Hh Emi* Earzros,—Ever Anee The. Cohveatw...
hh EmI * Earzros , —Ever anee the . CoHveatwa feaiated itiui & e & its sittings , I have been busily engaged in atettemptatfemptio give effect to the Land plan that we aniinasln Vuianimous ly adopted . Since then , 1 liavc been hiking oo % feg out for land , and instructing myself as to its nneyvalmey value : and the result of my research is the owledg « bwiedgethat at all times the Society would be able , tlthout dthout delay or difficulty , to apply its funds to the wrebase trehase of land . I have seen many farms that are Ibesoldbesold , and others that are to be let . There is , e , efarm , efarm of 113 acres , within half a mile of the Rel it ite Static Station , and about twenty-two miles from Lonn m . Itin . It is good land , and its price is about £ 4 , 000 .
fjjpontbpon the fans there is a quarry of Fullers ' -eartb , iiirwbicir which a solvent tenant offers £ 100 per annum ; »» that * that the real amount to be paid for the land would e e £ 2 , 0 e £ 2 , 000 . You * ill bear in mind that I estimated h he prihe price of land in the country districts , at a ceniiderabiderabledistance from the metropolis , at £ 18 15 s . itieracneracre ; and also recollect that within twenty-two miles miles of London , with the advantage of a railroad nruiffiiirunning within half a mile of it—that is , within an thour' & our ' s journey of fhe metropolis—it would be much D more more valuable . But with my imperfect knowledge 9 af theaf the marketable price of English land , let us sec if 31 wasl was much out in my estimate . One hundred and i ihirtcihirteen acres , at £ 18 15 s . per acre , would sell for i £ 2 , 1 ] £ 2 , 118 5 s .: and we can get it for £ 118 5 s . less .
So Sow , the farm of which I speak is more advanta-; geouigeoualy situated , and is better land than 1 made my i caletcateulation npon ; and thus I have established the i feci , feet , that we can get land for that price . I have not , i fcowfcowever , received a singleanswer , asyct , to my appeal of It of last week : and therefore I shall not longer allow you , you , negligent as you are , to remain destitute of that prat practical knowledge which will alone urge you to the esp experiment . I believe , in my conscience , that the £ sti establishment of one home colony , consisting of thirty ind independent small farmers , would present to your tni minds the miniature of that great revolution which , at at any given moment , you are capable of producing , v ? l without reference to , or dependence upon , ihcvrtU , th < the policy , or the caprice of your rulers .
1 have frequently told you that I never would reco commend the people to do a single act that I was not pi prepared to take part in myself ; and now that all » i vihers are speculating in your labour and growing li rich upon your weakness ; and when you require a | ii giraeiical illustration of the only principle which , if s saiionally carried out , can make you free ; and when y you arc cither too indolent , too suspicious , or too 1 unthrifty , to try it yourselves , I will endeavour to try i it for you . I will endeavour to try it on a small i scale—saysomethirty or thirty-five cottages wltlisuit-; able oni-offices , kitchen garden , and an acre of land : attached to each cottage ; and , as the first colonists , ' . 2 propose locating that number of London
Shoemakers on certain conditions . I select those parties lor two reasons : firstly , because those of that body ? rho have been energetically endeavouring to carry out the plan , are amongst the best and foremost of j & e Chartist rants ; and secondly , because I think I can locate them to their entire fancy and advantage , en ' s , spot where they will be within an eighteen-penny lri » to London in a covered third-class carriage . I understand that it is a part of their plan to carry on jhek trade in their own cottages , and to send one of their body to London with and for their work ; thus saving 29-30 ths of the expense . That is , instead of ta : h paying 3 s . to go and come , each will pay very little more than a penny . Xow this is co-operative labour and individual possession .
J propose , if I succeed in obtaining possession of the land , to make the offer to Philip M'Grath to become the patron of tills first colony . I have not seen him to mention it to him ; but I select him , tecause , without any manner of exception , he is one of the most unexceptionable men I ever met in my Jife . In fact , 1 defy any man , gentle or simple , to be scguainted with M'Grath without admiring him , respecting him , and honouring him . Of course I would allot more land to him . If I succeed in this fost experiment , and to do so no effort of mine shall he spared , I shall then establish another colony , perhaps larger ; and if he is willing , I wiMocate the good and faithful Doyle there , and then Clark in another . I don't mention Wheeler just now , because } don ' t think we can spare him from London until tb » wlan IjeeoHKS almost national .
