      OP SHEFFIELD . Gentleme __» , —In compliance with tho wish of a large numb * ir 0 f your body , who have done me the honour of _s-, jliciting me to offer myself as a candidate for your si * _. ffragetjat the approaching General Election , I _tal- . _*_ e the liberty of intimating to you that I have accc _^ ted the invitation of my friends , and that I will at . the proper time present myself before yOU with a ' .-riew of ascertaining how far you sympathise with fflose principles of which I am an humble advocate , and upon which 1 rest my claims te jour sup : port , Li the meantime , I deem it my duty to place j the ; ft principles before yon , so that you may have a I far / opportunity of judging of their justice and utility , lav . a of my consequent fitness for the distinction ta Whichl aspire . ¦

      Elective _Fbakcsise . —In the first place , lam of opinion that no law ean be morally bindim- upon any community to which the majority of its male adult membersnavenot given their assent , either directly by their votes , or indirectly through their representatives for that purpose in Parliament assembled ; I aro , therefore , opposed to the present system of government , as I look npon it to be a gross usurpation by a small fraction of the people of those legislative functions , which can be legitimately exercised only by the whole nation , without whose sanetion legislation can be regarded as nothing better than legalized brigandism , or as another and safer method of appropriating to the purposes of the governing few the property ofthe whole community . I am , therefore , an

      uncompromising advocate of _Uxiteesal Suffrage , believing it to be tbe most practical mode of giving effect to . that principle of self-government , which is inherent in every society , and of securing that liberty which is the gift of God to all his creatures , and -of which no one can be deprived without a violation of the first principle of justice , and to which deprivation no man can submit without committing & crime against himself and posterity . It will be seen , gentlemen , that the basis upon which I _wiBh to rear the legislative superstructure of Great Britain is ample and just , but experience proves tbat it would be _necessarv tn _imarA

      such a structure against the combined attacks of ignorance , folly , and malavolence . . It would consequently be necessary to entrench it behind barriers sufficiently strong to protect it from the assaults of its enemies . I am , therefore , of opinion that the _BAtuTwouldbeanecess aryaccompanimenttotheSuf * irage , in order te secure the honest and cancientious voter in the discharge of an important public duty . I also believe it to be highly necessary that elections for Members of Parliament should be Assual , as that period is too _longtoretain an incompetent , or unfaithful servant , and not too short for the faithful repre-1 sentative , whose satisfactory conduct would secure his I

      rt-election . Iu order to securecompetent _persons _. and to render free the choice of the people in the selection of legislators , I hold that the existing propertied requirement ought to be abolished , and moral , worth and intellectual capacity ought to be substituted for what is new called Property Qualwicatio **? _, and to tbat end I advocate Patmbxi of _Mumbbbs ofPasxuwar so that a virtuous and talented man . whatever his station in life , may be elected to fill the distinguished office of law-maker , without _sufferiBg pecuniary loss . I am strongly in favour of dividing the country in _EQCALEtEcroRAtDieraicrs , as the only means of getting rid of that anomaly in _Tepresentatioa which assigns to a borough , with not more than two hundred electors , as many representatives as Manchester , with a constitnency of upwarfa of 12 000 . Such , gentlemen , arethe _princinlesuoonwhiPhTnm

      desirous nf establishing the Commons' House of Parliament , and without whkh you will -never have a " full , fair , and free representation of the people . " _With-regard to tbe other subjects which now engage public attention , I will treat of them in _. the order of iheir importance , with as much explicitness as the limits of this address will permit . Ikelakd . —This country has long-been the victim ofthe vilest legislation-, uie treatment which its inhabitants have _receired atthe hands-of English governments . aided _ by the Irish landlords , rivals in atrocity the : werat times of ( he-most barbarous nations , One fact will suffice to prove theee aceHsations . R ithint ! ie * asteighteen raonths upward 8 ofl . 00 O ; GW of the _paM $ > le of that couutary have perished of famine 1 I believe it to be out of the power , as much as it is beyond the province , of ssy body bat a domestic legislature to effect a radieal cure of the deep and damning social , grievances ef which the _unhaonv

