iEEDS .-rCHAEGE OF FoBOBLB ESTRT . —On Monday last , Mr . Wm . Hirst , felted cloth manafactnrer , appeared before A . Titley , and Griffith Wright , Esqrs ., at tiieXJourt House , on s warrant obtained against him by Mr . Turner , of the late firm of Tnrner , Ogden , and Co ., machine makers , Hunslet i , ane . Mr , Kaylor , solicitor , appeared for the complainant . Mr . Tnrner , on the case being called on , stated that on Saturday morning , Air . Hirst , accompanied by fire or siximen , c » meto his premises , in Hnnslei Lane , and" broke the locks of two doors , in order to get possession of the premises , to which he had no right whatever . Mr . Wright inquired if there was any disputed tenant right , or if Mr , Hirst had any property on the premisesto which Mr .
, Torner replied in . the negative . Mr . Tnrner , however , admitted to Mr . Hirst , that he ( Mr . H . ) was a tenant « f one room , but contended that he had no business to go the way he did to get to that room . There were two ways of getting into theyard belonging the premises , one through a pair of large gates , used for carts , and the other through the timekeeper ' s office , which had » door at each end , one leading info the yard , and the other into Hunslet Lane . It was for breaking thronsh the office , where Mr . Birsfc had no right to go , that compensation was sought ; the damage done amounted to ten Ehfllings . In answer to questions from the bench , Mr . Turner said the premises had been locked up
smce the month of October ; when they were open , and Mr . Hirst wanted to get to his own room , both roads into tb . 8 yard were open to him , he had a right to koth , the road tbrongh 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 shonld be made for him . Mr . Turner then made a charge of assault against Kiehard Marsden , Mr . Hirsts ' s assistant , tinder cirenmstanees connected with the preceding case , bnt which , after some time was also dismissed .

A * GREENACRE" MURDER IN LEEDS , On Sunday tost , greattxeitement was created throughout a great portion of this town , bj a repo ; t that the trans : of a human body bad been taien out of the ¦ water sear Knwtrop ; nor was that excitement at all allayed on the truth of the report bein *; confirmed , carrying with it , as it did , strong presumption that a I murder , tqualling in atrocity those of Greenacre and ' Good had been committed , and that mntilation , similar : to what took place in these cases , had been resorted to to prevent the identity of the victim . I In detailing the circumstances of this awful tragedy , ¦
so far as they have yet fe « en developed , we shall endeavour to describe , as clearly as we can , the i esatt locality of the place where lhe body was found , and all the attendant circumstances , ; with the opinion of the professional gentleman who has examined the remains , so as to giTe our readers an ! exact idea of the whole affair , which is yet wrapped in j much mystery , and which it is greatly to be feared will ! for ever remain so ; for this case , while it presents a ; parallel with those of the two metropolitan murderers ' ¦ whose ij&tdcs we have mentioned in the mntilation of \ ¦ t feeremsrSE , fnmifihes not the slightest cine to identity , i so far as ditcoTerieB have yet been made either by the ' finding of clothes or of the head or extremities of the : party , whoever it may have been . I
The navigation of the river Aire , our readers will be aware , is impeded by locks , but in some measure to avoid difficulties , some ytars ago , a cutting was made from Knostrop fields to Tbwaite Gate , at which place the river forms an angle , aad is intercepted by fwo ur three dams or ¦ weirs . TbiB cutting ¦ which is called Erooka ' s cut , or Kaottrop cut , is about half a mile long , or rather better , and is entered from the Leeds end by ftooa- £ aleB , which are'only necessary when there is a frtab in ibe river—at other times they are always open ; the level of the water , however , renders a pretty deep lock necessary at the Thwaite Gate end . Of course
there is only the slightest possible current in the cutting . The cut is crossed by two wooden swing bridges , one at the Leeds end , and the other -within about a hundred yards of the . lock at the other end ; and between the last-mentioned bridge and the lock , on the eastern side of the rut , is the eoal-Btaith belonging to Messrs . Penton and Leather , for the Thorpe Hall and Waterloo collieries . Here several coal vessels are generally laid , and , on Sunday merning , two young ¦ men , in passing one of these , saw something in the w ^ J * which one of them , Joseph Austin , a dyer , residing in Brown ' s-buildings , Richmond-road , drew out , at ^ which he f onad to his horror , le be the trunk of a human
