Horrid Death . —An inquest was hel ' i on Tuesday ! a-i by Mr . GnE-. b Jones , coroner ( or the county of Merioneth , on the body of John Rober ' . s , lime-burner to Mr . Edward Owen , of Garthynh . v . ed , when it appeared lhat John Jone = ; bad on the morning of Monday , the 24 th ult ., been in comr . any with the deceased , drawing lime from the ki' n at " Garthissf , and that on his return from break / ast he found John Roberts in the centre of the ki ' . q , plunged up to his knees in the burning lime . ¥ ( e was in an upright position , with his hands raise l above his head . The body appeared a complete bu rniug mass ; and on a cha \ n being passed round t > , c trunk , it was dragged out , charred to a cinder . / . large iron bar , used for poking the lime from the > . iln , was resting near the deceased , but there was n <> evidence to Bh » w how he had fallen into the kil- j . Verdict— " Accidental death . " The deceased was sixty years of age , but had not long taken to t' ce lime business . —Carnarvon Herald .
Dreadful Explo ? iox . —About six o ' clock on Saturday evening . a < readful explosion of gas took place in Bell-street , Birmingham , near the Market Hall , and conseqwe ntly in the most bustling part of the town . The damage was confined to s small shop , which wa / j levelled with the ground . The occupier of the r remises , who is a tailor , is named Skiuner . At tr «> moment the explosion took place he was eug ^ eU in his business , ana was buried in the ruin ? , from which he was afterwards rescued by * be polioarcen , in a state of great exhaustion , and
with several fearful bruises about his head and perfon , which render it very doubtful whether he will hereafter recover ; indeed , but little hope is given of his life . A boy , of the name of Daniel Lawley , was passing at the tisar , and received a severe- blow upon his hea-d and neck . The explosion was caused by tbo bursting of a gas-pipe in the middle of the street . The gas found its way under ground for several yards , and ultimately entered the shop through a fissure in the floor ; the moment that a light waa introduced it caused combustion . The furniture is much burnt and injured .
Eastbourne . —Wreck . —In the very heavy gain on Tuesday afternoon , about five o ' clock , a large barque of 500 tens burden , came ashore on the *• Boulder Bank , " between Beachy Head and this place . She , however , lifted over the bank and grounded jubt opposite the Sea-houses . Happily the hands , consisting of five men and two boys , were saved . It appears that the Jane L ^ wden sail ng from Mirauiichi fell iu with the unfortunate vessel , ( the Watts of Plymouth , with timber from Quebec ) iu the middle of the western oceau ( long ' 68 h by chronometer ) water lotrged , and ihe crew on the point of abur . doning her , and taking refuge on board a brie which had hoveto for the purpose of rendering assistance . This they did ; but the first mate of the Jane Lowden having examined the deserted
ship and found that , notwithstanding there was a great quantity of water in the hoid , she was not altogether unmanageable , volunteered with the assistance ot ' iLc crew above enumerated , though tbe crigiaal crew was nineteen in number , to attempt to bring her into port ; which bold attempt , after much distress from .-hort provisions and the dangerous state of ihe craf :, they had so nearly accomplished as to hare got her into the Channel , when bciug overtaken by tbo late gale , sho could not be get to aiiaWer thr h < lm , and was run ashore as above stated . The mate , Richard Coaker , and his lutJo crew were much exhausted when taken off the wreck . Thtre can be no doubt that they will—as they ought to do —meet a fitting reward for their gallant and intrepid conduct iu attempting such an exploit . — Sussex Advertizer .

"A memorial to the Secretary of State , Sir James Graham , praying him to cause an iuvefti ^ ation into the trca : nit : nt of prisoners confined iu , and the discipliuc of Northlrach House of Correction , and the other prisons of the county , was si ^ ne-d by all the jurors , and forwarded to the Home Office .

