BuVwhat mast you thmk-of the Democratic feeling of ihe working men of itohdon , when yon learn that over ' a hnnttred thotisand . ireie sworn in Bpecial- ^ Mtal ^ on & e lOttof ^ prS , ' 1848 ; and that a number ; of ' . them were invited to a grand banquet and entertained by the

Good Gob , O'Higgiss , your blood run cold , as it does mine , to see the daily accounts of the poor unwilling idlers in Ireland , who are obliged to abandon the land of their forefethers , and fly to some foreign land , to sigh o ' er the departed liberty of their country ? You remember what a leader of the people O'CoxxEtL was—how he elevated , not the poor , bat himself , by living and luxuriating
npon their credulity ; and I highly approve of your comment upon his treatment of Shabmah Ceawfoed . I have known Shabman CpjlWxoe » for now nearly twenty years ; and if I was told to put my hand npon the most honourable man in the house of Commons , both as a politician , a landlord , a father , a husband , and a master , I would put it npon Shabman Crawford ; and yet you see how he -was abased by the patriotic , virtnous , honourable , and independent Damel O'Cossell .
You are perfectly correct in your comment npon my letter ; and I read your letter three times over , not only with pleasure but with pride ; but , then , mark this : I had it upon the very best authority , that some of the poor gentlemen , who are too proud to-work , and too poor to live without wages , were actually propounding some plan ta lead the poor , unarmed , and undisciplined English peophintoa revolution ; and perhaps you are not aware of what an English gentleman , who was in the French Revolution , told me should be his course if he could get up a revolution in this country .
He called at my house after the French Revolution , and told me he was prepared to get up a revolution in England . I said , " Very well . Of course , if you are the promoter you will take the command , and be in the front rank T' " Oh , no , " he replied , " a leader should always be in the rear in safety " —so I turned npon my heel , and said , "Go about your business . " Xow , my dear O'Higgixs , you are perfectly aware that when there is a physical force revolution , that the last shot fired constitutes
the victors' trophy ; and I cannot give you a stronger instance than the course -pursued by the Reformers—that is , the middle class Reformers—when the Reform Bill was to be carried ; they carried the King ' s portrait about , with an executioner to cut his head off ; they burned Bristol , Nottingham Castle , and other places ; and as soon as the Reform Bill was carried , fire Welchmen were transported , the Irish Coercion Bill was carried , and the bloodiest and most tyrannical laws were enacted .
2 Jow does not this show you , that a party seeking for power will have recourse to any means to secure power ? and as soon as the power ia achieved , they uill then establish oppression . My dear O'Hksgejs , you have been imprisoned for seeking to destroy tyranny , and so have I ; and we both bore our incarceration calmly , and would not accept liberty to
abandon onr principles . And again I would implore and entreat the English people to look to mental , and not to physical power , as the means of releasing themselves from degradation and slavery . I remain , my dear O'Higgks , Your most Sincere and Faithful Friend and Countryman , Feargus O'Cossoe .
The National Land Company. I Beg Io Call...
THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . I beg io call attention to the two Mowing resolutions , forwarded to me from Snig ' sEnd , and passed by the Allottees of Snig ' s En £ and Lowoands . Here they are : — That the allottees on ( he estates of Sni ^ a End and Lowlands , in public meeting assembled , do hereby resolve to use every endeavour in their power to push forward the bill now before the House of Commons , forwinding-up the "JfationalLiiid Company , " as thej have already petitioned the said house in reference to it , and are prepared to meet the bill in committee , for the purpose of making sach alterations as will be consistent with the best interests of the allottees and shareholders in general .
