NOTTINGHAM ELECTION . ( Continued from our Seventh Page . ) At half-past six o ' clock , Mr . O'Connor arrived at Bces ' . on , accompanied by some friends from Nottingham , aud proceeded to an open space , where a temporary hustings had been erected . There was an fxcelfent muster of all classes—middle' and ¦ working . Mr . Beggs was called to the chair , and after expatiating , at considerable length , upon the character and pretensions of Mr . Sturge , as fitting him for the unties of tha office to which he aspired , and a very spirited appeal to his audience , as to the neces-ity of rendering their assistance , he introduced Mr . O'Connor . Beeston is within the Borough of Nottingham , has twenty-nine voters resident in it , and belongs , for the most part , to Mr . Cnarlioiij who was the colleague of Mr . Walter , on the Tory side , at the last general election .
Owing to this ownership of body and mind , much Etapidity may reasonably be expected to exist among the slock ; bat it proved far otherwise . When Mr . O'Connor presented himself , he was slight y cheered , and piercingly scanned , eTery eye being rmtted upon him . He had not gone far in his address , when ths effects of Tory arguments , drink , besaa to manifest itself in the faces and expression of a knot of politicians just under the speaker to his right . ¦ . After two or three interruptions , Mr . O'Connor turned sharp upon them , and said— " Will you shut
your mouths and open yoar ears , you fools , if you don ' t wi-. h to die in ignorance ! " The confounded appearance of the intruders caused much merriment and a laugh , and caused a temporary cessation of their interruption ; however , Johnny Barleycorn again went to work , and again did the knot commence , when the speaker turned contemptuously on them , and said , " Ah , hold your tongues , you poor fools ! " He then lashed vhem for about five minutes , until at length they were glad to beat a retreat , amid the scoSi of their sober brethren . The speaker then continued hb address for more than an hour , and gave general satisfaction .
At ihe conclusion , Mr . Beggs read the address of : the non-electors to the electors of Nottingham , which being moved by Mr . Roberts , and seconded ¦ by acclamauon , was carried unanimously . The Chairman then dissolved the meeting ; but Mr . O'Connor again presented himself , and said , " I tell you what , I am not going to work- myself to death to gain rights for yon which I don ' t require for myself , if you consider is a compliment to lend ' your aid . I see you are dummies , tongue-tied . I must ; come among you three or four time 3 this summer to ; open your voices ; and as I am here now , I will give you the first lesson in Chartist music . Come " , j give me three cheers for the Charter , name and all , j and no surrender . " And three such cheers were '
never before heard in B ? eston . "That ' s very good , ' I said O'Connor ; " now then for Frost , Williams , and ; Jones , '" snd three thundering cheers were given . " Capital , capital , " repeated the music master ; " I i would SDon make Italians of you all . . Now thea for the bass—three groans for the Tories , " and every throat joined in harmony . Bravo ! bravo ! re- i sounder from all sid ^ e . "I never heard a more pro- ; mising set of pupils , " said O'Connor , I knew I could j knock spunk into you ; " and ho departed to meet the ; Chartiss Association , a brave and spirited body , ¦ who have kepi xhe true principles all'se in spite of " Whig damp and Tory extinguisher . Sh&rtly afterwards he and his friends started for Nottingham , to mett the people in the Market-place .
