THE MDfSTEB XOTEL ALLOTTEES . It tho earnest request of the unfortHnate allotipea we insert the Mowing memorial : — . The memorial of the occupants of the _Rational land Company ' s Estate , at Minster Lovel , in the county of O _^ 01 , 1 " Shewbih , " That your memorialists have been induced , by ihe representations of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., to take shares in the aforesaid _Company , and have had their allotments awarded in accordance -with the rules of the society , and others have given large sums of money a 3 bonuses for allotments . "That the occupants have therefore broken up their homes , left their respective callings , and tra-Telled , at great expense , from distant parts of the country .
«•* That sucb allotments "were , by the rules of the said Company , to be conveyed to each occupant as freehold property , subject to the payment of four per cent , per annum on such portion of the original cost of each allotment as should remain unpaid . " Thatthe soil of such allotments , when given into their possession , was so extremely fonl and exhausted that your memorialists have laboriously and incessantly toiled , and have not been ahle to obtain therefrom a sufficiency of the commonest necessaries of subsistence .
" That the said Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., has demanded an enormous rent . _ofJFOurmeoiorialiste-in ' bis own _narne _^ " as landlord , thus attempting to mate them his tenants at will , and the property his own , having had it conveyed to himself individually , instead of in trnsfc for the Company , with whose money tbe estate was purchased . " That your memorialists have refused to pay such rent , bnt have offered-to pay interest on the capital expended on their respective allotments and remaining unpaid , declining , however , to become tenants to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., who has , in consequence thereof , commenced proceedings in ejectment against your memorialists in the names of the trustees of the mortgagee .
' That your memorialists have resisted such ejectments , gone to trial , and had judgment given against them in tbe Court of Queen ' s Bench , and in November next will be turned out of possession , and thereby be deprived of tbeir capital and labour employed in the improvement oftheir holdings . " That your memorialists have therefore consulted equity barristers , -whose opinion is , that yonr memorialists have an efficient plea in , and are consequently advised to make an application to , the Court of Chancery for redress against such injustice ; but that the costs of such proceedings in Chancery are too expensive for your memorialists , who have already exhausted all their available means in defending the aforesaid suit in ejectment . " That your memorialists , therefore , respectfully solicit the assistance of the charitable and benevolent , in order to enable yonr memorialists to take
the necessary proceedings in the Court of Chancery for tbeir protection against the crnel and unjust proceedings of Feargus O ' Connor , Esq . And your memorialists , ic . " Nm , I do not think that requires any answer except this , that the land is the best in the nmghbonrhood : that Beattie and others received £ 30 aid money ; that Beattie ' s rent , for a splendid cottage and four acres of tbe best land npon the estate , not counting the £ 30 aid money , would have been nnder £ 11 a-year ; while-4 his tramping ruffian let three acres of land withoutthe house for £ 13 _a-year ; thus having a splendid cottage , an acre of land , £ 2 profit rent , and £ 30 for nothing , and has never paid ONE FRACTION to the Company . Now here is a pious old soldier for yon .
This morning ( Thursday ) I received an appeal , signed by John _Whxcock , John Gatbakd , and James Heaths , praying- its insertion in the Northern Star ; and again stating the fact , that the censure of slaves is adulation , and from a conviction that it Trill make the reader laugh , I give it at full length . Here it is : —
THE ALLOTTEES OF MINSTER LOVEL TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ,, M . P . Sib , —Many of onr Chartist "brethren and members of the _National Land Company will scarcely believe that you have wrongfully and maliciously accused the occupants at Minster Lovel of intending to defraud the Company of its rig htful interest , and of representing them a 3 idlers and drunkards , which you knew at the s ame time to he false ; hesides which , sir , you added most flagrantly to that inji rii « 2 by refusing to tbose whom you calumniated , any reply in the organ of your abuse—tbe Northern Stxr . Yes , sir , so monstrous is that injustice , and so unblushing yonr reiterated falsehoods , that our friends could scarcely believe you capable of such foul and detestable conduct . "With a view , therefore / to satisfy those who doubt , we again essay to open yonr columns by forwarding these , onr accusations against you , ( copies of whieh will be also sent to other papers . )
Now , sir , whilst defying you to prove your allegations against us , we , on the contrary , are ready with evidence to prove so clearly , that the most infatuated of yonr present dupes—even Mr . James Sweet himself—must convict you upon every connt of our indictment . 1 st . —That you have falsely and knowingly accused us of intending to defraud ihe shareholders of their rightful interest of the Company ' s property , and have represented us as idlers and drunkards , at the same time refusing us aDy reply in your paper . 2 nd . —That you have gro ? sIy misapplied and extravagantly expended the Company ' s money , and have wasted the Company ' s property . 3 rd . —That yon have attempted to charge us as rent more by about seventy-five per cent , than the property is worth .
