      IiEEDS . —Stealing—On Thursday last , a decentlooking country woman r . cmed Maria Cheesebcrough , who stated she came from Great Preston , near Kippax , was committed fortrial by our borough Magistrates , on a charge of having , on Wednesday , stolen & pair of women ' s shoes , the property of Isaac Cneetham , to whose stall she had gone in the market , under pretence of purchasing , but after looking at several pairs , walked off with these and forgot to pay for them . Sho was followed , and the shoes found concealed on her person .

      A Would bb Councillor . —On Thursday last , Mr . John Jackson , corn miller , late a candidate for municipal honours in the North East Ward , applied to the Sitting Magistrate , Ralph Markiand , Eiq ., at the Court-House , to grant him a summons against Mr . John Heaton , printer , Biiggate , calling upon him to produce before the bench , the copy ot a certain handbill , printed by Mr . Hfa ' . on previously to the first of November , in which Mr . Jackson averred that he had been held up to ridicule , and grossly libelled . The Magistrate , after irquiring into the nature of the placard , advised Mr . Jackson not to hava any further trouble abo : it it ; but this advice not being at all palatable to the offended dignity of the complainant , the magistrate desired him to present his compliments to Mr . Heaton , and desire him to attend on Friday , which he did , accompanied by Mr . John Hope Shaw , as his l ^ al adviser . Mr . Naylor ,

      solicitor , appeared for Mr . Jack-on . .. dr . Naylor stated thit he applied to the B ^ ncb . on behalf of Mr . Jackson , to compel Mr . Ht-aton , to produce under the Act 29 ; h George III ., by vrhich he was required to keep , and to produce , \ vheu requested to do so b } a magistrate , within six months , a copy of any work which by him mitht be printed . He contended that the publication about which his client felt agrieved was poliucally seditious and treasonable . * and calculated in some decree to produce a breach o : the peace . The placard , the printing of which was not denied , vras put in and read . It purported to be a bill f s ^ . le by auctiou , on the first of November , of a number of " hacks , cobs , hunters , leather-plaur ^ , aud roadsters , drafted frum the South Ward htud , as no longer fit for service . ' Lot four was the portion complained of by Mr . Jackson , which he said was intended to apply to him . It ran thus :

      " Lot i . Col . Hudson ' grey horse BADGER , by Jingling Johnny , out i > f Presumption . This animal was bred by Sir Rich . Evers . at tho Royal Fleet , ami per . foimed well as s . hau ing hone . He was aft rwaris purchased by the late Michael Thomas Sadier , Esq .. and ( joctisd by bis owner ; ran a good second for the Conservative Plate . He then put out a spavin , and was purchased by a Jarvty for the hackney coach service . "We next hear of him as heen entered for the Hoibeck Corporation Plate in 1 S 39 ; but inconsequence of having eaten too frveiy of pancakes ( made of unsound flour ) and bacon , he broke do ^ rn and was distanced . Ho next entered for the South Ward Innkeeper ' s Pkiit for this > ear ; l . ut his owners having received a check , they paid the forfeit , and he was declared iiot to start . He is now entered for the North East Chartist

      Cup , and stands well in the betting . He is m excellent condition , ba \ inghad two years * run in the Frog and Pastures , and h ; is , in consequence , brcotne rathtr wild , and been guilty of running the Lambs , and kicking the eu-es- Another slight imperfection necessary to be nampd , is a saxid-crack in one heel , and a troub ' esome sicelluig , which is easily reduced by the application of " Lamb's oil . " To keep his hoofs in order , it is necessary that they Bhould be trashed in warm water and pared once a treefc . This horse has an unlimited number of points , and is earnestly recommended to the attention of purchasers . There is no reserve on him , and he must be sold with all his eriga ^ jemeiits . ''

      The reading of the document produced peals of laughter at Mr . Jackson ' s cxpenee ; and Mr . Shaw , after showing that the magistrates could net reaily interfere in the case , de ? cribcd the whole of the affair as it really was—a mere electioneering squib , which , had it been let alone , would not have had any interest beyor . d the day on which it was circulated . The Magistrates , notwithstanding a luminous reply from Mr . Naylor , took Mr . Shaw ' s view of the question , and dismissed the case , telling Mr . Jackson he had his remedy by action , if he chose to avail himself thereof .

