Huddkesfield . —Oa . Monday morning week , the gentry of the town assembled early , for the purpose of meeting their candidates at Wakefield . Carnages and norsemen continued to leave the town for everal hours , amidst tbe cheers of numerous spectators . Late in the eveniBg , great numbers assembled on tioc Shore Head , to wait their retarn , and when , the procession arrived they were greeted with tbe most rapturous plaudit * - —On Thursday morning iweMfce Pofliag for the West Ridingjtandidaies commenced in good earnest by both parties . Early ia the morning a great number of vehicles rolled in in different directions , whilst numbers of them began to assemble in the Market Place , where the booths w « m « r » eie < L The most lively interest was evinced
"bj the non-electors , wh » formed themselves into Small companies , when the respective merits of tbe four candidates were freely discussed . The general feeling was in favour of the Blues , in eonseqaeaee of the treachery of the Whigs . As the hour for polling approached , great numbers of electors marched into the town , with their respective colours , all confident of success . The largest procession was from WebTiam , consisting of horsemen aad carriages « f e * ery -rariwy . Dartog the morning , Sir George Armytage arrived , followed by a numerous tenantry , bearing his co&t of arms . The good old English feeling was richly exhibited in the smiling . countenances of the whole tenantry , whose appearance wa 3 generally admired . Peace reigned triumphant ,
until a party of Yellows , on their way home , arrived at Longroyd Bridge , when one of the party , named Samuel Ramsden ( a man generally under the patronage of the Whigs , when a little dirty work requires being done ) , commenced abasing aH that came in his way , man , woman , and child . At leDgth , a general attack was made . A desperate struggle followed , the combatants using sticks and stones , which continued for a full hour . During the engagement the bridge was taken and retaken three or four times ; happily , bo very serious injury was sustained . The great hero of the fight , we understand , was taken
into custody . On Friday morning the polling was resumed , but the Whigs appeared as though they had not slept , « o pallid were their cheeks . Daring the polling , » drunken Yoter of tbe name of Paine , keeper of » beer-house , was brought up by the Yellows in a chaise , but offered his vote to the Blues . As both parties claimed him , his vote' wa 3 refused , in consequence of being drunk . About four o ' clock the Paddock bastile nag was seen in the streets , accompanied by a baud , playing the tone of "Oh > dear , what can the matter be ? " This was followed by a great number of blue banners , oa which was inscribed a number of excellent mottos : the last
one in the procession claimed the most attention ; it was a black flag , with the following very ominous inscription : — * The downfa ll of Whiggery ! the people doB * t like you . " In a few minutes , not a yellow card or ribbon was to be seen in the whole town . At the time this procession moved by the George Inn , an old woman had mounted a wooden stall , and addressed a vast multitude for ab » ut half * n boor , which created great animation , and kept the people in excellent humour . All remained peaceable , aad after parading the streets for a short time , the people separated , and returned home , highly delighted with tbe expected return of the Blue candidates . On Friday evening , a man was seen walking in the streets with a lanthorn and besom , for the purpose of finding the Whigs , and destroying all yellow cards , lest they might get into Mr . Brook ' * dam , and choke i t J
Keighlet . —The election proceedings here on last Thursday and Friday , passed off without anything remarkable . Daring the forenoon of the former day , numerous bodies of electors continued to arrive from the different townships , accompanied with music and banners , and other insignia , mostly yellow . The superior display of this colour was in a great measure accounted for by the preponderating influence of Whig landlords and manufacturers in this part of the Hiding . One thing , however * very evident in the midst of it was , that the popular spirit was dead to the interest of either party . The spectators surveyed the procession will cold indifference ; and from beginning to ending , not one solitary voice cried * God save Richard . On the Friday evening , when it was ascertained that the Blue party were triumphant , tbe ringers found their way into the
bellehaaber , and commenced ringing for the victors . This having been previously forbidden by the rector , he ruslud to the door of the belfry to stop the mischief , but all in vain ; the ringers having locked the door to prevent interruption , and his appeals for entrance were only answered by the peals of the bells . To make the poor , gentleman ' s situation still worse , a crowd of boys and young men collected around him , aad commenced ringing in his ears a variety of new peak about Easter . dues , which it is said has bo offended him that he declares he will now enforce them at all awards . A few instances hare occurred of Whig manufacturers turning their weavers off for daring to express their indifference ab « at Whig sucee& 8 , and several more have declared their determination to shot np shop altogether , rather than carry on business under a Blue Tory Government .