body . On having tafeen the body oat of the water , and seen what it was , Austin sent two little boys , who had in the Meantime come to the place , to fetch some persons who lived near , and three men came , on being told by the boys -what they were wanted for . One of thesa immediately said ""they had better bury it , and » ot have anything further to da with it , " addiBg that he would fetch a spade to dig a hole . He went away for that purpose , but shortly returned , and said that some 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 matte ? to him , and he referred him to his Sergeant

( Bates ) who waa near . Ba , on bearing the circumstance , accompanied Austin to the place , and he removed the b » tiy to the house of Air . Lwigthorn , the Robin Hood Inn , Low Fold , Bank . The news of tho finding of the bod / , and of its being laid at tho Robin Hood , flsw like wild-fire , and throughout the afternoon and evening the bouse : was regularly besieged . The body we believe , was laid in a stable , at the rear of the premises , and if we are not misinformed two pigs were kept in the same place . Here Mr . Price , the surgeon , first Baw tho 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 , bowever , 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 the borough , and facts were stated to him which led him to consider hat the place to which it bad been removed was not one of sufficient security—there being nothing to prevent any party from carrying it off , supposing they were implicated in the murder , and wished to obliterate all traces of guilt ; he therefore , in the evening , pave 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 the town might be more readily obtained . Mr . Blackburn mentioned this circumstance at the Inquest which was subsequently held , and the Jury unanimously concurred in the propriety of the course which the worthy Corener had adopted .
The body found is evidently that of a female , and hi the opinion of the surgeon ( Wm . Price , E > q ., ) a young female , probably from twenty to twenty-five years of age . The fact of its being a female is proved by the breisto , which have been large , and whichare . iu 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 t * e fourth and fifth vertebra , and apparently with some d . fflculty . The right aim has been removed at the shoulder joint , the articulation of which has evidently been at once got into , but in taking off the left arm , a greater difficulty seems to have j ( resented itself , and it has been done by a saw ; the lower extremities have been removed at the fourth lumber vertebra , the bones of the pelvis , together with the abdominal viscera , being thus completely taken off .
Of course it is , under these circumstances , next tn an impossibility to account for the cause of death . In the course of his examination , Mr . Price found that three woueds bad been inflicted on the thorax , one on the right , and two on tho left hide . 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 snpposes , may have been done by some blunt heavy instrument , as a fire poker , and be judges it not improbable that the body may have been placed or knocked on the fire after these wounds have been inflicted : bnt 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 , be could not say 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 . The lungs and heart remain , and are uninjured ; the liver has been partly consumed , but what remains ia healthful ; the vessels of the trunk are entirely emptied of blood , which warrants ; the supposition that dismemberment had taken place immediately after death .
Of the time at whiehjthe 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 ef the body when found , and the place where it was fonnd , we are strongly inclined to the opinion that it bud 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 , bad it been in longer than the time we have mentioned it must have been seen . It waa , we know . Been by a person on the Saturday , within a verv 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 offil meat which had been thrown overboard from some vessel Neither , frem the stillness ot the water in the cut , would it float far from the place id which it was originally dropped . We have heard it surmised that the murder may have been committed on board some vessel , and that the extremities may have been similarly disposed of in different places . Boil as it may , however , whether committed on the land or on the water , there is no trace hitherto discovered j which seems at all liksly to lead a clue to the discovery . of the brutal paity by whom the beart-rending deed has ' been commitUd , the sickening details of which we have endeavoured to furnish . j
The Magistrates were waited on by Mr . Blacfeburn on Monday morning , and by them a reward for the discovery of the perpetrators has been offered . The heads of the police also received orders to use every vigilance to unravel the mystery in which the matter is placed .