      BRADFOHD .-Revef . se of Fortune . —One of tho ; e strange turn ? of the fickle maid , fortune , of which we htar tell sometime ? , has occurred during ihe last week iu this : own , to William Sev .-cll , a water hawker , well known under the cognomen of " Waur Bill . " Oa Thursday morning a Utter from Bath arrived , per p- 'st . announcing to him that a rich aunt , who had resided in that town wa « dead , and ha ^ left to him the large sum of £ 10 , 000 . To render assurance doubly sure , t .: c same evening a gentleman arrived from Bath , to take proceedings in the matter ; and with him S ^ well se ^ off next morning to Bath , where arrangements Wi-re mi'Jeand the property Secured to him . He then return ^ d to Bra-Oi ' ord , " quite a gentlemen , " as the phrase Eoes .

      Seriocs Accident . —On Monday night , as Mr . Tetley Ffarnley , traveller for Mr . PettT Beck , of Halifax , brewsr , was proceeding down Manor Row , on horseback , on hi ? return from K > . ieh ! f > y , when near the Free Grammar School , he met Mr . Wharton , of Baildon , better known as the " Baildon doctor , " who was driving home in a gig . By s . mo unfortunate circums : ance Mr . Wharton ' s gij ; shaft hit Mr . Tetley ' s horse in the chest , with such force as to drive it into t e body , towards the middle of the back , and nearly out under the saddle . Mr . Fearnky was thrown from his seat by the concussion , and received some irjuries , of which he has since recovered . The animal , which is a valuable one , was conveyed to th < - Swan , iu Market-street , where it still remain ? , under the professional care of Mr . Byron , veterinary surgeon , Mr . Wharto : i also received some injuries , but not any of a very serious description .

      1 Hivo vpo ^ a . Secret Society . —On Wednesday . before the Magistrates , at the Court House , Bradford , James Garside , of Bowling , permanent secretary to the Equity Lodge , of the Grand United Order of Fellows , held at the Junction Inn , was charged with having embezzled money , the property of the society , and also £ 1 2 s . 6 d ., the propcrry of the landlord , Mr . Outhwar . e . Mr . ToUcn , solicitor , appeared for the society , and Mr . Outhwaite and Mr . Wagstafffor the ' defendant . The charg ? of obtnining money from the landlord was stated by Mr . Toison . On the 6 th of September , the defendant sent a rote to Mr . Outhwaite requesting that £ 1 2 ;' . 6 d ., which was due from the Equity L ^ d ^ e , to a lodge iu Leeds , might be sent to him by the bearer . The note being Garside ' s writirij :, Mr . ( . ) .,

      who , it appsor » , paysmoney on account of the society in thi- mariner , and has it refunded ou the looge niel ;; =, sent the sum required . It had since turned out that the money was no : owing to the Leeds Lodge , and defendant , on this discovery being made , having been charged with the offence , admitted ttia ; he had received it and appropriated it to his own use . Mr . Wag : taff replied that as the man had only been taken into custody on the previous ni ^ hr , and had noi had time to prepare his answer to the charge , he mi ^ ht be held to bail to appear at another ume . The application was granted , and next \ V « . dreiday fixed . Bail was procured , and the defendant discharged . The charges ol defrauding the society were not detailed , but Mr . Tolson told the magistrates that they were numerens .

