to j urs . Cromptcn , who was killed on the spot , her body being literally torn in piece ? , and Mrs . Crompton herself , who lost her left arm . It appears that Mrs . Ctomptcn was at the time engaged in " putting in" to oae of the calendars , for Ann Horrccks , a fen-. &le iu her employ , who had just gone to dinner ; the deceased servant came into the room to deliver a message . The room is nearly filled with the machinery . On the left of the entrance was a large waterwheel , and on the right there is the calendar at which Mrs . Crompten was employed , a narrow avenue only ii-rcrient l " cr cue per .-cn to pass , being left between them . Up to this avenue came two cogwheels , and in parsing the cog wheels tbe deceased ' s clothes were csudi : by the teeth of the lower wheel . The wheels going at the rate of twelve to fifteen
Tevotatitms in & mimi ; e , the poor creature ¦ svas instantly drawn into the hole under the wheeL Mrs . Crompton , perceiving her danger , ran to render what assistance she could , but she also become entangled . The assistance of some of the men being proenred , the whech were reversed , and Mrs . Crompton , who was found laid upon the deceased , was extricated . She was severely injured , and her left arm was torn from her body . She was conveyed home , and efforts were then made to release the poor girl . The body presented * most frightful Bpecwcle ; she was lying under the wheel ; all her clothes were torn off ; her body was literally cut in two , from the lower part to tbe head ; her entrails were torn out , and lay upon
the floor : part of her fac « was torn away , and almost eyery bone in her body was broken . One of her legs was found on the opposite ride of the wheeL The body , thus shockingly mangled , was conveyed to the Andrew ' s Arms , where an ioqaest was held the same day before the borongh coroner . Evidence of the Occurrence was given , but there was no proof of blameable neglect , exceDt that the cog-wheels might haTfl been partitioned off . The Jury found that the deceased died from Iscfrsrfons and fractares accidentally received from a cog-wheel , " stating that had it not been for the injuries received by Mrs . Crompton in trying to extricate ths deceased , they should have imposed a Terr heavy deodand on the machinery .

Atrocious Mubdsk . —It is our melancholy doty to record the circumstances of a most a : rocous and cold-blooded murder , which was committed on Sunday e \ eainglast in the neighbourhood of St . Helen ' s . The victim is a young married woman , of highly respectable connexions , and the wife of a painter who has lately been employed by Mr . A . T . Wooda ^ of St . Heien ' s . The tragedy is aggravated by the supposition that the miscreant who perpetTated the deed is her own husband . At present it woald be highly censurable to attribute so dreadful an offence to any individual until there has been a judicial investigation ; but , from what has already transpired , we are afraid the surmise above alluded to will prove a reality . So far aa we have been able to collect the particular circumstances attendant upon this
shocking event , it is found , that on Sunday afternoon the husband of the deceased went to church , and afterwards , say about five o'clock in the evening , took his wife along with him for a walk . The direction they took from the town was up the Liverpool-road ; and about seven o ' clock in the evening they called at a public-house , in Eecleston and on the Liverpool highway , where they had each a glass of rum . ^ Nothing more was seen of them in company ; bu t about eight o ' clock in the eTening the husband , whose name is Wilbrahim Buckley , went t , o the house at which he had been lodging ,, and inquired for his wife , stating that when at the top of Comb Shopbrow , nearly half a mile from St . Helen ' s , he ha : d occasion to leave his wife for a few minutes , and when he returned to where he expected to find her
