Foniw , bt a Militia Offices , at Richmond , ScRRer . —During the last four or five days , a strong feeling of excitement has prevailed throughout the neighbourhood of Richmond , Surrey , in consequence of the discovery of most extensive embezzlements , and Beveral acts of forgery having been committed in the management of the funds deposited in the Richmond Savings Bank . It appears from the inquiries which have been instituted into the matter , that the delinquent is a Captain Belstead , the Secretary of the Institution , a gentleman highly connected , who , besides holding other appointments , is a Captain in the Surrey Militia , and who has hitherto maintained the highest ekaracter for probity and
gentlemanly ooadnet .

In order to allay the excitement occasioned by the defalcations , the trustees of the savings bank have issued a number of placards , assuring the depositors that their demands will be met with promptness , and pledging themselves to make good the Tariooj sums abstracted bj the secretary .

A Candid Confession . —Among the traditions of Westminster Hail is one of a certain Sejcarit Davy , who flourished some centuries back in a durker age than the pre ? ent . He was accused , od . co upon a time , by his brethren of the coif , of having degraded their order by taking from a client a fee in copper , and on being solemnly arraigned for his offence in their Common Hall , it appears , from theuuwritten reports of the Court of Common Pleas , that he defended himself by the following plea , confession , snd avoidance : — " I fully admit that I took a fie from him in copper , and not only one , but several , wid not ouly fees in copper , but fees in silver , but 1 pledge my honour , as a serjeant , that I never took a single fee from him in silver until 1 had got all his gold , acd that I never took a single fee fiom Mm in copper until I had got all his silver—and you don't call that a rirffrai ' . ation of our order .

Mvfterious Case at Duckmanton . — -On Friday , lha adjour . " ed inquest , with regard to the poisoning of the family of Coopers , at Dackmanton , took place before Mr . Hutchinson , at the Wbite Swan . The body of the elder Cooper having been exhumed , the Burgeons proceeded to analyse the contents of the stomach , and much interest has been felt to learn the result . The facts of the eaBe are these : —Th 6 moth-r sent a girl , of eleven years of age , for a stone of fi" > ur . No one touched the iiour which she had in her ba £ , and the mother makes that same fljurimo paste on the following day . She makes a dumpling , and the three individuals who partook of it were immediately taken ill . She then ma . de 6 omehotcakes , and the inree men who partook of them were suddenly tak « -niiJ , but some of the cakes left were eaten by some of the attendants of the i-uffererers , who sat np with
them , and no bad effects were produced on them . The old man died , but the other sufferers got ra-. her better , and two of them , during the illness of the father , went to Mr . Thorp ' s , a , distance of two miles , for medicine and advice . They were again seriously attacked . The ? on , who is wors 8 at pn-senJ , was enabled to walk about for a fortnight , and looked like a per .-oii who had had a long illness , and again grow 3 suddenly ill . The family still labour under the effects of the disease , although it is now uiue weeks bince this occurrence took place . After hearing the evidence of Mr . Thorpe , of Siaveley , and Mrs . Mary Cooper , the jury returned a verdict that " From the evidence before them the deceased had died by poison , but thej cannot tell by whom the poison was administered . ' " '—Derbyshire Chronicle .
Si . vgular Wager . —The occe celebrated Duke of Qateiisbury , of sporting notoriety , was in the habit of makiDg the most extraordinary bets . On one occasion he heard that there was a man resident iu Norfolk who could eat at cue fitting , a most enormous meal , sufficient to satisfy the appetites of forty ordinary men . The Duke had the man up to town , and betted a large s-um of monej that he would find a per ; -on who would be able to eat more than the Norfolk glutton . In a short time he found his man . The beligerent parties , with their respective friends , met at an hotel , where a superfluity of dishes were provided . The table groaned beneath the weight of roast and boiled turkeys , geese , legs of mutton , and rounds of beef . At a given signal two men commenced eatine : the Duko was present at the
commencement of the engagement , and dire was the slaughter—shoulders of mutton , roast ducks , and boiled Jowls disappeared as if by magic . The Duke at last deciared that the sight was too disgusting for him to witness , and he therefore propped to retire into an adjoining room , giving instructions that a person should occasionally come to him and report progress . After the lapse of some time a friend of the Duke rushed into the room where ho was waiting the issue of the conflict , and exclaimed , with , a Joud voice , " My Lord Duke , my Lord Duke , I congratulate you ; it is all right ; your man is winning . " — " What do you mean V asked the Duke . — " Why , my Lord , your man is three roast geese , and four boiled legs of mutton a-head of t'other chap . "— F . Winslou ' s" Health of Body and Mind "

SALECITH . —Disgusting and Bj-ctal Condcct of a Policeman . —The people here were completely disgusted on leaving church on Sunday last , at the savage conduct of a rural police reptile . A poor feilow the worse for liquor , was seized by the official , in order to be conveyed to the stationhouse ; the man was not willing to go , when the policeman caught him round the waist , and by nib violence tore the but tons off his small-clothes , and his shirt from his back , so that his person was exposed from his breast downwards . The brute ofapolieeman had a dog with him , who continually kept jumping upon the man and tearing his flesh ! To that degree was the poor fellow bitten by the dog , that blood was streaming from bis thigh , his hands , and breast ! and once the dog caught the man by the throat ; and if he had n ? t had on a strong handkerchief and a pad , his life would have been in danger . This scene was enacted in the open street on the Sabbath day , in the presence of scores of people of both sexes ; and this is a Christian country ! a land of humanity and Bibles!— Correspondent .
