Huddkbsfietd . —On Monday morning week , the gentry of the town assembled early , for the purpose of moetiM their candidates at Wakefield . Carriages and horsemen continued to leave the town for aeroi ! boon , amidst the cheers of numerous spectators . Lite in the evening , great numbers assembled on the Stare Head , to wait their retain , and when the procession arrived they were greeted with the most rapturous plandite . —On Thursday morning Week , the polling for the West Riding candidates Commenced in good earnest by both parties . Early in the morning a great number of vehicles rolled in in different directions , whilst numbers of them began to assemble in tbe Market Place , where the booths were erected- The most lively interest was evinced
by the Bon-eleetors , who formed themselves into small companies , when the respective merits of the four candidates were freely discussed . The general feeling was in favour of the Blues , in oonseqnence of tie treachery of the Whigs . Ab the hour for { tolling approached , great mnaberg of electors marched into the town , with their respective eoloors , ill confident of success . The largest procession was from MeUbam , consisting of horsemen and carriages of every variety . During the morning , Sir George Armytage arrived , followed by a numerous tenantry , bearing his coat of arms . The good old English feeling was richly exhibited in the smiling countenances of the whole tenantry , whose appearance was generally admired . Peace reigned triumphant ,
antil a party of Yellows , on their way home , arrived at Longroyd Bridge , when one of tbe party , named Samuel Ramsden ( s man generally under the patronage of the Whigs , when a little dirty work requires bong dose ) , commenced abusing all that came in his way , m&s , woman , and child . At length , a general attack was made . A desperate struggle followed , the combatants using sticks and stones , which continned for a full hour . During the engagement the bridge was taken and retaken three or fonr times ; happily , no very serious injury was sustained . The peat hero of the fight , we understand , was taken into e&stody . On Friday morning the polling was resumed , but the Whigs appeared as though they had not slept , so pallid were their cheeks . Daring the polling , a drunkeu voter of the name of Paine , oi
ftcqm » Dcer-nouse , was orougnt up uy me Yellows in a chaise , bnt offered his vote to the Bluei As both parties claimed him , his vote was refused , in consequence of being drunk . About four o ' clock the Paddock bastile Sag was seen in the streets , accompanied by a band , playing the tune of " Ob ! dear , what can the matter be V This was followed by a great number of blue banners , oa which was inscribed a number of excellent mottos : ihe last one in the procession claimed the most attention ; it was a black flag , with the following very ominous inscription : — to The downfall of Whiggery ! the people doa ' t like you . " In a few minutes , not a yellow card or ribbon was to be seen in tbe whole
town . At the time thia procession moved by the George Inn , as old woman had mounted a wooden stall , and addressed a vast multitude for about half an hour , which created great animation , and kept the people in excellent humour . All remained peaceable , and after parading the streets for a short time , the people separated , and returned home , highly delighted with the expected return of the Blue candidates . On Friday evening , a man was seen walking in the streets with a lanthorn and besom , for the purpose of finding the Whigs , and destroying , all yeliow cards , lest they might get into Mr . Brook ' s -dam , and choke it I
Keighlet . —The election proceedings here on last Thursday and Friday , passed off without anything Temarkable . Daring the forenoon of the former day , -numerous bodies of electors continued to arrive from the different townships , accompanied with musio and banners , and other insignia , mostly yellow . The superior display of this colour was in a great measure accounted for by the preponderating influence -of Whig landlords and manufacturers in this part of the Riding . One thing , however , very evident in the midst of it was , that the popular spirit was dead to the interest of either party . The spectators surveyed the procession will cold indifference ; and from beginning to ending , not one solitary voice cried * ( iod save Richard . " On the Friday evening , when it was ascertained that the Blue party were triumphant , the ringers found their way into the
bellxhamber , and commenced ringing for the victors . This having been previously forbidden by the rector , lie rush d to the door of tbe belfry to stop the mischief , but all in vain ; the ringers having locked the door to prevent interruption , and his appeals for enfeance were only answered by the peals of the bells . To make the poor gentleman ' s situation still worse , » crowd of boys and young men collected around him , and commenced ringing in his ears a variety -of new peals abont . Easter dues , which it is said has bo offended him ihii he declares he will now enforce them at all hazards . A few instances hare occurred ofWbig manufacturers turning their weavers off for daring to expTeBs their indifference aboHt Whig success , and several more have declared their determination to shut up shop altogether , rather than carry on business under a Blue Tory Government .
