and live a life of tolerable comfort , you have been misled . Depend upon it that the punishment of transportation is is heavy a punishment as death itself ; and I have no doubt that every one of tl , u -sriil be sorry that that sentence has not been passed upen you rather than that of transpcrtation for life , which it now becomes my duty to pass . I mention this because I know that there are people wicked enough to go 3 bout asd make fooiish and unprincipled persons their instsamenta in the commission of crime in the first place , in tie hope that when they go to penal Fettleffiects abroad , they may be cjmfortable there .

We , the members of the Female Chattist Committee of this Borough , having for our object the attainment of the People's Charter , take this opportunity to call your attention to the present distressed state of tbe country , which is to be attributed to class legislation . The labourers who , by their mutual and dependent exertions , contribute to clothe , feed , and preserve , the whole of Bociety , have been called ignorant and corrupt by a cl ? ss who do not labour , but who live by the produce of the labour of others , ard who make the laws to enable them to dispose of what does not belong to them . But , in despite of every effort to keep the people ignorant , they are rising rapidly in the scale of intelligence and moral dignity , whilst the privileged clashes are satiated with every perveisien of truth , and every corruption of principle ; we therefore hope that you will come forward to aid us in the elorious
struggle for universal liberty . You have long had the power to better your condition , and we now call upon you to exercise it . We know your inftuence , and we congratulate you upon your present prospects . Never did the cause of freedom wear so cheering an nsvxct as at present , we therefore hope that you will wisely conclude to throw yourselves upon your riehts , to gather up your energies , and consolidate your strength , all the circu . nstances thit surround you are auspic ous : the general diffusion of knowledge , and the excellent plan of organisation in the formation of the NatUual Charter Associition , auger well for your future prosperity . We remain , yoors in tbe cause of democracy , Signed in bshalf of the General Committee , Hannah , Smith , Chairwoman . Bradford , Au » ust 16 th , 1341 .

BUfCJLETT . — Magisterial Power . —At the Bingley Petty Sessions , held on the 27 th of July la ? t , a number of individuals were summoned before Wm . Ellis and Frederick Greenwood , Esqs ., for tho recovery of church-rates . The p ^ ons summoned were Wm . Stevenson , a comber , Wm . Foulds , beer-seller , and Stephen Noble , foundryman , aud a number of others , who did not appear . Stevenson was first called upon , to show cause why ho refused to pay the rates . He not giving a satisfactory reason to the magistrates , was ordered to pay the rates he was charged with , and costs . The next that was called upon was Wm . Foulds . Hesta ' to the magistrates that he was charged with arrears
of rates , and stated that he thought the law could not compel him to pay church-rates in arrear , and handed to the magistrates the following case in support of his argument , which was allowed by the Wakefield Bench of Magistrate ? , on Monday , the 22 nd day of June , 1840 , and the defendants were all dismissed : —Dent v . Prudence and Bond . 3 Strange ' s Reports , p . 152 , which was heard by the Bishops of Norwich and Carlisle , assisted by Chief Justice Raymond , Baron Carter , Sir Henry Penrice , and other Doctors , on apneal to the delegates , on the 27 th of December , 1729 , and which decided that no suit can be instituted by churchwardens for a church-rate after their year of office is expired . On the Magistrates seeing the fo < e ^ oinir
Report , they were astonished , thinking thai they had convicted poor Stevenson contrary to law . Tin ; clerks were appealed to . but not one of them could produce Strange ' s Reports ; therefore , ihey decided that the matter should be left for consideration to the day following ; and Stevenson ' s case ¦ was cancelled , on conditions that he was to abide by the decision of FouW ' s case . It is now _ near three weeks since ; and what does other Magistrates and the public think those worshipfnls have took upon themselves to do ? They have actually cancelled the two rates charged in 1838 and 1839 , and , by &c
doing , they have quashed the summons altogether , and have taken upoa themselves to issue a notice to the said parties for tho rate laid in 1840 , without even serving summonses , or anything else ! If this is not taking the law into their own hands , and using it to suit their own purpose , ( and with a vengeance , too . ) I am no jud # e . Distress warrants are expected out every day , and because the poor fellows have not means to follow up their illegal proceeding ? , they are compelled to abide by the conse-Qnences . It is a shame and a disgrace to the West Ridirg to have such men upon the Bench . —Correspondent .
BAENSIiEY . —The Corn Law League at their Dirty Work again . —A public meeting was held this day in the Weaver ' s Committee Room , New Market-street , foe the ostensible purpose of ascertaining the amount of distress in this town , its cause , and remedy , Messrs . Travis , Bycot , Birk ^ , Allen , and a few others were very busy in thn getting up and conducting of tho meeting . Previous to their calling it they went round to such as they thought were favourable to their design ; but whenever they met with one whom they thought wa 6 tinged with the never-dying principles of Chartism , they did not dare to broach ( heir scheme . The meeting was announced for ten o ' clock , a . m Ere the hour arrived the room was crowded to excess .
and tho brave Chartists were found not wanting , they were at their post of duty . The Rev . Wiliiatn Alexander was unanimously called upon to preside . The Rev . Gentleman , in opening the meeting , omitt ? d to state what , where its objecta and purpose ; and thereby threw the meeting into great confusion . A very animated discn ? sion ensued between the gentlemen above-named , and Messrs . Collons , Grimshaw , Moulds , Vallance , Daily , Joines , Lingard , and others of the Chartists . The result was that the meeting was dissolved , and another called for two oclock , p . m ., by the Corn Law League . At che appointed hour the people assembled on the Mayday Green . The Rev . Gentleman who presided at tho previous meeting was again called to tha chair ; and he , without any preliminary remarks , called upon Mr . Frank Mirfield to move the following resolution , which wa 3 seconded by Mr . David
Felmore , and carried nnanimously : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Corn Laws are cruel and oppressive ; but we are fully convinced that the great cause of our manifold grievances is class legislation ; we therefore earnestly request the congregated ministers in conference assembled , to call upon the legislature to immediately adopt the People's Charter as the legitimate right of an insulted , much oppressed , and starving people . " Messrs . Pelmore and Alexander were then appointed to wait upon the committee with the above resolution , as a portion of that party had promised to be in attendance and to receive any resolutions wo bad to send by their delegates , but lo and behold when the deputies attended , not one of the allpowerful mass of subtilty and cunning was to be found .

