THE LAND COMPANY
5ph6 Following Letter, Relative Io The T...
5 Ph 6 following letter , relative io the transfer of Land b y allottees , has been forwarded to me . This is the letter ; and at foot will be grand my answer . JVoni Iasseb , occupant at Lo wDands , to lip . Morgan , of Deptibrd : — "Jan . 21 st , 1849 . "Deis Mobgas , —I received your letter this morning , 4 lsidyoiL * wish me to send you the particulars respecting t 2 ze jdfotment that is for sale . A party , nhohas left , has badnotbSng of the Company but the Aid money , "and the interest ofthat will be charged in the rent . "There is one year ' s Xeot to be charged to all those who sell , and three years are allowed for those - who buy to pay it to the Company . 32 te Directors nave nothing at all to * do -with . it . If a man likes to sell his allotment , nobody can interfere with him . " BEPLY . My answer to the above letter is , that , as jgoon as the Company is completel y registered , every man who has taken possession of an allotment , or rented an allotment without payjjjw the Aid money , and all amounts due to the Company , will be summarily ejected ; and , thc-reforej those who purchase from the occutmnt , and pay to him any portion of money due to the Company , will have committed the wrong withhiseyes open , and cannotblamo the Directors . 2 sb doubt the occupant would be in a very fascinating situation who received
p £ 30 Aid money , besides the cultivation of his % allotment , and also received a bonus from the ^ purchaser , without returning the demands of jlihe Company . The proposition in my letter , ^ relative to the postponement of payment of || rent , does not refer to transfers made since the ^ Conference , or since the potato rot , nor does it i refer to those who are able to pay their rent . ' fjjet it therefore be distinctly understood , that f ^ iny allottee who has sold , from the comijrjnencement of the Company , without refond-^ Ing alt that was due to the Company , has % committed a fraud upon the . purchaser , who 1 will be instantl y ejected , and the allotment asf- signed by bonus .
All purchasers must return the Aid money ; the Loan money ( if had ); the amount chargeable for cultivation ; and the amount of rent due up to the day of transfer ; and all those who have sub-let "will be dealt with in precisel y the ea me manner ; as I am resolved , that , let the growth of the Land Company be slow or rapid , it never shall be converted into a society of Land sharks , allowing the most fortunate to rob the industrious , who is willing to purchase s and the nnlocated memherB . Feargus O'Coxnob .
P . S . It isbutjustice toTAXNERto state , that the letter does not refer to his own allotment , and is written in ignorance of the fects ; that the remainder of his letter is written in a very good spirit , stating that any distress that exists is consequent upon the wetness of the weather , -which the oldest inhabitant does not remember being equalled for twenty , years ; and , of course , Morgan was quite right in forwarding the letter before he committed himsel £ in ignorance of the roles . F . O'C .
To The Chartists. I Insert The Following...
TO THE CHARTISTS . I insert the following letter received from the solicitor -who defended Mr Vernon , and I entirely agree "with it , that it is a hardshipnay , ascandal—that a professional gentleman , Tvho paid money out of his own pocket , and conducted the defence of his client ably , should be p laced in such a situation ; and I assure you that it not only mortifies me , as a gentleman , but it considerably damages you , as a party , to be guilty of such real dishonesty . Don't talk about the people ' s inability to discharge their just debts , while they "will drink on Saturday night next ten thousand times as ffineh as would nav all their liabilities , and
leave thousands to carry on their cause . They know that their p rinci p les are my principles ; they know that no power on earth would buy me bribe mo , frighten me , or induce me 1 » give up those principles ; and , therefore , they most ungenerously , unfairly , and dishonestl y make me the scape-goat to bear all their sins . Famine is raging in Ireland ; the Irish people are derided and mocked at , but I will venture to say that the poorest Irishman has
never been allowed to go to trial for a political offence without the best and ablest counsel ; and that no Irish solicitor has ever been left without his costs . Perhaps you may say , that in Ireland they "would have no one to appeal to ; but my answer is , that no appeal is ever necessary ; while you in England would saddle me with all your responsibility . However I have the honour to remain , A Chartist , though all should abandon the principles , and neglect the
performance of their duties , Feakgus O'Connor . Barnard ' s Inn , 24 th January , 1849 . Deis Sib , —It is with some satisfaction I read your letter addressed to the "Defence Fund" in the Northern Star Of The loth inst , and I would ask what inducement can there he for the professional man and legal adviser to defend any of the Chartist leaders , if all the time , labour , and eipease is to be paid out of his own pocket . In the case of Mr . Vernon , I was solicited by that gentleman to contiuct his defence . I took his defence up , but hare not ret
been paid , with about £ 80 out of pocket—my claim being , in fact nearer to £ 170 or £ 180 , than £ 70 or £ 80 , as mentioued in tout letter—no doubt an error in the printing , as my bill , delivered to you some months ago , amounting to £ 16 ' 3 and upwards , will show , and several claims hare been Knt to me since on the part of witnesses , short-hand writers , ic . In jour letter jou use the terms " Grasping Solicitors . " I presume that as my claim is still unpaid , and as I have brought no action against you , the appellation does notallude to myself . I remain , dear Sir , yours faithfully , J . G . Naos . Feargus O'Connor , Esq .. UP .

