ROBBERY AND PRESUMED MURDER,—At the
Liverpool police office on Saturday last, a can was inquired
into before the magistrates which excited considerable in-
tenet, on acconnt of its supposed connexion with the death of
an unfortunate man who a few days ago was found crowned in
the Mersey, near New Brightee. Mary Ball was charged with
being concerned in a robbery of 851. from the deceased. Sas-
pities of the robbery was first awakened in the following 'le-
gatee manner :—From the etc 'mental of the witnesses it ap-
peared that, on Friday night week, Polies-officer Tuck was
in Coulees/tut, when he met the prisoner, who beckoned
him up Sareetingstreet and asked him if she might trust
him, as she had something to say. He replied that she
might, and she then rested a story as to her busheadhavhm
left her for three months and ntorned, bet that he had
again gone away, and she would commanieate all she knew.
Sae then ..rieded to say that herself and her hesbitad
lived is Rc-street, sad on Tanday eight a gentles's"
came there whom he robbed of &al. la saes. Her
husband bad taken 801. and gives her M. She no
quested Tack to get the ftf. note, a note of the Leeds bank,
changed for her, and ha was to say nothing about it.
Under these circumstances she was brought to the police,
office, and, as so report of a robbery was to be found in the
police books, her ivory was at the tints disbelieved. Oa far-
ther inquiry by the superintendence( police it was ascer-
tained that, on Tuesday night, a man had been booked kr
safety who gave the name of John Richardson, end who
made a oomplaist of having been robbed. The man was
found by Inspector Bibby, on Tuesday night, I. the tap.
room of a hosts, to ltsdepenetteet where tne prisoners lived.
He was quite drunk. The inspector was varietal' to elicit
anything satisfactore from him at that time as to the robbery;
end though he made inquiries at several oleose, he was
unsuccessful I. obtaining the slightest Information cos-
setted with the circumstances. The man was subse-
quently discharged from custody on the Wednesday, and
it was sot afterwsrde known what became of him
Mr. Soperiateadent Clough, having obtained &clue that the
man's friends lived ate place sear Loads, wrote to moortain
whether he had :enticed and received an answer to the
effect that he left home on the 30 h of October last, after
drawing from 1301. to 1601. from the Leeds beak, sines
which time they had beard nothing of hiss. Officer Tack
was then directed to sake further inquiries, the result of
which was, that the man found drowned a few days ago at
New Brighton answered Richardson's desciiption exactly.
The particulars as to the boding of the body were given to
the Daily New of Friday lest. A brother-in law of the
deceased ideutofied the clothes which were produced in court
be officer Tuck es those which the deceased wore when he
lift hems, and be had no doubt, from the description gives to
him of his persocal appearance, that he was his relative
Riche:deem He had about 1501. in Leeds local notes
when te left home, bat he (the witness) could not
idintify any of the notes. It appeared that the note found
on the prisoner was a note of the Leeds Beak. Mr. Clough
deposed that at the inquest the foreman of the jury ex-
pressed en opinion that there had been some foul ploy in
Telerte* to the death of the deceased, but, as there was no
direct evidence, a verdict of " Found drowned" was re-
turned. The body was interred in the buriel-ground of
' Wallasey Church. The only article found on the °seemed
was a key. He had no money about him. Mr. Clough stated
that the p ace in Redeem; stmt, which was • tap-
,oom. had been let to the prisoner's husband, who
engaged Boa the day before the alleged robbery. On Wed-
ne.dsy, the day after the robbery, the prisoner's husband
left her arid went to the neighbourhood of Wallasey, near
where the body of the deceased was found. The palmier
afterwards sent her brother to look after him, but he re-
turned without being able to trace him. Mr. Rushton
existed the prisoner to be remanded, observing that the
ease Iris one which called for the most serious investigatica,
end gave directions fee the exhumation and examination of
die body, ordering also other necessary inquiries to be
