      HOUSE OF COMM 0 NS .-Thcbo tat , Sbpt . 16 . The Speaker took the chair a few minutes before four o ' clock , at which time there was but a thin attendance of Members . Sir Frederick Pollock , Sir H . Harding * . Mr . Goulborn , Sir W . Follett , and some other Members of the new Administration , were , however , present . Sir Robert Feel entered the House shortly afterwards , and the Right Hon . Baronet , accompanied by the following members of his Ministry , advanced to the table , and took the oaths and subscribed the Parliamentary loll : —Sir W . Follett , Mr . H . Goulburn . Captain Boldero , Mr . Milnes Gaskell , Sir H . Hsrdinge , Sir F . PoUock , Colonel Jonathan Peel , Mr . Bingham Baring , Lord Ernest Bruce , Lord Jermyn , and J . A . Smith . Mr . Wm . £ . Gladstone immediately afterwards entered the House , and having advanced to the table , the oaths were administered to him , and the Right Hon . Gentleman subscribed the Parliamentary roll .

      Sir R . Peel explained his intentions in the House ot Commons . He is to move the remaining miscellaneous estimates , including a grant of between £ 80 , 000 and £ 90 , 000 for warming and ventilating the new Houses of Parliament , but that subject is first to be referred to a Committee to inquire into that alone . He is to provide for the renewal for a definite period , of those Acts which would expire with this Session , including the Poor Law , which he proposes to renew till next July . Mr . Goulbarn , the Chancellor of the Exchequer is to state on the first day of Ways and Means , not yet fixed , how he is to pro-Tide temporarily for the deficiency of the revenue £ 2 . 000 , 000 ; but Sir Robert will not now state what measures he regards as necessary to equalise the expenditure and the revenue , though that must be done . Neither will he now state what the Ministers will do to meet the commercial difficulties of the country , postponing these subjects till next

      session . Lord J . Russell said that he disapproved of Sir Robert's course , and on next day would state his reasons why the Ministers ought now to propose their measures . There will be some debate jet on the state of the country , though no doubt the confidence of the House will follow Sir R . Peel , and , in spite of protestations to the contrary , the deiights of shooting will carry away the Members from town and from their public duties . The House adjourned at an early hour .

      MANCHESTER—The meeting , called by the " Plague" for Thursday last , to memorialise the Queen not to prorogue Parliament till the Corn Laws had been taken into consideration , was all on one side , neither Tories nor Chartists considering the " humbug" as worth any attention . KEIGHLEY . —Mr . Leach , of Manchester , lectured on Wednesday evening , In the Working Men ' s Hall , to a large and attentive andience . The lecture was in Mr . Leach ' s u : ual style , clear , argumentative , and eloquent , and could not fail to convince all who heard it of the necessity of a change . Sixty new cards of membership were procured by the association , and two shillings were given by a few friends at Micklothvraite , near Bingley , for the imprisoned Chartists .

      IttOTTBAW . —Mr . John Campbell lectured at the Chartist meeting room , Holltngworth . on Sunday last , to a respectable and attentive audience , which gave the greatest satisfaction . After the address beveral patriotic members of the old association from Glossop , enrolled their names , and took cards of membership ; amongst those was the truly honest and patriotic Dr . Thornton , the indefatigable champion of the working man ' s rights . STJNDEBJ » ANT > . —Grandly goes the good causeon here . Since ourlaat we have been

      unexpectedly plunged into an election struggle , Mr . Alderman Thompson having accepted an invitation to stand a " walk in" at the family seat of the Lowthers , the County of Westmoreland . This step , on the part of the notoriously tricky Alderman , was a very prudent one , as the last election proceedings in Sunderland , when Mr . Binns was returned by a show of hands , perhaps unparalleled in number , and by comparison as a majority over the others , giving the Alderman most galling evidence that his reign of cant , humbug , and charity trickery , had drawn to a close . The Alderman , however , —

