Dreadful Shipwrecks off Ramsgatb . —Seventeen Lives Lost . —On Sunday morning last , at an early hour , the town of Ramsgate was thrown into a Btate of the most painful excitement on account of two large vessels being wrecked on the Goodwin Sands , during the storm which raged furiously the whole night from the sonth-west , unequalled in violence since the hurricane in November last . Directly upon the wreck being observed from the Bhore , which was not till near nine o ' clock , a party of the Coast Guard service , under the directiou of the lieutenant of the Ramsgats station , pushed off in their lugger to render assistance to the unfortunate creatures who might be on board , and a number of fishing boats put off for the same humaBe purpose . The
weather at the time was still extremely severe , the wind blowing almost a hurricane , with a tremendous sea rolling , and the greatest anxiety prevailed lest the boats shonld not be able to outlive its fury ; bat nevertheless , the gallant fellows stood the buffet of the waves with singular courage , and in the course of a short time they succeeded in gaining the distressed vessels . The first gained proved to be a barque called the Hope , belonging to London , commanded bv Captain Steel , on her homeward voyage from Quebec . She had struck on the outside of the Goodwin Sands , and was breaking up rapidly . There were no persons on board , which at first led to a supposition that the crew had been washed off by the sea , which was making a complete breach over
her . But upon inquiring of a master of a schooner , lying in the roads , it was ascertained that they had been savod by a vessel belonging to Broadstairs , named the Tartar . It appears , from the accounts given by the crew , that the ship struck shortly after midnight , when runuihg for the mouth of the Thames . The wreck has since entirely disappeared . Her loss is estimated at between £ 5 , 000 and £ 6 , 000 . The other wreck , upon the Coast Guard reaching it , was discovered to be that of a barque , nearly of the same size , named the Nanoy ; but they were unable to approach it on account of the tremendous surf about the sands where she struck . It is close to the Light of all Nations , which is reported to have been destroyed about the same time : it was supposed by
the ship passing over it . From the fact of the boats being attached to the wreck , there is little doubt but the entire of her crew perished , as none of them have since been beard of . The ship is valued at £ 8 , 000 . During the morning , and whilst the storm was at its height , his Belgian Majesty ' s man-of-war , the Comte de Flanderes , 18 guns , Capt . Hyde , commander , had a narrow escape of being lost off the same sands . The ship , which had but a day or two before sailed from O 3 tend on a voyage of discovery round the world , was bearing down through the North Foreland when taken by the storm , and driven back on to the sands . For a length of time her situation was extremely perilous , and the consternation on board amongst her numerous crew was , as may be supposed , excessively great . After cutting away the formast , and otherwise lightening tneship , she floated off , and was subsequently brought to an anchor in the roads . About three o ' clock in
the morning , the Royal George , Margate sttamer , came down to her assistance , and the captain offered to tow the ship into Ramsgate harbour . The offer was , however , refused . On Sunday afternoon , upon the storm somewhat abating , she was got under weigh , and reached Ramsgate in the course of the evening , where she still remains to repair damages . The Royal George steamer afterwards Baw two ships ashore at Deal , having been driven from their moorings in the roads . From the position in which the vessels laid , it was fully expected that they would become wrecks . Since then several other vessels have been ascertained as having been lost in the course of the night , as the coast , both in a northerly and southerly direction , has been strewn with spars and pieces of wrecks . This day ' s intelligence from the coast , it is much feared , will contain an account of fearful destruction of life and property in all quarters .
The Peice op Bread . —The government during the past week have ordered to be carried into effect a new arrangement with reference to ascertaining the price of bread throughout the country , as charged by the bakers , in every town in which a corn inspector has been appointed by which it will be enabled to correctly ascertain the relative price which bread bears to the price of Whe » t in every part of the kingdom . The following id a copy of a circular which has been addressed to the several corn-inspectors . "Corn-office , October 15 , 1842 . Sir—Please to send with your next corn returns the price of the quartern-loaf , or the four pound loaf , as the case may be , of fine flour , dnring the week to which thelreturn refers . —I am , sir , your obedient , ( Signed ) E . J . Lack . To the Inspector of Corn-returns at . "

HUDDEBSF 1 EIjI > . Fbee Masomiy . —On Friday , the 14 th , several hnndreds of the above order assembled in the Masonic Hall , South Parade , from w " : ich place they walked in procession to the Philosophical H&ll , where an excellent dinner was provided ; unfortunately , however , the influx of Masons was so great that many were nnable to procure any dinner at all . It was also understood that ladies should be admitted to the orchestra and gallery without distinction , for the purpose of witnessing the very interesting presentation of the massive Chandleabram to the Noble Earl of Mexbro , P . G . M ., which was done in the usual form .
