      i Horrid Death . —An inq ' . icst was held on Tuesday ; last L-y iir . Griffith Jones , coroner lor the county e i ¦ Merioneth , on the body of John Roberts , 1 » me-buru-jr i to Mr . Edward Owen , of Garthynhareri , when it r . p . ¦ peared that John Jones had on thv ; mor jiim of M . on-! day , the 24 ch Hit .,, been in company with the . de-. ceased , drawing lime from vhe kiln a ? Ganbissf , and that on h ; s return from breakfast he found John j Roberts in the centre of the kiln , plunged up to his ; knees in the burning lime . He - Was in an upright ! position , with his hands raised si jOve Ws head . Tho body appeared a complete burn / ug . mts 3 : and on a i chain being passed round the t rUnfc , it was dragged | out , charred to « cinder . A lr JKe ifoQ bar , used for I poking the lime from the kil' > was "resting near the 1 deceased , but there was no ' evidence to sh » w how he ! had falien into the kiln .

      Dreadftji . Explosv jy . —Abont fix o ' clock on Saturday evening a or eadful explosion of gas took plaee ' in Bell-street , Birmingham , near the Market Hall , and consequej , tly in the most bustling part of ! { he town . The tf ainage was confined to a small ' shop , which was Ieyeile 4 with the ground . The 1 ocenpier of the pj emises , who is a tailor , is named ; Skinner . At tb » moment the explosion took place j he was engaged , in his business , and was buried in j the ruins , froir ; which he was afterwards rescued by the policemei i , in a state of great exhaustion , and

      with several Vearful bruises abont his head and person , which rvnder it very doubtful whether he will hereafter recover ; indeed , but little hope is given of his life . A boy , of the name of Daniel Lawley , was passing at the tiznr , and received a severe blow upon his head and neck . The explosion was caused by the bursting of a gas-pipe in the middle of the street . The gas found its way under ground for several yards , and ultimately entered the shop through a fissure in the floor ; the moment that a light was introdneed it caused combustica . The furuiture is much burnt and injured .

      Eastbourne , —Wrbck . —In the very heavy gale on Tuesday afternoon , about fire o ' clock , a large barque of 500 tons burden , carae ashore on the " Boulder Bank , " between Beachy Head and this place . She , however , lifted ov < . r the loank and grounded ju » t opposite the Sea-houses . Happily tho hands , consisting of five men and two boys , were sared . It appears that the Jane L" > wden sail ng from Miramichi fell in with the unfortunate vessel , ( tho Watts of Plymouth , with timber from Quebec ) in the middlo of the western occ'an ( long 38 . J by chronomt-ter ) vrattr logged , and the crew on the point of abandoning her , and taking refugo <> n board a brig which had hove-to for the purpose of rendering assistance . This they did ; but the first maieof the Jane Lowden having examined the deserted

      ship and found that , notwithstanding there was a great quantity of water in the hold , sho was not a " 'together unmanageable , volunteered with the assistance of the crew cbove enumerated , though the original crew was nineteen in number , to attempt to bring her into port ; which bold attempt , after much distress from short , provisions and the dangerous state of the craf ; , they had so nearly accomplished as to have got her into the Channel , when bein ^ overtaken by tho late gale , she could not be « Gt to answer thr tnlm , and was run ashore as above stated . The mate , Richard Coaker , and his JittJo crew wero much exhausted when taken off the wreck . There can be no doubt that they will—as they ought to do —meet a fitting reward for their gallant and intrepid conduct in attempting such an exploit . —Sussex Advertiser .

      fLocal an& &cneral JztxtelliQience , OLDHAM—A Concert . —On Monday last , the pnpils of Mr . Joseph Winterbottom gave a public concert to a Isree and crowded audience , in the Lyceum Class Room . The piece ! were of a firstrate character . The pupils acquitted themselves in a manner highly creditable to their teacher . LEEDS . —Thief and Receiver . —On Tuesday last , a mechanic named John Holmes , who has been for some time in the employ of Messrs . Horner , Dockray , and Co ., machine makers , in Meadow-lane , was brought up at the Court Hous ** , on a charge of having stolen a quantity of working tools , materials , &c , the property of his employers . The prosecutors haTe of late missed considerable property from their

