India And China. . ''" - By The Arrival ...
INDIA AND CHINA . . ''" - By the arrival ofthe overland mail , we learn that jjie British ^ nthoritiea profess to have discovered a OQcip irocy at Lahore , and had , therefore , arrested ginee Chunda , tha Queen mother , of Dhnleep Sing , gfee was taken Seam the palace , and conveyed under ia escort to Shaikhoopra , a fort abont twenty mites distant . The Prime Minister , Tej Singh , is a de pded friend of the British , and therefore the object of much hatred to the ex . Qu . een , and her partisans .. Se British officers are on the alert . The troops at here , being highly paid , are to be changed annually , in order to give equal benefit to the various regiments in the north-west ef India . Tbe Hiram ' s dominions present the same inextricable confusion as before . All remained quiet at Canton , bat there was an uneasy feeling still STlrf ' S ? .
FRANCE . The Ifoutear publishes two royal ordinances , the one extending Iran Slat Oct to 31 st Jan ., 1848 , the prohibition to export from Fiance vegetables , potatoes , meal , chestnuts , « fc &; and the other declaring in rigour until the Slst ef January of the same year the provisions of the Royal ordinance of the 27 th of July last , relative to the exportation of Indian corn aad buckwheat , andthelr meal . The persona lately tried by the Court of Assizes of Paris for manufacturing incendiary projectiles and gunpowder were condemned , on Saturday , to different periods of imprisonment * varying from six months to four years . Considere , against whom no evidence existed ,. was acquitted . SPAIN .
Queen Chrishna , who last week secretl y left Pari ? , arrived in Madrid on the 14 th ; A telegraphic despatch which arrived in Paris on Saturday evening , announces that tbe reconciliatien of the King and Queen of Spain has been effected . The king tad returned to Madrid , and had taken np j , j 8 „ , } . deuce at the Palace . There is a general impression tha t Narvaez is about to strike a coup d ' etat . The military are keptunder arms throughout the capital , the sentinels are doubled , and General Narvaer . has himself , on several occasions , visited the posts . Such extraordinary precautions , vritboufc any apparent reason , for the city is perfectly tranquil , naturally suggests that something is brewing ;
SWITZERLAND . A letter from Berne ofthe 10 th , says : — 'Ijsend yon a short resume ofthe important news received to-day by the Vorort . Whilst the patriots of Val de Trasvers were seizing the four waggons laden with ammunition from the Verrieres , another convoy of seventeen carts entered the Neufchate ! territory , at a part in which the people are very ranch devoted to Prussia , and thus succeeded in arriving at Rochefert , a village situated at two leagues from Neufchatel , on the great road to France . The convoy was still in that locality yesterday morning . It had been escorted from its arrival en the territory of Neufchatel bj a detachment of men , commanded by Captain Houriet , wm ' ch is a compromising circumstance for
the authorities , who proved or tolerated this species of foreign intervention on the Swiss territory . The Federal Directory has also received information that ten waggons containing ammunition , equally destined to the canton of Fribonrg . had arrived at Pontirlieu on the 8 th , and that they were in depot at the Sub-Prefecture . There was one general cry of Indignation against tbe conduct of the French government in this affair , both in the Doubs and in Switzerland . Dispatches from M . Stocfejnar , the Federal Commissioner to Neufchatel , were received this evening by the Vorort , bat nothing has yet transpired as to their contents . The Industrie ! -steamer is now perfectly armed , and is commanded by an inhabitant of Vand , who was formerly an officer in the English navy . Day and night this vessel
traverses the lake in all directions , audit is seconded by about twenty little vessels , ccenpied by earatftfieen . A * , lnY « eret , ti » fo 8 vagary ffiiek , ii is . possible that if the Neufchatel government decides to send off the convoy which is at Rochefort , it may escape the military surveillance organised by the inhabitants of Vand . To prevent the conveys of gunpowder from proceeding in the direction of Marat , the government of Vand has caused artillery . to be placed at Sauge , a hamlet situated at the opening of the river Is Broie , which unites the lake of Mora t to the Lake of Neufchatel . The Grand Council of Claris has , by a vote of seventy-nine to eleven , decided to give instructions similar to those of . Zurich for the execution of the decrees of the Diet , and it has besides set aside its Deputy , M . Blumer , ihelandanman , who was considered deficient in