4 th . —That you have illegally demanded , and attempted to force ns to pay those rents to you as landlord , with the endeavour on your part to make the property your own , and us your tenants at will . 5 th . —That because we have dared to question yonr right to the property , and refused to pay yon the enormous charge yon attempted to fix npon us as rent against the rules ofthe Company , you commenced an action of ejectment against us , in the names of the trustees of the mortgagee , without their knowledge or consent . That you afterwards
colleagued with them to carry on that suit of ejectment , well knowing that you had no legal power for that purpose ; thus by treachery alone you have gained a verdict against us . 6 th . —That you have -withheld from us our conveyances , so that yon might have it in your power to drive us from off the land , and deprive us of onr capital and labour expended in improvements ; whereas , had you given those conveyances , we sbould have been legally bound to pay interest to the Company , and thus saved dispute .
7 th . —That you falsely stated that the interest of the mortgage was not paid ; therefore , you handed ns over to the tender mercies of tbe mortgagees ;" and that you falsely stated , that you were paying the interest of the mortgage out of your own pocket 8 th . —That you have not called the adjourned Conference together , as per resolution , fearing we should lay bare your iniquitous conduct . _Sow , Sir , the above are the charges that Messrs . Beattie and "Bradshaw brought before the meeting at Nottingham ; hut Mr . Sweet , in his endeavour to report himself , has thought fit to hide them ,
well knowing that it was to your interest that the cloak of ohscunty should envelope such charges . _Beassin-ed , sir , that with all the hoodwinking of yourself and ci-devant friends , that truth , like " murder , although it hath no tongue , speaks with a most miraculous organ . " _Thes-t _allegations we are prepared to prove , and that any attempt on your part to answer orgloss over them withoutthat proof , will not be satisfactory either to your readers or us for eyes are now opened that heretofore were either blinded or shut , hy the slimy and malicious falsehoods that have bo often emanated from your pen .
Signed on behalf of the allottees , J . _Wilcock , J . Gathard , J . Beattie , Committee . No . 1—You have defrauded tbe Company " you have heen idlers and drunkards , every other paper has been opened to yon , and I have published much of yonr rubbish in the Northern Star . No . 2 . —I have economically expended the Company ' s money , receiving proposals for every description of work , taking them at the lowest , and baying the best description of materials , never entered a line or figure in any account hook , Mr . Doyie and Mr . _Culungham paying the labourers every Saturday sight
James Beattie Asd His Virtuous Associate...
No . 3 . —You scoundrels , you have been charged seventy-five per cent ., less than the property is worth , and you have never paid a fraction of rent . No . 4 . —Ton vagabonds , you were all told that if you paid your" rents according , to the rules of the Company you should have your leases . No . 5 . —You jugglers , the rent demanded from you "was precisely in accordance with the rules of the Company , and in one Conference , by my recommendation , was reduced from over £ 5 to £ 4 per cent . I did not commence ejectments against you ; I had no power to do
so ; but I consented to the mortgagees doing so , in order that you should not plunder those by whose means you were , released from beggary and placed in comfort . No . 6 . —You rascals , you were told that you should have yeur leases , had you paid the Company ' s demands , hut you have not paid a fraction , while you have robbed thousands . No . 7 . —Yon swindlers , I did pay the _interest to _theonortgageeB out of my own pocket , until I discovered your rascality ; and then , to _^ _saarejmyself _^ indtb _^^ mpaoy _^ _veiyprbprf and very honourably handed you over to the tender mercies of the . mortgagees ; andi trust they will deal with you as you deserve .