TUESDAY NIGHT . When Mr . O'Connor and his friends arrived from Beeston , they were met by several thousand parsons , who immediately formed a procession , and marched , in good order—singing Chartist Eongs—to the Market-place , where they arrived at twenty minutes to ; nine o'clock , and where was collected an assemblage larger , much larger , than that of . the preceding , evening - Every man and woman , who witnessed i Tuesday night ' s gathering , one and ail declared , j that they had never seen such a sight in the town of . Nottingham . ;
Mr . Roberts , who had accompanied Mr . O'Connor . ' to Beestoa , was unanimously called . to the chair , and simply introduced j Mr . O'Connor , who , upon presenting himself was received with deafening cheers and waving of hats . Be said , my brothers , I have worked * like a black ; to-day , and yet Iaaas fresh as a four-year old , be- i cause I find that I have suceeedtd beyond my most ; sanguine expectations in era-Jicanng from the : virsuous working man ' s mind those fcelin £ 3 of vice and dissipation which the interested factions have alternately engendered among the innocent poor for their own personal aggrandisement . Yes , -working men , tee ta ? k that , I have undertaken , is , thank
God , rendered comparatively easy , by the noble soil that I have to work upon ; and I find that debased as the burgesses and non-eleetor 3 . had become , by the struggles of legislators and factions , yetr so commanding is virtue that the nre-brand , " the"leveller , " u destructive" his made rapid progress in the subg tttniion of reason for passion , of virtue for vice , and of thought for hasty and intemperate action . He then went on in a rapid strain to point out the rights of all classes and how they were to be acquired , and preserved when obtained ; and at quarter past nine ; he requested the dense multituae to form into procession , and march to Mr . Bean ' s room , where he ¦ understood Mr- Sturge wa 3 then addressing the
people . This was instantly complied with , and the Market-place , as if by magic , in less than" five minui * 3 was an empty space . Oa arriving at Bunker ' s-bill , it was discovered that Mr . Sturga had not been there , and that the dobr leading to the platform was looked , while thousands were congregated around it ; whereupon it was deci Jed that a cart which was in the yard should be wheeled among the crowd , and that Sweet and others should address thein , till the key of the room , which wa 3 sent for , should arrive . After sozae -delay , and the key not being forthcoming , Mr . O'Connor mounted the cart and again addressed the multitude , who , in a few minutes separated , cheering for Sturge and liberty , and promising to meet Mr . . O'Connor again
on the following evening at Bunker's-hill , at eight o ' clock . The result of this sober excitement is , — that not a drunken man is to be seen—that scores of voters , who have made a practice of selling themselves , ha > e voluntarily pledged themselves to support the man of the non-electors' choice ; and notwithstanding the state of debasement to which interested faction had reduced the electoral body , yet it is now confidently supposed that the return of Mr . Sturge is beyond doubt . The newly acquired position of the people of Nottingham should have a powerful eifeet upon the non-electors of the whole country . It bus requires sound marshalling and a proper direction to render it omnipotent ; and although there was a great jealousy among the " at fir ? t
Whigs , about O'ConnoT coming and his intiaence , yet his straightforward conduct aud manly assuranci , that henetfonh in every struggle , the 4 , 000 , 0000 Chartists shall take part , ha 3 beaten down and is fast annihilating Jthe ungenerous prejudice which misrepresentation had raised against him . The Chartist cause is progressing here at a raihvav speed . We contin-is ^ to receive the congratulation ' s of all parts of the Kingdom for the virtuous struggle we are making for the accomplishment of a sound union upon principle ; while we shall , as wo ever have , resist a union which would call upon us to compromise a hair ' s breadth of our principles , or a letter of our name , or a sicgle one of cur old and IB . IED leaders . We ballot for the Executive next week ; and , though Mr . O'Connor declares that he
is a member of thirty-four Associations , he has also joined onr . < , and ta . ken ont his card , to entitle him to a vote ; and in the dischar ^ of which we most sincerely trust that ail will see the propriety , nay , the absolute necessity , of following the wis-- suggestions , contained in the Editor ' s recommendation . A bad Executive , or an ill-managed Executive , —and our cause would perish ! while a well-selected body would give increased confidence to our ranks , and insure a _ good support for the prosecution of their objects . Any one doubtful person upon the Executive , would deprive that body of the fnnds so absolutely necessary for carrying on the war against the enemy ; therefore , let < us have an Executive of known out-and-outers whole-hos Chartists !

LEEDS DISTRICT . —The usual monthly meeting of this district was held in the Association Room , Woodhouse , on Sunday morning , May 22 . Delegates were present from Leeds , Holbeck , Armley , Wortley , Woodhouse , Morley , Churwell , and Hunslet . The accounts received from the different delegates were very satisfactory . Chartism is making rapid progress in this locality , not only in an increase of numbers , but in a thorough knowledge of our principles . The Charter has been very , extensively read and circulated ; and the muchabused Pcoplo ' s Petition has been also widely distributed ; and " trashy" as it is said to be , it has converted many to a right way of thinking . Upon the whole , wo may say we occupy a proud position in
this part of the country : indeed , all other political parties have sunk into insignificance before the good sense , straightforward action , and determination of the good men and true . After the local business of a pecuniary and directory nature had been concluded , the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to by the meeting : —1 st . " That the best ; thanks of this meeting are eminently due , aud hereby given , to the members of the late Conventiou , for their zealous and straightforward conduct , and for the important services they have rendered to the eause of democracy in this country . " 2 nd . "That the thanks of this meeting are due , and accordingly given , to Messrs . Dunoombe and Leader , for the noblo and independent services they have rendered the people of this country , in k
presenting and supporting the National Petition of the Industrious Classes , ' in the Commons' House of Parliament . " 3 rd . "That a copy of the last resolution be transmitted to both of the Hon . Gentlemen , with the delegates' names attached . " After a considerable quantity of business had been disposed of , making this , upon the whole , the most important mectiug that has yet been held in this district , it was agreed to hold a public meeting of the inhabitants of this borough on the 26 th of Juno , in the Vicar ' s Croft , Leeds , for the purpose of adopting the "Remonstrance" to the Commons , and "Memorial" to the . Qaeen , as recommended by the Convention , and the delegates hope the members of the Association will give this all the publicity in their power . Tho meeting was then adjourned till the third Sunday in June .
