k , letter from Berne of the 16 hh , _says : —1 ' send yoa . short _reroine ofthe important news received to-day bjthe "Vorort . Whilst the palri & _ts ofVal de Trasras wae seizing tbe foar waggons laden with _amoanifion from the Verrieres , another convoy of - renteen carts entered ihe Neufchatel territory , at - part in whieh the people are very much devoted to prosia . and thos succeeded in aniving at Rocbefprt , j-iEage situated at two leagues from Neufchatel , mthe great road to France . The convoy was still la tbat locality yesterday morning . It had bren _ee-( _Cttedfrom its arrival on the territory of Neufchatel _^ detachment ef men , _commanded by Captain _jloariet , which isa compromising circumstance for . { ie authorities , who proved or tolerated this species
of foreign intervention en tbe Swiss territory . Tbe federal Directory has also received information tbat ten waggons containing ammunition , equally _des'ijgd to tbe canton of Fribourg , had arrived at Pont * iliea on the 8 tb , and that they were in depot at { ig Sab-Prefecture . There was one general cry of _jH _* jg _* istion against the conduct of the French _porernmentm this affair , both in the Doubs and in Svdtzerhuid . Dispatches from M . Stockmar , the Federal Commissioner to Neufchatel ,-were received this evening by the "Vorort , but nothing has yet transpired as to tlieir contents 1 . The Industrie ! le & mer is now perfectly armed , and ia commanded by an inhabitant of Yaud , who was formerly an officer in the English navy . Day and night this vessel traverses the lake in all directions , and it is seconded
by abont twenty little vessels , occupied by _carahasers . A » , howew , the fog is very thick , it _isi possible that if tbe Neufchatel government decides to send off the convoy -which is at Rochefort , it may scape the military surveillance organised by the j inhabitants of Yand . To prevent theconr .. y « of gunpowder from _proc-eding in the direction of Morat . the government of Yaud has caused artillery [ to be p laced at Sangr , a hamlet situated at the opening of the river LaBroie , which unites the lake of Morat to the Lake of Neufchatel . The Grand Council of Giaris has , by a vote of seventy-nine to eleven , decided to give instructions rimilar to those cf Zurich for Uie execution nf the decrees of tbe Diet , and it bas besides set aside its Deputy , M . Blumer , ihebndamman , who was considered deficient in
A letter dated the llth , states : —Tbat the _fiesmer Industrie ! had captured in the lake of Xeofehatel a large boat laden with arms , and bonnd toFribrarg . A later communication has the following : — ' The - " earner which the canton of Yand had manned and armed on the Lake of Neufchatel , as s vessel of war , in order to intercept any vessel that might be conraring arms to the Fribourg shore , presented itself litiuniwo cables length ofthe city of Keufc ' aatei , raider what were regarded as menacing and _hestile _rnean-stances _, and produced a reclamation on the part af that canton agaitst that of Yand , which was tnennitted tothe Vorort of B roe . *
A letter from Berne , of the 12 th , in tbe Presse of Saturday , says : — ' On Sunday the meetings _c-f the t * o _landgemeinds ol Upper and Lower Unterwald _wereheld . The assembly at Stanz was attended by 2 , 300 citizens , and that at Saarnen by 4 . 000 . The votes were given , according to ancient tradition , by holding np the hand- At both meetings a resolution vss unanimously come to , that the decisions of the two governments to remain faithful to the _Sonderfend , and to defend to the last extremity the
cantonal independence , should be adhered to . A genera topic of conversation here is a grand dinner given on Friday to Mr Peel , by the members of the govern nent at Berne , and an enthusiastic speech delivered fej the yoane representative of the British government . Unfortunately it is greatly feared that it wUl be with this speech , a ? with the note of Lord Palmerston , and the conversation of Lord Minto , the publication of whieh b still to ba _lo-ked for with _nap-tience , in order to be able to give to them their real value /
We read in * letter from Berne , of the 13 th , ia uie UnionMonarehi que : —' The greatest impatience ess manifested this evening to learn the result of the discussion in the Grand Conncil at St Call ; but it appears that the matter will occupy more than two _dtangs , for nothing is yet known ; we learn merely that four propositions , bronght forward by the ultra-Eontaine _opposition , and lending to disapprove of the military measures taken by the government , to suppress the civic guard formed in the town of St Gal ] for the maintenance of order , & c , vere successively rejected by seventy-seven votes to _seventythree . Not a member was absent . Twenty-eight speakers were inscribed for to-day , so that the proceedings are probably not yet over . '
Other letters from Berne of the same date , state that the relations ofthe canton of Neufchatel with fee Vorort sre becoming every day more _complicated , ia consequence of the seizure of the arms furnished by the French government for the nse ofthe Sonderrand . The President of thje Canton , in his interview * ith H . Stockmar , the Federal Commissioner , denied tint be had favoured the _transmission of the arms seized , but that , on the contrary , he had written to the authorities of the department of the Doubs , to forbid that any arms or ammunition should be sent through the canton of NenfcbateL Inthe course of bis explanations the President became warm , and _charged the Federal Commissioner with creating _"sabsnasetnent in order to withdraw the canton from the domination of the Kin ; _efPrassia . Thereupon , *> violent a scene ensued that ths President declared thathe wonld break off _furtbercommnnication with M .
