      Mr O'Connor At Newcastleon-Tyne.

      MR O'CONNOR AT NEWCASTLEON-TYNE .

      According To Hand-Bills And Placards Whi...

      According to hand-bills and placards which were circulated and posted throngbont the town , Mr O'Connor was announced to deliver a lecture . on Saturday evening , OctoberSStb , in the Lecture Hall , Kelson Street . Mr O'Connor arrived at the railway station , by the express train from Carlisle , at twenty minutes to three o'clock in the afternoon . He was wehrmcd by that staunch and talented advocate of democracy—Mr J . West , and the committee of the Chartist Aslociatitta , ' who' accompanied him to hia notel . The masting was announced to - take place at seven o ' clock" , the doors to be opened halt an hour before ; hue through eome cause or other , they were opened at six o ' clock , and at the time stated in the bills for opening them , the hall was crowded to soffocation . '"'•"' ' " -

      Precisely at seven o'clock , Mr O'Connor entered the room , supported by a host of talented' working men . This was the ' signal for a volley of applause , such as b'S scarcely ever been head Made a building . Upon the cheering subsiding , Mr West proposed that Mr Embleton tf ke the chair . The resolution was carried unanimously . Mr Embleiok ia rne of the eldest members of the association , and a' staunch veteran in the cause . Tbe Chairman said be had been an enemy of oppression since 1810 , and whenever it raised its brezsn fron * , he was ever ready to raise bis voice against it . ( Cheers . ) He attributed the foundation of our social system , sf ' < ur Church and State , to the abases of our representative system . ( Cheers . ) He then britfly ran through the ' points of the Cnarter , read the bill -calling the meeting , and called on Mr , 6 'Cos » qB , w 1 jo P » rising was greeted with -cheers , waiving of hats , and dapping of hands . The

      hon . gentleman commenced by saying that wisdom was supposed to be the basis of our constitution , and it was impossible to . elicit wisdom without discussion ; and yet so foreign is it to cur constitution of all others , that they have been to- established and advocated , that our rulers think the constitution of the working classes can be beat based upon silence . ( Great cheering . ) Mr O'Connor then went on to show the nature of the Gagging Bit ' s that had been passed , making felony little shert of treason : Ofthe 'Coercion Bill'for Ire ' aad , the effects of which he predicted in parliament ; then the ' Alien Bill ' and next the ' Crown and Government Security Bill . ' He then proceeded to explain at length the law npon this point , after

      which be showed the great difference that would be manifested between ' a Wii _ thief' or a * Whig liar , ' or a Tory S ! eP or * Tory liar , ' or « drunken bishops , ' Whig * or Tory . * The fault would not be laid on them ; bat inhere is one 'Chartist liar * or dishonest man amongst us , we should find that a litt ' e leaven leaveneth the whole lump ; though there be twenty millions . - { Tremendous cheering and clapping of hands . ) Mr O'Connor then proceeded to show how the Tories had eet forth a' principle' at the Reform Bill ; how the'Whigs had set forth their principle / and that-ha had determined the working classes should haves principle , and that principle is the Charter ; ( Tremendous cheering . ) He then ran through the history of- the Whigs , Tories . Free

      TTaderV & e ., and compared the state of Franca with the state of England ; and the great differe _ ee there would be experienced in-the change of a state of affairs—there would be the Charter for England immediately . ( Thundering applause . ) He _<_ talluded to the State . lrials in Ireland—the Chartist trials in this country—the shameful and rascally conduct of the government in both countries , in using > nd bribing - spies - and' informers , and intimidationtookain evidence againsttaosemeh who are now sentenced to transportation . ( Cries of' Shame , shame . ' ) After . dwelling at great length upon the Land and the Charter , aad- showing ! the working el ' the Labour Question , the value of remunerative emplormentupon the land tor theworMne'eUtsseaiof

      the effect it would have upon the middle classes , and the saving it would ' effect'fej them , and the benefit that would he derived'from it-by the government of the country . Mr O'Connor gave a most humorousdescription of tlm Houw of'Commons , and made a most ludicrous mimic speech in imitation ot a nincompoop of a' Lord , ' who carries the influence of the government , amidst great laughter ; telling the spies ofthe government if there were any present , to tell their masters , Grey and Russell , ( bathe said they were traitors . ( ThunderingcneerslAithessmetima giving a description of a sham , ' select , arbitrary , and tyrannical committee , who sat ; to test the legality or

      illegality of the Land Company , but who failed . He then described his visit to Scotland / and showed that at the very places where he expected to * be most abused , he was most respectefLhest-supported , and cheered , concluding a specohwhichj for argument and fact , cannot be surpassed ; if equalled , and sat down amid the most rapturous applause . Upon the Chairman- rising to ask whether there wen any Questions of a fair and reasonable-character , MrOX ^ nnor , inteTOptm __ u _ , saidifthere were any questions of any tried ae wonld . answer them . No question being put , the meeting waa tested , and every hand held up in his favour , "'

      An address was then presented to him from the district , thanking him for his past services , and still placing confidence in him , which was received witb great applause . Mi O'Connor briefly replied . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , three cheers for O'Connor , for the Stab , for the-Charter , and three tremendous groans for the baseband treaokareui Whigs , and the meeting quietly separated .