made, with the view of clearing up the mystery in which
the affair is at regent involved.
DOVER HARBOUR Sienlox.—On Friday, at elenee
o'clock, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Warden of the
Ciaqe Porte, arrived here from Widmer Castle to presidi et
the harbour board. On his grace entering the town a salute
of 19 guns was fired, and he was received by the lieutesemb
governor, Colossi Tilden (commandant), Colonel ?M em
2e., and a guard of honer, with band end colour, from the
60th (Qoon's Own), eolauended by Major Long, At this
board there present—the Duke of Wellington, R. H. leak's-
' sew, Esq., Sterilise Finish. Req. (mayor of Dover), J. P.
Plumptre, Esq., M.P.. W. Dates, E-44 , M.P., Sir Brook
&riga, Bart., Capt. D'Aetb, and Thomas Papillon, Esq.
At thb meeting, we understand, it was ordered to proceed
with the deepening of Dover Harbour forthwith, as also with
regard to the construction of the patent slipway in the Pent ;
to adopt measures to rotes. the shore to the eastward of the
harbour•, to make a parapet wall to protect the esplanade
walk ; to repair the south pier-head ; to remove the dry
dock in Dover harbour ; and also to repair the footbridge
hawses the clocks. In the course of the meeting the duke
expressed his determination to do all he could so long as he
lived to protect the town of Dover from being washed
away. We hope ere long that the commissioners will
erect a carriage road between the clock houses, which
would be of great canonistic'. The capital fee earryieg
out the principal part of the proposed works, we sur-
mise, will be from that borrowed under the realist act of
parliament. Amoag other matters be'are the eenemis-
'loners, the report of Messrs. Walker and Hardwick* ea the
24.nith Lent ReLway was adopted. These gentlemen see no
ream to recommend the commissioners to imp ;se the scheme,
as laid down by Mr. Taylor. On thecontrary, they conceive
that the ammtraction of each railway must be advantageous
to the town, and especially to the harbour, as a mesas of
bringing increased traffic end dues. After the session his
Grace walked round the Harbour of Refuge works, mow
pipit/ by the worshipful the Mayor. and several other com-
missioners, and we could not help observing that his Grace
was very attentive to, and conversed meet tantilierly with,
oar youthful Mayor. At two o'clock the noble duke left
Dover by the S,uth Easters Railway for London, nailer
another salute of 19 vas from the Drop Redoubt at the
Wiotern ideinhts.— Doter CArrnic,e.
THE BURIAL 8111171C11 QUESTION.—The Yorkshire-
Rum :priests its sorrow at finding it necessary to Flea the
followieg circumstances on need:—Oa Sunday the 4th
inst., John Gully, Raq , of Aekworth Park, late one of the
representatives of the boron. h of Pontsfrict, was deprived
by death of a daughter, • young lady nearly 14 years of age.
The posing bell at Ackwortk announced the melancholy
bereavement; and everything was arranged for the funeral
to take Vice on Thored.y morning. The sexton bad com-
menced opening the ground on Wednesday; and at the
eleventh hopr a note arrived from the Christian minister in-
forming Mr. Gaily that the rentsins of his child would not
be admitted to partake of Christian burial service within
the sacred edifice of the church ; but the vicar was willing
that the corpse should be interred within the walls of
the churchyard. The reason of this determination is, that
Mir Gully and her mother belonged to the catholic commu-
nity, but Mr. Gully and his sons are protestant,. Indeed,
the latter attended Pontefract church on Sunday last.
Under the circumstances, Mr. Gully refitted to have his
daughter interred without being taken into the church in
the usual manner, and came to the determination of adopt-
log moth r worm. He is possessed of a field adjoining the
churchyard. Hers he had a grave dug to receive the re-
mains of his daughter, and on Thursday morning she was
interred, the catholic priest officiating on the mournful or-
melon. Public opinion in the neighbourhood is loud and
deep against the unfeeling and enchiladas xAI of the vicar,
and sympathises with Mr. Gully and his family in their be-
reavement, which is increased by the intolerant conduct of
the reverend gentleman.

