Hoy announced at the close of tho meeting that he would deliver a lecture on Friday evening , in the Chartist Room , in answer to the Corn Law lecturer , which he did in a masterly style , completely clearing away the rubbish of the Corn Law lecturer .

      BRADFORD . —Reverse of Fortune . —One of t hose strange turns of the fickle maid , fortune , of which wo hear tell sometimes , has occurred during the last week in this tonn , to William Sewe !! , a water hawker , wll known under the cognomen of " Water Bill . " Ou Thursday moruiug a later from Bath arrived , per post , announcing to him that a rich aunt , who had resided in that town was dead , and had left to him the large sum of £ 10 , 000 . To rendtr assurance t ' oubly sure , the same evening a gentleman arrived from B : tth , to take proceedings in the matter ; and with him Sewell sot off next morning to Bath , where arrangements were made and the property secured to him . He then returned to Bradford ,, " quite a gentlemen , " as the phrase goes' .

      Seriods Accident . —On Monday night , as Mr . TetUy F « aruley , traveller for Mr . Peter Beck , of Halifax , brewor , was proceeding down Manor Row , on horseback , on his return from Keighley , when near the Free Grammar School , he met Mr . Wharton , of Baildon , better known as the "JBaildon doctor , " who was driving home in a gig . By some unfortunate cj ' rcums ? a 7 icc Mr . Wharton ' s gig shaft hit Mr . Tetley ' s horse in the chest , with such force as to drive it into t > e body , towards the middle of tho back , and nearly out under the saddle . Mr . Fearnley was thrown from his seat by the concussion , and received some ir juries , of which he has since recovered . Tho animal , which is a valuable one , was conveyed to the Swan , in Market-street , where it still remains , under the 'professional care of-Mr . Byron , veterinary surgeon , Mr . Whar ton also received some injuries , but not any of a very Kcrious description .

      Fraud upon a Secbet Society . —On Wednesday , before the Magistrates , at the Court House , Bradford , James Gareide , of Bowling , permanent secretary to the Kquity Lodge , of the Grand United Order of Fellows , held at the Junction Inn , was charged with having embezzled money , the property of the society , and . also £ 1 2 s . 6 d ., the property of the landlord , Mr . Outtwaite . Mr . Tolton , solicitor , appeared for the society , and Mr . Outhwaite and Mr . Wagstaff for ihe defe / idnnt . The charge of obtaining money from tho landlord was stated by Mr . Tolson . On the 6 th of September , the defendant sent a note to Mr . Outhwaito requesting that £ 1 2 s . 6 i ., which was due from the Equity Lodge , to a lodge m Leeds , might be sent to him by the bearer . The note being Garside ' s writing , Mr . 0 .,

      who , it appear * , paysmoney on account of the ' society in this manner , and has it refunded on the looge nights , sent the sum required . It had since turned out that the money was not owing to the Leeds Lodge , and defendant , on this discovery being made , having been charged with the offence , adiuittrd that he had received it and appropriated it to his own use . Mr . Wagstaff replied that as the man had only been taken into custody on the previous night , and had not bad time to prepare his answer to the charge , he might be held to bail to appear at another time . The application was granted , and nexc Wednesday fixed . Bail was procured , and the defendant discharged . The charges of defrauding the society were not detailed , but Mr . Tolson told the magistrates that they wore numerous .

      CLAYTON .- On Monday night the members of the reading room , held at the house of Mr . Wm . Hcllewell , ntar Clayton Heights , sat down to a sumptuous repast , on the occasion of their tenth anniversary . Honfstv . —On Saturday last , Squire Torford , farmer , near Clayton Height ? , being at Halifax fair on returning homo took the precaution in case he should be robbed upon the road , to put . his money in atafe place , he accordingly wrapped « p four sovereigns and a half in paper , and put them into his watch pocket .

      On reaching home , to his utter astonishment , he f « und he was miuus both money and paper , and on examining the pocket found a hole in the bottom large enough for his treasure to get out . Mr . T . made the case known in the neighbourhood , when , to hia astonishment , Mr . John Whitaker of the Old Dolphin , having been at the fair and returned the same way , found ihe mon « y wrapped up in a paper aa described . He hastened to the house of the farmer and presented him with his lost paper and its contents . Mr . T . returned him thanks and offered him 10 s . for his honesiy , but he would receive nothing .