she had gone , and had not since been seen by him . He made inquiries for her at other places where she was accustomed to cal ' , but lie could not fiud her , and went to bed , giving the parties with whom he lodged to understand that he imagined his wife must have gone to Ashton , where her mother lived , and he would follow her in tbeiL-orning . This siory did tot appear impobable , for his wife , whose awful end we are now recording , was very far advanced in pregnancy , and her mother , as it was known , had invited her to Ashton , there to stop for he raccouchement . Early on Monday morning Buckley left his lodgings for Ashton , and at about a quarter before eight o ' clock the body of his wife was found in a field at the top of Comb Shopbrow , with a dreadful wound irflicted in the throat—the windpipe and
veins of the neck being completely divided . Iitformation was immediately forwarded to tbe police station , when Mr . Superintendant Storey , with his officers , proceeded to the place where the catastrophe had occurred ; and the body being removed and afterwards identified , pursuit was made after Buckley to Ashton , by Mr . Storey and two other gentlemen , in Whitecbapel , and shortly before reaching Ashton the ? met Buckley along with bis father and mother travelling towards St . Helen ' s . Mr . Storey took Buckley into Whitechapel , and on reaching St . Helen's he was examined , and his shirt sleeves were steeped in blood almost up to the elbows . A knife with two blades was also fonnd in h s possession , but no stains of blood could be detected . It would be unwise to give credence to ail tbe tales which are flying about respecting Buckley ' s s ; uilt ; but a full investigation will be made to-day ( Tuesday ) before the coroner . Suspicion si presen-i * attached to eo other person but Buckley ,
but he strenuously denies his guilt , and s-tatCS that the stain upon his shirt is colouring , which ho had been using in his daily occupation . The excitement produced by this fearful cent is very great in tho neighbourhood of St . Helen ' s , and hundreds have not only thronged 'he place where tbe body lies , but as many have applied at the police-station for permission to , see the suspected criminal . If Buckley be guilty , it is supposed by those with whom he was acquainted that jealousy had been his incentive to rid himself of his partner , while it is reported that she was a very temperate and prudent woman . Sucb are at present all the particulars we can supply to our readers of this sad and horrible deed ; and how dreadful it is to contemplate that there is even a possibility of the devoted wife having fallen a . victim to-the direful malice of her husband , and that at one fell stroke he hurried his conjugal partner and her first offspring into a premature and untimely grave ' . —Liverpool Mail .
Fire and Loss of Life im Liverpool . —On Saturday evening last , about eight o ' clock , Mrs . Brown , wife of Mr-Brown , flint-glass dealer , Dalestreet , Liverpool , went down to the basement siory of the premises , a place where a quantity of straw , old crates , and lumber of all sorts was kept , with a candle ; but for what purpose is not known . Shortly afterwards she was heard to scream , and her husband , rushing to the top of . the stepladder , saw that the place was in flames . He instantly raised an alarm ; the fire police were immediately on the spot , the station being close by , but in his distraction forgot to tell that his wife wes in
the cellar , until after the engine had been playing for some time on the burning straw . An immediate search was commenced , but as sha could not be found , it was supposed she had found safety in flight . In a few minutes , however , one of the officers going to an obscure corner of the premises , there found the poor woman severely burnt . A medical gentleman being sent for , he ordered her to be stripped and put into a warm bed , and endeavoured for a length of time to restore animation , but without effect , attributing her death more to suffocation than tho injuries from the fire , which was speedily extinguished by the active exertions of the police . .

The second is a partial eolipse of the moon , in the night of Wednesday , 6 ih December , which will be visible in these parts , commenceing at eighteen minutes past eleven , and when two aigits of the lower disc of the moon will be eclipsed . The third and last is a total eclipse of the sun , early in the morning of Thursday , the 21 st December , and invisible here , but visiblsm the Chinese Empire , Hindostan , the Islands of Ceylon , Sumatra , Borneo , &c .