Lectures . —On Sunday last , Robert Owen , Esq , delivered two lectures in the Hall of Science , to crowded audiences . Subject— " National Distress and its remedy . " His delivery and method were good , and his matter perspicuous . Every one appeared pleased . In the evening the greater portion of his time was occupied in answering questions , which he accomplished in so easy and apparently satisfactory a manner , that won for him the admiration of nearly all present . BRADFORD .. —Fatal Coalpit Accident . — On Monday last , a boy named Nicholl , sixteen years sf age , was in the act of bringing a corve of coal from the miner , and had to come down a steep hill , called a Gall Hill , when he was run over by the horse , and killed on the spot . The pit belonged to the Low Moor Company .
LEEDS . —Charge of Assault—On Saturday last , Mr . Robert Perring , late proprietor of the Conservative Journal , appeared before Griffith Wright and J . R , Atkinson , Esqre ., at the Court House , on a warrant charging him with having committed an assault upon Mr . Griffith Cnllingworth , bookseller , Briggate . According to the statement of the complainant , he , accompanied by the clerk of Mr . Nay lor , solicitor , went to the shop of Mr . Pernng , in Commercial-Btreet , to demand the payment of the rent due to Mr . CulHngworth , the former tenant of the premises , who had sublet them to Mr . Perring . Having stated the errand on which they had visited him , Mr . Perring commenced a volley of abuse , and reaching over the eoonter , seizvi hold of lainnt
comp a ' s nose , like a monkey , aad exhibited in ite pulling , all the ferooitj of the tiger . In answer to aa enquiry from the bench , Sir . Cullingworth stated that the premises belonged to Mr . Luke Marsh , bat , at the close of bis tenantcy . he had sublet them to Mr . Perring ; consequently , the rent was due to him , and not to Mi . Marsh . Mr . Perring , in reply to the charge , denied that he had palled complainant ' s nose ; he had done nothing beyond attempting to get hold of it ; but had he done 60 , or given him ten times as much as be had done , Mr . Calling worth was aware that he deserved it all . He then went into a statement of the cause of the quarrel , which he attributed to the fact that Mr . Cnllingworth had made statements to the rate collectors which had caused him to be summoned to that court fox rates . He had applied to Mr . Marsh

on the subject of the rent in dispute , and offered him the amount , but he refused to take it ; and for fixtures , which he had paid Mr . Cnllingworth £ 42 for , he had offered to glet him have back again for £ 20 , and now would let him bave them for £ 15 , a proof that Mr . Cullingworth had imposed upon him . He had been told by Mr . Marsh that Mr . Culllngworth bad gone about sneaking with these tales , and telling every body he came near that be was going to leave the town and cheat the publio . He denied emphatically that he was going away without paying
everything due from him , and let those who could come there and say what they wanted of him , and he would pay them . Mr . C . had gone sneaking abont the premises in all sorts of ways , and had done all that he couid to injure him . This was the provocation he had received , and this led to the attemptand it was no more than an attempt he had made to pull Mr . Culliugworth ' s nose , a punishment which he richly deEerved . The Bench having consulted together , fined Mr . Perring 10 s . and costs , aud the parties left the court .
The Difficulties of Povkhty overcome by the Voluntary Principle . —On Sunday , laat , sermons were preached in the Primitive Methodist Rehobotb Chapel , St . Peter ' s Hill , Park-lane , Leeds ; in the morning and evening by tho Rev . J , Fiesher , from Scarborough ; and in the afternoon , and on ( he Monday evening following , by the Rev . T . Holliday , of Leeds ; when the liberal sum of upwards of £ 166 was collected in aid of the funds of the Chapel , it being about £ 112 more than the anniversary collections of the previous year . Stealing a Watch . —On Tuesday last , a man named John Hartley , was committed for trial at the session ? , on a charge of having stolen a silver watch , on the 20 th of June last , the property of Admiral Crew , a brickmaker , in Woodhouse-lane .