      " With that low cunning which in meaner breasts Eupplies , The better part of being wise , " had very nicely , as he thought , provided a Conservative successor . Accordingly the same mail , which brought the news of the cunning Alderman ' s retirement , brought also Mr . Wolverly Attwood , the late member for Durham , as his Buccessor . On Thursday last , Mr . Attwood arrived , and his party immediately commenced a vigorous canvas in his favour . The Whigs were also suddenly aroused from their general torpor , ' and finding their opponents had got the start of them by this manoeuvre they resolved by an unusual display of energy and promptitude , to endeavour to regain their lost

      ground . Accordingly , a deputation , by express , was despatched to Lord Howick , then at Howick Castle , to invite his Lordship to stand as their representative . What should we , the Chartists , do , was a question eagerly asked , and very promptly answered . It was resolved to send immediately for Colonel Thompson , for , in addition to the promises of supporting him received from a considerable number of electors on a former occasion , it was generally believed that Lord Howick would not condescend so low as to take a Borough , having like Morpeth the honour of having sat for a county , but like that Lord , also the mortification of being turned out by a commoner . On Thursday evening , therefore , Mr . Williams was dispatched to

      London , either for Col . Thompson , or any other gentleman holding our views , who was -willing to be put forward . Mr . W . left Darlington on Friday morning , and arrived in London the same evening . He immediately waited upon Mr . Cleave , to get his assistance in finding out Mr . O'Connor , to whom Mr . W . resolved to apply for information and advice . Mr . W . had painful proof of the vastnesa of the metropolis , having been occupied till half-past one on Saturday morning , along with Mr . Cleave , before Mr . O'Connor was found . When found , however , that gentleman immediately eutcred heart and soul into the mission , and above all other men , recommended Colonel Thompson , not perhaps the be 3 t man in every respect , but the best

      man to win with , and winning was our determination . On Saturday morning , as early as possible , Mr . Williams proceeded to Blackheath for the Col . ; having arrived he had the mortification of learning that the Colonel was not at home , that he was at Ramsg&te . Not a moment was to be lost—it was then noon , and the Colonel was seventy-two miles of . It was too late for steaming down and there was no other means but posting ; posting was a most expensive means and with the funds in pocket was impossible , but a gentleman immediately furnished the needful and off Mr . W . set for Ramsgate . He arrived there at night and found the Colonel , who

      after consideration , resolved to accept the invitation . Next morning tbt > y in company left Ramsgate for London , intending to catch the Sunday evening railway mail train for Sundered . They arrived about half an hour before the mail train started , but the Colonel , having then learnt that Lord Howick had accepted the invitation , and intended going to a poll , declined to proceed further . Mr . Williams was instructed to proceed on to -Sunderland , and to act as from circumstances might seem most advisable . When Mr . Williams arrived , he found that . the electors had been well canvassed by Mr . Binns and others , and the resalt was , that although a great number

      Untitled Article

      would have supported Colonel Tnompson , there was not a sufficient number to warrant the friends in patting the Gallant Colonel to the ezpenoe of a contest at present ; but from the assurances of support given by many most active and influential individuals wb * have acted with the Whigs , there appears no doubt that at the next vacancy his return will be safe . It was therefore resolved to put Mr . Binns in nomination , and to test the feeling respecting him bjr show of hands . Both parties nave been most anxious to have the Chartist aid , in one way or another , but the latter have wisely refused to mix themselves up at all with the mere faction fight , which from the means adopted ia meant to be gained by an enormous expenditure of money . We anticipate a glorious display for Mr . Binns . The nomination was on Wednesday , and the election on Thursday . We have not heard the result .

      Election Prospects . —Wednesday morning . Ab far as appearances go , Attwood , who is now in the field for the Conservatives , Dungannon having retired , will fight Lord Howick a close battle , and it is quite impossible to predict with any degree of certainty how it will go . It is a most extraordinary fact , that Alderman Thompson is now and has been for a few days past at Newcastle , only eleven miles distant , waiting with the greatest anxiety the result of the election , and aiding it by an enormous expenditure of money , yet he durst not show himself in Sunderland , bo deeply and so generally has his treacherous conduct made him hated .

      Tuesday Evening . —This evening , a Bplendid meeting was held in the Arcade Room , for the purpose of hearing information and advice respecting the policy to be pursued by the Chartists at the eleotion . ' Mr . Pierce was called to the chair , and opened the business well . Mr . Taylor , Mr . Binns , and Mr . Williams severally addressed the meeting . They stated that they were utterly unable to advise the Chartists whioh way to act . the principles and political characters of both candidates being unexceptionally bad . Mr . Williams and Mr . Binns then detailed interviews they had had with both parties , which created a great deal of amusement and some astonishment also .