A Cabe ? ux Wife . —There is in the town of Barnsley a- very careful and industrious woman named Wood . She has been so careful , that although she seldom lets a day pass without using her needles , yet she is using part of the last pennyworth ehe bought twenty years ago , one of which she broke last week . She has not bought a single halfpennyworth of pins during the last for ; y years , nor has she had any given to her . A few days ago she gave her husband a severe reprimand for losing a packingneedle , which she said she had bought " nobbut four years sin . "
Murderous Assault and Robbery . —On Saturday as Mr . Sheflieldjof Churchover , batcher , was returning from Rugby market , with his journeyman and apprentice , in a cart , about eleven p . m ., the man observed as he was in the act of descending from the cart , that there were two strangers standing near the gate through which the cart was to pass . The men no sooner heard the remark , than one of them struck the assistant a violent blow with a bludgeon on his knee and face , whilst the other ascended the cart and struck Sheffield a blow on the forehead , inflicting a severe wound , and another on the crown of his head , which , it is feared , has fractured bis skull . Sheffield bad no sooner received the blow than he fell out of the cart icto the road ; the horses immediately turned round and ran awav . The
assistant , being alarmed , jumped out of the cart and was pursued by one of the assailants some distance , till stopped by his companion crying out to let him go , as he ( the s-cond robber ) "had gofc the right one . " The apprentice it is supposed , jumped out of the cart as soon as he saw his master fall , as hewas the first to reach the village and give the alarm . Mr . Twycross , one of the constables , accompanied by a neighbour , immediately went towards tho spot , and met Shtffield staggering along the road ; the latter immediately requested Ttvycross to go to the railway station atRa ^ by , and give instructions to the officers to stop any suspicious characters . After doing thia Twycross went and obtained the assistance of Inspector Stanley , an active officer in the rural police , whom he accompanied to all the disreputable
houses in the town , but without being able to obtain any clue to the party . They then went to the place where the robbery had been committed , and found one of Sheffield ' gloves . Upon looking further , they traced footsteps in a direction for Is ' ewion , a village notorious for bad characters , near Rugby , and in passing throa ^ h a spring they found the other plove ; upon reaching Newton , they went into the houses of several suspicious characters , and in one they discovered a man mending his nets , with some blood upon his elothes , for which he accounted by saying that he had been fishing . Inspector Stanley , however , at once took him into custody , and on Monday morning he was taken before a bench Of magistrates &t Rugby , when sufficient evidence was adduced to justify the Court in remanding him , and strong hopes are entertained that both . ' perpetrators of the crime will be brought to justice . Is appeared that two or three market vans had passed through two of the gates on the road leading to Churchover within
a very short time of the robbery , withoumeeting with any molestation , but upon Sheffield ' t cart coming up to the third gate it was tied ; thers is , therefore , little doubt but the robbery was come nutted by parties who well knew the hour at which Sheffield returned from market , and also that he was possessed of » sum of money . On the night in tuestion he had about £ 90 about hint , the whole of which was taken away . Upon reaching home fce was immediately bled , and Mr . Bucknell , of Rugby , surgeon , sent for ; that gentleman , with his assistants prsmptly attended , and , after dressing the wounds , re-bled the patient , who was then put to bed , Mr Bucknell has since been in close attendance , and this evening , we regret to state , that the opinion of the medical man is far from favourable as to the probable results of the injury . Too much credit cannot be given to the residents of the village , nearly all of whom , as soon as the ala ^ m was given ( half-past eleven at night ) , arose , armed and mounted themselves , and raised a hue and cry in pursuit of the villains .