OLDHAM . —A Concert . —On Monday last , the pupils of Mr . Joseph Winterbottom gave a- public concert , to a large and crowded audience , in the Lyceum Class Room . The pieces were of a firstrate character . The pupils acquitted themselves in a mar . ner highly creditable to their teacher . LEEDS . —Thief and Receiver . —On Tuesday laot , a mechanic narccd John Holmes , who has been for some time in the employ of Messrs . Homer , Dockray , and Co ., machine makers , in Meadow-lane , was brought , up et the CouTt House , on a charge of having stolen a quantity of working tools , materials , & . C ., the property of his employers . The prosecutors have cf late mis « ed considerable property from their premises , without being able to trace how it went , but not without some suspicion attaching to the prisoner . On Monday , he was seen to knock the handles off two files , and to secrete the latter in a place conveuient for carrying away ; in this ,
however , he dirf not succeed , in conEcquence of being closely watched , but so strang - was his conduct , that policeman Thompson was pent for , and he was given into custody . On Mr . Horner appearing at the police cfSce , he was shown a very large quantity of brass and iron ma'erials , which had been taken by the police from Robert Wilkinson , a wholesale dealer in rags , & . c , in the Calls , who stated tba . t he had bought them at different time ? , but did net know from whom—a man with a velvet jacket wa ? the best description he could giro . The whole , or nearly the whole of this property , was identified by Mr . Horner as tha property of himself and partners , and which had been stolen from their premise ? . Wilkinson , when shown the prisoner , could not say whether it was he that he bought the property of or not ; the magistrates , therefore , ordered him into eustody , and the charge of" receiving" was preferred againsthim . Both prisoners were committed for trial at the sessions this week .
Esibfzzling Monet' —On Tuesday last , a young man named Edward Rinder , was charged before the borough magistrates , with Laving embezzled a sum of £ 2 10 s ., the property of Mr . Rtnton , a farmer and milk man , of Meanwood . The offence was committed in the month of January , 1841 , at which time the prisoner was in Mr . Renton ' s emp'a-y , and went rouud to his customers with milk . Tho money was paid to him in one Bum , by Mrs . Ripley , wife of Mr . John Ripley , one of ths masters of the free grammar Echool , to whom he reprefented that he had been sext by his master to r-ecervethe same ; and , alter having obtained it , he absconded , and had not Ein ; e been heard of . The msgisirates committed the prisoner for trial at the nex-t sessions .
Charge op Pocket Picking . —On Saturday last , two lads named Thomas Reynard and Thomas Brewer , were brought up at the Court House on a charge . of having abstracted a sum of money from the pocket ot Mr . Brown . Brown stated , that on Friday evening , he was landing in the street talking with ifloihfer man , when two lads passed him , and one of them , the prisoner Reynard , ran against him as if by accident , but he directly missed his money ; he could not swear that Brewer was the other lad , ihoogh be was sure as to the identity of Reynard : nor could it be proved by any one , that the two had been seen together at all , though they were known to be companions . Brewer was consequently discharged , and Reynard was sent to Wakeh ' ali for two months .
Beeshocse Information . —On Monday last , Mr . J , Brown , of the Punch Bowl Beerhouse , at Bceston , was BumEioned before tha magistrates to answer a charge of suffering card playing in his house , contrary to the terms of the license . Tha information was kid by the night police . It was his first offence , and there was no previous complaint against his house , which , it was admitted , hid always been respectably conducted ; he was therefore discharged en payment of the costs only .

Stealing Lead . —On Monday last , four young lads , who could scarcely bo v-een above the side of the dock , were brought up at the Court House , on a charge of having stolen a quantity of lead , from a spout on the premises of Mr . Wilson , in School Close . The charge was preny clear against them all , and with the consent of their parents , they were flogged and discharged . Their names are George Day , Samuel Colley , Henry Colley , and Henry Dowess . Stealing a Cap . —On Saturday last , one of the
numeToss tribe ot juvenile thieves , with which the town is infeBted , was brought up at the Cour * House , on a charge ef having stolen a cloth cap , the property of Mr . Potter , in Kirkgate . He was taken by a policeman , with the cap in his breast , and which he said he had bought of another boy for ninepence , but it would not fit him at all , nor did his srory bear any marks of probability about it , as it had only been stolen a short time , and he was apprehended not far from Mr . Potter ' s fchop . He was sent to W ' akefield for a month .
The late Wool Robbery at Armlet . —We stated last week that the workshops of Mr . Whiteley , of Armley , had been broken into , and a quantity of black stubbing and white wool stolen . On Friday last , from information obtained by Inspector Child , he obtained a search warrant , and went to the house of Mr . Thomas Grimshaw , a small manufacturer of Fareley , where he found both wool and blubbing corresponding in weight and quality with that stolen , Mr . Grimshaw said he had bought it , but to give him an opportunity of proving this , he was taken before a West Riding magistrate at Leeds on Saturday , on
a charge of embezzlement under tho worsted act ; this charge , however , was dismissed by the bench , and Child then set about to detect the thieveB , if possible . He succeeded in apprehending three young men , whose- names are Broadbeut , Wilson , and Wade , who were brought before our Leeds magistrates on Tuesday , but from Child not being able to get his witnesses ready , they were remanded until Wednesday , when they were committed for trial . A charge was also preferred against Grimehaw for having received the property , and he was committed for trial with the others . Up to last evening their trials had not come on .
