V " * { _GMtinutdfiom ihc First Page . ) joicing- ( Loud and continued cheering . ) I will now introduce Mr . M'Grath of the Chartist Executive * cd Land Directory to you . ( Renewed cheering . ) i _MrvM'GiuaH on rising as loudly cheered . He _congratulated the people of Newton on the splendid demonstration which they had made to-day in favour ef Chartism , combined with Landism . He hoped that the numerous meeting that assembled to-day at the Tower , and the spirited and enthusiastic one which he now jiad the honour to address , would result in good to the people of Kewton particularly , and to the movement generally . He knew that the
_Democratic North \ _rould read in Saturday ' s Star with exultation the proceedings which have taken place here to-day . They will be cheered with the con"riction that their countrymen in the west are instinct with the same pure spirit of _W' . 7 actuates and animates themselves . . ( Cheers . ) lie looked to results as the true index of the _jood effected , thev had now in this little town 160 metabersin the " Land Society , what addition will this day ' s proceedings make to that number ? he hoped to hear ere man ? days passed over , that the present nuteber is doubled . ( Cheers . ) It such should not prove the case , be thought that the working men of this
town woHld prove themselves criniinallj negligent of their best interests . ( Hear . ) He thonght that while they _struggled fbr social improvement they should not neglect their political mancipation ,, ( Cheers . ) By their own apathy and indifference they were now the veriest slaves that ever crouched at the footstool of despotism . Mr . M'Grath here entered into alucid investigation of the political degradation of the _toiling millions , and set forth by the most irrefutable argumentation the claims of the people to the immunities of freemen : when the speaker had concluded , tbe meeting rose simultaneously and cheered for some minutes .
Mr , _O'CoJUf or was received with cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs that made the building ring . He said , Sir—This day ' s proceedings are to measourceof two-fold satisfaction and pride . Firstly , I think I may console myself after the transcendant speech you ha _* re just heard from theyoung gentleman on your left , Mr . M'Grath —( lond cheering)—with the cheering reflection , that when my lamp of life is burnt ont , when my thread is span , that I leave . behind me a staff well qualified to see my principles realized , my motives justified , and ray cause triumphant . ( Cheers . ) My next cause of comfort is , that I have this day succeeded in breaking the charm and
S trength of party by uniting the agricultural serf with the manufacturing slave —( great cheers)—and belitTe me , sir , that this is taking one of the strongest props from faction , because it has ever been the practice to persuade those two orders that they are two separate and distinct interests . ( Cheers . ) The landlords upholding their privileges by the force of THEIR slaves , and the manufacturers making battle with THEIR serfs . Bnt now , sir , thanks be to God , we have taken both from faction , and I have much hope from this glorious bnt tardy union . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connor then entered into an interesting narrative of the Chartist movement , explaining the various
enemies and opposition it had to contend against , and asked if it was not a wonder that any man living above want , should dare to advocate the condemned principles . He next entered into a most lucid and satisfactory exposition ofthe Land plan , and the capabilities of the soil . Apart _. said he , from its durable effect , I will show yon the security it presents to its members through tbe several stages , from subscription , to location , and its _everlastingeffectuponsociety atlarge . firstly then ; when a section is full , and a ballot is about to take place , many meii will gladly give a bonus for the chance of a prize—that is , will purchase a share for more than double the original
amount —( eheers . ) A circumstance which injures no one , _inasmuch as it is matter of total indifference whether A or B shall have a share . Secondly . —If a member draws a prize he will be sure of 30 , 40 , or 50 pounds for the preference , when he shall be in a situation to dispose of his allotment , without detriment to individuals , or to the funds of the society—( cheers . ) Here , then , are two fascinating features , -which will be rarely if ever presented , as few will abandon now a chance of priority ; and I pledge myself , that once housed no man will relinquish his claim for any amount that can be reasonably offered —( cheers . ) So much , for the progress from