No . 8 . —You rapscallions , I had nothing to do with the Conference ; nor have I prevented one being held ; but if one was called , you would he drummed out of it , you ruffians . No . 9 . — You thieves , if Mr . Sweet and his friends had treated Beattie and Bradshaw in a rougher manner , they would have deserved thanks for it ; and now , you scoundrels , you may traverse the whole country , by night and by day , and , I trust , that everywhere you will meet with such a reception as you deserve . You three vagabonds owe the Company very nearly ONE HUNDRED POUNDS RENT , and yon have not paid a fraction . I forgot to state that this pious , doleful , hard working , starving Gathard , received bacon , fowls , and all sorts of dainty food from a London man , for TWO ACRES of his miserable land ,
while this doleful creature and his family were starving . Now , my friends , I think I have given your bitterest enemies a Tery clear , nnmistakeable , and unanswerable reply ; and , I trust , that whenever you meet them you will treat them as they deserve . Before I conclnde my letter , allow me to furnish the reader / with the following conviction of Gathabd , and his idle friends— -not supplied by me , but by his brother allottees , and who must be the best judges of bis industry and integrity . Here follows the narrative : —
TO V . 0 COSSOR , ESQ ., M . P . Sir , —I feel it my duty to inform you that Beattie and Bradshaw are travelling the country in order to get money for their lawyer to file a bill in Chancery ; it is said they have received nine pounds this week from different parts . A letter has been received from Beattie ; he says he will not return home until he has got fifty pounds . Itis said they have visited Coventry , where Gilbert is ; also Leeds and Nottingham , where Jackson lives . It is said they got a vote of censure passed
on you at "Nottingham . Gilbert and Jackson were both allottees here , dancing-, Jazy fellows . Beattie ' s woman and Mrs . Holmes , whose husband is away , are continually drunk . Mr . Eeece , their lawyer , was here last week , told them he could not find them money , they must get funds ; he could not see it was any good to go to Chancery , but that he conld do something for them . Beattie started directly on his tour . May you be preserved to carry out the Land Plan is the prayer of Tours faithfully , Charterville , Sept . 26 . C . Willis .

Charterville, Sept. 2gtb. Honoured Sib,—...
Charterville , Sept . 2 Gtb . _Honoured Sib , —I have sent you a copy of a letter which I sent yesterday to the J / _ancnester Examiner , in answer to John Gathard ; if it meet your approbation "we should like it to he put in tbe Star . Tours Faithfully , Chables Willis .
" TO THE MASCIIESTEB EXAMISEK AND TIMES . " We , the undersigned allottees on the Minster Lovel Estate , having read a letter in the NortJiern Star taken from your paper , the 31 st of August , signed John Gathard , on behalf of the allottees , we beg to say we knew nothing of it . ; he first speaks of Mr . O'Connor ' s mismanagement ; we think the mismanagement is with him . He got his house , four acres of land , £ 30 aid money , a quantity of wood and manure , and the land ploughed , for his £ 5 4 s . share ; we think it would have been more honourable in him to have said he was not able to work his land , than to have blamed our friend Mr . O Connor . He next speaks of having endured nearly
three years incessant hard labour and absolute want of the commonest necessaries of life . Mark this fact , the whole of his four acres' produce this year is not worth £ 5 ; it has not been half cultivated since he has been here ; while his neighbours , with only two acres , on the other side ofthe road _. have produced a great deal more than him ; could you witness his land , you would say he must want the conimon necessaries ; he has said he was tobe our instructor , having a knowledge of agriculture . Now , we admit , that we stood in need of some instructor , we having suffered from inexperience ; but Mr . O'Connor has made allowance for that , being willing to take a part for rent ; he has taken part , and
acknowledgments to endeavour to pay ; but Gathard has not paid a farthing , neither will he make any acknowledgment ; we think it the greatest piece ot ingratitude . We acknowledge great lenity has been shown to us . He appeals to you to receive subscriptions , to enable them to file a bill in Chaneery to stay the proceedings in the Queen ' s Bench ; we leave it to your readers , after these undeniable facts , whether it is a case worthy of public sympathy .

jNow I think I might have spared myself the trouble of making any comment , as the above will furnish the reader with a veritable proof ofthe suffering of my rascally friends . Your faithful Friend , Feargus O'Connor
¦¦ ^ " Ruin Him With Expenses."
¦¦ _^ " RUIN HIM WITH EXPENSES . "
To The Working Men. Mr Fkiends.—1 Think ...
