      After some confusion , Mr Fucx said he could not recollect the words of any speeches delivered by Mr "Welch ; bathe was aware tbat Mr Welch had advocated the repeal of the union . (' Hear , hear , and cheers . ) ,, « « « Mr Hilikd was here proposedby Mr P . Costbim > b , and seconded by Mr A .

      .... , Kr Htmsd said he had a rig ht to speak . The Est .

( Great laughter . ) Mr Htxasd . —I , won't be put down by noise . A Voice , —Oh , oh . Another Voice . —Upon your sowl . ( Roars of laughter and great confusion . ) The High-Sheriff said he should adjourn the court if this confusion continued .

      Mr Htusd . —How would tbe people best promote their interest ? By supporting the man of rank—the man of fortune . ( ' Ne , no ;* * Tea , yea /) He wonld occupy their time no longer , as Mr Costelloewas about to speak , aad would amuse them . (* More power to him ; the d—1 a better .

      Mr CosTBtLoa—K the sainted spirit of O'Connell were permitted to visit this earth , he ( Mr Costelloe ) would not wonder if he were looking with saintly delight on the proceedings of that day , and such scenes . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Mr Costelloe ' a ) coming forward was rather a joke ; but , as an old agitator , he would say that there was no part of Ireland in which he would not get a patient hearing , A Voice . —Does your mother know you ' re out ? ( Laughter . ) MrCosTBznos was happy to say that , in spite of some parties who desired the contrary , he got a patient hearing . Those parties had fouud that he knew- the trick of speaking , while they did not know tbe trick of interrupting . ( Loud cheers , countercheers , and laughter . ) The Sheriff then called for a show of hands , and declared it to be in favour of Messrs Butler and Hely .

      A poll was demanded for ihe other candidates . Spicy as the preceding is , it fades into insignificance before tbe subjoined speech , delivered at the nomination for

      TIPPERART ( COUNTY . ) Archdeacon Laffak rose , and was greeted with a tremendous burst of acclamation . He took the Times newspaper out ef his pocket , and throwing it with force on the table , said to Mr Collctt' There ' s year speech at Lincoln , for you . ' ( Great cheering . ) 'My Lord Suirdale ( continued the Archdeacon ) , I never in the whole course of my life , and it is a long political life , stood up in this Court-boose with feelings of more regret . Who are yon bringing forward this day , Tory gentlemen ef Tipperary ? ( Cheers . ) I ' m ashamed of you . ( Great cheering . ) I always like to catch the bull by the horns ; ( Laughter . ) Who , I repeat , are yon bringing forward , respectable , independent landlords of Tipperary ? The man who stood by in the House of Commons when Roebuck called you murderers , and did notstandnpto defend you . ' Mr CorxErr . —I did . ( Groans . )

      Archdeacon Laffas . —Oh , gentlemen of Tipperary ! Oh , respectable descendants of the Tipperary aristocracy ! Though yon are Tories , I love you better than John Bull —( laughter)—who will laugh atyon when your estates are confiscated , and year children beggars . ( Loud cheers . ) Those English fellows have not one drop of the milk of human kindness in their bosoms . Did that ill-looking * fellow ( pointing to Mr Collett ) , —and he is a very ill-looking fellow , ( Laughter ) . — Here Mr Collett commenced writing in his tablet . i

      Archdeacon Lims . —Pot that down in your tablet ; carry that in yoursnuff bor , as we say in Tipperary . ( Loud laughter . ) I do regret , my Lord Suirdale , to see any man of the old stock of the aristocracy coming to the back of a man whom they do not know . ( Hear , hear . ) I care not fortheWhigs or Tories ; they are all alike to me , from snappish . R oebuck to Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel . "Cheers . ) They called you , landlords of Ireland , wholesale murderers ; and didthatfellow—{ laughter ) --stand np for you ? ( Loud laughter . ) Don't be looking so angry at me , sir ; don't thinkyou ' u intimidate me . Mr John Bull . ( Loud cheers . ) lit was really laughable to see the astonished , confused , angry looks of Mr Collett , who did not expect such a laceration from the very reverend gentleman . !