saergy . A letter dated the 11 th , states :-That the steamer Industrie ! bad captured in the lake of Neofeha tela large , boat laden witharms , and bound to Fribonrg . A later communication has the following : — The steamer which the canton of Vand had manned and armed os the Lake of Neufchatel , as a vessel of war , in order to intercept any vessel that might be conveying arms to the Fribonrg shore , presented itself within two cables length ofthe city of Neufchatel , nnder what were regarded as menacing and hostile -circumstances , and produced a reclamation on the part of that canton against that of Vand , which was transmitted to the Vorort of Berne . '
A letter from Berne , of the 12 th , in the Preset of Saturday , says : —* On Sunday the meetings cf the two landgemeindsot Upper and Lower Dnterwald were held ; The assembly at Stanz was attended by 3 , 500 citizens , and that at Saarnen by 4 . 000 . The votes were given , according to ancient tradition , by holding np the hand . At both meetings a resolution tos unanimously come to , that the decisions of the two governments to remain faithful to the Sonderband , and to defend to the last extremity the
cantonal independence , should be adhered to . A general -topic of conversation here is a grand dinner given on Friday to Mr Peel , by the members of the govern--ment at Berne , and an enthusiastic speech delivered by the young representative of the British government . Unfortunately it is greatly feared that it will be with this speech , as with the note of Lord Palmerston , and the conversation of Lord M into , the fahUeationofwhichis still to be looked for with impatience , in order to be able to give to them their real value . *
We read in a letter from Berne , ofthe 13 th , ia the Omo » Jfcwarc % tte : — 'The greatest impatience was manifested tins evening to learn the resnlt of the discussion in the Grand Council at St Call ; bnt it appears that the matter will occupy more than two sittings , for nothing is yet known ; ws learn merely that four propositions , brought forward by the nltramontaine opposition , and tending to disapprove of the military measures taken by the government , to suppress the civic guard formed in the tows of St -Gall for the maintenance of order , 4 c , were auccea-Btvely rejected oy seventy-seven votes to seventythree . Not a member was absent . Twenty-eight speakers were inscribed for to-day , so that the proceedings are probably not yet over /
Other letters from Berntof the same date , state I that the relations ofthe canton of Neufchatel with the Vorort are becoming every day more complicated , in consequence of the seizure of the arms furnished by the French government for the use of the Sonderbond . The President of the Canton , in his interview with M . Stockmar , theFederal Commissioner , denied that he had favoured the transmission of the amis seized , bnt that , on the contrary , he had written to the authorities of the department of the Donbs , to forbid that any arms or ammunition should be sent through the canton of NenfchateL In the course of his explanations the President became warm , and charged tha Federal Commissioner with creating embarrassment in order to withdraw the canton from
the domination of the King ef Prnssia . Thereupon . -33 violent ascene ensued that the President declared tli athewonUhreakofffjnriheTM » TunnnicafaonwiihM Stockmar , and sent the Councillor of ^ State Calame to Berne , to complain and to demand the recall of M . Stockmar . To this demanithe Vorort peremptorily Tefused to assent , and addded , that if the representations madebyM . Stockmar did not receivedue attention the Vorort would occupy the canton of Nenfchatelwithamaitary force . It appears further that considerable irritation prevails in the cantoniof Neuf--cbatel , ani that much dissatisfaction is felt at the coarse pursued by the government .
A Berne letter of the 13 th in the Conservateur , says : — 'At the election which had just takenplace at Berne for a representative , in tbe place of M . de Halwgl . who wonld not accept his nomination , the Radical candidate , Colonel Mnller , was chosen by 332 votes againat 248 given tothe Conservative candidate , M . VildboIz , Thus the city of Berne is decidedly added to the Radical party . The Impartia l of Geneva ofthe 12 th informs ns that the Grand Council , initaaitting ofthe 11 th , had almost nnanimoualj adopted propositions for conferrmgexteaoroliiaTytempoiarypowersontneCenncil of State for tallmg out trw ^ , andmaking other military preparations .
The Cbnst & rtfoiMteZ has the following letter from Berne , dated the Jith : — * The display of military in the mixed canton of Neufchatel continues . Every Point on the shores of the lake is guarded by detachments of armed men against invasion from the troops ofthe Vand . The steam-boat will probably continue its mission until the meeting of the Diet . Nothing is decided in the canton of St Gall about giving supplementary instructions to its deputy iathe Diet . The parliamentary tactics and discipline in each of the camps of the legislative bodies of this eanton , b & ve been admirable ; out of 150 members of the
Grand Council , composed of 77 Liberals ( of whom 59 are Protestants and 18 Catholics ) and 73 Uitramontains ( all * Catholics except one of the Reformed Church ) , not one has made default during this inveferateeonfiict .

