IPSWICH-DEC. 14.

We had an animated sale for whoat, and prices must be
quoted fully 2s per qr. dearer from last market day. We
had rather 6 larger quantity on sale than of late. Barley
was in fair supply ; the best samples of malting quality
sold freely at late prices, and this trade must be written
firm, if not a trifle dearer. than last week. No beans at
market, but a demand for them. Peas rather cheaper.

HULL-DEC. 14,

The trade, under the influence of the wet weather, short
supplies of foreign grain, and bad condition of home
growth, has been exceedingly firm, and on wheat a further
advance of 2s per qr. has been obtained, with a demand
running more upon good and common reds than on finer
descriptions, or Dantzic. All kinds of spring corn (except
barley) are again the turn dearer, and oats attract the
attention of speculators. There was a fair supply of wheat
from our own farmers, the condition of which was affected
by the late damp weather, and was not good to sell, while
dry samples were brisk sale at an advance of is to 2s per
qr., the current rates paying for these descriptions being
50s to 52s per qr., natural weight 631 b. A good sale for
foreign, and several parcels quietly taken off the market.
Barley remains; uxsettled, but full rates are paid for
grinding. Oats are scarce, with a good demand, and fetch
is more money. Beans are without alteration in value,
but peas are 2s dearer, with a short supply. The linseed
market is firm, and is dearer for some descriptions ; cakes
rather quieter, as is frequently the case about Christmas
time. The rapeseed market is about cleared, and our
quotations would be obtainable. Rape cakes were in-
quired for.

ATTEMPT TO MIIRDER.—On Monday, at Liverpool
assizes, Mary Price, aged 49, was indicted for having, at
Eccleston' feloniously and unlawfully administered to her
husband, William Price, two grains of white arsenic, with
intent to kill and murder him. In support of the prosecu-
tion, William Price, prisoner's husband, deposed to finding
his wife drunk on his return home from his work at the
glass establishment of Messrs. Pilkington, St. Helen's, on
the night of Saturday, the 11th September; that some
words passed in consequence ; that his wife left the house;
and that he did not see her again until the Monday night
following. On his return home on the Monday afternoon,
shortly ater four o'clock, found his daughter, Elizabeth
Price, a little girl, in the house, the tea set, and the teapot
on the oven. His son Edward works at the same establish-
ment with himself. Witness poured out a cup of tea from
the pot, and noticed it was very dark black. He drank the
crap at a draught, felt it to have a nauseous taste, and a cu-
rious sensation succeeded. He went giddy ; but by standing
a short time at the front door ho recovered, went into the
drank. He noticed his son had had a cup. Directly on
and poured out a second cup, half of which he
drinking the :ha' half
ing sensation in the throat, and vomited very much. After
cop he became sick, felt a sore and burn-
vomiting, ho cautioned his son against the tea, which he
poured into a quart jug and placed in the cupboard. He
got worse and worse, vomiting- much, and suffering all over
from cramp,
especially at the extremities, but did not feel
much pain in stomach or bowels. Was ill until the follow-
ing Friday. The Jury
after a short deliberation, found
her guilty, and sentence of death was ordered to be re-
corded against the prisoner.
A ROMANTIC AFFAIR IN READING.—A short distance
from Reading a
respectable family resides, who are
connected by the ties of consanguinity with parties
who stand high
amongst a certain class in the poli-
tical world. Belonging to this family is a very ac-
complished and pretty daughter. About three weeks
ago the mother and father came to Reading on busi-
ness, and put up at one of the hotels, at which place
was residing a gentleman who had recently left the army.
The gentleman by his agreeable and gentlemanly deport-
ment, made a very favourable impression on the daughter,
and she became much enamoured of this Lothario. This
coming to the father's and mother's - ears, they waited
upon the gentleman' and asked him his intentions.
He said at once that he was about to depart for Australia
—that he was not in a position to marry—in fact, that he
could scarcely keep himself. Her parents very properly
kept her in close confinement until she promised to banish
all thoughts from her mind of the scene that had
passed. She was accordingly released on making
this promise. The morning after she was liberated,
she went up stairs, and attired herself in a
suit of her brother's clothes, and put a gown over them.
She left the house on pretence of having a walk, but at
once made her way to Reading, and took off the gown
and bonnet and threw them over a hedge into a
field. In this disguise she went to the hotel and
asked for the hero of this narrative, and presented a
note. The young lady who waited upon her, never sup-
posed but that she was a boy, and of course delivered
the note, which ran thus : —Dear G—, you will find me
in the street, dressed in man's attire, walking up and down.
Do come. Ever yours, S----." The ex-military gentle-
man said 'there was no answer, which on being told the
young lady said, " Oh! but it is imperative ; I must have
one !" The deception was then discovered. She has since
bitterly repented her folly, and the hero is now on his way '
to Australia.—Berkaire Chronicle.
