      London , Friday Awning . glB _ Have the goodness to make room for these frw words : — I have been every day , and a portion of each night , since Friday last , engaged with the Accountant appointed to investigate my accounts , and only arrived in Town at a quarter past four this morning . Therefore , I have not been able to give my promised Letter , nor even to write a line . This morning the Accountant is to make his Report to the Committee , and next week it will be

      published . Your obedient Servant , Feargus O'Connor .

      TO THE CHARTISTS . " He who permits oppression snares tbe crime . " Brother Democrats , Accompanied by Messrs M'Crae and Kydd , I visited the families of Messrs Fussell , Sharp , and Williams , on Saturday last . I had previously , in the company of Mr Kydd , seen Mrs Jones . . My object in visiting the families of the victims was to ascertain the number and circumstances of each . Mrs Jones has three very young children , —fine-looking , intelligent boys .

      Mrs Fussell has seven children , —the oldest fourteen years of age , and the youngest about five months : two of these children earn a trifle , but not much more than keeps them in shoe leather . Mrs Sharp has two children ; unfortunately for her she is likely to he the mother of a third . Mrs Williams has six children—the oldest fourteen years of age , and the youngest four or five months . I have not yet seen Mrs Vernon nor Mrs

      Looney-In sentencing our unfortunate brothers , the Judge commented on the heinousness of the defendants neglecting their work to attend seditious meetings . I found on inquiry , that Mr Fussell had been short of work for two years previous to his arrest . Mr Sharp had been eleven weeks without employment , and Mr Williams had had no regular work for six months prior to his arrest . As maybe supposed , I found the families of Messrs Fussell , Sharp , 3 nd Williams iu a state of great distress ,

      You know , brothers , that the support of these families is a sacred duty , towards which every Chartist is bound to contribute according to his , means . It appears to me that Mrs Jones , as the wife of an active member of the Chartist Executive , is entitled to his salary . This should be an additional inducement to you to subscribe to the Liberty Fund . I understand that a small pittance has been paid weekly to the wives and families of Fussell and the other victims , but not at all adequate to meet their wants .

      When the sentences passed upon our vmtortunate brethren are taken into consideration , it can never be that the people will willingly add to the severity of their punishment by allowing their families to starve . The imprisoned martyrs are compelled to live on the prison fare , wear the prison dress , pick oakum , and submit to many other indignities . I am given to understand that they may be freed from the oakum-picking on paying a weekly fine of five shillings each . Surely so small a sum will be at once provided to relieve our friends from this miserable tail .

      I have purposely avoided making anything like a wordy appeal in behalf of our unfortunate brothers and their families . It appears to me that a simple statement of the facts should be , and I trust will be , quite sufficient to induce you to do your duty . The smallest trifle from each Chartist will deprive oppression of its sting , and alleviate sorrows which under the most favourable circumstances are hard to endure . - Fraternally yours , G . Julian HarnEy . Northern Star Office , July 20 th , 1848 .

      Meeting At. The Great Dodford Estate. On...

      MEETING AT . THE GREAT DODFORD ESTATE . On Sunday hsfc a very large meeting was held at the new estate o { the 'National Land Company . ' The leading Chartists of Birmingham , Bromsgrove , Worcester ' . Kidderminster , Stourbridge , Wolverhampton ., Dudley , Walsall , Bilston . Oldbury , Smethwick , y . nd Redditch , began to arrive about half-past ten , and at two o'clock ( when the meeting commenced ) , there could not have been less than 5 , 000 people assembled . Mr John Para , of Birmingham , v / as called to the chair , add introduced Mr Christopher Doyle , who said , that the fact of the people meetinc there in such numbers was a plain proof that they tsok an interest , not only in the progress

