BnotatB Chastists , —We feel it absolutely necessary at this peculiar period , to appeal to yea en hehalf of that great cause to which , on such occasions as public meetings , lectures , and discussions , and especially at elections , you appear so heartily attached ; and , when danger threatens our principles , « r when faction menace with the lam vengeance to persecute the advocates of our cause , there you invariably are at yonr posts , manifesting , in the most unmistakable manner , that it is utterly impossible for yoa ever to join any movement bat the one that is calculated to secure yoa these just rights which Save been too long withheld from you , and which will

      never be conceded until we are thoroughly united in one firm bond of brotherhood . The West Riding of Yorkshire has ere now been particilarly distinguished , in more ways than one , for its firm adherence to those great principles of universal justice , the attainment of which is not far distant , if we have the manliness to demand them . Tour privations and wretched abodes are not less numerous or severe than they were formerly . You are still governed by the same cruel and oppressive laws . Yoa were no more at the will' of a capricious employer then than now . Then you heard your children ' s cry for food , and had none to give them ; and now , many are the scanty oneals while performing a hard day ' s work , you have with painful anxiety to sit down to . Do not forget this one single fact—it of itself is surely enough to arouse you to action . The heartless Whigs are in power—that liberal despotic faction—who first perse

      cuted oar leaders , and then tried trickery and sophistry , to divert ns from the prosecution of our rights ; and failing in both , as a last resource to defeat our object , offered to form a coalition ministry for the vain purpose of saving themselves from utter annihilation . Ton cannot be blind to these things . Look at Halifax , where tha Chancellor of the Exchequer was forced to resort to the temporary expedient of uniting with a Tory for the purpose of escaping the evident and immediate destruction invincible Chartism had prepared for him . Everywhere Whig and Tory are amalgamating—a proof of the advance our principles are making . Renewed efforts . at present , are especially called for . Toremain aloof or apathetic just now , is to create yourselves a dog to the energies ef those who feel themselves bound thus to address you . United we stand—divided we fall 1

      To The Members Of The National Land Comp...

      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . Fribkds , —A poor , honest , and respected officer of our Company has been ruthlessly slain in open day in thepublic streets ef Sleatord ! The assassin is an officer of the peace , a protector of life and property , a superintendent of police . As you must , ere new , be aware , an investigation into the circumstances if Dodson's death , has taken place before a coroaar ' s jury , and in direct opposition to the testimony of every witness examined , a verdict ef excusable homicide was returned !! The members oftbe Land Company , resident in Sleaford , disgusted at thegress partiality of this verdict , resolved to bring the case for a hearing before tbe magistrates of that town . They applied to ns to aid them in their laudable endeavours to obtain justice . Mr E . Jones , hearing of

      their anxiety npon this melancholy subject , generously volunteered his professional services . We senthim down to Sleaford . The hearing came on , and , notwithstanding that twenty-eight witnesses , some of them reluctant ones , proved that an innocent man was brutally slaughtered by an infuriate , drunken official ; the magistrates , in the fullness of their wisdom , dismissed the case ! 2 and Sharps , the slayer , emboldened by impunity , is let loose on society agaia to follow the predilection of his murderous nature . Gentlemen , this case must not rest here . To treat It with negligence , would be criminal . It is a grave , a most important case . The just administration of the law , the freedom of the subject , aud the sacred ness of humanlife , are in it involved .

      Gentlemen , advised by Mr Jones , we have resolved to bring the case of poor Dodson before a judge at the next assizes . We wish it to be understood , that we are actuated by no feeling of revenge towards Sharps , but we think that justice , and the safety of society , imperatively demand the infliction of a severe penalty ( not the gallows ) upon the destroyer of human life . To enable us to bring the ease before the assizes , some thirty or forty pounds will be needed ; we , therefore , call upon each branch of the Laud Company to contribute its mite , and thus empower the hand of justice to chastise the outrager of the most

      sacred laws of civilised society . Poor Dodson ' s death hosdeprived a wife and family of their natural protector . We propose that the surplus above the legal expenses shall be handed over to the widow . We feel that we have now said enough upon this painful subject . Let the subscriptions be commenced in each branch , and sent forthwith to the Land Office . No time must be lost , and let every contributor console himself with tho reflection that he is casting his mite into s fond designed to forward the cause of justice , and to pour the balm of comfort on the lacerated hearts of the widow and orphans of a murdered friend .

