NEWGATE AND MEADENIIALL

An unusually large arrival of Slaughtered Meat has taken
place ftr our markets during the past week; they having
amounted to 8,000 carcases from Scotland, and 9,000 ditto
from various part of England. About 600 of the latter have
been received from Cumberland per railway. These immense
receipts have had a most depressing influence upon the trade,
and the quotations have receded 2d per Bibs without effecting
clearances. The supplies on offer killed in the metropolis
have been seasonably good, and of excebent quality; but we
have had very little foreign meat on show.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFICZLDS.
About 200 tons of potatoes have arrived in the Pool from
France since this dsy se'nnight. The vessels bringing the
above supplies had sailed previously to the shipments of
potatoes being prohibited by the French Government ; but
we can expect no more from the other side of the Channel
for many' months. Coastwise the receipts have been small,
yet the demand is firm at the late advance in the quotations.

The imports of W W drool during the week have not exceeded

more business doing in English and the best qualities of
Colonial Woola at full prices, but foreign parcels command
very little attention.

EMBEZZLEMENT OF DIAMONDS.—Mr. Forrester,
the distinguished member of the London detective force, has
been in our neighbourhood (Dover) this week, on the out-
look for a party who has absconded with diamonds of the
value of 3,3001. in his possession. We learn that the indivi-
dual who has absconded with the diamonds landed at Folke-
stone, about a week ago, from a vessel, (of which he was
the commander) belonging to Greenock, bound from Monte
Video to London, having the precious articles in his posses-
sion; that he came to Dover on .liondav night last, slept at
the Horn Inn, Pier, and started on T-uesday moiling, per
rail, no one knew where. The most vigilant search had
been made to disc Over the fugitive; but he has, as yet,
eluded detection. The diamonds were contained in two
boxes, they formed part of the cargo of the vessel, and were
regularly entered, with the amount of their value on the
bill of lading.—Dover Chronicle.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT
WESTERN RAILWAY.—Upon inquiry on Saturday at the Red
Lion :nn, at Southall, as to the state of Mrs. Ibotson, who
was injured in the above accident, it was stated that the un
fortunate lady still remains in a very bad state. It appears
that Mrs. Ibotson was at the time of the accident sitting in
the third rompartment of the first second-class carriage of
the four o'clock down train, with her back against the par-
tition dividing that compartment from the second, in which
the deceased individuals, Halt and Bishop, were sitting face
to face. In fact, she was sitting back to hack with Halt,
and the same blow which struck him and Bishop struck her
with milder force behind the left ear, and knocked her for-
ward on her knees between the two seats, in which situation
she was found by Dr. Daniels, who, on asking her if she was
much hurt, was answered, "Oh, I can't tell. Everything is
going round with me. My reason is quite gone." She

WARWICKSHIRE, SATURDAY.—Last evening an inquest was
held at the White Lion, Tavern, on the body of Henry Peter
Taylor, aged eleven weeks, the illegitimate offspring of Jane
Taylor, aged twenty years, who had jumped into the War-
wick and Nupton Canal, with the child in her arms, on
Thursday night last. Hannah Taylor, of Hinningham, said
that her husband was the brother of Jane Taylor. She was
at her house on Thursday evening about five o'clock. She
had the deceased with her. • When she went away she was
crying very much, and witness understood that she was
going to Leamington. Witness wished her not
to go out, as it was quite unnecessary, but she
persisted in going. My husband had told her
that she must procure a fresh home, for he was unable to
support her. We had notice to leave our house in conse-
quence of her being there, which notice was up to-night
(Friday.) We have but one room for myself, husband, and
three children, and, therefore, had no room for her and the
baby. Phineas Page said—On the previous evening, as he
was coming from the mill, he saw something floating on the
opposite side. -Having procvred assistance, and got the
female out. she then ejaculated, " Oh, my poor baby." Her
dress having been unpinned, the deceased was found clacped
in her arms quite dead. The jury returned a verdict of
wilful murder against Jane Taylor, who was fully committed
to take her trial at the next assizes.