      premises , without being able to trace how it went , but not without some suspicion attaching to the prisoner . On Monday , he was seen to knock the handles off two files , and to secrete the latter in a place convenient for carrying away ; in this , however , he did not succeed , in constquence of being closely watched , but so Firang-- was his conduct , that policeman Thompson was sent , for , and he was given in'o custody . On Mr . Horner appearing at the police office , he was shown a very large quantity of Lrass and iron materials , which had been taken by the police from Robert Wi'kinson , a wholesale

      dealer in ra ^ s . &c , in the Cail =, who stated that he had bought them at different times , but did not know from whom—a man with a velvet jacket was the best description he could give . The whole , or nearly the whole of this property , was identified by Mr . Horner as the property of himself and partners , and which had Seen stolen from their premises . Wilkinson , when shown the prisoner , could doc pay whether it was he that he bought the property of or not ; the magistrates , therefore , ordered him into eustody , and the charge of" receiving" was preferred against him . Boih prisoners were committed for trial at the sessions this week .

      EjiBrzELiNG Monet—On Tuesday last , a young man named Edward Rinder , was charged before the borough magistrates , with Laving embezzled a sum of £ 2 10 s ., the property of Mr . Rcnton , a farmer and milk man , of ileanwood . The offence was commuted in the month of January , 1841 , at which time the prisoner was in Mr . Renton ' s employ , and went round to his customers with milk . The money was paid to him in one sum , by Mrs . Ripley , wife of Mr . John Ripley , one of the master ? af the free grammar school , to whem he isprpsented that he had been sest by his master to receive the same ; and , after having obtained it , he ai > & : onded , and had not sin ^ e been heard of . The nia ^ 5 tratc 5 committed the prisoner for trial at the next . « ssions .

      ChabC-e of Pocrit Picking . —On Saturday last , two lads named Thomas Reynard and Thomas Brewer , were brought up at the Court House on a charge of having abstracted a -: um of money from the pocket of Mt . Brown . Brown stated , that on Friday evening , he was landing in the street talking with another man , when two lads passed him , and one of them , i * ie prisoner Reynard , ran Bgainst him as if by accioeDt , but he directly missed his money ; be could vot swear ihat Brewer was the other lad , though he was sure as to the identity of Reynard : nor could . it be proved by any one , that the two bad been seen . together at all , though they were known to be compa . iions . Brewer was consequently discharged , and Reynard was sent to Waken ' eld for two months .

Beerhouse , at Beeston , was summoned before the mag » strates to answer a charge of suffering card playing ; n his house , contrary to the terms of the license .

      Stealing Leap . —On Monday last , four young lads , who could scarcely bo seen above the side of j the dock , were brought up at the Conn House , on a I charge of having stolen a quantity of lead , from p ., Bpout on the premises of Mr . Wilson , in School Close . The charge was pretty clear against them all , and with the consent of their parents , they were flogged and discharged . Their names are George Day , Samuel Colley , Henry Colley , and Henry DowesB . Stealing a Cap . —On Saturday last , one of the

      numerous tribe of juvenile tbievts , with which the town is infeBted , was brought up at the Court House , on a charge of having stolen a oloth cap , the property of Mr . Potter , in Kirkgate . He was taken by » policeman , with the cap in bis breast , and which he eaid be had bought of another boy for ninepence , but it would not fit him at all , nor did his story bear any marks of probability about it , as it had only been stolen a short time , and he was apprehended not far from Mr . Potter ' s Ehop . He was cent to Wakefield for a month .

      The late Wool Robbery at Armlet . —We stated laBt week that the workshops of Mr , Whitoley , of Armley , had been broken into , and a quantity of black slubbing and white wool stolen . On Friday last , from information obtained by Inspector Child , he obtained a search warrant , and went to the house of Mr . Thomas Grimshaw , a Btnail manufacturer of Farsley , where be found both wool and blubbing corresponding in weight and quality with that fatten , Mr . Grimshaw said he had bought it , but to give him an opportunity of proving this , be was taken before a West Ridiiig magistrate at Leeds on Saturday , on

      a charge of embezzlement under the worsted act ; this charge , however , was dismissed by the bench , and Child then set about to detect tho thieves , if possible . He succeeded in auprehendiug three young men , whoso names are Broadbent , Wilson , and Wade , who were brought before our Leeds magistrates on Tuesday , but from Child not being able to get his witnesses ready , they were remanded until Wednesday , when they were committed for trial . A charge was also preferred against Grimshaw for having received tke property , and ho was committed for trial with the others . Up to last evening their trials had not como on .

