Afterwards they must see if some-1 thin * could not be done for her . j Aid . Kelly stated on Wednesday , at Guildhall , that he had received three contributions for the poor 'woman j from Hunslet , charged with begging . They were 10 s . j from Mr .

fWe invite our readers to read the above , to read j It till every word is engraven not merely npon the tablet j of the memory , bnt npon the more durable one of the j heart , and then say if a state of things -which can first s produce , and then punish such wretchedness , ought any j longer to be suffered to exist We dare not say the j tenth part of what we feel on this heart-reading tale of { horror . Here is a female , one who has been wife , pa- i rent , daughter , sister , —all that woman can be to man j —in a state of absolute destitution . Prop aftef prop ; has , in the mysteriuns arrangements of Previdence , ; been removed , till she has neither staff nor stay remaining ; and , to add to ker misery , ) her efforts to exist without being criminal , are , by the j accursed sjalem which the snpineness and indifference ,
of the people have suffered to be established in this > country , converted into a crime ; and all that a humane magistrate can do is to send her to a prison , to keep her i from becoming a thief . Talk about society \ but society ' exists not for her : she is an outcast But though society refuses her her rights , it sternly demands respeci for its institutions , and tells her , in effect ,, thai should she starve , it has no tribunal before : ¦ Which to cite those whoee enpidity and avarice ha Ye ; thus Tendered them guilty of murder ; but if she steal to satisfy her hunger and to clothe her nakedness , it has laws for the protection of property , the iron grasp of which she must speedily be made to feel . It is fair to conclude that this woman , in bye-gone days , has . rendered service to society ; she has , it appears , been the
mother of thirteen children , the last of whom the laws of the country has doomed to exile , for a crime of which the mother deems her innocent ; and this seems the only consolation for the seared and widowed heart . She comes , she says , from Honslet , near Leeds , and she , finds her way to the emporinm of wealth , to the abode of royalty , the British Metropolis , for what ? T » give the but embrace to her sole remaining child ; and how tonchingly she asks—" Tbat was not a guilty act , Vu it ? " Yes , in the eyes of bloated capitalists , landlords , asd fundlords , a parent ' s feelings are , indeed , a deadly crime ! What right had she to feel ? How dared she to leave Hunslet in obedience to the calls of nature and humanity ? How had she the assurance to eome to beg in London , rather than stay and starve at
Hunslet ? Alas 1 she had no tie to Hunslet ? " Have you no friends at Hunslet ? " asked the Worthy Tmtgie tTnt" ** ^ fone , " replies the prisoner—the PB 1 S 05 KE . I 1 made sneh fcy her efforts to be honest . ' " None ! ! Father , mother , brother , sister , husband , and children all ue gene . I have not a friend in the world , but God Almighty above me ; and sometimes I -think he is hard upon me to take all away , and l eave me behind !' . " We ask those who prate about " the obedienee dnfi to the laws , " and "the respect which the poor are bcund to pay to the regulations of society , - -what claim the law can put forth to the respect and obedience ot a being so wretched ? "I « ould sell little things , " she says , " but they must be bought ; and if 1 go to beg the money ,
I am seized and taken to prison . " Poor wretch ! and had she begged the money , and gene to sell her things , another class-made law would have taken them from her , and consigned her to a dungeon for the crime of wanting four pounds to pay the Government for a licence to do so ! She has no ties to bind her to the world , and in the agony of her despair she is almost ready to " Curse God and- die . " We shall probably be told thst the Poor Law offers assistance in such cases of destitution ; this we grant , and we need no better proof of the horrid system of the present English Poor Laws , than this can afford . 3 ? o one bat a maniac ., under the old system , wculd have "preferred « n »> i a stale of destitution to the
pro-TUiODS Of the 'WOrkhonse ; but see how such provisions ire lof thed and spurned since the Malthasiaa wretches took the management of the poor out of the bands of the Magistrates and Board of Guardians chosen by and responsible to the rate-payers , and placed it in the hands ef the triple-headed monster , the " Devi l Bang" of Somerset House . "Under the new order of thinp * , matters are turned upside down . Oar prisons are become *• hells" instead of places of correctional punishment and discipline , and yet i > a . d as they sre , they are preferred to the Bastiles , as being less demoralising , less evil , than the dens whieb faction and political economy ttave prepared for the slow but certain murder of the destitute poor . —Ed . ]