BoiBCEGK . —On Tuesday last , the nomination of candidates fot the county of Roxburgh took place is Jedburgh , Every exertion was made by both , Whiga and Tories to bring as many of their supporters to the Bomination as they could , after it was known th&t the Chartists meant to nominate Mr . John Fraser , of Edinburgh . Every Tillage and hamlet in the county was agitated by the different parties for supporters . The Whigs held out the tempting bait of a big loaf , parading the streets of Hawict with a large and Email loafihe large one inscribed " Elliot ' s Loaf , " and the small one " Scott ' s Loaf . * ' XMs , no doubt , had its effect on many : still the Chartists continued firm in their resolution , and mustered in great numbers at H&wick , on the Monday evening , and after walking in procession ,
Mr . Fr&ssr addressed them in the Market-place . At the conclusion of ins address , the question was pat to the meeting -whether thsy considered lit . Fr&sei a fit and proper person to represent the county in P » rliamest , when a whole forest of hands was held up amid great cheering . —Tuesday morning was wet and lowering , yet the Chartists turned out in considerable numbers , and marched to Jedburgh , & distance of ten miles , -where , by all the means which wealth enabled the factions to make use of , the numbers of people collected together » as unprecedented oa any similar occasion . A number of Chartists attended from Qalashiels , Kelso , and other places in the county . Mr . Bell ; of Hunthill , ( Crown Agent for Scotland , -with a handsome aalaiy ) . nominated the Hon . John E . Elliot , and Mr .
Murray , farmer , aecanded him . Sir Q . Warrendei Dominated the Hon . Fraccis Scott , and Mr . Bailie , of HeDertam , seconded him ; Mr . Frazer was proposed by , Mr . John Haig , and seconded by Mi . "Walter Willan , both of Ha-srick . The speeches of the Whig and Tory EOYtJrs and seconders -were of the common Etamp , the ooe landing and the other condemning the present G > ^ eminent and their plans for caring the evils under " which the country is labonriog ; and the speech of Mr F . Scott wag a medley of the opinions of other men on ; ihe proposed measures , he all tbe time declining to give - any opinion of hia own on the subject Mr . Eiliet was not present Mr . Frazir made a most effective Bpeech , which was listened to throughout with the most profettnd attention by the immense multitude . He -was in
the centre of tbe hustings , the Whigs being on his right and the Tories on bis left , t » each of which he dealt some home thrusts . On the show of hands feeing taken , the numbers for Elliot and Fraser appeared nearly equal , Tery few being held up for Scott , and the Sheriff decided that Elliot bad the majority in his favour . Mr . Scott demanded a poll , and Mr . Fr 6 « r said that while be admitted the justice of the Sheriff s decision be declined going to + ¦>«» polL Thus ended a ceremony -which will be long remembered on the Border , &s the first Vher&fbe Yoke of the people and of truth -was heard from t&e nomination bastings in Jedburgh . It will not be the last , and although we did not succeed in carrying the show of hands , yet we are confident that an impression has been made by Mr . Fr » zer " s visit which will result
m good to tbe cause of freedom at no distant date . The polling dosed on Friday , when Mr . Scott , ths Bucdeaeh nominee had a majority of SS , and of course carried the election . The polling commenced here at the usual heur on Thursday , and proceeded without interruption , and all woold hsTe passed quietly off if it had not been for the brutal conduct of the Edinburgh police , between twenty and thirty of -whom bad been brought into the town the previous night They were ordered to dear tbe inn yard , in front of -which the polling booth was erected , and in doing' so , they struck -with their heavy bludgeons all that came in their war . Several boys -were Severely cut in the head ; they even vfcrnek them on the ground after knocking them down . This irritated tbe people so much that none of the bludgeon men could skow their faces in the streets after , bat kept snug within doors . After the poll had closed Uxt tbe day , a strong party of the tth Dragoons
came into the town at a rapid pace ; they ^ ad-feen tbopl Tin 11 rnOei off the night before , and re 4 p& ' -T fat ^ Jsuryard tfil nine o'clock , for what purpose nobody frijtfTUil . in the-town wai perfectly quiet All parties a ^ rM is deprecating thia military interference , a * there was not tbe least occasion either for them or the bludgeon men : there could not be a quieter election . A public meeting , called fey the magistrates on the requisition of a number « f tbe inhabitant ! was held on the Common Hough in tbe evening , ' Mr . Watson , chief magistrate , in the ehaiz , when a nunber of resolutions condemning the anthoritiai for introducing tbe military , and authorising tbe magistrate * to ¦ tfiwritHtfl the Home Swei * r / , and take other steps to get ths anthem of tbe outage poskhad , -were stored by Walter Wilson , manufacturer , and seconded by the Bev . Gilbert Elliot , cousin to tbe Earl of Minto . The resolutions were pasted unanimously .
