In the nub-district of St. J:mnes. - Cierktr.well, an errand boy, ared 18 years, 'lied on the 13th March of "typhus, diarrhoea." Mr. Tahaeli, the medical arendant of this case, has addressed the following letter to Mr. Western, the regis:rar " I deem it my Catty to eel: your attention to a • of fever terminating in death +hien has occurred at 16, Albert-place, Red Lion-yard, Bed Lion-street, in your district. 1 must state that 1 Lave under my care a young brother of the decemetl, who has had a severe attack of malignant scarlet fever, and was molting . a /00.1 recovery, but fur :If hot day or IMO has been in n precarious state. Although daily visit ing •he house, it was salt' eight hours before death took: piste that 1 was requested to Csit the deceased, Wil:iiant L adbitter, whom I found moribund in the last stage a f thus &var. The pint to which it is desirable at tetanus should be directed a the condition of the premises. They arc filthy in the eatreme, and to aggravate matters the family is not addicted to over cleanly habits. 1 have heard t'..' inhabitant. of tic yard com;.ia.n loudly of the aos,uss alluvia emitted from the drains running (as I un derst.sad; underneath the doors of the houses. The pri vies of tat of theca communicate : at least in the cue of the I. ..1610 above alluded to the Lightish of its neighbour was a source of annoyance. The noose, No. 13, is a two roomed one, and in the upper room the family slept, talcs r, mother , and .6 children, • in all, tall its munber was saluted to h by the death of the son referred to. The sleeping capacity of the room is cerainly only one third, if I indeed so much, of the requisite aceostraodation. The roof freely admits the rain ; the few square feet of surface city°. ilte the tvoisei may be said to be nothing better than an embryo dunghill. and a collar in an adjoining house appears to be seed as • dustbin. since writing the above I have learnt that the whole of tne family haa been affected more or less with throat symptoms." At the workhouse, Saint George-in-the-East, the wife of a real-whipper, aged 30 years, died of typhus. Mr. \Correll, the registrar, adds :—" According to the: state ment of the medical attendant, the daughter of deceased died last week of fever; 3 children were removed last week from the haute (19 Bayniond-place) to the Fever Hospital, and 3 ether children living upstairs are now suffering 11.0111 fever. The house is a very o.d one, end the room which the deceased and her family inhabited was very small, low roofed, and leading into a o'rty sloppy yard, the surface of watch I. ocassiderably higher titan the room." At S, Omen-street, Bedtord-row, Holborn, on 19th Mares, the on of an optician, aged one year, died of " dy sentery (14 days), coevails,ons (one hoar)." Mr. Good hugh, the registrar, adds:—" According to the informa tion of the mother, certified by the medical attendant, the death of th.. child is entirely owing to the effluvium arising from the drain and common sewer, and which at times beyond endurance." Twelve deaths were regiA. red in the week that occurred in the Loudon Fever 11»pital, Ishagton, three of which took place on the 17th March, two on the 19th, one on the 21at, one on the 22nd, one on the 23rd, two on the 24th, one on the 25th, and one on the 26th; three were caused by Keelson', one by messes, and the remaining eight by typhus. Mr. Watts, the registrar, writes as follows: : l'he medical officers remark that typhus, or spotted fever, is becoming more prevalent, and caws of this de scription are coming in daily from all parts of the metropo- lis. There are now more patients in the new heepital than the old building could have accommodated, but there is ample room and every requisite (excepting funds) for the treatment of double the nunther on an emergency. It is only necessary that the public respond to the appeal made to it. At the Small-pus Hospital, Upper Holloway, only one death has occurred during the whole quarter." On 22ual &larch, at 27, Skinner-street, Bishopsgate, the widow of a navigator, aged ZiS years, died of epileptic fit, suddenly, without medical attendant. Mr. Bpeacer, the registrar, states that "she was in great destitution, and not a vestige of furniture, bed, or anything in the scum. The deceased was lying on the floor covered with an old rug ; the room is on the ground, walls and ceiling were quite .damp, and the house uufit, when I saw it, for human habi tattoo." In the sub-district of Haggerstone West, at 8, Savannah place, on 10th March, the wife of a shoemaker, aged 87 years, died of " dimmed liver (3 years)." Mr. Doering, the registrar, says:—" This corpse has been kept 18 days in a sma:l two-roomed house. How many inmates there are 1 have not been able to ascertain." In the sub-district of Hackney-road, at 14, Minerva street, on 24th March, the daughter of a smith, aged 7 years, died of " scarlatina (7 days), putrid sore throat." Mr. Murray, the registrar, remarks that "this is the second death within tea days in the same family from scarlatina, and the mother and two other children are ia gnat danger from the same disease. There arc apparently no special tireumetances to account for this fatality." In the south sub-district of St. Giles, at 2, Wild-passage, ma 22nd and 23rd March, the two sous of a costermonger, aged 4 hours and 8 hours, died of " sonvolsions; not need led.. Mr. Faulkner, the registrar, observes .