In the value of Oats or Beans no alteration can be noted . State of Trade—There was not so much animation in the market on Tuesday , as on the two tteam weeks . The immediate wants which brought bayera to market at those times , having been now geneW supplied , few parties seem disposed to buy at wJ present rates , and the demand both for go « J and yarn ia very limited ; and , in some cases , rather lower prices have been accepted . This is p « Bcularly the case with respect to 40-inch shirt » pi suitable for the India market—the overland niw having brought unfavourable accounts of the w * of that description of cloth .

BURY . The tura-outs are relieved with five pounds of potatoes each daily . There is an expectation of an agreement being come to thi 3 week betwixt the working people and the employers .
BRADFORD . Sines the turn-out all has been very , quiet , and everything k going on as usual . " A very brisk trade is now driving on , particularly in figured goods ; but notwithstanding the brisk demand , there is no ad-Tance of wages , thongh all acknowledge they may afford to give a very liberal advance . Mr . Bainea , of M&nningham , worsted spinner , has been very active in trying to gefr the men an advance of wages , and has set an example to the rest of the Masters by advancing the wages of hia woolcombers one penny per pound on some sorts , and one halfpenny on others . Some few masters have followed the example ; thus rood has come out of eviL ~
MANCHESTER . Monday . The weavers are still out ; it was expected that many of them "would resume work this moraiug ; but the masters opened their milU in vain . The bells rang , but no one answered . The females formed in procession , from four to five hundred in Bnmber , and paraded Great Ancoats-Btreet , Stone-Etreet , and that neighbourhood . They were met in
Stone-street by a body of the police force ; but they did not interfere with them , but let them proceed quietly on their route . They held a meeting in the Large Room , in Brown-Btreet , at eight o ' clock , which was numerously attended—hundreds having to go away that could not get admitta&oe . The prevailing opinion amongst them was , that they had Btood a month without support , and therefore , if they got a small amount of assistance they c # uld stand for & longer period .
Tuesday . The hands of one or two mills which had gone in at the advance , again turned out this morningthe employers having broken faith with them . Placards hive been issued , advertising for weavers A small number obtained employment in one of the xaUls ia question , bat the feeling was so strong against them , that it was thought necessary to guard th « m by a strong escort of police , both while walking to and from meals . Aa the knobftieks working in the Mill-street mill left work thu evening , they were met by a large
number of the turn-euts , who commenoed hooting them , when a general fight took place , the knobs getting the worst of the little . One man , who had two daughters working in the mill , came armed with a Urge cudgel to protect them , which he used to the utmost of his ability , bat was taken for his kindness by the polio * to the station , and looked up for the night . We understand that they have all stopped from work thk day ( Wednesday > , -with the exception ¦ of two ; the nill is , however , going . During the night the windows of a house in Spencer-street were broken in pieces , by some parties unknown * It ia

supposed that it is the work of the turn-outs , as one of the knobsticks called there on her way home , and it is thought that gome one had watched her , and thought that that was her residence , whioh is not the case . Wednesday . This morning the knob sticks who were at work at Water house's mill , have all come out , and deolared that they will not commence again until they get tho advance agreed upon by the delegates . At shortly after eight o ' clock this morning , a large number of the turn-outs went to Stone-street
mill , whtre there are some knobs at work ; there were a few of the police on duty , bat they considered it to bo the wisest plan to save their bacon by a retreat , and therefore left the turn-outs in possession of the field ; but there was no damage done to the L :-il . They contented themselves by hooting and ahouting" knobsticks . " In a short time the police returned with a reinforcement , amounting to from 2 U 0 to 300 , headed by Sawley and Beswick . The people , when they saw them coming , dispersed in a orderly manner , eo that when they arrived at the mill there was nothing for them to do .