Animal Politics . —What sort of politics these may be wo acknowledge ourselves unable to determine . We perceive , however , that the good people of Leeds are to be edified upon this subjeot . in connection with the Natural History of Scripture , on Monday and Wednesday evenings next , at the Chartist Room , Cheapside , by Mr . W . D . Taylor . We have no doubt that the lecturer will succeed in making bis discourses amusing and interesting , as well as edifying . Municipal Movements . —West Ward . —The Whigs , and the " Extension of Commerce , " and the Sturge Suffrage men seem at their wit ' s end in this ward . They have tried all the soft sawder they ai ^ e so well masters o ( t and yet they cannot find a
genuine Whig who will lead their forlorn hope , nor can they persuade " the lads" to be gammoned with anything less than straight-forward men who declare their sentiments without disguise , and who epeak so plainly that there can be no mistaking what they mean from what they say . They have in the field Dr . Craven , of Holbeck , and Mr . George Morton , paper stainer . As a third man they first tried Mr . T . T . Luocock , of course a respectable gentleman , and proposed by Mr . E . Baines , jun . Mr . Luccock , however , did not like his company : he remembered the old adage , " Tell me who are your companions , and I will tell you what you are . " Well , Mr . Luccock having refused , another meeting was held on Monday night last , at which Mr .
Darnton Lupton , a Russell justice , was the great gun , and he , yes he , had a candidate of the right sort , but one who would only stand on condition that the Reformers were united ; he could not act if questions were to be asked , and if he were to be called upon to announce his peculiar views of the requisite qualifications for the office of a Town Councillor . The candidate he proposed was Mr . Waddingham . But at this meeting another candidate was proposed , for the " Lads" had determined to have some say in the matter , and they at once brought out Mr . Joshua Hobson . Here was a bomb shell thrown into the midst of the camp ; and , faith , it fairly blew the wind out of them . Scouts at once were out in all directions , to draw up their
forces , while those left iu the meeting kept up a noisy war of words , talking , or rather shouting , against time , until reinforcements arrived , and they were enabled to carry their man by some few votes . Of course , however , Mr . Waddingham will not stand , because the meeting was not unanimous . This , we believe , bis friends know , at least it was understood that they had bo satisfied themselves at a subsequent meeting on Thursday evening , at which he ought to have been present , to have addressed his constituents elect . This latter meeting was very fully attended ; Mr . Hobson was present , and his wish to addresB the meeting threw " the respectables" again into hysterics : their behaviour was
anything but respectable , but the majority of the meeting being in favour of Mr . Hobson , he spoke for about two hours , and administered to these very respectable gentlemen—these gentlemen , who arrogate to themEelves " all the talents , " such a dressing as they will not soon forget . The other two candidates also spoke , and Mr . Hobson , after answering all the questions which the meeting chose to put to him , declared his intention of polling to the last man , an announcement which was received with thunders of applause by a vast majority of the very crowded meeting . The Tory candidates for this ward are Mr . Richard Bramley , Mr . John Patriok , and Mr . Newsam , land surveyor .