      people oi Ireland have to -complain . I insist , therefore , upon the Repeal . a ? nig 'Lk < eslative _"Ujhon between-Great Britain and Ireland , leaving it to tan Irish 'Parliament to develope and cultivate these great national , physical , end moral _resonrces _. of _wlii-ah that country abonnds _in-estravagant profusion , Siam _C-scbch . —I am opposed to any sort < cf governmental interference in matter * of religion . < 1 believe the right of conscience to be-too sacredte"fee made subject to any _kind-cf human eontrol . I am , therefore , for separating tie _Church-frora the State . I look upon tbe connexion between _tfeeseinstitutieas to be fraught with tbe werst consequences to time religion , and degrading to our national character ; nor can I reconcile it with my sense of justice or common hoaesty , that any-man _shouWcbe compelled by law to render _pecuniat-y . aid to maintain the relaW gioug creed of his neighbour .

      Poos . Law . —I am opposed to the present Poor Law , believing it to be founded upon . a theory ai false as the law itself is infamous and brutal ! I am for the immediate and total abolition oi this monster iniquity , and would substitute it by a lm , founded upon the principle , that the labourer , inMs old age , _unentitled to receive from the national slock all that mag ibesiecessary to . maintain himui . comfort and ease . I abhor the present law , because it authorises the separation of wives . from their _hasbands _. aBdcbihlrea from jr- * * ¦** " ¦* | -THapa _ Hr . i « . a . _UAtUUl

      their parents . * B robs the tend mother of the BicKT of attending to her child in sickness , and of soothing the anguish of her 4-eloved . pastner in trouble . I abhor this law because it sets at . naught all the high and ennobling feelings of onr < cature ; and because it is a daring and _ blasphemous defiance ofthe ordination of f . n all-wise and ruling "Providence . I have therefore an _nnextisgnishable . hatred _af the _baatiles , and the . bastile-syatem ; and wiUtake pleasure ia aiding their complete . and final over--tbrow .

      _Taxaiioh _^ -I am for . abolishing the . Cu 8 toms . and _bicise duties , and for imposing a moderate andecaduated Property Tax , iniieu thereof ; thereby releasing industry , and throwing upon tie _tealbtn * _- fde property the . cost of maintaining ihe government ot the country . I am & r abolishing the fi « use of Lords ,- *** a legislative assembly ; thinking that branch of the S overnmenfc to be a burlesque upon tho good sense -Of the country . " lam for restoring the Common Lands , Crown Lands , and the Church Landsto the use of the

      -, peo ple , to whom they of right belong . I am opposed to Wars and to Standing Armies , believing both to be a curse to maDfcind . i ' ! _ , ° PP _osed to the rigours of one orcsent Criminal Code , especially to death punishments ; and will Struggle to the best of my abilities to effect such other reforms as the requirements of aa improving age may demand .

      ¦ _ENGLAJj jx i _* B _^ -iuiNGHAM . --Four candidates are in the field in ; ( _sts borough , Messrs Mutitz , Spooner , Schofield , and : rScrjeant Allen . The latter gentleman has been put ! 'toward by the beet-sellers in opposition to Messrs ¦ _"Kantz and Spooner , for their sins of omission and '" commission in relation to a petition _ for an extra hour at night , and their conduct touching the police clauses . Mr Muntz has republished his address of 1810 , and is < fetermined to abide by it . He calls attention to his opinions respecting Cora Law Repeal , showing that the League reader is preparing his followers for those results he would not then see . A _requisitronjof electors and non-electors is in course - of signature , calling upon him to allow the said rc-• _quisitionists to form a committee and exert themselves is his favour . It is understood that , he has

      consented to this . The friends of Mr Schofield continue their exertions in that gentleman's favour . Mr Schofield _has _. lat several meetings / been closely questioned at tbe _Bordesley and Deritend ward , by a Mr _Fuss e . ! , upon the Charter and other questions . To Universal Suffrage , the Ballot , Payment of Members , "No-Property Qualification , and Equal Electoral Districts , he would give his willing support , objecting to Annual Parliaments , and substituting "Triennial . " He will vote for the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones , Ac , likewise forthe separation of Church and State . A town ' s meeting will take place on Tuesday , the . 13 tb , called on a requisition of electors and non-electors—tho mayor having refused tn call the same—when tbe candidates are invited to attend , where they will undergo the ordeal of a public examination . -

