , Titley , and Griffith Wright , Esqrs ., at the Court House , on a warrant obtained against him by Mr . Turner , of the late firm of Turner , Ogden , and Co ., machine makers , Honslet l ^ ane . Mr . Naylor , solicitor , appeared for the complainant . Mr . Turner , on the case being called on , stated that on Saturday morning , Mr . Hirst , accompanied by five or si 2 jaien , c » meto Ms premises , in Hunslet Lane , and broke the locto of two doors , in order to get possession of the premises , to which he had no right whatever . Mr . Wright inquired if there wa 3 any disputed tenant right , or if Mr . Hirst had any property on the premisesto which Mr .
, Tomer replied in the negative . Mr , Tnraer , however , 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 . There were two ways of getting into tbeyard belonging the premises , one through 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 Hnnslet Lane . It wa 3 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 , Mt . Turner said the premises had been locked np
since the month of October ; 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 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 ifc was only right that , a way should be made for him . Mr . Turner then made a charge of assault against Richard Marsden , Mr . Hirsts ' s assistant , under cirenmstances connected with the preceding case , but which , after some time was also dismissed .
Illegally Pawning . —On Tuesday , a young woman named Maria Clongh , was bronght before G . Wright and Richard Bramley , Esqrs « on a charge of having pawned a shawl which she had borrowed from a young woman named Anne Anty , a servant at the Old George Inn .

The prisoner had been apprehended by warrant a * Dewsbury , to which place she had removed since the offence had been committed , which was in September last , She admiitedihe ofienee , and was iined £ 2 , the valne of the goods , with 20 s . and costs in each case , or in default of payment sent to Wakefield for two months ,
Casbiagb Hoese Killed , —On Friday , © veiling , a carriage horse , the property of T . P . T « ale , Esquire , surgeon , was killed in Park-lane . 53 r . Teale was out visiting patients , aad siopped in Park-lane , below Park Cross street . During his professional visit Mb servant left the horses by themselves , and having been frightened , they started off , when one of them ran with great force against the shaft of a rully which was proceeding in an opposite direction . The shaft entered the animal ' s stomach , and killed it on the spat . Bbeach of thb Excisb Laws . —On Tuesday last , a man named John Hawksworth was fined £ 25 and costs , or in default of payment committed to Wakefield for six months , for hawking tobacco for sale without a licence .
Assault on a Police Offices . —On Monday last , two men , named John Clarke and George Anguish , were fined 20 s . each and costs , for having committed an assault on a policeman , at a house in Paley ' s Galleries , Marsh-lane , on Saturday night .

Leeds axd Selby Railway . —At noon on Monday , a special general meeting of the shareholders in this company , was held at Scarborough ' s Hotel , to audit the accounts of the half year , to declare a dividend
and to give . power to the directors for the renewal of the mortgagees . John Gott , Esq ., was called to the chair . The financial statement showed , that np to 31 st of December , there was a sum of £ 5 , 250 , available for the payment of a dividend . The first motion was that a dividend of £ 2 10 s . per share , for the last half year , be paid on the 18 th of February next . The income las to be paid out of the reserved fund . Other routine business was transacted , and after a vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting which was only thinly attended , broko up .
Soddes DKAiH .- -On Monday morning , an inqnest was held at the house of Mr . John Askey , the Three Horse Shoes , Headingley , before John Blackburn , Esq ., to enquire touching the death of Richard Abbey . The deceased was a shoemaker , fifty-two years of age , aad had not been very well for the last week , but no medical man had attended him . He commenced his work , as usual , on Saturday morning , about nine o ' clock , but ha 4 not sat long before he complained of a pain at his heart , and went to lie down in bed . ~ H r . Frobisher , Burgeon , was then sent for , but before his arrival the man had died . Verdict— "Died by the visitation ^ God . "
Sttddes Dbadh . —We regret to state , that on Tuesday morning , Mr . Wm . Raistrick , livery-stablekeeper and hackney-coach proprietor ., in Trinitystreet , was suddenly seized with apoplexy , or with an affection of the heart , in the yard of the North Midland railway station , where he instantly died . He had been to the station with a gentleman ( Mr . E . Baines , jun . ) who was proceeding to Manchester to attend the Anti-Corn Law Demonstration , and after turning his coach round to return home , it is supposed that he fell down and expired , as he was shortly after found near the side of his borre . Mr . Raistrick was about 46 years of age , and was highly respected . An inquest was held by Mr . Blackburn , on Tuesday evening , and a verdict of w Died by the visitation of God" returned .