      of the Land Company , but also in Chartism . Some time ago he had the pleasure of being at another of the estates , and there he saw what he hoped soon to see throughout the whole kingdom—a people living hippy and contented on their own labour , and realising the fruits of their own industry . Whatever might be the result of the investigation at the hands of the committee of the House of Commons , he trusted that his hearers would be determined in their efforts to secure the ^ dependence of themselves and children , Mr Doyle concluded amidst applause . —Mr Cbs ^ ca , of Stourbridge , fallowed in a good , plain , and tailing speech . He did not come there to seekapiosecation at the hands of government . He had been already prosecuted nine

      times bat he came there to speak the truth ; and . although he was surrounded by disguised blue bottles , he trusted that he and all there would net be intimidated , and that , henceforth , they would organise for the obtainment of the People's Charter . —Mr George Mantle , of Birmiegbaa , said : Mr Chairman and friends—Before I proceed to address any remarks to this great audience , I have to request that the government employes Paee before and around me , and whose business here is to take cognizwee of oar proceedings , will do us the justice ana themselves the credit of taking down on paper the whole of what is said , rather * han trnst to their memories for garbled extracts calculated to lead to misfatements and false conclusions—by which , Mr

      Chairman , I mean , that whilst I have no objection to being reported , I have no desire to ba Ftuselled . I do confess that , in the whole of my career as an advocate of Chartism , I never met with so gratifying a sight as that which greets my eyes upon the present occasion . It is an achievement of no ordinary character to see men and women whose six days ' earniags will scarce cover their necessities—whose bodies are enfeebled by excess of toil—whose minds are depressed by long-continued and fagt increasing psrerty—tradging some ten or twenty miles , for the purpose of proving their devotion to the cause , and their determination to prepare for the ' good time coming . ' In the midst of our congratulations we must , however , stay one mement to glance at the

      present position and future prospects of the people of this country . Since the year 1 S 19 , the annual income or wages of the working ' classes of this country has decreased eighteen million pounds sterling . Look at that , ye starving offspring of a starved-outof-the-world father ! Hear that , you shoeless mothers , and eon over those few figures , and remember that this has bees sacrificed by you in taxes , in church rates , state subsidies , profits , and competition—a consf quence of your dependence on money , mosgera , landholders , and a hundred other traitors , great and small . Take , I say , these figures ; deduce from them those facts which will soon present themselves to an impartial and inquiring mind , and couole with them yonr own slavish position . The

      aristocracy will not assist you , because they well know they would then be superseded by an aristocracy of virtue . The M . P . ' b will not do it because they are thetoela of the aristocracy . The church will sot do it because every man would worship God after his own fashien . Who , then , shall do the great work ? The poor pauper and the starving artisan will do it when they are true to themselves . When working men are honest to theirplass , then will they carry the convictions of the heart into practice . This will be when you have learnt your own power , and have a true sense of yonr dignity . The streetsweepr is a man—a lord is no more—made of the self-same flesh—creatures of the self-same

      Godsubject to the same laws ef nature , and at the great day of reckoning will be judged , sot for their riches or poverty , but for their vices or virtues . Look at yon toiler ! He is away to the forest , and topples down the towering oak . He builds a ship , and launches it upon the bosom ef the mighty oceanunfurls his sails , and bands the winds of heaven to his stubborn will—adventures to the farthermost part of the globe , and returns , laden with treasures from the bowels of your mother earth . He dives into the bosom of tbe mighty ocean—brings up the treasures of the great deep , and applies them by his skill and industry to the purposes of the state—the increase of national wealth—the means of national

      happiness . Tet he who does all this—he , without whom society would become a chaos—is without the means to stay his hunger , or clothe his children . It is a sad and sickening sight , from which our souls recoi ! with horror and dismay . We look for succour , and are answered with a mocking taunt . Our leader ? spsak our feelings , and the strong arm of the law comes to the rescue of oppression . Onr Mitchels , our Frosts , our Joneses , and our FusscIIb , sre living examples of Whig mercy and love of justice . Mr Mantle concluded a brilliant and ssulstirring speech by calling for three cheers for Mitchel and the mar tyrsof 1 S 4 S . —Mr Philip M'Grath commenced by saying that never in his life had he listened to a speech which gave him bo much pleasure as that just delivered by his young friend—so replete withelo .