      ClrAYTOlT .- On Monday night the members of the reading room , held at the house of Mr . Wm . Hellewell , near Clayton Heights , Eat down to a sumptuous repast , on the occasion of their tenth anniversary . WTID LOTHI AN .-Colliees' Sirike . —Since my last communication , I urn happy to state , that part of the colliers have got their differences settled , and are now at work a sum , the coal masters having given the wat ; es a > ked for ; the men at work are of course now supporting those cut . There are now only three works out , those of the Tory Duke of Buccleugh , the Marquis of Lothian , and the White Hill work , thus proving ( if proof were wanting ) the falsity of the assertion , that the aristocracy of

      this class-ridden country , are the best friends ol the poor ; these nobles ( 2 ) it will be seen arc the last to grant the undeniably just claims of the oppressed colliers . Some benevolent persons have lately sen ! the colliers 16 bolla of oatmeal , 2 sheep , and 2 legs of pork ; this is good , may others follow the excellent example . These kind friends have the prayers and gratitude of the colliers and their starving families . The peaceable conduct of the men undex such trying circumstances is gaining them a host of friends and the best wishes of all , but those directly interested in oppressing them ; may they still continue such conduct , and their success is all but certain . One good thing has been obtained by these strikes , which 1 am sure will warm the hearts of all the readers of the Stea-, that is , hundreds of these colliers , who never heard of the Charter , txcept as a term of

      contempt , are now made converts to its sublime truths . The Chartists of this locality taking advantage of the strike have at every favourable opportunity mixed with the men , have circulated among them tracts , newspapers , &o . and have thus convinced them that class legislation is the cause of their misery . The good seed has thus been sown , and it only remains for the " good and true" in Dalkeith , Lassw&de , &c . to reap a most glorious harvest . —The caustic reply of tho collier to a shopkeeper who lives and fattens on the toil of the working men , will show what good has been done . The shopkeeper , addressing the collier , said " Well , , you have got settled , you will now go to work . " " Oh , aye , " says the man , " but je ken we gang to wark now wi' our ke ' en opened .

      H&WOI&TH . —Ttu , ro arc now in the employment of Jamts Greenwood , Esq ., manufacturer , at Lhis place , four men , woolcombers , all working at Dne comb-pot , whose united ages amount to 269 years . State of Trade—The trade at Haworth is in a queer and unsettled state , —some having too much work , and others too little , —in consequence of there being little or no demand for some kinds of goods and a great demand for other kinds . Indeed the masters find it very d . fficult to keep , without loss , all their men folly employed .

      Ministerial Difficulties . —It is confidently stated in the city , that the frequent meetings of Ministers for the last week have some grand object in view of a financial nature , so as to impede , if possible , the great distress that is daily rapidly increasing in the manufacturing districts , and which seriously threatens the commercial influence and power of this vast empire . The sliding scale of Sir Robert Pee ! has proved a failure , and it is expected that a most important alteration in the Corn-Laws will be made by the Right Honourable Premier on the assembling of Parliament , either to admit it at a 43 .

      or oa . duty , or to repeal the tax altogether . The grand financial measure of Sir Robert is said to be to reduce the 3 J per cent , stooks , to 3 per cent ., so as to effect a great saving annually in the expenditure of tho state . There is a euper-abundance of money in the market , which the parties know not how to speculate with except in joint-stock companies , railroads , and elastic India rubber bubbles . The brokers are looking forward with the eye of Argus at every movement of Ministers , as the Bank of England Directors will support them in any financial measure they may bring forward next session to effect this reduction .