At an assembly ofthe population ofthe district , held on the 13 th , it was resolved to refuse to comply with this demand , and , on the contrary , to place itself at the disposition of the Federal government . If the cantonal government of Fribonrg attempts to compel the district of Morat by force of arms to supply the required contingent , a Federal intervention will doubtless be demanded , and cm scarcely he refused . Civil war would he the immediate result .
Reported Decision o ? St . Gau , a mvobb of the Dnwl—Letters from Switzerland of the 15 th inst ., state that the grand council of the canton of St Gall has at length come to a decision on the question ofthe Sonderbund . This decision was looked to with great interest , as upon it , in a great measure , depended the question as to whether the liberal and governing party should retain its majority in the Federal Diet . The council has come to tbe resolution , by a majority of 76 to 73 , in favour of the adoption of such measures , even to the exercise of military force by the Federal Assembly , as may be thought necessary for the purpose of enforcing the resolutions ofthe Diet with respect to the dissolution ofthe Sonderbund . The importance of this deeisien
will be estimated when it is recollected that the vote of the council ef St Gall ensures a majority of the whole of the cantons in favour of coercive measures against the Catholic cantons . This result , though previously foreseen , has had the effect of greatly raising the confidence of the Liberal party , which appears determined to enforce the resolution of the Diet by all meaas in its power . The utmost enthusiasm is the consequence , and that enthusiasm is greatly increased by the indignation felt at the unworthy conduct of the French government , in putting arms into the hands of the rebel cantons to resist the supreme government . The triple council of Zug assembled on the 12 th , in order to draw up farther instructions for their deputy to the Diet . A motion . rproposed by the Liberals , to the effect that the Sonderbund and the Jesuits
should he denounced , was negatived by a majority of 116 to 20 . On the other hand , a motion for the dissolution of the separate alliance was unanimously adopted , but with the condition that the question of the Jesuits should be allowed to drop , and that the civil and religious rights of the Catholics should be guaranteed . . Ao 3 tbu 5 IifTsarssnes . —A correspondent of the AUgemeine Ztitung writes as follows , on the 8 th inst ; , dating his letter from the banks of the Danube : — ' I lose no time in informing yon , that in consequence of the menacing sy mptona of a civil war in Switzerland , the cabinet of Vienna has determined on drawing a military cordon along the whole length of the Swiss frontier , from the Lake of Constance to the Logo Maggiore . Orders to this effect have already been issued to the different commanders in Tyrol and Italy . '
FOBSIO . V EtTEBvzanos . According to letters from Vienna , the Austrian cabinet has given orders to concentrate on the frontiers of Switzerland an army of from 20 . 000 to 30 , 000 men . Oa its side the Gazette de Bale announces that on the French frontier orders have also arrived to prepare military cantonments in several localities ofthe department of the Haut-Rbin .. The unjustifiable conduct bf the French governmental selling arms to the rebel cantons of Switzerland is still severely dwelt upon . by the Paris
papers . The Frankfort Journal of the 17 th instant announces , On an authority worthy of credit , that the threeNorflwmPowers . acting in accordwithFrance , will interfere in tho affairs of Switzerland . The intervention will be intrusted to Austria and France , and the other two Powers will aid and assist them . This extreme decision is not to be adopted until an appeal shall have been made to them by the Sonderbund . The Powers regard such an appeal not only as a justification for an intervention by virtue of tbe treaty of Vienna , bnt likewise as a duty :
- Neotchatkl . —The Nenfchatelesa government engages formally to taking fitting measure to prevent all passage of arms and ammunition through its territory for the states of the Sonderbund . A new incident has just arisen relative to this kind of convoy . The day before yesterday there were seized a cargo of seven cases , filled with arms and ammunition at RheinfeWen , in the canton of Argan ; this cargo , which , it is said , came from Strasbnrg by Bale , was addressed to the custom-house at Zurich , without denht to elnde the vigilant look-out that is kept ; for if it be shown that it is really the communal council of that place which commanded these arms , it will be responsible for such an act to the governmentbut it is generally supposed that the
inter-, cepted cargo was intended to be earned to the primitive cantons by the aid of conservative employes at Zurich . - ¦ - ¦ . ¦ Mohat . —All the militia of that district repaired yesterday to the prefecture to declare that they refused to accede to the summons sent them to . go and swell the numbers of the Sonderbund troops , This determination has caused a great irritation in the Ultramontane party , and the most violent measures have been proposed in the Council . of State ef Friburg by thedeputy at the Diet , Fournier , for the purpose of overcoming the resistance of the district of Morat . The Federal Council of War ( the highest
military authority ot the Confederation ) has been sitting for the last two days , and is bnsy in devising means to place the Federal army in a state to respond to the appeal which will be made to it by the Diet . St Gail—The Grand Council of St Gall have carried a resolution in favour of coercive measures against the Sonderbund , by a majority of 76 against 73 . The consequence of these decisions will be , that the Diet will vote for the forcible execution of its decrees by the same majority exactly as that by which tbe decrees themselves were voted . Thus 12 $ States out of 22 hare come to * a resolution that the league of tbe Catholic States , called the Sonderbund , should be dissolved .
