irtit portion- of you are aware of the purchase Miiie Afi ^ r ; lipvel Estate , ia Oxfordshire , [ arlali are , doubtless , anxious to know more it A it The estate , theni consists of S 00 of-is , of the very best land ; I haveyet seen for rpopnrpose . There is a large quantityof igSjdings / and a freestone and limestone quarry heo theestate . " The high road from Gheltes . to i to Oxford runs throug h it for about a r < rter of a mile } and the highroad from
y toey to Bamptoa fairly cntsit in two for s anile and a half . In feet , had I been obliged ikemake roads for the purpose of allotting , 1 nold not have laid it out more judiciously . ^ J _ tinot think I shall have to make a perch of nod , nor will the occupants have to keep a inch in repair . The estate is within twelve © aes of the city of Oxford , mthm less than i qree of the market-town of Witney , and less fi « n five of the market-town ofBampton . and irie price . was £ 9 , « M > , or £ 30 an acre ; and I ¦ t nect to be . in possession within a fortnight
tim this time . I assure you that none hut : -ose wHo have studied every branch of the L ind Plan can form the slightest conception e the value of good roads . - I will give yon s ime idea . I will presume a cottage , with outliiildingB , to consist of 150 loads of materials I sail sorts ; that ; at 5 s . per day for man and » , > rse , and . averaging the number of loads at w } ., mH ^ t > e £ 7 10 s . ; whereas , if the roads fere bad , and if the distance was far , four honied horses would not draw the materials for
tcottage , while I will undertake to draw all ¦ ee required materials for a cottage at Minster ilarel , with five horses , in one . day . Now , rleerve . ihe . difference between 25 s . for ebrse labour , and £ 15 , at which I may reasonlily estimate it ; and suppose a two-acre riotment : in theone casea man pays Is . 3 d . a-: « ar , or five per " cent , upon 25 s . for horse XT ^ ^ a 1 ^ Jk ^ irticr ease , ne p ays 15 s . aftar . This fact w 31 , 1 trust , induce my friends I look narrowly into the local advantages , « fore they ail-but insist upon my visiting g K perties . I had a very pressing request this ? k to visit a property in Scotland , of which
ttssessioh may be had in twelve years . You till see at once that the novelty of this iand Plan , and the natural desire of the peop le » be possessed of a p lot of their own , imposes H > slight tax upon my temper ; however , as I ha determined , in s pite of * Eliza Cook' and ilfoydV to lay the foundation for the ecure location of twenty-four thousand men tnd their families , I am determined to keep by temper . The estate of Minster is atnated Inmediately over and within gun-shot of the own of Minster Lovel ; it is within little
bore than a mile of the forest of Wychwood , rhere the occupants will have an unlimited ight of feeding cattle ; and a river abounding jrith cray-fish , eels , and trout , encircles a person of the estate . In fact , it would he in > jossible to select a more favourable , healthy , fa-suitable spot . I have now described the state minutely , and the purchase amply relays me for my day ' s work , which consisted if nineteen consecutive hours . I dare say lie thousands who have visited Lowbands rithin the last month have g iven so g lowing t description of it that surprise will have valished before the day of the Demonstration . Jut this ; much I do say—that I have trarelled in many countries , and such a sight 1 lever beheld . I have planted and manured
learly half an acre of potatoes , ten perches of ahbages , and ten perches of Swedish turnips u each allotment , and I am now preparing the emainder of the ground for Swedes and-white urnips ; and all that I have to request in reurn for my labour is , that the members nil return sober , thoughtful , and intellient men to represent them in the forthcoming- Conference , for there is now an mount of property to he represented , md rights to be defined , which must not be rifled with . The amount of the weekly
subcriptions astonishes many from its magnitude , rhile I am astonished at its insignificance , beieving , in my soul , that if the working classes Fere instructed in the Land Plan , the amount rould be thirty thousand pounds a-week ! Jest week I will write you a letter ipon the experiments I have tried at Lowlands , and the results , which have astonished 11 the farmers and labourers in the parish . Pill then , I remain , Tour faithful Friend and Servant , Fbaugtjs O'Coskob .

