Since our last report these markets have been very mo-
derately supplied with meat killed in London, but the ar-
rivals from various parts of the country have been larger,
upwards of 16,000 c trcasses. Primo Beef and Mutton are
in moderate request at full prices. In other kinds of
meat only a limited business is doing, at barely late
rates. A few baskets of Beef have arrived from the
continent.

SUSPECT ED MURDER OF THE RE V. J.
EVAIVS, OF THE WESLEYAN CONNEC-
TION.
The neighbourhood of Ban well, Somerset, and the adjoin-
ing district, wason Saturday. thrown into great consterna-
tion, by the intelligence that Rev. J.Evans, a well-known
and much respected conference minister of the Wesleyan
connection, had been found dead in the road leading
from Blackford to Banwell, and that, from the peculiar
circumstances under which the body was found, there
were strong suspicions that his death had been caused by
unfair means. About two o'clock in the morning, as a
man named Chilcott, who is in the habit of bringing
butter, eggs, and other dairy produce to the Bristol
market, was coming along the road with his cart, his
attention was attracted by a horse and gig without a
driver, which had been apparently drawn into a little
opening in the side of the road. He was rather surprised
at the circumstance, and looked carefully round to see
if the occupant had fallen out. He was not, however,
to be seen; but on searching the other side of the road,
the body of a man respectably dressed was found in a
dry ditch. His clothes were covered with mud, and in the
road were found various footmarks, as if a struggle had
taken place. A few minutes after the body was disco-
vered by Chilcott, another person named Charles Paddy
came up, and a more thorough inspection of the road was
made, when the Rev. Gentleman's mackintosh was dis-
covered some yards off, and apparently much trampled
on. An alarm was immediately given, and some la-
bourers were called up, when the body was identified as
that of a gentleman who had lately visited the house of
Mr. Ilardwich, in the neighbourhood, a local preacher.
Mr. Hardwich was accordingly called, and recognised
the body as that of the Rev. Mr. Evans. From the cur-
sory examination of the two men, Chilcott and Puddy,
no wounds were discovered, but both the men were
quite positive that the appearance of the road indicated
that a severe and prolonged scuffle had taken place.
They found his whip in the middle of the road, also
trampled on, and his hat a considerable distance off,
The whole affair is at present enveloped in much mystery,
but a searching investigation into the case will be made
at the inquest. The Rev. Mr. Evans was well known
among the large and highly respectable body of Wes-
leyans of this city. He was a tall and stout man, and
about fifty years of age. In the neighbourhood where he
laboured he had gained the affection and almost the
veneration of all around him, for his general kindness
of heart, urbanity, and true piety.—Bristol Mirror.

lIORRIBLE AFFAIR AT GUILDFORD.
A most tragical event has just come to light at Al-
bury, near this town. From the facts collected it ap-
pears that some time ago a man named Keene, who had
been in the employ of the South-Eastern Railway Com-
pany,at Shelford station, married Jane Broomer, a na-

,
tive of Albury, who had, previous to her marriage, given
birth to an illegitimate child, the father of which, it is
stated, was a policeman. About ten months ago Keene
and his wife were walking together on the Downs, when
Keene took the child away, and, after an absence of
three-quarters of an hour, returned without the child,
saying to his wife the should never see it again. She
frequently asked her husband what he had done with the
child, which she at last appears to have elicited from
him, for she told her mother, a very aged woman, that
her husband had thrown the child alive down a well,
situate in the Warren, in the parish of Albury. The
old lady was horrorstruck, and communicated the matter
to one of her sons, who immediately proceeded to Guild-
ford and obtained the assistance of the police. They
proceeded to the well and a man descended, and on
reaching the bottom was horrified at finding the complete
skeleton of a child lying on its back, widi one foot across
a small beam. He lifted up the body, but it fell to
pieces. He gathered up the bones and brought them to
the top of the well, where they were taken possession of
by the police, who immediately made search and ap-
prehended Keene and his wife, and they now remain in
custody, awaiting the coroner's inquest, which will be
held in a day or two. The depth of the well was 180
feet. The child was about two years and half old when
thrown down the well.
