      nat be disappointed . ( C 3 ie « ra . ) The B * t , Mr . Muir , IodependentMiaiHter , seconded the reaehition . He majntaiaed that it was the doty of every man to m-Testigtte the causes ef the present social misery . ( Why , then , B « t » Sir , were the Christian Qiartist lliniitets . and Rational Religionist Preach 6 J » ,-excluded from tout Conference !) He spoke of Meeting statements made to the Conference , of the shocking state of the working class of Paisley and J 4 aaeaester . < "Wky were not John Duncan and Lloyd Joueaallowedto gWein their « affecting statements " , of the " shocking state » f the working -class" m Daadee and London !)

      the disease acknowledged !) And cowamiea by cauing upon his hearers to agitate , until the poor man s rights were not only acknowledged , trat granted and secured . ( Be assured , most Rev . Sir , « oiwe « e determined , to do . ) The resolution was then put by the Chairman , with breathless baste , fearing there might be some opposition , and declared by him to be unanimously carried . Mr . Bailey , CaMmst Minister , mered the second resolution , which was a mere echo of the first . In its support ae delivered a lengthy aod eloquent speech . Pity it i « that his abilities should be devoted to the furtherance of the schemes -of a vile faction , instead of the vindication and upholding of the universal rights of man . He lashed the Church Parsons and Wesleyan Preachers , &nd for the latter was hissed by a considerable number

      answered by the cheers of his friends . , Ia the course of M 3 address , he gave atteranee to the following democratic remark , — " Kings were made for the people , —laws were made for the people , —no section of the oommunifcy ought to be the masters of society . " ( True , Mr . Bailey , most true ; but be consistent . Leave tha ranks of the ** plundering few , " aad join the . plundered many in their struggle for the power to right themselves . ) A Rer . Mr . Davis seconded the resolution . He delivered a rambling tale about " cheap bread , high wages , and plenty to do , " closely interlarded with Scriptural quotations . The speech of Mr . Bailey had , we fancied , affected the nerves of the Rev . Gentleman , for he earnestly begged of his bearers not to be misled by

      t any appeals to their passions ; on no account to ' think of appealing to physical force ; and to be sure I not to abandon the Anti-Corn Law agitation for I any agitation for erganio charges . He woand up with some trash about our lovely and beautiful Queen * and argued that a repeal of the Corn Laws ! was now all but certain , seeing that the aforesaid lovely lady had appointed the Rsv . Baptist Noel : one of her Ch&plains ! The resolution having becH carried , a Mr . Rhodes moved a resolution approving ' of the acts of the Conference , aud awarding the thanks of the meeting to the Ministers who had addressed them that evening . The resolution being seconded , was abost to be put , when Mr . Harney , 1 who spoke from the gallery , said he had a question

      10 ask before the resolution was put to the meeting . Tae Chairman could not hear Mr . H . though he certainly did not speak in the lowest tone ; Mr . H . however succeeded in making him hear , when Mr . ilu-r .-aid something to the Chairman ; upon \ yhich , ia spite of Mr . Harney ' s opposition , the Chairman pm the resolution , aud deeJared it earried . Mr . Haruey insisted on puuhig his question , and wa 3 met , as mi ^ ht be expected , 1 > y the uproarious opposition of the saint ? , who , however much they may be in love with " free tmde , " are cerioicly 110 friends to " free ciscustiun . " At length Mr . H , was heard . The question he had to put to the llev . O » nlleman was , When Ministers of all denominations \ v » rc inviftd to attend the Ccnft-reDce , why were ceri ^ in

      persons excluded , gentlemen w > io wore duly accredited a < ministers of vhe conp-e ^ auons who l : ad sent them to -Manchester ? ( Cheers and uproar . ) Tho Rev . Mr .