THE INQUEST . On Monday evening , at seven o'clock , an inquest was opened at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq ., and a respectable jary , 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 bad come to her death . " Ralph Markland , Esq ., one of the borough justices , ¦ was present during the inquiry . The Jnry having been sworn , The Coao'ER said , that in this case they were called upon to view the sad spectacle of the body of a female stripped of the head , arras , 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 oiiestion to be determined , would of course be the cause of death , and bow that must be determined would mainly dspeud upon the evidence of the medical gentleman who would be called before them , who would have to say whether the violence which had been offered to the unfortunate female was offered before or after death . At present , from the examination which Mr . Price , fead made , he understood that that gentluman could not yet come to any satisfactory conclusion on the snlject , and therefore it was desirable that their inquiry Bbonld be adjourned to a future day .
i The only evidence that could at present be addnced was i that of the person who fouod the bedy , and the evi-| dence of Mr . Price , who would give them all that had i resulted from his hitherto incomplete investigation . He ( the Coroner ) had communicated with the MagiB-! trates this day , and he believed they would take such measures as the case required , and the Jnry would have evidence as to vshe the female was , and the cause of her death , i { £ uch evidence could be brought tor-! ward . Some persons bad blamed him for having the i body removed to the Medical School . The body was ! first taken to the Robin Hood Inn , Low Fold , Bank ,
i i - I a very insecure place , and it was there placed in a : stable , in which he nnderstosd some pigs were also | kept . Supposing the body had been allowed to remain in the stable , if any persons were implicated in the dtath of the woman , they might , dnring the night , have i got into the stable , and taken the body a-way . He bad it removed , therefore , for tke sake of greater security , and to give greater facilities for its examination by medical gentlemen . He removed it to the Medical Schiol , because it was a public institution , and seemed to be the most proper place ; and be hoped the Jury would think that he had done right
The Jury unanimonsly concurred in the propriety of the course taken . The Jury haviDg gone to the Medical School , and viewed the body , the following evidence was adduced : — Joseph Austin , flyer , Brown ' s Buildings , Blehmond Road—Yesterday morning , about eleven o'clock , I and another young man , named William D . \ le , were walking on the side of the Kuostrop cut ; and I saw something in the water that attracted my attention . It was near the place they load boats with coals at Fenton ' s Wharf . The object I saw was floatiDg at the head of a coal boat , and tbeie was a dead dog near it . I said to
DaIb that it looked curious ; and be replied that he tboogbt It was a piece of meat I procured a boat hook , and got the thing out of tho water , and it was afterwards removed to the Robin Hood public-house ; it was part of a human body . As soon as we got it out , two little boys came up , and we sent them to the nearest bouse , to tell what bad happened , and three men came from the house ; one of these men , -when he saw -what we had got out of the water , said it was part of a human body , and we bad better bury it . He went for a Bhovtto bury it -witb , but came batk without one , and said we had better de nothing with it till eome inquiry took place . 1 dont know who the man was -who said these words ; bnt I should know him again .