      CLAYTON WEST . —The largest fire that ever occurred in this part of the country took place on Monday morniug last . As the watchman of Messrs . Joseph Norton and Co ., was going his round ,. he discovered afire in one of the lower rooms . He gave an alarm jnsfc before one o ' clock , and , before auy assistance could be got , the fkmes had reached tho top of the factory , which is six stories high . About half-past one o ' clock , the root fell in with a tremeadous crash , and ono room after another were destroyed , so that before three o ' clock the whole of the six rooms had been burnt . One side of the engine house , which is at one end of the factory , is consumed ; at the other end of the fae

      to ry was the press shop , which is burnt down , and upwards of £ 100 woitb . of press paper destroyed . U was four o ' clock before the first engine arrived from Huddersfield ; and there being a plentiful supply of water , the destructive element received a check . At half-past five , another engine arrived , and about daylight , the second side of the factory fell down with a tremendous craab . Great praise is due to the working men in trying to gave the buildings by throwing on water before the arrival of the engiues . The property destroyed is estimated at £ 20 000 , but we understand the building and machinery are insured . It ia expected that it will throw three or four hundred hands oat of

      employment . HA WORTH . —There are sow in the employmeut of James Greenwood , Esq ., manufacturer , at this placa , four men , woolcombers , all working at one comb-pot , whose united ages amount to 269 years . State of Tbade . —The trade at Haworth is in a queer and unsettled state , —some having too much wcrk , and othcra too little , —in consequence of there being H ' . Uo or no demand for somekinds of goods , and a great demand for other kinda . Indeed the masters find it very difficult to keep , without loss , all their men fully employed .

      Ministerial Difficulties . —It is confidently stated in tbe city , that the frequent meetings of Ministers for the last week have some grand object in view of a financial nature , so as to impede , if possible , the great distress that is daily rapidly increasing in the manufacturing districts , and which seriously threatens the commercial influence and power of this vast empire . The sliding scale of Sir Robert Peel has proved a failure , and it is expected thai a most important alteration in the Corn-Laws will be made by the Right Honourable Premier on the assembling of Parliament , either to admit it at a 4 s .

      or 53 . duty , or to repeal the tax altogether . The grand financial measure of Sir Robert is said to be to reduce the 3 i per cent , stocks , to 3 per eenb ., so as to effect a great saving anaually in the expenditure of the state . There is a super-abundance of money in the market , which the parties know not how to speculate with except in joint-steck companies , railroads , and elastio India rubber bubbles . The brokers are looking forward with the eye of Argus at every movement of Ministers , as the Bank of England Directors will support them in any financial measure they may briDg forward next session to effeot this reduction .

      Metal Houses . —Houses composed exclusively of iron and cast metal , the first of the kind ever introduced into Ireland , are about to be constructed in Carysfort aveDue , near Blackrock . The cost of each house is estimated at £ 1 , 200 . —Dublin Freeman ' s Journal . Fire in Spitalfields , —Shortly before three o ' clock on Wednesday morning , a firo took place in tha premises of an oilman , Union-street , Spitalfields . The proprietor was awoke by the barking of his dog , and on getting out of bed was alarmed by the room being filled with smoke . The family escaped at the top of the house . A strong party of polioe arrived , and rendered assistance before the engines reached the gpot ; but before the flame 3 could be extinguished ,

      from the infl itnmable nature of the stock , considerable loss of property was sustained . This ib the sixteenth fire in London within the last nine days . Rktolting Case—We are put in possession of the following statement by James B . utterworth , news-agent , Jtfurnley , who vouches for its accuracy , and refers to Mr . Henry Wilkinson , of Higher Moss End , near New-church , in the ForeBt of Pendle , in confirmation of its truth : —An old cow , belonging to Mr . Wilkinson , died of distemper , a few days ago , ar . d he sold the carcase to Richard Myers , of Burnley , for 2 s . 6 d . The death of the cow hav'ng become known in the neighbourhood , a number of the famishing poor went to tbo place where it lay ;

