_^ _pencpendlture ; at the aame time that we have bad regard » tho the financial state of prosperity of tula country , as _ffcctfcct-dby the _comatrc _' al embarrassments of the post sax , sax , and tr- tbe _interruirtlon of trade consequent _upan ne lae late political even's io Europe , we have taken every _Kcaecintian to _secnre lire t & iency of all nepmmews of ne pie pnblio _s-rvice . In obedience to yoor _Myesty e most _rraclracloas recommendation , which was _cemmunlcated to _d _bja by the Lords C _aamlssioners at _^ commencement of the she session , onraticntion hat been specially directed to _neaaeaniresrelatlng to the public health . It is impossible © overrate tbs _importince ot a _sn _^ ect so deeply

Nat unmindful If thf the _condition of Ireland , or of the distressed state of tae pie poor in tbat country , owing to tbe limited demand : _ir Ior ' aboa _*" , we & ve provided addirionaIfaad _* , arif tagfrom be the r _epsy-mnt of addidonal loan * , to be expended iu _ablablic works ; and wa have _reaoved the impidiments

Tbe spirit of insubordination wbiob as jas _previdledia various parts of the country , especially a In Ireland , his farced npon onr consideration topics of a isr ar mora _gra » e and anxious character . We bave cor-Mielly concurred in those measures which have been Ihothougbt necessary to secure obedience to the laws , and is re repress and to prevent outrage and rebellion . Deeply _lenseaslble of tbe vain * of _tboseinstitntloas under which we itaviave the happiness to live , no effort on onr pert has _iieewen wanting to preserve them _, from tha evil designs of
_inisnlBgulded mm , who , taking advantage of a season of _lierCemporaiy distress , have endeavoured to excite _dlscon-ISenlentandwrurrection . We have witnessed win _grati . Itactudeana proud satisfaction the unequivocal expression , ; m m tbe pars of the great mass of the people , of marks of ittsttachment to their sovereign and respect for the law ; iinand we , as tbeir representatives , participating to tbe IfnlfnUest « :. nt In their feelings , now tender to your Ma-|| _es | _esty tie sincere expressions of our devetlon and loyalty . ' ' The tight _rmnonrable gentleman then presented to her _MiMsjaaty , for tbe royal assent , the Consolidated Fnnd Ai Appropriation Bill , and the _Exchequer Bills BUI .
Her Muestt gave her royal assent to these bills , ai and afco to tie C ? pper and Lead Daties BUI , and Muscat S Slave Trade Treaty , Preliminary _Icqoiri'S Aot Amendxtment Bill , British West India CoienJ . es and . Mauritius 2 Bill , Savings _Batk ( Ireland ) BUI , and City of London 3 Sewers Bill . Tbe Loan _CHAnerLLoa then advanced to the foot ot tl tbe throne , and handed ber _Usjitty a copy of the speech , w which she read in a clear aad audible tone : — Mr Lords akd _Gentlemen , I am happy to be able to release yon from tha dut ties of a laborious and protracted session .
The Act fcr the Prevention of Crime aud Outrage iiin Ireland , which received my assent at thecomnmencement of the session , was attended by the most tbeueficiil effects . The open display of arms intended fi for crirairal purposes was checked , the _course ef _justtice waa no _longer interrupted , and severalatrocioua i murderers , who had spread terror through the couni try , were apprehended , tried , and convicted . ' ihe distress in Ireland , consequent upon nieces-( sire failures in the _production of food , has been mi * 1 tfcated by the application of the law for the relief of 1 ths poor , and by the amount of charitable coutribu-1 tions raised in other parts of the United Kingdom .
On tha other hand , organised confederacies took : _advantage of the existing pressure to excite my _suf-: fering subjects to rebellion . Hopes of plunder and confiscation were held out to tempt the distressed , white the reoat visionary prospects were exhibited to the ambitious . Ia this _conjunction I applied to your . _lejalty and wisdom for _inoressed powers ; and , : _stoengthened by your prompt concurrence , my government was enabled to defeat , in a few days , niai ehinations wbich had been prepared during many : months . The energy fond decision Bbown by the Lord _Lieutenant oi Ireland in this emergency deserve my warmest approbation . In tha midst of these difficulties you have Continued your labours for the improvement of the laws . Tbe act for facilitating the sale of _e-cumb red estates wil ) , I trust , gradually remove an evil of great _magnitude iu the social state of Ireland .