      Lii » e Boat House , Sunday . —On Sunday afternoon , upwards of 1 . 000 people assembled at the Life Boat House , when Mr- Binns delivered an able and interestimg address . The greatest anxiety for news respecting the Colonel was manifested , but up to this time none had been received . Accordingly , it was re 3 olved to hold another meeting in the evening at the same place . At six o ' clock , the hour appointed , there was an extraordinary number assembled . It was computed there would be about three thousand present . Mr . Binns , Mr . Taylor , and Mr . Richmond severally addressed the meeting , but great disappointment was felt at the non-receipt of any intelligence respecting Colonel Thompson . It was , therefore , resolved to bold another meeting on Tuesday evening .

      Glorious Meeting . —On Friday evening last , a meeting of the most thrilling character was held in the Arcade Room , when after able addresses from Messrs . Binns , Bragg , and others , the following resolutions were moved and carried : — "That this meeting , having seen a bill issued by the Whigs , requesting the electors to withhold their support from Lord Dungannon , hereby expresses its approval of the same , and calls upon the electors to withhold their support from any man , whether representing Whigs or Tories .

      " That this meeting is determined to give the Tory Parliament a proof that the people of Sunderland are dissatisfied with the mis-rule of faction ; and it pledges itself to hold no parley with men or parties who will not strike a blow at the despotism that grinds us to the dust . " The meeting also resolved to await the return of Mr . Williams from London , and that they would support no candidate but an outan-out reformer . A committee of Chartist electors and non-electors was also chosen , and every arrangement made to carry on the eleotion .

      Bribery . —A friiend of Mr . W . Attwood , the Tory oandidato , Sunderland , the other day , waited on Mr . George Binns , and made overtures to him to persuade the Chartists to support Mr . A . The fellow was told to call again , which he did , and in the presence of Mr . Williams and other persons , agreed to pay £ 125 on the support of the Chartists being given . It was then arranged that he should meet them again in the evening , which he did , when he narrowly escaped being tarred and feathered , but was sent away with the remark , that the Chartists of Sunderland , though poor , were honest , audthat his employer , though " a highly respectable London merchant , " wa 3 yet a most unprincipled scoundrel .

      BRISTOL . —The ice of Chartism was broken under rather favourable circumstances , on Monday evening last , at Kingswood-hill , near Bristol . The Chartists assembled , with Vincent at their head , and , as if by magic , the weather , which has for some time been rather against out-door meetings , turned out most propitious . A cart was the platform , and from it was expounded Chartism to about 10 C 0 or 1500 people , composed of parsons , magistrates , doctors , lawyers , shopkeepers , rural policemen , and working people . Mr . Joseph Ennis took the chair , and introduced Mr . Tudor , who moved the following : — " That we are of opinion that an alteration in

      the present system of representation is requisite , and the Charter contains the principles necessary to seoare universal equality of rights to the people of these realms , and we pledge ourselves to do our utmost towards adding to the signatures of any petition in favour of the People ' s Charter . Mr . Copp ably seconded the same . The next resolution was a vote of thanks to Shaman Crawford and his glorious minority of thitry-nine , proposed by Mr . Simeon , seoonded by Mr . Bloore , and ably supported by Mr . H . Vincent in his usual style . The meeting was most unanimous , and broke up in a peaceful and orderly manner .

      Clark , and Mary his wife , were charged at the Court House , with having stolen a quantity of wearing apparel and other articles , from the dwellinghouse of George Blakey , in Vienna-street . The robbery was effected on Monday night , during the absence of the prosecutor , and the goods were found in the house of the prisoners . They were both committed for trial . Death bt Drowning . —On Monday morning last , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Walker , the Junction Inn , New Road End , before J . Blackburn , E ? q ., on view of the body of William Spencer , forty years of age . The deceased , it appears , has

      been for some time out of employment , and on Sunday morning he had accompanied one of the prespers in the employ of Mr . Glover , cloth-dresser , Wellington Road , to the shop , to assist him in making the fires . Their work having been completed , the deceased stripped himself to go into the river to bathe ; he jumped from the branch of a tree , and swam nearly to the other side , when it is supposed he was seized with cramp , for he was observed to struggle , but 6 unk , and was drowned before assistance could be rendered to him . He was got out , and medioal assistance was promptly obtained , without avail . Verdict— " Accidentally drowned . "

