      THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . Konc Subscbtbers . —Having been congjjted upon the legality and propriety of continuing ge distinction as to sections amongst the present sod fcture subscribers to the National Land Comply , I beg to say that neither the act of the 7 th j £ a 8 th "Vict cap . 110 , for registering and regulating Joint Stock Companies , nor the deed of settlement of this company , which , has been prepared and settled by counsel in accordant :: with the provisions « f that act , does recognise or allow of any such

      disfaction , hut requires that aU the subscribers should be considered as one body having equal rights and liabilities , if any , in proportion tothe number of shares held by each , and the amount paid up in respect of such shires . That the division into sections is therefore contrary to the Act qfParlia stent , and the company ' s deed of settlement , aud should he immediately aMished . W . PBoymuc Roberts , ( Sol tothe Company , ) Per G . W . Chinkky .

      It will he seen from the above notice that lhe division of the Company into sections is not in accordance with law , and must therefore be immediately abandoned . The pre ? sent five sections will ; consequently / be amalgamated , and the Company will henceforth exist as one body . In consequence of this alteration ia . the Company ' s , proceedings , branch Secretaries , will please to . observe that all future remittances of money must be set forth under the following heads , and in the following order : — ¦ ¦ * ¦ « . « . Land Money ' ... — ... Expense Fond ... ... .... jaUicS •«» *•• - * # J . Oh & i ••» *•• J 5 Individuals belonging to the Office List , in remitting their money , must specify the sections to which they belong , as such information will be necessary , as a guide or key to the Office hooks . Branch Secretaries requiring Rules are requested to make application for them , as the Directors have a large quantity on hand , to supply parties requiring them . By Order of the Board of Directors , Thomas Clark , Corresponding Secretary .

      IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . ( Cntmed fnm the eighth page . ) prepared him with a long exhortation , which the nigger considered as an additional punishment , and exclaimed , 'Massa , if yoo flogeee , floggee , and if preacnee , preaenee , imt'do not floggee and preachee too . * ( Great laughter . ) Now . aohoaaidto the honourable gentleman , but the honourable gentleman appears to think that the question of " coercion is the question tinder discussion , being ignorant of the iaet . that the present" debate ' was upon his ( Mr O'Connor ' s ) motion'for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the ^ propriety of continuing ordigsolting the LegialatiTe . nnion . ( Hearhear . )

      - , Heanpported this motion upon the highest principle ? , npon the pmciple of subjecting those who , from ownership of the soil , ' were bound to perform their natural ditties to their natural' clients ; to the vigilant popular control ef those upon whose industry theylired . ( Hear . ) Precisely as the English gentlemen , sitting in thishouae , were justly aad properly subjected to tke juatcontroloi those who were their natural clients ; and again he contebded . that the refusal of a committee' would convince the Irish people that there were dark circumstances connected with this question , which would not bear tho Light ( Hear . ) Upon the other hand , let the committee be granted , and if valid objections against the repeal could beurged in that committee , ^ twould go farther

      to suppress the demand than all the ' vitnperation poured but npon'the Irish people ; and iheir priesthoed . T ( Hear , hear . ) And when the charge of obstruction was urged against the Irish party with whom he had now the honour to act , and between whoa and himself every recollection of difference had been sacrificed upon their , country ' s altar ; while these objections were constantly urged , let it not be forgotten , that every form of obstruction allowed by the forms of the house was legitimately resorted to by gentlemen on this side , ' and gentlemen on that aide , for the mere and creditable purpose ef obstruction and delay . ( Hear , hear . ) Before sitting down he would remind the house of a memorable saying , from one who knew Ireland and her history

      wellthat two million Irish slaves would met Britain ' s chains . Last year they had two million six hundred thousand starring slaves ; this year promised them a more abundant crop , and therefore he would remind the English landlords , if resdved , ! upon the pride ' of conquest , to resist this inquiry—to be prepared for the contingentfor a heavy draw upon their xeseurces . A word and he had dose . His honourable friend , the member for Cork , who has so boldly stood the battle and the breeze , bad not yet learned to estimate a parliamentary atmosphere , for , if he had been in that houseSdnringthesesBionsof 1833 , ' 34 , and' 35 , hewould