Boxbuegh . —On Tuesday last , the nomination o candidates for the county of Roxburgh took place in JedbuTgh . Every exertion was made by both Whigs and Tories to bring as maajfcrf their supporters to the Bommation at they could , after it was knoirn that the Chartists meant to nominate Mr . John Fnser , of Edinburgh . Every village and hamlet in the county was agitated by tbe different parties for supporters . The Wnigs held out the tempting bait of a big loaf , parading the straeta of Hawiek with a large and small loafthe Urge one inscribed " Elliot ' s Loaf , " and the small one " Scott's Loaf . * ' This , no doubt , had its effect on many ; still the Chartists continued firm in their resolution , aad mustered in great numbers at Hawiek , oh the Monday evening , and after walking in procession ,
Mr . Fraaar addressed them in the Market-place . A"t the efTTKilnwnn of bia address , the question iras put to the meeting whether they considered Mr . Frazer a fit and proper person to represent the county in Parliameat , when a whole forest of hands was held np amid great cheering . —Tuesday morning was wet and lowering , yet the Chartists turned out in considerable numbers , and marched to Jedborgh , a distance of ten miles , where , by all the means which wealth enabled the factions to make use of , the numbers of people collected together was unprecedented on any similar occasion . A number of Chartists attended from Q&l&KbAels , Kelso , and other places in the county . Mr . Bell , of Hunthill , ( Crown Agent for Scotland , with a handsome alary ) , nominated the Hon . John E . Elliot , and Mr .
Murray , farmer , seconded him . Sir Q . Warrender Dominated the Hon . Francis Scott , and Mr . Bailie , of Mellertam . seconded him ; Mr . Fr&zsr was proposed by Mr . John Haig , and seconded by Mr . "WalUr Willan , both of Hawkk . The speeches of the Whig and Tory movers and seconders were of the common stamp , the one landing and the other condemning the present Go-TenuaeiA and theii plans for caring the evilB under whidiihe « otuxfcryi » laboBriBg ; and the speech of Mr ¥ . Seott was a medley of the opinions of other men on the proposed measures , he all the time declining to give any opinion of bis own on the subject Mr . Elliet was not present . Mr . Prus made a most effective speech , which was listened to throughout with tbe most prof eand attention by the immense multitude . He was in
the centre of the hustings , the Whigs being on his right snd fee Tories on his left , t « each of which he dealt aome home thrusts . On the show of hands » eing taken , the numbers for Elliot and Fraser appeared nearly tqaal , Tery few being held up for Scott , and the Sheriff dedded that Elliot had the majority in his favour . Jir . Scott demanded a poU , and Mr . Frazjr said that while lie admitted the justice of the Sheriff ' s decision be declined going to the polL Taas ended a ceremony which ¦ wiH be long remembered on the Border , as tbe first where tbe voice of the people aad of truth was heard frem tbe nomination hustings in Jedburgh- It will not be tbe last , and altaeuga we did not succeed In carry ing tbes&owof hands , yet we are confident tbatan impression has been made by Mr . Fnzsrt -visit which will result
jn geod U the cause of freedom at no distant date . The polling dosed on Friday , when Mr . Scott , the Buedeuch nominee had a majority of SS , and of course carried the election . The polling eoaimenced bere at the usual hear on Thursday , and proceeded without interruption , and all would have passed qwietly off if it had not been for the brutal eenduet of the Edinburgh police , between twenty and thirty of whom had been brought into tbe tows the previous cigit They were ordered to clear the inn yard , in front of which the polling booth was erected , and in deing so , they struck with their heavy bludgeons all that cazne in their way . Sevan * boys were severely cat in the head ; they eTen ¦ truck them oa the ground after knocking them down . This instated the people eo aoefa that none of the bludgeon men could saow their faces in the streets after , b * t kept snug within doors . After the poll had dosed it the day , a strong party of the 4 th Dragoons
one into the town at a rapid psce ; they had been about thiee miles off the night before , and remained in the ins yard ttU nine o ' clock , for what purpose nobody eould tell , as the town was perfectly quiet All parties . agree in deprecating this military interference , as there was not the least occasion either for them or the bludgeon men ; there could not be a quieter election . A pablk rawrting , called by the magistrates oa the requisition of a somber # f tbe inhabitants was held on the Coaaon Hongh in the evening , Mr .

