The National Land Company. It Is Tbis We...
THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . It is tbis week our pride to call the atten-I tion of the working classes to the result of ! the inquiry into the affairs of the National | Land Company . Our readers will understand i with us that we embrace the whole question . submitted to the Select Committee iu this one word— " affairs , " as the most partial witness must admit , from the uncontradicted assertions of Mr O'Connor , and , indeed , from a perusal of the evidence itself , that the committee ap pointed to repo- _ upon the National Land Company had assigned to it the simple task of establishing , 1 charge of fraud and peculation against Mr O'Connor . Nor , _ indeed , was such an anticipation unfounded , if the promoters of the said committee hoped to measure Mr O'Connor ' s honour by their own bushel , ' Set
a thief to catch a thief is , in most cases , an applicable adage and the thief-catcher failing in the pursuit , or discovering that he is upon the wrong scent , becomes not gratified in discovering his mistake , but goaded to vengeance by his failure . Perhaps there is not upon record a parallel for the abuse that has been heaped upon Mr O'Connor , from 'his entrance- into public life down to the recent investigation—which we must designate as his trial for * , the worst description of crime—a breach of confidence in the robbery of the poor . The people will understand that , however Mr O'Connor may stand honourably acquitted ofthe charge preferred against him , that , nevertheless , the result will but increase the hatred and
embitter the animosity of those who dread his popularity , and who would have much preferred the verdict of his _guilt to proof of the honourable expenditure of the people ' s money ; as the defeated enemy must now feel conscious that Mr Feargus O'Connor now occupies a position as a public man which no individual , undertaking to advocate the people ' s cause , has ever achieved . We abstained—and we think with good taste —from commenting on the proceedings until the committee had closed its labours and made
its report ; and having perused those proceedings with a scrutinising eye . it affords us no small pleasure to be able to bear testimony to the high and unequivocal honour manifested throughout the proceedings by thirteen out of fifteen of tbat tribunal ; and if we required any further evidence to strengthen our conviction of Whig depravity and baseness , we find it in the fact , that the two whom we cannot include are Whigs to the back bone . The letter of Mr O'Connor , whicii wiil be found in our present number , is of itself a complete refutation of the strong presumptions based upon the evidence of Messrs Grey and
Finlayson , and relied upon by the Hayter and Sir Benjamin , as to the prospect of reproduction . But the question which most puzzles us , and which no doubt willmost puzzle our readers , is this—a committee is appointed to inquire into the practicability of carrying out a certain scheme , the success or failure of which must mainly depend upon the description of evidence submitted to it , and that evidence , every reasonable man must admit , could only have been acquired from practical agriculturists , for , as to the legality or illegality of the Company , as it now stands , the very entertainment of that question was mere moonshine , _inasri'uchas the
very fact of Mr O'Connor applying for leave to bring in a bill to legalise the Land Company , was of itself an unequivocal admission of its illegality in its present forsi . This being an undeniable fact , we now turn to the consideration of the evidence of Mr Revans , ex-Poor Commissioner , and now secretary to the Board of Commissioners . ; a government functionary , and the only individual called by the Chairman to be examined , not upon the most important , but upoa the only important branch of the subject , which in essence was , and is , the probability or improbability of labour applied to land diminishing or increasing the value of that land .