—" The deaths are much more numerous than usual in my district this week, owing, I believe, to the unusually severe weather. I have registered the deaths of three infants from convulsions, none of which are certified by medical men. The mother of the two that died at 2, Wil l Is in great poverty, having (as my informant says) scarcely the means of baying fuel to keep themselves warm. May not this account for the deaths of the children ?" . In the sub-district of Pentonville, at 20, White Lion street, on 21st March, the daughter of a watch-smith, aged 4 years, died of " pertusais weeke), pneumonia, effusion into pleura (4 weeks)."

The widow of a sailor died at 12, Bermondsey.square, on 20th March, from bron chitis, at the advanced age of 102 plan. On 20th March, at 56, Baldwin's-gardens, Holborn, the endow of a shoemaker, aged 60 years, died of " ex haustion fesm want of sufficient nourishment." (Post Mon. Inquest.) At the workhouse, Lambeth, on 20th March, a waiter, aged 61 year., from Swan-yard, died of " apo- ' ploxy from want of sufficient nutrition, owing to his neg lect in applysrg for parochial relief." (Inquest.) Two of the following cases occurred in January and one in Febru ary. in the rectory subdistrict, Marylebone : a boy, aged 7 nanntha, at 6, Orchard-pace, " exhaustion from want on food, and the effects of a poisonous atmosphere; " a boy, aged 9 weeLs, at 20, York -court, " congestion of blood of the brain, roused by improper food ; " and a, widow, aged GI years, "suffocation during epilepsy from overloaded stomach." . _ _ Last week the birth, of 752 boys and 728 girls, in all 1,480 children, were registered in London. In the eight eorreepondinf weeks of the yeas 1845-52 the average num ber was 1,650. At the Royal Obeervatory, Greenwich, the moan height of the barometer in the week was 29.762 in.

The mean dew point temperature was 26 6 deg. The wind blew generally from the north-east. STRENGTH or BAD HABlTS.—Professor Miller ad verting, at • meeting at Edinburgh a few days ago, to the strength which a bad habit sometimes acquires, narrated the following story, for which the learned professo: must alone be considered responsible respectable clergyman had long failed in ma attempt tosive up snuff4sking. and at last he preached a sermon against it, but was iMieratile all the week after. When Sunday came rotted, hi found he was getoing on very languidly, and to make the thing worse, an hanest oleo of an elder, sitting immediately under the eye of the minister, tauk out his " mull," tapped it on the lid. and with the utmost gravity took a com fortable " aneribin. - The minister could stand this no loager—lse stopped abruptly in his sermon, and said, " John, for shame upon you, sir, how dare you do that 1" The elder looked up in amazement. The preacher con tinued, " Don't you remember what I said to you last Sabbath ?" but the elder could not yet fathom what lie had done to cause offence. The minister's passion for muff had la the interim grown to such an intensity that it was a caul of life or death, he could restrain uo longer, aad so, ad dressing the elder, he said, " I wi,, not pollute my lips by mentioning what you did, but I will show you what it was ; hand me up that box. - Having got the hoz, he gave it • certain number of tar on the lid, and went through the other forms of souff-taking in imitation of what he ob *reed the elder do. saying as be went on, "That G what you did, sir—and wont is more, jou (taking a pinch) did that too." CLannanwect.—More than usual Easter excite ment prevailed in this parish in consequence of the nominee 'ion of a candidate far the MEET of vestry•clerk. Two estatiiished inhabitants have laid ciainis to the suffrages of their fellow-parishioners, Messrs. March and and the friends of both parties were early up sad doing. /Le walls are placarded with bills rrl dive to the merits and claims at each candidate, one in particular threatening to espies all unfair means of obtaining votes, as well as lUrnWhiali the necessary information to those inhabit vita entitled to exercise their right of voting.

