      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERK STAR . Sir , —The Chartist public generally , and the united Chartists , ( which all men should be , ) ought to be fully alive to the necessity of the establishment of a General Victim Fund , for the defence and general assistance of the viotims , now under arrest , ( or that may be arrested for political offences , ) their wives and families . This fund should be risen by the General Conncil ofthe National Charter Association , by whom collectors sheuld be appointed ; or by the members in assembly , who should be furnished with collecting book 3 or sheets , duly signed by the subsecretary or sub 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 lor the

      collection ofthe weekly contributions ofthe members . The evident determination of the factions press , parsons , magistrates , jurors , and judges , to victimize the noblest spirits of our order ; to pour down their own , and the malignant vengeance of the direful acts that ignorant , prejudiced , selfish , class-legislators have dignified with the name of law , upon the wretched starving victims ; to carry ont other such enactments as disgrace the statute book of modern legislation , as witness the 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 thej did not starve and die as have many others

      of our Christian brethren;—These wicked acts of the factions , 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 of despotic acts and power , * it hath not ended its work of persecution and proscription ; be prepared therefore , to meet the fell power 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 iB based our noble cause , we shall , we must succeed . Hoping my fellowbondsmen will pay strict attention to the plan suggested , and my few observations , which I trust are to the point , I remain , faithfully yours , S . J , Bristol .

      Dreadful Shipwrecks off Ramsgate . —Seventeen Lives Lcsr . —On Snnday morning last , at an early honr , the town of Ramsgate was thrown into a state of the most painful excitement on account of two large vessels being wrecked on the Goodwin Sand ? , during the storm which raged furiously the whole night from the south-west , unequalled in violence since the hurricane in November last . Directly upon , the wreck being observed from the shore , which was not till near nine o ' clock , a party of the Coast Gnard service , under the direction of the lieutenant of the Ramsgate 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 humane 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 should 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 by 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 saved 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 running 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 , noon the Coast Guard reaching it , was discovered to be that of a barque , nearly of the same size , named the Nancy ; 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 beiag 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 valaed at £ 3 , 099 . Daring the morning , and whilBt the storm was at its height , his Belgian Majesty ' s man-of-war , the Comte de Fianderes , 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 con-Eternation on board amongst her numerous crew was , as may be supposed , excessively great . After cutting away the formast , and otherwise lightening the ship , she floated off , and was subsequently brought to an anchor in the roads . About three o ' clock in

      the morning , the Royal George , Margate Bteamer , came down to her assistance , and the captain offered to tow the ship into Ramsgata harbour . The offer was , however , refused . On Sunday afternoon , upon the storm somewhat abating , she was got under weigh , aad reached Ram ? gate in the course of the evening , where she still remains to repair damages . The Royal George steamer afterwards saw 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 beco » e wrecks . Since then several other vessels have feeen 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 tie coast , it is much feared , will

      contain an account of fearful destruction of life and property in all qcarters . The Ppice of Bread . —The . government during the past week have ordered to be carried into effect a n « v 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 hae been appointed by which it will be enabled to correctly ascertain tfce relative price which bread bears to the price of Wher t in every part of the kingdom . The following i 3 a copy of a circular which has been addressed to the Beveraleorn-inspectors . u Corn-office , October 15 , 1842 . Sir—Please to send with your next cora returns the price of the quartern-loat , or the . four- poand loaf , as the ease may be , of fine floor , during the week to which the return refers . —I am , sir , your obedient , ( Signed ) E . J . Lack . To the Inspector of Corn-returns at—— . "

      - Firs os the Lancaster and Preston Railway —Ob Wednesday evening , about half-past fire o ' clock , the mail train left Lancaster , but had not proceeded far before a strong smell of fire was observed by the passengers , which eventually turned ont to arise from the luggage on the roof of one of the carriage ! being on fire , a spark from the engine , it is supposed , having ignited it . The fire communicated to the carriage itself , and the latter toon became one mass of flame . The train waa stopped as quietly as possible , and the passengers in the carriage on which the fire originated were extricated , but almost ail the luggage was consumed , and the carriage burnt very extensively , before ibe fire was subdued .