Stockmar , and sent the Councillor of State Calame to Berne , to complain and to demand the recall of M . Stockmar . To this _demand the Vorort peremptorily refused to assent , and addded , that if the representations made bv XL Stockmar did not receive due _attentaa tbe Yorort wonld occupy tbe cnntwi of _Nenfcbatel with a military force . It appears further that _eonsiderabie irritation prevails in the canton of Neuf-- * " &! , and that much dissatisfaction is felt at the eonrse pursued by the government . _A Berne letter of the 13 _* h in thc _Conservatear , says- — -Atthe election which had just taken place * t Berne for a representative , in the place of M . de « alwgl , who would not accept his nomination , the _oadicil _candidate , Colonel Muller , was chosen by 333 rotes against 248 given to the _Conservative candidate , -J . _Vildb- - _>! z Thus the city of Berne 13 decidedly * dded to the Radical party .

This dis . tact has b ; en summoned by tbe cantonal government of _Jmbourg to suppl y its military contingent to the army destined to support the Sonderbund , and to oppose the Federal government . Atan assembly ofthe population of thedistriot , held on the 13 th , it was resolved to refuse to comply with tbis demand , and , on the contrary , to place itself at the disposition of the Federal government . Ifthe cantonal government of Fribourg attempts to compel the district of Morat by force of arms to supply the required contingent , a Federal intervention will doubtless be demanded , and cm scarcely be refused . Civil war would be the immediate result .
KEroaTED Decision or St . Gaix w _tavotjr op ihb Dm!—Letters from Switzerland of the 15 th inst ., state that the grand council of the canton of St Gall has at leugth come to a decision on the question ofthe Sonderbund . This decision was looked to with great interest , as upon it , in a great measure , depended the question as to wbether tbe liberal and _eoverning party should retain its majority in the Federal Diet . The council has come to the resolution , by a majority of 76 to 73 , in favour of tbe adoption of snch measures , even to the exercise of military force by the Federal Assembly , as may be thought necessary for the purpose of enforcing the resolutions ofthe Diet with respect to the di-solntion of the Sonderbund . The importance of this decision will be estimated whvn it is recollected that the vote of tbe council ef St Gall ensures a majority of the whole of tbe cantons in favour of coercive measures against the Catholic cantons . This result ,
though previously foreseen , has had the effect of greatly raising the confidence ofthe Liberal party , which appears determined to enforce the resolution of the Diet by aU means in its power . The utmost enthusiasm is the consequence , and that enthusiasm is greatly increased by tho indignation felt at the unworthy conduct of the French government , in patting arms into the bands of the rebel cantons to resist the supreme government . The triple council of Zug assembled on the 12 th , in order to draw up further instructions for their deputy to tbe Diet . A motion _. _tproposed by the Liberals , to the effect that the Sonderbund and tim Jesuits sheuld be denounced , was negatived by a majority of 116 to 20 . On the other hand , a motion for the dissolution of the separate alliance was unanimously adopted , but with the condition that the question of the Jesuits should be allowed to drop , and that the civil and religions rights of the Catholics should be guaranteed .