The terms upon winch each holding will be let to the occupier , —if I succeed as I hope to do , —will bo on lease for ever , on the following conditions . - —That zac lease be forfeited if the lessee sub-let to any minister receiving any salary or endowment from the State ; to any banker , distiller , brewer , attorney , or 2 t < any person that would carry on the trade of pawnfovker , or seller of malt liquor or spirits : and the carrying on of any of those trades or businesses -omd amount to the forfeiture of the lease . I have kamed so much upon the subject of the land—that is , of the facility withjwhkk we could purchase
itwithin the last three weeks , that never did baby fei tor toy , or schoolboy for a holiday , as I now long & celebrate the establishment of the first Home Colony . Every wise man that I converse with upon Ihe subject is * with me heart and soul ; while the ffoplc themselves are lavishing and squandering every Saturday night upon debasing , tmhealthy , intoxicating stuff , as much as woidd lay the foundation tf England ' s future greatness . It will be the proudest day of my life when I see : 1 c first batch of colonists entering their " own
tasks . " 1 hope over every chimney-piece to sec a isaiiei and bayonet : and if we had a hundred thousand of them , * wc might then write essays , as the jaorai force Irish repealers do , setting forth the phy-? j « i ! capabilities of free . Englishmen who might ihen de f y the foreign intruder and the domestic tyrant In conclusion , my Mends , for the one thousandth time , I teliyo'n tfcaiyoa have no possible hope of redemption save in the Land I Your faithful friend and servant , Feahgcs O'Goxsor .

«¦'¦¦» - I - «*¦ ¦¦¦* . ¦ »«*—W—l » WP ^ . FRANCE . O'Cosxeu . as » toe Fbexch PeeSs . — The Journal < kt Btbats , of Wednesday , contains a long article upon Mr . O'Council , descriptive of what it calls the paerilities with which he strikes the imagination of irishmen , and joining in the utter scorn with which thai person had inspired the impartial lookers-on in all countries . The Debate exposes the beggarly motives by which the Irish agitator is carried away , dismissing him with expressions of the utmost conitinpt . The following is an extract from the article . ~ " What has became of the grand hero of repeal ? ale has gone to have some sporting on his property , or he has invented some new puerilities to strike the imagmation of his Irishmen . Thus he has organised
¦ a club in honour of the declaration of independence « f J 782 . The object of the club is to encourage the national manufactures of Ireland , and therefore its members are only to be clad in native articles .

the rear-guard of a convoy and about 500 Kabyles , who attacked it . The enemy were beaten off , with the loss of several killed and twenty prisoners . The French , who had only eight killed and fifteen wounded , captured 300 head of cattle , and made other boot }* . Another affair of slight importance took place on the following day . Marshal Bugeaud states , that in the evening of the 14 th some tribes made their submission . Hie entire insurrection in the Ouarensenis was caused , he says , by the same Scheriff who raised the Dahra , and who presented himself as a kind of nrophet sent by God to deliver Algeria from the Christians . Two other impostors , however , are stated to have appeared , one in the Mountain and the otber in the Pahra .
Abmcaiiox of Dox Carlos . —The Times of Thursday says : —Our ordinary express has brought us the Paris papers of Tuesday , with our usual correspond ence . The latter announces the abdication of Don Carlos in favour of his son , the Prince of the Asturias . "This event , " says our correspondent , " was announced to the King of the French yesterday by a special envoy , who is , I am assured , at this moment in the Palace of the Tnileries . Don Carlos has accompanied that'bnnal communication by a demand of peiwission to go whither he will , ' there being now no reason for continuing him in captivity . '"
SPAIN . The Pope axh the Spanish Government . —The statements which appeared in the daily papers last week , relative to the conclusion of an alliance between the Pope and the present Government , and the recognition by the former o £ Queen Isabella , appear to have been premature and not well founded . Madrid journals of the 18 th , state that considerable excitement has been caused hi the Spanish capital by the arrival of dispatches from Home of a character widely different from those which had been so long
expected . Instead of a concordat healing the differences between the Holy See and the Government of Spain , a recognition of the Queen , and a confirmation of the sales of the Church property , all that the Pope has done is to submit a temporary convention , the nature of which has not transpired , bntwhichliasled to repeated meetings of the Cabinet . We gather from a private letter that the rumour most credited states that the Pope stipulates for something like a state provision for the clergy , equal perhaps to the value of the property of which they have boon dispossessed . The " MinsEiiLAisE" jv Spai . v . — A letter from
Madrid , of the 17 ths ; irs ;— "Amongst other means of excitement , the Progressists have got printed and offered for general sale , at the low price of two reals ( ten sous French ) , the music and words of the ' Marseillaise . ' The advertisement of this publication , which appears in the Clamor Publico , the Eco del CmnYaercw , and the Espectador , says : —* This popular air is dedicated to the people , in order that they may sing it whenever the partizans of despotism shall make any attempt against Spanish liuertj . " Tire Castellano says that the document received from the Holy See is prepared with much artifice , so far as the sale of the national property is concerned . It is given to be understood that the Pope
will pardon those who committed the tault of buying the church goods . His Holiness also conveys his expectation that , at a suitable opportunity , certain convents shall be restored , besides a number of minor points , all more or less of an offensive character . So unlooked-for a contradiction of the repeated assurances and vaunts o f ministers , has placed tliem in a most painful situation . It is said that their vengeance will fall , in the first instance , upon M . Castillo , who allowed his diplomatic eyes to be so completely blindfolded . The Carlists pretend that the Pope stipulates for the marriage of the Queen with the son of Don Carlos ^ Upon the Bourse much agitation prevails , and the funds are going down .