bad risen within 80 feet of the surface, and never would

tafted from the so-called Avestan wells in London bad
bees greatly diminished by the sinking of new wells. Many
of the large brewers in the metropolis who obtained water
from theft wells had beau greatly inconvenienced by the
failure of the supply ; and he bad received a letter from •

sewage depth at which water could new be obtained from
meetilled Artesian wells in London was 80 feet below the
Trinity-house water-mark ; and be believed that in 20 or 26
leers more water would set be obtained at a less depth than
ISO lift This was, as he had said, a subject of vast impet-
us* to the inhabitants of the metropolis, who had not
sew a supply of water equal to one.fourth of what was
required for their ordinary use. The reverend doctor,
Misr going into • lengthy sod elaborate geological descrip.
ties of the soil is the metropolis and the neighbouring die
tents, illustrating his observations with well-executed and
I interesting plans and section, proceeded to inquire by what
gleans a suMeient supply of water could be obtained for
the inhabitants toe metropolis ? He considered that
an ample supply might be obtained from the Thames
in th neighbourhood of Henley, af .er that river
had been fed by the Leiden, the Kennett, and other
tributary streams. The weer might be conveyed to Lod•
don by an open aqueduct of sufficient depth, parallel with
the Great Western Railway ; end, as it should have a fall of
three feet, it would flaw without the aid of any engineering
works, and might be brought to a reservoir in the valley
north of Paddington. It would there be at • level of 100
fest above high water mark, and as that level two-thirds
of the inhabitants of Leaden might, by means of an
engine, be supplied with water ft high-preemie. The
rev. gentleman concluded by saying that, upon careful
consideration, this plan appeated to him the most feasi-
ble that had yet been suggested for affordiog to all the
inhabitants of this metropolis an abundant supply of
pure water; and he sat down amid loud sod general ap-
, gum
AVir a few woods from Mr. CLUTTLIIBUCK, in explana-
tion of some of the sections which had been prepared by him,
Mr. Tire said that, as • member of the instiftfte, he felt
bound to tender his thanks to the very rev. dean for the
interesting paper with which he had favoured them to-night.
(Hear, hear.) This wan not a mere question with regard to
the nature of Artesian wells. He hat not beta aware.
before he heard it from the rev. dean, that an Artesian well
was one that was coustantly overflowing but of this there
mild be no doubt—that what were called Artesian wells
required frequent deepening, and were a source of mutant
expense. He sincerely hoped 'het the government would
tike up this question. (Cheers) It ought to be looked
upon as a national question; for a large city like eds, con-
taining so immense a population, ought not to be left de-
pendent for the supply of se important and necessary an ar-
ticle as water upon private companies or individual specu-
lators. (Hear, bees.) He would not exprem any opinion as
to the means by which • sufficient supply of water should
be obtained, but he believed that a public dheussion of this
nature would be attended with very beadiest results.
MLR. STIPHINION expressed Ina gratification etch' paper
which had been read by the rev. doctor, and observed, that
theaphire did net wish to give any opinion as to the mode
ia which the rev. gentleman's views should be carried oat,
he muse esy that ha had Dome doubts as to the practicability
of the plan he had suggested. He thought that a measure
which might tend to obstruct the navigation of 10 important
a river as the Thames should not be decided upon without
most careful coasideration ; but the obstruction of the
waters of the tributary stream' would not be open to the:same
objective. He quite agreed with the reverend Doctor that
it could not be expected that anything like an adequate
wilyJ of water could be provided from the metrepolh from
Artesian wet s.
Mr. Hiennanam expressed his opinion, founded upon ex-
perience which he had had is Watford and the neighbour.
hood, that a sufficient quantity of water might be obtained
by means of Artesian wells to meet the wants of the inhabit-
ants of the metropolis.
Mr. W. Holum said that, as the owner of an Artesiu
well in the vicinity of Gwen 11-street, his experience tended
to maim the dean's views as to the inadequacy of such
wells as a source of supply to the people of Lelia'. It had
been found aseessary to deepen the well twice, and its work-
ing had been found very expensive, as the pipes and joint.
were emstently setting out of order.
Mr. Diceuesow had had a good deal of experience with
regard to Artesian wells in the valley of the Coln. He had
bared wells la four different places to a considerable depth,
and in none of them did he fled the water rise to the sur-
face, although it roes somewhat above the level ef adjacent
epilA
o gen gs.
tleman said he knew that an ursagement had been
made by some of the brewers who obtained their supplies of
water from what were called Artesian wells that they should
not brew on the same days, in order that they might all base
a suffident quanti of wet. r.
Afters few word. from Dr. Bocuftern in reply,
lir. STANFORD expressed his thanks to the omen of the
institute for having allowed him the opportunity of attend-
ing • discussion in which, as a member of the legislature,
he felt great interest. He thought they were much indebted
to the very rev. dean for the interesting information which
he had afforded them on the subject. The question was oae
in which his (Mr. Stanford's) constituents took much
interest, and be hoped it would receive the attentive coed-
duration of perlima•nt.
On the molten of the CHAIM/At, a vote of thanks to
Dr. Rockland was unanimously carried, and the rev. doctor
having briefly acknowledged the compliment, the proceed-
' ft terminated.