TO THE WORKING CLASSES . My Friemjs , my Dear Friends , If ever you read any production with attention I invite—nay , I implore—your strictest attention to the following ^ communication , extracted from the "Times" newspaper . Do pray read it ; and you mechanics , artificers , artisans , and perfumed Athenseum gentlemen , who would be ashamed to eat a potato or cabbage if you knew they grew in dung , and were produced by vulgar agricultural labourrecollect , that if yon turn up your noses at that labour , that nevertheless it is the labour
^; » -the onl y labour—which g ives vitality and § s Iriskness to your several trades ; as the vulgar % " agriculturist does not make his own spade , his H own shovel , his own rake ^ his- hoe , or his ^ wheelbarrow ; his hat , his breeches , or his V brogues ; his shirt , his flannel waistcoat , or his ; stockings that he does not grind his own ¦ l . flour for whichyou make machinery—he is not " £ bis own butcher , his own baker , or his own jp maltster , which trades you inpply- ' withihe ' iie ^ . |? eessary implements ; but , thoug h he does none MM those things , he colhs'his 8 Weat ihftrthe ei-% ¦ changeable medium " which enables mahofac- ' H turers and tradesmen to deal more extensivel y % i " ^ ith you , to supply his several wants .
Oh , how I think I see the perfumed engineer w millwri ght taking his Sunday walk , with bis kid-skin gloves , cocking up his nose at the tare idea of being in any way associated with & e vulgar clodpole , who is , perhaps , at that moment cleaning out his pigsty . But , bowk-it , this Labour Question must be traced h < m its source , and that source is the Land ; I * ' ! it must be refreshing to my many dupes P find that , as I predicted , the Press , of all asses and factions , is now beg inning to nibble

the statute acre . The men work in gangs of six each . They take care to match themselves , as some are much more expert than others . At present he gives employment to 500 men . Often he has as manv as 1 , 000 . Nearly , if not all his labour , is done by task-work—even the reaping . He encourages digging matches , by offering premiums to the best and quickest gangs of six ; and by this means his men have become so expert , that even at the low rate of 6 s . 8 d . the acre they can earn from lOd . to Is . 3 d . per day . How noble his conduct appears to be , compared to that of many of the narrow-minded country squires , who have declared to me that they would not improve one inch of their lands , because , in so doing , they would benefit the neighbouring property as well as their own , by keeping the rates down .
" John Hamilton is now draining a large extent of the land held by his tenants ; but I cannot state on what terms . If aU the landlords of Ireland would follow his example , we should have but trifling poor rates , no able-bodied labourers wanting employment , and could spare food that would support one-fourth of the people of England , and leave plenty for all our own people . " As an instance of the difficulties and obstructions which strangers , bent upon ameliorating the condition of the Irish people must be prepared to encounter in their career of usefulness , Mr . Lamb quotes the following : —
" With the last number of my notes I gave some extracts from the report of two Manchester merchants , who travelled over nearly three-fourths of our island last autumn , to see , with their own eyes , the true state of Ireland and the Irish . When in the County of Limerick , at Castle Connell , they inquired if there was any one in that locality reclaiming waste land ? They ' were directed to James JI'Nabb , of Mona-lodge . They called on him , arid he politely showed them over his farm , and explained the whole process of reclamation . They say ; — ' W « were highly interested in what we saw ; and are convinced that the bogs of Ireland , under similar circumstances and management , maybe reclaimed . The farm consists of 272 statute acres . " Eight years ago . he set to work upon this
bog land , which as land for agriculture , was not then worth 6 d , an acre . He has reclaimed 120 acres ; sixteen is under plantation , and the remainder ( 104 ) under crop . The produce of his potatoes , wheat , and oats , was equal in quantity and quality , to that of the best land in Ireland ; and his garden produces as fine vegetables as any in the island , which is saying a g reat deal . The condition of the cattle and sheep upon the farm was most beautiful We saw a field of clover , which had been three times mowed this year , and was then most luxuriant , where there was nothing but deep bog five years ago . The land reclaimed is on a bog , six feet deep ,- yet the surface is sound , elastic , and hard . On this farm of 104 acres , which eight years aeo would not have fed a sroat . he - now has twentymilch cows , fourteen bullocks , twenty-sir cabes , fifty sheep , three horses , and twelve pigs . He sends 130 boat loads of turf to Limerick annually , — each load ; on an average , is
worth £ 10 . This gives great employment to the people , besides reclaiming the land ; the handling of the turf cmploys old men , women , and children . This bog was let , twenty-three years ago , for a term of 999 years , at a fixed rent , yet the present proprietor brought and action to recover possession , and it was tried last July , at Limerick . Theplea set up was , that the father of the present proprietor had no power to grant such a lease , and that the land was poached .. The idea of poaching a bog was laughed at , and scouted out of court by a verdict in tavour of Hr . M'Xabb . The landlord threatens to carry the case to the House of Lords ; it is possible that he will see the folly , if not the injustice , of such a step . The jury were composed of landed proprietors , not farmers . We feel confident that , should he follow out his threats , * and the case become known , a subscription in England would most readily be raised to assist Mr ; M'Nabb in defending the action . "
When Lundyfoot , the great snuff merchant , made a large fortune , Curran advised him to accept the following as his famil y motto : —
" Oh holy Moses 2 Who'd think that noses Could do all this . " 2 fcrw though I have a very old family motto , an Irish one , which translates into " Fair and easy goes far , " I repudiate the antiquity , and adopt the following : — " Oh holy Argus ! "Who'd think that Fargus Could do all this . '
You will find from the above , that it is asserted that the starving Irish could each year export to England a fourth of the necessaries required b y her people . And this , mind , in the teeth of the invitation to emigrate , and the moonshine about over-population . See the fact , that the propert y of Lord PalMERsto > % cleared and cultivated by the spade , has been doubled in value in the course of a year or two .
