PROVISION MARKET.

We are without any Foreign Butter. A steady business
doing in Irish Butter and Bacon ; the former yields 84s. to
86s. for first quality, and the latter 465. to 525. for fine prime
Meat ; Bladdered Lard was quoted at 525. to 58s. according
to quality.
HOP MARKET.

Prices well supported, and the market brisk for all descrip-
tions. Fine coloury hops have in some cases brought rather
more money. The picking is now over, and the duty is esti-
mated at 230,0001.
TEA SALE, FIRST DAY.

The monthly sale of Tea has commenced, consisting of
4,497,18 lbs. The quantity plit up at the October sale was
2,605,038 lbs. The kinds sold were of irregular descriptions,
called odds and ends, which is no criterion whatever for the
market. The attendance of the trade was but very moderate.

DREADFUL MURDER AT KEIOHLEY.—This I
retired town, whose name is little heard of in the dark
records of crime, was on Wednesday night roused from
its quietude by the report, which proved unfortunately
to be too true, that a young woma❑ had been murdered
by her brother, and in her father's house. The circum-
stances of this unhappy affair, which we have endea.
voured to obtain as correctly as possible, we will
endeavour to lay before the reader :—James Burton,
who is a shoemaker, has hitherto occupied a dwelling
in King-street. He has been a widower some years,
having residing with him a son about 30 years of age,
and a daughter about 25. The son, whose name is
Charles, followed his father's occupation, and worked
in the house. He has not continuously resided at
home, but at times has been in the habit of seeking
work in other places. He has also at times been far
from cheerful in his disposition, and has often been
thought not perfectly eompos mentis by neighbours and
friends. The unfortunate sister, whose name was
Elizabeth, is represented to us as a remarkably fine
girl in person, and distinguished for neatness and
cleanliness, with an amiable and unassuming disposi-
tion. It has been the habit of the father to take his
pipe in the evening to a neighbour's house, and he
went out as usual about eight P st. He took his pipe
with him, and repaired to a ntighbour's house. What
occurred before the murder was committed, and after
the father's departure, is totally unknown. The interval
between his departure and the murder was exceedingly
short. The murder took place above stairs, and the
body was found on the floor with the bead nearly se-
vered from it. The unfortunate girl was lying on her
side, and from the fact of her hands being much cut and
disfigured, it is imagined that she struggled very much
before the murderer effected his purpose. Two knives,
such as shoemakers use, were found near the body, both
covered with the blood of the unfortunate girl. The
discovery was made by a boy calling to get measured
for a pair of shoes ; and, receiving no answer, he went
into the next house, and there found the father, who
returned with him, and thus discovered the murder. The
murderer at first hid himself behind a wall, and after-
wards gave himself up without resistance.—Abridged
from the Bradford Observer.

RIOT.—THE MILITARY CALLED OUT.—
About 12 o'clock last evening, we were considerably
surprised by information that the military were called out
to suppress a riot, alleged to have taken place in
one of the wards. From the best information we
have obtained on the subject, it appears that in
Queen-street ward rather a close contest is likely to
take place, the candidates being Mr. Eckersley,
one of the oldest and most respectable manufac-
turers in the town, and Mr. Borland, on the Conserva-
tive side ; and Mr. John Dobb and Mr. Acton, on the
Radical side. During the week a good deal of excitement
has prevailed in the ward, and for the last few evenings
parties of men, armed with bludgeons, have paraded the
streets, and the most wanton and diabolical assaults have
been committed on the peaceable inhabitants of the
town. The other evening a most respectable Ind
vidual was knocked down and beat at his own door ;
and on Weilnesday night another person, who, with
two or three friends,• was on his way home, was at-
tacked by the same armed party, and kicked and
assaulted in a most shameful manner. This was no
longer to be borne, and in consequence a great number of
hardy fellows armed themselves, and last evening peram-
bulated the streets, and in order to prevent the declared
intentions of the Dobbites from stealing and "bottling"
(to use Mr. Ewart's elegant phrase) Conservative
voters. About midnight the parties met in Queen-
street, words passed, and blows were soon had recourse
to. One man, a Conservative, named Crook, who re-
sides in Brotherton's-row, had his head very much cut,
was dreadfully kicked on his body, and conveyed to Mr,
Pennington's,surgeon,in a dangerous state. This so exaspe-
rated the hardy fellows above alluded to, that they in
return made a sally on the armed party said to be in the
employ of Mr. Dobb ; a regular fight was the conse-
quence, which ended in the discomfiture of the Radi-
cals, who, finding matters were assuming a serious as-
pect, fled in all directions. In consequence of this, infor-
mation was given to the Mayor, who immediately called out
the military, proceeded with them to the spot, and read
the riot act ; the crowd who were assembled in the
street either dispersed or entered the public•houses in
the neighbourhood, and the military paraded the street
for nearly two hours, after which they visited, headed
by the Mayor, most of the public-houses, which they
cleared of the company in them, and then marched to
the barracks --Wigan Gazette.

HORSE STEALING.—A man, named William
Moles, charged with stealing a horse, the property of
Thomas Burley, a small farmer, at Maresfield, Sussex,
was fully committed for the offence at Croydon, yester-
day. The robbery was discovered in a rather curious
manner. It appeared that Burley, in addition to farm-
ing a small quantity of land, is occasionally employed
by Mr. Shelly, the race-horse breeder and trainer, who
resides near Maresfield, and he had been entrusted by
that gentleman to take two brood mares to London, and
when he left his home, his own horse was safe in a pad-
dock close by. He stopped to bait at the Half Moon, on
the Godstone road, and while he was there the ostler
told him that a suspicious looking man had just put
up with a horse, which he had good reason to believe
had been stolen somewhere out of the county, and he
wished Burley to go and look at the horse. Burley at
first refused, saying it was no business of his, bqt he at
length consented, and on going into the atAble, be was
surprised to find his own horse,

LOOT LEVEN.--,,The origin of the name Loch
Leven is somewhat curious. It arose from the circum
stance of the number eleven frequently occurring in
matters connected with the lake. As already men-
tioned, it is eleven miles in circumference ; the lands of
eleven lairds at One time embraced its waters ; there are
eleven rivers and streams running into it ; it contains
eleven kinds of fish ; and in the adjoining plantations
are eleven kinds of wood. The name was, therefore,
originally, Loch Eleven ; but in the course of time the
E was omitted as at present.—il'aas and Wanderings

Great Metropolis."
THE HUNTING SEASON.—That period which,
to some ardent spirits, is worth all the rest of life, the
Hunting Season, is now close at hand. Next week
will see nearly every pack in full activity, and if the
corning season should prove in effect what appearances
give us reason to hope for, Leamington will scarcely 'os,