_Hieniber-Ship to location , and now 1 will suppose the worst , the very worst , that could possibly happen—tbe failure , the utter failure of every single occupant . "Why , even then , the plan remains , and I pledge myself , that not one allotment , if let by tender , wouid remain untenanted forty-eight " . hours—( cheers . ) Nay , more , I am now in a situation to judge , and I pledge my faith and knowledge that the Herringsgate Farm , if let on tender to-morrow , would let to solvent , substantial tenants , without the respective premiums of £ 15 , £ 22 10 s , and £ 30 , for One Hundred a year more rent than the society will charge ; and even more , much more than tbat , while each
year ' s improvement will be a savings bank for labour of which neither government , law , nor commercial failure can dispossess him—( loud cheers . ) Let me now remind you of a simple fact , which has not yet even Btruck the members . I would , then , ask you , where any twelve of you would turn to secure allotments of two , three , or four acres , with suitable cottages and capital ? There is no such market for labour—there is no such hope , no such harbour for you . And now , allow me to show the interest that all classes of sooiety have in its success . I commence with the landlord-class , aad I will even go so far as to admit that the plan , if largely carried on *
would benefit them , by making their wholesale badly cultivated commodity , a retail article widely competed for —( cheers . ) I will admit the rise in the price of Land , and yet I care not what they charge ; with a free-labour market Land is worth any amount of rent , and its improvement becomes a savings bank for the occupant , while its possession in perpetuity gives him pride and inspires him with love of industry . ( Loud cheers . ) Thus the landlords cannot suffer , and now for the manufacturers , who ransack all the habitable globe for customers , and people islands and colonize deserts from home-in order that they may . be better
customers than at home . Three million pounds irom America , . two million from Russia , and so on in proportion , are good annual returns for the produce of English Blave labour , while some ofour colonies We a dead loss tons . "Well , give me one million of free labourers , with five to a family , and I will guarantee an increase of £ 3 a head , or twenty-five millions a year in British consumption . ( Loud cheers . ) But no , they fear the effect upon the labour market —( Cheers )—and they know that their profits are made np of the plunder of labour . Then for tbe shopkeepers who vote for free traders —( Hear , hear ) why , ofall classes , tbe shopkeepers have the greatest
interest in the success of and remuneration oflabour . { Cheers . } They are the agents between the pro . _ducers and consumers , and , whether would one customer with £ 1000 a-year , or twenty customers with £ 50 a-year each , be best for their tills ? ( Cheers . ) The grand principle , then , of the plan is , ihat we purchase land iu the wholesale market , un shackled from the laws of primogeniture , of settlement and entail , and let it in convenient portions in the retail market at the wholesale price —( Cheers ) -with the protection and advantages that the rules of the society and the integrity of its officers hold out . ( Cheers . ) I have now expatiated at considerable length npon the merits of my youngest child , and I shall direct your attention to a consideration of the character of his eldest brother , to whom he is to ** lo ok
for protection—His Charter . ( Cheers . ) Mr . M'Grath has convinced me that the son and heir will find plenty of guardians and protectors fully capable of watching his minority and insuring his maturity ( loud cheers)—in fact , the transcendant speech that ie has delivered , mainly upon the merits of the Chartist principle , would relieve me from the necessity of a single observation if I , did not think that , like the land and its better cultivation , I could also give yeu an easy scale , a sort of ready reckoner , by whieh J OU could measure man ' s right U the suffrage . It is this—a woman of eighteen years of a _^ e , whether she be wise or foolish , whether she be a philosopher or an idiot , is qualified to be the head of all our churches , at will to controul all our institutions , to make war and peace at her pleasure , to appoint her « n ministers , to assent to or dissent from bills

passed by her wise , * hereditary cousins ; and bier well beloved Commons ; while the _^ conduct , and greatest industry , does not constitute a voting qualification for the wisest man of _twenty one years of . age . ( Loud cheers : ) Now , this is a positive crime ; so that the Royal prerogative may be said to be based on crime . A man of twenty years and eleven months old cannot dispose of his property by will , _biit an infant af eighteen , of the weaker sex , can set us all by the ears , set nations fighting , and control the world . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Mr . O'Connor then entered at considerable length upon the policy oi faction , and the duty ot