      ELECTION PROCEEDINGS AT BRADFORD . We stated in our last the steps that had been taken by the Chartists at this place , in connection with the coming election . Since then the Tories have regularly unkennelled their fox in the person of Mr . Wm . Wilberforoe , whose only recommendations are that be is a Tory , and that his father once represented Yorkshire , it was anaouaoed that he would address the electors at the Odd FcIIowb' Hall , on Monday night ; the admission , of course , was by ticket , and the audience might probably comprise from seven hundred to eight hundred . Mr . Wilbeiforce avowed hiB enmity to the New Poor Law , and his opposition to a free trade in corn . Amongst the usual topics of a Tory speech , he gave utterance to the following passage : —

      " I began by saying I am s Conservative . As such , gentlemen , I oppose the present ministry—as « uch I oppose the Whigs—as such I differ from the Radicals —and as such . I disapprove of the Chartists . I think it right to make this distinct explanation , because I do not wish to owe the support of a single man to a false impression . It is , as I said before , the trttih which will outlast ub all , and by this wo will stand or fall . But , gentlemen , having said this , I really must go on to say that 1 draw a very great distinction betwixt the Whigs , the Radicals , and the Chartists . I look upon the Whigs as a pirty as di&honest ( Hear , hear , and applause . ) I am very sorry if 1 give pain to any body , but I have

      been taught to call things plainly by plain names . iHear , hear , and applause . ) I look upon Radicals as very mischievous and mistaken men , but a great deal more honest than the Whigs , { laughter and ajspiausa ) And I look upon the Chartists , in their origin , and In the history of their career , as the deluded victims of Whig deception—( cheers )—suffering , justly when they break the laws , and therefore , while I pity them I must condemn , but led to the briufc of the precipice ami ignorantly into the breach of the law by those wlie iiianitely more dtserve the penalties which thty bave inflicted upon th 9 : r own uuhippy victims .

      His address occupied about an hour , and bis friend seemed quite satisfied . Mr . buafeild ' ti party remained quiet . The only step they have taken , of any importance , is to announce that , cue of respect ibrthe memory of Mr . Lister , their kte representative , they will conduct the present election " withuut flags , banners , or mu .-ic 1 " The plain English of this is , that their Jass election bills are jet unpaid , and , in consequence , their ibgB are iu pawn , and music can no junger be had on tick . As a party , thd Bradford Whigs are defunct , ; they are divided amoivgst themseiw . s ; they are wor ^ e than the dog in tho manger , 1 They ciiuioi carry the el < . c ; iun themselves , aud they ! will not assUi the only party , by un ' , 011 with whom they might return a truly liberal and g ' . uuiuo rspre-! sentative .

      The " lads , "however , are not behind hand in their proceeding- ? , 'they alao gave notice of a public meeting for Monday night—not a '" ticket meeting , ' but ono to which all might havo access—in the opeu , air . The meeting was held in front of Mr . Ibbots"n ' s shop , and comprised an audience of upwards of seven thousand—another proof , ii proof were wanting , of the importance of the Chartists as a party , and a demonstration of the iniquity of tho present election laws . In fact , tht-re can bo no doubt , that , ! tt the ekcuou take place when it n : ay , lee who will be Tetmied by law . Colonel Thompson will bo the choice of a vast majority oi the inhabitants .

      2 n < i . Breauso a general meeting of the inhabitants of th- ± borough . wouM contain mas . y who have an iiitsrtitaltogfctber distinct from and adverse to the question to be imbmitted to thtir decisionj aud yet by voting on tbe question they might materially advance thfcir own iulorest to tbe tiutnuitnt of all other parties . 31 . Because tbe prt » i- « t imperfect list of voters being tbe ultimate body to which the appeal must be rua . de , tbe rtal points to be ascertaineii , viz . which of tlio Liberal caiuiiditfcs possessed tbe greatest amount of electoral strength , would not be tliEcoTered by the proposed meeting , and , however valuable and influential such an expression of public opinion might ba with many electors , it is feared that its moral iLiiuence on the macs of tbe prtsent voters would be imnerceptiWe .

      4 th . Brcause the p ' aa proposed could not lead to a satisfactory adjustment of the difficulty , inasmuch as tbe public are divided into three great political parties or classes , and , therefore , at a general meeting of the three classes , that which was most numerous might be swamped by the union of the other two . W bother this result took place or not , seeing it is possible , there vrould remain ample greund of complaint and dissatisfaction , which it is most desirable to avoid . 5 th . In conclusion , the committee for conducting Mr . Busfield ' s election , caunot forbear from expressing their sincere regret , that anything like class interests should be allowed to exist between thtm and the patty

      they adaress , seeing they advocate many important political changes in cotumun , and are all aiming after tbe tame object—good and just government It tuust be apparent that none of these changes can be effected by estrangement , but much may be done by union . The only wise course at tho present juncture and under tLe pittent circumstances of tho registration , is to combine in support of the man who will Becurethe greatfc&t number of -votes ; then to watch tho registration , aad place aa many as possible , on the list of voters ; then it niay be practicable to procure thu return of men , whose principles are more in accordar . ee with the wishes of tbe great body of Reformers .

