REPORTED MURDER AT RICIIMOND.-Thii matter
has been much exaggerated ; so far from Mrs. New being
dead, she was not at that time even in imminent danger.
It appears that, on the afternoon of Thursday last, about
five o'clock, William New went home much excited by
liquor, and commenced quarrelling with his wife, who is
now far advanced in pregnancy. In a fit of passion he
struck her a blow in her left side with some sharp instru-
ment, inflicting a deep wound, about an inch long. The
screams of Mrs. New brought in some of her neighbours,
upon which her husband effected his escape. Mr. Lomas,
a surgeon, of Richmond, was sent for, who examined the
wound, and pronounced it to be a flesh-wound, and not
dangerous.
Lady Fox and family, and Baron Nabuiz, were
among the passengers that landed at Blackwall Pier yes-
terday morning, from the General Steam Navigation
Company's mail packet Columbine, that left Rotterdam
the previous day. The Columbine brought the Dutch
mail.

Sir Robert Peel left his residence in Whitehall-
gardens on Saturday evening, for his seat, Drayton
Manor, Staffordshire.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

The arrivals of all kinds of Grain, of home produce

time of year ; but the imports of Ferign Wheat, Barley;
and Oats have been extensive. Fresh up to-day we received
a full average supply of Wheat, coastwise:as well as b 1
land carriage and sample, at least three-fourths of which
were of the present year's growth, and of very superi°l;
quality. There was rather an extensive number 0:

was a very large quantity of free Foreign Wheat offer

very sluggish state, and prices had, in some instances, I
downward' tendency. There was scarcely a sample :t
English Barley at market ; but the supply, of free 0;

all descriptions of British Wool, and a trifling advs-rbo

where apparent in the manufacturing districts, us woof
to the improvement in our export trade. Altbottof

past seasons. From this it is evident that the 031.01 °

very superior quality. It is estimated that,
the past week not less than 28,000 fleeces have b
in London, and transmited to Manchester Spe,bok,'
places. About 10,000 of this was flannel and
the remainder combing and Down Hoge,
far as the future value of wool is concerned we be ob:,
of opinion that, though a slight advance MO.' JO,
tamed in it, the improvement will not, for toepoort
supplies, exceed that at present noticed. Soutilif,7,

that the Colonial Wool now comes to band al 6t5