Huhslet Ward . —The Tories have brought out Mr . Beckett , surgeon , to opposo Mr . Arthington , the brewer , in this ward . Mr . Hobson is the people ' s favourite , at ten to one . South Ward . —Mr . France , wharfinger , has been brought out by the Radicals in this ward , in opposition to Mr . Mitchell . FxPLOsieN of Fireworks . —On Saturday evening , between eight and nine o ' clock , some alarm was occasioned in Gower street by an explosion of gunpowder and fireworks , at a house occupied by a widow named Booth , at the lower end of that street , next to Regent-street . It appears that Mrs . Booth ha 3 a daughter ( also a widow ) named Scholefield , residing with her ; a son of the latter , Lawrence
Scholefield , eighteen years of age ; and two young men as lodgers . The house is cellared underneath , but this cellar is let off as a separate dwelling , and bas no connexion with the house ; but a small cellar extends inder a house in another street at the back of Gower-street , called Rose-street . In this small cellar , young Scholefield had been for some time preparing fireworks , and was so employed on Saurday night . He had , it is supposed , about four pounds of gunpowder , besides prepared fire-works in the cellars when by some means , not yet explained , an explosion took place which it is providentially did not result more seriously . Scholefield , it would appear , was on his way up stairs , when the explosion happened ; whether he had put his candle out , or still had it ic his hand , we have not learnt . He was struck by the shock , and has received very serious injurits . The floor of the house in Rosestreet , occupied by James Robinson , a cloth-dresser ,
was torn completely up , and the nags composing it were heaped in a confused mass against the door ; the wife of Robinson , with an infant on her knee , was sat by the fire , and most providentially escaped unhurt , She was obliged to be got out of the window The door and frame of Mrs . Booth ' s house , in Gower-street , were blown completely out into the street , all the windows were broken , and the front wall is so fractured as to render it necessary to take it down ; Borne of the bricks , indeed , are broken completely in two , aad a large fissure presents itself extending nearly from the ground to the roof . Young Scholefield was removed to the Infirmary . On inquiry there , we learn , that though dreadfully burnt about the face , neck , breast , and arms , he is going on favourably , and hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery . We ought to have mentioned that his mother , in extinguishing the flames in which be was enveloped , was also much burnt about the hands and arms .
Sudden Death . —On Saturday last , an inquest was held at the Court House , before E . C . Hopps , Esq ., deputy coroner , on the body of Henry Worfolic , twenty-two years of age , a cropper , residing , when alive , in Wood-street , Briggate . The deceased left his home on Friday evening about seven o ' clock , and having met with a female in the street , he went with her to a public-bouse , and they were drinking together until eleven , after which he accompanied her to a house in Jubilee-court , Kirktate , where they were to pass the night . Between ve and six o ' clock on Saturday morning , be was taken so ill that Mr . Hiddlestone , the house surgeon to the House of Recovery , was Bent for , but before his arrival , which was as Boon as possible , the man had expired . Mr . Hiddlestone afterwards made a post mortem examination of the body , which exhibited only natural appearances , and the Jury returned a verdict of M Died by the visitation OJ God . *'
HUNSLET . —A pnblio meeting of the burgesses of Hunslet was held on Thursday last , at twelve o ' clock at noon , near the church , at whioh there were about five hundred persons present . The meeting was called for the purpose of testing the views and principles of the different municipal candidates , on local and general government . On the motion of Mr . John Lynd , seconded by Mr . Francis Jackson , Mr . Thomas Beaumont was unanimously called upon to preside . The chairman opened the business of the meeting by calling upon Mr . John Lynd to read the report of the deputation that bad been appointed to wait upon the candidates to request their atteadanoe , and which was as follows : —* The deputation having waited nDftn Mr . Arthinrfon .
» ad having asked that gentleman if he would attend the above meeting , bis answer waa , No , I bave no intention to be present at any publio meeting f and be further stated that he considered it unnecessary to appear before the burgeasesat a puttie meeting . Having told him we considered it necessary that every candidate should appear before the burgesses m order that a perfect understanding should exist between them , and that the burgesses miebt become acquainted with the news of the candidates and principles on local and general government he replied , that he would not pledge himself what be would do , bui he would act according to his own discretion . $ eeing the indifference he manifested to the questions we put to him , we thought it oar duty to ask him if he bad consented to stand as

a Whig candidate at the ensuing election ? He answered , * No ; they have placed my name upon the orange bills without my consent , in doing which I consider they have acted very foolish . I belong to uo party of politicians ; in fact , I never bother my head with politics , nor do I consider it a political question at all . ' We then told him oar interests as working men were at stake in the choice we made , but that , of course the most essential qualification for a member of the Town Council was a love of economy . He replied there were different kinds of economy . It was economy some times to spend a little , and some times a large Bum of money . We then told him of Whig eoonomy , and referred to the extravagant sum of £ 300 per year .
