YORKSHIRE.

Towards the end of August wheat fell in Wakefield market 12s. a load. It had just before been at 180s. while in London it was

only 156s. This difference (says the Editor of the Leeds Mercury) is owing partly to the harvest being earlier in the South than in the North, and partly to larger supplies than usual having been sent from the country to the London market. By way of contrast he copies the following passage from his paper of the 5th Feb. 1733: 12.000 quarters of wheat more have been exported within 8 days past, and yet wheat is but 29s. per quarter."

At Sheffield, flour was 7s. a stone towards the end of August, being nearly treble its usual price.

In consequence of the farmers being illtreated at Leeds market on the 25th August, only four sacks of grain appeared on the sucseeding market-day, which shows the folly of those, who, by their misconduct, prevented the usual quantity from being exposed to sale. A Northumberland ewe of the new Leices tershire breed, the property of Wm. Smith, of Drax Abbey, yeaned this year four lambs, which were sold at Wakefield fair for 263. sach.

CHFSHIRE.

Not less than a thousand of those misguided men, denominated Luddites, to whom illegal oaths had been administered, have lately flocked to the magistracy at and near Stockport, to abjure those oaths, and to take the oath of allegiance. This spirit is hourly extending itself.

The following is the voluntary confession of the miscreant Lomas, taken before Mr. Thomas, one of the coroners of Cheshire, the 14th day of April, two days after the atro. cious murder of his master, George Morrey, farmer of Hanklelow. That his mistress, Edith Morrey, set him on to murder his master, and he was to have all he had. She told him to go to William Shaw's, a public-house, in Hankelow, on Saturday afternoon, the 11th of April, to get some drink, and she would get things ready to kill him. His master was gone to Audlem, and she told him (John Lomas) that he must not go to bed. He came home about twelve o'clock, and, as soon as his master was gone to bed and asleep, his mistress came up to his room. He was asleep; she awoke him, and told him his master was fast asleep, and he must come and kill him. He refused; she went down stairs, and afterwards came up again, and went down again, and he (John Lomas) fulloved her. She had got the axe ready, and gave it him into his hand. He said it would be found out, and they should be sure to be hanged. She said she would see him safe, and swear he was fast asleep in bed, and would send the servant girl to call him up, He (John Lomas) said, his master would awake before he reached the bed, and she said she would go in first, and put her hand up if he was fast asleep, for him to come in, and kill him. She put her hand up two or

three

He re

three times, and then said he must come in. He (Lomas) then went in, and his mistress Edith Morrey, beld the candle, while he struck his master three times with the axe on the head. He struck him the first time over his temple. After he had struck him three times, he heard the servant wench, who slept in the next room, get upon the floor, and he said the servant woman. was coming, on which his mistress wetted her finger and thumb, and put the candle out. He (John Lomas) ran away towards the door, and his master was shouting, "Oh! Lord!" His mistress turned him back again, and said he must go again, as he had not killed him; she said he must kill him. Then he went again, and struck at him in the dark, three or four times, with the axe; he thinks he only hit him once with the head of it, and tben he ran out of the parlour. His mistress met him in the house-place, and, opening a sheath, took out a razor, which she put into his hand, saying, he must go and kill him our-he must cut his throat. fused, but she gave him a bit of a push, and said he must go. She then went first, and he followed her with the razor in his hand. She flung the out-door of the house open, and then went into the parlour, where the servant girl slept, and shut the door after her, and ke (John Lomas) went into the parlour. His master was coming off the bed backwards, and he touched him, on which his master rose up, and catched at him by the breast, and by his hand that he had the razor in. He (John Lomas) sprung out of his arms, and then laid hold of him by the head, as he was upon his knees, and cut his throat twice. He loosed him and ran, and his master fell to the floor, and he wentap stairs, and got into bed. After awhile, the servant girl, Hannah Evans, came up to him to call him up, she came and shook him, and he desired her to go down stairs again, and to leave the candle. He had the bloody shirt on, and did not put his arm out of bed; he was afraid of her seeing it. He then got up, and put his coat on over his bloody shirt; he dried his bloody bands upon his waistcoat; he also put his smock frock on, and went down stairs. When he came down stairs, the servant girl said, somebody had murdered her master, and he was desired to go in and see if he was dead. He went to the parlour door, and just peeped in, and said he thought he was."-This wretch was convicted at the late Assizes, and executed on the 24th of August. His vile mistress pleaded pregnancy, and is respited till one month after her delivery.

LINCOLNSHIRE.

An interesting scene was lately witnessed at Folkingham. A man and two apprentices, members of the sooty tribe, went to the Griffin inn, to engage about sweeping some chimneys. During the time the master was making his bargain, a poor wearied woman, who had just arrived from London, was earnestly engaged in examining the features of one of the little boys. The poor fellow did not at first glance to the object who was so attentively gazing on him; but, at length recognising her, he joyfully exclaimed,"that's my mother !" and ran and threw his arms around her neck! The surprise of the glad mother being subsided, she explained the mysterious circumstance. She said that she was a soldier's wite living in London that her husband was in Spain; that, on the 20th of January last, she went to a person's house to wash, leaving her boy under the care of a woman wh› lodged with her. In the evening, when she returned home, she found, to her inexpressible anguish, that her child was stolen, and by the very person she left for his protector. Lately, she had heard that the woman lived at Leeds, and thither