The system of perpetual entails of land established in Scotland produced very serious evils , both to heirs of entail aud to the community ; and I have had great , satisfaction in seeing it amended , upon principle ? wbich have long beea found-to operate beneficial ! " in this part of the United Kingdom . I bave given my cordial assent to the measures which have in view the improvement of the public health , and I entertain an earnest hops that a foundation has been laid for continual advances in this beneficial work . _Gs-nLEHBX CF THE HOUSE OF CoilHOSS . I have to thankyou for the readiness with which yen have granted the supplies necessary for tho public service . I shall avail myself of every opportunity wbich the exigencies of tha state may allow tor enforcing economy . Mr Lords tsa Gbrtuuss ,
1 have renewed , in a formal manner , my diplomatic relations with the government of France . The good understanding between the two countries has continued without the slightest interruption . Events of deep importance havo _disturbed the internal trarquillity of many of the states of Europe , both ia the north and in the south . These events have led to hostilities between neighbouring countries . I am employing my good offices , in concert with otber friendly powers , to bring to an amicable settlement those difference * , and I trust that onr efforts may bo successful .
I am rejoiced to think that au increasing sense of the value of peace encourages the hope that the nations of Europe may continue in the enjoyment of its blessings . Amidst _thesa convulsions I nave had tha satisfaction of being able to preserve peaoe for my own _dominions , and to maintain our domestic tranquility . The strength of our institutions has been tried , and has net been found wanting . I have studied to preserve the people committed to my charge in the enjoyment of that temperate freedom wbich they ao justly value . My people , on their aide , feel too sensibly ths advantages of order and security te allow the promoters of _pillaje aud confusion any chance of suecea in their wicked designs .
I acknowledge , with grateful feelings , the many marks of loyalty and attachment which I have received from all classes of my people . It is my earnest hops that , by cultivating respect to the law , and obedience to the precepts of religion , the liberties of this people may , by the _blessiEgof Almighty God , be perpetuated . The Loan _CHittesnoa then advanced to the foot of the throne and said , it ia her Majesty's royal will and pleasure that this parliament be prorogued to Thursday , the 2 nd of November next , to be there bolden , and this parliament stands prorogued to Thursday , the 2 nd day of Sovember accordingly .

LOUIS BLANO AND THE ENGLISH PRESS . The French _Revsi . ti a of these later days burst on the ear of mankind Kie an earthquake , and the tremor was felt over Kurope . The journalists of England who know solifctle of revolutions , became at once chroniclers and historians . The leading journalists had their correspondents in Paris , and tbe upmaking weekly newspapers compiled and arranged the choice paragraphs with celerity and effect . Every _merchant on tbe Exchange , every workman in the shop , every attendant ef the _coffee-hou & e , became at once a politician , and what news from France ? was tbe hourly interrogative of every passer by .
It was clear , tbat bo universal an exoitement would end in the sacrifice of a few brave and honest men . In the hour of triumph and of success , fraternity became spiritual equality , and all ideas of conventionality and _cass-interest gave way to the universal impulse ef national rejoicing . Suoh a state of national mind , however , could not long continue . The next great question asked was , what was to bo done ? England paused seriously . That question always causes consternation and excitement . A nation of arithmeticians and economists were not likely to acBwer that plain query . It was in vain that they rnihed to their book shelves , to look for their confession of faith ; the disciples of Dr Adam Smith the Kircaldy philosopher , oould
not solve the problem ; but one course was clear , and how well the leaders of the Press received the cue . Louis Blano must be written down . Tbe Timbsthe great gun of the Mammon fortress , was the first to lead . Louis Blanc ' s took was reviewed , and formed the subject of a series of leaders whioh breathed a spirit of contempt , and the Labour question was settled with a sneer . The Economist , edited by a pure follower of tbe economists , next comes out with the solntion . An airay ot facts is always unanswerable to those who know little beyond the maxim of buy cheap and sell dear . The rule of three was all powerful ; it was proved that work done in the national _workshops oust mote than if it had been done by private contractors in Paris . The Edinburgh
Chambers named Lima Blano a Lilliputian philosopher , and the cant terms of visionary , theorist , and entbusiatt , have since been the favourite phrases of aur ready writers , it u almost _nccdlesB to remark that the { country editors , who live oh the crumbs that fall from the table of their metropolitan pioneers , gave full effect to the sentiments of the London Press . Sinoathen _, subsequent events have transpired—suspicion has been thrown freely on the motives and character of Lonis Blanc—and madman and enthusiast are now too mild terms to be used . In the midst of tbis vast Babylon of tumult I humbly crave a hearing , and select your journal as the most extensively circulated trades journal in _England as my medium of communication .