Sjvrvaez A . \ n tue Pope . —The Madrid journals of the 20 th continue their remarks upon what they generally consider the failure of thenegocintions with Rome . The Ministerial journal , the HeraMo , while it gives some colour to the prevailing rumours , nevertheless denies that anything more serious than an embarrassing incident has arisen which calls for the exercise of discretion and moderation to remove it out of the way of a complete adjustment of inferences . Xarvaez is said to have displayed much anger
at what he believes the duplicity and bad faith of the Ilflly Sec . He looks upon the Spanish Ambassador as having been duped by verbal promises , of a studiously doubtfid nature , and threatens that he will , with his own hand , nullify the law passed for the restoration of the unsold Church property . VnonooATiox of tub Comes . — The Queen of Spain closed the session of the Cortes in person on the 23 rd hist . The new constitution was promulgated the same day . [ How long will it be before the next " new constitution" is promulgated ?]
SWIT 2 £ RLAiXH . Dr .. Sieiger . —The following appeared in the Herald of Tuesday : —The Swiss and Paris journals equally agree in stating that the sentence upon Dr . Steiger w 3 l be commuted to banishment to America . M . Guizot and Prince Mettcrnieh insisted that the Government of Lucerne should not stain its triumph by an act of unnecessary cruelty . The example thus set has been followed by the citizens , who have petitioned in favour of other prisoners , and are collecting subscriptions for the ransom of some who have not the means of baying then . ' liberty . Among the petitions in favour of l ) r . Steiger , is one from 300 servant women .
PERU . Letters have been ' received from Callao , come down to the Stli March . There is much more confidence felt that the Government will be placed on a permanent basis than after any of the previous revolutions which have followed each other in quick succession for the last twenty years . The elections were to take place in about a fortnight after the date of the accounts , and there was no doubt but Castillo would be made President by universal assent . Castillo has only been known as a military man , but his manners arc simple , and it may be held as no unequivocal proof of his integrity of character , that amidst the scenes of domestic turbulence through which he has passed , when the rights of property were disregarded , and when he had many opportunities of sharing the spoil , he has remained uncontaminated and
comparatively poor . Ellias , the champion ot constitutional government , states in Ms letters that he has great confidence in Castillo ' s acting with prudence and moderation , and although he would rather have seen an end entirely put to military ascendancy , there was no choice left under the circumstances . Ellias and his friends maintain a perfectly good understand ing with Castillo , and the hope is that after his election to the presidency , measures will be progressively taken to disband the army and remove all apprehension of any more military revolutions . L ' pon the whole , therefore , the accounts from Peru are looked upon in a more favourable light than for years past , and if the expectations formed are fulfilled , the country will make rapid strides in improvement under a steady and enlightened administration of its affairs .