BBADFOBD . —On Tuesday evening , the sons of Crispin held their anniversary at the house of Mr . Ellis , Boy and Barrel , Westgate .

Smyth distributed a number of tracts of " What is a Ckartist 1 " Several professional singers entertained the company to a late hour . The whole reflected high praise on Mr . Ellis , the worthy landlord .

      Found Dead . —On Friday , a tailor , named Thomas Smith , of Thornton , was found , by a person travelling on the road in that township , laid upon his side , and apparently dead ; he tried to arouse him , bat he only sobbed twice , and then expired . An inquest was held the same evening before G . Dyson , Esq . and a verdict of " Died through exposure to the weather , " was returned , he having no marks of violence upon him . On Friday last , a waggoner in the employ of Mr . Butterworth , Keigbley , was returning home from Bradford market with his team , and on arriving at Cottingly Bridge , he appears to have fallen , as he was found laid upon the road quite dead , the wheel having passed over his head .

Each individual has deposited thirty-five shillings as stock , and the sales made in their wareroom for the last year amount to seven thousand pounds .

      LEEDS . —Thief and Receiver . —On Tuesday last , a mechanic named John Holmes , who has been for some time in the employ of Messrs . Horner , Dockray , and Co ., machine makers , in Meadow-lane , was brought up at the Court House , on a charge of having stolen a quantity of working tools , materials , &c , the property of his employers . The prosecutors have of late missed considerable property from their premises , without being able to trace how it went , but not without some suspicion attaching to the prisoner . Ou Monday , he was seen to knock the handles off two files , and to secrete the latter in a place convenient for carrying away ; in this , however , he did not succeed , in consequence of being closely watched , but so strange was his conduct , that policeman Thompson was sent for , and he was given

      into custody . On Mr . Horner appearing at the police ofBoe , he was shown a very large quantity of brass and iron materials , which had been taken by the police from Robert Wilkinson , a wholesale dealer in rags , &o ., in the Call ? , who stated that he had bought them at different times , but did not know from whom—a man with a velvet jacket was the best description he could give . The whole , or nearly the whole of this property , was identified by Mr . Horner as the pioperty of himself and partners , and which had been stolen from their premises . Wilkinson , when shown the prisoner , could not say whether it was he that he bought the property of or not ; the magistrates , therefore , ordered him into custody , and the charge of" receiving" was preferred againBthim . Both prisoners were committed for trial at the sessions this week .

      Stealing Lead . —On Monday last , four young lads , who could scarcely be seen above the side of the dock , were brought up at the Court House , on a charge of having stolen a quantity of lead , from a spout on the premises of Mr . Wilson , in School Close . The charge was pretty clear against them all , and with the consent of their parents , they were flogged and discharged . Their names are George Day , Samuel Colley , Henry Colley , and Henry Dosvess . Stealing a Cap . —On Saturday last , one of the

      numerous tribe of juvenile thieves , with which the town is infested , was brought ap at the Conr ' House , on a charge of having stolen a cloth cap , the property of Mr . Potter , in Kirkgate . He was taken by a policeman , with the cap in his breast , and which he said he had bought of another boy for ninepence , but it would not fit him at all , nor did his story bear any marks of probability about it , as it had only been stolen a short time , and he was apprehended not far from Mr . Potter ' s shop . He was sent to Wakefield for a month .

      Embezzling Money "—On Tuesday last , a young man named Edward Rinder , was charged before the borough magistrates , with Laving embezzled a sum of £ 2 10 a ., the property of Mr . Renton , a farmer and milk man , of Meanwood . The offence was committed in the month of January , 1841 , at which time the prisoner was in Mr . Renton ' s employ , and went round to his customers with milk . The money was paid to him in one sum , by Mrs . Ripley , wife of Mr . John Ripley , one of the masters of the free grammar school , to whom he represented that he had been seat by his master to receive the Eame ; and , after having obtained it , he absconded , and had not sin ; e been heard of . The magistrates committed the prisoner for trial at the next sessions .

