      it is fully believed that he is now hiding himself in suvme of the villages or towns on the west coast of England . ' ine furniture purchased of the supposed murderer hy Bainbridge , the broker , is advertised for sale by auction . It consists of articles of the commonest description . On "Wednesday , through the exertions of Mr . Inspector Yates , the police succeeded iu tracing the shovel with which the grave of the murdered man is supposed to have been dug . It appears that on Wcdnesdav , the Stli instant , Mrs . Manning went to Mr . Langiov ' s , ironmonger , in Toolcy-strcct , Borou"h where she saw the shopman , and said she wanted an iron shovel , at the same time stating tliat she wished it to he a very strong one . The shopman asked her whether she required a regular shovel ? She replied , " No , she would make one oi the < Jiort-handlcd ones do . " One was shown her ,

      for which she paid Is . 2 J-, leaving her name and address , and requesting the article to be sent to ZSo . 3 , Minver-pL-ice , New Weston-street , iu the evenin ? , which was done , and it was received by Sirs . Manning . The shopman can identify her . There is little doubt that Maria Manning was as treacherous to her husband as she was to Mr . O'Connor , and that she decamped with the whole of the money and securities as soon as the suspicions of the police were awakened , leaving Manning to take lils chance of hciii" apprehended , under the hope that when he was captured , any further pursuit after Ler might be abandoned . It seems evident that there was some arrangement between the two guiltv parties to meet at a particular spot , as a part of the notes obtained from the Bank by Manning on Saturday the JIth inst . were found in possession of the wife when apprehended at Edinburgh , and it is not to he supposed that the husband gave her all these notes for her sole use .

      APPREHENSION OF A PARTY SUPPOSED TO BE MASSING . About one o ' clock this morning a man , supposed to be Manning , with his whiskers close shaved , was apprehended in Peter-street , Soho , and conveyed to the Vine-street Station . Sergeant Langley , of the A division , who is well acquiinted ^ with the person of Manning , was sent for to identify hiro , hut the sergeant stated that though there was a great likeness , it was not Manning , consequently the party was Ecfc & t libcrtv _ ARRIVAl ' oF MRS . MANNING IN LONDON .

      OhTriday morning , at five o ' clock , Mrs . Manning arrived at the Euston-station of the North- "Wcstern Railwav ( in custody of three officers of the Edinburgh police ) bv the mail-train from Edinburgh . Inspector Shoppy and Sergeant Durkin , ofthe A division , were in readiness to take charge of the prisoner . She was very respectably dressed in a brown silk gown , light shawl , white straw bonnet , and a white veil over her face . She walked with a firm step from the carriage , across the platform , to a cab that was in readiness .

      [ From our Third Edition of Last Week . ) OnTriday afternoon , shortly after one o ' clock , the neighbourhood of New Weston-street , Berniondsey , was alarmed in consequence ofthe mutilated remains of a man being discovered in one of the houses in Miniver-place , near the new Leather market . The house iu question is at present unoccupied , but belongs to Mr . Coleman , a builder , residing at No . 1 . About six months ago he let it to a man named Manning , a discharged railway servant , who was dismissed by the directors ofthe Groat Western Railway Company some time ago for being concerned with Nightingale and others in committing a series of robberies on that line . He resided with his wife in Miniver-place , and the

      murdered man was frequently seen at their house , and especially in the company of Mrs . Manning , The name ofthc deceased is I ' ntrick O'Connor , a ganger in the Customs at the London Docks , where he has for some time received a salary of ; £ -300 aycar . lie was supposed to be in possession of nearly £ 4 , 000 in foreign railway bonds and securities , which was ¦ wel l known to Manning and his wife , as they ¦ were frequently in the habit of visiting him at his lodgings , 21 , Greenwood-street , Mile-end-road . On Thursday morning , the 9 th inst ., he left the latter place about half-past seven o ' clock , and at five the same afternoon he was met by a friend near Manning ' s Iiouse , where he said he was going . He was not afterwards seen hy any of his friends , but being in the habit of leai'In " home for some hours no

      notice was taken of it at the time ; but not returning on Saturday , handbills were circulated offering a reward of .- £ 10 for his discovery . Nothing being heard of Mr . O'Connor for some days , Barnes , an active ofiic-ei- of the K division , was employed to look after him , and on that officer going to the deceased ' s lodgings , he found that his boxes had been opened and emptied of all their valuable contents . He then ascertained that Mrs . Manning had been there alone on Thursday evening , the 9 th inst ., "which excited his suspicions . On Friday Barnes and Burton , active officers of the M division , proceeded to No . 3 , Miniver-place , ¦ which had been lately occupied by Manning , when Nix . Coleman , the landlord , afforded them access . Barnes had heard that 3 Iannin « - had used threats

      towards Mr . O' Connor , which led him to suspect that some unfair means had been used against him ; lie accordingly suggested to Burton the necessity of digging up the garden . They did so , but found nothing to excite their suspicions . Barnes then looked over the lower part of the house , and on searching the back kitchen he thought one of the Sags had been removed . He consequently called Burton , and procured a shovel and other instruments , when they removed the stones , and immediately ascertained that they had been recently taken up . On turning up the flag-stones tlie eonstables found that the earth was rather loose ; they consequently called in assistance , and on removing the earth , they discovered the body of the murdered man . lie "was lying on his face "vrith his legs doubled up , and tied with a rope to the haunches .