      Robbery of a Lhtle Gihl . —On Monday afternoon a little girl , who resides with Mrs . Towler . at Sunny Bank , was going from that place , to the house of her mother , in East King-Btreet , Bank , with a bundle containing some articles of wearing apparel , when she was met by a woman in Upperhead-row , who told her that her mother was waiting for her , and who took the bundle from her , and walked off with it so quick that the girl was not able to keep up with her . It is needless to say that she has not been since heard of . The things in the bundle consisted of a slate coloured eilk frock , partly made , velvet for a bonnet , a woman ' B cap trimmed with blue , and a green and black plaid shawl .

      Stealing Shoes . —On Monday last , Ann Aruitt , was charged before the magistrates , at the Court House , with having stolea a pair of stuff shoes from a fata 11 in Briggate , the property of Thomas Shooter . The prisoner was seen to steal tha shoes , and was directly given into custody , with the shoes in her possession . Committed for trial .

      ADJOURNED GENERAL SESSIONS AT WAKEFIELB . APPLICATION OF A CHARTIST . Oft Wednesday last , at noon , an Adjourned Sessions of the West-Riding was held at Wakefield , the Rev . J . A . Rhodes in the chair , for the purpose of agreeing upon a site for a new House of Correction , or of determining upon the enlargement of the present one . ' . ¦ A

      _ _ ... . , , At a former Sessions a Committee had been appointed , and they now reported that Ihey had examined some five or six sites , ail of which were cither ineligible on account of their great price , or some other drawback . The site of the present one , therefore , with an addition of some seven or eight acres , was recommended , provided the addition could be reasonably obtained ; and to give tima for further arrangements , the question and the Sessions were adjourned till the 13 th of October next . This business having been disposed of ,

      The Chairman said he understood that one of the prisoners wished to make some application to them , and , with the concurrence of the other magistrates , requested Mr . Shepherd , the governor of the gaol , to let him come before them . William Ash ton , one of the Chartist prisoners , then made his appearance . He was dressed in the prison dress of grey frieza . He was very stout , and with the exception of an affection of one of his eyes , whioh he said had begun on the previous night , he appeared to be very healthy . His deportment before the magistrates was firm and manly , but at the same time not uncourteous .

      The Chairman asked—How long have you been in prison t Wm . Ashton—I have been eighteen months in prison and have six months to stay . I wish to be allowed the use of writing materials . I have not been allowed their use since I came in , and have sustained a great iojury in consequence . I can neither improve my mind in one way or another . Mr . Shepherd—He has been allowed pen , ink , and paper to write to his friends . The Chairman—He wants the use of these materials to put down his thoughts aa they arise , I suppose . How do you mean to exercise them ! Ashton— -O ! as I think proper . The Chairman—Yes ; but at what times I mean ! Ashton—Only when I have a leisure moment . The Chairmau— You do not mean to forego your labour I

      Ashton—O ! no . The Chairman ( addressing himself to the magistrates)—The difficulty I feel is this . This person has been guilty of a misdemeanour . There are at present a great number of other persons in this prison convicted of misdemeanours , and without reference to the nature ot his misdemeanour , undergoing similar punishment , I do not know how we should be justified in granting this privilege to one , and withholding it from others . How far we should be justified in granting it to all , is matter of serious consideration . ( To Ashton)—If you have any other applications to make , you had better state them , and then we will determine what answer to give to them .

      Ashton—I wish for the privilege of seeing my friends more than one at a time . The rule says , that a prisoner may see his friends once a month , and I do not think it says or implies anything about iiis only seeing one at a time . However Mr . Shepherd restricts it to one . I wish one to be allowed to come with my wife . 1 have a great many relations , onehalf of whom I shall not have the pleasure of seeing during the term of my confinement . I think this , is a hardship that you might relax in some degree . The Chairman—You had better proceed if you have any further applications to make .

      Ashton—The chaplain has refused me a certain description of books , and this , together with the want of writing , makes my situation like that of a man buried alive . I cannot occupy the whole of my time in reading religious books , and these are nearly the only kind of books I am permitted to see . 1 have one other remark to make as to seeing my friends . I am compelled to see them through grates . I wish to see them m a room ; I do not care if there be twenty officers present . You may think these frivolous things , but they are serious to a man who has two years to serve .

