STJXDKRLAWD . —On SEfilay afternoon , Mr . Binns lectured at the Life Boat House , to an unusually large aadienee . Us gave an interesting report of his mission to . York , and introduced Borne humourous incidents that occurred to hia on his journey . Whe » at Durham , waiting the amval of tbo eoicb to take him on to Darliflfftcn , ke observed a gentleman with a whit e hat , who appeared uncommonly anxioiB to get a seat . On being told that the Whigs were now oat , and the Tories fairly in , he heard Mm « xslaiin by Gr-dthia will surely rouse the country . " Mr . pinna tbea « t the owner ot the white hat down for a Com Lanr humbug lecturer . Mr . Bians learned a ^ enrards , that the supposed lecturers . observiBf bin , had Maduded he was some attorney ' s clerk , ox draper ' s shop boy . The ooach arrived , and sher * were so seats for either . Mr . Binns then immediately engaged * gig T and left the Com Law lecturer chagrined at his disippointmeni . Ha arrived in Darlutgtoa oa Stmday after * noon , and next morning on arriving at the railway station , behold there was the gentleman with the white hat again . They got into the same carriage together and proceeded to York , on ^ arriving there he lost sight of ium ; he Mr . Binn » : pxo » e 6 ed to the room when the delegates assembled , and to his astonishment , when he arrived , there was the gentleman , with the white hat , again ! A carpet bag
was standing by nis side , ill . Bums looked at it , and found by the direction upon it , that the owner of the hat was " Mr . Arthur , of Carlisle . " He then accosted him , and each enjoyed a hearty laugh ai the false impressions wnich they had formed of each other . Through this false impression , Mr . Arthur had te trudge his weary way on foot , nearly twentj miles from Durham to Darlington , while he , llr . Binns , was at the erpenoe or a -gig , and had . a solitary journey . In addition to Mr . Arthur ' s walk to York , he had a walk of fourteen miles the same morning from Newcastle , haTing been disappointed there of a seat to Durham .
Progress oi Chastisx . —The caose goes noblj on in Sunderland . Chartism is now becoming popular even amongst the middle classes , and many of 4 hos < who before were most bitter in their hostility , hav « now become warn and attached friends . Kot long ago it would have been impossible for the Chartist ! to have procured the nse of the Arcade room , noM it is not only at their service whenever the ^ require is , but the eoEncil have been enabled u engage this splendid room for weekly meetings to be held every Tuesday evening . The first of these is w be held on Tuesday next , when a lecture on the power and prospect of the democracy will be delivered by Mr . Williams . Singing of patriotic hymns is intended to be introduced , and a number of young
men have volunteered their Bervieea for the purpoae The council of the Charter Association have also engaged a jioeroom in Bridge-street , for the purpose of converting it partly into an adult school-room , when reading and writing will be taught two eve « - ings each week , gratuitously . The other evenings , and throughout each day it is to be open as a Conrention room to all the members of the Charter Association . This has long been a desideratum ,, and we anticipate much good from it . It is well worthy the attention of Chartist Teetotallers , and we hope all Chartists are , or will soon be , Teetotallers . The
public-house is not a fitting place of rendezTous for political Reformers ; they should meet where they can enjoy the feast of reason and the now of soul unaccompanied by those debasing and ruincua associations necessarily connected with driink&rd manufactories . This room will provide such a place , and , independent of its indirect tendency to weaken the attractions connected with public houses , it will do a fast amount of positive good by affording facilities for the cultivation and enjoyment of those social sympathies which tend so powerfully to cement man to man , and make us brethren by kindred feeling as well as by common principles .
