tourtt Ebitton AUSTRIA. VIENNA, AuG. 31.—His Majesty, accompanied by the Minister Bruck, will shortly visit -Trieste, and probably also the Italian States. His Majesty will return by way of Agram. '1 he nomination of Lieutenant Field-. Marshal Gyulac as Governor of Hungary has not yet been delinitively settled, as the Government is desi rous of having the opinion of Baron Jellachich, who expected to arrive here to-morrow. The negotiations with the commandant of Comorn, according to the Presse, have up to this time had no definite reallt. 'the principal insurgents, it is said, are taking advantage of the fortnight's armistice. 14.000 men of the garrison, which is 20,000 strong, have already embarked for Gran, where they have laid Oown th.-ir arms. 6,000 men, for the moat part volunteers, still remain in the fortress, resolved to defend it to the last extremity. According to a letter in the Presburg Gazette from Comoro, lapka and the Magyar officers are unani inously agreed to surrender the fortress ; but the Austrian officers who have joined their ranks are apprehensive of the sentence of death, and therefore persist in defending it to the last extremity, and have drawn over a part of the troops to their resolution. Count Esterhazy denies, in the Wiener Zeitung, the letter said to have been sent to him by Kossuth. SCHLES WI G-HOLSTEIN. FLENSBURG, AUG. 30.—Public tranquillity has happily not been again disturbed, although personal security is by no means guaranteed; All the Danish colours at the harbour bridge are to be taken down by order of the Government. WALLACHIA. BUCHAREST, AUG. 17.—We have received official information that a Magyar corps under Perczel, ar rived in Orsova on the 10th, to seek the protection of the Pacha, for himself. hii people, and their families. It is affirmed that Kossuth was seen with Perez 1. The Pacha granted his request on condition that they should unrelervedly lay down their arms.—Prussian Staats Anzeiger. STATE OF - TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TCESDAT.—A general quietness has pervaded the yarn market today. The buyers on foreign account do not yet venture to operate, at the current rates, beyond the extent of their immediate wan - s. In this department, therefore, the day's busi ness as been of very limited amount ; and, although spinners have mc stly held by the quotations of last week with much firmness, a slight concession has been made, in some instances, and for some descriptions of yarns. In this way, rather more has been done in that depressed article, No. 20's water. Doubled yams are decidedly firm. In mule, for home manu flcture, a general steadiness prevails. In goods, we find that the demand ter printing cloths is still con s'derable, at the prices of last week. Madapollams are turn, and continue in moderate request. In 40- inch shirtings there is but little doing; and prices, especially in low qualities, cannot be said to be main tained with firmness. Narrower shirtings, also, are less inquired af'er. 45-inch shirtings are going off fairly, at about previous rates. In jacconets there is less doing, but without any yield in value. Domestics, long cloths, and T cloths, show no change. We are glad to find that the promise of an abundant harvest throughout the country has of late been operating beneficially upon the demand from the country. The home houses are experiencing a con siderable increase of business, and forming favourable anticipations 23 to the fall trade. This is now a matter of peculiar interest and importance ; and, with the question of the supply of cotton, is in no small degree occupying the attention of all parties con nected with the manufactures of this district. Roam(Le, Al ONDAT.—The demand for flannels has been uncommonly brisk to day—indeed the ma nu'acturers cannot make them fast enough. Kerseys have not been much inquired after, and the sales have been limited. The wool market is still heavy, with prices the same as those of the preceding Monday. MACCLESFIELD, TtTESDAT.—We regret to say that the manufacturing business continues in a stag nant state; the principal dye-houses also participate in the present dulness. In the face of all this, the brokers report large deliveries of silk for the last month. It is suspected that they include in the deli veries the silk thlt is purchased for •sport; the amount of which, we understand, is considerable. The cotton reports of Liverpool and Manchester offer a suitable model for those of the London silk brokers. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAT.—Every article at all adapted for the season, met with immediate sale early in the morning ; and the general complaint is of the scarcity of goods. The stocks were, perhaps, never known to be lower in middle class and superior cloths. The foreign houses are busily engaged, and many orders remain to be completed. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has been little change in the woollen trade since last week. The manufac turers are sill making to order, and whilst there ik little doing at the cloth h.dls, a brisk business is doing on the ;'‘ hole. INDIAN MASSACRE IN CALI FORNIA. Columma Mil's, California, April 22, 1849. Since I last wrote there has been a tragedy enacted here which has made my blood run cold. I men tioned, I belie ve, in my last that a war party of Oregon tnen had been formed to hunt the Indians. They mus tered about 30, armed with rifles, pistols, and knives. The party lett here on the 16th, and on the 18th re turned with 37 male prisoners and three squaws. Atter searching the country for some time, they discovered the track which led them to the Rancheria of !he tribe which was known to have committed the murders of the five Oregon men, over in the Roi dalle Fork. Son as they found the Rancheria they made an attack, and were met with a volley of arms from the Indians, but most of them being good marksmen th-ir shots took effect, and the Indians soon fled, leaving 27 dead and 40 prisoners. One of the war party as he rode by me called my atten tion to the falie hair hanging down each side of his horse's head which was too readily mistaken by its black, straight, and shining appearance, to be the scalps of the Indians. Another drew his knife, and exhibiting the b'ade c3vered with the blood, said that