tkvir head , pat forth a defiance of- the landed interest , and after hunting about for candidates , actually entered tae field , last Saturday , and Bomin&ted CoL Cheney and Mr . Gisborne , ( the rejected of Newport , Isle of Wight , ) against HaUord and Packe , the Tory Member * in the late Parliament Tbe Cattle-yard was densely crowded . The Chartists , In a fins phalanx , had possession of the centra ! ground , ia f ¥ * at of tbe buting * , first Next came up the Tories ontiieii left , sad then ^ he Whig * , with a b * ad of aboat forty nffiaas in white-blUyhats , armed-with bludgeons , en their right The billyoota exerted all ttwtr strength to break the central phalanx of Chartist *; bnt the » ppesraBee of Cooper and Bairatow upon the tastings Minmtod their seal , and after a hearty volley of ebeew , -and a signiacant * eckon

" Finally , when the ruffians grew too impatient to be wtthbeW from throwing the crowd Into confasion , and made a desperate attempt on the centre ,: their hats wereseixed . and went seen flying and torni » , ail dir «> tians , * ad they were compelled to retreat AftefAbe nomination of : the Tony and Whig candidates , Cooper and Bairstow were also nominated as theChartisVwididatet ; and when the show of haads was taken , the numbers ware folly as mnefa in their fevonr as in taoee of any of the other candidates . The Sheriff , howewr , gave his decision in favour of the Whigs , and a poll was demanded "by the Conservatives . The eooiest was
a most miserable failure on tbe part of the manufacturers . At the dose of the first day ' s poll , the Mayor appeared on the portico of the Bell Hotel , and actually blubbered like a ehild ! He has secured for himself , for life , the emphatic soubriquet of " weeping John , the first man in the borough . " Throughout the contest , the Chartists openly and manfully avowed taeir determination to aid the Tories in preference to the Wbigs . The policy commenced at Nottingham , has thus been consistently maintained . by the . men of the Midland Counties , t » the close of the strugglt ; and in spite of all the calumnies of their enemies , the men of Leiceater , Loughborough , and Nottingham , confidently rely on the future to prove the correctness of their foresight , and tj produce a harvest of advantage to ChartisKi .

No Property Qualification , and Payment of Members-of Parliament for their time and services . —Dated July 5 th , 1841 . " Mr . O'Higgins obtained thirty signatures to this document ; all of whom stood true to it The parish priest of Ann-street took it to O'Doubleface who refused to sign , and so lost the thirty votes . This is doing business in the right way .

YORKSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES . ( Continued from our tixlh page . ) CROWN COURT . —Wednesday , July U . ( Before Mr . Justice Wightman . J SHEEP STEALING . Wm . Watson , 37 , was charged with having on the 24 th of April , at Greasbro , ' stolen an ewe sheep , the property of — Jackson . Mr . Pashuby ivasfor theprosecntion ; the prisoner was undefended . The prosecutor is a farmer residing in the parish of Greasbro . ' The prisoner was a mechanic , and lived at Old Holland about 300 or 600 yards from a field in tbe occupation of Mr . John Hawley , where the sheep were ~ dep % sfc 6 rifig at the time the offence was committed . Mr . Jackson agisted twenty-two sheep in this field , and oa the 23 d and 24 th of April ,
they were seen in the field , but on the following morning , one was missing . On the 25 th , the contables of Kotherham and Kimbarworth searched she prisoner ' s house , and in the garret found the prosecutor ' s sheep in a sack with the skin on , and the sack was coTered over with bed clothes . The prisoner told one of the constables that he had found the sheep that morning abaut six o ' clock , but not being able to carry it home himself , he got his wife to assist him . The prisoner ' s shoes were taken off and compared with the feetmarks in the field , and those leading from the field to the prisoner ' s house , and they corresponded exactly . There was also a consideiable quantity of blood . A knife was found in the prisoner's house with marks of blood and grease upon it , as if it hid been recently used .