      The Chairman—Certainly ; but these things are a sort of restraint that are intended as a kind of punishment . Askton—I wish to have permission to have any kind of books , whether political or not , so long as they are not immoral . The Rev . W . T . Alderson , the Chaplain—The principal reason why Ashton applies for books is , that other prisoners , in other prisons , have the privilege . Ashton—Men of my class of offenders , if I must call myself an offender , are treated in other prisons bo differently from what they are here , that it seems invidious . Here we are all under the same regulations as the felons .

      The Chairman—I should address myself to the court in this way . This person has been guilty of a > misdeameauour , what that misdeameanour was , we should not permit ourselves to think , but how does tho law intend misdemeanants to be treated ? Ashton—Admitting that I have committed an offence , which I deny myself , I think there ought to be certain proportions of punishment awarded to certain crimes , and not all to be classed together . * The Chairman—We are to enforce the law . Ashton—My sentence was to be confined in the gaol at Wakefield for two years . You then make rulea here .

      The Chairman—But yon do not put the thing as it really is , as I dare say you desire to do . Ash ton—Yes . The Chairman—The Judge passes these rules , and therefore he knows to what punishment he is sentencing you . Ashton—I do not know , gentlemen , whether I am sufficiently plain for you to understand me . The Chairman—( Laughing . )—I should say you are almost too much so . Ashton—I make another application . Tho visiting magistrates give ua free permission to provide

      our own food . I have not done so because 1 do not wish to be under an obligation to my friends . Latterly , there has been an alteration in the diet , which has affected me considerably . I feel a deal worse since the alteration , not from any deficiency of the food , but from the way it affects my stomach . I wish you to grant mo permission to receive somu assistance from my friend ? , without being compelled to receive all . The food gives mo the heart- burn every day , and I have been very bad in the head . The doctor has given me plasters for it .

      The Chairman—What is the particular food of which you complain ! Ashton—I think there has been too much vegetable food . I have had pretty good health 6 ince I have been in , and I wish to keep in good health if I can . These were the wholo of the applications which Ashton had to make , and the Magistrates desired that he would withdraw while they considered them . A long desultory conversation then took place between the Magistrates , Mr . Shepherd , Mr . Dunn , the surgeon , and Mr . Alderson , the chaplain to the prison . Ultimately , Ashton was recalled , and asked whether his application as to books wa 3 for more varied reading , or for readii-g of a different religious character . Ashton replied that lie wished lor more varied rending . Mr . Holdsworth—Are there any particular books you wish !

      Ashton—I could name a few . There are many novels of a historical kind , works that no gentleman would debar his daughter from reading . Mr . C . Beckett—You must bear this in mind , ihat others cau make the same application , and they may bo reading from morning to night . The Chairman—Then as to your food . Mr . Dunn is responsible to us for your health , and we aro as anxious for the good health as for the safe keeping of tho prisoners . Mr . Dunn—Whenever he has made cornph- ' ut , Ashtou is aware that ha has always had Iiis food altered .

      The Chairman—If your application be to have part of your food from your friends and par : from tho gaol allowance , I apprehend it is not in our power to do it . If you take the gaol allowance you must take it altogether , otherwise you must be supplied entirely by your friends . Ashton—I observed to Mr . Dunn , that I thought it was not proper , by litting a man become ill from improper food , to let him keep falling down and then pull him up again . I gaid I thought that was injurious to tho constitution ; of course he knows best . Ashton was then again requested to withdraw , and another consultation took place , when the following determination was arrived at by the Magistrates , Ashton being called in to hear it read : — 1 st application—To be allowed the use of writing p&per to set down his thoughts . Not allowed . 2 nd application—To see more than one friend at a time . Allowed .

      3 rd . application—To see his friends otherwiso than through the grate . Allowed within the limits of the rule . 4 th application—To be allowed more varied reading . Ordered to be supplied with books at the discretion of the Chaplain and of Mr . Holdsworth . 5 th application—To be allowed to receive part of his food from the gaol allowance and part from his friends . Ordered that Mr . Dunn give such food as his ease may require ; but the Court cannot allow food from two sources . Ashton then withdrew , without any further observation .

      Huddebsfibld Cloth Mabket , Tuesdat . —The business done in the Hall to-day has been somewhat less than last week . A continued gloom appears to hang over the whole market .