      Chbistombb DortB , Philip M'Gbath , Thomas Cube , Corresponding Secretary . Slbaiobd , Saw . 1 , 1847 . — To the Editor of the Northern Star . —Sin , —The letter which appeared in the Stab of last week , from Boston , announcing that tha members of the Land Company there had com menced a subscription for the purpose of seeing justice done to the widow of the late William Dodson , was read at the meeting of the Land Company at Sleaford , and gave very great satisfaction . We think they have set a noble example , and hope it will be followed by others , who can lend a helping hand . The members of the Sleaford branch passed a rote of thanks to their Boston friends . Sir , it is our wish , through the columns of your journal , to express our

      grateful and heartfelt thanks for the handsome manner in which you have taken up the cause of our late much respected secretary . We also beg toreturn our sincere thanks to the directors , for interesting themselves ia sending Mr Ernest Jones to conduct the case , which he has nobly done , and that gratuitously—for which we retire Mr Jones our sincere thanks , hoping he will persevere in the cause , and bring the man to justice , for the crime he is guilty of . The Sleaford men have done much to bring the case to its present bearing , and they are determined nsverto rest satisfied , until they obtain justice . They hope they will be supported . One

      penny f rem eaoh of the Land members , would realise considerably above £ 100 . The Sleaford men have already subscribed £ 12 , and are making still further subscriptions . Sir , we also wish to return our sincere thanks to Mr Jones for his speech , which he delivered after the decision , in the Market-place ; that speech , which did notlast an hour , has aroused hundreds from their apathy , and caused an inquiry into the Charter and Land Plan , that would astonish you . We have enrolled thirty new members , and many more are about to join . —Yours , in the cause of Human Redemption , Ths Mkhbers of the Sues .-70 b » Bkabch .

      To The Members Of The National Land Comp...

      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . Friends , —The propriety of establishing a National Rcnefit Society has been frequently urged upon our attention , and a strong desire expressed that we should originate one , in order to afford those of our friends who have a desire ot an opportunity of joining an institution under the auspices of the movement party , and established for the purpose of aiding the onward , march of Democracy . With the desire of our friends we cordially sympathise , and were it not that our time ia fully aud completely occupied in attending to our present engagements , we would feel great pleasure in complying with their wishes . We

      have long been of opinion that the cause of the people would be much served byithe establishment of such an association . _ At present there are thousands who join other societies , who weuld prefer becoming members of one composed of persons whose opinions harmonise with their own , and whose funds , instead of being placed at the disposal of their enemies , wonld be applied to benefit themselves , and the cause which they have at heart ; We must , however , decline entering upon the organisation of such a body , but , at the same time , would recommend all who feel interested in the matter , to join the NATIONAL CO-OPERATIVE BENEFIT

      SOCIETY , which has boon some time in existence , and which was established for the purposes above enumerated . 1 he actual management of it devolves upon its ihdefati & Me founder . Mr Edm ^ d Staiwood , a man in whose honour and probity , we have the greatest reliance—so much confidence do we repose in him , that we have consented to become the directors of the society—Mr Stallwood undertaking to do the workofsecretary . ourpartpf the business beine to

      make a periodical examination of the accounts , and other monetary transaction , which all parties may rely upon being done by ns . The chief recommendations of this society are , that the subscriptions are liberal ; it agovernment democratic , audits funds will be deposited in the National Laud and Labour Bank . ; We sincerely recommend this society to the consideration of our friends . All communications on the subject to . be addressed to the secretary , Mr Edmund Stallwood , 2 , Little Vale-place , Hammersmith , London . Ghrkiophkb Dovts , Thomas Clark , Philip M'Grath .

      THE CHARTIST LAND ^^ SETTLEMENTS . We copy from the London * Journals the account of the rejoicings that took place on Monday tbw week connected with the allocation of forty-five cottages , with their accompanying allotments of land , in Gloucestershire , by the Chartist Land Company . We have again most earnestly to direct the attention ot bur readers to tbe consideration of this plan for the renovation of British society , and the elevation of the condition of the operatives . Eighty allotments ,

      © fa sufficient quantity ef ground for the comfortable maintenanceofafaraily . withanimproveddeseription of dwellings along with them ; have new beenjprovided in little more than a year by the association referred to ; and if so much good has been effected in so short a time , and with so limited a portion of society taking an interest in the undertaking , how much more good might there not be effected if such a scheme was . generally supported , and if a few years perseverance Were realised for the fulfilment of so desirable an object . t