      and begged for portions of its fieah . Mr . Wilkinson , after some consideration , let a poor man named Wm . Hargreaves have a cutting of several pounds weight , and similar portions were afterwards given to George Green , Mary Hartley , Thomas Foster , and John Watts . These poor creatures urged their miserable and wretched poverty as tho case of the clani"ur for the diseased beef , and stated that it would save themselves and families from the horrors of starvation ¦ and- death . Mr . Wilkiusoa , knowing their diatresa and hunger , reluctantly permitted them to cut up the beast and take such quantities of it as they desired . Such \ 8 the horrible condition to which honest and industrious English workmen are reduced in their native land . —Manchester Times .

      State of the Nottingham Tradk . —The approach of the winter season has been severely felt this week , as very few bobbin nets have been selling , which depression has extended even to the patent plait nets . The brisk state of trade in France has caused the exportation of machinery to be extremely active ; two 42-quarter bobbin net machines went on Saturday night ; and on Tuesday , a 15-quarter was loaded at Snenton in open day . Since the publication of the Manchester letter , though it states that tbe Government will not grant licenses for lace and flax machinery , yet from all we can perceive , the law is in abeyance , and is in fact abrogated . A memorial upon the subject to the Boards of Trade is in course of signature . The Bilk

      glove trade is in the most deplorable state , and nothing is heard amongst the hands but distress and lamentation . The begging sjstem is again in full activity . Ae a matter of course , the system of furci d vagrancy has a tendency to fraud ; but thert are certainly a great number of worthy men who are reduced to this painful alternative ; whilst we know of othtrs , who for the last two years have made a trade of preying upon the benevolent . The working-classes detest these imposters , and would give , if asked , every assistances to detect them . The sufferings of many of the framework-knitters

      are now intolerably grievous . One of them named John Cullen , of Snenton-elements , has supplied us with the following satement of his ordinary week ' s work : — "I took , " he says , " a frame with halfhose cut-ups . The master told me that they were Bevenpeuce per doz ^ n from the warehouse but his price was Cd . per dozen . In the course of the week , I made ten dozen , amounting to about 6 s ., from which had to be deducted the following expenses : —seaming and profits , 2 s . 6 d . ; frame rent , 2 s . 4 d . ; needles , 2 J . ; fat , 3 ) . ; fire , 3 d , * and caudles , 6 d . ; thuB positively leaving me nothing whatever to subsist upon . " '— A ottinuham Review .

      People Look Out !—It is highly amnsiDg . to hear some of the calculations now and then made as to the probability of a coalition between the leading Whigs and leading Tories , while for practical governmental purposes , every man of ' common senso must know that such a thin /? , upon a general scale , would be impossible . Such things have occurred in former times , it is true , but in those days each party consisted of but a man or two . . Pitt or Fox as shepherds © f their respective flocks , tui ^ ht have sold the whole lot along with themselves , —but not so now . A half dozen going , —nay , or the whole batch troing over at once , —from one side to the other , would not ensure either the following nor yet the silence of the bleating flock left behind .

      Politics are now more of a trade than they were formerly , and the trade is overstocked . What , for instance , could Sir Robert Peel do with the many hungry devils that would follow iu the wake of the alliance ! We have very little doubt that Russell will go over , aud Peel will hail hiu junction as a great advantage . But , then , he leaves Palmerston , Normanby , Hobhouse , . Macau lay . Lord Howick , Charles Wood , Moipeth , Charles Buller , Labour chere , and all the Greys and the Ellisses . No : — the effect of a junction between the Tories and a few of the leading Whigs would be the formation of a strong and more democratic oppo .-ition . formed by the neglected of the Wiiig pavty . Wo do not believe that any promise of reward would induce