See , and read , and think , upon the fact , that Sir . Hamilton , whose letter to Mr . Charles Coulthuust , I quoted some weeks ago , has adopted the system of spade husbandry , and ponder well upon its result as regards prop rietor and labourer . The man who can earn eightpence a-day in Ireland is only too happy , while you find some gangs working for Mr . Hamilton earning fifteen pence a-day b y task labour—and I will warrant that those LAZY , IDLE , REPROBATE , UNTHRIFTY VAGABONDS , breakfast by rushlight , and are watching for daylig ht to commence their task , and are longing for moonli ght and the long ni g hts to continue it .
Now , do you think that any one of those labourers would shoot Lord Palmerston or Mr , HAMILTON ? Not a bit of it ; They would constitute then * bod y guard , and risk their lives in their defence . So much for Irish ingratitude , Irish idleness , and . Irish propensity to commit crime . Then , observe the value of spade husbandry , as practically illustrated , although the RAVEN , the bird of prey , the Poor Law Commissioner , produced by the HAYTER to damn the Land Plan , had the insolence to declare that spade husbandry was the worst , the most slovenly , and
least productive mode of cultivation . Now , what do you think of that fellow ? Six and eig htpence an acre ^—a STATUTE acre ^—is the amount paid for digging the land ; a statute acre , like the English acre , is 160 perches , but the English perch is only sixteen-and-a half feet square , and the Irish is twenty-one feet square , so that five statute acres are eight English acres , and Mr . HAMILTON pays at the rate of 4 s . 2 d . per English acre for digging his land , from nine to twelve inches deep , ^ and the lazy Irishman , who earns fifteen pence a-day b y task work , digs an acre in less than threeand-a-half days .
Now , I pay twelve shillings an acre for one ploughing , -when I hire horses , for the English acre , which is within a fraction of a pound for the statute acre , not to count harrowing , scuffling , rolling , & c ., while one digging is worth six ploughings—and thus , I show you the "value of manual labour . Then , again , look at Mrf M'Nabb ' s 10 £ feres of reclaimed bog , not worth sixpence Sn acre sometime ago , and now feeding " twenty cows , fourteen bullocks , twenty-six calves , fifty sheep , three horses , and twelve p i gs , " and enabling him to defend his rig ht in a court of law against a tyrannical landlord . .. Nbwread my farming yprktippnthe reclajnation of waste laDuj ^ sta ^ ingfat tho ^ s ^ dao ! . whfin the land is worth VsKlBng an acre , aho
showing what- it wbuld be "' worth' in eleven years ; and think of the number of hands that the cultivation of these lOi acres , must require , a * the horses , you may be sure , are employed in carrying the turf from . the . bog to the wharf . I should like to know what one of-my growling children would say if he wasasked to dig an acre of ground , from nine to . twelve inches deep , in three days and a half ? But yet I venture to assert , that many an English agricultural kbourer would doit ; and those are themen we should have commenced our agricultural experiments with—or rather , our agricultural operations , as the production of food from the Land , and the requital of the labourer , is b y no means an experiment .
But , then , my friends , there is another great theory—the wildness , the folly , and insanity of which is practicall y illustrated by the operations of Mr . Hamilton . The writer . says , "that the work being task-work , the gangs match themselves ; " and could there be a stronger refutation of the practical results of Socialism , as defined by its advocates . Socialism in its true acceptation , meansthe fitness of thin to society ; but it has received a religious as well as a social tinge , and therefore the terni « Communism " is the fit and proper one toTpplv to the social theories of Comlnu-35 . jEftlurt I « Krt istto , that Govern-

^^ ^^ ment—under Monarch y , Republic , Autocrat , or Despot , would be Christian , p hilanthropic , just , and equitable , when compared with Government established upon social princi pled Nay , more ^—to argue it in detail—if society was classified , and if human beings were selected according to any standard of fitness , experience , ability , or skill , and marshalled into sections , the war of sections would be more bloody and destructive than the present war of class against class .
Take , for instance , twenty men , each with a wooden leg , and nineteen of them with but one arm , the twentieth with two arms and two hands , would rebel against the nineteen who were to be equal participants of the produce . Or imagine the case of an author , the writer of a most splendid work , dividing the proceeds of his labour equally , either with inferior authors , or with compositors or pressmen ; that , I may be told , is classify ing them too
minutel y ; so that suppose you take it generall y and universally—imagine the indolent arid unintellectual portion of society living upon the intellectual portion of society , and do you not think there would be a war of intellect and industry against ignorance and idleness ? and it is folly to attempt to refute this position by the vague assumption , that under the social system none would be either ignorant or idle ; for as long as the world lasts—no matter what the governing system may be—the ruling maxim
will be SELF-INTEREST . I am aware that , especiall y abroad , in countries where the people are wholly ignorant of the Labour Question , the princip le of Communism is being extensivel y adopted ; but its adoption is based upon the ignoranctj—and not upon the knowledge of its advocates . They have nothing else to talk about that will enlist the sympathy and attention of their hearers ; while they themselves live in idle affluence on the means wrung from the credulity , enthusiasm , and hope of their dupes . I trust , therefore , that in England the people will base their
hope upon self-reliance , with the full confidence ¦ —that when the channels of industry are all open—no matter how classified—all will have equal protection and be well provided for ; ¦ and then should Communism , in its real and onl y practical meaning , be the adopted principle , the comfortable majority will cheerfully provide for the otherwise comfortless minorityand then the really p hilanthropic , and intellectual Communists might be amongst the most useful members of society ; but I implore of you never to allow our Political or Social Movement , or the Land and Labour Question , to be mixed up with Communism or Socialism .