There has been a strong body of police and Epecials guarding the mill ever since . It' we are to judge from appearances , the weavers are more determined than they were the first day df the strike . They have adopted the plan of testing the rey . gentlemen of the town , who have professed sympathy tor the poor , by requesting them to preach sermonB , and make collections in their behalf . They do not expect that they will grant their request ; but this is a test for the gents , of the cloth . The power-loom weavers belonging to the Stonestreet Mill , got the advance at noon to-day , and commenced working , and it is confidently expected that many of the masters will give the advance this week . It i 3 rumoured that the Chief Magistrate has sent word to the manufacturers , either to give the advance , or shut up their mills altogether ; for as long as th = y allow things to continue in the present staie , the town is in danger .

ASHTON-ILNDER-LYNE . BRUTAL AND COWARDLY ATTACK ON THE PEOPLE BY AN INFURIATED i DRUNKEN SOLDIERY . This town has been the scene of the most brutal and dastardly assaults on an unoffending and defenceless people that is on record since the never-tobe forgotten Pcterloo , by a soldiery , that it is evident were made drunk for the purpose . The particulars are as follows : — News was brought into town , on Thursday last , that it was ihe intention of the Poynton colliers to come aud hold a meeting ia this town on that day ; no sooner did the authorities get to know this , thau it threw them into the greatest alarm , thinking , no doubt , that they were coming to chastise them for
their tyrannical conduct to the people oa former occasions . But , poor things , they ueed not have alarmed themsehes , for they had no such intention . They only meant to meet their fellow-worknien of this town , and to discuss their grievances . After doing which , if they had been allowed , they would have gone pcaceabiy home . But no ; our wiseacre magistrates were determined that they shonld not come iuto the town ; and therefore determined to go and meet them , and drive them back at ihe point of tho sabre , and for this purpose two troops of the first dragoon guards , which are laying here were immediately sent on the road to meet them , Mr . James Lord , magistrate
accompanying them . The foot soldiers , also amountiDg to three or four companies , with about five or six hundred special constables , were sent on another road ; and now they thought they were a match for this lormidable body of working men , amounting to nearly two hundred men , and about a score of them armed with walking sticks ! But , alas ! they were disappointed , for the colliers came another road , by the canal side ; and therefore these sage gentlemen were obliged to come back as they went ; without without shedding one drop of blood , and with a good drenching in the rain ; while the colliers , of whom they bad been in seaTch , were comfortably seated in the Chartist Room , which had been kindly granted them . at foiled
The authorities were so exasperated being that they determined to be revenged , and resolved to make an attack on the Chartist room ; and for this purpose they assembled all their forces , viz , the dragoons , infantry , and four or five hundred special constables , each party taking different roads , and as is generally the case , each party followed by a large crowd of women and children . No sooner did they get in front of the building , which is an old factory , than the specials , headed by Mr . Owen , late deputy constable , entered it , and at this momeut Mr . Lord commenced reading the riot act , akhough there was not the least signs of any breach of the peace , aud before be bad hardly done , the dragoons , without the least notice commenced sabreing and riding over the people who had followed them , and the majority of whom were women aud children .
And now a scene took place that bafBes description . The people were cut and rode over in the most waEton maurer , and many have received most serious injuries wich they never will get over ; indeed so blood-thirsty were the rascals that they cut at people who were standing at their own doors . One woman , who had just come from Manchester had got inside her door , whtn a cowardly monster made a blow at ber ; his sword stuck in the door , or she must have been killed . One of the Dragoons saw a man go into a house for refuge : he rode np to it and threatened to fire into the house if they did not turn him out . I could enumerate numbers of instances of the brutality of these butchers , but it would be taking up too much of your space ; suffice it to say , that a more cold-blooded , cowardly , and murderous transaction is not on record .
But now for the specials ! As soon as they got in the room , they found about eighty of the colliers ( the rest having gone to another part of the town ) resting themselves , and getting something to eat , which they had brought with them . They were instantly surrounded and made prisoners without the least resistance" They were examined , and nothing could be brought against , them : but still they must be punished ; and , therefore , were ' remanded until Friday , when they were all discharged but fifteen ; and they were put back until Monday , in order that they might get up some charge against them , whieh I believe they failed in . It appears that tho authorities are enraged at the people being determined to keep the peace , for they have had recourse to all plans to aggravate them to revenge .
