My Fb 1 E >' » , /• ; ^ been a busy week with me and I inr oceed to detailmy labours as briefly as ? -h \ e On Monday morning I started for ^ * ' ter to convev your esteemed and Gl Wend , Mr Sharman Crawford , to ¦' < En <* U to witness the pleasurable spectacle £ ?? X tv families , heretofore slaves , and living ot el nae > round cellars , taking possession of l ' , rn castles and their own labour field ? . £ crood man was excited and deli ghted with t ' tlie saw , but as his constituents ofRoch * , * ffbo are the non-eleetors as well as elec-- will ask for the unadorned opinion of tors i
- ., j , . „ — , „_ *„ „„„ ** : : friend , and as he is not aman to exagge-Z 1 shall postpone any description of his f *)\ B < ji until I receive them through that witim ate channel . As I told ray audience , at s £ gge ] J ( and it was aiwmper ) , it is an extraor-L arv thing to find Mr Sharman Crawford , L of the largest landed proprietors in Ireland declaring in the House of Commons , that the cuhiy ' ator of the soil and the proprietor of L Soil are co-partners in the soil ; it was , upon that account , delightful tome to be able t » illustrate that grand principle to that good
« gd generous man . "Weilj my children , although this scheme is rienounced ' by the Press-gang and those whe live upon your sweat and blood , I had my ample reward for the abuse of such slaves in the gratitude I received from the occupants on Mon-( jsv . Delig ht is no term to describe their feeling—it was one of pride , . of independence , and th anksgiving . Allr- ^ staffigers , and
all—confissed that the eye had never beheld , such a sight , nor Has it : it drives me mail-to look upon it and to flunk of the impediments ' -that b are been throwa in my way in the prosecution of such a work . But I fell those tyrants , openly and advisedly ,, that though I will not march to batUeat the bidding of every enthusfest or braggart fool , tnat I will march to battle rather & aa allow my plan to be
frustrated byany qai tk ' w quibble with . which spe * eulatcrs in human sweat and their toSEs ^ Hfajr attemp t to frustrate it . The day was wet , for it poured showers of gold , and I was pleased to be wet to the skin , because it went to the roots of the seed , which will yield my children their harvest . The concourse was immense , and all was harmony . From Snig ' s End I went to Lowbands , accompanied by Mr Crawford and Mr Allsop ; in the midst of the pelting rain we walked through a majority of thelallotments , and those gentlemen declared that they never witnessed such a scene in their lives . Tell me that population presses hardly upon the means of subsistence , when this farm , upon which there were five acres of
tares and eight acres of turnips , when I took possession of it last year , has now forty acres of wheat and upwards , forty acres of potatoes and upwards , cabbages , peas , beans , parsnips , carrots , mangel wurtzel , and other things , as admitted by those gentlemen , superior—vastly superior—to anything that they had seen . And bs I have those witnesses now to call , they "sill confirm this fact , that Thomas Aclam , a four acre occupant , sold twenty-five poands ' worth of cabbages , planted in October , off less than half an acre of ground ; that they were all sold on the ground , mone taken to market ; that he has splendid potatoes now growing ¦ srhere those cabbages grew ; that there is not a weed upon his allotment , and that he declared he would not take 250 / . for his holding .
We had at dinner new potatoes , the finest I have seen this year , furnished from his allotment ; he has the best beans I have seen ; the finest turnips , and the most splendid lettuces . His garden is less than half an acre , and he assured us that he and his family , consisting of five , could not consume what it would produce . "What Free Trader , then , what friend of Emigration , will dare talk to me about population pressing too hardl y upon the means of subsistence ? But , if you doubt mv estimate of what may be done with
three acres of land , read the following table , giving an account of Mr Sillett ' s produce , and his profit , after the consumption of his family , from two acres of g round—always bearing in mind that he paid £ 125 an acre for his land , with the legal expenses , and £ 8 a-year for his house ; while the average rent of two acres in our Company , and a house , will not reach £ 10 a-year . He gave £ 125 an acre , because he bought in the retail market , while the land I have bought is better , and will not average £ 40 an acre . But every member should read this work of Sillett ' s . Here follows his table of profits , after support of family : — SOLD PRODUCE OF THE YEAR 18 i / . £ s . d .

