A memorial was adopted .

      KEIGHXiET * Eastkb Dces . Messrs . Weatherhouse and Rhodes , the two obnoxious Chartists who neglected to pay Mr . Busfield , the lecior , hi 3 Easter Dues , hare again been summoned by the benevolent man , to show cause why they refuse to comply with his demands . The reverend gentleman ' s claim upon the individuals for allowing ibsm tie liberty of Wearing their own heads , and tr ansacting business for them with St . Peter , appears to staffer them , although they declare they would pay , if he would only accommodate them pith a list of the items in a tradesman-like manner . As the summonses contained no information of that kind , they wisel y posted them in the public streets , to let the other inhabitants know the unreasonable nature of the gentleman ' s bills , and what they might exr ect in case he compelled them to pay .

      Odd Fellows . —The anniversary of the above ' society took place on Monday last , when the mem- , bers and friends sat down to an excellent dinner . ; CUIAIHGWOBTH ( seas Bisglet . ) A i Qviios to Good Natitred Brer-sellers . —A per- i son in the village of Cullingworth has just commenced the business of betraying beer-sellers and others into a breach of the law , and then fining them for doing so . He went ever to Wilsden one nigbt last week , and called at a beer-shop kept by one Smith . It was after the time at which beer is allowed to be : sold , but as he represented himself a 3 a poor widower from CuUingwortb , and said that he had been

      slacking lime all day , and was very thirsty and hungry , and begged them to let him have something to eat and drink , they took pity on him , and let him have what he wanted , and charged for it . He then went &way , and these kind people were brought up before tie magisirates on Tuesday , and fined for selling ale at aa improper hour to this fellow . He had been at a poor cottage house somewhere in the neighbour- ; hood also , and by pitiful tales had induced the people of it to let him have a pot of beer , for which i he paid them and then Sned them for selling without ; a license . This will be enough to cause our unsus- I pecting neighbours to be aware of him in future ; he generally goes by the name of Little Mick at

      Messrs . Grissell and Peto , and endeavourad to prevail on them to forget the past , and expressed a hope that in futsre there would be no cause f > r complaint . All his persuasion and entreaties were , however , ineffectual . Captain Rom subsequently waited upon the Earl of Lincoln , the First Commissioner of the Woods and Forests , and endeavoured to prevail upon the noble lord to use his influence between the parties , expressing his regret that his own exertions had been unsuccessful . The Armstrong Ltveb Pills are recommended as an Anti-bilious medicine , to every sufferer from

      bilious complaints and indigestioa , or from an inactive liver , and are procurable at all Druggists , and at the Northern Star office . It is only necessary to see that the stamp has "Dr . John Armstrong ' s Liver Pills'Hngraved on it in white letters , and to let no one put you off with any other pills . KB . —The Pills in the boxes enclosed , in marbled paper , and marked B ., are a very mild aperient , and are particularly and universally praised . They are admirably adapted for sportsmen , agriculturists , men of business , naval and military men ; as they contain no mercury or calomel , and require neither confinement to the house , nor restraint in diet .

      XtdCESTSR . —We hive had another battle with the Corn Law Rspealera ; but that , and all other matters sink into trifles amidst the one absorbing feeling of solid delight at our prosperity . This week we have already enrolled thirty new members last week the entire increase was forty-four , the week before forty-two , and the week preceding that sixty-two . Mr . Cooper preached twice in the Market-place to large audiences on Sunday , and lectured on Phrenology , to a crowded assembly , in the Guildhall , on Monday . We are too throng to make a longer song : we are singing but one just now , and it is all to the tune of Chartist Prosperity .

      BARNSiEY . —A committee has been formed and subscriptions opened for the purpose of supporting our patriot townsman , Wm . Ashto » , on wholesome food during the remaining period of bis confinement in " her Majesty's Royal College , at Wakefield , " and to thereby prevent the powers that be , from Claytonising him . Notwithstanding the dreadfully depressed state of the town , the people have come forward nobiy upon the present occasion to support their Whig-dungeoned townsman , which clearly proves that the spirit of democracy still pervades their breasts and prompts them to do their duty . Two ixmnds have beeu sent him to provide himself with foo ' , and by this time he will have been a week off me infernal skilly tub .

