TO THE FJFTr-NINE DELEGATES WHO A FEW MONTHS BACK ASSEMBLED AT THE HO ? FOLE INN , MANCHESTER , AND VOTED FOR THE CHARTER .
. Buothes Chartists—You appointed me , in consection -srilh Mr . Morris , to get up the placards ! announcing the meeting , and likewise to see that tbe ' sam-i -s-m ad \ efdsed in three of the Manchester papers , I which ts \ i 3 rtuly attended to . After the triumph had I bten caiccd , > ou , or rather a portion of you , assembled ! and agreed thfit you wcuM pay one half of the expence ! irccrxed In setting up the meetings , and it was alsa I understeod that Mr . Morris , by his own consent , would procure tbe other balf . " A resolution was passed at a subsequent delegate meeting , authorising me to make out -what I conceived to be a ~ fair levy for each delegate . The whole of tbe ! expfDces amounted to £ 5 12 s . ; the haif of which I am responsible for . I made a calculation of what would c < D"ver the debt , namtly , is . Cd . per head , and published ! the same in the Star . A fcw Lave attended to their
duty , whilst the many have neglected to do so . The partieB to whom the above sum is still owing , now call uvon me to sea thai bfcth tho advertisements and pk-; car ^ s are settled for . Net being able at present , ; to p ; y it myself , neither knowing the address of thoie vrho yet owe their portion , I have no other ; ultGiuitive thau eishtr to receive the balance of : th'JEe to -whom tho monty is owing , or to make this I public appeal to ycu—requesting you to come forward ' and ditcharge the deht , or at leust , as I have given all my trouble gratis , to take the responsibility off my houliiers . Ail that I fcave to say , so fur as I am u ' j = elf C'JSCeined , is that I have dune my doty . 1 hy < v suiii-red graat anxiety of mind , and have been at c-nsidtrable trouble and expense in tryir . g to collect the money . This ia the third time I have had to i mention the circumstance through the Star .
The conviction on mj mind is , that maDy of those trho were delegated have neglected to bring the mutter pr- ~ -pt ! " ] y btfore their consiituunrs , otherwise the trifling hiiu of Is . CJ . from each body would certainly have btcn paid .

Frightful Occurrence on the rivebt Medytat , ear Chatham—Seven Lms Lost . —On Monday > renoon last an occurrence of a most painful and LSttessing character took place on tbe river Med-¦ a y , between Chatham and Sheernesa , occasioned y a mau-of-war ' a fiig capsizing , by which , we ; gret to say , seven persons belonging to her lajesty ' s surveying steamer Shearwater met with watery grave . On inquiring into the circumstances : appears that soon after eight , o ' clock en Monday lOruing Lieutenant Cudlip of the steamer above lentioned , in company with Mr . T . Corral , the irgeon , left Sheerness in the captain ' s gig for the urpose of proceeding to Chatham Dockyard for a ipplv of provisions and stores , and also to witness
ie launches of the boliath eighty gun ship , and the r irago steamer . Six of the Shear water ' s crew went riih them , and it soems on their clearing Stangate Ireek , about three miles below Sheerness , a sail was oisted , and all way made on the boat so as to reach hatham eaTly . All went on faTourably until they rrived at the point in Jolly , or Pincup Reach ( near rillingham , about eight miles from Chatham ) , when sudden squall caught the mainsail of the lugsail ist as tho boat was rounding the point , and before aere was time to bring her to , the sail fouled round lie halyards and masT and insiantiy capsizsd , pre-Lpitating the whole of its crew into the river . The 3 eno that ensued is described to have been one of a lost aajouising description . There is no doubt many
