Hoddkesfiexd . —Oa Monday morning week , the gentry of the town assembled «* riy , for the purpose of meeting their candidates at Wakefield , Carriages and horsemen continued to leave the town for several hours , amidst the cheers of numerous spectators , Lite in the evening , great numbers assembled on the Shore Head , to wait their return , and Khen the procession armed they were greeted with the most rapturous plaudits . —On Thursday morning Week , the polling for the West Riding candidates commenced in good earnest by both parties . Early in the morning a great number of vehicles rolled in in different directions , whilst numbers of them began to assemble in the Maxk » t Place , where the booths were erected . The most lively interest wa 3 evinced
by the non-electors , who formed themselves into small companies , when the respective merits of the four candidates were freely discussed . The general feeling was in favour of the Blues , in consequence f the treachery of the Whigs . As the hoar for polling approached , great numbers of electors jcarcbed into the town , with their respective colours , all confident of success . The largest procession was from Meltham , consisting of horsemen and carriages © f every variety . Daring the morning , Sir George Annytage arrived , followed by a numerous tenantry , bearing his coat of arms . The good old English feeling was richly exhibited in the smiling countenances of the whole tenantry , whose appearance was generally admired . Peace reigned triumphant ,
on til a party of Yellows , on their way home , arrived at Longroyd Bridge , when one of the party , named Samuel Ramsden ( a man generally under the patronage of the Whigs , when * little dirty work requires being doDe ) , commenced abusing all that came in his way , man , woman , and child . At length , a general attack was made . A desperate struggle followed , the combatants using sticks and stones , which continued for a full hour . During the engagement the fcridge was taken and retaken three or four time 3 ; happily , no very Bfcriou 3 iDJury was sustained . The frezi hero of the fight , we understand , was taken mto custody . On Friday morning the polling was resumed , but the Whigs appeared as though- they haA not slept , eo pallid were their cheeks . Daring
the polling , a drunken voter of the name of Paine , keeper of a beer-house , was brought up by the Yellows in a chaise , but offered his vote to the Blues . As both parties claimed him , his vote was refused , in consequence of being drunk . About four o ' oloek the Paddock bastiie nag was seen in the streets , accompanied by a band , playing the tune of " Oh ! dear , what can the matter be V This was followed by a great number of blue banners , oa which was inscribed a number of excellent mottos : the last one in the procession claimed the most attention ; it was a black fisjr , with the following very ominous inscription . —** The downfall of Whigg-ery I the people doa '; like you . " In a few minutes , not a
yellow card or ribbon was to be seen in the whole toira . At the time this procession moved by the George Inn , aa old woman had mounted a wooden Stall , and addressed a vast multitude for about half an hour , which created great animation , and kept fee people in excellent humour . All remained peaceable , and after parading the streets for a short time , the people separated , and returned home , highly delighted with ; he expected return of the Blue acdidaies . On Friday evening , a man was seen walking in the streets wiih a lanthorn and besom , for ilie purpose of finding the Whigs , and destroying all y eliow cards , lest they might get into Mr . Brook ' s dad , and . choke i : 1
Kejghlet . —The election proceedings here on last Thursday and Friday , pissed off without anything remarkable . During the forenoon of the former day , numerous bodies of electors continued to arrive from the different townships , accompanied with music and banners , and other insignia , mostly yellow . The Kiperior display of this colour wa 3 in a great measure decollated for by the preponderating influence of Whig landlords and manufacturers in this part of &e Riding . One thing , however , very evident in the midst of it was , that the popular spirit was dead to the interest of either party . The spectators surveyed the procession will cold indifference ; and from beginning to ending , not one solitary voice cried * God save Richard . " On the Friday evening , when it was ascertained that the Blue party were triumphant , the ringers found their way into the
bellehamber , and commenced ringing for the victors . This having been previously forbidden by the rec' . or , he rush : d to the door of the belfry to stop the misehief , bat all in vain ; the ringers having locked the door to prevent interruption , and his appeals for entrance were only answered by the peals of the belk . To make the poor gentleman ' s situation still worse , crowd of boys and young men collected around him , and commenced ringing in his ears a Tariety of new peals about Easter dues , which it is said has so effsaded aim that he declares he wQl now enforce iheia at all hazards . A few instances bare occurred of Whig m&nuf&cvurers Turning their weavers off for daring to express their indifference abont Whig success , and several more have declared their detenni-Bation to shut up shop altogether , rather than carry on business under a Blue Tory Government .