Lonis Blano has attempted an organisation of labour—he makes a demand on the rioh to do justice to the poor—and one of the earliest attempts on the part of our author is to lift the mask of religion off those who use it for their country ' s ruin . He boldly _averts that man is a material as well as a spiritual being , and that to look to man ' s material interests U the duty and interest of all men . How uecesiary and great is this teaching . In England as well a * in France , we require a practical recognition of this truth . It is in vain that we every sabbath day hear read the doctrine of'Love thy neighbour ; ' we know that the clashing of interests , tie strife for bread , mars our spiritual life—we have no love , we cannot love . 'Blessed are those who suffer , ' may bo true in the
fn * u-e , bnt' Cursed are these whowant'iB true m the present ; and our material relations unchanging , no spiritualism will bring ns bread . When we travel by omnibus or railway , the guard or conduetor asks his fare ; when we go to a baker ' s shop and ask for bread the _shopwoman asks the penny . Experience has taught us the truth of this material interest . Spiritualism conceives man to have mind alone ; it admits in theory man ' s dual nature , but its religious administrators nourish only the spiritual , and that not even in its highest acceptation ; intellect and imagination are seldom appealed to , they content themselves with teaching the doctrine of self denial , and self-suffering . A repression of desires is their favourite theme . To bear , forgive , and be forgiven ,
is their teaching to the poor ; but suoh doctrines alone , have not , and cannot govern man . The rioh speculators struggle for geld , and the poor fall victims . This _systeja is _ns-t new in England , bnt its effects are every day more dreadful . From & mass of evidenoe I quote the Mowing , which will give the reader an idea of England sixteen years ago : — ' Mr Wood , a large and highly respectable manufacturer at Bradford , says , children have been confined in the factory from six in the morning till eight at nightfourteen hours continually—without any time being allowed for meals , rest , or recreation ; the meals to ba taken while attending the machines ; and this is the practice ot years . * * Thiaia
the practice of Bradford . * * The children there occasionally work twenty-four hours every other day , out of which they are allowed three hours only for meals , dec . When trade is particularly brisk , the elder children work from six in the morning till seven in the evening , two boars being allowed for meals , _&& ., and every other night all night , whioh ia a still more severe case . For this additional eight labour they receive fivepence . There is another lamentable circumBtanoe attending the employment of these poor children , which is . that they are left the whole night alone , the sexes indiscriminately mixed together ; consequently you may imagine that the depravity of our work people is indeed very great . '
* Even at this moment , while I am thus speaking in behalf of these oppressed children , what numbers of them are still at their foil—confined in heated rooms , bathed in perspiration—stunned with the roar of the revolving wheels , poisoned with the noxious effluvia of grease and gas—till at last they tBrn out , weary and exhausted , almost naked , plunge into the open air , and creep , shivering , to beds from which a relay of their young workfellows have just risen ; and _saoh is the fate of many of them ,. at the best , while in numberless instances , they are diseased , stunted , crippled , depraved , and destroyed . '—March 16 th , 1832 . At this hour there are not fewer than one million and a half able-bodied labourers dependant on parish and eleemosynary relief . Every trade is crowded with surplus labourers . This in England , too , the _nrodel nation of the spiritual doctors and supply and demand philosophers ; the first teaching restraint and submission to the poor , the latter
saying no restraint for gold getting . Is it not time that we began to consider the material interests of all men , and introduce some new practices for the _developemeat of man ' s material and mental nature . Is it not time to ask , are mankind , the great controllers and regulators of the material world—whose genius unfolds thejsecrets of nature—whose skill spans these islands with au iron belt and makes the seas a highway—whose power causes a hundred spindles to more with mathematical correctness , and measure time in moments ; to continue a degraded , a worthless race of slaves « ud slave owners ? Are we sever o know a higher and nobler _deatiny tbau rioh gaolers and poor prisoners ? Methinks _. we may . And 1 write all honour to you Louis Blano , a child of genius and the people , —and if English economists insult you when living , and dishonour you when dead , English workmen will one day esteem arid honour you .