SUN £ XRLA >~ D . On Sunday afternoon , Mr . "Williams lectured at the Life Boa ; House , to an unusually large audience . The objeet of the lecture was to deveiope the prospects of Chartist Reform . The lecturer observed in the introduction of the Subject , that the question , whether the ardent wishes and hopes of the enslaved , for the attainment of a free . and happy state of society , were likely to bs . graufied oi not , could only be satisfactorily answered bj an inquiry into the nature of man , and a calm examination of the tendency of those elements of change , which society now contained . Mr . W . thea showed that man was a progressive , and not a stMionarv being ; that the law of his nature was
onward , onward ; notwithstanding thexnost powerful obslaclta offered by existing institutions , the people had advanced in the knowledge of their rights , interests , and duties , and were advancing , in that knowledge , while the spirit of fraternity was still extending , embracing one after another in one common bond of union , upon the principles of equal interests and duties ;—that these elements made -change inevitable ;—the qnestion then W&s , what thai change would be—what direction that spirit of progression was ta&iag I He tfeen showed that Torjismwas not the coming change , that the reaction which had . placed the Tories in power , was not * Tory reaction , that it was in fact a new action of the spirit of Reform ( which in 185 L bad carried the
cUform . BUI , ) upon more rational and comprehensive principles , than the people as a snags had ever yet been wedded to . The prospects of Whiggery were summarily dealt with ; the lecturer showing that Whiggism was only % hypocritical form of Toryism , and was , like that system , doomed to immediate and utier destruction . The lecturer then gave various and striking reasons , fer hoping that the nest successful reform move would be one apoa the principles of the People ' s Charter . The peculiar na&are of Chartist Reform was then examined ; the speaker proving that it was ihe only ju&t , comprehensive , and efficient system of political reform ; that it was a system which tended Baajedj » 4 ely on its reception , to improve the individual in awd , feeling , and character , as well as ultimately to regenerate and bless society . The inowledee of its principles and objects expanded the and
ip ? m ^ infused a patriotic p hilanthropic spirit into the heart , and led to that union and cooperation for mutual objects , by which the spirit of cAlfijjinHna was crushed and the finest features in lumaa character were formed . The lecturer then contended , frontb * extsnt to which the principles had already been embraced , from tbe fact that other systems had been tried and fouad wanting , and still sure from the £ tet that no ' other body or class of real or pretended reformers could compare with the union , firmness , censtancy , and energy displayed by the Chartist * , that the Charter would speedily , as well as inentobly , become the law of the land . He then concluded by impressing upon his audience the importance of individual duty in the great national Btrnggle in which we are bow engaged . —Mr . W .. announced that next Sunday afternoon , Mi . Bums would lecture , upon which occasion there would be j % collection mad e on behalf of Mrs . Frost .
OOKC&STSS . —A Chartist Association has been . foemfed in this totru , trith every prospect of success , i Mr . Hamey has been requested to go over and deliver a ' lecture . The agitation promises well , and the people ; axe all on tbe alert searching after a knowledge of the jxzariple * .

LEEDS . —O'Connor akd O'Brien ' s Demonstration . —The time will soon arrive when the " caged lion , " and that noble of nature , O'Brien , will be Iiberatea from the grasp of Whig tyranny . The Chartists of Leeds and its neighbourhood have determined to welcome the above gentlemen , on their liberation , by a public demonstration , to shew them the people know how to appreciate honesty and patriotism , and prove to the fa ctiens that Chartism in Leeds -is not dead , nor yet sleepeth

I « XV £ RPOOL . —On Wednesday evening , Mr . Wm . Jones delivered a powerful and eloquent lecture in the Chartist Association Room , Preston-street . SUUTHWAITE . —On Sunday last , Mr . Clayton delivered a very instructive lecture to a number of friends , at the house of Mr . William Rollitt , the Chartists' Delight , back of Mount Pleasant , Slaithw&ite . The lecture wa 3 listened to with intense interest , and after having fairly exposed the villany of clas 3 legislation , and the Whig delusion of cheap bread , he shewed them that nothing short of Universal Suffrage would render them any immediate or ultimate benefit . At the conclusion , eleven persons were enrolled as members of the Association , after "which the meeting separated . Thus are the first seeds of Chartism sown in this hitherto Whig-ridden place , and which promises , ere long , to bring forth much fruit .