ANOTHER CHURCH DESTROYED IIY FIRE.—We regret to be called upon to record the destruction by fire, of the parish church of St. Hilary, Cornwall, situated about ate miles eastward of Penzance, on the left of the Helaton road. The conflagration was first observed about three o'clock on Saturday morning, ani at that time had made very considerable 'progress, for at four o'clock or a quarter past, the whole of the roof had fallen in. Of course in a district of which the population is so scattered, it was im possible to summon immediately more than a compara tively limited number of persons to the scene, in fact there were not more than between thirty and forty persona pre sent. They only appear however to have been able to look on the scene of destruction with a melancholy sorrow that they could do nothing to stay the rage of the conflagration, or had arrived too late for the purpose. Everything i within the church has been consumed, but we have reason to believe that it will be rebuilt in a style in many respects superior to that of the now ruined edifice. FALL OF A CLIURCII STEE£LE.—On Wednesday night week, about half-past nine o'clock, the steeple of East Kcal Church—which has, fur a long time past, been in a very dilapidated state, from old age and decay—fell, with a tremendous crash, on the north side, forcing the earth up into an embankment td the height of three or four feet ; and, by the top alighting in a singular manner in its descent, almost perpendicularly, a great portion of it is embedded some feet in the ground. The body of the church, which is also fast decaying, has been considerably shaken by the fell, and has had to be shored up, and the whole of the edifice, it so expected, will hare to be pulled down, and divine service be entirely suspended. The fine peal of bells contained in the steeple, it was feared was en tirely demolished, but four of the six have been extricated in a perfect *Lite, except the loss of the fastenings on the hips of some of them. Some workmen, who were employed in repairing the steeple, by inserting additional ties to the straeture, had only left the building three hours previously to the occurrence, and were to have resumed their work on the day followiag.—LinestessAirs Chnxikk. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1853. SAW fittelligence. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTEILDAY. tissues Ma. Se..Jsafir Ants's, Asatsyver Jews. Wm. Chambers, 22, was indicted for having stolen • sovereign, the money of James Seeger. Pamela Seeger, the wife of the prosecutor, who is the landlord of the Ship Tavern,. Bach-road, St. George's-in the-East, stated that, on Out ntght of the 11th hest. , the pri soner and another man cams into her house, and one of them, not the prisoner, called for • pint of poster. They then left the " public" department. and went to the private bar, exactly opposite a shelf where silver coin was kept to give change for gold ; at that time there happened to be • sovereign lying on th shelf by the aide of the silver, and as she was about to sit down in the bar parlour she observed that the prisoner's companion was placing the end of a lung stick he had with him on the shelf where the money was. She immediately made a grasp at the stick, and a jerk oc casioned thereby caused the sovereign, which had been on the shelf, to fall from it, the end of the stick being covered with some adhesive substance. The prisoner, who was standing close to the partition, then called upon his coin paniun to run, which he did without much hesitation and got clear off. Witness gave an alarm, and the potman ran round to the private bar door, and arrived there just as the prisoner was about to make his exit after hie accomplice. On being conducted back to the bar the prisoner disclaimed any acquaintance with the other man and declared he had not been drinking with him at all. The prisoner, it appeared, tare a fake name and address to a policeman who was ceilidhs to take him into custody. The officer stated that the end of the stick was covered with an adhesive composition like wax, so that being laid on coin some would adhere to it. In his defence the prisoner said he had nothing to do with the two mea, and that Mrs. Seeger was mistaken in saving that the man who had the stick was his accomplice. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Lockyer, the officer, proved former convictions against the prisoner. Mr. Sawyer, the beadle of the court, said the prisoner first cams under hie notice some years ago, when he was tried with a boy for a rohbery, in the commission of which he had used the boy as his instrument. The prisoner was • trainer of young thieves, and the result of inquiries made by him (the beadle) at the time the prisoner was triad with the boy were such that he should never forget them. The prisoner was • twiner of thieves, and received the plunder of his pupils. The Assistant-ledge said he was happy when be bad an opportunity of securing them trainers of young thieves, and preventing them front practising their infamous avocations for at least some time. He then sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 10 years. Janes