CHARTIST RISING AT BRAD-
FORD, YORKSHIRE.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT. )
For a long time past apprehensions have been enter-
tained that the -Chartists in this neighbourhood would be
so foolish and reckless as .o attempt an outbreak, and the
Magistrates have used every precaution to defeat and
crush such an attempt should it he made. About a fort-
night since the Chartists residing at Clayton Heights and
Queen's Head (two wild districts, about four miles from
Bradford), contemplated an outbreak contemporaneous
with that at Sheffield and Dewsbury, but the authorities
having timely information of, their intention, had all
so well prepared to receive them that they durst not
carry their' designs into execution, although they bad made
great preparations, in sharpening their pikes, making hand
grenades, cats'-paws, Scc. Sunday night last the
Magistrates again received information that an outbreak
was intended, and ordered that about 40 special constables,
besides the watch, should patrol the streets all night.
About two o'clock in the morning of Monday, a party of
the constables went into the Green-market (a large open
space). and seeing two men standing outside of a shed they
called out for the watch, when two watchmen called out frcm
inside the shed that they were prisoners by the Chartists,
and upon the constables approaching nearer they found
that the men outside had pikes, and they sprthig upon
them before they had time to use the weapons, overpowered
them, and conveyed them to the prison at the Court-house.
At this time various small armed parties were seen ap-
proaching the Green Market by the passages thereto, but
on hearing the. cries of their companions that had been
taken they dispersed in all directions; eight of them were
taken by the special constables, and they are now
at the time we write confined in the cells. The Chartist
parties never got concentrated, and therefore we
cannot get any , ekact account of their numbers.
There were upwards of 100 seen. Their object appears
to have been to meet in the Market-place as a common
rendezvous, and proceed to fire the town, as a signal for
the Chartists in the surrounding country to come in. This
they have at all times given out as their intention ; and a
number of hand grenades, port-fires, and pikes have been
found in and near the Green-market. The detachment of
Hussars and Infantry stationed at the temporary-barracks
here were on duty at the Court House all night. The
Magistrates early this morning sent off an intimation of
the occurrences to Lord Normanby, and are now in con-
sultation at the Court.

A company of Artillery, with cannon have arrived from
Leeds, and the soldiery are now parading in front of the
Court House, where a great *multitude of the inhabitants
are assembled. The prisoners will be brought up and
examined to-day.
We had forgotten to mention that the Chartists bad
secured all the watchmen in the neighbourhood of the
Green-market.
Bradford, Monday Morning, 9 A. as.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(MONDAY EVENING.)
POST.—The death of the Carlist leader, Cabrera,
of which we have heard so much for some days past, is
no longer believed in the city. The Spanish Securities
have, nevertheless, advanced -} pr cent. Tlic French.
mail of Saturday has not reached London with the ac-
customed regularity, owing to the unfavourable state of
the weather, and we have consequently no knowledge of
that day's operations at the Paris Bourse. A " rig"
among the speculators here has had the effect of running
up the quotation for the Active Bonds to 26i-if but we
doubt not it will turn out to be quite a temporary thing,
and that, when the time comes for realising profits,
their victims will be made to smart severely. It is
rumoured, and we are too familiar with the conduct of
Spanish Governments to be disposed to question the
truth of the statement, that the men now in power at
Madrid have expressed themselves in favour of throw-
ing the foreign creditors overboard altogether, prelimi-
nary to the raising of another loan. Such a measure
would be but too natural a sequel to Toreno's conver-
sion scheme of 1834. and Mendizabal's manoeuvres in
1836. These proceedings have been so tamely submitted
to by the dupes of bondholders, that they will, for the
time to come, be a mark for every needy and dishonest
Government. An advance in Columbian stock was
also obtained in the course of the morning, but it
was not supported, the quotation receding from 271 to
27i. Senor Mosquera's modified terms of conversion
were said to have been at last -forwarded to the Com-
mittee of Spanish American bondholders. It is now
reported that the Commissioner for New Granada will
give, besides 2 per cent. interest for ten years on the
capital applicable to that State, a deferred stock for the
overdue dividends, but that he expresses a doubt
whether, upon this principle, the undertaking can be
faithfull,rrietl out. Cti course-ilicse loan-contracting
States of the Old and New World know nothing about
an honourable and satisfactory discharge of debts, so
long as their creditors are without a high-spirited Mi-
nister to interpose his authority -against the wholesale
system of plunder which is pursued to the detriment of
his countrymen.