of the unfortunate creatures , who were swimmers , could have saved themselves , but the whole of them Lieutenant Cudlip exceptcd , got entangled , in their Efforts to escape , with the sails and ropes , consequently they perished by being drawn down with the boat—she having at the time several hundred weight of ballast in her . Lieutenant Cudlip was sitting along with Mr . Carrol in the stern part , ef the boat steering , and at the moment of her overturning he contrived to throw himself out btyond reach of the sail , and thus escaped being drawn down by the rest of bis companions . Fortunately he caught hold of tho backboard of tbe boat , whioh by some means had been detached , aad thia k ^ pfc him from sinking . Hp , however , was floating about for upwards of three quarters of an hour before assistance came up when the Queen Victoria steamer , which left Chatham at twelve o'clock , bore down and picked him up : but
ho then was in & most exhausted condition , and evidently would have expired but for tho kiudness and attention of the master and crew of the steamer . The vessel brought to for some time iu thia hopes of securing some of the others , but none of ' thftin appeared above tbe furfaco of the water . The Victoria then proceeded to Sheernes , wnere Lieutenant Cudlip , was conveyed on board the Shearwater , which is lying off the Royal Dock-yard , where he remains in a dreadful condition . Directly on tba intelligence reaching Sheerness , a number of vessels started off to the place-where the occurrence happened , and commenced dragging for the bodies of the uniortunato sufferers ; but up to the period of the D ^ ke of Sujsjx steamer leaving Sheerness yesterday forenooa none bad been fouud . The event has produced the deepest sensation at Chatham and Sheerness . The Shearwater steamer ouly ' lufc Woolwich on Sunday last . —London Paper ^ Wednesday .
Whirlwind—About five o ' clock on Tuesday evening last , the inhabitants of Birkenhead were alarmed by ono of these unfrequent visitations of Providence . ISot a breath of wind was felt at -the time—" every leaf was at rest "—when suddenl y * a loud roar was heard , resembling the falling-of waters dowa a caiaract . This noise continued for about two minutrp , when tita wind came from the southeast , apparently embracing enly about eight yards in breadth , and its force was so powerful that it beat
down everything before it , shaking the hpasea it passed to their very foundations , and throwing up the water in the pits to a height of three or four yards . Providentially no other iDjnry was done than the breaking of some windows , and throwing dovro brick " , slates , &c . The passengers by the Chester train were coming up Jay-street at the time , and many of them were thrown upon the ground by tho wind , and others had their umbrellas tora to pieces . Tbe tffect of the whirlwind was not felt more than three minutes . —Liverpool Alaih

HOUSE OF COMMONS-Wednesday , July 20 . On the bringing up of the report on the Poor-Law Amendment Bii ) , Mr . EfcoTT moved a clause , that it shall be lawful for all B > ards of Guardians of the poor in England and Wales to grant such relief as in their judgment shall be necessary to poor persons at their own homes , any order , rule , or regulation of the Poor Law Commissioners notwithstanding . He had taken groat painB to get at what was the principle of the Poorlaw , but was still ignorant of it . If its principle were the denial of rdief except in tbo workhouse , then he strenuously opposed it , an < i believed that it could not long stand . A 3 a resident in an agricultural district , he knew from personal experience
t-W the in-door Inbour test was proc ' uctive of the very -worst . tffjets . The honest , hard-working labourer Tefbwid to go into the workhouse , and lingered Oil till poverty , and disease broko him down , vrbikthc idle and rr .: fi ]> att « -ent into it , and ^ otfat . He freely admit : ec : that ihere wer .-j evils contingent on the adoption of Ms proposition , but on th ' o ' wholo he thought that these evils were lesser in amount than tho » e attending the rvoikhouso test . He knew instances in which Beards ot Guardiaua violated tho law by giviDg ont-door relief , under tbe miiso of loans which they never expected to be repaid , and it was a shocking state of things to drive humane meu to violate an Act of Parliament . He called on the House to adopt his proportion before a coming winter laid its iron grasp on the poor .
On . a division the clause was rejected by a majority of 90 against 55 .