The prisoner ' s defence agreed with the statement he made to the constable . Guilty .
MAXSI ^ CGHTEB . John Sykes , 26 . was charged with the manslaughter of John Raikiiffe . at Halifax . Sir Gregory Lewin and Mr . Hall appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr . Wilkiss for the prisoner . Sir G . Lewis very briefly stated the case . The deceased and the prisoner were fighting , and the deceased had a poker in his hand . The question was whether the prisoner had taken the poker ont of the deceased's hand , and , by giving him . sundry blows on tbe head with it , bad caused his death . It appeared , from the evidence of Mr . Robertshaw , surgeon , that when he was called upon to attend the deceased , be found some wounds on his head , and that , in bis opinion , the immediate cause of death resulted from erysipelas , and the erysipelas was caused by the wounds . He ordered the deceased to keep still : but he had not done eo , and it was
probable that if he had kept still , and had not taken drink , that erysipelas would not have supervened . The erysipelas began with the wound at the back of the head . It also appeared , from the statement of the other witnesses , that on Saturday night , the 8 : h of May , several persons met near the canal at Sowerby Bridge , among whom were the prisoner and the deceased , when a quarrel took place , and the decaased Btrack prisoner with a poker . The prisoner took the poker from him , and struck him EeTerai times . Sykes also knocked the deceased down , and kicked him , apparently , several times on the head . The deceased was shtvm to be in a perfect state of fury before the fight took place , he having fought with another man , and , according to the statement of one of the witnesses , the deceased ' s hair at the back of his head was wet and stiff before the fight with the prisoner took place , but she could not say whether it was blood or
not . Mr . "Wilkiss addressed the jury for the prisoner , contending that the case was so lull of doubt , that they could not convict the prisoner . The jury , without hesitation , found the prisoner not guilty .
BOBBERY . George Burkitishatt , 32 , was charged with having on the 19 th of November last , at Sheffield , stolen from the Royal Hotel , in tlw occupation of William Travis , £ 29 in gold , silver , and copper , and an accountable receipt of the Sheffield bank , for the sum of € 100 , the property of Wm . Travb . Mr . Heaion and Mr . Pickering were for the prosecution , and Sir . G . Lewis and Mr . Wilkins appeared for the prisoner . The prosecutors in this case were a society , called the "Norfolk Sick Society . " It was instituted by poor persons , their object being to contribute monthly small sums of money , in order to provide for their necessities in sickness and old age . The prisoner was a member of this society ,
which was established at Sheffield , and its meetings were held at the house of Mr . Travis . In July , 1840 , tfce prisoner was elected president of the society for the year ensuing . Among the persons elected to other offices at the same time was Thomas Best , who was appointed the senior warden , and who is now the president . By the rules of the society , meetings are held on the first Monday in every mouth , and a box was provided , in which was deposited the books and rarions Other property belonging to the society , and that box was placed in a room in the house , and was kept locked with three locks , the keys belonging to which differed from one another . One of the keys was kept by the president , and each of the others by the senior
and junior wardens . By the rules all the monies had to be deposited in the box , and only certain portions of the money were left in the hands of the president , who paid what was necessary to those members who had claims on the society during the ensuing mouth . No money could be deposited in or taken out of the box except in the presence of the president , the two wardens , and two of the members called assistants . A meeting of the socisty was held on Monday the 2 nd of May , and on that occasion the sum of £ 13 6 s . 7 d . was deposited in the box as that evening ' s receipt . There was in the box besides this the Sam of £ \ 4 6 s . 7 ± , and an accountable receipt which was given by the bank of Parker , Shore , & Co . With regard to this document the custom
appears to be thi 3 : —When a person deposits money in the bank , he receives a receipt as an acknowledgement for deposit , bnt before he can receive the money out of the bank , he has to present the receipt , and after it is to presented , tbe endorsement of other parties has to be placed upon it . There was also in the box three small Bums of money belonging to three of the members . On th * 4 th of November the prisoner took a locksmith named Knowlson to Mr . Travis ' s house , to take two of the locks from the box , in order that keys might be made for them , as he said he had lost them . Knowlson took the locks of £ and the prisoner hung on another lock which he fastened . The contents of the ber were afterwards missing , and on the 19 th of