      Mr . Lockwood , a medical gentleman connected with one of the hospitals , was passing with our reporter at the time , and instantly rendered his assistance . He discovered that the deceased had been murdered ; that he had been shot , as two slugs were discovered near the temple or frontal bone . On turning over the body it was discovered that he had false teeth , which corresponded with the following advertisement , issued on Monday last . " £ 10 Reward . —Missing : Mr . Patrick O'Connor , an officer ofthe Customs , who left his residence , 21 , Greenwood street , iUle-cud-road , on Thursday morning , the ^ thinst ., and was seen near "Weston-street , atfive o ' clock on the same afternoon . Description—fifty years of age , five feet eleven inches high , fair complexion , lurht hair , stout made , and wears a set of ialse tcetkT "

      Later in the afternoon a relative of the murdered man identified the body . Nir . Slow , the beadle , having been informed ofthe awful discovery , directed the body to be deposited in ihe kitehou * where it will now * remain until tho coroner ' s inquest .

      Roisncny by a Clerk . —John Lee 29 , was indicted for stealing £ 20 in gold , the property of Thomas "Wright , his master . There were five other indictments of a similar kind against the prisoner . He appeared very ill and was seated during the trial . Sir . Clarkson prosecuted , and Air . Ballantine was for the defence . —The prosecutor of these indictments carries on an extensive business as a -wholesale cheesemonger in Giltspur-street , and it appeared that the father of the prisoner had been employed in the establishment as a confidential clerk fora great number of years , and the prisoner himself had been engaged in the same capacity for eight years , and ft was part of his " duty to take account of all monies received during the . dayi ' andinthe afternoon either to take it himself or send another

      clerk with the money to the bankers . On the 25 th of July it appeared that a sum of i £ 163 8 s . Cd . was so made up , £ SO of which-was in gold , but the prisoner , instead of sending the whole amount , kept Aack £ 20 of the gold , and only paid £ 143 Ss . Gd . — - . The jury returned a verdict of " Guilty . "—He was ? ihen charged upon another indictment with stealing : bank notes to the ralue of £ 20 , the property of the same prosecutor . —In this case it appeared that the -prisoner had to iatansmit a sum of £ 4 M Gs . to the . bankers , which was comprised of cheques of various amounts , and £ 165 in notes ; and it appeared that , as in ; the former ease , he kept back notes to the -3 mojint . <} f £ 20 , and osiy paid in £ 426 6 s ., instead , of the proper amount . There was no evidence as 4 o . the . description of ihe notes , and there was

      Bothing . in the case to show whether they were Bank of ^ England or country hank notes . —The Recorder intimated his opinion that ihe prisoner ought not to be . convicted upon this indictment , inasmuch as the evidence failed io make out-ihe allegation contained in it . that he had stolen batik notes , which designation applied only to the notes -of the Bank of England . —The jury then gave a verdict of "Not Guilty . — The Refforder inquired what amount of money the prosecutor believed he had been robbed ot by ' the prisoner ?—Mr . Clarkson replied £ 2 , 000 . —The Recorder asked if all the amount had been obtained by the same means as those which appeared to have been employed in the two cases that had been disposed of t— . Mr . Clarkson said it had . —Mr .

      Ballantine observed that fee could urge nothing on behalf of the prisoner , eseept that Ee was in an esjrembl y dangerous state of illness . —The Recorder , m passin g sentence , after remarking upon the very serious character of the offence , told the prisoner that the court would have felt it to be thenduty to have sent him out ofthe country , but that knowing in his state of health the government would not carry out such a sentence , he would not needlessly distress His mind in his present condition , bv passing a sentence which he believed would not be acted upon . ; He felt it to be his dutv however to-pass-upon-lum ^ -s cntence- of long imprisonment ! as it was impossible that such an offence as his could , ie passed over without severe punishment . The