      Strange and Serious Accident . —A very singular and serious accident occurred in this town on Saturday forenoon . A young lad uamed James Ar . derton , whose parents reside at the Medical School , was rcturuiug lrom an errand ou which he had been sent by his master ( Mr . Harrison , solicitor ) , along Commercial-street , and whilst passing the Leeds library a portion of the " volute" from the capital of one of the pilasters in front of that building , became dbiucbed , and fell upon his head , producing concussion of the brain ; under which he has since continued r without the slightest hopo of his recovery . Ho w ^ s taken up and ri moved to the infirmary , but was afterwards taken home , The sioue Bcems to have struck the right side of his head , but there is no external injury to denote it , the whole of his rizht side , however , appears to be

      affected by it , for he has not since moved his right arm , and only slightly tho leg . Wo have not heard ot any satisfactory statement of the cause o £ the stone falling , h appears to be of a very porous nature , and if the capitals had becomo cracked from any cause , the probability is that tho rather eudden change of weather had finished the work of demolition . The capitals of the other pilasters were examined without delay , and we perceive that most of the volutes have been removed ; it would appear , therefore , as if the stone had suffered complete decay . Every means have been resorted to to relieve the sufferer , but without effect ; lie died on Wednesday morning , and an inquest was held before John Blackburn , Esq . the same evening , at which the above facts wsrc deposed to , and it was shown that the piece of stone weighed from 30 to 40 lbs . A verdict of " Accidental death" was returned .

      HUDDEESFIELD . —On Tuesday last a whole beast was brought from tho Marsh , considered unwholesome meat , and burnt in the shumbles by order of the authorities , to the great annoyance of tho snopkeepers in that locality . The stench was horrid . A Child Burnt . —On Wednesday morning last , between eight and nine o ' cloek , the inhabitants of King-street were thrown into great alarm by the following circumstance . A little girl about eleven year ? of age was left alone in her father ' s shop , ( Mr . Fa went , tinman , ) in which was a stove , tho door of which she threw open . The flames burst from the Btove with Buch force as to set fire to the girl ' s clothes ; iu which state she ran into the street , when sho was immediately enveloped in flames . She was soon overtaken , and the fire subdued , but not without injuring the child very much .

      BRADFORD . —On Tuesday evening , the sons of . Crispin held their anniversary at the houso of Mr . Ellis , Boy and Barrel , Wcstgate . An excellent supper was provided , which did credit to tho landlord , and after the oloth was removed , Mr . Lockwood was called to the chair . Several toasts were drank and responded to . Mr . Smyth distributed a number of tracts of What is a Chartist V Several professional siugars entertained the company to a late hour . The whole reflected high praise on Mr . Ellis , the worthy landlord .

      Found Dead . —On Friday , a tailor , named Thomas Smith , of Thornton , was found , by a person travelling on the road in that township , laid upon his side , and apparently dead ; he tried to arouse him , but he only bobbed twice , and then expired . Au inquest was held the same evening before G . Dyson , Esq . and a verdict of " Died through exposure to the weather , " returned , be having uo marks of violence upon him . On Fiudat last , a waggoner in the employ of Mr . Butterworth , Keigtley , was returning home from Bradford market with bis team , and on arriving at Cottingly Bridge , he appears to have fallen , as he was found laid upon the road quite dead , the wheel having passed over bis head .

Departure of the Great Western . —Thig noble steam-ship left her moox'ings in the King'sroad , Bristol , at twenty minutes before three o ' clock , p . m ., on Saturday last . Owing to the new American tariff her cargo was but light . She carries out one hundred and ten passengers .

      United States . —By the arrival of the New York packet ship South America , Captaia Bailey , we have papers from that city one day later than have been conveyed by the late arrival of the steam ships Great Western and Acadia . The South America , brings twenty-fivo cabin passengers , and her steerage is quite full of returned emigrants . The newtf , which is only one day later , is not important . ^ Recovery of ajj Infant , after being Lost Eleven Months . —Eleven months ago , a nurse- ^ irl was playing in Chester-street , Hulme , with a child in her arma about nine months old , when a woman came to her . and promised her a penny , if she would go an errand for her to a shop , and iu the meantime she offered to hold the baby . The girl gave the