Fatal Etejt . —On Tuesday morning , an inquest was held at the bouse of Mr . Taylor , the Sun Inn , Hunslet , before John Blackburn , £ ? q ^ on the body of John Holroyd , S 3 years of age , who went to the Sun Inn onSaturday « veningintoxioated ; hewent up stairs and stayed there some time , taking a share with others of three pints of ale . On going away , he asked another of the company , to assist him down stairs , and he took hold of him for that purpose . The deceased however , lost his footing , and fell down three or four steps , after which he appeared quite insensible , and remained in a state of stupor for some time , and ultimately , died without being able to speak . Medical assistance was called in , but it was of no avail j the opinion of the surgeon was , that he had died from a rupture of the vessels of the head , caused by falling down staiTB , and the jary returned a verdict to that effect . A " GREENACRE" MURDER IN LEEDS .
On Sunday last , great excitement was created throughout a great portion of this town , by a repost that tbe trunk of a human body had betn taken out of the water near Knostrop ; nor was that excitement at all allayed on tbe truth * of the report being confirmed , carrying with it , as it did , strong presumption that a murder , equalling in atrocity those of Greenacre and ( rood had been committed , and that mutilation , similar to what took place in these cases , had been resorted to to prevent the identity of the viciim-In detailing the circumstances of this awful tragedy , so far as they have yet ieen developed , we shall endeavonr to describe , as clearly as we can , the
t'sact locality of the place where the body . ¦ « found , and all the attendant circumstances , ¦ srii h the opinion of the professional gentleman who has exai . "lioed the remains , so as to gire our readers an exact idea of the whole affair , which is yet wrapped in mnch 1 . mystery , and which it is greatly to be feareu will forever remain so ; for this case , while it presents a parallel \ vith those of the two metropolitan murderers ¦ whose can ies "we have mentioned in the mutilation ol tbe remaini \ furnishes not the slightest clue to identity , sb far as di " scoveries have yet been made either by the findinz of clo * ses or of t&e iea < i 0 I extremities of the party ~ whoevt * it may have been .
, The navigati " 3 ? ° ? t * river Aire , our readers will be aware , is impe * . ^ e& by locks , but in some measure to avoid difficulties , some years ago , a cutting was made from Knostrop fit Ms to Thwaite Gate , at which place tbe river forms an « tfls » and is intercepted by two or three dams or -we *»¦ Tbis cutting which is called Brooks * s eut , or Kno ^ tropxat , iB abont half a mile loDg , or rather better , and . *» ei&ered from tbe Leeds end by flood-gates , which are only necessary when there is a fresh in the river—at ot b « times they are always open ; the level of the water , 1 wwerar , renders a pretty deep lock necessary at tbe Ti / waiie Gate end . Of course current in the
there ia only the slightest ± v * BW& cutting . The cut is crossed bj l « o wooden swing bridges , one at the Leeds etfd , and tt » ¦ other within abont a hundred yards of the lock at ** » other end ; and be tween the last-mentioned brid i ' , 8 acd thB lock , on the eastern side of tbe sut , is the easJ-5 taith belonging to Messa Fenton . and Xeather , for the Thorpe Ball and Waterloo collieries . Here Bevi" « l eoal vessels are generally laid , and , onSnndaymer . 'UBg , tw © young men , in passing one of these , saw sometLtinf in the water , which one of them , Joseph Austin , a 4 fer > residing in BrownVbuildingB , Bkhmond-road , . ^ rew ont , and which be found to his horror , to be the -funk of a human
On having taken the body out « f the -Winter , and seen what it was , Austin sent two little boys , who had in the xfeantime come te the place , to fetch so TDe persons who lived near , and three men came , on beii" » g told by the boys -what they were wanted for . One . *> f these immediately said " they had better bury it , a . id not have anything further to do with it , " adding th * t he would f fetch a spade to dig a hols : He -went away' lor that purpose , but shortly returned , and add that souie inquiry must be made , and be then advised Austin to go and tell the police . Austin then , after leaving a person to take care of the body , proceeded into the town , and having met with a policeman , he told the matter to him , and he referred him to his Sergeant

( Bates ) who was near at hand . Bates , on hsarin * of the circumstance , accompanied Austin to tbe place , and he removed the beay to the honse of Mr . LengthoTn , the Robin Hood Inn , Low Pold , Bank . The news of the finding of the bod / , and of its being laid at the Robin Hood , flew like wild-fire , and throughout the af ttrnoon and evening the house was regularly besieged . Tbe body we believe , was laid in a stable , at the near of the premises , and if we are not misinformed two pigs were kept in the same place . Here Mi . " Price , the surgeon , first Bawthe 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 the finding of the body was conveyed
also ; to Mr . Blackburn , the Coroner for tbe borough , and facts were stated to him which led him to consider bat 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 obliterata all traces of guilt ; he therefore , in the evening , gave orders for the removal of the body to the Medical School , not only as a place of perfect safety , but in order that the opinions of the professional gentlemen of tbe 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 tbe worthy Corener had adopted .