      TO THE EDITOR OF IHE NOSTELEE-N STAH . Deas Sir , —By inserting the following in your valuable paper , you will oblige , Yours , very truly , Geobge Julian H . * k >' kt

      . 10 MR . MARK CRA . BTREE . Sib ., —I yesterday received a letter from T > ewsbury of which ihe following is a copy : — " Dewsbury , Sept . 23 , 1841 . " Mb . Habsey , Sir , —I am instructed by your friends in Dew&bury to lay the following statements before you : —After the district meeting on Sunday last was over , a few delegates repaired as usual to Mr . Charles Armshaw ' s , to hare a little conversation , when Mark Crabtree , accompanied by a brother of his , came into the room , when , after a little chat on different sabj V cts . he Olkrk Crabtree ) asked , if we , the Chartists of Drsvsbury , would take pan along with Lord Ashley in an agitation for a Ten

      Hoars Bill ? Our answer was , that we would join in no agitation short of a whole measure of justice to the working classes , which was—the People ' s Charier . He ( Mark Crabtree ) then went on to say , that the- Chartists , or leading Chartists of Dewsbury , was a set of poor , mean , shabby humbugs ; and this , said he , is the opinion of William Martin , of Braxiford and poor George Julian Harney . You behaved in a most shabby manner to poor Harney said he ; you paid him as your lecturer , a paltry thirty shillings per week , ichile I paid him

      Jive-andforty shillings per iceek during the late West Riding election . With this expression , he struck the table , had it not been British oak , a blow sufficient to shiver it . After this , Thomas Wass challenged him to prove his assertion on the Market Cross next morning at ten o'clock , and he ( Thomas Wass ) would at the same time engage to prove to a majority of the inhabitants that Mark Crabtree was a lying , two-faced political villain . Thomas Wasa attended time and place , but the rascal had cut hi stick and left the town .

      " In conclusion , it is the desire of your friends in and about Dew > bury that you should challenge him in . the Northern Star to prove what he said , which , if he refuses , the Chartists of Dewsbury will then caution the Chartist body against this Torypaid scoundrel , as they consider Mark Crabtree as pernicious a character as Harrison , the notorious spy . rf The persons ready to come forward to prove what is here contained arc John Haigh , of Osseu ; Joseph Atkinson , of Heckmondwike ; Thomas Wass , of Dawgreen ; and BeDJamin Simpson .

      "The affair has been laid before a meeting of Chartists in Dewsbjry ; the opinion of which you will understand by the enclosed resolution . "Signed on behalf of the Chartists of Dewsbury , " Wm . Moselev , Stott , Secretary . " " P . S . Enclosed you will find the resolution passed at our meeting . " The above letter is dated September 23 rd , but bears the Dewsbnry post-mark of September 27 th . Perhaps Mr . Stott can explain this . The following is a copy of the " resolution" alluded to in the postscript of ihe above : —

      Moved by Adam Brander , seconded by James Xewsome— " That we , the Chartists of Dewsbury , have ^ very co nfidence in George Julian Harney , one of our late candidates for the West-Riding of the County of York , and we consider the assertion made by Mark Crabtree , of Dawgreen , which was to the effect that Mr . Harney , like himself , was in the pay of the Tories during the last election , to be a direct attack upon the character of Mr . Harney , who we consider to be one of th « most upright , bold , and unflinching patriots that in our day has come forward io advocate and demaad tbe rights of the working classes . " Wm . Mcsei-et Stott , Chairman .

      On this resolution I have only to remark that I return ny thanks to the men of Dewsbury fer the good opinion they have of me been pleased therein to express . I assure them they will find their confidence in Julian Harney has not beeu misplaced . Mr . Crabtree , 1 have copied the above letter verbatim as I received it . My answer shall be summary and to the point . Your statement ( if that statement you made ) that you paid me five and forty shillings per iceek during the late West Riding Election ^ is a wicked and calumnious lie ; and I challenge and defy you to prove it . George Jitiun Har . vey . . Shefield , September 29 , 1041 .

      BRADFORD . —Ms . Oastlks and T . Thornhiu , Esq . —At » meeting of the friends of Mr . Oastler , held at the New Inn , in Bradford , September 17 th , to consider the propriety of addressing TbomaB Thorahill , Esq ., on the subject of Mr . Oastler ' s liberation , a deputation , consisting of Messrs . Auty , Buhner , and Clarkaon , was appointed to wait upon Mr . Taornbill , at Fixby Hall , which mansion he was expected to visit the early part of next week . The deputation having received information , on Monday , that Mr . Thornhill was at Fixby , took an early conveyance , and arrived at Fixby Hall at three o ' clock , previously to which two deputations had already had interviews with Mr . Thornhill , viz ., from Huddersfield and Dewsbnry , on the same

