TO THE 2 DU 0 E OF THE SOfiTHERS STAB . Ser—In your paper or to-day I perceiTed a brief report of what fell from me while addressing the friends of ireedem in Leeds , on Saturday the 11 th instant , relative to the treatment of myself by tke Magistrates of BeTerley . in this report there is a very alight inaccuracy which might Tery naturally occur , as your talented correspondent did not take notes while I spoks , consequently drew out Ma report from memoiy . In bisTBport hsmakes me say ;—11 That the Magistrates < 1 BeTeriey did refuse to allow me the right of petition while I remained their prisoner . " Small as this inaccuracy iB I loss ' ot a moment in putting , with your permission , the public right on thiB
subject-Sir , I can affjrd to do the magistrates of Bsveiley full justice ; and sHl-taxe a story to ten -wbTea -win not , 1 thinX , raise them Tery high in the estimation of their fellow-men in general . The language I made use of at the meeting alluded to , ¦ wa s this : — "That the magistrate of Bererley had , by preTentisg me from writing to any othor than my wife , and to her only once a-month , and by piaf . ipg upon my correspondence with her such a series of restrictions—restrictions b * ih vexatious and unmanly , and calculated- if not
intended , to defeat the ends of justice—and not satisfied with preTenting me from Bending my letters to Edinburgh such instrucUons as would have enabled my friends to have exposed the abominable falsehood by which I "was convicted , and to put them in possession of facts which , if published , would necessarily have secured my liberation and most likely have been the frtPaTIS of rrrjyijnTIg £ Hag » VltTfi * -mjAny * -r * fs > j mni * y > Tnr = T }* - ¦ feutttottbeinagistralEsoi B « - ? eiley did sil th&t they durst to prerent any petition complaning of their own conduct from ever reaching the House of Commons or the public at a 3 L "
The faets of the case , Sir , are shortly these . After I had been for some months a prison er , and from the dreadful tfeets of the in >» TTTT > a . Ti treatment I was £ nlj 6 Cted to upon my own -bocty , and also from the fact of the Tery sudden death of a young man named Creasor , caused , as 1 suppose , by the operation of the treadmill , a conviction forced itself npon my mind , that the loss of my life was inevitable , if indeed its destruction was mot designed . This . suspicion , and a strong suspicion it was , was greatly strengthened by the circumstance that I learned that every effort was made by Sheppard aud iia principal officer to keep the fact of this ¦ unfortunate man " B deatn , and erery eircumstaBce connected with it , from me ; and the uncomfortable suspicion was still further strengthened by the learfnictate of agitation into which the jailor sad tnmtey appeared to be thrown ks soon
fis they knew ih&l CreasorV death -was known to me , And that I bad expressed -mj intention of petitioning iarlnquiry . Such "was tha excitement of the jailor , that for some time it appeared to deprive him of Ms ordinary prudence and caution , so much bo that be ordered me immediately to be locked up in & wlitary cell , apart from the other prisoners , informing me at the MTttg time , that he did bo in order to keep me from acquiring any further information relatiTa to Greasor ' a treatment or death . Why this should have been tbe case appeared to my simplicity Terr « ct 3 'aordinary indeed , as I could not conceive why publicity should have been either dreaded or shunned , provided all the tireamstazzees of Creasor * s -death were fair and aboveboard ? these facts forced upon me the conviction that 2 had a small chance of leaving the prison a living mut ^ milesi 1 found the mssos of directing the public attention to lny essa sad MuBenitgs .