the people at the next general election . He showed that it was by no means necessary to have a majority of members in tbe House of Commons to control the will of the Minister ; that ten staunch , resolute members , standing beside Duncombe —( tre - mendous cheering )—the people ' s only member . would snap to pieces Whig or Tory , when some fitting opportunity presented itself . ( Loud cheers . ) Governments were frequently lost or saved by less than twenty-four ofa majority , or a minority ; and twelve votes count twenty-four when given against a Minister who presumed upon their support , or when pressed hard . ( This announcement appeared to give
great satisfaction and to create much surprise . ) You now see , said Mr . O'Connor , that our position , if clearly understood , is not , after all , one of such great difficulty . Get twenty members , twenty _Duncombes , —but they must be Duncombes , —in the House of Commons , and taction ' s race is over , and the day is our own . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) And oh . ' what an out-deor pressure we could bring to bear upon the' malcontents through our little band of patriotic members . ( Cheers . ) You have now heard my views ; you have heard my objects , my principles , my hopes , ! and my very thoughts ; but I am not capable of realising any of them without your
cooperation . ( Cheers . ) Instead of resting _whue lam working—instead of my exertion promoting your apathy , your language should be : Who is Feargus OConnor—what can he do for me ? And let the answer from one and all be— "NOTHING . We , and we only , can achieve our own redemption . " ( Loud cheers , ) Do this , the Land and the Charter will very scon be within your reach ; while I think that you have a greater guarantee for my stability and integrity than for that of any man . living . ( Cheers . ) Not only because I love the democratic principle , and am sincere in my professions of political faith , but because I am one ofa persecuted family , with a
desire for vengeance for their sufferings rankling "in my mind , and with a fixed and deter mined resolution to aid in the humiliation of a proud and tyrannical oligarchy , who were their oppressors and yours . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Yes , my friends , I have an uncle who next year will be in the fiftieth year of his banishment , whose only crime was devotion to his Catholic countrymen and the democratic principle , and I had a father whom the bloody Castlereagh . and his hellish vampire coadjutors hunted from prison to prison charged with High Treason , until it was a boon to be allowed to be dragged from his dungeon to the PURE air of a
prison yard upon a hand-barrow , when tyranny had deprived him of the use of his limbs , but not of the love of his principles . ( Tremendous cheering and waving oi hats . ) Well , then , as Hannibal to his father swore , I have solemnly vowed to seek vengeance for their oppression from every earthly tribunal , but it shall not be the vengeance of blood , as there is no sure foundation set in blood , but it will be the prouder , the purer , the holier vengeance , of pulling down their temple of tyranny , and establishing on its ruins a monument of freedom . ( Loud and continued applause and waving of hats followed the conclusion of Mr . O'Connor ' s address . )
Mr . O'Connor again rose to say that a person upon the platform had asked him if a man could support bis family upon two acres of land ; of course the meeting would not require him to go into the details of agriculture , but as a practical farmer he would say thathe would much rather have two acres of land upon the society ' s terms than have 50 s . a week guaranteed to him for the easiest work . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr . M'Grath then rose to propose a vote of thanks to the Chairman , which Mr . O'Connor seconded in a highly complimentary speech , expressing a hope that the men of Devonshire would mark him as one of labour ' s representatives in the next parliament , assuring the meeting , amid reiterated cheers , that the manufacturing operatives of the north would support the agriculturist champion in the west .
Mr . WrLKissoN briefly returned thanks , declaring that that was the proudest day of his life , and that the men of Devonshire owed the two gentlemen who had so pre-eminently enlightened them , a great debt of gratitude . The meeting then separated in the highest spirit and best humour , giving three cheers for the land and the Charter , three for Duncombe , three for the Chairman , O'Connor and M'Grath , and three and one cheer more for Frost , Williams and Jones ; and thus ended the glorious ceremony of joining together in holy wedlock the manufacturing operatives of the north and the agricultural labourers of the west , and those that God has joined together let no man put asunder .