      snbjeot . The Bradford deputation , however , soon found themselves in the presence of Thomaa Thornhill , Esau when the object of their mission waa briefly stated , namel y , that they had been deputed by a meeting of the friends of Mr . Oastler in the town and neighbourhood of Bradford , to wait upon him , for the purpose of inducing him to liberate Mr . Oastler from the Fleet ; believing , as they did , that bis services in Yorkshire at the the present time would be of essential service to his country ; and thus they feared that , if Mr . Oastler was confined much longer , his health would be materially injured and his life shortened ; and * that they trusted that he had no desire to shorten the days or injure the health of his old steward . Mr . Thornhill ,

      m reply , stated that , he had no ill will towards Mr . Oastler whatever ; that he had no wish to shorten bis days or injure his life ; that he had no doubt but that Mr . Oastler might be of service to his country were he at large ; that he { should be glad to see him liberated ; but . he felt that he would not be doing his duty to himself and to his family , were he to consent to his liberation , without security for the debt . The deputation discussed the subject with Mr . Thornhill for upwards of an hoot and a half , urging Mr . Oastler ' s claims npon him , believing , as they did , that he was suffering for his country ' s welfare , all of which Mr . Thornhill listened to with the greatest courtesy , and stated that an influential gentleman in London had called

      upon him a Bhort time since on the same snbjeot , and to whom he had returned the same answer . Mr . Thornhill also kindly showed the deputation a letter he had lately received from one of his own counsel in the late action , Thornhill v . Oastler , interceding in Mr . Oastler's behalf , but to which he had not yet been able to reply * . The deputation expressed their gratitade for the interest which that learned gentleman had exhibited on Mr . Oastler ' s behalf . The deputation retired , regretting that Mr . Thornhill could not consent to liberate Mr . Oastler , but was glad to hear him express himself ready to enter into an amicable arrangement for that purpose , and they would hope that the day is not tar distant when Mr . Oastler will be again restored to his family and friends .

      Mr . Martin . —Ever since the last general election , Mr . Wm . Martin , who was elected one of the members for this borough by a large majority on the shew of hands , has been subjected to frequent insults by many unprincipled and envious Whi # 3 . During the recent election , these insults have been turned into threats , and from threats to actual assault . This ia too much to bear by one who is himself under heavy bond to keep the peace , and Mr . Martin determined to seek that protection to which every Englishman is entitled , he last week obtained a peace warrant against a person of the name of Moorhouse ,

      a Whig constable of the township of Horton , who , in a state of intoxication , threatened to do him some grievouB bodily harm and who it is feared but for the prompt and very proper interference of Mr . Ibbetaon ( who also happened to be a special constable ) would have inflicted immediate punishment . Moorhouse has since confessed his error , and on payment of the legal expences , Mr . Martin , with leave of the Magistrates , has withdrawn the prosecution , his object bviag accomplished in bringing the offending party to a sense and of his misconduct .

      £ 0 8 6 The Parliament . —The House of Lords has not met since Monday . On Tuesday and Wednesday the Commons were occupied with business of very little importance , principally in preparation for the prorogation till the end of the year . Horrible Murder in Eastcheaf . —On Tuesday night , at about ten minutes past ten o ' clock , a most horrible murder was committed at the King ' s Head public-house , Eastcheap , ou the person of Mr . Bourden , the landlord of the above house , as well as an attempt at the lives of two other persons , the sister of Mr . Bourden and hi 3 wife . The particulars of the horrid case , as far as we could learn , are as follows : At about three o ' clock on Tuesday morning a person

      of the name of Blakesley accosted Sergeant Bradley , 503 of the City police , and inquired of him how he could obtain possession of his wife , whom ho stated was staying at the above house ; but after being advised to call in tho afternoon , he went away . At about ten o ' clock on Tuesday night he ( Blakesley ) went to the King ' s Head , with every appearance of extreme agitation depicted on his countenance , and proceeded behind the bar , where the deceased was sitting on a chair dosing , and his ( Blakesley's ) wife attending to the customers ; the villain , without saying one word , drew from his pocket a batcher ' s knife , such as are used for killing sheep , and made a desperate thrust at his wife , wounding her in a dreadful manner . Her screams awoke Mr . Bourden , who , while in the act of rising from his seat , was stabbed in the stomach by Blakesley , the knife penetrationg to the handle , and he fell at the bardoor in the passage , bleeding in a dreadful