BRADFORD . —General Council . —This body held their meeting on Monday , in their room , Butterworth-buildinga . The members were recommended to use their influence in getting subscriptions up in the various localities , to assist in defraying the debt incurred in London on account of the petition demonstration .

Pickles' , on Monday evening last , at eitht o ' clock , to hear a
lecture from Mr . Joseph Brook . The room was crowded to excess . Mr . Mirficld , worsted manufacturer , was called to the chair . Mr . Brook made an able appeal to the meeting on the distress which the working classes of this couutry were now enduring , and showed that this distra-s was not local , not confined to one particular class , but extended itself to every branch of manufacturing industry . This the lecturer traced to its true sourco , class legislation . — At the conclusion of the lecture , five neve members vrere enrolled . A vote of thanks to the lecturer and chairman was given , when tho meeting separated .
-Adwalto . n . —A Chartist Camp Meeting was held on Sunday last ; there was a very largo assembly Messrs . Dewhirst , Arran , and Edwards , each ably addressed the meeting , aud shewed that the present system of misrule was not in accordance with tho Word of God . A very good feeling was produced amongst the numerous assembly . A large meeting was hold in tho Social Institution , on Wednesday evening last , at eight o'clock , for the purpose of hearing Mr . R . K . Phiip . Mr . Hodgson was called to the ch 3 ir . Mr . Philp , who was received with acclamation , introduced himself to the meeting by a very neat apology , and explained in a brief manner the freedom which the People ' s Charter would give to the working classes of this kingdom . He next explained the principal features of the great demonstration which was made in the metropolis , the manner of forming the procession in
Lincoln s inn Fields , and the great difficulty they had in making head-way for the petition , and the members of the Couvention . He stated that s > o great were the numbers assembled , that it took an hour and a half before they had quitted the place of assembly , and that there was not a single place where any person could stand and witness the procession . He next gave a vivid description of the approach of the Petition to the doors of the House of Commons , and of it 3 getting jammed fast in the door-way . Mr . Philp then advened to the proceedings of that and the following day , and spoke for two hours . This speech was replete with sound argument and good sense , and in conclusion he made an appeal to the meeting to come forward and join the National Charter Association . Several now members w « rc enrolled . A vote of thuiika was given to the lecturer and tho chairman , when the meeting separated .
LONDON . —The members of the Walworth locality met at the Ship and Blue Coat Boy , on Monday evening last . The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed . Dr . P . M .

