We , the members of the Female Chartist Committee of this Borough , having for our object the attainment of the People ' s Charter , take this opportunity to call your attention to the present distressed state of the country , which is to be attributed to class legislation . The labourers who , by their mutual and dependent exertions , contribute to clothe , feed , and preserve , the whole of society , have been called ignorant and corrupt by a cl ? ss who do not labour , bnt who live by the produce of the labour of others , ard who make the laws to enable them to dispose of what does not belong to them . But , in despite ot every effort to keep the people ignorant , they are rising rapidly In the scale of intelligence and moral dignity , -whilst the privileged clasces are satiated with every perveisien of truth , and every corruption of principle ; we therefore hope that you will come forward to aid ua in the glorious
struggle for universal liberty . You have long had the power to better your condition , and we now call upon you to exercise it . We know your influence , and we congratulate you upon your present prospects . Never did the cause of freedom weai so cheering an asp ? ct as at present , we therefore hope that you will wisely conclude to throw yourselves upon your rights , to gather up your energies , and consolidate your strength , all the circu-. ustances that surround you are auspic ous the general

BIKGIaEY . —Magisterial Power . —At the Bingley Petty Sessions , held on the 27 th of July ! s .= t , a number of individuals were summoned before Wm . Ellis and Frederick Greenwood , Esqs ., for tho recovery of church-rates . The p ^ ons summoned were Wm . Stevenson , a comber , Wm . Foulds , beer-seller , and Stephen Noble , foundryman , aud a number of otherp , who did not appear . Stevenson was first called upon , to show caus 9 why ho refused to pay the rates . He not giving a satisfactory reason to the magistrates , was ordered to pay the rates he was charged with , and costs . The next that was called upon was Wm . Foulds . Hosta ' td to the magistrates that he was charred with arrears
of rate ? , and stated that he thought the law could not compel him to pay church-rates in arrear , and handed to the magistrates the . following case in support of his argument , which was allowed by the Wakefield Bench of Magistrate ? , on Monday , the 22 ad day of Jnne , 1840 , and the defendants were all dismissed : —Dent v . Prudence and Bond . 3 Strange ' s Reports , p . 152 , which was heard by the Bishops of Norwich and Carlisle , assisted by Chief Justice Raymond , Baron Carter , Sir Henry Penrice , and other Doctors , on apneal to the delegatep , on the 27 th of December , 1729 , and which decided tbat no suit can be instituted by churchwardens for a church-rate after their year of office is expired . On the Magistrates seeing the fo < e ^ ointr
Report , they were astonished , thinking thai they had convicted poor Stevenson contrary to law . Thu clerks vrere appealed to . but not one oi' them coulii produce Strange ' s Reports ; therefore , ihey decided that the matter should be left for consideration to the day following ; and Stevenson ' s case was cancelled , on conditions that he was to abide by the decision of Fould ' s case . It is now near three weeks since ; and what does other Magistrates and the public think those worshipfuls have took upon themselves to do ? They have actually cancelled the two rates charged in 1838 and 1839 , and , by so
doing , they have quashed the summons altogether , and have taken upoa themselves to issue a notice to the said parties for tho rate laid in 1840 , without even serving summonses , or anything else ! If this is not taking the law into their owa hands , and using it to suit their own purpose , ( and with a vengeance , too . ) I am no judge . Distress warrants are expected out every day , and because the poor fellows have not means to follow up their illegal proceeding ? , they are compelled to abide by the consequences . It 13 a shame and a disgrace to the West Ridirg to hare such men upon the Bench . —Correspondent .