So disgusted were two of the specials at the above conduct , that they threw down the-ir truncheons and swore they would not be a party to such cowardly conduct . All is still at a stand here : not one mill going , or any likelihood of starting . The people 6 ay they wiil die in tha streets sooner than starve in the factor ies . Where it will end God only knows . The Chartists are still being apprehended ; and it is only necessary to ba a Chartist , and you are apprehended and committed to take your trial for beina one .
One of the men that were wounded at Shepley ' s mill the other day was taken out of the Infirmary at Manchester last Sunday night , and conveyed to the New Bailey . This is justice ! I wonder if Mr . Shepley is in the Bailey : he is the only party that ought to be there . If a- working maa had done what he did he would be tried for murder . —Correspondent .

Frazer , can cotfidently recommend him to our Chartist friends in other parts ef the country as every way qualified to promulgate the glorious principles of Chartism .

BURTOlT-ON-TaENT .-We wish to call the attention of our Chartist brethren to the call now made upon as , to defend those that hare so long and nobly advocated the rights of all men .

ZiEEDS . — It is our painful duty to record the death of Mr . Wainhouse , of Belle Vue , which took place on Saturday last , under most distressing circumstances . The deceased gontleman had engaged in speculations , by which he lost considerable property ; and this so preyed on his mind that his reason wa 3 affected , and he swallowed a dose of prussio acid . An inquest has been held on the body , and the Jury , after a careful review of all the circumstances , without hesitation returned a verdict" That deceased destroyed himself whilst labouring under temporary derangement .

BLACKBURN . —[ The following was received too late for insertion in our laat number . ]—Mb . Editor , — Yon must excuse me writing so late , but the case in question has only been decided late this afternoon . The following are the principal particulars of the arrest of a printer , and two others , ¦ mho were waiting for some resolutions being printed that had been passed at a public meeting . The following is a copy of the placards that were struck off , when a strong-armed force of police and special constables lay in ambush , ( through being informed by a spy , one who pretended to be one of our friends , ) waiting on the parties coming out of the printing-office , which was rather late at night , partly owing to the meeting being held so late , together with the printer being otherwise engaged , so that it was after ten at night before he went te press .
The Placard . —At a meeting held in the Musichall , Blackburn , August 24 th , 1842 , for the purpose of bringing the present strike to a speedy and profitable close , the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : —1 . That this meeting is of opinion that the unequalled amount of distress that prevails in this nation , calls for the sympathies of every philanthropist an * lover of his country . 2 . That this meeting ia of opinion that the cause of the present distress is in consequence of bad laws caving a tendency of cramping the energies and enterprise of the British , and thereby
diminishing the value of our labour , and destroying the home trade . 3 . That this meeting is of opinion , that we can never experience happiness and prosperity in this country until the people bav a voice in making those laws by which their lives and property are to ba regulated . At the close of the meeting it was proposed that all hands ( meaning those who had struck work ) return to work on Thursday morning , ( that was the next day , } which was lost by every band beiug held up against it . —W . and R . Holt , printers , Penny-street , Blackburn .