      The AscnoEicos ( smiling ) . —1 am glad Roebuck is out of Parliament . When he charged thelandlords with driving out their unfortunate tenants , and starving them , did you stand up then , Mr Collett , and call him a liar ? ( Loud cheers . ) Do you know , my lord Suirdale , what a Frenchman said of John Ball ? He said , ' He used you very well , for he eated de oyster and gave you de shell . ' ( Load laughter . ) Bat , Tory landlords of Tipperary , your candidate was turned out of Lincoln , and you thought him good enough for Tipperary—out of the frying-pan into the

      fire . ( Laughter . ) Oh , gentlemen , are yon—are you not ashamed of ; yourselves ? ( Loud laughter . ) I see the crimson blush mantling on your cheeks—yon can t conceal it—your hearts are not with your tongues—yon are partly Irish after all . ( Loud cheers . ) If ( you retain Collett , he will laugh with contempt at you ; and when yourestatesaresqueered like a lemon , he will damn you for a set of beggarly rascals . ( Loud laughter . ) Collett , did you ever hear that Irishmen had tails ? ( Loud laughter . ) Did you ever hear that the brutal Times called us the bloody priests ? ( Groans . )

      Mr CoiiErr ( good homonredly ) . —Do you say your prayers ? The Abchdeacos— -We do say onr prayer * and 111 make you say yours bsfore 1 am done with yon . ( Laughter . ) It is a sad day when we see men , with their ears and eyes open , select such a man as their candidate for Tipperary . ( Hear . ) I would take my political enemy by the hand ; I wonld shake hands with yon , Mr Collett , if you'd let me ( laughter ); but to friend or foe who wonld abuse me , I would say , « Go along , you scoundrel . ' I could not support Lord John Russell , my Lord Suirdale ; and I will tell you why . Because he starved 2 , 000 , 000 of my fellowcountrymen . ( Groansfor the Premier . ) A scoundrel who lefgsai to lend t * # Teasels ef war te brow food

      to the starving people . ( Groaning . ) And what did the Americar . 8 do—glorious America ? ( load cheering ]—the laad of the brave , where freedom ' s sod was never soiled . ? ( Great cheers . ) What did brave America do ? ThePresidant , the Government , the people scut their best war ships , manned with their n « b ! t Yankee sailors ( cheers ) , with food , not bombshells , to our shares . ( Cheers . ) Compare this wttlithecanductofthe pigmy Premier of England , the rotten Russell . ( Groans , ) . ••^ T ^ J ** " —Ssy , WMth " > K about year own candidate , ( Groans . ) T * s Ahchdbacoh . —I am notdone yet . ( Laughter . ) One source of the great revenue of England is derived from their cast-off clothes , and they send us theircast ^ ff member , saying , ' He ' ll do well enough fee Paddy . ' ( Laughter . ) You stood for Lincoln .

      « r Collet—what ' s yonr name ? John ? ( Laughter . ) I ' m sorry they did not send usa handsomer specimen of the cast-off clothes than you , any way . ( Laughter . ) You ' re sot half as handsome as my man . ( Loud laughter . ) I have here tbe Time * of the 30 th of July , that ' s the day you showed your nose in Lincoln , ( laughter ); and you made your debut very smart . ( Loud laughter . ) Lincoln contains 1 . 859 voters—Colonel Sibthorpe opposed you—he headed the poll . Sure they must have the mischief ' s opinion of you , when they elected Sibthorp in preference to yon . ( Loud laughter . ) Well , how many voted for you ?—I'll tell—out of 1 , 860 voters you got 272 . ( Renewed laughter . ) And , after that , yon come to Tipperary , to try tbe Tipperary boys 1 ( Laughter . ) A Voice . —Oh , what a chance he has ! ( Renewed laughter . )