Strange and Serious Accident . —A very singular and serious accident occurred in this town on Saturday forenoon . A young lad named James Anderson , whose parents reside at tho Medical School , was roturniug irom au errand on which he had been sent by his master ( Mr . Harrison , solicitor ) , along Commercial-street , and whilst passing the Leeds library a portion of tho " volute" from the capital of one of the pilasters iu front of that building , became detached , and fell upon his head , producing concussion of the brain ; under which he has since continued without the elithteBt hope of his recovery . He w . ts taken up and removed to the infirmary , but was afterwards taken home , The Btone Ec-ems to have struck the right side of his head , but there is r . o external injury to denote it , the whole of his ri < ht side , however , appears to be
affected by it , for he has not since moved his right arm , and only slightly the leg . We have not heard ot any satisfactory statement of the cause of the stone falling . I ; appears to be of a very porous nature , and if the capitals had become cracked l ' rora any cause , the probability is that tho rather sudden change of weather had finished the work of demolition . The capitals of the other pilasters were examined without delay , and we perceive that most oi the volutes have been removed ; it would appear , therefore , as if the stone had suffered complete decay . Every means have been resorted to to relieve the sufferer , but without effect ; he died on Wednesday morning , and au inquest was held before John Blackburn , Esq . the same evening , at which the above facts wrro deposed to , and it was phown that the piece of stone weighed from 30 to 40 lbs . A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned .
HUDDERSFIELD . —On Tuesday last a whole bast was brought from the Marsh , considered unwhoiosocic meat , and burnt in the shambles by order of the authorities , to the great annoyance of the snopkeepers in that locality . The stench was horrid . A Child Burnt . —On Wednesday morning last , between eight and nine o ' clock , tho inhabitants of King-street were thrown into great alarm by the following circumstance . A little girl about eleven years of age was left alone in her father's shop , ( Mr . Fawcitt , tinman , ) in which was a stove , the door of which ehe threw open . Tho flames burst from the stove with such force as to set fire to the girl ' s clothes ; in which state she ran into tho street , when she was immediafeJy enveloped in flames . She was soon overtaken , and the fire subdued , but not without injuring the child very much .
BRADFORD . —On Tuesday evening , the sons of Crispin held their anniversary at the house of Mr . Ellis , Boy aud Barrel , Westgate . An excellent supper was provided , which did credit to the landlord , and after the cloth was removed , Mr . Lockwood was called to the chair . Several toasts were drank and responded to . Mr . Smyth distributed a number of tracts of " What is a Chartist 1 " Several professional singers entertained the company to a late hour . The whole reflected high praise on Mr . Ellis , the worthy landlord .
Found Dead . —On Friday , a tailor . named Thomas Smith , of Thornton , was found , ly a person travelliug on the road in that township , laid upon his side , and apparently dead ; ho tried to arouse him , but he only sobbed twice , and then expired . An inquest was held the same evening before G . Dyson , Esq . and a verdict of " Died through exposure to the weather , " was returued , he having no marks of violence upon him . On Friday last , a waggoner in the employ of Mr . Butternorth , Keigfcley , wa 3 returning home from Bradford market with his team , and on arriving at Cottingly Bridge , he appears to have fallen , as ho was found laid upon the road quite dead , the wheel having passed over his head .

We hivvo since ascertained that this most courteou ? and considerate depredator had the grace io ' puy the carriage oj the parcel , by rsil I It was directed to Mr .

Departure of the Great Western . —This nobio steam-ship left her moorings in tho King'sroad , Bristol , at twenty iijinutes before three o'clock , p . m ., on Saturday last .