Bznns . —A serious movement has manifested itself among the Catholic party of the canton of Argaa , and the government of that canton has sent to the Directory , demanding a prompt reinforcement ' of the Federal troops , not only foe the purpose of putting down the Catholic revolt , bnt to awe a corps of Lucerne troops which have advanced to the frontier of Argaa , and are threatening to join their Catholic brethren . A large number of troops and artillery , which had assembled at Thun as a camp of instruction , entered Berne , and the whole ofthe neighbourhood is swarming with troops . A general levee of the whole of the Bernese troops is ordered by the authorities , without waiting for the authority of the Diet , of whose decision on the point there can be no doubt , since the vote of the Grand Council of St Gall . The number of troops which will be in a few days assembled by the cantenofBemealone will amountto more than 50 , 000
men . On the other side the Catholic cantons are prepar ing vigorously for the struggle . The people of Valais , havingbeen consulted on the question of peace or war , have decided by a majority of 11 , 700 to 380 that they shall remain faithful to the Sonderbund . The support of Austria and France gives them great confidence . With respect tothe means of defence , it appears that the Catholic cantons are not by any means unprepared . Although a portion of the arms and ammunition sent to theeantons of Fribourgand f / ucerne by the French government were seized , a still larger portion found their way into these cantons . The quantity of muskets sent by Franca was upwards of 5 . 000 .
ITALY . Letters from Italy / quoted by the German journals , say that the evacuation ofFerrara it again indefinitely adjourned . According to them , the Pope demands the complete evacuation , including the citidel . This Austria refuses . Negotiations were nevertheless still continued . Theitaria of Florence states that , on the 30 th nit ., Count Ressi , the French ambassador , communicated to the Cardinal Secietary of State a letter from M . Gnizot , announcing that Prince Metternich had informed him that Ferrara should be evacuated by the Austrians . But the Feltineoof Bologna , of the 7 th , does not make mention of this evacuation , and as Bologna is only ten leagues from Ferrara , it is probable that the Austrian troops were still in the latter place on the 6 th .
A review of the national guard with the troops of the line , took place at Rome on the 7 th , in the afternoon , outside the PortadelPonolo . Aftersome macceuvres , the soldiers of both bodies piled their arms and mingled together , embracing each other , and eicfs iminz v Long lire Italian fraternity ! Italy Sr ever 'Long live Pius IX . « . ' They then marched back into Rome , followed by immense crowds of the people , their bands playing the national hymn . All the houses of the Corso vera named !

Letters from Naples of the 3 rd inst . maintain , notwithstanding the assertion of the Journal . 3 ea Bebots to tbe contrary , that the Kieg of Naples was determined to resist the will of the people , and to make no concessions unless compelled to do so by the force of circumstances . His Majesty , it appears , not confiding implicitly in the loyalty ef his troops , hadreenrred to an unworthy artifice in order to disorganise the insurrection . At bis suggestion it was intimated toits chiefs , that if they laid down their arms , he would grant his subjects the
institutions they . demanded . Romeo and others , trusting in a promise emanating from an official quarter , instantly desisted from their purpose , and the royal troops quietly occupied the districts that had been the seat of the insurrection . The King , on being subsequently reminded of his promise by his Ministers , peremptorily refused to execute it . The President ofthe Council , the Marquis de Pietracatella , tbrongh whose medium the message had been conveyed to the insurgents , ' perceiving that he had been made a dupe of by the King , immediately tendered his resignation .