      either Morpeth or Howick to join a Tory party ; as for Macauliiy , Hobhouse , and Palmerston , they are any man ' s who best comes up to their price . Rue-sell really goes over if he does change sides , —which , mind , we have not yet made our minds , up upon , simply from pride and a love of ease aud family considerations . If he goes , Howick will not allow Palmeraton to lead the Whig party upon " Here I am and there I am" policy . No , Howick will then endeavour once more to revive tho olden times of Fox aud Pitt , by drawing an unerring line of demarcation between Whig and Tory principles , and by leading on the former . But then the question may be asked , " What is to be done with buncombe and his ten millions in the mean time ? ' for , mask as faction may tor yet a little , Duncombe , aiter ¦ all , will be the

      stumblingblock in the way of political prostitution . Authority may laugh at the exertions of a single individual ; but when those exertions are backed by millions of voices , and great energy , judgment , eloqueuce , and perseverance , the man becomes a host , the one becomes many . The feeling of Eelf-robpect , and the awkward custom of men thinking and speaking for themselves , now-a-daya , renders the sale of leaders , in the House or out of the House , comparatively harmless . The Chronicle is no doubt fishing for such a ution of flesh as will iusuro the suppression of Chartism ; but even to that the majority outside will not lend their sanction , and accord their support . Therefore , happen what may inside , we have the vanity ; o believe that the outside of our House is proof against the worst weather . —Evening Star .

      Some months ago , an old Peninsula and Waterloo officer applied to Lord Hill for an ensigncy for his son without purchase . The candidates uair . t was placed on the crowded list at the Horse Guards , with a promi se of early notice . On the Duke succeeding Lord Hill , his Grace's old follower again applied through an influential channel . The pithy but gratifying answer was , "The'puke has anticipated your wishes . " The lucky candidate will be gazatted to an old and distinguished corps on the India statiorl in a few days . Here is a proof that " the Duke" has not forgotten his old followers . —Limerick Chron .

      Singular Escape . —The manager of a coal work near Duudonuld , during last week , had occasion to keep his men closer than usual at work in one of the pits which was undergoing some necessary repairs . Previous to leaving home after dinner to go to the pit , he requested his wife to bring some refreshment for hiniEclf and the men at work . Accordingly she did so ; and on arriving at the pit mouth , insisted on going down into the bowels of the earth to dispense the good things of this life iu propria persona . Her wish was complied with , and down she went in the bucket , aud . was received by her husband at the bottom , who expressed great surprise at her appearance , there , and bluntly stated his apprehensions of her reaching the upper

      world in safety . The husband and wife got into the creel to ascend , and had been drawn up the shaft about forty feet , when the rope broke , and both along with the bucket , were precipitated to the bottom . Strange to say , neither of the two were hurt by the fall ; the only injnry received was by the woman , on whom the broken rope fell and slightly ruffled the . skin of her neck . The bottom of the pit was boarded over , and the bucket broke two of tbe planks by the force of its descent . Had it gone through , the probability isgreat that we should have had to record an accident of a fatal character , as , beneath the boards there was a continuation of the shaft , of about . ' orty fathoms , half filled with water , into which had they fallen , they would never have been got out life . —Ayr AdvertiHU

      Fire and Destruction of Property on thb London and Biuminghah Railway . —Last Tuesday night , about twelve o ' clock , as the luggage train of the London and Birmingham Railway was proceeding towards London , it was discovered , on arriving at Kilburn , that some of the trucks which were heavily laden were in a blaze . With the assistance of some of the Company ' s servants , and a number of the Metropolitan police , the said carriages were speedily unloaded , and the engine , being detached from the train , went on to Eaatonsquaro ; it speedily returned with a supply of water , and after the lapse of a short period , the flames were entirely subdued , but not before a considerable deal of property bad been destroyed .

Upon the whole , the prospects to the operatives for the coming winter are anything but promising . Wool , Oils , &c , a 3 usual . Bradford Market , Thursday , Non . 10 th— Wool —There still continues great flatues 3 ia the Wool trade , what purchases are made are quite in a small

      way , the spinners buying only to supply immediate wants , and what is most in request is deep-grown wethers and sorts , of which our market is in tolerable supply . In prices , a further slight decline . Yarn—This branch still continues very inanimate , tbe manufacturers buying with great cauion , ana the spinners ouly working their mills during daylight , which has tended to shorten the production , and prevent any further reduction in prices . Piece—There is a moderate atten anco of merchants attending OUT market to-day , whose wants are ohiefly for Orleans cloths , which are theleast plentiful ; and taken off aa fast as produced . In Merinos a little is doing . The fancy trade is still greatly depressed , and tho manufacturers are sheltering themselves from the ruin consequent in continuing to produce them by abandoning the trade .