      The Akchdeacon—He has , indeed ! Why , I have here a list of voters for my own two parishes , and there are ia those two parishes alone a majority of seven over his whole sorry supporters in the barony of Middlethird . ( Loud cheers . ) Put that in your pipe , Mr Collett , and smoke it . ( Laughter . ) Electors of Tipperary , I am going to propose as a candidate a young man , and he is not a bit tht worse for being a Roman Catholic —( laughter )—a man was never the worse for knowing how to bless himself . ( Cheers . ) He is a handsome fellow , too . ( Laughter . ) 1 beg leave to propose Francis Scully as a fit and proper person to represent Tipperary . ( Load cheers . ) His father , the late James Scully , was , at the worst of times , at the head of the Catholics of this county . ( Cheers . ) la 1823 , the year before Catholic Emancipation—of which measure , my lord , your lordship ' s ancestors were the most strenons

      advocates—Dr Bukss—A cheer for the old Hutohrasons . ( Loud cheers . ) . The Aechbsacok—I remembarra Dr Burke's present chspel the late lamented O'Connell , may God be merciful to him ! ( Sensation . ) Pray for him , Mr Collett . ( Laughter . ) Dr BoBKE—If he knows how . ( More laughter . ) The Archdeacon—The late Daniel O'Connell was present—James Scully was in the chair . * I am delighted , ' said the Liberator , ' to see you in the chair , James Scully , as the brother of the distinguished author of the Penal laws . ' ( Loud cheers . ) We must have fair play ; we'll beat him into rags , so that his English friends won't know him . ( ' Hear , ' and laughter . ) They'll say , ' Can this be the Collett that stood for Lincoln ? ' ( Loud laughter . ) Electors of Tipperary , you'll do your duty ; we want Ireland for the Irish . ( Loud cheers . ) Onr standard is the green flag of Erin . ( Tremendous cheers . )

      ' On onr side is virtue and Erin ; The friends we have tried Are by our side , And Collett is before us . ' ( Loud cheers . ) I am speaking-at random—( laughter ) but I had a very good speech prepared , and you , Mr Collett spoiled it —( langhter)—by coming up at the eleventh hour with your bamboo head . ( Laughter . ) I really believe it ' s not the first good thing you spoiled . ( Laughter . ) Sir Joseph Yorice , in the House of Commons , at onetime said , that if Ireland was four-and-twenty hours under water , it would be peaceable , and not till then . Little Johnny Russell has adopted a different plan ; he adopted starving them in millions . ( Loud groaning . ) You may go

      home to Lincoln , Mr Collett ; do you live near it ? ( Laughter . ) Go home and tell them from ns , that we are Irish—the descendants of the old Spaniards . ( Cheers . ) You are not a Spaniard , you are more like a Creole . ( Loud laughter . ) Tell them from us that we are not so to he trampled upon —( cheers ) —that we repudiate both Whigs and Tories ; and if Old Nick had both of them Old Ireland would be much better off . ( Laughter . ) We are moral force Repealers . ( Tremendous cheering . ) We are the disciples of the Great O'Connell—he of European fame . ( Loud cheers . ) We are his Mowers , and though he is dead , we will hoist his banner for repeal , liberty , and Old Ireland . ( Great cheering . ) I have great pleasure , my lord and electors of

      Tipperary , m proposing brancis Scully as a fit and proper representative for gallant Tipperary . The venerable archdeacon resumed his seat amidst the loudest demonstrations of applause . It would bo unjust , however , if we did not show the other side of the medal : If redolent of fan , the Irish elections are not wanting in sound political philosophy . At the Antrim County Election , Sir E . Macnaghtea gave a very able exposition of his political principles , in the course of which he thus expressed himself on that great and fundamental question—the Land question : —The produce of their land , and the condition of the people , he considered to be capable of equal improvement . But culture must be applied iu each case—without it , they could

      never hope tojattain the prosperity of England . They had a soil generally superior , a climate suited to the growth of most vegetables , and a population , in natural intelligence , at least equal to their neighbours ; and yet , while they were the wealthiest of the inhabitants of Europe , they were , perhaps , the most impoverished . It was of no use to say want of capital was the proximate cause of their inferiority . It was this capital which they- ought to create , and tbey bad it iu their power to do so . He knew of no species of capital that was not traceable to and derivable from land . There were large districts of country , in Norfolk and Lincolnshire , now bearing the finest crops of wheat and turnips , which ?• or 80 years ago produced nothing but rabbits . Tbe average nuabor of bushels of wheat to the acre ever all England was 26 . Iu Lincolnshire and Norfolk it was 35 and 40 ; and if all England was as well cultivated as those two

