      I » KEDS . —Chxbgk of FoBaBLB Esrar . —On Monday last , Mr . Wm . Hirst , felled cloth manufacturer , apj > eared bsfore A . Titley , and Griffith Wright , Esqrs ., at the Conrt Honse . on a warrant obtained against him by Mr . Turner , of the late firm of Turner , Ogden , and Co ., machine makers , Hunslet iiHne . Mr . Kaylor , Bolicitor , appeared for the complainant . Mr , Turner , on the case being nailed on , stated that on Saturday morning , Mr . Hirst , accompanied iyfiveor ax | men , c 3 . meto bis premises , in Hnnslet Lane , and broke the Iock 3 of two doors , in order to get possession of the premises , to which he had no rifcfct -whatever . Mr . Wright inquired if there wa 3 any disputed tenant right , or if Mr . Hirst had any property on the premises , to which Mr .

      Turner replied in the negative . Mr . Turner , however , admitted to Mr . Hirst , that he ( Mx . H . ) was a tenantof 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 the jard belonging tie premisesj one through a pair of large gates , used for carts , and the other throagh the timekeeper ' s office , which had a door at each end , one leading into the yard , and the other into Hunslet Lane . It was for breaking throagh the office , where Mr . Hirst had no right to go , that compensation was sought ; the damage done amounted to ten shillings . In answer to questions from the bench , Mr . Torner said the premises bad been locked up

      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 td'feoth , the road throngh the office was the ordinary way- The bench then said they were of opinion Mr . Turner had failed to make oac his « &se , and therefore the warrant mnEt be dismissed . It was clear fhat Mr . Hirst had a right to go to his own room where he wanted to go , and it was only right that a way should be made for him . Mr . Turner then made a charge of assault against Bichard Marsden , Mr . Hirsts's assistant , under circumstances connected with the preceding case , but which , after some time was also dismissed .

      Illegally Pawmihg . —On Tuesday , a young woman named Maria Cloush , was brought before G . Wright and Bichard Bramley , Esqrs .. on a charge of having pawned a shawl which she had borrowed from a young woman named Asne Auty , a servant at the Old George Inn . and a silk dress which she had received to alter , the property of Sarah Dealtry , servant at the White Cross Inn . The prisoner had been apprehended by warrant at Dewsbury , to which place she had removed since the offence had been committed , which was in September last . She admitted the offence , and was fined £ 2 , the value of the goods , wiih 26 s . and costs in each case , or in default of payment sent to Wakefield for two months ,

      Casbiagb Hoesk Killed . —On Friday evening , a carnage horse , the property of T . P . Tcale , Esquire , surgeon , was kHied in Park-lane . Mr . Teale was out visiting patients , and sropped in Park-lane , below Park Cross stresi . During his professional visit his servant- left the horses by themselves , and havinj ; been frightened , they started off , when one of them ran with great force against the shaft of a ruEy which was proceeding in an opposite direction . The shaft entered the animal ' s stomach , and killed it on the spot . Breach of thb Excise 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 hawkiDg tobacco for sale wiufoot a licence .

      Assault on a Police Offices . —On Monday last , two men , named John Clarke and George Anguish , were fined 20 s . eacB and costs , for having committed an assault o » a policeman , at a house in Paley ' s Galleries , Mar&b-lane , on Saturday night . They went to Wakeficld for a month , rather than pay . Leeds a > t > Sfxbt Railway . —At noon on Monday , a special general meeting of the shareholders m this company , was held at Scarborough's Hotel , to andit 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 , LVq ., was called to the chair . Theinancial statement showed , ibat up to 31 st of December , there wa 3 a sum of iio . 250 , available for the payment of a dividend . ThB first motion was that a oividend of £ 2 10 s . per share , for the last half year , be paid on the 18 th of February next . The income tas to be paid oat of the reserTed fund . Other routine business was transacted , and after a vote of thanks to the chairman , the meeting which was only thinly attended , broke up .