The Scuth America , brings twenty-five cabin passeDgere , and her stetrago is quite full of returned emigrants . The news , which is only one day later , is net important . Recovery of an Infant , after being Lost Eleven Months . —Eleven months ago , a nurse-girl was playing in Chester-street , Hulme , with a child in her aims about nine mouths old , when a woman came to her , and promised her a penny , if ehe would go an errand for her to a shop , and in tho meantime she offered to bold the baby . The girl gave the
child to the woman , and went into the shop ; but , ' on her return , both woman and child had disappeared . Of course , the parents of the child , Mr . and Mrs . J . Shore , shopkeepers , Flora-street , Hulme , made every inquiry , and offered Towards , but without being able to learn anything of their lost child , which , however , was found again on Friday morning last , under the following circumstances : —Mr . Shore has some relations in Stockport , aud , they are aqoaiuted with a young woman , who is an inmate of the Chorlton Lnion Wort house , in Stratford New Road . This woman was at Stockport , a few days ago ; and , while drinking tea with Shore ' s relations , she mentioned that she was employed in the workhouse to take care of a child rather more than a year and a half ola , who was called Viary Penny , from the circumstance , as she understood , than she had been sold for a penny . This excited the curiosity
of her hearers and on further inquiry they were led to believe that the cniid might , probably , h * that of Mr . Shore . One of the parties accordngly came over to Manchester , aDd mentioned tho circumstance to him , and application was made at the Workhcuse for ! information relative to the child . At first this application waB unsuccessful . Mr . faflott said , that the story was altogether improbathe , and he could find no entry of any such child on the book ; but the parents were not to be thus satisned , and , on a third application , the woman who had the car . of the child was called and examined u > C i " She P roduced the child , aud told what she knew of its hiring been brought to the ZZS , T ° \ t' althou * « o was no entry in the workhouse books , there could be no quebtion that the child was ; Mr . Shore ' s ; a fact which was placed beyond a doubt by a mark on its left arm' anrfth «
production ot the clothes in which it was brought to the house . The pen-on who broHght the child to the workhouse stated that it had been left with a girl in tolS ^^ i , ' - £ WOmaD Wh 0 g ^ her a ienny to hold it , whi . e Ehe went to a Bhop to make some purcnases . The girl waited two hours in the street but the woman never returned , and she then took it borne , and was scolded by her mother for taking ctarge of it . Ihe most extraordinary part of the affair is , that the child should have been for eleven monthg not more than 400 yards from ita own home , without its parents being discovered . —Manchester Guardian .

Singular Case . —The following novel case occurred on Thursday last at the Limerick quarter sessions : —Edmund Roche and Catherine Roche were called by the clerk of the peace to take their trial for larceny of butter . On being arraigned , it was found that they were both dumb ; the clerk of tho peace then ( according to law ) empannelled a jury , to try if they were mutes by the visitation of God , or otherwise . The jury found that they were so by the visitation of God . It was then requisite to have an interpreter who could swear that he understood the signs of the mutes , and that the mutes understood him , but the Crown not being aware of the circumstance , were unprepared with such an official , and the trial wa 6 postponed to next sessions .

Finsbury . —At a well attended meeting of the Chartists of tais placo on Monday evening last , called for the purpose of considering the proper steps which they ought to take with respect to the Complete Suffrage : movement , the following resolution was carried with but two dissentient ? , being supported by Messrs . Knight , Watts , Bently and others . " That we , the Chartists of Finsbury , being of opinion that a great , unanimous and determined concentration of the energies of all classes of reformers advocating our principles , can alone effectually stem the torrent of persecution , which has swept away in its devastating career many of our best and boldest leaders , and still overhangs with threatening aspect the heads of thoso who aV . ro to risa and defend the unenfranchised
serfs of Britain , and in order to effect this union , we do ( though determined never to abate one jot of the Charter , ) authorise an address to be prepared by the members of the Council , in the name of all present , stating , that while wo are willing to cooperate with the Complete Suffrage Association on the broad ground of principle , we do not think the phut of delegation laid down in the address of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Association , Bach as will provide a full , free , and fair representation of the opinions of the people , for the one great reason , that one half the delegates having to be chosen by the electors only , will be giving to each one elector tho same influence as every seven or eight nno-eleetors will possess , thus at once destroying the equality of representation .

ADDRESS OF THE CARVERS AND GILDERS' LOCALITY . Brother Democrats * —This locality having been recently formed , and this being the first subscription we have been enabled to make , to the great cause of Political Reform , we feel that some apology is necessary to our brother Democrats on entering at this protracted period , into the great contest of Chaitism . And also an address to all classes , explanatory of ihe motives that stimulated us at this time to take our stand under the banner of reform .
