The Christmas Gsneral Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the Borough of Leeds , were held last week , at the Court Honsein Leeds , before Thomas Flowbb Ellis , Juu ., Esquire , Recorder . The following Gentlemen were sworn of
THE GRAND JURY . Mr . Robert Dennis Cn&utrell , architect , Foreman Mr . Thomas Barlow , hatter . Mr . Wm . Bowes , stuff-merchant . Mr . Wm Brown , stuff merchant Mr . Robert Cadman , gentleman . Mr . 3 anjamin Clari , farmer . Mr . John Clark , architect Mr . Taomas Craven , cornf&ctor . Mr . Thomas England , cornfactor . T&t . Win . Graveky , fanner . Mr . Richard Harrison , timber merchant . Mr . Wm . Hunt , gentleman . Mr . Frederick Kiioy . merchant Mr . Wm . Perkin , architect Mr . J&mes Sanderson , cornfactor . Mr . John Scott com / actor . Mr . George Smith , merchant
The Recobdeb , in charging the Grand Jury , aid that although the calendar was rather heavier in point of number than usual , it presented one very gratifying feature , namely , the almost total absence of cases of stealing with anything like riolence . At the lsst sessions there were four or five eases of that nature , but on this occasion , so far as he had perused the depositions , he had not found one . There were only two or three cases -with respect to -which any thing that he could say -would be of use to them . In one or two cases the excuse of drunkenness might be set up . Upon that he eight observe that if there ir&s drankenness s « great that a man did not know what he was abaat , or whether he took bis own property or that of his neighbour , then there was no crime , because there was no
jj »« lice ; bnt the . * degree of drunkenness which merely blinu ' sd a man to ^ impropriety of the act be com mitted , ¦ " ** D 0 excuse , bnfc an aggravation of tbe offence ! Thv Vefore , in no case , unless tbe drunkenness had proceeded to a length which he thought it scarely ever did , of making * mantuiableto distingoiab . between his oirn prop « rty and that of his neighbour , could it be any excuse for the commission of a felony . There -were other csi ^ es in which servants or agents were charged with embezz l ement In such cases it was not ib £ eient to prove thai the accused bad receivad the monty Cid that it had not come to the bands of the master nor i ^* entered in his master ' s books , because 1 it might happen i £ * the servant had forgotten to enter tt « BfJl t hadd
i it ; Ibut the general prOf ™* ^ ^ 1 * - s igned to make tbemasw * behevettat aU was clear brt ^ e * them , when in point C * & <* « had misappro-E ^ " 3 ^ £ S ^^ = » ssra . ^ s . ^^ SS S of-opinion that it was origin ^ taken for tha t ?™ - I poseT and not with a view to appro ^ ' * ^ timately 1 to his own nse , they wonld not send the . °° ™ the Petty Jnry , as the offence would amount C *^ . trespass , and not to a felony . After some observauJT * ! on cases of uttering base coin , the Recorder said , that there was a case of personation under the Municipal Act , the person charged having voted in the name of a person whom he was not The 34 th section of the act enacted that only three questions could be pnt to a burgess at the time of voting ; the first was -whether the
person who tendered a voting paper wae tbe person ¦ whose name -was signed thereto ; and an affirmative answeT to that might be a correct one , although it was not his own writing . The second question was whether the person -who tendered the voting paper was the person enrolled on the burgess roll for th « qualification described at tbe foot of the Toting paper handed in ; and it was probable that the Indictment would turn upon -whether a false answer bad been given to that question . Now if a person of the name of John Styles handed in a voting paper purporting to ee signed by John Styles , and jet -was not the John Styles who was registered , he was guilty of a crime in personating tbe true John Styles , in addition to th « offence created by the statute in giving a false answer . The statute was framed to guard against one person voting for another ; and if a person was ill at home he could not send another person to Tote for him .