Nfrvempera person named John Ibbeteon met the prisoner in tbe street and a person named BelL The prLwner asked Ibbetson to go to the bank to obtain the a ? 100 but he refused . After Bome conversation , however , h « agreed to go to the bank on the following daj . The prisoner then represented himself to be the president of the society , and the other two persons as the senior and junior wardens , thereby getting possession of the money , and an indorsment on the receipt was made by the parties in question . S : r Gkegobt Lewi * took *« objection to the tease proceeding on the ground that his Learned Jnena had opened the case as a partnership which existed among the members , and he apprehended that a man could not steal his own mosey . The eodety was not enrolled under the act .

Mr . Heaton was heard in reply , and The Judge decided that the case should proceed . After all tbe evidence had been heard , Sir Gr egory Lswm raised an objection as fatal to the case that the receipt could not be called a valnable receipt as a part of it was torn ' off . The Judge was of the -same opinion ^ and after Sir 6 .

NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES The nomination of candidates for the representation of thiB county waa fixed for Monday by the High Sheriff , James Barry , Esq . From an early hour the passages to the Court House were densely tilled . Shorty beforetwelveo ' clock , Mr . Leader appeared on the hustings with his proposer and seconder , and a lew friends , and shortly after was followed by Mr . G . S . Barry and Mr . E . B . Roche and their friends , or more properly speaking the friends of the latter , for in respect to friends the " auld Member" was , like " the last rose of summer , left weeping aloKe . " Immediately after these gentlemen , the High Sheriff and his Sub , Mr . William Johnson , and Major Brownrigg , R . M ., and Mr . Gere Joues , R . M ., appeared . After a great deal of crushing and thumping , squeezing and screeching , cries of ailence
The Sub-Sheriff read the precept for holding the Election . The High-Sheriff , calling sileace , proclaimed that the County Electors , by virtue of the writ they had heard read , were entitled to put Candidates in nomination for ihe representation of the County of Cork in Parliament . —( Yells . ) Mr . Barry , ex-member , then presented himself before them , for the purpose of announcing , and they might rest assured he did so with regret —( here a tear was seen to trickle down his cheek)—that he was retiring from the honour of being a candidate for the representation of this great county in the next Parliament . ( Loud cheering . ) Circumstances had lately arisen rendering that necessary . ( A
Voice— " That's very , very bad treatment , indeed . ") These circumstances were the temporary defeat or Ireland's Liberator , and be did so to make a demonstration in his favour , and shew bis political opponents that O'ConneU waa still dear to the people of Ireland . ( Shouts . ) They knew it was the onl y recompense they could make him for his defeat —they all kuew that it was unnecesssry for him to pasBapaiegyricor eulogium upon him , and he would therefore conclude , by saying , that though it was one of the greatest honours to which he could aspire , the representing of hia native county in Parliament , so it was tbe greatest compliment that could be paid him to request him to retire in favour of Mr . O'ConneU . ( Hero his eyes again filled with tears , and
his utterance became choked , strongly evidencing that the unfortunate gentleman was forced to speak against bis feelings . ) He should conclude by proposing Daniel O'CunaelL , Esq ., as & nt—( here he had again to pause while struggling with his feelings)—and proper person to represent this great county in Parliament . ( Great yelling . ) Mr . Beamish , ex-Member for the city , rose and was met with great uproar . He called upon them for a moment ' s attention . ( Yelling . ) He was called upon , by the electors of the county of Cork —( a voice , " How many ! " )—to second the nomination of Ireland ' s Liberator . ( Yells . ) He looked upon the present juncture of affairs as all important , and as
calling upon them to have as a representative for the largest county in Ireland him whom a temporary defeat alone—the deoisitnof an adverse assessor , but which a Committee of the House of Commons would settle , as it had settled the non-resident freemen in this city , would rectify . Daniel O'ConneU now came forward , invited by the « ounty ot Cork , and he ( Mr . B . ) was prond he owe forward to solicit their suffrages , for whom a man had given way that bad faithfully and diligently executed his duties as their Member winee 1832 . He seconded the nomination . Mr . Roche was than nominated by Mr . Clancey , of CharleviUe , and seconded by Mr . J . E . McCarthy , of Raddone .