Now , we contend that that is the whole question at issue ; andjthis being an admitted fact , a collateral question would arise as to the prospect of reproduction . If the evidence of this official had been reconcilable with common sense , his situation as a domestic removable at pleasure , would have cast suspicion upon it ; while the production of such a witness not onl y casts suspicion , but stamps guilt , upon the higher official who produced him . This official was what thelegal profession term , " Too good a witness * , '' and we imagine , the only effect that
the perusal of his evidence can have , will be to excite contempt , ridicule , and laughter against a witness who could talk such rubbish , and the official who could present him for examination . However , as the practical know ledge of this gentleman was the only evidence relied upon as the solution of the problem of man ' s capability to live and pay rent out of three acres of land , we g ive the best evidence of his capacity , as a practical agriculturist , in the following document , to which the writer ingenuously attaches his name : —
_ Bsrr , Wednesday Morning , July 28 th
TQ THE EDITOR Or THE KOE . _THEHW STAB . SIB , —I wrote to you last week , in whieh I told you a little ot Mr R _. _vans ' s agriculture . But tbat I may make no mistake , last Wednesday morning , I started about four o ' clock , to pay a THt to Sorel , laie the residence of that gentleman , to ascertain if hi were the man , and I am ltd to believe be is . I will give you the result of my inqu ry , and as I hope to meet Mr It-vans , eit-er privately or publicly , I -rill nolstate other-rise than the truth of hira . As he has come forward publicly tobe a witness , to bi-st , if possible , « hat I consider will be a blessing' to thousands , publicly I Jtake him up as a farmer , by stating what I understand he did with his lani , and how much he had of it . First , he had about 100 vergus , forty of which were under cultivation , the rest was ou the cliff as a run
for sheep ; then he bought 100 more , which was on a common , twenty of whick he broke up ; and as there are two _and-a-quarier vergus to an EnglUk acre , he had about eighty acres , twenty-seven of which were under fultivation . Two years ago _vihen I was tbere , they were breaking up the commen , ont of which he had as Hue turnips a 3 eTer I saw ; then he broke up more , but never _cropped it ; then he had as fine pea . a . were to be seen , since which he has never cropped an inch of his land , wbi-h is two years ago ; that which he broke up is as bad
as ever if was , the rest is growing nothing but couch grass and wet d ? , which is higher than my knees , or was wh _ I came across it last week , so you mny judge of tha nature ff the _soiL When there , I mentioned the circumstance ofthe corn to the hind ; he replied , " Well , its there now , I suppose for the rats , that thpy might not _he . tarrci al 6 o . " Now , for his stock * : He had sis cons , one ball , 150 sheep , twenty . eight pigs , two horses and a ram . The men used to say the horses could not do half a day's work for w .. nt of food ; three of his cows died , 103 ef the sh . ep _, and ail the _pijs , Bedding he never gavo _ uu

: iny , as tbat was ii w . _ist _« , li . sniil . Tiie stuck hi ha ? now is , t _ ree cows , one buil , two yearlings , and cut ' hog bull , onehcifer c _* l i _, nnd one bull calf . He never soldbut one bull cilf , and that went to Fiance . He said , " Ho cou ld not let out bis bull , as ho had to go to court , and bo uader a heavy fine before ihey were landed , because tliey would not mis the island breed ; " bo he bas kept them »» > considering them too valuable to kill . As to the quantity of milk they g ' . vo , I saw tbem milked , nnd they nre now in very good _coadlt _' on , although , as tho bind said the other da-, _tecou'dalmo-tsee through _thtmithelarge-tbas lost her milk these eight months , the other two are much improved of late , and as there was a ( _raugo in the can , 1 saw what tbey gave , aud it wag barely fiv . quarts , this too just agreeing with what he stated . To manage that landlie kept four English labourers .
, He has forty-seven sheep , and seventeen lambs ; the cows are kept in stall by n _' ght , and fed on hay , which w all bought for them , as there is nothing growing on tuo place . I inquired ofthe people _li-ing near him , all oi whom told me that his stock died last winter by wholesale , as he had nothing to give them , and it wns wellkno wn in the neighbourhood it was for want ; when tne Islanders see people foo ing away their _mo-iey they have no objection to it ; but it must be on the nail , as tbey will not chance credit . I asked the milkman about tho sawdust for hia pigs ; he said , that he had heard so , but thought it incredible , but that both had heard thnt his stock was all starved ; and if he asserts that a family cannot live off three acres of good land , he knows it is an untruth : for if any of his neighbours had it freehold , they
would be independent , which many of them are with much less . That is what makes these Islands so fruitful ; it is their small farm 3 _, and nothing else but the value they set on their land , by keeping it in continual _cultivation . If Mr O'Connor would but pay us a visit , I think he would have a rich treat ( aud a _delightful treat to _usj I think he would have a _nhip-hand of Mr Revans , should they meet again , if not , hecould show him up in his riirhcolours as an agriculturist . As the landlord said at St John's , it is his starvation s _ tern which constitutes his qualification for a Poor Law Commissioner , while thanks be , here ive need them not , as nearly all Jerseymni have a little land . I remain , fraternally yours , Daniei , Long .