      have considered the interruptions of this night as the stillness ofthe grave . ( Great laughter . ) And although ha ( Mr O'Connor ) had again to express his thanks to the house for ita more than indulgence , daring his advocacy of an unpopular measure , while the more popular one of coercion was thereby placed in abeyance ; he must again repeat his astonishment , if after the meagre reply on behalf ofthe Crown and its adherents . Ma preposition for a mere inquiry was rejected ; however , let its fate be what it would , he was determined to divide the house , that the Irish people may be able to distinguish between their friends and their enemies . ( Cheers from the Irish members . )

      Major BlUC £ 4 li , in explausboa , begged to « sy , id reference to the observations ofthe honourable member ( Mr P . O'Connor ) , that he had been seat Into that house unfettered on this or any other question .

The rise , progress , and future prospects ofthe National Land Company . * ; At half-past seven o ' clock , Mr Porter , local preacher , was called to the chair . Mr Sidaway was received with cheers ; He said nothing pleased him more than to look around that room , and see so many faces he had seenat his last appearance in Gosport . He bad then told them that the land was the remedy for existing evils . Mighty changes had taken place in thejcommercial world , since he . waslast iu that room . Tbe breaking of banks had been a daily occurrence . Public works had been suspended , but the operations

      ofthe National Land Company had progressed . A great amount ofcapital had been added to their funds , a large estate , had been purchased , . and 100 families . had been drawn from the . slave . market . Mr Sidaway then narrated the commencement ot the company in 1845 . Showed the opposition it received from Lloyd ' s trash .

He nextshowed how the Company had progressed in all parls ,, of . . England , Scotland , Ireland , aad France . - Mr Sidaway then entered into the banking question , showing what an excellent opportunity it was for men of cash and benefit societies to invest their property , where land was the security , not

      promises to' pay . The National Land and Labour Bank could ; pay this moment 21 s . for erery pound sterling received ., Why . ? . Because the cash was invested not in . gambling speculations , but buildings and Land .

      lecturer , that the Land Plan was the only , sure means of obtaining the Charter . He denied this . The Land Plan had hot superseded the agitation for tha Charter ? fie was not a member of the Land Company , and all the eloquence and talent oi the lecturer would not persuade him to be one . The land was the people ' s , and theyhadjarighttoit . without purchasing it from those who had stolen it from the people . The Land Plan had done no good for the Charter . He condemned the conduct of the Land lecturers , they were employing their talents in explaining the Land Joint Stock Company , at the same time neglecting the Charter . Mr Sidaway rose to reply . —flecontended the Land Plan had kept the Charter alive .

      The Chartist excheqser was empty prior to tbe / fommencement of the Land Company . He was . as well aware ashis opponent , that the Land was the people ' s , aud that theNorman thief had stolen it some centuries since , but did that satisfy the present generation fa turningland robbers ?—he contended it did hot . His opponent bad said that the last two and a-faalf years hadbeenlost . He asked his opponent whether the return of the founder 0 ! the Chartist movement to Parliament by the Land men of Nottingham , proved tbe loss of two and a-half years 1 He contended that the possession of theLand would make a sufficient number of independent votes toreturn members pledged to tho Charter .

      they would soon show what could be done atthe poll for Chartism ; MrSidaway * i « umed " hisseat amidst applause ; - Mr Strond , of Portsea , was ef Mr Sidaway ' s opinion , much had been done by the Land Company to spread Chartism . The chairman said he knew nothing of the * Charter prior to becoming a member of the Land Company ; he was now a Chartist , thanks to Mr Douglass , thw r secretary . Mr Westlake was ignorant of Chartism till he was a member ofthe Gosport Land Company ; he was now a decided Chartist , and he believed thousands were like him , converted through the Land agents and

      tortures . Mr John Douglass was surprised at Mr Malcolm ' s conduct , there was scarcoa Land member but was new a Chartist . It was false ' that they had g , Ten up the Charter . He held in his hand a letter from the Chartist Executive , acknowledging 6 s . from the Gosport branch , for the agitation ofthe bnartist principles . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Malcolm made another attempt ,, uaing his former arguments . Mr btdaway replied to bis mis-assertions . After a few remarks from thechairman ; and an unanimous vote of thanks to Mr Sidaway arid the chairman ; the meeting separated at a late hour .

