" THE LADIES THAT MADE THE BREECHES."—
The Joe Miller of a tailor who attended a ball-room, and
who, on being asked his name, said in a whisper, "It was I,
sir, who made your breeches," on which he was introduced
to the company as " Major Bridges," is eclipsed by one that
has just reached us. An active and voluble vendor of news-
papers and little books at a railway station is also a very
amusing retailer of any railway gossip that may come floating
with or flying away with the trains. " The great poet
141 Ladies and Gentlemen, has just gone by chat train.
We have many remarkable characters come and go at this
station. For instance, yesterday the two ladies that made
the breeches went by the train to " The ladies that
made the breeches! why, who or what are they?" "0 !-
you know, ma'am, the two young ladies L—, who made
the breeches—of promise of marriage." .

FRIGHTFUL ATT EMPTS AT
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
PRESTON, iSATURDAY.-A very painful sensation
prevails at the present time throughout the village of
Bacup and the surrounding district, in consequence
of the following tragical occurrence. It appears that
a young woman, named Anne Wallwork, residing at
a place called Ball Farm, had been living with a man
named William Forster, at Cheetham-hill, Manches-
ter, by whom she had one child. From some cause
or other she left Forster, and went to live at the
before-named village with her friends. Forster fol-
lowed her, and tried to persuade her to return with
him, and he would marry her. This she refused, and
after the female and the family had partaken of their
dinner on Wednesday last, she was left alone with
Forster and a little girl, whilst the others went to
work in the garden. Between two and three in the
afternoon he sent the girl out to purchase some
writing, paper,: and whilst she was gone he took a
razor trom his pocket and swore that he would cut her
head off. lie tlici made a most desperate attack
upon Wallwork, and tried' to cut her throat. The
two struggled violently together, but the fellow suc-
ceeded in inflicting a fearful wound on one side of her
neck, when the girl he had sent ou,t returned, and
having screamed, attracted Forster's attention. He
then left off his attack upon the poor creature, but
the moment he got to the foot of the stairs he cut his
own throat. He afterwards ran up-stairs, the blood
streaming from his wounds, and when he reached the
room he threw himself on the bed, and inflicted
another gash in his throat. Dr. Taylor was promptly
in attendance, and he sewed up the wounds in both
parties' throats. The young woman is expected to
recover ; but not the least hopes can be entertained
that the man will survive. That Forster intended
to murder the woman and also himself is clear, for
before committing the deed he made a memorandum
in his pocket-book, stating what amount of money he
had, and where his furniture was to be found.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 28.-To-day our
cattle market was better supplied than last day with all
descriptions of cattle from East Lothian, Angusshire,
and some lots from Ireland. Good sales but no advance
in prices. Best ox beef 465, second 43s to 455, third
383 to 41s, cows, •bulls, and inferior, 30s to 37s per cwt:i •
sinking offal. Our sheep market was well supplied with,
fine aged wethers, and brisk sales-prices a shade'
higher than last day. Best aged wethers bid to 6d,
second 5d to 51d, ewes 4d per lb., sinking offal. Fed
calves in demand at. from 65s to 68s, coarse ditto 56s to
60s per cwt.; pigs from 31s to 37s per do.; lamb from
Gs 6d to 8s 6,1 per quarter.
ComE, MARCH 29.-The trade continues exceedingly
dull, and with little business doing in any article of pro.
duce we cannot report any improvement whatever in
our market. Some arrivals of foreign grain, principally
maize, continue to take place. The supply, of home grain
is very limited, the receipts for the week being only-
Wheat, 105 barrels, at 15e 6d to 18s per barrel; barley,
341 barrels, et 7s to 111 per barrel; and oats, 2,183
barrels, at 7s to 10s per barrel. The few barrels of
wheat that appeared at market were taken at about the
rates of last week. Barley and oats, however, the latter
particularly, have again given way in value. In plain
pared Irish wheat we have not heard of any transa6-
lions; aud'but little business has been done in foreign,'
the value of which is unaltered. Of barley no sales have
been made, and in oats we have heard of only one sale
of a lot of black at 8s 6d per barrel, which is about the
present quotation for the article. For flour a mode-
rate consumptive demand is experienced, but we cannot
quote any actual improvement iu the value of the article.
Indian corn is the otily grain in which any activity- has,
been manifested, a moderate business having beendebe •
in the article, at the rates of last week.. llolders'are
endeavouring to establish an advance of 2s 6d per
ton, but we do not know that it has yet been realised.