      Bradfobd . —lt is difficult toforetel what will be the issue ofthe forthcoming contest for this borough , owing to the Liberal party , which claims to he strong enough , if united , to return both the members , being split into sections on the _Education question * Mr Busfield , tho Whig , has announced his determination to stand , but bo very active measures have vet been taken to secure his election ; yet the moment Col . P . Thompson , the Radical , announces his intention to retire , because the divisions in the party appear to endanger his ultimate success , a numerous committee is formed to promote his election , with a determination to . nominate him at all hazards . Meantime , the Conservatives are prosecuting their canvass for their two candidates , Mr G . Hardy and Mr H . W . Wickham .

      Cur of Lokdoh . —Mr Bevan , banker , of Lombardstreet , has issued an address , announcing his intention to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of the City of London on the Protestant interest . Ipswich . —Information has reached this town tbat Mr C . Austin , Q . C ., declines to offer himself . Mr Hugh Adair ( sou of Sir S . Adair ) has consented , at the request of the Liberal party , to stand a cratest . Leeds . —At length it is announced that Mr J , Gr . Marshall has consented to offer himself as a candidate , in compliance with tbe requisition lately originated . In the meantime the friends of Mr Sturge nave been actively exerting themselves in his behalf .

      The breach between the two _BectionB of the Liberal party grows every day wider , personal matters being occasionally invoked for lack of better arguments ' , and it seems not improbable that the Conservative party will have to decide between the claims of Mr Marshall and Mr Sturge ; their own candidate , Mr Beckett , being considered sure of re-election . "N £ WCA _8--LE-uroN-TrNE . —A contest has somewhat unexpectedly arUen in this borough . Mr Thomas Emmerson _Headlam , a barrister , son of Archdeacon Ileadlam , of Wycliffe , Yorkshire , and nephew of Dr Ileadlam , of Newcastle , has issued an address to the electors . lie is a Free-Trader , and will be supported by the extreme Liberals . Mr Hodgson Hinde and Mr Ord , tbe sitting moiubeis , are again candidates .

      Oidham . —Mr W . J . Fox has issued an address to the electors . Rkading . —Mr Serjeant Talfourd has issued an address , offering himself , for the third time , as a candidate . He says :--I refer to my past cond'ict a * , tbe best assurance I can give in the future ; but on one question of solemn interest to tbe Christian world , the propriety of endowing the priesthood of the Roman Catholic Church , I feel it right to volunteer a distinct avowal . To that measure , and to all others which may tend to weaken tbe security of the Protestant faith , I shall offer my strenuous opposition , from whatever party tbey may proceed . South Shields . —There will be a very severe contest between Mr Wawn , the sitting member , and Mr Whateley _, the new candidate on the Conservative interest .

      ! Worcester . —Sir Dennis Le Marchant retires from the representation of the "faithful city . " The _announcement of this purpose by the hon , baronet has taken all parties by surprise . Mr Osman Ricardo , who contested Kidderminster in 1841 with Mr Godson , has been named as his successor ; but Mr G . R . Robinson , the chairman at Lloyd ' s , being first in the field , will probably bo found to stand A 1 . _Doufbiessuike . —Mr Hope Johnstone haB addressed his _constitueuts , intimating tbat he will not ask tbeir suffrages at the approaching election . Wick Burghs . — -Mr Loch has issued his circular announcing his intention of again standing . No opposition .

      Cork —The official announcement states that Dr Power was returned on Thursday evening , having a majority of 251 . The Conservatives say they will contest the county again at the general election _.