which had been givan to Mr . Whitehead and another gentleman for performing the same duties Mr . Whitehead himself offered to do for £ 150 a year . ' Perhaps , ' said he , Mhe Town Council knew that he could not efficiently discharge the duties of the office for bo small a sum as £ 150 per year . ' We told him we considered Mr . Whitehead suf&oiently qualified to judge of the dutiea be would have to perform , and to state what he could discharge those duties for . His answer was , ' I know nothing at all of the affair . ' We then left the gentleman , fully convinced that if the burgesses of Hunslet returned him to the Town Council , they would only have themselves to blame , if the rates were treble the amount they are before this day twelvemonth . The deputation then waited
upon Mr . Beckett , the Tory candidate , aud haviug requested him to attend , he told them he had no individual objections , but that he was entirely in the hands of bis committee ; the deputation having seen Mr . Heaton , the chairman of his committee , he told them that the committee would not sit till the evening after the meeting would take place , so that we could receive no further information either from Mr . Beckett or his committee . " The Chairman , after a few observations , then introduced Mr . Joshua Hobson to the meeting , who oocupied one hour and a halt' in a most eloquent , lucid , and energetic speech ; after which , a few questions were asked him by several parties present , to which he gave the most satisfactory answers . The meeting then broke upall going away fully convinced that Mr . Hobson was the only man for them .

STRANGE PROCEEDINGS AT A MEETING FOR THE CHOICE OF CONSTABLE FOR THE TOWNSHIP OF L 1 VERSEDGE , AND CHARGE EXTRAORDINARY OF GEORGE BROOKE NELSON , STEWARD OF THE COURT LEET , AT BRADFORD . It has been seldom our lot , as public journalists , to report more singular proceedings than tbe following ; and certainly never any which more showed the necessity of the working men having every officer , over whom they have controul in the choosing , or
who can in any way affect their interetts , of their own appointing . It' they do not look to their own interests , and choose men in whom they have the most implicit confidence , they are sore to have foul play if their interests or wishes come across ( hose of the other class . From this time let there be no mincing the matter about respectability ; let them appoint the humblest individual in the township , if of sufficient capacity to ba chairman of their meetings , or they are certain to have any thing but fair play , as the following report will fully demonstrate .
A meeting was held in the veBtry of Liversedge Church on Thursday , the 13 th inst , for the purpose of appointing proper persons as constables for the ensuing year , Mr . Joseph Oates in the chair . Previous to the meeting , a certain number of the rate * payers , ' all honourable men , ' finding out that their Dogberry would not be reinstated in his office , if the full sense of the rate-payers were taken , resorted to the following trick , to appear to give notice of the meeting according to the letter of the law , but at the same time to keep the townspeople in ignorance of the meeting being to take place . The constables , whose duty it was to give notice of the meeting , sent one of the deputies with tbe notice to post at the church doors , at such a time that it was' after
the service had commenced when the notice was Eut up , ' and he pulled it down before the service ad closed in the thus preventing anybody but one boy , who chanced to be loitering in the churchyard , from knowing anything about the meeting . The boy told what he had seen , which spread the alarm , and caused a considerable number to muster , to the great chagrin of the coacoctors of the plot . After tbe * Chairman had opened the business in the usual way , some questions were asked the constables , for thepurpoBe of censuring their conduct , for the insult offered to the rate-payers by their manner of posting the notice , when one of the deputies , with all the modesty imaginable , told tho meeting to its teeth that he had posted the notice after the service
had commenced , and pulled it doum before it closed ; and that he was not going to come down after dinner to take it down to please them . The Chairman , finding how things were likely to run , here took exception to the legality of the meeting , owing , as he said , to the insufficiency of the notice , and actually entered a resolution in the minute book , stating that the ratepayers had decided that the meeting was illegal , without the resolution having been put to them ! This , of course , was objected to , and the Chairman was asked to take the sense of the meeting upon the resolution , which he POSITIVELY REFUSED to do , and declared that he would dissolve the meeting upon his own responsibility . He was begged of to either take the sense of the meeting upon the resolution , or to allow the meeting