      quence and good sense . The present was the beginning of a great work , the end of which would be the location of every willing Englishman on the soil of his native land . The question has been asked , what is a Chartist ? It is a man who says that every Englishman twenty-one years of age , of sound mind , and untainted with crime , shall have a vote in the election of members of Parliament . After some other remarks , the speaker said that himself , Mr O'Connor , and Mr Doyle , had bees all day busily engaged in going through the accounts of the Company with a government accountant , sent down for that purpose , and he ( Mr M'Gratb ) was just informed that he was wanted . He hoped to meet them again in four months , when the estate would be finished fur the reception of the allottees . Mr Mr M'Grath retired amidst loud applause .

      In a few moments , Mr O'Connor was seen crossing the estate frem the farm-house . The enthusiasm was intense . Everybody rushed to gee their * Father , ' and when he mounted the van he was received with welcome and long-continued cheers . Mr O'Coskoe said : You see now what may be accomplished by the exertion of one man . If you will come here in four months , I will show you this uncultivated and neglected place drained and tilled , turf cut , burnt , and manured—divided into allotments ol two , three , and four acres , with houses built , and roads made—and all this accomplished , not by the aristocracy , by its government , or a committee of the House of Commons , but by Feargus O'Connor , aided by his children . Yon Ehall eee the

      weaver and the tailor here , taken from the noise and smoke of the town , working ten , twelve , or sixteen hours a day—not that a master may pocket the profits , but for his own benefit , and putting the proceeds of his overwork in bis pocket ; not compelled ts work in the workshops in the heat of a scorching day , but retiring when the sun is too hot into his gentry b 3 X , and returning , when it is cool , to hie labour . You will not want any Ten Hours Bill when yon are labouring for yourselves . It was when you were labouring for the profitmongcr that you wanted a Ten Hours Bill- And , notwithstanding the lying and slandering press , and the bullying ot the committee now sitting to determine whether your Company shall be legalised , I shall continue my

      exertions , till every man of you is located on his own labour held , sitting down in kis cottage , no man daring to make him afraid . After detailing at great length the proceedings before the committee , Mr O'Connor proceeded ; It ia for the want of a knowledge of my plan that France is now deluged with confusion . Ireland , too , ha ? no settled plan . She is occupied iu devising means to get released from her present rulers , but she has not thought absut tbe plan of social amelioration . Now , that the chief ot her leaders are taken away , I shall propound a plan by which the country may unite and organise more effectually than ever , and by which she may destroy the government . I have read the speeches deposed to by the witeesses on the trials of ear friends in

      London , and I declare to you that there is nothing in them offensive to the law , I ^ as examined by the Committee on the L md Plan . I told Mr llayter that be was a partisan and a mercenary , and he wanted to stop me . I told him I would cot be stopped by him , nor his master , the Prime Minister of England . Is not he a pretty man to be a chairman f A man who has been connected with more bubbles in Belgium , Holland , and London , than any man in England . And when Sir Benjamin Backbite talked about a strict and searching inquiry , 1 showed him a letter I got from Wales , asking fur a strict inquiry into hi * proceedings down there . If the men who have put their confidence in me , will only keep firs * we shall soon show what we can ac-

      complish by this plan of mine , and that will be more than all the laws of England could do . And I swear , so help me God , if I had £ 10 , 000 . 000 to-morrow , if I was aura never to get a farthing interest , I would'lay it all out in land , I w aa told when I was coming that there were a good many specials here- My answer was , I wish their master . Sir George Grey , and their mistress , the Queen , were here too . In conclusion , I tell Ru ? ell , I tell Sir George Grey , Mr llayter , and Sir Benjamin Backbite , that Feargus O'Connor is not to be deterred from his course by any of theifblackgusrdism . nor the calumnies of the lying press . Mr O'Connor retired amidst hearty cheers , and thus ended a glorious field day for Chartism in the district of Bromserove .