THE SMOKE NUISANCE . THB 0 _ rEE 3 V . GEOBGE NOSSET AND GEOBGE NUSSET JBKIOB . Mr . Hall said that this case was an indictment found at tbe last sessions against the defendants for nuisance in not consuming their smeke , and that since the indictment had bees foaad they lad m&de experiments which they hoped would succeed in effecting the object tbe prosecutor bad in view ; and as the prosecutor had no wish to press hardly npon them , but was willing to abanden the prosecution , he had to move that the indictment be discharged . After some conversation between the Recorder and the Learned Counsel , A verdict of Not Guilty was taken and recorded . We understand that the remaining two of the three indictments for smoke nuisance , found at the last sessions , have been traversed till the next sessions .

TEN HOURS FACTORY QUESTION . The Short Time Committee of Bradford , having deemed it desirable , previous to the meeting of Parliament , to give to the body of overlookers in the town and neighbourhood an opportunity of expressing their opinions on the limitation of labour in factories to ten hours per day , invited them to a public meeting , to be held in the large School Room connected with Christ Church , on Thursday evening . At the hour appointed , the meeting being very numerously attended ,
Mr . Balme , Secretary to the Committee , said that it devolved upon him to explain the reason why the Shore Timo Committee hid called the meeting . It was in consequence of frequent representations having been made to the Committee that if the overlookers generally were aware of the proceedings of ii ? Short Time Committee , they would come forward arid assist them in tbe obtainment of a further limitation of the hours of labour for young pergon employed in factories . ( Hear , hear J The Committee ha therefore called the meeting for the purpose of laying . ^ F 6 ifc their P «» ept position in reference to this m ^ Bting ¦ qu * &onf * £ M invited their friends , Mr . v » . Walker anu-J w-. . ' Rand , to deliver au account of the interviews iu *? - had lately had in London with several of her Majesty's Ministers . He would sit down by moving that the Rev . Mr . Morgan preside over the meeting . ( Hear . )
Mr . Charles Walker rose to second the proposition , and to express his gratification at a ^ ain meetiug Mr . Morgan in connexion with the important question which they were assembled to advance . iHear . ) The Reverend Gentleman had long evinced a lively interest in the amelioration of the factory system , aud it was doubtless , pleasing to the company to perceive their venerable friend still at his post of honour and usefulness , endeavouring to promote an object intimately connected with the national peace and prosperity . ( Cheers . ) The Rev . W . M ° KGAN » B . D ., having taken the chair , expressed his readiness to preside over any meeting having in view the improvement of his fellaw beings , but he had particular pleasure in again helping forward a work calculated , as he conceived the Ten Hours' Bill to be , to benefit the working population of Bradford and its neighbourhood .
( . Cheers . ) He would not enter into any argument concerning tbe question , but leave that province to others who were present . He hoped , howevor , that the proceedings of the meeting would be conducted in an orderly manner , and that every opportunity would be given for fair discussion . He was glad to find that the meeting was favoured with the presence ef Mr . W . Rand and Mr . W . Walker , who , eome weeks ago , had sought and obtained interviews with Sir Robert Peel and other members of the Government , regarding the factory question , and as it was the wish of the Short Time Committee that the overlooker ? generally should learn from those gentlemen the particulars of those interviews , he was glad to find that there existed a willingness to communicate the same . He would , therefore , call on one of them to address the meeting . ( Hear . )
Mr . W . Walker tobo and said , that Mr . Wm . Rand and himself had been requested by the Short Time Committee to meet them , and the overlookers engaged in the factories of Bradford , and its neighbourhood , for the purpose of acquainting those so deeply interested in the important question of limiting the hours of factory labour to ten per day , with the result of tbeir recent interview with her Majesty ' s Ministers . He had felt for some time past a conviction that he ought to seek an opportunity of

[ deplarine Ws ^ sentiments fq theGovernment , and he now felt Satisfied ; andthankful that he had been able tor acquit his conscience by discharging the duty . ( Hear . ) paving alluded to the very - grltify ^ idr receptioa ^ whiohSfr Robert Peel and the other memb ^ ra of the Cabinet ga , vo to the Bubject , and the impression left npon his mind that those high fune ^ Uonariea are deswus of doing justice to thejonth * ful factpry ^ potoolation , he proceeded to give his decided , opimon ^ that the questbn which fiad ad long been before the ^ public was at length well underi stood , not only by the employed , bat by their employers aiBO , and that a very general feetink now prevails amongst all classes that the Ten Hours ' : limitation of labour is a just and necessary measure ; well catenlated