RoxbitrgH- —On Tuesday last , the nomination of candidates for the county of Roxburgh took place in Jedbnrgh . Every exertion -was made by both Whigs and Tories to bring & » many of their supporters to the nomination as they could , if lex it was known that the Chartists meant to nominate Mr . John Fr&ser , of Edinburgh . Every village and hamlet in the county was agitated by the different parties for supporters . The Whigs held ont the templing bait of a big loaf , parading the strtta of Hawick with a large and small loafthe large one inscribed " Elliot ' s Loaf , " and the small ne ¦ ' Scott ' s Loaf . * ' This , no doubt , had its effect on many ; stiU tfie Chartista continued firm in their resolution , and mustered in great numbers at Hawiek , on the Monday evening , and after walking in procession ,
Mr . Fraaer addressed them in the Market-place . At file conclusion of bis address , the question was put to the meeting whether they considered Mr . Prazer a 5 . 1 and proper person to represent the county in P&tliameBt , when a whole forest of bands was held up amid great cheering . —Tuesday morning was wet and lowering , yet the Ccartists turned ont in considerable numbers , and marched to Jedbnrgh , a distance of ten miles , where , by all the means which wealth enabled the factions to maie use of , the numbers of people collected together was unprecedented on any similar occasion . A cumber of Chartists attended from Galaahiels , Ktlso , and other places in the county . Mr . Bell , of Hun thill , { Crown Agent for Scotland , with a handsome salary ! , nominated the Bon . John E . Elliot , and 31 r .
Murray , farmer , ascended him . Sir Q . Warrender no-Hlinalfcd the Hon . Francis Scott , and Mr . Bailie , of Mellertam , seconded him ; Mr . Fraz = r was proposed by Mi . John Haig , and seconded by Mr . Walter Willan , both of Hawick . The speeches of the Whig and Tory JEovers and seconders were of the common stamp , the c » e landing and the ciher condemning the present G-o-Ternment and their plans for curing the evils under Which the country is labouring ; and the speech of Mr F . Scott was a medley of the opinions of other men on She proposed measures , he all the time declining to give any opinion of his own on the subject Mr . Elliot was not present Mr . Frazrr made a most effective speech , Trbich "was listened to throughout with the most pivh liiind attention by the immense multitude . He was in
the centre of the hustings , the Whigs being on his right i and the Tories on his left , te each of which he dealt i ¦ ome home thrusts . On the show of hands ¥ « ing taken , ' ! the numbers for Eib ' ot and Fraser appeared nearly i qual , j Tery few being held np for Scott , and the Sheriff decided that Eiiiot had the majority in his favour . Mr . I Scott demanded a poll , and Mr . F / a * ar said that while ' he admitted the justice of the Sheriffs decision he declined going to the polL Thus ended a ceremony which irill be long remembered on the Border , as the first ¦ wh ere the voice of the people and of truth was heard j from the nomination hustings in Jedburgh . It ¦ will not be the last , and although we did not succeed in carrying I the show of hands , yet we are corfideut that an impression ' has been made by Mr . Eraser ' s Yisit which will result j in good to the cause of freedom at no distant date . The ;
polling closed on Friday , when Mr . Scott , the Buccleuch nominee had a majority of 82 , and of course carried the election . The polling commenced here at the usual henr on Thursday , and proceeded without interruption , and aH would bare passed quietly off if it had not been for the brutal conduct of the Edinburgh police , between twenty and thirty of whom had t » en brought into the town the previous night They were ordered to clear the inn yard , in front of which the polling booth was erected , and in doing so , they struck with their heavy bludgeons all that came in their way . Several boys were severely cut in the head ; they even ¦ truck them on tha ground after knocking them down . This irritated the people bo much that none of the Und ^ eon men conld siow their faces is the streets after , but kept snug within doors . After the poll had dosed for the day , a strong party of the 4 th Dragoens
came into the town at a rapid pace ; they had been about three miles off the night before , and remained in the inn yard t ill ™ na o ' clock , foi what purpose nobody ould tell , as the town was perfectly quiet AH parties agree in deprecating this military interference , as there was cot the least occasion either fox them or the bludgeon men : there could not be a quieter election . A public meeting , tailed fey the magistrates on the requisition of a number » f the inhabitants wis held on the Common Hough in the evening , Mr . Watson , chief magistrate , in the chair , when a nmmbei of resolutions condemning the authorities for introducing the military , and mitihf " ""? the magistrates to SL « BOTU&se thfi Home Seewstaij , aad Uie other steps to get the authors of the outrage punished , were a&oved by Walter Wilson , manufacturer , and seconded by the Bev . Gilbert Elliot , cousin to the Earl of Minto . She resolutions -were passed unanimo usly .