Now , what does the render think of the sentimentality and morality of a Poor-law commissioner , who could not let his bull out to imp rove the breed of cattle , because he had to go to court ? We presume he meant the court of St James ' s , and that , from the importance of his situation , he might perchance be introduced bythe Lord in-Waiting as the gentleman that let his bull out . However , our correspondent has let the cat out of the bag . Here we have the character of a practical agriculturist , —one who feeds his pigs upon saw-dust , no doubt , as an experiment hereafter to be practised upon paupers in the
bastile ; here we find upon this gentleman ' s pleasure spot , " wbich he took such delight in cultivating , " couch grass up to the knee , untouched for two years , and upon whicii fact he based that portion of his evidence , which went to show how land , badly cultivated , would run to conch grass ; here is a practical agriculturist allowing three-fourths of his stock to starve , buying hay to keep the remainder alive , which , he htated in his evidence , must end in the destruction of the purchaser ; not bedding his
cattle , starving his horses , experimentalising upon animal frugality _. in the hope of obtaining a reward by applying the experiment upon paupers committed to his tender mercies . Now , here is an exhibition of the skill of the only practical man examined ; and if he did not evince much p ractical skill in agriculture , the perusal of his evidence leads us to believe that he is pre-eminently qualified to fill any situation upon which the existence of a Whig Government may depend .
However * , we may soberly and seriously ask the members ofthe National Land Company whether they are prepared to submit to such tyranny , depravity , and meanness ; the more especially when they bear in mind that the chief object of that committee should have been to have arrived at a solution of the main q uestion submitted to it , by the ]| examination of skilled and practical agriculturists ? And
what will the working classes say , when they have reflected upon the fact lhat Mr O'Connor produced four allottees , who had travelled at his expense , and that the chairman refused to examine any of them ? Must not this fact of itself irresistibly lead every impartial man to the conclusion that , as far as the Chairman was concerned , his object was not to elicit the truth , but to damn the plan by falsehnnd ?
Let us now submit a list of witnesses , called by the Chairman ofthe Land committee for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability or impracticability of the Land Plan—No . 1 . Mr Whitmarsh , Registrar ; No . 2 . Mr Chinnery , Solicitor ; No- 3 . Mr Lawes , Barrister ; who had drawn up the Health of Towns Bill for the Government ; No . 4 . Mr Tidd Pratt , Certifying Barrister to the Government ; No . 5- Mr Revans , ex-Poor Law Commissioner , and now Secretary to the Commission ; No . 6 . Mr Grey , Accountant and Government
Official ; and to whose inspection was submitted the account of the Drainage and Sewerage Commission ; and , No . 7 . Mr Finlayson , Government Actuary . Now , such were the callings of the seven wise men who were selected by the Whig Chairman sf the Land Committee , to establish the practicability of the scheme ; while we learn that it was with difficulty that Mr O'Connor succeeded in having Mr John Sillett—an occupier cf two acres of his ownexamined ; _, the Chairman doggedly refusing until the determination of lhe committee
overpowered his objection . The people , however , may rest assured that , as far as we are concerned , tbat fraudulent , barefaced , and dastardly attempt to destroy their project , shall not be allowed to stop where the Chairman and his worthy coadjutor —Sir Benjamin—had hoped . Mr O'Connor ' s trial is now over , and we have formed an erroneous estimate of that gentleman ' s resolution , if he does not now carry the war into
the enemy ' s camp . Already we have received numerous resolutions , indicating * the will of the electors and non-electors of the borough of Marylebone , and other parts of London , expressing a determination to call upon their mis-representative to attend at a public meeting , and give an account of his conduct , and at which , we are informed , a select committee of Welch missionaries will attend , for the purpose of putting a few questions to the honourable baronet . And we are further informed
that a' committee , calling itself the " NO BENJAMIN COMMITTEE , " has been formed in Marylebone , for the purpose of securing a substitute for Sir Benjamin , at the next general election . One of our correspondents inquires , whether it is likely that Mr O ' Connor would attend the proposed meeting , and , in reply , we have to state , that his answer was , "He would lay all other business aside to stand by the PUMP . " Indeed , it would be impossible to read the evi dence as printed , and the rubbish as spoken by the member for Marylebone , upon the report being brought up , without coming to the