. Next week Parliament meets , and before many days of the Session we will be able to gather the meaning of Ministers from their mumping . I invite your attention to a report of the proceedings at a meeting of the middle-classes , held at Notting-Hill on Monday last ; and , being present and one of the speakers , it delighted me to find that the most aristocratic of the middle-classes took the first
doso of Chartism without a wry face , and one great and most beneficial effect of the agitation is this , that the working classes may speak out upon the new financial move more boldly than they would dare to speak of their own principles , because the Jury-class would be more friendl in the former than ^ in the latter case . Your faithful friend , Feargus O'Connor .

FINANCIAL REFORM . IMPORTANT JIEETINgTaT NOTTING HILL . ( From our own Reporter . ) On Monday last , a numerous and influential meeting of the middle classes was held at the Prince Albert Tavern , Netting Hill , for the purpose of discussing the several propositions and resolutions of the Financial Reform Association . II . Hartley Kennedy , Esq ., of Resington Lodge , late candidate for a . Scotch burgh , and candidate for the Chelsea district ,, when enfranchised , was in the chair . He opened the proceedings in a very effective and
straig htforward speech , acquiescing in the objects of the meeting , but evidently anxious to go a little further . Mr . Seblb , of Bark-place , Bayswater , the celebrated dramatic author , made an admirablespeecb ., in which he showed the advantage of direct over indirect taxation , the extravagance of the government , and the unprofitable expenditure of the national resources , And showing the .: establishment of forty-shilling freeholders to constitute the main ingredient in the Financial Budget . [¦ While this speaker was on his legs , Mr . 0 ' Connor entered the room , and was partially cheered . ] Sir . Gaskell , of Chelsea , surgeon , and Chairman
of the "West London Reform Association , also spoke , and very characteristically described the system of government pillage , and the superior ability of the labourer , and his consequent fitness to- vote for a representative . To illustrate his first position , he said , that , some few days ago , he was reading to his family an account of the manner in which they p luck geese in Lincolnshire three times a year , that there was a lady present , who exclaimed— " Oh ! what brutes ! " " Yes , " said Mr . Gaskell , " but are not we geese also to allow ourselves to be plucked every day in the year . " ( Laughter . ) . And then as to the ability of the labourer , he was crossing a street the other day , and saw a sweeper doing his work , as he thought , very imperfectly . He showed him what he considered the best method of sweeping , but the sweeper very soon convinced him that by his method he did three times as much with
one dash of the broom as he could upon his ( Mr . Gaskell's ) method . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Now , did not thai prove even the sweeper s right to be represented ? and he hoped that the district of Hotting Hill would follow the example of their Chelsea neighbours / who , though but in infancy , had thrown off their swaddling-clothes , and promised speedily to attain a giant ' s strength , as they already numbered-600 , and were determined to go on until thoy proved to the aristocracy that the middle and working classes were able to represent themselves , without the assistance of government patronage , and such lavish expenditure of monies that mi ght be more profitably app lied .. ( Cheers . ) The Chaibmax then asked Mr . O'Connor if he would address the meeting , and upon that gentleman rising he was received most enthusiastically . . . Mr . 0 ! Connor , said ; Mr . Chairman and gentlcmeriv this is the first middle class , meeting . I ever
attended , and I would not . have attended this if your object was solely confined to a reduction of your own burthens . ( Hear , hear . ) In this financial crusade I see more than the mere saving clause—I see the destruction of Whiggery through the destruction of patronage—through the slaying of corruption ; and if your movement was to stop with the achievement of your own object I should , as of yore , be in opposition to you ; and the reason that I have acquiesced in this movement is , because its leader , Mr . Cobden . has declared
" WE WILL JfOT STOP THERE . " ( Cheers . ) It is not to the middle classes , who are the forgers of their own chains , and to their release from taxation , that Hook , but it is to the adjustment of the Labour Question , by a proper settlement of which all those shopkeepers and traders by whom I am surrounded would be immensely , benefitted . ( Cheers . ) You must make taxation direct , and levy it not onindustry , but on real property —( cheers)—and then , when the tax-payer is the law-maker he will see through Mr Cobden ' s teloscopo , and find
that peace through contentment is cneaper than peace through bayonets . ( Loud cheers . ) He was opposed to the Free Traders , because he looked upon the thing as moonshine ; and he would equally oppose this move if , through it , he did not see some better prospects . The Times opened its whole battery of popguns upon Mr . Cobden , but the Times hadits gleams of sunshine , and , this morning , the " Thunderer" has a most eulogistic article upon the last proposition of the Financial Reformers ; and what did the meeting suppose that proposition was ] Fby . to break up # « Ki > yal forests , ( I / ma

cheerf . ) Mr . O'Connor continued — Hallo , why that smacks of the Land , and vou seem to like it . In .. talking of the Jfew Forest , the limes tells us , that " formerly , its surface was covered with smiling hamlets and homesteads until the second William and his successors ruthlessly swept those habitations away , in order to make room for a vast forest in which they might take thoir pastime ;" . nnd then the Timet goes oh to state " what tub TTRASST OF OXE RACE ACCOMPLISHED THE CUPIDITY AND MISMASAOEMKNT OF OTHERS HAVE CONTINUED .