Although this locality has only been established at the present time , previous attempts were made by old adherents of the democratic cause , to introduce the important question of politics , as a trade measure ; but , having met with opposition from nume :-ous individuals , this attempt was abandoned , and a few who j ' elt friendly to the cause , formed themselves into a locality of the National Charter Association , hoping to increase our members , as our principles beeomo known , and as the necessity for ( heir adoption appears evident . Accordingly , a
Untitled Article
meeting was called , and seven took ^ out cards of membership on our first night of meeting , with four who were previously members of another locality , making eleven ; since then we have continued to meet once a week , adding to our number each night ; thus we hope to accomplish by degrees what we could not do all at once . It mast be consolatory to the feelings of those who have long laboured in the cause , to learn , that as Chartism grows in age , it grows in Btrength . As to th 6 motives which led us to take up this question , we felt convinced , as every reflecting mind must feel convinced , that the possession of property is a false criterion of political rights . And , though the working classes of this country have for ages
been defrauded of their just right to the Suffrage , we feel assured that antiquity , however remote , does not legalise the fraud . But what gave a greater impulse to this step was the late barbarous and unconstitutional proceedings against the right of pub ' lie meeting , and against the leaders of the people , those worthy patriots who have come forward to enlighten the people , to rouse them from their apathy , and burst those fetters that have long enthralled them . We sympathise with their wrongs , and feel it our duty to come forward and cheer them with our approbation , and give our mite towards the support of their suffering families . When we take a retrospective survey of society for the last half century , we find that the discoveries '
of scientific men , the adaptation of machinery , and improved systems in our manufactures , have all tended to increase the productive power of this country , and add to the luxuries and refinements of the higher and middle classes , —and when we ask the important question , —have the working classes advanced in the pame ratio , in refinement , in morality , and in affluence ? No ! is the simultaneous reply of the toiling millions . We are year after year sinking deeper and deeper in degradation , in poverty , and in crime , doomed to a life of penury and toil ; we waste our strength , for a scanty physical existence , and sink into a premature grave , and that , while our granaries are teeming with plenty , our warehouses loaded v / ith superabundance ,
and our artisans and labourers wandering the streets for want of employment . When we contrast the woeful condition of the working classes with that of the higher orders—when we witness the enormous masses of wealth which many of them possess , and the manner in whioh it is squandered on prostitutes ani favourites , and every vice a Vitiated imagination can conceive—we can come to no other conclusion , than the great source of those enormities is class legislation , which has deranged the balance of justice , by giving all power and patronage to an insignificant minority of the nation , while it has robbed the great majority of their just aud sacred rights .
It has been alleged of . Chartists , that they are destruotionists ; that they wish to demolish the institutions of the country ; that they want a division of property , and that they are too ignorant to entrust with the Suffrage . Let us glance at those assertions . It is a scandalous libel on the Chartists , to say that they wish to destroy any useful institution *; it is the desire of Chartists to remodel the fundu ? mental errors of our institutions , and reform the abuses that have crept into them . As to a division of property , wo say with Rosencranta , there is no such stuff iw our thoughts . " We are aware that under a competitive system of society , inequality of property must exist . Wo know that happiness is not measured by the a mount of our possessions . What we
demand is equai political rights , not equal division of property . But then comes the charge that we are too ignorant tc be entrusted with the franchise , and this is the unkiudest cut of all ! Not content with defrauding the working classes of their political rights , and plundering them of the produce of their labour , they impiously add insult to injury , and tell us that we are too ignorant to be entrusted with the franchise . If we are too ignorant , what is the cause of our ignorance ! Is it our incapacity to learn ? Is it our lack of desire for knowledge 1 is it that our bloated priesthood have neg-r lected their duty ? or , is it that the present degraded condition of the working classes has so brutified our minds , and engrossed our time and attention in acquiring tho physical wants of our nature , that we have no time left for moral and mental cultivation 1 We ask the question , and leave the present class-formed government to answer
it . For our part we feel assured that we have more to dread from the cabalistic intrigues of the present exclusive system , than tho so styled ignorance of the working classes . When the people obtain a more enlightened Government , chosen by themselves and under their control , this ignorance will quickly be dispelled , as the vapours and gloom of night are dispelled by the genial influence of the sun . We fear that we are intruding on your valuable time , but we cannot conclude this address without calling on our fellow working men of all denominations , to unite to gain the great principles of Chartism , till in its accumulated strength it sweeps away for ever the barriers of exclusive selfishness , and establishes in Great Britain and Ireland , a government elected by the whole people ; under ihe control of the whole people ; and representing the interests of the whole people . C . Hutchings , President .