conelusion that he had failed in his mission , and had lost a portion of that confidence which insured for him his present title / _through sycophancy , obsequiousness , and treachery . However , if we understand our Marylebone friends , we feel assured that in their opinion the partial committee man cannot he an impartial parliament man ; and that , therefore , upon the next struggle , the question with them will not be Whig or Tory , but" Down with the Pump . '' There is no man more apparentl y fastidious of other
men ' s honour than the man who is not scrupulous about his own ; and , as a great moralist has said , " The depraved invariably select the vices of others for comment and reprobation as a cloak to cover their own iniquities . " We close our observation for the present with the following lament from the poor C / 'roB . _cZe of this ( Thursday ) morning , thus proving to demonstration that we consider the vituperation of the Press as one of the most powerful auxiliaries of the Land Plan _.-
—The Committto on the Land Company Schema has made it . report , and amply confirms „ U that we have stated regarding it . The mere illegality of tho scheme was a _ esUon to which wo nev _. r devoted any but the most cursory notice . Its deceptive character as a scheme for tho good of the "toiling mUlions , " when , in fact only a very small fraction of those toiling millions could gain even the chanoo of a benefit from it , was the subject of our complaint . That _character is now , thouah in the gentlest periphrasis , fixed upon it by the committee . The Repwrt declares It not merely to be au illegal scheme , but likewise one " that will not fulii ! the expectations held out by ths directors to the shareholders . " It is necJIl'ES to quarrel about terms . We r . re told in " Koiiilivorth" that _El-zabeth conveyed her commands to Sussex iu the form of an entreaty , and her entreaty to Leicester under thc guise ot a command .

less measure , might have doue , that thoacheme is n total failure . Any "lercantlla company would unhesitatingl y so acknowledge it . Whether Mr O'Connor is ft debtor or _u creditor lo tho Company on tho money accounts ( the committee declares that the _irrregxilarlty in tbem has be : n against his interest , instead of in his favour ) , is a matter of small importance , though upon that point Sir Benjamin Hall does not seem in exact accordance with the rest of thc committee . Tbe fact stand . Admitted that the Company is a failure , and all that the committee can say In its favour is , that considering the 6 ona fides with which it has been carried on , and the groat _numb-sr ot persons interested in it , power might be granted them to ivird up the undertaking , and to relievo tbe parties
concerned frem penalties . If any doubt could by possibility be en tertained on tho subject of the utter failure of this undertaking ; this recommendation must satisfy the most sceptical . But it still remains to bo asked , why the committee has left the unsecured allottees wholly unnoticed ? They have stood the chance of the _gambling—they have won , they are in possession , but their possession Is at this moment - nl y that of _tenants-at-will , if not of actual trespassers . Mr Chinnery asserts , and Mr O'Connor admits , that he has never Kivcn them a conveyance , while ho does not affect to deny that he could do so ; and the legal evidence shows that , without such conveyance , they could be ejected at oucu by tbe heirs or personal _repr _'sentatives of the person in whose name the whole land has been purchased . As the matter stands at present , all tbe _propasitions we originally started with are ma _. e out . The scheme is not a _seliamo for the benefit of
all the subscribers-for the advantage of the toiling millions-but is a gigantic lottery , wftli a scale most unfavourableto the gambler . In this lottery , the holders of the prizes aro wholly unsecured , and the scheme will not fulfil the expectations held out by the directors to the shareholders ' . What is such a seheme but n bubble ? Assuming everything whicii the committee has assumed ii . favour of Mr O'Connor , the fact that he has been tho author of a monster bluuder still remains . The _misdiieroi'S'iess of that blunder , the blind faith so readily yielded to the assertions of its author , as to the good ho can effect for the labouring classes , the evils likely to follow therefrom , nnd the necessity of protecting the poor and _ign . rant man against a ruinous credulity , justify all that we have said on thia _subject , and may compel us to resume the consideration of those parts of it on ivhich the Report is lamentably defective .
