REVIEW OF THIS BRITISH CORN TRAD

DURING THE PART WRY.

(From the Yerh.how Sayeess.)
The advisee of Is. per qr., which took place in the value
of Wheat at Mark-lane on Monday last, sad the sontineaese
of short supplies from the growus, embed the trade to open
with soma show et firmness at mast of the markets held in
the early part of the week ; sad at those places where no
stocks of old foreign are held, more particalarly ie the rural
districts, the rise in the London market met with a ready
resposue, and taking the kingdom collectively we are disposed
to estimate the rally in the prim of Wheat &am the extreme
point of depression about the dem of January at 2e. per qr.
Within the last few days there have, however, been map.
tome of weakness which lead as to doubt whether this
advance will be followed by a further impreveassat.

ALLEGED MANBLABORTEB.—This morning, Mr.
Wskley, 11I.P , held an inquest at the King's Arms, Notting-
ham-plus, Bt. Oiles'e, on Msry McDonald, an unmar-
ried woman, aged 30. The jury viewed the body.
which lay at the workhouse, and was sadly mutilated.
Elizabeth Blew, nurse in the workhouse infirmary,
deposed that deceased was brought to the workhouse
on the 9th instant, suffering from erysipelas sod wounds
is her hand, legs, and side. She gradually sank until the
22nd, when she died. A constable deposed that he knew
the deceased and the man Robert Boyce, a costar-
monger, with whom deceased lived, and who was then
in custody clawed with her death. On the 4th instant
deceased sad prisoner were drunk and quarrelling in Drury-
line, when the former said to prisoner, "I'll do for you."
In half an hour afterwards he saw deceased with a crowd
around her, and bleeding profusely from a wound in her
hand. Witnew was proceeding to state what deceased said
to him on the occasion, bat was stopped by the coroner, as
the prisoner was not allowed by the magistrates to he present
at the inquest. Mr. Tomlinson, sammoning officer, pro-
duced a short poker, much bent, which was found in
deceased's room, and with which it was alleged that the in-
juries had been inflicted. Mr. Bennett, surgeon to the
workhouse, stated that the body was covered with wounds,
and there was a ragged wound on the head, which produced
angestion of the brain and death. Mr. Jardine, police
magistrate, attended to take deceased's depositions on Thurs-
day. But she was too far gone to make them. Elizabeth
Dowses, living neat room to deceased, heard • struggle in
deceased's room on the morning she went to the workhouse.

head, but hew indicted there was no evidence to prove."