" " Now , ( said Mr . 0 Connor ) , there is the admission of the leading journal , and , gentlemen , while vou are proud of your banthng may Invention mine , the odious and reviled cripple—the one that is to accomplish this great national purpose ? . > ¦ - ; V " ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ Th « 9 " AlRMAN - ^» i ye » , out with it . Mr O Conxor , turning f 0 the meeting . —Mav I ; and will you promise not to be frightened ? ( " Yes , yes , from ah sides . ) Triiir it is . the CHARTElt : ( Loud cheering and clapping of hands . ) " \ Vcll ,. but do not mistake mcj . I am iwT ' gojrigto mtrude ' this consideration ' upteyouvj ^^ J ^ ani I ^ oihar to
gratify ; the Whig enemy by causing a ' split oetween the middle and the working classes ^ when their united exertions are calculated to overthrow Whi g tyranny . ( Loud cheers . ) I have been invited ( said Mr . O'Connor ) by some of the aristocracy to oppose this move ; but , unlike other demagogues , I never will become an instrument in the hands of faction , nor shall any desire of popularity or dread of reproach ever prevent me from performing my duty to those in whose cause I have struggled lor years and with whom I will struggle to the deathr-the working men—( loud cheers , amidst which Mr . O'Connor resumed his scat . ) Tho Chairman rose and was about to put three of the resolutions , carried at the Manchester meeting , when
Mr . Lovett , upholsterer , said : Mr . Chairman , I agree with the distinguished gentleman who last addressed the meeting—that . it would be imprudent and injudicious to oppose the middle class move as it is one in the right direction , but ' I cannot consent to the resolutions being put , as proposed by tho chairman , as the most lmportant . -r-that proposed by Mr Milner Gibson , at Manchester , with reference to the extension of the Suffrage—is omitted , ( Hear , hear . ) The Chairman . —I beg to assure ' the gentleman that that is not an intentional , omission of the Committee , as he will see the resolutions are taken from a newspaper ; we sent to the landlord for the . newspaper , presuming that it contained all , but we find that the one sent does not contain that of Mr . Milner Gibson , but as this meeting , ' he was pleased to say , had no dosiro to stop short of tho mark , thoy ¦ would make another attempt to get the right newspaper ,
and if that failed there would be no difficulty in framing a resolution in accordance with Mr . M . Gibsons . ( Cheers . ) Mr . LovETT was perfectly satisfied with the candid explanation of the Chairman , and would therefore move the adoption of Mr . Gibson ' s resolution . ( Cheers . ) Mi-. Lessixgham , house decorator , said , that ht rose with great pleasure to second the adoption of the resolution , and that he felt pride and pleasure in seeing the reviled of all revilers—Mr . Feargus 0 ' Connor—amongst them that ni g ht . ( Loud cheers . ) It was but for the middle classes to know that gentleman and his principles , and to hear him detend them , to insure his ultimate success . He was a Chartist —( cheers)—and he was not afraid to avow it , but as his duty was to ensure harmony at such a meeting , he would give his cordial support to the resolutions , with the addition of Mr . Milner Gibson ' s .
The resolutions were then . put from the chair and carried unanimously , amid loud applause . After which Mr . Serle rose and said : Now , mv friends , I have a very pleasing and important duty to perform . We have amongst us to-night the most influential leader of the working classes ; a man who , thoug h universally reviled by the press , has preserved the confidence of his followers , and has established his title to that confidence by the noble sentiment , that he would not base his popularity ' as a demagogue upon opposition to those who urged anything for the be-_« £ j . a ^ IUa « a / iv \ 1 /\ "Dnuhnrkn n /> nvtsil / inf Sit * YllrtilniTl nent of the lePerhaps ancient modern
peop . no or event is of greater importance than his presence here to-ni ght , as it will hasten tho accomplishment of our object by three , four , ay , or perhaps five years , as without his co-operation we . would be deprived of our greatest support , therefore , I have great pleasure in proposing the cordial thanks of this meeting to Mr , O'Connor , for his brilliant speech and manly conduct . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Mannin , auctioneer , said that he begged to have the honour of seconding the proposition of Mr . Serle , and he had great pleasure in announcing to the meeting that he had enrolled Mr . O'Connor ' s name as a member of their Association . ( Loud
cheers . ) The Chairman said that he would not put the proposition in the usual cold form , to be carried by a show of hands ; he would ask them to carry it with three hi p , hip , hips and hurrahs , and when they went home to-night , let them repeat the following sentence in the eloquent and soul-stirring speech they , had heard , "Mr . O'Connor had said , let taxation be direct , and when the tax-payers were the law-makers , they would measure taxation economically by necessity , and not , as now , extravagantly by patronage . "
The Chairman then put the resolution , which was unanimously carried , and followed by cheering and clapping of hands . Mr . O'Connor said : Gentlemen , I thank you , lam not going to detain you longer than merely to tell you I am not to be boug ht . Some of the aristocratic classes have thrown out their feelers to ensure my opposition to the Financial Reform Association ; they have endeavoured to tickle mc by showing what a great man I mi g ht become if I would only oppose this move : but , as I never intend to base nominal greatness ' upon actual dishonesty , I have declined their several fascinating appeals . ( Cheers ) I receive many letters , some anonymous and some with real signatures , many of them addressed 'from
club-houses , inviting me to buckle on the armour of opposition ; but I have declined all . Gentlemen , I thank you for the honour you have conferred upon me . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Duxford , printer , said that as the father of the bantling , he could not allow the meeting to separate without expressing the joy and satisfaction he experienced from the proceedings , and he trusted that the session of parliament would not be allowed topass away without a just expression of indignation from that district against the cruel and heartless tyranny practised by the government against the Chartist prisoners , who were entrapped bygo yernmeiit spies and informers , and then subjected , to harsher treatment than felbns , ( Loud cheers . ) . He was g lad to hear that the . Chelsea district had ' sprung mtosuch rap id vitality ; . every beginning was weak ,.