      THE CHARTIST PRISONERS . FissBtmr Locality July 16 th , Mr A . Fuzsen in the chair . Mr Allnutt reported from the Victim Committee . Mr Fennell moved , and Mr Marshall seconded , the adoption of the following petition : — * To the honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , in parliament assembled ; * The humble petition of the Finsbary locality ot the National Charter Association , in pnbli < s meeting assembled : ' Humbly showetb ,

      ' That your petitioners have heard with feeliogsof disgust and indignation that Messrs Fussell , Williams , Sharp , Vernon , and Ernest Jones , who were convicted at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court , of a misdemeanour , and sentenced to iraprisontnentfor two years and upwards , have , since their sentence been subjected to tbe meat brutal treatment on the part of the prison authorities ; that they have been denied tbe use of books , pens , ink , or paper ; that they have been compelled to wear the prison dress ; and that their hair has been ' ent in tbe game fashion as if they had been convicted of the vilest of crimes ; that they have been compelled to hard labour ; and that they are undergoing all the horrors of tie silent system , and of solitary confinement .

      ' Yonr petitioners have also to complain of the flip pant , careless , and heartless way , in which the com * plaint of the prisoners , relative to their treatment before trial , was received by Mr Justice Wilde . 1 Your petitioners always understood that unless hard labour formed part of the sentence , that no hard labour could be enforced ; and your petitioners cannot attribute the shameful way in which the Chartist prisoners are treated , to any other cause than that special orders have been sent to the prison authorities , from the Home-office .

      • Your petitioners beg to call the attention of your honourable house to the fact , that solitary confinement has , in many cases , driven the unfortunate men subjected to it , to madness ; and , that in other cases , it renders them unfit to associate with their fellow-men afterwards ; for proof of which , your petitioners beg to refer your honourable house to the report of the Pentonville Prison Commission , made sometime since to your honourable house . ' Your petitioners ^ believe that , if the prisonershad been guilty of the most brutal ,, wicked , or hsinous crimes , they conld not have beea subjected to a more stringent or coercive mode of punishment ; and that treating men convicted of a misdemeanour tbe same as if convicted of felony , cannot fail to create great and increasing discontent and dissatisfaction with the government which sanctions it .

      ' Your petitioners are of opinion , that if equal and even-handed justice were to be dealt out , several of her Majeaty ' a Ministers would have undergone a punishment of the same kind as that which these men are now subjected to , far more violent and inflammatory speeches having been made by them when out of office , with impunity ; which language , if uttered by a poor man , would have been visited with all the vengeance of the Attorney-General . * Your petitioners , feeling it to be utterly useless to memorialise the Home Secretary to ameliorate the

      condition of the prisoners , come before your honourable house , and most respectfully pray that you would be pleased to take this petition into your con « sideration , and , in the exercise of your power grant the relief prayed for , viz ., that the prisoners be treated like human beings , and not like beasts ; that they may wear their own clothes ; that they may be allowed the use of books , pens , ink , and paper ; that they be not subjected to hard labour , or to the silent system , or to solitary confinement ; and that they shall not be punished as felons when only convicted of misdemeanour .

      ' And your petitioners , as in duty bound , will ever pray for your honourable house- ' Supported by Messrs Nobbs , Ilopkinson , and R Fuzzen . Carried unanimously . Moved by Mr Fuzzen , seconded by Mr George Fox , that the petition be sent to Mr 'Wakley , for presentation . Moved by Mr Fennell , seconded by Mr George Fox , ' That this locality adopt the policy recommended by the Executive , to have nothing to do with secret societies . ' Carried . The meeting then adjourned to Sunday , July 23 rd . A lecture is given at Hudson ' s Academy , _ Crossstreet , Hatton Garden , every Monday evening , at eight o ' clock .

