6. P.M.—Her Majesty's yacht, Fairy, is passing through the
ships and yachts in the roads, which are all gaily dressed, a
Spanish barque firing a royal salute ; she steams up the
harbour saluted from the castle, R. Y. S. battery, Woodyear's
outfitting house, &c. At 10 minutes past six landed her
Majesty and suite at the Trieity Wharf.
THE CROPS AND THE WEATHER.—Wheat a full average;
oats not much under; barley rather short. The weather was
highly favourable to Friday, the 31st ult., and so impressed
were the farmers that it would continue fine, that very little
was carried in proportion to the quantity cut ; they let it
remain in the fields, intending to thrash as soon as they had
carried. On Friday night the rain commenced, and it has
rained every night since, while each day has been calm and
sultry, the sun being very powerful in the afternoons; the
wheat has, therefore, shot considerably, and if we have not
an unusual change will be seriously injured. The rains were
much wanted for the grasses and turnips, the fly having
carried the latter off as fast as they come up. Mange!
wurzel has failed from the great drought.
All is now bustle at the Squadron-house, preparing for the
regatta. The roadstead is crowded with yachts, the town
with company, and will continue so during the month. The
first match is on the 10th, for a piece of plate, value 1001.;
the second on the 13th, for a piece of plate, value 1001.
Fireworks in the evening. On the 15th will be sailed for a
Cup, valued at 501.; on the I.7th her Majesty's Plate; on
the 10th Prince Albert's Cup. The dinner is on the 12th;
the ball on the 14th. Rowing-matches and duck hunts are
proposed, to till up the time.

not to sell the large picture, for if you do you will do it on
your own responsibility." The auctioneer took no heed of
the document, but said he had a commission to purchase it
for 2001. At this sum it was put up, and there being no
farther advance, it was knocked down for the 2001. In was
understood that Sir Robert Peel was the purchaser. The
other lots sold, although in an unfinished state, fetched
good prices.

ANOTHER MURDER NEAR
BANBURY.

BANBURY, Ana. 5.--The excitement which existed in this
neighbourhood consequent upon the discovery of the mur-
derers of Mr. George Mobbs, and their conviction at the late
Oxfordshire Assizes, had scarcely subsided, when the feelings
of the people of this neighbourhood have again been pained
by the perpetration of a murder by a man of the name of
Cave, a farmer, residing at Hornton, a village about five
miles from Banbury. Cave, who is a married man, had
formed an improper connexion with a widow of abandoned
habits, named Hannah Treadwill, the mother of nine living
children, having :buried three. Two of the three were con-
sidered to be Cave's, as well as one that is living. Cave be-
coming somewhat reduced in his circumstances it is sup-
posed was the cause of his ceasing to supply her with money,
in consequence of which she and her children were often in
a state of great destitution. Some time since she applied to
the board of guardians for relief, but this they refused to
give 'out of the workhouse, and thither she would not go.
The whole neighbourhood has for a long time past been
disturbed by their quarrels, and sometimes .fights, in the
streets. Site followed him to Banbury, and a variety of
other places, so that he was scarcely ever free from her. She
was a violent person, and often assaulted him with stones, a
wound from one of which he now has on his face. On the
morning when the fatal occurrence took place Cave went to
his land, taking with him his gun. The spot is elevated,
and not more than a furlong from the village. The woman
followed him, snd they were heard in the vi!lage at high
words as usual. A person going in that directicn between
seven and eight o'clock met them returning towards the vil-
lage. They were then quarrelling; and shortly afterwards
he heard the report of a gun, but thought nothing of it.
Cave went home with the gun under his arm, and told his
wife and his mother he had shot Hannah. Before they
could recover from the shock the intelligence gave them two
other persons going towards Cave's land found the deceased
on the footpath, quite dead. The spot where the act was
committed is a peculiar one. A cartway is cut through the
side of the hill to ease the descent, and the footway is 12
or 15 feet above it. The footpath is not more than three
feet wide, and the bank is perpendicular. It is supposed he
stood in the cartway, and that she was on the footpath when
he fired the fatal shot. When found she was lying ex-
tended along the narrow footpath, and a stream of blood
had flowed five yards from her body. Cave was
taken into custody and lodged in Banbury gaol. He gave
two different accounts of the affair; one that they were quar-
relling and had a scuffle; that she had hold of the muzzle of
the gun, and that it went off by accident; another, that in
the heat of the quarrel he tried to get up the bank to strike
her, but being unable to do so he shot her. He then loaded
the gun with the intention of shooting himself, but had not
courage to do so.

An—inquest was held on the body on Wednesday, before
John Churchill, Esq., one of the county coroners. The body
presented an awful appearance, the slots having entered in
a mass on the left side of the neck, making a wound three
inches long, nearly two inches wide, and of great depth.
The carotid artery aad the jugular vein were both divided.
A part of the deceased's dress, with which were coagulated
blood and shots, were removed from the wound. The in-
quest was adjourned until Saturday, in consequence of
the principal witnesses being absent before the county
magistrates at Banbury, who were holding an inquiry into
the case.

The greatest commiseration is expressed for the prisoner's
mother, who is a very respectable woman. She had two
children only, the prisoner and a daughter; the latter, who
was a very fine young woman, poisoned herself a few years
since. Cave's age is about 46, that of his victim 40.