THE CHARTISTS . On reading tho order of the day for going into committee of supply . ; Mr . T . Duncoxbe rose , pursuant to notice , to move for a copy of the depositions taken on the trials of John Mason , a Chartist lecturer , and seven workiDg men , at the late qnarter sessions for the county of Stafford , together with copies of the indiotments , the notes of the chairman taken at the trial , and the names of the magistrates and jury before whom they
were tried ard convicted . Tnc Hon . Member said that he regretted extremely that it became his duty to interpose between the ltigbt Hon . Baronet anil that duly which he knew gave the House so much pleasure , ha . meant the duty of voting away the people ' s money . ( Chem and laughter . ) But this grievance w ^ s so urgent , the precedent was so daugrrous , that he had go-alternative but to call the attention of the house to the facts stated in the petition which he had yesterday presented from Siafford relating to thia E-vjM-ct . -
Lcrd Sakdon would put it to the Hon . Gentleman whether it was quit ; - fair to interpose on this occasioni when thery was no one present who was conversant with ihe subj-.-es . He s-uggested a delay of a day or two , in ordtr tbat time might be given to comrauiiica'o with the magistrates . That would bo more er > nv < Miknt , and perhaps fairer . Mr . T . Duxcombe thought it was rather extraordinary thac the Nuble Lord f-hould interrupt him after the notice which had been on tbe paper a whole day . Fairness outfit to be shown , nos to the chairman of the quarter sessions alone , but to the eight individuals who were now in ' Stafford M'aol , having been , as ho coutcm ' ed , -iUcij-lly commitied .

and thecouiitry should know what the working ciasscs were fiifiVriiig Tor their oijiuions . If these individuals had been tried at ilio assizes , or before any tribunal but the court of quarter sessions , they would have been hciiourably acquitted by the jury . However , he was in the bauds of the House , and if the Righ t Hon . Baronet wouid say , that on Friday or some early day he should havo an opportunity of bringing the caso forward , he should be content to waive tbe ri >; rH he bad to bring on a question oi giievancs on rea-iisg the order ror going iuto supply . He said that this was an unjust cciviction , and the rifcht of the House of Commons of holdiDg inquest of public grievances would be at . an end it ' these men wera to b 3 tried and convicted , as they had been , without notice being taken of it .
Sir J . Gbaiiam said , that it was clearly impossible that tbe committee of supply could close that night , and he thought that any other supply-day would , to the Hon . Gentlcmuu ' s sense of justice , bo much moto adrantageous for brinpug forward this SUbjCCt j because , by that lim ^ the chairman , and magistrates irii . ^ ht be communicated with , and both sides of the case be fairly presented to tbo House . Ho was net aware of the circumstances until last night ; rthen the Hon . Gentleman gave notice of his motion he was not aware that these parties had even been apprehended . There were no papers in his office that threw any light on the matter , it would , therefore , be utterly impossible for him to controvert any of tbe facts wnicb the Hon . Gentleman might state . Any one who read the petition would see how grave were the charges It made ; there were charges against the constable , against the magistrates , and the ohairman of the quarter sessions , who waa
accused of violating "his oath , and the jury of perjury / ' More grave subject of consideration could scarcely be brought forward , and , as he bad already observed , he was not now in a situation to enter upon if . \ ' Mr .

Baronet to say that he should have an opportnnity on Friday . Sir . J . Gbaham explained , that what ho had said to the Hon . Gentleman was , that he would not make any engagement to enter into any soch inquiry , unless the petition contained some charge against the magistrates or the constituted authorities .

The Anti-Corn Law men made their final struggle in Coventry , on Tuesday lasti For a week previous they had posted the town with bills , announcing a meeting to be held in the county Hail , which were headed , Starvation !

' ' ' ¦ ; . '"' . ;' - . ' :. ¦ ¦ : ' ' ¦ - - ¦¦ ; -- ; : ' ' . ¦ ' .-. A letter , inclosing one of the placards , was fiw >
warded to Mr . White , of Birmingham , which wa ; S read by him to a Chartist meeting , upon which it was resolved that he Bhould comply with the request contained in the letter , and proceed to Coventry on the day of meeting . asitappeared that great esertion 3 were being made to thrust the Complete Suffrage movement before the country , under the sanotion of the men of CqTentry . At twelve o ' clock , the county Hall was crowded , whilst hundreds were outsidei the' ; . doors' who could not gain admission . Mr . Libley Whittem was unanimbu ? ly called to the chair .