      Revolting Case—We are put in possession of the following statement by James Butterwonh , news-agent , Burnley , who vouches for its accuracy , and refers to Mr . Henry Wiikin ^ on , of Higher Moss End , near New-church , in the Forest of Fendle , in confirmation of its truth : —An old cow , belonging to Mr . Wilkinson , died of distemper , a few days ago , and he sold the carcase to Richard Myer 3 , of Burnley , for 2 s . 6 d . The death of the cow having become known in the neighbourhood , a nHinber of the famishing poor went to the place where it lay , and begged for portions of its flesh . Mr . Wilkinson , after some consideration , let a poor man named of

      Wm . Hargr ^ aves have a cutting several pounds weight , and -imilar portions were afterwards given to George Green , Mary Hartley , Thomas Foster , and John Watts . The ? e poor creatures urged their miserable and wretched poverty aB the case of the clamour for the diseased beef , and stated that it would save themselves and families from the horrors of starvation aud death . Mr . Wilkinson , knowing their distress and hunger , reluctantly permitted them to cut up the beast and take such quantities of it as they di-sired . Such is the horrible condition to which honest and industrious English workmen are reduced in their native land . —Manchester Times .

      State of the Nottingham Trade . —Tho approach of the winter season has been severely fdc this week , as very few bohbin nels have been selling , which depression has extended even to the patent plait nets . The brsk state of trade in France has caused the exportation of machinery to bo extremely active ; two 42-quarter bobbin net machines went on Saturday night ; and on Tuesday , a 15-quurter was loaded at Snenton in open day . Since the publication of the Manchester letter , though it states that the Government will not grant licenses for lace and flax machinery , yet from all we can perceive , tho law is in abeyance , and is in fact abrogated . A memorial upon the subject to the Boards of Trade is in course of signature . The silk

      glovo trado is in the mo 3 t deplorable state , and nothing is heard amongst tho hands but distress and lamentation . Tho begni"g Sjstem is again in full activity . As a matter of course , the system of forced V 3 ^ rancy has a tendency to fraud ; but there aro certainly a great nuniber of worthy men who are reduced to this painful ' alternative ; whilst we know of others , who for tho last two years have made a trade of preying upon the benevolent ; The working-classes detest these , impost-. rs , and would give , if a « ked , every assistance to detect them . The sufferings of many of the framework-knitters

      aro now intolerably tfrievoua . One of them named John Cullen , of Snenton-elements , has supplied us with the following statement of his ordinary week's work : — "I took , " ho says , " a frame with halfhose cut-ups . The roaster told me that they were sevenpence per dozen from the warehouse but his price was Gd . per dozen . In the courso of the week , I made ten dozen , amounting to about 6 s ., from which had to bo deducted the following expenses : —seaming and profits , " 2 s . (> d . ; frame rent , 2 s . 4 d . ; needle 6 , 2 d . ; fat , 3 d . ; fire , 3 d ; and caudles , Gd . ; thus positively leaving me notkiug whatever to subsist upon . "—Nottingham

      Review-People Look Out !—It ic highly amusing to hear some ofihe calculations now and then made as to the probability of a coalition between the leading Whigs and leading Tories , while for practical governmental purposes , every man of common sense mupt know that ? nch a thiii £ , upon a general scale , would be impossible . Such things have occurred in former times , it is true , but . in those days each party coni-istcd of biu a man or two . I ' nt or box as shepherds of their respective flocks , might have sold the whole lot along with themselves , —but not so now . A half dozen guini ; , —nay , or the whole batch toing over at once , —from one side to the other , would not ensure either the following nor yet the silence of the bleating flock left behind .

      Politics are now more of a trade than they were formerly , and the trade is overstocked . What , for instance , could Sir Robert Peel do with the many hungry devils that would follow in the wake of the alliance ! We have very little doubt that Russell will go over , and Peel will hail his junction a 3 a great advantage . But , then , he leaves Pahnerston , Normanby . Hobhouse , Macaulay , Lord Howick , Charles Wood , Morpeth , Charles Buller , Lubouchere , and all the Greys and the Ellisses . No : — the tffect of a junction between the Tories and a few of the leading Whigs would be the formation pf a strong and more democratic opposition , formed by the neglected of the Whig party . We do not believe that any promise of reward would induce