      Charge of Pocket Picking . —On Saturday last , two lads named Thomas Reynard and Thomas Brewer , were brought up at the Court House on a charge of having abstracted a sum of money from the pocket of Mr . Brown . Brown stated , that on Friday evening , he was standing in the street talking with another man , when two lads passed him , and one of them , the prisoner Reynard , ran against him as if by accident , but he directly missed his money ; he could not swear that Brewer was the othr lad , though he waa sure as to the identity of Reynard : nor could it be proved by any one , that tho two had been seen together at all , though they were known to be companions . Brewer was consequently discharged , and Reynard was sent to Wakefield for two months .

      Vagrancy . —On Saturdaylast , several persons were brought before the magistrates at the Court House , on charges of begcing ; Jesse Whistonbury , of Manchester , and George Asquith , of Bradford , were each sent to Wakefield House of Correction for one month . Beerhouse Information . —On Monday last , Mr . J . Brown , of the Punch Bowl Beerhouse , at Beeston , was summoned before the magistrates to answer a charge of suffering card playing in his house , contrary to the terms of the license . Tha information was laid by the ni ^ hi police . It was his first offence , and there was no previous complaint against his honse , which , it was admitted , had always been respectably conducted ; he was therefore discharged on payment of the co * ts only .

On being arraigned , it was found that they were both dumb ; the clerk of the peace then ( according to law ) ompannelled a jury , to try if they were mutes by the visitation of God , or otherwise . The jury found that they were so by the visitation of God . It was then requisite to have an interpreter who could swear that he understood the signs of the mutes , and that the mutes understood him , but the Crown not being aware ofthe circumstance , were unprepared with suoh an official , and the trial was postponed to next sessions .

      Finsbury . —At a well attended meeting of the Chartists of tuis place on Monday evening last , called for the purpose of considering the proper steps which they ought to take with respect to the Complete Suffrage movement , the following resolution was carried with but two dissentients , being Bupported by Messrs . Knight , Watts . Beutly and others . "That we , the Chartist 3 of Finsbury , being of opinion that a great , unanimous and determined concentration of the energies of all classes of reformers advocating our principles , can alone effectually stem the torrent of persecution , which has swept away in its devastating oareer many of our best and boldest leaders , -and still overhangs with threatening aspect the heads of those who dare to rise and defend the unenfranchised

      serfs of Britain , and in order to effect this union , we do ( though determined never to abate one jot of the Charter , ) authorise an address to be prepared by the members of the Council , ia the name of all present , stating , that while we are willing to cooperate with the Complete Suffrage Association on the broad ground of principle , we do not think the plan of delegation laid down in the address of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Association , such as will provide a full , free , and fair representation of the opinions of the people , foe the one great reason , that one half the delegates having to be chosen by the electors only , will be giving to each one elector the same influence as every seven or eight nno-eleetors will possess , thus at once destroying the equality of representation . "

      ADDRESS OF THE CARVERS AND GILDERS' LOCALITY . Brother Democrats , —This locality having been recently formed , and ' this being the first subscription we have been enabled to make , to the great cause of Political Reform , we feel that some apology is necessary to our brother Democrats on entering at this protracted period , into the great contest of Chartism . And also an address to all classes , explanatory of the motives that stimulated us at this time to take our stand under the banner of reform . Although this locality has only been established at the present time , previous attempts were made by old adherents of the democratic cause , to introduce the important question of politics , as a trade measure ; bat , haying met with opposition from nume . * - ous individuals , this attempt was abandoned , and a

      few who felt friendly to the cause , formed themselves into a locality of the National Charter Association , hoping to increase our members , as our principles beeome known , and as the necessity for their adoption appears evident . Accordingly , a meeting was called , and seven took out cards of membership on our first night of meeting , with four who were previously members of another locality , making eleven ; since tken we have continued to meet once a week , adding to oar number each night ; thus we hope to accomplish by degrees what we could not do all at once . It must be consolatory to the feelings of thoso who have long laboured in the cause , to learn , that as Chartism grows ia age , it grows in strength .