this bad dune its work ; I shall lay it by. The wretched pri•oners were marched from one end of the village to the other, and made to sit or squat down in rows under the trees where they were questi one d, through an ieterpre:er ; two of them were found guilty. Swpicte ns w, re entertained against five other ,, , who, with the two already doomed, were retained, and the others set free. A in-cling was called, and a messenger sent for Captain Sutter to come up and try them ; but he having been threatened with death from the whites, as well as the Indians, gave that as his reason for not coming. When the messenger returned, the council, consisting. principally of the war party, met and con cluded to try them that afternoon, and at six o'clock one of them that could converse with the Indians, told them they were to be marched out to take their seats upon a log and have their trial. He also stated that there had been enough evidence given to convict two of them, and that the others would pro bably be cleared. The poor wretches then followed the chiefs out to a triangular space, bounded on one side by the hills, on another by the village, and on the other by the rapid current of the swollen river. When within five paces of the pine tree, which that night had been laid l ow by one of the peaceful and industrious inhabitants to build him a shelter for the coming winter—they broke, they ran, some towards the hills, and others towards the river; the word was given to fire, and two immediately fell—one upon the log on which he was to have been tried, the other six or seven paces beyond; and the others who had fled to the hills were overtaken and stabbed with bowie- knives. Of the two who plunged into the almost freezing water of the American Fork, one was shot, but still swam till half way across the river, when s,.me white men were seen running down to the opposite bank to head him off. He im mediately turned and swam back to the shore from which he had first plunged, and when he reached the brush which grew al ,, ng the hank, one of the Oregon men drew one of Colt's revolvers, and put a ball through his brain ; he never moved afterwards, and when I passed again a few minutes after he was still entangled in the hushes, but nothing but the back the of fhis head cou ld b e seen . Th e o th er swam to opposite shore, but was prevented from landing by two mounted men, who threw stones at him until one of the numerous stones from this side struck his 'head, and h e sun k to rise no mor e . Wh en the chase was over, and the party returned to where the first shots were fired, the two Indians were still alive ; with his one was lying on hi s f ace, bed blanket spread over him. One of the captors andtorsp plungederceiving i a h urLs . that he still breathed, dr ew a knife it into his ride, while anoth er b eat his out with a large stone. The other miserable victim, w ho fell over the log, and whom I saw mlking ant ffort to rise as I passed immediately after he was shot. at this time was laid parallel with the trunk of the tree; another ball had extinguished the little life that the first fire had left, and his only gar ti:trit; a spotted calico shirt, was burning, having been set on fire by the fire from the pistol, so near was the muzzle when he was shot. Further to the left, on the side of the hill, I saw another of the party bending over his victim, busily engaged in removing the scalp. Captain Greenwcod proposed burying the Indians near where they fell. "No, no," was the cry, " they burned the bodies of our men, and we will burn them but GreenworHa influence prevailed, and the THE SU N bodies were covered with earth. All that I have related as having taken place here I saw. Having heard that the trial was to take place, I went over to the room where the prisoners were confined to see them. They appeared dejected. The faces of most of them were covered - with their blankets, as they sat in two rows with their hands resting upon their knees. From the room I went with them to the place which it was said to have been their judgment-seat, but which proved to be their place of execution. I have little doubt that the innocent suffered in this case as well as the guilty. But I will make no comments; every one has a right to his opinion. The war party, early the next day, with few ex ceptions, left and took up their quarters on the other side of the river, intending to move off over the Rocky Mountains. At the time this tragedy was being performed, Mrs. Witnmer represents the Indians who have been encamped in the village as being in a dreadful state of alarm. She states that they ran to her, and begged her to save them, as they feared that they were all to meet with the same fate. That evening they were gathered around their fires, crying like so many children ; but before the sun shone upon this valley they had departed, and now not one of them is to be seen here, neither has there been since this sad catastrophe. . . Since the above was written, a man has just come in, who gave information of a person, by the name of Jack Doyle, having been murdered, about six miles from here, on Weaver's Creek. He was one of a party of fifteen that was engaged in the dry diggings near the Creek, who strolled out from the camp, without arms, after breakfast, and when dinner-time came, he not making his appearance, some of his com rades went out in search of him, and found his body in the creek, his skull s t ove i n , and his person much mutilated. There was a stone lying on the shore, not far off, covered with blood and hair, with which the murder had been committed, and around which, from the appearance of the sand, there had been a severe scuffle. Captain Shan non, who keeps his store at tbis place, took his horse and went out to examine the body, and re ports that it was done by the Indians, whose tracks betrayed them. This night a large party of about 40 or 50 men have gone out in search of Indians, and it matters not whether they murdered Doyle or not, death will be the doom of every one who comes within reach of their rifles or their knives. The war of extermination has commenced, and thousands of these miserable wretches, who are very little above the monkey that tribe, w ill not satisfy the whites for the loss of one of their number. haveth ese studied the physiognomy of the n atives of t mountains, and say with tru th and sincerity a I never saw worse countenances than they possess. Even those who have most befriended them have always acknowledged that they were all thieves. The race about here have been denominated Dig gers, as some say from their digging in the earth for grub-worms, which they eat with much gusto. Others say, it is from their custom in case of sickness, of digging pits in the earth, close to the edges of some river, in which they put hot stones; then, after throwing water on the stones, cause themselves to be shut up until they are in a violent perspiration, when they plunge into the river. People here are of opinion that it is the cause of so many being afflicted with a cough. Certain it is that a great many suffer from bronchitis, or pulmonary complaints.