That the impr isonment of Messrs . Hill , Holland , and Gatbard " , in Oxford Castle , for the costs incurred in the Minster Level case by Mr . O'Connor , we believe to be a gross act of cruelty ; and we cannot refrain from expressing our abhorrence of such conduct , as their only crime has been opposition to proceedings which they believed to be opposed to the best interests of the Company . Signed on behalf of the meeting , April 23 rd . Jons Busweu ., Chairman . Hear my reply to the above . Firstly . —These honourable gentlemen have paid no rent ,
Secondl y . —I was not aware for a long time that Gathabd , Hill , and Hollahi > , had been arrested ; and when I heard that they were in prison , I wrote a letter , in presence of Mr . Bubb and Mr . Beattje , and gave it to Mr . Beattje to post to Mr . Lee , the Solicitor forthe ! Mortgagees , requesting their immediate emancipation ; and the following is Mr . Lee ' s answer to my appeal : — ro t . o ' cosiroB , esq ., slp . Dbab Sib , —The parties in gaol are Gatbard , Hal , and Holland , three very violent and troublesomeenstomers—the first two of whom have been tne r ingleaders , with Seattle , in the opposition to Jon and the mortgagees , and have been the means ** Putting the estate to considerable expense in
pending their ejectment , their avowed object naring been to retain possession of the estate as **« r own property ; and SO much mischief have wese men caused , that I was compelled to send warn to prison , in order to prevent further depreoptions ; and I think if they are now liberated , they " ** " go upon the estate again , and annoy us in fffi possible way . My opinion , therefore , is , *«« they should remain where they are until after « e estate is offered for sale again , in order to pre Jf * * repetition of the annoyance caused by them at the sale in August last . I have written to Mr . vainnery on the subject , tint if he advises the men to discharged . I will letlbem ont . Beattie has left the neighbourhood , or I should « w taken him ..

It is not for the Convention to condemn the acts of any leader , in my humble opinion—but the country at large ; but they are the prosecutor , judge , and jnry , one and all combined ,, In-ray opinion , they are more tyrannical than any Whig government was in this country . As to what Mr . O'Connor said with regard to the national hatred there existed between Eni'land and trance , it is natural forme to think , after . the treachery and cruelty there has been practised towards that
country , and especially towards that party possessing physical power at this moment—that there exists a feeling of jealousy towards this country , OUC not With the democratic party of Faance . This , I think , is the construction Mr . O'Connor intended to put upon his letter to the people of this country . " Without shedding one drop of Wood , if the working class of this country would strictly follow the advice of Mr . O'Connor , and assist him in getting our Social Bights , with less talk about them by us , theLand , which is our birthright , would speedily be in our possession .

Protectionist Demonsteatioif Df Edinburg...
PROTECTIONIST DEMONSTEATIOIf Df EDINBURGH . The long-fciiked-of dinner under the auspices of the Scotch Protection Society , came off in the Music-hall , Edinburgh , on Tuesday evening . About seven hundred persons dined , and a considerably greater number would ( it was said ) hare done so had it been possible to obtain tickets . Between two and three hundred gentlemen were present as spectators in the gallery , while on the platform behind the chairman there might be about as many ladies . The Earl of Eglintonn occupied the chair , andLord John Scott , M . P ., discharged the duties of croupier . —The routine toasts having been disposed of the ' noble chairman proposed "The Protectionist cause , and the health of Lord Stanley
its leader . " The noble lord concluded a speech of considerable length amidst loud cheers . —SheriffAllison , in the course of a long speech proposed" The House of Lords . "—The toast was responded to with loud cheers . —Lord Lauderdale briefly acknowledged the compliment . —Professor Aytoun proposed " The House of Commons , and the Health of Mr . Disraeli . " ( Loud cheers . )—Mr . Christopher , M . P ., after regretting the absence of Mr . Disraeli on the occasion , acknowledged the compliment ; and , in alluding to the £ » ilure , cf Lord Stanley to form a Cabinet , said it was owing io several adverse circumstances , to which he would allude . It must be remembered that of that party there are only one or two who were ever in office before ; and
the present government cunningly-devised their mode of resignation at a time when not only the Mutiny Bill was unread in the House of Commons , but when not a single sum of money wasvotedto carry on the government of the country , and when Sir J . Graham , stepping irom the high position he was entitled to assume , and once assumed , as the constitutional adrtser of a constitutional Sovereign , counselled the army to mutiny and the people of Ireland to rebel if the identical measures were carried which Lord Stanley would have felt it his duty to propose . ( Hear , hear . } la these
circumstances it was Lord Stanley ' s duty to consider what security he had for the safety of the sovereign and of the country if he had assumed the reigns of government . ( Loud cheers . ) There is no doubt whatever that , since these circumstances have been in a great measure removed by the progress of the session , if ever again that noble lord should be called to place himself at the bead of the councils of the sovereign , he would be successful in forming an administration . ( Loud applause . ) Various toasts followed , such as " The Tenant Farmers , " "Ships , Colonies , and Commerce , '' and the meeting separated at twelve o ' clock .