      Erisoner was then sentenced to be kept to hard laour , such as his condition of health would permit him to perform , for two years . Stealing Bricks . —James Watson , 53 , a licensed victualler , Jonathan Richard Watson , 28 , labourer , and Robert Hawley , 29 , a labourer , were indicted for stealing 500 bricks , the property of John Brogden , the master of Hawley . Mr . Prendergast prosecuted ; Mr . Clarkson and Mr . Parncll defended the Watsons , who are father and son ; and Mr . Payne defended Hawley . The case , whicli lasted nearly the whole day , excited a great amount of interest , in consequence of the respectable position filled by the prisoners Watson , and the court was very full . The elder Watson is a licensed victualler , keeping the White Horse , New Charlton , Kent , and

      where he had resided for nearly twenty years , hitherto enjoying an unblemished reputation , as also had his son , who stood indicted with him , and the prisoner Hawley was in the employ of the prosecutor , who is the contractor for the New North Kent branch of railway opened to Gravesend . Tho evidence adduced , however , did not sustain the charge on this indictment , and they were acquitted , but they were again indicted , in conjunction with a labouring man , named John Record , for having stolen , on the 2 Gth of May , at Woolwich , 1 , 090 bricks , the property of the same prosecutor . In this case it appeared that about a week before the date named id the indictment , the elder Watson asked Nir . Barnes , a builder , living at Sandhill , Plumstcad , if he wanted to buy any new bricks , and thousand

      he agreed to take 4 , 000 or 5 , 000 at 28 s . a , and about a third ofthe quantity were sent in , but the vest not arriving , Mr , Barnes called on the 2 oth at Watson ' s , to know why they had not come , and he ( Watson ) said they should be there the next morning . The Watsons then engaged the man Record to go io the brick stack and bring away 1 , 000 bricks at the same time that the other carters were taking them , and if any questions were asked , to say they were for the works at the Charlton tunnel . One of the men connected with the works seeing the cart engaged by the Watsons , made some inquiries , and the answer not satisfying him , communicated the same to the foreman of the works , who at once instituted inquiries , and the result was , that the cart , which had at first started off in the direction of the tunnel works , was traced to Watson ' s premises , and a quantity of new bricks were they found stacked over with old ones . Upon being taxed with the robbery , Watson said there must

      have been somemistakc , and wished topayforthem The police were then called in , and the elder Watson seemed extremely anxious to have the affair hushed up . The jury found both the Watsons " Guilty , " recommending them to mercy on account of their previous good character , and by the direction ofthe court acquitted Record . The Common Serjeant said it was an extremely bad case , especially against the elder prisoner , still the younger one had taken an active part in the matter , which he had most likely been led into by his father . The younger Watson said he had . The Common Serjeant ; But you were old enough to know you were doing wrong , and it is a very bad case ; here is no poverty , want , or excuse of any kind , and a person in good circumstances carrying on a wholesale system of robbery . However , the jury and the prosecutor had both recommended them to mercy , and the sentence was that the younger prisoner be imprisoned for six , and the elder one for eighteen months , and kept to hard labour .

      EXDEAVOCRIXO TO OBTAIN MONEY BY TlIBEATS . — William Smith , aged 21 , and described in the calendar as a porter , was indicted for endeavouring , by threats and menaces , to obtain money from Allen Harrison—Mr . Ryland and Mr . Laurie appeared to support the prosecution , which had been instigated by the civic authorities . —Tho prosecutor , . a warehouseman hi the employment of Messrs . Barton and Barber , Lower Thames-street , stated that , on the evening ofthe 9 th of July , at about half-past nine , he was returning home to Bow-lane , and stopped at the corner of the Mansion-house , when the prisoner , whom he had not seen before , came up to the side of him and said , " I gave not seen you lately , what are you going to give me I" Witness said , " Nothing at afi . I know nothing of you , " and continued to follow him , asain repeating the

      demand , and witness gave him the same answer Prisoner again asked him what he was going to give him , adding , in a menacing tone , " I'll not leave you ; I'll expose you . " Witness made no reply to this , but walked on , followed by the prisoner , until they came to a policeman , when witness told him what had occurred , and gave him into custody . When at the station he said he had been mistaken and had taken witness for another person , and begged his pardon , stating that he would do all he could to oblige him . —The officer , who took the prisoner , said that when he got him to tlie station ho found that his cheeks were painted , and on soacking him he found a packet of rouge and a piece of lint for applying it to his face in his pocket . After some further evidence the jury found him" Guilty , " and he was sentenced to six months ' imprisonment and hard labour .