A VISIT TO THE ENEMY'S CAMP.—The Parlw
mentaty and Financial Reform Association have come to the
determination of holding a meeting in the County Hall of
Aylesbury on an early day. Query—Will Mr. Disraeli and
his friends attend, and sanction this legitimate method of
making that elan of the agricultural population, for whom
they_ profess a* much sympathy, parliamentary electors ?
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.—A gentleman
named Quick arrived at Plymouth about the 20th of Octo-
ber last, and took lodgings at Harris's Naval Hotel, Barbi-
can, Plymouth, inteoding to await the arrival of the emigrant
ship Stratheden, Mr. F. Farmer, commander, on board of
which ship he was engaged u surgeon. On the 6th instant,
it appears, he quitted the lodging-house without leaving
word where ha was going and has not been since heard of.
The fact of the whole of his luggage having been left at the
inn shows that he did not intend to leave the neighbourhood,
sad great fears are entertained that some 11l fate which time
may possibly disclose has befallen him. Search has been
made ia this locality, but no tidings has yet been gained of
him. The ship Stratheden arrived at this port in due
course, and after waiting some time for the missing gentle-
man, procured another saw on, and sailed for her destine-
Om on the 12th instant. Mr. Quick is described as being
about 44 years of age ; his appearance, however, indicated
his being beyond 60, of middle stature, dark complexion,
rather sallow, and grey hair. He had resided some years
since In Landon, but was not a native of that city.

long as they last, Potatoes will be forced into consumption
to as mama to Wasters mere or less with the as of breed.
Our retrospect of the wheat trade at the principal provin-
cial markets need Lot occupy much apace. The general
character has been km, but very far from lively, buyers
heels, in most mess coafinel their purchases to as narrow
limits as has been compatible itch their immediate regales-

meats.
At Liverpool, on Tuesday, prices underwent little or no
change ; sad the business done at that place on Friday
was at rates scarcely equal to those current earlier in the
week.

The Leads and Hall markets were thinly attended on
Timidity, and though rather more money was in partial in-
stances realised far really fine qualities of wheat, the common '
runs hung heavily en hand.
At Birmingham, on Thursday, an advance of Is. per qr.
was established on the bat rune; and at Bristol the turn was
in favour of the buyer.
The asoognm from Wakefield on Friday are very dull, and
state that though wheat was offered at an abatement of Is.
per qr., few sales were made.
Ac some of the shipping ports on the east ooast, as well as
at several of the farmers' 'markets in the interior, wheat has
been held la. par qr. higher, which has, however, tended to
chock the sale: . .

