EXTENSIVE INCREASE IN THE DEMAND FOR SHIP-
PING AT LIVERPOOL.—The demand for shipping at
Liverpool has during the last week been of a most ex-
citing- character, and one feature of the sales is the
absence of speculative purchasers. Prices, too, for good
vessels are remunerative, and one firm alone (Messrs.
R. A. Munn and Co.) sold no less than 8,000 tors of
ships, including a first-class iron sailing vessel, of 1,300
tons burden, now- in course of construction on the Dee.
The price paid for the ship was most satisfactory to the
sellers ; and in nearly all cases the majority of the pur-
chases were made for the trade.

ley Cross, near St. Helens, before C. E. Driffield, Esq.,
coroner, on the body of John Canary, a- labourer,
twenty-eight years of age, who died on- Sunday morn-
ing last, from inflammation of the brain, arising from a
fracture of the skull, produced by Ellen Luney, n mar-
ried woman, residing in that neighbourhood. During
a quarrel on the 29th ultimo, she struck him a violent
blow on the head with a spade, causing a severe frac-
ture of the skull.—The jury returned a verdict of " Wil-
ful murder" against the woman, who was accordingly
committed for trial at the next Liverpool assizes.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT BOLTON. Monday,
at the Borough emit, Bolton, three desperate looking
fellows, named Michael. Sexton, Patrick Dakan, and
Patrick Murphy, were charked with highway robbery.
About half-past eleven o'clock on Sunday night, an elderly
man named John Ranson, in the service of the Telegyaph
Company, was passing down Newport-street. The prison-
ers accosted him nearthe York Hotel. Re avoided them
as well as hecould, and walked on rapidly. They followed
him, and when he got to the railway bridge they threw
him down, forceddirt into his mouth; kicked him severely,
and robbed him of two half-crowns and one shilling. A
brickmaker, named Edward Boardman, came up at the
time, and interfereiLto protect the complainant, when
Dakan threw his arm round Boardman's- neck, and at-
tempted to throw him down, whilst Murphy struck him
in the face, and Sexton kicked him. Boardman strug-
gled with Dakan and they fell together, Dakan upper-
most. At this time the police were heard approaching,
and Murphy and Sexton made off, but Boardman stuck
to the other prisoner till he was taken into custody.
The police had seen the three together a short time be-
fore, and, knowing them, they were apprehended soon
after. They were committed for trial at the next Liver-