      SrDDES L > EATH . - ^ n Monday morning , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . John Askey , the Three Horse Shoes , Headingley , before Jubn Blackburn , E ? q _ ., to enquire touching the death of Richard Abbfy . The deceased was a shoemaker , fifty-two years of age , and 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 had not sat long before he complained of a pain at his heart , and went to lie down in bed . Mr . Frobisher , surgeon , was then sent for , but before his arrival the man had died . Terdict— "Died by the visitation of God . "

      StrDDEs Deadh . —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 sration , where he insiantly 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 afier turning his coach round to return home , it Ib supposed that he fell down and expired , as he was shortly after found near the side of his hort e . Mr . Baistnck was about 46 years of age , and was highly respected . An inquest was held by Mr . Blackburn , on Tuesday evening , and a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God ' returned .

      Faial E"V £ I ? t , —On Tnesday morning , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Taylor , the Sun Inn , Hunslet , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of John Holroyd , 53 years of age , who went to the Sun Inn onSaturday eveningintoxicated ; he went upstairs and stayed there some time , taking a share with others of thre « 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 ftapor for some time ; and ultimately , died without being able to speak . Medical assistance was called in , but it was of no avail ; the opinion of the Burgeon was , that he had died from a rupture of the vessels of the head , caused by falling down stairs , and the jury returned a verdict to that effect . A ° GREEKACRE" MURDER IN LEEDS .

      On Sunday last , great excitement was created throughout a great portion of this town , by a repoit that the trunk of a human body had been taken out of the water near Knostrop ; nor was that excitement at aU allayed on the truth of the report being confirmed , carrying with it , as it did , strong presumption that a murder , equalling in atrocity those of Greenacre and Good had been committed , and that mutilation , similar to what took place in thesa sasea , had been resorted to to prevent the identity of the vic ^ n . In detailing the circumBtences uf this awful tragedy , so far as they have yet keen developed , we shall endeavour to describe , as clearly as we can , the

      exact locality of the place where the body was found , and all the attendant circumstances , with the opinion of the professional gentleman who has examined the remains , so as to give our readers an exact ides of the whole affair , -which is yet wrapped in much mystery , and which it ia greatly to be feared will for ever remain so ; lor this case , "while it presents a parallel with those of the two metropolitan murderers whose e ^ hjeb we have men tioned in the mutilation of the remains , furnishes not the slightest cine to identity , so . far as discoveries have yet been made either by the finding of clothes or of the head or extremities of the party , whoever it may have been .

      The navigation of the river Aire , our readers will be aware , is impeded by locks , but in some measure to avoid -difficulties , some years ago , a cutting was made from Knostrop fields to Thwaite Gate , at ¦ which place the river " forms an angle , and is intercepted by two or three dams or weirs . This cutting which is called Brooks ' s cut , or Knostrop cnt , is about half a mile loDg , or rather better , and is entered from the l < eeos end by flood-gates , which ate only necessary when there is a fresh in the river—at other times they are always open ; the level of the water , however , renders a pretty deep lock necessary at the Thwaite Gate eni Of course

      there is only the slightest possible current in the cutting . The cnt 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 jut , is the coal-staitb . belonging to Messrs . Fenton and Leather , for the Thorpe Hall and Waterloo collieriesT Here several eoal Tes ^ el" are generally laid , and , on Sunday memicg , two youn ^ f men , in passing one of these , saw something in the T ? 3 ter , which one of them , Joseph Austin , a dyer , residing in BrownVbaUdings , Sichmond-road , drew out , and which he found to his horror , to be the trunk of a human

      body . On having taken the body out of the water , and seen ¦ what it "wai , Austin sent tvo 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 these immediately aaid " they had better bury it , and not have anything farther to d © with it , " adding that he would fetch a apade to dig a hole . He went away for that purpose , but shortly returned , and said that some inquiry mu& be made , and he then advised Austin to g © and tell the police . Austin then , after leaving a person to take care of the body , proceeded into the town , and having met wife a policeman / he told the matter to him , and he referred him to his Sergeant