PADDOCK . —On Tuesday afternoon , a very respectable and happy company agreed to make a tee-total Chartist tea-party . The company assembled about five o ' clock , out of doors , and the weather bein ^ ' very favourable , the apparatus being arranged , and the viands , the " bread and cup which cheer and do .-. ot inebriate , " set in order , about the number of seventy sat down , and were greatly delighted with the treat and with each other . Before the conclusion , rain seemed to threaten , and the party removed to the Temperance Hotel and wound up the rational conviviality by music and dancing . KEIGHLSY . —Lecttilk . —On Tuesday evening last . Mr . G . J . Haruey gave a lecture in the Working Men ' s Hall , oa ihe principles and prospects of Chartism .

SUNDERXiAND . Trade Dispite . —Honourable Decision op the Magistrates . — It is so seldom that the poor obtain either law or justice from those whose duty it is to administer it , that when an instance , an exception to the rule , does occur , it is our duty to record it prominently , and award the honour that is due to those who have earned it . On Monday , John Rogers , and John William ? , two puddlers , or iron worker .-, in the employment of the Bishop Wearmouth Iron Work ' s Company , were summoned by the company , before the borough magistrates , Sunderland , for leaving their employment without sufficient notice . Mr . Hayton , solicitor , appeared for the company , and Mr . Cooper for the workmen . Mr . Hayton ,
having sta \ ed the case , called upon Tho ? . Simpson , manager of the puddling work ? , in support of the charge . Simpson , upon being sworn , stated that the men came to work as usual on Friday night last , that he supplied them with the proper " heats" (* technical term , meaning the proper quantity of iron , 4 cwt . ); but that the men expressed their belief that there was not the quantity stated , and as they would be liable to have their wages reduced , if they did not produce a sufficient quamity of work , they objected to work until the metal was weighed . It was weighed , and it was found short weight , except one heat , which was 6 lbs . over ; but many heats were considerably less than the proper quantity . The men then refused to work , unless the deficiency
was supp ied ; he advised them to work until morning , " when all would be rectified ; they refused . Cross-examined by Mr . Cowper—Did not tell the men he couidaot , and would uot , rectify the deficiency . The quantity less would make the wages of the woikmen sixpence or ninepence a day each less . By the magistrates— " Why did yo not let the men see the metal weighed before you gave it to them . " Answer— " They might see it if they thought proper . Did not turn any men off for producing * hort weight in their work , but for bad work . " An individual in the body of the court here exclaimed , "That ' s false . " The magistrates then desired the man to be brought forward . Simpson was ordered to stand down , and the man being Drought before them , gave
Ms name John Callis . He was a workman in the Bisnopwearmouth iron works ; knew the facis oi the present case ; the manager had stated a falsehood when he asserted the men were turned off for bad work There were men in the court wLo had been turned off without any notice merely because they did not produce a certain quantity of work , which was impossible , as they did not get the quantity of metal to do it ; he stated James Williams , a workman , would prove it . James Williams was then brought forward , a ; id proved that he had been discharged , not for bad . work , but for short weight in his work . He had no notice given to him . Mr . Backhouse , one of the magistrates , observed that , in disputes between master and men , it was desirable to have , if
possible , a proper understanding established , and that could oily be done by masters doing the men justice ; that it was very clear , in this case , the masters had been discharging the men whh » ut notice , and therefore had no moral right to come there , and charge the men with an offence which they , ( . the masters , ; had first committed . R . Spon , Esq ., another of the magistrates , also emphatically ¦ denounced the conduct of the masters j he said that if tbe notioe law was right for the masters , it could not be wrong for the men , and that it was clearly established by the witnesses brought forward by the masters that the men had
not been supplied with the requisite quantity of metal . On a consultation amongst the magistrates , Mr . Spon stated that the magistrates were of opinion that the present charge against the men should bs dismissed , the masters paying the costs ; that tbe men who had been discharged without notice should ha ? e one fortnight ' s wages paid to them ; that in future a man should be appointed by the workmen ( but to be paid by tho masters ) to see the metal properly weighed . This arrangement was agreed to by tbe masters ; and the the men retired , rejoicing that there were adjninistrators of the law willing and determined to do justice to alL