GRAND CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION . PUBLIC ENTRY OF MR O'CONNOR INTO
SHEFFIELD . Tuesday was agrand day for Chartism in Sheffield . Early in the morning groups of men were seen in every part of the town preparing for the demonstration , and about one o'clock men , music , and banners began to muster in Barkers Pool . At half-past three the dense mass began to move in the following order : marshal on horseback , followed by a Vfiry handsome banner , brought out by the order of Rechabites band ; the members of the Land and Charter Association four abreast , closely followed by a full-length banner of T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P . ; a banner representing a large heaet , with the motto 1 aristocracy sucking the vitals of the people .
The next was a large black banner with the motto , ' John Mitchel , the first victim of the new Gagging Bill ; ' then followed the Irish Labourers Friendly Society , with two rich banners representing their respectbe orders , followed by the members ot their order ; next came the temperance band , ollowed by a beautiful carriage for the reception of Mr O'Connor , whick contained five members of the Town Council . A large silk banner with the following motto , ' The greatest happiness to the greatest number , { or the greatest length of time , ' Several carriages containing the members of the various committees . The procession moved slowly along Fargate , High-street , King-street , Haymarket , Waingate , and the Wicker , to the Station .
At about half-past two a signal was given of the arrival of the train containing onr chief , but to give a description of the enthusiasm of tbe wedged masses would be totally impossible , as the [ procession moved slowly along to the Cattle Market , where Mr O ' Connor briefly addressed the countless assembly , after which the procession separated . In the evening the soiree at the theatre was attended by upwards of 500 well dressed operatives and their wives . At half-past seven the doors were thrown open to the public , trhea the house was quickly crowded to suffocation , and hundreds who had come fourteen miles could not gain admission . On Mr O'Connor making his way to the platform the cheers were deafening . Mr Otley was called to the chair , and briefly opened the proceedings .
An address was read by Mr Councillor Ironsidj ; , expressive of approval of Mr O'Connor ' s conduct in his political proceedings , and in connexion with the National Land Company . Mr O'Connor responded at great length , expressing the pleasure be felt at the address . In France , they had been telling the labourer that he was entitled to honour and compensation , but had not told him how he was to get it ; but by his ( Mr O'Connor ' s ) plan the rich would become richer and the poor rich . It was heresy and blasphemy to eay that
the indus t rious people ot this country were to l ) C transported as surplus population to another couutry . The money hoarded in the Bank of Eng land was useless and unprofiiable . Place labour on the land ; it was Nature ' s pap , and was the only thing which could sustain and maintain them . The proud oak should be levelled—the fat war horse knocked oil —and an end [ ,. it to pleasure horses and dogs ; and then if the laud were too small , be would go abroad v . * vt ! v thera ( his auditors ) in search of another country . The Charter had been spat upon ; their fulllength portrait-, the little miniature he had carried

ate not willinsr slaves and murderers , if you longer tolerate this desecration of God ' s holy will and commandment , that man should live in the sweat of his brow . And , rest assured , my friends , that a community of Land members would very speedily lead to a wholesome system of representation , as Mrs Graham , an Irishwoman , and mother to one of my most industrious occupants , and a countywoman of ilrShaiman Crawford , told him on Monday , that she would fight at the door of her cottage with a poker , and against any odds , before she would give it up .
Now- you should see these people- You should see mv old g rey-headed children , that are happy ; and my youthful children , that are blooming , thankful , and merry ; and tlrfea you "would ask yourselves , how it is that the Pres * * nd the speculators denounce the project ? And here let me digress , to say a word to the Press-Gaufr . . To the Press , Gang * ;—' Come on ye cripples ! come on ye prostitutes , you ' villains , you p lunderers , you Murderer ' s »

brutes , of which the manager can say , there is between three and four thousand pounds over and above all the expenses of the Company , made by the industry of the propounded ever and above the capital of the Company ? No such item as sundries , no such item as expenses of the propounder ? No . you cannot . You know that the practice is to put forth fascinating prospectuses as advertisements , for which you are paid , and to write leading articles for which you are paid , that then the managers may make another call , that then the bubble bursts , the Comp any is declared insolvent , and the members are answerable to the creditors .