It is ten years _sioca Louis Blano wrote his book on labour ; he foresaw the comin ? revolution , and wrote in tbe fulness of his heart . He wished the Revolution to have a deatiny , and used his powers to give it a character ; and was it not necessary that France abore all other nations , should learn not to waste human blood for mere politioal struggles f If a mere change of dynasty was all that was necessary , history would hare proved the banefit by a change of the crowa from the head of Charles I . to Louis Philippe . Nations need something mora radical than mere politioal change of . rulers . A change of masters dees not imply a change of burthens . A nation might even pats from aa oligarchy to a republic and the people continue enslaved : and the
whole value ol political power rests in the results manifested in the relations ot property , the wiser aud more equitable distributions of wealth , and in effecting such changes as the intelligence and necessities of tbe state demand . Louis Blanc laboured to secure for the pcor man ' the certainty ef having work , daily bread , clothes , shelter , and the power to love and hope '—far mire substantial benefits it must be admitted , than were secured by the revelations of 1198 and 1830 ; and ao anxious was he to convey a sound worth of social questions , that he impressed the thinkers of France to probe social questions te t he bott o m , an advice it will will bo well for England to follow . This fact seems to be important , for it proves the practical tendency of tbo
mind of the author ; he is no more theorist who has weighed the value of social investigations , and continued _perseveringly to teach nil fellow countrymen what to him seemed valuable and useful for their welfare . Bat , sir , there is nothing dreadful or horrifying in thia doctrine . I would think it a waste of time to argue for the right of the poor to bs fed ; the desirability of such a result is doubted by no man of sane mind , aad on ita accomplishment rests _fite security of all classes . Ths question of thisdty is not whether this or that king or queen shall rule , this or that dowager or lady shall havea place or pension . No ! it is a question of deeper import , it is whether the people of all lands shall _continne to be robbed by centralised capitalists , and concivi
federated governments , or become one bond or - lised freemen . The naming of this proposition startles the rioh and moved classes , but it must . be solved , or anarchy and confusion , blood and barricades , will prevail . Wisely and well did the much abused and little understood Louis Blano write the following paragraph : — 'Ot ye rich they _deeaive you , who would excite yoa against those who consecrate their vigils to the ealm and pacific solution of social problems . Tea , tbis holy cause of the poor is your own 1 A cetotisl bond unites yoa to their poverty by fear , and links yoa by your own iaterest to their future deliverance . Their enfranchisement alone can open to . you the hitherto unknown realm of tranquil . enjoyment ; and _soeb . ia tbe virtua of the priiwipla of fraternity , that

whatever is taken from their sufferings , i s neces s aril y added to your enjoyments . Beware , thoy say , bew a re of the war between tho-e who hare and those wbo have not . Were , thia impious war , i n deed , to be feared what must we think , Great God ! of the social order that carries it in its entrails ? Wretched sophists ! they do net see that the system of which they stammer a defence , would be oouaemned witbout reserve , if it' _merited-. the . disgrace of their alarms . What ! there should bo 6 _uch excess of suffering in those who bave _not-rsuch hatred in their eouls _, and ia the depths of society bo impetuous a desire for revolt , tbat but to pronounce the word fraternitythe word of Christ , w a terrible imprudence , and tho signal of some new tumult ! No , be re-assured ; violence alone is to be dreaded where discussion iB repressed . Order has no better shield -. than { Study , Thanks to heaven ! the people understand now that
if anger at times chastises evil , it is powerless to produce good ; that a blind and _fiarce impatience would but pull down rains under which the seedling ideas of justice and love might be buried . Tbe question is not how to displace wealth , it is how to _universalise and render it fertile . The question is , how to elevate for the happiness of all , without exoeption , tbe standard of humanity . ' Snob , sir , are the sentiments of tbat man " whom tbe English press have laboured so industriously to destroy . Such doctrines , I own , are not fitted for those who . think that one portion of mankind should ba the slaves of a few . They have no assooiation in common with the murdering of infant children , or the casting out of pcor wretoheB from the estates of the _landowners—but thoy have much that is common to humanity and true oivilisatioo . With your leave I will resume _thissubjeot on an early day , and remain as ev e r , yours faithfully . . A Lkaf from the Annaia cr a August 20 . Shoemaker ' s _Gaubei .