      Untitled Article

      i Bates ) who was near at hand . Bates , on hearing of the circumstance , accompanied Austin to the place , and he removed the bedy to the honse of Mr . Ltngthorn , the Robin Hood Inn , Low Fold , Bank . The news of tho finding of the body , and of its being laid at the Robin Hood , flew like wild-fire , and throughout the af ternocn and evening the house "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 Bame place . Here llr . Price , the Burgeon , first saw tht > 4 ) ody , and to use his own language , he could not te . 'l what it was ; he thonght it was a piece of burnt wood " . He eoon , however , was satisfied of the truth of the horrible discovery

      Information of the finding of the body was conveyed also to Mr . Blackburn , tho Coroner for the" borough , and facta were stated to him which led him to consider hat the place to which it had been removed was not one of sufficient security—there being nothing to prevent any party from carrying it off , supposing they were implicated in the murder , and wished to obliterate all traces of guilt ; 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 iu 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 in the opinion of the surgeon [ Win . Price , E ^ q , ) a young female , probably from twenty to twenty-live yearB of age . The fact of its being a female is proved by the breiBta , 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—rtbere is nothing bat the trunk left , and even that has beeu horribly mutilated , and even considerably burnt The head has been severed between t * e fourth and fifth vertebife and apparently with some difficulty . The right arm has been remove * at the shoulder joint , the articulation of which has evidently been at once got iato , but in taking off the left arm , a greater difficulty seems to have presented itself , and it has been done by a saw ; the lower extremities 2 iave been removed at the fourth lumber vertebiie , the bones of the pelvis , together with the abdominal viscera , being thus completely taken off

      Of course it is , under these circumstances , next to ' an impossibility to account for the cause of death . In the course of his examination , Mr . Price found thut three wounds had been inflicted on the thorax , one on the right , and two on the left side . 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 , &nd be judges it not improbable that the body may have been placed or knocked ou the fire after these wounds have been inflicted : but in the absence of the

      head , which doubtless would come in fer a large share of violence , it being impossible to suppose that where so much mischief had been inflicted it would escape , he 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 snfficient to do so . The lungs and heart remain , and are uninjured ; the liver his been partly consumed , but what remains is healthful ; the vessels of the trunk are entirely emptied of blood , which warrants the supposition that dismemberment had taken place immediately utter death .

      Of the time at whichvthe body may have been thrown into the water , it is utteriy 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 found , we are strongly inclined to the opinion that it b * d not been thrown in longer than during the night of Friday last We bflieve , and we are borne oat 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 cut Hence , bad it been in longer than the time we have mentioned it must have been seen . It was , we know , seen by ' a person on the Saturday , within a very few yards of tae 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 c-fikl meat which had been thrown overboard from some vessel . Either , frem toe stiffness of the water in the cut , would it float far from the place 5 » which it was origbi&lly 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 . Be it as it may , however , whether committed on the iand or on the water , there is no trace hitherto discovered which seems at all likely to lead a cine to the discovery of the brutal patty by whom the heart-rending deed has been oommitttd , the sickening details of which wo have endeavoured to furnish .

      The Magistrates were waited on by Mr . Blackburn on Monday morning , and by them a reward for tho discovery of the perpetrators has % een offered . The heada 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 jury , consisting of twenty persons , 'to icquire into the circumstances of the mysterious case . The Jury were sworn ' * to inqnire bow and by what means a female unknown had come to her deatb . " Ralph Markland , Esq ., oue of the borough justices , was present during the inquiry . The Jury having been sworn , The C 0 H 03 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 , arms , and legs . He was afraid that they would be able to adduce ve ^ y 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 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 , Bad made , he understood that that gentleman could not yet come to any satisfactory conclusion on the sntject , and therefore it was desirable that their inquiry should be adjourned to a future day . The only evidence that could at present be adduced was that of the person who found the bedy , and the evidence of Mr . Price , who would give them all that had reunited from his hitherto incomplete investigation . He ( the Coroner ) hed commnnicated with the