. -. cstruk _TaiKRVEsney . —A correspondent of the MLgetaane 2 eziung writes as follows , on tbe 8 th inst ; , dating his letter from the banks ot tbe Danube : —* I lose no time in informing yon . thatin consequence of the menacing _srmptons ofa civil war in Switzerland , tbe cabinet of Vienna bas determined on drawine a military cordon along the whole length of the Swiss frontier , fromthe Lake of Constance to the Lago Mageiore . Orders to this effect have already been issued to the different commanders in Tyrol and Italy . *
P _3 SEIOS ISTEBVEKTIO *' . According to letters from Vienna , the Austrian cabinet has given orders to concentrate on the frontiers of Switzerland an army of from 20 . 000 to 30 . 000 men . Ob its side the Gazette de Bide announces that on the French frontier orders have also arrived to prepare military cantonments in several localities ofthe department of the _Hant-Rhin . Tbe unjustifiable conduct of the French government in _seVang arms to tbe rebel _emtons of Switzerland is still severely dwelt upon by the Paris
papers . The Frankfort Jmmal of the 17 th instant an . nounce ? . nn an authority worthy of credit , thatthe three Northern Powers , acting in accord with France , will interfere in the affairs of Switzerland . The intervention will be intrusted to Austria and France , and the other two P & wers will aid and assist them . This extreme decision is not to be adopted until an appeal shall have been made to them by the Sonderbund . The _P-.-wers regard such an appeal not only as a justification for an intervention by virtue of the trea t y of Vienna , but likewise as a duty .
Necpchaiel—The _Neufchatelese government engages formally to toking fitting measure to prevent all passage of arms and ammunition through its territory for the states of the Sonderbund . A new incident has just arisen relative to this kind of convoy . The day before yesterday there were seized a cargo of seven cases , filled with aims and ammunition at Rbeinielden , in the canton of Arean ; this cargo , which , itis said , came from Stra _> bure by Ba _' e , was addressed to the customhouse at Zurich , without doubt to elude the vigilant look-out that iB kept ; for if it be shown thatit is really the communal conncil of that place which commanded these aims , it will be responsible for snch an act to the government , but it is generally supposed th » t the intercepted cargo was intended to be carried to tbe primitive cantons by the aid of conservative employes at Zurich .
Morat . —AU the militia of that district repaired yesterday to the prefecture to _deelare that they refused to accede to the summons sent them to go and swell the numbers of the _Sonderbur-d troops , This determination has caused a great irritation in the Ultramontane party . and the most violent measures have been proposed in the Council of State of Friburg by the deputy at the Diit , Fournier , for the purpose of overcoming the resistance of the district of Morat . The Federal Council cf War ( the highest military authority ot the Confederation ) has been sitting for the last two days , and is bnsy in devising means to place tbe Federal army in a state to respond to the appeal which will be made to it by the Diet .
St Gaix . —The Grand Conncil of St Gall have carried a resolution in favour of coercive measures against the Sonderbund , by a majority of 76 against 73 . The consequence of these decisions wili be , that the Diet will vote for the forcible execution ofits decrees by the same majority exactly as that by wbich the decrees themselves were voted . Thus 12 i States out of 22 have come to a resolution tbat the _league of the Catholic States , called the Sonderbund , should be dissolved . Behsb . —A serious movement has manifested itself among the Catholic party of the canton of Argau _. and the government of tbat canton has sent to the Directory , demanding * prompt reinforcement jtf tl e Federal troops , not only for the purpose of patting down the Catholic revolt , bnt to awe a corps of Lucerne troops which have advanced to the frontier « f ATgau , and are threatening to join their Catholic brethren .
A large number of troops and artillery , which had assembled at Than as a camp of instruction , entered Berne , and the whole ofthe neighbourhood is swarming with troops . A general levee of the whole of the Bernese troops if o . dered by the authorities , without waiting for the authority of the Diet , of whose decision on the point there can be no doubt , since the vote of the Grand Council of St Gall . The number of troops which will be in a few days assembled by the canton of Berne alone will _amoonttomorethan 50 , 000 men . On the other side the Catholic cantons are preparing vigorously for _thestraggle . The people of _Valais , _havingbeen consulted ol the que-tion of peace cr war , have _decided by a majority of 11 , 700 to 3 S 0 that they shall remain faithful to tbe Sonderbund . The support of Austria and France gives them great confidence .