—New York Tribune. JAMAICA MARKETS. (From De Cordon's Mercantile Intelligeneer.) The general depression of every interest throughout the island has marked the business of the fortnight pre ceeding the August holidays with increased dullness. There has been very little activity, and the immense supplies which shippers have so madly sent on, are assist ing to keep the market in a state of miserable stagnation. The arrivals of butter within the last few weeks have ben ridiculously superfluous, so much so, indeed, that we fear much of it will hsve either to be sent back again or thrown into the sea. Our means are so reduced at this moment, that unless importations are regulated on the most prudent scale they must result in los. We have endeavoured for some time past to impress this tact on the minds of merchants abroad, but with little effect. We, however, reiterate the caution, because we conceive it to be our duty to do so, and the result will show, as experience has already shown, that we do not advise without reason. Brandy is abundant at our last quotations. Corn—Sales of New Orleans yellow have been made at 3s per bushel. Flour—The stock is not heavy, but the price has not gone over 32s per barrel, at which figure a cargo from Georgetown, consisting of 700' barrels and 150 half barrels has been sold. Freights are very dull, the little produce that there was being all shipped. Logwood was in active demand at 44s per ton, to fill up the first August vessels, as sugar, coffee, &c., were not to be had. Meal—The price continues at 15s per barrel in small quantities. The stock is large. For 200 barrels George own, just arrived, 14s were offered and refused. Pimento is worth 21d to 3d per lb. Race—Bengal is in lair supply, and limited sales have been made at 143 to 14s 6d per 1001b5; Carulina is held at 193 per 100163. Rum is very dull, and has been sold at 2s per gallon, proof 21. A lot of a very favourite brand has been taken at 23 4d per gallon, and 3d per bead. _ _ . Sugar—There is none at market. The article is very &eable at 16: to 20,:. Tobacco—Sales of 5 bales leaf hare been made at 60s per 1001bs. EXCHANGES-ON LONDON. Colonial Bank-60 dap, 2 per cent. premium. 30 days, 1 per cent. premium.

PREVENTION or DISEASE.—The Gazette of yester day contains a series of instructions issued by the Gene ral Board of Health to the board of guardians of the Stepney Union and of the Holborn Union to appoint medical or other qualified persons to carry out a system of house-to-house visitation, to provide places for the ric,ption of the families of necessitous persons attacked by cholera, and to see to th 9 cleansing of the houses from which they may have been removed; also, that notice shall be given by handbills of the places where medical aid and other assistance may be procured. The guardians of the poor in Bethnal-green, and in the parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, are, by similar notices. directed to provide staffs of men, and the necessary ma terials for cleansing and lime washing infected houses, and to secure additional supplies of water for washing courts and other confined localities in their respective parishes. FEMALE SAILOR.--A. letter received in Nantucket from, our Consul at Paita states that the ship Christo pher Mitchell, of that port, touched at Pelts on the 6th of July, to land a female who shipped at Nantucket as a green hand, under the name of George Johnson; but who, upon her sex being known, gave her real name as Ann Johnson, daughter of George Johnson, living in Rochester, New York, at 22, Oak -street, a shoemaker by trade. Her appearance is said to be that of a good looking boy of 16 or 17 years. She did her duty cheer. fully, going aloft to take in sail in the hearie , t weather, and has taken her regular mastheads and helms all the voyage.—New York Journal of Commerce.

THE YELLOW CREEK TRAGEDY.--A MOTHER DROWNING HERSELF ARD THREE CHILDREN.—A correspondent has furnished us with the particulars of the above melancholy tragedy, which occurred in Ross township, in this county, on the 13th of June. The af fair was adverted to in the New; and talked of in pri vate circles, but for the want of more authentic informa tion, and for tear of doing injustice to some one, we have forborne a publics exposi of the strange and unnatural fact until the present. The name of the lady is Mrs. Rebecca Mitcham, wife of one Harrison Mitcham. She left home on the sth of June, and after loitering about the neighbourhood for a few days, took her children, the eldest about six, the second four, and the third one year old, to the banks of Big Yellow Creek, and in the deep est place in the stream consigned herself and the three children to a watery grave. When the bodies were discovered the youngest child was tied fast to its mother, with an apron and pocket handkerchief. The second was tied above the knees to prevent his rescuing himself by any chance struggle. The head of the eldest showed some signs of violence, whether done in being thrown into the stream or previously is not known. The causes which led this woman to the commission of so horrible an act are said to be inattention, abuse, cruelty, and jealousy on the part of the husband. The provocation must have been great, the anguish intolerable, to have prompted a mother, with a babe in her arms, followed by two interesting children, to search for herself and them a prt mature death and an early eternity.—Steubeetrille (Ohio) Herald.