Lmcestbr . —The defeat of the " Bloodies , " in theii blustering attempt upon the representation of JSouth Leicestershire , has been signalised , under some rather extraordinary dreamstaaces , during the past -week . The idea of disturbing Conservative possession of an agriealtozal district , particularly with the cry of Com Law Repeal , was , one would think , too insane to find an earnest reception' in the miad of men of intelligence Tbe manufacturers of Leicester , however , did entertain such a deceptive expectation , and , -vith tbe Mayor at

ing as to where the danger by , a stout and effectual stand was kept up against tbe Whig " bUlj-cots . " Finally , when tbe ruffians grew too impatient to be -withheld from throwing the crowd into confusion , and made a desperate attempt on tbe centra , their bats were seised , and were seen flying and torn ia all directions , and they were compelled to retreat After the nomination of tfie T ^ ory and Whig candidates , Cooper and Bairstow wen also nominated as the Chartist candidates ; and -when tbe show of hands was taken , the numbers were fully as much in their favour as In those of any of the other candidate * . The Sheriff , however , gave his decision in favour of the Whigs , and a poll was demanded by th « Conservatives . Tbe contest was
a most miserable failure on the part » f the manufacturers . At the close of the first day ' s poll , the Mayor appeared on the portico of tile Bell Hotel , and actually blubbered like a child ! He has secured for himself , for life , the emphatic soubriquet of "weeping John , the first man in the borough . " Throughent the contest , the Chartists openly and manfully avowed their determination to aid the Tories in . preference to the Whigs . The policy commenced at Nottingham , has thus been consistently maintained by the men of the Midland Counties , te the close of the struggle ; and in spite of all the calumnies of their enemies , the men of Leicester , Loughborough , and Nottingham , confidently rely on the future to prove the correctness of their foresight , and tv produce a harvest ol advantage u > Chartism .
Ddblin . —Th « followingplaeard-was freely circulated during the City contest by Mr . Patrick O'Higgins : — " City of Dublin Election . —Patrick O'Higgins , of No . U , North Anne-street , will vote at the present election for Messrs . OConnell and Hutton , provided that they give him a pledge in writing , that they will support no administration but one , that will give its official advocacy to the great and param « unt measures of Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Representation . No Property Qualification , and Payment of Members of Parliament for their time and services . —Dated July 5 th , 1841 . " Mr . O'Higgins obtained thirty signatures to this document ; all of whom stood true to it The parish priest of Ann-street took it to O'Doubleface who refused to sign , and so lost the thirty votes . This is doing business in the right way .

7 OBKSBIBJS SPZUKCr ASSIZES . { Continued from our sixth page . ) CROWN COURT . —Wednesday , July U . ( Before Mr . Justice Wightman . J SHBEP STKA 11 NQ . Wm . Watson , 37 , was charged with having on the 24 th of April , at Greasbro , ' Btolen an ewe sheep , the property of — JackBon . Mr . Pashlkt was for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended . The prosecutor is a farmer residing in the parish of Gre&sbro , ' The prisoner was a mechanic , and lived at Old Holland about 500 or 600 yards from a field in the occupation of Mr . John Hawley , where the sheep were depasturing at the time the offence was committed . Mr . Jackson agisted twenty-two sheep in this field , and on the 23 d and 24 th of April ,
they were seen in the field , but on the following morning , one waa missing . On the 25 th , the contables of Rotherham and Kimbsrworth searched she prisoner ' s house , and in the garret found the prosecutor ' s sheep in a sack with the skin on , and the sack was covered over with bed clothes . The ] prisoner told one of the constables that he had found I the sheep that morning abeut six o ' clook , but not J being able to carry it home himself , he got his wife to assist him . The prisoner's Bhoes were taken off and compared with the feetmarkB in the field , and j-those leading from the field to the prisoner ' s house , I and they corresponded exactly . There was also a I considerable quantity of blood . A knife was found I in the prisoner ' s house with marks of blood and I grease upon it , as if it had been recently nsed . ! The prisoner ' s defence agreed with the statement he made to the constable . Guilty .