Leicester . —Tha defeat of the Bloodies , " in their blnstering attempt upon the representation of South Leicestershire , has been signalised , under some rather extraordinary circumstances , during the past week . The idea of disturbing Conservative possession of an agneatonal district , particularly with the cry of Corn Taw Repeal , was , one would think , too insane to find an aunest reception in the niiad of men of intelligence . The manufaetnrera of Leicester , however , did entertain ¦ act a fiece ptiTO expectation , and , with the Mayor at

ttair head , put forth a defiance of the landed interest , and after hunting about for candidates , actually entered the field , last Saturday , and nominated CoL Cheney and Mr . Gisboroe , ( the rejected of Newport , Isle of Wight , ) against Halfard and Packs , the Tory Members in the late Parliament The Castle-yard was densely crowded . Tbe Chartists , in a firm phalanx , had possession of the central ground , in fr » nt of the hustings , first . Next came np the Tories on their left , and then the Whigs , with a band of about forty ruffians in white billy-cot hats , armed with bludgeons , on their tight . The billycots exerted all their strength to break the central phalanx of Chartists ; but the appearance of Cooper and Bairstow upon the hustings animated their zeal , and after a hearty volley of cheers , and a significant
beckoning as to where the danger lay , a stout and effectual stand was kept up against the Whig " billy-cota . " Finally , when tbe ruffiins grew too impatient to be withheld from throwing the crowd into confusion , and made a desperate attempt on the centre , their hats were seized , and were seen flying and tornia all directions , and they were compelled to retreat After tbe nomination of the Tory and Whig candidates , Cooper and BlirstOW ware also nominated a * tbe Chartist candidates ; and when tbe show of bands was taken , the numbers were fully as nfucb . in their favour as in those of any of the other candidates . The Sheriff , however , gave his decision in favour of the Whigs , and a poll was demanded by thi Conservatives . The contest was
a most miserable failure on the part » f the manufacturers . At the close of the first day ' s poll , the Mayor appeared on the portico of the Bell Hotel , and actually blabbered like s child : He has secured for himself , for life , the emphatic soubriquet of " weeping John , the first man in the borough . " Throughout the contest , the Chartists openly and manfully avowed their determination to aid th « Tories in preference to the Whigs . The policy commenced at Nottingham , has thus been consistently mai ntained by tbe men of the Midland Counties , ta the close of the struggle ; and in spite of athe calumnies of their enemies , the mea of Leicester , Loughborougb , and Nottingham , confidently rely on the future to pro-ve the correctness of their foresight , andtj produce * harvest of advantage to Chartism .
Dublin . —Tb » following placard was freely circulated during the City contest by Mr . Patrick O'lTiggins : — " City of Dublin Election . —Patrick O'Higgins , of No . 14 , iS ' orth Anne-street , will vote at the present election for Messra . O Connell and Button , provided that they give Mm a pledge in writing , that they will support no administration but one , that will give its officia advocacy to the great and paramount measures of Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Representation . No Property Qualification , and Payment of Members of Parliament for their time and services- —Dated July 5 th , 1841 . " Mr . O'Higgins obtained thirty signatures to this document ; all of whom stood true to it The pariah priest of Ann-street took it to O'Doubleface who refused to sign , and so lost the thirty votes . This is doing busi-Dess in the right way .
YORKSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES . { Continued from our sixth page . ) CROWN COURT . —Wednesday , July 14 . ( Before Mr . Justice Wightman . ) SHEEP STEALING . Wm . Wa ! son ., 37 , was charged with having on the ' 24 th of April , at Greasbro , ' stolen an ewe sheep , the property of — Jackson . Mr . Pashlky was for the prosecution ; the prisoner ¦ wa s undefanded-The prosecutor is a farmer residing in the parish of Gre&sbro . ' The prisoner was a mechanic , and lived at Old Holland about 500 or 600 yards from a field in the occupation of Mr . John Hawley , where the sheep were depasturing at the time the offence was committed . Mr . Jackson agisted twenty-two
sheep in this field , and on the 23 d and 24 th of April , they were seen in the field , but on the following morning , one was missing . On the 25 th , the contables of Rotherham and Kimbsrworth searched she prisoner ' s house , and in the garret found the prosecutor ' s sheep in a sack with the skin on , and the sack was covered over with bed clothes . The prisoner told one of the constables that he had found tbe sheep that morning about six o ' clock , but not being able to carry it home himself , he got his wife to assist him . The prisoner ' s shoes were taken off and compared with the feetmarks in the field , and those leading from the field to the prisoner's house , and they corresponded exactly . There was also a considerable quantity of blood . A knife was found in' the prisoner ' s house with marks of blood and grease upon it , as if it had been recently used .
The prisoner's defence agreed with the statement he made to the constable . Guilty . MANSLAUGHTER . John Sylees , 26 . was charged with the manslaughter of John Kadcliffe , a . t Halifax . Sir Grzsoby Lewis and Ml- HaXL appeared for the prosecution ; aud iir . WiLKlNS for the prisoner . Sir G . Lewis very briefly stated the case . The deceased and the prisoner were fighting , and the deceased had a poker in his hand . The question was whether the prisoner had taken the poker out of the deceased's hand , and , by giving him sundry blows on the head with it , had caused his death . It appeared , from the evidence of Mr . Robertshaw , surgeon , that when he was called upon to attend the
deceased , be found some wounds on his head , and that , in his opinion , the immediate cause of death resulted from erysipelas , and the erysipelas was caused by the wounds . He ordered the deceased to keep still ; but he had not done so , and it was probable that if he had kept still , and had not taken drink , that erysipelas would not have supervened . The erysipelas began with the wound at the back of the head . It also appeared , from the statement of the other witnesses , that on Saturday night , tbe 8 ib of May , several persons met near the canal at Sowerby Bridge , among whom were the prisoner and
the deceased , when a quarrel took place , and the deceased stmck prisoner with a poker . The prisoner took the poker from him , and struck him several times . Sykes also knocked the deceased down , and kicked him , apparently , several times on the head . The deceased was shewn to be in a perfect state of fury before the fight took place , he having fou ^ nt with another man , and , according to the statement of one of the witnesses , the deceased ' s hair at the back of his head was wet and stiff before the fight with the prisoner took place , but she could not say whether it was blood or not .