The Anti-Corn Law League again . —It having been announced by public placard that Sidney Smith would deliver a lecture on machinery as connected with the Corn Laws , on Wednesday evening , at the Red Cros 3 Tavern , Hare-street , Bethnal Green ^ the Chartists of that locality beiBg practically acquainted with this subject , made it their business to attend , and politely requested the lecturer to ^ allow of discussion , or to reply at the close to such ^ questions as they might put to him connected with chs subject of his lecture ; these fair conditions , this cme-siuod deelaimer positively declined accepting ; upon which the lads decided that they could dispense with Sydney ' s services , and almost unanimously called Mr . J . Shaw to the chair , Sydney miking his exit . Mr . Mantze in a very able manner moved the following resolution : — " That it is tho opinion of this meeting that niachi-i nery mni-t ever work detrimentally to the interests
of the labouring classes , until a wise Government thall so legislate as to bring its powers within the scope of such regulations as will amply provide and furnish protection for those whose labour it supersedes ; and that we consider a wise Government can never be constituted , or good regulations made , while the present system of class legislation continues to exist . And , more over , this meeting feels convinced that the majority of those who head the anti-Corn Law movement are men who supported or formed a part of the late detestable Whig Ministry , and who now agitate this question to bring themselves again into office , aud retard the progress of Chartism . " This was seconded by Mr . Treadwell , and supported in a manner which drew down great applause from the assembly by Mr . Frazier . The resolution was carried unanimously , and the meeting broke up , with three chers for the Northern Starjtor Feargus O'Connor , and the Charter . \
REDDITCH . —The Council mot on Saturday last , at the Chartist Hall , when the following resolution was unanimously passed : — "That no lecturer will be paid for his services here except he has received an invitation from the Chartist body of this place ; and no one is expected to attend unless he has written to the Secretary , and received an answer from him wishing his ( the lecturer's ) attendance . " All communications to be sent to W . Pinfield , care of W . Cook , fish-hook maker , Mount Pleasant , R ^ dditch , Worcestershire .

TODXSfltOBDEN . —On Monday night last , there was a publio meeting of the Inhabitants , called by placard , to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament against the renewal of the power of the Poor Law Commissioners , and praying them to substitute the 43 rd of Elizabeth for the present immoralizing and pauperizing law . Mr . Joseph Hirst was called to the chair . Mr . John Haigh moved the following resolution : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the continuance of the Poor Law Commission any longer is a gross violation of the rights of Englishmen . " It was seconded by Mr . James Gibson . Mr . Win . Seholefield , without making any remarks , then came forward , and
moved—^ That , in the opinion of this meeting , the poor of this country have a right , in sickness or distress , to a maintenance out of the land of their birth ; that the New Poor Law sets this right at defiance ; and this meeting pledges itself to use every legal means in their power to get it repealed , and in its stead re-enacted the 43 rd of Elizabeth as the law of this realm . " It was seconded by Mr . James Lord . Mr . John Clegg moved the next resolution : —" That , in the opinion of this meeting the tendency of the New Poor Law is to separate the interests of the rich and poor , to snap asunder the ties which bind them together , and , as a natural consequence , eminently calculated to bring about a state of anarchy and confusion . " The
resolution was seconded by Mr . [ Gibson Cockoroft . Mr . Wm . Fielden moved the next resolution , which was , " That in the opinion of this meeting , that principle of the Bill which takes away the right of the ratepayers to manage and conduct their own local affairs as regards their ownpoor * and place it in the hands of threer Commissioners ( the Somerset-house triumvirate ) is at variance with every principle of justice , and in opposition to the principles of local legislation . " Mr . E . Gibson seconded the motion . The next resplution was moved by Mr . Robert Brook , and seconded by Mr . Barker Greenwood , "That the best thanks of this meeting ate due and

Henry Shepherd , "That though this meeting have no confidence in the House of Commons , as at present constituted , yet under present circumstances , we agreed that petitions be got up , founded on the foregoing resolutions , and be sent toboth Houses of Parliament ; that to the Lords to Lord Stanhope , and that to the Commons to John Fielden . Etq , for preseiitation . '' All the resolutions were carried , and the petition was adopted ; and after votes were given to Mr . James Taylor and the Chairman , the meetiag separated .