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

Monday morning ; and being known , bail was taken for his appearance on Tuesday . He had not been at liberty many hours before he assaulted Bury , striking him over the eye , and behaving altogether so ill that ho was given into the custody of the nightly watch , by whom he was locked up for the night .

We understand the water has been drag * ged , but unsuccessfully . The child had on a checked gingham frock , and white pinafore . She has very light hair , and a remarkable puncture from the small pox on her forehead . If she has strayed away it is hoped that the parties into whose hands fhe has come , if this meet them , will recognize the description , and return her to her parents .

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

"THE QUEEN , THE CONVICTS , AND THE CHARTISTS PRISONERS . " [ With great pleasure we take from the Morning Advertiser of Wednesday the following letter may it bave its intended effect 0 TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER . Sir , —Most heartily must all persons of true liberal feeling thank you for having transferred to the columns of the Advertiser tbe spirited animadversions under the abova heading , contained in your contemporary , the Weekly IJispateh , on the monstrous fact , that while "the convicts at Woolwich have f onnd favour in the eyes of her Majesty , " tha prison-gates are still sternly
Locked upon our political captives 1 It appears that ' consequent upon her visit to view the launch of the Trafalgar , " the Queen has been induced "to extend her clemency in a quarter where it must have been least expected ; " notwithstanding this , there is no sign or probability of the rayal "prerogative" of mersy being extended to those who had the greatest right to anticipate it , inasmuch as the sympathy of thousands , including an eqxu . il division of the Legislature itself , ba < 1 already been so forcibly expressed in their behalf . Thus are the honest and Industrious portion of the State taught how much more "favour" than themselves tbe dishoitesl and idle may receive at tbe hands of the " puwcrs th- ' . t be !"
But , t . h ! tbe Chartists are a " deluded" body ol men ! What , if even this be conceded ? No one can on 89 und principles venture to affirm that this alleged " delusion" originated from anything more than a fervid attachment to liberty , an unconquerable ; repugnance to tyranny , and , therefore , from a passion virtuous iu itself , although in the opinion of some carried to an " undue extent . " The Chartist captives , I will maintain , are untainted by really evil desire , while those who havo just found favour in the eyes ef Majesty , wero criminals alike in act and imagination .
Have tbe Queen ' s " constitutional advisers , " in this , their advising , displayed either motives of mercy , justice , or sound policy ? Will it remove " delusion" ( if we admit such to existi from the minds of those who form ihe very sinews of the state , when they perceive " Barabbases" aet froe , in preference to those ( whatever their conduct may have been assumed ) who are to the working population as martyrs—will such an act as this kuit them in firmer allegiance to the Throne itself ? It cannot assuredly .
In No . 1 of the English Chartist Circular there is given " An Abstract of Returns to an order of the House of Commons , on the motion of Mr . Hume , from the several gaols in England and Wales , " comprising every person confined for any offence of apolitical nature from January 1 , 1839 , to June 1 , 1840 , by Which it appears that the number thua imprisoned in England during . that period was 380 , and in Wales 63 * making a total ef 443 . I believe that the following will be found an authentic statement of the number remaining in confinement at the present time . viz . -.
—Lancaster Castle , 1 ; York Castle , 1 ; Devize 3 , 1 ; Northallerton , 7 ; Beverley , 2 ; Wakefield , 6 ; Millbank Penitentiary , 8 ; Brecon , 6 ; total , 32 . Transported , 7 , viz ., Francis Roberts , John Jones , Jeremiah Howult , aad Thomas Aston , from Birmingham ; John Frost , William Jones , and Zephaaiah Williams , from Monmoutn . With tbe hope that the convicts of Woolwich will not alone " find favour in the eyes of her Majesty , " I am , Sir , Yours , obediently , John Cleave . No . I , Shoe-lane , Fleet-street , Aug . 17 , 1841 .
P . S , I perceive by the Advertiser of yesterday , that Wm . Potts , a Chartist prisoner in the Wilts county gaol , has been liberated . Now there 1 b a fact connected with this cose , that to my seeming is particularly unjust . It is this : —Potts , ( a chemist , ) Roberts , ( an attorney at Bath , ) and Carrier , ( a working man *) were convicted upon the aame indictment by the same Jury , and severally sentenced by the same Judge to be imprisoned for two years , viz : from March , 1840 , to March , 1842 . Now , mark the different treatment of these individuals—Mr . Roberts , a near relative ( a cousin , I believe ); of Lord Chief Justice Tindal , was restored to freedom after a brief incarceration , and Mr . Potts but just recently ; both , however , before the term of their sentence had expired . I rejoice at this , because , in my opinion , they ought never to have been imprisoned ; but I do complain most bitterly , that while the attorney and chemist ate released , the poor working man is still immured In solitary confinement " O shame , where is thy blush V j . c .

