THE CHAliiisT CONVICTS.

, As the t(ials of the Chartists are now over, and OU ustiCll
etaggeration and misrepresentation exists as to rcltiiive hea-
viness of sentences passed at the different Commisslons, we
cannot do better than give a tabular view of all the sentences
hitherto passed upon rioters connected with the recent turn-
out. The table will serve to show the extent of the out-
break itself, and will, we doubt not, be preserved as an his-
toric memorial of a season of danger and difficulty unparal-
leled in these districts, since the days of King Ludd.

To which we must add 8 sentenced at Stafford to different
terms of imprisonment without hard labour, of which two
are Chartist agitators, one of whom is sentenced to two
years and three months, and the other to two years' im-
prisonment ; but the other sentences we have not learned.
The above table embodies all the courts before which rioters
have been tried, viz.,—the Assize-court at York, the Com-
misSions at Chester, Liverpool, and Stafford, and the Ses-
sions at Salford, Preston, and Nottingham. In order to
render the table complete, we give the following additional
particulars in reference to the trials at York, Liverpool, and
Stafford:—

So that, altogether, 78 Chartist convicts have been trans-
ported, 590 imprisoned for various terms to hard labour,
(about 200 to one year and upwards), and 60 released on a
bond of good behaviour, to receive judgment if broken. The
thirty-three who have traversed are all Chartist leaders; and
recent committals will, PO doubt, have made up the number
yet to be tried, at somewhere about half a hundred. Such
are the judicial statistics of the most absurd of turn-outs.
The pecuniary effects remain yet to be ascertained.

The author of a numerous progeny of daughters, anxiously
awaiting the arrival of another addition to his family, in the
hope of being a son to inherit his father's name and property,
was much downcast on hearing the announcement that an-
other daughter was born to him. A triend who stood by
clapped him on the shoulder and said, " Never mind, my
dear sir, you can have a Harry yet" (Harriet.)

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. Nov. 23.
The supplies are moderate of Wheat and Oats, and of Barley
very large, but the trade is dull, even at the depressed prices of
las, market day. The whole prospects of the trade are extremely
dull, and any change in the duties are difficult to be now for C6CCII.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. Nov. 23.
During the present week, as might be expected from the distress
in the leading markets, very few operations in Wheat are reported,
and though sales are not much pressed, a reduction of is per qr.
would be submitted to on all descriptions. Malting Barley in stow
request, at former currency ; nothing doing in grinding. Oats
saleable a lower prices. Only retail parcels of Beans or Pease can
be disposed of.