HEEDB . —Chartism xav thk Corn Laws . —On Wednesday evening last , Mr , James Leach , of Manohester , delivered an able and very interesting lecture , on this subject , in the large room of the Commercial-buildingi , to a numerous auditory , composed not only of working men , but embodying a large portion of the middle classes , who listened with great attention to the lecturer ' s statements . The meeting was called at a very short notict , the placards announcing it having only been issued on the morning of the same day . Mr . Leach , en entering the room .
waa loudly cheered . Mr . Joshua Hobson was called to the chair , and briefly addressed the meeting . The Lecturer , on rising was again greeted with raptor oos cheering . He commenced by enunciating the circumstances under which the meeting was called , and the principles they were met to hear propounded , la the first place he referred to the causes which had led to the present depressed condition of the people ; and enqnired why , if H extension of eommeree " would so greatly ameliorate this condition , the present distress should at all exist , seeing
Untitled Article
that already trade had been pushed into every coiner of the globe , and into every channel where it could be pushed , and yet the population were suffering . Mr . Leach then referred to machinery , and proceeded to show that he was not an enemy to it , but only to the mode in which it was at present managed—and the enormous reductions which it had oaused to be made in the wages of the operatives . He denied that extension of commerce would lead to the results which the free traders had aaid would arise from it ; and also that commercial prosperity would arise from the cheapness of food , consequent upon an exchange of English goods for foreign grown oorn . He instanced the fact , that , on Peel ' s tariff coming out , a manufacturer went to
his works and told his hands that they were going to have bacon cheap , and showed his sympathy for them by reducing their wages at once twopence per cut . The lowering the price of provisions would not put it into the power of the people to purchase ; because , let food bo ever so cheap , if the people had not the money to purchase with , it was still too dear for thfm . The average wages of the "League" mill proprietors in Manchester was at present , on an average , 4 s . 3 d . per week ; and whilst they were in the habit of giving a workman all sorts of filth to work , he was expected to carry in an excellent article , or be subject to deductions even from this paltry pittance .
The home trade , he contended , would , if properly encouraged , givo employment to all ; because if tho whole people in England , Ireland , aud Scotland were in a situation to purchase even the necessary articles of wearing apparel , the demand for labour would be such as to find employment for all . He showed by official documents that the inoreape of exports of manufactured jjoods had not brought inGreased prosperity in its train , for « 8 our exports of manufactured goods had gone on increasing ( and they had been greater within the last five years than thpy ever were before . ) in the , same proportion were the earnings of the operative classes reduced . Mr . Lrach then contrasted , in an admirable manner , the difference between the comforts and
conveniences of good old fashioned houses , which used to be commodious , well fitted , and furbished , with thoFe built at the present day , with scarcely room to store the potatoes which used to be grown by the working people of bye-eone times . He drew abroad distinction between what its advocates called freetrade , and what he would set down as fair trade ; and entered into the expenses which must be incurled by importing food into this country , amongst which the largest bite out of the foreign loaf was taken by the national debt , which took 18 pounds of bread from every family every week , or 29 millions a year out of the pockets of the people ; and which said national debt he looked upon as a complete farce , for if the nation owed nothing to anybody
but itself , it was in the same position as a man who owed himself a shilliDtf , and which was nothing to anybody ; it waa a thing contracted without the consent of the people , and was an incubus on the energies of tho ppople . He would not tako away from any one the interest legally their due ; but he contended that the Jew jobbers had received more than they wore in justice entitled to , and tho debt itself had bren completely paid off . He then referred to the advanfagea derived by those who had fixed incomes from the taxes , who had reaped every advantage from the cheapening of the commodities produced by labour , while , with cheapness of provisions wages had been lowered , and the producers of all wealth were deprived of
the opportunity oF purchasing their own productions . The English manufacturers had been valued by a geologist , Fome years ago , who told them that America would never be able to compete with them , because she had not the raw material ; she had neither coal nor iron , and the cost of getting them from England , and working them in America , would be too expensive for them . But he could tell them that it was a fact , that in America now they had immense areas of coal , from five to seven feet thick , and numerous furnaces smelting iron of their own producing , not what they had imported from England . He was no geologist himself , and he did not know whether these beds of coal had grown in America within these few years ; he only knew
that there it was , from five to seven feet thick , while our own poor colliers , were grubbing in the bowels of the earth , in a space not exceeding in most case twenty-two inches . The lecturer then referred to the operations of foreign tariffs , and went at some length into arguments to show that England was surrounded by monopolist nations , who had begun manufacturing , and who would not give it up for the sake of growing corn for us . To the monc poly of the soil he ascribed a great portion of the evil , which like the monopoly of machinery , had thrown a redundancy of hands into the labour market , and prevented its employment at any thing like remunerating price . ) , because flesh and blood could not compete with wood and iron .