      TOTHE MEMBERS OFTHE CHARTIST LAND COMPANY . Frirnd 8 , —On June 9 th , I lectured in Darlington . We had a most excellent meeting , and I am proud to report a considerable increase in members . There are one or two grumblers in this place , but their influence has become as it is everywhere else , " small by degrees and beautifully less . " On Thursday , the 10 th , I lectured in Stockton-on-Tees . There was a very good meeting of members , and a most gratifying report of a doubling of numbers in the company . On Friday , the llfch _. I lectured _inlMiddlesboro' to a most crowded audience . The company has been gaining strength rapidly here . .

      I was then recalled to London , and in consequence of severe indisposition , caused by travelling in wet clothes , I disappointed our friends in Stockton-on-Tees on Friday , the 18 th . I will , however , at some other period doub ! y ( repay that disappointment . Thinking I might be of some use in the ancient city of Chester , I communicated with some old and tried Chartists there , who _decidedjon getting up a meeting . It was held in the White Hart Inn , "Northgate-street . The bellman did not do his duty _. otherwise we should have had a better meeting ; as it was we enrolled 10 members for 32 shares . Tbis was , I considered , a most excellot beginning—I was extremely pleased , and I think I ought to be pardoned for expressing it , when I say that I found those who were boys when I made my defence ready , as men , to adopt the principles I

      advocated . I wish Baron Gurney ' was alive to feel the truth of my expression on my trial , that the young would drink in those principles , and when they became men ihey would adopt them . They have done it , and I hope they will be on honour to our party . Mr John Lewis " , it secretary , Mr W . Brown , treasurer ; and Mr George Povey , scratincer : all ' young , intelligent , active , and consequently _usi-ful men . It is time the younger men undertook their pnblic duties and shared the labours of the day with those who have toiled year after year to realise our immortal principle ? , It is the duty of a good man to leave the world better than he found it . On Thursday and Friday , the 24 th and 25 th , I lectured in Liverpool . The first meeting was most crowded , and the second one was equally so , but I was compelled to leave early . a

      On Saturday I sailed for Carlisle , . I lectured there on Monday , the 28 th ult ., to a very large audience . I did not expect so large a meeting , it being race week . On Tuesday , tbe 29 th , lectured in Dalston to a wry attentive and intelligent audience . I was then called off to London on business , tbe nature of which I shall explain wherever I go , so that all men may know what law is in this country as applied to a Chartist , and that Chartist , Mr O'Connor . At tire time I atn writing this it has not been decided _vihat courso I may take , but I may promise the association in the Potteries that I will meet Mr Evans at any time to discuss the question at issue between us . Yours _faithfullv , P . M . M'Douall .

      principals , are all f . td and _suppoitedla luxury upon ths fruits of your industry , , Impressed with a due sense of these , and many other like grievances , too great for patient "human endurance , your brethren , ' the members ofthe "National Land Company , have appointed a committee to meet , and , by discussion , to discover a practicable remedy , which can be ' employed by the people to eradicate or ( at the least at its first application ) greatly ameliorate these most intolerable evils : and as , ' after due reflection , they are of opinion that such a remedy , and the only efficient one , not only exists , hut may be easily anil successfully applied , they have thought It their duty to app ly to you , in the _nrst _inatanco , as it is to your concurrence and cooperation that they have to look for the commencement of those sanitary reforms which they verily believe will lead to those results so ardently desired by the injured and insulted operatives .

      Itis allowed oti all hands that the foundation of all the curses of which we complain , is to be traced to Glass Legislation , The rich and tho powerful have coalesced together , and by force and fraud have deprived you of your just and inalienable rights ; the ; bave robbed JOU of that land which your _all-merciful Father created for _yourgenoralueejand tbey have reduced you to a state of _sorfdo / ii , that you muy labour only for their aggrandisement ; and to preserve their supremacy , it is necessary to keep you poor , that you may be powerless to resist their aggressions ; and ignorant , that you may not be able to discover the deceptions with which they

      are constantly trying to mislead you : and we are grieved to have to remark , that too many of you have been caught in their snares , and have believed that their delusions of Corn Law Repeal , Free Trade , and the rest of their fallacies would remove your distress , and improve your social condition . ' Happily , these dreams are melting away ; time has discovered the deception , and we trust you luve at last learned how much you have been dnped by _beth the factions in turn , and have learned the secret , that you can no longer trust to the promises of those whose very existence depends upon misleading you , but are determined upon taking the management of your affairs into your own hands .

