cove * over crowded , and advising emi gration as a iiedyiedy , it is monstrous to think of so many tmsa * usand acres being kepc in a state of nature and and actually entailing a loss npon the iintruitry . If the trees were cut down , and the ad p id parcelled out into small estates , a new Id prd profitable field , both for capital and labour , imhbuld be opened up . A peasant proprietary lightight be formed , wliich would become a source ! sire strength and wealth to the nation . As to e hie interest of the crown in these lands , so inch uch of the purchase money might be invested i vn would provide the annual revenue due covej over crowded , and advising emigratiou asai
lereiereirom , and the remainder applied to the dueduetion of taxation ; that is the least revotioriionary proposal that we can suggest . But tey ley might in the hands of an enlightened and jpuopular Government , be made much more useil . il . We can imagine tbe scene which the fewfew Forest might be made to present when ie ie 60 , 000 acres of which it consists , were trammed into a series of home colonies , giving naphaployment and education to a large , indusrioirious , aud happy population . It is lameniblable to think , that that rich and beautiful
o-etretch of country is productive of nothing but ibbibbing , peculation and demoralization . The lainaintenance of these forests in their present tattate , not only offers opportunities for official iluBlunder , but , at the same time , " converts the Mea > easantry into poachers and thieves . It is inume the system were put an end to entirely . Chtfhe land belongs to the whole people , and ragaght to be used for their benefit , and not to innromote the interests , or to gratify the whims mdnd caprices of any exclusive or privileged ilailass .

Tee Peige of Meat . —Much attention has been dh-ccted of Late to the high prices charged by the hatchers of the metropolis for the supplies of ment disposed of to their customers . That prices in this market have fallen fully 23 per cent , during the present year , is a well-known fact -, and yet we perceive that the consumer , up to the present time , las derived little or no advantage from this fall . According to the present range of value in this market , the best joints of beef and mutton could be sold at 7 * d . per It > ., if for ready money , and then a
lar ^ e margin of profit would be left the hatchers . A contemporary , in reporting the trade hereon Monday last , observed that the " besfc beef was selling at 4 d ! per B > . Such was not the case , as the primest Scots produced 4 s . 6 d . per Slbs ., or nearly 7 d . per lb . If tbe ready-money system were more generally adopted , we should speedily find a considerable " decline in the quotations of meat—we mean those charged bv the butchers—all over the country . Xong credits arc sure to entail heavy losses upon the purchasers . —ifar-lane Express .

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW . Brother Proletarians , A year of misfortunes and sorrows is drawing to an end . All the evils that escaped from Pandora ' s fcox , have this year afflicted the human race : nevertheless , hope—the comforter ofthe afflicted , aud the inspirer of the unfortunate—still remains . Encouraged by that genial power , the oppressed , the proscribed , and the suffering , tarn with renewed animation to the coming period of the future , which , in a few days , the arrival of 1850 will inaugurate .
In tiiis country the good cause of progress , decidedly occupies an advanced position , compared with " the situation" twelve months ago . Wearied of the chicanery ofthe Whigs , fretting under tbe burden of overpowering taxation , and despairing of the arrival ofthe promised millennium of " good trade , ' the bulk of the middle classes have been clamouring for Financial Reform . Their clamour , however , has found no echo in the ranks of the people ; and hence the advance on the part of the bourgeoisie , exhibited in their hoisting the flag of moderate Parliamentary Reform .
" Financial Reform" ia now pretty well shelved , and " Parliamentary Reform" is the " cry" which has rallied a large number of the lower ranks of the middle classes . The " adhesion" of the working classes is rather a fiction than a fact . The Chartists tolerate the new movement ; attend the meetings of the " Reformers , " and cheer those—who avow Chartist principles . But the enrolment of Chartists in the " Parliamentary Reform Association" is limited to an exceedingly select few . Doubtless , some working men not professing the Chartist faith , havejoined tho
association ; but it may be safely asserted that , to the great body of thenon-politicalmasses , the movement is unknown . Had the Parliamentary Reformers the honesty and courage to give their adhesion to Chartism , they would thereby at once create a movement which could not fail to beat down all opposition . Bnt as they prefer to palter with principles—as they are neither bold enough to be honest , nor honest enough to be bold—they may make up their minds that their toil to form a strong party will be immense , and their success will be pro . portionahly questionable and distant . The apologists of this moderate movement are in
the habit of reminding democratic critics that Lord Ivcgext , Lord Dudley Stuart , Mr . Lushixgton , and Sir J . Waj . msi . ey , have , over and over again , avowed their preference for Universal Suffrage , & c , over the scheme of Reform of which they are the champions ; but—add the aforesaid apologists—the aforesaid lords and gentlemen dare not go the full length of their own convictions , for fear of thereby alienating their middle class supporters 3 The r ? flection on the character of the bourgeoisie , as regards their honesty or their intelligence , implied in such an apology , must be patent to all the world .