      WALTER Exiey , Chairman . Thus ended the negotiation with the Whigs ; and it remained for the ineo : ing to determine whether they would be ridden ovur rough-shod , or whether they would have a representative ot their o ^ n . It was admitted , e * en by BusSeld ' s own friends , that he was not- a competent person , that , iu fact , he was a complete cypher , but they must vote for him—because he was a \ V&ig , and they had nobud j else to vote tor . So the fools will stultify themselves , and become a laughing-stock to tie country ., for lack oi moral com a ^ e to support a man whom tliey admit as superior in every rtspect , » s ad . vocalic . >? all that they themselves advocate , but who has tUo misfortune to be fifty years in a 4 vau < w of them ux iute . li-£ fcnoe , ia liberality , in talent , and iu every requisite wjiicb . is necessary to qualify & man for becoming a representative .

      The naeeting which was ihe most enthusiastic one we ever witnessed , was afterwards addressed by Mr . Wm . Martin , Mr . Alderson , Mr . Charles Connor , Mr . I&botson , and Mr . Wm . Martin of Leicester . The address of Mr . Charles * Gouaor delighted and electrified the audience , and brought forth tremendous chewe . Tbe following resolution was carried unanimously : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , Cot Thompson is the most proper jwrwrn to supply the vacancy > ccarred in the representation ot this borough in

      Parliament ; and that the electors And non-electors present » t this meeting pledge themselves to use every exertion to sfccure Col . Thompsons rotnrn . " In proposing a Tote of thanka to the Chairman , Mr . Connor stated that a letter had been received from York , announcing that-O'Connor had received an order for his liberation , C-nd that he would come out of the Castle on Monday next . This waa received with tremendons cht ^ e / B i aud caused an excitement and pleasurable eivotioa amengst the numeiens assembly , which it would have done Whig good 10 have witnessed .

      It ia rather sarprismft that the Whig prints are silent upon these important internewsj and carefully a ^ oid letting out the fact of their going " cap in hand " , to crave Chartist assistance who , too wide awake' to be caught with chaff by the Corn Law repealers , whilst they were willing-to listen to any sound and fair proposition , very properly discarded the empty promises of their deceitful friends . Verily , the Whigs are in a lair way by their perrerse obstinacy to conTert the important horough of Bradford into a close Tory corporation , to be opened only by the enchanting key of Chartism .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS , Thursday . The Speaker took the Chair at a Quarter before Four o ' clock . Mr . T . Duncombs presented thirteen petitions from Northampton , complaining of the constitution of the present House of Commons , and praying her Majesty to dissolve the Parliament , and command anotherto be elected by Universal Suffrage . Also a petition from Sroedway , complaining of distress , aad praying tbe House to address her Majesty , begging of her to call men of Radical principles to her Councils . The Hon . Member ako presented a petition from two working men at Norwich , complaining of certain proceedings at the last election for that city , and praving the House to institute an inquiry into the mal-practices of whicn the pefcititioners complained , and to give them such redres 3 as it should think proper . Mr . Wallace moved for certain returns relative to the Post-office ; and also gave notice of a motion relative to the appointment of a successor to the present Postmaster-General . Mr . Ainsworth moved for certain returns of the number of stamps used for newepapera .

      CASE OF MR . M LEOD . Mr . Roebuck , rose and said , that seeing the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs in his place , he would with the permission of the House proceed to ask the Noble Lord certain questions , of which he had given notice on the first night of the session , respecting the present relations between this country and America with respect to the detention of Mr . M'Leod . Hi $ object in putting these questions was as far as possible to promote peace , and to obtain lhat end he would suggest that before they cam © to auy conclusion , Hon . M < mbors should understand the question of our relations with tho United State ? . The question , or rather qiiestious ho was about to put were five in number and

      related entirely to tho detention of Mr . M'Leod . What he wanted to know of the Noblo Lord was , wnether there had been any change in tho language of the United States Government since the accession of a new Government to power ? First , he Tfi&hed to know whether her Majesty ' s Government by any formal decfaracroa had assumed ai the responsibility of the attack on the Caroline , and then he wantea to know wheihirthe Government of tho United States had admitted that , responsibility , and demanded reparation for the outrage and injury thus done to the United State ? , because it should bo always recollected that if they demanded reparation for tlie . iiijury done to the United States by that attack , it did not lie wi ' . h them to turn round aud say , that New York was tho only power that had jurisdiction in that matter . Nest , he wi&hud to a ^ . t whether her Majesty ' s