      The writer of the report , in the SiWa , from which we copy , expresses bis doubt of tbe capability of the settlers to pay a rent amounting to five per cent , on the outlay on their settlements , and also his fears of agricultural productions effected by spade labour competing with the plough . With proper industry on the part of the settlers we have no doubt whatever en this subject . The cottages , which we described as we found them at flerringsgate , are , as we formerly noted , of three apartments each , substantially finished . This is a description of dwelling quite unknown to the ordinary run of workmen , but just such

      dwellings as no family should be without . F-r such a house , and for tm acres of land besides , in a highly productivecondition , the whole rent exacted is between six and seven pounds per annum ; and if the occupants , with ordinary health , be not able to pay that rent , we should like to know how they are ex pected to pay a higher rent for a far inferior sort of dwelling , as they now do ? In addition to this / although the land is laid off in patches of from two to four acres in the Chartist settlement for every resident , it does not follow that it must be cultivated by the spade and manual labour , when the plough and horse-power can be applied more profitably , as it will ¦

      in most cases be . - ' ' \ - ¦' .. ' It is one oftbe advantages in the allotments oftbe Land Company at Herringsgate , that they ate so laid off , that one ; two , three , or any number of them , may be cultivated at tbe same time by the plough and horse-power . The exploded plan of numerousfences , with their cost , their waste of ground ; and their bar bourof vermin—which has been found injurious , and which is new abandoned on the bestcultivated estates -has also been laid aside by the Land Company . And thus when the settlers can find more ^ ren table employment than the spade , which will often be the case , they have nothing to do but hire in the plough and the harrow for the cultivation of their ground . When they cannot find better employment , there » them

      bo question whatever , if they choose to exert - selves , but by reservin g as they do , the profits of the landowner and the farmer , they will never be at a loss to realise a far better income than can be [ obtained at the hand loom and similar ill requited descriptions of manufacture , which have been encroached on by machinery , and which , from the low paid and uncertain nature of the employment , sink those who follow them in penury and wretchedness , "What we principally advert to this subject for , in the meantime , however , is to urge once more the necessity of a more extended scheme of cottage settlements than can be carried out by individual exertion . The experiments made by Mr O'Connor and those associated With him , prove beyond question

      how easily a surplus , partially employed , and ill remunerated population , may be settled in their native country , even under the monopoly price at which impolitic laws mairtain the price of land .- If tho entail laws were abolished , and if the many million acres of rich uncultivated land which lie idle in onr native country , were also taken possession of , as they should be at their present value , and placed at the disposal of the labouring population , tbat cannot obtain employment otherwise , the State , although it were not to advance a farthing for the furtherance of the object , would be grealy benefitted by tho change The population that is at present kept partially idle , unable to support itself , and rather a burden than a benefit to the nation , would , by that means , be put

      in constant profitable employment . If the settlers were hand-loom weavers , or any other description of workmen that could not obtain labour the whole year round , whenever they were idle , they would employ themselves on their land , to equal advantage as at their trade . Every spadeful of earth which they tunwd up—every atone which they lifted—and every drain which they cut , would improve their greund , and leave them so much richer than they were—so much more able to supply their wants with food and clothing—and ao much more able to contribute to the wealth of all around them and to tbe wealth and healthy action of the State . We appreciate to the fullest extent the excellent example set , and the benefits likely to bo conferred

      by the Chartist Land Company , but under present circumstances their exertions are paralysed for want of legislative assistance ; What is wanted is a national scheme for the renovation ef the population in our over-crowded towns . Tbe formation of settlements in proper localities for carrying on manufactures in the various handicrafts , combined with agriculture , would be a ready means of doing this . In illustration of our views on this subject , we may state that the members of the National Land Company are for the most part composed of manufacturing workmen ; Ths poverty of the members , and the high price of land , prevents them from forming their settlements within such a distance of the seats of manufacture , as can enable them with advantage to

      apply the skill which they possess to partial employment at their trade , and thus they are placed ac an unnecessary disadvantage for the means of paying their rent , and obtaining all that variety of the necessaries and comforts of life , which they cannot produce on their own land . By the improvement which we contend for , by the placing of the settlers within a reasonable distance of those manufacturing towns whore their labour is in demand , the whole able bodied population in the country might he profitably employed the year round . During the periodically dnll seasons that prevail in every department of manufactures almost , their land would

      be ready for their labour , and always yield a return for the trouble bestowed on it . The labour market would also be relieved by this means . The destitution would not thenexiat which compels the workman totakeemploymeatatany . price . thathe may preserve his existence and tbat of his family . Wages would be more steady , and manufactures more profitable to both master and man than they are : while , as we have formerly stated , the government itself and all under it would be benefitted by a change , which would transfer millions from aclass of partial pauperism into what they should be , aud what they easily might be , the best remunerated and the most comfortable population on the globe . —Glasgow Post .