We shall make a very short comment upon the foregoing rubbish , and we shall begin backwards . The monstrous juggle that WAS , IS now but a monstrous blunder ; but , no doubt the hero of the quill would rather be convicted of a juggle than of a blunder , as , with him , prostitution is a virtue and a qualification , honour is n disparagement and a disqualification . The commentator either forgets or is ignorant ofthe fact , that Mr O'Connor ' s title would rather be strengthened than weakened by making conveyances to the present occupants ; and the philosopher does not appear to understand , that if those conveyances were
executed the rents would he payable to Mr O'Connor , and that the rents , in case of his death , might be recovered by his heir at lawthat is , if Mr O'Connor had not made his will , as stated by that gentleman , and left the whole of tbe property to trustees , for the benefit of the members . But , why throw pearls before swine ? Why stoop to reason with a senseless blockhead , or , rather , with the worn-out machinery ofa worn-ouli engine , that could not even go the slow , jog-trot Whigpace , and was obliged to limp on Tory crutches
in the hope of keeping the engineer ' s staff above water ? No wonder this cameleon should approve and praise the conduct ofthe PUMP , as the weak wasli that comes from both is of equal strength and has _ei-upl influence . However , when Grunticle is ready for the fray we promise to meet him , and beat him , too , upon his own ground ; but what we have to request is , that he will not take his style , his language , or his facts , from the Marylebone baronet . Perhaps there is no paper in the universe that has evinced so much profligacy , so little talent , or more disregard for truth , than the poor old _•* ' Chronicle . "
Rebellion And Persecution. We Congratula...
REBELLION AND PERSECUTION . We congratulate our readers—the British empire is safe ! List ! oh , list ! to the Liverpool Times .- — " The British empire has now passed through the double ordeal of Cbartist nnd Irish discontent , and bas come out of b _« th even moro triumphantly than na _wariae _. t admirers could bave expected ' , l There was great reason to fear that the instigations of tbe O'Connor- and Harri- _ , on this aide ot iho Channel , and tho 9 eof the _O'Uriena and Meaghers on the other , would have led to serious disturbances _. Happily that haa not been the case in either country . "'
It seems that the warmest admirers of our glorious institutions have been in a bit of a pucker , from which they are now happily relieved . The designs of the gentlemen abovenamed on this side of the water against the I _ iti-h empire are the pure inventions of the Liverpool editor ' s fertile imagination . Their one aim has been to strengthen and glorify the British empire , by rendering its institutions the _safeguard of all classes . If Messrs O'Brien and Meagher have menaced the British empire they have been enabled to do so , because there was ' ' something rotten in the state of Denmark . "
A _large portion of this day s paper is occupied with accounts of the unhappy state of things in Ireland . It will be seen that one collision has taken p lace—there are rumours of more thnn one—in which blood has flowed . The accounts ofthe destruction of human life have greatly varied -. some stating that seven were killed ; others ten , eighteen , and twenty ; and the latest account we have seen fix _thj » number at three . Again , the insurgents haye been variously estimated at from two , three , or four thousand , down to one or two hundreds . It has been stated that Mr Dillon was wounded —some said killed . It h . s also been asserted
that Mr O'Brien was wounded , and that in some skirmish at some other place Mr O'Gorman was shot . We have good reason for believing there is no truth in these statements . The stories told of the disguises , flights , and concealments ofthe several leaders , are , no doubt , equally unfounded . The reporters and correspondents seem to have more than ordinarily taxed their powers of mendacity in describing the movements of Mr Smith O'Brien . Sometimes they represent him with only fifty followers—anon he appears at the head of five
hundred—again , utterly discomfited , his adherents are reduced to two—presently he appears at the head of two thousand p ikemen . He is represented to be riding North , South , East , anil . West—concealed in a priest ' s "househiding in a coal-pit—sleeping in a field—and on board 3 hip on his way to America—all at lhe same time . From this our readers may infer that , at present , so far at least as Irish affairs are concerned , lying is the order of the day , and that the reports of the daily journals are not to be depended on .