Pinketi, 25, pleaded guilty to an indictment in which he was charged with having committed an aggra vated assault on Joseph Brown, a child under four years of NIL Mr. Ribton appeared for the prosecution, and said the smith the defendant was charged with was of a very brutal character—eo brutal, indeed, that, had the evidence been gone into, the most severs punialuuent would have been called for at the hands of the court. The facts of the ease fully in the police re port, when the charge was made before the magistrate. The defendant was a w , living at Bethnal-green, and some months ago took the child he was charged with her ing assaulted out of the workhouse, and kept it at his own house. The child was en orphan, one of four children, to whom he stood in the relation of uncle, and it appeared that he was in the habit of togging it to en unmerciful degree. On the 26th of February some lodgers in the house were attracted by the child's screams, and they found that the defendant had placed it on a table, with its face downward, and bad most severely beaten it with a rod. The evidence of a surgeon showed that the child's body was lacerated, bruised, and discoloured, and that in some places the flesh was completely cut out. The Assistant-Judge asked the defendant what he had to say to justify such conduct. The defendant, a sulky, sullen-looking fellow, replied that the child was idle and dirty. He did not flog it on the table, as had been stated. The Assistant-Judge said that was all nonsense—to flog a child three years and a half old, for such reasons. Mr. Ribton said that on one occasion when the child complained of cold the defendant thrust its head into • heap of mortar, which was lying in the yard. The Assistant Judge mild not understand why the de fendant should have taken upon himself the responsibility of the child's maintenance, and taken it out of the work house, and then have treated it in this way. The defendant said every ens must know that children required correction at times. He took the child out of charity. The Assistant Judge observed that that might be ad mitted, but it could not be admitted that children were to be corrected in the way the defendant had acted towards this child. He then sentenced the defendant to six months' hard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. _ WORSHIP-STREET. John Goodman, a tall well.:dreeZll;an, was charged with having assaulted and grossly misconducted himself - towards a young married woman named Elizabeth Miller. The complainant stated that, while paring through Commercial-street, Whitechapel, on the previous night,in the company of her husband and sister-in-law, the former of whom was walking a short distance behind them, the defendant, who was accompanied by two other men, suddenly placed himself immediately in front of her, and assailed her in the most offensive and indelicate manner, at the same time ex claiming—. take that, my dear!" On hearing her cries I f*? assistance, her husband instantly hastened towards them, and threatened her assailant that he would give him into custody for his disgraceful conduct, but he had no sooner uttered the observation, than the defendant struck him :a violent blow in the face, and immediately afterwards re newed the attack with a stick which be borrowed from one of his companions, but her sister having asolutely seized I hold of the weapon, end prevented him from using it, the defendant, after again addressing her with insulting fami liarity, rapidly made off with his friends, but wee pursued by her husband, and given into custody. The complainant's evidence was fully corroborated by that of her sister-in-law, Esther Pheasant, a respectable looking widow, and her husband also stated that on remon strating with the prisoner upon the wanton insult he had offered to his wife, he instantly struck him in the fine with such force that he bled profusely from the nose, and the inside of his lip was cut open, as itnow appeared. Mr. D'Eynoourt said that he considered the charge had been fully established, and ordered the defendant to pay • penalty of 205., or be committed in default for 10 days to the House of Correction. The flee ;;Sit csite7PSid, sad the defeadsat left the court with his friends. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Edward T4ror a well-dressed young man, wu charged with saaliely ;tabbing Jane Hall with a caning -fork. The prosecunix deposed that she was a widow, and li ved at No. 10, Groevesor-mews, and that she had een living with the prisoner as his wife for five or six years, and had had one child by him, now five years old. She left him about three weeks ago. On Saturday night net, about 8 o'clock, she met the defendant at the Post-office, and es she was putting a letter in the box, he mantled it from her, and told her the child was ill, and she went to his 10 . !!13 to see it, and after some conversation with him, she to pay Ss. a week towards *maintaining it, and to pay T .- 71; advance. On Monday night she took the money to his lodgings,and before she gave it to him she told him she would have her watch that he had got. He said he would not give it up, and they qunelled.

