      DONCASTEB MEETING , Mosdat , Skpi , 13 . Th « jeat hat again wheeled round , and it is now ocr duty to lay before oar readers a condM account of the doings at the onee fcr-kmed Doncarter R&oet . Bat In the outset in nuut refer to wme particular * connected "Witt the meeting , which are sot rery creditable to the partiea eoaeetaed . To those of oar reader * ^ rhotske sn interest ia porting matters , it will be 'well known that dreamitaaees have oeenrted calculated to dim tbe lustre and mar the attraction that , until late y « an , has existed with respect to these Baces . In the firrt place , throiurhsome noaooountable remiwnesg , no Stewards were appointed at the last Races , as has invariably been the custom , and so confident were the parties whose

      duty it was to look after them , that bo difficulty would » -ocr in the acceptance of the offiae by some Nobleman of trtntJeman , that it was not until within a very few creeks back that it was found oat thai . some effort was necessary to be made to secnre two gentlemen wbe would act , and it is apositiTB tact that the Town Clerk his travelled near a tkousand miles to find a coadjutor to Lord Maidstone , who consented to be put in nomination as oca of the Stewards . Lord Milten , to whom application was made , refused , on the ground , that racia ? was not now conducted as formerly , otherwise tbe Noble Lord would hare only been too proud of the honour , liow it is well known thst racing ia not condttcis-i in that straightforward and honourable manner that it ought to be , aad the Plenipo and Bloomsbury

      &ttairs , aad no later than last year , the palpable defections of Maroon and Calypso , either of whom could Lstp iron the Leger , hare in ae way tended to the restoration of the popularity of racing . These facts are too glaring and stand forth too conspicuously to be dc-risd , and if this \ ras the seU reason of hi 3 Lordship ' s refosil , we Bust say we cannot , as impartial journalists , ctnsure Mm . But it has been said that this was not tie only reason why his Lordship refused , and that circumstances of yery recent occurrence , and fresh in the xiemory of our readers , had an influence with Lord Hilton , which , if true , ought certainly not to have prevented his acceptance of the office . Be this as it may , it w not until a fortnight ago that it was announced that Sir Charles Ibbstson , Bart , had ,

      in conjunction with Lord Maidstone , accepted the oSee . Titat some alteration must be made is evident , and we would suggest that the erpence of having to provide a cup , as has heretofore been the case , be taken off the stewards , and that some noblemen or gentlemen be appuiav <> i during the then race week for the forthcoming year , and we will venture to say that little or no difficulty will then occur . Some alterations must also be made with respect to the races themselves , and more especially as regards the cup , the entries for which were smaller than had been known for many years , and also for most of the otker stakes that closed on the 11 th iart . The bungling ef the Corporation , who have been a great deal too parsimonious , and only cam a out more liberally at the eleventh hour , and when they were obliged to do so , or have very few races at all , and consequently considerably less company than usual , must ia future be prevented . In fact , a new spirit must be infused into tiie races : no tires should be lost in

      forming en active committee , as ia etser towns . Handicaps , -which are now all the rage , must be introduced . If any proof were wanting of tins it ? s to be found in the entry for the innkeepers' Handicap exceeding that for the Cup and all the othw stakes that closed on Thursday week . The Cup should be made a handicap , similar to the Liverpool , Newcastle , and other . cups . The town , and especially the corporation , must contribute more liberally , and begin earlier than they have done before . The stakes should also be advertised more frequently , and other minor aSairs attended te , or the races will further decline in popularity . We observe that it lias been snggeeted that the racing should be raenced to four days ; to this we do not agree , as the baneiiU effects of redactions 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 , bas been ffcis .