MANSLAUGHTER . John Sykes , 26 . was charged with the manslaughter of John Kadcliffe , at Halifax . Sir Gbj : « oht Lewik and Mr . Hall appeared for the prosecutien ; and Mr . Wilkxss for the prisoner . Sir G . Lewijc very briefly stated the case . The deceased and the prisoner were fighting , and the deceased had a poker in his hand . The question was whether the prisoner had taken the poker out of the deceased ' s hand , jwd , by giving bim sundry blows on the head with it , had caused his death . It appeared , from tbe evidence of Mr . Robertahaw , surgeon , that when he was called upon tp attend the deceased , be found some wounds on his head , and that , in his opinion , the immediate cause of death resulted from erysipelas , and the erysipelas was caused by the wounds . He ordered the deceased to keep still ; but he had not done so , and it was
probable that if he had kept still , and had not taken drink , that erysipelas would not have supervened . The erysipelas began with the wound at the back of the head . It also appeared , from the statement of the other witnesses , that on Saturday night , the 8 ib of May , several persons met near the canal at Sowerby Bridge , among whom were the prisoner and the deceased , when a quarrel took place , and the deceased struck prisoner with a poker . The prisoner took the poker from him , and struck him several times . Sykes also knocked the deceased down , and kicked him , apparently , Beveral times on the head . The deceased was shewn to be in a perfect state of fury before the fight took place , he having fought with another man , and , according to the statement of one of tbe witnesses , the deceased's hair at the back of his head was wet and stiff before the fight with the prisoner took place , but she conld not say whether it was bl «> od or
. Mr . Wilkins addressed the jury for the prisoner , contending that the case was so full of doubt , that they could not convict the prisoner . The jury , without hesitation , found the prisoner not guilty .
EOBBEBT . George BurkinsMu , 32 , was charged with having on the 19 ih of November last , at Sheffield , stolen from the Royal Hotel , in tha occupation of William Travip , £ 29 in gold , silver , and copper , and an accountable receipt of the Sheffield bank , for the &u . m of £ 100 , the property of Wm . Travis . Mr . Heaton and Mr . Pickering were for the prosecution , and Sir . G . Lewin and Mr . Wilkiks appeared for the prisoner . The prosecutors in this case were a society , called the " Norfolk Sick Society . " It was instituted by poor persons , their object being to contribute monthly small sums of money , in order to provide for their necessities in sickness and old age . Tbe prisoner was & member of this society ,
which wa 3 established at Sheffield , and its meetings were held at the house of Mr . Travis . In July , 1840 , the prisoner was elected president of the society for the year ensuing . Among the persons elected to other offices at the same time was Thomas Best , who was appointed the senior warden , and who is now the president . By the rules of the society , meetings are held on the first Monday in every month , and a box was provided , in which was deposited the books and various other property belonging to the society , and that box was placed in a room in the house , and was kept locked with three locks , the keys belonging to which differed from one another . One of the keys was kept by the president , and each of the others by the senior
and junior wardens . By the rules all the monies had to be deposited in the box , and only certain portions of the mosey were left in the hands of the president , who paid what wa 3 necessary to those members who had claims on the society during the ensuing month . No money could be deposited in or taken out of the box except in the presence of the president , the two wardens , and two of the member ? called assistants . A meeting of the society was held on Monday the 2 nd of May , and on that occasion the sum of £ 13 6 s . 7 d . was deposited in the box as that evening's receipt . There was in the box besides this the sum of £ 14 6 s . 7 d ~ , and an accountable receipt which was given by the bank of Parker , Shore , & Co . With regard to this document the custom
appears to be this : —When a person deposits money in the bank , he receives a receipt as an acknowledgement for deposit , but before he can receive the money out of the bank , he has to present the receipt , and ft £ ter it is it presented , the endorsement of other ? sfe § aJj « s to be placed upon it . There was also in the Dc ?^|§ ti » e small sums of meney belonging to three of n ^ MprihriTi On tht 4 th of November the prisoner took ^ £ S | feugUh named Knowlson to Mr . Travis ' 8 house , t ^ HBbLffiftf the locks from the box , in order ths ^ HHHteht be made for them , as he said he nH ^^ E ^ tem . Knowlson took the locks off , and the pJj ^ W ma oa another lock which he fastened . Tnr ^ V itents of the box were afterwards missinc . and onT . e l ° ih of
November & person , nuted John Ibbetson met the prisoner in the Btreet and a person named Bell . The prisoner asked Ibbetson to go to the bank to obtain the £ 100 but he refusftd . After some conversation , however , h * agreed to go to the bank on the following day . The prisoner then represented himself to be the president of the society , and the other two persons as the senior and junior wardens , thereby getting possession of the money , and an indorsmem on the receipt was made by the parties in question . Sir Ghegost Le"wi . \ wok tke objection to the case proceeding on the groand that his Learned Friend had opened the case as a partnership which existed among the members , and he apprehended that a man could not steal his own money . The society was not enrolled under the act .

Mr . Hsatom was heard in reply , and The Judge decided that the case should proceed , After all the evidence had been heard , Sir Gbegoby Lewin raised an objection as fatal to the case that the receipt could not be called » valuable receipt as a part of it was torn off . The Judge was of the same opinion , and after Sir G . Lxwur had made a few remarks to the Jury . The Jubgs stated it as bis opinion that the indictment had failed , inasmuch as it did not sufficiently appear that the money was in the possession of Travis so as to entitle him to prosecute . The Jury found the prisoner Not Guilty . ^ *¦ _ tt . . — -1 » i _ . * L -. _ j
FOBGSBT . Joseph Parker , 46 , was charged with having , on the 30 th of January last , at Huddersfield , uttered a forged Bill of Exchange , purporting to be drawn by Wm .