to proceed , as the Court Leet would swear in constables whether that meeting appointed any or not . But no , nothing would do ; the chairman clearly saw that the meeting would not appoint them a Dogberry , and so he was determined to throw the thing upon the chapter of accidents . This is almost the first time we ever saw Mr . Joseph Oates sacrifice ihe man to the altar of the partizan ; and we sincerely hope for his own peace of mind , that it will be thelast . Upon the chairman vacating the chair , the constable was proposed to take it , but he refused . It was then proposed that James Penny take the chair , which was acceded to , and a resolution wis passed and entered in the minute book , recommending persons to the Court Leet as constables . The following persons were then proposedI : —
Joseph Goodall , the old constable . . . Joseph Milnes , as his successor . Mr . Joseph Mimes bad twenty-seven votes , and the old Constable bad only five votes . ' . The old Constable went to the Court Leet at Bradford , and with all the nonchalance imaginable returned himself as constable . ¦ Mr . Penny was there and objected to him on account of his not having been returned by a town's meeting . The Constable then commenced a furious tirade against the Chartists . " It was all a Chartist plot ! The deputy was in league with tbe Chartists to set fire to the Thames some fine afternoon we suppose . The Deputy and the Chartists had concocted the plot on purpose to make the meeting illegal . " When
at the moment he was saying it the truth-telling Constable knew that it was a plot of his own and his colleagues to prevent the ratepayers ousting him from his office . Mr . Penny here stepped forward , and after adverting to the facts already detailed , said that they were not come there to discuss politics ; this was no question about Whig , Tory , or Chartist , but whether the voice of theassembly of ratepayers should be taken on the recommendation of a constable , or the voice of an individual ; and that of course the court would dismiss all such considerations from their minds . When Mr . George Brook Nelson , the president of the court , observed , in all the manner and spirit of my Lord Abinger , " I grant you , sir , that so far as Whig and Tory goes , it would be quite proper for
the jury to dismiss from their minds all political considerations , but that if we advanced a step further , if you went to Chartism , a broad line of distinction must be drawn . " There ! ** a Daniel come to judgment I" "yea , a Daniel i" This is the boasted impartiality of British law ! This is one of the proofs that rich and poor are all equal in the eye of the law I Good God , is it coma to this , that we are to be told from the judgment Beat that the man who holds opinions varying from those of the judge , is to be deprived of all his rights of citizenship , notwithstanding all law and all usage is in his favour ! If Mr . George Brooke Nelson never before used an argument in favour of Chartism , he did now , and that too in a place and manner which must have told
with fearful energy . What , " Master Brooke , " did it tend to make us contented to insult us by telling , in so many words , that we were only to pay rates , and be satisfied with the mockery of voting our own officersi Did you think this , " Master Brook" \ If you did , you are a " moat wise young judge ! " We are informed that he used nearly the same words , and fully the same nonsense , in charging the jury after the parties had withdrawn . This cannot be true . But supposing it to be true , ought he ever again to be permitted to sit in a court of any Kind \ We are informed , too , that one of the " Dogberries" on the jury , not only reiterated the above sentiment , but added , " that they ( the Chartists ) ought to be hunted from eociety I" We dare not
think this true . But if it be we should feel much obliged to any one who would furnish us with the name and place of abode of the wretch . There is another hero , too , who figured prominently upon the scene ; and , though lastoot least , he came to speak in favour of the wishes of the rate-payers being set aside for the "dictum of an individual . This was no less a personage than the "respectable and liberal" Mr . George Scott , of Heckmondwike . This Worthy pretends to belong to that faction which the Lord Mayor of Dublin designated the " base , bloody , and brutal Whigs ;" but he acts in the double capacity both of mother Cole and man-midwife in assisting to give birth to
the incestuous issue of both the factions . When " Master Brooke ' had given birth to the aforesaid sentiment , Mother Cole stepped forward , and , with the Belf-sufncienoy which is usually assumed by a man-midwife , said , " He quite agreed with that which bad fallen from the Chairman , that there ought t © be a broad line of distinction drawn when a Chartist came in question" ! Say you so , Mother Cole ! And what ought to be the conduct of the rate-payers of Heckmondwike and Liversedge'if , after this , you should ever again insult them by your presence at any of their meetings ! What kind of stuff are they made of it' you be even tolerated after this ?