      child to the woman , aud went into the shop ; but , on her return , both woman and child had disappeared . Of course , the parents of the child , Mr . and Mrs . J . Shore , shopkeepers , Flora-street , Hulme , made every inquiry , and offered rewards , but without being able to learn anything of their lost child , which , however , was found again on Friday morning last , under the following circumstances : —Mr . Shore has some relations in Stockport , and , they are aquainted with a youDg woman , who is an inmate of the Chorlton Union Workhouse , in Sirotford New Road . This woman was at Stockport , a few days ago and while drinking tea with Shore ' s relations , she mentioned that she was employed in the workbouso to take care of a child rather more than a year and a half ole , who was called Vlary Penny , from the circumstance , as she understood , that she had been sold for a penny . This excited the curiosity

      of her hearers , and on further inquiry they were led to believe that the child might , probably be ihat of Mr . Shore . One of the parties accord-Dgly came over to Manchester , and mentioned the circumstance to him , and application was made at the Workhouse for ? information relative to the child . At first this application was unsuccessful . Mr . Scott said , that the story was altogether improbable , and he could find no entry of any such child on the book ; but tho parents wero not to be thus satisfied , and , ou a third applicaiiou , the woman who had the caro of the child was called and examined by Mr . Scott . She produced the child , and told what she knew of its having been brought to the workhouse ; and , although ihere was no entry in the workhouse books , there could be no question that the child was xMr . Shore ' s ; a faot which was placed beyond a doubt by a mark on its left arm . and the

      production of the clothes in which it was brought to the house . The perton who brought the child to the workhouse stated tbat it had been left with a girl in Lawton-Btreet , by a woman who gave her a penny to hold it , while she went to a shop to make some purchases . The girl waited two hours in the street but the woman never retnrned , and she then took it home , and was scolded by her mother for taking charge of it . The most extraordinary part of the affair is , that the child should have been for eleven months not more than 400 yards from its own home , without its parents being disoovered . — . fl / ancAfster Guardian .

      Singular Case . —The following novel case occurred on Thursday last at the Limerick quarter sessions : —Edmund Roche and Catherine Roche were called by the clerk of the peace to take their trial for larceny of butter . On being arraigned , it was found that they were both dumb ; the clerk of the peace then ( according to law ) empannelled a jury , to try if they were mutes by the visitation of God , or otherwise . The jury found that they were so by the visitation of God . It was then requisite to have an interpreter who could swear that he understood the signs of the mu ^ ee , and that the mutes understood him , but the Crown not being aware of the circumstance , were unprepared with such an official , and the trial was postpoaed to next sessions . A case such as this ia not remembered to have occurred

One witness , named James Chum , spoke iu condemnation of the prison , and Curtis , the turnkey , asserted that the day-cells were in no case damp , and showed that Churm , the above witness , had been twice punished for breach of the prison rules . There being no further evidence to offer , and it being past five o ' clock , the Coroner adjourned the inquest until twelve o ' clock on Tuesday .

      Lambeth . —The Lambeth Youths met as usual at Blackburn ' s coffee rooms , 1 , China Walk , when an eloquent and instructive lecture was delivered by W .

      Finsbury . —At a well attended meeting of the Chartists of tais place on Monday evening last , called for the purpose of considering the proper steps which they ought to take with respect to the Completo Suffrage movement , the following resolution was carried with but two dissentients , being supported by Messrs . Knight , Watts , Bently and others . " . That , we , the Chartists * of Finsbury , being of opinion that a great , unanimous and determined concentration of the energies of all classes of reformers advocating our principles , can alone effectually stem the torrent of persecution , which has swept away in its devastating career many of our best and boldest leaders , and still overhangs with threatening aspect the heads of those who nare to riso and defend the unenfranchised

      serfs of Britain , aud in order to effeot this union , we do ( though determined never to abate one jot of the Charter , ) authorise an address to be prepared by tho members of tho Council , in the name of all present , stating , that while we are willing to cooperate with the Complete Suffrage Association on the broad ground of principle , we do not think the plan of delegation laid down in the address of tho Council of the Complete Suffrage Association , such as will provide a full , free , and fair representation of the opinions of the people , for the one great reason , that one half the delegates having to be chosen by the electors only , will be giving to each one elector the same influence as every seven or eight nuo-electors will possess , thus at once destroying the equality of representation .

      ADDRESS OF THE CARVERS AND GILDERS' LOCALITY . Brother Democrats , —ThiB locality having been recently formed , and this being the first subscription we havo been enabled to make , to the great cause of Political Reform , we feel that some apology is neceBsary to our brother Democrats on entering at this protracted period , into the great contest of Chartism . And also an address to all classes , explanatory of the motives that stimulated us at this time to take our stand under the banner of reform .