The body found is evidently that of a female , and in the opinion of the surgeon ( Wm . Price , Etq ., 1 a young female , probably from twenty to - ; twenty-five years of age . The fact of its being a female is proved by the bre ^ sta , 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 horribly mutilated , and even considerably burnt . The head has been severed between tee fourth and fifth vertebise . apparently with some difficulty . The right arm has been removed at the shoulder joint , the articulation of which has evidently been at once got into , but in taking off the left aim , a greater difficulty seems to have presented itself , and it has been done by a saw ; the lower extremities have been removed at the fourth lumber vertema , the bones of the pelvis , ; together with tbe abdominal viscera , being thus completely taken off
Of course it is , under these circumstances , next to an impossibility to account for the cause of death . In the course of his examination , Mr . Price found that three wounds had been inflicted on the thorax , one on the right , and two on the left fdde . Six of the ribs had also been fractured on one side , and two on the other , corresponding with the wounds in the thorax ; and these , Mr . Price supposes , may have been done by some blunt heavy instrument , as a fire poker , and he judges it not improbable that the body may have been placed or knocked on . the fixe after these wounds have been inflicted : but in the 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 could not Bay whether these injuries to the thorax and the ribs had actually caused death , though there was a probability that they would have been sufficient to do so . Tbe lungs and heart remain , and are uninjured ; the liver has been partly consumed , but what remains is healthful ; tbe vessels of tbe trunk are entirely emptied of blood , which -warrants the supposition that dismemberment bad taken place immediately after death .
O ! the time at which £ tbe body may have 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 ot the body when found , and the place where it was found , we are strongly inclined to the opinion that it bad not been thrown in longer than during the night 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 the moment it was thrown in to the time it was taken out . Hence , had it been in longer than tha time we have mentioned it mnst 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 , frem the stillness of the water in the cut , would it float far from the place in which it was originally dropped . We have heard it surmised that the murder may have been committed 00 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 land or on the water , there is no trace hitherto discovered which seems at all likely to lead a due to the discovery of tbe brutal party by whom the heart-rending deed has been committtd , tbe sickening details of which we have endeavoured to furnish .
The Magistrates were waited on by Mr . Blackburn on Monday morning , and by them a reward for the discovery of tbe perpetrators hO 3 been offered . Tbe heads of the police also received orders to use every vigilance to unravel the mystery in which tbe matter ia placed .