One servant too much makes all the rest idle.— Eliza G'oof's Journal. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER 5, 1849 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Two inhabitants, residing in London-wall, entered the court, and in the midst of the business addeessed Sir P. Laurie in an agitated manner, and wished for his inter ference to cause the removal of a coffin which was under stood to contain the body of a person who had died of cholera in the churchyard of St. Alphage, in Philip - lane, London-wall. They stated that the coffin had been brought there and laid upon the ground with the lid off, there being no grave in the churchyard at the time, and it being understood that it had been removed to that place by order of the coroner of London, merely that it might be viewed by the gentlemen composing the coro ner's jury. One of the innabitants said one of his children was now ill, And he did not know how it might aggravate the disease. The people were looking out of several win dows that commanded a view of the churchyard. How long it might lay there he did not know, it something were not done to abate the nuisance. Sir P. LAURIE said the public mind was fed by the newspapers with accounts of cholera, and it frightened them into it by hundreds. Ile should order ltoe the 1 1 officer of the court to go and see the churchyard and re port as to the facts stated. On the return of Mr. Roe, he said that from the first and second floors of the houses close to the churchyard the coffin could will. be The lid :een as described, o, l. but t not from the patthhwouegyhitn thatthe street, instead in of ci e ) x n p s o eq si u ng eee it and d t h h e e i r certainly iy a very high in the churchyard, it might have been taken into the church. Mr. M‘Lellan, one of the churchwardens, said that application had been made to him to allow the body to be placed in the churchyard, but he positively re fused, but having occasion to go out on business, he handed the keys and communicated his views to his brother churchwarden. During his absence the ward beadle repeated the application in such a way that the churchwarden felt bound to obey the coroner, and gave up the keys. Sir P. LAURIE asked why an inquest was being held on the body? Mr. M'Lellan explained that in going round to in quire from house to house the health of the parish, he found a woman was dead whose sickness he had not heard anything of. Finding the shutters were not open as usual on Sunday, some children had pulled them open, and seen the body. As it was known her hus band was entitled to 16/. from his club, the neighbours were greatly excited, suspecting the poor woman might havb been murdered. As this information was being given to him, the man came walking up the court with a pipe in his mouth, as unconcerned as if nothing had happened. Sir P. LAURIE then said he had no doubt this was a proper case for inquiry, and observed that with respect to these house-to-house visitations, it did more harm than good, as it continually reminded the tenants of the pestilence that was going abroad, and whatever trifling indisposition betel them, they were reminded that it might be the cholera. In the district where he lived the medical officer bad declined to visit from house to house, believing that the alarm might create more mis chief than the knowledge of cases of sickness could do good. In ordinary times an inquiry of "Is anybody sick in this house?" would be harmless enough, but the people now were in such a state of excitement that it must be mischievous. He wished to know when the inquest would be held and the body removed? Mr. M'Lellan said the inquest was then assembled. The jury had viewed the body in the open yard, being afraid to enter the room where the death had occurred. Sir P. LAURIE said he did not see that he could inter fere with the coroner to any purpose, as the inquest would soon be over and the body removed; but he should like the churchwarden to assure him such was the fact as soon as the jury gave their verdict. In about half an hour afterwards Mr. M'Lellan re turned to say that the jury had given a verdict of death by cholera, and that the body had been instantly re moved to the Golden-lane burial ground to remain until a grave could be dug. One of the applicants said that tLe terror of the dis ease tended much to produce mischief, for his servant, who had been looking out of an upper window, had sup posed she had caught the infection, and was then seriously ill, as was likewise his son. When the ward beadle was spoken to, he became very pompous and self-opiniated on the subject. Sir P. LAURIR—SO they are all by virtue of their office.—(Laughter.) Mr. M'Lellan said he was exceedingly sorry his bro ther churchwarden parted with the keys at all. The two applicants having thanked Sir P. Laurie for his prompt attenti,in to their case, then retired. WEST:MINSTE II . Edward Rees Sitzenich, late a clerk in the establish ment of Messrs. Mare, upholsterers and house agents, 21, Lower Belgrave-place, was brought up for re-exa mination, charged with embezzling upwards of 4001., re ceived by him in the transaction of their business. Mr. Ballantine attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Humphreys for the prisoner. The circumstances of the case, in which there were three distinct charges proceeded with against the pri soner, are briefly these :—The accused entered the ser dvinctey f p t e i c s u s r l a s . rl M y are in Jtannuaattreyn,dlBto47t,heash,amscelerk, agencyhi department, see those who wished to let or take houses, s receive the money from the residents, and account fur it to the firm. The Messrs. Mare let a house belonging to a gentleman named Fletcher, of Manor-house, Esher, to a Mr. Harris, upon a written agreement drawn by the prisoner for 3001., which was paid in three instalments, Mr. Harris handing the prisoner a cheque for 100/. at the time of signing the agreement in March, it being his wish to pay that sum before taking possession, a second and like amount on the 13th of July, and a correspond ing sum on tho 17th of August, in anticipation of the instalment due in September (the present month). Tne first of these amounts the prisoner handed over to Mr. Fletcher, but never accounted to either of the Messrs. Mare nor the owner of the house for the other two sums. In the third charge against the accused, his em ployers had let a house belonging to the Hon. Adolphus Liddell to a lady named Burgoyne for 420 guineas, the term of occupancy being from the 20th of February to the end of last July. In May the prisoner handed over to Mr. Liddell the first moiety of the amount agreed upon, deducting the commission for agency ; and sub sequently, at the expiration of the term, wrote to Messrs Mare, requesting them to receive the residue, 2201. 