With respect tothe means of defence , it appears thatthe _Csthtfic caatons are not by any means unprepared . Although a portion of the arms and ara * munition sent to thecantons of Fribourg snd Lucerne by the . French government were seized , a still _lapger portion fonnd their way into these cantons . The quantity of muskets sent by France was upwards of 5 000 . » ITALY . Letters from Italy , quoted by the German journals , say tbat the evacuation of Ferrara is again indefinitely adjourned . According to them , tbe Pope demands the . complete evacuation , including the citidel . This Austria refuses . Negotiations were nevertheless still continued .
Thc Patria of Florence states that , on the 30 ih nit ., Count R » ssi , the French ambassador , comma nicatedtothe Cardinal Secietary of State a letter from M . Guiz-it , _announcing tbat Prince Metternich had informed him that Ferrara shoald be evacuated by the Austrians . Bnt tbe _iWnneoof Bologna , of the 7 th , does not make mention of this evacuation , and as Bologna is only ten leagues from Ferrara , it is probable tbat the Austrian troops were still in the latter place on the 6 : b . A review of the national guard with the troop- of the line , took place at Rome on the 7 ( b ,. in the afternoon , outside the Porta del Popolo . After some ma * -. ceavres _, _thetoldiers of both bodies piled their _srms and mingled together , embracing each other , and exclaiming ' Long live Italian fraternity ! Italy for ever 'Long live Pins IX . ! ' They then marched hack into Rome , followed by immense crowds of the people , their bands playing tbe national hymn . MI ( fie i-omeB cf tiie Com were immedi-

Letters from Naples of the 3 rd inBt . maintain , notwithstanding the assertion of the Journal des Debuts to the contrary , tbat the King of Naples was _derermiBtd to resist the will of the people , and to make no concessions unlets compelled to do so by the force of circumstances . His Majesty , it appears , not confiding implicitly in the loyalty ef his troops , had recurred to an unworthy artifice in order to disorganise the insurrection . At his suggestion it was intimated to its chiefs , that if they laid down their arms , he would grant his subjects the
institutions they demanded . Romeo and o'hen , trusting in a promise emanating from an official quarter , _instan ly desisted from their purpose , and the royal troops quietly occupied the districts that bad been the seat oi the insurrection . The King , on being _subsequently reminded of his promise by his Ministers , peremptorily refused to execute it . The President ofthe Conncil , the Marquis de Pietracatella , through whose medium the message had been conveyed to the insurgents , perceiving that he had been made a dupe of by the King , immediately tendered his resignation .
TheTouionnmsof the _lOlhinst . contains & letter from Naples of the 3 rd , confirming the above particulars . ' The moment , ' it says , ' the disastrous intentions of tbe King became known , they produced a general consternation amongst all classes of the population . Nevertheless all is calm at Naples , but itis the calm of terror . ' Tbe Augsburg Gazette ofthe 9 th inst . publishes a letter from Sicily of the 25 th ult ., which states that a proclamation had been issued at Messina promising 1 , 000 ducats for every living insurgent delivered np
to the government , and half the snm'if dead . One of the many insurgents , bearing the name of Romeo _. had beeu hunted like a wild beast , killed , and his head placed on the head of a pike , and exposed during several days in the market place of Reggio . At Palermo extraordinary measures of security were enforced , and strong detachments of troops patrolled the streets day and night . Later inteliieence represents that tbe insurgents have , again taken the field in Calabria and the Abrrizzi .