CoL Hodder , of Hoddersfield , am uist tite most determined interruption from the O'Counellues , proposed Mr . M . P . Leader , whose nomination was seconded in a proper Tory speech , delivered through a perfect storm of yelling , hooting , and interruption by Mr . ConnerBf Manch House .

GneaV the ex-member and > Whig candidate , was proposed and seconded by Messrs . Crawshay and James . ^ Mr . Argust then proposed . Mr . Morgan ; Williams as a candidate ( tremendous cheering and staurping of feet and indeed more than once it waa expected that the frail tenement in . which they were assembled would come down to the ground . ) , -i Mr . Henry Thomas , seconded the nomination . ' ' The Returning Officer then put it to » show of hands ; but he declared that he could not undertake to decide which party had it . ; . A second show . of hands was then taken , and the Returning Officer deolared it to be in favour of Mr . Morgan Williams . ( Tremendous oheeting . ) :
Mr . David James then demanded a poll , which the returning officer appointed to take p lace next day at eight in the morning , to close at four in the afternoon . Some conversion then took place , and the raturnag officer adjourned the court to a field , in which hustings had been erected . No sooner had the hustings been taken possession of by the parties than the field w » s filled with people . Tbe ; mooting was addaessed briefly by Messrs . Guest and Crawshay . .
Mr . Morgan Williams then came forward , and addressed the assembly at great length , first in English and then in Welsh . He said that at a former election . ihe had supported in the strongest manner Sir J . Guest , while he was opposed by that very Mr . Crawshay who now supported him ; but he ( Mr . W . ) now opposed him because he saw that he was not what he had professed to be—the friend of the people . He was the supporter of a Government which had not offered them any of those bo called blessings which they now held out , until the eleventh hour , when they eaw that they were about to lose their places , and were prepared even to go the length of doing what one of their own associates , Lord Melbourne , called an act of madnsas , throw this country on foreign nations for the means of getting its daily bread , so that if we were to Quarrel with them we must be starved for want of that bread whioh we had forced our own farmers
to give over growing for want of a market . A great boast had been made about their intention of giving cheap bread to the working man , but what did cheap bread mean ! Why , cheap bread means cheap labour ; that was to say , that they would first reduce the price of bread by admitting the corn of the foreigner at a low duty , and then they would lower the wages of the workmen to meet the lowered price of corn , for every one knew that the price of labour was regulated by the price of corn . Now , with respect to this very measure of a fixed duty of 8 s ., Sir J . Guest said he was willing to give his full support to the Government , and consequently waa in favour of an 83 . duty , while his proposer ( Mr . Crawfchay ) wa 8 for nothing less than anabsolutefree trade . There was consistency ! As to free trade , that was all a fallacy , if intended as a benefit . He would tell them what free trade was . The French made
gloves , which could be sold in London at a cheaper rate than the English could do . it , and the consequence was that the English glovers were starving , while the Frenoh were well employed . To be sure , instead of giving them the means of maintaining themselves by honest labour , they offered them the mercies of the New Poor Law , and the starvation Union workhouses . ( Loud groans . ) The Government , instead of diminishing the taxes that ground the poor workman to the dust , actually increased them , and were new going to levy a tax on bread , that they might have money to cover a deficiency in the revenue , caused by their own bad conduct and incapacity . He frequently referred to a paper which
he held in his hind , ia support of hie propositions , and he was loudly cheered throughout his address . In the middle of his speech , however , the crowd was seized with a panic , occasioned , as it was supposed , by some one throwing * stone , which it was feared would lead to a serious disturbance . However , all passed off quietly . Mr . Morgan Williams called on them to be peaceable , for it' they were not so it would be laid to him . This produced an evident effect on them . He commented in severe terms on the readiness of the Whigs to promise , but their utter disregard of their promises when they had obtained their purpose . He was much cheered .