Every true Reformer must deplore tho loss of time , and neglect of popular power , occasioned by the selfish or cowardly policy of those who will not , or dare not , confide iu the masses . It is to be hoped that , ere long , events will impel the gentle and the genteel to go further and faster . A " ^ National Conference" is to be convened by the " Reformers , " to meet in London in the month of March next—a preparatory step , it is to ho hoped , to making the movement really " national . "
The Freehold Land Movement patronised by Mr . Cobden , who significantly holds back from the Financial Reformers , can be only of service to the popular cause as tending to still further weaken the perishing power of Feudalism . In itself , the Freehold Land project is essentially a boitryeoi & move ; intended to give the little shopocracy of the towns supremacy over the political serfs of tho Landocracy . But it is asserted that the movement has been commenced principally to promote the enfranchisement of the working classes ; and that numbers of working men have already joined the societies . The number of working-class adherents is not likely to reach a high figure ; and in general must belong to the " aristocracy
of labour . " The Freehold Land Movement can never enlist such classes as the agricultural labourers , the Spitalfields weavers , aud the great mass of workers in the manufacturing districts . In fact , the scheme is devised not to break down the electoral monopoly , but to enlarge the number ofthe monopolists . Cobdex has no fancy for Universal Suffrage . His object is to make the electoral body sufficiently numerous to place power in the hands of the " Manchester School ; '' bnt not so numerous as to risk the obtainment of power by the advocates of Reform democralique et sociale . Fortunately , there is no danger of the Freehold Land Movement enlisting the sympathies and exciting the hopes of the proletarian
masses . As regards Chartism , for more than twelve months past there has heen " nothing stirring but stagnation . ' * It is to be hoped that a veritable movement will result from the labours of the late Metropolitan Conference . The true , the ardent , and the active Chartists , in every locality , should forthwith adopt the new plan of organisation , commence the enrolment of members , aud set about making arrangements for holding public meetings , to be attended by deputations from the Provisional Committee . Should the Chartists in any
locality deem the new plan in any respect objectionable , or imperfect , they should nevertheless forthwith adopt it ; at the same time communicating their views to the Provisional Committee . ° and to the Chartists generally , with the view of having all imperfections remedied by a future mlional Conference . To reject the plaa in its entirety , because it may not meet the views , or provide for the wants of a localised section , would be a most detrimental course of procedure . It is hardly , possible to frame a plan which would be deemed perfectly unobjectionable by , and fully satisfactory to fect
all . Some plan , though ever so imper , must be taken as a basis on which to commence operations . The plan just promnlo-ated is the only one at present before the country , and , under present circumstances , that or none must be accepted . Its nonacceptance would be fatal to the very name of Chartism for in that event the " moderateminded" vrould fall into the ranks of the " Parliamentary Reformers ; " while those who so beyond even the " whole hog , " and all the remarkable " bristles " of that celebrated " animal , " would form new combinations , and the Chartists , as a party , vould become
extinct . It is to be hoped , however , that the Chartists , mindful of their former strength , and reanimated by the comparatively favourable circumstances of the present time , wdl rally round their old flag , and work out the mission assigned to them . It is of immense importance that a powerful democratic organisation should exist to take advantage of events , which can hardly fail to arise out of and the
the future collisions of the aristocracy bourgeoisie . The demands of tbe Protectionists , backed by a daily increasing power , answered by the threats of Cobdex , and the applauding shouts of his forces , surely prognosticate a crisis of the most important character Will the Proletarians be prepared m the hour of conflict , to assert their rights , and make sood their claims ? 1 trust so . Moremuch more-mig ht be written on this subject , but a word to the wise is su & cient .
Letters To The Wokk1ng Classes. Lxxii. "...