THE INQUEST . On Monday evening , at seven o ' clock , an inquest was opened at tbe Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq ., and a respectable gory , consisting of twenty persons , to inquire into the circumstances of the mysterious case . The Jury were sworn " to inquire how and by what means a female unknown had come to her death . " Ralph Marklsnd , Esq ., one of the borough justices , was present during the inquiry . The Jury having been sworn , The Cokoneh said , that in this case they were called upon to view the sad spectacle of tbe body of a female stripped of the head , arms , and legs . He was afraid that they would be able to adduce 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 the cause of death , and how that must be determined 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 been offered to tbe unfortunate female was offered before or after death- At present , from the examination which Mr . Price , had made , he understood that that gentleman could not yet come to any satisfactory conclusien on the subject , and therefore it wm desirable that their inquiry should be adjourned to a future day . The only evidence that could at present be addnced was that of the person who found the bedy , and the evidence of Jlr . Price , who would give them all that had resulted from his hitherto incomplete investigation He ( tbe Coroner ) bad communicated with the
Magistrates this day , and he believed they would take such measures as the case required , and the Jury would have eridence as to who the female was , and tbe cause of her death , if such evidence could be brought forward . Some persons had blamed him for having tbe body removed to tbe Medical School . Tbe 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 the body had been allowed to remain in the stable , if any persona were implicated in the death of the woman , they might , during the night , have got into the stable , and taken the body away . He had it removed , therefore , for the 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 would thick that he had dona right
Tbe Jury unanimously concurred in the propriety of the course taken . Tbe Jury having gond to tbe Medical School , and viewed tha body , the following evidence was adduced : — Joseph Anstin , dyer , Brown ' s BaildtngB , Richmond Road—Yesterday morning , about eleven o ' clock , I and another yonug man , named William X > aies were walking on the side of the Knostrop cut ; and I saw something in tha "water that attracted my attention . It was near the place they load boats with coals at Fenton ' s Wharf , The object 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 curious ; and ba replied that be thonght it was a piece of meat I procured a boat hook , and got the thing ont of tbe water , and it was afterwards removed to the Robin Hood public-house ; it was part cf a human body . As soon as we got it out , two little boys came up , and we Bent them to the nearest house , to tell what bad happened , and three men came from the house ; one of these men , when ; be saw what we had got out of the water , said it was part ot a human body , and we had better bury it Ho went for a shovel to bnry it with , but came back without one , and said we had better de nothing with it till some inquiry took place . I don't know who the man was who said these words : bnt I Bbould know him again .
Thomas Bates , sergeant in the Leeds police force—Yesterday I met the list witness , and a young man named Dale , and one of our policemen ; and in consequence of what they said , I went to the side of the cut at Knostrop , and there saw the remains of a body which I lemoved to tbe Robin Heod public house . "William Price , surgeon—I have examined the body spoken of by the two witnesses . I first saw it in a stable at the Robin Hood public-house , lying upon a box . At first right I thought it waa 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 en turning it over , I found it to be the remains of a human being—most likely a female . ; The head ,
which waB absent , bad been removed about 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 much charred from fire . There were three openings in tbe chest—one on the right side and twe on the left , where the corresponding ri ? w were fractured . The bowels and a part of the liver were protruding ; they were much corrogated and hardened from the effect * of fire . ThelungB were healthy with very trifling exception , and also tbe heart The back had befu subnet to less injury ; the sMn was dirty , and sho \? 8 d the effects of fire , 01 rather smoke upon it

There were two lacerations upon the back , but they were only nkin deep From the breasts , anrt the lightness and texture of the bones , I should say it is tbe body of a female . The right arm had been dlsarticulated at the shoulder joint . The left arm hud been removed with some difficulty , and by-means of a saw ; not knowing the articulation , part of the scapula o ? blade-bone had been removed in taking off the left-arm ; but the right-arm had bpen well removed . I should say they were not removed by a person accustomed to dissection . The lower extremities had been removed at the loins . From the mutilated Btate of the body , it would be difficult to say precisaly how long ifc had been ia the water ; it might have been in several days . There was nothing particular about the body to causfe it to float when first ut
pinto the water—that is to say , sufficient decomposition had pot taken place to cause it to float . The partial decomposition which bad 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 hat elapsed since the death to the present : the coldness of the water and the weather might have some effect in retard ^ ing decomposition . I don't think the appearance would have been much altered if the body had been dead ten or fonrteen days . The burning I should think took place after death , but I cannot apeak positively as to whether the violence waa offered before or after death . The blood vessels were empty and the heart bloodless , but the absence of blood intent have been caused by cutting off the extremities after death . In destroying a person ' s life , it ia very likely the head would be first
attacked ; and the absence of the head makes it very difficult to speak as to the exact cause of death . Tbe fir « t impression on my mind on viewing the body , was that the injury done to' the chest was inflicted during life—that the openings in the chest and the injury to the ribs had 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 tbe openings in the chest , the ribs being first so much injured as to afford no resistance . There has , however , been no instrument passed into the body , as the internal parts weie uninjured . By the appearance of the body , I should say it was a female from 20 to 25 seaiB of age . She was of low stature ; the body from the neck to tbe pelvis would be rather better than twenty inehes .
By a Juryman—A sharp instrument must have been uaed in separating the extremities and the head . If the cuts had been done bya medical student , I should say they 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 she was pregnant , all the parts being removed . By the Coroner—I cannot tell what waa the colour of her hair ; there was no hair on any part of the 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 bis 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 mysterioub circumstances in which the case ia involved , an adjournment of the inquest to Monday next , at six o ' clock ia the evening , was agreed to .