which may enable me to satisf y the anxious inquiries of silhere ! * I am , Sir , your very obedient servant ; ¦; ToWm . Hamill , Esq ., L . T . CMHCT . 9 , D'OIier-street , Dublin . 9 , r / Otier-street , Dublin , 21 st May , 1847 . Sn , , ^ -1 have the honour of acknowledging tbe receipt of your letter , under date 18 th May , and in reply b > g to say that I will submit it to the council at its first meeting after tbis date ; meantime , ! have to state that tbe subscriptions forwarded by yon have been acknowledged in the . Nation in the usual manner . I am , Sir , your obedient servant , to L . T . Clancy . ' Wu . Hiiou , Sec . SO , ChisweU-street , London .
¦ ¦ London , May 31 st , 1847 . Sib , —I beg to acknowledge the receipt of yours in reply of tbe 31 st lost . Hot being able to look upon it as as answer to mine of the 18 th Inst . I expected to bars heard from yon during tbe past week , seeing that several sittings of . the council had taken place . I am anxious that this matter should be set at rest , as our members look , through me , for an answer , not expecting any through what might be termed- . " the more proper channel" of IheKittion ; besides , I am not inclined much longer to insult the confidence . which my country men repose in me by upholding a system of indifference
to their just appeal . I . was aware , that , the trifle of money sent was acknowledged in the Nation ; I did not allude to monetary matters ,, as your note would seem to imply . Sacb monies , I believe , are sent to defray Unnecessary expenses of correspondence , officers , salary , 4 c , and ss lone as thev are oronerljr soannH " -- — " - — farther concern , abont the funds . Will you , therefore , be good enough to give roe a direct answer to my ^ oteof tbe 18 th inst . or otherwise refer me to some officer of the Confederation , whose duty it is to attend to tbe correspondence of its members ! I remain , Sir , most respectfully , Yoar obedient servant , 1 , T . CiiNcr .
9 . D'OHer-street , Dublin , 3 rd June , 18 t 7 . Sir , —I am directed by the . council of the " Irish Confederates " to inforia you that . they never : jinblish letter * of adhesion , addresses , ore mmunicalions of any kino which they receive ; there is not , consequently , any discourtesy intended towards you or the gentlemen signing the address lately adopted at a meeting of friends of the Confederation in Loudon , ( which you were kind enough to forward here . ) by its non-pnbhVation . - The address and your accompanying letter were read in conncil , and filed , as all other such documents are ; but the council could not publish thenvexcept by departing from their established custom . . I have tie honour to be , your obedient Servant , Wjc . Uistitt , Acting Secretary . P . S . —I shall forward cards of membership for tbe subscribers to tbe remittance sent by you , by next Tuesday ' s post . —W . H .
50 , Chiswefl-street , London , June 18 tb , 1847 . , Sir , —Not having received tbe cards of membership aecorditig to your promise , I am again reluctantly obliged to trouble yon . It does not speak much for your council ' s improvements on tbe old system to have delayed the transmission of cards so long as five weeks . I ' am in receipt of jours of the 3 rd inst ., informing me "that the council never publish any letters of adhesion , 'addresses , or communications whatsoever . " I lament that the council , for its own sake , has thought proper to adopt such a course of policy , as you must be well aware that this was a source of great and just complaint by the seceding members of the council from Conciliation Hall , and not unfrequentiy brought down their indignant
denunciation on the heads of the . cimnuttea for having practised what the editor of the A ' ahVrn , in his remarks on Father Kenyon ' s letter , in last week ' s publication , very justly denounces " a system ( which he abhors ) of combating dissent by suppressing it . " How , much of that gentleman's detestation of the system was mingled with the repeated suppression of onr reports and resolutions , I will not stop here to inquire .. However , as publication in our case was not the main object , we can well afford to be eclipsed by our national luminary , contented to pursue our own course , by the ligbt of a star of lesser magnitude . Had we any such am bitious views , we have foil confidence in the real abhorrence which Dr Grey , of the Freeman ' s Journal , would have of an act of injustice to any body of men addressing him ; besides , a
iew « uiUiogsexp' . n < lea ou placards might at any time hare brought us nearer to a Dublin audience . " Where there ' s a will there ' s a way . " In vain you say , " tiwre is no discourtesy intended by tbe non-publication ot our address" or remonstrance . Is not its suppression an injustice ! And does not discourtesy and insult ever follow in the train of injustice ? Yon inform me that it has been read in council , and filed as all other such documents are . Whether this is intended . as an act of discourtesy I know not , and I willingly yield it as an unsolved problem to the admirers of mystification . Perhaps tbe party who discovered that air J . O'Conncll ' s letter to MrS . O'Brien was strangely UDcivU , * ' might answer . It is now my painful duty to protest against this mode of dealing with the opinions of my countrjmen . Talk of
the indifference by the English parliament to the peti . turns of Irishmen ! Expect pledges from Repeal candidates ! Address the Queen to call her Irish parliament ! Dare the English parliament act thus ! Ought the Queen to condescend to answer the " Council of the Confederation , " when that council will not answer its own members ! Refuse us an answer in this case , and will not the following questions arise : —Whose rights and privileges do yon pretend to support ! Hot the landlords , —yon have denied the validity of their rights by asking " to whom , atter all , does the land belong 1 Not tbe aristocracy , —they have no sympathy with you ! Not tbe Whigs , wiih them you are now like Milton ' s devils , " beyond the pale of hope ! " Not thepeople , —you besi . tate to acknowledge their inalienable rights ! Not the Tories , —oh , no ! never !