Mr . Leach ihon wont into the enquiry what it was that would cure the dreadful state of things to which this country had been reduced . It was not free trade that would provide the remedy . If any country , he cared not what , wished to lay the foundation of prosperity , they must lay it on their own shores , and not be dependent on foreign trade for employment for the working population . If foreign trade was wanted in this country why not look to poor neglected Ireland , where five millions of poor naked people were deprived of the means of purchasing by the very means which were preying upon the very vitals of the people of England —a circumstance which would be muoh altered if Ireland was situated in the Mediterranean , and the
cry could be raised , " Oh here are five millions who would take our goods if we could only have freetrade . " It was not foreign competition which was ruining England , it was home competition ; for the manufacturers had so beaten one another down in their profits , by underselling in the market , that there was at last nothing for them to fall back upon but the workmen ' s wages which had been , by degrees , so reduced , that it was now much worse than ever it was before , for 5 s . taken from a man when he was earning 25 s . per week was not so much felt as at present , when a man earns only 7 s ., and 6 d . was taken from it . He showed what party had alone gained by the introduction of machinery ; and that , though Leeds was
now producing a greater amount of wealth than all England did seventy-five years ago , yet its manufacturing population were in proportion as much more miserable , —an inevitable result of the misapplication of the powers of machinery . A fair distribution of those powers was the only remedy for all those evils ; and it was only by going to the root of the evil at once—by abolishing class legislation—that the present condition of the people could be ameliorated . It was only by the people demanding—and not being satisfied until they got it—a voice in the making of the laws by which they are to be governed ; and until the voice of the people was heard within the pale of the Constitution , there never could be a day when the people could be happy , and
when freedom , which was their birthright , would be won for them . Mr . L . was frequently interrupted by the plaudits of the assembly , and resumed his seat at half past nine o ' clock , amidst loud cheers . The Chairman then inquired if any gentleman present wished to dispute the lecturer ' s position ; it' there were any one present , and would come forward , he would guarantee them a fair hearing . After waitinh a few minutes and no ono appearing , Mr . Hobson delivered a short address , after which Mr . Edward King , share-broker , wished to ask Mr . Leach a few questions . He advanced to the platform , and a short discussion took place , the views of the two gentlemen very nearly assimulated ; and Mr . King in the
end said he believed they were perfectly agreed on ono point , namely , that it was bad , corrupt , class-legislation—the legislation of the few—which had produced the evils under which the people were suffering , and until this was altered that no remedy would effectually restore the people to happiness and freedom . Mr . King was the only one of the "League" who , out of the immense number present , had the moral courage to stand up and endeavour , iu some degree , to shield the free-trade party from the whackiug they had received . Thanks were then vjted to the Lecturer and Chairman , and to Mr . King , for his gentemanly conduct , and the meeting broke up soon alter eleven o ' clock .