      Government had stated to the Government of the United States in tho case of M'Leod that he had acted under the commands of superior officers with the express sanction of her Majesty ? Fourthly , he wanted to ask whether her Mo Jessy ' s Government had demanded of tho Government of tho United S . ates whoiher after such declaration 't was able , and at the same time willing , to guarantee the safety and liberation of Mr . M'Luod , nowifchsi . 'indiBg any detormiuauon of tho St , u . to of . New York 10 go on with the proceedings now p ; -. ndii > # in the Courts of that State against that gentleman ; and , kisily , he t-hould ftsk it' the Govejnmcnttif the United S : ates admitted the validity of Mich authority a-3 a protection ovor M'Lfod , and if having to admitted it , if the Noblo Lord tho Secretary lor Fo . r .-ign Affairs could state any eircua . iita . nce which justified tho continued 'detewion of Mr . ATLeod by me authority of the SLa , . a of Now York .

      Lord PaljiI ' . hston said tl : a . ho would bo the last man m tho Houso in any way to cirta'l whatever information he nii ^ ht be able to /; ivo ou any subjoct . However , he fe . U himself bound to remark that tho proceedings on the . part of the Hon . Member * ho had juot down , wore somewhat'irregular . He was sum the House would say , that if questions upon an emergency of great d fiiculty wore preceded by a sort of narrative oi transactions to which thoy related , and interspersed with interrogations , it became very difficult for the person who was to answer thodo interrogations , to refrain from going at length into tho subjoct to which the ^ e questions referred , and thus , under tho farm ofa-s-king a question , a debate uiight be brought on , involving topics of groat national importance . ( Hear , hear . ) It was quito true , that upon the first demand made by her Majesty's Government for the liberation

      of Air . M'Leod , un answer was returned by the late Secretary of St-ate in America , which was by 1 : 0 means satisfactory . But although the first reply was , as ho thought , entirely wrong a-3 a principle ot international law , yet ho hsd the satisfaction to iiit ' orm the Hon . Member anil tho Honse , that 11 cm the present Govcrument of the United States a communication had been received , of a formal instruction given to the Attorney-Gaueral of the United Spates , which contained doctrine ^ perfectly just and consistent with the law of nations , ai : d ps , rfi . ctly in accortiar . co with tho principles upon which tint Briiish Government had demanded tha release of Mr . M'Lsod . He ( Lord Palmer 3 ton ) would not tntev now into any statement or speculation as to what was to come . He would netanticipate what step the United States would taka * to enrry oat tho 3 e principles Of international law which Federal Governments had recognised .

      Petitions were presented against the returns for the town of Balfa-a and tho borough of Lwes . The petitions were ordered to lie upon tho table . The adjourned debate on the address was resumed by Lord Sandon , who contended that the late Parliament had not been dissolved upon tho questiou oi the import duties , but rather upon the want of confidence in tho general policy of Minister ? . Mr . M . Gibson , in supporting tho address , deprecated the ceurse which is was said the Hon . Gentlemen on the other side meant to pursue , for it would be showing a want of respect to the country to decline the , discussion of questions of such vital importance to its best interests ; and it would be said that the Right Hon . Baronet ( Sir R . Peel ) had given instructions to his supporters not to speak upon them , lest the country should get an idea what it had to expect should the Conservatives accede to

      power . Mr . Borthwjck supported the amendment . Mr . W . S . O'BiUEN defended the couduofc of the Government , and declared his intention , asan Irish Member , anxious to declare the gratitude of his country to the present Ministry for nearly the whole of their conduct towards Ireland , to oppose tho amendment . Col . SiBTHonr congratulated the House and tho country that the period had at last arrived when the present Ministry wero about to meet the reward of all their vices and misdeeds , and to be drummed out of their seats to a tune which the forms of the house presented him from more forcibly alluding to . ( A laugh . ) Mr . Powkh . advocated the gradual modification of restrictive duties , aad supported the address .