" To this favour you must come . " In fine , is it not a mockery , a delusion , and a snare , to invite the thinking portion of tbe community to joia in a Confederation whose council puts everything into a sort of Pandora ' s box , but without even hope at the bottom ofit I If the council have those stringent laws , who made them ? Or why were they not laid bsfore the Con . federation ? Too cannot succeed in this eourso , and , to use the words of your late treasurer , " you ought not to succeed . " Your silence will only tend to arouse our energies , and stimulate us ' to mora exertion ? , aud we will treasure up in onr hearts those hallowed principles contained in our address move closely than ever : even as the tomb of Emmett remains uninscribed , let it remain unanswered , till other times and other men ran do justice to our intentions . " We are plain men , ever anxious to avoid giving offence ; we have no ambition to be gazetted as outlaws to the " gentlemen's code of honour , " but our principles are dearer to us than our lives , which
must sooner or later be given up , and if it should be our blessed lot to mingle with the spirits of tbe illustrious dead of our unhappy country we , at least , can say that we have not bartered their principles at the mart of expediency , nor sullied their political faith by tbe treachery of our silence . 1 now once more call on tbe council , through yon , far an answer to that address , not in the spirit of supplication , but of justice , fair play , and of right . Ifitbaaot worthy of an answer it is certainly net worthy of hoaje-room , and I do hope there will ba found one member of the council who will prove his " abhorrence of tbe system , of combating dissent by suppressing it , " by following the example of tbe honourable and manly member for Kilkenny's conduct with reference to another document . This wUl be capping the climax , and tend to briogmatters to a speedy reconciliation between Old Ireland and Young Ireland , as "true friendship cannot exist but between equals . " I am , Sir , with best respects for yonr own kindness , Your obedient Serrant , L . T . ClANCI .

J 1 EANS TO AN END . TO IBB EDII 0 B OF THE SOUTHERN STAB . Sib , —The " means to an end" are many ; and the men of Stockport , whose conduct at the present crisis is highly commendable , have shown tbe very best method of obtaining the . great end we have in view , namely , the enactment of the People ' s Charter . Last Wednesday night the Registration Committee of Manchester voted two pounds , as their first offering to the Central Committee of London , as we consider that body to be the proper channel though which should flow tha united strength of all the tributary streams of Chartism , and from thence to flow back opon the contested plains , directed by the wisdom of the governing powerwho will be best
, able to adjndge the necessary portions , according to j the relative strength and position of parties in each borough . This is our opinion ; yet we quarrel not with others who wish to aid sectionally , always providing that the said parties will also send their quota towards the Central Committee . On Sunday the "Lwdsmen" of Manchester beg ? , n the toad work , by appointing a committee " of thirteen .

Manchester.-A Pill For A Penny Pamphlete...
MANCHESTER .-A PILL FOR A PENNY PAMPHLETEER .