The Proposed Alterations In The Land Com...
THE PROPOSED ALTERATIONS IN THE LAND COMPANY .
TO IHB SPIT 0 B Or T _3 K NORTHERS STAB . Sib , — It appears that Mr O'Connor ' s propositions in connexion with the Land Soheme , are not likely to meet with general approval ; still I hope they will meet with calm consideration , and the candid inves ; tigation whioh anything emanating from that gentleman so justly merits . It seems to be a _general opinion that some of them will require modification to adapt them tothe wantsand poverty of a _Jargjslanmber of the shareholder . 1 ; but this may easily be done , and
yet , in my opinion , leave tbenta good deal improved . The proposed addition to' the shares , although no higher than they . _ohanld have been at first , is by far too hi > $ hfor-a'great number of the present members , so _moohMRVas to deprive them of all benefit from the Company , by reason of their poverty ; and to put it out of the reach of the poor man , would be to destroy the best feature of the i > lan _, and thereby defeat the very intentions of its philanthropic founder , as it is and must continue to be , the poor man's Land Plan .
Bnt it is possible to make an addition to the shares , bo as not to be oppressive to any , and yet beneficial to the whole ; one fifth of the proposed increase would ' give a large sum of money ; even to raise the shares to 30 i . instead of 26 i ., would make a ( treat improvement on the sum total , and would fall so light on the shareholder- individually , that no reasonable man oould find fault with the ohange , neither could he make the want of means an excuse for such a trifling sum ; and when there is no just ground for opposition , it is easily overcome . The Aid Fuud _' ia the next proposition the poor man has to complain of , and will require _modification , as a great number of poor men have taken four shares , from aJconviction that less would not be
sufficient to support their families . A penny a week per Bhare , being for four shares 17 s . 4 d . a-year , and with no certainty when the payment is to cease , will make tbe poor sick at heart , aa they cannot see tbe possibility of paying eo much , and the consequence is they will ( _oease paying altogether : they will rather lose what they have paid than pay more , as they know not when _rome unforeseen _cironmstaBoe might compel them to lose the whole , by leaving themjunable to pay so large an . amount of aid money . But were it reduced to ono halfpenny per week , I believe few would object to it , and as it would be permanent , eo long aa required , it would , even at the halfpenny , bring in a large sum yearly , and make a handsome addition to the capital of the Company . I am of opinion , that to establish a Bonus Fund on the same prinoiple as tbe Aid Fund , would be Very
convenient for a largo number of poor members , in giving them an opportunity of paying in small weekly instalments , that which they never conld pay in one sum ; ao that it would he _beoefioial for every branch to establish a Bonus Fund—the money to be placed in the Land Bank , to the credit of the individual parties , and interest to ba payable on sums only at and above oae pound—those who could afford larger sums , could pay in at once or-twice whatever amount they thought proper , as the bonus would tben take the place of the ballot at location . When an estate was ready to be allocated , the _i allottees to be selected would be those who have paid the ; greatest amount of bonus . By this means , the rich would be first selected , but would have to pay at a higher rate for the preference , and the large bonus of the rich would hasten the success of the
poor . The reducing the rent to four per cent , would also encourage the paying ef a higher bonus , as the allotment would be the difference in rent the more vela able to the holder , and would also give increased security m a money investment , and afftfd additional inducements for capitalists and those having loose money to invest . It is likewise necessary that the Company should be purged of a mass of useless and annoying members , for that purpose I would give every facility to those inclined to sell to others anxious to join and who would be active and industrious members . After giving thia liberty to tbe indolent and dissatisfied , I would then make it imperative that all shares should be paid ud in full
within a given time , with the regular amount of aid money , expulsion to be the penalty of non-compliance . This would remove the discontented , and leave the Company open to persons anxious to join , without increasing the number : of _shareholder ; although I oan see no valid objection to the admitting of new shareholders for some years to come , for with plenty |» f money it would be as easy to allocate half a million , as one tenth of that number , and the money of course would always be in proportion to the _, numberj ; the only sufferers would be those whs have taken shares for the purpose of speculation , without any intention of ever taking possession . The paying baok of Aid Money would be another _aouroo of income to the Company , and great