Mr . Morgan Williams being then asked whether be intended to go to the pall , said he did not . The Returning Officer then declared Sir J . Guest duly elected , and the meeting separated , the Chartists rejoicing as from a victory , and the Whigs annoyed at being bearded and hissed , and at beiug disturbed in tke " even tenor of their way . " It is with pleasure that we do the Returning Officer the justice to say that he did his duty in the most fair and impartial manner , and was evidently actuated by an intense anxiety to give satisfaction to all parties , which seemed a very difficult matter where there was so much violence and party feeling displayed , but we have heard since that all parties were perfectly satisfied with his conduct , and were convinced that he wishod to act in the very spirit of the solemn oath he had just taken . — Welshpaptr .

RELEASE OF BLACK OF NOTTINGHAM
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —There appeared an account in the Star some time ago ef the arrest of George Black , of Nottingham , at Pontypool , Monmouthshire , and of his committal for a month's hard labour to the House of Correction at Uak . You requested some of the friends about Pontypool to give some farther information about him , but the trould-be Chartists there , did not think it worth while either to give the readers of the Star , or any of the Chartists of the neighbourhood , any such information . We are very much surprised at this , for a better , houeater , and a more disinterested advocate of the cause , does not exist than Gaorge Black , of Nottingham .
We understand that he has now left the prison , and for anything known to the contrary , pennyless and in want We trust that his case will be made known through the columns of the Star , and that he will meet with that sympathy , which his case deserves . We know he is not the man to make his sufferings known , and we know , at the same time , be has done very much for the cause in Monmouth and Glamorgan . The geoda taken from him were of considerable value , and we trust that their worth , will' be made up . Merthyr will do its share towards such an object , and let the Chartists of Poutypool make up for their neglect by giving their share towards it The Council of the Association , Mertbyr Tydvil .

FROM OUB LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , July 15-The circumstance of damp , rainy , and disagreeable weather , which we in London have experienced for the last ten days , appears to have & most narcotic influence over politics and politicians , for there is reall y nothing to do , or doing . You only bear the grumblings of poor Whiglings , who have now made a most wondrous discovery—namely , that the Ballot is the grand panacea for all their troubles , those troubles being loss of place , power , and overbearing tyranny . I will merely give you one instance of their ( the Whi ^ s ) utter co ntempt of the people , though I have a number of cases at hand to prove more and worse actions . There ia , in this metropolis , one Mr .
Benjamin Armstrong , a Whig made magistrate of the county . This fellow has a number of small houses , which he farms , or compounds for ; all these houses give the right of suffrage to the inhabitants , or occupiers , upon the rates being paid . Well , to prevent their having votes , this gooa Whigling lets the rates remain unpaid , and the poor people be distrained upon for taxes which he ought to pay , and at the same time , lie states he ia a Liberal , though depriving men of their votes . But it is all of a piece with mouth reformers , when they have the workies under them—no chance will be allowed to them ( the workies ) ot exercising their rote , though they have the educational and brick qualification ; and Whigs and Liberals are in favour of such a qualification .