and he trusted ere long that Hotting mil would be able to contrast its strength , its energy , and resolution with any of the surrounding districts , while the working classes mi g ht _ rest assured that he , as the founder of the association , would not stop short at the middlerclassipoint ., ( Cheers . ) .,.- -... After a vote of thanks to the Chairman ^ whie | h was well "merited ,. as no officer could more efficiently discharge . his duty , and whom we hope " ero ' long to see a representative of the Chelsea district , the meeting separated , highly gratified with the proceedings . Previousl y , however , it was announced that another meeting would be held at the sanie p lace on Monday next the 29 th , . [ Note . We give the following as a specimen of the letters referred to by Mi . O'Connor . ]
Athenreum , Jan . 13 , 1849 . Sir , —I am a person rather singular amonp the class to which I belong ( of English gentlemen ) , in thinking favourably and highly of the working people of England . I want , also , to see them better understood by others . I believe that there are very niaiiy honest Chartists , who , if they would separate ¦ themselves from repubHcans and revolutionists—with whom they have nothing in common—would soon stand very differently in the estimation of their countrymen , and be much nearer attaining their own proper objects . A glorious opportunity now presents itself to the Chartists to elevate their character , and " win golden opinions , " by manfully opposing Cobdcn ' s new-nropoficd agitation—for inviting war , throwing away peace , and every way lessening and lowering the country—the worst thing possible for the poor ; and they will have the sense to see it . You may win the greatest popularity by standing up against it , and " pitching it" into Cobden , Hume , and Uriglit , to their undoing .
I have written'two of a series of letters to the Chartists proper . First , to withdraw them from the enemies of the constitution—which they are not , but only desiring to share its blessings ; and , secondly ,-calling ; upon them to withstand the Cobdenites , who are no true friends of theirs . The greatness and glory of the country—noble undertakings for the public good , which mav find employment for the poor , are ever theTjest for them . There ought to be , and must be , a sound economy ; but . there should also be a liberal expenditure in great undertakings for the public good , and to find the people work . But it is useless to write , unless what is written can be read ; and how to effect this is my present concern , and vecasions my addressing y 0 Ui t choose , for the present to

TO THE DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY , GENTWMKf , — "We , the undersigned shareholders of the Land Company , in the Huddersfield district , beg leave most respectfully to draw your immediate attention to the cage of John BrauBhaw nov residing at Minster Lovel , who from his location hot bdog in a productive state this year , finds -himself nui a destitute condition , and if the whole , or . part of the £ 30 granted him as a loan , by a resolution pastied at the late Conference at Birminghani , be not speedily adyanced ' to him , the prodtjcerbf'fouracrcs of crourio ? will bo entirely lost for another season , H ^ i ^ m ^ m ^^ m ^ H ^^^ ii && m can confidently recommend tne said' 3 bhff raAelhaw as an honest , industrious man , and one from his knowledge of agriculture , that would fiillr show out
tho capabilities of the Land . We arc , Gentlemen , yours respectfully , Joseph Oldfield , treasurer ; John Stead , branch secretary ; John Gledhill , John Oldfield , John "Whogden , John M & vsland , Thomas Coekshaw , David Carter , William Beaumont , Benjamin Farrand , Charles Booth , William Farrand , Henry Scott , "William Thorp , Eli Dearnlcy , William Dearnley , Thomas Boothroyd , Eli S y kes , Joseph Boothroyd , William Thornton , John Woffendcn , Richard Woffendcn , William Sykes , John Sykes , George Hogley , Richard Brook , Henry Wilkinson , John Calvert , Ann Kayc , John Moorhouse , George Moorhouse , Joseph Knight , Job Boothroyd . Gentlemen , "
Bradshaw , I believe , is everything you state him to be , but he was a purchaser of " his allotment , and not a member ; and had there been ample funds in hand , the Conference had no possible right to appl y them as aid money to persons -who are not members ; I told Bradshaw at the Conference , thathis good character and ability tooultiyato the land , would induce me , when able , to assist him myself ; but the non-performance of duty by 70 , 000 individuals —who are very loud in their professions of
philanthropy , has left it difficult for mc to moot my own engagements . I cannot stand paymaster for 70 , 000 Land members ; and for 5 , 600 , 000 Chartists who signed the National Petition ; and money-lender—or rather , giverto those whose destitution and requirements are consequent upon the non-performance of duty by the millions . Sampson was a strong man , and Solomon was a wise man : but neither of them could pay or lend money , if they hadn't it . I find that your good-natured appeal is signed by thirty-two ; and 10 s . from each would furnish Bradshaw with the means of going on , though it is always much easier to ask than to give . Faithfully yours , Feargus O'Connor .
To The Members Of The Mtioml I Land Comp...