TO THE WORKING MEN . Mr Fkiends . —1 think the good old maxim of Lord _Melbourne ,
" EUIN HBI WITH EXPENSES , " is being very faithfully carried ont , and there never was a man who devoted his time to the service of tbe people , who has not been prosecuted , persecuted , and ruined . I will now g ive yon an instance of my share of this maxim . During the present week I received my own solicitor ' s bill of costs in the Mackamaba and Bradshaw cases ; it amounts to five hundred and twenty-nine pounds , fourteen shillings and threepence ; and should the court confirm the verdict given in Biiadshaw ' s
case , God only knows what it will amount to . You are aware that MACNAMARA ' s action was for defending some of the Chartist prisoners , and you are aware that he recovered over two hundred and forty pounds : and now I _^ 1 give you the snmmary of the expenses in these two actions , not counting what I may be liable to , if Bbadshaw succeeds : — Solicitor's bill 529 14 3 7 jf _^ _° _»'? biU over 240 0 0 _ffi _* , ck , n _s 100 0 0 Incidental expenses 60 0 0 Total expenses £ 929 14 3
To The Working Men. Mr Fkiends.—1 Think ...
Now then , never haying travelled a mile _^ al your expense , never having eaten a meal at yowl expense , never having allowedI _b-qeofyour clwf to go undefended , let me ask you if one _ntWi can be expected to do a nation ' s work ? T _£ defence of Frost , Wiliiams , " ' and Jone _^ cost me £ 280 more than was subscribed : ; while the advocacy of your cause has cost me an amount of money which would " , hayemade me , not only rich , but a very wealthy man ; and now I appeal to you , working men of England , whether you imagine that a man can . do a nation ' s work ; whether , you rel | _j upon Lord _Melbourne ' s maxim , . pi
"RUIN HIM WITH EXPENSES ; " ? or . whether you will sustain the advocate . of your cause against tbe ferocity of your Oppressors ? Your Faithful Friend , ' 77 7- 7 7- ' . Feargus O'Connor .

" / _^ -----: ¦ ¦"'¦¦ ' _' - _¦ - ' ¦ - * - ' _^ _-j _^ . * _- _....--.. - " ¦ , My Friends , —I have just returned from Belgium , through which country I have made several tours , for the purpose of gaining information as to tbeir mode of cultivating the land , and living upon their industry . It gladme
dens me , and it sicken _^ when I consider the state of that country . It gladdens me because I see no paupers , and because I see the land highly cultivated it sickens me when I remember that , Belgium , with a population of thirty per cent , larger than England , has no paupers ; while in England , the labouring classes pay eight millions a year to support their unwilling idle brethren .
In Belgium they pay £ 5 , £ 6 , and £ 7 an acre for poor land , consisting of blowing sand . The usual term of a lease is nine years ; and at the end of that period , the occupant will be able to pay over £ 200 an acre for the purchase of his soil . Working men of England , the present state of every country in Europe convinces me that England is upon the eve of a great and mighty change ; and , therefore , as my chief object ever has been , and ever shall be , to turn that change to your advantage , I now wish to prepare you for it . The change that I wish for is a moral and not a physical change . I wish
for a moral change , that the power of the mind may silence the cannon ' s roar . I do not wish for a physical change , because the cannon's roar would speedily destroy the united mind . In order to prepare you for such a change , I would suggest the propriety of holding a Conference as speedily as possible , in Manchester , the great Northern hive , for the purpose of re-establishing a perfect union of your order . If elected as a delegate to that Conference , I will devote my mind to the drawing up of a programme , the adoption and following of which will prove to the Government that , however languid and apathetic the tongue may be the mind is still active .
There are a great number of people who do not understand the meaning of my maxims . One is , that "itis my desire to MAKE THE RICH RICHER , AND THE POOR RICH . '' This is construed by some as meaning that I would give more money and greater wealth to the rich ; whereas the veritable meaning is , that I would give much less money to the rich , whilel . wonld make them more wealthy _bydestroyingenormonstaxation—byprotecting their property , by justice and satisfaction , and not by the musket , tbe bludgeon , the prison , the bastile , the transport' ship , and upholding
their faith by archbishops , bishops , archdeacens , deacons , prelates , parsons , priests , curates , judges , barristers , lawyers , gaolers , turnkeys , spies , detectives , policemen , and hangmen : I would make the man who now possesses fifty thousand a year richer upon ten thousand a year . I would not have a duke , a marquis , an earl , a noble lord , a baronet , or a knight , in the kingdom . As all men have been made after God ' s image , I would have men governed by laws which are consonant with God's commandments , and not by laws which are made by the rich to oppress and destroy the poor .