      Although this locality has only been established at the present time , previous attempts were made by old adherents of the democratic cause , to introduce the important question of politics , as a trade measure ; but , having met with opposition froia nume :-ous individuate , this attempt was abandoned , and a few who felt friendly to the cause , formed themselves into atlocality of the National Charter Association , hoping to increaso our members , as our principles besomo known , and as the necessity for ( heir adoption appears evident . Accordingly , a

      Untitled Article

      meeting was called , and seven took out cards of membership on our first night of meeting , with four who were previously members of another locality , making eleven ; since then we have continued to meet once a week , adding to our number each night ; thus we hope to accomplish by degrees what we could not do all at once . It must be consolatory to the feelings of those who have loug laboured in the cause , to learn , that as Chartism grows in age , it grows in strength . As to the motives which led us to take up this question , we felt convinced , as every reflecting mind must feel convinced , that the possession of property is a false criterion of political rights . And , though

      the working classes of this country have for ages been defrauded of their just right to the Suffrage , we feel assured that antiquity , however remote , does not legalise the fraud . But what gave a greater impulse to this step was the late barbarous and unconstitutional proceedings against the right of public meeting , and against the leaders of the people , those worthy patriots who have come forward to enlighten the people , to rouse them from their apathy , and buTSt those fetters that have long enthralled them . We sympathise with their wrongs , and feel it our duty to come forward and cheer them with our approbation , and give our mite towards the support of their suffering families .

      When we take a retrospective survey of society for the last half century , we find that the discoveries of scientific men , the adaptation of machinery , and improved systems in our manufactures , have all tended to increase the productive power of this country , and add to the luxuries and refinements of the higher and middle classes , —and when we . ask the important question , —have the working classes advanced in tho Fame ratio , in refinement , in morality , and in affluence ? No ! is the simultaneous reply of the toiling millions . We are year after year sinking deeper and deeper in degradation , in poverty , and in crime , doomed to a life of penury and toil ; we waste our strength , for a scanty physical existence , and sink into a premature grave ,

      and that , while our granaries are teeming with plenty , our warehouses loaded with superabundance , and our artisans and labourers wandering the streets for want of employment . When we contrast the woeful condition of the working classes with that of the higher orders—when we witness the enormous masses of wealth which many of them possess , ' and the manner in which it is squandered on prostitutes an ! favourites , and every vice a vitiated imagination can conceive—we can come to no other conclusion , than the great source of thoso enormities is class legislation , which has deranged the balance of justice , by giving » 11 power and patronage to an insignificant minority of the nation , while it has robbed the great majority of their just and sacred rights .

      It has been alleged of Chartists , that they are destructioni 3 ts ; that they wish to demolish the institutions of the country ; that they want a division of property , and that they are too ignorant to entrust with the Suffrage . Let us glance at those assertions . It is a scandalous libel on the Chartists , to fay that they wish to destroy any useful institution ; it is the desire of Chartists to remodel the fundamental errors of our institutions , and refoMB the abuses that have crept into them . As to a division of property , wo say with Rosencrant * , " there is no such stuff iu our thoughts . " Weareawaro that under a competitive system of society , inequality of property must exist . Wo know that happiness ia not measured by the amount of our possessions . What we

      demand is equai political rights , not equal division of property . But then comes the charge that we are too ignorant to be entrusted with tho franchise , and this is the unkindesfc cut of all ! Not content with defrauding the working classes of their political rights , and plundering them of the produce of their labour , they impiously add incult to injury , and tell us that we are too ignorant to be entrusted with the franchise . If we are too ignorant , what is the cause of our ignorance \ Is i f . our incapacity to learn ? Is it our lack of desire for knowledge ? is it that our bloated priesthood have neglected their duty ? or , is it that the present degraded condition of the working classes has so

      brutified our minds , and engrossed our time and attention in acquiring tho physical wants of our nature , that we have no time left for moral and mental cultivation 1 We ask the question , and leave the present class-formed government to answer ' it . For our part wo feel assured that we have more to dread from the cabalistic intrigueB of the present exclusive system , than the so-styled ignorance of the working classes . When the people obtain a more enlightened Government , chosen by themselves and under their control ,... this iguorance will quickly be dispelled , as the vapours and gloom of night are dispelled by the genial influence of the sun .