ZuZXCrBLST . —Eastke Dces . —On Tuesday last , the rector of the parish , Mr . Busfield , commenced actual hostilities on his parishoners by issuing out summonses for Easter Dues , The persons singled out for this first assault of toe church militant are Mr . David Weatherhead , iMr . William Rhodes , and Mr . Milligan , surgeon , the two first being incorrigible Chartists , asd the last as obstinate dissenter . This singular claim ma de by the good man for the use of their own besoms" and chimneys has been treated by the individuals in * he manner it deserves , Mr . Weatherhead , on reci <*" - ing his note of friendship , sticking it in his sh « P window for public admiration . The great bulk i > f the parishioners declare their determination to set " the claim at defiance , and appear inclined to let the parson pay himself in kettles , pots , and pans , rather : than accommodate him with small coin . Skould this hold good , the reverend gentleman will be enabled to set np business as a broker . I

HUDDERSFXEXJ ) . —Magistrates' Office . — A person named William . Murray was brought before the bench on Tuesday , charged with having cut and otherwise seriously injured Mr . Spivey , painter , &c , and with putting other indviduals in great bodily fear . It appears that Murray entered a butcher ' s shop , in Bradley-street , in a state of the most maddened excitement , from having drank too freely of ardent spirits ; on entering , he exclaimed , u What are you going to do with me ? are you going to murder me 1 " upon which he lifted the cleaver from the block , asd drove tbe proprietor and his customers into tbe street . He followed them , and as Mr . Spivey was passing , ho received a blow from this dangerous instrument npon the arm , which out him deep . The prisoner was committed to York , but from the influence of friends , and a general good character , he was bailed out in the afternoon .
Cricket Match . A match between the Dilton and Leeds Victoria clubs came off at Huddersfield on Monday and Tuesday last . The days were favourable and a great number of spectators thronged the field . It was played at Dalton a quar-Ster of & mile from the town . The sport was firstrate , each person exerting himself to the utmost . Dalton won with seven wickets to go down . The return match will be played during the next month BL&NCHESTES , —The Petition Committee met on Sunday , when the following resolution was passed : —Moved by Mr . Gresty , seconded by Mr . Davies , That all persons holding books belonging to this committee be requested to send them in before the 4 th of August , as the committee will meet that day to balance their accounts . "
PRESTON . —On Saturday last , the following placard was extensively circulated through the town of Preston : — " Remedy for the National Distress and General Grievances . A public meeting will be held in Chadwick ' s Orchard , on Tuesday evening next , the 27 th July , instant , with a view of agreeing to some general and efficient remedy for the now prevailing and awfully increasing distress of the oountry ; and recommending the general countenance and support of such resolutions as the meeting may decide upon , and thus preveut division , that we may obtain relief , and the sooner put ah end to want and starvation , and the dread of what every good man must deplore—bloody revolution . As the meeting is intended to so discuss our
grievances , as to set the matter of remedy at rest , and attain one general and united support , it is hoped that every one will attend who can possibly do so ; and in order that full scope may be given to every speaker , the meeting will be adjourned from lime to time , till the public be put in full possession of the remedies of the day . The chair to be taken at eight o ' clock precisely . By order of the Preston Chartist Council , G . Halson , Secretary . " In consequence of this announcement , a numeroas meeting of the inhabitants of Preston took place at the time specified in the placard . Mr . R . Walton was unanimously called to the chair , who opened the business of the meeting by observing , that now was the proper time for those who had the least claim
to patriotism to step forward and elucidate their views to the meeting , in order that we might arrive at some conclusion to produce a universally beneficial change . Mr . E . Swindleburst then came forward , and showed that the grievances complained of was in consequence of bad measures emanating from men incapable of understanding the real wants of the country . Mr . H . Oddlehum followed , and concluded his address by calling upon those who wished for the amelioration of their conntry to follow the excellent advice of Hercules to the waggoner , for " God helps those that help themselves . " Mr . G . Halton was of opinion that the time had gone by to amuse the country with empty professions , that a very great portion of the people of this country had
been taught wisdom by experience , and that if those classes of society who arrogated to themselves the right to govern by exclusive privilege , did not speedly alter their course , anarchy and confusion would be the inevitable consequence . As the evening was far advanced he thought it highly desirable that the meeting should adjourn to some future period , in order to give an opportunity to weigh well the matter in discussion , he would therefore move that the meetiug do adjourn to Tuesday next . Mr . J .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , July 29 . The anti-Corn Leaguers are making efforts to get the steam up here , though from tbe apathy of their gulled followers , it must be a work of extreme hardship , for well as their lecturers are paid , it is not pleasant for them to have their breath wasted on some twenty auditors ; and as the game is spoiled , it would be more advantageous for even Cobden , and a great deal cheaper to tbe body of leaguers , if they would just help the " workies" to get what is really wanted . The females of London have established a Chartist Association , which will meet for the first titnu this evening-