      _ MKWJ £ ST'S TOUR IN DEVONSHIRE . In my last I promised an account of an interesting diBCUssien I held in Torquay ; with ' Mr Vivian ; a banket ' andresident magistrate )' but > circumstances prevent me from doingmore than briefly glancing over it . On my arrival in Tbrquay ; the ; friends im formed me that Mr Viyian was a . bitter ( Opponent of Chartism aud the Land Plan , and that Imust be prepared for opposition . They were determined to do their part , and nobly did they perform it : ¦¦ The room where ¦ -the meeting was held was " alarge-cement manufactory . belonging to Messrs Webber and 'Hall ; The'lads of Torquay , had it splendidl y decorated with laurels and evergreens , and mottoes of the Six Points ofthe Charter , * Frost , Williams . and'Jniipi '

      • The Charter and No Surrender . ' Ac . rwhilst atthe entrance to the place of meeting' ! there' - was '• a large flag , hoisted mast high , bearing ' thb ' 'inaoriptibn ' National Land Company ; ' -In the evening a : splendid band paraded the street ? , to the . evident dismay and chagrin of the aristocratic residents , who resort to this " genial climate to ' escape th & risour of the winter . ' - - -At Bight , the large , robin , capable ofholding 1 , 000 personsV was filled'to aaffooatiOn . ' ' Mr Prowse ; an extensive brewer ; was ealled to the chair . ' . ' Asl had to lecture two nigh ta , the- first' subject ; was the Charter . In the middle of ray discourse , up rose Mr Vivian , and asked whether they we >' e to have a lecture or a discussion , as be did not wish mo to speak as long as I had done in other-places ? He was then

      proceeding ; to make -a-speech ; when he was stopped by the . chairman , iwhnsaid ' it wasoontraryto allrule , to proceed in such a manner , that I should be a Jowei ( to finish my lecture , nnd ; then any person would , beat liberty to make what remarks he thought proper ' . Mr Vivian repJied , if-I would ' conclude by'ifine o ' clock , he would discuss thrmatter ' -with ' roe . < 'l immediately agreed to forego my fectur *? and atonce commence the . discussion .,- Seeing ; my ( readiness ito meet him , he . thought to skulk ,, out ,. by-, saying he would hot discuss the Six Points , which was the mere machinery of government , but he weuld disenss the substantialmea 8 ureB which the Chartists wereViii . olinedto carry out , ' 1 replied ; that his ? refusal to dispute the justice of the Charter , was proof that he

      could not successfully do so , but rather than he should run away , I would meet him on his own terms , and named haphazard , the necessity for a separation of Church . and State , an equitable adjustment of the debt , an alteration in the Currency laws , justice to Ireland , the new Poor Law , and others . By theories of the meeting , he was compelled to come upon the platform , when it was arranged we should . have ten minutes each to speak . The discussion lasted upwaids of two hours , and never did I enjoy such pleasure in my life as following this Whig through his tortuous windings , and exposing his canting fallacies .

      He thought to excite the prejudices of the people by sneering at me for being an Irishman , and telling me I had enough to do in my own country without coming there , but I administered to him a . castigation that he won't forget in a hurry . The enthusiasm . of the meeting knew no bounds , indeed , the Wzstkrn Timbs , a bitter enemy , was forced to acknowledge that nine-tenths of the meeting were in my favour . The good that this discussion has . done has yet to be estimated . There is only one thing I regret , the pressure at the doer was so great that one ofthe forms gave way , and a young man had his leg broken .