INDIA AND CHINA—OVERLAIvD MAIL . Loxnos , SiTocnAT Mobxesg , May 24 . —The Overland Mail , by extraordinary express from Marseilles , arrived in London this morning . The dates by this mail are , Calcutta to the 8 th of April , Bombay to the 5 th , Madras to the Uth , China to the 11 th ol Fchruarv , Suez to the 4 th of May , and Alexandria to the 11 th . The news thus received is comparatively unimportant ; thecliieffeatHreisaconfimiationofthe previous accounts o f Sir Charles Napier ' s expedition against the Beloochees , and the surrender of Bejat
Khan , their chief , and a large body ot his followers . Fr om the Punjaub there is nothing fresh , unless the continuation of the squabbles and attempts to overreach each other of Ghoolab Singh , and the Khalsas ; and the confirmation of the statement that Janiboo Rajah had at length consented to purchase the neutrality of these troops by a devour to them of thirty-six lakhs of rupees . The Anglo-Indian army that was collecting on the Sutlaj had pretty well takenfup it position , but was not expected to make auv further movement uidess an absolute necessity
should arise . Suez , Mat 4 . —Wc received accounts from Judda during the past week of a very sanguinary piece ot business that has recently occurred under the direction of the present governor , Osman Pacha , in fact , a second llamelukc tragedy . It appeals there are certain tribes of Arabs inhabiting the country through which the pilgrims pass to Mecca , and on a late occasion some Turks , returning from Mecca , having complained to the Pacha that they had been ill-used by the Arabs , an order was sent for the Sheiks ' to attend the Dewan at Judda , but the Arabs would not attend the summons
without some guarantee for their safety ; at last thev were induced to accept the pledge of a merchant in whom they ( the Arabs ) had some confidence , and having met at Osman Pacha ' s Dewan the subject of complaint was discussed , in which the Arabs are said to have proved the complaints made against them to be without foundation . The poor Sheiks were then dismissed , andtoldthey mightretirc to their homes ; but sad to tell not one of them ever reached them , for about an hour after they had taken their departure a detachment of Turkish cavalry was sent after them , and cut every man to pieces , not only the Sheiks , but all their followers ; uotoae wsleft to carry home the tale .

WEST IxXDIES . SociHAMPro . v , Friday Eveslvg . —The Royal Mail Company ' s steam-ship Avon arrived here this even * ingwith the West India Mail . She brings 300 , 000 dollars in specie and gold dust , and sixty-nine passengers . The advices from Jamaica are to the 24 th April . HowuBLE Tragedy . —Mubdee , Absox , axd Attempt at Suicide 11—Jamaica , Afkil 23 . — About twenty minutes past one a . m . yesterday , the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of the General Penitentiary were aroused by an alarm of fire . The police from the Penitentiary station proceeded immediately to the spot whence it was heard to issue—which was discovered ' . to be a negro-yard opposite the station .
On arriving there , about six yards in front of the rooms , a man was seen lying on the ground , apparently dead , and a woman wounded crying over him . The cry . of . fire being kept up , but no flames or smofe being visible , they went on towards the rear of the premises , when one of the Emancipados ( by a number of whom' the premises as well as the neighbourhood . . were occupied ) was met , pointing to a wound on his aim , and giving the police to understand that the man who had wounded hint and the other man and the woman , was in the house . On looking through the crevices of the shutter flames and smoke were perceived to fill the room , and a man was perceived within with a cutlass in his hands . Mr . Heels , the
superintendent at the General Penitentiary , who had in the meantime come over with two suboi « - dinate . officers' of . therJBSJatritibhy- advised the mob ( which had rapidly vMtoeliy ' and the police to batter in the place ; and this was immediately commenced . The jalousie and doors were soon burst open , and then the place was discovered to be in flames—the man who had bee » nccn hishle , was seen to rush to the door with a cutlass in his hand , and flourish it , as if at some one , though nobody was in his reacii . The brickbats continued to be thrown , and one of them striking the man as he flourised the cutlass , knocked him down , and his cutlass fell from Ms hand . He got up , staggered into the flames , presently came out covered with blood , and ,
exlubitbig a large gash on his throat , fell down near abed ^ vhichwas on fire . Andrew Brodic , one of the officers of the Penitentiary , then went in and dragged him from mvkv the bed , whither he had crawled , observing that something , though he could not make out what it was , fell from his hand . He then was carried to the cage , together with the man who was found with the wound on his arm . The man over whom the woman was seen crying , being discovered to be quite dead , with frightful wounds all over the body , his mangled corpse was removed without the premises over against the Penitentiary wall
and the woman , who was also dreadfully , and ( there appears scarcely any doubt ) fatally wounded , was removed to the hospital . It appears that the author of these horrible crimes is an Emancipado , wholatelyeame to this country from Havannali ; the unfortunato . victim having been the murderer ' s benefactor , and the other man equally so , as well as the three women ; all of whom this monster in his savage fury has more or less seriously wounded , Wo may here observe that no cause has been assigned—no origin o f the circumstances arrived at ; unless , indeed , we arc to allow the prisoner ' s assertion that he was first attacked , and only acted in self-defence , to be any satisfactory mode of accounting for it .
News rno . u HAm . —GeneiYil Herard , who , as we noticedinourlasts ! immary , ; hadsailcdfor Haiti , onapproachjng the shores of that island , found it advisable not to land , and returned , bringing with him the pilot who had boarded his vessel off L'Anse-Veau to Port Antonio ; and , alter remaining there a day or two , again sailed , ostensibly for St . Thomas , leaving his f oreign crew behind him , and hiring Jamaicans to navigate his vessel . II . M . S . Spartan was sent after him on the 11 th , to make Ids vessel a prize , it is said , for some breach of the navigation and Customs laws . Haiti in the meantime has been in much commotion , sevwal of UcravtVs partisans are said to have been shot , numbers arrested , and rewards offered for the heads or aircst of others—among them of course the largest for the head of Herard . There was a report also of a revolution having taken place in the Spanish part of the island , which had resulted in Santana being deposed from the Presidency , and replaced by General Rcgla Mota .