SUN.—The Committee of Spanish Bondholders met
this afternoon to settle the preliminaries for the public
meeting on Wednesday.
.Among the resolutions to be
proposed, the following, we understand, will be included :
That a Committee be appointed to correspond with the
one in existence atParis for mutual protection, and that re-
newed applieaticms—the failure of similar attempts both
with Tory and Whig Cabinets, causing the Bondholders
to be nothing daunted—be made to Government for its
interference in behalf of the English creditors.
The funds closed nearly as they opened. Consols for
Money 91+ to t, and for February 911 ; Exchequer
Bills, 18 to 20 prem. ; and India Bonds, 5 prem. ; Bank
Stock, however, was rather lower, being marked 1791.
Colombian Bonds were heavy at 27+ to ; Belgian
rallied to 1024 ; Portuguese New .Five per Cents. to
al+ and Spanish Consols to 26+ ; Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. were heavy at 521 to
Shares were in brisk request and at firmer quota-
tions ; the Great Western New Shares touched 1

premium ; the Manchester and Leeds, 11 prem. ; the
Brighton, 94 dis. ; and the York and North Midland,
101 to 11 prem. ; London and Westminster Bank-
Slnues improved to 4 prem. Assam Company's fell to
dis.

POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Morning Post of this day, alluding to the majority
against Ministers on the question of Prince Albert's grant,
says :—" We own that we did not calculate upon any
thing like so large a majority against Ministers, and we
are heartily glad to see so much evidence of independence
and plain good sense in the House of Commons. It is
true that the case was one of evident justice ; there was
really no excuse for the wanton extravagance proposed by
Government, nor any thing like an excuse; but this has
often been the case, at least in our opinion, with Govern-
ment propositions, which yet have been carried by small
majorities.--The Morning Herald expresses itself in the
following terms, with reference to the debate last night in
the Commons on Prince Albert's grant :—" In the days,
now, alas, gone by I when Ministers of State possessed the
feelings of gentlemen, such a defeat as that sus-
tained last night by the Whigs wquld have led
to the retirement of the Cabinet. As for the
present occupants of office, it is exceedingly doubtful
whether the success of Sir John Buller's motion
would induce them to abandon place and pay. It 13 not
impossible that they might attempt to cc awl on as courtiers,
in defiance of a hostile majority in the Commons. as well
as in the Upper House."—The Morning Chronicle, in a
leading article on the subject of Sir John Yarde Buller's
motion, speaks as follows :—" The proposed vote is an
attack on all political Reform and right, and on all prospect
of their extension. It is an expression of hostility against
the calm and pious course which has been adopted towards
the excesses of Chartism. For trials at Monmouth, it
would substitute massacres at Manchester. It demands
the old regime of Tory terror, suppressing outrages by
means which demolish freedom. It is an expression of
hostility towards the Ballot, and all other improvements of
the representative system.—To this length, in its bearings
on political Reform, the question of to-night manifestly
goes."—The Times makes the following comments on Sir
J. Y. Buller's motion :—" It is a question which every
man in Parliament can answer according to his own views,
and which any man who has a distinct feeling upon the na-
tional interests, must be desirous to answer correspondently
with that feeling. Any attempt, therefore, on the part of
the Queen's Ministers to blink the motion by any oblique
expedient, as by smuggling in once more the privilege ques-
tion for instance, to trip up the adjourned debate on that of
Sir J. Buller, would be no less odious to the House, than
shameful in the eyes of the country."—The Morning
Advertiser remarks as follows on Sir J. Y. Buller's mo-
tion :—" What is the motion ? Why, it professes to be a
simple proposition of a want of confidenne in the existing
Administration ; but every one knows that there is anim-
plied addition to it, which not less distinctly declares, we
have confidence in Sir R. Peel;' its object is not merely
to turn out one set of men, but to introduce another set of
men whose principles are equally well known. This, as
an inevitable result of the adoption of the resolution, must
not for an instant be lost sight of."

SUDDEN ORDERS FOR TROOPS TO THE
CAPE or GOOD HorE.-:=-Late on Sunday evening sudden
orders were received from the Master- General of the Ordnance,
Sir Hussey Vivian, Bart., G. C. 8., for the embarkation with.
out delay of a strong detachment of Sappers and Miners belong-
ing to the corps of Royal Engineers, stationed at Woolwich,
which was carried into effect on Mouday evening, the force
embarking off the Royal Arsenal in the Lloyd freight ship.
On arrival at the Cape they are to be employed upwards of
three hundred miles up the country, and are equipped with rifle
and sword (the same as the Rifle Brigade) instead of only the
latter, as has been customary in that branch of the service.
Tiro light field-pieces and carriages will accompany them.
The Olympic Theatre is said to have been.taken
for a term of five years by Mr. Butler, the tragedian, whose
