Pittt.t.ll.3, on behalf pf.the defendant, impressed
'contrition for the offence, which, under the influence of
licluor; he had been betrayed into, and stated his cliviit'S
willingness to mitigate the injury by making any coni-
pensatron in his, power:
The CHAIRMAN, in summing up, called the Jury's
attention to the fact that the indictment charged only
the attempt, while the evidence went to prove its in!'
perpetration, a circumstance which he considered fatal
to that part of the indictment, and it only, therefore,
remained for them to say whether, as respected the
common assault, he was guilty or not ?
The Jury, after a short conference, found him Guilty generally.
TheCliAl OMAN, in pronouncing judgment, regarded
the verdict as applying to the common assault ,lily., •
and for this he seatenced him to three monthe.,.iiiiiri.

DRZADVUL NIIIRDER." We have just heard," says
the Shrewsbury Chronicle, gi that a murder was com-
mitted at Wrexham, Denbighshire, on Sunday night.
Mary Woolana',-whose husband lives at Marchwiel, left
`her family about two years ago, and residei in a house
of doubtful character. Her body was discovered in a
mangled and horrible state. Spots of blood were upon
her face and neck ; several blows had been inflicted
upon her left temple, and down that side of her body ;
several ribs were broken, and her thigh lacerated. The
top bar of die kitchen grate was found near the body.
A man, named Samuel Roberts, is suspected to be
guilty of the crime. He is a blacksmith, from Man-
chester, and lived some time at Wrexham. This mail
had by many beef considered a bully or procurer for the
house where ts the murder was committed, and it is
stated that some threatening expressions were uttered
by him in a public-house. When the murder was com-
mitted, it is supposed that the parties were in a state
of intoxication."

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, OCT. 24.
Last week's arrivals of most kinds of Grain were good, and the
'apply of Flour was large • and there was this morning a moderate
flesh supply of Wheat, Barley, Beans, antrPeas, from Essex, Kent,
and Suffolk, and not many arrivals from the North. Scarcely any
fine Wheat is at market, and such meets a brisk demand, at last
week's terms; other sorts are very heavy in sale. Barley bas be-
come very dull in disposal, though the prices are not reported lower.
Beans and Peas are scarce, and fully maintain the terms last quoted.
The quantity of Oats at market does not exceed the present demand,
and prices are fully supported, though there is a great reluctance
I manifested by our buyers to give the present terms. In Flour no
alteration.