The Rhadamanthus, Master-Com mander Belem, arrived on Sunday from Portsmouth. COURT MARTIAL AT PORTSMOUTH. A court-martial was held on board the Victory, lag-ship, yesterday, tl try Robert King, an able seaman, on the charge—" That he did, being an able seaman on board 11.M.5. Excellent, at Portsmouth, on the 23rd of De cember, 1861. desert from the said ship." The court consisted of near Admiral Fanshawe, C.B. (president), Captains Sir Thomas Maitland, of the Agamemnon; E. J Scott, Nep tune; Henderson, Blenheim; Shepherd, Victory ; F. Scott, Odin; Crispin, Victoria and Albert; Ileatheote, Highfiyer ; and Mr. 0. L. Greetham, Deputy-Judge Ad vocate of the Fleet. Captain Chad', of the Excellent, prosecuted. It was proved by three witnesses that prisoner bad leave of absence for 24 hours from the Excellent, on the 23rd of December, 18,51, and that he did not return. When he left be was 19s. 34d. indebted to the crown. Oa the 17th instant be was brought on board the above ship as a deserter by William Cutler, quartermaster on board the Crocodile, off the Tower of London. This witness, on the 16th inst., found the prisoner in conversation with a man who was endeavouring to induce him to join her Majesty's ship London. This, however, he did not wish to do, but was inquiring for the Thames, Southampton steamer. Wit ness was authorised to detain persons whom he might sus pect to be deserters or stragglers from her Majesty's ships. After some hesitation prisoner told him he had belonged to her Majesty's ships Agincourt and Inconstant, but he could not produce his register ticket or certificate. On the advice of the person who was with him, prisoner ultimately con fessed he had deserted from the Excellent in December, 1851. He could not, however, be traced in the Gazeits, neither could his register ticket be found at the register- Mace. Witness, in pursuance of orders, brought him down to Portsmouth. In witnen said he had received orders to rig himself out in plain clothes, and stop any one on shore he might suspect to be a deserter. lie did so, and any person ho suspected he asked him what ship he be longed to. If he named a ship, he asked him for hts liberty ticket ; and if this was not produced, he detained him as a deserter. Captain Shepherd, who commanded the Inconstant, said prisoner, from the certificate produced, given to him from that ship, must haws been a very good man, as every man's character was inquired into on the passage home by com petent officers. Prisoner made no defence, saying he bad not deserted from any dislike to the service. He threw himself on the mercy of the court. The court h.,ving considered its decision, found the pri soner Guilty, but in consideration of t he good character given him by Captain Shepherd, for his conduct whilst be longing to H.M.S. Inconstant, they adjudged him to be imprisoned in Winchester Gaol for 12 months only. MARKETS. COTTON.—Lnia,OOI., MARCH 29.—The market closed with much animation, and, compared with the rates of Thursday, Americans were 1-16 d. to kd. per lb. dearer; other sone were unchanged. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, and comprised 8,500 American (2,600 taken bi d speculators) ; 450 Pernam and Manahan), at 61d. to 7 d.; 260 Egyptian, at 6d. to 811 ; 500 Surat, at 31d. to 4 .; 80 Sea Islands, at 20d. to 2s. MANCHISTIR, MARCH 29.—W0 have had more activity and spirit in the market than for some weeks put. The buyers of warps and medium to fine mule twist were ope rating to a fair extent for home consumption, and the India houses were also displaying considerable activity in testing prices, though not large buyers. There was an inquiry also for the German and other foreign markets, which gave a firma- tone to prices, which may be reported u a shade firmer, though not to the extent of id. per lb. Altogether the trade in yarns, home and foreign, has been very satis factory both as to extent and prices. There has been rather MOM inquiry also for cloths, but not generally lead ing to business, though some fair sales are spoken of at rather hardening rates. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Linns, Mallon 28.