Thomas Bates , sergeant in the Leeds police force—Yesterday I met the last -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 1 removed to the Robin Heod public houBe . William Price , surgeon—I have examined the body spoken of by the two -witnesses , I first saw it in a stable at Hie Robin Hood publie-house , lying Tipon a box . At first right I thought it was a piece of bnrnt wood ; I had no idea it waa a human being . I looked at it more closely , and I thought it was tbe remains of some animal which had been thrown into the canal ; but on turning it over , I found it to be the remains of a human being—most likely a female . The bead ,
which was absent , bad beea removed about two inches iVoni the trunk There were no extremities ; the legs b . vt been" taken off by the pelvis , or hip bones . Tbe an is were also absent The remains were afterwards jem . -vredj for better examination and security , to the MedL"aI School , where I examined them very carefully . I fouD"d they were much charred from fire . There were th /* openings in the chest—one on the right side and twe On the left , where the corresponding ribs were fractured . Ihe bowels and a part of the liver were protruding ; they were much corrogated and hardened from the effetts of fire . Tbe lungs were healthy with very trifliag exception , and also tbe heart . Tbe back had been subject to less injury ; the skin was dirty , and showed the effect * ol fire , or rather smoke upon it

were upon the back , but they were only skin deep . From the breasts , and the lightness and texture of the bones , I should aay it is the body of a female , - The right arm had been disarticulated at the shoulder joint , Tbeleftarm had been re- , moved with some difficulty , and ~ by nmns of a saw ; not knowing the articulation , part of the scapula or blade-bone had been removed in taking off the left-arm ; but the right-arm had been 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 state of the body , it would be difficult to say precisely how . long it had been in the water ; it might have been in several days . There was nothing particular about the , body to cause It to
float when first put into the water—that is to say , sufficient decomposition had not taken place to cause it to float . The partial decomposition which had taken place from the action of fire might have that effect It is difficult to form an opinion as to the length of time wbicb has elapsed since the death to the present : the coldness of the water and the weather might have some effect in retarding decomposition . I don't think the appearance would have been much altered if the body had been dead ten or fourteen days . The burning I should think took place after death , but I cannot speak positively aa to whether the violence was offered before or after death . The blood vessels were empty and the heart bloodless , but the absence of blood micht have been caused by cutting off the extremities after death . In destroying a person ' s life , it is 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 . The flr .-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 tbe 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 tbe riba , 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 . Tbere has , however , been no instrument passed into the body , as the internal parts were uninjured . By the appearance of the body , I should say it waa a female from 20 to 25 years of age . She was of low stature j itbe body- from the neck to the pelvia would be rather better thrai twenty ineb . es .
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 , I should say ibey had been very " lubberly" done . By the Coroner—To the best of ray opinion at present , I think she has come to her death by violence . By a Juiyman—I cannot say whether or not she 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 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 iuto his aid another medical gentleman .
Sfcveral of the jury sfgniflBtJ thefr acquiescence in the adoption of such a course ; and wishing that opportunity might be afforded for the pioduction of what other evidence it might be possible to get , bearing on the mysterious circumstances in which the case is involved , an a : ' . journnu-nt of the inquest to Monday next , at six o ' clock in ths evening , was agreed to .

Deficient Weights . —At the Borough Court , 'B olton , on Monday , Mr . Hesketh and vir . Stones , both tradesmen in Bank-street , appeared to answer summonses obtained against them by Mr . Fo ^ g , inspector of weights , &o . ; the first namod person for using deficient w ights , and Mr . Stones for having interrupted the inspector whilst in the execution of hia duty . On the 17 th instant , Mr . Fogg Went to Mr . Hesketh ' s shop to try his weights , several of which he found to be deficient Ho waa about to submit those which he deemed to be shorfc to a second test , when Mr . Stones , who is & relative of Mr . Hesketh , camo into the shop , and took the weights away . Mr . John Gaskell , solicitor , appeared for the two defendants , aud , in answer to a question from him , Mr . Fogg said , that , ia his opinion , weights might , in the course of twelve months , from common wear , lose as much as Mr . Hesketh's were
deficient . —Mr . Gaskoll contended that the jcase against Mr . Stones could not be sustained ; atiid , as to the weights being short , there could not tin ; slightest doubt exibt this had arition from thuir being worn , and that there was no intention to defraud . It had never been intended by tbe legislature ithai every person having light weights should be jconvicted ; a discretionary p wer was left to the inspector , so that he inighi discriminate be'Aveen case * where fraud was intended , and wJiere it was \ not . Mr . Fogs ; himself , if asked , would , no doubt , say ho did not thiuk there had beau auy intent to defraud ; and ic would be a hard case ibr Mr . Hesketh tio be subjected to tho degradation of a conviction . —Tuo magistrates , after a consultation , said , they thought the case against Mr . Hesketh was proved , and jthat it had been aggravated by tho weights be-ing taken away ; they should inflct a penalty o' 20 ? . with costs . The ciso against Mr . Stones was dismissed .