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MTIOML i LAND COMPANY . I Friends—As one of your brother members , having for some length of time paid up for sixteen shares for self and family , and therefore having an interest in the well-doing of the same , I beg to offer the following for your consideration . It appears th .-vt want of money was the cause of nearly the stoppage of tho Company , and at the Into Conference , Mr , O ' Connor and the other Directors made an appeal to the delegates , to assist in raising funds to ^ carryon operations . I am not so unthinking as to suppose that they can do without funds ; but I contend , if it can be shown ( and there were parties
in attendance at the Conference to prove ) that substantial and more useful houses can be built at half the cost of the present ones , it is the duty of the Directors and Mi-. O' Connor , in justice to himself and the company , to adopt this mode of building , in order to locate the members faster , and this it would do to a great amount by having them built by contract ; saving by-that method the payment of many useless foremen and deputies , as well as time and trouble to Mr . O' Connor , the contractor looking to his own men and work . Consider , my friends , what a difference it would make in our funds . Instead of being in so crippled a state as at present , that only in the building of 240 cottages you would have had
a saving of from fifteen to sixteen thousand pounds . Will you not think that worth saving to buy more land ? And according to amount saved in expenditure , you will save , from three to four pounds a year in rent . I think Mr . O'Connor cannot have any objection to this , as it will enable him to a great extent to carry out his plan ; and he has often told us to got tho land , and then you can improve or enlarge your houses after , but that building an expensive house will not enable you to buy land . I might say much more to show you the justice and necessity of adopting this .
I hope the different branches will meet and discuss it , and , if they think as I do , they will pass resolutions respectfully requesting Mr . 0 ' Connor to adopt this plan for the future , or some other as cheap . In the p lan of tho house named thoy will be built together . If separate , they will cost about £ 10 each more . They would consist as follows , and be built with brick walls : Kitchen , twelve feet square ; cellar under this . Back-kitchen or wash-house , five feet by nine . C 0 w-house , seven feet by nine . Two bed-rooms ; one over the kitchen , the other over wash-house and cow-house . Piggeries , bog-holes , tanks , yards , and wells .
Brothers , I now leave it in your hands , I have only done what I consider the duty and ri ght of every member—to point out anything he may conceive of . advantage to the company . I remain , yours , & c , Birmingham , Dec . 4 th , 1848 . ' G . T . The only comment I shall make upon the above is , that I never will undertake to sup .-p l y the allottees with cottages built by contract ; that is , a contractor undertaking to supply materials and build a certain description of cottage at a-certain -rate , and for this simp le reason . — because there is ds much difference between a contract on paper and a contract in building , as there is between chalk and cheese . Is o
contractor will write himself down hr a knave , but every contractor is a system-made , rogue , and every contractor would scamp the work ; and , if he . had his profit * he would not care if the hduses ; tu . mbled , after themoney : "\ vas , in , his pocket ; and . as to the expense of overseers referred to- ^ -from October , 1847 , to the beginning of June , 1848 , a period of eig ht month *—I built 165 cottages and two schoolhouses , and the cost for overseers was £ 84 , or about 10 s . a cottage . I take care to have the best timber and materials—a
contractor would take care to have the cheapest materials and best profit . As to a cellar under the kitchen , it would be more expensive than any other room , and would occasion greater damp ' ; and as to a bedroom over the washouse and cowhouse , I think , in the long winter nights , the occupants would be engaged in cursing mo instead of saying their prayers , and in the hot summer nights they would be engaged in stopping their noses , and I should be set down as a second Drouct ;
and then the saving of the lesser sum , £ 15 , 000 upon 240 cottages , would amount to £ < j 2 a cottage , and over ; a saving which , if effected , would not at all reconcile the tenant to his hovel . Then as to building two houses together , it was the p lan that I tried at O'Counorville , and which caused the greatest dissatisfaction , as even Socialists are anxious to have the whole of the back of their houses to themselves ; while one of the p rincipal advantages of the Plan is the placing of tho cottage in the centre of the allotment , and evwry occu-

It is quite tmcthat , b y a ^| fr gardly economy , a certain amount of capital may tie made to locate a greater number ;
but it is equally true—that economy , which would destroy comfort , would justly subject the plan to the abuse and contempt of the press and the public . All the work is done b y contract—and always has been done b y contractwith the exception of the bricklayers work at O'Ooimorville , and at the lowest fi gure , subject to the most critical survey , and done in the host manner ; and as long as I have anything to do with the buildings , I will take

The Following Appeared In Our Town Editi...
The following appeared in our Town Edition of last Saturday . Thk Tooting Cholera Cases . —Yesterday , the adjourned inquest on the four children who died in the Free Uospital , after removal from Mr . Prouet ' s establishment at Tooting , was resumed before -Mr . Waklcy , M . P ., at the Globe tavern , Derby-street , Gray ' s-inn-road .

The inquest was again adjourned to ( Tuesday next . A full report of tlie evidence of vestorday will be given in next Saturday ' s ( Star .
Great Fire at Paddi . vgto . v . —Last night , between 7 and 8 , a fire , involving a destruction of property valued at some thousands of pounds , broke out at Irongate Wharf , Praed-strect , Paddington . The premises in which the disastrous event occurred were in the occupation of Mr . Wm . Huddle , and were well known as the steam saw mills and marble works . The firemen laboured without intermission Until nearl y eleven o clock , when tho flames at length succumbed . Mr . Buddie informed the reporter that the machinery , which cost him a short time since , upwards of £ 5 , 000 , was insured for only £ ' 1 , 000 , and the insurances effected upon thestcc *" in-trade were not one tithe of his loss .