The Exhibition. Season Tickets.—In Conse...
THE EXHIBITION . Season Tickets . —In consequence of the immense demand for tickets of admission for the opening ( no less than 10 , 000 having been applied for on Wednesday ) the Executive committee decied that from Thursday morning the price should be increased by a guinea each , in the hopo that this addition to the charge would limit the number of visitors to something like what the arrangements originally contemplated would accommodate . The demand for tickets on Thursday , notwithstanding the increase , of price , was still considerable .
Thb Model Feioate for the Serpentine . —The model of a twenty-gun frigate has been built in the Dockyard , Woolwich , and is now ready for rigging . This beautiful little craft is thirty-eight feet long , and of twenty-six tons burthen , and will befitted and rigged , even to the minutest detail , as one of the frigates in her Majesty ' s service . The bottom of the vessel is sheathed with copper , and her keel is of iron , weighing twenty-three cwt . She will be navigated by twenty boys . . Met bilge-ways are already put on , and she will be launched into the river on Saturday
morning next , and be towed up the river to the Tower on the same day by a steamer . On the following day she will be towed by boats , and at the height of the tide , betwixt twelve o ' clock oa Sunday night and one o ' clock on' Monday morning , be taken on shoreatVauxhallBridge , and be conveyed overland to the Serpentine River , in Hyde Park , where she will be launched at an early boar on Monday mormng before the traffic commences in the streets she will have to pass along . The rigging is now all ready , and will be put up on her masts when afloat in the Serpentine .
* Afjkmbb Shotbt A Ciebgtju5.—A Verdict ...
* AFjkmbb Shotbt a Ciebgtju 5 . —A verdict of manslaughter has been returned by the coroner ' s jury against the Eev . Mr . Smith , who shot a farmer , believing him to be a burglar . This verdict having been given , the Coroner said he had a great deal to prepare before he could conclude the proceedings , therefore he suggested the adjournment of the court to Thursday , when he would read Over the depositions and take the recognisances . The jury were then bound overin their own recognisances to prosecute the inquiry until it was finally completed . At this moment the Rev . Mr . Benson , the vicar of Brampton , entered the room in great
haste , and evidentally in a state of painful excitement , and exclaimed— " He ' s quite gone , quite gone ; the poor man ( alluding to Mr . Smith , ) he is quite gone out of his mind . " —This caused great sensation and sympathy amongst those who remained . —It appeared that Mr . Smith had been told the result ofthe . inquiry . which so overwhelmed him , that he cried and sobbed like a child . —Mr . Graham certified that the rev . gentleman was in such a state of mind that it would be most dangerous to communicate anything to him of an exciting nature . An application is to be made to a judge to admit Mr . Smith to bail without his having to appear before the magistrates .
Robbsrt of tbb Ex-Mayob of Lekus . —As . the late Majorof Leeds ( JosephBateson , Esq . ) , wasproceeding home from the half-yearly dinner of the Borough Magistrates , at half-past eleven o ' clock on Wednesday night , be was stopped by three men in Woodhouserlane , who knocked him down and robbed him of " a gold watch , with guard and two gold seals . The perpetrators of theoutrage have not been detected . n _ , V Thk lira Loan Lakgoale . —On Thursday morning , at half-past ten , the mortal remains of this noble and learned lord were interred in the vault of the Temple Church .

ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION" TO THE PEOPLE . ' . •''' ¦ Fellow Counthyjies ' I—The time for action—for calm , thoughtful , energetic action , has arrived . The Programme adopted by the National Convention must be carried out , step by step ; and we now direct your attention to the iirst practical- measure we can adopt—the National Petition . Clause 3 of the first section of the Pro gramme runs as follows : — .
That a national petition for the Charter be presented to parliament , such petition to be prepared on the following plan : —Simultaneous meetings for passing the petition to' be held in every town or borough where practicable . At such meetings two tellers to be appointed to count the numbers present ; the petition , together with a declaration affirming the numbers in favour of such petition , to be signed by the tellers and the chairman of the meeting .
We , therefore , now call on you to hold wellprepared and efficient meetings , as above alluded tot as it is requisite that a Petition to Parliament should be presented before the session closes . We are aware of the prejudice against petitioning , —it is , therefore , that a detailed plan of petitioning has not been adopted , but the easy method of petitioning , en masse , by aggregate meetings . We implore you not to let prejudice stand in your way ; it is decided that the question of the Charter shall be brought forward in the House . The Programme of the Convention has now been read by all sections of the
community ; the country knows that public meetings have been summoned by that Convention for the purpose . It is , therefore , necessary that such meetings should be hold . It is most important that those meetings should be sufficiently general to give weight and dignity to our cause;—again , shall the motion for the Charter in the House be merely supported b y an individual voice , or shall it be backed by an expression of popular will ? At a time when minor franchise measures are coming before Parliament , shall ours , the greatest , the " most important of all , be the only one that is not urged with adequate voice and power ?
Recollect that the petition is expected—the public knows that the Convention decided thus ; . these meetings are looked forward toif , from any little prejudice , you abstain from holding them , and holding them efficiently , you cast a stigma on your delegates , you create a belief in your weakness—a weakness which does not exist . The power of your cause is engaged in the measure . We , therefore , now
summon you to hold public meetings throughout the country , on the plan proposed by the Convention—such meetings to take place during the month of May . Do not shrink , in anyplace , from holding meetings , from the belief that their numbers may not he large . Hold them wherever you can—let the numbers in favour of the Charter be well verified , and send the petitions up to us as soon as passed .
These meetings will be the first opportunity for the aggregate expression of your views since the issue of the Programme b y the Convention . As such , they are necessary on this ground alone ; and , since a new phase of our movement will be developed from the basis laid by that assembly , it is requisite that a national gathering of Democracy should give the impulse to our renewed and improved agitation ,
Another duty also devolves on you—that agitation requires funds . We refer you to the resolution of the Convention relative to a national subscription of threepence from every professing Democrat . Surely many could give more—let all give what they can . One shilling each from a million men would enable us to carry the Charter . That money is wanted , and wanted sow , if you wish to be prepared for the future . That money is wanted for you—not for onrselves—we are your gratuitous servants—for your cause—for the cause of all mankind .
It is our aim to guide the Chartist movement through the dangers of the approaching thne ^—with calm dignity—gathering strength from converted mind , and baffling opposition by disarming prejudice . We will have no stormy broil—no dangerous demonstration , that maybe used to advantage by our enemies ; for the turning-point of our movement is at hand—class government is falling of its own corruption , alienating its own supporters by its errors . They shall not father their sins on our shoulders .
We caution you not to listen to the idle tales afloat , relative to conspiracies and insurrections—weak devices of the enemy , to ensnare unwary friends , and distance wavering allies . We caution yon not to follow any rash advice—it is your calmness , more than your violence , that your enemies fear . Give us the means , and this summer shall see such an advance in Chartist progress , such an increase in Chartist numbers , as have not been witnessed yet . We are not of those who promise largely—but we have calculated our strength , we have counted the elements of democracy that are in existence— and we feel , we know , that we can work them up , ' if you supply us with the means .
Signed on behalf of the Committee , John Arnott , General Secretary . Mr . Reynolds having voluntered to attend as a deputation from the Execntire at the public meeting to he held at the Phoenix Tavern , Ratcliffecross , on Tuesday evening . next , the Committee adjouraed to .