      LIVERPOOL BRANCH . At an adjourned quarterly meeting of thia branch of the National Land Company , held on the 23 rd March , 1815 , the Bank , question was taken up , and after au animated discussion it was resolved , that a committee be appointed to draw up an address , print and circulate the same among the members of this locality , and that a copy be sent to tho various branches through the country , impressing npon them the necessity of support , ing , by every means in their power , the National Land and Labour Bank , but more especially the Redemption department thereof . In accordance with tbat resolution , the committee appointed for the purpose , beg leave to lay before you a few simple reasons why tucy think It the duty of each and all of tho members of this Company , aa soon as they shall have paid up the full amount oi their shares to continue paying into the Redemption Fund of the Company .

      In tbe outset , then , it must be obvious to every thinking individual , tbat tbe amount paid by him or her ( uto the Company , as share money , will never guarantee te thom the getting possession , in any reasonable time , of two , throe , or four acres of land , as the case may be , besides a comfortable cottage , outbuildings , and £ 15 , £ 22 10 s . or £ 30 , as aid-mosey , to commence operations with , There ia no doubt that , by re . production , in tho course of time the Company would work its own redemption , and that thousands wonld be located in a few years upon tbe land , ( a consummation , wo all devoutly wish for ); but , for the more speedy dovelopenaent of the plan , the better security of all the members to a participation in the advantages derived from the scheme , and to secure the Company against failure , we consider it the duty of every member to commence and redeem their shares as spftedily as possible , and for the following reasons : —

      1 st . — The amount paid by members on their shares i » so trifling , in comparison to the great advantage anticipated frem tbe eoheme , that it is impossible these expectations can be realised to the satisfaction of all in any reasonable time . 2 nd . —If the idea of loeating the members by re-pro-{ taction is abandoned , and the Banh substituted In Its place , we have not a sufficient amount of capital to offer as security to depositors to invest their money in the Bank to the amount necessary for the full developement of tlio plan . Wo will now enter more minutely into an explanation of the position that we occupy at the present time with regard to our getting possession of the land , as wo believe that the members generally have not given this great question their serious consideration , and that it is only necessary for us to draw their attention to the subject , so that they may take up and carry through with energy and spirit this great worlt they have SO HObly btgun .

      It is computed that there are 60 , 000 members in this Company , and if we set theia down at an average of three sort's each , their shares when paid up will amount to £ 231 , 030 . Wo will suppose , for the sake of illustrating our position more fully , that thia amount has been paid in , and from this we will proceed and examine how much money will bo necessary for the location of all the members , and then contrast tho capital we possess with the total amount required , and from this we will at once perceive tho course necessary to be pursued , Mr O'Connor , in tbe March number of tho Labourer , allows , on an average , for the completion of a throe-acre allotment , £ 220 . That is , three acres of land at £ 35 per acre £ 105 Expenses of erecting cottogo , making roods , and performance of agricultural opera ' tions , 115 £ 220

      We here set all the membera down as three-acre shareholders , and carrying out this supposition , it will be necessary to provide 60 , 000 members with allotments to this amount ; or , in l he first place , raise money sufficient for tbat purpose , which , iu good round numbers , nill amount to £ 13 , 200 , 900 . Seeing , then , that this enor-

      Peterborough.—At The Quarterly Meeting O...

      mous amsunTof money must be preosred either hf production from the oapliol we possets or loan , and see . lng we have set aside re-produetioo end adopted the Bank , it behoves us all , as men engaged in a good and glorious work , not to be appalled at the apparent Impossibility of carrying out this great undertaking ; in * stead of being dismayed , rather let it stimulate us to renewed exertion , and rouse all our energy and zeal in emancipating ourselves from the degraded position we have so long occupied la society , and show to the enemies of labour that , though they can trample on 1 b bovir in an Hoisted state , in combination it is unconquerable . mon of mon * y " t > 6 Precured either Hf production from the capital we possess or losn , and see- lugwe have set aside re-productioo end adopted the