      Mr . E . Turner contended that the house could never hope for a more favourable opportunity of settling tho question of the Com Laws favourably to the landed interests . He did not know that a fixed duty would give the people cheap bread , but he felt quite sure it would give them bread when they required it . Mr . Escorr did not consider it ri ^ ht to enter on the consideration of questions of vital interest to the country , while he perceived a Miuistry persevering in holding office iu defiance of Parliament and the Constitution . The Hon . Gentleman asserted that Ministers had committed the Sovereign by a « ourse of conduct for which no parallel could be found in the annals of tlie country for a period of two hsadred years . He then expressed his confidence in Sir R . Peel , and « aid that he would feel proud to support him should lie ( the Rt . Hon . Baronet ) bo called by his Sovereign to the administration of the affairs of the nation . ¦

      The CHAXcysLLO ' ii of the Excebq , uer said that an appeal had been made to the country on the questions of the Corn , Sugar , and Timber Duties , and yet , on the very first discussion of these questions , it was attempted to be said that they had no right to discuss them while the present Ministry remained in office—a doctrine which , he must say , he then heard for the first time . He thought tfcat , Honourable Gentlemen on th « other side of the house had a right to briHg the question of" Who was to govern ? ' ' to the very earliest possible- decision ; but he thought it neither consistent with wisdom nor good policy to pursue the course of silence they had adopted , and to Jeare the country in the datct as to what w £ ye their intentions or opinions upon those great questions which agitated the whole kingdom .

      Mr , GouLBunN said it was not his intention to have addressed the house , because the question before it was of so plain and simple a , character that it was

      Untitled Article

      perfectly understood both in and ' ool of doors . The Right Hon . tSentleman , in conclusion , said , that the Ministry were not then upon their trial , for they had been tried in the last Parliament » nd found guilty ; they subsequently appealed to a higher tribunal , the constituency of the country , and the verdict had been ooufirmed . They were now therefore sittin £ to heat judgment passed upon them , and that judgment would compel them to give up the administration of the affairs of the country . ( Cheers , ) — MhWaklky Baid that the present Government bad not lost his confidence , for they had never po 3 » eessedit . ( A lau « h . ) He had supported them as the best he could find , and now that they were leaving , ho feared the Radical party would have no

      reason to congratulate themselves on tho accession to power of the Right Hon . Baronet . The errors of the present Government were enormous .. He prescribed for them in 1837 , aad without waiting for a fee . ( Cheers . ) He crescribed only three small powders , but they would not take them . ( Great liughter .. ) And now . he would like to know how they liked the 360 bitter pills they had got opposite to hem . ( Roars of laughter ) . The Right Hon . Baronet should receive aa hearty support from him , if his measures were good , as if they emanated from the most confirmed Radical . The Right Hon . Bart , had great capacity—he was a man of great ability He knew mote of his capacity than most xaen , for he

      had made a phrenological survey of his head . He had great ability , and he had also the power do good xo the country , and he sincerely hoped he would not suffer himself to be influenced to refrain from so doing . The Hon . Gentleman entreated the Right Hon . Baronet to take into his benevolent consideration the Poor Law Amendment Bill , which was the most objectionable law that had ever been enacted by Parliament—a law which was based in tyrauuy , and marked by cruelty la Us operation . This was the law which destroyed the present Government , and it would destroy any future Government which might attempt to maintain it . ( Cheers . ) ¦ _ ., The debate was then adjoarned until Friday .

The prosecutor had been engaged till a late hour on Saturday night , and all the public-bouses being closed he was looking for lodgings , when he met the prisoner , who offered to find him lodgings at the "Yorkshire . " He went with hira , and instead of going to the Yorkshire , he took him to a house of ill fame , where Bartle sat him down , and being fatigued he soon fell asleep . Crowther soon took advantage of this , and cut his pocket off , which contained some two or three . shilliuftt tho prosecutor awoke aud caught him in the act . lie was committed for trial . Bartle had upwards of £ 20 in another pocket .