CHOLERA MORBUS IN THE EAST . Our Malta correspondent announces the receipt , on the 4-h of October , at that island , of intelligence from Treb ' zond _. to the 19 : h of Sept . up to whioh date the cholera which had manifested itself in tbat town on the night of the 8 th . and had , up to the 15 th , been rapidly spreading but afterwards declining , had carried off 133 out of 360 attacked . This disease had also broken out at the close of August in Bagdad , where , on the 1 st of September , out of 16 attacks , 0 had proved fatal ; but at Kara and _Erzeroom on the 4 th nit ., it had nearly ceased , leaving only a few isolated cases ofa mild type . The Austrian steam-packet Stambool , which arrived at Constantinople from Trebizind on tbe Slat of September , with 256 _passengei j . had had three cases on thc voyage , of which two died , and tbe third was not able
to survive . She was ordered to ride ont a quarantine of ten days at the _Dardanelles On the 4 th of October , the Board of Health at Malta came to a determination that vessels arriving from ports where the cholera exists , having actually on board cases of sickness or death , or having had either tbe one or the other within twelve days previous to arrival at Malts , will not be permitted to enter even the quarantine harbour , bat mast remain cruizing on and off the harbour for such _nember ef days as the Board of Health may decide . Upon tbe report of ibe quarantine physician , who will go alongside such vessels , and obtain the necessary information as to the nature ef the disease , the Board of Health will then fix the number of days _bfote snch vessels can be allowed to enter tbe quarantine harbour , and they will be subject then to perform such period of quarantine as the board may , under the circumstances of the _' ease , think proper to impose .
The Journal des Debate announces the appearance ofthe cholera at Vienna ; one person had died of that disease in the General Hospital .

We extract the report from a local paper : —
NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . On Tuesday evening , Mr Samuel Kydd , agent of the J _' atiODal Land CompuHy , delivered a second lecture , explanatory of the objects of that body , in the Caledonian Hall . After some remark * by the Chairman , the lecturer B & id , after , reviewing the past history ofthe working classes in this country , and comparing it with the present , they _hutf reason to be proud ofthe position tbey now occupied . 'When he looked at that _poBition he must say he had no reason to regret tho agitations which took place in 1839 and 1810 , and the turn out in 1842 , as tbey were juet eo many steps for paving the way to the attainment of a scheme wbich would prove really beneficial to tho people . He had long entertained tbe opinion thnt the goodness of a government depended upon the Intelligence
of a people , and thst if tbey properly understood theirreal interests tbe ; had it in their power to subdue aU the antagonistic forces which could be brought in _opposition to them . It was true that there was still a v _. rv strong force arrayed against _ihcmi They found the House of Lords filled with irresponsible legislators , and threefourths of the seats in the Common * monopolised . hy landed aristocrats and tbeir adherent * . Notwithstanding thi * , there was . no reason to despond . - He recollected that during the debates on that great measure of _pras-¦ ical reform—the Ten Hours' Bill—it was declared by Lord- John Russell , Howick _, aud Morpeth , that the working classes h _« d become more intell _i gent and thoughttul . Tim was a declaration wbich he rejoiced at , aa it was a _confession on tho part of tbe leaders of one section
of the aristocracy , that the people were beginning to understand their true interests and to act accordingly . Tbe question of the land had been often agitated in the House of Commons aod the House of lord * in the same manner as that of weaving was frequently agitated in weaving sheps , just because their legislators were interested in the price of _laad as the weaver * were in the ' prices of weaving . Of late , however , on looking at the state to which the weavers were reduced , they had begun to discuss tbe question of the lahdL That question he looked upon a * a most _essential ono to the interests of the great bulk of the _people . In former times tbe people had some lands tb « y could call their own—the commons—of whicb erery town possessed a certain quantity , often extending to several
hundreds cf acres . These had been taken from the people either by corporations or by the neighbouring proprietors , Once on a time a dispute arose between the inhabitants of a village in England and an _ancestor ofthe present lord Morpeth , about a piece of common adjacent to tbat village . A government commissioner _vras sent di > wn to settle the plea between tbe contending parties . The commissioner called upon his lordship ' s factor and tbe parson of the parish . Theso worthies walked over the ground , when the _commU-ioner , after hearing bis companions , witbout listening to thtir opponents , "turned round to the people and told them that the _Gubi-on , tho name of the spot in dispute , 8 BJur > . dly belonged to hi * lordship . Thu was the way in which the people had been deprived oftheir property ; but such a process beiug too
