Tl-1E KINGSTON MURDER.

After the prisoner, Martha Bradish, had been
committed for trial upon the charge of murdering
her sister, she was taken back to the police-station,
and later in the day was conveyed to Horsemonger-
lane Gaol in a fly by Inspector Armstrong. Her
parting with her husband was of the most painful
description, and the wretched woman appeared
almost beside herself with grief, and she repeatedly
made use of the same expressions that were
uttered by her during her examination before
the magistrates, and which were to the effect
that the whole of the dreadful transaction
appeared to her like a dream, and that she could
not believe in its reality. While on her way
to the prison she expressed a wish that one of her
sisters, who is married, and lives at Wandsworth,
should come to see her as soon as possible, but at
the same time said that she should like to see her
husband first. Although nothing has transpired
to show that there is the slightest foundation for the
suggestion, there is very little doubt that the dread-
ful act was committed under the influence of
jealousy, and that the wretched woman believed
that an intimacy of an improper kind existed be-
tween her husband and the unhappy young woman
whose life she destroyed in so barbarous a manner,
but at the same time it is rather a curious fact that
the prisoner herself has never made any allusion to
this being the ground for her committing the act,
and the only explanation she has given is that she
must have been insane at the time. The unfortu-
nate young woman had only been with the prisoner
and her husband a very few days, and they wei•
subject to constant observation, so that if any-
thing improper had taken place it would in all
probability have been noticed, but it would seem
that nothing of the kind was observed, and the
deceased was looked upon as a very well-conducted,
respectable young woman. The husband of the
prisoner is a very smart, soldier-like looking man,
and about the same age as herself.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Notwithstanding that the supply of beasts on offer in to-
day's market was very moderate, the demand for all breeds
ruled somewhat heavy, at Monday's quotations. The show
of sheop was limited, yet the mutton trade was heavy, at
late rates. The best old Downs sold at .5s 10d per Blbs.
Prime lambs sold steadily at from 78 8d to 8s ; but other
breeds were dull at from 6s 8d to 7s 6d per 81bs, being a
deeline of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. About 400 lambs came
to hand from the Isle of Wight. Prime small calves were
firm in price ; but other kinds of veal were rather cheaper.
Pigs moved off slowly, at previous currencies.
