    London. City Chabtisi Hah..—Mr. Cooper's...

    LONDON . City _Chabtisi Hah .. —Mr . Cooper ' s concluding lecture of his first series , last Sunday evening , was , as usual , well attended , though a considerable number of his customary hearers left the hall , a few minutes before eight , to listen to the eloquent Mr . Fox , who was lecturing in the National Hall , Holborn , on " The Purgatory of Suicides . " Mr . ( May , as chairman , after one ofthe "People-Songs " , had been sung , introduced the subject of the evening ' s discourse ,- and Mr , Cooper immediately commenced a brief narrative of the life of Byron , —passing to a a rapid review ofhis poetry ; passages from " Childe Harold , " " The Siege of Corinth , " "Don Juan , "

    and "The Vision of Judgment" were selected as examples of his power : some of these the lecturer read , and some he recited . The specimens from " The Vision of Judgment , " drew instant responses from the audience . The celebrated stanzas , "Fare thee . well , and if for ever , " produced a powerful impression , not a few of the fairer portion ofthe audience Bhedding tears while the speaker rehearsed them . Mr . C . closed his theme with a few noble extracts from Mr . Carlyle _' s " Past and Present , " some general remarks on the literature of the age , ahd by an impassioned exhortation to all who felt an interest in human progress to unite in an energetic struggle for the complete triumph of right .

    DUNDEE . Mr . M'Grath delivered two eloquent and instructive lectures here on Monday and Tuesday , the 20 th and 21 st ult . Mr . Robert Kidd occupied the chair on the first evening , and Mr . JohnM'Crae on tlie second . The subjects were— " The Land—its capabilities , and the means of obtaining it ; " and , "The agencies which impoverish the industrious community , and the means of their removal . " The lecturer stated two important facts , which the working classes would do well ta treasure carefully in their minds : first , that , according to a report of a committee of the House of Commons , there are 67 millions of acres of cultivable land in this country , which , upon the very low estimate of two persons to each acre , would support comfortably a population ot 134 millions ; and , secondly , the _profitmonaers

    actually absorb wealth to the value of £ 450 , 000 , 000 sterling , or upwards of one-half of the whole produce of tne country , supposing , according to M'Queen _, the annual income of thekingdom to be £ 820 , 000 , 000 or £ 830 , 000 , 000 sterling . Tnis last fact incontestibly proves the necessity of proper laws of distribution , without which the productive classes must go on , addmg continually to the wealth of the country , while at the _Bame time they become poorer and poorer . At the conclusion of the lectures some objections were urged , and questions asked , which were answered to the apparent satisfaction of the audience , it not to the objectors themselves . As some have expressed a desire to join the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , intimation is hereby given that _aprelumuary meeting will be held in the Association Room , Fullar _s-close , Murraygate , on Monday , November the 10 th , at eight o ' clock in the cvenin " ¦

    MR . CLARK'S TOUR . To the Chartist Body . —Friends ,-Noti , inff be more cheermg than the progress wliich ou * 1 plan is making in the country . I find it _warreK 51 , _ceived * , yherevw I go , especially in tho oou _ _Z _*§ lages , where most ofthe inhabitants have small „ i of ground , and consequently understand iis vfi 4 The sceptics are only to bc found amongst _tliowT ?' are profoundly ignorant upon the subject . WnJIH was at Worcester , last week , I heard ofa _uci-snn , V occupies two acres of land at a short disiatZV . _"* the town ; he pays a high rent for it , eniph _,,, _)^ to cultivate it , keeps a horse and cart , andwuW a large family in comfort and indepcnde _ . ee ami i 3 nothing but the two acres of land to _depeiij iin This 1 have upon the authority of the num _* . '

    „ son . Some of our friends are afraid that am with a family would starve upon two awe' f ground . I have no such fear . I told vou \ f week how much the farmers dreaded the _siatf farm system , and I assure you that their fa * have not been at all lessened by the establishment ol our society . You would be surprised at thc sensation which the agitation of this question has created i ,, * remote country districts . It is my firm conviction that if we had the rules of our society enrolled _uniie » Act of Parliament , and nroncr means were taken _i _*

    make the thing known in the agricultural districts that wc should , in the course of a short tune , hav . three agricultural labourers in the society for on . manufacturing operative . But we must first get tli . rules enrolled , whicli must be done if possible . Some object to the enrolment , but I cannot see why ; at least , I cannot sec what harm the enrolment _woulj do ; but , on the contrary , I feel fully persuade ! that it would be productive of incalculable good , i see that the men of Manchester have decided ir favour of this step , and I hope that their _exaiuuh . will be followed throughout the country .