to promote the real interests of all connected with faotbriesj and at the same time fraught with advantage to the nation at large . ( Loud cheers . ) He deolared his oonviotion that the ensumgSessionof Parliamentwould seetheqaestioQ brought forward by that truly noble champion of the cause ; the Lord Ashley—< loud cheers ^ armed as his Lordship is with arguments and facts so influential and irresistible as toiead to the satisfactory settlement thereof . ( Cheers . ) He felt delighted to meet upwards of 200 overlookers oh this occasion , who fully understand this question to involve the welfare and happiness of themselves , their families , and the masses of young persons daily working under their care . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Walker also added that when Mr . Wm . Hand and himself had the honour of
waiting upon Sir James Graham they Were interrupted by the announcement of some noble lords being in attendance , which led them to cut short their discussion of the subject , and consequently they had Bought and obtained permission to address a letter to Sir James , going fully into the question , and answering the strongest objections which had been urged against a Ten Hours' enaotment . ( Hoar . ) The Short Time Committee had requested to be allowed to print that letter ; but before consenting to that being done , he would rather leave it with the present intelligent meeting to decide after having heard Us contents . ( Hear , hear . ) ¦¦ Mr . Walker then read the letter , after which it was unanimously resolved that the letter be printed and circulated .
Mr . William Rand said he was very glad to bear his testimony along with Mr . Walker , to the kind and considerate manner in which they had been received by Sir Robett Peel and-others of her Majesty ' s Ministers , with whom they bad interviews on the factory question , but that no words of his could do justice to the deep interest taken in their cause by Lord Ashley , and to the admirable zeal and judgment with which he Was conducting the management of it , and with whom they had bad many gratifying interviews on the subject , he then said that notwithstanding he ( Mr . R . ) had not long taken a prominent part in promoting the object of a Ten Hours' Bill , he had from thevery first most cordially approved of it . ( Cheers . ) He was of opinion that
it was a measure not only of necessity , but one of striot justice , that its tendenoy would , in his judgment , be to increase the number of the employed , and that nothing was so undesirable ,: either for the prosperity or the peace of the country , as to have large masses of the people ^ unemployed , even occasionally . Mr . Rand also said that he felt quite confident that a large portion of the Millowners who formerly viewed with jealousy and alarm such a limitation of labour , were now , if not the advocates of it , at all events less hostile to it , and he believed wouId take no steps to oppose it ; he begged , however , to bo permitted to tell them that it was their bounden duty to give credit to many of their opponents for being influenced by severe
conviction in their former opposition—that this cause was the cause of justice , and that no measure of justice could be retarded in a country like this , under the influence of a free press , provided they used only the weapons of sound argument , in a calm and dispassionate manner , and without imputing motives in any way to their opponents . ( Cheers . ) That the meeting mi ^ ht rest assured that many of tbeir opponents did m their hearts and consciences now approve of it , but that it required a larse amount of moral courage in men publicly to acknowledge that they had been mistaken , and that therefore a public avowal of such a change of
sentiment was hardly to be expected to any extent . ( Hear ^ hear . ) Mr < Rand concluded by say ing , that it was his wish , as no doubt it was the wish of every gentleman near him , to hear any objection that might be entertained towards this limitation to ten hours , in order that it might undergo a full discussion before the meeting committed itself to a petition having that Object in view , but that whatever dissensions of opinion mifiht be entertained as to the effect of the measure , he had not the slightest apprehension of its producing any injurious consequences whatever ; that it was at once a measure of justice and humanity , and that he was perfectly wil ling to leave the oonsequencea to Divine Providence . ( Loud cheers . ) :
Mr . S . Adty expressed his pleasura that the letter to Sir James Graham had been read to the meeting He was sure it would be of service . He considered that it ought to be generally re % d , and , in order that such might be the case , it ought to be printed , and he hoped that the authors of it would cot object to such a course . He proposed that the letter be printed for distribution . ' .. - ' ' ( Hear , hear . ) V An Overlooker seconded the proposition , and it was carried unanimously , Mr . C Walker said that as the meeting appeared to approve strongly of the letter which had been