Turning to France , the closing year hai certainly been one of the most deplorable in the annals of that country . The assassination of the Roman republic : the heavy blow of "the 13 th of June ; " the proscription and banishment of new victims , persecuted for their adherence to the republic , have combined to render 1849 a year of disaster , suffering , and shame . There is , however , one fact which consoles for the past , and inspires the most bounding hope as regards the future . That fact—that great , incontrovertible fact—is the universally acknowledged march of the princi ples of Social Democracy .
A year ago the hypocritical Ordermongers were banded in one strong phalanx , and had just carried their candidate for the presidency , triumphantly through that election . Now that majority—though still affecting union—is devoured by mutual hatreds and internal divisions . That combination of knave and blockhead , Louis Napokox Buoxapaute—a year ago so popular—is now detested by threefourths of those who foolishl y appointed him chief of the State . He promised to guard the honour of France , and , instead , he sent French soldiers to perform an atrocity only equalled in
history by the partition of Poland . He promised an amnesty , and , instead , has liberated a few Hundreds onl y of the glorious combatants of June , leaving hundreds of their compatriots to still linger and suffer in chains ; while he has caused to be transported , incarcerated , driven into exile , proscribed , and destroyed a greater number than he has set at liberty—a liberty too , which , be it remembered , consists in the liberated being constantly , surrounded by spies and other Government Iscariots . Through his lying agents he promised to redeem the proletarians of the towns , and
emancipate the peasantry from taxation . He has deceived both classes . Certain schemes , on paper , for the amelioration of the state of the working men of the towns , have been put forth at intervals , to humbug the proletarians ; but it was never intended to seriously put those schemes into working operation . Indeed , were it otherwise , the . schemes themselves would be found inadequate to cope with the evils they arc professedly designed to cure . ^ The inhabitants of the country districts have been still more grossly outraged . Instead of abolishing taxes , President
BuoxarABTE , and the majority of Ordermongers , have re-imposed the tax on potable liquors , which had been abrogated by the Constituent Assembly . Gikardin , in the Presse , admirably sums up the acts of Buonaparte , since , on the 20 tU of December , 1848 , he took the oaths as President of the Republic : — " Acts of severity , " says Gieardix , " and not one reform . Faults , and not one amelioration . Expenses , and not one economy . Words , and not one act . The year is concluded with credits voted to the amount of 1 , 075 millions , and by an excess of expenditure over the
receipts of 200 millions of francs . " Girahdin is an admirable censor ; but his censure falls in some measure on himself , seeing that he was one of the most ardent supporters of the nomination of Buonaparte to the presidency . The results he now deplores Avere foreseen by those who opposed the candidature of the "Special Constable . " Was not Giuakdin so clear-sighted ? Or is he of that class who , blinded by prejudice , passions , or self-interest , will not see , until tho disappointment of their personal desires opens their eyes ?
The re-imposition of the tax on liquors is calculated to produce results most important , and injurious to the enemies of Democracy . Some persons , indeed , imagine that the attempt to collect the tax will bo the signal for an immediate rising of the peasantry throughout the wine-producing departments . At the least , there can be no doubt that , unless Universal Suffrage shall be abolished , the majority will be annihilated at the next general election . The Jesuits' champion , Moxtaiembeut , may bo a very clever champion of "Mother Church , " but his oratory will
hardly render palatable the precious arguments that "the tax on potable liquors is a necessary aud legitimate one , as the people only pay it ¦ when they have gained wherewithal to do so , " and that " the taxes which now exist are tho best of all , for the very reason that they do exist , and that any change would be attended with danger . " Whatever is , is right ! And if the poor man is too miserable to purchase a e « p of wine , he escapes the tax ! Profound statesman ! you did well to remind the people , that the champions of " Order" are also tho defenders of this iniquitous tax , and that the
enemies of that impost are those , who have been " vanquished in the streets , in the elections , and in the sanctuary of justice . " Poor Imbecile . You and your friends are admirably paving the way for the victory of the " vanquished , " who , having already achieved three revolutions in the " streets , " are at this veiy time successfully opposing their enemies in the " courts of justice , " preparatory to winning even more important battles at " the elections . " Montalembert may assure himself that the Revolution , of which he is the enemy , will yet overwhelm him and the rest of the Ordermongers .