Mr . Wilkins addressed the jury for the prisoner , contending that the case was so full of doubt , that they could not convict the prisoner . The jury , without hesitation , found the prisoner not guilty .
BOBBKRT . George Burkinshair , 32 , was charged with having on the 19 th of November last , at Sheffield , stolen from the Royal Hotel , in tha occupation of William Travis , £ 29 in gold , silver , and copper , and an accountable receipt of the Sheffield bank , for the sum of £ 100 , the property of Win . Travis . Mr . Heato . n and Mr . Pickebikg were for the prosecution , and Sir . G . Lewis and Mr . Wilkins appeared for the prisoner . The prosecutors in this case were a society , called the "Norfolk Sick Society . " It was instituted by poor persons , their object being to contribute monthly small sums of money , in order to provide for their necessities in sickness and old age . The prisoner was a member of this society ,
which was established at Sheffield , and its meetings were held at the house of Mr . Travis . In July , 18-10 , the prisoner was elected president of the soeieiy for the year ensuing . Among the persons elected to other offices at the same time was Thomas Best , who was appointed the senior warden , and whp is now the president . By the rules of the society , meetings are held on the first Monday iu every month , and a box was provided , in which was deposited the books and various other property belonging to the society , and that box was placed in a room in the house , and was kept locked with three locks , the keys belonging to which differed from one another . One of the keys was kept by the president , and each of the others by the senior and junior wardens . By the rules all the monies
had to be deposited in the box , and only certain portions of the money were left in the hands of the president , who p&id what was necessary to those members wbo had claims on the society during the ensuing mon'h . No money could be deposited in or taken out of the box except in the presence of the president , the two wardens , and two of the members called assistants . A meeting of the society was held on Monday the 2 ad of May , and on that occasion the sum of - £ 13 6 s . 7 d . was deposited in the box as that evening ' s receipt . There was in the box besides this the sum of £ 14 6 s . 7 d ., and an accountable receipt , which was given by the bank of Parker , Shore , & Co . With regard to this document the cuBtom appears to be this : •—When a person deposits money in the bank , he receives a receipt as an acknowledgement for deposit , but before he can receive the money out of the bank , he has to present the receipt , and after it is to presented , the endorsement of other
parties has to be plaoed upon it . There was also in the box three small sums of m » ney belonging to three of the members . On tbe 4 th of November the prisoner took a locksmith named Knowbon to Mr . Travis ' s house , to take two of the locks from the box , in order that keys might be made for them , as he said he had lost them . Knowlson took the locks off , and the prisoner hung on another lock which he fastened . The contents of the box were afterwards missing , and on the 19 th of November & person naeaed John Ibbetson met the prisoner in the street and % person named Bell . The prisoner asked Ibbetson to go to the bank to obtain the £ 100 but lie refused . After some conversation , however , he agreed to go to the bank on the following day . The prisoner then represented himself to be the president of the society , and the other two persons as the senior and junior wardens , thereby getting possession of the money , and an indorsment on the receipt was made by the parties in question .
Sir Gregory Lewis took »*» objection to the case proceeding on the ground that his Learned Friend had opened the case as a partnership which existed among the members , and he apprehended that a man could not steal his own money . The society was not enrolled under the act .

Mr . Heatos was heard in reply , * nd The Judge decided that the case should proceed After all the evidence had been heart ] , Sir Gregory Lewir niaed an objection as fatal to the ease that the receipt could not bo called ft valuable receipt as a part of it was torn off . The Judge was of the same opinion , and after Sir ( jr . Lkttin had made a few remarks to the Jury , The Jubgk stated it as bis opinion that the indictment had failed , inasmuch as it did not sufficiently appear that the money was in the possession of Travis so as to entitle him to prosecute . The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty .
yOEGKBY . Joseph Parker , 46 , was charged with having , on the 30 th of January last , at Huddersfield , uttered a forged Bill of Exchange , purporting to be drawn b y Win . Yates , for the payment of £ 19 6 s . 6 U , with intent to defraud Henry Hirst and his partners . Sir G . Lewij * and Mr . Wasney appeared for the prosecution ; the prisoner waa undefended . On the day in question , the prisoner went to the warehouse of Messrs . Hirst and Co ., in Huddersfield , and there asked to purchase some fancy goods . They had some conservation together ; and certain goods , to the amount of £ 20 0 s . Id ., were set apart for him . The prisoner went away for a short ) time ,
and then came back to pay for the goods . He presented a Bill for £ 19 6 s . 6 d ., signed by William Yates ,. of Cleckheaton , and the prisoner put his name ( Joseph Parker ) at the back of the bill . He was asked did he mean the Mr . Yates who was the manufacturer , and he said yes . The prosecutors then took the bill in payment for the goods , but in a short time afterwards the bill was returned to them by William Yates , who denied all knowledge of it . The prisoner was therefore taken into cvutody . There was another person named Yates , a labouring man , residing at Geckheaton , and he likewise denied that he had given the prisoner any such bill . Guilty .