      per busheL Livbbpooi , Monday , Sep , 6 . —The arrivals of forei gn grain and flour continue on a larfre scale . With broken , weather and an increased demand for bread . stuf & from the interior , prices of wheatand flour have been well sustained throughout tbe week . In several instances , a small advance on both articles has been made . Western Canal flour has brought 25 s 6 d to 26 s per barrel . Indian corn and corn meal have both found pretty ready sale for Ireland and for feeding purposes in this country , at mil prices . Oats have yielded 2 d to 3 d per bushel . Barley , beans , and pease hare commanded last week's rates , but they move off slowly .

      CATTLE , Ac . Sjcitiuibld , Sept . 6 . —The following arrivals of foreigt stock took place in the port of London last week :-From Whence . Beasts . 6 hp . Lbs . Cal . Pigs , Roterdain 283 1 , 470 77 127 18 Hamburg 65 S 58 — 6 - Harlingen 23 t 634 43 78 1 » Total 580 2 , 362 120 211 23 At the various outports , the imports owing to the noo arrival ef several of the foreign steamers , have been hut moderate , vi « ., 2 , 231 head , in very middling condition ; yet the prices realised , have been tolerable remunerarha

      ones . The supply ef foreign stock on sale to-day was veryev tensive , viz ., about , 1 , 000 beasts , 3 , 209 sheep , 100 lambs , 190 calves and 12 pigs . Generally speaking the quality and condition of the beasts and sheep were by no me & ns good ; but in the lambs , calves , and pigs , the latter of which were of considerable weight , a decided improvement was noticed . Owing to the strong pales of wind which prevailed during a portion of last week , many of the Dutch steamers were a considerable time on their passage , and nearly 40 head of beasts and sheep were thrown overboard . A very inactive demand was expert , enced for the above stock , except for the best calves ,

      and in some instances the quotations had a downward tendency . For the time of year the supply of beasts on show was unusually extensive , there being about 1 , 00 b head more hi the market than at the corresponding day last year . Stiu , hewever , as the quality of most of the droves-arising chiefly from the shortness of keep in the pastures—was , comparatively speaking , inferior , the primest beef moved off steadily at prices about equal to those obtained ee Monday last ; but the middling and inferior kinds-ei which a clearance was not effected—had a downward tendency . A large number of the beasts came to hani from Barnetfair . which closed somewhat heavilv .

      From the northern grazing districts we received about 2 , 000 short-horns ; from the eastern , western , and midland counties , 600 Hereford ? , runts , Devons , and shorthorns ; frem other parts of England , 500 of various breeds ; aad from Scotland , 120 homed and polled Scots . The numbers of sheep were again considerably on ths Increase , but of very middling quality . The primest old downs moved off steadUy , at fully last week ' s quotations , Otherwise the demand was by no means active , yet prices were mostly supported . With lambs we were again well supplied . All breed * met a very inactive trade , and in some cases the quota , tions declined 2 d per 8 lbs . Although the supply of calves was good , the vealtradw was steady , at late rates , prime small calves producing 5 s per a lbs . In pigs , the numbers of which were good , only a mod * rate business was transactedatour quotations .

      Thb Mormos SamBMBNTs at Nauvoo . ~ The history of this singular sect is one of the most curious chapters in modern story . Only a year or two ago this superb city contained 25 , 000 inhabitants : Hi position is exceedingly fine and healthy . In its palmy days every house was surrounded by a large garden , which gave the limits of the city a magnificent circuit . Now , all the fences are broken down . The spirit of intolerance has done its deadly work , The bands of fanatical , no doubt / but yet sincere , worshippers are dispersed or destroyed . About five hundred spirit-broken creatures still wander like gnosis about the streets and squares of their ' holy city , ' unable to live in aud yet loth to leave it . The

      proud ^ temple—commenced only in ISil—st & nii there in the midst of a city already in ruins , andsarrounded by an almost interminable wi / dernesi . Thin magnificent structure , which was designed by a Mormon architect , and built by Mormon workmen , at an estimated cost of 800 , 000 dollars , is one of the finest buildings in the New World . It is now on sale , andioffered for 200 , 000 dollars . - The devotees sti « continue to depart : the plaee will soon bo entirely deserted . The fugitives mostly take the route of the wilderness , and the Rooky Mountains towards California ; and the latest account of their movements received in Europe was to the effect that they has taken possession of a portion of that territory , wjj the ultimate intention of founding anew and independent state .