10s. The prisoner both wrote on the 9th of August and waited upon Mr. Liddell on Wednesday fortnight, on both of which occasions he denied that he had received the money, alleging in the letter that Mrs. Burgoyne had been too ill to attend to business matters. Mr. Liddell wrote to the lady, and it was then ascertained that Mrs. Burgoyne's butler had paid Edgar Reader, a junior clerk in Messrs. Mare's firm, the second 2201. 10s. on the 29th of July, which he had handed over to the prisoner, who, in writing the letters to Mr. Liddell, had done so without the knowledge or authority of his em ployers, whose names be signed. Mr. Ballantine having called two witnesses to prove that the two last cheques of Mr. Harris and Mrs. Burgoyne had been severally paid into the banker's upon which they were drawn, asked for the committal of the prisoner for trial, at the same time observing that he felt it his duty to state that there were two other cases against the prisoners, and that in the event of proceeding with them, he would give Mr. Humphreys four or five days' notice. The witnesses in attendance were then bound over to prosecute the prisoner at the Central Criminal Court, but as there were two, whose evidence had been pre viously taken, absent, it was arranged that the prisoner should be remanded from time to time, until the 17th, on which day it is expected that the absent witnesses will be able to attend to sign their depositions, and be bound over to prosecute. Bail, upon the application of Mr. Humphreys, was refused. 4 a ß n /...13 te 0 d R b O ur U g r ar H , John Veal , M escapedwho lately the Middlesex Hospital, where he had been confined in consequence of a serious accident which he ieust'ained when attempting to escape from from the police about ten days ago, was brought before Mr. H ar d w i c k, h av i ng been retaken by the police yesterday morning. The prisoner, it will be recollected, was detected, with a com panion, on the top of some houses in Argyll-street. The prisoner made his way over the tops of the houses, and entered a house, from which he leaped, and seriously injured the bones of one of his feet. His companion fell from the roof of a house, and was killed on the spot. The prisoner, it appeared, contrived to elude the vigilance of the constable who had charge of him in the hospital, and secreted himself for several days with success. Police-Inspector Whall and Police-Sergeant Gray ob tained a clue to his hiding place, in Corbet-place, Brick. lane, and making their way into the house by the back premises, in order to avoid an attack from a large and ferocious bull-dog kept in the passage, they took the prisoner as he was lying in bed, playing a game of cards with one of his companions. The prisoner was remanded till Saturday, and removed for the present to the infirmary. 1 THE CHOLERA. AT SEA.—Tne ship Sheridan, Captain Cornish, arrived ut Quarantine from Liverpool . She lost 31 of her steerage passengers and seamen by cholera. The following are their names:—Mr. Sim mons, of New York, second officer of the ship; J. An derson, of Liverpool, carpenter of ditto; William Ogden, seaman, of Liverpool; Frank Conklin, ditto, of Rouen, France; Walter Riley, ditto, of Weatherfield, Connecti cut; George Simmons, ditto, of Dantzic. Steerage pas sengers—John Grimes, of Sligo; Frank and Ellen Dal ton, of ditto; W. Hollyridge, and Martha, his wife (who have left four children on board the ship, without rela tives or friends); m ' Mary, Catharine, Sarah, and Charles Barnes, of Craxton, England (all of the same family, and the mother is on board); John Mickleworth, of Leeds, England ; Sarah Pratt, of Oxford, Ireland ; John and Edward Richards, of Leeds, England; Ca therine Doyle, of Ireland; Michael Breene, of Tipperary ;'James and Richard Smith, of Ireland; Martha Farrell, of Longford; William and Dorothea Uhlman, of Cornwall, England; Sarah and Morris and Edward Lloyd (mother and two children), of Kidderminater, England ; lohn Shannon, of Rosscommon, Ireland ; (Joseph Kavanah , of Dublin, f e ll overboard and was drowned). C.tptain Cornish had a very serious and trying time t he first week out. The cholera broke out among the crew on the 7th of August; for the first eight days there were from eight to ten new cases, and from three to five deaths daily for eight days iu succession. Out of 22 seamen, only four could be mustered in a watch. 80 caves and 31 deaths occured since the ship sailed. All that could be done was done by Captain Cornish and his officers for the sick. Several were ill when she reached Staten Island; they were taken to the hospital. The vessel has been detained at Quarantine.—New York Herald. The shipwrights who struck work in Shields some time ago, in consequence of an attempt on the part of their empl o y ers to reduce their wages, persist in refus ing to submit to the proposed reduction, and the most of them have been set on again at their former rate of wages.