*« 5 > BBS ^ i-The " Chartists of this town held their usual weekly meeting on Sunday evening last ' , when the following address to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., was unanimously passed : — "TO FBABODS O ' CONSOR , ESQ , " , M . P , "Reviled and Pebshcutkd Friesdof the Peori . E , ~ We cannot but express our disgust at the repeated aitempfcs . of yourcnemies ( urged on , we have no doubt , by some of your" professed friends ) to injure your reputation , and destroy your popularity . The . charge of hypocrisy , or false democrat , brought against you by the French Refugees , is , in our opinion ,- ( and we have watched your actions from tho commencement of : the Chartist movement ) ,. tOO glarinff a > falsehood , to have any effect whatever on
the minds of the thinking , portion of the working classes . We are of opinion that the French Refugees have been made the-dupes of some designing English knave or knaves , who have not tho moral courage to attack you themselves / Wo sincerely thank Patrick O'Biggins for his manly letter ; but at the same time , wo do net , with that gentleman , wish your letters had never been written . No ;• we heartily thank you- for tho warning thus given .. If your previous warnings had been sufficiently taken notice of and acted upon , we should not now have to deplore the loss' of some of the best supporters of our principles—a Clayton , a Ilolbery , a Duffy a Williams , and a Sharp would not have been "dungeoned to death . ' Neither would Frost , "Williams ,
Jones , Ellis , Cuffay , and others , be now : in a penal settlement ; nor would our cause be in its present apathetic condition . These martyrs and expatriated patriots would most likely bo now spreading the principles of Democracy . ; and thousands of the timid , who were frightened away from our association in the ' 39 outbreak , the ' 42 plug-plot , and the insane policy pursued in ' 48 , would now be swelling the Chartist ranks , had your warning voice been heeded ; therefore , it is , Dear Sir , that wefhank you for the warning now given . The errors of the past should make the people cautious for the future . You were blamed for your previous warnings at the time when they were given ; and instead ofthe Convention passing their condemnatory resolution , wo
are " of opinion you merited their united thanks for your timely advice to the people ; we think that the Convention might have spent its time in a better manner than abusing you . Why did they bring the question forward in your absence ? They had opportunities sufficient to broach the subject in your presence .

National Land And Labour Loan Society. T...
NATIONAL LAND AND LABOUR LOAN SOCIETY . The first public meeting of ibis body was held on Wednesday evening , at the City Chartist Hall . Owing to the Easter holy days the attendance was not so numerous as bad been anticipated , nevertheless a considerable number of the oldest and most influential of the shareholders ; resident in the metropolis , were present . Mr . Bmomheld having been called to the chair , commenced by reading a letter from Mr . John Shaw , who had been appointed to take the chair . He detailed the'objects of the meeting , and expatiate d on the injustice of saddling Mr . O'Connor with the expense of the Bank , and showed that it was the prejudice of the press , the unfavourable nature of the seasons , and the unfitness of the located
members , which had caused the partial failure of theplan , and not any particular fault of Mr . O'Connor . He thought that a due attention to their own interests would induce all the shareholders to join them in the object they had in view . The chairman then called upon the secretary to give the reasons for founding the society , and tho method of its operaticn . Mr . Wheeler then laid ' before tho meeting the reasons which induced the committee to establish the society . They were anxious to save the vast funds which had been subscribed to the company , from being frittered away in trifling payments to individual members ; this feeling , he knew , was preva ent among the great majority of the shareholders . It could . be easily effected by the shareholders depositing their scrip in the hands of' the society , until a dividend was declared upon the winding up of the Company . If they collected by this means scrip to the value of £ 50 , 000 out of tho