The correspondents and editors ofthe London Papers are indulging in songs of triumph over the suppression of the rebellion , and language almost fails them in their efforts to pour contempt and scorn upon Smith O'Brien . If , indeed , he is the coward or the madman , or the fallen leader abandoned by the whole of his followers , they represent , how is it he has not yet been arrested ? Without forces or friends , how is it that 45 , 000 troops and police , stimulated too by the promised reward of 501 U , have not yet captured their prize ?
We warn our best possible instructors not to halloo before they are out of the wood : we should be most happy to hear of the establishment of peace in Ireland , but we strongly doubt that tranquillity is so near being restored as the Times and other papers would fain make the English public believe . Some of the journals alread y speak ofthe risingin Ti pperary as the "late rebellion ; '' and a flippant writer in one ofthe morning papers , tries his hand at a history ofthe insurrection , affecting to regard it as being already a thing of the past but we agree with the Morning Chronicle , that the present state oflreland " can be regarded with no other feelings than those of the deepest anxiety and alarm . ' '
The arrest of Mr O'Higgins , reported in our third edition of last week , appears to us to be a most unwarrantable stretch of power . We say this , because we are persuaded that the charge of treason or felony brought against Mr O'Higgins is a fabrication , manufactured for the purpose of putting him out of the way . We are informed that the gun-stocks found on Mr _O'Hi gg ins ' s premises were purchased by him as a mercantile speculation , a year or two ago . As to the treasonable correspondence with the English Chartists , that is all bosh . In the course of the last ten years Mr
O'Higgins bas no doubt had a pretty extensive correspondence with English friends and acquaintances holding- Chartist principles ; but anything like treasonable correspondence we believe to be a bag of moonshine . Our sentiments respecting the destruction of the Nation and Irish Felon may be better conceived than we can describe them . The unnecessary and wanton waste of property , and the arrest of the pressmen and
compositors , are such Algerine acts as no circumstances can justify . The pitiful persec ution waged against the poor _newsvendors arrested for selling the Nation and Felon , is equally disreputable to the Irish Government . The poor news-hawkers are to be made defendants in a great state trial for selling newspapers which the Stamp-office authorities had previously legalised by impressing the sheets with their stamp ? !
The tyrannical invasion of the office of the North British Express was one of the grossest acts of oppression ever perpetrated in this country . Not contented with arresting persons employed on that paper , the authorities of Edinburgh broke into the Express office , and took away books , correspondence , ccc , together with a " considerable portion of copy prepared for the next number of that paper ; subsequently the property was restored , but the Express had to appear with several columns in blank . It appears that the principal articles in that journal were subjected to the revision of the Procurator Fiscal , before publication . What next ? Here is the censorship established without the sanction of law , and in defiance of constitutional rights .
The arrests continue . Besides the Chartists arrested last week in Edinburgh , Glasgow , and Greenock , Mr Grant , of Edinburgh , « as arrested on Monday last ; and we see it stated in a Scotch paper , that a Mr Hamilton , another Scotch Chartist , was arrested on Monday evening . These arrests , and the practical establishment of the Censorship , have excited a great ferment in the Scottish capital , and on Manday evening last an immense meeting was holden on . the Calton Hill , to protpst against these wanton fre ? ks of irresponsible power . Two more London Chartists have been
arrested . Messrs Bryson and Shell , working men , were arrested on Wednesday evening by a body of police armed with cutlasses , and on Thursday were committed for trial on the usual charge of sedition , preferred against them by Bond Hughes , the Government reporter . In our second page will be found a report of the conclusion of the trials at York . Some of the Defendants have traversed ; most harsh and heavv sentences have been passed upon those convicted- Sager and Johnson , convicted of riot , have been sentenced to two years imprisonment with hard labour . W . Connor , I .