James Shule ( 66 ) wa < 5 charged with having on the 1 st instant , at Gargrave , stabbed John Brownies , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . — Mr . Wasnbt was for the prosecution . The prisoner was undefended . The prosecutor is a vender of spectacles , and on the 1 st instant he was at a public house at Gargrave , where he saw the prisoner . The prosecutor is an Irishman , and the prisoner made some insulting remarks to him about his country , when an altercation took place , which led to the prisoner being turned out by the landlord . When the prosecutor left the house , soon afterwards , he met the prisoner , who threatened to kill him , he having a knife in his hand at the time . Prosecutor knocked him down twice , and just before he went into his iodgings the prisoner came up to him and stabbed him severely on the left breast . It appeared that tbe prisoner was a native of Hamburgh , and had been a soldier . —Guilty .
BTABBIKf . Samuel tfdder , 25 , was charged with having , on the 1 st of May last , at Leeds , stabbed Matthew Thackray Kir by , with latent to do him some grievous bodily harm . Sir Gbegoby Lewin was for the prosecution , and Mr . Wilkins for the defence . Sir G . Lewin stated that he did not think that , in this case , it would amount to more than a common assault . He understood that the prisoner was willing to plead guilty to the assault , and he thought he would be justified in not pressing the more serious charge . The prisoner then pleaded guilty to the assault .
STABBING . Ely Hopkinson , 17 , was charged with having , on the 26 th of June , at Clifton , stabbed Daniel Walker . Mr . Wasney and Mr . Atherton conducted the prosecution , and Mr . Wilkins defended the prisoner .

Guilty , with a recommendation < o mercy . Sentence deferred . The Court rose about fire o'clock .

Cork County Election
CORK COUNTY ELECTION
NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES The nomination of candidates for the representation of this county was fixed for Monday by the High Sheriff , James Barry , Esq . From an early hour the passages to the Court House were densely r : led . Short l y before twelve o ' clock , Mr . Leader appeared on the hustings with his proposer and seconder , and a few friends , and shortly after was followed by Mr . G . S . Barry and Mr . E . B . Roche and their friends , or more properly speaking the friends of the latter , for in respect to friends the " auld Member" was , like " the last rose of summer , left weeping aloae . " Immediately after these gentlemen , the High Sheriff and his Sub , Mr . William Johnson , aud Major Brownrigg , R . M ., and i £ r . Gore Jones , H . M ., appeared . After a great deal of crushing and thumping , squeezing and screeching , cries of silon ce and yells ,
The Sub-Sheriff read the precept for holding the Election-The High-Sheriff , calling silence , proclaimed that the County Electors , by virtue of the writ they had heard read , were entitled to put Candidates in nomination for the representation of the County of Cork in Parliament . —( Yells . ) Mr . Barry , ex-member , then presented himself before them , for the purpose of announcing , and they might rest assured he did so with regret —( here a tear w&s seeu to trickle down hia cheek)—that he was retiring from the honour of being a candidate for ihe representation of this great county in the next Parliament . ( Loud cheering . ) Circumstances had lately arisen rendering that necessary . ( A
Vuioe— " That s very , very bad treatment , indeed . ) These circumstances wer ithe temporary defeat of Ireland ' s Liberator , and he did so to make a demonstration in his favour , and shew his political opponents that O'Connell waa still dear to the people of Ireland . ( ShoutB . ) They knew it was the only recompense they could make him for his defeat —they all knew that it was unneceessry for him to pass a panegyric or eulogium upon him , and he would therefore conclude , by saying , that though it was one of the greatest honours to which be could aspire , the representing of his native county in Parliament , so it was tbe greatest compliment that could bo paid him to request him to retire in favour of Mr . O'Connell . ( Here his eyes again filled with tears , and
his utterance became choked , strongly evidencing that the unfortunate gentleman was forced to speak against his feelings . ) He should conclude by proposing Daniel O'Connell , Esq ., as a fit—( here he had again to pause while struggling with his feelings )—and proper person to represent this great county in Parliament . ( Great yelling . ) Mr . Beamish , ex-Member for the city , rose and was met with great uproar . He called upon them for a moment ' s attention . ( Yelling . ) He was called upon , by the electors of the oounty of Cork —( a voice , " How many I ")—to second the nomination of Ireland ' s Liberator . ( Yells . ) He looked , upon the present janeture of affsirs as all important , and as
calling upon them to have as a representative for the largest county in Ireland him whom a temporary defeat alone—the decision of an adverse assessor , bat which a Committee of the House of Commons would settle as it had settled the non-resident freemen in this city , would rectify . Daniel O'Connell now came forward , invited by the oounty of Cork , and he ( Mr . fi . ) was prond he came forward to solicit their suffrages , for whom a man had given way that had faithfully and diligently executed his duties as their Member t-ince 1832 . He seconded the nomination . Mr . Roche was than nominated by Mr . Clancey of Charleville , and seconded by Mr . J . E . McCarthy , of Raddone .