On the day in question , the prisoner went to the warehouse of Messrs . Hirst and Co ., in Huddersfield , and there asked to purchase some fancy goods .

and then came back to pay for the goods . He presented a Bill for £ 19 6 s . 6 d ., signed by William Yates , of Cleckheaton , and the prisoner put bis name ( Joseph Parker ) at the back of the bill . He was asked did he mean the Mr . Yates who was the manufacturer , and he said yes . The prosecutors then took the bill in payment fur the goods , but in a short time afterwards the bill was returned to them by William Yates , who denied all knowledge of it . The prisoner was therefore taken into custody . There was another person named Yates , a labouring man , residing at Cleckheaton , and he likewise denied that he had given the prisoner any such bill . Guilty .

NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES The nomination of candidates for the representation of this county was fixed for Monday by the High Sheriff , James Barry , Esq . From an early hour the passages to the Court House were densely U . led . Short ' y before twelve o ' clock , Mr . Leader appeared on the hustings with his proposer and seconder , and a few friends , and shortly after was followed by Mr . G . S . Barry and Mr . E . 8 . Roche and their friends , or more properly speaking the friends of the latter , for in respect to friends the a auld Member" was , like " the last rose of &ummer , left weeping alone . " Immediately after these gentlemen , the High Sheriff and his Sub , Mr . William Johnson , and Major Brownrigg , R . M ., and Mr . Gore Jones , R . M ., appeared . After a great deal of crushing and thumping , squeezing and screeching , cries of silen ce aud yells ,
The Sub-Sheriff read the precept for holding the Election-The High-Sheriff , calling silence , proclaimed that the County Electors , by virtue of the writ they- had heard read , were entitled to put Candidates in nomiuation for the representation of the County of Cork in Parliament . —( Yelk . ) Mr . Barry , ex-member , then presented himself before them , for the purpose of announcing , and they might rest assured he did so with regret- —( here a tear was seen to trickle down his cheek )—that he was retiring from the honour of being a candidate for the representation of this great county in the next Parliament . ( Loud cheering . ) Circumstances had lately arisen rendering that necessary ;; . ' ( A Voice— " That ' s very , very bad treatment , indeed . ")
These circumstances wer ithe temporary defeat of Ireland's Liberator , and he did so to make a demonstration in his favour , and Bhew his politioal opponents that O'Connell was still dear to the people of Ireland . ( Shouts . ) They kaew it w * a the onl recompense they could make him for hil defeat —they all knew that it was mmecesssry for'bim to pass a panegyric or eulogium upon htm , and hftwould therefore conclude , by saying , that though ' 4 t / waa one of the greatest honours to which he could aspire , the representing of his native county in Parliament , so it was the greatest compliment that could be paid him to request him to retire in favour of Mr . O'ConnelL ( Here his eyes again filled with tears-, and bis utterance became choked , strongly evidencing that tbe unfortunate gentleman was / breed to speak
against his feelings . ) He should conclude by proposing Daniel O'Connell , Esq , as a fit —( here he had again to pause while struggling with his feelings)—and proper person to represent this great county in Parliament . ( Great yelling . ) Mr . Beamish , ex-Member for the city , rose and was met with great uproar . He called upon them for a moment ' s attention . ( Yelling . ) He was called upon , by the electors of the county of Cork —( a voice , How many 1 " )—to second the nomination of Ireland ' s Liberator . ( Yells . ) He looked upon the present juncture of affairs as all important , and as calling upon them to have as a representative for the
largest county in Ireland him whom a temporary defeat alone—the decision of an adverse assessor , but which a Committee of the House of Common * would settle , as it bad settled the non-resident freemen in this city , would rectify . Daniel O'Connell bow oame forward , invited by the county of Cork , and he ( Mr . B . ) was proud he came forward to solioit their suffrages , for whom a man had given way that had faithfully and diligently executed his duties as their Member since 1832 . He seconded the nomination . Mr . Roche was then nominated by Mr . Clancey , of CharlevUle , and seconded by Mr . J . E . McCarthy , of Raddone .
Col . Hodder , of Hoddersfield , amidst the most determined interruption from the O ' Connellites , proposed Mr . M . P . Leader , whose nomination was seconded in a proper Tory speech , delivered through a perfect storm of yelling , hooting , and interruption by Mr . Conner of Manch House .