      The time has arrived at which our present Parliament is about to be dissolved , after which you will be called upon to exercise one ofthe few rights which your ironshod rulers havo left in yonr possession , and in which your voices can be raised for good or for evil . On the way in wbich you exercise this important duty dtpends the commencement ofthe reign of justice , or the continuation of oppression and misrule . We implore you to turn a deaf ear to the baseless professions of both tbe detestable factions , and choose men to represent you whose feelings and interests are in unison-with your own , and whose principles you believe , as far as inquiry and solemn pled ges can assure you , are founded upon a right basis ; and we respectfull y beg to hy before you what we believe a candidate for the people ' s choice

      ought to exert his energies to have passed into laws : — 1 . Universal Suffrage . 2 . 7 o ' te by Ballot . 3 . Annual Parliaments . 4 . No property Qualification for Members . 5 . Payment of Members . 6 . Equal Electoral Districts , 7 , Separation of the Church and State . 8 . Abrogation of the deviHrah New poor Law , 9 . To Raise the Wages of the Operative to a fair _remnneratire Price , 10 , The utter destruction of every Monopoly , —In the present state of society , with the monetary qualification of can . didateB , it may be difficult to find men who will pledge themselves to all these principles ; but In all cases , we earnestly implore yeu never to prostitute your votes to any one who refuses to _suppsrt the most essential ones ; thoBe which shall give the power to the real _representativeB of the people , and destroy for ever the rule of the few over tbe many .

      Electors , recollect that the right of rote whioh you possess is not held for yourselves alone ; you hold it , at present , ae a trust to he exercised on behalf of your brethren , who are _Jniajuitously deprived of that right ; and we hope you will go exercise it as to satisfy jour own _contcie c _i and meet the approbation of those whom you repre sent . Finally , we cordially and earnestly Invite you t ° join with us , in a ' _bretherly union for the _restoration of tbo rights of all . We are numerous enough to turn the scale , between the two hungry factions , and render tbem powerless by turns , and it is our want of union and determination alone which renders us powerless . For this purpose , rouse then from this fatal apathy , attend sedulously to tbe attainment of jour political rights , and the due performance of your

      social duties , and fear not for our ultimate success . We are your affectionate friends , The Committee op the National Land Company , HTDE , ~ MrW .

In addition to the above about 380 beasts , 700 sheep and lambs , and 40 calves , have been landed at Hull and the other northern ports , mostly from Holland . Smitbfield , Monday , July 5 . —The supply of foreign stock on offer this day was very extensive—viz ., 384 oxen and cows , _s , Wl _shtep awl Iambs , and * 29 calves , nearly the wholo of which found buyers , at last week ' quota _, tions . For the time of year , the arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts were tolerably good . Although there were several well made up droves on sale the general quality of this description of stock was by no means prime . Notwithstanding thc weather was unfavourable for slaughtering , the beef trade , owing to the increased attendance of both town and country buyers , was steady , at prices fully equal to , but at nothing quotable beyond , those obtained on this day se'nnight . The primest Scots

      were disposed at fi om 5 s to os 2 d per 8 B > . The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , consisted of about 200 Scots , homebredB , and shorthorns ; from the western and midland districts , 890 Herefords , runts , Devons , & c . ; from other parts of England 700 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 320 horned and polled Scots . Compared with those exhibited on Monday last , the numbers of sheep wero small , but of full average quality . On the whole there was an advance in the mutton trade , and in some few instances the primest old Downs sold at 5 s fid per 8 fl > , being an advance in value of 2 d per 81 b , while the value of most other breeds , a clearance of which was effected prior to the close of the market , had an upward tendency . There was a fair supply of lambs on show , yet the trade was firm at last week's currencies . . The highest value of the best Down qualities was 6 s per Sib . Calves , the number of which wero but moderate , moved off slowly at about stationary prices . In pigs , next to nothing was doing , at