      Review Of The Proceedings Of The Land Co...

      REVIEW OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE LAND CONFERENCES Receiving a report of the proceedings of the above ' Conference as we do , , by each post , we are unable , till next week , ; to furnjsh our readers with a critical digest of the matter , when the business shall have been concluded . For the present , however ,- we' beg ' to call attention to the most important' features ' of this nationally important matter , ' :.. „ . Firstly . —It has been decided that the Com ? pahy shall be registered snder the Joint Stock

      Companies Act , and its rules have been unanimously altered to bring it under the provisions of that lawy while its constitution remains precisely' asit was . ' ¦ " •' . ¦ ^ Secondly ?—The principle of location by bonus has been unanimously adopted—tbe Directors baving . made the following favourable alteration ?* - ' - ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦ *> ¦ 'Namely , that "the amount paid " as bonus shall go to ' the credit of the located member ,, ( . whose rent will be reduced at tbe rate of four per . cent ... upon ihe amount of bonus money paifL _ This is . a vital , alteration , and one

      which- willnodovbt be cheerfull y received by tbe members—tbat is , if an allotment ; has cost £ 300 , and the occupant has paid £ 100 bonus , instead o | paying ; ren'tup 6 h ' j £ 30 rj ;; cap ) tal expended , he Will only pay r ^ nt . upon £ 200 , the £ 100 bonus being placed to bis credit as capital—whereas , according to former practice , many have given over £ 100 bonus / still paying tbe amount of rent to which the out-going occupant was liable upon the amount of capital expended . " This alteration of itself—presuming the bonuses to be £ 100—returns < to tbe Company a third of its capital , only rendering it necessary to mortgage the remainder as , < a means of rehiring and reproducing t _ e whole ofthe Company ' s property J & . speedUi as land

      can be purchased , and houses bjiiilt ^ whi | e it"i _ the further intention oftbe : l ) irectors . to propose thatj in all cases .: weretine-t hSEd ofthe . outlay has been paid inrthe shape of bonus , the occupant shall receive ' a 'Conveyance , ) h \ fee of hisallotment ,. subject , to . a ' ! ifenr ^ cha ' rgel upon " two-thirds ofthe property , thus enabling him to mortgage it for the remaining igdd , it being worth £ 300 , and hence , in a majoritjrot cases , tbe whole of the Company ' s capital will be . reproduced ; "TK * - > ¦ ¦ - ¦ * .. ¦** . ' . ^ . Thirdly . —It has been decided that the-nnpaid-up shareholders shall be . called upon to contribute , at' the rate of twopence per ' share / per week , towards the payment of t ^ eiri share § in full from the . 11 th inst , and that the Expense Fund shall-be abolished . : ••¦ ¦ <; ¦ . r :.:

      There are other important questions yet to I belaid before tbe Conference , for the purpose ^ of carrying outf-this great national object , arid , we must cfmdldly admit , ' , t # at . wnai has been done , apd what is proposed- to : be : done , meets with our-entire concurrence and approbation , and henceforth the practicability of the Plan will depend u pon the energy of its members' .

      Chabtism In The Metropolis The'. Conspir...

      CHABTISM IN THE METROPOLIS The ' . conspiraoy of- ' the Government against the right of pub'tfc meeting , and the free expression of public opinion , has been so successful , that for many ' . months the one has been suspended , and . the oti > er practically "burked . ^ To a surface observer , it appeared as though the spirit of liberty had been effectually laid by these conjurors- ^ -and tbe demand for Reform not only refused , bnt thtf claimants utterly " put down . " The back journals of the

      Treasury could not sufficiently extol the " vigorous'' and spirited and successful policy ofthe Whig ministry , and chuckled and boasted over their victory with the utmost exultation . The meeting between Mr George l . ' hompson and his constituents , on Wednesday evening , must have wbfuJly undeceived these w . orthies .. It was the first opportunity since the trials and convictions for the Powell Plot , tt'at public opinion had an opportunity of being t . airly expressed , and it was seized with ayigi'ur and determination that must have struck terror

      and dismay to the . soul of every Whiglit ' £ P " sent . No doubt , in accordance with the Whig policy , there were plenty of spies in the n ieet " ing , and they have duly reported to their em ployers the tone and temper of the meeti SIt must have galled them to the quick , to lea . P that all they have achieved by their tyrannic ** and infamous crusade against the liberty of tbe " subject " , has been to cover themselves witfii everlasting disgrace . '