LETTER FROM MR . JOHN CAMPBELL . 180 , Holborn , Thursday Morning . Brother Democrats , —I am again amongst you . I should not have written to-day but for two circumstances that camo to my knowledge yesterday and last . night ! The first is , that on my arrival in Birmingham from Manchester , en route , to London , I asked a friend of mine , who is in employ as a porter on the railway , to get me an Evenivig Star as quick as possible . He said to me , I wish I could , but the directors have forbidden tho sale of the Northern and Evening Stars at the station . As many have not an opportunity of knowing , I will inform them that at all the larao stations , there iB a person who sells all the
most prominent daily and weekly newspapers . Every sort of paper , from the Times to the Age , is permitted to be sold , except the two Stars ; such is tho pystem that is carried on to damn the people ' s papers . Ought not this to be a stimulus to every Chartist in England , Scotland , and Ireland , to push their own press ? Every locality throughout the kingdom ought to take one or moro Evening Stars . Nay , where twelve individuals are able , they ought to subscribe twopence per week each , and take in the Star . When parties are too poor to subscribe twopence per week , they ought to subscribe one penny , and by this means twenty-four persons could take it in regularly . Working men , push the Star into every coffee-shop ana place of resort .
The second circumstance is this , that after I was sent out of town to Manchester , one of the policer men who assisted in arresting me , called to see my wife , and said if she would inform him where Dr . M'Douall resided , he would pay her down fifty pounds on the nail , and he would take steps that I should be released . She said , "No ! I would not tell you if you would fill this shop with sovereigns ' . '' I wish I had been at home , I would have sent the fellow , probably to Vienna or Se . Petersburgh , on a wildgoose chasa in search of the worthy Doctor . Cards are again in readiness j in the meantime , I subscribe myself , ¦ . ; ¦¦¦ Your brother democrat , J . Campbell .

Leeds Woollen Markets . —Thete has been more business done in the Cloth Halls , and a better demand for goods in tho warehouses , during the week , than lias been the case for some time past . Some orders ( perhaps limited ) have bean executed for the Uiiitea States , on which the additional duty of twenty per cent , imposed by the American Tariff , will have to be paid . There is also a little more doing in tho wool trade , but prices are very low . York Corn Market , Oct . 29 —We are fairly supplied with Grain to day ; and from the improvement noted in Wakcfitfld yesterday , our farmers have been asking much higher prices ; and though our millers and factors are not keen buyers at the advance , we must quote Wheat Is . to 2 * . per qr ., and Oats ^ d . per stone , higher , and Barley is in demand , at late prices .
Malton Corn Mabket , Oct . 29 th . —The quantity of scruin offering to this day ' e market is moderate . Wheat is Is and in some cases , 2 i per quarter dearer .

HUDDERSFIELD MARKET , TUESDAY , OCT . 1 ST . —• Our market ihis day was not quite so good as last week , yet a fair quantity of goods were sold . The warehouses are not so busy ; great numbers of operatives are unemployed , and it is to be feared they will experience a severe winter . Wools , oils , &c , nominal . Newcastle Corn Market , Oct . 29 . —Owing to a large annual fair held here to-day we had a very short supply of country wheat at market this morn * ing , and the arrivals from the coast being also light , the whole was readily cleared off at an advance of
fully Is . per quarter on the prices of this day ee ' nnight . In foreign Wheat there was rather more doing , but no advance can be noted . Rye is a very dull sale . The arrivals of Barley are not very considerable , bat very many of our maltsters have not yet commenced , and , in consequence , the supply exceeds the demand , and the sale is dull at our quotations . Peas net with more inquiry without any advance in price . Beans are neglected . . Malt Is a slow sale . We had a very moderate show of Oats today , which were a ready sale at last week ' s prices . Flour is in plentiful supply , and the sale is doll at Is . per sack decline .