Tuesday last having been appointed for the nomination of a fit and proper person to serve the office of a burgess in the new Parliament , the town was all alive at an early hour . Sir J . J . Guest , the ex-member and Whig candidate , was proposed and seconded by Messrs . Crawshay and James . Mr . Argu&t then proposed Mr . Morgan Williams as a candidate ( tremendous cheering and stamping of feet and indeed more than osoe it was expected that the frail tenement in which they were assembled would come down to the ground . )
Mr . Henry Thomas seconded the nomination . The Returning Officer then put it to a show of hands ; but he declared that he could not undertake to dacide which party had it . A second show of bands was then taken , and the Returning Officer deolared it to be in favour of Mr . Morgan Williams . ( Tremendous cheering ) Mr . David James then demanded a poll , which tbe returning officer appointed to take place next day at eight in the morning , to close at four in the afternoon . Some conversation then took place , and the returning officer adjourned the court to a field , in whkh hustings had been erected . No sooner had the hustings been taken possession of by the parties than the field w » s filled with people .
The mooting was addsessed briefly by Messrs . Guest and Crawshay . Mr . Morgan Williams then came forward , and addressed the assembly at great ; length , first in English and then in Welsh . He said that at a former election he bad supported in the strongest manner Sir J . Guest , while he was opposed by that very Mr . Crawshay who now supported him ; but he ( Mr . W . ) now opposed him because he saw that he was not what he had professed to be—the friend of the people . He was the supporter of a Government which had not offered them any of those so called blessings which they now held out , until the eleventh hour , when they saw that they were about to lose their places , and were prepared even to go the length of doing what one of their own
associates , Lord Melbourne , called an act of madness , throw this country on foreign nations fer the means of getttng its daily bread , so that if we were to quarrel with them we must be starved for want of that bread which we had forced our own farmers to give over growing for want of a market . A great boast had been made about their intention of giving cheap bread to the working man , but what did cheap bread mean ! Why , cheap bread means cheap labour ; that was to say , that they would first reduce the price of broad by admitting the corn of the foreigner at a low duty , and then they would lower the wages of the workmen to meet the lowered price of corn , for every one knew that the price of labour was regulated by the price of corn . Now , with respect to this very measure of a fixed duty of 8 s ., Sir J . Guest said he was willing to give his full
support to the Government , and consequently was in favour of an 83 . duty , while his proposer ( Mr . Craw-&hay ) wasfor nothing Ies 3 than an absolute free trade . There was consistency ! As to free trade , that was all a fallacy , if intended as a benefit . He would tell them what free trade was . The French made glove ? , which could be sold in London at a cheaper rate than the English could do it , and the consequence was that the English glovers were starving , while the French were well employed . To be sure , instead of giving them the means of maintaining themselves by honest labour , they offered them the mercies of the New-Poor Law , and the starvation Union workhouses . iLoud groans . ) The Government , instead of diminishing the taxes that ground the poor workman to the dust , actually increased them , and were now going to levy a tax on bread ,
that they might have money to cover a deficiency in the revenue , caused by their own bad conduct and incapacity . Ho frequently referred to a paper which he held in his hand , in support of his propositions , and he was loudly cheered throughout his address . In the middle of his speech , however , the crowd was seized with a panic , occasioned , as it was supposed , by some one throwing atoue , which it wai feared woujd lead to a serious dWturbance . However , all passed off quietly . Mr . Morgan Williams called on them to be peaceable , for if they were not so it would be laid to him . This produced an evident effect on them . He commented in severe terms on too readiness of the Whigs to promise , but their utter disregard of their promises when they had obtained their purpose . He was much cheered .
Mr . Morgan Williams being then asked whether ho intended to go to the poll , said he did not . The Returning Officer then deolared Sir J . Guest duly elected , and the meeting separated , the Chartists rrjoicing as from a victory , and the Whigs annoyed at being bearded and hissed , and at being disturbed in tke " even tenor of their way . " It is with pleasure that we do the Returning Officer the justice to say that he did his duty in the most fair and impartial manner , and was evidently actuated by an intense anxiety to give satisfaction to all parties , which seemed a very difficult matter where there was so much violence and party feeling displayed , but we have heard since that all parties were perfectly satisfied with his conduct , and were convinced that he wished to act in the very spirit of the solemn oath he had just taken . — Welsh paper .

RELEASE OF BLA . CK OF NOTTINGHAM . TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —There appeared an account in the Star some time ago of the arrest of George Black , of Nottingham , at Pontypool , Monmouthshire , and of bis committal for a month's hard labour to tha House of Correction at Usk . You requested some of the frien ^ B about Pontypool to give some farther information about htm , but the would-be Chartists there , did not think it worth while either to give the readers of the Star , or any of the Chartists of the neighbourhood , any such information . We are very much surprised at this , for a better , hor . eater , and & more disinterested advocate of the cause , does not exist than George Black , of Nottingham .