_numbers , I am convinced , would not only pay aid mosey , bnt also the whole purchase money . I believe any person , with the most common-place management , and ordinary economy , may purchase ont and out in less thin eight years , and I hare no doubt but large numbers wonld do so . This would be for the advantage of shareholders themselves , as it would save the rent annu a ll y to th e m , and save the Company from mortgaging their estates and every member having money to inveit , however small the sum , should invest it in the Land Bank , as he can invest nowhere to suoh advantage to himself ; besides , it will' give increased facilities to tbe operations of the Company , and I trust will be one of the means to save the Company from selling , outright , the . estates after
location , as I an convinced all enterprising members will _purohAse their allotments io a few years . But should it be necessary to sell tho estates after location , a clause should be inserted in the articles of sale to allow every member to redeem his allotment within a giveu number of years , at the same price as sold by the Company , to ba ascertained by tne proportion his rent bears to the rent of the whole estate ; for members may rest assured that they will purchase on easier terms from the Company than from any of the Company ' s purchasers . " And although . Iam . con > vinoed there is not a member in the Company who has greater or more unqualified confidence in Mr O'Connor than I have , still I look _upooit as _neoes _. sary _, for giving confidence to those having money to lend , that trustees should be appointed , of whom Mr O'Connor should be one ; and I know ha would be
the most useful , aa well as the most aotlve of the trustee * . I would _alsoseriously advise every one of the members to oonsider that Mr O'Connor cannot live forever . I am not one of those who suppose his death would deprive the Company of their property , but it would deprive us of that we have no one to supply—bis invaluable services ; so I do hope that every person _oonnected with the Company will use every exertion in his power to facilitate tho operations of the director * , as by ao doing . he will best ensure his _owninterest , and advance ths interest of the Company . Earnestly wishing _suooess to every eff irt to ameliorate the pann of poverty , and sincerely sympathising with Mr O'Connor on account of the dastardly opposition he has to contend with , ia his God . like mission , I am , Brechin , Sept . 1 , 1848 .

The Aberdeen Land Company. To Ths Idirob...
THE ABERDEEN LAND COMPANY . TO THS _IDirOB OP 7 HI XORTHEBN STAR . Sib , —In your journal of last week , there is a report of a meeting of tho Aberdeen branch of the National Land Company , where imputations of a very Berioas nature are oast upon my charaoter . I am charged with having fabricated a variety of wilful _andmalioious falsehoods against the promoter and directors of the National Land Company , with the intent to shake . the confidence reposed in Mr F . O'Connor and the direotors by the shareholders of the Aberdeen' branch . Now , sir , justice demands that I should be heard . Every one knows that the _sffiirs of the Land Company formed no part of the business of the National Convention or National
Assembly ; neither did it form any part in the report I had to make as delegate for this , city in those assemblies . Daring the two evenings required for the delivery of my reports , I did not make any charge against Mr Feargus O'Connor or any other man _. Ind e ed , I repeatedly stated that I bad no oharge to mako againBt anybody ; but I made the meeting acquainted with the _faots , and proved them by evidence of an irresistible nature . These _faota spoke for themselves , they needed no oomment from me . I seemed , notwithstanding , tbat I bad done something to call forth the vengeance of Mr Jobn Frazer and some other members of the Land Company . Mr Frazer endeavoured by a number of cross questions to fix me , and in reply to one of these , and in the
exoitement of the moment , I did say that tho dupes who had inveaied their hard-earned means ia the Land lottery , would live to see tbeir folly . Now I confess I had no business to make suoh a statement , it was altogether out of order , and being reminded of this , I at once dropped the subject , but it was a lucky slip for the Land members . A deputation was appointed to wait upon me , and invited { not ' summoned' ) me to attend a meeting of their oommittee , to explain what I meant by oaling them dupes . The deputation was very civil , and I a g r e ed to at t end th e meeting . I explained that I had no proofs that either Mr O'Connor or the directors had misapplied the Company ' s funds , but that it waa my impression that the plan would never fulfil the membars' hopes ,
and also thatfrom some discussions that had taken plaoe in the Dean street brauoh _, there w a s re a s o n to _ausreot tbat all was not right with the management of the Company ' s affairsand that this was further confirmed by a statement of Mr Cuffay , one cf the auditors , made by him in the National Convention . I need not restate the subject _disouBsed in the _Daan-street Society—but it is a faot known to all your readers that dissatisfaction did exist there , and that Mr O'Connor wrote a letter in the Stab in reply to their complaints . It is stated , however , that the secretary of _. thelocality haswrittenofiioially _. aoBtradiotingray statements . But what were these statements ? They were made to the Dean-street secretary , by whom ? And in what manner ?