The late Fire is Lincoln ' s Inn Fields . —During yesterday the firemen succeeded in turning up among the ruins a parchment package , not in the least degree injured , which proved to be the titledeeds of an estate , left in Messrs . Jones , Bennett , and Bateman ' s care , amounting to . £ 27 , 000 . A mortgage decdof £ 10 , 000 has also been recovered , quite uninjured ; and another of £ 12 , 000 , together with a number of smaller amount . The late Case of Destitution at Westmisster . — At the inquest held on the body of Mr . JG . Williams , artist , whose sufferings arising from destitution will be found detailed in our police report , the jury returned a verdict of " Died from the want of common necessaries , tho wants of the family having been concealed from the parish . " In the course
of the inquiry , Emily Williams , the daughter of the deceased , stated that for some weeks past they had been in want of the common necessaries of " food , firing , and clothing , but did not make application during that time to the parish authorities for relief , because her father strongl y objected to thoir doing so . The little food the family got was by knitting articles , which she sold in the streets . Iler father often went without victuals all day . Neither he nor the rest of the family had had any meat for a long while . Her father had no covering when he laid down but the clothes he wore , and he used to go without while these were cleansed . For ei ght days previous to his death he had had no bread , only tea and water . There was some bread , but ho would not touch it , because there was not enough for the children .
The Irish State TRULs . —On Thursday Mr Duffy was again placed at the bar , when Mr Justice Perrin said the Crown had prayed final judgment , and the prisoner insisted that ho was entitled to plead , and several cases had been cited at both sides . At the desire of the prisoner they should allow him to p lead to the felony , and the Clerk of the Crown would ask him whether he was guilty or not . Mr Duff y then pleaded not guilty .--Air Justice Perrin ; Wc shall adjourn the commission now to the 6 th of February . ' It would be quite impossible to have a trial now .
The "VVah ix the Pitcjaub . —Intelligence from In- * dia , to the 18 th of December , has arrived , announcing the retreat of the Sikh army under Shore Singh from the banks of the Chenab , along the mountain chain towards the Jhelum . There had been some fighting previously , in which Brigadier-General Cureton was shot through the heart , while leading a charge of cavalry . Several other officers were killed and wounded .

Vivien , out of which the National Assembly is to select one as Vice-President of the French Republic . Home . —The Pope has published an address to the Roman people , threatening excommunication to all who should take any part in the election of persons for the Constituent Assembly . In retaliation , the Romans took from tho hatters ' windows all the car " dinals' hats , and , having carried them in procession , throug hout the city , singing funeral hymns , they proceeded to the bridge of Sixtus , where they threw them into the Tiber . The Itoman ministry have abolished the law of primogeniture by a decree , in virtue of a preceding decision of the Chambers .
George The Second's Opinio.V Of Bishop I...
George the Second ' s Opinio . v of Bishop IIoadlei . —A Domestic Picture , —About nine o ' clock every nig ht tho King used to return to the Queen ' s apartment from that of his daughters , where , from , the time of Lady Suffolk ' s disgrace , he used to pass those evenings he did not go to the opera or play at quadrille—constraining them , tiring himself , and talking a little indecently to lady Deloraine , who was always of the partv . At his return to the Queen 8 side tho Queen used often to send for Lord llervey to entertain them till they retired , which was generally at eleven . One evening among the rest , as soon as Lord Hervey came into the room , the Queen , who was knotting whilst the King walked backwards and forwards , began jocosely to attack T . nr . l TTalvov i . nnn an answer l ' ust published tO 3 ,
book of his friend Bishop Iloadley s on the Sacrament , in which the Bishop was very ill treated ; but before she had uttered half what she hail a mind to say , the Kimjintcrrupted her , and told her she always loved talking of such nonsense and things she knew nothing of ; adding that if it were not for such foolish people loving to talk of those things when thoy were written , thefools who wrote upon them would never think of publishing their nonsense ; and disturbing the government with impertinent disputes that nobody of any sense ever troubled himself about . The Queen bowed , and said , " Sir , I only did it to lot Lord Hervey know that his friend ' s book had not met with that general approbation he had pretended . A pretty fellow for a . friend , " said the King , turning " to Lord Hervey .
"" Fray what ' isit that eharins you in him ? His pretty limping gaiti ( and then he acted the bishop ' s lameness , ) or Ins nasty stinking breath ?—phaugh ! —or his silly laugh , when he grins in your face , for nothing , and shows his nasty rotten teeth ? Or is it his groat honesty that charms your lordship ?—• his asking a thing of mo for one man , and when he came to have it in his own power to bestow , refusing the Queen to give it to the very man for whom he had asked it ? Or do you admire bis conscience that makes him now put out a book that , till he was Bishop of Winchester , for fear his conscience might hurt hjs preferment , he kept locked up in his chost ? Is his conscience so much improved beyond what it was when he was Bishop of Bangor , or Hereford , or Salisbury ? ( for his book , I hear , was wntten s »
long ago ) ; or was it that he would not risk losing a shilling a-vear more whilst there was anything better to be got than what he had ? My lord , 1 ana very sorry you choose your friends so ill ; but I cannot help saying , if the Bishop of -Winchester is your friend , you have a great puppy , and a very dull fellow , and a great rascal for your friend . It is a very pretty thing for such scoundrels , when they are raised by favour so much above their desert f o . be talking and writing their stuff , to give trouble to the government that has showed them that favour ; and very modest in a canting hypocritical be eryincr . ' The kinadom of Christ
world , ' at the same time that he , as bassador , receives £ 6 , 000 or £ 7 , 000 he isjustthe same thing in the- Churck in the government , and as ready to pay for preaching the Bible , though he lieve a word of it , as he is to take favours Crown , though , by his Republican trine , he would be " glad to abolish it Jkrveu s Jftmoirs . ¦