A Wholesale Thief at Leebs . —An old man who has nearly seen his three-score years and ten , named Isaac Robinson , on Monday last , underwent a final examination before the magistrates at the Court-house , on two charges of felony ; and the search of his premises , consequent on his apprehension , has brought to light tho fact , that for some very considerable period he has been hoarding together stolen property of almost every description , without the slightest suspicion ever having attached to him . Twenty years ago , he was one of the guardians of the night under the old regime , and siiiee his discharge from the " force , " has ostensibly ( at least for some years ) got his living by gathering horse dung . He has resided in a house of his owa
in Little Queen-street , and there is scarcely a timber merchant , joiner , stone maeon , or bricklayer , within any reasonable distance of this man ' s dwelling , who has not at one time or another missed property from his premises without being able to tell how it had gone . It happened last week , however , that . accident led to a result little anticipated by the hoary headed " conveyancer . " Mr . Thomas Beanlftid , of Addingham , has % daughter who resides as servant in the family of Mr . Ludolf , in \ ork-place . and it being Leeds fair , the old man paid a visit to his daughter , and was solicited to take up his abode at Mr . Lkdolf 's
for the night . He did so , and on Wednesday morn-L ^ J on * ^* i ng J upat P ^ P ** h !»• drew op the bund of his bed-ruom window , and then saw an old man busy burying some planks in a small plantation opposite to the house ; he watched htm until he had done , and saw him leave the place . Imagining that all was not right , he mentioned the circumstance to the family , and , after breakfast , in walking out , he met with policeman Haigb , to whom also he communicated what he had seen . Haigh laid the oust before Mr . Read , and information having reached the police-office that some planks had been stolen from the premises of Mr . Smith , joiner , in Grace *

street , Haigh was told to go in plain .-clothes at night and watch the plantation . He did so , but nobody came near until about six o ' clock on Thursday morning , when Haigh heard two men in conversation in the plantation . Mr . Smith was there with him , and on the men soing away , he sent Mr . Smith round on the outside of the railings , and in ten m | nut ; es afterwards the prisoner was seen to approach the place with a plank which ho put ' over the Tails , and was then returning , when he was seized by Mr . Smith , and given into Haigh's custody . After having locked him up , the next step wa « to Search the plantation , and the maa ' s bouse and out-premises , when buried in the plantation were discovered upwards of twenty planks , the
whole of which Mr . Smith was able to identify ; and in the house and yard of the prisoner were found whole deals , planks , spar ? , quite new , and in great abundance , two cart loads of old wood , oak , ash , elm , &o . ; two cart loads of flags , the same of bricks , with shovels , spades , and pick-axes , hammers , wheelbarrows , cart gearing , ladders , steps , hayforks , scythes , sickles , a large m ' ash-tub f a-pair of iiew wheels , and other property to an immense amount ; nearly the whole of which turns out to have been stolen , and which can be identified by the owners ; nay , to such an extent has the prisoner carried his depredations , that it is believed the whole of the bricks and other materials of which his house is constructed have been stolen ,
as well as those of two o ; her cottages which he has in course of erection in the same . street . There was in his house three floors of planks , one upun another , laid together without nails , nearly the whole ot which Mr . Smith can speak to as having b ^ en stolen from him . Other parties , also , are hourly coming forward to put in their claim , and for the last few days tho premises have been regularly besieged by anxious claimants .

Call-lane , on Monday evening , a handsomely wrought silver snuff box was prsented to Mr . John Ulleart , Police Clerk and Inspector , as a token of the high esteem in which ho is held , and as an acknowledgement of the services which he has rendered to the order .

HUDDERSFIELD . —Hall of Science . —A public examination of the scholars , connected with this institution , took place on Sunday last , before Mr . Phillips , the superintendent , on tho following subjects : — " General objects , the atmosphere , geo graphy , and astronomy . " The examination will be continued next Sunday afternoon , at half past two , on the Cuvierian division of the animal kingdom , astrology , arithmetic , and astronomy . . CUT HERO . —Teetotalism . —Mrs . Jackson of Whitehaven , delivered two lectures on the evenings of Friday and Saturday last . Her arguments were plain , instructive , and argumentative . She entered at great length into a clever defence of teetotalism , by appropriate quotations from Holy Writ . She was listened to with the greatest attention , and we believe that many converts of both sexes , have been the result .
i LEIGH . — -It is with feelings of the most painful nature that I have to inform you , that such is the depressed Etateof the silk trade , that there are thousands in Leigh , and its surrounding districts , that are totally destitute of employment . The streets are thronged every morning with weavers who come a distance of four , six , and eight miles , using all their exertions , and straining every nerve , in order to get employment , but to no avail ; and they are compelled to return to their cheerless and hapless homes , from which they were driven in the morning by the cries of hungry children and heart-broken wives .
The privations and sufferings which the men themselves endure are visibly pourtrayed , in their pale and haggard countenances , as they are pacing the streets . The cause of this unparalleled stagnation in the silk trade , is by the weavers themselves attributed to a determination on the part of the manufacturers to force the people upon the land , and to reduce them to that state of distress and destitution , as to cause them , if possible , to join in an agitation for a repeal of the Corn Laws . But , thank God ! oppressed as they are , hungry and Btarved as they are , thoy have existing in their bosoms a spirit too noble and to manly for it . —Correspondent .