The Toutonnais of the 10 th inst . contains a letter from Naples of the 3 rd , confirming the above particulars . ' The moment , ' it says , ' the disastrous intentions ofthe King became known , they produced a general consternation amongst all classes . of the population . Nevertheless all is calm at Naples , but it is the calm of terror . ' The Augsburg GaseUe of the 9 th inst . publishes a letter from Sicily ofthe 25 th uit ., which states that a proclamation had been issued at Messina promising 1 , 000 ducats for every living insurgent delivered up to the government , and half the sum'jf dead . One of the many insurgents , bearing the name of Romeo , had been hunted like a wild beast , killed , and his head placed on the head of a pike , and exposed during several days in the market place of Reggio . At Palermo extraordinary measures of security were enforced , and strong detachments of troops patrolled the streets day and night .
Later intellisence represents thai the insurgents have again taken the field in Calabria and the Abruzzi .
POLAND . Wabsaw , October 10 .-HLate on the night of the 9 th the Emperor of Russia arrived in this city from Lublin , and proceeded to the Lazienski palace . He was accempanied by the Grand Prince Constantine and General Orloff . Field-Marshal Paskewitsch has also arrived in Warsaw .
RUSSIA , Si Pxtkeshdho , October 9 . —Accsunts from Kostroma state that a terrible fire which had broken out in that city destroyed 118 dweJling-housea and the convent ; on the same night another fire broke out in a parallel street , but happily only one house was burned . The next day , at seven o ' clock in the evening , the inhabitants were a third time called upon te witness a part of their town in flames . Another fire occurred , which proceeded with sach rapidity that in an incredibly snort time seventy houses were burnt to ashes . .. - ... . '
CIVIL WAR IN HAITI . Accounts from llayti show , incontestably , that a revolutionary straggle of a most sanguinary character has burst upon that devoted people . On Sunday , the 22 nd of August , two negro Generals , Semelien and Alerto . having incited rebellion , Generals Teslongeand Descayettes openl y revolted . They were joined by hundreds of negro citizens . This is a civil war between the blacks and mulattoes .
Cholera Morbus In The East. Our Malta Co...
CHOLERA MORBUS IN THE EAST . Our Malta correspondent announces the receipt , on the 4 th of October , at that island , of intelligence from Trebizond , tothe 19 th of Sept . up to which date the cholera which had manifested itself in that town on the night of the 8 th , and had , up to tbe 15 th , been rapidly spreading bet afterwards declining , had carried off 153 out of 360 attacked . This disease had also broken but at tbe close of August in Bagdad , where , on the 1 st of September , out of 16 attacks , 6 had proved fatal ; but at Kara and Erzeroom on the 4 th alt ., it had nearly ceased , leading only afew isolated oases of a mild type . The Austrian steam-packet Stambool , which arrived at
Constaptmople from Trebizond on the 21 st of September , with 256 passengers , had had three cases on the voyage , of which two died , and the third , was not able to survive . She was ordered to ride out a quarantine of ten days at the Dardanelles . On the 4 th of October , the Board of Health at Malta came to a determination that vessels arriving from ports where the cholera exists , having actually on board cases of sickness or death , or having had either the one or the other within twelve days previous to arrival at Malta , will not be permitted to enter even tbe quarantine harbour , bnt must remain cruizing on and off
the harbour for such nember ef days as the Board of Health may decide . Upon the report of the quarantine physician , who will go alongside such vessels , aud obtain the necessary information as to the nature ef the disease , the Board of Health will then fix the number of days before such vessels can be allowed to enter the quarantine harbour , and they will be subject then to perform such period of quarantine as the board may , under the circumstances of the ^ case , think proper to impose . Tbe Journal dee Bebats announces the appearance ofthe cholera at Vienna ; one person had died of that disease in the General Hospital ;

Lbkbs Habd-loom Weavers . —Oppressive Conduct of ah EupioTSR . —About five weeks ago , Messrs Robinson and ; Co ., gave notice to their sacking and bagging weavers , that it was their intention to reduce the price of weaving the above fabrics six ? pence per piece , which would amount to from fifteen to sixteen per cent . ; but as the whole of the other manufacturers engaged in tthe same business have declared that there is no necessity for any reduction of our already miserable wages , and further that tbey had no wish to reduce if Messrs Robinson could be prevailed upon to continue the present scale of prices , tbe wearers employed by the above firm unanimously agreed to cease working until such time as Messrs Robinson agreed to pay the same rate of
wages as is now generally paid ia the town . The turnouts are still out and are determined to continue so until they get the Fame wages as the other employers are paying . We beg to return our thanks to tbe weavers of Barnsley , Doncaster , Pontefract , Wakefield , Knareshorough , Hull , Sunderland , Newcastle , and other places fer the kind manner in which they have assisted us , and beg to state that we are determined to suffer any privations to protect the wages of our toil . ; A NuHBROOS Aim Respectable public meeting of the inhabitants of Monk Bretton , near Barnealey , was held on the 12 th inst . to take into consideration the propriety of re-opening the footpaths that have been illegally closed by the Rev . Mr Wodaworth and Mr Midleham , farmer , and linen manufacturer both residents of Monk Bretton . The annexed resolutions were agreed to : — ' That this . meeting being aware ofthe fraudulent and illegal closing of the footpaths against the expressed wishes of nineteen-twentieths
ofthe inhabitants of the township , and also the inconvenience many are put to byjthe obstruction ; we ; are fully resolved to have them opened to the public aa heretofore by alllawfulmeans in our power . ' 'That a committee be formed to divide the township intodistricts , and request the inhabitantsof those seveveral districts to appoint respectable collectors to wait upon and receive subscriptions , which shall be paid into the hands of one whom the committee shall appoint .

