      BRADFORD . —Ma . Oasti . es and T . Thornhiix , Esq . —At » meeting of the friends of Mr . Oastler , held at the New Inn , in Bradford , September 17 th , to consider the propriety of addressing ThomaB Thorohill , Esq ., on the subject of Mr . Oastler ' s liberation , a deputation , consisting of Messrs Aaty , Bulmer , and CJarkson , was appointed to wait upon Mr . ThornbiU , at Fixby Hall , which mansion he was expected , to visit the early part of next week The deputation having received information , on Monday , that Mr . Thornhill was at Fixby , took an early conveyance , and arrived At Fixby Hall at three o ' clock , previously to which two deputations bad already had interviews with Mr . ThorahiU , viz , from Huddersfield and Dewabury , on the same

      subject . The . Bradford deputation , however , soon found themselves in the presence of Thomas Thornhill , Esq- when the object of their mission waa briefly stated , namely , that they had been deputed by a meeting of the friends of Mr . Oastler in the town and neighbourhood of Bradford , to wait upon him . for the purpose of inducing him to liberate Mr . Oastler from the Fleet ; believing , as they did , that his services in Yorkshire at the the present time would be of essential service to his country ; and thu 8 they feared that , if Mr . Oastler was confined much longer , his health would be materially injured and his life shortened ; and * that they trusted that he bad no desire to shorten the days or injure the health of his old steward . Mr . Thornhill

      in reply , stated that he had no ill will towards Mr . Oastler whatever ; that he had no wish to shorten hie days or injure his life ; that he had no doubt but that Mr . Oastler might be of service to his country were he at large ; that he [ should be glad to see him liberated ; bnt , he felt that he would not be doing bis duty to himself and to his family , were he to consent to his liberation , without security for the debt . The deputation discussed the subject with Mr . Thornhill for upwards of an hoar and a half , urging Mr . Oastler ' s claims upon him , be lieving , as they did , that he was Buffering for his country's welfare , all of which Mr . Thornhill listened to with the greatest courtesy , and stated that an influential gentleman in London had called

      upon him a short time since on the same subject and to whom he had returned the same answer . Mr . Thornhill also kindly showed the deputation a letter he had lately received from one ef his own counsel in the late action , Thornhill v . Oastler , interceding in Mr . Oastler ' s behalf , but to which he had not yet been able to reply . The deputation expressed their gratitude for the interest which that learned gentleman had exhibited on Mr . Oastler's behalf . The deputation retired , regretting that Mr . Thornhill could not consent to liberate Mr . Oastler , but was glad to hear him express himself ready to enter into an amicable arrangement for that purpose , and they would hope that the day is not far distant when Mr . Oastler will be again restored to his family and friends .

      Public Meeting . —A public meeting of the females took place on Sunday evening last , in the room over the Chartist Provision Shop , Goodmansend , Mrs . Jackson in the chair , when the following resolution waa unanimously adopted : — "That the members of the various Female Associations be requested to attend a meeting on Sunday , the 26 th instant , to be holden at Mr . Carrodus ' s , North Tavern , Wapping , at half-past six o ' clock , to arrange the order of procession on Mr . O'Connor ' s public entry into Bradford . " Ma . Martin . —Ever since the last general election , Mr . Wm . Martin , who was elected one of the members for this borough by a large majority on the shew of hands , has been subjected to frequent insults by many unprincipled and en vious Whi # 3 . During the recent election , these insults have been turned into threats , and from threats to actual assault

      This is too much to bear by one who is himself under heavy bond to keep the peace , and Mr . Martin determined to seek that protection to which every Englishman is entitled , he last week obtained » peace warrant against a person of the name of Moornouse , a Whig constable of the township of Horton , who , in a state of intoxication , threatened to do him some grievouB bodily harm and who it is feared but for the prompt and very proper interference of Mr . Ibbetson ( who also happened to be a special constable ) would have inflicted immediate punishment . Moorhouse has since confessed his error , and on payment of the legal expences , Mr . Martin , with leave of the Magistrates , has withdrawn the prosecution , his object bciag accomplished in bringing the offending put ; to a ecus © and of his misconduct .