That at this moment the revolutionary spirit is more powerful in France than it has been at any previous period since 1794 , is proved by the desperate efforts of tho government , and the ruling majority to uphold tho existing system . The tyrants and traitors , setting at nought the most sacred provisions of the Constitution , have totally suppressed the meetings ofthe people , and prosecuted , and persecuted , every man who has dared , by tongue or pen , to defend those principles of Equality , Liberty , and Fraternity , which have been , and are being , so shamefully outraged by the . ascendant
factions . The spy system is brought to a state of perfection , uniittained by Fouciik or Guizot . The secret circulars lately addressed by the Minister of War to the Colonels of the Gendarmerie , threw considerable light upon the nefarious policy of the government . The recent municipal elections , having almost universally gone in favour ofthe Red Republicans , the government propose to take from the municipalities the power of appointing their mayors , and to place that power in the hand ofthe Government prefects . Again , the national schoolmasters heing strongly "infected" with the doctrines of social democracy , it is intended to take the power to appoint , or dismiss those
functionaries from the local authorities , and place it also in the hands of the prefects . Of late , throughout France , every prefect known to he a Republican , has been dismissed , and creatures of the Government appointed to that office . The letter carriers are subjected to the same treatment : so , also , every other class employed or licensed by the Government . The National , of yesterday makes known the case of a ticket porter named Bridoux , who has been doprived of his ticket because he professes the principles of Socialism . The London Globe actually has the audacity to praise Carlier , the Prefect of Police , for this act of atrocious persecution .
This proscription of Republicans and Socialists will , of course , add to the army of propagandists and combatants against the Government . The war against the Democratic press is carried on with unabated rancour . The seizure and prosecution of journals is a matter of every-day occurrence ; varied , at this moment , by the seizure and prosecution of the Social
Democratic almanacks—of which , however , immense numbers have alread y heen sold . The seizure and prosecution of Ledru Rolttx ' s brochure , entitled "The 13 th of June , " has not prevented it attaining an immense circulation . I observe that the Reforme of Monday was seized , by order of the Procu-BE \ ir-Geserai , for reprinting the Address of the French exiles , which appeared in last Saturday ' s Star , That seizure has induced the
Letters To The Wokk1ng Classes. Lxxii. "...
Reforme to give expression to the following admirable sentiments : — The government knows very well that it cannot wear out our courage , but it hopes , perhaps , to fatigue the patience of our subscribers by the repeated seizures which deprive them of their journal . It is only to such a calculation we can ascribe the seizure of our number of this morning . The pretext is the address of our exiled friends in London to tbo English democrats ; bnt where does the
government expect to find a French jury to condemn the sentiments or expressions of tliat address , which breathed the love of country and humanity . Xo ? geuUevnen , yon shall no niorc subdue our courage than curb our convictions , and for the patriots who read the iff / ormc your persecutions will boa reason the more to remain faithful to us . Our cause is the cause of truth and right . Truth cannot perish , and , against right , majorities themselves cannot prevail .
. Surel y , no jury will be found base enough to condemn the liefarme for republishing a document which had been freely circulated in Monarchical , Anstocraticai England . This reckless crusade against the Press , and against the Republicans generally , is beginning to fail . Recently , in the departments , a great number of journalists and others , prosecuted by the government , have been acquitted . It is to be hoped that the same good fortune is in store for the Reforme .
The Emperor of Austria lias sent his portrait , richly framed , as a present to the President Buonaparte , accompanied by an autograph letter , thanking the imperial " " Special Constable" for the services he has rendered to the cause of " Order . " He has likewise received a letter from the Pope , in wliich that Holy Judas thanks the " Special" for having freed the Roman States " from the oppression of an anarchical and anti-chvistian faction . " This " latest news , " is accompanied by " alarming accounts " of the vast and open progress of Red Republicanism in the departments .
In Germany and Ital y the soldiers of Freedom are full of-heart and hope , and burning with impatience to measure swords , with the myrmidons of Tyranny . The most horrible terrorism reigns in Hungary , but the secret circulation of "Kossuth medals , " and other circumstances , indicate that the Magyars , though betrayed and beaten , will , at . tho first favourable moment , rally again to assert the liberties of their native hind . I conclude
this letter by noticing a characteristic specimen of Austrian rule . A letter from Venice states , that a few days ago a poor old fruit woman , near the Rialto , enraged at a Croat who took her fruit without payment , loudly cursed the Austrians . She was immediately publicly flogged in the Piazza St . Marco . She was covered with blood when the execution was over , and . cursed tho Austrians again . The punishment was repeated , but this time she cursed not , for she was dead !