      As to the motives which led us to take up this question , we felt convinced , as every reflecting mind must feel convinced , that the possession of property is a false criterion of political rights . And , though the working classes of this country have for ages been defrauded of their just right to the Suffrage , wo feel assured that antiquity , however remote , does not legalise the fraud . But what gave a greater impulse to this step was the late barbarous and unconstitutional proceedings against the right of publio meeting , and against the leaders of the people , those worthy patriots who have come forward to enlighten the people , to rouse them from their apathy , and burst those fetters that have long enthralled them . We sympathise with their wrongs , and feel it our duty to come forward and cheer them

      with our approbation , and give our mite towards the support of their suffering families . When we take a retrospective survey of society for the last half century , we find that the discoveries of scientific men , the adaptation of machinery , and improved systems in our manufactures , have alt tended to increase the productive power of thiscountry , and add to the luxuries and refinements of the higher and middle classes , —and when we ask the important question , —have the working classes advanced in the eame ratio , in refinement , in morality , and in affluence 3 No ! is the simultaneous reply of the toiling millions . We are year after year sinking deeper and deeper in degradation , in poverty , and in crime , doomed to a life of penury and toil ; we waste our strength , for a scanty

      physical existence , and sink into a premature grave , and that , while our granaries are teeming with plenty , our warehouses loaded with superabundance , and our artisans and labourers wandering the streets for want of employment . When we contrast the woeful condition of the working classes with that of the higher orders—when we witness the enormous masses of wealth which many of them possess , and the manner in whioh it is squandered on prostitutes and favourites , and every vice a vitiated imagination oan conceive—we can come to no other conclusion , than the great source of those enorraities is class legislation , whioh has deranged the balance of justice , by giving all power and patronage to an insignificant minority of the nation , while it has robbed the great majority of their just and sacred rights .

      It has been alleged of Chartists , that they are destructionists ; that they wish to demolish the institutions of the country ; that they want a division of property , and that they are too ignorant to entrust with the Suffrage . Let us glance at those assertions . It is a scandalous libel on the Chartists , to say that they wish to destroy any useful institution ; it is the desire of Chartists to remodel the fundamental errors of our institutions , and reform the abuses that have crept into them . As to a division of property , we say with Roeencran ( z , "there is no such stuff ia our thoughts . " We are aware that under a competitive system of society , inequality of property must exist . We know that . happiness is not measured by the amount of our possessions . What vro demand is equai political rights , not equal division

      of property . But then comes the charge that we are too ignorant to be entrusted with the franchise , and this is the unkindest cut of all ! Not content with defrauding the working classes of their political rights , and plundering them of the produce of their labour , they impiously add insult to injury , and tell us that we are too ignorant to be entrusted with the franchise . If we are too ignorant , what is the cause of our ignorance ? Is i '< our incapacity to learn ? Is it our lack of desire for knowledge ! is it that our bloated priesthood have neglected their dutyl or , is it that the present degraded condition of the working classes has so

      brutified our minds , and engrossed our time and attention in acquiring the physical wants of our nature , that we have no time left for moral and mental cultivation ? We ask the question , and leave the present class-formed government to answer it . For our part we feel assured that we have more to dread from the cabalistic intrigues of the present exclusive system , than the so-styled ignorance of the working classes . When the people obtain a more enlightened Government , chosen by themselves and under their control , this ignorance will quickly be dispelled , as the vapours and gloom of night are dispelled by the genial influence of the sun .