Col . Hodder , of Hoddersfield , amidst the most determined interruption from the O'Connellites , proposed Mr . M . P . Leader , whose nomination was seconded in a proper Tory speech , delivered through a perfect storm of yelling , hooting , and interruption by Mr . Conner of llanch House .

Mr . T . G . French of Merino , proposed Robert Longfleld , Esq ., barrister-at-law . Mr . Samuel Wallis Adams , of Kilbre , amidst the greatest uproar , seconded the nomination of Mr . longfield . Mr . Richard Victor Roche , of Kllluntin , proposed Mr . John Keleher as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament . Mr . John O'Hea , of Clonakilty , begged leave to second the nomination . -The High Sheriff having Inquired if any other elector had a candidate to propose , and no one appearing , Mr . £ .

MERTHYit TYDVIL ELECTION . Tuesday last having been appointed for the nomination of a fit and proper person to serve the office of a burgess in the new Parliament , the town was all alive at an early hour . Sir « J . J . Guest , the ex-member and Whig candidate , was proposed and seconded by Messrs . Crawshay and James . Mr . Argust then proposed Mr . Morgan Williams as a candidate ( tremendous cheering and stamping of feet and indeed more than once it was expected that the frail tenement in which they were assembled would conte down to the ground . ) Mr . Henry Thomas seconded the nomination . The Returning Officer- then put it to a show of hands ; but he declared taat he could not undertake to dacide which party had it . A second show of hands was then taken , and the Returning Officer declared it to be in favour of Mr . Morgan Williams . ( Tremendous oheeriug . )
Mr . David James then demanded a poll , which the returning officer appointed to take place next day at eight in the morning , to close at four in the afternoon . Some conversation then took place , and the retnriiim officer adjourned the court to a field , in which hustings had been erected . No sooner had the huvtin ^ B been taken possession of by the parties than the field w&s filled with people . The meoting was addsessed briefly by Messrs . Guest and Crawshay . Mr . Morgan Williams then came forward , and addressed the assembly at great length , first in English and then in Welsh . He said that at a former election ho had supported in the strongest
manner Sir J . GueBt , while he was opposed by that very Mr . Crawshay who now supported him ; but he ( Mr . W . ) now opposed him because he saw that he was not what ho bad professed to be—ihe Mead of the people . He was the supporter of a Government which had not offered them any of those SO called blessings which they now held out , until the eleventh hour , when they saw that they were about to lose their places , and were prepared even to go the length of doing what one of their own associates , Lord Melbourne , called an act of madness , throw this country on foreign nations fer the means of getttng its daily bread , so that if we were to quarrel with them we must be starved for want of that bread which we had forced Our own farmers
to give over growing for want of a market . A great boast had been made about their intention of giving cheap bread to the working man , but what did cheap bread mean ! Why , cheap bread means cheap labour ; that was to say , that they would first reduce the price of broad by admitting the corn of the foreigner at a low duty , aud then they would lower the wages of the workmen to meet the lowered price of corn , for every one knew that the price of labour was regulated by the price of corn . Now , with respect to this very measure of a fixed duty of 8 a ., Sir J . Guest said tie was willing to give his lull support to the Government , and consequently was in favour of an Hi . duty , while his proposer ( Mr . Craw-6 hay ) wasfor nothing less than an absolute free trade . There was consistency S As to free trade , that was all a fallacy , if intended as a benefit . He would tell them what ; free trade was . The Frenoh made
glove ? , which could be sold in London at a cheaper rate than the Eaglish could do it , and the consequence was that the English glovers were starving , while the Frenoh were well employed . To be sure , instead of giving them the means of maintaining themselves by honest labour , they offered them the mercies of the New Poor Law , and the starvation Union workhouses . ( Loud groans . ) The Government , instead of diminishing the taxes that ground the poor workman to the dust , actually increased them , and were now going to levy a tax on bread , that they might have money to cover a deficiency in the revenue , caused by their own bad conduct and inca pacity . He frequently referred to a paper which
he held in his hand , in support of his propositions , and ho was loudly cheered throughout his address . In the middle of his speech , however , the crowd was seized with a panic , occasioned , as it was supposed , by some one throwing a stone , which it was feared would lead to a serious disturbance . However , all passed off quietly . Mr . Morgan Williams called on them to be peaceable , tor if they wero not so it would belaid to him . This produced au evident effect on them . He commented in severe terms on the readiness of the Whigs to promise , but their utter disregard of their promises when they had obtained their purpose . He was much cheered .