      either Morpeth or Howick to join a Tory party ; as for Macaulay , Hobhouse , and Palmerston , they are any man ' s who best comes up to their price . Russell really goes over if ho does change sides , —which , mind , we have not yet made our minds up upon , simply from pride and a love of ease and family considerations . If he goes . Howick will not , allow Palmers' . on to lead the Whig party upon " Hero I am and thero I am" policy . No , Howick will then endeavour once more to revive the olden times of Fox and Pitt , by drawing an unerring line of demarcation between Whig and Tory principles , and by leading on the former . But thtr . the question may be asked , " What is to be done wiih Duncombe and his ten millions in the mean time i' ior , mask as faction may tor yet a little , Duncorabe , after all , will be the

      stumblingblock in the way of political prostitution . Authority may laugh at the exertions of a single individual ; but when those exertions are backed by millions of voic ( s , and ^ reat energy , judgment , eloquence , and perseverance , the man becomes a host , the one becomes many . The feeling of self-respect , and the awkward custom of men thinking and speaking for themselves , now-a-days , rendtrs tho sale of leaders , in tho House or out of the House , comparatively harmless . The Chronicle is ko doubt fishing for such a union of flesh as will insure tho s-iiporession of Ch ' . inism ; but even to that the majosity ontFide will not lend their sanction , and accord their support . Therefore , happen what may iiiside , we have the vanity ; o believe that the outside of our House is proof against the worst weather . —Evening Star .

      boiiE months ago , an old Peninsula and Waterloo officer applied to Lord Hill for an ensigncy f ^ r his son without purchase . The candidates name was placed fin the crowded list at the Horse Guards , with a promise of early notice . On the Duke succeeding Lord Hill , hi ? Grace ' s old follower again applied through an influential channel . The pithy but gratifying answer was " The Duke has anticipated your wishes . " The lucky candidate will be gazetted to an old and distinguished corps on the India station in a few days . Il ,: re is a proof that " tho Duke" has not forgotten his old follower ? . —Limerick Chron .

      Singular Escape . —The manager of a coal work near Dundonald , daring last wef k , Lad occasiou to keep his men clusxr than usual at work in one of the pus which was undergoing some necessary repairs . 1 revious to leaving home after dinner to go to the pit , he requested his wife to bring some refreshment ior himself and the men at work . Accordingly she did so ; and rn -arriving at the pit mouih , insisted on going down into the bowels of tho earth to dispense the good things of this life in propria persona . Her wish was complied with , aud down she went in the bucket , and was received by hex husband at the bottom , who expressed great surprise at her appearance , there , and bluntly stated bis apprehensions of her reaching the upper ld in

      wor safety . The husband and wife got into the creel to ascend , and had been drawn up the shaft about forty feet , when the rope broke , and both along with the bucket , wero precipitated to the bottom . Strange to say , neither of the two were hurt t > y the fall ; the only injury receive d was by the woman . on whom the broken rope fell and slightly ruffled the skin of her neck . The bottom of the pit was boarded over , and the bucket broke two of tbe planks by the force ot its descent . Had it gone through , the probability is great that wo should have had to record an accident of a fatal character , as , beneath the boards there was a continuation of the shaft , of about forty fathoms , half filled with water , into which had they fallen , they would never have been got out life . —Ayr Advertiser .

      Fire in Spitalfields , —Shortly before three o ' clock on Wednesday mornings a fire took place in the premises of an oilman , Union-street , Spitalfields . The proprietor was awoke by the barking of his dog , and on fjettiug out of bed was alarmed by the room being filled with smoke . The family escaped at the top of the house . _ A strong party of police arrived , and rendered assistance before the engines ieached the spot ; but before the flames could be extinguished , from the inflammable nature of the stock , considerable loss of property was sustained . This is the sixteenth fire in London within the last nine days .

