SIR JOHN CAMPBELL AND THE DUDLEY

MAGISTRATES.

DUDLEY, SLrr. 1, 1833.—Yesterday an explosio❑ of
what here is called wildfire, took place in a pit near the
Red Ball public house, on the road side between this
town and Oldbury; when, lamentable and awful to relate,
13 men became victsms to the devouring element. The
pits in this neighhonrhood are very deep, but notwith-
standing which, the flame issued out of the mouth of the
one in which this dreadful accident happened as out of a
chimney when on fire.

Sir John Campbell is expected here during this week,
and his reception will be somewhat different from what
it would have been but for his denunciation of the
Dudley Magistrates, which has given very general sa-
tisfaction, and in the same degree made their worships,
who are branded to all eternity, furious. They get a
few persons (artily of whom, though moving in rather
a superior station in society, stand in need of a cha-
racter themselves,) to sign a certificate in their favour,
but this step, as all reflecting men acknowledge, has
only sunk the magistrates deeper in degradation. Their
not having made an enquiry into their judicial conduct,
which Sir John said was such as he would not describe
in their absence, a condition of remaining in the Gina-
mission, does not exhibit them in any favourable light ;
and a certificate of character, signed by a few of their
iends and their dependents, will never wipe away the
stain. It is, to use a familiar expression of one of them,
" all chaff." The question is, have the magistrates, as
the Solicitor-General's speech implied, violated justice,
and, consequently, their oaths. If they have, they ought
to be cashiered; if they have not, Sir John ought to he
visited with punishment as a calumniator. Till an in-
vestigation has taken place, and their worships are pro-
nounced innocent, they never can enjoy either respect or
confidence on the judicial Bench. " Investigation" should
he their cry, morning, noon, and night.
THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
There was a fair return of most kinds of Grain last week
and the trade throughout remained without variation. This
morning the fresh ,upply of Wheat, chiefly new, was tolerably
good, of other Grain moderate. There was a heavy storm of
wind and rain on Friday night and Saturday, which has pro-
duced no effect on the market. The weather being now yery
fine again the wheat trade has been dull this morning, and ex-
cept for a few superfine samples may be reported Is. per qu,rter
lower than last Monday. Grinding Barley is rather dearer. New
Malting Barley, very dry and tolerably stout, has sold at 34s to
365. per quarter. Old Beans are rather dearer. New Ticks 30s.
to 335. ; Harrow 335. to 355., very diy. Boiling and Gray Peas,
as last reported. Oats meet a fair sale at a trifling nnprovement
in value. Flour in middling supply, and a moderate demand at
last quotation. New Winter Tares very dull in sale.