      The weather , this day , was beautifully fine , and much hotter than it has been for many years . The number of x& £ c 3 announced on the card was s : ' * , while onlyiiree « une ofi . Great dissatisfaction was fe ' . t at this . Bee's-Wing has farmed the Pitswilliam Slikes far a number of years , and was . again entered this year , with only cue jultsary competitor , who declined to tun with so forsuu&bie an antagonist , consequently there was , for the cjii . time , we believe , no nee fur the fet&ke . The Queen " * Plate wsa also walked over for . Why this ahodd be allowed we cannot telL Sorely the public money should no . be squandered away in any such manner . Why not have a condition that three horses should Stiri , or no race ? At sii tveais some alteration ought to be made , as it is ridiculous to allow these prises to be so cf : en walked over far . The attendance of comply on the coarse was cinch thinner than for maty jears . "We now proceed to give a description of xhs spsrt , such asit was : —

      At five minutes to three o ' clock the bell rung for Baddliag and clearing the course , and Coronation was the first to make hU appearance on the course , looking very welL He w * s shortly followed by Satirist , Van Amburgh , The Squire , and the rest of the eleven . After parading , as osu »! , in front of the Stand , the lot made their appearance at the starting-post The first attempt to get off was , however , " no go , " The Squire , Cattonian , and Van Amburgh , being the only ones that got off . The second attempt was more fortunate , as a most beautiful start was eS&cted . Cattonian took the

      lead followed by Van Amburgh second , and Satirist third , Coronation and the Squire being outside , and the rest behind , Galaor being in tha rear . In t ; his position they ran usitil near the Cross Road , bt / ore reaching the foot of the hill , when Coronation took the lead , making Btrong running , closely followed by Van Amburgh , Satirist , Cattonian , The Squire , and Pagan . After passing the bill , The Squire nearly sustained a fail , and ran as if he was going to come down for a stride or two , by which he lost his foremost place , and was from this point , n&ar the T . Y . C . starting post to the Rdd House , nearly the last horse , whtn he made his ground , and rejoined the front horses . Coronation continued to lead , at a steady good pace , with Van , Satirist , The Squire , Cattonian , and Pagan also weU up . At the Inlock farm Cittonion ' s career was at an end , as ho fell back , and declined further contest At the Old Rails Satirist came close up to the crack ,

      and ran with him to the distance . The Squire being close at hand . Here Satirist took the lead from Coronation , was never after headed , and won very cleverly by half a neck , the crack appearing at the last to run very dead in Day ' s hand . The Squire tun 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 Sbeppard seventh . The race was run in three minutes , and tirenty-one seconds . The value of the Btakes i 3 £ 3 , 475 . The Maiquia 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 , and won the Oiks and St Lager . 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 bas 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 raii , and took up his abode at Thriburgh Paxk , near Doncaster , ¦ where he remained until tie morning of the race , when he was brought per van to Doncaster , and placed in a a stable in the lane leading from the Tnorna ro&d , into the Town ' s-field , from whencehe came to start . It is said that he had not had a gallop since tbe preceding Friday , and to this circumstance his defeat is attributed .

      Wednesday generally furnishes a poor day a sport , but it seldom presented such a miserable one as tt did this week , there being two walks over out of the four races announced , and tho Corporation Piate , being only the shadow of a race without any semblance , still further reduced the quantity . "We tbiuk that the Innkeepers' Handicap ought to have been preserved for this day , as the Si . Leger is sufficient attraction for one day , but the Doncastrians decided otherwise . There was an average Wednesday ' s attendance of company , and the weather was Sue . The folio wing is a return of the sport such as it was : — The Foal Stakes of 100 sovs each , h ft .

      HOUSE OF C 0 MM 0 NS . —THOBMUT , Sbpt . 16 . The Speaker took the chair a few tainutes before four o ' clock , at which time there -was but a thin attendance of Members . Sir Frederick Pollock , Sir H . Hardinge . 3 Vlr » Gonlburn , Sit W : FoUett , and some other Members of the new Administration , were , however , present . Sir Robert Peel entered the House shortly afterwards , and the Right Hon . Baronet , accompanied by tbe following members of his Ministry , advauced to the table , and took the oaths and subscribed the Parliamentary roll : —Sir W . Follett , Mr . H . Gonlbarn . Captain Boldero , Mr . Milnes Gaskell , Sir H . Hardinge , Sir F . Pollock , Colonel Jonathan Peel , Mr . Biugham B&rinff , Lord Ernest Brace , Lord Jermyn , and J . A . Smith .