      Kennedy s Bubble . —So , the Phoenix Park Model farm , which was to realize such large profits , and show off Ayrshire farming , to the dismay < ft he Irish system , is closed up at a loss of &l , 200 to Government in a couple of years . The Chancellor of the Exchequer had no relish for furrow draining , that would shortly drain him dry , and he therefore shut tho shop . The extraordinary thing is , that whilo this 6 ame model farm has been the laughing-stock of every one who saw it for the last six months , other farms in the park , occupied by his excellency and his secretaries , have thriven remarkably well . The Right Hon . Mr . Kennedy , one of the Treasury , projector

      sole manager , and patentee of the said model farm , is now to have his plan judged by its results , and we have it ou black and white . About a year ago we warnedthe loan societies agaiast a plan , of Mr .

      Rochdale Flannel Market , Nov . U . —The flaunel market has been much like that of the preceding Monday—a fair demand for goods , at low prices . In the wool market , the dealers complain of having little to do : the manufacturer pu .-chases as if he expected lower prices ; and indeed this article is better to buy than it was a short time ago .

      State of Trade . —The improved demand for goods , to which we alluded last week , still continues ; and a pretty extensive business has been done during the last few days , at prices generally a shade highes than those obtained a week ago . In tho yarn market also , a considerable amount of business has been done for Germany ; the near approach of winter having rendered the buyers anxious to close their operations for the season . Previous rates have consequently been readily given ; but no advance can be quoted . Generally speaking , the market , without being at all animated , is firm and healthy : and , from the general absence of stock , seems likely to continue so , unless disturbed by fluctuations in the cotton market . —Manchester Guardian , of Wednesday . : .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Nov . 12 , —The supplies of Flour from tho agricultural districts have for some time past been diminishing , and the stocks of prime English manufacture are now reduced into a narrow compass ; the market has in consequence beoome relieved from the severe pressure noted of late , and pricea not previously obtainable have been realised during the week . The inquiry for Oatmes-1 has been chiefly for immediate consumption , and to effect saks lower rates were submitted . The Irish arrivals comprise 3062 quarters of Wheat , 8853 qnarters of Oats , and 11 , 790

      loads of Oatmeal . Elsewhere but little addition to the previous stooks has been received . The duty on foreign Wheat has advanced to 20 s per quarter , and on Flour to 17 s 2 ^ d per barrel , being the highest rate in the scale . At our market this morning there was a great want of animation in the trade , and the alvance noted this day se ' nnight on Wheat was not supported . In the quotations of Flour no change can be made . Oats were a dull sale , and Id per 45 lbs lower ; and the transactions in Oatmeal were only to a limited extent , at a decline of 6 d per load .

      Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , Nov . 14 . — We have had a smaller supply of Cattle at market to-day than of late , tho greater portion of secondrate quality , wiih an advance in price .

On Saturday 40 d bags were sold . Livukpool Cobn Market , Monday , Nov . 14 . — The arrivals to this port during the plast week include 2 , 375 quarters of Wheat , 7 , 637 quarters of Oats , ami 10 , 687 loads of Oatmeal , from Ireland ; 2 , 125 quarters of Barley have been received coastwise : but , with these exceptions , the imports of

      Grain , &c , are of light amount . The duties of Foreign Wheat and Flour are now at the maximum , 20 j . per quarter and 12 s . Id . per barrel . On Tuesday last , Wheat generally was quoted 2 d . to 3 d . per bushel dearer ; this advance has since been maintained for ail descriptions ot Foreign , but the sales have been much less free , and with the little increase of supply the improvement , so far as regards Irish new , has been lost , 6 s . 9 d . to 7 s . per 701 bs ., being again outside rates for best samples Of red . Flour has met only a moderate sale at 27 ^ . 6 d . to 28 s . 6 d . for United States , 26 s . Od . to 27 s . 6 d . per barrel tor Canadiau . Both Oata and Oatmeal have receded in value ; the former fully Id . per bushel , tha latter 6 d . per load , and at this reduction some portion of the recent arrivals remain unsold . 2 s . 4 d . to 2 s . 6 d . per 451 b .-. are the present quotations for Irish new Oatp , 22 a .. to 22 s . 6 J . per load for Oatmeal . No change as regards Barley , BcaRS , or Peas .