State of Trade . —Although there was no material change yesterday , in the demand , and certainly no advance in the prices of goods or yarn , there was , upon the whole , a healthier and steadier feeling in the market than during the two or three preceding weeks . Stocks are still exceedingly light , and many spinners and manufacturers working under contract ; so that prices do not seem likely to be further reduced . —Manchester Guardian < A Wednesday . Rochdale Flannel Market , Monday , October 31 st . —Wo have had a busy market to-day , and flan , nels of the finer qualities have a good demand . — Dyed goods have also been eagerly sought after , and the market has been entirely cleared of them by Scotch buyers , who do not often attend this market . Notwithstanding this ready sale , there is not the least improvement in prices . Wool still re mains stationary in price ; and the manufacturers buy very sparingly .
Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , Oct . 31 . — We have had a smaller supply of Beasts at the market to-day than last week , and the quality the same as of late , the greater part being superior . Prices about the same . Beef 5 d to 5 | d , Mutton 5 d to 6 d pe , r lb . Number of Cattle at market : —Beasts 1801 , Sheep 6 , 053 . - Richmond Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 29 . — We had a very large supply of all kinds of Grain in our market to-day . Wheat sold from 5 s to 6 s 9 d ; Oats 2 s to 3 s 8 i ; Barley 4 s to 5 s 9 d ; Beans 5 s to 5 s 3 d per bushel .
Liverpool Cobn Market . —Mowdat Oct . 31 . —In the early part ot the week a few small cargoes of Wheat , Oats and Oatmeal , got up from Ireland , but we have since had scarcely any arrivals except steamers , and tho week's imports of these articles are comprised iu 2416 qrs ., 4584 qrs ., and 5094 loadB respectively ; 4 , 447 barrels of Flour are reported from Canada- ; tho receipts otherwise arc of trifling amount . Since the date of our last report the tradegenerally has exhibited a firmer aspect than for some time previous . On Tuesday holders of foreign Wheat demanded an advance of 3 d per bushel , which was paid on a moderate amount of business , and ha »
been fully maintained . Flour has also brought rather more money ; United States 26 s 6 A to 283 j Canadian 25 s 6 d to 26 s 6 d per brl . The market , during tho greater part of the week , has been almost void of new Grain , and for the few lots on sale higher prices have been realised ; the best runs of Irish red Wheat have brought 6 s 6 d to 6 s 9 d . per 70 Ibs ., Oats 2 a 5 d to 2 s 6 ^ d per 451 bs ., an advance of fully 4 d and 2 J per bushel respectively . New Oatmeal must be quoted 2 s dearer ; 22 s 6 d to 23 s per 2401 bs . paid for Irish . The English new Barley , being still held at 34 s to 35 s per quarter , hasmoved slowly . No change as regards Beans or Peas .
Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 29 . The business dono iu Flour during the week has chiefly been in limited quantities to consumers , whose stocks are generally light ; and , to effect sales , holders of the article freely accepted offers made by the trade at prices somewhat below the recent nominal currency . The transactions in Oatmeal were of an active character , the low prices having induced extensive consumption ; and a clearance was effected of all prime parcels in first hands at improving prices . The imports into Liverpool or Runcorn are light from all quarters ; those from Ireland show a-
considerable failing off , which has caused a temporary scarcity of Oats and Oatmeal . There is no alteration to notice in tho value of Wheat at our market this morning , but holders firmly demanded the quotations { of this day se'nnight . The trade in Flour was chiefly of a retail character to supply present use , and 383 to 39 $ per sack were extremerates for supvrfine qualities . Oats and Oatmeal , from their scarcity , commanded higher prices ; and an advance of 2 d per 551 bs . on the former , and 6 d tols per load on the latter article was realized , bat only in limited quantities to the dealers .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Oct . 31 . — The supplies during last week were moderate of English Grain and Flour of all sorts , but of Irish Oats the arrival was most abundant , being equal to about 57 , 654 quarters . Of foreign Wheat we had also several cargoes arrived , in the whole amounting to near 13 , 000 quarters . The demand throughout the week for Wheat was languid , and prices rather tended downwards , particularly samples of middling inferior quality . Foreign Wheat might have been purchased on decidedly lower terms , and some considerable quantity changed hands at the decline . For other Grain the trade ruled steady , with the exception of Irish Oats , which on Friday receded
from Is . to 2 s . per quarter , according to quality . To this morning ' s market the show of English samplesfresh up was moderate of English Wheat and other Grains . Wheats have been taken off more fully than on this day week , but prices have undergone improvement . Barley has met a fair demand , at the rates of this day week . Irish Oats meet a tolerably free sale , at a decline of Is . to 2 s . per quarter . The supply of Beans and Peas , both White and Gray , has been fully equal to that of last Monday , and good boiling Peas are in demand at prices the turn dearer than on that day . In Flour wo hear of no alteration . Seeds of all descriptions meet an average demand ^ and all description are unaltered in value .