SHEFFIELD . The Bank Failure . —AJ meeting of the creditors of Parker ' s aud Shore bank was held on Wednesday January 25 th , to hear a statemeut of the company ' s affairs . The proceedings , were rather stormyit came out in the course of the discussion that the petitioning creditor made bis affidavit on Friday the 13 th of January , and that consequently the concern was realJy 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 . The Shcfiuld papers that at the outset professed to be so sanguine of the partners being able to meet in fall 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 op 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 the transoendent 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 , sound , and progressive member" means to stick to his seat as long as he can . True it is acknowledged that the bank failure "has most seriously affected his prospects in life . " But it is hoped that for ihe " 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 Bequests , he should , therefore , resign , is . scouted by tne Independent , ; who argues'thai the jdtfties of tbe office may be well divided between the steward and his deputy , so as not to interfere with Mr . Parker ' s Parliamentary duties . 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 inclinatiou to " fork out" the needful for election expenoes . : Morever , " Nap the Third , " is not exactly the . inan 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 shopocraoy of trie " city of soot . " ilenoe the anxiety of the Independent that the $ k loss "« f 'Mr . Hugh Parker ' s services" should not * be ^ aggravated" by the retirement of hi ? son . Still we warn our Chartist friends that the retirement of our present M . P . is more than probable . Should I it turn out so , " we " * think " we" know a man capable of vindicating the rights of the people much , more efficiently than the * Napoleon ofLFree Trade / ' who may be forthcoming on the day-of nomination .
Mr . H . Cr . 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 bat justice to the honourable member to state the assigned causes for the nonfulfilment 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 con : sequence of the severe indisposition of the lady and tke eldest daughter of the Hoii . 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 cannot 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 we 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 . " It would have been a question rather more unpalatable as to whether he would vote for tbe Charter ! Besides , poor Holberry is not yet , nor ever shall be , forgbttea .
CAELISLE . — Robert Owen , Esq . paid a second visit to this town on his return from Scotland , and delivered two lectures in illustration of his views , in the Theatre , on the evenings of Friday aud Saturday , the 27 th and 28 th of January . ALVA . —A subscription school has been lately erected in this spirited and industrious village , from funds raised by the inhabitants , aided by a grant from the Board of Government Education * At s meeting of the subscribers , five of their number were appointed trustees , and other fifteen elected as a committee of management to advertise for , and obtain a teacher , &c . The subscribers agreed to hold a Boiree in the school house on thje 18 h current , as a means of raising a small salary ; for their intended teacher . Accordingly on Wednesday evening ( 18 th ) , upwards of 250 persons met in said sohool-house , and elected William Dysdale , Esq ., ; Alva Mills , chairman . One of the speakers , on being called was
proceding to address the meeting on the importance of religion , when a messenger from Sir John Hay , Sheriff Substitute of Stirlingshire , arrived * and interdicted the meeting . The several speakers were also served with interdicts prohibiting those from addressing any meeting in said -school-house . The Chairman on reading the interdict , dissolved the meeting . A publio meeting of the inhabitants was then called to assemble in the village hall » , Mr . Drysdale was again appointed chairman . Several speakers addressed the meeting oh religion , bigotry , modes of education , and present distress of the nation . Messrs . Martin , Rennie , and other vocal amateurs gave their valuable assistance oaithe occasion . The instrumental band played several fine airs during the evening , in their usual masterly style . The meeting broke up at half-past eleven o'clock , seemingly . much pleased with the proceedings . The trustees of the school are fire in number , and the interdict was at he instance of two of them .

Loss of the Jane , of Plymouth . —Among the casualties of the late storm is to be recorded the loss of th « schooner Jane , John Steveus master , belonging to the port oi Plymouth .

day to the present time it has pleased an overruling Providence to withold all intelligence of the illfated schooner ; the probability is , that she foundered with all her crew at sea .

The United States and China . —President Tyler sent , on the SOth Deo . a communication to the House of Representatives , recommending negooiationB to be entered into with the Chinese Government , to secure for the commerce of the United States the same advantages as will be enjoyed by Great Britain , by the ceding of the four ports and the possession 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 , thO value of the exports from the United States amounted to 715 , 000 in domestic produce , and 485 , 000 dollars in foreign merchandise .