      Newcastle Cork Markee , Shit . 11 th . —With the exception of Tuesday and Thursday , the weather has been fine during the week ; and although a very great deal of Wheat has been cut . yet little or nothing has been housed , and the bulk of the few samples of our own growth at market this morning were in very bad condition , and sold at prices varying from 42 s . to 66 s . per quarter . A few shipments of new Wheat have got in from Norfolk , the best red samples of which sold at 70 s . per quarter , 631 bs . per

      bushel . There is but little old English Wheat offering now ; nevertheless it must be noted 2 _ . to 83 . per . quarter lower than this day se ' nnight . In bonded nothing doing . Rye is Is . per quarter lower . Barley meets with a ready sale , and old English is much wanted . In Beans and Peas there is no change . Malt maintains its value . We had a good supply of Oats today , and prices gave way Is . per quarter . Flour is a very heavy sale , and again la , to 2 s . per sack lower .

      Salford Cattle Market , Wednesday , Sept . IS . —The show of Beasts to-day was about that of last week , but of Sheep and Lambs the supply was rather better . The demand for Beef was quite equal to the show , and all sold at the rates of last week . Mutton and Lamb still maintain the fall rates of last week , owing to there being plenty of buyers at market . Best Beef 6 'd . to 6 } ., Lambs 7 d ,, Mutton 6 £ d . te 7 d ., middling 6 d . to 6 _ jd . London Corn Exchange , Monday . —There was a limited supply of Wheat , Barley , Beans , and Peas , from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk for this day ' s market ; a few vessels with Oats have arrived since Friday from our own coast and Ireland , and the import of

      foreign grain has been large during the past week . Up to Thursday the weather was unsettled , but since then it has been very fine here , the past three days Bplendid—a hot sun accompanied with a brisk breeaa from the eastward yesterday and this morning . — There was scarcely one sample of old English Wheat in this day ' s supply from the home counties , and the quantity of new being so limited , a good demand was experienced , and the prices of this day se ' nnight were fully supported ; and notwithstanding that all the foreign Wheat will be liberated next Thursday , combined with the present beautiful weather , and favourable wind for increased supplies , yet rather more money was demanded for all heavy qualities , with less disposition to force Bales , and a fair extent of business was transacted , somewhat over the prices

      of last Monday generally , with an advance of Is to 2 s per quarter on choice white Dant 3 ic and heavy red Rostock . Ship Flour was the turn lower , with a slow sale . Barley was without alteration in value good grinding being in moderate request . Malt was dull sale , but prime qualities were not lower . Bean . were takeu off at last week's prices . Peas met a moderate demand , at quite as much money ; Impsrial Blues for Scotland realising high prices . There was a very dull sale for Oats , the large dealers holding off ; the demand is mostly confined to the consumers , who secured what they wanted 6 d to Is per quarter under last Monday ' s currency . Linseed continues scarce and dear . Rapeseed much the same as last week in value , and taken in small qualities by the seedsmen . Mustard was in short supply , and about the same in price .

      London Smithfield Market , Monday , SEr . 13 . —Owing to the supply of Beasts on sale in to-day' 3 maket being great , and of very superior quality , tbe weather unfavourable to slaughtering , and the attendance ol dealers limited , the Beef trade was excessively dull , at an abatement in the currencies noted on Monday last of from 2 d . te 4 d . per 81 b . and a largo portion of the arrivals left the market unsold . From Scotland , we received 200 Scots , and 400 Sheep

      frc&h up by steam-packets . Although , the numbers of Sheep offering were limited , the inquiry for them was in a sluggish state , but no depression was submitted to in tho quotations , the pritnest old Dawnbeing held at 5 s . per 8 . b . As the Lamb season may now bo considered over , we have discontinued to make any distinction between the prices of Lamb and Mutton ; Calves wero amending , and 4 d . per 81 b . cheaper . In Pigs scarcely anything doing , and the rates were 2 d . lower .

      Richmond Corn Market , Sept . 11 . —There was a very thin supply of Grain in our market to-day ; tbe samples of new Wheat were very soft . Wheat sold from 10 s to 11 s 6 d ; New ditto , 7 s CJ to 8 j 6 dj Oats , 2 s lOd to 4 s ; Barley , 4 s 6 d to 5 s ; Beans , 5 s 6 & to 6 s per busheh Howden Corn Market , Sept . 11 . —There was * moderate supply of Grain at our market to-day , »* tho following prices : —Wheat 64 s 5 d ; Oats , 203 } Beans , 42 s per quarter .