      counties , it would produce more wheat than could be consumed iu it , and she would be an exporting country until her population was increased by 10 or 12 millions . The land he spoke of iu Norfolk , 60 or 70 years ago , let for 2 s . 6 d . an acre . It now lets for 30 s . Why should net a similar increase take place in their own produce ? As ' agriculturists , we should remember in what a prodigious degree land had been raised in value since manufactures began to flourish . It was the manufacturing classes that were their best customers . It was they who had created the markets for their produce . It was they who had raised the price of their land ; and , in fact , it was they who paid their rents . As he had said before , it devolved upon them to improve their lands ; to cultivate those which had hitherto lain waste ; if they did not do so , it would be their own fault that their condition was not bettered .

      LIMERICK ( CouKTt ) . The triumphant return of Mr Smith O'Brien has in-Aided a * heavy blow and great discouragemeat' on the family clique which has assumed the Repeal leadership of Conciliation Hall . Every device thatiageauity could suggest was unstrnpulotuly practised to secure the elec . tioa of tbe representative of the Oldlrelaad / action ; all , however , was worse than useless—the motive which suggested tbe violent opposition to the champion of Youag irelandi . ra was too transparent to deceive the most

      gullible ; and , though absent , and without the expenditure of a single shilling on his part , Mr O'Brien won the day by a majority of 40 over Mr Caleb Powell . The gross ¦ umbenattbe close wsre—Moniell $ 51 O'Brien 443 Powell ... .. 403 O'Connell 37 c Another specimen ' racy of the soil * is to be found in the speech of the Rev . Mr Coitallo : —

      The Eev . T . O . B . Costello came forward , « nd was received with cheats . He always came before then with a sense of pleasure mtil that day . Became there as a priest of the Host High—a priest of the Boman Catholic Church , and under what clrcumitancts f ( Cheers . ) He beheld a brother clergyman advocate the cause of one of the eaemiu of tbeir religion ; and he regretted that be was not treated as the greatest enemy ever God Almighty bad on earth , bated aud hooted by his own people . Why should be not feel alarmed and

      grieved when he saw hit religion in such a statewhen he saw him pnt himself before the public lit a petition in which the public could not place any connd . iM In him ! ( Hear . ) He was grieved te fate heart that there should be any one in the body to which he belonged found willing te subject himself to such degradation . ( Cheers . ) Mr Smith O'Brien , as Mr Russell had stated , if a gentleman of the highest honour . ( Cheers and groans . ) The County Club stood to Mr O'Brien with sincerity aad fidelity , and even risked reproach to maintain him .

      SURREY . Remarkable Speech of H . prummond , Esq ., the candidate proposed by Charles Barclay , Esq ., and seconded by Col . Holme Sumner , and returned without opposition , at the election for the Western Division of the County of Surrey , held in the Townhall , Guildford , August 6 tb , 1817 : — Mr High-Sheriff , Gentlemen , and Electors ef West Surrey , I hold in my band a formidable packet of papers , bat be not afraid tbat I aball tre « pu * on your

      There Is Comparatively Little Of Novelty...

      time by going through them , I have merely brought them to prove , If required , that I have'in this hall , and ia print , ever toamtalneu those oentral principles which I shall state before you this day . Itis Bald I have altered my opinions ; let me ask , who is it whose opinions have not undergone some change ! Is it me ! Is it you or is there any man who bat never been induced in some degree te modify his views ! I teas born a Toryandlttwkto Toryism , tiU itbecame as dead at a door nail . ( A laugh , ) Dickens says , |' How dead a door nail ii he could not tell , ' but of this be was sure , < that it was very dead indeed . ' But not more dead than Toryism which it as dead as any door nail can be . ( Laughter . ) Tbe people will stand by it no longer . I was not insensible of the errors of those who marched under the

      name of Toryism , and of the evils that were caused by those errors ; and I wag one of the few who left that party in this county , and would not support the late Colonel Sumner upon the single question of reform . 1 considered seme reform was wanted , and I proposed Mr Briscoe as a representative , on those grounds . I said then , that there was an under current below the eddies which were bearing them along-which under current , if proper measures were not adopted , would carry both Whig and Tory away . ( Hear . ) Well 1 the names of Tory and Whig have been carried away by the undercurrent of popular opinion ; the people now will not bo convinced of a man ' s capacity to serve them by the adoption of one or the other of these terms . ( Hear . ) Ido no'fotow waot Toryism means , and I know « s litlk of Conservatism , ( A laugh . ) A Conservative is one who would keep what be has got ; now we all want to do that , in our own affairs . ( Laughter . ) Peel surely can .