BOI . TON . —Destructive Fire . —On Tuesday morning , about one o ' clock , one of tho town ' s lamplighters discovered that a fire had broken out at the mill of Messrs . Hasleden and Co ., Spaw-lane , Bolton , and immediately gave an alarm . Several of the police officers , with Mr . Boyd , the superintendent , and others , were immediately on the spot ; and six firo engines were brought out . There are two mills in close connection with each other ; one an old mill built in 1802 , by Mr . Gregson , containing a card room , a number of power looms , aud , in tho attio , mules for spinning . The fire originated in ihe upper story at the east end of the old mill , in which twelve bags of cotton had been placed on the 14 th instant ; but no person had been employed in it for the last fortnight , on account of the proprietors taking stock ; and it was their intention to resume work on Monday next . The engines having been
brought into play , their attention became directed to the new mill , which appeared to be in great danger from the immense volumes of flame which issued from the old building . The flooring gave way alternatively with tremendous crashes ; and , at four o ' clock , the wall at the west end fell , but fortunately no one was injured . Shortly afterwards , the front wall fell down , and the entire building became a perfect ruin . The roof of the new mill was burned at the corner ; but , by strenuous exertion , the fire was prevented from entering the mill , which was saved . The cause of the fire is not not known , and its occurrence appears somewhat singular , as therehad not been any one employed init for 14 ' days , and there has not been any fire in it except that in the engine-hou > e . Tho mill was insured with the Yorkshire , the York and London , and the Atlas insurance offices at £ 5 , 000 . which will probably cover the loss . . ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' : . ¦ '¦ ' ¦ ' ¦ . - .. ¦ ¦
Fatal Coal-pit Accident . —On Monday , an inquest was held at the Hey wood ' s Arms , Oldhamroad , before Mr . Chapman , borough coroner , on the body of Daniel Eichells , of No . 6 , Back Ash-street . The deceased was fourteen \ ears old , and was iu the employ of Messrs . Porter , Walker , and Co . colliers . Early on the morning of Monday , the boy , along with two men , named Gough and Dodd , descended into a pit at Miles Flatting , in a tub ; and , when they had proceeded about seven yards down , the bottom of the tub , on which the deceased was sitting , came out , and he was precipitated to the bottom . The injuries he received were of such a nature as to cause his death almost instantaneously . The two men in the tub at the same time owed their escape to clinging to the chain to which the tub was attached . The Jury returned a verdiot of "Accidental death . "
MANCHESTER—On Saturday evening , Mr Thomas Kailton , and the other gentlemen that traversed at the late Liverpool Assizes , were seryed with an ambiguous and unmeaning notice , which rather took them by surprise , inasmuch as it called upon them to appear before her Majesty on the 15 th day of November , and this being the 12 th , at night , they knew not what to do , nor where they were to appear at . On , Monday , Mr . Pilling and another person , from Ashton , came to Manchester , they also having notice to the same effect . They had applied to an attorney at Ashton , who advised them to go
forthwith to London . In this manner were they fixed , and the lawyers of this place were ignorant ( or professed to be so ) of the nature of the notices with which they had been served . Unfortunately also , Mr . Cobbett was from home ; at length it was agreed that that gentleman ' s clerk should write to his agent in London , aud instruct him to appear in the Court ol Queen's Bench in their behalf , and enter their appearances by proxy . What is the intention on the pan of the Crown against the defendants we are at a loss to know . The following is a copy of the notice : —
" Lancashibe to Wit . —Thomas Robert Wilson France , Esq ., sheriff of the said county , to Thomas Makinaon Walsh , Martin Newton , Thomas Beawick , James lrwin , and Robert Newton , my bailiffs for the time only , greeting , —by virtue of her Majesty ' s writ to me directed , I command you and every of you , jointly and aeo&rately , that ye , or some of you , do not forbear by reason of any liberty of my bailiwick , but that you or some o * you give notice to James SchoUfield . late of Manchester / labourer ; Christopher Doyle , late of the same place / labourer ; James Leach , late of the same

The serving the men with these papers has produced a great sensation in the town , and many and various are the opinions as to the result of thia alltogether " novel procedure . Some are of opinion that the Government intend removing the trials to Londen , and others vay this is the prelude to another commission in a short time . All appear equally at a loss what to make of it , . BEVEmVETT . — "Flare-up ' with the League . —On Tuesday morning , our usually quiet town was considerably excited from the circumstance of Mr . Falvy , Leaguo lecturer , being about to hold forth in the Town Hall , and numbers assembled , it being expected that the kill-devil Chartists would offer opposition . At eight o ' clock , the building was well
filled ; and Mr . Tiger , a manufacturer , and late chief magistrate , was called to tho chair , who commenced the proceedings by denouncing all monopolies , except the monopoly in legislation—by denouncing all taxation , by consigning to perdition the national debt , and by introducing Mr . Falvy to the meeting . Mr . Falvy , in a speech of about an hours' duration , artfully dodged round the question at issue—never once venturing further than iiu borders . He treated us to dissertations upon almost every subject siive the Corn Lawi . He showed how the poor were the men who had given stability to ibe state . He maintained that gradations of society had ever existed , and took some pains to prove that the intelligence of the parent was transmitted to his offspring . He