      manner . After making an attempt to strike Mrs . Bourden , the murderer stepped over the body of his victim , who was writhing in the agonies of death , and made his escape . Mr . Smith , of Graccchurchstreet , was instantly sent for , who lost no time in attending , but ere he arrived poor Bourdon had expired . His attention was then directed to the unfortunate woman , who had gone up stairs , leaving traces of her blood from the bar to her bed-room , and whom he found in a very dangerous state , having been Beverely wounded , bub we could not ascertain whether mortally or not . At the time the murder was committed , there were several persons passing by , and taking the alarm , ran after tho murderer , calling out " Stop him ! " The direction he took was towards the Tower , down Thames-street , and was soon lost to his pursuers . Latest Particulars— 'ihe following additional particulars relative to the above awful murder have been

      obtained . Between nine and ten o clock on Tuesday night , as Mrs . Bourden , and her unfortunate sisterin-law were in the bar , they observed the door to open repeatedly , and some one to look in , but they thought nothing of the matter , neither did they recognise the featuresof the individual so obtruding . There is no doubt he was watching an opportunity when tho bar was clear of customers ( which , alas , so soon presented itself ) to carry his horrid design into effect . The name of the wretched man is Blexley and not Blakesley . His father is a highly respectable man , living in the City-road , and has offices in Basipghali-street ; and owing to the profligate life which his son had lived he determined ,

      about twelve months since to discard him , since whioh time he became acquainted with the sister of tbe deceased , who was formerly bar-maid to her brother , and has been married to the murderer about three months . For a short time they lived at Seven Oaks , where the husband carried on the business of a carcass-butcher , but being unsuccessful , be returned to London , and made an appeal ( through his wife ) to his father for assistance , but was refused , when his wife returned to her brother ' s at the King's Head , which circumstance seemed to prey upon his mind . The knife was actually ground at the back , and was as keen at both edges a 3 a razor . A number of the city police , under the directions of Mr . Inspector Brake , have been dispersed in searoh of the murderer .

      ActAND , the " Plague" Agitator , in Trouble . —This notorious tramp , after his recent exhibition at Tamworth , proceeded to Lancaster to oppose the re-election of Lord Stanley for the Northern Division of that Couuty . He was proposed and seconded , and bad thiee hands held up in his favour ; after which he departed , and , shortly after he left the court , he was taken into custody , by the superintendant of the police , by authority of a bench warrant granted at the last assizes , a true bill having been found against him tor inciting the people to riot at the late general election , and for a libel on Mr . W . Robinson , the mayor of Lancaster .

      Leeds Cloth Market . —There still continues to be a fair share of business doing in the warehouses , but at the Cloth Halls , the demand for goods is very trifling . It would seem as if the merchants had almost ceased their purchases at the Halls ; indeed , goods are now more than ever carried direct from the manufacturers to the warehouses . Richmond , Cohn Mabket , Sept . 25 . —We had not so plentiful a supply of Grain in our market today as last week , which caused an advance of 9 d . per bushel on some samples of new Wheat . Wheat sold from 7 a . 6 d . to 10 s . ; New do ., 6 s . to 8 s . : Oats , 2 s . 6 d . to 3 s . 8 d . ; Barley , 5 s . to 5 s . 3 d . ; Beans , 5 s . 6 d . to 6 s . per bushel .

      Liverpool Cattle Mabket , Sept . 27 . —The supply of Beasts at the market to-day has been larger than last week , but the price about the same . There was a smaller quantity of sheep , particularly the best quality of wether Mutton , in consequence of which there was an advance in price .

      Manchester Corn Mabket , Saturday , Sept . 25 . —At to-day ' s market we have a moderate comsumptive demand fox each article at about the prices of this day week , and the appearance of the trade is firm and healthy .. Good dry new English Wheat , 9 s . 9 d . to 10 s . j . Oats 33 . to 3 s . 5 d . Meal 29 a . to 30 s ., but the quantity of new produce offering is as yet small . The weather during the last two or three days has been showery , and we conceive that a considerable quantity of Grain is still unsecured in the later districts of the United Kingdom .