STANLEY ( near Wairfield ) . —For the last twelve months the colliers of this district have not received more than ten shillings per week on an average . Reductions of 3 d . to ii . per dozen and 2 i . per yard have been made : in some pits it is from twenty to thirty per cent . At the present reduction it is impossible for the colliers to maintain their families . They solicit aid to help them to keep up their wages . Fatal Accident near Bradford . —On Tuesday evening , an accident attended with loss of life , occurred a little below Bradford Moor . It appears that as Benjamin Greenwood , of Shipley MoorHead , carrier between Shipley , Leeds , and York , was on his rstum from Leeds at about six o'clock , with a waggon loaded with wool , and drawn by four horses , when on the brow of the hill the main pin of the waggon came out , which throwing the whole
weight of the load on the animals caused them to move forward at a rapid pace . He ran to the head of the leaders to arrest their progress , but not succeeding in this he was thrown down , apd either the wheels went over his head and left shoulder , or he was so severely crushed against the curb stone , or tho road wall , as to fracture his skull and cause instantaneous death . Finding themselves at liberty the horses dashed onward , taking with them their loud , until beside New Leeds , where they liberated themselves and went clear off . The circumstance having been noticed further inquiry was made , the result of which Was , that the unfortunate mad was found at the place where the accident occurred quite dead . Ho was taken up and conveyed to the publichouse , kept by Grace Brear , and surgical assistance instantly procured , but as lie was dead before taken up the attendance of a surgeon was of course unavailing . -
Shipley . —Sudden Death . —Mr . Ducket , tanner , near Wiudle Craig , died at a moment ' s ;< notice , on Monday ' -afternoon last . Thunder Storm . — -The town and neighbourhood of Bradford were virited by a severe and awful thunderstorm , accompanied with hail and rain , on Monday last . ; Leeds Unemployed .-A meeting of the unemployed was held yesterday afternoon , with the professed intention of parading the streets in procession , but in consequence of there not having been sufficient notice of the meeting , the numbers Were comparatively small , there not beiug more than three hundred present . The result was that the meeting should adjourn to Moiiday next , at ten o ' clock , in tho Vicar ' s-Croff , when every person present was desired to inform those of his neighbours who are out of employment .
Zoological Gardens . —Upwards of £ 100 was paid by the Temperance Society , for the Use of those gardens , last week . It is estimated that more than 10 , 000 persons passed through the gate on this occasion . The Society paid 3 d . each for all who were admitted , retaining the other 3 d . towards the expense of making good any damage to the gardens , should any be sustained , but as this was not the case it will be a nice addition to their funds .. Whilst referring to these gardens We cannot but express our regret that the committee will be driven to sell them . £ 500 must be raised in annual subscriptions before the 6 th of June , if they are to be continued open to tho public , and as yet only £ 100 has been raised . We have heard of many who are inclined to subscribe if they be canvassed , and we . would suggest to the committee the propriety of making an active canvass for subscriptions . Surely there is taste enough in Leeds to raise £ 500 a-year for such a purpose .

Mr . Musgraye was one of the Justices present , and during the examinatioa of a witness named Thompson , called by Mr . Bond , a scene quite novel for a Court of Justice took place . Thompson said he came to assist Storey to handcuff Sanderson , and althouJKh betwixt the two he never saw or heard Storey strike with his staff . On hearing this , Mr .

Bond said he had never had occasion to make such remarks before , and no one had any reason to complain of him for any want of respect towards their authority . . The subject then dropped .

HOUSE OF LORDS—Thursday . The Copyright Bill went through Committee pro forma . The discussion to be taken on hearing the report . HOUSE OF COMMONS-TFerfncsdajr , May 24 . J The House proceeded with the tariff in committee . Lord Howick proposed , that the import duty on foreign butter should b < j reduced from 20 s . per cwt . to 10 s ., leaving the duty on colonial butter at 53 ., as imposed in the tarifF .
Sir R . Peel objected to this reduction , which , he said , would work a serious loss of revenue . He remarked it as inconsistent with the anti-difFerential doctrines advanced on a former evening by Lord Howick , that Noble Lord , is now proposing to alter the , duty on foreign butter ,: should himself have made a difference between the foreign and the colonial article . . Lord Howick pleaded , that he was obliged to propose , not what he most wished , but what he had the best chance of carrying . : : ' Some of the country gentlemen represented the necessity of keeping up the protection of the small dairymen . : Mr . C . Buller thought it much more important to provide cheap food for the poor population . :
Lord John Russell was resolved to take this opportunity of supporting Sir R . Peel ' s general principles of free trade against Sir Robert Peel himself . The Committee divided , sustaining the 20 s . duty . Some discussion then followed respecting the duty on cheese , which it was proposed by Mr- M . Philips to reduce from the 10 a . 6 d . proposed on the tariff to 7 s . 6 d . ¦ ¦ ¦ ,: ¦ .. - - ¦ ¦ - .. - ' : " - ; , ¦ ; , v- . :- . Mr , Labouchere referred to a Cheshire newspaper , in which the high rate of duty preserved in the tarifF on this article was asoribed to the influential exertions of the county members with the Government . : -
Sir R . Peel assured the Committeeej that the decision of Government had been taken upon considerations of revenue , before the county members had brought in any application whatever . Messrs . Hume , Cobden , Wakletj and Ward , inveighed against the agricultural party , who , they said , resisted the relief of the starving people , for the sake of their own rents . ; Mr . Jervisj though generally favourable to free trade , would support the protection of cheese , on a mere comparative question between 7 s . 6 d . and
10 s . 6 d . Sir R . Peel regarded the preceding speech as a strong illustration of the difficulty of his task . Mr . Jervis was making an exception in favour of cheese , as being member for Chester ; and thus it was that each man thwarted the Government measures in the particular matter that touched his own constituents . This showed how necessary it was , instead of dividing on these single items , to take the tarifEaa a whole ; and ho believed the wisest thing the House could do would be to pass the entire measure that very night . / ..