then applied himself to a little gentle ftittery of the Whig magistrates , by contrasting the present with the late corporation , " and administered no small dose of soft sawder to tho gentleman occupying the chair . He next turned to the character and conduct of Peel , and enlightened his audience on the subject of the Corn Laws , by proving that on the Criminal Code , on tho Test and Corporation-Act , on the Income Tax and Tariff , Sir Robert had stolen the deeds of other men . He then stated the laws of property were settlod , and the League had no wish to disturb these settled laws , -hinting that there were other parties in the state who were not so ceremonious , for lately we had seen armed rebellion walking through the land in open day : and he
concluded by showing that bloody revolutions " were mver attended with beneficial results . Mr . Holliday would give credit to Mr . Falvy for ability ,- for beiug able to steer clear of the question , but pledged himself that his opponent should grapple with the question prior to his leaving the Hall . He showed from statistical returns the increase which had taken place in our manuiactures , and the decrease in the wages and comforts of the people . He adverted to the increased producing powers of machinery , and satisfactorily showed , that let the demand for our goods increase to any possible extent , it would be accompanied by a corresponding inorease of machinery power , so that n » possible ' benefit could accrue to the working classes . He adverted to the
Tar . ff , and called on Mr . Falvy to prove that this approximation to his principles had given a stimulus to trade ; or that a single head of cattle had bren paid for in manufactures . He then showed that continental powers had established , and wore fostering , their own manufactures , and free trade . had come too late ; but , as he was some times charitable , he would point them out customers in lieu of those they had lost ; for , if the people of this c ' puntr were not robbed and plundered j they would possess , means to be their own best customers ; aud , for his part , he waa averse to a single bale of cloth leaving the country , while there was a naked back requiring it at home . -Mr . Falvy , in his reply , merely . glossed over the subject ; but never , in oho instance , refuted the close reasoning of his opponent . He attempted to show that the draining of this country of gold wag beneficial to our manufacturers ! and being driven from England was compelled to take refuge
in Ireland , where , though spinning jennies -were unknown , destitution prevailed to an alarming extent . The chairman , prior to putting the question , seeing the mess in which his advocate had left it , under protest from Mr . Holliday , took upon himself the pretty difficult task of getting out of the scrape . He took great pains , amid the laughter of those on the platform , to prove that Mt . F . alvy was wrong , although he said he was right , and ended by getting himBelf into greater difficulties than hia predecessor . The question being put the infiuenceof the presence of the masters was clearly visible , for not onethird of those in the hall held up their hands on either side , and the chairman declared the decision to be in . favour of repeal . Mr . Falvy in moving a vote of thanks was free to confess that the chairman had acted wrong , but he trusted his opponent would forgive him and second the vote which was accordingly done , when the disputants separated under the promise " to meet again some other dav . "
STOUBBBIDCrE . —A Lodge of the Yorkshire Union of Ancient Free Gardeners , was opened by the officers of the Currant Lodge , assisted by the G . M . of tho Durily District , at the house of Brother Tetley , of the Furrier's Arms , High-street , Stourbridge , when a number of highly respectable individuals were initiated into the art of Gardening . The evening was spent with the greatest hilarity , and the _ company dispersed at an early hour , highly satisfied with the proceedings of the eveniug . '

AMERICA . LIVERPOOL , WEDNESDAY EVENING . The steam-ship Britannia , Captain Hewitt reached the Mersoy to day , soon after twelve o ' clock ; after an extremely boisterous passage , during the last few days of which she encountered a constant succession of heavy gales . She left BoBton on the 1 st , and Halifax on the 3 rd instant . The principal news iu the papers relates to Texas and Mexico . Both countries are preparing to strike a decisive blow . Five thousand Mexican troops had left Matamoras for Texas , while the citizens of the latter country were up in arms and rushing to the frontier to meet their assailants . In the neighbourhood of San Antonio , where a short time previously the Mexicans had
entered in triumph , a battle had taken place , and although- they out-numbered their opponents by three to one . the Mexicans retired ( " scampered" is the term used ) to a considerable distance , leaving upwards of one hundred dead on the field , and about twice that number wounded . Anxious to put a stop to this conflict , and bring about , if possible , a reconciliation between the belligerents , Mr . Webster , the American Minister for Foreign Affairs , had addressed a communication to the representative of his Government at Mexico , offering the services of the United States as a friendly power , and stating it to be the opinion of President Tyler that the war , as it relates to Mexico , was " useless and hopeless . " \
In the United States elections for members of the States Legislatures had taken place for about twothirds of the number composing the Union . The result , as far as it had gone , was generally favourable to the Looo-foco , or Democratic party—strengthening the power of the existing Federal Executive , which , although elected by the opposite party , has exhibited , since the death of Geaeral Harrison , political tendencies inimical to those professed by that functionary . The picking of the cotton crop was proceeding favourably . From Yazoo , on the Mississippi , 1 , 000 , 000 bales will , it is said , be shipped this year , being an increase on the crop of last year , which was deemed above an average crop .