The CitAiRJiAN briefly alluded to the object for which the meeting was called , and introduced Mr . rATJNTorc , who rose to move the first resolution ^ ^ hioh wais a declaration of the distress which existed throughout the land . The speaker dwelt at some length on the misery endured by the people , and concluded by moving the ^ ^ resolution . Mr . BROOMFiEtD seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . The Rev . S . Watts , Baptist Minister , then moved the following resolution :-r
" That , in the opinion of thia meetingf the evils enumerated are mainly attributable to class legislar tion . That the restricted and unequal distribution of the elective franchisoj and the absence of any efficient pro ' . ection in its exercise , have enabled the lauded interest , . leagued with the representatives of other pestilent monopolies , to obtain , a paramount ascendancy in Parliament , thereby enabling theta to saorifico the iht ' erests of justice- and humanity to their sordid visw 8 ; of persorial aggrandisement . ^ Mr . J acobBbowett seconded tho resolution , which was put from the chair and unanimously agreed to . It ia necessary to state that the crowd outside the hall ' was sb « reat that the meeting was adjourned to St . Miohaers churchyard , which adjoins the Caunty Hall .

Mr . David Buckney moved tho third resolution , which gave rise to the opposition of the Chartists ; it waa as follows ; . "That in the opinion of this meeting the opening of the ports for tKb free importation of corn would be productiva of imtiiodia'e relief j but , that the only permanent security for the people against the crying evils -inflicted by unjust legislation is to be obtained from a Hou ^ a of Commons represeiiting the whole people , and elected upon- tko principles laid down in the document called the People's Charter , and adopted by the conference of the middle and working classes , hold ia Birmingham , in the month of April last . " Mr . Cash seconded the resolution .
Mr . Petkr IIoey then addressed the meeting , and was loudly cheered . Ha proceeded at great longth to shew that the free importation of corn would not produce the benefit which the resolution asserted . He objected to the latter part of the resolution which referred to tho Birmingham Conferenoe , and said , it % vas got , up for tho purpose of proping up the Corn Law Repealers . Ho also pointed out tho imnieriEe quantity of land which was uncultivated , as a means of supplying labour and food to the s ; arviu « people , aud said ¦ that tho Charter alone could remedy the existing misery Tiie rain which was falling for upwards of an hour , how increased bo mncb . as to compel the raemitigtp adjourn to the County Hall , and after the confusion had ceased which was caused by the rufh to obtain good places ,
Mr . Stoddaut arose , and was received with loud cheers . Ho Eaid he intended to move that the latter part of the resolution , ' . referring to the Birmingham Conference , be erased . Ho could not understand what they meant by parading their complete suffrage nostrum . If they were ChartistSi let them fall into the ranks of the people and be elected to office if they we ' re to take an active part . If they refused to do so , they were not Chartists . Who had author rised the partieB present to take the cOUrae they were then pursuing ! He had not authorised . them ; and he was determined that anything brought forward by them which was not in strict accordance
with Chanist principles , should meet with his disapproval . Tho working men of England had been too often made tho dupes o \ ' 'designing ; . parties , and less top ' last- sentence contained in the ' resolution , might be construed into an approval of the Complete Suffrage moveineut , he was resolved to take the sense of the meeting on it , lest it should go forth to tho world that the men of Coventry were in favour of the Complete Suffrage movement . He advised the working men to stand firmly by their own organisation—tlia National Charter Association , and never again to placo power in the hands of the middle p . lr . sse . a to dervive thoia . Mr . BtoddaTt pbncluded by
movinic"That tho words referring to the Birmingham Conference be erased , " And resumed his seat amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering-. Mr . Thomas Williams seconded the motion . Rev . J . Gordon , 1 ) nitarian Minister , arose to address the meeting , when a shout for "White " was raised from all parts o £ the meeting , upoti which Mr . Gordon save way . Mr . George White then stood forward ^ and was received with loud cheer ? , lie said he telt / proud ot the opportunity thus afforded him of meoting the middle-classes , and he would take care tliat before they left that meeting they should know what the working men meant . ( Loud cheere : ) He was
