Cailital/ila Or TWO W1111107411.--On Tuesday last an ad-
journed session of.e peace was held at the New Bailey,
for the purpose of appointing a chairman of the quarter ses-
sions, for the hen:red of Salford, in the room of the Rev.
W. R. Hay. As the magistrates who assembled for this
purpose thought proper to hold this " adjourned session of
the peace" in a private room, we are not enabled to state
accurately what pissed on the occasion; but we are in-
formed that Mr. gtarkie the barrister seas elected without
opposition, no other gentleman having been'put to nomina-
tion.—(Manekester Guardia'.)
Extract of a letter from the Purser of the Marquis of
Handy East indiaman, to a near relation in this county'
dated Anger, a small sea-port of Java, 11th August 1822 :
—After stating they bad been very fortunate in getting tbeir
cargo disposed of to good account, he says, one of their
sailors bad confessed being one of the :surd f a Mrs.
Denney, a French lady, who was murdered in London
about two years ego ; two other men and a women were
also concerned. The latter was a servant to Mrs. Donna-
ty.—(Glasgere Citron.)
A new mine of excellent black mineral substance, well
calculated foe paint, has been discovered near Bideford.
its colour (says Ofir correspondent) is deep as lamp.
wan, and gasody equal to white lead.—(PignioutkJoser.)
DRSADvus Arrata.—Mulean.—Ast event occurred on
Saturday night, about seven o'clock, is King's-row, New.
instep Road, near the Church, which created greet conster-
mutton le the artgbleoerbood. Mr-Briggs, a Gentleman
living at the above place, and highly respected, left his
horse and shales close to the foot-path ; three coal porters
plata( stfack the horse, which meted the email itioa,4o4.
en the (041-ppifi,—alkftrartrivis nearly lanai. • Mr.
immediately cause from his house and retaoastrated with the
men on the impropriety of their conduct, when one of them
said that he would serve Mr. B. in the same manner. Boise
more words ensued, and an attack was made, in which Mr.
Brigge received a severe blow, supposed to be on the jugu-
lar vein, and death ensued In the instant. Two of the of-•
fenders were instantly secured. On the cirentasMoce being
related to the wife of the deceased, whole in a state of preg-
nancy, she became frantic, and although three medical gen-
tlemen were called in, she still remains in a deplorable con-
dition.
At the late Bristol Wool Fair purchasers were very'
scarce r—low wools were quite a drug, and lambs' wool
was so beyond all precedent.
At Banbury Fair, on Thursday last, there was a good
show of Beef. which sold from bd. to 6d. per lb. The
supply of Mutton was scanty, and dull of sale. Milkers
were but little in demand; and Store Cattle sold freely
and at good prices.
At Camelford Fair, on Friday last. there was a fall
supply of catt's, bat the demand was not great, and, of
course, the sale was dull and at low prices. Store cattle'
are generally in very indifferent condition, owing to the
severity of the late winter, and the backwardness of the
Spring. There were bet few fat cattle offered for sale.
Nostrum, MARCH 22.—We had a very good supply
of Scotch cattle on Saturday, which sold freely at last
week's prices; and some good prime beef, which sold as
high as 7s. per stone. The sheep pens were more plen-
Wally tilled than of late, but the greater part of them
were hoggets, and sold very freely at a little advance in
their prices. Pigs appeared to be more numerous also,
and sold much the same. The horse market was very
thinly Attended, and but little done.
Coax EXCMANar, Meant 24.—'There were very good
arrivals of all descriptions of grain last week, and a very
large quantity of Flour. This mooning the fresh supple-
of corn is general is moderate, and the wheat trade dull.
and 2s. per quarter lower than this day seNtwight.
Floor is expected lower in price. The Barlertrade is
very dull, and last week's terms we not quite realized for
this article. Beans are now plena.), and they go off very
slowly at rather lower prices. Barley and tray Peat
have no alteration. Oats-sold better than the latter part
of last week, but there hes not been much business in
this trade to-day at the currenly of this day se'nnight.
SWITTFITLD MARItT, Mattes 24.—There was a good
supply of oxen this morning at market, and the prices
may he quoted as per last Monday. The number of
sheep was net so great as this day se'nnight, end the
prices asked are as full as high as on that day.—There
was a good number of lambs at market, for which a high
price was demanded.
WaaTliSa.—We have now arrived to nearly the end of
Lent, without enjoying the weather lavourable to sowing,
what in many parts of England is called, the Lent core. A
severe winter, with much snow, is generally followed by a
backward seed time : and "s inter" is wi,th us. "still linger-
ing," as the Poet says, "in the lap of spring." Except this
day, we have had no one fair or pleasant all the week; and
Wednesday and Thursday were remarkable, fir smart frost
in the morning, and falls of snow in other parts of the day.—
The fall on Tuursday was incessant for neatly six hours.—
The quantity of melted snow and rain fallen here this week
is 7-tenths of an inch.