The business doing in the warehouses , is as trifling as needs be . The wool market also is extiemely dull . Rochdale Fiawnel Market , Monday , Oct , 24 , —There has been another brisk flannel market today , and pieces have been easy to sell at former prices . In wool there is no change to report : the manufacturers still continue to bay for immediate
use . HUDDERSFIELD CLOTH MARKET , TCESDAT , OCT . 25 th . —There appeared more business transaction * in the Hall this day than of last week . Fancy cloths were iu great request . There was a moderate share of business done in other kinds of goods . Wools , Oils &c . heavy .

State of Trade—There was no improvement in the demand , yesterday , either for yarn or goods ; and prices of both , especially of the latter , continue gradually to decline . At the same time , stocks of all current numbers of yarn , and of most descriptions of goods with the | exception of printing cloth , are exceedingly light ; and most of tbe spinners and manufacturers are working to order . These facts show the exceedingly prostrate condition ef the trade at the present time ; but they also give promise of improvement at no distant period . — -Manchester Guardian of Wednesday .
Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 22 . —The demand for all descriptions of Fiour has been on the most limited scale , and the transactions in this article during the week were chiefly in retail quantities , at reduced prices . Oatmeal , on the contrary , was in a very steady request , and all suitable cut were readily cleared off to consumers at the current obtainable rates of this day se ' nnight . Again the arrivals from Ireland form the principal amount of imports into Liverpool or Runcorn ; those elsewhere are unimportant , and ( he supplies of Flour
from the interior are but to a moderate extent . At our market this morning Wheat met a slow sale at a decline of 2 d . to 3 d . per 701 b 3 . on all descriptions . The inquiry for Fiour was likewise of a languid character , and even at a reduction of fully Is . per sack a very moderate extent of business was transacted . Oats must also be quoted Id . per bushel lower ; 2 s . 6 d . per 45 lbs . being atop value . Seleot qualities of Oatmeal , however , met with a fair demand , and all such were readily disposed of to the trade at full prices .
Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Oct . 24 . — Since this day se ' nnight we have received 2238 quarters of Wheat . 6550 quarters of Oats , 1972 sacks of Flour , and 10 , 231 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland , together with 1160 quarters of Wheat , and 1233 qrs . of Barley coastwise ; the imports otherwise are of trifling amount . The duties on foreign Grain are the same as stated last week . On Tuesday all descriptions of Wheat were sold at 2 d per bushel below our last quotations ; no further change has since occurred , and the week ' s business in that grain is to a fair amount : the transactions on Friday
incjuded two or three purchases on speculation . Most of the Irish new has been cleared off at 6 s to 6 s 4 d per 70 lbs . Our low rates for Oats have attracted the notice of country dealers , and several cargoes of Irish new have latterly found vend at 2 s 2 d to 2 s 4 d per 45 lba . New Meal at 20 s 6 d to 2 ls per 240 lbs . has also met more demand . The finer brands of States Flour are held for rather more money ; Western Canal at 27 s to 27 s 6 d : Canadian is selling at 25 s 6 d to 26 s per bushel ; Irish at 36 s to 39 s per sack . English new Barley is held at Mi to 35 s per quarter : but at these rates the maltsters do not buy freely . No change as regards Beans cr Peas .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , October 24 . —At our market to-day , we bad again a feanty show of Wheat from the neighbouring counties ot Essex , Kent , and Suffolk ; the condition of some of the samples was more or less affected by the humid state of the atmosphere , whioh imparted additional languor to the trade . * At the commencement of business , a proportion of the Essex supply was cleared off at about the currency of Monday last : but , before the close of the day , many sellers would willingly have taken Is per quarter less , notwithstanding whioh several runs remained undisposed of ac a late hour . For the finer kinds of free foreign we had an improved inquiry , and purchases could scarcely have been made on such easy terms as on Friday ; we must , however , quote this article at Is per quarter lower than on this day week . The value
of town-manufactured Flour underwent no change ; ship samples were obtainable at the recent decline . Though the show of Barley was not large , consider ' able difficulty was experienced in making sales ; still we do not consider prices cheaper than on Monday last . Inferior kinds of Malt were quite unsaleable ; but really fine qualities , whether old or new , supported their previous value . Besides the quantity of Oafs reported , we had a large arrival from Ireland fresh up ; aud , the dealers holding off , the trade was even more dull than last week . Fine qualities of English and . Scotch did not give way much ; but Irish of all descriptions were fully 6 d to Is per quarter cheaper . With Beans we were moderately supplied , and purchases could not bave been made below the currency of Monday . Peas were scarce , and a shade dearer .