The National. Land Petition. Mr. Duncomb...
THE NATIONAL . LAND PETITION . Mr . Duncombe having kindly consented to present the following petition , we , the members of the Executive , call upon all thelocalities in the kingdom to get up meetings and adopt the same , getting the members of Parliament for the town or county ( where practicable ) , to present the petition—where this is impracticable , let their petition be sent to T . S . Duncombc , Esq . By these means we shall be enabled to force the question of the Land upon the attention of the house . T . M . Wmeeleu , Secretary . To Hit / fonouwiWc tin Commons of Gmt Britain and Ire land in Parliament aSsemWcrt . The petition of the inhabitants of Lambeth in public meeting assembled ,
Shew-ETU , —That the working classes of the united kingdom have for a long series of years suffered the most galling want and privation , consequent wpow ott ¦ unnatural social system . That during the last fifty years the trade and commerce of the country have increased enormously ; that the triumphs of inventive genius have given us the most astounding powers for the produce of wealth ; but that , notwithstanding , there has been a visible deterioration in the physical , social , and moral condition of our much-abused and deeply-injured labouring population .
That your petitioners , with feelings of pain , call the attention of your aomnwable howse to the voluminous criminal calendar of the past year , as a proof of the lamentable condition to which the people are reduced . Your petitioners would likewise add , that the astounding revelation made a short time ago in your honourable house , by the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment , that * ' one of every ten of the population of England and Wales is a pauper , " is another added to the long catalogue of proofs of the horrible destitution to which the producers of wealth have been reduced by the baleful operation of the iniquitous system of misrule under which it is their misfortune to live ,
That in the opinion of your petitioners the destitution and crime existing in the country may be tw . ced either to the existence of bad laws or to the want of good ones ; and that ofaU had laves upon tlic statute-book , tliose that prevent the working ctescs from employing their kikour upon tlieir native soil—upon God's free gift to his creatures—are the most destructive in tlteir consequences , ami unnatural in their operation . That your petitioners have observed with indignation , that whilst your honourable house has at all times
squandered the public money upon objects the most unworthy—such as £ 70 , 000 for the purpose of building royal stables ; £ 21 , 000 a-ycar to his Majesty of Hanover ; £ 50 , 000 annually to another foreign monarch , leopold , King of the Belgians ; £ 20 , 000 , 000 as compensation to the unnatural , the anti-Christian traffickers in human flesh and blood , for reUnquisliing their claim to what they never had a right to—your honourable house has not evinced the slightest inclination to legislate for the elevation of the labouring population from their prostrate and degraded condition .
That your petitioners would call the attention of your honourable house to the fact that a vast portion of the common iaxm of the kingdom has been seized by the aristocracy under the guise of law ; that your petitioners conceive that the people's right to the common lands is clear and indisputable ; that the reversion of the tca millions of acres of common lands to the people would be productive of incalculable benefit ; that those ten millions of acres might he divided into tivo millions of farms of five acres each , upon which two millions of families might be located , and surrounded with circumstances of health , peace , and prosperity ; and that the location of even hah ihe aforesaid number of families upon the land would take the " surplus population" fvotn the artificiallnbouv market , leaving the residue in a position to secure an equitable remuneration for their toil .
Your petitioners , therefore , pray your honourablchouse to repeal all acts for the enclosure of common lands , and restore them to the people , their legitimate owners ; and that your honourable house will be pleased to address her -Majesty to devote a sum of money for the employment of the " surx ) hts population" on such lands , which sum may be realised ly reducing the civil list , the army and navy , and other Governmental expenses ; thereby reducing the poor rates , and giving an impetus to a valuable and « alutary home trade . And your pefitioners will ever pray .
