THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 25.—N0 change in prices to-day'
MANCHESTER, AUG. 25.—During the week the
weather was very fine, with a more settled appearance,
which had the effect of checking the little animation
previously existing in the trade, and the transactions IS
any article have, consequently, been on a very limited
scale, at about the currency of the preceding market day.
The arrivals of English and Irish produce at Liverpool
and Runcorn are very scanty, and from abroad the im-
ports this week are only to a moderate amount. Our
market this morning was so exceedingly languid that
but little business could be effected in any article, and
although we repeat the quotations of this day se'nnigbt,
the turn of prices was generally in favour of purchasers:
DUBLIN, AUG. 25.—Havest has generally commenced
under favourable weather. Arrivals are few. New
wheat appears this week, and though the condition Is
rather soft prices are well supported. Oats give way'
Prime firsts flour in steady sale. Seconds and costae
stuff neglected. We had a dull market this morning.

down. In Indian corn very little business was done, at

ALLEGED MURDER AT THE RIVER LEA.—Between
seven and eight o'clock yesterday morning the attention
of the police of the N division was called to the disco"
very of the body of a man which had just been taken
out of the river Lea, and the appearance of which Jell
no doubt that he bad been murdered. From the dress
it is supposed that the deceased was a navigator. Upon
an examination it was diicovered that the arms and legs
were tied together, and were fastened to the left thigh
in such a manner as to preclude all possibility that the
deceased had committed suicide. The following is the
description issued by the police for the purpose of ewer '

and tdestructive fire broke out upon the premises be-
longing to Mr. Robert Kipling, a grocer, of No. 2,
Stanley-stret, New North-road, floxton. The flames
commenced in the lower part of the premises, and el"
tended so rapidly that the parties in the house had the
greatest difficulty in effecting a safe retreat. The eh•
gines of the London, West of England, and parish, were
soon on the spot, but in spite of the exertions of the fire-
men, the whole of the building and its contents were
consumed. The origin of the fire could not be ascer-
tained. The houses adjoining, on either side, occupied
respectively by Mr. John Madden, greengrocer (Ne•
2 and Mr. Thomas Buttershall (No. 3), are also
much damaged.