      < We fear that we are intruding on your valuable time , but we cannot conclude this address without calling ou our fellow working men of all denominations , to unite to gain the great principles of Chartism , till in its accumulated strength it sweeps away for ever the barriers of exclusive selfishness , and establishes in Great Britain and Ireland , % government elected by the wholo people ; under the control of the wholo people j and representing the interests of the wholo people . C . Hutchings , President .

      LETTER FROM MR . JOHN CAMPBELL . 180 , Holborn , Thursday Morning . Brother Democrats , —I am again amongst you . I should not have written to-day but for two circumstances that came to my knowledge yesterday and last night . The first is , that on my arrival in Birmingham from Manchester , en route ¦ to London , I asked a friend of mine , who is in employ as a porter on the railway , to get me an Evening Star as quick as possible . He Baid to me . I wish I could , but the directors have forbidden the sale of the Northern and Evening Stars at the station . As many have not an opportunity of knowing , I will inform them that at all the large stations , there is a person who sells all the

      most prominent daily and weekly newspapers . Every sort of paper , from the Times to the Age , is permitted to be sold , except" the two Stars ; such ia the system that is carried on to damn the people's papers . Ought not this to be a stimulus to every Chartist in England , Scotland , and Ireland , to push their own pre 99 ? Every locality throughout the kingdom ought to take one or more Evening Stars . Nay , where twelve individuals are able , they ought to subsoribo twopence per week each , and ts . ko in the S : ar . When parties are too poor to subscribe twopence per week , they ought to subscribe one penny , and by this means twenty-four persons could take it in regularly . Working men , push the Star into every coffee-shop ano place of resort .

      The second circumstance is this , that after I was sent out of town to Manchester , one of tho polioemon who assisted in arresting me , called to see my wife , and said if she would inform him where Dr . M'Douall resided , he would pay her down fifty pounds on the nail , and he would take steps . ihat I should be released . She said , '" No ! I would not tell you if you would fill this shop with sovereigns ! " I wish I had been at home , I would have sent the fellow , probably to Vienna or St . Potersburgh , on a wildgoose chase in search of the worthy Doctor . Cards are again in readiness ; in the meantime , I subscribe myself , Your brother democrat , J . Campbell .

      Leeds Woollen Markets . —There has beeu more business done in the Cloth Halls , and a better demand for goods in tho warehouses , during the week , than has been tho case for some time past . Some orders ( perliaps limited ) have been executed for the United States , on which the additional duty of twenty per cent , imposed by the American Tariff , will have to be paid . . There is also a little more doing in the wool trade , but prices are very low . York Corn Market , Oct . 29—We are fairly supplied with Grain to day ; and from the improvement noted in Wakcfi « ld yesterday , our farmers have been asking much higher prices ; and though our millers and factors are not keen buyers at the advance , we must quote Wheat Is . to 2 * . per qr ., and Oats jd . per stone , higher , and Barley is in demand , at late prices .

      Malton Corn Market , Oct . 29 th . —The quantity of grain offering to this day ' s market is moderate . Wheat is Is and in some cases , 2 i per quarter dearer .

      HUDDERSFIELD MARKET , TUESDAY , OCT . lST . ~ Our market shis day was not quite so good as last week , yet a fair quantity of goods were sold . . The warehouses are not so busy ; great numbers of operatives are unemployed , and it is to be feared they will experience a Bevere winter . "Wools , oils , &o , nominal . Newcastle Corn Market , Oct . 29 . —Owing to a large annual fair held here to-day we had a . very short supply of country wheat at market this mom . ing , and the arrivals from the coast being also light the whole was readily cleared off at an advance or

      fully 1 b . per quarter on the prices of this day se ' nnight . In foreign Wheat there was rather mote doing , but no advance can be noted . Rye is a very dull sale . The arrivals of Barley are not very considerable , but very many of our maltsters have not yet commenced , and , in consequence , the supply exceeds the demand , and the sale is dull at our quotations . Peas met with more inquiry without any advance in price . Beans are neglected . Malt is a slow sale . We had a very moderate show of Oats today , which were a ready sale at last week ' s prices Flour is in plentiful supply , and the sale is dull at Is . per sack decline .