' he said , * he was determined to have it inserted in some other newspaper . ' This shows the spirit by which the members of the committee are actuated . " Downs . —The following is a report of a lecture recently delivered in Dundee by Mr Samuel Kydd . We extract the report from aiocal paper : —
NATIONAL LAND COMPANY * . On Tuesday evening , Mr Samuel Kydd , agent of the Rational land Company , delivered a second lecture , explanatory of the objects of that bod y , in the Caledonian Hall , After some remark * by the Chairman , the lecturer said , after rsviewing the past history , ot the working classes lathis country , and comparing it with the present , they had reason te be proud of the position » hey now oc cupied . When be looked at that position he must say he had no reason to regret the agitations which took place in 1839 and 1810 , and the turn out in 1842 , as they were juit so many steps for paving the nay to the attainment of a scheme which would prove really beneficial to the people . He bad long entertained the opinion that the goodness of a government depended upon the intelligence
ofapeople , and that if they properly understood their real interests tbey had It in their power to subdue all the aatigonlstic forces which could be brought in opposition to them . It was true that tneru was still a y . ry strong force arrayed against th » m . They found the House of Lords filled with irresponsible legislators , and threefourths of the seats in the Commons monopolised by landed aristocrats and their adherents . Notwithstanding this , there was no reason to despond . He recollected that during the debates on that great measure of practical reform—the Ten Hours' Bill—it was declared by Lords John Russell , Howlck , and Morpeth , that the working classes hid becomemoreIntelligent and thoughtful . That was a declaration which he rejoiced at , as it was a confession on tbe part ofthe leaders of one section
of the aristocracy , that the people were beginning to understand their true interests and to act accordingly . The question ofthe land had been often agitated In the House of Commons and the House of Lords iu the same manner as that of weaving was frequently agitated . in weaving shops , just because their legislators were interested in the price of laad as the weavers were ia- the prices of wearing . Of late , however , on looking at the state to which the Weavers were reduced , they had begun- to discuss the . question of the land . That question be looked upon as a most essential one to the laterests of the great , bulk of the people . In former times the people bad some lands they could call their own—the commons—of which every town possessed a certain quantity , often extending to several
hundreds of acres . These had been taken from the p * ople either by corporations or by the neighbouring proprietors . Once on a times dispute arose between the inhabitants of a village in England and an ancestor of the present Lord Morpeth , about a piece of common adjicatit to that village . A government commissioner was sent down to settle the plea between tbe contending parties . The commissioner called upon his lordship ' s factor and the parson of the parish . These worthies walked over the ground , When the corom ) 3 sioijer , after hearing bis companions , without listening to thsir opponents , turned round to the people and told them that the Gubeon . the name o ! the spot in dispute , & saur . dly belonged to hia lordship . Thlswastbo way in which tha people had been deprived of their property ; but such a process being too
tedious , the landed aristocracy contrived to appropriate tbe commons by means of enclosure bills . This was one of the methods by which they contrived , to add to their wealth . The object of the Land Company was to enable the people to club their means towards buying back the land . Though the landowners had taken the land from the people , many of them were in a state of bankruptcy on account of their recklessness and profligate expendl . ture ; and tha Land Company proposed , and he trusted would be able to purchase those lands which they wculd be compelled to sell . The . purchase of land would give the people an influence both politically , morally , and social y , which tbey do not . possess , and which they enn never have without it . He would not say that the poises * sion of the land would enrich the working classes , but it
would elevate them in the social scale—render them more comfortable and more Independent than tbey were at present . He might be told that tho iy » tem might work well enough vtith two or three thousand individuals being put on the land in the manner which had been proposed , but would fall if applied to tbe whole nation . In order to show that small holdings were not incompatible with national and individual prosperity , he should direct their attention to the state of things in Sweden and Ndrway . In the former country according to Mr Laing , a most intelligent traveller , tbe land is divided into large farms , wrought by tbe joint operation of mm and horses .. In the latter , it is divided into small holdings . Both countries are nnder one . sovereign . The soil of Norway is mora sterile than in Sweden , and the dim at a more