      Magistrates this day , and he believed they would take such measures as the case required , and the Jury would have evidence as to whe the female was , and the cause of her death , if such evidence could be brought forward . Some persons had blamed him for having the body removed to the Medical School . The body was first taken to the Robin Hood Inn , Low Fold , Bank , a very insecure place , and it was there placed in a stable , in which he understood some pigs were also kept . Supposing the body had been allowed to remain in the stable , if any peTBons were implicated in tbe 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 tfee sake ot 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 think that he had done right

      The Jury unanimously concurred iu the propriety of the course taken . The Jury having gone to the Medical School , and viewed tbe body , the following evidence was adduced : — Joseph AuBtin , dyer , Brown ' s Buildings , Richmond Road—Yesterday morning , about eleven o ' clock , I and another young man , named William Dile , were walking on the side of the Kaostrop 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 floating at the head of a coal boat , and there was a dead dog near it I said to

      Dile that it looked curious ; and be replied that he thought it was a piece of meat I procured a boat hook , and got the : thing ont of the watar , and it was afterwards removed to the Robin Hood public-hous& ; it was part of a human body . As Boon as we got it out , two little boys came up , and we sent them to the nearest honse , to tell what had 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 had better bury it Hb went for a shovel to bury it witfe , 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 : but 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 cf what they said , I went to the side of tbe cut at Knostrop , and there saw the remains of a body which , 1 removed to the Robin Heod public bouse . 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 publie-house , lying upon a box . At first sight I thought it was 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 animnl which bad 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 head ,

      i which was absent , bad been removed about two inches : fi . im the trunk . There were no extremities ; tbe legs had" been taken off by tbe pelvis , or hip bones . The ! arms were also absent . The remains were afterwards '; removal & >> better examination and security , to the j Medical" SckooL where I examined them very carefully . :, I found they were much charred from fire . There ' were three openings in the chest—one on the right side and twe on u *» e left , where the corresponding J ribs were ! fractured . The' bowels and a part of the liver were protruding ; the / were much corrogated and hardened from the effects of . ure . The lungs were heaithy with very ' trifliag exception , ai ^ d also the heart The back had been ' subject to less injury ; the ekin was dirty , and i showed the effects of Are , or rather smoka upon it-

      There were two lacerations upon the back , but they were only skin deep From the breasts , and the lightness and texture of the bones ,- t should say it is the body of a female . The right aim bad ken disarticulated at the shoulder joint . The left arm had been removed with some difficulty , and by means 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 . Tbe lower extremities had been removed at the loins . From the mutilated afaite 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 la to say , sufficient decomposition had not taken place to cause it to floai . The partial decomposition which had taken place from the action of fie might have that effect It is difficult to form an opinion aa to the length of time which has elapsed since the death to the present : the coldness of the water and tha 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 dpeak positively as to whether the-violence was offered before or after death . The blood vessels were empty and the heart bloodless , but the absence of blood mieht have been caused by cutting off the extremities after death . In destroying a person ' s Jife , it is very likely the head would be first

      attacked ; and tho absence of the head makes it very difficult to speak aa to tbe exact cause of death . Tbe first impression on my mind on viewing the body , was that the injury done to the cheat was inflicted during life—that the openings in the chest and the injury to the ribs had reBulted from violence and an attempt to destroy life . Tho chest being struck with some heavy instrument would fracture the ribs , and a continuation of that sort of violence would produce the openings in tbe chest , the ribs being first so much injured as to afford no resistance . There has , however , been no instrument passed into the body , as tbe internal parts ¦ were uninjured . By the appearance of the body , I should say it was a female from 20 to 26 years of age . She was of low stature ; the body from the neck to the pelvis would be rather better than twenty inches .

      By a Juryman—A sharp instrument must have been used in separating the extremities and tbe head . If the cuts had been done by a medical student , I should say Shey bad 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 Jurynian—I cannot say whether or not she was pregnant , aft 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 tho jury as to the propriety of Mr . Price making a more minute examination of tha remains , aad calling into hia 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 tho mystoriow , circumstances in which tbe case ia involved , an adjournment of the ii quest to Monday next , at ais o ' clock in the evening , was agreed to .