Mr . Morgan Williams being then asked whether he intended to go to the poll , said he did not . The Returning Officer then declared Sir J . Guest duly elected , and the meeting separated , the Charlists rejoicing as from a victory , and the Whigs annoyed at being bearded and hissed , and at being disturbed in the " even tenor of their way . " It is with pleasure that we do the Returning Officer the justice to say that he did his duty in tho most fair and impartial manner , aud was evidently actuated by an intense anxiety to give satisfaction to all parties , whioh seemed a very difficult matter where there was bo much violence and party feeling displayed , but we have heard since that all parties were perfectly satisfied with his conduct , and were convinced that he wished to act iu the very spirit of the solemn oath he had just taken .. — Welsh paper .
Release Of Black Of Nottingham
RELEASE OF BLACK OF NOTTINGHAM
TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —There appeared an account in the Star some time ngo ef the arrest of George Black , of Nottingham , at Pontypool , Monmouthshire , ami of his committal for a month ' s hard labour to the House of Correction at Usk . You requested some of the friends about Pontypool to give some farther information about him , but the would-be Chartists there , did not think it worth while either to give the readers of the Star , or any of the Chartists of the neighbourhood , any such information . We are very much surprised at this , for a better , honester , and a more disinterested advocate of the cause , does not exist thau George Black , of Nottingham .
We understand that ho has now left the prison , aud for anything known to the contrary , pennylesa and in want . We trust that his case will be made known through the columns of the Star , and that he will meet with that sympathy , which bis case deserves . We know he is not the man to make his sufferings known , and we know , at the same time , he has done very much for the cause in Monmouth and Glamorgan . The goods taken from him were of considerable value , and we trust that their worth will be made up . Mertliyr will do its share towards such an object , and let the CtuaUats of Poatypool make > up lei their neglect by giving their Bhare towardB it The Council of the Association , Merthyr Tydvil .

Thousands assembled to witness the sight , consisting of working peopleno managers , no cotton lords—none of those who live upon the industry of the masses . No , no ; the poor men were dead , and , of course , of no more service . We heard the deep sighs of many , and ¦ aw the big tears running down tbe cheeks of their

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , July IS . The circumstance of damp , rainy , and disagreeable weather , Which we in London have experienced for tho last ten days , appears to have a most narcotic influence over politics and politicians , for there is really nothing to do , or doing . You only hear the grumblings of poor Whiglings , who have now made a most wondrous discovery—namely , that the Ballot is the grand panacea for all their troubles , those troubles being loss of place , power and overbearing tyranny . I will merely give you one instance of their ( the Whigs ) utter contempt of the people , though I have a number of cases at hand to prove more and worse actions . There is , in this metropolis , one Mr .
Benjamin Armstrong , a Whig made magistrate of the county . This fellow has a number of small houses , which he farms , or compounds for ; all these houses give the right of suffrage to the inhabitants , or occupiers , upon the rates being paid . Well , to prevent their having votes , this oood Whigling lets the rates remain uupaid , and the poor people be distrained upon for taxes which he ought to pay , and at the same time , he Etates he is a Liberal , though depriving men of their votes . But it 13 all of a pjecfl With mtu / A reformers , when they have the workies under them—no ohance will be allowed to them ( the vrorkieB ) of exercising their vote , though they have the educational and brick qualification : and Whigs and Liberals are in favour of such a qualification .
Tower Hamlets . —A registration committee has been formed , which is working well , and will , before long , relieve the borough from the presence of the Whig Fox . The Police record of the week gives us a pretty proof how far justice is dispensed in this metropolis , for you will find Honourable Captains and scions of nobility getting clear , because policemen are not to be believed , when giving evidence against them , though a word against any poor -Wight , is sure to be taken , and ha ^ e full weight for their im prisonment .

Prices are ruinously low , and country manufacturers complain that they are not remunerated , and assert that they mast either meet with a greater demand for their goods , or still further reduce their operations .
Bradford Market , Thursday , Jult 15 . —Wool —We notice a little more activity and cheerfulness in this department , but prices are steady . The Hock of old Wool in the market is not heavy , but as the new clip is now coming in , the supply , is equal to the demand . Yarn—There is a steady business doing and prices firm . The short-time running is very generally adopted , which prevents an accumulation in the hands of Spinners . . Pmw—About an average amount of business has been done to day . Figured goods are Still in active demand , especially those composed of Cotton Warp and Mohair , or Alpaca Weft . No alteration in prices .