oogenic ! to vegetation . Sotwithttattdlag these , the people in the former country are far better off in ihrir mental , moral , and physical condition , than In the latter . What did these arise from ? In the one country the mass ofthe people possess the land , la tbe other thty did not . That was the real cause ofthe Inhabitants of Norway being so much more comfortable in every respect than they wete in Sweden . Switzerland was a country not nearly so rich ae England in the fertility of its soil , or in mineral wealth ; besldes . it possessed but few ofthe facilities for earning on an extensive commirce that this country did ; and yet the paople were far more comfortable there than they were here . It had been asserted that a hand loom weaver could earn sis much as 26 s . a-week In Switzerland , Whin be said so be did not mean that be could earn 26 s .
In money wages , bnt that bis earnings would procure as many of the , comforts of life as that sum wonld do in this country . He , for one , did not like to seo tbe people place-so much trust in tbe amount of . their wages as tbey were accustomed to do , That haslt rendered them dependent on their masters , and consequently less disposed to trust to tbemtelres , Every weaver or in-door workman in Switzerland possessed a bit of land . When the weather was good , he was employed upon it , and when it rained or the weather turned bad , he could betake himself to bis employment within doors . Thus he lost no tlnse as many did here in bting compelled to go about and seek for work , as he bad always something , to put his hand to . He should come jsearer home , in order to show them the benefits of the , small ' allotment system .
They had all heard of fllammis Castle . Ho visit'd it a few day * ago . and mutt declare It to bo'a splendid mansion , and one that was worth gain ? many miles to eec In that neighbourhood there Is a place called the Plans of Thornton , on the estate of Earl Strathmore , wherein * land is divided into plots of about six acres each , for which the holders pay from £ 2 to £ 2 10 s . each . In passing these , he found an old man—tall , stout—a fine specimen ofthe good times when the people possessed far more ofthe land than tbey did now . He was engaged in building a stack , and , on entering into conversation with him , be ( Mr Kydd ) was told that be was years of age ; that he , his father , and his grandfather , had lived on tbe same spot as tonantj-at-will of tbe Earl of Sirathmore . One of the old man's daughters was employed In
the shop , another was coming out of the cow house bear * ing a pall , brimful of milk , while their mother was attending to her household duties . He ( the lecturer ) was invited , according to the good rules Of old Scotch hospitality , to partake of supper with them ; and be must declare that the viands , though not so dainty as tbe dishes of Soyer , were far preferable , and had a finer relish than most of those who heard him were accustomed to hare at supper-time . In the course ol conversation he found that his hospitable host had reared a family of four sons and two daughters upon his allotment—that he had given to bis sobs such an education a « enabled them to fill responsible and profitable situations ; notwithstanding this , he understood that , though the old man were t > be deprived of his holding to-morrow , he had as much laid past a would keep him from want for several months : Could many of them say that ! He feared not , This old man and the people in tbe Plans of Thornton had been indebted for their comfortable holdings to the kindness of several
of tbe late Earls of Strathmore , who had for many generations proved themselves to be excellent landlords , and he trusted the young Earl would follow in their footsteps . He might say tbert > were few counties blessed with more good landlord * than the county of Forfar . There was Lord Panmure—one of the kindest and most liberal landowners , and one who had a very great number of corofortably-sltuated allottees on Msestatee . B-sides that excellent noblesaaa , they had a number of Indulgent landlords In various parts of the county . The scheme proposed by Mr O'Connor was to buy portions of land , and to render them moire valuable by settling people upon them , and rearing ; up small towns In their neighbourhood . The object was to bring the people to the land , tad thus raise its value . Th » scheme was not one of public charity . No one who had not paid £ 2 12 s . Cd . would ba allowed to ballot for on allotment , and after he got It he would be required to pay five per cent , per ' annum on the sum he had borrowed , or upon the capital ear
U The Ffi7 At Tbe U8nal Meeting Of The M...