HiGHTFAr Robbervnfab Manchester . —During the last fortnight or three weeks , several highway robberies have been committed and others attempted on or pear the New StretfOrd and Stretford Roads , generally attended with violence ; but we have seldom known one so daring , or accompanied with ' . ' so ' . many proofs of reckless brutality ,-aa the one we are about to record . On tbe evening of Friday week , the 18 th inst ., between eight and nine o ' clock , Mr . Howarth , flour dealer , Shttdehill , was proceeding on horseback to his residence near Stretford , when he observed , while passing St . George ' s Church ; Hulme , that several men ; were lollowing him . Suspecting nothing , however , he continued on his way , through the Cornbrook toll-bar s the men still" following him ; and shortlv after he had passed the
Northumberland Arms Inn , while he was riding slowly along , they made a rush at him , and one of them seized the bridle of the horse , whilst the others attempted to pull him to the ground . * He called out " Murder ! " and" Stop thief ! " and an old man , named Henry Harrop , a carrier , from Bowdon , hearing his cries , ran up immediately to : his assistance . The moment , however / that Harrop went up , he was knocked down by one of the robbers , wiih a heavy bludgeon ; : and while in a state of insensibility on the ground , he was robbed of a purse containing four sovereigns aud some silver . The next person who came up was Joseph Gratrix , a waiter at the Northumberland Arms ; and he also was knocked down , theiilow rendering him for some time insensible . By this time a general alarm had
been given at the . Northumberland Arms ; and a number of people came out , which caused the robbers to run off towards the toll . bar , before they had succeeded in robbing Mr . Howarth . They were pursued for some distance by Mr . Barber , landlord of the above inn , and other persons ; but they effected their escape . Information of the robbery was , of course , immediately communicated to the police , and Superintendent Taylor caused every inquiry to be made likely to lead to the detection of the thieves . About nine o ' clock on Sunday evening , in consequence of some intelligence he received , he proceeded , in company with Inspector Lerry , to a beer-house kept by Samuel Nixon ; in Lord-street , Hulme , where he found three men of suspicious character , named William Rogerson , Richard Painter , alias Marriott ,
and Timothy Tomlinson . He ascertained from the j landlord , that Rogersari had gone there about five o'clock that evening ; and had placed an old-fashioned j watch , three sovereigns , and ten shillings in silver , ' in his ( the landlord ' s ) possession , to take care of . ' On the officers asking Rogcrson what account he ¦ j had to give of the : money , he said , ' What do you want to know for ! I shall no ; , tell you anything about it . Doyour best ; and when you ' ve done all I you can , then I'll tell you . " Roserson was then taken into custody ; but the other two men were nut apprehended at that time . In the course of ntxi day , hov / cver , further-information was received , which caused the police to search for them ; and-one of them was appreheuded on Monday , and the other on Thursday morning last . The two . prisoners then
apprehended were brought up before Mr . Maudo * at the New Bailey , and ' the charge was stated ; but Harrop was unable to attend , in consequence of the severe injury he had received , and the prisoners wore therefore remanded . . i Accident afd Miraculous Escape o » Lives . — An accident happened on . Wednesday morning last , ' at the premises formerly occupied by the owner ,, J . P . Park , Esq ., cottou manufacturer , Withnell , j tituate in Edward street , Friargate , in this town , but for some time past tenanted by the present occur I pier , Mr . Samuel Jones , iron and brass founder , and steam-loom manufacturer , whioh might have proved of a very fatal character . About ten o ' clock j in the morning , as the workmen were following their i usual employment ( no warning haying previously ]
been given ) , all on a sudden tho roof and walls' of the premises fell in with a crash , burying the whole of the workmen employed under the ruins ; but we are happy to say , " that the whole of the people employed escaped with , their li yes , owing to the very peculiar and sloping way in which , the roof fell ; otherwise the whoje ^ of them must , in all probability , have instantaneously perished . As sooii as possible , the poor creatures were extricated from their very perilous situation , and . conveyed , with all possible haste ! , ' to the house of Mr . ! Westby Walker , surgeon , who promptly and humanely dressed their numerous wounds , and otherwise rendered them that assistance their complicated cases required , several of them having received very severe sprains , puts , and bruises . We are giad to learn that they are favourably progressing .- ^ -iVefi / ow Chronicle .