      Havingproceeded thus for in showing thesmallcapita we possess , ar . d tbe largo amount necessary for the carrying out of our object , we will now proeeed to consider the best means te be adapted to give the Bank a nuffioient stability , so as to induce individuals to deposit Mr savings with us , rather than with any other Bank , There is no doubt a sufficient Inducement at tho present time , in tho greater amount of interest given to deposltoru , and tho batter security offered , but if we take Into consideration the great amount of prejudice we have to contend against , and these prejudices even existing in ttio minds of ardent Reformers , who , not viowingtho icborne an wild omtopWn , but fearing' thero ii not flta . bility enough in the pooplo to carry Into practice this gigantic measure , haug back , and look coldly upon us , until wa have s ^ own to them our sincerity , by giving * he scheme we have adopted all tho assistance in our power .

      There are other parties whose interest it is ( or who think it is their interest ) to plunge the wotktng classes ef this country still deeper into the vortex of misery , and whose schemes can only be frustrated by this co-operative method of creating Independence , Space will Rot allow , or we might enter more into detail OU this subject ; but as it is our desire to draw your stttntion moro particularly to the speedy working out of this measure , in vshieh we are all , ^ o much Interested , than to evils at present existing in society , we will now briefly lny before yon onr views on this subject , Having taken onr calculations from 60 , 000 members for the creation of the capital we possess , and likewise for the amount necessary for our purpose , we will proceed to calculate on the same number . If , then , we set down

      each individual to pay two-pence ptr week per share into the Redemption Fund—that ia , two-acres 4 d „ threeacres Gl , four-acres 8 d , —and there are many amongst us who spend that on some useless superfluity , and which could well be dispensed with , especially if the savings , wero te be applied fer the purpose of redeeming ourselves from slavery , as the Land Pian is calculated to < 5 o . Some may say tbat they are net able to pay that amount , but if there are such amorgst us , as we have bo doubt there are at the present time , there are others who can well offord to pay one or eyen "two shillings per week , so tbat tbe one would make up for the other ; but allowing sixpence per week for each member , that would , give a weekly income of £ 1 , 600 , or yearly £ 78 . 000 , not taking into account interest upon this amount .

      Thus , in isolation , sixpence each member ; in combination , £ 1 , 500 weekly ; still more strongly combined , £ 78 , 000 yearly . If , then , by such a small amount from each , we can command such a large weekly and yearly income , we maj safely infer tbat the public would not be long in depositing on our security in preference to any other ; if we could borrow on our weekly income the same amount as we offer as security , the account would stand thus : —Weekly , £ 3 , 060 ; Yearly , £ 158 , 000 . This U merely giving the amount aa subscribed and borrowed ; but , after paying interest upon the amount borrowed , we would still have a large profit in favour of the Company , ( asshowtt by Mr O'Connor in bis letters on the subject ) , besides the great number who would be located in a short time , and wbo would very soon pay up the whole amount of their Redemption .

      We now conclude , hoping tbat these few remarks , which are but imperfect , may create an inquiry which will , we hope , at no distant day , set the Company at work on a more extensive scale than what is B 6 t forth here , and by the creation of public confidence , induce them to assist us in raising a beautiful social and moral structure on the rains of social disorder and moral degradation . As tbe committee are determined to use every means in their power to bring about a proper understanding among tbe members of this locality , with regard to the Redemption department of tha Company , ttiey ha- ? e for that purpose divided the town into sections , and appointed visitors to wait upon the members in their respective districts , to collect money for the Redemption Fund , and to give every information tbat may be required on the subject . We hope that the members generally will give ua all the assistance in their power in carry , ing thia plan into operation ,