TTESDAT EVESIKG , BSPTBXBRB 7 TH- —W « hSV » Just ccndnded a splendid and most enthusiastic meeting , held is the Arcade Room . The room waa densely ffo-wded , and tbe stairs and passages leading to it were aUo thronged by numbers who were unable to gain admittance to the room . The object of the meeting was to promote Q » enrolment of the people in fcha N&don&l Charter Association , and if -we were to take the spirit shown last night , and the numbers who enrolled , as materials for conjecturing , we should anticipate a glorioom society . Mr . J . Q . Elrker , wai unanimously called to the ebair ; having introduced the business , he called apon Mr . George Binm to move the 1 st resolution , which was as follows : — " That the present condition tit this country , it * ftrrvHriM emoluments , commercial
-depression , decaying trade , and Increasing misery , imperatively ealls for the immediate and united efforts of all classes , but especially the middle and working 4 asse 5 , to rescue it from the plunder &nd misrule of poHtJcal factions , by securing , through the People ' s Charter , tbe ascendancy of the people ' s Interest , Ln the Commons House of Parliament . " Mr . Bragg , in a brief , sensible , and appropriate address , seconded the resolution , which \ m carried unanimously . Mr . Bobbie , in sa impressive aod useful speech , moved the next resolution : — " That the principles , objects , and constitution of the National Charter Association , is veil fitted V > combine together the friends of freedom , and to concentrate their energim against tiw common foe , and therefore this meeting resolves to support that
Association to the utmost of Its power . " Mr . Williams seconded it in a long and able address , ¦ when it was put , and carried unanimously . Messrs . Tiyloi and Richmond { the latter a recent and valuable convert to tbe cause ) moved and seconded the following resolution , in addresses which did them great credit : — " That tbe thanks of this meeting are due , and are hereby rendered , to Shaman Crawford , Esq ., and those Member * of Parliament who supported him in his attempt to bring befere the House of Commons the condition , wrongs , and claims , of the people ; and this meeting also denounces the conduct of Messrs . Boebuck , Ward , and others , who , professing sympathy for the
people , left the new Member for Btchdale unsupported on that occasion . * This was carried amidst great cheeriEg . Three eheea were then given for O ' Connor , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones , 4 c , &c , and the Chairman announced that names of persons disposed to join would bow t » received . A great number then came forward and enrolled themselves . It m announced that the Council had engaged a room in Bridge-street , behind Ihe Co-operative Store , which would be open as a place ot rendezvous to the members of the Charter Association , and also for conversation and reading . On two evenings in the week , it was intended to have aa adult Bchool in it for instructing , graturtouslj , members is reading , writing , 4 c .

The herculean j task of uniting an industrious people in the cause of '

After tea Wii ; concluded , Jlr . Samuel Robinson was called to the j chair , who observed , that it was time for the people toj be up and doing , for their oppressors "were gi indicg i them to the earth with unjust lavs . The Queen , Lc j aid , was supported , not by the affections of the people , i but by force and fraud of the Court , and would be the ! case so long as monopoly of making Iaw 3 existed . — : Several excellent toasts -were given , and the evening was spent in the greatest hilarity .

" The-resolution was carried unanimously , and after giving three cheers for the lecturer , and three times three for that nobla champion Mr . Feargus O'Connor , the meeting broke up , well satisfied with the evening ' s proceedings . :
ROXiBROOa was visited by Mr . Dean Taylor who delivered athrillin /? lecture upon the Hural Police , who are about to be introduced into that place . The moon shone beautifully on the assembled multitude . ¦ ¦• . SWANWXCK . —A . lecture was delivered here by Mr . Taylor . AUPRJETON . —Mr . Taylor lectured here on Friday evening , bat was compelled to desist on account of the rain . A sermon was also preached here on Sue day afternoon , in the Market-place , which made great impression upon all present . A liberal collection wag made .
SOUTH WINGFIEU ) was visited without much prospeot of success , but the way was paved for an opening in Crich , by Mr . Dean Taylor . BEXPKR . —Mr . Dean Taylor preached a sermon here upon politics and religion , to an audience of about 2 , 000 people , when a collection waa made of 12 s , Id . The most profound attention was paid throughout , and it is producing wonderful effects in tbe minds of the people ia favour of the Charter . Lecture . —On Monday , Mr . Dean Taylor delivered a truly spirited lecture at Belper , to a very large assembly . A liberal oollection was made to assist in defraying the expenses of the delegates to York .