A seizure had been made by the Custom-house officers at Boston , the nature of which ought to be made known in this country . A quantity of goods from Paris was shipped in the Royal Mail steamer , which touched at that port , and seized on the ground that an English vessel could not legally bring any goods except those manufactured in Great Britain . A sad " cut" to American credit was recently given at Havannah . Good private bills , at sixty days ' sight , were negociated at a premium of two per cent ., while the bills of the Federal Government , at thirty days' Bight , could only be negotiated at three per cent , discount . The rate of exchange is-very low , 106 to 106 | . The market dull , and the little doing in any of the local stocks . On France the rates were 5 f . 45 o . to to 5 f . 42 Ao .
COMMERCIAL . The prospects of husiness ara gradually improving throughout the United States . Specie payments have been resumed through all the States , except Alabama , Illinois , and Tenesgee , and even in these a change for the better is apparent . Specie is tending rapidly towards New Orleans ,. where exchange is now ten per cent , against England and France , and six per cent , against the Northern States . The effect of this is to concentrate upon New Orleans the great outlet of the West , the specie which during the last three months , has been accumulating at Boston and New York , and to attract a large amount which now lies useless in the vaults of the Banks of England and France . At New Orleans it will be applied to the purchase of the immense masses of cotton , tobacco , sugar , flour , wheat , pork , lardIndian cornand
, , other produce , rapidly tending to that great mart . After equalising the exchanges , it will move up the Mississippi , Ohio , and Missouri , and form the basis of a beautiful future business , resting on low prices » nd a specie basis . " " For this we are indebted in a great part to the new Tariff . Under the beneficial influence of this greit measure , the drain of specie for Europe , to pay for the excess of foreign imports , has been stopped . Factories long idle , have been set in motion , and nearly 200 , 000 operatives have resumed their avocations . The market for our surplus productions denied us abroad , is thus opened at home , for these operatives with their families must buy of the farmer , and this year it is expeeted Massachusetts alone will consume 600 , 000 barrels of flour raised in other States , and vast quantities of corn , pork , butter , cheese , and grain . "
Under the influence of the tariff , and the great harvests of the present year , almost unparalleled from Maine to Georgia , freights are improving , and are now higher at the great shipping ports of the bouth , than they have been for a year past .

Beef was rather higher , but Mutton was dull , at last fortuight ' d pricss .
HUDDEKSFIELD CLOTH MARKET , TlfESDAT , NOV . 22 . The market this day was as gloomy a one as has been , experisneed by some of the oldest frequenters ; there was scarce any business transacted in any kind of goods .

Newcastle Corn Market , Nov . 19 . —With a liberal supply of wheat at market this morning from the country the trade ruled dull , and before a clearance was effected a decline of Is . to 2 s . per quarter had to be submitted to on all descriptions . Foreign wheat was held with gome firmness , bud the business done was exceedingly limited . The finer qualities of Rye meet with more enquiry , but other descriptions are neglected . The arrivals of Barley keep vory moderate , nevertheless the sale is dull at our quotations . Peas meet a better demand without any alteration in value . In Beans nothing doing . Malt is a dull sale . We had only a moderate show of Oats to-day from the farmers , and they readily brought last week's prices . The sale of Fiour is exceedingly
dull . State of Trade . —The accounts of the settlement of the dispute with China , which reached this town on Monday evening , caused considerable exoitement in the market yesterday ; and , though no great amount of business was done , hiuher prices were obtained for most kinds of manufactured goods , and for some kinds of yarn suitable for the eastern markets . Indeed , the stocks of both goods and yarn are now bo exceedingly low , aud the manufacturers are bo generally working to crder , that any material increase of demand is cortain to produce a decidedly favourable effect upon the market . —Manchester Guardian , Wednesday .
