WOOL.

The imports of Wool into London in the present week
hare been very unimportant, they having amounted to only
460 bales, chiefly from Germany. The demand by private
contract or all descriptions is extremely heavy, and prices
have a downward tendency, yet the stocks held by the
manufacturers are small. Most parties are looking forward
to the next public sales.
TALLOW.

The market is somewhat depressed as regards prices, both
on the spot and for the spring. The Money-market and the
high rate of interest charged by parties who generally make
advances upon Tallow at this season of the year, are said to
be the cause. The stock on the Ist of January will be about
26 or 27,000 casks, including those yet to arrive; therefore,
not much further decline in price, if any. For the spring
months it is 42s 6d to 42s 9d. Town Tallow is 42s 6d net
cash.

WINDSOR, SUNDAY E----VRNING.—The return of the
Court to the Castle, from the Isle of Wight, which had been
fixed to take place on Tuesday, has been postponed till Friday
or Saturday next, a letter to this effect having been received
from Osborne House by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. It is
not improbable that her Majesty may prolong her sojourn in
the island even beyond that period ; but this will depend en-
tirely upon the continuanee of the present favourable weather.
Should the Court not return to the Castle during the week,
her Majesty is expected to hold a Privy Council, at Osborne
House, on Friday next. . . _

The Duchess of Inverness has left Kensington Pa-
lace to visit Col. and Mrs. Wildman at Newstead Abbey,
Notts.

The Duke of Wellington left Apsley House, on
Saturday last, for Strathfieldsaye, Hants. The Noble and
Gallant Duke, after the Privy Council understood to be fixed
for Thursday next, at Windsor Castle, will receive a distin-
guished circle at the above seat.
A. requisition has been addressed to the Mayor of
Plymouth, signed by one thousand and ten persons, request-
ing him to convene a meeting to consider the present state of
the country. His worship has appointed the meeting to be
held on Friday next.—Deronport Telegraph.
ANOTHER MATCH BETWEEN CLASPER AND Po
COCK.—Many of Pocock's admirers being needlessly doubtful
as to whether the late race on the Tyne afforded a fair trial of
the parties, Harry Clasper has cheerfully issued a challenge
to Pocock, for another trial of his strength. The challenge
is, to row a sculler's match for 100 to 200 sovs. a side, 20
sovs. each to be deposited immediately, to come off on the
Tyne within eight months. This spirited offer of the uncon-
querable son of the " canny coaly Tyne" will at once test the
s►ncerity of those who at present are so clamorous about Po-
cock's abilities.

The General Steam Navigation Company have
placed a powerful steam-ship the Wilberforce, 300 horse-
power, upon the Newcastle station. It is expected to make
the passage to London in 27 hours in moderate weather.
William Barges, Esq., Q.C., the new Commissioner
appointed to succeed Mr. Boteler, in the Leeds district Bank-
ruptcy Court, is expected to enter upon the discharge of his

CHARGE AGAINST A MOTHER FOR ATTEMPTING
TO MURDER HER CHILD.—A mother stands charged with
no less a crime than that of endeavouring to murder her ille-
gitimate male child, not three weeks old, by leaving it quite
naked and uncovered, in a field, exposed to the cold wind
and pittiless storm of Saturday evening last. Between five
. and six o'clock on the evening of Saturday, the 29th ult., as
John Stallard and his wife, of the parish of Bosbury, in this
county, were returning from Castle Froome, when crossing a
field near the " Races," (the residence c f the Rev. Edward
Higgins), they thought they heard the cry of a child, and,
proceeding to the spot, found a male child under the hedge.
The rain was then descending heavily, and the poor deserted
infant was very cold and wet. On Tuesday Harriett Bowkett,
the mother of the child, was fully committed to take her trial
at the next assizes at Hereford, fur the intent to commit
murder.—Hereford Times.
GOOD EXAMPLE TO WORK PEOPLE IN MILLS, &c.
—A memorial to Sir R. Peel has been got up and signed by
the work people of different departments in the employ of
Edward Hollins, Esq., of Stockport, praying for the opening
of the ports for a free admission of all the necessaries of life,
and that Parliament may be immediately convened in order
to have submitted to it by Government a proposition for the
total repeal of the corn and provision laws, with all other
enactments which tendito fetter industry, and interfere with
the just rights and interests of the people. The memorialists
express in the course of their call on the Right Hon. Baronet,
" their greatest alarm lest there should be a recurrence of
those grievous privations which in 1641 and 1842, arising
from a high price of food and diminished employment,
afflicted themselves and the manufacturing districts gene-
rally."—Leeds Mercury.