London Shithfield Market , Monday , October . 31 . —The official return of Foreign cattle imported iuto London under the new tariff , for the week ending the 29 th instant , is sixty-seven head of bullocks , of which two were from Oporto , and tho greater portion of the remainder from Holland . Besides these there were some from Spain , by way of Devonshire . With one or two exceptions , these cattle were again of a very inferior quality ; not so old perhaps , generally , as some on former occasions , but decidedly in a poorer condition . This quality of foreign beasts attracts little notice beyond that of mere , curiosity ; this was tho most observable to-day , as very few "bids" were in ado for them , and the salesmen found a difficulty in fixing a price . Few sold , and
those at a very low figure . The average price cannot be quoted higher than 2 s . 6 d . to 2 s . 8 d . per stone . Although during the Midsummer quarter a larger supply oi ' home-bred cattle is expected than during the preccediug one , yet the number of English Bullocks at market to-daj was exceedingly large , being full 4 , 000 head . Of these the principal number were from Leicestershire , but the whole of the counties winch at this season of the year supply the market for warded a larger number than for a leng while past . There was also an increased number of Short Horns and Runts . The demandfor Beef was very limited and the over abundance of the supply increased the dullness of trad « . Prices , from these circumstances combined , wore lower , as to effect eales a decline
was willingly made . Prime Scots and English Ox cannot be quoted higher than 4 a . per stone , and inferior not more than 3 s . The number of head turned out unsold was , as might be expected from the Iar ^ e supply and limited inquiry together , larger than on many a market past , aad quite sufficient to raeet Friday's demand . The number of head of S ; eep returned last night as . the nupply for to-day ' s market was upwards ' of 34 , 000 , but as the drovers in tho first instance give a larger number in than . hey actually bring , the number on Smithfield stones this morning may with greater acearacy be given as about 30 , 000 in round
numbers . Tiie butchers were equally as backward in their purchases of Mutton as of Beef , and the largo number on offer caused a very dull state of trade . Prime full-mouthed Southdown Wethers did not command more than 3 i . 10 J . per stone , and the best Southdown Ewes about . 43 . 2 d . on the average . A few realised 4 s . 4 d ., but the former price was'the more current rate of the day for the best quality . Tho supply of Calves was , according to the time of year , also large , and more than adequate to the demand . The finest Young Calves did not fetch more than 7 J . per lb . Pigs were ou an average in number . For this kind of meat also theie was a dull trade .

OMN 1 POTENCY OF CHARTISM . In faith this Chartism is a funny animal . It reminds us of the ¦ worm which never dieth . No sooner is the oppressor ' s heel lifted , —no sooner are its Fcpsrr . ted parts held up to the all-admiring eye of faction , as things to meet no more , —than we a-Jvake from our slumber , and see the worm welded , strong , and crawling a <; ain . One side of the question is over . The Special Commissions are ended , but not to the ppeciai inquiries . There is some active agency at v ? ork ; fcr at tho present moment vigorous preparations are being made to have tho point reserved by Mr . Allen on the trial of EHis , argned before the fifteen Judges ; while at the same time the necessary steps are being taken by those Chart sts who traversed till next asfizes , to have their trials removed , in consequence of the proiudice crr-ated asainst them , in the minds of the Grand
, Jury atd the Putty Jury class , by the speeches of ; Lord Arbin&er . There are also many petition commutee 3 in course of appointment , for the purpose of bringing the cases of those who have re-; ceived " disproportionate sentences , " under the 1 no ! fee of the Queen and the Parliament ; ' ¦ while the general feeling of self-importance , is i daily getting stronger in the opinion of the Chartist : body . They Eay . and justly too , —We must be ; somebody , else is the Government an idle " hussey , " and a frightened busy-body to make so much noise about nothing . Our principles must be good , when ' they cause fo much alarm in high places ; and our NA 31 E must be magical , when a Judjre of the land makes it an offence against lnw and Holy Writ to acknowledge it . So much for persecution aud Special CommispioEs , to put out the Chartist light . Fudge !—Evening Star .