DUF 7 IELD . —A lecture was delivered here on Tuesday evening , to a nnmerous meeting , by Sir . Dean Taylor , and while he was describing the way in which the land became private property , and how the peers and parsons had become possessed of theirs , he was Btrangely in terra pted by a respectable , of the name of Barber , who was astonished how Mr . T . could stand there talking in that way . TODIffORDEN . —Saturday last was the day appointed to receive Dr . M'Donall into the Vale of Todmorden . When the train arrived there were betwen two and three thousand persons assembled , all anxious to get a sight of th , e glorious champion of the people ' s rights ; but owing to the train from Liverpool being half-an-hour longer in coming than it should have been , ha was too late tor the train , and the people were disappointed . At a later hour the Doctor arrived , and at the request of the party , though it was nearly midnight , he addressed them
for about fifteen minutes in excellent style . The whole time he was speaking , persons kept coining in so that at last there was a goodly number present . On Sunday , the Doctor delivered a most animating lecture to nearly three thousand persons on Lang-Seld Common , and such was the anxiety to hear tint all was as silent as death . There were many gentlemen on norseback on the outskirts of the meeting , and the constables of the township and two policemen were in attendance , but there was nothing for them to do . In the afternoon , about two hundred persons accompanied the Doctor to Hebden Bridge , where he had" been invited to attend , and he delivered two lectures , one at Hebden Bridge , and the other at Heptonstall , about a mile above the former place . The weekly meeting of the Chartists took place as usual , on Monday night , when there were eighteen new members enrolled , and it was resolved to take a fresh room in Todmorden , on account of the pre sent one being too sma ll , md not in the eentre of the village .
Leicester . —The onward movement ha 3 begun in earnest . From Saturday morning to Monday evening Ia 3 t , fifty new members received card .-i , aud were entered on the books . A deepening and widely extending fe « ling has been for some time very apparent , under the Sunday night ' s discourses in the Market-place . The broad truths delivered there have been taken to men ' s homes , and to the workshops , conviction has arisen from discassion , and so entirely and heartily have working men becom * penetrated with confidence in Chartism , as a moral and political remedy for their sufferings , that there needed but some accidental spark to set their resolution in a flame . The Budden release of oar beloved O'Connor operated aa that spark . From the day of
his liberation , working men in every quarter were heard Baying they had made up their minds to join the Chartists , and should only wait till the close of the week before they put their decision into practice . It is believed that the influx of new members , ju » t described , is but a foretaste of what is to come . Every meeting is crowded with eager hearers . The attendance on Mr . Cooper ' s political sermon , in the the Market-place , on Sunday evening , was more numerous than ever ; and on Monday night , the ancient and spacious Guildha ll , was filled to excess , almost entirely by working men , who listened with every evidence of intelligent and admiring attention to a repetition of the lecture on " geology , and the advantages of a knowledge of science to working men . "
TO KEEP VT THE GLOBIOCS EXCITEKEJTI , MeSSrB . Smart , Markham , and Cooper , on Tuesday night , visited a district of the town which has long been considered least favourable to Chartism . They each addressed a crowd ia the open air for several minutes , and , at the close of the meeting , eight additional new mejnbers walked down to Mr . Cooper ' s shop and received cards , after enrolling their names . —Hurrah for old Leicester ! NEWCASTLE— The Demonstration Committee met on Sunday for business , Mr . Morgan in the chair , when it was resolved that Mr . Sinclair bo appointed Secretary to the O'Brien and O'Connor Demonstration Committee , and Mr . Crathers , Treasurer for the same ; that a public demonstration be

O'Connor and O'Briec , in Newcastle ; to be heid on a Monday , tbe better to mtet the convenience of a majority of the working classes ; and that the Secretary be instructed to coTT- ^ pond with Messrs .