      Mr . Wm , £ . Gladstone immediately afterwards entered tho 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 of 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 . Goulburn , the Chancellor of the Exchequer is to state on tho first day of Ways and Means , not yet fixed , how he is to provide 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 norr 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 be disapproved of Sir Robert ' s course , and on next day would state bis reasons why the Ministers ought now to propose their measures . There will be some debate yet 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 tbe contrary , the delights 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 u Plague" for Thursday last , to memorialise the Queen not to prorogue Parliament till the Corn Laws had bees taken into consideration , was all on one « ide , neither Tories ner Chartists considering the " humbug" as worth any attention . KEIGHLEY . —Mr . Leach , of Manchester . lectured on Wednesday eveniug , 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 neissity of a change . Sixty new cards of membcrshj > were procured by the association , and two shillings were given by a few friends at MicklettmaHe , near Bingley , for the imprisoned Chartists .

      SttOTTBAM . —Mr . John Campbell lectured at the Chartmi meeting room , Hollingwortb . on Sunday last , to a respectable and attentive audience , which gave the greatest satisfaction . After the ad cress several 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 . STJTTDEXLLAND . —Grandly goes the good cauacuii here . Since ourlast 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 tbe Lowthers , the County of Westmoreland . This step , on tho part of the notoriously tricky Alderman , was a very prudent one , as the last election proceedings in Sunderlaad , when Mr . Binn 3 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 evidenco that his reign of cant , humbug , and charily trickery , had drawn to a close . The Alderman , however , —

      " With that low cunniBg -which in meaner breasts supplies , The bitter 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 tuccassor . On Thursday last , Mr . Attwood arrived , and his party immediately commenced a vigorous canvas in his lavour . The Whigs were also Buddenly 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 Ho wick Castle , to invite his Lordship to stand a 3 their representative . What should we , the Chartists , do , was a question eagerly aiked , 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 oooasion , it was generally believed that Li > rd Howick would not condescend so low as to take a Borough , Laving 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 othtr gentleman holding our views , who was willing to be put forward . Mr . W . left Darlington on Friday morning , and arrived in London tlio tame evening . He immediately waited upon Mr . Cleave , to get his assistance in finding out Mr . O'Connor , to whom Mr . W . resolved to appiy for information and advice . Mr . W . had painful proof of ihe yastness of the metropolis , haviDg been occupied till half-past one on Saturday icorniDg , along with Mr . Cleave , before Mr . 0 'Ci > nuor was found . Whea found , however , that gentleman immediately entered heart and soul into tha mission , and above all other men , recommended Colonel Thompson , not perhaps the best 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 Biackheath for the Col . ; haviDg arrived he had the mortification of learning that the Colonel was not at home , that he waa at Ramsgate . Not a moment was to be lost—it waB then noon , and the Colonel was seventy-two mile 3 of . It was too late for steaming down and there was no other means but posting ; porting 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 , f ideraion

      ater cons t , resolved to accept the invitation . Next morning they in company left Ramagate for London , intending to catch the Sunday evening railway mail train for Sunder ' aad , They arrived about half an hour before the mail train started , but the Colonel , having then learnt that Lord Howick had atcepted the invitation , and intended going to a poll , declined to proceed further . Mr . Williams was instructed to proceed on to Suuderland , and to act as from circumstances might seem most advisable . When Mr . Williams arrived , he found that the electors had been ttell canvassed by Mr . Binns and othere , and the result was , tliat although a great number

      would have supported Colonel Tnompson , then was not a sufficient number to warran t the friends in putting the Gallaflt Colonel to the expence of a contest at present ; . but from the assurances of support giren by many most actire and influential individuals who have acted with the Whigs , there appears no donbt that at the next vacancy his return will be safe . It was therefore resolved to put Mr . Binq ? in nomination , and to test the feeling respecting him by show of hands . Both parties have been most anxious to have the Chartist aid , in one tray or another , but the latter have wisely refused to mix themselves up at ail with the mere faction fight , which from the means adopted is meant to be gained by an enormous expenditure of money . We anticipate a glorious display for Mr . Binns . The nomination was on Weddesday , and the election on Thursday . We have not heard the result .

      Election Prospects . —Wednesday morning . As far as appearances go , Attwood , who is now in the field for the Conservatives , Dungannou . having retired , will fight Lord Howiok a close battle , and it la quite imposssible 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 , so deeply and so generally has bis treacherous conduct made him hated .