      not be called a Conservative after what he has done ; and what shall we say of my Xord V ? harnclitte , who holds that Jeers ought not to be Judges . Then there ' s my Lord Stanley , who say » , that Bishops hare no bust , ness in the House of Lords , ( hear , and a laugh ;) and what is Liberalism . There is Macaulay , a Liberal , turned out of Edinburgh , to make room for another Liberal , who says he has a right to ask for any piece of land he likes , to build a Dissenting Place of Worship on , ( A laugh . ) Under all these circumstances it is abac lutely nonsense to expect that I can do my duty to my country , to you , and to myself , by adopting any party watchword . I must he allowed to follow an independent course . I must be independent of all snch worde as Whig or Tory , and regard prin-iple alone , WblgUm is as dead as Toryism , and there is now but one principle of carrying on the business of the country , now that those two forms have ceased . It has been settled that

      the privileged class should exist no more , as a superior class in the legislature . It has been determined that class legislation shall come to an end—in this determination I join . ( Loud cheers . ) Tou send me to P « rii » . meat iu this year of 1817 , and I must act differently to what I should have done , had 1 been elected in the year 1827 , because the principles upon which legislation should be based , are different now to what they then were . It i . as absolutely impossible to legislate upon the same principles in 1817 as in 1827 , as for tbe Carlists whewent back to France with Louis tbe IStb , to conduct the government of that country upon the tame principles upon which it was conducted before the Revolution . ( Cheers . ) There must now be perfect equality for all . You must not take the money from one sect to

      support the clergy of another sect . ( Loud cheering , ) As it regards the system of Free Trade , many things will have to be considered , it is impossible for that question to remain where it is at present ; we must not continue to tax the manufacture of malt , while the manufacture ef cotton remains untaxed ; we cannot be content with the little bit of Free Trade we have had given us , ( hear , hear , ) we will have tbe whole hog , not the small miserable pig we have now , ( Laughter . ) In this , as in other things , there must , I repeat , be perfect equality to all . Ho one els as shall domineer over another , or be domineered over by another . ( Loud cheers . ) Oentlemen , you have done wisely in not exacting pledget from your representatives , if you had required them I must bare declined giving them , not because I might be enabled to say to your inquiries ( when I come to give an account of my trust ) why did you do this !—why did you not do the other !—that I never bound myself , and considered my self perfectly free

      to do as I liked , but because I cannot understand where the common sense is of asking me what I shall do in cases where I am not acquainted with all the circumstances . ( Hear , hear . ) Put me to sea in command of a ship with her masts overboard , and with difficulty answering to her helm , and ask me what I should do ; I would tell you that I would keep her head to the wind , and out at sea as long as I possibly could , and failing this I would run her ashore in the best place I could , with the hopeof saving the lives of the crew . ( Hear , and cheers . ) If you ask me how I would fight a battle , I would tell yeu tbat it depended upon what sort of men I had under my command , the condition of their arms , and the nature of the ground where the battle is to he fought . ( Cheers . ) I can only therefore mark out the general course which I intend to pursue . I am neither unused nor disinclined to work , and in returning thanks for the honour you hare done me , I beg to assure you ; I will serve you to the best of my ability . ( Applause , )

Sr * , —The speech of Mr Drammond hat caused torn * little merriment here ( at Dorking ) amongst our Chartist friends ; for this reason—previous to the election he passed for a High Tory . As you will see , he was proposed by Charles Barclay , Esq ., a Tory of tht old school , and seconded by Col . Holme Sumner , another of the tame , and elected without opposition . After his election he rose to give them a specimen of his principles , ( see speech)—rumour says it made -Barclay and Co . bite their finger nails .

