' —Sir , —I hav * just return , d from a visit to the O'Oon norvihe Estate , near Uickmansworth , and having ap . hour to spare awaiting the train to Newcastle , I aa anxrans to devote that time to the best possible purpose vis ., that of addinz f Briber testimony to the ? sre-• vio - usly published accounts of the comforts and advantages resulting from tlie iwssession cf the soil . The various parties visum- ; the estate may very probably arrive at different OBclasions as to the walbbeingaad comfort nf tli'isa loostcdTSereon ; but this 1 can state that no-hing that has come within my observ--fiion can surpass the comfort and convenience of their dwellings . I entered tbe bouse of John Heatan . Xo . 9 , and was hear tily ne ' eomed by hims < -Jf and sons , the latter of whom were lm ? y at the weaving . I purchased as much of the material in the loom as " my means would allow ,

      and is I intend in frfare to purchase from Jhoselocated on the Land all that I stand in need of in tlie shape of clothing woven or'fiie Land . I hag mostTespectfolly to solicit the adoption *> f a similar lice of conduct from all pai ties who are favourable to tlie sood cause . Without entering into a fhli dtrail of what I saw and heard on that occasion , suffce it to state , that I-was most highly delieMtfi with ^ tite beamy of the scene , and however some parties may attempt to decry the sell * me , the parties may v & isile in vain to me , aud I would recommend every person who takes an interest in the welfare of the working classes to pay a visit , if possible , to tlie estate , and judge forthcm-elvcs . ^ ot having time to write more at the present .

I did not call on tho constable

      to take the prisom r into- custody .

      Trades' Movements. Buckbimn—A Camp Meeti...

      TRADES' MOVEMENTS . BucKBimN—A camp meeting was held here on Sunday last , May 30 th , on account of a turn-out of Vir llopwood's power-loom weavers , who have been out now eight weeks , but who have been liberally supported by the trades and tradesmen of Blackburn . There are six thousand weavers belonging to the Biackburn union , who hare left the weaver's union of which Mr Couuer lb oooi- (> tary . About ten o ' clock in the morning a large number coUeuud on the ground on which tbe meeting was to be held m tin . afternoon , snd after forming in procession proceeded to the parish church , whicli they completely filled ; after the Rev . Dr Whittaker , the vicar , had finished ills sermon , he complimented them for their orderly

      and respectable conduct and appearance , and their > # od conduct during tbe strike , and trusted that at their afternoon meeting they would conduct themselves in the same manner . They left the church and proceeded to the place from whence they started , when they quietly separated for dinner . At the time appointed lor the meeting , two o'clock r- m-, a large concourse of people baa assembled , and Mr Duckworth was called to the chair . He opened the meeting in a neat speech , recommending peace and good order , and then called on Mr W . Beesley , ( At this time there were not less than ten thousand persons present . ) Mr Beesley said he felt delighted at seeing so large a number present . lie was sure that the people now universally felt the necessity of unity . Local trades' unions could not accomplish what was

      needed ; a combination of trades generally was far superior . A national organization of trades eould not only compel masters to do them justice , but they mm id also force from their governors their political riahts as embodied in the Charter . Mr B . here read from tho Pretion Guardian a statement respectkjg . Mr Oobden proposing a redaction of 33 per cent . to n ! i ! . ' « h . W'k , Siaititig'rdiffrrc'fiCO <> C 9 = »¦ ^ veek in the waj ; es of some of his men , and then s ' lSW ^ d tip the " pk « jv . e" aawashisi wont-on former aacksioiis .