Previous w their calling it they went round to such as they thought were favourable to their design ; but whenever they met with one whom they thought was tinged with the never-dying principles of Charti ? m , they did not dare to broach their scheme . The meeting was announced for ten o ' clock , a . m Ere the hour arrived the room was crowded to excess ,
and tho brave Chartists ware found not wanting , they were at their post of duty . The Rer . William Alexander was unanimously called upon to preside . The Rev . Gentleman , in opening the meeting , omitt ? d to state what where its objects and purpose ; and thereby threw the meeting into great confusion . A very animated discussion ensued between the gentlemen above-named , and Messrs . Collons , Grimshaw , Moulds , Vallance , Daily , Joinep , Lingard , and others of the Chartists . The result was that the meeting was dissolved , and another called for two oplock , p . m ., by the Corn Law League . At the appointed hour the people assembled on the Mayday Green . The Rey . Gentleman , who presided at tho previous meeting was again called to tha chair ; and he , without any preliminary remarks , called upon Mr . Frank Mirfield to move the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . David Felmore , and carried unanimously : — " That it is
the opinion of this meeting that the Corn Laws are cruel and oppressive ; but we are fully convinced that the great cause of our manifold grievances is class legislation ; we therefore earnestly request the congregated ministers in conference assembled , to call apon the legislature to immediately adopt the People's Charter as the legitimate right of an insulted , much oppressed , and starving people . " Messrs . Pelmore and Alexander were then appointed to wait upon the committee with the above resolution , as a portion of that party had promised to be in attendance and to receive any resolutions wo had to send by their delegates , hut lo and behold when the deputies attended , not one of the allpowerful mass of subtilty and cunning was to be found . The deputation returned to the meeting and acquainted them with the cowardly conduct of the Whi # tricksters , when the meeting dissolved highly gratified with the glorious triumph -over the obnoxious faction .

A number of Radicals of the Hunt school assembled , and sung the hymn composed for the occasion by Mr . S . Bamford , of Middleton . The " black flag " was exhibited as usual . The inscriptions it bore were in large characters written in blood ! On one side were to be seen " Murder , Aug . 16 th , 1819 , at Peterloo , by the bloody Tories ;" on the other side was written " Remember the blood that was shed at Peterloo ! " The Rads met again in the evening , and commented ia strong termB oa the proceedings of that bloody day .
HUDDERSFIELD . —Suicide . —A very meloncholy circumstance happened here on Tuesday morning . Mr . Nor thorp Bradley , landlord of the Crown Tavern , was found hang in a top bed-room over his own chamber . He had taken his breakfast as usual , but vomitted it . He waa afterwards found hung in a silk handkerchief , tied to the bedpost . Pecuniary embarrassment is stated as the cause of bo rash an act . He has left a wife and two children to mourn his loss . ROCHDALE . —Mr .-Shaman Crawford arrived in Rochdale on Sunday , and on Monday was engaged tho whole of the day in visiting the poor people-at their own houses , for the purpose of examining their condition , their wants , and theunecessities , that he may bo able to declare in Parliament what he knows of the destitute state of the manufacturing dibtricts from his own observation .
BRADFORD . —The Election . —The sudden death of Mr . Lister , the Whig M . P . for this borough , has thrown all parties into queer-street . The Whigs , by their infamous attempts , last election , to thrust two mere Whigs upon the constituency , wore the means of returning Mr . Hardy , the Tory ; for their intrigues to prevent the appearance of a Radical candidate in the field had the effect ot driving the Chartist voters away from them : and they found that without the CMartists they were not able to poll a majority of votes . Conscious of their treachery Jast time , they are now endeavouring to wheedle ti- Chartists back auain ! They have sent deputations funi tho Whig committee to wait upou the Chartists—with instructions to
procure the Chartist support i ' or Mr . Busfield , ( the last rejected Whig !) and they will "allow" them to choose one of tho cancii'Utes next time !! 1 To this liberal proposal it wva replied , that the Chartists were much obliged to them ; but they intended to choose a candidate thin time : they intended to bring forward Col . Thompson : aud they might pleaso themselves whether they supported him or not . If they did riot , —one thing they might rest satisfied of- — a Wing would not be returned ! Thus stands the matter between tho Whigs and th'i Chartists , As for the Tories , we are not able to say how they Btaud . We understand they have had <; upata ! ions
out , seeking for a cmdidate . We have not heard whether they have yet succeeded . Some talk has been had respecting Mr . J . Wood , and the name ot anothor gentleman , whose appearance in the House of Commons would bo hailed with delight by every labouring inau in the Empire , though he be '' an old ultra Tory , " has been whispered . If the party in Bradford have tho courage to fix on that man , they can carhv him ! They would be assisted by those who hate and detest Whig treachery ; and they would place a man in Parliament who would ba looked upon by the working people , throughout the kingdom , a ? their M . P . Dare they take the step 1 We shall see 1