      We fear that we are intruding on your valuable time , but we cannot conclude this address without calling on our fellow working men of all denominations , to unite to gain the great principles of Chartism , till in its accumulated strength it sweeps away for ever the barriers of exclusive selfishness , and establishes in Great Britain and Ireland , * government , elected by the whole people ; under the control of the whole people ; and representing the interests of the whole people . C . Hutchings . President .

      LETTER FROM MR . JOHN CAMPBELL . 180 , Holboni , Thursday Morning . Brother Democrats , —I am again amongst you . I should not have written to-day but for two circumstances that came to my knowledge yesterday and last night . The first is , that on my arrival in Birmingham from Manchester , en route to London , I asked a friend of mine , who is in employ as a porter on the railway , to get me an Evening Star as quick as possible . He said to me , I wish I could , but the directors have forbidden the sale of the Northern and Evening Stars at the station . As many have not an opportunity of knowing , I will inform them that at all the large stations , there is a person who sells all the most prominent daily and weekly newspapers . Every sort of paper , from the Times to the Age , is

      permitted to bfi sold , except the two Stars ; such is the system that is carried on to damn the people ' s papers . Ought not this to be a stimulus to every Chartist in England , Scotland , and Ireland , to push their own press ? Every locality throughout the kingdom ought to take one or more Evening Stars . Nay , where twelve individuals are able , they ought to subscribe twopence per week each , and take in the < S ' ar . When parties are too poor to subscribe twopence per week , they ought to subscribe one penny , and by this means twenty-four persons could take it in regularly . Working men , push the Star into every coffee-shop an < i place of resort . The second circumstance is this , that after I was

      sent out of town to Manchester , one of the policemen who assisted in arresting me , called to see my wife , and said if she would inform him where Dr . M'Douall resided , he would pay her down fifty pounds on the nail , and he would take steps that I should be released . She said , "No ! I would not tell you if you would fill this shop with sovereigns ¦!* ' I wish I had been at home , I would have ser . t the fellow , probably to Vienna or Sc . Petersburgh , on a wildgoose chase in search of the worthy Doctor . Cards are again in readiness ; in the meantime , I subsoribe myself , Your brother democrat , J . Campbell .

      OMNIPOTENCY OF CHARTISM . In faith this Chartism is a funny animal . It reminds us of the worm which never dieth . No sooner is the oppreesor's heel lifted , —no sooner are its separated parts held up to the all-admiring eye of faction , as things to meet no more , —than we awake from our Blumber , and see the worm welded , strong , and crawling again . One side of the question is over . The Special Commissions are ended , but not so the special inquiries . There is some active agency at work ; for at the present moment vigorous preparations are being made to have tho point reserved by Mr . Allen on the trial of Ellis , argued before the fifteen Judges ; while at the same time the necessary steps are being taken by those Chartists who traversed till next assizes , to have their trials removed , in consequence of the prejudice created against them , in the minds of the Grand Jury and the Petty Jury class , by the speeches of

      Lord Arbinger . There are also many petition committees in course of appointment , for the purpose of bringing the cases of those who have received " disproportionate sentence !¦ " under the notice of the Queen and the Parliament ; while the general feeling of self-importance is daily getting stronger in the opinion of the Chartist body . They say , and justly too , —We muBt be somebody , else is the Government an idle " hussey , " and a frightened busy-body to make so much noise about nothing . Our principles must be good , when they cause so much alarm in high places ; and our NAME must be magical , when a Judge of the land makes it an offence against law and Holy Writ to acknowledge it . So much for persecution and Special CommistionB , to put out the Chartist light . Fudge I—Evening Star . i

In wool there is no change to report : tho manufacturers still continue to buy for immediate

There was a moderate share of business done in other kinds of goods . Wools , Oils &o . heavy .