Deficient Weights . —At the Borough Court , Bolton , on Monday , Mr . Hesketh and Jir . Stones , both tradesmen in Bank-street , appeared to answer summonses obtained against them by Mr . Fogg , insnector of weights , &c ; the first namejtl person for using deficient w .-ights , and Mr . Stones for having interrupted the inspector whilst in the execution of his duty . On the If th instant , Mr . Fogg went to Mr . Hesketh ' s shop to try his weights , several of which he found to bo deficient . Hewasjabaut to submit those which he deemed to be short to a second test , when Mr . Stones , who is a relative of Mr . Hesketh , came into the shop , and jtook the weighteaway . Mr . John Gaskell , solicitor , appeared for tbe 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 as much ss 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 tojdefraud . It had never been iatendod b y tke legislature that every person haying light weights should j be convicted ; a discretionary power was left to the inspector , so that he might discriminate between cases where fraud was intended , and where it was not . Mr . Fogg 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 . Heaketh to bo subjected to the degradation of a conviction . —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 iufiiot a penalty of 203 . with costs . The case against Mr . Stones was dismissed .
Dreadful Fibe at Manchester . —Between the hours of nine and ten o ' clock on tho night ot' Saturday last , a dreadful fire broke out at Manchester , wh ' wh has destroyed tproperty to the extent of between £ U , 000 and £ 20 , 000 . The flames were first discovered in the warehouse of Messrs . Gladstone and Clayton , No . 10 , Norfolk-street , cotton-manufacturers . The moment superintendent Sawley had been made acquainted with the calami-tons ] occurrence , he sent to inform Mr . Rose , superintendent of the fire-department , and proceeded to the sppt with two sections of the day-duty-men . On arriving there , he found that the flames were barsting ^ 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 Ipa the building . The fire continued , however , to increase , and spread to the upper story of the next pottonwarehouse , occupied by Mr . J . C . Eokhard , No . 11 , Norfolk-street , which was entirely destroyed . Thence it caught tbe upper part of the warehouse of Mr . Andrew Hall , gingham-manufacturer , 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 bucceeded in getting the flames under about two o'clock 011 Sunday morning , but they continued to play without intermission until seven o ' clock a . m ., when all apprehension for the safety of the
adjoining premises subsided . How the fire originated has not been ascertained , although , as usual , several rumours on the subject are current . Tne wholefof the buildings are the property of Mr . John Hall , of Pendleton . Messrs . Gladstone and Clayton were insured in the Phceoix and Liverpool offioes , arjd Mr . Eckhard in the Sun office . During the day , the scene or the conflagration , which is in the heart of the town , was visited by thousands of tho inhabitants . The fire did not spread any further . ; The military , who were present at at early hout , left about eleven a . m . on Sunday ; and one engine only was left to play on the ruins . Tne adjoining streets were filled with goods which had been rescued from the flames . Several of the articles in question were much charred and burnt . I
Muuder . —A few days ago , a young woman in service at Lyons set out to walk to Burgoin , where her parents resided . Ob her way she was over-taken by a young soldier travelling the same road . tThey joined in conversation , and a mutual confidence * took place . The young woman informed her companion that she wa ^ carrying home her savings , to the amount of 800 f ., and bo related his adventures , with his discharge in due form . Oa arriving ajb St . Laurent , the young woman informed the soldier that she had some friends there , with whom she intended to pass the night , but should continue her journey the next morning . Tne soldier also determined to stop , and promised to call for her at an appointed hourand escort her to her home . At daybreak he
, knocked at the house where he left her , and was answered by a man inside , who informed him j that tbe young woman had taken her departure a few minutes before . Anxious to overtake her , and show his gallantry , the soldier j 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 arid asked if they had seen his companion of tke day before . On receiving an answer in the negative , his suspicions became awakened . Communicating these to the Gendarmes , they desired he would return
with them to Si . 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 Bon of the owner of the house , a boy playing in the street , stated , in answer to tbe questions pat to him , that his father was in the cellar digging a bole 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 ! and bleeding body of the poor girl in his arms at the moment of laying it in the hole he had dug . He had murdered her to secure her 800 f . He was immediately taken and committtd for trial .