Working men , however apathetic you- may be while trade is COMPARATIVELY GOOD , I never fail in those times to perform my duty , which is to prepare the mind forthe time when trade gets bad . Perhaps the absurd Exhibition of 1851 may have a great effect , as to harmonising the mind of all nations . Every nation upon the continent now—and especiall y France—feels a jealousy towards England ; and it is to prepare you for the coming struggle that I now invite you to hold a Conference at Manchester ; it is the place of all others where intellect can be developed ; it is the centre of industry , and the hive of wealth .
During the last session of Parliament you very properly declined forwarding any petitions relative to the Charter , or any other measure ; and it is because you have nothing to expect from tbe House of Commons that I wish to prepare yonr minds , so that when a change come , the mind of England maybe the basis of English industry , English prosperity , and English tranquillity . You may rely upon it that you have not , as yet , felt the effect that the death of Sir Robert Peel will have upon the English government ; the hostility manifested to him by tbe Protectionists induced
him and his party to support the Whigs ; but now that he is no more , and as self-interest is the basis of human action , you may depend upon it that his party will be like a rope of sand , and will be fished for with the Whig bait , and the Protectionist bait . If Peel had died earlier in the session , the session would not have concluded as it has ; and as I expect the next session to manifest a good deal of party and factious opposition , I wish to prepare you for the coming struggle ; and that is another reason for inviting you to hold a Conference at Manchester .
Working-men , it makes my very blood run cold when I think of the position that you are in , and the position that you might be in ; and it horrifies me when I reflect that your poverty and degradation is solely based upon your antagonism and disunion . If I repeated it to surfeit , I will tell you again that mere spouters and men who give up their trade and labour to agitate and advocate Chartism , would rather have a guinea a week for advocating any other ism than a pound a week for advocating Chartism , as self-interest is the basis of human action . This maxim does not
apply generally , as there are and have been some good , virtuous , sterling , honest , independent patriots , who have risked their lives and liberty in the advocacy of your cause ; but these are mere exceptions . Poor Cuffay , Lacey , Frost , Williams , Jones and others , tbey risked their lives in England ; O'Brien , Meagher , Mitchel , M'Manus , _O'Don-OHOE _, Doheny and others , risked their lives in Ireland , and I have risked my life both in England and Ireland ; but these are mere exceptions to the general rule , and my desire is lo preserve the life and liberty of every man ; and I tell you , for the hundredth time , that if your order were aB united for a month aB your

The Executive Committee of the National Charter Association met at the office , 14 , Southampton-street , Strand , on' Wednesday evening , Octooer 2 nd—Mr . Milne in the chair . Communications were read from Mr . J . Cook , Ipswich , requesting cards and rules to form a locality in that town ; from Mr . Garrard , of the same town , thanking the Executive for the policy adopted by them , and giving hopes that Chartism will again flourish in that part of the country ; from Tiverton , enclosing an order for twelve" shillings , requiring cards , and expressive of confidence in the present Executive Committee ; from Arbroath , announcing the formation of a locality , and their admiration of the advocacy of social rights ; from Todmorden ,

Bremer , Edinburgh , containing a remittance of one pound fifteen shillings , holding out hopes of progress and further supplies ; from W . H . Chadwick , Leeds , offering his services in propagating the principles of the Association in any town or district through whioh he may pass ; from J . A . Hogg , Howioh , announcing the formation ofa locality after a lecture by Ernest Jones , and applying for cards and rules . The sub-committee reported from the committee for fusing the several
democratic and social reform societies , tbat their report was completed and was ready to be submitted to the Conference on the 6 th inst . The committee then adjourned until Wednesday evening , tho 9 th inst . The Chartist Metropolitan Deleoate Council having seen the necessity of an extended plan of giving publicity to meetings , lectures , and other business connected with the cause in the metropolis and suburbs , have arranged in council to furnish a list of such matters fortnightly , for the information of the people , and hope that the list will be widely circulated by their democratic brethren . They have also issued the following circular : — . .