Smith , and seconded by Mr . dimming , " That it is the opinion of tho Cornaiisskmers that no person should be refused permission to exhort in tlie Vicar ' s Croft on the Sabbath c * ay , so long aa thoy kf-pt the peace . " Some discussion arose in a conversational tone , the main ground takeu by the supporters of the resolution being that of universal toleration . Mr . Sellers said that the Free Market

      committee were as desirous of universal toleration as any of their brethren could bo , but they had reeomiriencfcd that the market should ho closed on Sundays at the request and for the sake of parties who resided in the vieiniry of the market . The Cnairnian said he did not think that any complaint had been made by any pM-t ^ us rc-iding round tho Croft ; whatever complaints might have been made to ths Mayor , he believed natie had readied the Commissioners . — Eventually the resolution was remodelled as follows : — " That the Commissioners will not interfere topreveur any preaching or exhorting in the Vicar ' s Croft on the Lord ' s day . " The C : iairina ^ i having put ii to the vote , five hands were held up for it , and none a ^ a'iist it , and the Chairman declared it carried unatiimousiy . The meeting tlun broke up .

The coachman , however , insisted upon leaving the party , and , at last persuaded the landlord to goto the coach to hand them out ; he , thinking they might bo some relatives that had come to spend a fow days during the appro aching feaat , was very much surprised on opening the door of the coach to behold , instead of gentlemen and ladies , four very fine young pigs , which had been sent as a present by a friend .

      Hull Corn Market , Tuesday , Adgust 24 . —FroJa the date of my last Tuesday ' s report up to Saturday the weather was uninterruptedly fine , and eyerv . thing that could be desired for rapidly maturing tie coming harvest ; since then the weather has been broken with partial showers , but nothing of consequence to prevent cutting , which will , during the present week , be very general round this" neighbourhood , and the general report of the farmers is more promising than might have been anticipated frou the previously long bad weather . The corn tradhaa been very languid , and but a very limited business passing during the week , especially for thai under bond , which may be noted fully 4 s . per quartet lower on the few salea made . The ttack of fat Wheat is so far reduced , that had we not a few ear .

      goes of South Wheat , duty mjist have been on pan of the foreign to supply the millers' weekly demaai LoJfco . Y Corn Exchange , August 23 hd . —A moderate quantity of Wheat wa 3 on sale this morning from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk ; and there was v limited supply , of Barley , Bean 3 , and Peas from a . ] these counties . A few vessels with Oats from Ireland aud our own coast have arrived for this day ' s market , and the imports of foreign grata sinca tUU day Ee ' nnight have been to a fair extent . Tiw weather , during all the past week , proved fiyourab ! e ; Thursday and Friday the sun shone brilliantly these proving splendid harvest-days : but unfortunately a change has taken plaie , rain having set iu last niglit , and continued up to seven o ' clock this

      morning , and ia distant parts of the country particularlarly in Scotland , the weather ha' been unsettled . Many samples of new Whta ; were iatte supply from Essex this morning , which must be considered much inferior in quality to the old , and our millers purchased them very reluctantly ; tbe average weight will be 3 ' . b . to 4 lb . per bushel under that uf last year : prices were very various , from GOs . to 7 k per quarter as in quality and condition , picked samples rather more , and the trade for such must lie quoted on the whole very dull . This niay be considered the opening market for new ; ciioko old commanded a fair steady demand at about the ratestf this day ee'nnight , and tho host parcels of free foreign realised nearly as much more . There wu iiot much parsing in bonded Wheat , few uressinj

      sellers , however , were to be found , from theiuferwi quality of the new iiiducin # them to look fora great dtmand for the old so soon as it has a ' . l ken liberated . Town-made Flour cannot :: ow b 8 considered over Cos . per sack , and ship samples were Is . to ' 2-. per -sack cheaper in consequence . Good Barley me ; a free sale at rather higher rates . Mali was fully as dear , with a stt-ady sale . Prime old Beans were taken off to a lair extent , at rather more money ! New Peas mot a slew sale at a decline of Is . p « quarter . There v , as only a moderate trarie in Oat ; and the cumncy cf last Monday was n . cc ! e feral flue corn . Liusred was fully as dear , awi in fair request . The'demand-for ftspeseed continues to bu limited to the merest retail for seedimtH—prices tzupAt' -rcd .