addressed to Sir James Graham—to such a degree indeed as to deem it worthy of being printed for the public eye , he presumed they agreed cordially with the sentiments which were embodied in it , and would be glad to promote its object . ( Hear ) He was not aware that any mode existed of doing this bo effectually as by making a public profession of similar opinions , and asking the legislature to enact such a regulation as was proposed in the letter which had been read to them . In order that this might be accomplishod , ho had that moment perused a proposition which he would submit to the company , namely- ^ -
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that Ten Hours per day form as long a period as any person under twenty-one years of age should be required to labour in factories , and that a petition be presented to Parliament at the earliest opportunity , praying for 6 uoh a legislative regulation , and that the same be signed by the Chairman in behalf of the meeting . " , ¦ : . ¦" " : ; " : . ; , ¦ - , ; . ¦ ¦ : .. [¦ ¦[ ,. ; . '' - ¦ > ¦ ¦;; ^ :-..-i :- ' : y : i -I : '¦ . ; As this preposition was quite accordant with the sentiments avowed in the letter whioh had been read be had pleasure in offering it to the meeting . ( Cheers . ; r . ¦ : ' r- . ¦ : ; . ;/ ¦ ' . ¦ ¦ ; . . :- ¦ ¦ : ' ^ : " .. ¦ ^ :
Mr . Spenceb rose to second the resolution , and said that if any ministers of the Gospel , or other persons required " evidence" that a Ten Hours' Bill is needed , they should turn out into the streets at half-past five in the morning , and see the " Uving volumes" ( cheers ) , passing along to their labour at that early period of the morning , and then again at half-past seven or eight in the evening witness their departure from the mill ; and they could not need any further lesson to teach them that this system is
unjust and unnatural . This country boasted of paying high consideration to the female sex , and it Was not unusual to measure the degree of national civilization by this test . ( Hear . ) But assuredly the factory districts must admit their being comparatirly uncivilised and barbarous when such destruction of female character and happiness were permitted to continue as is now inflicted by the long hours of factory labour . ( Hear , hear . ) He recommended them to be united , and not to rest until the Ten Hours ' Bill should be the law of the land . ( Cheers V
Mr . C . Walker again rose and said that it was important that no difference of opinion should exist in reference either to the sentiments or phraseology of the petition which the meeting had determined to adart ^ to Parliament . He was anxious that so numerous au ^ intelligent a . company should have submitted to theiH the entire address which it was proposed to transmit to the legislative assembly . ( Hear . ) He said that the main object of their solioitude was fully developed in the address which he had read to them . That object was the obtainment of a legislative decree , that no person under twentyone years of age should be allowed to work in any factory more than ten hours per day . ( Hear , hear . ) He congratulated the Chairman that so numerous a company should be found assfmbled in that room to express so reasonable and just a request . It was
evident that the work which they baa mot to promote was growing iii the estimation of an intelligent community . Every ppportunity had been rendered on that occasion for discussing any difficulties that might exist , in reference to a Ten Hours' Bill , but happily they all appeared converted to its favour , and were willing to remedy as much as possible their former snpiiiC'iess . ( Hear . ) If any persons were qualified to judge correotly on the question at issue , surely it was right to stliribute that ability to the present company . Nearly all of them ^ weie day after day engaged in factory pursuit . They understood thoroughly all its features and interests , and although few comparatively bad previously engaged in the conflict , yet this evening they bad met to do _ their duty by resolving to aid , as far "' as ' . pob'Sbi ?; * O- the obtainment of the Ten Hours' Bill . ( Hear , hew ) He begged to propose the adoption of the petition . ( Cheers : ) : ' - ¦ . ¦; -. ¦ . ¦' _ . , - . '• ; , . . ¦ ¦ : ¦ . -. . . ; . " . ; . . / . ¦
The Secretary then proposed the following resolutions , which were approved unanimously : — 1 st . That petitions be immediately got up to the House of Commons from the various townships aiaa villages in this neighbourhood . : 2 nd . * That a petition be got up from the Mast « r Spinners and Manufacturers of the West Riding of this County . ¦ \ ''/ -- / r -. - ; - ' ¦¦¦¦ : ' : ' ' ¦ : ' - -. ¦ ¦ v- ' - ' .:: \ - ' ' 3 rd . " That a petition ^ be got up from the Ministers of the Go 3 pel resident in the- West Riding ; and that Mr . Mark Crabtree be appointed to { wait upon them to solicit their interest . " ' ' .::. ;
Mr . Joseph Kitchen then rose , and expressed his great satisfaction , in moving a vote of thanks to Mr . Morgan , the Chairman . He also alluded to the

propriety of taking a firm stand upon the uniform Ton Hours ' period of labour , as the most practical and simple regulation of factory employmeat . He meant that which Mr .