"While I was thus privately kept out of the way an
There 1 b also in that report another trifling mia statement ; the petition of the inhabitants of Bradford is first for inquiry into the conduct of the magistrates of that town in the employing of such worthless x&en as the spies Harrison and Smith . Secondly , for inquiring into the conduct of the magis trates vt Beverley in tarving prevented me from Beein ? i = 7 solicitor or taking asj other means , even the simple one of sending the requisite instructions to my poor wife to establish the now undeniable fact , that I was convicted by falsehood and convicted too of a crime conceived and executed by the agents of the magistrates of Bradford themselrts . It is , Sir , but just to the magistrates of Beveiley to state that tboagh unaccountable to me , they had at least the sanction of the Whig Government
Shortly after my becoming an inmate of BeTerley prison the Whigs sent to the magistrates a letltr coBimaxniing them to prevent me from holding , upon say coBEidemien , any communication with any men of Ba&ieal politics , or of writing one single word that could in any way affect the public mind . It was in Tab } that I represes&sted to these magistrates that the ends of justice required , that the safety of life and liberty in England demanded , that I should have an opportunity of making The gnilt of the Crown witnesses apparent . It was in vain that I maintained that it was their < Jnty as magistrates to protect , announce , detect , and punish crime . The only answer I cculi wring from them was , we will obey our instructions .

THICKS OF THE A 2 TTI-CORN LEAGUE AND THE WOBTH OF THEIB PUBLIC MEETINGS . TO THE 2 DIT 0 B OP XHB JiOXTBEBS STAB . Sib .. —Ton have doubtless heard of the resolution which these enemies to natiTe industry have come to Dpon ihs snbj £ < i ot their metrrimps , uamsly , tb » t expressive of their determination not to allow any stranger to be present unless admitted by ticket , though you may not have heard of the manner in which such tickets are issued ; 1 will therefore give you an aeconnt of it . Instead of leaving their tickets at the various Libraries ,
asmost uf the conveners of ticket-nettings do ( and as , for convenience sake , one weuid have supposed the league -ironid do ) , tfcey trtlJ not suffer a single tictel to be iEsued except at the r » mi of the Association , Trfeere the greatest care is taken not to give them te asy but Leaguers ; and as tht persons who have the issuing of such tickets are League orators , and from their long connection with the agitation , know the faces of nearly all who are distuHmabtd for tbeir love or opposition to it , their objeet is easily attained ; a direct refusal being givfcn to every applicant who by one previous act or Word has incurred the displeasure of the League . of

It was net my intention to bui
speak to him , nor Wb dnty to speak to me ; my * - oess being with the secretary , who was then attending to the reqnests of some former applicant * . As , cowever , my visit was unexpected , and the secretary ha 4 not been tampered with concerning it , and as Mr .

single person who came within the meaning of the tenn " public" should be admitted ; and that they ( the League ) meant to have the meeting all to themselves . 1 told him that he had pat an entirely wrong oonstruotion on the advertisement calling the meeting in qneation , and that he had- denied me a ticket because he knew I was a Chartist This he denied ; but , in order to get rid of a discourse in which it was evident he was worsted , he said I do not sit here to talk to you , or to enter into an explanation with you : you have got your answer , and now be off" One of the L-ague , who stood near Mr . Smith during the whole of our discourse , and who had heard every word that waa uttered , here Ibj way ol offering additional Inanlt ) ^
asked what was the matter . I told him that Mr . Smith had refused me a ticket ; and that , the construction which he ( Mr . Smith ) put upon the meaning of the advertisement calling the meeting was a wrong one , well suppose it is ? " ' snappishly observed he , " you have got your a -s-wei : and now ( pointing towards the room door ) go , and make whatever ¦ use of it yon please . " Having again told them not to call this meeting a public one after what Mr . Smith had said respecting it I left , and ere a very few hours were over , obtained three double tickets , for myself and others , from an office of the League , at which I happened to be anknown . I attended the meeting , and just as it was about to be dissolved , hurled two hundred copies of the enclosed
addresses of Xirl Stanhope ' a Society for the protect-on of British Industry , amongst the numerous merchants , bankers , and manufacturers , who were congregated in the pit , on whom they descended in a shower , to the to small chagrin of the League , who , dcnbtless , wished me and my papers far enough . It will be more difficult than ever for me to obtain a ticket to a League meeting now , buttho more opposition that I meet with in this respect , the greater plea I shall have against the exclusive proceedings , and I hero tell them that unless they abandon their pocked meelinff scheme , And come forward a * they ought to do , and meet the people ; there are persons in both " House , '' who will at no distant day , declare that they are afrzid to do so ! and Parliament , I believe , win decide accordingly .