—Newcastle Journal. MURDER OF THREE CHILDREN, AND SUICIDE, BY A FATHER. On Monday morning, about half-past eleven, a most fearful tragedy took place at East-street, Ipswich, when a man named Grayson, murdered three of his male children, of the respective ages of four years, three years, and eight months old, by cutting their throats with a razor, and afterwards cutting his own throat with the same instrument. An inquest upon the bodies vi as held in the afternoon at the Dove Inn, when it appeared, by the testimony adduced, that the father was a painter by trade, about thirty-three years old, and had been mar ried nearly tea years, the fruit of his marriage being seven children. He was always kind to his wife, loud of his children, and of particularly temperate habits. During the last five or six weeks, however, his appetite fail, d him, and he frequently exhibited a strong tendency to despondency, arising from the cares of his large family, whom he seemed to apprehend he should not be able properly to bring up. Latterly he suffered from acute pains in his head, producing lowness of spirits, and he sometimes was heard to say I shall never live to get through any troubles." On Sunday he retired to bed, and appeared to sleep as usual ; but after breakfast yester day cotnplaieed to his wife that he telt very languid and faint. Shortly after eleven o'clock Mrs. Grayson went shopping into the town, leaving her husband and children in the house; but she had not been absent more that halt an hour when she heard the an ful risings of what had occurred. As soon as she returned the shocking spectacle presented itself of the four bodies lying on the ground in the front roon, with their throats cut ; all dead —a razor lying between i.er husband's legs. It appears that no sooner had his wife left ail house than the Lill fortunate MAU said to the three deceased children, who were playing in the room, " Come to me here and play in the front room, and I will give you a halfpenny each." This observation was heard by his daughter Emma, aged eight, who wns washing up plates in the adjoining kitchen, and she in consequence left the kitchen and stood at the back door, where she saw her father take the babe in his arms and carry him into the front room, the other two children following. She then returned to the washhouse, but in a few minutes went into the front room, when she beheld her father and three brothers lying dead on the carpet. An alarm was given, and surgical assistance instantly procured, bur, of eourse, it was ineffectual. After a lengthened examination of several witnesses. the jury returned a verdict, that Gray son had cut the throats of Arthur, Walter, Frederick, and his own, while in a state of temporary derangement.

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17a. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.40; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.424, it follows that gold is 0.10 per cent. dearer in London thaa in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 1041 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.104; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13,101, it follows that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1094 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.07 per , cent, against England; but the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. An effort is again making at Leeds to induce the Lords of the Treasury to confer on that town the pri vileges of s bonding port. —Yorkshire Gazette. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. Yesterday afternoon Inspector Yates, of the M divi sion, who was bound over by the Coroner as the prose cutor of Frederick George Manning, and Maria his wile, for the wilful murder of Patrick O'Connor, at No. 3, Minver-place, Bermondsey, waited on Mr. Seeker, at the Southwark Police Court, for his sanction to allow a tradesman in the City to see the prisoner, in Horse monger lane Gaol. The Inspector stated that on the afternoon of the Bth of August a man answering the description of the male prisoner called at the shop of Messrs. Eastman and Yeo, stationers, No. 100, Cheapside, and requested to leave a small air-gun, concealed in a cloth wrapper. Mr. Yeo was in the shop at the time, and observed that the man appeared in rather an excited state, but being particu larly engaged at the time, he made no observations to the stranger, but received the gun and depositea it be hind his counter; and on the man promising to call for it the next morning he left the shop. About 12 o'clock at noon (on the day of the murder) the same man called for the air-gun, which was handed to him by Mr. Yeo, and he had not seen him since. Hearing of the murder, and the particular mode in which it was perpetrated, and observing in the newspapers the appreheniion and examination of the suspected murderer, he had every reason to b"lieve that Manning was the person who had called at his shop under the circumstances above de scribed. Mr. Yeo accordingly communicated with the police authorities, and it was at his request the present application was made, so that be might have an oppor tunity of seeing him. Mr. Sacker—ls it your opinion that the person who left and called for the gun is the man now in custody? Inspector Yates—From the description given to me by Mr. Yeo, I have reason to believe he is the party. Mr. Seeker (to Mr. Yeo)—Had you a sufficient op portunity of observing the man's features so that you might be enabled to identify him? _ . Mr. Yeo—l had, Sir. When he called on the morn ing of the 9th I took particular notice of him, as he was a stranger to our establishment. Mr. Seeker—Under those circumstances I shall fur nish you with an order to visit the gaol immediately, sa that you may have an opportunity of pointing out the stwscted person to the Inspector, if he is amongst the inmates of the gaol. The order of admission was accordingly made out by the chief clerk, and Mr. Yeo, accompanied by Inspecm- Yates, forthwith proceeded to the county gaol, where every facility was affirded them by the Governor. The male prisoners in the various wards were then mixed together, and Mr. Yeo was allowed to examine the fea tures of each minutely. After a close inspection of all present he was, however, unable to identify either of them as the man who had deposited the air-gun on his premises. They then left the prison and returned to the police court, when they informed the magistrate of their unsuccessful inquiries. Later in the day Mr. Adams, of the firm of Adams and Hellstard, pawnbrokers, of Bermondsey -street, waited on the magistrate, and produced a pair of pistols, which he said had been pledged at his shop by a person answering the description of Manning. The applicant stated