The parties who were arrested are Robert Holt , printer , Jonathan Gibson , Secretary to the Chartist Association , and George Wilson , a power-loom weaver . After their arrest ( which was about two o ' clock on Thursday morning ) the police were dispatched te Jonathan Gibson ' s , to search and ransack his house for the purpose of finding some communications belonging the Chartists , it having been rumoured that an armed force was expected in the town at night . However they were disappointed , for they found nothing but a few private letters of his own , a small memorandum book belonging to the Chartists , ( of no value , ) a teetotal card , and a medal of Feargus O Connor . They were brought before the magistrates on Thursday , and pat back foi farther examination , and removed to Preston House cf Correction , from whence they were brcught back en Wednesday . After a week's confinement they were
brought up again , when no charge could be brought to bear against them . Wilson , the young man , was discharged , and the other bound over to keep the peace and discharged , on condition to appear again when called upon . During their confinement Gibson was repeatedly asked to stand np and walk across the room to exhibit himself ( he was then laid down to rest ) to the several g ^ nts and special constables who were regularly coming in to look what kind of an animal this Chartist Secretary was j but be peremptorily mfused to comply with their request On their discharge Gibson got ail his papers and other articles returned to him again , except the medal , which they hold ; end the superintendent of police says the magistrates ordered him not to give it up . . The magistrates cautioned several persons eonnected with Gibson to be aware of him , as he was a Chartist
The licenso oi Mr . James Briggs , of the Fleece Inn , in Ptnny-street , has been suspended , for snffering Feargus O'Connor to stay at bis house , when in Blackbum , at our demonstration . I wonder whether the magistrates of Preston will suspend the license of the Bull Hotel , because Feargus O Connor uuts up there ? Tue Chartists of Blackburn have narrowly escaped being drawn into a snare by a spy , who pretended being one of our friends . He is a townsman , and has ever spouted Chartism . He was luckily discovered , and his plot too : bad it not been , he would have got a great number either killed or transported . You shall have the particulars hereafter . —Corratpwicfen * .

Alabming Thunder Stohm , in London . —At about Beven o ' clock on Wednesday evening , a few faint . flashes of lightning , with a heavily oloaded Bky , gave earnest of a storm , which gradually roared , and ultimately became very violent . The lightning was awfully vivid , and of a dazzling blue colour , flash succeeding flash in terrible rapidity , while the thunder was prolonged , and of a deep tone , suggesting the idea of having resulted from the concentration of matter which could not explode itself . At abont half-past seven there was a heavy shower , whioh began with a few large drops , and after a succession of lightning flashes , poured down in torrents . The storm soon attained its height , and nothing more splendid as a spectacle can be imagined . The lightning was almost incessant , and when the thunder was rolling , there seemed to be a rumbling in the earth . 'Viewed by the side of the river , the scene was magnificent
in the extreme , the whole atmosphere playing in blue fire , which was reflected on the water . We have this morning witnessed a few of the results of the storm . It appears that the fluid entered a house situate in Shepperton-street , Islington , through the chimney , whence it passed in an oblique direction towards the door of tho front kitchen , bursting it open ; after doing which it wound its way to a cellar , the door of which it also shattered , ripping off the fastenings and other iron work . A man who was crossing the bridge close to Canonbury House was knocked down but , farther than the shock and the fright consequent thereon , received no injury . A little before nine , a horse , which was drawing a cart along the Holloway Road , became unmanageable ; breaking from the shafts aud throwing the rider . At about a quarter past nine the storm abated , and by { half-past ten was at an end ; though the atmosphere continued very hut , and the Bky was still clouded . —Evening Star .
Murder at ( Juadbtng , near Sfalding , Lincolnshire . —On Friday morning last the inhabitants of this village were thrown into a state of alarm by the report that Miss Mary Spencer was murdered . The particulars are as follow : —Mary Spencer kept a day-sohooi in Qaadring , and resided in a small cottage left by her father , consisting of two rooms on the ground floor , the smaller room being her sleeping-room , and the other one the school-room . Three children went as usual on Friday morning at nine o ' clock to the deceased ' s house , and on opening the door saw her lying across a form in the school-room , dressed only in her night-clothes , aud a quautity of blood upon the floor ; they immediately ran away in terror , and told a neighbour what they had seen .
Ine person on going to the spot saw Mary Spencer lying across a form as described . On Mr . Morris , surgeon , of Gosberton , being called in , he found a wound from the right ear , under the throat to the chest , about nino inches in length , and dividing the caroiid artery , and pronounced that she must have bled to death . On examining the house , it appeared that a back tviadow adjoiuingtho bed had been broken open , and that the murderer had made an entrance . It is supposed that the deceased , in attempting to escape , # ot near to the streotdoor , but was pulled back by the monster , aud stabrcd as described . It is supposed that he was alarmed , and then made off . A man named Wm . Hovrett , a labourer , was apprehended on Friday night on suspicion , under the following singular circumstances .