High-way Robbery at Newton-Heathj near Manchester . —On Monday last , at t ! ie New Bailey , the following prisoners 'were brought up , charged with robbing . Dr . Je ' rrold , of GreenhWys : —Robert M'Clemon , John Jackson , John Balfe , John Thompson , William Proylsden , and Janws Ward . It appeared , that , on the afternoon oi" the 17 th instant , about four o ' clock , Dr . Jerrold was proceeding along Hulme Hall-lane , sometimes called Hyde High * Hall-Jane , near Newton Heath , when he was met by a party of men , one of whom took him by the arm , and said he wished to accompany him ; shortly after , another came up to him , and began to rifle his pockets . Seeing them intent oni robbing him , he assisted them , withdrawing from his pocket his watch , and all the dash that he had , amounting to between
nine and ten shillings . Whilo rifling his pockets , one of them struck him with a heavy piece of wood on the head ; another stood at- some distance , with a spade in hia hand , apparently looking on , though evidently connected with the party . He ( Dr . Jerrold ) said , that , if they did not ill use him , he would not make any alarm ; on which , the party who first accosted him , and who appeared to be the leader of the gang , prevented the others from further assailing hiih ,. ' The blow ; he received was not a very severe one , but such as for a short time to confuse him . The prisoner M'Clemon was placed in front of the bar , and Dr . Jerrold was asked if he knew him ; he ( Dr . Jerrold ) said he did , and he much , regretted to say so ; he . would sooner have assisted him if in want , than appear against
him ; he was the person who first accosted him , and took hold of his arm , and prevented the others from ill using him after he had been struck . At the time 14 'Clemou accosted him , he wore -a white shooting jacket , which made him appear somewhat different to what he did then ; he ( M'Clemon ) being dressed in ayelveteen coat when brought up . Police-officer Fletcher stated , that the ¦ prisoner M'Clemon usually dressed in a white coat ; and he had other witneesea to prove the fact .-r-The prisoner said tie had ho other coat than that id which he then appeared . Mr . Bent , who defended the priaoners , cross-examined Dr . Jerrold , ' as to his being positive as to the identity of the prisoners . Dr , Jerrold had not the slightest doubt that all the prisoners were present at
the time of the robbery . When the five prisoners were first taken before Sir Thomas Potter , at the Sallbrd Town Hall , on the day after the robbery , Dr . Jerrold said he could hot speak positively as to tbeir ' being the party , ; the reason was , he did not like to behasty , though he had then little or no doubt as to their identity . Mr . B . ent argued that such evidence should not be allowed to deprive men of their liberty . No vestige of the stolen property had been found on the prisoners , except it might be said that the five shillings and sixpence was a part of it , of which there was not the slightest proof . Mr . Maude observed , that it was to bo regretted that Dr . Jerrold did not give fully his impressions at the first examination of the prisoners ; but there was little or no doubt it arose from a good ¦ motive , to get corroborative evidence ; and , notwithstanding whathad been said , Maudefelt it his to send the be
he ( Mr . ) duty case - fore a jury at the assizes . They were all committed accordingly for trial at the next assizes . ^ Singular and Fatal A « j » ent .- —On Tuesday last , ; about / eight o ' clock , William Bowerhig , ostler at Hodgkinspii's Hotel , Matiock Bath , and a man of the name of Cade , were standing on the pavement before the house of Mrs . Bown , when a quantity of snow fell from the roof of the . house and . brought down the spout from under the eaves , the end of which struck BoWering over the head and fractured his skull in a most dreadful manner . Surgical aid was immediately procured , and the poor man was put to bed . He lingered ii great pain until a little past one o ' clock on the following morning , when death put an end to his suffrings . —Derbyshire Chronicle .
State of Trade in Paisley . —By the ofiicial return issued latt week by the relief committee , it appears that ihe ' number of persons on their list , is again swollen up to 8 , 626 , being an increase of upwards of 604 since the issue of the last month . But , besides this increase in the list , we arc aware that a . great number of applicants have been off till the committee can obtain funds that will enable them to relieve themV and , in addition to the increase in Paisley , the villages orBarrhead and Kilbarchan have again broken down , and a considerable number of the inhabitants have thrown themselves on the county committee for support . In Kilbarcban about onehalf the weavers are at present idle , and the number of unemployed is daily on the increase . We have made inquiry in the best-informed quarters regarding the probable effect of the China news on the trade of Paisley ; but the parties who are most
sanguine of revival can see no prospect of improvement , but , on the contrary , a continued throwing out of of hands for some weeks to come . In Paisley the price of cotton yarn may be quoted at about Jd . per ib . higher since the news in question came to hand ; and in addition , the manufacturers' association have- sold soma 7 , 000 or 8 , 000 pieces of their goods , within the last two days , at an advance of from 5 to 7 i per cent , beyond what they could previously have obtained ; but still this advance is too little' to admit of the fcdode being replaced ; and the price they have been sold at , after paying for material and workmanship , wpuld not leave above half the necessary ^ allowance lor the wear and tear of machinery to work them even by the power-loom . — Glaisgou'Argus .