Fuse Sootbuid we have nothing new to report: both
at Edinburgh and Otsego+ quotations of wheat remained
about the same on Wednesday as on that day week, but the
London advice. of Monday gave a firmer tone to the trade.
Oar letters from Ireland make no allusion to the state of
the potatoes in the pi's, from which we conclude that there
was net much to complain about. Further purchases of eats
having been made ter the English markets, prices had
tended upwards, and the value of wheat had also inclined
that way. In Indian oorn there appears to have been very
little business done.
The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London daring the
week ending this (Saturday) evening have amounted to
only 2,899 qrs., and the receipts per railway have also been
small, whilst the quantity exhibited at Mark-lane by land-
carriage sample' from the home counties has been quits
trifling.
The insignificance of the supply would have rendered
extensive operations impracticable, even if our millers had
manifested any disposition to purchase, but such hes not
been the case; and unimportant as has been the quantity
received, it has proved Guth :lent to satisfy the demand.
Too little beamed was dune on Wednesday to warrant
any change in prices; the inquiry wee, however, leas active
than in the beginning of the week. On Friday there was
dimly a sample !rub up, either from Essex or Kent ; but
a few panels were offered from Lincolnshire and Cambridge-
shire. Sellers did not seem inclined to accept less money
than before, and purchasers appeared somewhat reluctant to
paw previous priors; the tranaac:ions were courqueatly of
little moment.
The wind having, wail the last day or two, been from
the south and west, we have not had many arrivals from
the northern and eastern parts of Europe, and the total
quantity
_of foreign wheat reported has amounted to
only 8,808 quarters. The demand for the article having,
however, been slow, importers have experienced consider-
able difficulty in making sales from on board ship. The
principal town millers have, fur some time past, bought
but little in the market, and the cowry inquiry has
been on a restricted scale. This has also been the ease
during the week now shoat to close ; but as the damp wea-
ther is likely to affect the condition of the new English
wheat, an improved demand for old foreign is anticipated,
and holders of the latter have therefore remained very firm.
The prices asked for all good qualities were as high on
Friday as in the commencement of the week, and there was
not the slightest ditpditiou to press sales.
Quotations of flour have undergone no change since our
last, but the rise in the value of wheat on Monday has not
been followed by any improvement in the demand for the
manufactured article, the bakers having conducted their
operations with a good deal of caution. Really fine French
flour has been saleable at previous prices, whilst doubtful
land inferior sorts have been wholly neglected.
Supolies of home-grown barley have not increased, and
the gr.ater part of what was offered on Monday having
then been cleared off, the show at Mark-lane has since been
quite moderate. Superior malting_ qualities were easily
placed, as well en Wednesday as on Friday, at terms quite
equal to those previously paid, but the commoner descriptions
were neglected, and scarcely sold so well as on Monday last.
The receipts of barley from abroad have been tolerably
sad further supplies are believed to be close at have ; this
has tended to check any further advance, but the recent
improvement has been steadily supported, and good sweet
samples have been taken off pretty freely. The
LaT'saaner in which the value of barley has hitherto beet
supported has rendered getters of milt unwilliag to make
any concession and though the operations in the snide
have net been by any means extensive, former terms have
boon about maintained.
Towards the close of last week we had liberal arrivals off
eau ; since they the receipts have b-en moderate, embracing
oaly 19,731 qrs., inclusive of 16,949 qrs. from abroad. The
mu in thissEn has remained in a very lifetime state, the
provaillag 'on that supplies are likely to reach us
ere Ireland as well as from abroad
laving the large dealers to act on the reserve. The