      Liverpool Coajf Market , Monday , Sep * . 27 . — Our imports of British Grain , Flour , and Oatmeal , since this day se ' nnight , have been light , from foreign states there are reported 7 , 823 qrs . of Wheat , and from Canada 4 , 699 barrels and 400 sacks of Flour , both admissible for home consumption at the lowest rates of duty : the import on the former has now advanced to 2 s . 8 d . per quarter . At our market on Tuesday there was a good demand for Wheat for consumption , and the decline noted in prices at the close of last week was recovered , the general runs of Lowor Baltic red Wheat selling at 9 s . 6 L to 9 b . 8 d . up to 9 s . lOd . to 9 s . lid . for fine Bostock ; American at 9 s . 6 d . to 93 . 9 d . ; Odessa at 8 i . lOd . to 9 s . ; good fine mixed Danzig at 9 s . lOd . to 10 s . 3 d . per 70 lbs . There has since been less animation in the trade , and any change in prices has been in favour of tho buyer , without any disposition being shown on the

      part of holders , however , to press sales . A few small parcels of Irish new Wheat have appeared the damp inferior lots have been sold at 8 s . 6 d . to 8 s . 81 , whilst some fine kiln-dried has brought 9 b . 3 d . per 701 bs . Old Oats have met a little more inquiry , and being in small supply , have brought rather more money ; good mealing 3 s . Id . to 3 s . 2 d .: 3 j . 3 d . per 451 bs . obtained for some very choice . No new at market this week . New Oatmeal has gone off somewhat more freely at . 28 s . to 28 s 6 d ., but old has continued dull of sale at 253 . to 253 . 6 d . per 2401 bs . For Barley , Beans , or Peas , there has been little more than a retail demand . Egyptian Beans have been sold free at 32 s . to 33 s . per 380 Lb ., and Foreign Peas at 39 s . to 41 s . per quarter . At Manchester , on Saturday , a good business was done in United States sweet Flour , from this side , at 35 s . ( sd . to 3 $ s . per barrel .

      London Smithfield Market , Monday , Sept . 27 . —On account of there being a comparative falling off in the supply of Beasts offering in our markets to-day , and the large attendance of both London and country dealers , - the Beef trade was steady , at a rise of about 2 i . per 8 ibs ., and a clearance was speedily effected .. From Scotland 150 Beasts and 280 Sheep were received in good condition . There was a fair average number of Sheep on the market , which moved off briskly on quite as good terms as those noted on this day se ' nnight . About 300 Lambs were brought forward , which commanded scarcely any attention . Calves were in short supply , and brisk demand , at higher rates of currency . The sale for Piga was animated , on full terms . As to the general quality of the stock , it was decidedl y improved , and very few of either the Beasts or feheep were suffering from the epidemic .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday . —There wa a limited supply of Wheat tins morning from Essex * Kent , and Suffolk , and only a moderate quantity of Barley , Beans , and Pea 3 from all these counties , with a fair arrival of Oats , whilst the import of foreign Wheat was again very large , and tolerably good of Barley and Oats . Since last Wednesday much rain has fallen , and by this morning ' s letters this appears to have been pretty general throughout the United Kingdom . The driest samples of English Wheat commanded last week's prices , but from the damp state of the weather , a great proportion of this day ' s supply was in miserable condition , and such met a very dull sale on rather lower terms :

      from the small supply at market it appears that many farmers have wholly ceased to thrash , being dissatisfied with the prices of the new crop . There was a rather extensive sale for foreign Wheat , and fully as much money was made for all sorts , but particularly for choice Dantzic ; in some instances for such and for heavy red qualities rather higher prices were obtained . Town-made Flour was unaltered . Barley met a steady gale at full as much money . Bean ' s and Peas brought last week ' s prices . From the coarse quality of the new Barley , choice season-made Malt commands high prices , selected Chevalier being worth 68 s . per quarter . There was no variation in the price of Oats , good Cora meeting a moderate Bale , at late rates .

      Newcastle Corn Market , Sept . 25 . —The weather has been more unfavourable this week for harvest operations , but the bulk of the crops in tho neighbouring counties is now secured . We had a large show of Wheat at market to-day from the country , the quality and condition of which was superior to lasc week , and was readily takeu off by our millers at the same rates . There was more enquiry for foreign Wheat , and some extent of business done on the terms of this day week . The quantity of foreign Wheat entered for consumption here this week exceeds 90 , 080 qr 3 . Rye is without alteration . Barley continues in good demand . In Beans and Peas no change . Wo had a fair supply of Oats thi 9 morning , almost « ntireiy of the new growth , for which there was a fair demand , and we can note no alteration in the price of either new or old . Flour is Is . per sack lower , and a dull sale . Our millers have made a farther reduction to-day bciug now at 46 s . per sack delivered .

      Thiksk Corn Market , Sept . 27 . —There was a great show of Grain , which fell in price , in some kinds materially , as Wheat and Oate . Wheat , 8 a . to 9 s . ; Beans , 4 s . to 5 s . per bushel .