      Deficient Weights . —At the Borough Court , Bokou , on Monday , Mr .

Stores , who is a relative of Mr . Hesketh , cama into the shop , and took tho weights away . Mr . John Gaskeil , solicitor , appaared for the two defendants , aud , in answer to a question from him , Mr .

It , had ' never been intend d by tfce logi ^ lature thai every person having light weights should lie convicted ; a discretionary p wcr was left to the inspector , so that he mighi discriminate between ca ^ es where fraud was intended , and where it was not . Mr . Foge himself , if asked , would , no doubt , say he did not think there bad been any intent to defraud ; and it would be a hard case for Mr . Ht ^ keth to be subjected to the degradation of a conviction . —Tfio magistrates , after a consultation , said , they thought tbe case against Mr .

      London Corn ExcUange , Monday , Jan . 30 . Last week the arrivals of Wheu from our own coasts , w re on the whole , good , but mostly of inferior quality , arising from the dampness of theatmosphert . Fresh up ibis morning , coastwise and by land cari iage , and samples , the receipts were comparatively small , particularly from Essex and Kent . Tho Kampiea being sorauwhac out of condition , the very fiiiest descriptions sold at prices about equal to thos * obtained on Monday last ; but , to effect transactions in ot >> er kinds , an abatement of fully la per qr . was submitted to by the factors , and several

      larctli remained unsold at the close of business . Fordgu Wheat , owing to many of the holders demanding full quotations , was again very heavy , yefc wo can nniice no alteration in its value . Superior mailing Barley was taken at late rates , but grinding and drilling sorts might have been purchased oa < : a » itr urins . In Malt a , limited amount of business was pacing , and the prices of that article remained about stationary . The Oat trade wis aeain heavy , yet , as tho suoply was s « nal ! , lasi weck ' sfigureB were maintained . Beans and Peas move ' . l off slowly . Both town marie and country made fionr were dull , and the latter was a shade easier in price .

      London Smithkirid Mahket . Monday , Jan . 30 . —For many years past we nave not had occasion to report , such long existing heaviness in this market as duriun the pn-R < int . t-. ea . sou ; indeed , so far from any improvement b ^ ing looked forward to , the presumption is that prices have not yef seen their loweafc j > oint . A question here naturally arises as to the existing cause of such an almost unprecedented state of thi"g 3 , to which we , shall attempt to reply . If reference be made to the arrivals of slaughtered meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall markets , not only from Scotland , bu' various other quarters , it will be fuund that , for several weeks , they have averaged about 4 , 000 carcases . These immense supplies

      having , in consequence of tbeir chiefly coming to hand somewhat out of condition , from the prevailing warm weather , met a heary inquiry at extremely low figures , those who generally operate largely here as " canasers" have- purchased to a very limited extent ; hence has arisen this so much complained of dulness , eouptad with the prevailing low rates of the current y . 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 nr » t the case , we having known some thousand of carcasses of . really good Mutton to have produced no more tfiatr 2 g ¦ Id per 8 ibs . It is evident that the public only are receiving a benefit , from such

      transactions . Dullness , txcessive dullness , was again the leaoing 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 havo to intimate that not a single head has been imported , either in London , or at the out-ports , during the past week ; while wo had only two Spanish on offor this morning , and which were tamed out a fortnight since . T . ie attendance of both London and country buyers was extremely scanty , whioh caused th 1 : Beef trade to b' r-x ^ essively heavy , and the prices declined , from thoso noted ou this day se ' nnight ,