Savages ! you have attacked the Bank . Did you ever hear of any other bank relaxing its rules in favour of depositors ? Did you ever hear of another banker whose rules required notice of withdrawal , directing his manager to honour all drafts at sight while poverty continued ? Hirelings ! you talk of penalties and illegality . I stated , in the House of Commons , that it was the hampering of the law ' s technicalities
thai rendered it impossible for me to comply with the law ' s requirements ; and that it was therefore I sought the simple law to protect me against its complicated meshes . And as for penalties , for the . violation of the law ' s technicalities , I know 1 have incurred them ; but it is only I who have incurred them , not the members , as in other cases . I have incurred them to develops my ~ pls &; which the-faw would have frustrated , and , thank God ! I am able to pay them , without calling upon the
Company . You monsters ! you may harp upon the legal string and | penalties ! What can be done for the poor that is within the provisions of your laws ? but you shall make two questions , and the chairman of your committeeof whom 1 shall say nothing at present—shall divide the measure into two questions ; the one the legal question , and the other the honourable question . I confess to having violated the law , because it is impossible to serve the poor and compl y with its requisition ; but I throw down the gauntlet , and , as your friend , Sir Benjamin , said—I challenge the strictest and most searching inquiry into the application
of the funds ; and I pledge my honour as a gentleman that not a farthing has been speculated with—not a fraction has been abstracted trom its legitimate purpose . What do you say to that , you worse than prostitutes ? Did you ever hear of such a Company as that before , whose crime is that it courted no newspaper aid , and has not spent a guinea in advertising ? Revolutions are the fashion of the day . I hope we shall never have one in England ; but if tyranny drives the people to it , 1 hope your brothels will be the first victims . Adieu , you beasts . ' I defy you all , Your enemy , Feargus O'Connor .
JTow , my friends , I turn from the consideration of these ruffians—a notorious Sodomite is one of their principal contributars—and I return to my week's work . On Tuesday I arrived at Sheffield , and was met at the station by five of the Town Council—Mr Ironside , Mr Briggs , Dr Payne , Mr Wood , and Mr Wigfall , and we proceeded from thence to the Market-place , Paradisesquare not being large enough to hold onehalf of the assemblage , and all declared that they never saw such a procession in Sheffield before . As Mr Ironside truly said , in proposing Mr Ottley to the chair , " This is Sheffield ' s answer to Lord John and Mr Cobden . "
It was a magnificent sight . "We were surrounded by government spies and reporters ; and when the delighted workies asked me how many there were there , I replied ? " The Press will give you two hundred tmd thirty-seven ragamufliBs , seven women , and five boys . * .. In the evening , we had the theatre crowded with all classes . Mr Ottley was again in the chair , and opened the proceedings in a brilliant speech , when Mr Ironside moved the address , which you will find at foot ; and after which I spoke at considerable length upon the Labour question , and which , my friends assure me , gave universal satisfaction .