      State of Trade . —Although there was no material change yesterday , in the demand , and certainly no advance in the prices of goods or yarn , there was , upon the whole , a healthier and steadier feeling in the market than during the two or three preceding weeks . Stocks are still exceedingly light , and many spinners and manufacturers working under , contract ; so that prices do not seem likely to be further reduced . —Manchester Guardian ot Wednesday . Rochdale Flannel Mabket , Moi » Dir , October 31 st . — Wo have had a busy market to-day , and flan * nels of the finer qualities have a good demand . — Dyed goods have also been eagerly sought after , and the market has been entirely cleared of them by Scotch buyers , who do not often attend this market . Notwithstanding this ready sale , there is not the least improvement in prices . Wool still re * mains stationary in price ; and the manufacturers buy very sparingly .

      Liverpool Cattle Marbet , Monday , Oci . 31 . — We have had a smaller supply of Beasts at the market to-day than last week , and the quality the Fame as of late , the greater part being superior . Prices about the same . Beef 5 d to 5 id , Mutton 5 d to 6 d per lb . Number of Cattle at market . "—Beasts 1801 , Sheep 6 , 053 . Richmond Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 29 . — We had a very large supply of all kinds of Grain ia our market to-day . Wheat sold from 53 to 6 i 9 & ; Oats 2 s to 3 s 8 d ; Barley 4 s to 5 s 9 d ; Beans 53 to 5 s 3 d per bushel .

      Liverpool Corn Market . —Monday Oct . 31 . —In the early part oi the week a few small cargoes of Wheat , Oats and Oatmeal , got up from Ireland , but we have since had scarcely any arrivals except steamers , aud the week's imports of these articles are comprised in 2416 qrs ., 4584 qrs ., and 5094 loads respectively ; 4 , 447 barrels of Flour are reported from Canada ; the receipts otherwise are of trifling amount . Since the date of oar last report the trade generally has exhibited a firmer aspect than for some time previous . On Tuesday holders of foreign Wheat demanded an advance of 3 d per bushel , which was paid on a moderate amount of business , and has

      been fully maintained . Flour has also brought rather mure money ; United States 26 s 6 d to 28 s ; Canadian 25 s 6 d to 26 s 6 d per brl . The market , during the greater part of tho week , has been almost void of new Grain , and for the few lots on sale higher prices have been realised ; the best runs of Irish red Wheat have brought 6 s 6 d to 6 s 9 d . per 70 ! bs ., Oats 2 s 5 d to 2 s 6 £ d per 451 bs ., an advance of fully 4 d and 2 J per bushel respectively . New Oatmeal muBt be quoted 2 s dearer ; 22 s 6 d to 233 per 2401 bs . paid for Irish . The English new Barley , being still hold at 34 s to 35 s per quarter , has moved slowly . No change as regards Beans or Peas ,

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 29 . The business done in Flour during the week has chiefly been in limited quantities to consumers , whose stocks are generally light ; and , to effect sale ? , holders of the article freely accepted offers made by the trade at prices somewhat below the recent nominal currency . The transactions in Oatmeal were of an active character , the low prices haviog induced extensive consumption ; and a clearance was effected of all prime parcels in first hands at improving prices . The imports into Liverpool or Runcorn are liirht from all quarters : those from Ireland show a

      considerable falling off , which has caused a temporary scarcity of Oats and Oatmeal . There is no alteration to notice in the value of Wheat at our market this morning , but holders firmly demanded the quotations t of this day se ' nnight . The trade in Flour was chit fly of a retail character to supply present use , and 30 s to 39 i per saok were extreme rates for superfine qualities . Oats and Oatmeal , from their scarcity , commanded higher prices ; and an advance of 2 d per 551 bs . on the former , and 6 i to Is . per load on the latter article was realized , but only in limited quantities to the dealers .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday , Oct . 31 . — The suppiies during last week were moderate of English Grain and Flour of all sorts , bat of Irish Oats the arrival was most abundant , being equal to about 57 , 654 quarters . Of foreign Wheat we had also several cargoes arrived , in the whole amounting to near 13 , 000 quarters . The demand throughout the week for Wheat was languid , and prices rather tended downwards , particularly sampleB of middling inferior quality . Foreign Wheat might have been purchased on decidedly lower terms , and some considerable quantity changed hands at tke decline . For other Grain the trade ruled steady , with the exception of Irish Oats , which on Friday receded

      from Is . to 2 s . per quarter , according to quality . To this morning ' s market the show of English samples freshup was moderate of English Wheat and other Grains . Wheats have been taken off more fully than on this day week , but prices have undergone improvement . Barley has met a fair demand , at tho rates of this day week . Irish Oats meet a tolerably free sale , ai a decline of Is . to 2 s . per quarter . The supply of Beans and Peas , bo ; h White and Gray , has been fully equal to that of last Monday , aud good boiling Peas are in demand at prices the turn dearer than on that day . In Flour we hear of no alteration . Seeds of all descriptions meet an average demand , and all description are unaltered in value .