THE CHARTISTS . NORWICH QUARTER SESSIONS , Jan . 4 . ( Before ¦¦ Mr , J . Jeremy B . ecotder . ) ; Thomas Hewett appeared to answer to an indictment for a misdemeanour , having , with other evildisposed persons , carrying various sorts of arms , unlawfully assembled to disturb the peace , on the 16 ih of November last , at Cutton New Church , and then and there made a noise , riot , and disturbance , for the space of an hoar or more . He was further indicted for having , on the same day , a second
time , with other evil-disposed persons , unlawfully assembled , and thereby created a disturbance during the ceremony of consecration at Catton New Church ; ' ¦ .:.. . ¦ ; ¦ .. - . ,:. .- ¦" : ¦ •;¦ , •; ¦ ¦ ¦ " - :- ^ \ <¦' . ' :- - ¦ :. ; . ' :- - - : . ' i ' > . The case excited great interest , the court being completely crowded during the whole time of the trial . Many of the magistrates were present . Mr , Evans appeared for the prosecution . Hewett , who conducted his own case , objected to Mr . Nurse being sworn on the jury , aUegung that he was prejudiced against the Chartists . Mr . Evans called the following witnesses : —
Robert Coleman deposed—I am one of the police of this city . Was ordered to attend the church at New Cattonvon the 16 th : of Nov ., incase there should be a breach of tho peace . I was at the station-house about a . quarter before ten o ' clock . I heard a band of ojusio , and I went into the Market-place , and there I saw a band of music and several banners . Hewett was nearly in front . The procession went across the market arid up White Liou-street . The church is situate by the side of the road to Catton . After I got to the churchyard , about half-past ten o ' clock , I was stationed at the gate of the church . I saw some persons with a band coming towards the church . ' I saw Hewett close by the church gates ; there were about 300 persons assembled : they were
conducting themselves in a very tumultuous manner . People were not able to get up to the ckurch yard . I saw Hewett very active and prominent in those attempts . When the Bishop ' s carriage came it could not be driven up to the gate ; there was a great deal of hooting and different expressions used , directed against the Bishop . After the carriage came up , the persons in it obtained entrance into the church by sheer force . The Mayor then personally assisted the Bishop , and succeeded in obtaining admission ; About half , an hour after the gate ; was broken , the conduct of the mob was such as to terrify the people attending the service . After the bishop had entered the church some of the oarties went away towards Norwich . Just at the
time that the bishop came Out of the church the band and banners returned ; they went on the Catton side ofthe church ; I was in the churchyard . The bishop went round the churchyard , and then Hewett took a banner and strcuk it against the railings . The band was playing and the people were shouting . I saw Hewett take a banver and plant it against the railingN . I suspose the string came loose and the banner fell from the pole . Hewett came and held it over the ground . I heard him say something , but do wot recollect the words . The Mayor then took Hewett iato custody . The
Chartists behaved in a riotous manner , and attempted to rescue him . He was put into a carriage and conveyed to the station-house ; ho put his head out of the window and shouted " Hurrah for thoChar ^ lists ; three cheers for Feargus O'Connor . " The whole of the force with tli « superintendent went down to Catton . We were stationed in various parts to preserve the peace . Wbenwe Went down the church-gates were not locked ; the church doors were shut . The Mayor came down a very little time after we got there . : There was no crowd before the band of music came up . The bishop ' s carriage came up alone .