      Manchester Corn Market , Nov . 5 . —During the week there has been but a moderate amount of business done in any article of the trade , and the dealers supplied themselves with limited quantities of Flour and Oatmeal at the previous currency . The Irish supplies consist of 5043 quarters of Oats , 7202 loads of Oatmeal , and 2734 sacks Flour , which form the chief amount of imports to Liverpool and Runcorn ; and those from the interior continue light . An advance in the price of Wheat in several of the leading markets has had a corresponding t ffeet here , ana we raise our quotations 2 d per 70 ibs . Flour was likewise he d with more firmness , and , as stocks continue light , the Bale * made in that article were at the full rates of this day se ' nnight ; in some instances an improvement on them was realised , but there was very little animation in the trade . In the value of pats or Oatmeal , with a very limited inquiry , no change can bo noted .

      Liverpool Corn Mabket ,- Monday , Nov . 7 th . — During the week the trade has continued to evince much firmness , and wo have to note prices of all sorts of foreign Wheat 3 d to 4 d per bushel higher than on this day se'miight , at whieh a fair quantity has been sold to the millers and dealers , and some parcels taken to hold over . A similar advance has been obtained for Irish hew Wheat , which has been scarce . Flour has sold at Is per sack advance . The few new Oats that have arrived have gone off at 2 s 5 d to 2 * 7 d per 45 lbs . With a better supply of Oatmeal we have to report the demand rather languid ; prices , however , have been maintained , 22 s to 23 s per 240 lbs . for imh manufacture . Barley is 2 s per quarter cheaper . Peas have also been sold at a reduction of Is per quarter . No change as regards Beans .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday , Nov . 7 . —The return of arrivals during last week shows a moderate quantity of nearly every description of Grain , the only exception being that of English Barley , of which the supply equalled 9 , 366 quarters The demand throughout the week for English Wheat was tolerably brisk , particularly for fine samples , and prices of this article consequently assumed a firm tendency . For foreign Wheat there was also a very good trade , at prices from la to 2 s per quarter higher than those of the preceding week . Barley remained tolerably steady , but Oats were not to be bought on Friday under rates of decided improvement to those of Monday . In Beans or Peas there waa no alteration during ihe week worthy of notice here , the trade for

      these articles being merely to satisfy immediate wants , aud the supply being sufficient for this purpose , prices remained perfectly stationary . The trade this morning opened brisk for English Wheat , and the supply has been taken off at about 2 s . advance above tho rates of this day week . Barley has met a tolerably free sale , at prices full as high as those of last Monday . Oats are held firmly at 6 d . to Is . higher than Friday ' s prices , but iho sales have been slow at the advance . Beans are not quite sofree a sale as last week , but prices are unaltered White Peas small in supply , with a slack demand . Maple Peas are foil Is . dearer . In Seeds or Floor there is no alteration worthy of reoord ; the demand for the former has not been brisk .

      London Smithfield , Monday , Not . 7 . —Accounts from various markets near sea ports on the coast represent a continuance of arrivals of Foreign Cattle , and at Hull , on an increasing scale . With few exceptions , the quality is stated to be of an inferior end middling description , and consequently realizes low prices . The official return for the port of London of foreign beasts to Saturday , the 5 th instant , gives the number as only six ; but the number at market to-day was about fifty head , having most of them been sent from Hull , &c . Like the last two or three arrivals , the quality of these Bullocks was very inferior , poor in condition , and many of them aged . Few found buyers at a decline upon the prices of last Monday ; the remainder , it is expected , will fiud their way into the country markets round London , where , doubtless , they will attract attention . In several instances lately many of these which have been unsold in London have been