The Rich and the Poob . —At the Croydon Aseizea , on Tuesday , a poor man , after an arduous and protracted contest , defeated a Lord ! The poor man , whose name is Punter , waa turned oat of his cottage by Lord Grantley . He considered he had as much right to the freehold as his Lordship , and , with the assistance of some neighbours , who took an interest in the eace , and the excellent advocacy of Sergeant Shea , he has triumphed . What will the renegade Tory Judge , who once tried the ease , say to this \ On that occasion he rammed up in favour of the Noble Lord , and treated the claims of the plaintiff with contempt . The jury , on Tuesday , were of a different opinion ; they were guided , too , by a Judge who has always been consistent , and
who is an honour to the Bench , and they returned a verdict in favour of the plaintiff , for the amount claimed . If the tenure by which certain Noble Lords and Ladies hold their Vast estates were to be tried by the same rule which the Chief Baron laid down for the decision of Punter ' s claim , one half of them would be dispossessed of their property . Many of them have no title-deedB to show ; they claim , like Punter , right from continued possession ; ana a discreet Judge , therefore , would not have mooted a question which involves such fearful consequences . But upstart Peers and renegade politicians are dangerous counsellors , and so the jury thought when they returned a verdict directly opposed to the decision of Lord Abinger . —Sun .

"THE QUEEN , THE CONVICTS , AND THE CHARTISTS PRISONERS . " [ With great pleasure we take from the Morning Advertiser of Wednesday the following letter may it have its intended effect D TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER . Sir , —Most heartily must all persons of true liberal feeling tbank you for having transferred to tbe columns of the Advertiser the spirited animadversions under the above beading , contained in your contemporary , the Weekly Dispatch , on the monstrous fact , that while " the convicts at Woolwich have fonnd favour in the eyes of her Majesty , " tha prison-gates ave still sternly
locked upon our political captives 1 It appears tbat ' consequent upon her visit to view the launch of the Trafalgar , " tbe Queen baa been induced "to extend her clemency in a quarter -where it must have been least expected ; " notwithstanding this , there is no sign or probability of the royal " prerogative "' of mercy being extended to those who had the greatest right to anticipate it , inasmuch as tbe sympathy of thousands , including an eqiuil division of tbe Legislature itself , ba < 1 already been so forcibly expressed in their behalf . Thus are the honest and industrious portion of the State taught how much more "favour" than themselves the dishonest and idle may receive at the hands of the " powers th \ t be !"
But , » , h ! the Chartists are a " deluded" body of men . ' What , if even this be conceded ? No one can on 89 und principles venture to affirm that this alleged " delusion" originated from anything more than a fervid attachment to liberty , an unconquerable repugnance to tyranny , and , therefore , from a paasion virtuous m itself , altaeugli in the opinion of some carried to an " undue extent . " The Cbartiat captives , I will maintain , are untainted by really evil desire , while those who havo just found favour in the eyes ef Majesty , were criminals alike in act and imaninulion .
Have the Queen ' s " constitutional advisers , " in this , their advising , displayed either motives of mercy , justice , or sound policy ? Will it remove " delusion" ( if we admit such to existi from the minds of those who form vhe very sinews of the state , when they perceive " Barabbasea" 3 et froe , in preference to those ( whatever their conduct may have been assumed ) who are to the working population as martyrs—will such an act as this kuit them in firmer allegiance to the Throne itself ? 11 cannot assuredly .
In No . 1 of the English Chartist Circular there is given " An Abstract of Returns to an onler of the House of Commons , on the motion of Mr . Hume , from the several gaols in England and Wales , " comprising every person confined for any offence of apolitical nature from January 1 , 1839 , to June 1 , 1840 , by Which it appears that the number thus imprisoned in England during . tnat period was 380 , and in Wales 63 , making a total ef 443 . I believe that the following will be found an authentic statement of the number remaining in confinement at the present time . viz .:
—Lancaster Castle , 1 ; York Castle , 1 ; Devize 3 , 1 ; Northallerton , 7 ; Beverley , 2 ; Wakefield , 6 ; Millbank Penitentiary , 8 ; Brecon , 6 ; total , 32 . Transported , 7 , viz ., Francis Roberts , John Jones , Jeremiah Howell , aad Thomas Aston , from Birmingham ; John Frost , William Jones , and Zephaniah Williams , from Monmouth . With the hope that the convicts of Woolwich will not alone " find favour in the eyes of her Majesty , " I am , Sir , Yours , obediently , John Cleave . No . 1 , Shoe-lane , Fleet-street , Aug . 17 , 1841 .
P . S . I perceive by the Advertiser of yesterday , that Wm . Potts , a Chartist prisoner in the Wilts county gaol , has been liberated . Now there is a fact connected with this case , that to my seeming is particularly unjust . It is this : —Potts , ( a chemist , ) Roberts , ( an attorney at Bath , ) and Carrier , ( a working man , ) were convicted upon the same indictment by the same Jury , and severally sentenced by the same Judge to be imprisoned for two years , viz : from March , 1840 , to March , 1842 . Now , mark the different treatment of these individuals—Mr . Roberts , a near relative ( a cousin , I believe ); of Lord Chief Justice Tindal , was restored to freedom after a brief incarceration , and Mr . Potts but just recently ; both , however , before the term of their sentence had expired . I rejoice at this , because , in my opinion , they ought never to have been imprisoned ; but I do complain moat bitterly , that while the attorney and chemist are released , the poor working man is still immured insolitaiy confinement " O shame , where is thy blush ?

The demand for low and middle-priced woollens still continues ; but the quantity bronght to the market ig notgreat , as goods are mostly made to order , oon * sequently better prices are realised in some sorts . Prices are arm in Wools ; and business in the ware houses tea little better , and will improve with the fair weather . York Conn Mabket , August 14 th . —During the week we have had a great deal of rain , which is considered to be very injurious to the growing crops particularly the wheat crops , which are likely to suffer muoh . We have a very small supply of Wheat , but a fair supply of Oats , for which there was a free sale , at an advance of Is . per quarter each . Other articles aa before .
Salfoed Cattle Mabket , Tuesday , Aug . 18 . — Tho . show of Beasts to-day was about similar to that of last week , though it could hardly be called great for the season .

We are informed that the sales of Colonial Wool now proceeding in London , are realising previous prices for Combing ; and Clothing Wool is a Jittle dearer . Yarn—The demand for Yarns is very similar to several weeks past . We regret that the unemployed combers , of whom there is a great number , have no hope of employment , and the condition of the poorer classes is very distressing . Piece—We have had a decided improvement in the weather , and we are glad to learn that the same will apply to our market . The merchants appear in better spirits , and more business has been done . Saxony Cloths , Orleans , and Figures are most in demand ; not plentiful—and late prices maintained .
Manchester Cobn Market , Saturday , Aug . 14 . —During tho week we have experienced a steady demand for English Flour , and the supplies have been eagerly taken by consumers on arrival at advancing prices . The market has become bare of Oats and Oatmeal , and both these articles have commanded higher rates . 10 , 174 loads of Oatmeal and 5 , 758 quarters of Oats constitute the . chief articles of import from Ireland or coastwise , and those foreign ai'o but to a moderate extent . From Canada 32 , 169 barrels of Flour and 5 , 882 quarters of Wheat ara reported . The duty on Wiieat has declined to 205 . 8 d . per quarter , aud as 67 s . may be calculated

There was not much passing in Wheat at oar market this morning , and we repeat our quotations of this day se ' nui « ht .