Dreadful Fire at Manchester . —Between ' the hours of niue and ten o ' clock on the night of Saturday last , a dreadful fire broke out at Manchester , which has tles ' . royed ^ property to the extent of between £ 14 , 000 aud £ 20 , 000 . The flames were first discovered iu the warehouse of Messrs * . Gladstone and Clayton , No . 10 , Norfolk-street , cotton-manufacturers . The moment superintendent Sawley ihad been made acquainted with the calamitous occurrence , he sent to inform M r . Rose , superintendeht of the fire-department , and proceeded to the spot with two sections of the day-duty-men . On arriving tlie . ro , he found that the flimos were bursting out through aside window on the ground-floor iu Sussex-stireet . 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 ihe building . The fire continued , however , to increase , and spread to tho upper story of the next cottonwarehouse , occupied by Mr . J . C . Eckhard , Noi 11 , Norfolk-street , which was entirely destroyed . Thence it caught the upper part of the warehouse of Mr . Andrew Hall , gingham-maaufacturer , [ No . 12 , Brown-street , which was also destroyed . The rooms underneath were much damaged by the quantity of water thrown on the fire . The ongines succeeded in getting the flames under about two o ' clock on Sunday morning , but they continued to play without intermission until seven o'clock a ^ m ., when all appr 'heusion for the safety of the
acMmning premises subsided . How the fire originated has not been ascertained , although , as usual , several ! rumours on the subject are curreDt . The whole of ) the buildings are tho property of Mr . John Hall , of Pendleton . Messrs . Gladstone and Clayton were insured in the Phcenixand Liverpool offices , and Mr . Eckhard in the Sun office . During the day , jthe scene ot the conflagration , which is in the heart of tho town , waa visited by thovisanda of the inhabitants . The fire did not spread any further . Tho military , who wore present at at early bour , left about eleven a . m . on Sunday ; and one engine o ' nly was left to play on the ruins . The adjoinirg stree . s were filled with goods which had been rescued from the flames . Several of tho articles in question were much charred and burnt .
Murder . —A few days ago , a young woman in service at Lyons set out to walk to B ^ rgoin , where her parents resided . On her way she waa ovcrrakeu by a young soldier travelling the same road . T ^ oey joined iu conversation , and a mutual confidence took place . The young woman informed her companion that she was carrying home her savings , to jthe amount of 800 f ., aud ho related his adventures witu his discharge in due fVrm . Oa arriving at ; St . Laurent , the young woman informed the soldier that she had some ' friends there , with whom she intended to pass the nitjht , but should continue her journey the next morning . Trie 6 olditr 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 that the 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 ieel some surprise as well as disappointment . At length he met two Gendarmes coming in the opposite direction and asked if they had seen his companion of the day before . On receiving an answer in the negative , ] hi 8 suspicions became awakened . Communicating these to the 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 knooksand calls for admittance . On making inquiries of the neighbours , the son of the owner of jthe house , a boy playing in the street , stated , in answer to the questions put to him , that his father was ia 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 the dead and bleeding bod y of the poor girl in his arms at the moment of laying it in the hole ho had dug . He had murdered her to secure her 800 f . He was immediately taken and committed tor trial . ;

London Corn Exchange , Mohdat , Jan- 30 . Last week the arrivals of WLeit , from our own coasts , were on the whole , good , but mostly of inferior quality , arising from the dampuess 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 sampled being somewhat 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
j arcels remained muold at the close of business . For , : gn Wheat , owing to many of the holders demanding full quotations , was again very heavy , yet we can no'ioo no alteration in it 3 value . Superior malting Barley was taken at late rates , but grinding aud distilling sorts might have been purobased on easier terms . In Malt a limited amount of business was pat sing , and the prices of that article remained about stationary . The Oat trade was again heavy , yet , as the su ;> ply waa small , last week ' sfigurcs were maintained . Beans and Peas moved off slowly . Both town made and cmntry made flour were dull , and the latter was a shade easier in price