—There has been a brisk and lively market to-day. The trade generally in balk cloths is buoyant and good. Prices are firm, with a strong upward tendency. Stocks continue exceedingly low. WOOLti....RIDDZSIFIELD. March 29.—1 n Wools we are not very brisk to-day. Manufacturers, having for the last few weeks been buying pretty freely, are now out of the market. MANUFACTURES.—iIVDDIMISTIM.D, March 29. Our market continues as brisk se usual, the demand still keeping fully up to the supply in all our various shades and patterns of fancy goods, except the lowest and coarsest sorts, which, as the spring advances, are becoming not so mar ketable. CORN —HULL, March 29.—T0-day we had a fair supply of Wheat from the farmers, and best runs of red fetched fully the current rates of last week ; and, indeed, in some instances, Is. more money was paid, 48e. being the price generally paid by millers. Not much doing in foreign Wheats; merely in retail to local millers. A very limited business in Barley, but heavy malting qualities maintain their value. Other kinds of spring corn without alteration. Without further arrivals of Linseed the market is only flat ; a good consumptive demand for Linseed Cakes, at the decline. Rapeseed rather easier, but a little more inquiry for Cakes. Imports from March 19 to 25: Wheat, 352 qrs.; Barley, 591; Betas, 88 ; Peas, 90; Tares, 21 ; Rapeseed, 719; Bones, 99 tons. LIED% MARCH 29.—The arrival' of all articles are limited. Wheat meets with a moderately steady sale, and all qualities are fully as well sold as on Thursday. Heavy barley quite as dear, other sorts slow sale. Beans and oats, as well as other articles, do not vary. Arrivals this week: Wheat, 2,496 qrs.; Oats, 35; Barley, 342; Beans, 868; Rapsesed, 379. LTVERPOOL, MARCH 29. The arrivals from Ire land and leastwise during the past week have been light upon the whole. From foreign poets we have received 6,033 qrs. wheat, 6,484 qrs. Indian corn, 8,242 seeks and 17 211 barrels flour. The exports In the same time com- O4le 2,322 qrs. wheat, 477 qrs. oats, 2,741 qrs. Indian corn, sacks and 8,834 barrels flour. Owing to the interven tion of the Easter holidays, there has been little doing in the trade; however, in the few transactions which have taken place rather more firmness has been evinced by holders, and prices generally are fully supported. The weather has become mild and seasonable. At this day's market there was a moderate attendance of the trade, who purchased to a fair extent of wheat, at about the prices of this day week. Flour, both American and French, was neglected, and easier to buy. Oats and oatmeal were in rather better request, and the turn dearer. Barley and peas were scarcely inquired for, and beans were 6d. per quarter lower. Indian corn afloat was in better request, and rather dearer, but parcels on the spot were without material alte- ration in value. Arrivals into Liverpool from the 22nd to the 28th March inclusive :—Wheat, 6,033 qrs.; Barley, 312; Malt, 1,542 ; Oats, 668 ; Beans, 45 ; Indian Corn, 6,484 ; Oatmeal, 6,679 sacks; Flour, 8,256 sacks, 17,291 barrels. Exports to Ireland: Wheat, 1,663 gn.; Indian Corn, 2,514; Indian Corn Meal, 233 barrel'; Flour, 308 sacks and 1,858 barrels. LYNN, March 29.-We have had a small market to-day, and last week's rates freely given. Wheat, old, 621bs. to 831ba., 475. to 495. per qr. to the grawen; best, new, 581bs. to 691b5., 414. to 435.; ditto, runs, 651bs. to 581b5., 355. to 395. Barley, selected, fine, 31.. to 325.; ditto, best runs 28s. to 30s. ; inferior, 265. to 275. Beans, 325. to 345. NEWCASTLE, March 29.-The snow has disappeared, and the weather seems to have assumad a more settled appear ance, which will enable our farmers to proceed with plough ing and other agricultural operations which are much in arrear. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, and having nothing fresh in from the coast, fresh thrashed samples were taken off readily at full prices, but there being such a want of suita ble quality factors did but little. Flour was held with more firmness, still, however, no great quantity changed heads, the dealers showing a disposition to get through their old stocks previous to replenishing them. In Rye little stirring. Choice malting Barley fully as dear, with a steady inquiry, whereas other sorts are difficult of disposal, and the turn easier. In Malt, Beans, and Peas we have little variation to note ; but Oats with an improved inquiry, are in better demand, and a shade higher. CATTLE. - SALISBURY, March 29.