United States . —By the Patrick Henry , Captain Delano , accounts from New York to the 8 th instant , five days later than the last arrivals , have been received . The news is not of importance . What an Idea . —A writer in the Sun , who signs himself Thomas Morgan , ( most probably the Tommy Morgan , of Leeds , ; recommendB the people universally to mount a scarlet cockade , which he Htyles the Queen's liverv , before which , he declares , the Corn Laws would fall to pieces . The conception is worthy of its author ; Tommy will doubtless chuckle with delight at his splendid idea of " demonstration . "

BUBBLE BANKS-EXTENSIVE FRAUDS . We copy from the Morning Post an account of the extensive frauds carried on durii . g a series of years by the Messrs . Wakefield , the Bubble Bankers , of Broad-street , London , whose capital , on commenc ing banking business , amounted to the magnificent Eum of fifteen hundred pounds !—" The case of the Wakefields , late of Broad-street , bankers and stockbrokers , as nnfolded within the last day or two in tbe Court of Bankruptcy , has formed a very prominent topic of discussion among our commercial men . Educated at a school like the Stock Exchange , it was not to be expected that the books of these persons would prove entirely free from items that mis « t lead to an indulgence , on the uar * . of the commWsioDer or the creditors , thereverBe
of flattering to their feelings . The public appear , however , not to have been by any means prepared for the development ot facts so perfectly damning to their reputation as men cf business , as those which were brought to light upon the occasion ; for what has been the conduct pursued by them for the last three-and-twenty years \ With a capital of £ 1 , 500 including the lease of the Broad-street premises , if f = nch a sum is worthy to be called a capital , Messr ? . Wakefield have been receiving , as bankers , cash to an unlimited amount , partly in deposit , and partly for investment , as well as securities in trust , the whole of which they nave , apparently without the smallest , hesitation , appropriated to their own purposes as often as their shameful extravagance produced a necessity for supplies . Every species of
property confided to their custody has been made away with , for all that remains out of nearly £ 100 , 000 ( tbe aggregate of their debts ) is a miserable aum of £ 5706 ( property , £ 4 , 951 , good debts , £ 755 , ) or say about one shilling in the pound , and , if the expenses be deducted , nothing like so much . The bankrupts state the amount of their profits , since January , 1818 , to be £ 73 , 706 . From these we deduct the sum put fdown for expences at £ 19 . 405 , and another sum or losses ( gambling losses on the Stock Exchange , of course , ) at £ 35 , 547 , which leaves a remainder of £ 18 , 754 to meet the expenditure of the two insolvents for the same period , amounting to £ 112 , 410 , the son having spent £ 37 . 256 , and the father the very modest amount of £ 75 , 154 ! or five thousand a year , of which four thousand was the money of other people , improperly converted to their personal
uses . " The elder Wakefield was a member of the Committee of the Stock Exchange , and Trustee and Treasurer of the Decayed Member ' s Fund . In the latter capacity he made free with Exchequer Bills to the extent of £ 4 , 000 belonging to superannuated jobbers , widows , and orphans , a sum which , hoWr ever , it is likely his co-trustee may be called upon to make good , as in justice he ought to be . He is clearly liable , and can , we understand , well afford to pay . " During the late examination at the Bankruptcy
Court an officer holding a commission in the army presented himself . After many years ' service and severe economy , the veteran had , it seems , placed in the hands of the bankrupts stock be had aequired for £ 10 , 000 . They transferred it , Bsade off with the proceeds , and he was thus robbed of every farthing he possessed . This we came as but one of the many miseries inflicted by i be » uj > rincipled conduct of parties engaged in money t ) i&sactions , and oeeupying a station calculated to im w * e * W > n the wmsjrj .

Leeds Watsu Works . —We call the attention of the inhabitants to an advertisement in our paper of this day , from which it appears we ara on the eve of receiving that great desideratum—a supply of pure water ; and for public , as well as private convenience and economy , landlords and tenants should immediately give notice to the company where the supply of water is required , which , we presume , will be general . The opening » f the streets and thoroughfares , and the various communications with private premises , should be simultaneous , whenever practicable , and this , in a great measure , will depend oa the dispatch with which landlords and tenants give the requisite notices to the company , for which , aad further instructions , see advertisement .