" to the working men of the metropolis . " Brothers , —It is said , Unity is strength , ' * Numbers is power '—which we veritably believe to be true—for union in purpose insures harmony in working , and thereby creates strength . Through the want of a proper union , might reigns triumphant over right . Allowing two classes to exist , that of monopolising tyrants , and slave-toiling , creating people , and these classes have existed in this country for ages past , and too well we know of their present existence . Those in the station of the toiling or working class , are surrounded with misery and poverty , and are fast sinking beneath the standard of human nature , whilst those termed the upper class , have added extravagance to
extravagance , and have multiplied their despotic acts . The knowledge of this bids us seek for a change to eradicate those and _stil !_ greater evils . We promulgate the principles ofthe People ' s Charter . 'Tis quite evident that the amelioration of tho people ' s enslaved condition , cannot be effected unless the evil be entirely swept away , and that through the voice of the whole people . Knowing that the happiness , prosperity , and comfort of a nation rests in the hands of those with whom its care is entrusted , wc consider it but just that the whole nation ' s feelings should be understood and represented to ensure true happiness ; but , it is not so—and it is therefore necessary that a change should be brought about—a change that will fully
insure the liberty of the people . This great change can be realised by obtaining the Charter . Working men , we call upon you to study the principles we aim to establish ; attend our various meetings ; unite with us ; work with us to obtain our political and social rights ; band yourselves together in your several localities , and , each considering himself a wheel to the great machine of progress , deeming it necessary always to fill your offiee , never neglecting the mighty work , but travelling on boldly , in unison and harmony with each other . Working men , if you would but do this , the wrongs of the world would quickly disappear—the Charter , and all
other rights and privileges naturally belonging to man , would be enjoyed by all . Then , brethren , we call upon you to be up and doing . Form new localities in every district where there are none—such as the following : —Camden Town , Hampstead , Bow , Stratford , Camberwell , Brixton , Clapham , Wandsworth , Iloxton , Kensington , Hammersmith , Chelsea , and Woolwich . Organise , organise , organise ! Agitate , agitate , agitato ! Cease not till ye obtain your right—the Charter!—On the pare of the council , " W . A . Fletcher , J . J . Brisck , " E . Aleco .

Golben-lane , Babbioan . —A public meeting was held at the Working Men ' s Hall , 26 , Golden-lane , Barbican , on Monday evening , September 30 th , which was numerously attended . Mr . Delaforce was unanimously called to tho chair . Mr . Stallwood moved the following resolution ;— " That this meeting have heard with delight of the prospect of a fraternal union of the various sections oi democratic and social reformers , and trust that such projected unions will , without giving up a single iota of Chartism , be founded on such a broad basis as shall include every section of thorough-going political and social reformers , and be in fine a real democratic and social union . " Mr . Stallwood took a cursory view of the several sections of political
and social reformers at present extant , and showed the mischief which several societies for one and the same purpose caused , the extra expenses entailed on their members , and how much more powerful one compact body wa « than many small societies , to achieve any given object , and resumed his seat loudly applauded . —Mr . Brisck , in seconding the resolution , contended that political power was only good as a machine to effect social amelioration . France had taught them an important lesson , whicb they ought not to lose sight of ; there could be no doubt about the good effects of such a union as that proposed . He hoped the trades bodies would join them ; and it certainly was a good augury to find that the trades were about to send delegates to the conference on Sunday next . ( Loud cheers . )—Mr . Finlen supported the resolution , declaring an amalgamation , or fusion essentially necessary .
and effort after effort should be made until success crowned their endeavours . —Mr . Elliot also supported the resolution , and said the projeoted union was necessary to place man in that station the deity intended him to occupy ; to accomplish this , expediency must bo set aside , and stern principles be rigidly adhered to . The meeting was also addressed by Mr . Nixon , ( lato of Kirkdale prison , ) Mr . Benny , Mr . Llewellyn and others , after which tlio resolution was carried unanimously . In consequence of what had fallen from Mr . Nixon , Mr . Finlen challenged him to show " that any permanent good could be obtained without legislative aid . " Mr . Nixon accepted the challenge , and the discussion was arranged to tako place on Friday evening , Oct . llth , at tho Working Man ' s Hall , Golden-lane . A voto of thanks was given to the chairman , and the meeting terminated .