~ . TO THE EDITOn OF TBE H 0 RTHKBIT STAB . Sib . —You would oblige me by publishing thefol . lowing remarks in your valuable paper . My reason ft > r troubling you at this'time is , that we have in Manchester a ' wo'M-be author , ' ? a tort of . literary monomaniac , who baa blessed the world with a tract , in which the . Chartist body come in for something more than their ; ' fair . share of abuB 9 ., Being , one of that body , J am desirous of telling the gentleman , who taken to himself the title of , " A i'rimd to Truth , " that he ought ' , at least , ' to be & truth-speaker . This is evidently not the case , inasmuch as he states in his book , ( and , by-the-bye , it is a book ,, for , as Byron says , " a book ' s a book , although there ' s nothing in it , ") - — " . That the Chartists are notorionslv the most ignorant , and also the . most bigoted
of any class of men in the three kingdoms . " That this is not the truth is proved by the fact , that this very book is written by a coward who dare not avow his name to the greatest piece of bigotry , ignorance , and empty-neadedness that ever issued from the press ; and such , thank God , as no Chartist would , or could produce . It is styled " Charity and Common Sense , " and I have read it twice over carefully ; but , alas ' . I can find neither charity nor sense ' . in it : it is one continued string of empty , unmeaning nothingness , and . I would seriously advise the author , before he again takes up hia pen , to ex amine well the meaning of the words " Charily and Common Sense , " and see if the first consists in maliciously , wilfully , and without cause , ' bearing false
witness against his neighbour . " upon investigation , be will find . too , that that sense , whether common or not , is very contemptible , which prpmpte a man to become the tool of a . clique , and thereby expose his own weaKnrss to weTruiloV -In conclusion ; I beg to tell this " Friend to Truth , " that if he Will -be at the trouble of attending the Chartist meetin . gsV we will so appeal to his reason , if be has any , thaVhe will there learn more " Ch & ity and Common Sense " than he is at present possessed ol ' , and make him honest enough to father his bantlings with his propername . I would not have bim imagine that he ,. or the clique be associates with , are unknown to the Chartists of Manchester ; they are well known , and their motives too . But , for their consolation , I tell them
that the Chartists are aware of their every move , and watch their every step ; and are at all times prepared to give them a " . Roland for an Oliver . " I am , sir , a Chartist , who dare publish my name and defend the principles I profess , in " charity " and by the rules of " common sense . " Wm . Dixox . 93 , Great Ancoats-street , Manchester , June 29 th , 1847 . P . S . —Notwithstanding the ravings of such gentlemen as the " Friend to Truth , " and their " Cautions " to the working men not to give their money to F . O'Connor , Ernest Jones , & o ., the Land Movement in Lancashire is making such progress as ie truly astonishing ; in fact , that progress is unparalleled in the history of co-operative movements ; as the following reports will show : —
Makchestbr Bbasch . — This branch of the National Land Company has sent upwards of £ 100 per week to the . Land Fund for the last three weeks ; and the week just ended has been such a one as we never had before . On Sunday night , the 20 th , we enrolled fifty-three new shareholders ; on Wednesday night , forty-four ; Saturday night , sixty-four ; and on the evening of Sunday last , seventy . Thne it will be seen that the working classes have confidence in the working of the Company ' s plans , for the emancipation of the foiling millions . There can . be no mistake aboat the sincerity of those who join this movement , inasmuch as they not only give their names but their money likewise .
Stai , bt-Bbidg 8 .-A public meeting of the inhabitants of Staley-Bridge was held in the Town Hall on the evening of Friday last , June 25 th , to hear a lecture explanatory of the Land Plan of the National Land Company , by Mr William Dixon , of Manchester . The meeting was called at eight o'clock , jat which hour the town-hall was densely filled with working men and their wives . Mr Woodcock , a working man , was unanimously called to the chair . Mr-Vr * . opened the meeting in a short but appropriate speech , and concluded by introducing Mr Dixon , who was listened to with breathless attention
for upwards of an hour , and resumed his seat amidst much applause . Mr Wild of Mbttnuti next addressed the meeting , after which a vote of thanks was given to the chairman , and thepeople separated in a peaceful and orderly manner . The enthusiasm which this meeting created- will , not soon be forgotten . in Staley-Bridge . Such has been tbe demand for entering the company , that it has taken three secretaries to do the work , and up to Monday evening , 150 new shareholders have bu-n enrolled in the fourth section . Then " Hurrah for the Land and the Charter ! The Charter and the Land , hurrah !"

CHARTIST CANDIDATES . , ' ¦ . ¦ ' •¦ - Halifax . - Mr Ernest Jones has issued the following " Address : " - ^ - I .- : ¦ ¦ . ; -. TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTORS OF THE ' , ' ; ' . BORODQtt OF HALIFAX . Gentlemen , —In offering mjnelf , pursuant to a requisition I have received , as a candidate : for the honour of representing your borough . in Parliament , 1 solicit your support as an advocate of the following reforms : —; ¦ ,-. 1 . Universal SurmoE , as propounded in the People ' s Charter , since , if Capital has a right to represent itself , Labour has the same right also , and since experience teaches that those invariably suffer who are not able to watch over their own interests .