HUDDEBSPIEXD MaBKET , AUGUST 17 . —This WU much tbe same sort of market day m last week . The demand for low * nd middle-priced woollens still continues ; but the quantity brought to the market k notgreat , as goods are mostly made to order , con . secpently better prices are realised in some sorts Prices are firm in Wools ; and business in the war * I houses is a little bettor , and will improve with the fair weather . York Coaif Mabket , August 14 th . —Boring the week we have had a great deal of rain , which is considered to be very injurious to the growing crops particularly tbe wheat crops , which are likely to ' suffer' muoh . We have a very small supply Of Wheat , but a fair supply of Oats , for which there was a free sale , at an advance of Is . per quarter each . Other articles as before .
Salfobd Cattle Mabkex , Tuesday , Aug . l 8 . - ~ The . show of Beasts to-day was about similar to that of last week , though it could hardly be called great for the season . Of Sheep and Lambs the supply was only middling .. Good Beef in demand , and realizing 6 £ d . to 6 | d . per lb . Middle qualities 6 d per lb Prime Mutton 6 ^ d . -. * to 7 d . per , lb . Middle and * inferior 6 d . to . 6 £ d . ; per lb . Lamb 6 d . to 6 Jd . per lb Very little unsold except very inferior Mutton and " Lamb .

Downs ana fine sorts are still neglected , at prices
disproportionate to the lower qualities of long Wool . We are informed that the sales of Colonial Wool now proceeding in London , are realising previous prices for Combing ; and Clothing Wool is a little dearer . Yarn—The demand for Yarns is very similar to several weeks past . We regret that the unemployed combers , of whom there is a great number , have no hope of employment , and thecondiiion of the poorer classes is very distressing . Piece—We have had a decided improvement in the weather , and we are glad to learn that the same will apply to our market . The merchants appear in better spirits , and more business has been done . Saxony . Cioths , Orleans , and Figures are most in demand ; not plentiful—and late prices maintained .
Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Aug . 14 . —During tho week we have experienced a steady demand for English Flour , and the supplies have been eagerly taken by consumers on arrival at advancing prices . The market has become bare of Oats and Oatmeal , and both these articles have commanded higher rates . 10 , 174 loads of Oatmeal and 5 . 758 quarters of Oats constitute the chief articles of import from Ireland or coastwise , and those foreign aro but to a moderate extent . From Canada 32 , I 6 € barrels of Flour and 5 , 882 quarters of Wheat are reported . The duty on Wiieat has declined to 20 i . 8 d . per quarter , and as 67 a . may be calculated
on as the probable aggregate average next week , Canadian produce wili theu be admissible for ' home consumption at the lowest rate—namely , 6 d . per quarter on Wheat , and 3 £ d . per barrel on Flour . There was not much passing in Wheat at oar market this morning , and we repeat our quotations of this day se ' nsiijht . Superfine qualities of English Floor realised 60 s . per sack , and choice cuts of Oatmeal 31 s . per load , but the business done at theso rates was limited . Canada Flour was offered at 39 s . to 403 . per barrel , to ba delivered free in Liverpool next week . On Oats an advance * of Id . to 2 d . per 4 . 5 lbs . may be noted . English Bsans are Is . per quarter dearer .