tedious , the landed aristocracy contrived to appropriate the commons by means of enclosure bills , This was one ef the methods by which tbey contrived to udd to their wealth . The obj « ct ofthe Land Company was to enable the people to club their _me-fts tow & rds buying back the land . Though the _landowners had taken the land from the people , many of them were in a state bf bankruptcy oft account of their recklessness and profligate expenditure ; and tho Land Company proposed , and he trusted would be able to purchase those lands nhich they _wculd ba compelled to sell . The purchase of land would give the people , an influence both politically , morally , and social y , which they do not possess , and which they ens never have witbout it . He would not say tbat the possession of the land would enrich the * orbing _clastes , but it would elevate them in the _secial scale—render them more
comfortable and more Independent than they were at present . He might be told tbat the system m _' ght work well enough vi ith two or three thousand individuals being put on tbe land in the mannerwhich had been proposed , but would fail if applied to the whole nation . . In order to _show that email holding * were not incompatible with national and individual prcspcri : ; _, he should direct their attention to the state < f things in "Sweden and Norway . In the former country , according to Hr Laing , a most intelligent traveller , the land is divided into large farm - , wrought by the joint operation of nun and horses . In the latter , It it divided into small holdings , Both countries are under one sovereign . The soil of Norway is moro sterile than in Sweden , and the climate more ungenial to vegetation . Notwithstanding these , tbe
people in the former country are far better off in ihrir mental , moral , and physical condition , than in the latter . What did these arise from ? In the one country the mass ofthe people possess the land , in the other they did not . Tba t was the real cause of tbe inhabitants of Norway being so much more comfortable in every respect than they wets iu Sweden . Switzerland was a country uot nearly * o rich aa England in the fertility of its soil , or in mineral wealth ; besides , it possessed but few of tbe facilities ( or carrying on an extensive commerce tbat this country did : aud yet the people were far more comfortable there than they irere here . It had been asserted tbat a hand loom weaver could earn as much as 26 * . a . week in Switzerland . When he said so ho did not mean that he cotJd earn 26 s , iu money wages , hut that his earnings would procure as
many of the comforts of life as tbat sum would do iu this country . He , for one , did not like to seo tbe people place so much trust in the amount of their wages as th'y were accustomed to do , That habit rendered them dependent on their _masttrs , and consequently less disposed to trust to themselves , Every weaver or in-door workman in Switzerland possessed a bit of land . When the weather was good , he was employed upon It , and when it rained or the weather turned bad , h < a could betake himself to his employment within doori . Thus be lost no time as many did here in being compelled to go about aad * e _ek for work , as he had always- something to put his hand to . He should come _searer home , in order to show thera the benefi ts of tbe small allotment system . They had all heard of Glammls Cattle , ne visited it a
few daya ago , and must declare it to be a splendid mansion , and one that was worth going many miles to . see _. In that neighbourhood there Is a . place called the Plans of Thornton , on the estate of Bar ! Strathmore , where the land is divided into plots of about six acres each , for which the holders pay from £ 2 to £ 2 10 . * . each . In passing _the-e , he found an old man—tall , stom—a fine specimen of the good times when the people possessed far more ofthe land tban they did now , ' ne < ras _engaged in building n stack , and , on entering into conversation with him , he ( Mr Kydd ) was told that he was years of age ; tbat he , his father , and his grandfather , had lived on the same spot as tenantg-at . will of the Earl of Strathmore . One of the old man ' s daughters was employed in the shop , another was coming out of the cow house
bearing a pail , brimful of milk , while their mother was attending to her household duties . Ho ( the lecturer ) was invited , according to the good rules of old Scotch hospitality , to partake of supper with tbtm ; aud he must declare tbat thc viands , though not so dainty as the dishes of Sojer . were far preferable , and had u finer relish than most of those who heard him were accustomed to hare ai supper-time . In tbe course of conversation lie found that his hospitable host had reared a family of four sons and two daughters upon his allotment—that he had given to his sons such an education a * enabled them to fill responsible and profitable situation *; notwithstanding this , he understood that , though tbe old man were ti bo deprived of his holding to-morrow , he had as much laid past as would keep him frem want for several months , Conld many of them say tbat ! He feared not . This old man _^ nd the _people la tbe Plan * of Thornton had b » cn indebted for their comfortable holding * to the kindness of several