Superintendent Yarrington examined . —I wa 3 ordered by the Mayor and magistrates to attend at the new church at Catton , because a riot ; was apprehended . I arfived there about half-past ten . 1 am ablo to speak to Hewett the defendant being , there , who headed a procession with bands and banners . Hewett and a number of others came up and asked for admission . A rush ensued , and an attempt to force open the gate , which was broken . I saw Hewett , who called out" Go it , my boys , " or words to that effect ; ho was foremost amongst those who made the crush . The police succeeded in preventing them from getting in . In a quarter of an hour the Bishop ' s carriage came , and then there was a great noise and many bad expressions . The carriage could not drive up to the gate . With the assistance of the magistrates and police the Bishop was conduoted into the churchyard ; there were more than 100 persons . Hewett was amongst those who were making
the rush . After the church was consecrated the bishop came out to consecrate the churchyard ; then the same band came up with the flags ; they came up playing "God Save the Queen , " and halted at the corner . After the bishop had gone round the churchyard he went into the church porch to read the service of consecration ; the band then played the old hundred th psalm ; the people were arraying the banners on the church rails . 1 saw Hewett plant a banner myself : the Mayor asked me to go with him and apprehend him . We did so , and the people endeavoured to rescue hiin ; I saw th » defendant in the stationhouse afterwards . He considered it ad——d odd thing that he could not hire a band and have it play without our interference , and that we had no fight to stop his men on the highway . Hewett and the people with him . acted together : their conduct was such as to alarm persons who might wish to attend the ceremony ;
Cross-examined by Hewett . — -You were in front of the band , and at the head of the procession . There were several banners ; I told you that you could not come in . The Mayor said you might come in after the consecration . I saw you standing there twenty minutes or half an hour after I told you that you could not come in . You said the Bishop should not go in unless you were admitted ; the Bishop came up in a , quarter of an hour after . I never saw Buch a rush as that against a church-gate . I saw no stones thrown at him ; there were stones thrown . You did not resist being taken into custody . I heard you personally insult many persons . I cannot say who they were : they were clergymen . It is not iny business to say why you were not admitted . There was a rush on the coach when you were taken .
Sergeant Copeman stated—I attended at New Catton Church on the 16 lh of November last . I was there when the Bishop was consecrating the churchyard . After be had been round the churchyard he went to the church , and Hewett and others Said , "Now we'll go and consecrate it . " Hewett had a large banner with the inscription of the Bishops ' and others'salaries ; Hewett was then taken into custody . Some ladies came up in a carriage , and , observing the crowd , were alarmed ^ Witaess wen t Up and said he thought he could make way for them , but ; they went away . Ten minutes after the Bishop came up . Respectable people could not get into the church without the assistance of the police . ' ' ¦' : ., ' : :. ; ' : ¦ r - ' . ¦ ¦¦ v . ;" " - ' ¦' .,. - - " . ' V : ¦ ¦/ " . ' . By Hewett—You said . "Go it , my boys /' when the rush was made to force tho gate .
The Court ( to Hewett . )—You said you were going to call witnesses ; what are you going to prove ? Hewitt .- —I want to prove that no alarm was created at Catton * Mr . Kitson , respecting this , deposed—I was near the Church gate waiting the arrival of the Bishop ; the people were conducting theinaelves in a ; very riotous manner . When the carriage came up there was the same noise and tumult and pushing ; the Bishop had some difficalty in getting into the churchyard . When I entered the church the seats were nearly filled . Persons were asked to sit down at the steps of the altar . During the reading of the service the congregation rose up in alarm in consequence of the door being suddenly opened , and the service was for a few minutes stopped . The proceedings were such as to terrify the people . It was quite impossible for females to obtain admission into the church . ; -
By Hewitt . —The band was not playing when the congregation rose . ¦¦ ; This was the case for the prosecution . Hewett , in defenoe , eaid , he could not see that there Was any charge made out against him , and cited the act relative to riots . The Learned Recorder stated , that any proceedings which had & tendency to riot . were unlawful , and in gumming up explained the difference between a riot and a r ^ t—that where persons tumultously assemble together for the purpose of doiug ; an unlawful act , and such assembling is accompanied with some cirpumstanoes of actual violence or is calculated to inspire people with terror , and if they prooeed to execute any unlawful purpose , then it is a riot ; but if they do not proceed to execute any unlawful purpose , then it is a rout . The Jury consulted for some time , and returned & verdict Of Not Guilty of a riet , but Guilty of a rout .