£ 100 , 000 received by the Company , and a dividend of 10 s . Od . in the pound was declared , they would have £ 25 , 000 to receive , with which sum they could purchase a considerable amount of the property of the Company . The dividend of tho Company would , in a great measure , depend upon the price realised by the sale of the estates . If they sold well the dividend would be large . If Cheap , tho dividend would be reduced ; this would be an injury to individual shareholders , but would not injure the proposed society , as they would be enabled to purchase , an equal amount of property with" a" small as with a large -dividend . The society also "intended to . raise an . additional fund by shares of £ 1 each ; with a portion' of the capital thus raised , they intended to grant loans upon the scrip of those persons who did not feel inclined to deposit it with the society , or to whom an immediate monetary benefit was of more importauco , than to await a pfevioi of t * or three

yftars before a final dividend couM be declared . With judicious innaflgi'mcni tins would lie an impoitmt pecuniary auxiliary io the snciWy , aiid would likewise confer u bem .-iit on liunnws of poor , though sincere , supporters of iheir priimipics . In i-hesu times it was very uilfiirtt . 't for a paw man to obtain Uio neees » : irv suretii' * for a loaii , : u , d in tlio inajori y of inst ances the h \ U " . vsl UHaiy ' . 'd . 'i ^! iho nnus deducted were enormous . The society would ecu no fartherrocuriiy than ihcfciip and ; i note of hand from tim borrower ; it would thus ohvioto the u . j . ieuity and exposure consequent v . r . on the t'Wielality ol loan societies ; it would charen the " rate ot interest , and oo in conformity witl . ' thc act of Parliament , thus placing all their transact ions
i Within thopalo of- tho law . T ho amount of business they could transact in that lino would ofoourio depend upon the number ' of £ 1 shares taken up . By adopting theplan of giving a loan un-. m tho scrip instead of purchasing it , " they would not be liable to the charge of fating advantage of the necessities of their ' poorev brethren , and would bo ena « bled to turn their capital to ad vant . igc several times over before the final winding up ofthe Company ;; whereas in the case of purchase it would lie dead until that period . Mr . Wheeler then explained other portions of the workings of the society , and showed the trouble and expense it would save thb country shareholders by tho society holding tha scrip and taking the necessary steps to redeem it " . To accomplish this , and defray tho oxpenso of
registration , depositing it with tho trustees , and proving tho claim before the official managers and the Musters in ' Chancery , they proposed that all persons depositing scrip with them should pay threepence on a £ 2 12 s . share , and sixpence on a « o -Is . share . Mr . Wheeler then read and explained tho rules , and concluded by stating that they wished to do everything- openly , and courted Oppo * sition , lie then appealed to these present , and through them to the shareholders of tho empire ; to deposit their scrip with the society , and envoi themselves as shareholders , provided they were satisfied with tho soundness of the plan . As soon as a sufficient number of persons were enrolled , officers would be appointed , and responsible trustees elected . : .
Mr . Bibaiton moved the following resolution ; - * " That , in the opinion of-this meoting , thoNa--tionjil Land and labour loan Society is calculated ^ P ~ M ^^^^ - - W ^ Ki ^ 9 k ^^ ii 8 . started , and Become a means' ' spreading the p ' riiiciples ^ O . f 00 * operation , thus assisting to effect , the emancipation of mankind from tho thraldom of wages-slavery . " Tho experience of the past . would . enable them to overcome many difficulties which had hithertoproved fatal to tho society . The importance of locating their surplus labour upon tho land was admitted on all hands , and tho society afforded a ready moans of achieving this object . He then £ ave >
an elabovate resume of the present state of tllO ia « bourer , and called on . them to take up shares , and " deposit their scrip in tho bauds of the society . The whole land of tho country could , by tho simpla means laid down by the secretary , speedily become the property ofthe people ; neither were they compelled to confine then-operations to the land alone—* tho wholo labour field was equally open to them . During a long discourse the speaker was much applauded . Ho concluded by stating that tho society , need not wait until the Land Company was wound up ; but could almost immediately commence operations by purchasing a portion of land . Mr . Windklkp . seconded the resolution .