      LoivDON Corn Exchange , Monday , Nov . 14 . — Our supplies during last week were small of English Grain of every description , but of Inah Oatstne arrival was abundant . We had also an importation of Foreign Wheat , amounting ou the whole to 7 . 550 quarters . The trade in the early part of the week was brisk , at rather improving prices for every deccription of Grain , but the market of Friday was less attended , and Lho demand considerably less active . To this morning's market the supply fresh up was fair of E ^ sex and Kentish WheaiB , and the demand being tolerably good ( although not so free as last week ) , has caused prices to remain altogether without alteration from this day week . Tho supply of Barley fresh up is good , and the trade , as with

      Wheat , not so free as this day week , but prices are supported . Oa . ts are unaltered in price ; fine dr Fcriptions of heavy corn meeting a fair demand . Old Beans are a very slow sale . New Beans and White Peas maintain their quotations , but Maple Peas come slowly to hand , and realise freely last week's prices . In flour we hear of no alteration . Seeds of all descriptions steady , with the exception of Canary Seed , which is rather dearer . London Smithfield Market , Monday , Nov . 14 . —The official ruturn of Foreign Cattle imported into London during the week ending Saturday , the l 2 th inst ., is as tollows : —From Bremen , 18 Oxen and 4 Cows ; from Rotterdam , 2 Cows ; making a total of 24 Beasts . Independent of these , ibere were aboiu 15 from Spain and 10 from Hamburgh , which had been landed at other ports on the coast .

      There have been several arrivals at other places during the week , but the number has been small . Of those at our market to-day from Spain , four were of a much better quality than any yet received from that quarter ; one , in particular , was a very prime beast , equal to the gecoral run of second-rate English , and attracted great attention ; its value may be stated to be about £ 20 to £ 22 , and the other three about £ 18 each . Had they been equal in siza to tho two from Holland , which sometime sines realised £ ' 25 each , fully as good prices would have been obtained for them . As Spain and Holland , it will be seen , can produce cattle of good quality , it is natural to suppose that in time , if similar fcJaste to these arrive , aud in any number , that the price of inferior English Beef will decline something mow in value than it already has done . The supply ol Horned Cattle from our home districts at market to

      day was smaller than for a long while past , as not since the 8 ? h of August last have we had . so few above 3 , 000 head . The number returned to the Clerk of the Market yesterday was about 3 , 200 , but not more than 3 , 050 were there in reality . The prinoipal number were from Leicestershire , Northamptonshire , and Lincolnshire . From the grazing district round London , as also from Hereford , Yorkshire ) &c , there were fewer than on Monday last , and not many from Wales . The attendance of butchers w » B good , and tho demand was brisker than last week . From this eause an advance of about 2 d . per stone was in general obtained , and a total clearance effected by the close . Tbe quality generally was , as on many markets past , only second rate , bat still of better quality of that ; description than on tho last

      two Mondays . Of Sheep the supply was small * than ou any market day since the 10 th of last October by about 2 , 000 head . The Mutton trade , however , received no impetus from this circumstance , bat it was not by any means duller than on Monday last . Prices were much the same , and nearly all soli * Priiue Southdowns fetched 4 s . 2 d . per stone , polled wethers 3 s . 8 d . to 3 s . 10 d ., and polled ewes 3 s . to 3 s . 4 d . There was an average number of Calves on sale , bat did not command anything like a good trade , although better than on this day se ' nnigUt . The rates obtained were higher than on that day by about 4 d per stone , but still under the usual prices . In Pork there was a fair business doing , but fine Young Porkers did not realize more than 4 s . 6 d . to 4 s . 8 d .