y ¦; . .. _- . ; . " _, ; india and ' china - - _- j letters and * papers have been . repeiyed . by ' extraorjdinary express , in consequence df a special steamer haying'been dispatched with Sir George Arthur , Governor of Bombay , who' returns - to this country in a hopeless state of illness ;! Wehave by this conveyance , dispatches and commercial news from Calcutta to the 18 th of July , and from Bombay to the 6 th of August . The chief political news'is that the spirit of dissatisfaction' with the Government at Lahore , of the Qiieen-Mother , and of Wuzer Lall Singh , threatens to explode in acts of violence . The notorious fanatics , called the _Akhalees- were collecting in the neighbourhood of that capital ; and fears were entertained of their commencing a bloody struggle . The months of September and October have been
often a signal for butcheries amongst the Seikhs . Ghoolab Singh is surrounded with difficulties in his new kingdom . Some of his own relatives are olaraorous for payment of his brother ' s legaciesto them . The Chief of Mooltan was not disposed to yield obedience to the Government of Lahore , and a contest was expected in the southern part of the Punjaub , iii which the British will be compelled to interfere . . '* ' ' The Arabs , it appears , made an attack en some of the grounds near Aden on tbe 10 th of last month , but were repulsed with a loss of seven killed , and : aeon * siderable number wounded - The cholera has broken out at Hyderabad , where eight hundred had died on the first day . What dying of cholera in India is , the following extract from the Bombay Times illustrates ; it also illustrates the glory of a soldier ' s life : —
" Who shall depict the scenes in the hospitals ? I speak more of the Fusiliers , because of that I saw much ; every cot was filled—delirium here , death there : the fearful shrieks of- pain and anguish . Men whom you had seen but a short time before hale and strong , were rolling in at every _duor , crowding every space—countenances so fnll of misery—eyes sunken and glaring , shrivelled and blackened cheeks . This , too , the work of five short minutes or less ! So sudden was death with some that they were seized , cramped , collapsed , dead , almost as last as I have written the words . Previous health' and strength were no guarantees ; men attending the burials of theircomrades were attacked , borne to the hospital - and buried themselves the next morning . Pits were dug in . the churchyard morning and" evening : sewn up in their beddings , coffin Jess , they were laid side by side , one service read overall . " By ad vices from the
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE , we learn that there has been another engagement between the Caffres and the English forces , under Colonial H . Somerset , in which the former were defeated with great loss , 200 of tlie enemy being left dead on the field . Our loss was trifling , amounting only to tvo killed and 16 wounded . Particulars will be found in our seventh page . The war is yet far from its termination ; the tribes in the interior , to the N . and N . E . of the colony are all rising . A large body of the tribes was said to be advancing against Fort Peddie . after the capture of which they intended to move with an overwhelming force into the colony . From the
WEST INDIES we have a very imperfect account , or rather mere notice of a strike for wages on the part of the native labourers , ( formerly the slaves ) . Thus it will be seen that the *' slavery of wages" has become the _substi- ' tuteforthe " slavery of the whip" in our " emancipated" colonies ; as yet , however , the" black worker is in an infinitely superior situation to his white brother : unlike the Birmingham artizari or the Manchester factory worker , he is not wholly dependent upon a master ' s pleasure . The black worker has a portion of the soil , usually sufficient for his own sustenance , and therefore he is enabled to demand and enforce the conditions on whieh he will devote a portion ofhis time to the cultivation ofthe estate of his employer . Let the English working men think of this , and struggle to get themselves "emancipated . " . Turning to Foreign Affairs , the most interesting intelligence this week from
FRANCEis that relating to the anticipated famine , and the mysterious incendiary fires at present desolating a considerable portion of that country . In our seventh page will be found some revelations of the progress of both those scourges , calculated to excite serious apprehensions of social disturbances , which very often , as history records , are followed by political _convulsions . Rothschild , Louis-Philippe , Guizot and Co . may find their anticipated _^ lease of power considerably shortened . John Bull is said to be an unruly animal when his belly pinches , but the French people , habituated to powder and ball , and having served a long apprenticeship to revolution-making , will be found still more unmanageable . They will never die quietly , as in Ireland , satisfied with "holy unction" and a " moral force" prayer . There is no lack of humbugs in France , but happily tbere is no one charlatan with the influence of the Irish Mnkanna , therefore the people will not be deluded