TOEKSHIRE SPRING ASSIZES , CROWN COURT , Tt osdat , Mabch 21 . ( Before Mr . Justice CoHman . J MURDEB AT ILKLET . Joseph Hey , 42 , was charged with having , at Hiley , m the West-Riding , on the 17 ih of December last , wilfully and maliciously murdered Wilham RustTrick . Mr . Wilkins , Mr . Oveeend , and Mr . Hardy , appeared for the prosecution ; Mr . Baines and Mr . Buss defended the prisoner . Mr . Wilkiss , in stating the case against the prisoner , said—Gentlemen of the Jury , the very announcement of the nature of the offence with which the prisoner now rtandB charged will be qnite sufficient to prepare your minds for the discharge of a
serious and painful duty . T&e circumstances of the case itself are quite sufficient to impress you with the necessity of entering on ihe investigation with more than ordinary scrutiny and care , because the . prisoner at the bar was never seen by any human eye to commit the offence with which he stands charged , and if you convict him at all , it mnst mnst be on what is termed circumstantial evidence . The prisoner , Joseph Hey , was a wheelwright , living at Beamsley . The deceased , William Hnstwick , was a -neighbour of his , and the parties appear to have been on good terms until the 16 th of December , when they went to » pablic-houae called " Lister ' s Arms , " at Iikiey , about eight o ' clock in the evening . At that time there was nothing in their conduct to justify
the belief that any ill feeling subsisted beiween them . . No angry words passed ; the deceased had done nothing to provoke the prisoner , and the prisoner had done nothing to provoke the deceased . Whilst they were at the Lister's Arms , a man namei Joseph IUingworth called in , and remained there until ihe prisoner and the deceased le / t the nonse , abont a quarter past ten o ' clook . The parties were then all fresh , bat the deceased was in a much worse condition with regard to drunkenness than the prisoner . When they were about to leave the honse , the deceased expressed a wish to stay all night . ThiB tie prisoner strongly opposed , and told him lie was talking non .-ense—he had far better go homB , as it was a fine clear night , and he then pushed
him out of the passage . This was a little past ten o ' clock . Shortly after twelve a man named Thomas Hard wick , a private watchman in the service of Mr . Middleton , was watching in the back-yard of a house belonging t o Mr . Bnrgess , the steward to Mr . Midleton . Whilst there , he heard some person cry , either—Help me—or , Let me get up . He also h * ard the sonnd of a hnman voice , and other noises , which continued until about one o ' clock , three quarters of an hour . The noise appeared to be near the river in a line with the steward ' s house , and it seemt « d as if some persons were throwing stones into the water . Shortly after one o'clock , Hardwick went to Middleton Lodjje , and was there joined by W . Hawfcsworth , and other gamekeepers , who were watching
poachers . They all then went to the place where the sonnd appeared to came from , and in a field called Hawksworih Island , between the higa-road and the river Wharf they fonnd the deceased . He was not quite dead , bnt lived about half an hour afterwards . He however , did nothing \ mt moan until toe time of Ms death . There was a thick stick lying besides him , about a yard from his body . The landlord of the inn will tell you that when the deceased and the prisoner left his house , they each had a stick . The prisoner ' s was a slender walking stick , bnt the deceased ' s was a thick rough one , about three feet long . Pieces of flesh , hair , and skin , were found on the stick which was lying near to the deceasedand it was covered with blood . In addition
, to this you will find , from the evidence of a medical man , that the body of the deceased was in a most awful stats , and waen his hat was taken off a large quantity of blood flowed from it . To use the words of one of the parties present , the head of the deceased was literaUj smashed , and his body one " mass of braises , inflicted by some violent and bloody hand . The prisoner was the last person in whose company the deceased was seen aliye ^—that yon will find was somewhere abont half-past ten o ' clock . You will find from the evidence that about twelve o ' clock the moaning and crits began , and continued in the hearing of the watchman until after one . Tie body of the deceased was then discovered , and cairied vo a public honse in a cart . About half-past Gill