I have reason te beliere the whole matter represented to the _Daaa-Btreetseoretary to be pure inventions—that he has been imposed upon , iu order to procure a letter from him , to found a slanderous charge against me , and I call upon them to prove their ohargea . or take to themselves the charaoter they would endeavour to impute to me . I am fully oonvinced that squabbles , _disputings , party feeling , and above all , personal animosity , have produced many drawbacks to the progress of our principles ; but I cannot , even at tbe riBk of disunion , suffer the resolutions referred to be published , without vindicating myself from the imputations therein contained .
The Chartists of Aberdees are fully aware of the causes whioh led to the passing of suoh a resolution , aud had its publicity been confined to this locality , it would have pasted for what it is worth . I am , Sir , yours , truly , _Jahss Shirbon . Aberdeen , September 4 th .

ASSAULT ON TWO POLICEMEN . Worship _sibiet Policb-court—On Wednesday , W . Carroll , described as a Frenoh polisher , was oharged with having been concerned , with five other * , in a murderous attack upon two constables of the H division—Skelton Rowley , H 159 , who presented a shocking appearance , his faoe being muoh swollen and disfigured , and ene of his eyei closed up , Btattd that shortly before nine o ' clock on the preceding evening he had occasion to visit the Ben _Jonson public-house , in _Pelham-street , Spitalfields , and aftor remaining for some time in the parlour with another _nrfioer , who , with bimielf , was dressed in plainclothes , the prisoner entered , and after looking _stedfastly . at him for a moment , hastily left tbe
room . He returned , however , in a few minutes , accompanied by fonr or five other men , one of whom made some observation to attraot his attention , and on turning his bead he received a violent blow in the faoe , and while endeavouring to defend himself a st < _multaneous attack was made upon him by the whole party , who flung him heavily upon the _fbor , and the prisoner knelt upon his chest , and held hint down whilst he and the others kept beating him incessantly about the head and face , to whioh they were inoited by the prisoner , who frequently exclaimed , with an oath ,. ' Give it him ; he ' d the policeman that has hunted down the CbartiBts . ' After beating him until he lost tbe sight ef one of his eyes , and his face and clothes were
covered with blond , they all hastened out of the room , and on following them aa soon as he had sufficiently recovered himself he found tbat they had all effeoted their escape except the prisoto ' , whom be secured , Tbe witness added that tbe i fi _i hbourhood contained great number * of Chartists , and he had lately been several times put upon his guard that it was their intention to do him some serious injury in consequence of his having be * n speoially employed to effect the apprehension of several of their leaders , amongst whom was Shaw , re ce ntl y committed from the Mansion House upon a oharge of sedition . — Police-constable _Moseley , 117 H , positively identified the prisoner ae having taken an active part in the attaok , and said that he had also beea severely
beaten iu hia efforts to _resoue his oomrade from the hands of his assailants . The witness further stated that the house where the attack took place was not one of thoBe used as a rendezvous for Chartists , but tbat they must have been watched into it by the prisoner and his party , who had evidently entered with no other objeot than to wreak their vengeance upon them . —Upon being called upon for his defence , it was intimated by a young man standing sear him that the prisoner was formerly deaf and dumb , and had only imperfectly recovered the faculties of Bpeech and hearing . The policeman , however , stated that he appeared in perfeot posssssioa of the power of articulation on the previous night , and on _bsing questioned by the magistrate as to whether be
comprehended the evidence adduced against bim he distinctly answered in the negative ; his sister thereupon stepped forward , to whom Mr Vine , the chief olerk , read over the depositions , when she explained in broken sentences and gesticulations to tbe prisoner , and in reply to them he again dearly answered that he had taken ne part in the assault . The sister then stated tbat two or three witnesses were in attendance , to prove that the prisoner had not been ac * tively concerned ia the attaok , though he was certainly present ; but Mr Arnold s * id that their evidence had better be reserved , as the case was of far too serious a charaoter to be summarily disposed of , and he should therefore at once order bim to be committed to Newgate fer trial .