The Committee , on a division , negatived Mr . Philips ' 8 amendment . ! Mr . Palmer , of Essex , moved to raise the proposed duty upon onions from 6 d . to Is . per bushel . Mr . Gladstone resisted this , as unreasonable in amount and unnecessary for revenue . Mr . Paliieb refrained from pressing his amendment to a division ; but moved to raise the duty on potatoes from 2 d . per cwt . to a shilling . And this he desired , not for the sake of rents , but in order to keep the country independent of foreigners for this great article of food . The Ministers , before their accession to office , had held out expectations of full protection to agricult . ure ; and the agriculturists were not to be blamed if they now required the fulfilment of that pledge .
Mr . Gladstone represented , the great importance of providing for the importation of potatoes in time of scarcHy . The consumer of wheat could fall back oh pat ? ^ of oats upon potatoes ; but the consumer of potatoes could fall back upon nothing . Still the ordinary importation of them was greatly checked by their bulk and the consequent dearness of freight . Mr . Wakley said Mr . Gladstone was mistaken if he supposed there would not be a very extensive importation of potatoes . The admission of them was one of this ... best points in this tarifF , and Would even have great effect in reducing the price of bread ., - '¦ ¦'•• : - '" ¦ ' ' .. ;¦ .. .: " . . ' ¦ ¦ ' , . •; . " . '"¦¦ . ' /¦ .. . Mr . Escott opposed Mr . Palmer ' s motion , and said that the farmers of England did not desire to keep up the price of food . : : The amendment was withdrawn .
The schedule of duties upon food having been disposed of , the schedules renting to 8 piees , seeds , and wood Were passed without opposition ; and the Committee then came to the schedule affecting minerals on which - Mr . Turner raised a long discussion in reference to the miuing interests of Cornwall . Mr . Gladstone replied , and refuted some rather extraordinary statements with which Mr . Turner had surpisod the House . He explained the peculiar advantages which it was expected the adoption of the proposed rate of duty would confer upon those engaged in smelting the metal ; and was followed by : . -. ' ¦ - ¦ .

Ratheb Amusing . —One day last week a meeting of the friends of the Church Missionary Society was held in the large room , or shed , on the green adjoining the hotel at Seacombe . A chair for the president , and a kind of platform for the clergymen who were to addi-fisa the assembly , were placed at one end of the apartment . The reverend divine who was appointed to take the chaii-j on entering the place , saw , to his utter amazement , that immediately over his chair , against the partition , was a claverly executed figure of a clovra , with the look of a Grimaldi and the leg of a goose sticking out of his trousers' pocket , a figure which had once ornamented the bow of a snip named the Clown . Deeming it probable that the grotesque representation might
attract the attention of the auditory , and excite feelings of risibility while a brother divine waa gravely discoursing on solemn themes , he requested an attendant to remove the mirth-provoking figure . The attendant alarmed the doctor even more than he was by informing him that the image was absolutely screwed to the wall , and could not , therefore , be removed . The reverend chairman was , for a moment , puzzled what to do ; at length , finding that the figure could not be removed , he ordered it to be covered decently during the proceedings . A cloth Was accordingly thrown over the image of Grimaldi , which was thus prevented from dividing jvith the clerical speakers the attention of the auditory , which consisted chiefly of the fair box . —Liverpool Albion * v \ - : ¦ .::.

Fine qualities of Wheat were readily taken off at last week's prices , but common and inferior descriptions were dull sale at a decline of Is . per qr . Beans , Oats , and Shelling maintain late prices . Barley remains as last noted . In other articles no variation . Lkeds Cloth Mabkbts . —There is , no occasion to contradict the statements we gave last week , of the improvement which has manifested itself in the demand for goods at the Cloih Hails , the transactions at which place , on both Saturday and Tuesday , were quite equal to the two preceding market days . The demand is now principally confined to fine cloths , in which , in the warehouses , there is a fair share of business doing .