The chairman then called iwmMr Moms , the secretary to the weavers' uvtimi , Yfio want through the grievances the weavers gener .-illy have to complain of , and in a splendid speech reeomtm . r . dra the men generally to unite and send delegates to HaMil next Snudjiy . Mr Bec * ly jfloy < 3 <)

      a vote of thanks to the chairman , and the meeting separated . Another camp meeting -svill be held , on Sunday next , at Enfield , at two o'clock , when W . V . Roberts , Esq ., Mr Beesly , Mr Norris , Mr Sce'd , and many others will attend to address the meeting . The Operative Bakbrs' SociETY . —On Saturday night near nine o ' clock , a numerous meeting of the members of the above society was held at the Prince of Wales , London-street , Greenwich , for the purpose of promoting the object for which the society is established . There were about four hundred of the trade present , Mr Thompson being culled , to the chair , explained to the meeting the necessity oi the society , in order to afford protection to the journeymen . The many hours that they were employed destroyed their health , and left them no time for mental or moral improvement . Resolutions tending to promote the objects of the society having been proposed and carried , above forty new members were enrolled , and the meeting separated at 12 o ' clock .

      To tub Keedlii Makkrs of Reddiich , —In spite of the late disastrous strike , you have done your duty for once , and hononr to you for sending a deleg ate to the Conference of United Trades . No trade in tic utiirerse has such an opportunity of freeing themselves from oppression as jou- one and all join the United Trades , and those who are determined still to be tyrants would soon be beaten . Pointers , rally again—hardners , scourers—yea drillers , finishers , papcrers—even headers and pickers , imitate the makers , and do your duty , and you wilt earn the respect of all honest men , and that of your friend Veritas .

      Edinburgh Basket Makeus . —At a special meeting of the basket makers of Edinburgh and Leith , held in the Britannia Tavern , on the 26 th ult ., for the purpose of takin . ? into consideration the propriety of joining the National Association of United Trades , it was agreed by a large majority that we should forthwith unite with that body . The resolution was carried into immediate execution , by paying a month ' s contribution in advance . We call upon our brethren to come forward likewise , and join in the great struggle for Labour ' s emancipation . Nottingham Framework Knitters . — On Monday evening , May 31 , a public meeting cf the framework knitters of all . branches was held at the George on Horseback , in this town , to hear the report of the delegates of this district to the National Conference of delegates of the United Trades' Association , held in Birmingham last week . Mr Godber , of Hyson Green , near Nottingham , was unanimously called to

      the chair . Messrs Woolley , Barber , Ross and Dean , severally addressed tho meeting on the important subjects discussed by the conference . A teacup and saucer were then exhibited , the manufacture of two individuals in the Potteries , who have been victimised for having taken an active part in the affairs of the Association . The demand for these articles was so great that we could have sold a hamper of them on the spot , if we had them , It was then moved , seconded , and carried unanimously , that the report delivered by the delegates is highly satisfactory to this meeting . A vote of thanks was given to proprietors and editors of the Northern' Star and Mining Advertiser , for the interest they take in the affairs of the Association . A vote of thanks was also given to T . S . Duncombe , Esq . M . P ., for his kind exertions in the cause of the working classes , and of confidence in him and in tho pressnt Central Committee .

Iton . peared that some branches of the trade had forwarded their subscriptions and levies direct to the Central Committee , and others , through Mr Graham , the General Secretary . It was , therefore , resolved , as the best mode of ascertaining the real state of the aecftunt , that the several districts be requested to

      furnish the Central Committee with tlie amount paid by each district , and that the General Secretary be requested to furnish the like information . Mr Weedon , coarse cotton-spinner , of Manchester , brought the case of the spinners employed by a particular firm in Manchester , who had turned out against a reduction of nearly 30 per cent ., without the consent of the Central Committee , before the Conference . After stating the facts of the casej which , he contended , allowed the men no other alternative than that of leaving the mill , moved that the men be placed on pay according to tho rule . A discussion of considerable length ensued .

      Mr lsHnnwoon moved , and Mr Km . mbii seconded , ;< . " . amendment , that the case be referred back to the Central ' uGffiffiittee . • Upon a division , the amendment was carried by a majority of IB to 12 .