      Malton Corn Mabket , Saturday , Nov . 12 . — We have a moderate supply of all grain to this day's market . Wheat is dull sale , at Is . per qr .. Barley ls . perqr ., and Oats 6 d . per qr . lower , with very little business doing . Wheat , red 48 a . to 53 s . ; D » - » white 54 s . to 58 s . ; Barley , 24 s . to 28 s . ; Oats , 8 ^ to 9 Jd .

      w BAIL COURT—Thursday , Nov . 10 . THE QUEEN V . BADGER AND CABTWRIGHT . Mr . Justice Patteson delivered judgment in this case . Upon looking at the affidavits , his Lordship Bnid , I find that the defendants were not only quite wrong in refusing bail on the grounds stated oy th ' . 'm , but from the manner in which they refused it , th ' . expressions they used at the time , and the circumstances that they sated , thoy had other reasons , which thoy did not choose to bring forward , though desired to do so ; arid raised such a ease as to justify the granting of a rule calling on tho magistrates to explain their conduct . The rule , however , must be against the two magistrates , aud not against all the five , because though the warrant of committal seems to have been signed by all the five , Badger and Cartwright seem the only two who refused the bail , and the other three do not seem to be implicated in any way in refusing bail . The rule , therefore , muht be against those tw » only .

      _ Closing of Pbj soxs tor Debt . —The metropolitan prisons ior ceb ; have , wiihin the last few dav =, presented a different appealauce to what they have sxhibited for some time . The rleet and Marshnljea prisons have been closed ; the former was shut on Saturday , and the lafer on Thursday last . There were seventy in the Fleet , and only three in the 3 Iarshalsf-a ; and iheir removal took place to the Queen's trison , under an act passed during the last session , authorizing Lord Denman to issue his warrant for their passage from one jail to another . From Tuesday io Saturday the removals took piace from the Fieet . Some of the prisoners "had been confined a very long period , and a few upwards of 20 years ! An eccentric character , named Jeremiah

      Board , had been an inmate of the Fleet 28 years , having been eomnutted in 1814 . The case of th : s man , who has been removed to the Queen ' s Prison , is very singular . He was a farmer , at a place called Newion ' s Firm , and was committed to the Fleet in 1814 , where he remained without much disturbance , except some Chancery proceedings , until 1838 , in whica year the present act for the Insolvent Debtors' Court was passed , aud in" this act as an important alteration was made giving power to creditors to proceed against parties who preferred imprisonment to taking the benefit of the act , by which proceeding ihey would be compelled to give up their proptrty . The provision has been pTcdnctire of considerate benefit : persons have been

      proceeded against in the Insolvent Debtors' Cou « . and compelled to dugorge their property ; others have arranged with their creditors and gone out of custody . In the case of Beard , a gentleman named BichardBon , as executor of Mary Chappell , filed a petition under the compulsory clause , and a ' testing order was made under which he was appointed assignee , and by a decisire act a good deal of property was obtained . A messenger of the court was Bentto the prison , and on the person of Board , and in his possession , a large sum of money , and securities for money were found , ¦ which , of conrue , the assignee seized . Mr . Richardson claimed to be a creditor for £ 8 , 185 , and the matter has been before Mr . Commissioner Harris . Advertisements had

      been inserted to discover creditors , bnt very few were found . There was somewhere- about £ 1 , 600 , and a dividend was declared . Board is now sojourning in the Queen ' s prison , where he is , of course , a " character . " As the present period there are in the Qncen's Prison about 280 persons , a very few in the rules , and those who had the privilege when the act aonsolidating the prisons was passed were allowed to remain twelve months . Day rules hare already eeued , and the othar privilege will be denied -at tbe tinM mentioned . There are 228 rooms in the prison ; and « some of these appartments , by the recent increase , chums" have been placed ; that is to say ' two hare been lodged in one room . Some alteration * have been expected in the classification of prisoners ' which will now probably take place . In Whitecn * s-Btreet Prison there are about 360 , and 120 in HoreeB © nger-laa * Gaol . The total number of

      prisoners for debt in London may be now stated at about < 60 . Some year * ago there were as many in 90 s pnson .