      £ 0 8 6 The Paruament . —The House of Lords has not met since Monday . On Tuesday and Wednesday the Commons were occupied with business of very little importance , principally in preparation for the prorogation till the end of the year . Horrible Murder in Eastcheap . —On Tuesday night , at about ten minutes past ten o ' clock , a most horrible murder was committed at the King ' s Head public-house , Eastcheap , ou the person of Mr . Bourden , the landlord of the above house , as well as an attempt at the lives of two other persons , the sister of Mr . Bourden and hid wife ' . The particulars of the horrid case , as far as we could learn , are as follows : At about three o ' clock on Tuesday morning a person

      of the name of Blakesley accosted Sergeant Bradley , 503 of the City police , and inquired of him how he could obtain possession of his wife , whom ho stated was Btaying at the above house ; but after beiDg advised to call in tho afternoon , he went away . At about ten o ' clock on Tuesday night he ( Blakesley ) went to the King ' Head , with every appearance of extreme agitation depicted on his countenance , and proceeded behind the bar , where the deceased was sitting on a chair dosing , and his ( Blakesley ' s ) wife attending to the customers ; the villain , without saying one word , drew from his pocket a batcher's knife , such as are used for killing sheep , and made a desperate thrust at his wife , wounding her in a dreadful manner . Her screams awoke Mr . Bourden , who , while in the act of rising from his seat , was stabbed in the stomach by Blakesley , the knife penotrationg to the handle , and he felt at the bardoor iu the passage , bleeding in a dreadful

      manner . After making an attempt to strike Mrs . Bourden , the murderer stepped over the body of his victim , who was writhing in the agonies of death , and made his escape . Mr . Smith , of Graccchurchstreet , was instantly sent for , who lost no time in attending , but tre he atrived poor Bourdon had expired . His attention was then directed to the unfortunate woman , who had gone up stairs , leaving traces of her blood from the bar to her bed-room , and whom he found ia a very dangerous state , having been severely wounded , but we could not ascertain whether mortally or not . At the time the murder was committed , there were several persons passing by , and taking the alarm , ran after tho murderer , calling out " Stop him ! " The direction he took was towards the Tower , down Thames-street , and was soon lost to his pursuers . Latest Particulars—The following additional particulars relative to the above awful murder have been

      obtained . Bet * een nine and ten o ' clock on Tuesday night , as Mrs . Bourden , and her unfortunate sisterin-law were in the bar , they observed the door to open repeatedly , and some one to look in , but they thought nothing of the matter , neither did they recognise the featuresof the individual so obtruding . There is no doubt he was watching an opportunity when tho bar was clear of customers ( which , alas , so soon presented itself ) to carry his horrid design into effect . The name of tho wretched man is Blex-Jey and not Blakesley . His father is a highly respectable man , living in the City-road , and has offices iu Basinghall-street ; and owing to the profligate life which his son had lived he determined ,

      about twelve months since to discard him , since whioh time he became acquainted with the sister of the deceased , who was formerly bar-maid to her brother , and has been married to the murderer about three months . For a short time they lived at Seven Oaks , where the husband carried on the business of a carcass-butcher , but being unsuccessful , Le returned to London , and made an appeal ( through his wife ) to his father for assistance , but was refused , when his wife returned toher brother ' s at the King s Head , which circumstance seemed to prey upon his mind . The knife waa actually ground at the back , and was as keen at both edges as a razor . A number of the city police , under the directions of Mr . Inspector Brake , have been dispersed in search of the murderer .

W . Robinson , the mayor of Lancaster . ,

      Leeds Ci , oth Market . —There still continues to be a fair share of business doing in the warehouses , but at the Cloth Halls , the demand for goods is very trifling . It would seem as if the merchants had almost ceased their purchases at the Halls ; indeed , goods are now more than ever carried direct from the manufacturers to the warehouses . Richmond , Corn Market , Sept . 25 . —We had not so plentiful a supply of Grain in our market today as last week , which caused an advance of 9 d . pec bushel on some samples of new Wheat . Wheat sold from 7 s . 6 d . to 10 a . ; New do ., 6 a . to 83 . ; Oats , 2 s . 6 d . to 3 s . 8 d . , Barley , 5 s . to 5 s . 3 d . ; Beans , 5 s . 6 d . to 6 s . per bushel .

      Liverpool Cattlb Market , Sept . 27 .- —The supply of Beasts at the market to-day has been larger than last week , but the price about the same . There was a smaller quantity of sheep , particularly the best quality of wether Mutton , in consequence of which there was an advance in price .

      Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Sbpt . 25 . —At to-day ' s market we have a moderate comsumptiye demand for each article at about the prices of this day week , and the appearance of the trade is firm and healthy .. Good dry new English Wheat , 9 s . 9 L to 10 s . ; . Oats 33 . to 3 s . Sd . Meal 29 s . to 393 ., but the quantity of new produce offeriHg is as yet small . The weather during the last two or three days has been showery , and we conceive that a considerable quantity of Grain is still unsecured in the later districts of the United Kingdom .

      Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Ssvt . 27 . — Our imports of British Grain , Flour , and Oatmeal , since this day se ' nnight , have been light , from foreign states there are reported 7 , 823 qrs . of Wheat , and from Canada 4 , 699 barrels and 400 sacks of Flour , both admissible for home consumption at the lowest rates of duty : the import on the former has now advanced to 2 s . 8 d . per quarter . At our market on Tuesday there was a good demand for Wheat for consumption , and the decline noted in prices at the close of last week was recovered , the general runs of Lowor Baltic red Wheat selling at 9 a . 61 . to 9 a . 8 d ., up to 9 s . lOd . to 9 s . lid . for fine Bostock ; American at 9 s . 6 d . to 93 . 9 d . ; Odessa at 8 i . lOd . to 9 s . ; good fine mixed Danzig at 9 s . lOd . to 10 s . 3 d . per 70 lbs . There has since been less animation in the trade , and any change in prices has been in favour of the buyer , without any disposition being shown on the

      part of holders , however , to press sales . A few small parcels of Irish new Wheat have appeared ; the damp inferior Jots have been sold at 8 s . 6 d . to 83 . 81 ., whilst some fine kiln-dried has brought Ds . 3 d . per 701 bs . Old Oats have met a little more inquiry , and beiDg is small supply , have brought rather more money ; good mealing 3 a . Id . to 33 . 2 d .: 3 j . 3 d . per 45 lbs . obtained for some very choice . No new at market this week . New Oatmeal has gone off somewhat more freely at . 28 s . to 28 s 6 d ., but old has continued dull of sale at 253 . to 25 s . 6 d . per 240 lbs . For Barley , Beans , or Peas , there has been little more than a retail demand . Egyptian Beans have been sold free at 32 s . to 33 s . per 380 ib ., and Foreign Peas at 39 s . to 41 s . per quarter . At Manchester , on Saturday , a good business was done in United States sweet Flour , from this side , at 35 s . Gd . to 3 £ s . per barrel .

      London Smithfield Market , Monday , Sept . 27 . —On account of there being a comparative falling off in the supply of Beasts offering in our markets to-day , and the large attendance of both London and country dealers ,- the Beef trade was steady , at a rise of about 2 J . per 8 ibs ., and a clearance was speedily effected . > From Scotland 150 Beasts and 280 Sheep were received in good condition . There was a fair average number of Sheep on the market , which moved off briskly on quite as good terms as those noted on this day se ' nnight . About 300 Lambs were brought forward , which commanded scarcely any attention . Calves were in short supply , and brisk demand , at higher rates of currency . The sale for Pigs was animated , on full terms . As to the general quality of the stock , it was decidedly improved , and very few of either the Beasts or Sheep were suffering from the epidemic .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday . —There wa a limited supply of Wheat this morning from Essex * Kent , and Suffolk , and only a moderate quantity of Barley , Beans , and Pea 3 from all these counties , with a fair arrival of Oats , whilst the import of foreign Wheat was again very large , and tolerably good of Barley and Oats . Since last Wednesday much rain has fallen , and by this morning ' s letters this appears to have been pretty general throughout the United Kingdom . The driest samples of English Wheat commanded last week's pr ices , bufc from the damp state of the weather , a great proportion of this day's supply was in miserable condition , and such met a very dull sale on rather lower terms :

      from the email supply at market it appears that many farmers have wholly ceased to thrash , being dissatisfied with the prices of the new crop . There was a rather extensive sale for foreign Wheat , and fully as much money was made for all sorts , but particularly for choice Dantzic ; in some instances for such and for heavy red qualities rather higher prices were obtained . Town-made Flour was unaltered . Barley met a steady sale at full as much money . Beans and Peas brought last week ' s prices . From the coarse quality of the new Barley , choice season-made Malt commands high prices , selected Chevalier being worth 683 . per quarter . There was no variation in the price of Oats , good Cora meeting a moderate sale , at late rates .

      Newcastle-Corn Market , Sept . 25 . —The weather has been more unfavourable this week for harvest operations , but the bulk of the crops in the neighbouring counties is now secured . We bad a large show of Wheat at market ( o-day from the country , the quality and condition of which was superior to last week , and was readily takea off by our millers at the same rates . There was more enquiry for foreign Wheat , and some extent of business done on the terms of this day week . The quantity of foreign Wheat entered for consumption here this week exceeds 90 , 000 qr 3 . Rye is without alteration . Barley continues in good demand . In Beans and Peas no change . Wo had a fair supply of Oats this morning , almost « ntireiy of the new growth , for which there was a fair demand , and we can note no alteration in the price of either new or old . Flour is Is ; per sack lower , and a cull sale . Our millers have made a farther reduction to-day btiug now at 46 s . per sack delivered .