We understand that he has now left the prison , and for anything known to the contrary , pennyless and in want . We trust that his case will be made known through the columns of the Star , and that he will meet witk that sympathy , which his case deserves . We know he ia not the man to make his sufferings known , and we know , at the same time , he has done very much for the cause In Monmouth and Glamorgan . The goods taken from him were of considerable value , and we trust that their wotth will be made up . IMertbyr will do its share towards such an object , and let tha CharLists of Pontypool make np for tneir neglect by giving their share towards it . The Council op the Association , Mertbyr TydviL

MANCHESTER . —Oa Monday afternoon , the labourers walked in procession At the funeral of the three men who were killed by the fall of the factory , mentioned in another column . _ As near as we could guess , there were about six hundred , who walked four abreast , in the greatest decorum , to pay the last tribute of respect to their unfortunate and departed brothers . Thousands assembled to witness the sight , consisting of working peopleno managers , no cotton lords—none of those who live upon the industry of the masses . No , no ; the poor men were dead , and , of course , of no more service . We heard the deep sighs of many , and aaw the big tears running down the cheeks of their poorer brethren , with repeated expressions of " poor men , " and " what will their poor wives and families doi" Before reaching St .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , July 15 . The circumstance of damp , rainy , and disagreeable weather , which we in London have experienced for the last ten days , appears to have a most narcotic influence over politics and politicians , for there is really nothing to do , or doing . You only bear the grumblings of poor Wbiglings , who have now made a most wondrous discovery—namely , that the Ballot is the grand panacea for all their troubles , those troubles being loss of place , power , and overbearing tyranny . _ I : will merely give you one instance of their ( the Whigs ) utter contempt of the people , though I have a number of cases at hand to prove more and worse actions . There is , in this metropolis , one Mr .
Benjamin Armstrong , a Whig made magistrate of the county . This fellow has a number of small houses , which he farmf , or compounds for ; all these houses give the right of suffrage to the inhabitants , or occupiers , upon the rates being paid . Well , to prevent their having votes , this good Whigling lets the rates remain unpaid , and the poor people be distrained upon for taxes which he ought to pay , and at the same time , he states he is a Liberal , though depriving men of their votes . Bat it is all of a piece with m * v . th reformers , when they have the workies under them—no eh&neo will be allowed to them ( the workies ) of exercising their vote , though they have the educational and brick qualification : and Whigs and Liberals are in favour of such a aua-Iification . ¦
Towim Hamlets . —A registration committee has beea formed , which is working well , and will , before to ? K . » relieve the borough from the presence of the Whig Fox . ¦ The Police record of the week gives us a pretty proof how far justice is dispensed in this metropolis , for you will find Honourable Captains and scions of nobility getting clear , because policemen are not to be believed , when giving evidence against them , though a word against any poor wight , is sore to be taken , and have full weight for their imprisonment .

Leeds Cloth Mabkbt . —Though there has not been any extraordinary or greatly improved demand forgoods daring the past week , there has on the whole been rather more business transacted , both in tbe Cloth Halls and warehouses . Prices are ruinoHsly I 0 W 1 and country manufacturers complain that they are not remunerated , and assert that they " mast either meet with a greater demand for their goods , or still further reduce their operations . Bradford Market , Thursdat , Jult -IB . —Wool . —We notice a little more activity and cheerfulness
in this department , but prices are steady . The stock of old Wool in the market is not heavy , but as the new clip is now coming in , the supply is equal to the demand . Yarn—There is a stead ; business doing and prices firm . The short-time running ia very generally adopted , which prevents an accumulation in the hands of Spinners . Piece—About an average amount of business has been done to day . Figured goods are still in active demand , especially those composed of Cotton Warp and Mohair , or Alpaca Weft . No alteration in prices .
Newcastle Corw Market . Jolt lO . —The supplies of Whftat from our neighbourhood , and the coast likewise , continue on a very moderate scale , and we bad a good demand to day at an advance of 2 s . per quarter on last week ' s prices . Fine Rye is in demand . Grinding Barley very scarce . Malt , Beans , and Peas meet little attention . Oats in moderate supply , and prices firmly supported . The demand for Flour daring the Week has been extensive , and although the arrivals are large , the whole has been cleared off at oar quotations ; and as our millers have to-day agreed to advance their prices Is . per sack , a similar improvement may be anticipated on firat supplies arriving from the coast . —Arrivals here this week : English , 390 quarters Wheat , 108 quarters Rye , 30 quarters Barley , 560 quarters OatB , and 2 , 320 sacks of Flour . Foreign , 1 , 206 quarters Wheat , and 2 , 400 quarters of Beans .