p Wdedla-tfff ecW e T ? -r ? . m «» l , er holding two shares shenld be entitled tea b 0 H 8 e ( , with the requisite buildings—two acres of land > and 5 >! ( h'pe 8 shares to a , house , three . acres , and £ 2210 s ; four shares to a . house ; four acres , and £ 80 . In order to raise money to effect that , the National Land and Labour . Bank had been established , which offered the land alread y purchased , and tbe funds in the course of subscription , as a guarantee for the money lent to It . The allottees , from . the time of taking possession , were , as he had said , t » pay . interest of five per cent , upon all capital expended in the completion of their respective allotmentswhile the
, Bank paid only three and a half per cent , npon deposits . When all th . sums borrowed hod been paid , tha allotments nnd the buildings would bs conveyed as freehold property to the allottees . Besides that , there was another plan of raising money : Suppose they purchased an estate of £ 10 , 000 , —in a few years , by their system , its . value would doubtless be increased to fcla . QOO . They could then mortgage it for that sum , ns they would find plenty of money-lenders willing to ad vonce it npon the secarity , tbey could give . With this £ 15 , 000 they could purchase another estate , nnd In a short time , by pursuing tbe same plan as in the former case , its value would be increased one-third ; it could likewise be mortgaged . Another estate could be bought with the
money , and thus they , might go on ad wfiniUm in increasing their possessions . Regarding the location of friends or relatives on tbe same estate , be might mention , that any four members , or less , of the comp my , holding each an equal number of shares , none of them being less than eighteen years of age and belonging to the same section , may , by giving notice , to the Directors , have their names planed on the same Delisting ticket , and , if drawn , shall hove then * allotments Jn the same estate ; but should a company ticket be drawn at such a period as would render the location on the property balloting for impossible , tbey shall then revert to their original j-osi .
tiou of members who have not ; been successful in the ballot . This was done to prerent that dispersion of families so feelingl y described by Mrs Hemans in hrr beautiful little poem , The Graves of a Household . ' The system proposed , though , partaking nothing of the character of Socialism , did by no means prevent co-operation . The lecturer then gave an instance how the allottees on the estate of Lowbands had co-op rated in purchasing a boat to convey their potatoes 5 > y the Severn : and the Canal to Birmingham , and to sell thun there on their own account , and bow several had joined in the buying and supporting a horse and several other articles of
which nut one requires the sole use ; but which could be lent from one to another or enjoyed in common . Ho then proceeded to refute the assertion made by a writer in a Manchester Paper , that no security could be granted to the allottees over their possessions , and mentioned that Mr O'Connor could not by any means lay claim to a single inch of tha land , as be pcted for and In the name of others , and that tbe Land Company would bs regularly registered , as soon as the whole of tho signatures could be got ; and concluded , amidst cheering , by urging his audience to become members of the Land Scheme , and to invest tbeir savings in the National Land and Labour Bank . Several questions were then put and answered , to the apparent satisfaction of the audience , and , after giving a vote of thanks to the lecturer and the chairman , and three cheers for Mr O'Connor , the meeting dispersed .
Dalston . —At a special meeting of this branch , Mr John Mardoch in the chair , resolutions were passed in support of Mr O'Connor ' s intended prosecution of the Manchester Examiner , and of confidence in the present board of directors .

That Mr J .

The mcessity of sending a delegate or delegates to tbe delegate meeting to be held at Sanderland , on Sunday , October Slst , was then considered , when it was resolved , That it is the opinion of this meeting that It is highly necessary that a delegate should attend from each branch in this district , but that the delegates be left to act as they may think proper .

While every other county is awaking from its dormant state shall we remain inactive , we , who once were the glory ofthe Charter agitation in the north ? No , my friends , let it not be said . that we are careless and indifferent about our rights , and that we do not deserve them , ' but prove to the world that the Char ter is not only your right , but that you will have it . Look at that great and glorious champion of liberty , Feargus O'Connor , see bis labours , and their j ? lorious results , and say , then , shall we not cheer him on ?