0 , Brother Proletarians , men of England , whose hearts abhor oppression and cruelty , will you not curse these Austriaus — their emperor—their chiefs—and all who are allied with , or countenance such a crew of savages , assassins , and hell-begotten ruffians ? Will you not swear that when next the nations rise against their torturers , as they soon will do , you will march with your brothers to share the perils and triumphs of freedom ' s great crusade ?

allottees and tho Directors , also letters that the allottees had scntto the Manchester Examiner , Times , and other papers . After a lengthy discussion , Mr . Donovan moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting is of opinion that the National Land Company should bo wound up ; not that we believe it to be " impracticable , but owing to the fact of a majority of the located members having conspired to pay no rent , whilst others say they cannot . We wish the Company to ho wound up for the purpose ofeottm ? rid . of the parties above mentioned , as well as other discontented persons , and further , with a view to the organisation of a Xew Company , that will admit of none but tried Democrats , aiid men pledged to carry out the principles laid down , regardless of any difficulty that may bo thrown in their way , let it come from what source it may . "Mr . Lindsev moved : — " That the meeting had ho
faith in the Land Company , or of its being earned out . "—Mr . Elliott could not apree with Mr . Donovan ' s resolution , as he did not wish tho Company to be wound up . Di \ therefore , nhoultl move an amendment : — " That the Directors use every exertion to get the Company completely registered . In the event of not succeeding ' , they should apply to parliament for an act to allow the Company to be wound up . "—Mr . Lindsev withdrew his amendment , consequently Mr . Donovan ' s resolution , and Mr . Elliott ' s amendment wns put to the vote , when Mr . Donovan ' s resolution was passed by a considerable majority . John Sutton , chairman ; James Alcoek , scrutineer ; William Foster , secretary . [ A meeting which appeared in the Star , of Saturday last should have been headed Blackburn , and not Manchester . The mistake arose from our not having been furnished with full information . ]
C ' ocKKBMOfTir . —We , the four paid up members of the Cockermouth branch , highly approve of the prompt measures taken by Mr . O ' Connor against the dishonest portion of the located members , who not only arc the cause of disappointing the fair prospects of hundreds of poor members like otirselves , who have paid up for four acres ever since the beginning of 'forty-six , hut arc actually wishing to rob us of ourhard earned monies . AYcare satisfied that they have had not only sufficient time granted them to pay the rent due , but they have been much too leniently dealth with ; and Mr . O'Connor will best serve the interests of the company , by rejecting all such base characters as speedily as possible , otherwise , the ingratitude and dishonesty of those uavtwa "Kill be the meMva of causing the Companv to wind up its affairs , to the "veat disappointment of the undersigned , John Simpson , Gcorc Teat , Josep h Fletcher , and Joseph
Bell . CiuBiisr xxn Laxd Festival at Great Dodronn . —The residents of this Estate held their Christmas Festival on Tuesday , at tho cottage of Henry Green , late of Leicester . The festival was commenced by a splendid tea , consisting of choice cake and bread and butter , the latter of which was produced upon the estate . After doing ample justice to tho viands , Mr . J . Finly was called to the chair , and the party at once proceeded to enliven the meeting by patriotic and sentimental songs , recitations and speeches , all breathing the ennobling sentiments of man ' s inalienable rights . The health and happiness of our noble chief was freuuently alluded to in the course of the evening ; as also was the Pennine of all countries , introduced as examples

worthy of imitation ; in fine the whole was a re-echo of what we so frequently read in tho People ' s Paper . The affairs of the Land Conference were then discussed , and the following resolution was unanimously carried : —• ' We the residents of the Great Dodford Estate , having heard with regret tho decision of some of the located members refusing to comply with the Company ' s just demands , in the payment of four per cent , per annum as a rentcharge upon the outlay of the Company ' s capital , hereby state , that we hold all such men in utter abhorrence and detestation , for thciv conduct ; and that we are willing—compatible with our own security—to make any arrangement with the directors , to empower them to eject , by Jaw , such men from their holdings ; and we call upon the right-minded located
and unlocated members of the Company to aid us in ridding the society of all such unprincipled scoundrels ; yet we are of opinion that the directors are hound to giro to every located member , in writing , tho valuation of his land and cottage at the time of taking possession ; and wc , therefore , urge upon the directory to give each of us our entire liabilities to the Company , so that when rent day « omes wc may know what we have to pay , and , consequently , be prepared to meet it . " n-n , "eetli' £ t , ieu ° P ° "cd a subscription to aid Mr . 0 Connor in the case of Macnamara ; and wo are only sorry that our present limited means would not allow us to quadruple the sum , for we arc quite sure nothing can servo us and our chief , but by amply supplying all law-made victims with the
means oi ueience . The following is the sum subscribed , 20 s „ which we herewith inclose , payable to Mr . Wm . Aider , from Henry Green , Secretary . I have now given a brief outline of our first social meeting , and hope that , as time advances , we shall bo able to repeat our meeting ; and also to show the country that we are not apathetic or indifferent to the well being of our enslaved brethren ; that Although -wo are in our natural position , as regards the working of the soil , yet wc hold the duty to be imperative to aid all wc can , both by example and purse—the cause of the people . And I trust we shall never bo behind in doing according to our utmost ability . One tiling we are very deficient of , that is a school-room , as a place of meeting—but we live in the hopes of the good time coming , to be supplied with this desideratum .