      On Tuesday , I proceeded to Totness , and had a fine meeting iu the Guildhall , but no opposition . Brother Tanner moved a vote of confidence in Mr O'Connor , which was seconded by Mr Mitchell j and carried unanimously ., Mr Tanner ' s speech , as secretary , was most appropriate and telling . . On Wednesday £ returned to Torquay , and learned that the ' respectables' ( bless the mark !) had been to Mr Hall ' s , to induce him to refuse me , the use ofthe room . His reply was—Inever heard Chartism before ; but ifthatbe Chartism , if I had a church , they should have it . At night , there . were hundreds round ' the doors before they were . opened , and I had great difficulty to obtain admittance . The place was even more crowded than before . Mr Proflse again took

      the chair . The lecture was on the 'Land . Plan , ' which I fully entered into for upwards of two hours ; and though . Mr .- Vivian , is a great opponent of the Land Plan , and in addition to being a banker and magistrate , is also a cowkeeper and milksellertothe aristocracy ofthe place , yet he did not make his appearance , wisely concluding that ' discretion is the better part of valour . ' And here let me pay a just tribute to the brave men of Torquay . They are sober , thoughtful , and determined , and fully equal to the best Chartists , I have , metin any district of Yorkshire or Lancashire ; though they have the company of no less than three hundred and seyenty-eight parsons , ' and surrounded by the aristocracy , thiy are free from priestcraft , and thoroughl y independent . On Thursday , I went to Brixham , where , they had

      engaged the market rooms , and published bills , but the town ' s commissioners had a . quarterly feed atthe Bolton Hotel , and after , stuffing themselves with wine at the people ' s expense , they magnanimously resolved that I should not have the rooms ; they sent for the man who . kept , the keys , and also the bellman , and ; made them , both drcnk , and it wanted but an hour of the time of the ' meeting , when we were made acquainted with their determination . A deputation then waited ' on them , but to no purpose . They would not allow Chartism to be introduced into Brixham . It was . useless- to ar ^ ue with drunken fools , and unfortunately . it was toa late to get another place . The exasperation . of the people at the disappointment knew no bounds , but I promised them I would pay them a visit on iny return , when I warn the commissioners to look out for squalls . " ¦""'

      On Monday , I lectured in Plymouth , in the Mechanics ' Institute , the place being well filled , the subject being the , ' People ' s Charter . ' My remarks on the * Deli' and the ; . * Funding System , ' being hew in this part of the country , caused some opposition , which enabled me to ' lay before them some valuable information . Some questions , also , on Free-trade , enabled me to . lay bare that precious humbug . On Tuesday , T lectured in the same place , on the ' Land Plan , ' to a crowded meeting . I spoke above two hours . At tho close , several questions were asked , which I answered , evidently to the satisfaction ' of the meeting . On Wednesday , I lectured in

      Devonport , in the auction mart , on the 'Land Plan , ' and on Thursday , in the Temperance , % ll ; on A ^ pharter . ' Both meetings ' were well' attended . On , Today , I attended " a public meeting ih the Mechanics Institution , PlymoiithV ' to petition ' against the ' Coer-: cion Bill ; Mr Petriein the chair ; ' Mr ( Robertson made a most excellent speebh , as-: did also' Messrs Treman and Rogers .., A very , good " petition . was adopted with only one disaentient ., I hav , e thus given a brief account of rny forthighVs la'bbursin'thia interestine county , ' which has been ' too'long tibglected .

The secretaryalso ' stated that some of tho member * ofthe other branch bad made application to him to know if they would be allowed to pay their money into the Assistance Fond ? but , as he did not wish ; to . give , any . offence to any officer or member , belonging to the other branch , . he thought it would bebest . to send ' a hote , recbmmcnding them to adopt a fund for the ' same purpose , but should they not agree to establish such a fund , he would movs ^ - * That as many of their members as thought proper to pay . into this fund , should beadmitted by eonfonnis / f to the rules of tbis branch .