Huddersfield Cloth Market , May 31 . Our market this day was pretty well attended and a moderate share of business transacted ; it is considered by many to be an improvement upon the last Prices still remain low . York Corn Market , Saturdax , May 28 . —The supply of Wheat is rather better to-day , and consists chiefly of the fine descriptions , for which their is a good demand , at an advance of Is to 3 s per qr ; the finest White fetching 70 s to 72 a , and the best qualities of Red , 663 to 67 s per qr .

The Tariff Anticipated . — Our market has been abundantly supplied for some weeks past with white fish , boat-loads having frequently arrived in competition with the regular cart traders . The consequence has been a reduction in the usual price , of which the poorer population have largely " availed themselves . On Tuesday the supply was so great that a fine cod , weighing 401 b , cauld " be had for 6 d , and haddocks inproportion . ^ -PeWft Courier ' . '
State of Trade . —There was not quite so touch animation yesterday as on the preceding Tuesday ; but the market , though more quiet , was perfectly firm and steady in yarns generally , and in all descriptions of goods except domestics , which , having been previously selling on somewhat better terms than shirtings ' and . printing cloths , have now declined to about the same rate in relation to prime cost . Oa the whofe , the feeling in the market was satisfactory ; and If the accounts from India by the mail , which may how be daily expected , should be of a favourable complexion , some more decided improvement may be reasonably looked for . We are sorry to state , that a failure to some extent in the corn trade lias been announced in thia town tbi 3 week ; bat its effects are not ^ likely to be very seriously felt here . —Manchester Guardian , Wednes ' day ' V - ¦ ; ¦"¦ . •; . - . ¦ ¦ : .

State of the Hosiery and Lace TRADES .- ^ -There cannot be said to be any material improvement in any branch of the hosiery manufactures . Silkgloves may be a shade better , but not to the extent to nearly employ the hands ^ The cotton glove branch is dull ; and sorry we are to hear , that the truck system has entered Bulwell ; the charges made in this branch for frame rent , slur-clocks , and a variety orother such impositions , are a frightful drawback upon the wages , and make the situation of the operative bad indeed . The silk hose branch is in the same depressed state that it has been in for some
years . The Bilk-knotted branoh is also in a most depressed condition , and the recent decease of the "father of that trade , " we fear , will not much amend its prospects , as he w&s indefatigable in scraping up orders . The fancy hoso trade , though extremely flat , is yet the most stable of all the branches . The drawer , pantaloon , and shirt branch is still in the same feverish state—extremely limited in its employnienti The bobbin-hot trade is in a most unsettled state in England . The warp lace trade is somewhat bettor , and from What we can learn , lace is beginning to be worn in great profusioa in the higher circles , particularly in ornamenting caps and bonnfits .
Murder of a Son by his Father . —An inquest was held at North CdUingham , Nottinghamshire , on the 23 d May instant , before P . R . Falkner , Esq ., Coroner , over the body of Mr . George Raworth , who was a respectable currier , aged between thirty and forty years . He lived with his father , but the latter had never spoken to him fur upwards of two years . The deceased , on Saturday last , had put his horse into a cart , and was ready to start to Newark , when a neighbour , Mrs . Gilbert , called , and requested him to wait five minutes whilst she fetched a basket , which she wished him to take to Newark . She was not absent more than five minutes , and , not seeing him in the yard on her return , Went into the house , when she found him in an inner room , in a state of groat suffering , and scarcely able to speak , with blood fiowiug profusely from one of hia ears , at the back of which he had received a violent blow .
His father , who is a shoemaker , was sitting in the same room flt his work , quite indifferent and unconcerned , and offttved no assistance , and evinced no sympathy for his son . A medical man was sent for , and soon after arrived , and found the deceased rapidly sinking . and insensible , in which state he continued till his death in the evenings The father at first denied any knowledge of the iujury , bet afterwards confessed he had inflicted it with a thick bar of wood , with which the outer door of the house was fastened , but alleged that his son had provoked him to it . On opening the head it was found that the skull was extensively fractured at the back of the ear , and that the deceased had also reoeived three or four other violent contusions on the head . The Jury immediately returned a verdict of * Wilful murder , " against the father , who was committed by the Coroner to the County Gaol , to take his trial at the next Assize