into submissiveness to a state of misery , caused not so much by the unfruitfulness of nature as by the villainous plunderings of the idle _non-producers . There is , and is likely to be , plenty to eat in France provided it was equally , or rather justly apportioned to those who produce all . When that stock , fails , the poor may then eat the rich , the rich have long fed upon the poor .. The Chamber of Deputies has adjourned after a fihort session of eighteen days . It is not true that the "Address" was voted " unanimously , " in point of fact only 231 votes were recorded , the _opposition en masse retraining from taking part in the vote . On Friday both Chambers were prorogued to the 11 th of January , 1847 . The statement given by several journals of the severe illness of Beranger the French poet is , we are happy to state , without foundation . _^ It appears that in congratulating ourselves last week that there was at last an end to the disputes respecting the marriage of the Queen of
SPAIN , we were somewhat premature ; the announcement af the intended marriage of herself and sister having on thecontrary set the newspaper IpresB of Europe in a blaze . Columns upon columns of editorial outpourings . Spanish , French , and English on this question , are before us , which to wade through may be fairly pronounced an herculean task , Amidst a mass of rubbish , there are . nevertheless some facts worthy of record as illustrating the evils of monarchy , and the views held by the Spaniards themselves as regards this arrangement . Some of the letters from Madrid contain astounding disclosures of the revolting means employed io force this double marriage . The miserable girl called •' Queen" wa 3 coerced into this arrangement by the most villainous
means . The Queen it appears has a natural distaste for her intended husband , which distaste has been heightened by the avowed hatred of her mother towards him , yet _naw , to propitiate Louis Philippe , this infamous mother compels her child to marry a man whom she has taught her to loathe . It was with tears in her eyes , and her bosom heaving with sobs , that she was forced to plight her troth to him . it is even said that certain arguments were used — by some of the corrupt and antiquated , but still licentious , spirits that gloat over the visions of past sensuality , and still haunt the scene of the debauchery of ten or twelve years since , —arguments that one hesitates to reTer to more particularly—in order to excite the _imagination of the child , and Induce her to accent the new candidate proposed by M . Bresson .
Oh her consent being wrung from her , M . Bresson was in a moment on the spot , and , profiting by the occasion , he formally demanded the hand of the Infanta for the Duke of Montpensier . It was agreed to ; and in an hour or two afterwards , a courier was on his way to the capital of France . Let us now see how thiB double " sale" has been received by the Spanish people . With one exception , the Heraldo , every Madrid paper has denounced the intended marriage of-the Infanta with the Duke de Montpensier . John Bull in the height nf his "Church and King" insanity , never hated Frenchmen mare heartily than tbey are detested by their neighbours , the Spaniards ; and in truth , Spaniards have suffered too much at the hand of the French governments , to entertain anything approaching to fraternal sympathies for their friends on the Gallic side of thc PyrenesB . Against this French alliance .
or rather French domination , all parties , hut the Camarilla , combine . Progressistas , Carlists , the mostimportant section of the iModerados , appear _*| de termined to oppose this intended marriage to the death . With regard to the popular feeling through _, out Spain , the following extract from an article in El Especlador seems to exactly express it : — "These arc considerations which prohibit Montpensier from ascending the throne of Spain . In bis character of * Frenchman the War of Independence forbids it ; in his _character of Bourbon tho liberticide intervention of 1823 ; in his character of Orleans , the promises made to the emigrants in 1830 turned into derision , thc failure of fulfilment ofthe Quadruple Treaty , the dubious conduct of his father ' s Government throughout the _Cai-list war , and the support which that father ' s Government has afforded to tlie tyrant ofour country—all these considerations prevent Montpensier from aspiring to the throne of Spain . "
- _Illustrations of tlio feelings above expressed we might multiply to almost to any extent . The suppression of this feeling is to be attempted by tbo most arbitrary means . Already several of the Madrid journals have been seized for protesting against this marriage ; M . Bresson declares that " what do has obtained by the pen , bis Government will defend with the sword ; " and . lastly , Narvaez is to take the place of Isturitz as President of the Council of Ministers . He is on Jus way to Madrid , to strangle , shoot , or baniah all who oppose his master , the French " Traitor ot the Barricades . " In the meantime popular excitement increases . Thelouleat epithets are publicly made use of aga _' mst Louis-Philippe , Guizot , Bresson , _"Montpenaier , Maria

the beast's neck ,. it suddenly turned and gored him about the body in a frightful manner , and it was only by using extreme violence that the animal was made to relinquish its attack .