      AbKRDKIN . —SCPPBBIO CoiOnUORaTBIHE RETURN 05- Mb O'Connor as M . P . poit Nottingham . —The Charter Union of this city deeply sensible of the vast importance of this event , resolved to testify their heartfelt gratification , and a supper was accordingly held on Tuesday evening , August 10 th , in the Caledonian Hotel , Castle-street . The party was highly select , as it was almost entirely of a private nature ; between forty and My sat down to supper . It was indeed highly pleasing in itself to see such a number of real sterling Chartists , and their wives and children , seated at the table with such smiling faces , and when we remembered that it was to honour the man who had stood forward so nobly , and devoted all his best days to defend tho poorand theonnressed ,

      the scene was truly delightful . The supper was served up in excellent style , and did credit to Mrs Bain , the hostess . Mr Thomas Trotter occupied the chair , and Mr Wm . Largue ( Mr M'Fherson ' s seconder at the nomination ) was in the vice chair . After supper the first toast proposed by the chairman was ' The people , the only true and legitimate source of all nawer , ' which was responded to by three cheers and one cheer more . The next sentiment was 'Feargus O'Connor , Esq . M . P ., for Nottingham , ' which was drunk with all the honours . Mr James M'Pherson responded , and passed a high eulogium on MrlO'Connor . referred to

      the defeat of Macaulay at Edinburgh , and of Roeback and Hobhouse , said that Mr O'Connor would goto the House as the virtual representative of the whole unenfranchised people , and referred to the vast amount of property held by O'Connor as treasurer and father of the Land Company . 'Scots wha ha ' e wi' Wallace bled , ' was then sung by Mr R . Findlay . The chairman then gave out the next sentiment , ' The . Unsuccessful Candidates , —successful at the Hustings , bnt not returned to Parliament . ' Drank with all the honours . Mr Alex . Henry responded ia an eloquent address , referred to our local election , and the elections throughout the country . Mr M'Pherson returned thanks .

      ' The Exiled Patriots , —may they seon return to their native land . ' Responded to by Mr Archibald M'Donald , and drank with all the honours .

      Kettering ( NoRTHAM » r 6 N 8 HittB . ) -On Monday , morning - " a ^ number of handbills were posted about this tovfa , announcing that a lecture on the best means of reforming the representative system would be delivered on Tuesday evening , Aug . 17 H » , in the British School , by the Rev . Ww . Robinson ( the gentleman who seconded tbe nomination of Mr Joseph Sturge , to represent the northern division of Northampton . ) At the time appointed , Mr Robert Wallis , a member of the Society of Friends , was called to the chair . After reading the handbill he introduced Mr Robinson , who , on rising , was received with applause . He said that having heard that a weaver ( in this town ) and his vrife and family had lived on bread soaked in water , with a little

      salt to raise the five pounds to join Mr O'Connor ' s Land Company , he could not forget it night nor day , and feeling persuaded that nothing would be done for the people until they were better represented ; and if the working classes would make such sacrifices , it was tbe duty of every well-wisher of his fellow-man to do all in his power to assist him to obtain a vote . He thought a society might be formed , and monthly subscriptions made of from 4 s . to one pound per month to purchase freehold property in this district ; and if it was shown to the country that such a plan worked well , other places would join them , and many votes could be obtained before another election . He showed the

      good that would be derived by every man having a vote . He said he did not know much of Mr O'Connor ' s plan , but he thought the plan he had laid down was not so complicated , but could be much better carried out . A few words were spoken by two or three on behalf of Mr O'Connor ' s plan , but sufficient information could not be given . All seemed desirous to learn as much as they could upon it . The Rev . gentleman was heartily thanked for his lecture . Many questions have been asked in this town and vicinity about the Land Plan , and if one of the Directors , or some other public speaker could give a lecture on some Tuesday evening , I doubtnot but some of the middle , and many of the working , classes would join when they properly understood it .