Liverpool Corn Market , Mondat , Jolt 12 . — We have this week had moderate arrivals of Grain , Flour , and Oatmeal coastwise , and from Ireland , and no further shipments have appeared from Canada . The imports from foreign states include 2 , 888 qrs . of Wheat , 2 , 780 quarters of Oats , 890 quarters of Barley , 7 , 250 quarters of Beans , 390 quarters of Peas , and 9 , 070 barrels of Flour ; duties at the same time having been paid upon only 663 quarters of Wheat , 25 quarters of Peas , and 40 barrels of Flour . Continued unsettled weather has given increased firmness to the Wheat trade ; the millers and dealers have purchased of free parcels to a moderate extent , at fully tbe prices quoted on this day se ' nnight , whilst from 7 , 000 to 8 , 000 Quarters ol
foreign have changed hands in bond , at rather over the rates then obtainable ; good Baltic red and middling Dantzio have brought 6 * 9 . 6 * d , and fine 6 " 3 . 9 i . par 781 bs . Free Floor has also been somewhat better so'd , at 35 s . per barrel , the price for the general runs of Canadian . Under limited demand , Oats and Oatmeal may again be noted the turn cheaper . No change as regards Barley or Beans . Our stocks of free Peas are trifling , and are held for higher prices . In additiou to the Wheat sold in bond , already named , about 2 , 400 barrels of United States sweet Flour have changed hands , under look at 233 . 6 d . to 243 . 6 d ., and in the beginning of the week ' 1 , 000 brls . of FJour , at 20 s . per barrel . Manchester Cors Market , Saturday , July 10 .
—The arrivals from abroad comprise 7 , 251 quarters of Beans , 9 , 072 barrels of Flour , and 1 , 450 quarters of Wheat , the entire of which is entered in bond , the duty on all articles being unvaried . From Ireland and coastwise the imports amount to a fair average for the season . At this morning ' s market there was not much passing , but the fall cUrrencvof this day se ' nnight was firmly demanded by many holders of Wheat . The scarcity of superfine qualities of fresh manufactured English Fiour enabled factors to obtain an advance of 6 d . per sack , and secondary qualities were likewise more readily sold at nearly a corresponding improvement in value . The trade in Oats and Oatmeal was without animation , and no alteration can be noted in the quotations of those or any other article .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Jult 12 th . — There was only a moderate quantity of wheat from Essex , Kent , And Suffolk for this day ' s market , with a very limited show of barley , beans , and peas from all these counties ; of oats there were pretty good fresh arrivals , having several vessels in fr « m Ireland , with a few from our own coast and Scotland The imports of foreign wheat during the past week have been rather large , but of other articles onlv to a limited extent . There was a good steady demand for wheat , prime samples commanding fully the rates of this day se ' naight , and although the middling and secondary qualities of English were not taken off freely , these descriptions were not cheaper . Free foreign was selected by our town millers in
small quantities , for which they paid quite as much money ; * the stock of this description here is redsced to about 53 , 009 qrs ., consisting of middling and ordinary qualities . Bonded wheat was held firmly at last week ' s prices , and the sales effected were only to a limited extent . Good marks of ship flour were the turn dearer , and in fair request . Grinding barley made the rates of last week , with a moderate demand . Prime season made malt was quite as dear , with a steady sale . Beans and peas brought fully the rates of thia day se ' nnight , with tolerably good demand . The oat trade was unaltered in value ,
nne fresh thrashed corn commanding a moderately good sale to the consumers , and all other sorts were held for fully as much money . Nothing of moment passing in linseed ; Odessa is worth 48 a . per qr . One small lot of 8 j qrs . new rapeseed waa on sale to-day fxonvKent , the first sample of this year ' s growth , and in such condition from being housed in wet weather , that it is already warm in sacks on 80 short a voyage as from Sheerness , too inferior in consequence for the seedsmen , and held too high for the crushers ; an opening price is thus-not « Btab > nshed ; " Tares were inquired for , and held higher than of late .
London Smithfield Cattle Market ; July 12 . — Although the supply of Beasts offering in our market of to-day was , oa the whole , moderate , the Beef trade , particularly for the finest qualities , owing to a large portion of the arrivals ooming to hand in middling and inferior condition , and to the attendance of buyers being pretty numerous , was animatedj at an enhancement on last Monday ' s currencies ^ of from 2 d . to 4 d . per 8 lb , the primes * Scots readUj producing . 5 * . per 8 lb ., and a good clearance was ettected
some time previously to the conclusion of business . From Scotland , the receipts , per fsteampackets , comprised 200 Scots , and 30 & Sheep , the whole of which came to hand in good condition .