On tho day of the discovery Mr . Loughland , a lanti surveyor , whilst measuring some land , met a neighbour , and talking about this tragical event , a labourer ( the father of Howett ) , who was sitting by taking some refreshment and listening to the conversation , exclaimed , ' 1 wonder what Bill ' s been up to , he was out all night , and came home all over blood . " Mr . Loughland immediately informed a constable at Dorniugton , who took Howett into custody . Tiie inquest was held at the Red Cow Inn , at Quadring , on Saturday , and was adjourned till Thursday . No doubt is entertained as to the guilt of the prisoner . We hear that a clasp-knife was found upoo him with blood upon it ; he is deaf and dumb , though quite sane , and is about 26 year ? of age , and muoh respected .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Edinburgh , Sep . 6 , 1842 . Sir , —The following resolution was adopted this evening at a Committee Meeting of the Edinburgh Chartist Association , and you will oblige the Committee by giving it a place in tbe Star of this week if possible . Thos . Blackie , See Resolved—' That this Committee return their sincere thanks to the Editors of the Northern Star aud British Statesman for their able aud long continued services in the cause of the people . But the Committee are of opinion that naw , when the Bufferings of the people are so intense , and tyranny rides rampant over the land , setting the laws at defiance and trampling on the Constitution , that we
need all the talent , virtue and power we possess in our ranks , to resist tyranny and relieve the suffering . Therefore without pretending to decide on the right or wrong of either of the above gentlemen , we implore them in the name of Democracy and a suffering people , that whatever cause of ill-feeling or quarrel they may have with each other , that they would sacrifice these feelings for the good of the cause , and no longer directly or indirectly allow them to appear in their columns , whioh are at present alienating our friends , and consequently , strengthening our enemies ; but to give us the whole power of the press under their controul , to aid that holy public cause which their papers were established to support . Signed in name of the committee ,
Thomas Blackie , Secretary . [ We thank our Edinburgh friends for their good opinion . We trust that they have never yet found us wanting in our duty to tho people and thoir cause . We trust they never will do so . But we should be grievously wanting iu it , did we hesitate to tear the mas £ from off the visage of a traitor when we see him deliberately striving to destroy our movement , and to hand over the people neck and crop to the flesh merchants ; living upon the people , while he omits no opportunity of playing into the enemy ' s hands . We have long known him to be , as a man , unworthy of'respect or esteem ; but we did not
permit that knowledge to prevent us from according him our warmest support so long as wo thought him honest in the people ' s cause . Our Edinburgh friends speak of our ' * long continued services "—they have therefore been readers of the Star for some length of time ; and must know that we have laboured incessantly to enhance the interests , and uphold the popularity of that man . Wo did so because , though we knew him in other r « 3 pects , we thought him honest as a politician . We believed him to be " devoted to the people's cause . " We were alack and slow iu admitting the conviction which wo now hold , that he is one whose patriotism vanishes immediately that it cornea in contact with the bad
propensities of his own nature . Once satisfied of . . this , it became our duty to the people to unmask him . We have done so ; they now see him as he is ; and they will take their own course with him 1 We have done -with him . Our friends will gee from an observation elsewhere , that we do not purpose to occupy further time or space with him . We have now only to request that no person will hereafter send to this office any communications having any reference to him or his paper ; as we shall not print them . Let as many as choose to read his paper do so ; let him say what he likes in it ; only let us not be further annoyed with or about it . —Ed . AT . S . ]

WEST BROMWICH . Wednesday Evening . This morning a meeting of iron and coal-masters , called by Mr . Salter , was held at the Dartmouth Arms , to meet a deputation of men from the various pits , with a view to an amicable settlement of the difference between the masters and men . Amongst those present were Mr . Eaton , Mr . J . Nock , Mr . T . Whitehouse , Mr . Hood , and Mr . Fisher , coal and iron-masters ; agents were also present from the workir or Messrs . Spittle and Heines , Messrs . Guest , Wood , and Salter . Several gentlemen anxious to effect a eeUlement were also preBent and amongst them were Dr . Booth , W . Chance Esq ., Mr . Burgess , Commissioner of the BirmiBgham police , J . Meredith , Esq ., Oaptaia Baldwin ? and others .