      Tuesdav Evening . —This evening , a splendid 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 election . Mr . Pierce was called to the chair , and opened the business well . Mr . Taylor , Mr . Binns , and M r . Williams severally addressed the meeting . They stated that they were utterly unable to advise the Chartists whioh way to act . tho principles and political characters of br > th 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 .

      Life Boat House , Sunday . —On Snnday affernoon , upwards of 1 . 000 people assembled at the Life Boat House , when Mr . Binns delivered an able and interestiag address . The greatest anxiety for news respecting the Colonel was manifested , but up to this time none had been received . Accordingly , it was resolved to bold 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 hold another meeting on Tuesday evening .

      Glorious Meeting . —On Friday evening last , a meeting of the most thrilling character was held in he Arcade Room , when after able addresses from Messrs . Binns , Bragg , and others , the following resolutions were moved and carried : — ' * That this meeting , haviDg 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 Suuderlaud 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 tho dust . " The meeting also resolved to await the return of Mr . Williams from London , and that they would support no candidato but an outan-out reformer . A committee of Chartist eleotors and non-electors was also chosen , and every arrangement made to carry on the election .

      Bribery . —A friiend of Mr . W . Attwood , the Tory candidate , Sunderland , the other day , waited on Mr . George B ' mas , 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 lie should meet them again in the evening , which he did , when he narrowly escaped being tarrod and feathered , but was sent away with the remark , that the Chartists of Sunderland , though poor , were honest , and that his employer , though "a highly respectable London merchant , " waa yet a most unprincipled scoundrel .

      BSISTOXi . —The ice of Chartism was broken under rather favourable circumstances , on Monday evening last , at Kingswood-iull , near Bristol . The Chartists assembled , with Vincent at their head , and , a ? 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 co secure 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 tho same . The next resolution was a vote of thanks to Sharman Crawford and his glorious minority of thitry-nine , proposed by Mr . Simeon , tseoonded 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 .

      ADJOURNED GENERAL SESSIONS AT 1 TAKEFIEL * . APPLICATION OF A CHARTIST . Oa Wednesday last , at noon , an Adjourned Sessions of the West-Riding was held at Wafceftgd , 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 . - '¦'¦ : . At a former Sessions a Committee had been appointed , and they now reported that they had examined some fire or six tites , all of which were either ineligible on account of their great price , or some other drawback . The site of tbe present one , therefore , with an addition of some seven or eight acre 3 , was recommended , provided the addition could be reasonably obtained ; and to give time for further arrangements , the question and the Sessions were adjourned till the 13 th of October next . This business having besn disposed of ,

      The Chairman said he understood that one of the prisoners wished to make Bomo 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 Ashlon , one of the Chartist prisoners , then made his appearance . He was dressed in the prison dress of grey frieze . He was very stout , and with the exception of an affection of one of his eyes , which he said had begun on the previous night , ho appeared to be very healthy . His deportment before the magistrates was firm and manly , but at tho same time not uncourteous . The Chairman asked—How long have you been in prison i

      Wm . Ashton—I hare been eighteen months in prison and hare six months to stay . I wish to be allowed the use of writing materials . I hare not been allowed their use since I came in , and have sustained a great injury 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 as they arise , I suppose . How do yon mean to exercise them I Ashtou—O I as I think proper . The Chairman—Yes ; but at what times I mean ! Ashton—Only when I have a leisure moment . The Chairman , —You do not mean to forego your labour f

      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 tbe nature of his misdemeanour , undergoing similar punishment , I do not know how we should be justified in granting this privilege to one , aud withholding it from others . How far we should be justified in granting it to all , is matter of serious consideration . ( To Ashton)—If you hare any other applications io make , you hud better state them , and

      then we will determine what answer to giro to them . Ashton—I wish for the privilege of seeing my friends more than one at a time . The rale says , that a prisoner may see his friends once a month , and 1 do not think it says or implies anything about his only seeing one at a time . However Mr . Shepherd restricts it , to one . I wish one to be allowed to come with wy 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 . Ashtoa—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 . i hare cue other remark to make as to seeing my friends . I am compelled to see them through grates . I wish to see them in a room ; I do not care it' 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 . Ashton—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 , iu other prisons , hare the privilege .