London Smithfiild Market . Monday , Jan . 30 . — For many ytar ^ past we have not had occasion to report aueh long-existing heaviness in this market as during the present reason ; indeed , so far from any improvement being looked forward to , the presumption is that prices have not yet seen their lowest t > oint . A question here naturally arises as to the existing cause of such an almost unprecedented state of things , to which we skall attempt to reply . If reftsrenr . w 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 somswhat out of con'ditioii , from the prevailing warm went her , mat a heavy inquiry at extremely low figures , those who generally operate largely here as carcasers" have purchased to a very limited extent ; hence has arisen this bo much complained of dulnpss , 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 thousand * of carcasses ot really good Mutton to have produced no more than 2 s 4 d per Bibs . It is evident that the public only are receiving a benefit , from such
transactions . Dullness , excessive dullness , was again the leading feature here to-day . From the whole of our grazing counties , the receipts of beasts were limited , and , comparatively speaking , of very inferior quality , especially as regards the short horns from Lincolnshire . As relates to the foreign supplies , we have to intimate that not a single head has been imported , either in London , or at the out-port » , during the past weeK ; while wo had only two Spanish on off'U" tuis morning , and which weretarned out a fortnight since . Tno attendance of both London aud oountry buy « ra was extremely scanty , which caused the Beef trade to bo ex ; essively heavy , and the prices declined , from thoso noted on this day se ' nriight
fully 2 d p = r 8 : b ^ , ic being with the greatest difficulty that 4 2 d per 81 bs could be obtained for the very priciest lots . Scarcely any store beasts were brought forward . Notwith&fan . iiiig the numbers of sheep wcr- . somewhat leas man on Monday last , they were more th . tii adequate to meet the wants of the butchers , and tun currencies suffered a further abatement of 2 d per Bibs . As a general figure , 4 s per 8 ibs may be considered ihe top price , thoiigh in a few instances ^ yome superior Old Downs were disposed of at 4 s 2 d . We had about 70 shorn Ke < its in the pens , which went off at about 3 s 4 : 1 per 81 bs . In Lambs , next to nothing was doing , there being only about 40 on sale . Calve * moved off « lowly , and their rates were drooping . Prime small Porkers maintained their value , but large Hogs were purchased on easier
terms , with about 70 by sea from Ireland . We received from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , about 900 horned and polled Scots ; from our Northern counties , 700 9 hort horns and runts ; from the Was . era and Midland Districts , 250 shorthorns runts , Dtvons , Hertfords , and Irish beasts ; from other parts of England , 200 of various breeds ; and from Scotland , by a steamer , 90 Scots mostly polled . Potatoe Markets . —The receipts of Potatoes during the pa » t week from Scotland , and various oilier quarters , have amounted to full average supplies . Good parcel -j , however , are selling firmly at late currencies ; but other qualities command little attention . Scotch Reda , 59 s to 55 < per ton ; York ditto , 55- to 6 i- ; Devon ' s 50 s to 55 s ; Kent and Essex . Whites , 40 s to 45 s ; Wisbeacu , 40 a to 45-s ; Jersey and Guernsey Blues , 40 s to 5 fls ; Yorkshire Prince Regent's . 40 s to 45 s .
Borough Hop Market . —Although we ' , have had a better supply of hops , both yearlings and oldsofferin « , since our last reports , the demand has ruled tolerable steady , but without any further improvement in tho quotations .

Tallow . —The holders of Tallow generally are still anxioui sellers on the spot , and , in consequence of the delivery last week not realizing the expectations of many tho price this morning is depressed , and no doubt parcels of 50 or 100 casks might be had at the lowe-t quotation . The price for the Autumn ( 44 s 6 d to 45- ) is qute nominal . Town Tallow ia 47 a to 47 ^ 6 ! net cash .

