REPORTED MURDER AT RICHMOND.----This 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 homo 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 Nabuig, were
among the passengers that landed at Black wall Pier on
Sunday morning, from the General Steam Navigation
Company's mail packet Columbine, that left Rotterdam
the previous day. The Columbine brought the Dutch
mail.

VEGETABLE DIET.—Dr. Lambe, now in his
eightieth year, states that he has lived on a purely %ege-
table diet since 1804, and has brought up a large family
on the same plan with success,—Medical Times,

noon, Consols being 99, sellers for Money, and buyers at

The Cotton Market at Liverpool had a dull appear-
ance on Saturday, but a fair business was done. Sales
5,000 bales, including 1,400 for export. The sales in
Railway Shares were as follows : —Birmingham and Glou-
cester, 106; Chester and Holyhead, 61; Eastern Coun-
ties, 114; Grand Junction, New Quarters, 391; Lancas-
ter and Carlisle, 61 ; Liverpool and Manchester New,
341; London and Birmingham, 222; Ditto 32/. Shares,
371; North British, 34; Sheffield and Manchester, Quar-
ters, 134; South-Eastern, 374; Trent Valley 921 ; York
and North Midland, 373; Paris and Lyons, 2/. 9s. 6d.
It will be perceived, from an advertisement in this
day's Sun, that the largest sale of foreign provisions yet
announced is to take place on the 4th proximo, and the
result of which will tend to test more accurately than has
hitherto been the case, the real operations of
the new tariff, It is a monster sale, and
the great object of the importers is to force
a home consumption fur American provision,
and to remove the prejudice which has hitherto ex-
isted. A new feature of offering the bulk offered, duty
paid, will afford the trade and public generally a better
idea of the nature of the provision to be put up to auc-
tion than has hitherto been the case ; in fact, tho desire
on the other side to force sales of provisions generally
is so urgent, that the restrictive duty that still exists
will be met by the merchants by a corresponding reduc-
tion in the price on this side—hence the first essay by
the sale in question.
By the arrival of the London line-of-packet ship
Prince Albert, and the Liverpool packet Europe, from
New York, papers of the Ist inst. have been received,
but they are only one day later than the former accounts,
and do not contain any news of importance. Stocks
were better. There was very little alteration in quota-
tions, but that little shows an improvement. No alteration
in the rate of exchange is quoted, and not much doing.
There is very little going forward in Cotton in New York,
or any of the Southern markets. The last erep has
nearly all been received and disposed of, but "Jonathan"
complains most bitterly that in the experts a large in-
crease has occurred, while the cash receipts have dimi-
nished.
The Consol Market opened with firmness this morning,
the price for the Account being 99, for Money the acme.
Now the quotations are i per cent. lower. The Un-
funded Debt is in demand at 755. premium. Bank Stock
is at 1994; South Sea Stock at 1141; and the New
Three 'and- a-Half per Cents. have receded to 1013, after
having touched 1013. The Government brokers bought
Consols at 99.
In Spanish Stock not a single bargain has been
quoted to-day. The French Three per Cents. have
been done at 80. The Dutch Bonds have varied but a
,h4de. Old Portuguese are at 804. and the Converted
ponds has improved to 441 ; Deterred Chilian were at
52 ; and Mexican at 354 3.
The fluctuations in the Railway Shares have been
very constant, but with slight changes in value. The
Great Western, and the Birmingham and Gloucester,
',eve improved In most of the others prices have re-
ceded. The Provincial Bank of Ireland have
realised 194 premium, and Union of London, 2 prem.