U \« y nad t « ke « , according to tha cyideuca before thcnj ' f' &! £ , from further investigation , tho Committee «¦«* oi opinion that it v / as a fit case to be recomriiendc-d to tho consi-luKition of tlie new Central CVroKiittet ; at timir earliest opportunity . The report 'Kas unanimously adopted , Mr Y ' niii , moved ihat iho CumraiMee should in

      tuture he deprived of the power of Granting loans to societies in com emion with tbe associalinn . On being put , the motion was unanimously adopted . On the motion of Mr Pbkl , it was rc-soivt'd that the Central Committee be instructed to prosecute any case of violation of the Truok System , irrespective o ! the victims being connected with the Association . Mr Peel said he had given notice of a motion with reference to tho block-printers of England , but having been elected a member of the new Executive be beggedto withdraw it , with the intention of submitting the whole case to the Central Committee at the earliest po-sible period .

      Notice , by leave , withdrawn . Mr Jenkins , of St Ninian ' s , brought forward some complaint on behalf of the nail-mnkcrsof St Ninian's , Gamelon , and Paisley ; but as they were principally matters oi detail and accounts , he agreed , altera short discussion , to have the whole referred to the Central Committee . Mr CbououAS , of Holy town , moved that the thanks of this Conference are due , and are hereby given to the Proprietors and Editor of the Moniing Advertiser , for sending a Reporter to this Conference , for general interest taken by that paper in the welfare of the working classes , and to the Reporter for the full and accurate accounts which he has given of the proceedings of the Conference . The motion was carried by acclamation .

      Mr Parker moved , — "That the thanks of this Conference are due and are hereby given to the proprietor of the Northern Star for his kindness in setting apart a portion of Ills paper for tho use of . this Association , and to the editors for the ability and Zial they have displayed in advocating the principles of this Association . In doing so Mr Parker said he hoped that every member of tho Association would show as much zeal in supporting the paper as they had shown ; in supporting the Association . ( Loud cheers . ) The motion was adopted by acclamation , and with three times three . A vote of thanks was passed to Mr Barratt , the Secretary , for hh . services during tho past year ; and to Mr Parker , as Chairman of the Select Committees . The Chairman having left the chair ,

      Mr Peel moved the following resolution : — " That the grateful thanks of this Conference , and the members of the National Association generally , are hereby tendered to T . S . Buncombe , E ? q ., M . P ., President , lor the patience and urbanity evinced by that gentleman during the protracted sitting of this Conference ; and the general interest taken by him in the welfare of the working classes of Great Britain . " Mr Dhxcombr said he was extremely happy to find that his services mot with their approbation , because the only recompense ho looked for was their confidence and their approbation , and without that his pride in uniting with them , and iris satisfaction in serving them , would cease to exist . —( Hear , hear ,

      hear . ) He had looked forward to the meeting of this Conference with much anxiety , as the crisis of Labour's fate , because he was satisfied that if it had failed , either from mismanagement , or internal dissensions , the Association had fallen to the ground , their weal would have become the easy prey to the base and interested objects of those who wished to put down trades combinations throughout the country . —( Hear . ) Buthe congratulated them on having arrived at the close of their business in a manner and spirit which augured the happiest results for the future . —( Uear . ) Whatever difference of opinion or warmth of expression had been manifested during the discussions . he was ' certain that every [ delegate had had but one object in view , the benefit of the Association , and that not the slightest ill feeling would be carried away by any gentleman one step from the benches on which he was sittin ? . He thanked the delecates for the manner in which they had cone

      through the business . He thanked especially the Select Committee , for the able and business-like reports they had brought up , and which had materially facilitated the business ; and he hoped that next year they would all have the pleasure of meeting again in London , to congratulate each other on the continued progress and increasing strength of this Association , which he fiimly believed was well calculated to promote the secial and moral welfare of the working classes of this country , and which if conducted as heretofore , in a peaceful , legal , and constitutional manner , must surely result . in the permanent improvement of the condition of the industrious community . ( Loud cheers . ) Ilehadnow todcclarethis Conference duly dissolved . Mr Duiicomhe left the Hall amidst the warmestand most enthusiastic demonstrations of respect and applause , and the Conference broke up at half-past sis o clock , after a sitting of five days .