bedew dam has therefore beta principally confined to sap-
Mpiag the Immediate wants of needy consumers, who have
=Animal quantities at prices similar tr those of
last, shin the preference to old foreign corn. New I
oats, lades very fins, have been quite neglected, and might
in some saws, where it was necessary to clear Teasels, have
boat bought cheaper oa Friday than in the beginning of the
wow.
BOWS have not excited much attention, and their value
has undergone no change requiring notice. The stock of
Egyptian being reduced into a narrow compass, full terms
have been asked for good sound parcels.
White boiling peas have been freely offered at the late
decline, at which they have sold slowly, and the inquiry for
grey and maple peas hu likewise been tardy.
- Ratios having flitting cargoes of Indian cons to dispose of
have Waisted on late terms, which being generally deemed
too high, few bargains have been closed.
Foliation Coax.
By our continental advieu we perceive that the tendency
of prices had been rather downwards at some of the prin-
cipal markets, the supplied though small having kept pace
with the demand. More business appears to have been done
in wheat at Dantsk than at any of the Lower Baltic ports,
though quotations were, and have all along bees, relatively
high there. Oar letters front thence are dated the 10th inst.
The inquiy for wheat had, since the beginning of the week,
slackened; about 2,000 qrs. had, however, changed bands
in the condo of three days, at prices much the same as those
previously paid ; inferior old and new mixed parcels were
then quoted 365. to 375. ; high mixed, weighing 611bs. to
62ibs., 42e. to 43e. ; and sped mixed to fine mixed, 375, 6L
to 395. per qr. free on board. A large vessel, capable of me'
eying 4,000 qrs., had been chartered at 41. for Liverpool, and
ear to load 1,600 qrs. for London at 3s. Bd. per qr.
From Konigsberg we have slim accounts of the 10th inst.,
iaforming us that supplies of wheat from the farmers in the
asighbourhood had increased, and the inquiry having at the
MIN time fallen off, prices had given way fully Is. per qr,
Flue high-mixed qualities, weighing 611b5. to 6111135. per
bushel, were then obtainable at equal to 38e. to 395. 9d. ;
mixed, of 601 b. to 61Ibs. weight, at 363. to 375. ; sad red at
335. to 365. per qr., free on board. In the value of bailey no
change had occurred, and there had not been much doing in
the article. Freight to the rut coast of Great Britain was
41.6 d., and to the west coast ss. 63. to 6s. per qr. for wheat,
with ls. last money. The weather was mild and damp, and
the reads bad, which would, it was thought, check supplies
from the growers.
At Stettin, oa the 10th Nov., wheat was difficult of dis-
posal, and previous prigs were barely maintained. Pomera-
nian red, weighing 621bs. per bushel, was quoted 365. 6d. per
qr., free on board. The inquiry for barley had slackened,
and good 621bs. quality had been offered at 17s. per qr.
From Rostock we have letters of the 12th inst., by which
we learn that; the transactions in wheat had during the pro.
ceding week been quite unimportant, holders having on the
one hand manifested great reluctenes in submitting to any
reduction, and purchasers having on the other declined to
pay former rates; new, varying in weight from &Oita. to
631bs. per bushel, bad Wen held,at prices ranging from 358.6 d.
up to Ws. 6d. per qr. free on broad ; of old no stocks rs-

stand on hand. Freight to the east coast was 45., and to
the wen nest 4s. 64. to 6s. per qr. fcr wheat in full.
At Banbury on Tuesday, beano in wheat Ina very

higher, and there was not moth daisy in either.

At the French poets t►e tendency of prices seems
to ►ate bees dowawards, sad a good deal of =Limy appears
to have hem assaiketod by holders to sell.
From the Modlttarraseaa ports we have nothing new to
. _

By tM most recently received advices from America, we
learn that supplies of grain and dour from the interior to
the ports on the eastern coast bad Increased, and that prices
had ersosequently given way. Our New York letters are of
the ekh inst. Comparatively little had been done there for
Almost, and though the load demand had bee active, the
value of flour had tend.d downwards.