The Learned Recorder then , after remarking that the jury had found Howett guilty ^ of the minor offence only ; and condemning such proceedings as took place at Cattonv sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months , and to find two sureties after that time of £ 50 each , and be himself bound over in the sum ef £ 100 , for his good behaviour for twelve months . : ' "'; - ' ^ " ¦ . ¦' ....

The market , how * ever , is tolerably steady , both in goods and yarn , at a trifling advance upon the extreme low rates current about a month a ^ o . In reference to a statement , which appeared in the Guardian of

Liverpool Corn Makket , Jan . 11 . —At a deblind of Id to 2 d per ; bu 8 hel from the rates of last Tueg . day ,- there was this morning more disposition amongst the local millers to purchase Wheat , and at that reduction a fair retail business was transacted . Oats and Oatmeal were held without change in value ,- but barrel Flour was rather easier to buy , and in these articles there was little done . Hull Corn Market , Toesday , Jaw . llTH .- ^ -Fer seyerai days back the weather has been frosty , which still continues ; this will a good deal improve the condition of English Wheat , and render the demand for liberated foreign still less ( if possible ) than has been latterly experienced . There has , during the
past week , been so little doing in any article of grain or seed , that quotations for any of them cannot bo altered from those noted : last week . Linseed Cake and Rape Cake are dull , and but little doing in either . Bones unaltered in value , but the demand slack . To-day ' s market is well supplied with farmer ' s Wheat ; the condition improved , bat the demand confined to the mere retail demand of the town and neighbouring millers , who select the best samples to supply their own immediate Wants , it a decline of Is per quarter ; for secondary qualities little can be done , even by submitting to 2 s per quarter less than last week ; no inquiry for old foreign , and prices nominal . Barley slow sale , at ls per quarter decline ,
on all qualities . Oats are offering plentifully , and meet a dull sale at late prices . Beans and Peas appear for the moment not wanted . Manchester Corn Market , Fbiday , " ' Jan . 7 . At our market this morning there was a fair attendance of the tradej but few transactions were reported .

means heavily , supplied with beasts , the general quality of which was very superior . Although the weather was favourable Tto slaughtering , and the attendance of buyers numerous , the beef trade was rather dull , at an abatement of 2 d . per 8 1 b , yet a clearance was easily effected . Only 90 Scots and 130 sheep dune ^ fresh to hand ftom , Sco tland ; The numbers of sheep were on the increase , owing to which the mutton trade was dull , and the quotations declined Id . per 8 lb . We were fairly supplied with calves , which moved of slowly at last week's quotations . Neat small porkers sold freely , but in other kinds of pigs exceedingly little was passing .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Jandaby 10 . —The quantity of Wheat on sale this morning from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk was limited , and there was only a moderate fresh supply of Barley , Beans , and Peas . from these counties , with scarcely any addition to the arrival of Oats since Friday , either from our own coast , Scotland , or Ireland . The impoits of foreign Grain have been only to a trifling extent since this day se ' nnight . The weather has been cold and frosty for several days past , and has now a wintry aspect , with , however , yet no fa ll of snow in and near the metropolis , though this has been threatened , and still appears likely to be the case . Tho trade for Wheat continues to be very dull , notwithstanding the shortness in the English supply , millers complaining of their sales of flour , combined with a determination to keep their stocks low
until the ; plan of the new Corn Law has been announced in Parliament . The prices of new Wheat were generally Is . per quarter lower , with scarcely any variation in ihe value of foreign , and only a moderate extent of business transacted therein . Ship Flour was offered on lower terms , and met a limited demand . Select maltiag Barley was without alteration in value , but secondary sorts were again somewhat cheaper . New Malt continues to be pressed on the market , and being generally inferior , it is ia the most limited dtmand , at Is . to 2 * per quarter decline , but in good new and all old there was no material change . Beans were aken slowly , oh much the same terms , whilst Peas have declined Is . per quarter again for all sorts . There was a fair demand tor Oats , good qualities commanding last Monday ' s prices ; and other sorts were saken more freely by the large dealers than of late .