six in the morning two of the keepers , Tnomas and Charles Moon , went to the prisoner ' s house , the door was fast , bnt they heard the prisoner cry out , " Who's there 1 " and a candle was lit , whieh was afterwards extinguished ; and it was not until a considerable time bad elapsed that they gained admission- The prisoner was asked if be had been at llkley with deceased the night before , and he said he had . Moon asked where he left him , and prisoner replied in the flit close bj the lime-kiln . There are two , and the body of the deceased was found midway between them , about 200 yards from each . Moon then asked prisoner if deceased was drank , to which he replied that deceased was either drunk ox sulky , as he could not get him any further than the uit close . He also said thai after leaving Hkley he had tewed with him for about an
honr before he could get him to the place where he had left him . Deceased wished to sit down there , and so prisoner allowed him to do bo . Moon said , " He is dead . " Prisoner replied " Thou talks . ' rie was then asked whether on the road home he had met or seen anything , and he said he had heard a gun fired off . 1 think yon will be of opinion that that cannoi be true , for every one of the parties 1 shall call before you that wmt to look for the body , and afterwards found it , will tell you thai they were out in seach of poachers , when tbeir attention was directed to every sound and circumstance which could justify the belief of parties being in the neighbourhood , and they heard no gun fire . Tnis story may be trne , but it may also bs the expedient of a guiJiy mind to seek for some cause , to which to ascribe the death of the deoeased , in order that he
himself might be clear of the charge . I say no more on that point , Gentlemen of the Jury—I leave the inference to you . The prisoner was then asked at what time he go * home , and his wife stated , in his hearing , that he goi home about half-past three . Yon will remember the first moaningB were heard about twelve o ' clock , and continued op to one , and at half-past one when the body of the deceased was found , he was still living . At that time , when the prisoner left the deceased , he would have to go three ot four miles ; bo that if he bad gone straight home at the time when be say * he left the deceased , he would have been there long before the tame slated by his wife- The prisoner made no remark , and did pot contradict his wife , when she said it was halfpasi three before he arrived home . She also said , " Poor Will ; I have been studying all night , and wondering whether he got home or not . " This shows
that a conversation had taken place bfetween tne prisoner and his wife about the deceased . Between ei ^ ht and nine o ' clock , Abraham England , a constable of Addingbam , and Ellis Whitaker , went to apprtasud the prisoner , when England iound him ia

the street , and said to him yon are my prisoner . I am come to apprehend you " in consequence of your being connected with the death of William Hustwick . Have you anything to state why you should not be taken into custody ? Prisoner said I do not know that I have . England then examined prisoner ' s shirt , and on the wrist bands of both sleeves he found spots of blood . He was asked how they had come there , and he stated that he had assisted in carrying a pig belonging to a brother of the deceased , and that at that time he had no coat on . He said he had washed his hands a little that morniDg . He went into his house and put his ooat on , and England and Whittaker then set off with him to Addmgham . As they were goingEngland noticed
, that there were marks of blood on the inside of prisoner's ooat , and he asked how they came to be there . Prisoner said he could not tell , unless it was from Hustwick's pig . England replied that cannot be , as you ITad . no coat on , Wlien at Addiugham ha wa 9 asked why the blood was on his coat , and he gave another reason totally different from that which he had given before ; he said it was from Hustwick ' s nose having bled , as they sat on a wall after they got across the bridge flat . On the very next day , a medical man , who examined the body of the deceased , and particularly inspected the nostils , stated that there were no marks of blood to be found . Tnis would affect the prisoner in two ways . First , with regard to bis veracity . When first asked
about the blood on bJB ooat , he said he could not account for its being there , except it had been caused by Hustwick ' s pig . When he was told that he had no coat on , he then gave a different version of the cause of the blood ; and it seems to me , if the statement of the medical man is to be relied upon , the statement of the prisoner cannot be relied upon , in acoounting for the blood found on his coat ; while the woman who laid the diseasad out will corroborate the statement of the surgeon , and will state that she fonnd no blood in his nose . During his examination before the justice ? , the prisoner said that he and the deceased went on until they came to a style , when the deceased made a bit of a flounder , and when they got further , ho said , " I believe my nose bleeds . " They went on a little further nntil they came to the lime-kiln , when the deceased said he would remain there . When the prisoner got home his wife told him it was two