that on the previous evening be was standing at his door, when he was accosted by one of the officers of the police, who asked him whether he had taken any pistols in pledge from any man during the last month. lie (applicant) considered for some momenta, and recol lected that on the 14th of August a man called and pname 24,me r fle Ile then minutely examined the pistol s i i r t o e d r d g g e e a r d n i t a q u J p a e a r n i e . n ( g )f s , 13 s a t r ( t ) d ls s i :i r d 4 1: . e d e g d a ve a t h N i arid found one of them had recently been fired, and that the other had not been used. His suspicions were im mediately excited, which caused him to come forward and produce them. Mr. Secker then asked him if he had made any in qUiries at the house where the man had given his address ? He replied that he had, and that the house was occu. pied by a Mr. Walsh ; but that person denied all know ledge of any man of the name of Jennings. Applicant then described the person of the man who pledged the weapons, and he said that he bad no such party ever lodging in his house. Mr. Seeker asked him by whom the pistols were ma nufactured ? Mr. Adams said they had engraved upon them the name of " Blanch, Gracechurch-street." Mr. Seeker said he had better leave the discharged pistol with Inspector Yates who would make the lieces sary inquiries, and report thereon at a future period. The pistol was then marked by Mr. Adams, and handed over to the inspector. In the course of the day Mr. Binns, as solicitor on the behalf of Manning, made an applicati,n relative to the sum of money, 201., which had been handed ov er to Mr. Solown,the legal adviser of Maria Manning, to be applied to the purposes of defence in the forthcoming prosecution. He said that out of the above amount he had received 5/. 165., a sum totally inadequate to defray the expenses which will be necessarily required fer his defence, and that the object of the present applica tion was for the purpose of requesting that a fair proportion of the money already advanced might be given up. He then quoted from " Chitty's Reports" a clause on the relative rights of husband and wife, and bearing upon the subject of his application, and which was to the following effect:—" In general every contract made with, or iecurity given to, a married woman vests in her husband, and be may sue alone to enforce the contract; but if a note be given to a married woman, as adminiatratrix, even by her husband and others, then, after her husband's death, she may sue the latter. If a gift or legacy, whether specific or otherwise, be given to ta married woman, for her own use, and at her own dis posal, without other words, this vests the beneficial interest separately in her, and in those cases, if no other trustee be appointed, a court of equity would treat the husband merely as a trustee, and compel him to act accordingly. But if the bequest be to a married woman for her own use and benefit without adding the words at her own fisposal.' the wife does not take a separate interest, but her husband is entitled." Having given the above quotation, which he applied on the part of Mare fling, that, at all events, half the sum already given up should be devoted to the purposes of his defence; that there were seventy-three sovereigns, besides some French Rentes of considerable value, found on Mrs. Manning, and which had no connexion with the pro perty of the murdered man; and he contended that Manning, as the husband, was justly entitled to the whole of it. Mr. Seeker said that at present he should make no order on the subject, but should take time to consider the matter. Mr. Binns then withdrew. CURIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday night last, J. Crineau took a ticket for Statcross, at Bristol, where he resides, intending to go to Sidmouth by way of Ex mouth. He lett the Bristol and Exeter down platform at the usual hour, 1.15, A.M., and at ablut 6. A.M., some labourers on their way to work discovered him lying on the up-rails, about half a mile above Wellington. As sistance was rendered, and he was promptly conveyed to the Half moon Hotel, Wellington, where it was dis covered that several ribs were fractured, his body was much bruised, and his head cut in many places. He must have lain upon the line for upwards of three hours. Mr. Blackmore, the intelligent superintendent of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Police, was sent down to make some inquiries, and he found that the unfortunate gentleman must have fallen through the window, us the doors were locked on the off-side. It is supposed that at so late a period of the evening Mr. Crineau must have felt drowsy and fallen asleep; but, startled by the whistle previous to coining into the Wellington station, he must have forgotten where he was, and from the lights, imagining himself in bed with his room in flames, scrambled through the mindow, and met the accident, from which, it is believed,, he has every chance of recovering. He is, we understand, registrar or births and deaths for one of the Bristol districts.- IVestern THE GAME SEAL . ON. — Partridges are said to be very plentiful and in good condition, so that sportsmen are likely to have " game" enough before long; but the poor birds will have a temporary respite in many cases, till the corn is off the ground. Grouse shooting and deer stalking in the north are the great royal and aristo cratic pursuits at this time, and th e t is said to be excellent, great quantities of game having been almost daily " bagged" by even ordinary shots, whilst "crack" sportsmen bag their " braces" by scores. Hares are also said to be plentiful, so that the pleasures of the field are likely this season to supply a satisfactory recreation to the loTere of the "dog and gun."—Newcastle jov.rnA MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

For delivery a good business has been concluded at 25s 3d to 25s 6d, and there are not free sellers. The mar• ket for Olive hai a firm aspect, and many sales have been made at 42/ to 43/ for Gallipoli, and at 40/ to 411 lOs per ton for other sorts; at these rates there were not free sellers, and the stock is moderate.