      ' The immense building in which the meeting Was held , was crowded from an early hour ; and the fenthusiasm which greeted the more extreme of Mr Thompson ' s declarations and statements , was an unmistakeable indication Of the tone and temper of the immense audience , a v . erj ^ large ' prppdrtibn of whom were electors . Mr Thompson ' s ready response to the question as to his . share in the proceedings with reference to the National Land Company , and the frank and decided manner in which he

      avowed his conviction that Mr O'Connor had been calumniated and causelessly abused in thatjinatter f , was in the highest degree credittable to him , It isnot . common to seeapublic man possess ; honesty . enough ^ now-a-days , to stand forwardin defence of men and / me asures ; that dre-eyerywhefe' Spoken agkihst / and about whom thereis a deliberate and , organised conspiracy , nbj only " " , to suppress .: the truth but to spread the vilest . misrepresentations ; Mr Thompson did that : upoh Wednesday , and iibldfy avowed ^ his own deep-conviction of the honefty with which tHe affairs of the Company had been managed ^ ' a conviction founded upon an impartial and careful , investigation of the whole matter . The horn-member for the Tower

      Hamlets richly deserved the unanimous vote of confidence he received , tendered as it was b y p grsohs , whp while they stated thefr approyai ' of , bis general conduct , did not Kesitatf to tell him at , the same time , where tbey disagreed withhim , * .

      unprovoked and unmanly speech attacked Mr O'Connor in the most grossly offensive manner in the House of Commons , thus hounding the Government ' ontb ^ trnTattack they afterwards made . Mr Hume also came in for a share of reprobation , for the . ' paltering with principle exhibited : inhis-celebrated . QuadrupedalMotion . The others speakers were Chartist to the backbone ;¦ and the three cheers for Mr O'Connor , and'ttrreei groans'for . 'Mr .

      ferient and '' deep than the' universal disgust , and execration with which the ' measures of ; the hew Whig Spy .

      In a subsequent part of the article , the differences which at present separate one , section ol the Conservatives from the other , are declared to " resolve themselves simply into the adhesion of a few talented , but obstinate men , to a leader wfcose tortuous policy has been the main cause of the unhappy position " of ^ the Conservatives , as a body ; and the attention of these talented , but obstinate persons , is directed to the actual results of the policy of that leader , as-being sufficient warrant to them to desert him y because , however much he , as the originator' of tbe late Fiee

It is utterly impossible that they can be succeeded by a more ignorantj incapable , malignant , or tyrannical body of men . They have , monopolised all , the bad qualities

In prosperity they are arrogant ^ despotic , and full of blind confidence .

      —is the ' great ' Oharacteristic of niXn , mdividu- . ally arid socially . If , howevef / ithe prppbsiti # n was not true as ageneral one , there can be no doubt that it is so under certain circumstances , and with reference to particular modes of public action . Itis certain to be so wherever a nation has been hurried into the ' adoption of measures , either unsound in . themselves , or illtimed as to their application , by means , the fallacy of which are afterwards discovered . We have livedto see a reaction of this kind in the case of the Free Trade policy , so long advocated by the League ' , ' and so : ! recently adopted , by the leading statesmen of the coun-, „ .- »• _< _ _ . __ . i . i _ . « __* . __« 'Kn ( n / liiii / lit .

      try . ' A few weeks . since , we presented frbm the North "British Mail" ah illustration ofthe manner in which that policy has injured the great" staple interests of the country , and of the repentance which these / results had already produced among , some of its most ardent supporters . Since then , Government returns have made it clear that the melancholy tale of declining trade told by the * ' Mail" with respect to Glasgow , can be echoed by all the principal marts of industry in Great Britain . These

      returns show \ a diminution of four , millions in our exports for the first half of the present year ; and tbereii & littl & appearance of abetter account Being presented after Christmas ofthe trade for the whole twelve months . This , be it remembered , is after the , disastrous year 1847-Suppose we take the diminution of our manufactured exporttfloTthe-year at eight or ten millions ,, and , keep in . view .... the extremel y depressed" ' state *• of " trade ' in' the previous year , it will easily be seen what an immense number of additional hands-must < have been

      thrown oufc of work ; by-this cessation of a demand abroad for the articles they have been accustomed to produce . The hundred small non-exporting trades have , in the first instance , been sacrificed , to p lease the huge capitalists who aimed at'supplying all the markets ofthe world : the millions employed in these trades have been partially 6 r wholly pauperised , in order to subser . ve this end ; and now it ; turns out . that those , who thought to monopolise foreign markets can find even fewer customers than before .

