EXTRAORDINARY COMMITTAL FOR MURDER—The Liverpool Mercury states that a man named Goulding, a lodginghouse keeper at Tarporley, in Cheshire, has been committed for the murder of his wife, who was found in a yard near the house lying in a fit, with blood in large quantities flowing from her body, There was evidence that the husband was in tne house at the time with his shoes and stocl,ings off, and that he was industrious and steady, and was never seen or known to lift a hand on his wife. There were no marks of injury on the deceased, except a few slight bruises cn the back. The medical men were of opinion that death wascaused by natural hemorrhage of the womb, and the jury at the inquest found a verdict to that effect; and it was also proved that at the time Mrs. Goulding had been drunk five nights in succession, was subject to fits, and the day before her death fell down stairs and hurt herself; but notwithstanding, on the statement of two boys that ho was seen beating his wife with a stick, he was committed on Saturday last by the magistrates at Liverpool for wilful murder. The boys, it is further said, were prompted by an old woman, a neighbour, who had a grudge against Goulding. Supposing their statements to be true in every particular, the crime was only one of manslaughter ; but the evidence of the medical men, that death was occasioned by natural causes, puts even that charge out of the question. If the prisoner had been committed for manslaughter, he might have been able to obtain bail, but, as it is, the assizes for Cheshire having just concluded, the poor man will have to remain in gaol, awaiting his trial, till next spring.  HGRRINGER FAlR.—This important Suffolk fair took place on Tuesday. The number of sheep penned was smaller than in former years, but a tolerably brisk trade was done and high prices were realised. The supply of lambs was short, and middling descriptions, which a month since were worth only 26s or 27s cash, were quoted at 30s per head. A number of Hampshire and Wiltshire ewes were shown, and there were also a great many tups on the ground, including some improved Suffolks penned by Mr. G. Dobito ; the tups averaged from £7 to £lO each. Mr. Simpson sold by auction 16 shearling and two-shear longwoolled rams, bred by Mr. IL Aylmer, of West Dereham, which averaged £8 each. Messrs. Newson and Sexton also sold at an average of £5 58 each 15 shearling rams, the pro• perty of Mr. J. Clarke, of Long Sutton, Lincolnshire, Among the general sales effected during the day may be mentioned wether lambs at 28s 6d ; crone ewes at2Bs; blackfaced ewe lambs at 388; shearling ewes at 45s to 465; halfbred Down and Leicester Lambs at 30s ; seconds, 255; three and four •shear half-bred Leicester at 435; half-bred Down and Leicester Lambs at 23s to 30s; and black-faced wethers at 27s per head.