Tower Hamlets . —A registration committee has b « en formed , which is working well , and will , before long , relieve the borough from the presence of the Whig Fox .., - ' . ¦ . ' . , ¦ ¦' " . .. / " ¦ ¦ : ' ; :, :: ' ¦ Thb Police recoud of tho week gives us a pretty proof how far justice is dispensed in this metropolis , for you will find Honourable Captains and scions of nobility getting clear , because , policemen are not to be believed , when giving evidenoa against them , though a word against any poor wighi , is snre to be taken , and have full weight for their imprisonment . ¦ \

Tho demand for Flour during the week has been exten . sive , and although the arrivals are large , the whole hasbeen cleared off at oar quotations ; and as on millers have to-day agreed to advance their prices 1 b . per sack , a similar improvement may be anticipated on first supplies arriving from the coast!— -Arrivals here this week : English , 390 quarters Wheat , 10 ^ quarters Rye , 30 quarters Barley , 560 quarters Oata , and 2 , 320 sacks of Flour .

se ' nnight , whilit from 7 , 000 to 8 , 000 quarters of foreign have changed hands in bond , at rather over the rates then obtainable ; good Baltic red and middling Dantzic have brought 6 s . 6 d . and fine 63 . 94 , per 7 « lbs .

From Irelaud and coastwise the -imports amount to a fair average , for tbe season . At this morning ' s market there was not much passing , but the full currency of this day- se ' nniglit was firmly demanded by many holders of Wheat . The scarcity of superfine qualities of fresh manufactured English Flour enabled factors to obtain an advance of 6 d . per sack , and secondary qualities were likewise more readily sold at nearly a corresponding improvement in value . The trade in Oats and Oatmeal was without animation , and no alteration oan be noted in the quota * tions of those or any other article .
Londox Coaw Exchange , Monday , Jult 12 th . — There was only a moderate quantity of wheat Ifrom Essex , Kent , and Suffolk for this day ' s market , with a very limited show of barley , beans , and peas from all ihese counties ; of oats there were pretty good fresh arrival ? , having several vessels in from Ireland , with a few from our own coast and Scotland . The imports of foreign wheat during the past week have been rather large , but of other articles only to a limited extent . There was a good steady demand for wheat , prime samples commanding fully tbe rates of this day se ' naighfc , and although the middling and secondary qualities of Eng lish were not taken off freely , these descriptions were not cheaper . Free foreign was selected by our town millers i »
small quantities , for which they paid quite as much money ; the stock of this description here is reduced to about 3 , 001 qrs ., consisting of middling and ordinary qualities . Bonded wheat was held firmly at last week ' s prices , and the sa ^ es effected were only to a limited extent . Good marks of ship nour were the turn dearer , and in fair request . Grinding barley made the rates of last week , with a moderate demand . Prime season made malt was quite as dear , with a steady sale . Beans and peas brought fully the rates of . this day ge ' nnight , with tolerably good demand . The oat trade was unaltered in value .
fine fresh thrashed corn ; commanding a moderately good sale to the consumers , and all other sorts wer t held for fully as much money . Nothing of moment passing in linseed ; Odessa is worth 483 . per qf . One small lot of 81 qrs . newrapeseed was on sale to-day from Kent , the first sample of this year s growth , and in such condition from being housed in wet weather , that it is already warm in sacks on so short a voyage as from Sheerness , too inferior in consequence for the seedsmen , and held too high lot the crusher 3 ; an opening price is thus not established .

London Smithfield Cattle Market , JutT 12 . — Although the supply of Beasts offering in our market of to-day was , oa the whole , moderate , the Beef trade , particularly for the finest qualities , 0 win ? to a large portion of the arrivals coming to hand in middling and inferior condition , and to the attendance of buyers beiig pretty numerous , was animated , at an enhancement on last Monday ' s currencies of from 2 d . to 4 i . per 81 b ., the primest Scots readily producing 5 a . per 81 b ., * nd a , good clearance w « effected some time previously to the conclusion of business . From Scotland , the receipts , per steampackets , comprised 200 Scots , and 300 Sheep , the whole of which came to hand in good condition .