^ Wm . CHANCB , Esq ., a magistrate and manafiw-• T ? ., Bltmingham , felt bound to say he considered the present atrike one of more than ordinary importance , the effects of which were daily being felt ^ hroughout the country . The question waa one which had assumed a national importance and u . which every man might ba said to be in tereated . He had in his factory six hundred men ° Z « L women and boys , to whom not less A 7 W a week was paid in wages . There were not less than two thousand , five hundred individuals depending upon the above amount of wages

and he certainly felt that he had a deep interest in their welfare and whatever affected them . He had been three weeks ago within a very Bhort time of stopping all his works , owing to the want of coal . He had been obliged to get coal from Derby , and every other place he could , at a very considerable loss , and inconvenience . He did not complain of that Iobb , bat he looked at the present strike as one deeply affecting the interests of the country generally . They had not much coal in Birmingham , and the scarcity must be felt in other places . He and Dr . Booth had received a deputation from the colliers , consisting of about thirty men , and he must say he never met a body of men with better feelings towards their masters , or men who . if they told the truth , had stronger grounds of complaint against persons who had the employment of them .
Dr . Booth next addressed the meeting in explanation of the motives whioh induced him to come forward on that occasion . He and the magistrates of Birmingham , in common with those throughout the county , had had a good deal of anxiety in preserving the peace , and now that tranquility was perfectly restored , they were most anxious to retain it , and they felt that nothing would more effectually tend to restore complete order , than the restoration of the colliers to the pits . He felt bound to corroborate Mr . Chance in the character he had given of the colliers . He had met the deputation of miners with a very unfavourable impression respecting them ; but he was really bound to say he had been most agreeably surprised at their conduot . He had never met a better behaved body of working men in his life , and he should never feel any difficulty in meeting one thousand of them .
Mr . Salter said he had every reason to believe that all the masters in that part of the- county would remove the abuses of whioh the men had reason to complain . He thought they might now safely close that inquiry . Some men said they were afraid to complain , because they would be discharged . Several agents said the men might rely upon it the masters would not refuse to liBten to any proper complaint , nor would they allow any man to be put away by the butties for complaining . Dr . Booth then addressed the men , and advised them to go at once to their masters and avail themselves ot the present favourable feeling . They had no right to doubt the sincerity of the masters , who had expressed their determination not to allow any more oppression upon their men .
Lord Dartmouth said he hoptd things would now take a favourable turn , and that they would soon be all at work . . During the course of the meeting it was stated that nearly all the pits had been set on to work during the last two days at the old prices—the proposed reduction having been abandoned by some masters . The other proportion , it is hoped , will soon follow . It is , therefore , to be hoped that the whole district will immediately resume labour , so far as consumption will allow , and that the admitted evils of which the men have to complain may never be repeated , nor the peaco of society threatened by such a mass of discontent being thrown upon it . —V « n . GEORGE WHITE . We have , by this morning ' s post , received from Mr . White the following : — Warwick County Gaol .
Dear Mr . Hill , —From letters which I have received since I have been here , it appears that the authorities have adopted a new plan ; instead of refusing bail altogether , they have placed it at £ 100 , and a proviso thai the party offering himself shall not be a Chartist . —There ! if that is not Justice ' s justice with a vengeance ! Where is the man that will now be so stupid as to talk of law ? I understand that as soon as any person sends ( his name to the magistrates , as willing to be one of my sureties , one of the police runners is dispatched , not to enquire whether he has the necessary qualification , but to know whether he be a Chartist v and in that case he is rejected ! I find that there are three indictments against me instead of two , as stated in my last . Twv of them will be brought forward at Birmingham , and one at Warwick .
I feel greatly annoyed by my letters being with held , on account of their containing accounts of public meetings , &o . ; and I think it would be well for my friends to abstain from making any such statements in future . Yours , truly , George White . Rev . Wm . Hill .