-Our market this morning was shortly supplied with Beasts, but the quality generally were very good. The attendance of buyers was also thin, who bought merely for immediate consumption, the rate of prices being so enormously high a the trade con- ' sequently was slack, except for animals of the best quality, which were cleared at about the figure of this day sea night, and, although the supply was so limited, the rougher sorts remained on hand until late in the day, when, to effect a clearance, reduced rates were accepted. The supply of I Sheep was unusually small, numbering about 20 small coups. The demand was, however, equally small, the pric es asked by the dealers being so exorbitantly high, and all wants were fully supplied, and prices were without variation from I our last. There was not a single Lamb on offer, but from the fearful high prices, on the ground of scarcity, there wan, we hear, no inquiry. In the Pig market there was a good supply of most descriptions of Pigs, and a good attendance ' of buyers ; the trade was consequently brisk, and the late advances were fully sustained. We had an extensive supply of Calves, which met with an active inquiry, but notwithstanding the increased number on offer the figure of last market was well supported. Carcass Veal also sold at late rates, viz., 3s. 82. to Is. ltd. per Slbs Cows with calves were also well supplied, and several found purchasers, selling at as high rates as heretofore. Best Ox li ce t, 10s. per score ; second-rate, 9s. 6d.; cow and heifer, 75. to 85. Down Mutton, 71d. per lh. ; second-rate, 61d. to 7d. Veal, 6d. to 6}(l. Pork, fresh and salt, 61d. to 714. per lb., and 9s. 6d. per score. Bacon, green, per lb., 701. to Bd. ; dry. 80. to 9d. • ditto, per score, 9s. to 10s. Store 1 1 Pigl2ls 1 , les. to 30s. each.

Piro Tug LATE GAROTTE ATTACK AT WAKEFIELD.- At the Wakefield Court-house, on Monday, before the sitting magistrate, Edward McHele and Thomas Smith were placed in the dock by Mr. McDonnold, chief consta ble, on a remand from Wednesday last, charged with being concerned in the late garotte attack on Mr. Bard - . Meliale is a formidable-looking fellow, and Smith is also an apparently vigorous and powerful man. Mr. McDonnold then stated the nature of the charge against the prisoners, and also further said that the chain of evidence against them was incomplete. He must consequently call on the magistrates Ito discharge them. After entering at some little further length into the circumstances of the case, the magistrates discharged the prisoners with a suitable reprimand. No other prisoners are in custody, and although a reward of 501. has been offered for the apprehension of the offenders, it appears exceedingly probable that the ruffians who per petrated the outrage will remain undiscovered. NEW BILL ON MERCHANT SIIIPPINC.-A bill brought forward by the government has just been printed, to amend various laws relating to merchant shipping. There are 63 clauses in the measure ani a schedule. The bill, which stands for the second reading on Monday in the House of Commons, it is proposed shall come into operation on the Ist of August next, and is to be cited as The Mer chant Shipping Law Amendment Act, 18.53." The bill has reference to light and other dues on shipping, and placing the accounts under the Board of Trade. After a number of provisions with respect to manning, volunteering into the navy, and desertion, there is a clause with respect to Lascar seamen for Australia. It is declared to be expedient to give facilities for obtaining seamen in the Australian co ' looses, for which purpose it is proposed to enact that con tracts may be made with natives in India under certain conditions, binding them to go to Australia and thence to servo in other ships in the United Kingdom. Certain com missioners mentioned are to form the Mercantile Marine Fund. The Queen in council is to fix the tolls to be taken for new lighthouses. To the present, as in recent govern ment bills, there is an analysis of the contents.