Newcastle Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 22 . — We have etill to report a continuance of most favourable weather for the country . We had some rain this morning , which will prove of great advantage , such being much wanted . At our market thiB morning , we had a large show of Wheat from the growers ; but from the coast the arrivals are trifling . We note the trade Is . to 2 j . per quarter lowerj but , at this reduction , sales were more readily effected than last week . In foreign very few transactions occurred , although rather under late rates would have been accepted . The arrivals of Flour being considerable , and more than the demand could take off , prices hare declined Is . to 23 . per sack , at which declension only a small portion of the supply has
found buyers . For prime Norfolk households , 36 s . may be considered an extreme quotation ; whilst whites sell from 36 s . to 38 s ., according to quality . Our millers came to the determination of reducing flour 3 s . per sack to-day ; but as this was already anticipated we do not apptehend \ i " » i \\ have much effect on out sales next week . In Rye little passing . We have had a few parcels of Norfolk Barley in this week , which have been taken off at 303 . to 333 . per quarter . In Malt there bas been less doing ; but in its value we have little alteration to note . Beans and Peas unaltered . The show ot Oats from tbe country this morning was moderate ; nevertheless , much difficulty was experienced in effecting sales , although offered at a reduction of Is . per quarter .
Thirsk Corn Market , Monday , Oct . 24 . —An average supply ; demand exceedingly dull ; Wheat , 5 s . to 53 . 6 d . ; Rye , 4 s . to 4 s . 6 d . ; Maslin , 4 s . 6 d . to 4 s . 9 d . ; Beans , 4 s . 3 d . to 53 . per bushel ; Oats , 16 s . to 233 . « d . ; Barley , 26 b . to 30 s . per quarter . Richmond Corn Market , Saturd ay , Oct . 23 . — We had a very large supply of Grain in our market to day , particularly Wheat . Wheat sold from 5 s . 3 d . to 7 s . ; Oats , 2 s . to 3 s . 8 d . ; Barley , 4 i . to 43 . 6 d , ; Beans , 5 < j . to 5 s . 3 d . per bushel .

TO THE EDITOR O ? THE NORTHERN STAR . Sib ., —The Chartist public generally , and the united Chartists , ( which all men should be , ) ongnfc to be fully alive to the necessity of tho establishment of a General Victim Fund , for the defence aud general assistance of tbe victims , now under arrest , ( or that may be arrested for political offences , ) their wives and families . This fund should be risen by the General Conncil of the National Charter Association , by whom collectors Bheuld be appointed ; or by the members in assembly , who should be furnished with collecting books or sheets , duly signed by the subsecretary or 6 nb treasurer , who should receive weekly the Money collected , and forward the same to the general treasurer , to be applied to the proper purpose . A similar plan should be adopted ( or the collection of the weekly contributions of the members .
The evident determination of the fac ions press , parsons , magistrates , jurors , and judges , to victimize the noblest spirits of our order ; to pour down their own , and tbe malignant vengeance of the direful acts that ignorant , prejudiced , selfish , class-legislators hare dignified with the name of law , upon the wretched starving victims ; to carry out other such enactmtnts as disgrace tho statute book of modern legislation , as witness ihe vindictive sentence of Ellis , and of the working men at Preston , one upon , the charge of destroying property , the other for taking bread to satisfy the cravings of hunger , or rather because they did not starve and die as have many others of our Christian brethren ;— These wicked acts of the
factious , evidence the necessity of such a fund as the above being established permanently , for faction has only yet began to put you down with the iron-hand oi' desp ' .-tic acts and power ; it hath not ended its work of persecution and proscription ; be prepared therefore , to meet the fell povrer at every point . Money is the sinews of war . therefore , get money . With money , prudence , energy , and honest zeal for the principles of freedom , whereon is based our noble cause , we shall , we must succeed . Hoping my fellowbondsmen will pay Btrict attention to the plan suggested , and my few observations , which I trust are to the pom :, I remain , faithfully yours , S . J . Bristol .