SHEFFIELD . The Bank Failure . —A meeting of tho creditors of Parker ' n and Stvore bank was hold on Wednesday January 25 ' , h , to hear a statement of the company's affairs . The proceedings were rather stormyit came out in the course of the discussion that Lhe pavilioning 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 . The Shiffitld papers that at the outset professed to be so sanguine of the parners being able to meet in full all demands upon them , are now chop-fallen at tho issue . The general opinion is that something short of six shillings in the pound will probably be tho dividend .
Representation of Sheffield . —The H Sucking Pig ' Association of Sheffield assuming that Mr . Parker must resign his seat in conseqaenoe of his acceptance of tho office of Steward to the Court of Requests , have published a resolution recommending Colonel Thompson to tho electors as a fit person to represent Sheffield . The Iris graciously announces ttw , t 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 a 3 to the transcendent virtues of Nap the second—we beg pardon , Nap the third , — Louis Philip , as the " Napoleon of Peace , " must take precedence of the erratic Colonel . It is very evident from the Independent that our "
well-informed , pains-taking , consistent , steady , sound , and p rogressive member" means to stick to his seat as long as he can . Trne it is acknowledged that tho bank failure "has moat seriously affected his prospects in life . " But it is hoped that for the " saki of the town , " Mr . Parker will continue to represem Sheffidld in Parliament ; the idoa that because Mr . P . has accepted the office of Steward to the Court of Request ? , he should , therefore , resign , » b scouted by tne Independent , who argues that the duties of the office may be well divided between the steward and his deputy , so as not to interfere with Mr . Parker ' s Parliamentary dudes . The fact is , that in the present ticklish state of things , when almost universal insolvency is the order of the day , the
Whigs have no inclination to " fork out" tho needful for election expences . Morever , " Nap the Tlnrd , " is not exactly tho man for the Sheffield Whiga ; they have no objection io > make a tool of the whimsical Old Colonel ; but for an M . P . he ' s a leclle" too " liberal' for the shopocracy of the " city of soot . " Hence the anxiety of the Independent that the "loss of iiln Hugh Parker ' s services" should not be " aggravated" by the retirement of hia son . Still we warn our Chartist friends that the retirement of our present M . P . is more than probable . Should it turnout so , " we " , think " we" know a man capable of vindicating tne rights of the people much more efficiently than the '' Napoleon of Free Trade , " who may be forthcoming on the day of nomination .
Mr . H . G . Ward , our bouncing , boatswain-like legislative champion of Free-trade and tbe Ballot , has , for the second time , shirked his " annual account of his stewardship . " It is but justice to the honourable member to state the assigned causes for the nonfu ! fi . 'mc ! nt of his pledge . It appears , according to the Independent , that it was Mr . Ward ' s intention to have devoted Monday , January 30 th , to visiting his constituents , but this has been set aside " in consequence of the severe 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 6 ! ' the above statement , but we cannot avoid exprbssing 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 guess the " peculiar state of the town" has had not a HU ' . e to do with keeping Mr Ward away from Sheffield . The Hon . Gentleman has answered tho 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 the Charter ! Besides , poor Holberry is not yet , nor ever shall be , forgottea .
CARLISLE .- Robert Owen , Esq . paid a second visit to this town on his return from Scotland , and delivered two lectures in illustration 0 / his views , in the Theatre , on the evenings of Friday and Saturday , the 27 th and 28 * . b of January . ALVA . —A subscription school has been lately erected in tfrs spirited and industrious village , from funds raised by the inhabitants , aided by a grant from the Board of Government Education . At a meeting of the subscribers , five of their number were appointed trustees , and other fifteen elected as a committee of management to advertise for , and ob lain a teacher , &c . The subscribers agreed to hold a soiree in the school house on the 18 h current , as a means of raiging a small salary for their intended teacher . Accordingly on Wednesday evening ( 18 th ) , upwards of 250 persons met in said pohool-house , and elected William Dysdale , Esq ., Alva Mills , chairman . One of the speakers , on being called was
proceriing to address the meeting on the importance of religion , when a messenger from Sir John Hay , SheTiff Substitute of Siirlingshirej arrived , and interdicted the meeting . The Feveral 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 .