A Gis . mEMAN wished to know the probable sum which they could lend upon tho scrip of the shaveholders . .. The C « aihma . v and Skcretabv explained that they had appointed a deputation to wait on the Direc * tors , to ascertain the exact amount of the present expenditure , and its probable increase , until tho period of its being finally wound up ; against this , they had as a sct-oif , tho large Expense Fund raised by the Company , and tho increase of the dividends , by the vast number of small amounts paid into'tho Company , which it would never pay the holders' to prove or claim ; Mr . Wheeler further stated t ) w 6
the whole of ibis information should bo faithfully laid before them , and it would be their own fault if they allowed themselves to he deceived . Tho society must not lend more on scrip than it was positive it could realise ; at present they only thought of lending 5 s . in the . £ 1 ; but if no further obsiruction was offered to the hill for winding-up the Company , he had no doubt thy should bo enabled considerably to increase their loans .. It was a business transaction , and must bo treated as other-commercial transactions—according to its value in tho money market .
Mr . Isaac Wilson asked several questions relative to tho rules , which the Secretary satisfactorily explained . Messrs . Endeas , Batten and others briefly ad dressed the meeting . Mr . J . Wilson did not rise to object to tho rules , but to the speech made . by Mr . Sfc ' ratton . The Land Company had entirely deceived him ; not cno of . its promises had been realised . Tho grand notions which had been put forth were entirely at variance with the . results of the com pany . Feelers had been from time to time thrown out to induce silly shareholders to part with their scrip . Ho thought it was an attempt to throw a shield around ' those who deserved condemnation for their errors . If
the expenses had been small , whore was the necessity for winding up the Company ? He wished . % society to be formed to secure every man his rightful due of dividend , Ho feared it was an attempt to get the scrip of tho poor man at an unfair price , and was meant to serve the interest of parties Who xtero kept in the hack ground . Tho plan \ ri \ 3 a complete failure , and should bo wound up , and he would not'be . v party to attempt to resuscitate it . ¦ It would draw attention from tho honest winding up of the Company . Mr . Slocombe : As a loan society they were not called upon to take an active part in opposing or supporting the Bill for Winding up tho Company . Tho Committee of the House of Commons were not likely to act favourably to Mr . O'Connor ' s
interest . Mr . Wilson might safely leave it to them . He denied that tho plan had been a failure . The very allottees who so numerously attended the meeting , called by Messrs . Wilson and Stall wood , all stated their anxiety to retain their allotments , and to get leases on them . It was necessary to wind up the Company because ot the mortgagees thereon , and the refusal of the allottees to pay rent , by which alone the interest on the mortgagees could be paid . He denied that he or tho rest of . tho committee wished to throw a shield over any one ; it was Mr . Wilson and his friends who , by opposing tho winding-up , were protracting a settlement and keeping the present directors in office . Mr . Wilson asked further questions , which were answered .
Mr . -Mather : Whenever working men endeavoured to benefit themselves somo one always attempted to throw obstacles in their way ; they professed to bo looking to the interests of their poor brethren , whilst their conduct was injuring them . A large amount of dividend would be lost to some of the poor shareholders in tho country , unless they deposited thoir scrip with tho Society . He denied that they were tools in the hands 0 / any man . He was , ho believed , the first to mention tho subject to Mr . Wheeler , and he felt pleased with tho businesslike manner in which it had been taken up . Mr . Batibs was utterly unacquainted with any of the directors . He attended tne meeting called by Mr . Wilson , and mentioned the subject to tho secretary , being in favour of tho spread of co-operative principles . He had taken five shares in the new society , and had induced other friends in the Poplar district to join it .
Mr . French and others showed , that so far from its being an attempt to get the scrip of poor shaveholders at a reduced price , it would confer a great boon apon them . He only wished a similar society had been started at the same time as the Land Company . The dissatisfaction which now existed at their money laying idle , would never have occurred . Upon the resolution being put , Mr . Slocombe moved , and Mr . Mather seconded ; — " That it should cease at the word 'co-operation . ' The latter portion would convey too high sounding a notion of the means of the society . The amendment having been put received but few votes .
The original resolution was then carried unanimously . A considerable sum was paid in for shares . A collection was made to defray the expenses of the meeting which adjourned until the ensuing Wednesday ; to meet at the same place . All communications to be addressed to tho secretarv , T . M . Wheeler , 19 , Mercer-street , Longacre . ' All letters to contain a postage stamp for reply .