Svnviiivr monitions to the above have been adopted at Bishopwcarmouth , Bradford , and Darlington ,
To Feakgus O'Connolc Esq., M.P. Most Hon...
TO FEAKGUS O'CONNOlC ESQ ., M . P . Most Honoured Pauent , —For such you are to me , as I will briefly explain to you . In lSi-11 was in business as a hair-dresser , and seeing your letters in the Star— " The Laxd , the Laxd "—I was greatly taken with it . Just then you brought out your first number of tho Small Farm book . I believe I sold thirty of them for a man called Smith , who , 1 believe , cheated , you out of them , and all he had from you . But , however , I took eight acres of land —and very poor—and tho first year I planted most of it with potatoes—that being the year the disease took place , and having so many eggs in one basket it was a great smash for mo ; but , however , sir ,
the pleasure to me is inexpressible as , using your words , every day to me is a laughing holiday . I keep two men constantly , and pay fifty-fouvpounds per year for the Land . My house is more than one mile from it , but I sell my produce mostly at my house . Mr . Clark and Air . Doyle have both visited my place , and if you mention " Farmer ltogors , as they termed me , thoy will tell you the difficulties by which I am surrounded . But , dear sir , when 1 hear tho ungratefulness of those rascals who have been so bountifully supplied with house and Land , and cannot make it do , I do say they ought to be driven out of the bounds of useful society . But , dear sir , a friend of mine sent you a letter two days since , without putting down his address , wliich is ,
Henry Wmnacott , at Mr . Henry Grose ' s , 3 , Tavistock-strcet , Devcnport . Please , sir , send and sav when , to the latest , you are to pay the final purchase money for Mathon ; the term I xow noi . n is nearly expired , and my land is now in beautiful order , hut if I can get ou Mathon on the terms unfriend s-ated—he has paid £ 210 towards eight acres ' , and his cousin is going to send for ei ght acres more , and go out of business , and the question of time with him is all-important . —If thoy send you £ 000 for sixteen acres , and if all is taken up , will yon reserve eight awes of Mathon cut of your deposit until they effect tho mortgage of their sixteen acres , as , sir , I think with them , that sixteen acres mortgaged will be sufficient to buy eight acres more for me , and
then we will show them that are dissatisfied what can be done with Land ? I have , this last week , been over to Jersey and havo witnessed the style of farming , but 1 see they cannot grow the heavy root crops that we do , or ' can do . I was examining a field by a road , and a gentleman seeing I was a stranger , asked me to accompany him to his farm , which I did , and lunched with him ; his name is John Hume , Esq ., President to the Hoyal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of Jersey . He had a largo farm in Ireland , bat he left it , he told me , for fear of being assassinated , as he was warned of it . His farm was near Wicklow , but I have forgot tho place . He kept two men at work constantly . Ho has two milch cows , two two years' old , live beautiful ycai lings , seven pigs , three sheep , two horses , and all those ho keeps upon ten acres ; he pays
ei g ht pounds per acre ,- and keeps a balanqe-sbeet of all his outgoings and his incomes , which , next year , he will publish . lie has published an account of three Jerseys , which I have enclosed , which , no doubt , sir , will afford you some pleasure . He told mo that he told Mr . O'Council he would live nowhere to bcassaisiiiatod , but would always vote for whom he choose ; it was for some major , but whom now I cannot say . If , sir , you can afford time to give mo au answer , you would greatly obliiie your devoted , ami , I hope , a staunch Guard , and the ' late secretary for Dcvonport branch , 19 , Granby-street , James Rogers . Devon port . [ I answered Mr . Winnacott ' s letter by return of post , and directed it to him , " Dcvonport ; " If he alls at the Post-office there he will receive it . P . O'Cossoh . ]