o ' clock . I ought also to fctate that some blood was found upon the latchets of one of the prisoner ' s shoes . I have now gone through tho facts of the case upon which you are to form your verdict . There can be no doubt that deceased died from ¦ violence \ there can be no doubt that the prisoner was the last man seen in his company ; there can be no doubt that the deceased desired to stay all night at the Lister's Arms , and tho prisoner was the man who prevented it . There can bo no doubt that at twelve o'clock the moaning of the deceased began , and continued until half-past one . The prisoner does not find his way home until half-past three o ' clock , when he is found with stains of blood upon his shirt aud coat , for which he cannot account , and respecting which he gives contradictory and conflicting statements . Tho Learned Counsel conoluded by remarking that he left the prisoner to God and his country , and he was sure that the Jury would do their duty .
Several witnesses were then examined , who bore out the statement of the Learned Counsel in most of the particulars , after which Mr . Baines addressed the Jury for the prisoner at some length , contending that from all the circumstances of the case not only that there was no proof that the prisoner was guilty of this heinous crime , but that the facts of the case led to the conclusion that he was not , and the Jury could not arrive at any other conclusion than that the prosecutor had
entirely failed in establishing the charge of guilt against the prisoner . He Eaid he would proceed to review the case as it stood , and 'when he had done SO he would ask permission of the Jary whether it was necessary for him to go in < o the body of evidence that he might produce before them , but if they did not think that at all necessary , then they would one and all say that they were convinced , the prosecutor had not made out his case , and they were ready at once to pronounce a verdict of acquittal .
After Mr . Baines ' s address , the Jury , without hearing any of the prisoner ' s witnesses , fouud him Not Guilty . The Learned Judge concurred in the opinion of the Jury .
BXJEG 1 ABT AT HUNTIJ « GTO > . Wilson Rocket ^ 28 , who had been out on bail , was charged wnh having on the 6 th of January last , at Huntington , broken into the dwelling-house of John Bradley , and stolen therefrom 200 sovereigns . Mr . Wilki . ns and Mr . Thompson were for the prosecution ; Ht . Bliss and Mr . Pulleinb defended the prisoner . Mr . Wilh . in 3 stated the case for the prosecution , after which the following witnesses were examined : —
Elizabeth Bradley deposed—I am the wife of John Bradley , of Huntiugion \ he is in his ^ 87 th year ; I am tnrned 70 . I keep a bhop . On Friday morning , the 6 ih of January , four men came into our house . We went to bed on Tnursday night about eleven o ' clock , having examined the doors and windows to see that they were fast . About one o'clock feur men came into the room . Two came to my bed side , and two to the bed foot . They took me by the throat , and I thought they were choking me . I forced the hand off . They . then put their hands upon my mouth and nipped my nose . One of the men took a pillow , put it on my face , aDd got upon it with his knees . The prisoner is tho man who got upon ine with his knees . He said , "if
you don ' t hold your noise and be still , I'll blow your brains out if you speak a word . " I got the pillow off and said " are you going to murder us , what do you want V He said he wanted our money . The prisoner had a club stick in his haud . They took my husband by one of his legs and trailed him inio another room . Tiiey struck him over the head with the club stick . In ten minutes or a quarter of an hoHr , they trailed him back by the hair of his head like a clog of wood . He was bleeding from his head , nose , and mouth , from the stroke of the stick . When he was in the other room , I heard them say " Hang him out , he ' s not dead yet . ' When
he came back , they trailed me out of bed . I fcaid " Oh , " and one of tnem Baid " Come , madam , if you say that aga , in , I'll blow your brains out . " The faces of the men were not grimed ; they had bits of crape ever their faces , and had short smock frocks on . When they , went to the bed of my grand-daughter , two of them took their veils off and put them in their hats . I saw the faces of two very fair when they were talking to my grand-daughter . The prisoner was one of the two men who took their veils off . The prisoner had a candle and a stick . He laid his stick on the bed when he seized me by the throat .