      ABhton—Men of my class of offenders , if I must call myself an offender , arc treated in other prisons so differently from what they are here , that it seems invidious . Here we are all under tho same regulations as the felons . The Chairman—I should address mysalf to the court in this way . This person has been guilty of a misdeameanour , what that misdeameanour was , we should not permit ourselves to think , but how docs tho law intend misdemeanants to be treated ? Ashton—Admitting that I have committed an offenco , which I deny myself , I think there ou ^ ht

      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 bo confined ia the gaol at Wakefield for two years . You then make rules here . The Chairman—But you do not put the thing as it really is , as I dare say you desire to do . ABhton—Yes . Tha 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—1 make another application . The visiting magistrates Rive us free permission to provide our own food . I hare not done so beoause 1 do not wish to be under an obligation to my friends . Latterly , there has been an alteration in tho 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 stomacn . I wish you to grant tao permission to receive some assistance from my friends , without being compelled to receive all . The food gives mo the heart- bum every day , and I hare been very bad iu the head . The doctor has given we plasters for it . The Chairman—What is the particular food of which yofc complain 1

      Ashton—I think there has been too much vegetable food . I have bad pretty good health since J have been in , and I wish to keep in good health if I can . These were tha whole of the applications which Ashton had to make , aud 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 . Ald-. rson , tho chaplaiu to the prison . Ultimately , Ashtoa waa recalled , and asked whether his application as to books was lur nicra varied reading , or for reading of a different religious character I Ashton replied that he wished for more varied reading . Mr . lioldaworth—Are there any particular books you wish ?

      As ' . iton—I could name a few . There are many novels of a historical kind , works that no gentleman would debar his daughter from reading . Jlr . C . Beckett—You must bear this in mind , ihat others caa caake tho same application , and th'jy may be reading from morning to ' night . The Chairuian—Then as to your food . Mr . Dunu is responsible to us for your health , and we are as anxious for the good health as for the safe kespiug of tho prisoners . Mr . Dunn— Whenever he has made complaint , Ashton is aware that he has alway 3 had his food altered .

      The Chairman—If your application bo io have part of your food from your friends aud pare from the gaol allowance , I apprehend n is not , iu our powtii- to do it . If you take the j ; aol alitnvanco you must take it altogether , etherwwo you must be supplied entirely by your friends . Ashton—I observed to Mr . Dunn , that I thought it was not proper , by letting a man become ill from improper food , to lot him keep falling down and then puil him up again . I saiU I thought that was injurious to tbo constitution ; of course be knows best . Ashton waa then again requested to withdraw , and another consultation took pla ? e , 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 paper to set down his thoughts . Not allowed . 2 nd application—To sec more than one friend at a time . Allowed .

      3 rd . application—To see his friends otherwise 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 aud of Mr . Holdsworth . Jth 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 case may require ; but the Court cannot allow food from two Bouroee . Ashton then withdraw , without any further observation .

The wool market , since the recent sales in London , has been firm ; and manufacturers are anticipating a fair winter ' s demand .

      HUDDEBSFIKLD CLOTH MARKET , TUESDAY . —The business done in the HaJl to-day has been somewhat less than last week . A continued gloom appears to hang over the whole market .

A few shipments of new Wheat have got in from Norfolk , the best red samples of which sold at 70 s . per quarter , 63 lbs . per

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 vessel 3 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 , bat since then it has been rery fine here , the past three days splendid—a hot sun accompanied with a brisk breeze from the eastward yesterday and this morning . — There was scarcely one . "ample of old English Wheat in tui ^ day ' s supply from the home counties , and tbe 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 sales , and a fair extent of business was transacted , somewhat over the prices

      of last Monday generally , with an advance of Is to 2 i per quarter on choice white Dantsic and heavy red Rostock . Ship Flour was the turn lower , with a _ slow sale .

From Scotland , we received 200 Scots , and 400 Sheep

Although tho numbers of Sheep offering were limited , the inquiry for them was in a sluggish state , but no depression was submitted to in the quotations , the primest old Djwds being held at 5 s . per Ob .