The town of Thetford , m XVortollr , nas been thrown into a state of unpleasont ferment during the last few days , in consequence of a solicitor , hitherto considered of the highest respectability , bav ^ ing suddenlv absconded , leaving liabilities incurred by him to tbTe amount , it is supposed , at the lowest , of £ 20 , 000 . He had . appointed Friday last for meeting some . very heavy mortgage accounts , and for handing over the amount for a farm which he had recently purchared , a ^ nd his non-appearance on that and tho following days led to the above unpleasant discovery . His absence has almost created a panio in the neighbourhood , as from his extensive transactions in mortgages , conveyances , and other monetary matters , it is impossible to calculate at present the extent of his defalcations .
SusPECTE * Case of PoisosiKG—On Sunday evening last , a man named John Hunter , employed as foreman in the works of Messrs . Fairbairn and Co ., engineers and millwrights , and . living at No . 13 , Walter-street , Travis-street , took somo oatmeal porridge , prepared by his wife . . •' : He observed that it . had a peculiar taste , and requested her to taste it . She tasted a small quantity , and Hunter finished his meal . Very shortly afterwards he was taken ill ; being nrest severely purged , and vomiting violently . Medical aid was called in , aud , from the symptoms ,
the surgeon suspected tbat Hunter had taken poison . The poor man continued to get worse , notwithstanding every attention and aid , and expired ou Monday evening . His wife ' s previous conduct having been somewhat irregular , it was suspected that she had poisoned him , and she was accordingly taken into custody , The police instituted inquiries ' , and succeeded , yesterday ( Tuesday ) , iu ascertaining , that about ten days ago , Mrs . Hunter went to the shop of Mr . Davies , druggist , Travis-s ; reet , and asked for two ounces of arsenic . Mr . Davies refused
to sell her the poison alone ; and she soon afterwards returned with another woman , and ho then supplied her with that quantity . Mr . Davies , on seeing Mr 3 . Hunter , identified her as the party to whom he sold the arsenic ; and he also identified the woman supposed to have gone with her , who , however , refuses to admit that she did so . The inquest on she body of the unfortunate victim is to beheld thia day ( Wednesday ) . We believe , that up to last night , no post mortem examination had been nxide ; and it is stated , that all the matter ejected from the stomach had been thrown away by tho prisoner , before she was secured . We understand that , one of the children , who had eaten somo oi' the meal of which the porridge was mado , became sick ^ and ill ; aud that Mrs . Hunter also became slightly sick after
I tasting the porridge , but not until after her husband ';? vomiting had been severe . —Manchester Guardiaiuj In addition to the above we have received the t ' oflo ' wj ing froni our correspondent , On Tuesday crening j Mr . Harrison , surgeon , made a . post mortem exarai-\ . nation of the body , and found it to be in-a state of : perfect hea'th , on removing the scalp the brain was I healthy . The stomach was inan inflamed state , such I as would be produced by taking arsenic . The i stomach was quite empty , aud all the matter ' tjected from the stomach , and the remainder of . ttie meal had been made away by the prisoner i before she was secured . Au'inquest was held on the ( body on Wednesday evening av the Bull's Head Inn , London-road , when the evidence was of such a nature as not to leave a doubt upon the mind of any
bufc that Hunter came by his death by unfair ' means . However , at the request of Mr . Harrison , who exaniined the body , ths iuquest was adjourucd until Friday morning , as by that time ho would have applied the ¦¦ .. proper tests to the contents of the stomach and bowels , and be able to say if tie .. had ; found , any poison in the body . The prisoner was then removed . The deceased had the character of a kind and affectionate husband . They have been married about ten years , and during that time Hunter has put upwards of £ 70 in the bank . Tho wife has been much given to drink , and it appears that she had taken nearly everything out of the house to pledge . The deceased was highly respected amongst his fellow workmen , and is much lamented by his employers .