      ful . y 2 > i ptr 8 ; b-, it bring with the greatest difficulty that 4 ^ 2 > i per bibs eutila be obtained for the very prime .-it lots . Scarcely any store baasts were brought forward . Notwithstanding tho numbers of sheep wcr ¦ sotnewh . it less than on Monday last , they were more than adequate to meet the wan s ofthe butchers , and tne curreiuiiea suffered a further aba'ement of 2 vl per 8 ! bs . As a general fijjuro , 4-i per 8 ibs may be considered the Iod price , tl-ough in a few instances , sorae superior Old Downs were disposed of at 4 s 2 d . We had about 70 shorn K « nts in the pens , which went off at about 3 s 4 i per 8 Ibs . In Lambs , next to nothing waa doing , * there being only about 40 oa sale . Calves moved off -lowly , and their rates Were

      drooping . Prime small- Porkors maintained their value , but large Hojrs were purchased on easier 1 terms , with about 70 by sea from Ireland . We received from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , about 900 horned and polled Scots ; from our Northern counties , 700 sHort horns and runts ; from the Wes ern and Midland Districts , 250 short horns j runt 9 , Devons , Herefords , and Irish beasts ; from other parts of England , 200 of various breeds ; and , from Scotland , by a steamer , 90 Scots mostly polled . f » Potatoe Markets . —The receipts of Potatoes during the past week from Scotland , and various 1 oilier quart : rs , have amounted to full average sup' plies .

      SHEFFIELD . The Bank Failure . —A meeting of the creditors of Parker ' s and Shore bank Was held on Wednesday January 25 th , to hear a statement of the company ' s affairs . The proceedings were rather stormyit came out in the course ef the discussion that the pea- toning creditor made his affidavit on Friday the 13 th of January , and that consequently the coucern 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 i this * ort of woTk . The Sh' fn \ Id papers that at the outset professed to be so sanguine of the par nets being able to meet in full all demands upon them , are now chop-fallen at the issue . The general ' opinion is that something short of six shillings in the pound will probably be the dividend .

      Representation of Sheffield . —The Sucking Pj «'" Association of Sheffidd assuming that Mr . Parker must resign his seat in consequence of his acceptance of the 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 that the " Napoleon of free trade" (! !!) is the man of its choice , aDd it fully expects will also be the choice of the people . The Independent on tbp 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 . True it 13 acknowledged that the Dank failure "has most seriously affected his prospects in life . " But it is hoped that for the " sake of the town , " Mr . Parker will continue to represent Sheffield in Parliament ; the idea that because Mr . P . has accepted the office of Steward to the Court of Requtsw , he should , therefore , resign , is 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 ,

      Parkers 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 inclination to * ' fork out" the needful for election expences . Morever , " Nap the Third , " is not exactly the man for the Sheffield Whigs ; they have no objection to make a tool of the whimsical Old Colonel ; but for an M .

Hugh Parker ' s services" should not be " aggravated" by the retirement of his son . Still we warn out Chartist

      friends that the retirement of our present M-P . is more than probable . Should it turn out so , " we " , think " we" know a man capable of vindicating the 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 , boatswam-like legislative champion of Free-trade and the 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 nonfulfiimt 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 con

      sequence of the severe indisposition of the lady and the eldest daughter of the Hon . Member . " Fax 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 gujss the " peculiar state of the town" has had not a little to do with keeping Mr Ward away from Sheffield . The H « n . 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 the Charier 1 Besides , poor Holberry is not yet , nor ever shall be , forgotten .

      CARLISLE . — Robert Owen , E ? q . paid a second visit 10 this town on his return from Scotland , and delivered two lectures in il-ustfation 0 / his views , in tbe Theatre , on the evenings of Friday and Saturday , the 27 th and 28 ' -h 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 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 obtain a teacher , &c .

      proce'img 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 public meeting of the inhabitants was then called to assemble in tho village hall , Mr . Dry = d ale was again appointed chairman . Several speakersaddresse'd the meeting on religion , bigotry , modes of education , and present distressof the nation . Messrs . Martin , Rennie , and other vocal amateurs gave their valuable assistance oa the occasion . The instrumental band played several fine airs during the evening , in their usnal masterly style . The meeting broke up at half-past eleven o ' clock , seemingly much pleased with the proceedings . The trustees of the school are five in number , and the interdict was at he instance of two of them .