To-day ' s ( Thursday ) Times glances at the meeting in the evening , but says not a word about the procession , which would be a nail in the coffin of Whiggery . After the meeting in the theatre , though much exhausted and veryhoarse , I remained in the company of my children , delighted with their conversation , and enlightened by their information , till twelve o ' clock at night . On Wednesday I startedior Loughborough , and when I arrived at the station , to my surprise and horror , I saw the ground occupied bv dragoons , while the people upon the bridge
and in the neighbourhood , cheered as the train advanced . When I alighted , the first man who addressed me was a pohce official ; he said the magistrates wished to see me in the station room . 1 went there , and they announced that the meeting had been suppressed by proclamation ; that the troops were in possession of the ground where the meeting was to be held , and that they had orders to prohibit the procession and the meeting . I told them that as the proclamation was issued on Tuesday , it was their duty to have communicated the fact to me before my arrival , as they knew I was to be in Sheffield on the previous day ; but as it was
neither my policy , my desire , nor my wish , to brini ? the peop le into collision with the troops , that I would address the multitude assembled at the station and disperse them . To this proposition Mr Dawson objected , stating that it would appear like the delegation of the magistrates' power to me . I replied , that the magistrates' powers were physical , mine were moral ; and that if the people , under the false apprehension that I was in custody , from not seeing me , were led to an ouibreak , that then the responsibility would rest with the magistrates , and that I did not think that the fine-drawn distinctions of Mr Dawson would be a justification or
consolation for them if the misconception or refusal should be followed by the loss of life . We had a long consultation ; there were throe magistrates—two were with me , one was with Mr Dawson—the majority carried the day , SO I mounted a luggage stand at the station , and , though very hoarse , I addre & sed the multitude with the magistrates on the one side and the dragoons with their drawn swords on the other . When I appeared the cheering was tremendous and with one voice all cried out , "There ' s our father . " I said , " You call me your father and I look upon you as my children though you are said to be too numerous I cannot afford to lose one of you , nor could I rest in mv bed if any imprudence of mine was
the cause of diminishing my family by one . I came amongst you to-day to proclaim our principles , by those princip les I will stand in spite of all opposition , and , ere long , iwM come amongit vou again to proclaim the Charter as the triump h of those principles . ( Here a general cheer burst from the whole meeti , rr ) You know I am watched , you know how proud thev would be to take i « e from an-om-t you , but that they shall never do until I locate every man who is willing to live in the sweat of his brow in his own cast . a upon his own labour field . ( Loud cheers . ) Do you love me ? ( ' Yes , ves . *) Would you compromise
me' (' No , never . ' ) Would you mjttre our cau-e- ( 'No , no . ') Tlien will yon obey me ? ( ' Ye * , for ever /) Then let all , who think it is

wise to abstain from coming into collision with an armed force , hold up both hands . ( Here every hand in the meeting was held up . ) Now go home and baulk tyranny of its triumph , "and immediately the ground was cleared . Now , my friends , believe me , that those exhibitions evince our tyrants' weakness and our strength , while they but serve to wed me , and thousands of others , if possible , more closely to the cause . I know that the tyranny of our rulers and the masters , will once more drive us to our torch-light meetings , as the mind * of this country will not consent to he much longer pent up b y day , and thus debarred of its power of expression . But you have trusted me long , and the Whigs are anxiously
looking for my tumble into the pit-fall—but , rely upon it , that , as a live dog is better than a dead duke , I am determined to Jive * and worry them , until you have gained your rights . Neither taunt nor threat , scoff nor jeer , shall induce me to peril that cause which is nearest and dearest to my heart . I will save you from the vengeance of your enemies , and will save four friends from the penalty of that enthusiasm which , in these times , I rather approve than censure . For , believe me , my friends , that nothing , not even the shadow of justice , " to be achieved from our present rulers' love of justice . Your faithful and uncompromising Friend , FSARGUS O'COKNOR .

TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR ; ES " Q ., M : P . " ' Most Hohodhed ahd Estesued Sin , We , the inhabitants of Sheffield , are desirous on tha present festive occasion , of expressing onr sincere and deep . ielt Igratitode , and unfeigned esteem for joo " . who have laboured so long , ardently , and gratnUouBly for the interests and liberties of the people of this country . Ton have been the pilot who has steered the Chartist yessel in the midst of the dangers and storms , which have assailed it from all the quarter * of the political csmpass . And , sir , we are willing ettll to canfide . in you ; in your patriotism and unflinching fidelity aad perseverance . Your psrsecuters and slaadsrers have sought to ruin yon , and to destroy ourhopes bTTutare success : but
they have not , nor can they accomplish either the eoe or the other . You , sir , have laid aside caste , hare forsaken your own order , that you may become as one of labour ' s sons , that yon may raise them from the dust of the earth , who have been sunk ia poverty and wretchedness by the iron arm ef oppression ; who , sir , have been born into the world , merely to be consumed by unceasing toil to enrich and honour their oppressors . This is , on your part a generous , a noble undertaking , and we need not remind joa , that we wish you entire and complete success ; asuccesi that shall be equally gratifying and honourable to you , and shall give universal prosperity and contentment to the people .