LONDON . Meeting at Bebmosdsey . —Regisiraiion . as » t « Land . —An overflowing meeting was held at the Working Man ' s Chapel , Hockhead , Bermonilsey , on Wednesday evening , May 28 th . Shortly after eight o ' clock Mr . Gathard was unanimously called to the chair and briefly opened the proceedings . He concluded his address by introducing Mr . C . Doyle to move the first resolution as follows : — " That in the opinion of this meeting , it is the inalienable right of the working classes to have their fair share of control over local and national affairs , ov , in other words , that they should have a voice in the making of those laws which they are compelled to obey ; $ md as it »
The National. Land Petition. Mr. Duncomb...
a well-known fact that they ( the working classes ) are neither locally nor nationally represented in the councils of . the nation , this meeting earnestly recommends that the Parliamentary and Election plan adopted by the late Chartist Convention be taken up with energy and spirit by the people throughout the country ,-in order that at the next Parliamentary election a sufficient number of Chartist candidates maybe elected , to force upon the Government and legislature the-necessity of making the people ' s Charter the law of the land . " Mr . Doyle said , he . was most happy to find so large a meeting assembled for the consideration of such important subjects . It required very little reasoning to prove that the working classes had as much right to the frfijftchise as the middle and upper classes ; nayif any
, cites , was to be the sole possessors of the governing power , surely it should be the working class , seeing that they produced the necessaries and luxuries consumed by all . ( Loud cheers . ) But there were those who possessed so much effrontery as to dare say that we should not know how to use the franchise if we had it . His answer to that was , try us . ( Loud cheers . ) But the vices of society were not so much traceable to the . people ' s ignorance as to the viciousness and ignorance of the Taw-makers . ( Great cheering . ) It was quite time the working classes demanded of the aiiatoevacy by what authority they held an exclusive right of making the laws which affected the liberties and lives of all , ( Loud cheers . ) He could not allow of the right of the few to govern to the exclusion of
thejuany , ( Cheers . ) - The laws ofnatm-o did not authorise such distinctions . ' { Hear-hear , ) One of her Majesty's Ministers had rec & d $$ iid , that one out of every ten of the people was a pauper—( nanie name)—oh , he had the same by heart , Sir James Graham—yet the aristocracy and the bishops were not reckoned amongst that list of paupers . ( Hear , hear . ) No , the Archbishop of Canterbury obtained . £ 30 , 000 per annum for worse than nothing , for preaching passive obedience and non-resistance to bad laws—doctrines that he ( Mr . Doyle ) repudiated , ( Loud cheers . ) If the present system cttntomicu , he should not be surprised if one out of every five of the working classes were reduced to pauperism . ( Hear , hear . ) In many parts of the
country , especially the midland counties , the wages of the workmen were reduced to' five shillings per week , whilst tlieir cmployevs , the manufacturers , made many thousands per annum . But it was unnecessary to direct their attention to . the country , whilst so much distress , misery , and privation existed among the working people of London , such as the needle-women , Weavers , and others . How was this state of things to be altered ? There were but two ways . 1 st . Physical force , which he abominated . ( Hear , heav . ) He thought we had no business with a standing army in time of peace . ( Loud cheers . ) 2 nd . The mode was by moral means , by a cordial and determined union of the working classes , through which , at the next general election , they might send
into the house some dozen or more men like T . S . Duncombe ( great cheering ) , who would take care that no business should be transacted until the people obtained their just rights , and the People ' s Charter became the Jaw of the land . ( Great cheering . ) —Mr , Stall wood seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . —Mr . T , M . Wheeler moved the second resolution as follows : — "That , in the opinion of this meeting , the Chartist Co-operative Land Plan , drawn up by a committee appointed by the late Chartist Convention held in London , on the 21 st of April last , and now before the public , is both necessary and practicable , and that this meeting recommends to the people throughout the kingdom the propriety of immediately carrying
the plan into operation . " Mr . Wheeler said , although their being too ignorant to vote had been often asserted , no one had attempted to say that they were too ignorant to work , and they desired the land that they might be enabled to work and enjoy the produce of their own labour . ( Loud cheers . ) He ( lid not think or expect all the people to become small formers , it was simply to test the value of the land , and the importance of possessing the People ' s Charter , that this movement was commenced . ( Hear , hear . ) The soil of England was eminently calculated for agricultural operations , and as other nations had learned to manufacture goods as cheap and durable as our own , it was futile to suppose that this country could remain "the workshop of the
world . " He knew it had been said that the land could not be profitably cultivated ; that might be tru as regarded farmers with large quantities of it , an paying immoderately high rents without leases—( hear , hear ) , —hut it did not follow that if the land was occupied by the working classes in small quantities , at low rents , and leases for ever , that they could not cultivate it profitably . ( Loud cheers . ) He contended that they could , and the people seemed to agree with him ; for although their plan had been in operation but little more than a week , nearly 700 sham had been taken up already . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . M'Grath seconded the resolution , which was
unanimously adopted . —Several questions were asked and satisfactorily . answered , A considerable number of the books containing the " Land Plan and Rules " were sold , and a considerable number of shares taken up . A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman , and the meeting quietly dissolved . Greenwich and DErTFonD . —At a meeting held at the George and Dragon Tavern , Blackheath-hill , on Tuesday evening , May 27 th , Mr . Brewerton was unanimously called to the chair .