There Was a good attendance of buyers and dealers , and stock of good quality in good request at prices a little in advance from last week ' s quotations , but the middling and ordinary qualities of stock of both descriptions was not much sought after ^ and the prices stationary . Beef of the first quality realized fully 6 hi . varying from that down to 5 £ d . per lb . Good Wether Mutton realized about 6 | J . down to 5 d ., but tho latter price wa 3 for very ordinary quality ; and Lambs from 5 £ d . to 6 ^ d . per lb ., sinking the offal .

Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Aug . 16 . — The arrivals of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland since this day Bo ' nnight amount to 4834 qrs . aad 6971 loads respectively ; but with these exceptions the imports of British Grain , &e . are light . From Canada we have received 5792 quartets of Wheat , 35 , 193 barrels of Flour , 925 quarters of Peas ; and from foreign states , 4433 quarters of Wheat , and 840 quarters of Beans . Though we have had a fine day or two , ihe weather has still been unsettled ; in the eariy part of the week wot , cold , aud boisterous : and large transactions have continued to take place in bonded Wheat and Flour at daily advancing prices ; 8 s . 3 d . to 10 s . per 70 lbs . is now the range for the several qualities of Wheat ; 353 . to 353 . 6 d . per barrel for United States Flour , being 9 d . to Is . per bushel , and 2 s . per barrel above the quotations
of this day se ' nnight . Free Wheat must also be noted 4 d . to 6 d . per bushel , Flour Is . to 2 s . per sack and barrel dearer ; of these , however , the millers and dealers have bought cautiously , under the anticipation of the release of Canadian next week , at the lowest poiut of duty . Most other articles of the trade have become enhanced in value . Irish mealiue Oats have brought 3 s . 7 < i . to 33 . 9 d . per 45 Ib 3 ., antt Oatmeal has found speculative buyers at 30 s . to 32 s . per 240 lbs . Barley has become extremely scarce : yesterday , li ^ ht grinding qualities of foreign were sold at j > s . to 5 s . Gd ., fine samples 63 . to 6 s . 3 d . per 60 Ib 3 .

London Sjiitufield Market , Monday , August 16 . —Ths supply of Beasts on 3 ale in to-day ' s market being , comparatively speaking , moderate , andN&e attendance of both metropolitan and provincial dealers numerous , the beef trade was decidedly renovated * but no improvement was noticed in the quotations . The best Scots , about 200 of which came fresh to hand from Scotland , produced 43 . 8 d . per 8 ib , and a good clearance was readily effected . The best old Downs wore scarce , and commanded quite as much money , while the valu 6 of other sheep was well supported . The Lamb trade waa heavy , at drooping currencies . In Calves little was doing , at an abatement of 2 d . per 81 b . Pigs moved off slowly at previous rates .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Aug . 16 . — There was a very moderate supply of Wheat from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , for this day ' s market , with a very limited quantity of Barley , Beans , and Peas from all these counties . The fresh arrivals of Oats consisted of a few cargoes from our own coast and Scotland , and four or five from Ireland . The imports of foreign grain have been to a moderate extent since this day se ' nnigbt , the prevalence of westerly and south westerly winds keeping the vessels cut from the north of Europe . There have been aome very heavy rains during the past week , mostly in the nights ; yesterday and tnis morning the weather has been fair , although not of a settled fippearance . There was a good steady demand for English Wheat at about the rates of Friday , being Is . to 2 s . per qr , above those of this day se ' nnight , but
, owing to the more favourable state of the weather , not many transactions occurred in bonded , although such was fully as dear as last market day , or about 4 s . per qr . higher than on Friday . Amongst the supply this morning appeared several samples of New Wheat from Essex , quality in general coarse aud averaging several pounds per bushel lighter than last year ' s produce , and the condition in some instances also bad . Tbe leading town Millers put up the price of town-made Flour to 70 s . per sack ; ship samples were Is . to 2 s . per sack higher in consequence . Grinding Barley was fully as dear , and in fair request . Malt was held for more money , but Is . advance was paid reluctantly . Bsans were Is . to 2 s . pur qr . dearer , from their scarcity . Peas brought nearly last week ' s currency , but were taken slowly . There was a moderately fair sale for Oats , all sorts bringing full as much money .