      DC-NCASTER MEETING , Mokdat , Sxpt . 13 . Tbe year has again wheeled round , utd it is now ocr duty to lsy before oar readers s concise account of tbe doings at tbe once far-famed Boacastar Rue * . Bat in the outset we must refer to Mine partiealars connected trith the maefcin * , which are not VBry creditable to the parties consented . To those of our readen who take Mintereit in iportin ? matters , it win be well knoim that drcmnit&neea hare oee&zred e&Ieoi&ted to dim the lustre and mar tbe attzftcticm that , until late yaars , has existed irita respect to theseBacea . In the first place , through some unaccountable remissneas , no Stewards were appointed at tbe last Races , as has invariably bees the custom , and so confident were tbe parties whose < Jnty it -ns to look after them , that no difficulty "would

      » rcnr in tbe acceptance of the office by some Nobleman or Oeatiem&n , that it was not until within a very few itaets back that it was found oat that some effort was Beoessary to be made to secure two gentlemen vh » -would act , and it is a positive fact that the Town Clerk hi * trvrelled sear a thousand miies to nod a coadjutor to Lord Maidstone , who consented to be put in nomiaatjon as one of the Stewards . Lord MOten , to whom application was made , refused , on the ground that racin ? was not now conducted as formerly , otherwise the Noble Lord -would nave only been too proud of the honour . Now it is well known th » t racing is not condnc ' . sd in that straightforward and honourable- m&nner that it ought to be , and the Planipo and Bloom&bury affairs , and no later than last year , the palpable

      defections of Maroon and Calyp 80 . either of whom could hare won tho Leger , have in n « tray tended to the restoration of the popularity of racing . These facts are too glaring sad stand forth too conspicuously to be denied , and if this was the sole reason of his Lordship ' s refusal , ire must say ire cannot , as impartial journalists , censure him . But it has been said th » t this was not the ouly reason -why bis Lordship refused , and that cireamstaB © 88 of Tery recent occurrence , tnd fresh in the nemory of oar readers , had an influence vrilh Lord Hilton , which , if true , ought certainly not to have presented his acceptance of the office . Be this as it may , it itm not until a fortnight ago that it was announced that Sir Charles Ibbeteon , Bart , had , in conjunction with Lord Maidstone , accepted the office .

      Thit some alteration must be made is evident , and we trooid suggest that the expenoe of having to proride a cap , as has heretofore been the ease , be takeu off tbe stewards , and that some noblemen or gentlemen be appointed during the then race week for the forthcoming year , and ire will venture to say that little or no difficulty will then occur . Some alterations must also be made with respect to the races themselTes , and mor « especially as regards the cup , the entries for which were smaller than had been known for many yean , and aUo . for mort of the otker stakes that closed on tbe 11 th lost . The bungling ef the Corporation , who hare been a great deal too parsimonious , and only caais out more liberally at the eleventh hour , and when th « y were obliged to do se , or haye very few races at ail , and eou £ « quently considerably lass company than usual , must in future be prevented . In fact , a new spirit must be infused into the r&ces -. no time should be lost in

      forming an active committee , as iu ether towns . Handicap * , which are now all the rage , must be introduced . If any proof were wanting of this it is to be found in the entry for the innkeepers' Handicap exceeding that for the Cap and all the other stakes that closed on Tbnrsday week . The Cup should be made a handicap , aimiliT to the Liverpool , Newcastle , and other cups . The town , and especially the corporation , mu&t contribute more liberally , and begin earlier than they have doae before . The stakes should also be advertised more frequently , and other minor affairs attended te , or the races will further decline in popularity . We observe that it has been suggested that the racing should be reduced to four days ; to this we do not agree , as the baneful effects ot reductions in the number of days in other places , especially York , where they have gradu ally receded from seven to two days , with even then sport only barely sufficient for one day , has been felt .