Mr . J . S . Maddison , superintendent of the rural police , produced a crape veil . Examination of E . Bradley resur ? ed—This is the veil that was found in the room entangled with the bed foot . There was only one veil found . Tne men had such veils as these on . Prigouer had a dark coat and waiBtcoat ; J saw them through his smock being open at the breast . The men sta > ed about an hour in the room . I don't know I lost anything but the money . We lost £ 200 , which wore in a little box under a step ; the money was in sovereigns . They said they were going down stair-, they should be there two hours , while they got something to eat , and if we spoke or stirred , they would blow our brains out . 1 found that the men had gone shortly
j after , and I alarmed my neighbours . The back I window had been torn out of tho frame . They had got in at the window , and opened the back door . That back door was fastened by me . I saw the prisoner first after that on Monday , tho 1 st February , at the Castle gates . They fetched him down stairs j for me to look at him . AS soon as be passed me I saw that was the man . ! ! Cross-examined—1 had been asleep before the ! men came in . Before I went I had heard the clock strike twelv « . Thny had all sticks , and good thick | ones too . One of the men had a handkerchief over ¦ his face . 1 can't say 1 was very much frightened 1 considering the alarm . I have not got quit of my hurt yet . The veils were taken off when they had almost done their work . The first time 1 saw any face
without crape was when thi y went to the bedside . I went to the Castle gates to see if I could ohalleKge the prisoner . A man went to feich him down stairs . 1 had never known or seen the prisoner before that I know of . 1 know a man called the herring man , and I bought some herrings of him once . 1 should know him if 1 saw him again . 1 know Joseph Harrison , he lodged with me , and left my house on Wednesday , and ihis happened on Friday morning . When they had got the money they went away They left me when they went for the money . I saw the naked faces of the two men for ten minutes or a quarter of an hour . I did not see the taces of
the other men . I think I should know the other man if I saw him . I am sure the prisoner is the man who came to my bed-side and ill-used me . Witness repeated that she was quite sure the prisoner was the man . I did not see a man in the room that was like the herring man . My son was sent for immediately . ; It had just gone two o ' clook when the alarm was made . Re-examined . —When they were near my bedside I could Bee faces of the men sideways ; they had candles in their hands . I knew the prisoner as soon as 1 saw him at the Castle gates . When they got the box they shook it , and said "This is what we hare come for , and we have got it . " I have no doubt the prisoner is tho man .
Wm . Benjaniin Lund , father of laat witness deposed . —I live at Huntingdon . I was called up on the morning in question . It had just struck two when I was putting my clothes on . I went to W . Bradley ' 8 house ; everything was turned inside out . At that time I suspected Joseph Harrison . I went with Wm . Wilson to the York police 6 tation ; we got there about half-past two . I told Mr . Chalk , and he gave directions for printing the hand-bills . It was through a quilt being stole that I suspected Harrison . When 1 returned my daughter gave me

a veil ; this is it . My daughter had given me a description of the men she had seen . Two sticks were found . A piece of bark found in the house fitted one of the sticks . Cross-examined . —I went twice to York that mormn ' g . My daughter eaid one of them was less than me , but wider about the shoulders but the other man was taller . Harrison is described in the bill 88 being five feet nine or ten inches , and the other man , who is described as the herring man , as live feet ten inches . ,. The Jurv ' after a Tery 8 hort consultation , found the prisoner Guilty .