Heaton , W . Winterburn , W . Smith , H . Whitcome , J . Downes , F . Vicary , and A . Beanland , eighteen months with hard labour . For drilling , J . Ramsden , two years with hard labour . D . Holroyd and T . Fell , eighteen months with hard labour . J . Cochran , H . Butterfield , B . Bradley , A . Bowler and J . Leeming , twelve months with hard labour . For riot , J . Ickeringill , six months with hard labour . J . Crabtree , two months , * and J , Kilvington , one month . A . Tomlinson , convicted of uttering a
seditious speech , eighteen mouths without hard labour . J . Bland , for neglect of duty as a special constable , to be fined 107 ., and to be imprisoned until such fine be paid . These brutal sentences must excite the reprobation of every friend to justice . Men of England , again we appeal to you to protect the unhappy families of your persecuted brethren . Not a moment should be lost in raising the 10 _J . for payment of the fine imposed upon Mr Bland . Let the leading Chartists of Yorkshire see to this without delay . Privilege , 'is rampant , Labour is prostrated in the dust , "Right" and "Justice'' have become mockeries—mere words . " _fc » w _» grind the poor , and rich men rule the laws . "
Parliamentary Review. The Report Of The ...
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . The Report of the Select Committee on the National Land Company was presented this week , and gave rise to an interesting conversation in the House , which wc have given in full . This is not the place in which to indulge in any commentary on that Report , or to discuss the various questions connected with
the past proceedings , or the future course which should be adopted by the promoters of the Company . One fact only , in connexion with the presentation ofthe Report , we notice . It silences , once and for ever , all the calumniators who have attacked the honesty and the motives of Mr O'Connor , in a series of slanderous and virulent attacks , unparalleled in this country , either for the length of time over which they have extended , or the audacity and violence of the assailants . Of course these veracious scribes will , with their usual ingenuity and disregard of truth , invent excuses ,
and concoct articles in plenty , to cover their ignominious defeat , and continue to bespatter the honourable member for Nottingham with abuse , all the more bitterly because he has so signally defeated tlieir attempts to assassinate his character . But rave and calumniate as they may , they cannot oyerturn the ' fact , that after a careful , minute , and protracted inquiry into the whole proceedings and accounts ofthe Company—an investigation conducted with an offensive and indecent hostile feeling on the part ofthe Chairman , and at least one member of the committee , the honesty and the motives
of Mr 0 Connor have passed through the ordeal not only unscathed , but in a manner which reflects the highest honour upon his disinterested sacrifices for the benefit of others , in time , energy , and money . So far from having in any degree benefited b y his connexion with the Land Company , it is now on record , solemnly published to the world , on the honour of a oommittee of an Assembly which has been proclaimed to consist of the "first gentlemen in the world , " that his private interests have suffered from
that connexion ; and that , independent of the devotion of his time and his money , to a large extent , in travelling to inspect and purchase Estates , and in superintendin 0-the practical operations on these Estates , the Company owes him a sum _^ calculated hy one eminent accountant , at nearly 3 , 300 / ., and by another , who is still more eminent—the celebrated Mr Finlayson—at 3 , 400 / . Mr O'Connor may justly be proud of the jury by which he has been tried and the position in which he is placed by the verdict .
But , besides this triumphant result , as regards the personal character of Mr O'Connor , the Company itself has also reason to rejoice that the inquiry has taken place . It has p laced the good faith of all the parties concerned in it beyond doubt . Although there may have been unavoidable irregularities in the keeping ofthe booke , and in other small details—although the Plan neither falls within the strict scope _[ of the existing law , nor perhaps , is , in all its facts , the best that could be devised for carrying out the objects of its
projectors , yet there is not the sli ghtest imputation on the motives or conduct of any one connected with these proceedings ; and Parliament is not only recommended to grant powers to wind up the undertaking , if they shall be asked for , and to relieve the Company from the penalties which they may have * ' incautiously" incurred , but also that the parties should be left entirel y open to come before the legislature with any new plan which they may consider better adapted to secure-the object in view .