      A significant symptom of re-action in the very head quarters ; of the League , may be seen in the junction of tne "Manchester Times" with the *' Manchester Examiner , " last week . -The "Advertiser" had given up the ghost some time before ; and thus in the capital of the Cbttonbcracyr-the ' . cradle of Cobdenite philosophy—two of the supporters of that philosophy , have vbeen extinguished . Manchester , that used to support fonr Free

      Trade Journals , can now only maintain two . . Coming as this does on the heels of the suppression of the . column' showing the number of miB-han ' ds employed from week to week , and themsmoois of short time in store for the hands still retained during the winter , it mast be owned that'dogmatic assumption , confident assertion , and swaggering self-complacency never received a severer blow , or were followed by so speedy a fall from the high places where , in the excess of vanity , they had impudently perched themselves .

These facts are better agitators than any theories . They are facts that the manufacturers and merchants of thiscityanddistrict . chimot voluntarily and patiently meet . The decline of business must be borne , if it cannot be prevented ; but the most fervent admirers of recent legislation cannot be surprised if its tendencies oe now narrowly criticised .

      , The , " Mail ' proceeds to contend that the Manchester system of Free Trade is misnamed , and has no more right to the title than a bad shilling has not to be nailed to the counter . It still advocates Friee Traded—that is , that the weaver who has a web of cloth to sell , should not be hindered , from exchanging it with the farmer who has a barrel of flour to dispose of in the United States . But , if the United States farmer refuse to take the weaver ' s web , on the condition that the weaver takes his flour , there can be . no reciprocal 4 ^ au ^ g between them . We wish the Free Trade journals had thought of these : practical and business questions a little

      Mr Rand adds an emphatic condemnation ofthe " cheap and nasty" system by which all this has been orought about , and which h ^ always been , and still continues to be , the ido latry of the Leaguers . If the present state of things continues a little longer , we shall , no doubt , have numerous additions to the list of converts , and repentant wanderers . The election ior the West Biding , to which Mr Rand alludes , will form a tolerabl y fair op . portunity for testing public opinion on the sub . ject , if the so-called Liberals do not job the opportunity away . "With the tuft-hunting and lord-worshipping propensities which

      distinguish the whole race of "Snobs , " they hav e gone a-begging to a fledgeling of the house of Wentworth — and this boy Fitzwilliam has magnanimously told them that he has no ob . jections to condescend to represent them , but then it must be without either pledges o r opinions on his part . This serves the " Snobs " right . Is it not a disgrace to so vast , jntelli . gent , and enterprising a constituency as the . West Riding , that any portion of it should be allowed to degrade it in the eyes of the world by such an exhibition ; are there no merchants , or manufacturers , or public tften , who know the interests of Yorkshiremen practically , to be found willing to represent it ? ., What has be .

We should like to see the veteran friend of the labourer , of labour ' s rights , arid native industry , pitted agdmt the scion of the lordly Whig house that has so Jong looked upon the representation of the Riding as a feudal appanage ; and to see whether Yorkshire has honesty and com . mon sense enough to reject the lordling for an '' honest man , the noblest work of God I " We shall watch the reaction , and report from time to time . We mistake the indications around us , if a great movement for the development of home resources and home industry is not about to commence .

Certain Spanish Liberals , victims of the : banguinary rule of the butcher Narvaes , were lately , by order of that ruffian , torn from their families and , without even < the mockery of a trial , exiled to Cuba . On their way ont the unfor * lunate men rose against the captain and crew , mastered the ship , and carried her into Bourdeaux . The poor Spaniards never doubted that they ' would find a refuge in the French Republic—a land consecrated to' Liberty , Equality , and FBATBRsm . ' 01 course tbe Spanish autborities , ' hungering for blood , ' demanded that the refugees should be eiven uo to

      them . Will it be believed tbat , contrary to ihe law of nations—U > gay nothing ofthe law of humanity and the honour of " ' France — they were given up ! CiVAioNAO-the butcher .

Which had been stolen , and , wiih tho principals , was convicted and sentenced to ' seven years transportation . The learned gentleman , stated tnat he had been engaged for the prisoner , but owing to the case having been suddenly called on , oat of its turn , she had not had the benefit of counsel , nor had he any knowledge of . thaoaschayihg been tried until he saw a report of itin the newspapers ..