On being asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him , tho prisoner blamed his attorney for not calling all his witnesses , as he had several more . He said , Wood had committed tho robbery , and he had several respectable witnesses in Court , who had not been called . The following witnesses were then examined—Mr . Hill , publican , Peasholme-green , deposed-I have known the prisoner eight years . He has been a peaceable , good neighbour . I have never heard anything against his character for honesty . He has been an upright tenant to me , and has paid me very regular . Mr . William Outhwaite , butoher , Peasholmegreen , deposed . —I have known the prisoner five years . He has always been a very honest man . I have never heard anything amiss by him in my life .
Mr . John Milner , oowkeeper , Hungate , deposed—I have resided in York about twenty years . I have known tho prisoner four or five years . I think , as Jar as I know , he is a very decent man . I never m ^ man 8 ay anv tQ ing amiss by him . The prisoner was then ordered to stand down . Tne Court rose about a quarier before eleven o clock . The case excited a great deal of interest , and tho Court was muoh crowded during the whole day .

Some altercation ensued , which ended in a scuffl- ? , and the prisoner was thrown
down , and a ferret taken from him ; the prisoner then said , " D n thee , I'll swear thou ' s got 5 s . from mo . " To the prosecutor ' s amazement he was taken into custody on ( he following day , the prisoner having sworn before the magistrates that Youdall had met him on a footpath at North Bierley , when he threw him down and robbed him of two halfcrowns .

The nephew then returned up stairs , gave the alarm , and the men made a retreat .

Leeds Cloth Markets . —Thera was more business done at the Halls on Saturday and Tuesday last —a gleam of sunshine m miJI-winter ; we shall be glad if it continue , but much ! more pleasure will be realized if we should be enabled to announce an inerease in business , of which there is even yet very little doing .

Huddersfibld Market , i March 21 st . —The Cloth Hall was tolerably well attended by buyers this day , and a very fair quantity of ^ oods , prmci-Dally light fancy ones for the-: spring trade , such aa ought to have been sold two months ago , exchanged hands . The finer qualities are not in great request . Wools , Oils , &o ., nominal , i London Corn Exchange , * Monday , Mapch 20 . —Since this day se ' nnight v ^ e have had but , moderate arrivals of all grain up to oar market , except oats , of which upwards of 40 ; 000 qrs have come to
hand , chiefly from Ireland . Notwithstanding there was a fair average number of dealers in attendance , the demand for Wheat , of home growth , was excessively heavy , at an abatement in the prices noted last week , of from Is to 2 a ner qr , and a clearance was not effected . Foreign Wheat , both free and in bond , quite Is beneath the prices obtained on Monday last . Barely at stationary rates . Good souud Malt was quite as dear , but other kinds had a downward tendency . Oats 6 d per qr cheaper . Beans , Peas , and Flour , somewhat l ^ wer in price .
London SsiiTufikld Cattle Market , Monday , March 20 . —Iu our market of to-day the supply of Boasts on offer was , tho time of year considered , tolerably good as to numbers , and of fair average quality . Still the beef trade was by far more depressed tban we have had occasion to report during the whole year . Prices werejqiite 2 i to 4 d per 8 ibs beneath those obtained on Monday last . There was another good supply of Sheep in the pens , but we
regret to say that numbers of them were serioubiy affooted by the prevailing epidemic , and , in consequence prices gavo way 21 to 4 J per 8 ibs . Shearli » g 3 from 2 s lOd to 3 , 2 d per 8 ' . bs . j Forty Lambs from the Isle of Wight , went at an ^ average of 5 s per 8 lbs . Although but few Calves were on sale , the inquiry for them was inactive at drooping quotations . Pork at a reduction of quite 2 d per 8 ibs . Not a single head of stock has been imported into the United Kingdom since our : a ; t .