      Thihsk Corn Market , Sept . 27 . —There waa a great show of Grain , which fell in price , in some kinds materially , as Wheat and Oats . Wheat , da . to 9 b . ; Beans , 4 s . to 5 s . per bushel .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Deas Sir , —By inserting tlie following in your valuable paper , you will obli ge , Yours , very trul y , George Julian Harney .

      . TO MR . MARK CRABHtEE . Sir , —I yesterday received a letter from Pewsbury of which ihe following is a copy : — " Dewsbury , Sept . 23 , 1841 . " Mr . Harney , Sir , —I am instructed by your friends in Dewsbury to lay the following statements before you : —After the district meeting on Sunday last was over , a few delegates repaired as usual to Mr . Charles Armshaw ' s , to have a little conversation , when Mark Crabtree , accompanied by a bro--ther of his , came into the room , when , after a little chat on different subjects . he ( ilark Crabtree ) asked , if w e , the Chartists of Drsvabury , would take pan along with Lord Ashley in an agitation for a Ten

      Hoars' Bill ? Our answer was , that we would join ia tio agiiition short of a whole measure of justice to the working classes , which was—the People's Charter . He ( Mark Crabtree ) then went on to say , that the- Chartists , or leading Chartists of Dewsbury , was a set of poor , mean , shabby humbugs ; and this , said he , is the opinion of William Martin , of Bradford and poor George Julian Harney . You behaved in a most shabby manner to poor Harney said he ; you paid him as your lecturer , a paltry thirty shillings per week , while I paid him Jive-

      andforty shillings per tceek during the late West Ridbig election . With this expression , be struck the table , had it not been British oak , a blow sufficient to shiver it . After this , Thomas Waas challenged him to prove bis assertion on the Market Cross next morning at ten o ' clock , and he ( Thomas Wass ) would at the same time engage to prove to a majority of the inhabitants that Mark Crabtree was a lying , two-faced political villain . Thomas Wass attended time and place , but the rascal had cut his nick and l « ft the town .

      " In conclusion , it is the desire of your friends in and . about Dew-bury that you should challenge him in . the XoTlhern Star to prove what he said , which , if he refuses , the Chartists of Dewsbury will tflea caution the Chartist body against this Torypaid scoundrel , as they coa ^ ider Mark Crabtree as pernicious a character as Harrison , the notorious spy . ** The persons ready to come forward to prove what is here contained are John Haiga , of 03 ssu ; Joseph Atkinson , of Heckmondwike ; Thomas Wass , of Dawgreen ; and Benjamin Simpson ,

      "The affair has been laid before a meeting of Chartists in Dewsbjry ; the opinion of which you will understand by the enclosed resolution . " Signed on behalf of the Chartists of Dewsbury , " Wm . Moselev , Stott , Secretary . " " P . S . Enclosed you will find the resolution passed at our- meeting . " The above letter is dated September 23 rd , but bears the Dewsbnry post-mark of September 27 th . Perhaps Mr . Stott can explain this . The following is a copy of the " resolution" alluded to in the postscript of the above : —

      Moved by Adam Brander , seconded by James Ketvsome— " That we , the Chartists of Dewsbury , have ^ very confidence in George Julian Harney , one of our late candidates for the West-Riding of the County of York , and w « consider the assertion made by Mark Crabtree , of Ltewgreen , which was to the eifect that Mr . Harney , like himself , was in the pay of the Tories during the last election , to be a direct attack upon the character of Mr . Harney , who we consider to be one of the most upright , bold , and unflinching patriots that in our day has come forward to advocate and demasd the rights of the working classes . " Wm . Moselet Stott , Chairman .

      On thi 3 resolution I have only to remark that I return my thanks to the men of Dewsbury fer the good opinion they have of me been pleased therein to express . I assure them they will find their confidence in Julian Harney has not been misplaced . Mr . Crab : ree , 1 have copied the above letter verbatim as I received it . My answer shall be summary and to the point . Your statement ( if that statement you made ) that you paid me jive and forty shillings per iceek during the late West Riding Election , is a -wicked and calumnious lie ; and I challenge and defy you to prove it . George Julian Harnet . . Shefield , September 29 , 1341 .
