YORKSHIRE MARKETS.

(From the Halifax Express.)
HALIFAX MA RE ET.—This market was rather brisker
last Saturday, particularly for low lastings and shalloons,
which were bought up with considerable activity, at a
small advance in price.
HUDDERSFIELD MA RK ET. —Th,.. demand for low
priced woollen cloth, at this market, last Tuesday, was
much as usual ; and the business done did not vary mate—
rially from that transacted on the preceding week.
BRADFORD Ma RIC ET. —Th;p market last Thursday, was
nearly as dull as that of the preceding week, and the sales
effected were nearly as limited. Low listings and plain
harks, however, were in rather more request, and in some
instances exceeded former prices.
LEEDS CLOTH MARKET, DEC. 3.—ln the Coloured
Cloth Hall, on Tuesday last, there was rather more busi—
ness done than on the preceding market day ; but, in the
White Cloth Hill, business was very dull.
DEWSBURY.—The blanket trade, in this town r. nd
Reighlinuthood, continues in pret.y much the same state as
I last week.

DREADFUL SUICIDE.—On Tuesday night
an inquest was held at the Bal, Leicester-street, L-2icest,t,
square, on the body of Mr. Benj itnin King, aged 32, an
extensive lace-dealer, at 7, Sydney's-alley. The body of
. .

the deceased was prostrate on the bed, with his kness
somewhat elevated, and his throat nearly cut through
the floor was covered with blood. The deceased bad lat ly
been much affected in his mind, the consequence of a
severe illness he had a few months ago. Mr. Payne a
surgeon, of St. Martin's-lane, stated that he rave direc-
tions that the deceased should be constantly watched. On
calling at the house on Tuesday morning Miss King-
exclaimed to him. " Oh, Sir, he has done the deed." Oet
Mr. Payne going up stairs be found the deceased in the
; soeition already described. He hail no doubt cut his
throat before the looking glass, and then, by a desperate
and extraordinary effort, flung himself upon the bed.._._
Several witnesses gave evidence of the deceased's state of
mind. The deceased was asked on one occasion if he ever
read; to which he replied—" Oh no, dear Sir, I have no
mind. My mind has been gradually going away; I
cannot account for it." Verdict—lasanity.
MYSTERIOUS CASE.—Yesterday an inquest
was held before Mr. Baker, at the Cnerry Tree, Bromley,
Middlesex, on the body of Robert Pitcher, who has for
many year; held a situation in the London Dock. The
deceased was a married man, but had separated from his
wife, and he had been lately secretly paying attention to
Frances Dryden, a middle aged woman and a widow, in
rhea employ of Mr. Adams, Harlow-house, Mile End. On
Sund iy evenins she was returning home with the deceased
from her sister's, along the banks of the River Lea, when
they came to a high stile, where the bank had a sleeping
descent of 15 feet. After the deceased had assisted Mrs.
Dryden over the stile, she stated that he suddenly let go
her hand, and fell backwards down into the river. He
rose, and exclaimed, " it's all over with me." He then
sunk, and she saw hint no more. She screamed loudly,
but no assistance came for ten minutes. When the drags
were procured the deceased was taken from the water, but
quite dead. The witness said she bad not quarrelled with
the deceased, and that they did not remain in conversation
at the stile. 'Fiery were both quite sober. A colour-
maker, named Chapman, who lives near the river, :Owed
that be saw the deceased and Mrs. Dryden near the stile,
and they were talking very louil!y. About 20 minutes
after he left them he heard a violent screaming, and on
running to the spot he found Mrs. Dryden by herself.
She was much confused, and she exclaimed, " He's gone,
he's gone," at the same time pointing to the water. He
asked if her husband had gone, and she replied, " Oh, no,
it is some one more dear to ms." He then went and
procured the drags. The Jury examined several witnesses,
but could not obtain any further facts than the preceding ;

Tross.—On S tturday se'nnight, a haulm stick, the pro-
pertywas set fire to and destroyed. A most extraordinary act
of rashness and of self-destruction occurred on this occa-
sion. A man named Worland, formerly whipper-in to
of
the Royston harriers, in a state of intoxication, ran into
the fire, and was very much burnt bef ere the people who
had assembled could get him out again. Having extricated
him from his dreadful situation, they held him fast till he
requested them to allow him to tie his shoes, when
stooping, apparently for that purpose, be watched his
opportunity, and rushing rgain into the middle f.f the
fire, he threw himself down. He was dragged out again
by the bystanders with great difficulty, and at considerable
risk and injury to theinselves—they pulled him by the
hand, the skin of which came off and was found next
nwrning near the spot. Tile wretched nian was carried
house and expired the next day. On being asked why
he did the rash act, he replied that " be was a fool."