      Laublev . —On Monday the 16 th of August , the Chartists of Lambley held a tea-party at the house of Mr Shacklock , sign of the Nag ' s Head , to celebrate the return of Messrs O'Connor and Walter for Nottingham . The large room was decorated with banners and evergreens , One hundred and ten sat down to tea , the management of which did credit to the host and hostess . Mr Charles Bridge , head constable and churchwarden , was called to the chair ; Mr Henry Plumb , secretary of this branch of the Land Company , to the vice-chair ; and when ample justice had been done to the good things of this life , the tables were cleared for dancing ; Songs , and recitations were kept up till a late hour , when all departed for home , highly delighted with the evening ' s entertainment .

      NawcAsiLB . —A public tea was held on Monday evening , at the house of Martin Jude , to celebrate the allottees taking possession of the Lowbands Estate . After tea , the assembly were gratified by listening to the eloquence of Thomas Dickenson , M . P . for the inhabitants of South Shields . Various patriotic songs , toasts , and speeches were given , in which Mr O'Connor , Ernest Jones , T . S . Duncomoe , Julian Harney , the Sttir , M'Grath , Clark , West , Kydd , and Roberts , were remembered ; and Frost , Williams , and Jones were notforgotten . The meetingwas prolonged to past the' wee short hour , ' and separated with a wish that such pleasant evenings would eome often .

      Rochdale . —A public meeting has been held for the purpose of adopting an Address to the People of Nottingham , for electing Mr O'Connor to the House of Commons . The meeting was addressed by Mr E . Mitchell , T , Lfvesey , Esq-, the Rev J , Wilkinson , and other talented speakers . Shspjikld . —At the weekly meetiag , on Sunday evening * of the members of the National Charter Association , on the . motion of Mr Foster , seconded by Mr Marchall , the following resolution was agreed tot-That the best thanks of this meeting be given to tbe electors and non-electors of Nottingham , for their praiseworthy patriotism iu returning the Feoplt ' t Leader , Mr O'Connor . On the motionof MrCavill , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : —

      That this meeting pledges itself to use all its influence towards raising a fund for the carrying out of one of the principles of the People ' s Charter namely , tbe payment of member * . Thanks having been voted to the chairman the meeting broke up . TO THE EDITOB OV THE XOBTBEXH STiS . Sii , —I would thank you If you would allow me to say a word or two in reference to our late election . What with tbe success of tbe brave men of Nottingham , and the almost successful attempts in other places , the Chartists , have cause to be proud indeed ; for come the elections when they may again , Mr Clark ' s return for Sheffield , ! , past all doubt . It is certain . This is not my opinion only , but the general opinion in Sheffield , T he

      night previous to the election , I , and two others , registered near upon a thousand bona fide votes , as promises ; but " * me wanted to be fetched to the yjlliug booth * in cabs ; aud that we could not do , not having tbe means ; and others , more ignorant , thought tbey had voted quite sufficient , tbat we should see that their votes were duly handed to tbe proper partial , by proxy , I presume . As regards fetching voters who are able to walk , we look upon it as bribery . We have had popular men in Sheffield before , but never one more popular than Mr Clark . Those who witnessed the procession wnich escorted him out of the town , can bear testimony to this

      We were in full anticipation of receiving support from the body of Quakers , from the interest they appeared to manifest on the day of election , but we were disappointed . We must stand by the good old adage , 'God helps them , who help themselves . ' Tbe whole affair has cost £ 60 ; and in spite of what we have raised , with and Central Committee bare done , and they have done nobly , weave about twenty pounds in debt . Active step * , I hare no doubt , will be taken by the committee to rails tbe means and , doubt not that tbe people of Sheffield will come boldly forward , and lend us a helping hand . I remain , yours truly , on behalf of the committee , GE 0 B 6 B Caviia .

      of whom was proposed , and on being put to the meeting , was unanimously carried . The secretary reported | that 500 copies of Mr J . Harney ' s speech , had come to hand . Mr Harney also had contributed a number of books towards the formation of a Working Man ' s Library for the . operatives of Tiverton . The meeting expressed sincere thanks to Mr ] Harney . To carry out the projected library , it was proposed that every member should add a volume to it . The hearts and souls of the working men here seem so be so full of the Charter , that anything they can do will not be left undone , to aid the great cause .