      London Smithfield Market , Monday , October 31 . —The official return of Foreign cattle imported into London under the new tariff , for the week ending the 29 th instant , is sixty-sevan head of bullocks , of which two were from Oporto , and the greater portion of the remainder from Holland . Besides these there were some from Spain , by way of Devonshire . With one or two exceptions , these cattle were again of a very inferior quality ; not so old perhaps , generally , as some on former occasions , but decidedly in a poorer condition . This quality of foreign beast 3 attracts little notice beyond that of mere curiosity ; this was the most observable to-day , as very few " birfs" were made for them , and the salesmen found a difficulty in fixing a price . Few sold , and

      thoso at a very low figure . The average price cannot be quoted higher than 2 s . 6 d . to 2 s . 81 . per stone . Although during the Midsummer quarter a larger supply of home-bred cattle is expected than during the proceeding one , yet the number of English Bullocks at market to-day was exceedingly large , being full 4 , 000 head . Of these the principal number were from Leicestershire , but the whole of the counties winch at this season of the year supply the market forwarded a larger number than for a long while past * There was also an increased number of Short Horns and Runts . The demand for Beef was very limited and the over abundance of the supply increased the dullness of trade . Prices , from these circumstances combined , wero lower , as to effect sales a decline

      was willingly made . Prime Scots and English Ox cannot be quatud higher than 43 . per stone , and inferior nut more than 3 s . The number of head turned out unsold was , as might be expected from the Iarti ; e supply and limited ioquiry together , larger than on many a market past , and quite sufficient to meat Friday's demand . The number of head of Sheep returned last night as the supply for to-day B uunrket was upwards of 34 , 000 , but as the drovers in tha first instance give a larger number in than they actually bring , the number on Smithfield stones thi 3 morning may with greater aceuracy be given as about 30 , 000 in round

      numbers . The butchers were equally as backward in their purchases of Mutton as of Beef , and the large number on offer caused a very dull state of trade . Prime full-mouthed Southdown Wethers did not command more than 3 j . 10 J . per stone , and the best Southdown Ewes about ' 4 a . 2 d . on the average . A few realised 4 s . 4 d ., but the former price was the more current rate of the day for the best quality . The supply of Calves was , according to the time of year , also large , and more thau adequate to the demdfaS . ' The finest Young Caivesdid not fetch more than 7 J . per lb . Piga were on att average in number . For this kind of meat also there was a dull trade .

      OMNIPOTENCE OF CHARTISM . In faith this Chartism is a funny animal . It reminds us of tho worm which never dicth . No sooner is the oppressor ' s heel lifted , —no sooner are its separated parts held up to the a . ' 1-admiring eye of faction , as things to meet no more , —than we awake from our slumber , and see the worm weldea , strong , and crawling a ^ ain . One side of the questiou is over . The Special Commissions are ended , but net eo the Fpecial iuquiries . There is some active agency at work ; fcr at the present moment vigorous preparations are being made to have tho point reserved by Mr . Allen on the trial of Ellis , argued before the fifteen Judges : while at the same time the necessary step 3 are beinjj taken by those Chartists who traversed till next assizes , to havo their trials removed , in consequence of the prejudice created against them , in the minds of trie Grand

      Jury and the Pttty Jury class , by the speeches of Lor ' d Arbiter . There are also many petition committees in course of appointment , for the purpose of bringing the cases of those who havo received " dispreportionale sentences , " under the notice of the Queen and the Parliament ; while the general feeling of self-importance is daily getting stronger in the opinion of the Chartist body . They say . and justly too , —Wo must be . Eomebody , else is the Government an idle " hussey , " and a frightened busybody to make so much noise about nothing . Our principles must be good , when they cause so much aiarm in high places ; and our NAME must be magical , when a Judjre of the land makes it an offence against law and Holy Writ to acknowledge it . So much for persecution and Special Commissions , to put ou ; the Chartist light . Fudge !—Evening Slar .