Newcastle Corn Market , Jult 10 . —The supplies of Wheat from our neighbourhood , and the coast likewise , continue on a very moderate scale , and we had a good demand to day at an advance of 2 s . per quarter on last week's prices . Fine Rye is in demand . Grinding Barley very scarce . Malt , Beans , and Peas meet little attention . Oats in moderate supply , and prices firmly supported . The demand for Flour during the week has been extensive , and although the arrivals are large , the whole has been cleared off at pur quotations ; and as our millers have to-day agreed to advance their prices Is . per sack , a similar improvement may be anticipated on first supplies arriving from the coast . —Arrivals here this week : English , 390 quarters Wheat , 108 quarters Rye , 30 quarters Barley , 560 quarters Oats , and 2 , 320 sacks of Flour . Foreign , 1 . 2 M quarter * Wheat , aud 2 , 400 quarters of Be&OB .
Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Jolt 12 . We have this week bad moderate arrivals of Grain , Flour , and Oatmeal coastwise , and from Ireland , and no further shipments have appeared from Canada . The imports from foreign states include 2 , 888 qrs . of Wheat , 2 , 780 quarters of Oats , 890 quarters of Barley , f , 250 quarters of Beans , 390 quarters of Peas , and 9 , 070 barrels of Flour ; duties at the same time having been paid upon only 663 quarters of Wheat , 25 quarters of Peas , and 40 barrels of Flour . Continued unsettled weather has given increased firmness to the Wheat trade ; the millers and dealers have purchased of free parcels to a moderate extent , at fully the prices quoted on this day se ' nnight , whilst from 7 , 000 to 8 , 000 quarters of
foreign have changed hands in bond , at rather over the rates then obtainable ; good Baltio red and middling Dantzic have brought 6 s . 6 d . and fine 63 . 9 d . per 70 lb 9 . Free Flour has also been somewhat better so'd , at 35 s .- per barrel , tho price for the general runs of Canadian . Under limited demand , Oats and Oatmeal may again be noted the turn cheaper . No change as regards Barley or Beans . Our stocks of free Peas are trifling , and are held for higher prices . In addition to the Wheat sold in bond , already named , about 2 , 400 barrels of United States sweet Flour have changed hands , under lock at 23 s . 6 "d . to 24 s . 6 d ., and in the beginning of the week 1 , 000 brla , of Flour , at 20 s . per barrel . Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , July 10 .
—The arrivals from abroad comprise 7 , 251 quarters of Beans , 9 , 072 barrels of Flour , and 1 , 450 quarters of Wheat , the entire of which is entered in bond , the duty on all articles being unvaried . From Ireland and coastwise the imports amount to a fair average for the season . At this morning ' s market there was . not much passing , bat the fall currency of thia day se ' nnight was firmly demanded by many holders of Wheat . The scarcity of superfine qualities of fresh manufactured English Flour enabled factors to obtain an advance of 6 d . per sack , and secondary qualities were likewise more readily sold at nearly a corresponding improvement in value . The trade in Oats and Oatmeal was without animation , and no alteration can be noted in the quotations of those or any other article .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Jult 12 th . — There was only a moderate quantity of wheat from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk for this day ' s market , with a very limited show of barley , beans , and peas from all these counties ; of oats there were pretty good fresh arrivals , having several vessels in from Ireland , with a few from our own coast and Scotland . The imports of foreign wheat during the past week have been rather large , but of other articles only to % limited extent . There was a good steady demand for wheat , primo samples commanding fully the rates of this day se ' naight , and although the middling and secondary qualities of English were not taken off freely , these descriptions wero not cheaper . Free foreign was selected by our town millers in
small quantities , for which they paid quite as much money ; the stock of this description here is reduced to about 53 , 00 t qrs ., consisting of middling and ordinary qualities . Bonded wheat was held firmly at last week ' s prices , and the sales effected were only to a limited extent . Good marks of ship flour were the turn dearer , and in fair requests Grinding barley made the rates of last week , with a moderate demand . Prime season made malt was quite as dear , with a steady sale . Beans and peas brought fully the rates of this day se ' nnight , with tolerably good demand . The oat trade was unaltered in value , fine fresh
thrashed corn cemmanding a moderately good sale to the consumers , and all other sorts were hold for fully as much money . Nothing of moment passing in linseed ; Odessa is worth 48 $ . per qr . One small lot of 8 i qrs . new rapeseed was on sale to-day from Kent , the first sample of this year ' s growth , and in such condition from being housed iu wet weather , that it is already warm in sacks on bo short a voyage as from Sheemess , too inferior in consequence for the seedsmen , and held too high for the crushers ; an opening price is thus not established . Tares were inquired for , and held higher than of late .
London Skithfield Cattle Market , July 12 — Although the supply of Beasts offering in our market 01 to-day Was , oa the whole , moderate , the Beef trade , particularly for the finest qualities , owing to a large portion of the arrivals coming to band in middling and inferior condition , and to the attendance of buyers being pretty numerous , was animated , at an enhancement on last Monday ' s currencies or from 2 d . to 4 d . per 8 lb , the primest Scots readily producing 5 s . per 81 b ., and a good clearance was ettected some time previously to the conclusion of business . From Scotland , the receipts , per steampackets , comprised 200 Scots * , and 300 Sheep , the whole of which came to hand in gwkl condition .