      LIVERPOOL . Piracy ox the High Seas . —Joseph Ward , 22 , and Henry Mitchell , 35 , mariners , were charged with having , on board the ship , York , on the hi gh seas , on the 27 th of May last , feloniously endeavoured to make a revolt , and to excite others to join them in it , with intent to take possession of the vessel , and run away with her . There were other counts laying the felony in other ways . —Mr . Paget ( with whom was Mr . Rushton ) opened the case to the jury , drawing attention to the chief points in the evidence , which was then detailed at great length . —Mr . Atkinson said a few words in behalf of Ward , who had told him his story , namely , that ho had been shipped while intoxicated , and had so remained drinking for three days , and he was not

      conscious of what he might have done ; that it would have been madness to attempt to tike the shi p against a crew of thirty-three men and several boys ; and that several of the witnesses gave him a good character for quietness . He also addressed the court in behalf of Mitchell nearly to the same effect . —The learned judge summed up , and read those clauses of the act affecting the case , the strongest part of which was contained in tho count in the indictment charging a mutiny with intent to run away with the ship . He recapitulated the heads ofthe evidence . He pointed out that Mitchell was the least implicated , inasmuch as it was not shown that he had himself endeavoured to excite any of the rest of the crew to revolt ; and it might be that he did not intend to join Ward in his wicked proposition . — -

      With regard to tho language used by Ward , it was most explicit and serious . as showing his intention . — The iury , in a few minutes , returned a verdict of " Guilty" against Ward , and found Mitchel " Not Guilty . " —Sentence deferred . DEFnAUDiXG ax Oudfellows' Lodge . —Cardwell Russell Smith , 32 , was indicted for having at Liverpool , on the 2 nd of August , 1 S 4 S , feloniously forged and uttered a certain order for the payment of 5 s ,, with intent to defraud Price Jones . —The prisoner was secretary to the Loyal Rainbow Lodge of Oddfellows , and part of his duty was to make out all orders for the payment of money , which orders were to be signed by the Is . G . ov Y . J \ . G . before they were renderedpayablc . On the 2 nd of August last year the prisoner presented an order for the

      payment of 3 s ., purporting to be signed by Mr . Hunter , Y . X . G ., to Mrs Ann Jones , the wife ol Mr . Price Jones , the treasurer of the lodge , and received the money upon it . In March last the prisoner was removed from office , and his successor , Mr . Astley , discovered that the order presented was a forgery , Mr . Hunter not having signed it , and in June the prisoner was taken , into custody on the charge . — The jury , after a short consultation ,. returned a verdict of " Not guilty . " Manslaughter , —Ayres John Garcia , Joseph Martin , andBcnto Gomez were charged with the murder of Richard Warren Blackwall , at Liverpool , on the 2 nd of March last . The prisoners , who are

      Portuguese , were in the Nottingham public-house on the evening in question , along with other Portuguese and English sailors . The catastrophe arose out of a quarrel , which was caused by the deceased using threatening language to Martin in particular . Martin , it was alleged , gave the deceased a stab with a knife , and the two other prisoners were charged with aiding and abetting him . Blackwall soon after died in the hospital . —After a long address from Mr . Blair on behalf of the prisoners , and the summingup of the learned judge , the jury returned a verdict of * ' Guilty" of manslaughter , under great provocation against Garcia , and " 2 ? ot Guilty" against Martin and Gomez . Garcia ' was sentenced to hard labour for six months .

Hinrichson and her family , under circumstances of peculiar atrocity , was appointed to take place on Thursday , but in consequence of the rest of the criminal business having teiminated early on Wednesday , the case of Wilson was called on , and the trial was fixed to take place at one o ' clock .

      Provincial Newspapers: Their Views 1 And...

      PROVINCIAL NEWSPAPERS : THEIR VIEWS 1 AND STATEMENTS .

      The Drury-lane meeting still continues to elicit observations . The Newcastle Guardian has an excellent article on this subject : — » There are now hopeful si gns of united political action for practical reforms of a comprehensive and useful ch aracter . . The alienation between the middle and working classes is gradually being removed , and will soon disappear altogether . It has long been obvious that this alienated feeling is the great and only obstacle to political progress . Its removal would effect a wondrous change , not only in securing a better system of government , but in promoting a healthier social feeling between classes whose interests being mutual , ought to be constantly united in political action . Tho enemies

      of popular rights know this well enough , and hence their dread of such a union ; hence , too , the jealousy with which the aristocracy regard the ' increasing influence of the middle class , and their anxiety to stir up tho other against it . But , whatever blame was formerly attributable to the middle classes for their apathy concerning the extensive reforms demanded by the working man that stigma is atlenj'th in a fair way o f being removed . The great meeting of the Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association is indicative of a new era in political affairs , in which a more cordial under-Standing will henceforth prevail among those who oughtnever to have been anything else but one party , having common interests and common views

      to advance . Both parties now come to confess their respective failings and to promise amendment for the future . It is our duty to receive their confessions as sincere , and to aid their efforts with all the heartiness which the justice and truthfulness of their cause deserves . They seek now - « to do what almost everybody sees to be essential to the welfare of the country , to procure complete suffrage , shorter parliaments , the ballot , financial reform , and a thorough revision of our legislative system ; and the names of those taking part in the proceedings show that it is no mere faction movement , but one representing parties who have hitherto , from mistaken opinions of each other , acted separately , and are now concentrating their influence lor popular and