TO FEAltGUS O'COSSOB , ESQ .., M . P . Dkai : Sin , —Wc , the members of the Chartist Association ofthe Norwich district , send you our sincere thanks for the interest you have ' always taken in behalf of the working classes , You , sir , descended from the lap of aristocracy , and have sacrificed friends and relations , and ' taken your place foremost in the ranks of democracy , anil in return have received nothing but prosecution and persecution from the ruling power , and abuse aud ingratitude from those for whom you have spent thousands , and the best part of your life , to benefit . We alsb congratulate you on your late visit to Ireland , and we hope that you have laid the foundation of a cordial union between the two countries , which wc believe to be requisite before we can gain anything in the shape of liberty . In reference to your appeal to the Cliartists , for Macnamara ' s
case , I enclose you a Post-oftico order for £ l 3 s . Gd ., which is the third pound that 1 have sent for thnt purpose . Dear Sir , we hope for the future that you will not make use of such benevolent sentiments as you made in your appeal . You say , that if you had millions yon would defend ' every Chartist prisoner . Such sentiments give the power to the enemy to prosecute ; and it also drives some spirited young men beyond tho bounds of prudence , in the idea that you will defend them . Vou say there arc millions of men who cheer , and hold up their hands at public meetings , but will not pay a penny forthe Charter , or anything else . No , sir , that is left to a few individuals in each locality . Hoping that you will not take my writing to you amiss , i subscribe myself , on behalf of the Norwich Chartists , * Conrad Spiuxcall . Norwich . St . Martin's-at-Oak .
P . S . —In reference to the Land Company , I am instructed by the members , to say , that thciv opinions are the same as the members ofthe Aberdeen branch , viz .: —If the' Company is not speedily settled in the Court of Queen's Bench , the liabilities will swamp tho Company , and therefore , they recommend that the affairs of the Company be wound up as soon as possible . C . S .

TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Respected Sir , — -As a member ofthe Land Company , although not a paid up ono , owing to want of work ; ami as I have been a reader ofthe Star since its commencement . I- have always admired your honesty to the well-being of the working classes , and more " especially , in spending your time ami money upon a people , who are not prepared to do as they would like to bo done to . Now , sir , I would like to ask what we can look for , when the Charter is the law ofthe land , if the people cannot stand by and protect and support the only real friend they have , both in and out of parliament ? It grieves me , to see you so much abused by the press ; but , siv , you cannot expuet any other tiling from that quarter . lam ashamed that thoss you have done so much for sliould turn their backs upon you ;
but fear not , sir , you have friends everywhere that will honour ' your name and protect your character . ^ ov , sir , I would give you my humble advice , and that is , to wind up the affairs , of the Land Company , and give all the grumblers up their money , and by so doing you will sift the chaff from the wheat . Believe mc , sir , when I entered the Company I never expected to get on the Land , for I am unfit for that work , but I was willing to do all I could for tho good of my country ; and , if the Company was broken up to-morrow , I would say , do what you think best with my money , for I would bo ashamed to look for a single farthing back . Now , sir , I hope you will excuse mo for writing to you , but I think it is the duty of every working man to lift up his voice , and put to silence all your and our enemies ; and if the located members cannot pay

In the course of the same evening , the cook , who had returned home after spending tho day out , came to the prosecutor in Oxford-terrace , and from
what she communicated to him , he hastily iepaired to his dwelling , and found thnt drawers , dusks , « fce ., had been forced open , and a largo quantity of valuable property stolen ; one of the articles alone , which was a brooch set with diamonds , was worth 130 guineas .

Her b & xcs were searched , but no portion of the lost property was discovered in cither of them . — The
prisoner , on being asked what she had to say , replied that she luciv that sho had done wrong in admitting one of whom she knew so little into her master ' s * premises , and sho could come to no other opinion than that the guilty parties must he the man , assisted by the woman by whom the noto from him had been scut , as she had before alluded to .