What would your and our enemies" have you to do , to satisfy them , or to stand high in their favour , or to merit their unreserved approbation ? If you advise the people to keep the peace , you are charged by them with cowardice ; if jou were to ad-aae them to arm and offer physical force resistance to the authorities , yon would then be rash and dangerous , perhaps . branded by them as a traitor . If yoa are generous , yoa . " purchase popularity ; if you act independently you are pvoud and arragant ; if yoa assist the Tories , you are paid by them ; if you turn to the Whigs or Radicals , and offer them the right hand of friendship , you have betrayed the people ; if you do neither , jou are
cried up as a firebrand and disturber of the public peace . Why , sir , if yoa were to die of grief , because you cannot please these fastidious foes , or were to place yourself in the way of a bullet or bayonet , and thus sacrifice your life , in either case they would sing a song of triumph over your grave . But , sir , you will do neither—at least for their gratification ; but in the future , as in the past—they will have to fret , to threaten , to slander , and to prosecute ; whilst you . sir , will continue to sit in calmness and security , and smile at the vanity and futility of tbeir efforts ; rewarded , as you are , by the warmhearted gratitude andunabatingconfidence of the people .
There is , sir , another subject to which wa must allude , inasmuch as it has been the cause of our assembling together this eveaing ; this , sir , is ybtir gigantic efforts t > place the sons of labour upon their native soil , to make tbem freemen in a free country , not to live a * iserfsand toil for others , but in a state of independence to labour for themselves . Thus , your generous efforts open a bright prospect into the future . This , sir , is a new political science ( not political economy of the new school , which counts gold as drops of blood from the hearts of the people ) . Nature , sir , has been kind and liberal to man , but man has been unkind anl miserly to his fellow . You , sir , wish to restore man to Nature , as to a liberal and generous parent ; in this , sir , we again wish you complete success , aad a long and honoured life to witness and behold your numerous children on the land—independent , prosperous , peaceful , and happy .

under his coat fifteen years ago , his crippled bantling , they had laughed at him ; but now behold the master which on the 10 th of April frightened the islefron its propriety , and caused the Queen to take refuge in the Isle of Wight . ( . Cheers . ) Mr O'Connor attacked the ' Gagging Bill' of Lord John Russell , the very name of which was a violation of the constitution , and described the government as seeking protection under the petticoats of the' Queen . They had suborned a corrupt press , and were trying to destroy the French Republic . " Nothing had been obtained forth ? people by the Catholic Emancipation Bill , the Parliamentary Reform Bill , or by Free Trade , but the social plan he wished to nut them in
possession of would seek a good political system to defend it . Thomas Slingsby Duncombc , who would he in his place in the House of Commons that day week , was his leader , not Mr Hume , nor Mr Cobden . They must suppose they were to mount the ladder above him , he knew his position , and would make them know theirs . He would tell them that there was a still greater power than that which they might achieve for themselves , and that was by cooperating with the Irish people . After enlarging to some extent on this head Mr O'Connor gave a great variety of details connected with the National Land Company , which were received with much approbation The proceedings concluded at ten o ' clock .

Russell that they want , and are dotermined to have without mutilation , that for which the people of this country have been ao long contending , namely—the People's Charter . '—Mr Barber seconded the resolution , which was supported in an eloquent speech by Mr Kydd , who appeared very ill , and at the conclusion was quite exhausted . —Mr C , Roberts moved the next resolution aafollows : — ' That this meeting views with extreme disgust the late
proceedings of government relative to the case of John Mitchel , and the cowardly and unconstitutional means resorted to to procure the conviction of that noble of nature . This meeting also views with the utmost contempt the means employed for the suppression of public opinion in England and Ireland , and is determined to aid the people of Ireland in their just resolve to govern themfelvei '; inasmuch , as it is the tight of the people of every country . This meeting is determined to assist , by every roeaas In its power , all persons , either in England or Ireland , who have been or may be in the present struggle for liberty , prosecuted for political offences .