      COTTON . ' . Liverpool , Monday , July 5 . —Our market , without showing any great signs of cxciten . ent , has yet maintained a firm and steady tone , and the day ' s sales are reckoned _atfromSuOO to 10 , 000 bales , about 5000 having been taken ou speculation . Prices remain steady . Livervooi ., Wednesday , July 7—In our cotton market to-day a general tone of quietness has prevailed . Sales are reckoned at 7000 bales , 5000 of which have been taken by the trade , and prices in general are steady at last _ii-iday _' s rates . _NYOOL . Londov _, Monday , July 5 . —Tho arrivals of foreign and colonial wool into London , since Monday last , have been about 3 , 200 packages . T / ie public sules have closed somewhat more firml y than tbey commenced , but prices have not improved . On the whole , the transactions at the _auctions ( j Considering the large quantities brought forward , were decidedly good . There is rather move doing in the best qualities of English wool , at full prices , but all other kinds are neglected for the present ;

      STA . TE OF TR / vDE . Leeds . —A limited amount of business has heen done at the warehouses , butli home and foreign , and t' e public markets have been of much tho same character as for some time back . HALIFAX . —Wo have had hut -. i small amount of busin ess , but there seems to prevail au expectation that things will soon improve . There is no alteration to notice either 111 yarn or wool . ¦ _ijUDi-onD . — Wool .- The fairs throughout tho past week have opened in different parts of the country , and we do not remember for a loug time so little being done at them , last year ' s prices being generally demanded . This will not do , and unless the growers will submit to a pvicaj to meet the rates current here , with a very slug _, gish demand and no disposition to buy , except to supply present requirements , it is not likely that more will be ( lone . Yarn . —Titer j is no chainsre to note in this market ; it is very dull . 1 _'ieees The beautiful weather inspires confidence that butter doings ave at hand . The stock of . goods are light for the season .

      Manchksieii . —Owing to the continued advance in cotton , considerable excitement has existed in this market , and higher prices have been demanded , though of course tins has checked business , especially in goods , as it does not ap _. iear that the money market is in _sush a state as to induce merchants to undertake any fresh liabilities , Wu have to" announce the suspension ofthe old bank of Clayton ' s , at Preston , which took place on Thursday . The liabilities are said to be £ 400 , 0110 . As to tho condition ot the _opea-aative population , it . _becomCS _U matter of some apprehension , that instead of the improvement we hnvolately had to notice we shall speedily again _observe a retrograde movement . Tlie gradually increasing prices of cotton have this week stolen a march which it is found very diniettlt to follow , and will , if it continue , bring business to stand . There has been move speculation in the raw material , and short time is again being tallied of by those who were gradually getting to work again .

      TIIE IROl * TRADE . \\ e understand that the Iron Trade is improving both m England and Scotland . _.-lrU _' s Birmlnotem Gaucttfi of Monday says : — " Favoured as we have been by the return of propitious _vveatlYCY tor gathering in the luxurious crops of hav , and maturing the still more important promising harvest of corn , as well as the prospect daily growing more assured ot escaping the blight of previous years aimong the potatoes—symptoms , of continued prosperity in the iron trado become more confirmed . The tone of the proceedings of _tjje Staffordshire ironmasters at tbeir preliminary meeting held ut the _Stoavponey on _Tuesdaay was most decided and cheerful . It was uimniuiously resolved to continue the prices of iron us last quarter . That this would be tho course taken was indeed so well understood , that several of the London houses , we are informed , had given out orders for the ensuing quarter upon those terms —a step indicatiii' - not only a feeling of confidence in quarters where a correct judgment is most likely to be formed , but also a pvetty platu intimation thut the stocks on hand among the merchants arc not accumulating , and that purchases have latterly been confined to actual supplies for _eouti-aets taken , fo thut the continuance of at least an average domutul may be confidently looked for through the comuw quartet-.