Botanical Gardens . —We visited these gar Jens on Wednesday night , when there was a good display of fireworks . We say good , because some people are apt to carp when there ib no occasion , and to attribute that to want of talent in the artist which is to be solely ascribed to the weather . That the designs exhibited on Wednesday were excellent , there is no doubt ; that had the weather been favourable , their execution would have given the greatest satisfaction , admits of as little question . The wind blew almost a hurricane , and it rained heavily during part of the exhibition , which is a sufficient cause why some of the pieces should fail ; and this was the case in only two instances—the exception , not the rule . The
performance of the New Zealand Chief is ajuggle—a complete humbug;—and we wonder at the proprietors of the gardens tolerating such a piece of buffoonery . The gardens are greatly improved , but still they do not pay , and for this plain reason—they are , in spite of all that can be said , kept closed on Sundays . Some of the narrow-souled bigots , wh » support this exclusiveness , would be glad to receive their dividends ; they need not trouble themselves , there will be none for them under the present system . They are cutting their own throats , and will be obliged either to give up the gardens altogether , or to sell them ; and then it must be without a Sabbath-day-closing clause in the agreement .

Bonfires were the result . Mr . Grant , the sub-inspector of police , brought out his men to preserve the peace ; he was at once seized and placed across a tar-barrel , which was lighted , and he was nearly burned to death ; he however escaped . The po ice were driven into their barracks . Mr . Grant has lodged information against a priest and several others concerned in the outrage . Armed parties are traversing the country in all directions , and it is reported that large bodies of armed men meet regularly on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny , and go through their exercise and evolutions every night .
Hanover . —The Hanover Gazette of the 17 th instant , publishes a proclamation . Betting forth his Majesty ' s reasons for having dissolved the late Chamber of Deputies , and stating that an assembly of the States would be convoked within the period prescribed , by law . The proclamation concludes by observing that the spirit of party , which is blind , could alone conceal from itself that the prosperity of the country would be infallibly compromised if the late course pursued by the majority of the Second Chamber , which has just been dissolved , should be persisted in .
Fatal Accident on the Northern and Eastern Railway . —On Tuesday morning last , a young man named George Chandler died at the London Hospital from the effects of the following accident : —It appeared that on the 7 th of July last , he was engaged in throwing gravel into a waggon on the line of railway near Broxbourne , Herts , when in stepping upon a mound of gravel he slipped , and fell sideways on the line of railway just at the time a train was passing , when one of the ballast waggons went over one side of his body , by which one of hisJe « and one of his arms were broken , and his spine much injured . The poor fellow died in very great agony , and the shocking catastrophe was admitted by him to have been quite accidental .

Richmond Corn Market , Saturday , July 2-U . We had a very thin supply of Grain in our market to-day , particularly Wheat , which was quickli bought up at an advance of Is . 6 d . per bushel Wheat sold from 9 s . to 11 s . ; Oats 3 s . to ii . \ Barlej 43 . to 4 s . 3 d . ; Beans 5 s . to 5 s . 9 d . per bushel . State of Trade at Stockport . —The utmost di * tresa prevails among the manufacturing population of this town , in consequence of the number of handi out of employ , and the Bhort time which has bee * worked at a number of mills during several months .
This ' -state * of things ,-we are sorry to say , is likely to be augmented , as the whole of the workpeople employed at Messrs . Lane's mills , situate in nigheu Hillgate , and Newbridge-lane , will be thrown oaj Of employment this week ettd—they having received notice , that the concerns wpl be closed , and their services no longer required . The above extensive establishments have for several years been working under inspection . Upwards of 4 , 000 hands will be thrown out of employment by the stoppage of these mills .