enco . The subject—" _"BreMand" Freedom "—was treated in ' a masterly manner . He depicted the misery and degradation of the great mass of the people , and showed that the present-prosperity was only temporary , aiid could not last long , but—from causes which he pointed out ;—would be followed by a terrible _re-aotion . He pointed to the land , as the only safe and permanent resource for the working classes ; but under the present system , while the land was locked up by the existing laws , the degradation of the people must continue , as they would still remain the slaves of the capitalist : in short , that until the people obtained their political rights , as laid down in the People's Charter , there never could be free trade in land , and , consequently there
could be no permanent prosperity in the country . Throughout the learned gentleman was listened to with the greatest attention , and repeatedly applauded . At the close of the lecture Mr . C . Hunter moved , " That the Chartist Association be re-organised in this town , " which was seconded and carried , only one hand being held up against it . — Mr . James Scott moved , " That this meeting cannot separate without expressing their thanks to the workmen in the employ of Barclay and Co ., for the reception they gave to the female flogger and butcher , Haynau ; and may all such tyrants meet with a like reception . " This was carried with acclamation . A vote of thanks was then given to Mr . Jones for his able lecture , and after a vote of
thanks to the chairman , Mr . A . Ilaig , the meeting separated . _Chei-ibniiam , —Mr , Thomas Cooper , of London , having been engaged to lecture here two nights for the Working Men's Institution , that gentleman kindly proffered the Chartists his services on the third night , for a political lecture . The Town Hall was taken , and Mr . Cooper delivered a splendid lecture upon " The European Revolutions of 1848 , the Present J State of the Continent , and the Prospects of Coming Changes at Home and Abroad , " to a small but delighted audience . He gave an eloquent and forcible description of past events , the present clouded position of Democracy , and a
cheering prospect of the future , with astirring appeal to the people , especially to the young men , to be up and doing , and be prepared for the inevitable uprising of their glorious principles , and to be ready to calmly take advantage of circumstances to work out their own redemption . A resolution was carried , thanking Barclay and Perkins' men for thrashing the Austrian Hyena-Haynau , and sparing the life of a fellow who never spared the lives of his _fellow-men , when in his power , nor the feelings of honourable and virtuous woman . At the conclusion , 7 s . 3 d . was collected for the Polish and Hungarian brethren .
Washington Bb _' igade . —Mr . T . M . Wheeler lectured at the King and Queen , Foley-street , on Sunday . evening , on " The Evils ofa Standing Army . " Mr . John Arnott in * the chair . Mr .

. _$ _-j * S ? _P ' _' $ _'Pp _^ business of the evening in a few app ' _rbpriaie remarks , and called upon Mr . George Smart , an elector , to move the first resolution as follows : —Resolved : — " That notwithstanding the late attempts of the government to put down the agitation for the iust political rights of the unrepresented people , by vindicative prosecution and imprisonments , and the vile slanders of a corrupt and hireling press , we hereby resolve to stand by the People ' s Charter , and to renew and maintain the agitation for the just and noble principles embodied therein , until the combined efforts of an oppressed and indignant people shall have achieyed a glorious triumph . " Mr . Smart called on them not only to pass this resolution , but also to act upon it , and show by their future conduct that they had profitted by the experience of the past , and were determined to be slaves no longer .
Mr . D . Deans seconded the resolution in a few well chosen remarks ; he exhorted the people to persevere in the noble struggle for liberty , as a struggle worthy of the support and countenance of all good men , and trusted that the time would soon come when they would be . free and happy . The resolution was put by the chairman , and carried amidst the applause of the meeting . Mr . D . WmonT then came forward , and proposed the second resolution asfollows : —Resolved : — "That in the opinion of this meeting , Mr . Ernest Jones , for his talented and straightforward advocacy of the people's cause , and for his stern and faithful adherence to the principles of true justice and liberty , through suffering , prosecution and
imprisonment , deserves well of his country and his kind ; and this meeting tenders to him its sincere thanks , gratitude and esteem , and begs to assure him that these sentiments had been rather increased than diminished , by the late vindictive prosecution and unjust imprisonment which he so courageously endured for his devotion to the cause of the oppressed and suffering people . " Mr . Wright , in a stirring speech , called on the meeting to approve of the resolution outwardly , as he was sure that in their hearts they responded to the sentiments embodied therein . He called on them to show to their oppressors that though Mr . Jones had not gained wealth like them—by usurious exactions , torn from the sweat and blood of the sons and daughters of toil—though his noble brow was not encircled with the false hero ' s laurel wreath , red with the blood of bis victims , and watered with the tears of
the widow and orphans he had made—though he had not acquired title like them , by low intrigue , by usurpation , and by deeds of violence and death , his honours were more honourable and more enduring , and his reward more sure—the approval of a good conscience , and the eternal gratitude of his country and his kind . The true hero is not he who descends from the ducal mansion , nor he who conies from the prince ' s palace , but he who comes forth from the prisoner ' s gloomy dungeon ; for * ' Princes and Lords are but the breath of pigs , An honest man ' s the noblest work of God 1 " The resolution was seconded by the veteran , Mr . Archibald M'Donald , in a brief and homely address , and he called on the meeting to show that the government could never make them forsake friends who had suffered for the cause as Mr . Jones had done , and had stood by his principles through good report and bad report .