NOTTINGHAM—On Saturday evening last , Mr . Bairstow lectured in the Lrrge Room , George oa Horse Back , to a highly satisfied audience , during which he clearly traced the origin of the present enormous amount of misery in society , and ur-jve-. . that no measure short of the whole of the Pcope' 5 C ' r . aner , could remove the evil .

Fhost , Williams , and Jones . 'The General Committee of Birmingham for securing the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , nothing daunted m their noble efforts to obtain justice , continue to hold their weekly meetings at the Association-room in Freeman-street . Having pledged themselves not to dissolve as a committee until the return of the exiled patriots , they are now so far from altering that resolution , that every day ' s occurrenoes teach them to doable their efforts , and nothing but success can crown their endeavours . Read the cold formal official answer ef the Home Office , after a months ' waiting , to a memorial bo respectfully worded , and containing so many flattering compliments to the Noble Marquis , that some of the committee were of opinion it would degrade them as patriots to allow
tbe same to be printed . Let any one with » ray of reason , or a spark of humanity , within their brcast , read this correspondence , and he will be convinced that much remains to be done , ere these would-bethought noblemen will be brought to throw aside their prejudices with regard to Frost , Williams , and Jones ; but the Committee trust to accomplish their object by perseverance .

I have been desired by the Executive to notice this , and trust it will be duly attended to . Yours , in the cause , P . M . M'Douall .

JULIAN HAKXRY TO THE CHARTISTS OF SHEFFIELD AND ITS VICINITY . Mt Friends , —The day is rapidly coming when the chief of the people ' s choice , O'Connor , will once more visit your town , and again will hia lion-voice be heard in yc . ur streets , pealing the death-knell of tyranny , and awakening the inasaea from their apathetic sleep of slavery . Men of Sheffield , I appeal to you to do yonr dutythe lying factions have said that Chartism was dead in Sheffield—if tbe giant hath ever slept the sleep of death , prove on the day of O'Connor ' s coming , that that sleep was only the precursor of a glorious resurrection . My friends , I am earnestly desirous of rendering myself useful to the cause in which I am engaged . I am most anxious t « see the National Association not only flourishing in our cities and towns , but I fervently wish to set ) that glorious combination extended to out villages .
A stranger in Sheffield , I have as yet no acquaintance with it * neighbourhood ; as such , I take this conrse to announce , that I am desirous of holding meetings in the following Tillages -. — Atteroliffe , Dirnall , Ecclesfleld , Handsworth , Grimesthorpe , Heeley , Stannington , Wadsley , Dronfield , and Crookes . I shall also be happy to hold district meetings in Sheffield , if I can have the kelp of my Chartist brethren . If tbe readers of the Stmr , in the above-named places , will make arrangements with me for the calling of meetings , they will oblige the writer of this , and , it is to be hoped , materially serve the good cause .
, I observe , in a letter from the unfortunate but gallant Samuel Holberry , addressed t . ; ' At . William Martin , of Br&mpton , published is > l ^ t ti % vau \ a } 'a Star , an appeal to me that I wuuUl «« rve tJ . o wptive . For the satisfaction of Mr . Martin , an'i "ther tr ¦ . y . i .