The prisoner was again remanded till Friday , the 18 th instant . Punishments in Algeria . —At Al giers , when any one had to complain of the Cadi ' s judgment , or when
the adverse party would not submit to the decision , the complainant went to the Cosbah , seized with both hands a bell chain hanging at the gate , and rang with all his might . An officer then appeared , to whom he related his ease . A message was sent to the Cadi , inquiring into the correctness of the statement made by the plantiff , to whom was rendered whatever justice appeared due to him . On the contrary , if the plaintiff was found to be in the wrong , he was bastinadoed with some hundred blows on the soles ofhis feet , and was besides compelled to undergo all the consequences of the judgment of whichhe complained _. When the question related to a criminal affair , the Dey sent the culprit to the A ga , who caused the sentence to be executed forthwith . The punishments
inflicted nn criminals were barbarously severe . The slightest offence against the Government was punished by the bastinado , which was administered not only on the soles of the feet , but also on the belly and the back . From thirty t « twelve hundred blows were given , according to the nature of the offence . Two men , each armed with a piece of flexible wood , as thick a 3 an ordinary cane , alternately struck the culprit , who , was laid on a sort of bench , with his legs and his arms tied . Even when the criminal sometimes expired under this punishment , the executioneers continued to strike , until they had completed the number of blows specified by the sentence .

impaled ; burned , alive * or thrown upon great iron hooks atthe gate of Ba- _^ zoun , on which they remained impaled for several days , until they died of hunger in the most horrible sufierings .

Her left arm was in a sling . There was a deep cut on the back of her head , and several bruises un her face . It appeared from the evidence of the woman , which was entirely supported by that of
another witness named Matilda Paulin , that her hUS « band kept the house , No . 8 , Upper _Chnpaian-treet _, St . Gcorge ' _s-in-the-East , aud the prisoner and his wife rented an apartment in the same bouse . On Saturday afternoon the prisoner came home intoxicated , and ill—UfiCd his Wife , Whom be tttJ'ed some very bad names .

He continued to use very bad langu-ige _, and said if he could meet with her husband he would beat him . The prisoner ' s wife then locked him iii the room , but he soon made bis escape from it by the window , and then made an attempt to enter Mrs . Ford ' s room , and threatened to annihilate
her . She locked the door upon him and declared that if he attempted to molest her she would throw some hot water over him . He disregarded this threat , and after making use of the most abominable language , he forced the door open . Mrs . Ford , who was in the act of washing up some dishes , threw a saueepan full of warm water over him , on whichhe took the saucepan from her hand , and after knocking her down with his fist , he beat he » over the head witli the saucepan .

reach the fire , and was about to reach an ironbanger ana plate attached , when he snatched it from her , and beat her over the neck , shoulders , andleg » in a most savage manner , nor did he leave off until he had complately dis « abled ber . She managed to crawl into the street , although the blood was streaming from ber wounds , aud a policeman , named Hawley , came to her assistance , and soon discovered the prisoner , who was concealed ifl his room , and took him into custody . The ironhanger and plate , which the _prisontr _' iad broken over the _** _" _(*• man , was found in his room . The prisoner was con ** mitted for trial .

Being Attacked With The Prevailing Disea...
being attacked with the prevailing disease , whicli i * raging to an alarming extent amongst the horned cattle , a large number of Scotch beasts , in the G reat Park , have also been similarly attacked . No less than seventeen Scotch cattle have fallen victims to the epidemic up to Friday . It appears , from all a _« - counts which have been seen , that thc disease firs ' broke out in the north ; manifesting itself at aa early period in the spring , in Perth and its vicinity * _i _may _? ° considered ns a very curious fact , th _»« although there are cattle from various parts of _tp kingdom ( from Herefordshire and Devonshire , . _lnstanceAallgrnzinctoeether in the Great Park at
V \ indsor , the only description of beast whicli h » vfl been attacked arc those wliich were bred in Scotland . The others , as we learn at present , h » _V _9 entirely escaped . From this it would appear , notwithstanding the various and conflicting opinions which have been hazarded upon the subject , that the disease is not of a _contagious character , but that it is confined to certain peculiar descriptions of cattl _" _* from certain districts of the north . Be this as > may . it was remarked a short time since by _' _J _' _' Wemyss ( the manager of Prince Albert ' s farm ) , * _- liat upon a large farm in Scotland tbe whole of ti _* eattle in one range of sheds were affected bv tl" - diseaso , while in another range of sheds , but a very short distance removed from the former , the w _* remained in the most healthv state .