      national objects which every true Liberal will applaud and strive for . When we see Mr . Feargus O'Connor , Mr . Edward Miall , Mr . George Thompson , Mr . Clark , and Sir Joshua Walmsley co-operating with Lord Nugent , Lord Dudley Stuart , and Mr , Charles Lushington , we may safely augur some good result to the cause of progress . The amalgamation of the various parties which these names represent cannot fail to give an impetus to political feeling and to quicken the pace of every laggard . With such a union , it will be very surprising if new and extensive reforms are not obtained for the country . The success of such a movement depends greatly upon the support whicli it will receive throughout the country . In London it has had a most

      auspicious beginning , its operations will soon be extended to the large provincial towns , to which deputations will be sent , to prosecute an effective agitation , and complete the work so well begun of uniting the liberal feeling of the country into one grand focus . Newcastle will not be overlooked in this mission ; nor will its inhabitants be slow to respond to the appeal . Various causes have contributed to produce the apathy with which public events are unhappily regarded in this district ; hut the great mass of the people are still pervaded by the same spirit which formerly made their voice sc powerful , and which , once evoked , will again contribute mightily to the social and political regeneration of the country . "

      The Liverpool Journal gives a graphic account of the meeting in a letter signed " M . P . " " The middle and the working classes were solemnly married on Monday at Drury-lane , and not all the lords in England shall put them asunder . There was no mistake about this ' movement ; ' no making-up in the meeting . Pitand galleries crowded with Chartists ; stage and boxes with middle classes —all cheering the same sentiments and announcing the same resolve . Every grade in England contributed its delegate to the platform . Philosophical radicalism , which has bided its time , appeared in the bulky person of Lord Nugent , earnestly disposed to be theMirabeau of a reformed parliament . Philanthropic radicalism stood forth in Lord

      Dudley Stuart , who , in Hungary and Poland , never forgets Marylebone . The church was represented by tho amiable and intellectual Rev . Thomas Spencer ; and dissent declaimed through the astute Edward Miall . Mr . Lushington spoke for tho shop fronts of . Westminster , no longer , he said , hi need of shutters when universal suffrage processions may pass by ; Feargus O'Connor , suppressing bully ism , conscious how impotent he is to stop the way Thomas Clark , a young Chartist , eager , ardent , and daring ; and George Thompson , worn out in the service of democracy , but determined to die in harness , gave forth the responses from tho millions of inquiries as to the labour question . Concessions came from all sides . ' Brother , we have both been

      in the wrong , was muttered on all hands ; and , as spouses , for a term at least , class and class were united ; Sir Joshua Walmsley , whoso boldness and benevolence have got over all the difficulties as to settlements , rejoicingly givingaway the middle-class bride . The meeting was a protest against the present , which those making a profit by the present cannot ignore . ' The people generally , ' said the chairman , ' are sullen and discontented , and my class , the middle class is ground down with taxation ; ' and the statement , which was delivered thoughtfully and deliberately , and not as clap-trap , was received by that vast audience with a dooptoned ' hear , hear , ' which indicated its truth . ' We have been robbed , ' said Mr . Lushington , ' insomuch as we have beeen taxed without our

      consent . * We have been deluded , ' said Lord Nugent . ' insomuch as we were told that we were members of a free state . ' ' We have been deceived , ' said Lord Dudley Stuart , ' and our prosperity , bringing out social happiness , has been a humbug . ' « Wc have been outraged , ' said Mr . O'Connor , ' in our demands for political justice , and those who have outraged us are villians . ' * We are ruled over by an olig archy , selfish and mecidore—let us therefore destroy it , ' was the one cry ; and from Monday will date the destruction . Seriously , quietly , and effectively , not in a revolutionary , but in an English way , have wc commenced the work , and by the old system of agitation will public opinion be coveted , strengthened , and gathered to a head .

      STRIKE OF THE KNABESBOROUGII HAND LOOM

      WEAVERSMessrs . Walton and Co . are again attempting to reduce their weavers' wages ; this is the second attempt within the space of six years . This firm has been proverbial for low wages throughout the linen-manufacturing districts of Yorkshire , for the last thirty years ; but the present is beyond any previous reduction ever offered , even by them . The weavers of Barnsley , ; Monk Breton , York , Leeds , & c , have nobly come forward with their advice and pence to assist the workmen of Messrs . Walton and Co ., to resist this most daring aggression , of their present pittance . The public wejiope will come forward to help this most distressed class of men , of which we arc certain they stand much in ' need , " as thoy have no funds to begin the battle of right against might . The strike took place at a public meeting held in the market place , on Wednesday evening , the 8 th inst ., and up to the present time the men have acted to the resolution then passed , not to take any more work until the masters agreed to give the late prices .