Huit Corn Ma * knt , TutspAT , Sept . 7 th . —With the exception of Wednesday arid Thursday in last week , the weather has been broken and unsettled . On Friday night and Saturday morning the rain wu heavy and incessant , acbompanied with Violent wfaid . This qh / atge In the weather will so much affect the condition of new Wheat , as to render a large portion of old Wheat necessary before it can be used by tha miller 3 . Bonded Wheat has consequently been more enquired for—ai : d on the sales passing on and sinco Saturday , full prices have been paid , while many holders have withdrawn their sampled to await the event of the duty arriving at its lowest point , which is expected to be on the 16 th instant . Harvest is progressing rapidly , and the farmers report that considerably more than half the crop of Wheat is cut round this neighbourhood , and a good deal Becured , but there has not yet been . a sufficient
delivery to speaic decidedly of quality or yield . Spring corn is offering very sparingly , and no alteration in valae can be noted . But little passing ia Rapeseed or Linseed , and prices unaltered . Rape and Linseed cake continue in good demand , and fully support prices . Bones meet buyers at late quotations . For to-day ' B market there is a very limited show of new Wheat , farmers being busily employed with harvest , all more or less wanting condition , the be 3 t of which briugs 60 s . and 64 s . per quarter . Our millers have still to purchase south Wheat and at high prices , the stock being exhausted of thifl neighbourhood ' s growth . Bond « dWhe&tis held to-day at Is . to 2 s . per quarter higher prices thau last Tuesday , bat there is not much business doing . Beans and Peas fully support prices . Oats are dull , and when . sales are made less money is submitted to . In Barley nothing doing . The weather to-day is favourable for harvest work .
Richmonb Cobn Market , Sept . 4 th . —There waa a very thin supply of Grain in our market to-day The samples of new Wheat were . very soft . Wheat sold from 10 s . to lla . 6 d . ; new Wheat 7 s . 6 d . to Sa . ; Oats 33 . 4 d . to 4 s . ; aew Oats 2 a . lOd . to 3 s . ; Barley 43 . 9 d . to 5 a . 3 d . ; Beaus 5 s . 6 d . to 6 s . per bushel . Manchester Corn Mabket , Saturday , Sep . 4 th . —Until Friday morning the weather continued fine throughout the week , since which we have had some heavy rains . Our advices from the agricultural counties of England note considerable progress ia the eorn harvest ; and the late fine weather has materially improved the appearance of the crops ia Ireland . The business of the week has been confined to a few sales of Flour and Oatmeal for
immediate consumption , and former prices were not supported . There are again large supplies of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland . Of Foreign Wheat tha imports comprise 19 , 631 quarters , in addition to 1 , 700 quarters of Wheat , and 10 , 604 barrels of Flour from Canada . The duty on Foreign Wheat is now 6 s . 8 d . per quarter , and on Flour 4 s . per barrel . At our market this morning there was less disposition to press sal . oa of Wheat , but we must note a decline of Id , to 2 d . per 70 Jbs . on our previous quotations . Choice qualities of English Flour were in moderate request at Is . to 2 # . per 2801 bs . below the rates of this day se ' nnight ; and for anything perfectly sweet in Canadia Flonr there was some inquiry at a reduction of fully 13 . per barrel . The demand for Oats
and old Oatmeal was extremely limited , at a reduction of 2 a . per bushel and Is . per load ; new Irish Oatmeal was retailed at 31 s . to 32 * . per 24 « lbs . No change in the value of Malt or Beans . Liverpool Coum Market , Mondat , Sept . 6 . — Since this ( Jay se ' nnight we have received upwards of 7706 qiarters of Oats , and 4403 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland , but the arrivals of other descriptions of Grain , as well aa Flour , either thence or coastwise , have been small . From Canada we have had 1700 quarters of Wheat , 7 « 78 barrels of Flour , and 389 barrels of Oatmeal . The imports from foreign states include 19 , 948 quarters ot Wheat . 500 quarters of Barley ,. 4711 quarters of Beans , and 1671 quarters of Peas . Up to Thursday night the weather continued favourable for harvest operations , and the Grain trade , generally , ruled dull , prices of free Wheat receding 41 to 6 d per bushel below our last quotations . Since then we have attain had heaw
and almost incessant rain , which hag given renewed confidence to holders of Wheat and Flour in bond : a few parcels of the former have been sold at a email advance on the rates of Tuesday . The millers and dealers ( waiting the result of tbo approaching release of foreign ) have still bought sparingly of free Wheat , which has barely supported its previous value . Best sweet brands of Canadian Flour have met a moderate demand at 36 s to 36 s 6 d per barrel . In the early part of the week both Oats and Oatmeal suffered a further depression ; good mealing qualities of the former offering at 33 to 3 s Id per 451 bs ; Oafmeal at 25 s to 25 s Sd per 24 ftlbs ; at th ,: so rates the latter article has sold rather more freel y , and Oats have been held somewhat more firmly . Little passing in either , Bwley , Beans , or Peas . The present duties on foreign produce are 6 s 8 d per quarter on Wheat , 9 s 4 d per quarter on Barley , 12 s 3 d on Oats , 16 s 6 i on Rye , 8 ? . on Beans , 3 s 6 d on Peas , aud 4 a per barrel of Flour .