      Bradford Market . — Wool— -There is still a dullness in the wool trade , and the purchases made are of a very limited character . Noils and Brokers are in steady request , but at a shade lower prices . — Yarn— We cannot hear anything better , but rather the contrary ; the adoption of short time is getting " more general , and the only safeguard to put an end to the present extremely low prices , which we learn , are below what they were ever known before Piece—The demand to-day , which is not very animated , runs on heavy goods , such as Lastingg , Damasks , Moreens , and low Orleans Cloths , of the latter article the market is not very abundantly supplied , and fair prices given . In fancy goods the condition of the manufacturer is very distressing , and the sales made at ruinously low prices , without any prospect of the slightest improvement , as the winter trade is usually for plain fabrics .

      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 theexcepfcion of printing cloth , are exceedingly light ; and most of the 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 . —Man-Chester Guardian of Wednesday .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 22 . —The demand for all descriptions of Flour 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 che supplies of Flour from the interior are but to a moderate extent . At our market this morning Wheat mot a slow sale at a decline of 2 i . to 3 J . per 7 Olbs . on all descriptions . The inqHiry for Flour 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 a top value . Select qualities of Oatmeal , however , met with a fair demand , and all such were readily disposed of to tha 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 & fair amount : the transactions on Friday included two or three purchases on speculation . Most ofthe 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 cargoss of Irish new have latterly found vend at 2 s 2 d to 2 s 4 d per 45 lbs . ¦ New Meal at 20 s 6 d to 21 s per 240 lbs . has also met more demand . The finer brands of States Flour are held for rather more money j Western Canal at 27 s to 27 a 6 d : Canadian is selling at 25 s 6 d to 26 s per bushel ; Irish at 36 s to 39 * per sack . English new Barley is held at 34 s to 35 s per quarter : but at these rates the maltsters do not buy treely . No change as regards Beans cr Peas . London Corn Exchange , Monday , October 24 . —At our market to-day , we had again a tcanty show of Wheat from the neighbouring counties of Essex , Kent , and Suffolk ; the condition of some of the samples was more or lees affected by the humid

      state of the atmosphere , which 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 tho close of the day , many sellers would willingly have taken Is per quarter less , notwithstanding which several runs remained undisposed of ac a late hour . For the finer kinds of free foreign wo had an improved inquiry , and purobases 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 , considerable difficulty was experienced in making sales ; still we do not consider prices cheaper than on Monday last . Interior kinds of Malt were quit © unsaleable ; but really fine qualities , whether old or new , supported their previous value . Besides the quantity of Oats reported , we had a large arrival from Ireland fresh up ; and , tho 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 la . per quarter cheaper . With Beans we were moderately supplied , and purchases could not have been made below the currency of Monday . Peas were scarce , and a shade dearer .

      Newcastle Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 22 . — We have still to report a continuance of most favourable weather for the country . We had some rain this morning , which will prove of great advantage , suoh being much wanted . At cur market this morning , we had a large show of Wheat from tha growers ; but from the coast the arrivals are trifling . We note the trade Is . to 2 * . per quarter lower ; 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 have declined Is . to 2 s . per sack , at which declension only a small portion of tho supply haa

      found buyers . For prime Norfolk households , 36 s . may be considered an extreme quotation ; whilst whites sell from 363 . 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 apprehend it will have much effect on oar sales next week . In 'Rye little passing . We have bad a few parcels of Norfolk Barley in this week , which have been taken off at 30 s . to 333 . per quarter . In Malt there has been less doing ; but in its value we have little alteration to note . Beans and Peas unaltered . The show of Oats from the country this morning was moderate ; nevertheless , much difficulty was experienced in effecting sales , although offered at a reduction of Is . per quarter .

      WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET . Friday , Oct . 28—There is a fair arrival of Wheat to-day , but a good deal of it was sold last week ; for New there is a steady sale , at an advance of Is . to 2 s . per quarter , and old finds buyers at an improvement of Is . per quarter . Barley is scarce and fetches full prices . Oats and Shelling have also improved in value . Beans as before . No variation ia other articles .