Beef of the first quality realized fully 6 hi . varying from that down to 5 Jd . per lb .

Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Aug . 16 . — The arrivals of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland since this day so ' nnight amount to 4834 qrs . and 6971 loads respectively ; but with these exceptions the imports of British Grain , &e . are light . From Canada we have reoeived 5792 quartets of Wheat , 35 , 193 barrels of Flour , 925 quarters of Peas ; and from foreign states , 4433 quarters of Wheat , and 840 quarters of Beans . Though we havo had a fine day or two , the weather has still been unsettled ; in the earjy part of the week wot , cold , aud boisterous : aud large transactions have continued to take place in bonded Wheat and Flour at daily advancing prices ; 8 s . 3 d . to 10 s . per 70 lbs . is now the range for the several qualities of Wheat ; 353 . to 35 s . 6 d . per barrel for United States Flour , being 9 d . to Is . per bushel , and 2 s . per barrel above the quotations
of this day se ' nnight . Free Wheat must also be noted 4 d . to 6 d . per bushel , Flour Is . to 2 s . per sack and barrel dearer ; of these , however , the millers and dealers havo bought cautiously , under the anticipation of the release of Canadian next week , at the lowest poiut of duty . Most other articles of the trade have becoma enhanced in value . Irish mealing Oats have brought 3 s . 7 d . to 33 . 9 d . per 45 Ib 3 ., and Oatmeal has found speculative buyers at 30 s . to 32 s . per 240 lbs .

London Smithfield Market , Monday , August 16 . —The supply of Beasts on 3 ale in to-day ' s market being , comparatively speaking , moderate , and Site attendance of both metropolitan and provincial dealers numerous , the beef trade was decidedly renovated , but no improvement was noticed in the quotations . The b =: st Scots , about 200 of which came fresh to hand from Scotland , produced 4 s . 8 d . per 81 b , and a good olearance was readily effected . The best old Downs wore scarce , and commanded quite as much money , while the valu 6 of other sheep was well supported . The Lamb trade waa heavy , at drooping currencies . In Calves little was doing , at an abatement of 2 d . per 81 b . Pigs moved off slowly , at previous rates .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Aug . 16 . — There was a very moderate supply of Wheat from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , for this day ' s market , with a very limited quantity of Barloy , Beans , and Peas from all these counties . The fresh arrivals of Oats consisted of a few cargoes from our own coast and Scotland , and four or five from Ireland . The imports .. of foreign grain have been to a moderate extent since this day se ' nnight , the prevalence of westerly and south westerly winds keeping the vessels out from the north of Europe . There have been some very heavy rains during the past week , mostly in the nights ; yesterday and this morning the weather has been fair , although not of a settled appearance . There was a good steady demand for English Wheat at about the rates of Friday , being Is . to 2 s . per qr . above thoso of this day se ' nnight .
but , owing to the more favourable state of the weather , not many transactions occurred in bonded , although such was fully as dear as last market day , or about 4 s . per qr . higher than on Friday . Amongst the supply this morning appeared several samp les of New Wheat from Essex , quality in general coarse aud averaging several pounds per bushel lighter than last year ' s produce , and the condition in some instances also bad . The leading town Millers put up the price of town-made Flour to 70 s . per sack ; ship samples were Is . to 2 s . per sack higher in consequence . Grinding Barley was fully as dear , and in fair request . Malt was held for more money , but Is . advance was paid reluctantly . Baans were Is . to 2 s . par qr . dearer , from their scarcity . Feas brought nearly last week ' s currency , but were taken slowly . There was a moderately fair sale for Oats , all sorts bringing full as much money .