William Dear as delegate to the Exiles Restoration Committee , and Mr . Daniel Gover , jun ., as delegate to the Central Registration Committee . They would urge upon those localities who have not already elected delegates to those committees , the absolute necessity of doing so forthwith , in order that they may be prepared to take advantage of any change that may offer itself at the next general election—to be prepared is half the victory ,
Westminster . — The announcement that Mr . M'Grath would deliver a lecture on the all-important subject of the Land , called together a numerous and respectable assembly , at the Sun and Thirteen Cantons , Castlc-stvect , Leicester-square , on Sunday evening , May 26 th , and great was the disappointment and vexation felt by all present when it was found that Mr . M'Grath' did not appear to perform his promised duties . His absence was to some extent supplied by the chairman , Mr . R . Smith . The rules and objects of the Chartist Land Society havinff been read at length , n discussion ensued—in
which Messrs . Jones , Llewellyn , Stallwood , Wheeler , Sowter , Cnffay , and others took part . Twelve shares were then taken up in the Land Society . Mr . Parkes submitted the propriety of calling a large public meeting at the west end of London , to promote the Chartist Land plan ; to which Mr . Fearens O'Conaov should be invited .

O'Connor , by Messrs . O'Brien , Hill , and others , are unfounded in fact , and proceed frommatevolence on the part of the accusers ; and wc cannot but view those persons otherwise than as enemies to the freedom and happiness of their country .

The National. Land Petition. Mr. Duncomb...
TO THE CHARTISTS OF EDINBURGH , Gentlemen , —My attention has been called to a letter , signed by Robert Peddle , published in the National Bcformer of May 24 th , making certain enquiries regarding the reasons o f the Glasgow Council for appointing Mr . Kydd , of the city , to lecture through Scotland , at our expense and responsibility . If you have authorised Mr . Peddle to make such enquiries on your behalf , as his letter infers , —for he writes in the name of the Edinburgh Chartists , — please embody the same in a letter addressed to me , and you shall receive an answer , with full liberty to publish itin the National Reformer , or any other paper : but until I receive such communication , I do not feel myself entitled to call a meeting of the Council , to consider the contents of a letter which I conceive to be alike mean and blackguardly . Mr . Peddle seems to me to conceal hatred and animosity beneath the pretext of public good . The Glasgow Council know Mr , Kydd , and will , I have no doubt ,
answer all enquiries fairly put . Some of them also inoiv Mr . Peddie ; and , since he has assumed the office of public censor of Scotland , and national correspondent for the Isle of Man , I would remind hira of the sage old proverb , that " those who live in glass houses should never throw stones . " Scotland is disorganised , and consequently weak and futile in her assaults against the common enemy . The Glasgow Council desire a better state of things ; but some men will neither do good themselves nor allow others to do it for them . In fact , they would rather " 'lead ' in hell , than serve in heaven . " I regret to say , that Mr . Kydd informed me on his arrival from Greenock last week , that he was compelled , from inability to speak in the open air , to discontinue his labours as our missionary . Perhaps the announcement will . be somo consolation to those parties . —James Smith , sub-secretary of the Glasgow branch of the National Charter Association . —P ' . S . Address , 20 , Rottenrow-strect , Glasgow .
PAISLEY . Lectube nv Mn . Kvnn . —A public meeting , called by the Chartists of this locality , for the purpose of hearing a lecture from Mr . S . Kydd , of Glasgow , was held on Tuesday evening , the 20 th inst ., in the Chartist Church , Canal-street , Mr . Duncan Robertson in the chair . The subject of the lecture was the " causes which gave rise to the French revolution in 1789 , with its subsequent effects on the nations ol Europe . " Mr . Kydd handled the subject in a manner which completely rivetted 'the attention of the meeting for upwards of two hours , in the course of which he was loudly cheered . At the close of his address a hearty vote of thanks was given to the lecturer , after which the meeting ( which was the largest we have had in Paisley for a long time ) separated .