      The -weather , this day , was beautifully fine , and much hotter than it has been for many years . Tbe number of races announced on the card was fur , while only three c&me off . Great dissatisfaction was felt at this . Boe ' s"Wrag has farmed the JKtxwilliaia Stiies tor a number of years , and was again entered this year , with only one solitary competitor , who declined to run with so formidable an antagonist , consequently there was , for the iixat time , we b * lieve , no race f ot the stake , The -Queen ' s Plate wss also walked orer for . "Why this should be allowed we cannot tail Sorely the public monty should not be squandered away in any such manner . Why sot have a condition that three horses should start , or no rice 7 At all events some alteration ought to be made , as it is ridiculous to allow these prises to be so often walked over for . The attendance of compan ? on the course was much thinner th * . n for m&py years . "We now proceed to give a description of the sport , such ask was : —

      TTESDAT , September , 14 , The day on which the great and important race , the St- Leger was to come off , opened with a bright and nndouded sky , and continued delightfully fine during the whale of the day , indeed it was more like a July day than a September one . Previous to the race for the St . Legar a pleasant breeze sprung up , and continued during the afternoon . The sport was excellent , both as regards quantity and quality . The race fcr ihe Innkeepers' Handicap , Triich brought eight to the post , and was a very pretty cs =, - was an appropriate

      At five minutes to three o ' clock the bell rung for saddling « . Tiri clearing the course , and Coronation was the first to make his appearance on the course , looking yexj welL He was shortly followed by Satirist , Tan Amburgh , The Squire , and the rest of the eleven . After parading , as usual , in front of the Stand , the lot made their appearance at the starting-post Tbe first attempt to get off was , however , " no go , " The Squire , C&ttonian , and Van Amburgb , being the only ones that got off . The second attempt was mote fortunate , as a most beautiful start was effected . Cattonian took the

      lead followed by Van Amburgh second , and Satirist third , Coronation and the Squire being outside , and tke rest behind , Galaor being in the rear . In t his position they raa until near the Cross Road , be ' ore reaching the foot of the hill , when Coronation took the lead , moving strong running , closely followed by Van Amburgh , Satirist , Cattonian , The Squire , and Pagan . After passing the hill , The Squire nearly sustained a fail , and ran as if he was going to come down for a stride or two , by which be lost his foremost place , and was from tkis point , near the T . T . C . starting post to the Red House , nearly the last horse , whan he made his ground , and rejoined the front horses . Coronation continued to lead , at a steady good pace , with Tan , Satirist , The Squire , Cattonian , and Pagan also well up . At the Inlock Cairn Cattonian ' s career was at an end , as he fell back , and declined further contest At the Old Rails Satirist came dose up to the crack ,

      and ran with him to the distance . The Squire being close at hand . Here Satirist took the lead from Coronation , -wsa never after headed , and won very cleverly by half a neck , the crack appearing at the but to run very dead in Day's bind . The Squire ran in a good third , about a length behind the two , and clear of the rest Pagan was fourth , Ermengardis fifth , Van Amburgh sixth , and Jack Sheppard seventh . The race was run in tkree minutes , and trenty-one seconds . The value of the stakes is £ 3 , 475 . The Marquis of Westminster is most truly a fortunate man , having last year ran second for the Derby , and first and second for the St Leger , and this year he has ran second for the Derby , 2 nd won the O&ks and St Leger . Truly may it be said that money almost always runs to the greatest heap . Scott is not less fortunate than the Marquis , for in twenty years he has won eight Legers , four of them successively , six of which have been trained by the no less celebrated trainer , Mr . John Scott , his brother .

      Coronation was brought down by van and rail , and took np his abode at Thriburgh Park , near Doncaster , where he remaiaed until the morning of the race , when he was brought per van to Doncaster , and placed in a a stable in the lane leading from the Thome road , into the Town ' s-neld , from whencehe came to start . It is said that he had not had a gallop since the preceding Friday , and to this circumstance bis defeat is attributed .

WEDNESDAY , Septehber 15 .

      Wednesday generally furnishes a poor day' 3 sport , but it seldom presented such a miserable one as it did this week , there being two walks over out of the four races announced , and the Corporation Plate , being only the shadow of a race without any Bemblance , still further reduced the quantity . We think that the Innkeepers' Handicap onght to have beea preserved for this day , as the St . LegeT is sufficient attraction for one day , but the Doncastrians decided otherwise . There was an average Wednesday ' s attendance of company , and tbe weather was fine . Tbe following is a return of the sport such as