rt-joieea at the opportunity which was afforded him of explaining his views for himself without being subject to the 'dibbouest celoui-ing of a Whigf or Tory newspaper . The working men of England had assiRted the middle classes to get the Reform Bill . They were led to expect au iaiptovement in their conditiou through the operation of that Biil . But had they derived the promised benefit I ( No . ) Let the oppressed ' and impoverished band-loom weave < s of Coventry ansmr— had it increased their wages ? ( No . ) ho oil the contrary , tho very ; men whom they had struggled to : invest wioti power had proved their bitterest ' 'foes ' . ' Hid they not passed the Poor Law Amendment Act ? ( Cheers ' . ) ' Had they not filled the land with police spies and bludgeon men ? And
now , ho would ask those gentlemen . who wanted to repeal the Cora Lawy , how was it that they who were talking of giving the poor man a big loaf supported the New Poor Law , which allotted a pauper five ounce ? of bread for a meal I ( Lond and continued cheering ) . If they really wanted the Charter why upt . joiii . . with-the ; working men to obtain it ? Why not ,-join the National Charter Association : ? Why talk about 'Complete '"' Suffrage ? . Tho People's Charier was Co ' raplc . f . 6 Sufffajie , but Complete Suffrage was not the Char ttr . At the time that O'Connell was returned for ' the .-county . ' of Clare , he avowau hini 8 o ] f a liadical Roformer , and was congratulated by Mr . Cobbeib on the occasion , but after ward ' si-at a isweSiiig inl ) ubliu , he
'declared-himsell a CoBstnutional Reformer , aud Cobbett remarked veiy . justly , that Mr . O'Connell Was shifting his ground , and made use of ; the following words : — " Radical Roforni is Constitutional Reform , but Constitutional Reform is uot FLadical Reform . A marois a horse but a horse itsiiofc a mare" - ^( lau { 4 hter ) —to it was with Cocapleto Suffrage . They might be deceived by that tena , but there w ; as no means of deceiving ^ hei ^ whilst they abided ; by the Charter . Ha then went on at great length , to shew , the meeting the manner iti which the various political tricksters took up pviuciples which were popular as a means of gaining their own selfish . purposes , aiid laid them down whenever it suited them . He shewed up the object which the middle classes had in view , namely , the extension of trade , and said that the people of Manchester had the cotton
trade extended to suo ' n a decree , that tttOy wore scarcely able to live , and ho would appeal to themselves and ask whether the increase of the ribband trade had bettered their cdnditioh I Had they not been reduced time after time until they were brought to extreme poverty ? ( Yog , that ' s right ;) Mr ; White proceeded ; to expose the fallacy of the propositions brought forward ¦ : by the . ' * ' Fr « e Tride " advocates , aad remarked that the ribboiids woven in Coventry- went to decorate the heads of idlers , whilst their ; own wives were in ra » s . The cloth Woven at Leeds was sent to clothe foreigners , whilst the men who made it were almost naked . He therefore advised them to have nothing to do with the Complete Suffrageites or Corn Law Repeafers ^ Diit to stand , firmly by the Charter and the National Charter Association , and concluded by supporting the amendment . .
Rev . J . Gokdon opposed both resolutions . He ^ was favourable to Universal Suffrage , and considered the other points as guards for its exeicise . He would therefore object to the Charter as a whole . He like * wise objected' . to some of Mr . - . White ' s statemeate , and affirmed that the middle classes were not the tyrants that Mr . White represented them . Mr . Ratthay supported the ie 6 olution . He said that although a staunch Chartist he was inclined to adopt means for reconciling the middle and working glasses . He then read an extract from a newspaper which was copied fromBlaikwooiPsMagaxine , set ^ ting forth that if the ; middle classes were induced to throwi themselves into the arms of the Chartists it lyould ruin ; the landed aristocracy . For these reasons he would wiih to secure the assistance of the middle classes , ; : : ;' ,.: ¦ : ' . •' ¦ . " . ' . ; ' . ~ -. - - ^> - - ' : ^ Mr .