ofthe late Earls of Strathmore , who had for many generations proved themselves to be excellent landlords , and he trusted tbe young Earl would follow in tbeir foot steps . Ho might say tbere were few counties blessed with more good landlord * than the county of Pot far . There was Lord Fanmure—one of tbe kindest and most liberal landowners , and one who had a very greatnumber of comfortably-situated allottees on hi * estates . _Besides that excellent nobleman , they had a number ol indulgent landlords in various parts of the county . The scheme proposed by Mr O ' Connor was to buy portions of land ; aud to render them more valuable by settling people upon them , and rearing up small town * in their neighbourhood . The object wat to bring tbe people fo the land , and thus raise its value . The scheme wa * not one of public charity . No one wbo had not paid £ 1 12 s . 6 d . wonld bs allowed to ballot for sn allotment , and after he got it he would be required to pay five per cent , per annum on the sum he had borrowed , or upon the capital ex-

pended in effecting his Iscatlon . It was proposed that every member holding tiro shares should be entitled to a house , with the requisite buildings—two acres of land , and £ 15 ; three shares to a house , three seres , and £ 2310 s ; four shares to a house , four acres , and £ 30 _> In order to raise money to effect tbat , the National Land and Labour Bank had been established , which offered the land already purchased , and the funds in the course of subscription , as a guarantee for the money lent to _Itt The allottees , from the time of taking possession , were , as he had said , te pay _intcti-at of five per cent , upon all capital expended in the completion of their respective allotments , while the Bank paid only three and a half per cent , upon deposits . Wheu all tho sums borrowed had been paid , the allotments and tbe buildings would
be . conveyed as freehold property to the allottees . Besides that , there was another plan of raising money : Suppose they purchased an eBtate of £ 10 , 000 , —in a few years , by their Bystem , its value would doubtless bo increased to t . 15 _, 000 . They could then mortgage it for that sum , as they would find plenty of money-lenders willing to advance it upon the security tbey could give . With tbi * £ 15 , 000 they could _purchase another estate , and In & short time , by pursuing the same plan as inthe former case , its value would be increased one-third ; it could likewise be mortgaged . Another estate could be bought with the money , and thus , they might go on ad infinitum in increasing their possessions . Regarding tbe location of friend * or relatives on the same eatate , he might mention , that any fom-members , or less , of the compiOT , holding
each an equal nurnlx r of shares , none of tbem being , less than eighteen years of age and belonging to the same section , may , by giving notice to the Directors , have their names placed on the r-ame _balleting ticket , and , if drawn , shall have their allotments : in the same estate ; but should a company ticket be drawn at such a period as would render the location oh the property balloting for impossible , they shall then revert to their original position of , members who have not been successful in the ballot . ThU was ; _Sone to prevent that dispersion of _fanllieB IO feelingly described b , Mrs Heman * Ih her beautiful little poem , ' The Grave * ofa Household . ' The system proposed , though partaking nothing of the character of Socialism , didby . no means _proventco-operatlon . The lecturer then gave an instance how the allottees oa the estate of Lowbands had _co-oprrated in purchasing a
boat to convey their potatoes by the Severn and the Canal to Birmingham , and to sell them there on their own account , and how several had joined in the buying and supporting a horse and several other articles of which nut one required tbe sole use ; but which could be lent from one to another or enjoyed in common . He thi n proreeded to refute the assertion made by a writer in a Manchester Paper , that no security could be granted to the allottees orer their possessions , and mentioned tbat Mr O'Connor could not by any means hy claim to a single ineh of tho land , as be acted for and in tbe name of others , and that tbe Land Company would be regularly registered , as _soou as the whole of the signatures could be got ; and concluded , amidst cheering , by urging his andience to become members of the Land Scheme , and to invest their savings in the National Land and Labour
Bank . Several questions were then put and answered , to tbe apparent satisfaction of the audience , and , after giving a vote of thanks to the lecturer and the chairman , and three cheers for Mr O'Connor , the meeting dispersed . Dalston . —At a special meeting of this branch , Mr John Mardoch in the chair , resolutions were passed in support of Mr O'Connor ' s intended prosecution ot the Manchester Examiner , and of confidence in tbe present board of directors . A