The resolution was then put , and carried amidst enthusiastic cheering . Mr . _EnNEsr Jones was then introduced , and was again received by the hearty cheering of the assemblage . He spoke for upwards of half an hour , and was much applauded . He said , it was out of the question to talk of surrender . The watchword should now be , " The Charter and Victory , " and the people would obtain it whenever they were willing to havo it . He called on them to organise now , and to be ready for the coming struggle . The people had not been defeated in 1848 , they had defeated themselves . The gleam of prosperity which shone on the manufacturing class would soon pass away , and then they would all be Chartists , * but
now was the time to prepare for this , when they could reason calmly on the political questions of the day . He repeated the words for which he had been imprisoned in 184 S — ' * Organise ! organise !! organise !!! " After earnestly urging them to join the National Charter Association , and apologising for the shortness of his address , on the plea of bad health , and the fact that he had to address them at greater length on Saturday evening , he sat down amidst the warm applause of the entire meeting . Several hundred copies of the address issued by the late Scottish Convention at Edinburgh were distributed through the meeting . Mr . _Georqe Smart then proposed tho following resolution : — " That Italians and Hungarians com *
mand the sympathy , and their Austrian oppressors the hatred , of the people of the united kingdom ; that Marshal Haynau , the Austrian military executioner and woman-flogger , their tyrant oppressor , is the enemy of the human race , outlawed by the voice of the people , and amendable to popular justice ; and that , therfore , tho punishment inflicted upon that miscreant on the occasion of his visit to Barclay and Perkins's brewery , was honourable and praiseworthy to the administrators thereof ; and . this meeting declares the brewery workmen , and the spirited men and women who assisted in chastising ' the Austrian butcher , ' deservo well of their country , and are entitled to the thanks of the friends of freedom throughout the world "
The reading of the resolution , and the strong and _uninistakeable denunciation of the miscreant Haynau , hy the mover , was received by the meeting with great applause , and the resolution being seconded by Mr . D . Deans , was put , and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was then proposed to the chairman , by Mr . Jones , seconded by Mr . Wright , and agreed to by acclamation ; and after three hearty cheers for Mr . Jones , and three for " The Charter and "Victory , " the meeting separated .
FRUIT FESTIVAL . After the public meeting a conversational fruit festival was held in the Ante-room , in honour of Mr . Jones ' s visit . The company enjoyed the conversation of Mr . Jones for an hour or two—services of fruit and ginger beer were given out , and several excellent songs were sung by Mr . Cummings and Mr . Braw Lee , during the evening ; " Lochnagar" was also sung by another gentleman , and " Kinlooh of Dundee" by another of the company . The party broke up at twelve o ' clock , all much pleased with the treat they had got , and the enjoyment of Mr . Jones ' s presence . ( Continued to the fifth page . )
Collision In The Bristol Channel.—On Mon...
Collision in the Bristol Channel . —On Monday a collision , happily not attended by any very serious consequences , occurred in the Bristol Channel , at a short distance from Port 9 head . The accounts ofthe occurrence given by different parties vary materially ; but it would seem that the Wave and Fairy Queen , both of them steamers plying between Portshead and Bristol , fouled each other , and in so doing came into collision with a schooner which was lying at anchor near the mouth of the river . The
principal damage is alleged to be done to the Fairy Queen , and it is rumoured that the mattor will torm tne subject of a legal inquiry .