      There has been a subscription opened in Shares borough for the Hungarian patriots . John Dookeh .

      Allegeu Robbery on the High Seas—A female named Mary Foster , with a young child in her arms , was charged at the Liverpool police office with stealing £ 44 on board the American ship Columbus . The prisoner was a passenger on board that vessel , and during the homeward voyage from New York to this port a female died on board . The deceased had £ 44 concealed in her stays , and this being known to the prisoner , she obtained access to the deceased , cut open her stays , and took away the money . On searching the prisoner when she was apprehended here , a sum of £ 40 was found upon her . Mr . Rushton said he had no jurisdiction , as the offence had been committed upon the high seas , on board an American vessel . He ordered the prisoner ' s discharge , and that the money found upon her , except £ o should be kept at the police-office to be handed over to the representatives of the deceased , on application .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . B noiHEns , —We are happy to inform you that the differences that have existed between the prisoners in Kirkdale and the Victim Committee aro all settled , that a new committee has heen appointed , and all appears to give satisfaction , both to the prisoners and the Manchester locality . You will learn from the annexed balance sheet that the Manchester Chartists have subscribed nobly . The men on whose behalf we arc now writing have worked hard and long for the movement , and suffered much

      for the cause of Freedom . And now , Brothers , what are you doing for them ? Have you thought of their sufferings ? Are you anxious to make them comfortable ? Then subscribe a trifle , and ask your neighbour to do the same , for unless you do , they cannot be supported . . We have learned that Doctor M'Douall and family are in very distressed circumstances , and we have decided to do our best to support them . Will you aid ns ? Let your actions prove that you are men , and by making them comiortable you will maintain your character as Englishmen , and diffuse comfort to your fellow labourers in the cause of freedom .

      JWitW " - ' — THE LAND SCHEME . ( From the -Weekly Disj > atch . ) Wo seem to have seen the end , if not ofthe Charter , at least of Chartism . It has had a strange and eventful history . Ten years ago Stephens and Oastler , at Ashton-under-Lync , brought the fury of the Anti-Poor Law Agitation to its fever and delirium point . Manufacturers were not safe in their beds , and their wives and daughters were mobbed and hustled in the cotton-spinning mushroom towns . Leaders , lodges , secretaries , midnight conclaves , torch-light meetings , sacred months , followed . Spies , strikes , pikc-hcad manufactories , Kevsallmoor processions , rapidly pushed on-to Newport risings and treason . Government prosecutions , fines , imprisonments , sacrificed the talkative and

      rich . Then came that vile and unnatural conspiracy between the aristocracy , the rabble ( not the people ) , and the landed gentry , to crush the efforts of the Anti-Corn Law League to untax bread and unfetter industry , which exhibited itself in a determined effort on the part of tho loudest bello wers for liberty to destroy the right of petition , tho privilege of public meeting , and freedom of speech . Tho reputation of the masses was destroyed in the eyes of their fastest friends ofthe middle classes , and the cause of an extended suffrage was , and has been , put back for years . Against the adamantine power of society , and the irresistible force of the love of order inherent in the British community , physicalforce Chartism broke itself into fragments . Having

      the right trccly to meet , and to speak , and to write —possessed , b y the Reform Bill , of the means- of peaceably , rationally , and by the energy of public opinion alone , realising any changes clearly willed by the intelligent body of the people—the nation would not tolerate the attempts which weak and visionary fools made to produce that confusion and insecurity by violence , which would have destroyed the very springs of industry and reduced labour to starvation . Chartism was summarily squashed as a stupid nuisance , which helped tlie peerage to arrest the progress of more formidable , because more practicable , attacks upon aristocratic abuse , and lordly plunder ; and tho events of April , 1848 , crowned the utter discomfiture ofthc mere slack-iaw

      patriotism of Kennington Common , and utterly put to the rout tho credit of the stuttering convention of thirty shillings a-week Lucius Junius Brutuses , who spouted through their wages , and ended their oral wisdom with tlie bottom of their beer-pot , and the embers of their tobacco-pipe . The Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association has now directed the zeal ofthe misguided into a less tortuous channel , and made the torrent of Chartism to flow in a steadier , and therefore stronger current . The loaders ofthc Kennington Common hoax who are yet at large have sunk to their proper level—and wc bow to the wisdom of the Latin proverb , whicli advises us , if we have nothing good to say of the dead , to say nothing at all . Turning their Charter-pikes

      into ploughshares , and the five points of the National Petition into Tussev ' s ten points of good busbandry , many wiser working-men have addressed themselves to the relief of their condition , and . the elevation of their own order , through the niore effectual influences of economical changes . It may be conceded to Mr . O Connor that he had the merit of organising the power of the labouring classes , and concentrating their strength , more effectually and formidably than they had ever been before ; and whatever may be our opinion of the total want of sense and discretion which characterised his guidance of these elements of political effectuality , wo cannot withhold our admiration from the unshaken fidelity and trustfulness which has