favour of giying every mau a vote ; but if he refused to agree to the other points of the Charter , ^ rhich was necessary to give effect , to that vote , it was like putting a horse into a field of oloyer , and placing a muzzle on him that he might not be able to eat : the horse might as well be turned to graze oh a causeway .. ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . David Shaw , of Nuneaton , made a neat and pointed speech , in which he showed up the incpnsistency of the middle classes , and wished that some mode could be devised to remedy the ; evils that existed * : :-. ¦ ¦ -,.. ' : : '¦ . - .. ¦ '¦ ¦ ¦ : . '¦ . ' . - ' - ' ¦ ' ; . ' ' . '' . ' . - ¦ Mr . Robert Mahon supported the amendment , a , nd shewed that the middle classes did not
ander-Btand their own position . It was the interesfc of the shopkeepers to assist th& working men to secure good wages , as their profits would be thereby increased , whilst it was the interest ' ; pf manufacturers to reduce wages ; they ought s therefore , to ; look for the support of the shopkeepers , fidt could not expect that of the manufacturers . He would therefore appeal to thoso having a similar interest with themselves , to join their ranks , and by giving tbeirxordial co-operation , put an end to the present agitation . Mr ; David Buckney then replied , and after
making various observations on the speeches of the parties who had supported the amendment , he concluded by urging the necessity of : passing the original resolution . v The : Chairman then put the amendment , and ; requested them to hoLi up both hands , when an immense forest was upheld , accompanied by loud cheer ? . " ' ¦ "¦¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' . -. ' ¦ ¦ " " : ' ¦ ' ' . - He then put the : original motion , and only feyr hands being held Up in its favour , he declared the amendment to bo carried . This announcement was received with ' 'tou'd chesrs , arid clapping of hands .
Mr . Rattray then moved a memorial ; to the Queen , founded on tho resolutions , to be signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meetings Mr . Mayo seconded ; the motion . Mr . Stoddart moved—M That those parts of the memorial which alluded to the repeal of the Corn Laws be erased from the memorial . " Mr . Gordon rose to order . He maintained that the memorial should be rejected altogether , or passed in its present form . .. " ¦ . ' . ' . •' ¦¦' . Mr . Stoddart then moved— ; . ' . ' . " That the memorial be rejected , and that instead thereof another should be adopted , calling ou her Majesty to dissolve the preseiit Parliament , '/ and call men to her Councils who would make the People ' s Charter the law of the land . "
Mr . Robert Mahon seconded the proposition . Mr . G . White , being again loudly called for , supported the ainendirient in a long address , during which he was frequently cheered . The amendment was then put by the chairmarij and carried unanimously , with the exception of two hands ... '; ' ¦ ' ¦• " " ¦¦ . . ' ¦ " ¦¦ ; ' : - '¦ ' ; : ' ¦ ' . ' •' ¦• The Chairman thon declared the amendment carried ; and the announcement was ; received with vehement choars . A committee of four was then appointed to drawup the Memorial to her Majesty , to bo afterwards signed by the Chairman . .
Gn the motion of Mr . White , three cheers were given to the" Chairman for his impartial conduct . The Chairman made a suitable acknowledgmeht ; after which three enthusiastic cheers were given for the Pepp ' e ' s Charter , and three for Feargua O'Connor , after which the 'meeting separated . Mr . White invited all who : intended to join the National Charter Association to follow him to the Chartist room , in Palmer-lane , where addressas were delivered by Mr . Stoddart , the Chairman , Mr-Rat tray , and Mr . White ; -after which sixty-eight members were enrolled . ;
The meeting lasted seven hours , beginning at twelve and ending at seven o ' clock ; and a greater devotion to principle was never exhibited than has been shewn bythe working men of Coventry , who are known to bo the most intelligent working men to be . ibuud in England , for they have scores of good lecturers in their own body . Honour to the men of Coventiry Men of England follow their noble example .