This is the result of the investigation which , it was hoped , would irretrievably destroy the character , reputation , and influence of Mr O'Conmr . We wish his opponents joy of it , and leave them to their own reflections . Their own disappointed rancour , and the " still small voice" of any conscience they may happen to have left , are quite as severe _punishments as we could ii / sh them to suffer .

The everlasting Sugar Duties formed the staple of the business on Monday night when the Chancellor uf the Exchequer iti order to get rid of the difficult y in which he was placed by the "twenty-three errors' " pointed out by Lord G . Bentinck , proposed a new scale altogether , the result of which it was stated by the advocates of the West Indian interest , will be to violate all the premises of relief held out by the Government to that interest . Lord George ironically con . gratulated the Minister of Finance on " the debonnaire air with which he came down to that House and announced that he was about to disappoint the expectations of the We st Indies , the Mauritius , and the East India interest , which he promised them no lo nger ago than Monday last "—and , above all , " it was _edifying to observe the light and trivial way in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer , whilst affecting to speak of what he called an inaccuracy , had . in fact , made an admission of guilty" to all the twenty-three _csunts of the indictment of error , preferred by Lord George . We do not wonder at the quasi leader of the Protectionists expressing his wonder at the nonchalance of Sir C . Wood on these matters . Experienced as he is in ¦ ' the ways of tbe world , " it must even , in his eyes , " beat Bannagher . " Sir Charles is not only unabashed by these dama ging exposures , but seems to think the whole thing—if not an excellent _jttke—at least as most credL table to his financial genius ! What a blessed thing it is to be brother-in-law to a powerful Whig Eavl ! r \ s to those who suffer from his incapacity , his ignorance , and his temeritywhy their ruin , or the p aralysation of a large and important commerc ' al market , is a mere bagatelle compared with the national felicity of possessing such an incomp arable financial ehief .

An attempt was made by Lord Stanley , Lord Ellenborough , Lord Glengall , and a few sympathising peers , to delay the passing of the emasculated Irish Encumbered Estates Bill , on the ground that they had not time enough to consider the amendments made bytheCommons . Delay was , in fact , defeat , and for once Lord Lansdowne plucked up spirit enough to resist a landlord opposition , and refused to give way , notwithstanding Lord Glengall threatened him that if the Bill passed , the landlords would all become Repealers . The loyalty of the landed interest is . certainl y of a very selfish and calculating character . We fear that if they were subject to one-hundredth part of the pressure which other men endure patiently , " rebellious routs and riots" would be much more plentiful than they are now .
A Bill With A Useful Object In View Is P...
A Bill with a useful object in view is passing through the House , called the " Farmers Estates Bill . " In its main object it somewhat resembles the National Land Company , with this difference , that it does not aim at embracing so large a class of persons , and that the Com " pany whose operations it will legalise , have a prudent eye to profit in their proposals to bene-. it their fellow men . Perhaps this latter part ot the scheme may be one main reason why its other objects may be tolerated . The object of the promoters is to enable them , as a Land Company , to purchase freehold properties in Ireland , in order to sell them again in fee-farms of not less than thirty acres each , to small agricultural capitalists . It is calculated that the difference in price by _bm ing Estates in the wholesale market , and selling them in the retail market , will yield sufficient profit on the capital embarked in the undertaking ; thus substantially taking up tha position so frequently maintained by Mr O'Connor on that point . The measure will , " undoubtedly , offer considerable facilities for the creation of a small yeoman class ; but we see no reason whatever for the Legislature to fix the minimum size of the farms at thirty acres . It is tying up posterity to our comparatively crude notions on agriculture , and , unless carefull y . guarded against , may lead to wholesale evictions ofthe present occupants of the Estates purchased by the Company . If this be not prevented , the Bill , _ far from improving the condition may seriously a _» _ avate the evils of Ireland , and deprive thoula ' nd . of tenants of homes , for the gain of a speculative company of profit-mongers .