Mh . O'Coxxon axd ins Suxdehehs . — At the usual weekly meeting of the Council o f this locality of the National Charter Association , held on Monday night last , at Mr . Brown's , U , Storic-street , Mr . A . Gemmill in the chair , the following resolution , moved by Mr . Duncan Robertson , and seconded by Mr . James Paton , was unanimously agreed to : — " Resolved , that although we arc of opinion that the popularity of Mr . O'Connor is too well grounded in the affections of a grateful , though oppressed people to suffer the least injury from the f owl amlww
provoked slanders sought to he heaped on his cha- i meter by that precious trio of base calumniators , i Ashton , Hill , and O'Brien , yet wc consider it a duty we owe Mr . O'Connor to express our approval of his i reply to those' worthies , ' which wo regard as a clear and satisfactooy refutation of their whole fabrica- tions . And , further , wc would assure Mr . O'Connor i that he has still our vuiquaMcd confidence , of which ' no individual shall ever divest him , so long as he maintains that title , which he has so justly merited —namely , the champion of labour , and the uncompromising advocate of file working classes , "
THE POTTERIES . To the Ciuimsi Bonv . —Friends , —I have much pleasure in again assuring you , through the columns of the Stai ; that , notwithstanding the political calm at present existing , ouv principles nre making headway amongst the thinking men of all classes . I arrived here on Tuesday from Birmingham , and had a splendid meeting on the Crown Bank—a fine open space in the centre of Hanley . Numbers of the '' respectable" classes were present , and paid the strictest attention to what I advanced . The working men , too , seemed to drink in every sentiment that I uttered , and it wasevident f rom the countenances o f
the vast majority , that Chartism has lost none of its charms by having been subjected to persecution and contumely . I took a general review of existing abuses , proving that , were the people represented with their present intelligence , that poverty and crime would be banished from the land , and plenty and contentment substituted in tlieir stead . Mr . Moss , an excellent Chartist , also made a powerful speech , and the meeting separated . I lecture Lore again to-night ( Wednesday ) , on the Land ; in facb , it is all the rage hero , as well as every other place that I have been to , I expect a bumper to-night . Opposition from a certain quarter is anticipated . I shall send a full account next week . —Thomas Clank . —Hnnley .

Thomas Adam ' s large room last Monday evening , May 26 th , Mr . Frank Mirhekl opened the proceedings by remarking that a certain unworthy character , whom he disdained to name , had been attempting to throw odium on two of their respected townsmen , viz ., Mr .

LEEDS . The Land . — On Monday evening , May 19 th , a meeting was held in the Bazaar , Mr . Braithwaite in the caair , for the purpose of taking into considcra tion the Land scheme . Mr . Brook introduced the question , and recommended that a branch should be formed of the National Land Society . He read the rules of the Society from the Star . A discussion followed , in which Mr . Shaw and others took part , and ended in a resolution being unanimously adopted that a branch should be immediately formed . The work of enrolment then commenced , when twenty persons gave in their names for shares . ' It was resolved that the meeting should be adjourned to Monday the 20 th . At the time'a ppointed there was a greater
attendance than on the Monday previous- ^ Mr . Farrar was called to the chair . Mr . Brook then commenced enrolling more members , which ended in thirty-Jive shares being taken up . The first instalment waa then paid . One member , however , paid the whole of his share , £ 212 a . 3 d . The total amount of money paid was £ 413 s . This is a very good beginning . A district committee , consisting * ef Messrs . Brook , . Turner , Farrar , Wardle , Balmborough , Shaw , Hewitt , Gray , and Braithwaite were appointed ; Messrs . Greenwood and Rawlins was appointed auditors . It was then agreed on , that the wccklv navments
should be made on Mondav nights , from half-past seven to half-past eight . This meeting was one oi the most important that has been held for some time . The question of the Land has made wonderful progress in Leeds . Smce the adoption of it by the Convention the cry has been , " When are you going to form a Land Society ? " One is now formed , and its commencement has exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its promoters . Many persons , no doubt , will join it who do not belong to the Chartist Association at present . Leeds used to be the last in these matters , but now she is determined to take the lead , and the proceedings on Monday is a sign of it .
BOLTON . Chartist Tea Party . —A Chartist tea party was holden in the Chartist Meeting Room , Mawdsley * street , on Friday evening , May 16 th . The room was tastefully decorated . After tea , appropriate sentiments were given , several patriotic songs were sung , and the whole concluded with dancing . There has been of late a great revival of the Chartist spirit in this town . Discord and division caused the annihilation of the Association ; but having got rid of the factious spirits , a reaction for the better has
commenced . The good men have again united—a hall has been taken , capable of seatins f a thousand persons—the town is divided into districts , and the members visited weekly . The funds arc in a state of prosperity ; our library is increasing , for which wc arc indebted to Mr . Finlay rYazer . of Bank-street , who has presented us with ' twenty valuable volumes . We have also to thank Mr . John Cook , grocer , of Bank-street , for his kind donations . Altogether , wc have to congratulate ourselves fur a glorious revival of Chartism hi Bolton .