      been exhibited by his followers , or the energy and combining skill which , in his hands , might have better served a better cause . He has , as he now informs us , taken his leave of public life—not until , in our candid apprehension , it has taken leave of him , His influence was great—has been abused , and has been lost . We are not disposed to sneer at his ep ilogue . We shall not , therefore , affect to take him at his word , and wish , as heartily as he does , that ho may never more be heard of . It takes some genius even to be a demagogue . There is intelligence enough even in his followers to make it a leather in any man ' s cap that he was able for so long to be their leader . His Land Scheme partakes of the merits and defects of all his projects . That he was enabled to induce poor hard-working men so to combine their weekly three half-pences , as in no

      great lengtn oi time to accumulate a fund of nearly £ 200 , 000 , affords ample evidence of executive design , and a by no means contemptible administrative faculty . That he did not know how wisely to use the great power he wielded , or to teach the masses how sagaciously to appl y the cumulative forces he showed them that they possessed is only to prove , that like many other inventors and projectors , his science and ingenuity fell altogether short x > i the skill of applying them to purposes of practical utilit y ; and that to . propose and dispose demands two very different orders of ability The Land Scheme in its end , is undeniably laudable and excellent . Were the means as wiso as the end is good its success would be easil y demonstrable . Its fundamental postulate is incontrovertible The course of our socia l system , ' the necessary result of our constitutional . policy of an hereditary aristocracy , with & s . Qntail . a , ftd primogeniture , our pro-

      tected interests , with their scandalous monopolies , and our rotten boroughs and pocket counties , with their jobbing members , and huge government patronage , has been to concentrate power and property into a few hands . There is no country in the world where so many of the population are the servants of others , mere recip ients of wages , and precarious dependents upon masters , who , from the pressure of population and consequent competition of labour , reduced tlie great body of the people to tho condition of mere unadstricted white slaves . Political power is attached to the occupation and possession of land . A freehold of only forty shillings g ives a county vote . Yet there is not a State on the face ofthe globe where so small a number ofthe

      native inhabitants are possessed of any . even the smallest , portion of the soil of what is facetiously called their native country . Wo boast of our agricultural superiority , and have compelled our people to pay a tax of fifty millions a-year for the support and encouragement of the cultivation ot these islands . Yet there is not a kingdom in Europe in which so small a proportion of the whole number of the people derive any support from the tilling ofthe earth as in this realm ; the male adults employed in agricultural pursuits in Croat Britain being not quite one-sixth of the whole male adult population of . the kingdom . Cottages have been pulled down' whenever the peasantry have heen wheedled into the union or hounded out

      ofthe parish by sham Game Law prosecutions . The Irish landlords have helped their clearance system by conspiring with steamboat proprietors to carry over the Hibernian bog-trotters to Liverpool or Glasgow at nominal fares , and to charge exorbitant rates for tho passage back to Ireland again . Small farms have been run into large ones—the rural districts have been desolated and depopulated . The masses ofthe people have been driven into the large towns , and confined to the pursuit of manufacturing and handicraft industry ; while the few who have been left in the country to cultivate imperfectly the soil , have been reduced to a minimum of wages inadequate to the supply of mere food , and totally incompetent to the acquisition of clothing

      and other secondary necessaries . These circumstances have resulted in the destruction of a home trade . The equilibrium of occupation between agriculture and manufactures has been altogether disturbed . Five-sixths of the population nave been made producers of clothing and othermanufactures . Only one-sixth have been left to be their customers in exchange for food—and the impoverished condition of that one-sixth is so great , that they are all but profitless consumers of the produce of the towns ; insomuch that thousands of the peasantry go without any new purchases of clothing for many years . Now the object of this Land Scheme is to restore this equilibrium . It proposes to create a large new class of rural freeholders , who , bv

      the acquisition of county qualifications , shall acquire that stake in the country , whicli is the best guarantee for order , and attain . an amount of political power which may transfer the representation of the country from the peers to the people . It designs to transpose a large proportion of the industry ofthe country from the pursuit of manufactures , in which there is too much competition and too little consumption , to agriculture , in which there is too little labour employed , and too few consumers of manufactures left . It expects , by drafting off the surplus Labour of tho towns , to raise wages there , and by making these drafted . corps freeholders , to promote the fertility of the soil , and increase the number of the poor who are

      their own employers , and made independent of wages . No end can be better than this . No scheme for the regeneration of society promises more useful results . No failure has been more completeno means less adapted to the object . When , indeed , we hear its projoetorfrom Drury-lane promising to every wovkingman -10 s . a day or £ 730 a year , we are at no loss to know where the source ofthe abortion is to bo found ; and earnestly would wo advise his followers to hold him to his word , of retiring into private life , or onco more going to law and calling himself to the bar , to whicli ho has been too often brought up already . Gardening and agriculture ^ are not to be learnt in a day . In proportion as men are unskilled in country