    CHELTENHAM . On Monday , the 20 th inst ., I left Bristol for % above place , and in the evening had an excellent meeting in a school-room adjoining an Unitarian chapel . Mr . Leach , a working man , was called to the chair . The subject of the lecture was , " 'Hi . Land , and how to get it . " After explaining how tie aristocracy of the world became possessed of tie land , and proving the peoples' right to it , _Iexphiimd the nature and objects of our society , which sceiaid to give general satisfaction . Some stupid fellow _rjji up at the close and put some very silly _questionhe was well laughed at for his pains . Mr . _Milba made some excellent remarks in favour of the small fami system , quoting the authority of parIiamonta . v documents in support of his positions . Mr . M , _^ attentively listened to ,- and , after he had spoken , a quantity of rules were disposed of , aud the mcetiio broke up . On the following day ( Tuesday ) , I p _^ ceededto

    HATH , where I had a very good meeting at night . Tne veteran patriot , Mr . Thomas Bolwell , waa unM j , mously chosen to preside ; ahd , after a _sensible speech from him , I was introduced , and spoke about an hour and a half in elucidation of theland _plsn and the benefits likely to accrue from its adoption b ; the working classes . I invited discussion , as is my usual practice , but the value of the Land is so ip . parent , that few have the hardihood to question itand as to tho plan itself , it is so simple and explidtj that the only objection to it seems te he that i ; i too good . After the meeting had concluded I retired with the Messrs . Bolwell , and had also the company of two young men who are at present engaged S 3 small farmers , and had the pleasure of having thel , approval of all that I had advanced on the capi bdities of

    the soil . They both gave it as theii opinion that a man with a family , however large , could , with moderate industry , make a very comfort _, able living from two acres of ground of an _averagu quality . They had both read Mr . O'Connor ' s work on small farms , and both agreed with him generally ; but neither of them approved of Ms mode of stallfeeding cows . They both contended that cows fid upon grass would give much better milk than com fed upon the diet recommended by Mr . O'Connor , though his mode of feeding would produce nie greatest quantity , but the quality would be inferior . I related what I had read of the experiments of Nr . Thornton , of Huddersfieid , and what I had seen at Mr . Ardill ' s , at Leeds ; but yet they seemed fully mpressed with the belief that they were right , andMr . _O'Cornioi" wrong-. The next day ( Wednesday ) I went to

    Tno , a town in Wiltshire , containing a population of about twenty thousand people , all engaged inthe manufactory of woollen cloths . Employment , I learned , was brisk amongst them ; but the weavers expected to experience serious alterations in tlieir work , owing to an improved loom which has been lately introduced amongst them , by whichtwo pieces can be woven together—and when this loom becomes generally used , double the number of pieces will fie made—and unless a double sale can be effected for the manufactured article , a great number of weavcra will he thrown out of employment . The price paid for weaving a sinele niece is tcnDencehaH ' . _nfiimv -inn

    two similar pieces , in the double loom , one shilling and threepence-halfpenny . The weavcra have formed aunion , aboutninetyof themhave joined , and pay one half penny a week into a fund , but for what purpose I could not learn . Tho sum is so exceed . ingly small , that I donot see what thev can do with it . I advised them to join the National Union . I _-m _™ been frequently asked about a journal which the Irades' Executive talked of publishing , and where it could be had . I could not give a satisfactory answer , but perhaps Mr . Ilobson can . A meeting was announced to take place at eight o ' clock , in a large room in the Market-place ; it ' was a bumper . the

    place was crammed full , as well as the avenue leading up to it . Mr . Stephens , a highly intelligent young man , was chosen to preside , and conducted the business of the meeting most satisfactorily . I explained the nature and objects of our Land movement , showed how the surplus labour in the market enabled competing capitalists to reduce the wages oi the working man , and the profits of the shopkeeper . Numbers of the middle class were present , and , 1 was afterwards informed , expressed themselves in favour of the movement . I enrolled several members , and several others pledged themselves to join . I was highly delighted at the spirit manifested by the men of Trowbridge .

    • THE POTATO CROP . The failure of the potato crop will cause ruin to many , and serious loss to all concerned . Every day brings fresh tidings of wide-spread rot . I have made it my business to enquire of all whom I come in contact with , and learn with regret that the disease is universal . The person who drove me from Trowbridge to Bradford , informed me that a neighbour of his had " got in" twenty-five , sacks , whicli , at tie time , appeared quite free from the prevalent misfor tune * _« e looked upon them as a prize . About a week afterwards , lie emptied them out again , and to his surprise and disniav found that out ofthe

    twenty-five sacks , he had only three that were nt for the use even of pigs . _Another person , one of tlio members of our Land Society , residing near Baft _, has upwards of one hundred and fifty sacks rotteiii and he told me that he expected most of the others which he had by him would turn out the same way . Great distress is expected to be the result among *' the agricultural labourers . Some landlords arc returning part of the rents to their poorer tenants ivfio have had bad potato crops . Earl Ducie _, _atirst-rate practical agriculturist , has , I understand , returned two-thirds of the rents paid by his tenants . This is an example worthy of imitation . —Yours , truly , Bristol , Tuesday . Thomas Cub * .