Liverpool Cattle Market , Mondat , Sept . 6 . — There has been a good supply of Sheep aad Lambs at market to-day , with a fair demand for prime . Inferior met with a dull sale at last week ' s prices . The best Beef sold at 6 Jd ., varying from that down to 5 d . Wether Mutton may be quoted at 6 . } d ., second ditta 6 d ., ordinary and Ewm from o ^ d . down to 5 d ., and Lambs from 5 ^ d . to 6 ^ d . per ib ., sinking tho offal . A few Beasvs , a . 3 well as Sheep and Lambs , were left unsold at tho close . Number of Cattle at market : —Beasts , 1 , 255 ; Sheep a , ul Lambs , 6 , 959 .
London Smithfield Market , Monday . —Tho receipts of ^ beasts up to this morning ' s market from our grazing districts were , on tke whole , moderate , both aa to number aud quality ; owing to which , the more favourable state of the weather for slaughtering , and to most of the dealers wishing to get their stock out as speedily as possible , and the confusion attendant on the holding of the fair , the beef trade was on the whole brisk , aad the improvemen : of 2 d . per 8 'b noted in the currienoiea on Friday was well supported . From Scotland scarcely any fresh beasts or sheep camo to haud . The numbers of sheep were tolerably good ^ whilo iac mutton trade was firm , and the beat old Downs readily produced O * . per 81 b . Lambs moved off briskly at a rise rf 2 d per Ulb ., and n good clearance of them was effected . The veal trade was brisk at an advauca of 41 . per 8 ib . In pigs a considerable amount of business was passing at the quotations .
Londixn Corn Excha . vgk , Mo ^ oav , Sept . 6 . — Only a moderate q \ . atity of Wheat w . w on bale this morning from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , aud the supply of Barley , Beans , and Peas from these counties was very trifling , with , a lair fresh supply of Oats , them being a few caiv ;>~ >< I ' rora Ireland , aud our own coast . The import * ' . ; foreign Grain have been large since this dav se ' nnight . On Friday and Saturday there was :.. heavy fall * of rain , yesterday for a ahort duration , and this morning is very cold , with au unsettled appearance . Owing to the recent state of the weather the market has assumei a firmer appeaxunca for all old Wheat , but the bonded being so near the day of . liberation , our millciB turned their atieation more to ih ; o than to old
English , and a , fair extent or" business waa transacted thtrein at fully the ra ?< > of this day se'enight , and the drier samples of i . e-. v English were taken without any material variation in value ; but a great proportion being damp and inferior , such was very duil , and must be quoced again Is . to 2 i . per quarter lower . Flour was without ai '' r ? . tion iu value . Barley commanded full as muca money . Beaus « ero in fair request , and quite as dear . White ana grey Peas were taken off slowly , tha finer qualities realising last week ' s currencies ; inferior sorts were rattwr cheaper , whilst blue imperials brin ;; high prices . MaU waa in fair i ..-quest , and quite as dear . Thero was a moderate demand for Oats , the best fresh samples bringing last Monday ' s prices .