      craft , and unmured to rural labour , they require a larger space of earth and more capital to succeed . A gardener , like a poet , is born , not made . You cannot all at once teach a tailor to grow cabbage . The experiment of five-acre farms should be commenced near large towns , and by country labourers , not by cockneys , who cannot tell a cow from a cucumber . Even digging is an art . A small tenant must understand the treatment of cattle and the making of butter ; because , without housefeeding and soiling , it is impossible to command the necessary quantity of manure . The rotation of crops must also be thoroughly known ; because much of the success ofthe small farmer depends upon occupying every square inch of ground , and ( by

      rapidly filling up ot blanks ) upon growing three or four crops on the space on which the large farmer can only raise one or two . A false start has been made calculated to dishearten honest men from the further pursuit of a right princi p le ; and our object is , and shall be , to discriminate between the practicable end and the impracticable means . Farm labourers and skilled gardeners , selected for their good character and industrious habits , should be chosen as the pioneers of the scheme . They should be made freeholders , subject to a rent-charge , and for the security and cheapness of tenure they might hold of trustees of undoubted responsibility . We entreat the subscribers to the Land Scheme not to lose heart . Let them continue their subscriptions .

      taking proper precautions to secure the fund against embezzlement and dilapidation . While it accumulates and bears interest , it must be the object of the labouring classes and their friends to brine practical knowledge and business habits to bear upon the proper developement of a plan which we are convinced , if properly worked out , bears within it the seeds of the regeneration of the peasantry , and , through their elevation , of the relief of the toiling millions , and of the enfranchisement of the working classes throug h the rapid extension of forty-shilling freeholders . It shall be our obiect to prove , by the most incontrovertible evidence that small

      holdings are capable of maintaining millions in comfort , and entire independence upon the caprice of masters , or the precarious tenure of inade-JC T ' & PS : ,- though wc admire the wise dread wh ch the pub he entertain of projectors and 'Winml Chance low of Exchequer , " we shall not ; shrink from also showing how the scheme of conferring farms of all sizes upon various classes of agricuiumsts , may be carried into . practical e £ sunl-for ' WS * ° . c , have bufc i » co »^ el th supporters of the Land Scheme to be cautious , but not desponding There is hopoforthem yet , which

      The Widow oj ? Miwox . —At the recent meeting of the British Archaeological Society , tho Rev . . Dr . Marsden , of Nantwich , read a short paper containing particulars concerning the widow of Milton , who Survived her husband fifty-two . years . and was buried at Nantwich , in the county of Chester . She was the daughter of Edward Minshall , Esq ., of Stoke , situated three miles from that town . Mii „ ton , at the time of this his third marriage , Wf B fifty-three years of age , and this lady married him when " blind and infirm , " and appears to have died in 1730 . " Although no monument , " observed Mr . Marsden , " marks the spot where her remains rest , yet the constant tradition of the religious society

      with which she was connected has preserved the knowledg e of its locality . The burial-ground ofthe Baptists in Nantwich is a small fore court , contiguous to the ancient and now dilapidated meetinghouse in Barker-street , enclosed within a wall and <* ates . The gr ave is situated immediately on the feft hand of the entrance , having the head against the wall and the side against a grave , covered with a ledger gravestone . It was during the period of the poet ' s marriage life with this lady that he dictated the remarkable work which lay buried in MS . for more than a century and -a half , till it was brought to lig ht by the researches of Mr . Lemon , in the Old State Paper Office . "

Although the attendance of both town and country buyers was extensive , the beef trade—as the number of beasts exceeded the wants of the butchers—was in a very sluggish state , at last Monday ' s quotations , being 2 d per S lbs . below those paid on Friday . The very primost Scots sold at from 3 s 8 d to 3 s lOd per 8 lbs . ; at least a moiety of the beasts were in the hands of jobbers . Prior to the close of business a total clearance had not been effected , The general quality of the beasts was seasonably good , that of

      the sheep , lambs , and calves somewhat inferior . For the time of j-ear tlie number of sheep on oft'er was extensive . Although the mutton trade was not so active as on Friday last , a steady business was transacted iu sheep , at fully the currencies of Monday last . The primest old Downs went Otfat 3 sl 0 dto' 4 sper 81 bs ., at which a fair clearance was effected . The supply of lambs was somewhat large ; most breeds , especially Down qualities , sold freely at full prices , which ruled from 4 s to 5 s per 8 tt ) s . For calves , the number of which was small , compared with that exhibited for some time past , the demand was heavy , at about stationary prices . The sale for pigs was very inactive .