Liverpool Cattle Market . —Monday , Nov . 21 . —The supply of Cattle at market to-day has been muoh the same as last week , with a little advance in price . Beef 5 d to Sid ., Mutton 5 d . to CM . per lb . Number of Cattle at market - . —Beasts 1078 , Sheep 3804 . Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Nov . 19 , —During the week the transactions in every article of the trade has been on a most limited scale , and to effect sales , factors were compelled to submit to lower rates . Contrary winds having prevailed , the imports at Liverpool and Runcorn are unimportant , and the supplies from the interior continue light . There was a very slender attendance of buyers at our market this morning , and the quotations of Wheat and Flour are nominally as on this day se ' nnight . In the value of Oats also no change can be noted ; but the business done in Oatmeal was at a decline of fully 6 d per load .
Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Nov . 21 . — In the early part of the week several parcels of Irish new Wheat arrived , but the imports of any article of tho trade have since been light . Wahave at the same time to report a languid demand gene * rally , and lower prices . All descriptions of foreign Wheat must be quoted fully 3 d ,, and Irish new 4 d , per bushel cheaper than at the close of last week , ' good runs of the latter have been sold at 69 . 4 d to 6 s . 6 d . per 701 b * .

London Smithfield Market , Monday , Nov . 21 . —By the official return of Foreign Cattle imported into London for the week ending Saturday , the 19 th instant , it appears that only four Beasts , six sheep , and twelve Pigs have paid duty during that period at the Custom-house . Besides the above , there were three Beasts from Spun , making a total of seven head only . Although of not bo good a quality as those so particularly noticed on last Monday , they wore yet superior to many that have come from that quarter , and realised from £ 14 to £ 16 each . After a long continuance of depression in the general trade of the market a revival may be this day noticed . For all kinds and quality of meat there was an improvement both in trade and price , but more
observable in Beef . The change in the weather from ' wet to cold and clear acted beneficially upon the market . The butchers were willing to purchase more extensively , and readily submitted to an advance in prices . Of horrte-bred Beasts the supply was moderate , but the general qualit y was but second rate . Those of really choice quality were willingly purchased at 43 8 d per stone , but the run of prime Scots may be quoted 43 6 d . No difficulty is experienced in disposing of very fine Beasts at equally as high a price at any time during the past year , but inferior and middling descriptions , on the contrary , the butchers will not purchase unless at reduced prices to those given before the new tariff came into operation . Good middling quality of Beef fetched 4 s 2 d , and the best middling kind 43 4 d . Inferior coarse quality may be quoted from 3 s 2 d to 39 4 d . There were more
Middlesex fed Beasts to-day , and fewer Yorkshire bred than on Monday last . Soots were scarce . A total clearance was effected before the close . Although the Mutton trade was not quite bo brisk as that for Beef , yet , from a smaller supply of Sheep and tie favourable change in the weather combined , the butchers purchased without restraint , and all sold . An advance of 4 d per stone was easily obtained foi prime old Southdowns and good eervicable meal The highest range may be quoted 4 s 6 d , and 4 s 4 d for the next best quality . The supply of Calves vf « larger to-day than for a long while past for & Monday ' s market , being upwards of 100 . They soldi however , freely at similar prices to last market daji and none remained on hand when the market closed . Pigs were fewer in number , and found a steady sale at 3 s 8 d per stoae for coarse kind , and 43 8 d for fins young meat .
London Corn-Exchange , Monday , Nov . 21 .-We received throughout last week supplies of gnx& of all descriptions fully equal to the demand , and although in some instances the arrivals were not bo large a 3 during tho week previous , still prices were in all cases with difficulty supported , and some dear criptions of Corn underwent a reduction in figures . We continue to receive supplies of Wheat from foreign parts , and the arrivals from Odessa in tho past week have equalled 4 , 040 quarters ; the doty remains at 20 s . 8 d ., but the weekly average of the
kingdom shows a decline of 2 a . per quarter ; the trade for this article has been limited , and at prices exceedingly low for even finest-qualities ' . ' ' Totbi 3 morning ' s market the supply fresh up was moderate of Wheat and most other grain , the exception being Barley , of which the arrival was abundant .