Barber , aged thirteen , who was living with his parents at No . 17 . Pater-street , Whitechapel . On the _24 * . h July , Mr Brown , Inspector of Nuisances of the parish of _Whitechapel , received a communication from tbe mother of the deceased that the back kit . ohen was full of foul water .

_AFFBAI _BSIWBBir THB MlHTART & R & IHB PoUCB in Edinburgh . —Tho Hi ? h-3 _tteet and Lawn market presented , about seven o ' olock on Saturday evening , a scene of great confusion aud exoitement from tho occurrence of an affray between some soldiers of the 21 st Scotoh Fusiliers , at present stationed in the Castle , and the police , which soon attraoted a large crowd . The origin of the affair seems to have been the determined opposition offered by a small party of soldiers , at the foot of the Castle-hill , to the efforts of two policemen , who endeavoured . to induce them to move away from the door of a shop , around wbich they had assembled , to the obstruction of the thoroughfare . The policemen having insisted on their removal , a soldier struck one of the constables a
severe blow , when they seized him and endeavoured to convey , him to tbe police offices . The rest of the party interfered , and a struggle took place , in which the police were severely beaten , buta small rein _, forcement of _constables under Serjeant-Major Kelly , having reached the spot , three of the principal ringleaders among the _ssldiers were appn headed along with two workmen , wbo had joined them in resisting the police . The _orotrd which had assembled in large numbers , hooted and jostled tbe police , who had literally to fight their way to the police-office with the prisoners ; and as many soldiers ttere on their way to tbe Castle at the time , efforts were made to induce them to attempt a rescue , whieh tbey declined . The whole of the prisoners were ultimately
lodged in the Police-office but the excitement in the street being still very great , and as a number of soldiers seemed determined upon a resoue , the police patrolled the Lawn-market and Castle-hill , to _prevenl'further disturbance . Mr Moxey _, tha superintendent of police , immediately proceeded to the Castle , and alter an interview with the commanding officer of the regiment , a strong _picquet was drawn up ou the esplanade , and several of the officers displayed great activity in collecting the stragglers in the street , and sending them to the Castle . The bugles were also sounded on the Castle hill , to call in . the soldiers , and in a short time all appreheaaiom of further disturbances were removed . On Sunday , several policemen identified four of tho soldiers
concerned in the affray , in the Castle ; but the man whs was the principal cause of the disturbance has escaped detection . . Several respectable inhabitants in the Lawn-market lent most effectual assistance te the police . Yesterday the rioter * who had bees secured were brought before the sitting magistrates at the police court . Ths soldiers , named Patrick Ske _* han , Daniel Maioney , Hugh Macnamara , and Patrick Tougbley , parties to the first attack on tbe police , were sentenced to pay a fine of two guineas , or suffer thirty days' imprisonment each . Samuel Williams , convicted of striking the police , waa sentenced to forty days' imprisonment ; Martin M'Knight , found guilty of attempting to rescue Williams , received sixty'days' imprisonment ; aad
Thomas Morrisey , oharged with attempting to rescue _M'Knight from the hands of the police , waa sentenced to be imprisoned for forty days .