      sen !; to Southampton and other places , and not finding purchasers have been returned to London again for eale in a worse condition than at first . The supply of home-bred Beasts at market to-day was mtuh less than last week , the difference being nearly 1 , 000 head . The graziers are eaid to have been alarmed by the very low prices which their Beasts have fetched in consequence of so extensive a supply for the laat two weekB , and acting with caution , forwarded sparingly for this day ' s market . Should they continue to act thus for a week of two , it is confidently expected that trade will be restored to its former toae . The decreased number on sale to-day

      caused a little more briskness in trade , which fully bearB out this opinion . No advance in price ( however , was obtainable , as the butchers are well stocked for the week . Nearly all sold by the close of the market . Of Sheep the supply was large , equal to the number on offer last week , but the quality was again generally only second rate . A few prime Southdown Ewes were bought by the West-end butchers at 4 s . 4 d . per stone , but on an average the best description at market cannot be quoted higher than 43 . 2 d . Veal was very dull hale , and a reduction of full 6 d . per stone failed to re-animate the trade . Pork , on the contrary , commanded a ready sale at former currencies .

      RicnHeKD Corn Markrt , Saturday , November 5 . —We had a tolerable supply of Grain in our market to-day . Wheat from 5 a 3 d to 6 s 9 d ; Oats 2 s to 33 lOd ; Bariojr 3 i 6 d 10 4 s ; Beans 4 s 6 d to 5 s 3 d per bushel . Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , Nov . 7 . — The supply of Cattle at market to-day has not been quite so large as of late , and the greatest part of second-rate quality ; prices about the same . Beef 5 d to 6 d ; Mutton 5 d to 6 d per ib . Number of Cattle at market : —Beaets 1 , 6 * 45 , Sheep 5 J 35 .

      We have audited ( he accounts of tho Executive Committee , and find them to be strictly correct ; but we respectfully EU . Kgest to Mr . Bairstow tho propriety of explaining the heavy travelling e : penceshe has been at . We find there are 4 , 813 plain , and thirty enamelled cards owing for ; we sincerely hopo they will be paid for without delay . We do not wi&h to mention names . We have also examined the accounts fron the firsv of October until now , und we are sorry to state that the funds of the Executive are in a very low condition , but t >< is must be attributed to tho immense sacrifice of the country for the Victim Fund .

      It is most important that all parties should pay up their arrears immediately , and we further recommend that a return should be made of the exact number of paying members in each locality , by the sub-Secretarit 8 to the General Secretary , Mr . John Campbell , 180 , Holborn , and in the case of money orders being sent payable to Mr . Campbell , they ought to be drafted on the Bloomsbury post-office ; and we most particularly wish to draw your attention to the following suggestion , viz ., that each member when writing to the general Secretary would pay his letter , as it will make the postage much lighter ,

      and that the number of the street may be placed at the heads of each letter , in order that Mr . Campbell may have aa opportunity of answering such letter . We also tender our most sincere thanks to the Executive for their noble exertions in the people's cause , and most particularly to our worthy g _ ent ral Secretary , Mr . John Campbell , for tho strictness with with which he has kept the accounts of the Association . ( Signed ) Nov . 8 th , 1842 . John Sihp 3 ok , Auditor , Thomas Lucas , Auditor .

      BAIL COURT—Thursday , Not . 10 . THE QUEEN V . BADGER AND CABTWBIGHT . Mr . Justice Patteson delivered judgment in this case . Upon looking at the affidavits , his Lordship said , I find that the defendants were not only quite wrong in refusing bail on the grounds stated by them , but from the manner in which they refused it , the expressions they UBed at the time , and tho circumsiances that they S'ated , they had other reason ?

      which they did not choose to bring forward , though desired to do so ; and raised Buch a case as to justify the granting of a rulo calling on the magistrates to explain their conduct . The rule , however , must be against the two magistrates , aud not against all the five , becauso though the warrant of committal seems to have been signed by all the five , Badger and Cartwrlght seem the only two who refused the bail , and the other three do not seem to be implicated in any way in refusing bail . The rule , therefore , must be against those two only .