2 i Vote biBamot , as tlie only means of perverting undue influenceand intimidation , ana since it t » am « de of election thathas long been successfully adopted amon > . ' the wealthy ci « s 8 e « . ; ,. v ^ . .: 3 . Ahsdal Pabuaments , since we find that sound measures are alwavs more readily carried at the close oi a Parliament than . at its commencement ; and since the objection , ' that elections place the country in a state of excitement , is much more likely to exist after tbe intrigues and confuctiug interests of seven years , than of one . • 4 . No PROKRTT Qualification , since we do not find that a man ' s brains increase or decrease in proportion to his wealth ; nor that amassing riches is in itself any sign ofvirtue , temperance , or honoity ; nor that thosu riches guarantee thepatriotism of their possessor .
5 . Pavmest or MraBnas . as tbe labourer is worthy of his hire ; as , without it , the better man may be excluded by poverty from serving bis country ; as those who serve gratuitously are more likely to be bought by ministers andns members of Parliament should be the servants and not the " master * of the people . 6 . Eqcal Electoral Pistsicts , since any inequality of representation must place important national measures at the . mercy of individual or contracted in . terests . Gentlemen , 1 advocate the above points in their entirety , as embraced in the People ' s Charter ; believing them to . be tbe only just course for placing Industry in its natural position , and for obtaining the enactment of the following measures , to the furtherance of which , as to that of the above , I pledge myself to use every honest means in my power .
1 . Tbe Sepabatioh of Cuoitcn and State , and the abolition of all religious endowment at tbe hands of Government—since those who worship Mammon cannot worthily serve God ; sines religion hixt too stusted to be made the tool of party politics , being an emanation from the Deity , and not of the Houses of Parliament , 2 . The Restoration , of that portion of the Cuoacn PaoPERTt taken from the poor , to its rightful owners , leaving the support of the ministers of religion to those who follow their guidance . , 8 . A ; Volontabt System or EnoCATioN , enabling ever ; section of the community to give their children religious and secular instruction , in accordance with their own convictions , without any Government later , ferenee or control .
4 , The Abolition or Capital Pusishments , since the respite between condemnation and execution does not afford the opportunity for true repentance , and since a ' sanguioary law exercises an injurious effect , !); familiarising the popular mind with acts of cruelty . 5 . The Abdhtiox or the New Poor Law , and . the establishment of a system of relief and remuneration In accordance with the spirit of Christianity and justice . . . . . ; . . Tub Bsfeai . op the Law . sof Pbimooknjtuhe and Entail , sinee , th « seiaws tend to lock up the land in the hands of a few , and keep a body of political tool « at the beck of Governinentja the pauper-sons of titl ad houses . -.-. 7 , Thb Repeal of ths Gaite Laws , since , as game is kept at ths expense of all , it ought not to be exclus ^ ieV j enjoyed by the fow .
. 8 ; A System of Tmbect Taxation , and no sectfttf . er vice-money , since where nioney ia honestly , i / pcnl no one need be ashamed to own how it ba / J beei applied , 9 . An Extension of the Shall PaoriiExcay S mtem by means of Government support , for reclaiming wast lands , and th » purchase ofland for tho people , 10 , A consistent development of the princip ' / e of 1 ' Tbabe , by a repeal of tbe Na vioatios La ws , and othe monoposUs pressing on tho mechanical and sgrlcultnra industj-y of the country .
Oeiitlemen—I hare but to add ia conclusion that , if re tuvjed , I shall lend my support to those Paeaeures , fucili taking , by railroads and cheap postage ,, the means o ¦^ a » y and rapid transmission and intercourse ; that shall oppose all foreign wars , not rendered necessary fo self-defence , or the purposes of burjianity ; and that shall feel it my duty annually to present myself befori theinhabitants of yoarborongh , in public meeting as setnbled , and there to resign ni . ^ trust into their hands should such be the will of the'majority . I remain , Gentlemen , yours very faithfully , London , June , 1817 . Ebnest Jones .

rejecting him as a candidate , partly on account of the general liberality of his views , but chiefly because he had pisitively refused to bind himself by any pledges . There is net the least doubt of the readinessoi'Sir Digby Mackworth to stand , and those ivho have nominated Sir Howard Douglas seem also to calculate confidently on inducing him to withdraw his resignation . Whilst the uttra-tories have rejected Mr Cardwell as a candidate , the Liberal Conservatives have prepared a requisition to that gentleman , which has already received tho names of the leading members ' of that party .