London Corn Exchange , Monday , Jan . 30 . — Last week the arrivals of Wheat from our own coasts , were on the whole , good , bnt mostly of inferior quality , arising 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 samples being somewhat out of condition , the very finest descriptions sold at prices about equa ! to those obtained on Monday last ; but , to effect transactions ia other kinds , an abatement of fully Is per qr . was submitted to by the factors , and several
parcels remained unsold 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 grind iug aud diBtilling sorts might havu been purchased oa easier terms . In Malt a limited amount of bustHesa 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 w ^ re maintained . Beans and Peas moved off slowly . Both , town made and cauntry made flour were dull , and the latter was a fhade easier in price .
London Smithfield Market . Monday / , Jan . 30 . —For many years past we have not had occasion to report such long-existing heaviness in this market aa 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 stall 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 be 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 , mot a heavy inquiry at extremely low figures , those who generally operate largely ht re as " oarcasers" have purchased to a very limited extent ; 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 advantagemi .- 'ly to their pecuniary interests ; but such , we b ^ 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 id per 81 bs . It is evident tha , t the public only are receiving a benefit from sueh . 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 , wo have to intimate that not a single head has been imported , either in London , or at the out-ports , during tho past week ; while wo had only two Spanish on offer this morning , and which were turned out a fortnight since . The attendance of both London and oountry buyers was extremely scanty , which / caused the Beef trade to be excessively heavy , and th * prices declined , from those noted ; on this day se ' nnight , fully 2 d per 8 ibs , it being with the greatest difficulty that 4 s 2 d per 81 bs could be obtained for the very primest lots . Scarcely any store , beasts were bronght
forward . Notwithstanding the numbers of sheep were somewhat less thau on Monday last , they were more than adequate to meet the wants of the butchers , and tne currencies' suffered a further abatement of 2 d per 81 bs . As a general figure , 4 s per 81 bs 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 . In Lambs , next to nothing waa doing , $ there being only about 40 oa sale . Calves moved off slowly , and their rates were drooping . Prime small Porkers maintained th » ir value , but large Hogs were purchased on easier terms , with about 70 by sea from Ireland . We received from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and
Cambridgeshire , abont 900 horned and polled Scots ; from our Northern counties , 760 short horns and runts ; from the Western and Midland Districts , 250 short horns runts , Devons , Hereford ? , and Irish beasts ; from other parta 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 . Scotch Reds , 50 s to 55 * per ton ; York ditto , 003 to 60 s ; Devons 503 to 553 ; Kent and Essex . Whites , 40 s to 45 s ; Wisbeach , 40 s to 45 < ; Jersey aud Guernsey Biues , 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 yearlings and olds , offering , since our last reports , the demand has ruled tolerable steady , but without any further improvement in the quotations . The following are the preseparates : —East Kent , pockets , £ 5 10 s to £ 6 15 s ; Do . iu bags , £ 5 5 s to £ 6 5 s ; Mid Kent , in pockets , £ 5 8 s to £ 6 83 ; Do . in bags , £ 4 10 s to £ 5 £ 10 s ; Sussex , £ 4 4 s ro £ 5 8 s ; Farnhams £ 8 8 ato £ 10 10 s ; Old Hops , £ 3 5 a to £ 4 4 s . Tallow . —The holders of Tallow generally are still anxious sellers on the spot , and , in consequence of tha delivery last week not realizing the expectations of many the price this morning is depressed , and no doubt parcels of 50 or 100 casks might be bad at the lowest quotation . The price for the Aufcum n ( 44 s 6 d to 45 s ) is qaite nominal . Town Tallow is 47 a to 47 s fid netca /) h .
Wool Ma . rke . ts—We have had a very limited amount of business doing in Wools of late , without any publio sales being announced . Tfte imports in the wvek have been 2 , 040 packages , mostly from our colonies . Barnsley . —The state of Trade , her « , gets worse every day , and with ic the sufferings of the people . Richmond Corn Market , Saturday , Jan . 25 th . —We had a plentiful supply of Grain in our market to-dsy , but the sale , as stated last week , still continues dull . Wheat sold from 5 s 3 d , to 6 s 6 d . Oats 2 s to 2 d lOd . Barley 3 i 6 < I , to 3 s 9 d . Beans 3 s 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 .

As to prices they are in favour of the buyer , though perhaps not id since Friday . Liverpool Corn Market . Monday , Jan . 30 . — During the last seven days we have had' moderate
arrivals of Wheat , Flour and Oatmeal from Irelasd , and of Malt coastwise ; the imports of Grain , &o . are otherwise of small amount . Throughout the week the trade nas ruled dull ; 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 bassince been of a most limited character , but , nominally , we make no further change in our quotations .
