LONDON TRADE REPORT,

Saturday evening.
TEA.—There has been great activity in our market to-day,
and much business done. Company's Congous closed on
Change ls. M. money buyers.
Woot.—Since our first notice of the sales, the attendance
of the trade has improved, and the qualities offered being
better than in the first instance, prices rallied and may be
called to those of the March auction. The highest price for
Austrilian was Is. 10d.; Cape went but indifferently, com-
pared with Australian. The sales close this evening.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—OR Tuesday week,
a lamb, in a field near the Littleborough station of the Man-
chester and Leeds Railway, was attacked by a rough-haired
dog, weighing about 201b5.; but the contest being perceived
by the old ewe of the flock, she commenced a furious battery
on the canine depredator, and inflicted such desperate
wounds on the dog by means of her horns, that he died
shortly after.

THE ROYAL WEST PENNARD CHEESE.—This gigantic
production of the numerous celebrated West Pennard dairies,
manufactured as a testimony of the loyalty of their owners to
our gracious Queen, is now exhibiting at Bath, on its way to
Mr. W. Norris's, of West Pennard, where it is to undergo
the process necessary for its ripening, and being rendered fit
for Royal mastication, which it is supposed it will be in about
two years. It will then be again forwarded to the Palace.—

THE MURDER AT MANCHESTER.—The adjourned inquest
on the body of Matthew Naylor, was held at the Lord Hill
public-house, St. Ann's-street, on Tuesday, before Mr.
Chapman, the borough coroner. Samuel Blackney, Thomas
Roche, William Walker, and William Wilshaw, the four pri-
soners in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the mur-
der, were present during the holding of the inquest. The
particulars of the case appeared in the STANDARD of Tues-
day fortnight; and after hearing the evidence, the jury re-
turned a verdict of wilful murder against Thomas Roche,
Samuel Blackney, and other persons unknown. Wilshaw
and Walker were then, of course, discharged, and Roche and
Blackney were committed, under the coroner's warrant, to
Kirkdale, to take their trial at the ensuing assizes.
It is positively asserted in the best informed West-end
circles that Mr. Gordon, one of the secretaries of the trea-
sury, has resigned his appointment. The reason assigned
for the resignation of this confidential functionary is, his ir-
reeoncileable hostility to the lately announced budget ; and
as Mr. :Gordon is an extensive West India proprietor the
probability is, that the ruinous experiment of throwing open
the staple produce of the colonies, in which his property lies,
to foreign competition, is the real motive for the step he is
asserted to have taken.
SUICIDE COMMITTED WITH A PAIR OF SCISSORS.—On
Monday, an inquest was held before W. S. Ratter, Esq., on
view of the body of Harriet Thelwell, aged 68, of Dunbar-
street, Liverpool, who had been found in her bed-room on
the previous morning with her throat cut. It appeared that
the deceased had an annuity of £6O, but had become involved,
and had laboured under monomania for some weeks past,
during which the frequently said that some one was follow-
ing her, and intended to murder her. She had effected self-
destruction by dividing the jugular vein with a pair of scissors.
The scissors, which were short in the blade, and long, and
consequently of great power in the shafts, were found upon
a chain beside the body. Verdict, " Insanity."—Manches-
ter Courier.

IRISH MANUFACTURES.—Mr. Grattan's principle is the
principle of the Irish agitator's, one and all—whether they
be professed Repealers, or merely the subrosa-ry advocates
of " Irish Manufacture." England hath better look to it in
time. Ireland is a dangerous competitor in the manufactur-
ing line, and Mr. Henry Grattan a formidable customer. We
subjoin the official communication of his goodwill and plea-
sure :—" Notice. London, 30th April, 1811.—Madair, or
Sir,—l think it necessary to give you this public notice, that
you will please not to send to my house, or to any person
employed by me in town or country, any goods or articles
whatsoever of British manufacture. In case you do so, I
shall withdraw my custom from you; and should any things
be supplied as Irish, not being such, I shall direct proceed-
ings to be taken against youfor the imposition so attempted.
—I remain, your very obedient servant, HENRY GRATTAN.
To all tradespeople dealing at my house, 84, Stephen's-green,
Dublin." If this be not the essence of political economy,
we must consult the University Professor of that occult
ie
himself a distinguished member of Father Flanagan's
science,
deeLf Trade, for the meaning of the terms.

HORRIBLE MURDER.7-A correspondent of the Limerick
Standard gives the following particulars of a murder, which,
if the details be correctly stated, is almost without a parallel
in the annals of similar cases of atrocity :—" A rumour has
been afloat in Fermoy to-day of a most heart-rending mur-
der committed in the neighbourhood of Mitchels Town. The
rumour, as I have it is, that a policeman's wife, near her
confinemeut, was travelling alone from her husband's station
where he was on duty, to her mother's house. It was stated
that on the way she got ill on the road, and requested a man
who was passing to call some female from the next house to
her assistance, offering him a shilling for doing so, in taking
which from her purse, she expdsed a pound-note to the view
of this monster, who took up a stone and dashed her brains
out. He then ran off, but was pursued by some men who
happened to see the atrocious deed. To complete the tra-
gedy, it is stated that the woman, although dead, was deli-
vered of twins, and that the husband, being apprized of what
had occurred, ran to the spot armed, and on seeing his life-
less wife and two dying infants, he instantly stabbed to the
heart the villain, who had been captured by the countrymen."