London Smithfield Market , Mondat , July 25 . —Since the passing of the new tariff , much aoxicty has naturally been manifested by graziers , salesmen , iSto ., to ascertain the probable amount of supplies of ^ tock which will be henceforth derived for this aiid Other English markets from abroad . As yet , however , not a single head of ether beasts or sheep bag come to hand for that purpose , while we may bo permitted to observe that the paragraph which found its way into tiie columns of most of ; . the'London sud provincial press last ; week ,: to the . tffect thai four balls had been imported fronx the Hpner part of the Rhine , undertho existing regulations at tho Custoins , has no faundation ia truth . We admit that the
stock in question , which was of extraordiuary meritj has come to hand , but they have been sent hither solely as presents to a neble house in this country ; and , in order to verify our assertions , we have to ^ tite that a council order for their admission , duty free , as ia usually the caso in suoh instances , ha , d b * eeu lying in the metropolis at least a month previously to the present bill coming into operation . That further 8 uppii < 38 will come' to hand we entcr-. taiii little doubt , as by letters which reached us on Friday , we had advices of a few beasts having arrived at Hambarg for shipment by the steamer which was to leave that port on that day , and which is expected to reach the Jfool this afteruoon . Much caution is , we perceive ,
apparent on : the part of the German , Dutch , and French owners of stock , many of whom have lately visited this market , in order to make inquiries into ihe value of things here . The arrivals of beasts fresh up todaf comprised 1500 short horns , &c ., from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , Northamptonshire , and our northern grazing districts ; 300 Heretords , Djevphs , and runts from the western and midland counties ; 100 Scots , homabreds , and runts from Norfolk , Suffoid , Essex ,. and Cambridgeshire ; 250 from other paTts of England ; aad 80 horned and polled SsotSj bat . chieny the latter , b y sea from Dundee . The above buliock supplies being somewhat less thanwere
those exhibited on this day week , and the attendance of buyers being irathsr numerous , the beef trade wa 3 6 teadyj though not very brisk , and the prices had in some few instances au upward tendency . With sheep we were moderately well supplied for the time of year ; the priiiiest old downs commanded a ready inquiry at full rates of currency , but wish most other breeds the trade was slow at last week ' s quotations . There was a large number . of lambs brought forward , which hid a depressing influence ; upon the Bale for them , . and the latfi low ciirreneiea were with difficulty maintained ; Calves wera ia short supply and sluggish inquiry at thsir previous figures .

[ FROM THE XONDON PAPERS OF FRIDAY . ] HOUSE OF LORDS . The House only sat a short time . Tho business was merely routine .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . Mr . Thomas Buncombe brought on his motion with respect to the state of tho country . After contrasting the conduct of the ministerial party when in opposition with that of the present opposition , he expressed regrot at tfco apathy evinced by the majority of the House respecting the diBtrcss of the country—a distress which threatened social dissoiutioji , and which rendered the peace and tranquillity of the country not worth forty-eight -hours' purchase . The people had hithtrto Buffered in pa-ti . en . ee- and with hope ; but hope was
vanishine ; . a , nd jthe winter was approaching . Confident expectations were uttered with respect to an early and abundant harvest ; but the Mark lane Express authoritatively discouraged any anticipations ot ' that nature . Ho called on tho House to cn ' ertaVn Taiu motion , which was for au address to her Majasty , praying that if no amolioration tako place ia the condition of thecpuntrv at an early period after the'probation of Parliaiiieiit , ! l may be speodily called together again , in order to devise means to give an impiilge to trade and industry , and avert those calamities which the inclemency of winter must produce . Mr . Wxrd ( Sheffield ) seconded the motion .
A great deal of "talk" ensued .. '• The motion was of course Opposed by the Ministers , Sir" James Graham reminding the " House" thai , in , the month of October , to which -period . [ t , iva 3 proposed toadjourn j the members would all bepheasantshooting !! An attempt was also made to a ^ 'journ the debate , but this also was opposed ; and ca a division , the numbers were : ^— "¦ ¦¦ ¦ - Against the motion ... ... 147 For it ... ... ... ... 91 Majority against it ... ... ——56