Taylor and Bright's circular states—Since the statement of imports was made up, there is a further considefable arrival, chiefly of spring corn, with which the market is now well supplied. During the week, though more rain has fallen than of late. harvest operations have received no interruption, and by the end of the we, k,st large quantity of grain will be housed. The trade has been very much depressed all the week, and where sales have been effected a further reduction must have been submitted to; at such a time price are often irregular. 0 ,ving to the harvest being so general, there was but a thin attendance of farmers. and a consequent small show of old wheat, [Led our mil- lers, notwitf standing a decline in Mark-lane, were free buyers at last week's prices. In foreign wheat but little doing, though we had more inquiry from disisiet More samples of new wheat were exhibited, quality not generally fine, or condition good, but reports are favour able as to the probable yield. Some fine Seal barley on the market, but maltsters are hardly general buyers yet. A continued good demand fur grinding qualities. We note no alteration in linseed, but the market is rather weak, and cakes are easier to buy. No trinsactioni in rapeseed, but a good demand for cakes, which are scarce.

Fr , m Europe little has !:eery rent ived, but from the United States large supplit.s of Indian corn and flour have come forward. The expo , is in the same time are small. - The weather has be« n far . from favourable for harvest operations, much re i n hiving fallen at n i g h t with a close and warm temperature during the day. A great deal of wheat in this neighbourhood is still unsecured. The trade has bEen cloracteriz,d by great dullness, and in the limited transactions in *heat and flour a decline of fully 2,1 per 701 b. and 6il per 1961 b. has been submitted to. Indian corn was held firmly at previous rates, but little bthiness done. Oats and oatmeal slow sal', at a decline of Id per 451 b. and 6d per 2401 b. Barley, with a fair demand, receded Id per 601 b. No change in beans and peas. At this day's market there was a fair attend ance of town and country dealers. Wheat and flour met a fair consumptive demand, at Friday's decline f2d per 701 b. on the former, and 6d per barrel on the latter. The demand for Indian corn was very limited; in the few sales 6d per 4801 h. less was taken, 253 6d being the top price for fine yellow. Barley, beans, and peas withou: change from our last quotations. Oats and oatmeal neglected. at Id per 451 b. and 61 per 2401 b, reduction. Several small parcels of new Irish wheat and oats were exhibited for sale, the condition of both being very had, were dis posed of at prices ranging from 5s 4d to 5s 10d per 701 b, and 2s 4d to 2s 7d per 451 b. New oatmeal, 24s to 255 per 2401 b. LEEDS, SEPT. 4.— The arrival of wheat at market to' day is only moderate, but the continuance of favourable harvest weather causes the corn trade to be very dull, • and old wheat is 25 per quarter, and new wheat fully Is to 2s per quarter lower than last week, and the millers buy for immediate consumption. Beans are also is per quarter cheaper, and oats rather better to buy.

FIRST DAY, SEPT. 4.—The great beast and horse fair began this day. The number of cattle offered far exceeding that of last year, drove after drove arriving in and around the neighbourhood on Monday evening, so, that it was with considerable difficulty pasturage could be found for the night. At St. Alban 's also there were great numbers, as well as horses of all sorts, sixes, breeds, and ages, in the different vicinities on Monday, where they were examintd and culled by London com mission dealers, Messrs; Anderson, Attwood, Cox, Grey , Quarterman, Dye, Philips, Binford, Collins, and maul others, they purchasing and sending away most of the finest carriage, coach, and hunting animals ; Fie" varying from 50/. up to 100 guineas each. This day pod second-rate riding and driving found buyers 5$ heavy sums, while aged and inferior were little noticed. It was computed that there was nearly 700 Welsh ponies offered for sale, b es id es a cons id erable quant i ty o'e forest and others ; best four years old, to match, fit for driving in carriage by ladies and others (under duty), sold well at from 14/. to 211. each ; ordinary ditto at from 101 to 121 ; still half at least remained unsold ' • good strong S u ff o lk, Y or k , and other agr i• cultural, dray, and waggon animals were in fair demands although prices ran full 20 per cent. lower than in 1848. Among the beasts there were some from &hung every breeding county in Fngland, Scotland, and Ire' land; the number of Welsh and Scotch black cattle far exceeding that of • Devons, Herefords, Yorks, and Short Horns. Judges were of opinion that there were in the gross nearly 1,500 more than were offered at the Sep' tember fair held here last year, at prices full 25 per cent. less. still many remained without a bidding being wed ° for them, so lukewarm were the graziers who came from distant counties even to make purchases. The London dairymen showed an apathy more thin usual in thei r dealings, some not buying more than half the quantity of other years. Three and four years old large stor e beasts must hive been very superior to make 101 Per head, some selling at from 81. to 91.; best Scots (veil fresh) went at from 71. to 9/.; Welsh, both north an d south, at from 6/. to 71.; smaller ditto, and Irish breed s at from 41. to 5/.; finest Short Horn and Yorkshire cow s near calving, from 16/. to 18/. each; smaller Alderneys• 131. to 151.; Heifers, 101 to 141.