Bonoi'GH HOP Market . —Our market is , on the whole , well supplied with most kinds of hops , but we have to report very few sales in them , and prices remain unaltered . Borough and Spitalfields . —We have had a fair average arrival of potatoes for oar markets since this day se ' unigbt . The i plentiful supplies of gre ^ n vegetables have caused the demand to rule inactive . Wool Market . —The imports of Wool duri » g the past week have consisted of . about 300 bales from New South Wales , 220 ditto from the Cape , 73 from St . Helena , 52 from BuenOs Ayres , and 60 from Hamburgh . Our private contract demand is excessively dull , at barely previous rates .
Tallow . —During the past ; week the foreign market b ( camo firmer , and business , to some extent , has been done at 43 s for Y . C . Tallow both on the spot , and for forward delivery , and at this price there are strong buyers . The price atfSt . Petersbnrgh by the last adviees was very ilat , and would 003 t laid down here , including charges of eyery description , 423 to 42 s tid per cwt . Town Tallow has again declined in price , and no doubt the supply is plentiful at 433 to 44 s Gd net cash . ' Manchkstee Corn Market , Monday , March 18—Wo continue to experience a steady consumptive demand from the trade for all descriptions of En&lisU Flour and suitable cuts of Oatmeal , but
the quantities taken off are limited , even at reduced prices . On reference to the [ Import List , it will be seen that tho stocks of Oats land Oatmeal have received a large augmentation [ during the week : the arrivals of Irish Flour are likewise on the increase . Of English manufacture there is no accumulation here , the demand being fully equal to the supply . There was very little passing in Wheat at our market this morning , and jwe reduce oar quotations 2 J per 70 lbs on all qualities . With a fair inquiry for Flour ( but not leading to any extent of business ) , we make no change iu the currency of this day se ' nnight , although those rates were barely supported . Oits and Oatmeal were slow of sale , the former at a deoline of Id per 45 ) bs ,
Liverpool Cork Market , Monday , March . 20 . —Since this day se ' nnight there ha . ve arrived from Ireland to this port 4 , 146 qrs of Wheat , 27 , 921 qrs of Oats , 5 , 950 Backs of Flour , and 25 , 670 loads of Oatmeal ; the imports of other articles of the trade are of moderate amount . With the exception of a parcel or two of foreign , taken for shipment to Ireland , the week ' s transactions in Wheat have been confined to the retail purchases of oar local millers ana dealers , which have been effected generally at Id per bushel below the prices quoted at tho olosa of
last week . Flour has met a dull sale , and has barely maintained its previous value . At a decline of Id to 2 d per bushel , two or throe cargoes of Oals have found country buyers ; good mealing at 2 * 3 d per 45 ibs . A few parcels of Oatmeal have also gone into the hands of the dealers at ids fid to 20 s per 240 iba , according to quality . The maltsters having pretty well supplied themselves from the previous arrivals , the week ' s business in that grain , although offering generally at ft decline of Is to 2 s per qr . has been very small . Beans and Peas have declined iu value Is per qr .
Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , March 20 . — We have had rather a larger supply of Cattle at market to-day than last week , but owing to the butchers not being at all able to make the coarser p ieces of both Beef and Mutton into money , we have had a dull market , with little or no variation in prices from last week . Beef 5 d to 6 d , Mutton 5 d to 5 id per ib . Number of Cattle at market : —Beasts 814 . Sheep 2 , 544 .

Great Decrease in the Whibky Duty . —From returns recently presented to Parliament , it appears that there has been a decrease in the qna , ntity of whisky which has paid duiy in Great Britain during the last four yearn , but a very inconsiderable one , compared with the enormous falling off in Ire Jand . The following are the results of the returns . — In England , tho number of gallons in th « year ending Sil Jtuiuary . 1840 , was 8 186 55-2 ; in lfUl . it was 8 , 278 , 148 ; in 1842 . 8 , 166 , 98 i ; and in the year endiig January 5 , 1843 , it w | as 7 , 956 , 054 .