Don ' t be too Cautious . —On Saturday a person from Dunfermliue Ips ' t / abont i 860 , unaer circumstances of a somewhat peculiar character . From motives of extreme caution , he bound his drawers tight rdund his ancle with a piece of tape , with the intention of placing his money inside of them , where he conceived there would be no possibility of abstraction . In depositing the money , however , he blunderingly placed it betwixt his trowsers and his drawers ; and while perambulating-. - ' the . city the treasure slipped out , it is believed , on the south side of tho river , and has not since been found . The country merchants , with ail their cnutipn , sometimes conimit odd mistakes . We recollect of a . country agent , to prevent his pocket being picked , placing £ 50 in his hat . He got into a great scufile , and the end of the matter was that he lost' both his hat and the £ 50 . —Glasgow Argusi
Wanton Crueltv . —A canary bird belonging to Georgo M'LachlaniBorland-park , near Aucliterader , was taken by his son to the bbthie of a farm where tho young man was servant to a farmer in the neighbourhood . One Sunday , last summor , a person , whose feelings wo do not envy , got access to it , and aotually put out the eyes , of tho little songster . In this dark state it was restored to its owner , who ; by careful attention , taught it to find its way to the seed-box and the water-glass . In time it became reconciled to its fate , and now it makes the cottage ring with its melodious notes . As it cannot distinguish night from day , it continues to pour its sweet warblings till all the inmates of the house are fast locked in the arms of Morpheus , when it partakes a little of the general repose , but renews its . song with the first breaking of the universal silence . — Caledonian Mercury .

London Smithfield Market , Monday , Nov . 28 . —To this morning ' s market tliero was about twentyone bead of Foreign Beasts from Portugal , and nine Sheep from Hamburgh . Of the farmer , two were of a particular choice description , and attracted ^ reat attention : their value may be quoted at 20 Kuineaseach ; the others were of good quality , and worth about-. £ 17 each ; whilst others may be given at £ 13 to £ 15 each . Altogether this consignment was . superior to many of late . In form and other particular features they resemble the Spanish breed , but are darker in colour , and easily distinguishable . The attendance of butchers was large , but more from curiosity than for the purpose of buying . The niild state of the weather contributes to limit their puychasegi whilst the-general supply was large , and
far beyond what was requisite to meet the demand . English bred Beast 3 were plentiful in . supply , and generally of a better description than for some weelcs past . The Beef tradp being naturally dull , however , this improvement . in . the quality failed to benefit the market : There were more Yorkshire and Herefords-hire breeds on sale , with a good sprinkling of prime Scots and Runts . Leicestershire Cattle were not so numerous as for many weeks lately . Some fine large Northampton Beasts sold at good prices , as al ' s'o choice boots ; but otherwise a declme of 2 d per stone for the best quality m . ust be noticed . Middling and inferior kinda were from 2 d to 4 d lower , and found a hravy sale
even at that , reduction . Many head were turned out unsold , and will bo sufficient to supply , the market on Friday next , although any beasts of a . better . quality than in general will doubtless fiud » ready sale . The demand for Mutton was dull , and the supply of Sheep being large , prices also for this description of meat were lower by 2 d . per stone . Frime Southdown Wethers sold at 4 s . 4 d ., and good Polled Wethers at 3 s . 8 d . to 3 s .. l 0 d . Polled Ewes were from 3 d , 2 d . to 33 . 4 d . Many Beas-ts and Sheep nmained on hand when , the market closed . The demand for Veal was very limited , whilst the number of calves oh " offer ; was large . No average reduction , however , in prices can be quoted . . -