      CORlf , & c . " ~ REYIEW OF THE WBEK . Wo have again to report a very moderate arrival of English wheat into London , the quantity received coast , wise during the week ending Saturday night havine amounted te only 1 , 434 qrs . The show » t Mark-laM by land-carriage samples from the neighbouring counties has been equally small ; and cautious as the millers hMe been throughout the week in conducting their operations , most of what has been brought forward has been . old . On Wednesday the tone of the trade was decidedly firm ; and though no one was disposed to buy a bushel more than absolutely necessary for immediate use , previous pricesTre well supported . Since then hardly a sample nasbeenexhibited , andthe operations on Friday were en a still more restricted scale than before , leaving quota . the beginning

      tions in much the same position asm ' 0 f he week . The arrivals of wheat from abroad have amounted to . 66 , 197 qrs . ; this large quant . ty , added to Xtwas ^ a verv nmnle choice of samples . Several buyers from % * S & $ X of the country have aUended the rnarket : they have , however , acted with great circumspection , and the total quantity purchased ha \ been ^ ° lffi 5 " B aR Vl t ; f •» point of price hardly any change has taken place , but oa the whole the thru has been rather agamst the seller ; v 8 s per qr . is now an extreme quotation for h ^ h-imxed Dantzic , and some of the inferior sortsof redn * eathave been freely offered at 50 s per qr . The enormous fall which . hastoken place in the value of wheat since June has involved many of the most respectable London firms to an extent rendering it necessary to suspend payments . —Mark-lane Express

      . Ths Weathee Ann the Caor-B . -The present season has hitherto been fraught with excitement and enanges . to the agriculturist . The serious apprehensions arisingfrom the high prices to which corn had attained somefew months ago were greatly increased by ^ e gloomyjore bodings as to the present harvest , every one agreeing that a verflate one was inevitable ; but the extraordinary alterations produced by the very fine weather of the month of July in every description of growing corn is almost magical . Peas , oats , barley and wheat have all rioened at once , and fields of grain which were thre * weeks ago quHegrecn , have now either fallen before the sickle , or are " whiteunto harvest . " Opinions vary as to the probable produce of the wheat crop . On stout heat growine lands there is more on tho pound than on the lighter soils , but it is generally expected that the ha

      new samples will be of a superior quality . Reaping » now ueneraUy commenced , and is progressing rapidly . Many fields arc infected with red gum , and 1 other blight , the usual prevalence of which has nearly destroyed thebeans ; the earliest sown have escaped best , but the Ioss = in this crop will be very great . The crop of peas and , barley are most abundant . Oats , generally , are not so good , and are short in the straw , but in the north of thfr county they ara a better crop than usual There is no longer any doubt as to the re . appcarance ef the mysterious potato disease , but at present to no extent comparable with the destructive visitation from tbe same cause last year . Tho attack at present is most observable amongst the earlier kinds , — the kidney potatoes suffer most . Tbe turnips have had much to contend with , and to such an extent as to create serious fears as to the ultimate result— Staffobdshibb Advsbtisbb .

      STATE OF TRADE , Leeds . —Rather more geods changed hands at our cloth halls , both on Saturday and on Tuesday , than for some weeks previous , but principally goods of low quality for tho winter demand ; fine qualities continue dull ; prices without alteration ; and tho stocks on hand aro less than usual to meet the winter demand . Manchester—Tho depression continues , and , on tho whole , wo are in a worse position than last week . In addition to tho mills already standing , five or six mills have given in notice to close altogether next week , and two of tho largest houses in tho neighbourhood of Preston ( who have never before worked short time ) hare given notice to their hands that tbey will only work three days per week . BBADKoitn . —There is a littlo more doing in the yam trade both for home and abroad , but we can report no alteration nor amendment in prices . For fancy pieces there is a fair demand , as also for Orleans and Paramattas . There has been , however , on the whole , a slack and unpromising market .

      Halifax .-There is no improvement in the piece and yarn markets , and the hope of immediate revival ia checked by the untoward state of our money markets HunDEtts « EU ) . -Very little business was transacted in the market to-day , but a great quantity of goods were delivered to the merchants , which had been made to order .

      Qlascow , —Tho cbUon market , s ' meo Friday , has continued dull . Cotton Yarn : Wo have no chaugo ( 0 report this week , but the tendency on low numbers is rather downward .