State OF Trade . —The gloom which bung ovei the Manchester market , in consequence of the coo tinental bankruptcies alluded to last week , has bees deepened by accounts of very extensire failures at Paisley , where thirteen houses are said to hav » stopped payment , at the latter end of last week , for an amount , collectively , about £ 300 , 000 . Though the immediate effect of these failures upon partiei resident in Manchester will probably not beveij serious , they are calculated to inspire great distrust , and , coupled with two or three failures which have recently occurred in this town , had , no doubt , i material effect upon the market yesterday , which was one of the worst that has been experienced during - 'the ' present year . Yarns and goods were
both depressed in price , and very few sales could ft ) made , even at the very lowest rates hitherto current , The depression was probably in some degree in . creased by the unfavourable appearance of the weather , which , after three or four comparatively ft . vourable days , has again put on a threatening appearance , and serious fears are now entertained that a late and defective harvest may be added to the other causes which press with such tremendous severity upon the manufacturing interests . Tw » large spinning and manufacturing concerns , one at Macclesfleld and the other at Stockport , which have been for some time past worked under the inspection of creditors , are about to be closed , in consequence of the unprofitable nature of the business . It is
stated that the stoppage at Stockport Will only be temporary ; but . that , we presume , must depend in eome degree upon the future state of tho trade . In the mean time , at all events , the effect upon the workpeople will be very serious . —Mancliester Guardian of Wednesday ; Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , July 24 . —There was a fair supply of Wheat , Oats , and Oattneal from Ireland , arid the arrivals coastwise are likewise to a moderate extent . Of Foreign Wheat and Flour the imports weronot large , but there aw 19 , 173 barrels of Flour and 2190 quarters of Wheat from Canada . At our market this morning holden of Wheat demanded an advance of 4 d . to 6 d . per 701 bs . and the transactions in Flonr were at an
improvement of 2 ? . per 2801 bs . on the rates ofthisdaj se ' nnight . Oats were held at Id . per 451 bs . advance . Of choice parcels of Oatmeal there were but few samples offering , and an improvement Of 6 d , to li per 2401 bs may bo noted ; and for Beans and prime samples of Malt we raise our quotations Is . per quarter and load respectively . Liverpool Corn Market :, Monday , July 26 .-We have this week had moderate arrivals « f British Grain , Flour , and Oatmeal . The imports of Wheat from Foreign States are liberal ; these , however , have been placed under the Queen ' s locks , and the arrivals of Wheat and Flour from Canada ( consisting of 3 , 049 quarters , and 15 , 381 barrels respectively ) , have also , for the most part , been pat into bond , under the expectation of the colonial duty falling to the minimum—6 d . per quarter , and 3 ^ d . per barrel . During the greater part of the
week , the weather has been unsettled , giving further excitement to the Grain trade , under which large transactions have again occurred in bonded Wheat and Flour at advancing prices ; 7 s . 6 d . to 7 a . 9 i has been paid for Baltic red , and 8 a . per 701 bs . for good mixed Danzig Wheat ; 26 s . 6 d . to 27 s . 6 d . per barrel for United States ; 33 s . to 343 . per barrel for Canadian Fiour .

London Smithfield , Monday , July 26 th . —Ob account of the arrival of Beasts up to our market this morning being considerably on the increase , anS the weather somewhat unfavourable to slaughtering the Beef trade was exceedingly heavy , at a depression in tho currencies noted on Monaaylast of' 4 i per libs . ; the highest price obtained for the best Soots being 4 s . 8 d ., and some portion of them were turned out unsold . From Scotland , we receited 200 Scots and 370 Sheep in excellent condition . We were very moderately supplied with Sheep , whilst the sale for them was steady , at fully last week ' s quotations . Although the number of Lambs on the market was small , the demand was heavy , at barely stationary prices . Calves were in fair supply , and
sluggish inquiry , at previous rates . In Pigs , scarcely anything doing . London Corn Exchange , Monday , July 26 .-There was a good supply of Wheat from Essex , and a fair quantity from Suffolk , but that from Kent mi only moderate ; and of Bailey , Beans , and Pe >« from all these counties , there was a very limited show . There were several cargoes of Oats fresh np from Ireland this morning , and a few vessels from our own coals and Scotland , with this article . T& 9 imports of foreign Wheat daring the past week were good , with a few cargoes of Barley , and a fair quantity of Canadian Flour . The weather having been more favourable sin < : e Friday , the trade was not so lively for Wheat as on that day , but the advance of Is . to 2 * . then obtained has bean established this
morning for all fine qualities of English , and our millers took the choicest samples more freely at the close of market ; good free foreign brought a > imilar improvement , with a steady demand . Bonded Wheat met a fair sale at Friday's quotations , which were 3 s . to 4 s . per quarter over those of last Monday and the . trade in this description was firmer than that for . free samples . Town-made Flour was put up to 60 .- ) . per sack to-day , and ship-marks wer « Is . to 2 s . per sack dearer . Barley , being scarce , was Is . per quarter dearer . Malt was quite as high » nd good samples were in fair request . Beans and Pe » 3 commanded an advance of Is . per quarter .
