But if I -were in search of an answer ; to any complaint that may he preferred * - could I find a more conclusive one than reference to my letter in the "Northern Star , " in which I _"orgentl y requested- _Jevery man , -who was desirous of obtaining , an . allotment on that estate , to go in person and examine it , - and not to send Hobson or the "Whistler ; " and that I would not be held responsible for the complaints of those' -who _' did not pay their money _' wiih their eyes open . I am not one to look' sli g htingl y npon the
comp lamts ofthe working classes , and ; especiall y the complaints of women many of-whom , I am told , were alarmed lest their children shonld _iall into the open wells ; But * this I will correct And now let me state the position of a man holding foiir acres of land upon that estate , and I -will take the average Bonus at 75 Z . In that case , taking the average price of land , " the cost of building , and expense of seed , and caltivating tiie whole , will amount
to about 2751 . I nave reduced the cost of land by the sale of house and twenty-eig ht acres , -fi _* om 35 / . to about 32 ? . per acre . . The man , therefore , who has paid * 2 _ol . Bonus for the -average allotment will be liable to 81 . a-year rent j . and I undertake to say , "that in less than one "week he "will get a solvent-tenant who -will take _fliatliouse , land , and crops ataierit _oflGf . a-year , and "will never be a day in arrear ; thus leaving the duped Bonus payer 81 . per year "interest for his ' lol . _' , or nearly twelve per cent .
- . _* - ., forhis money . .. . - -: - " _^ _l-ar _^ Hi _^ aHottees _^ _shp-old _^ a _^ _rT _Oderrfand that . * they -v _^ not " have _^ to _^" pa" _^ _^ ~ - _* c ¦ - ¦ November twelvemonth ; and they _sho-ald-te "¦ ~ ther nnderstahd , that the land fs _IITHEEEEE , -while Minster Lovel , that did not _aistvntMn ol . an acre as much as Brorasgrove , pays at the rate of SIX SHILLINGS
AND EIGHT PENCE an acre ; and thus every -four acres at Bromsgrove is relieved-of 1 ? . 6 s . 8 d . a year h y being titke-fiee , and which , as a matter of course , the agricultural labourer becoming tenant to the bonus buyer -would take into ac ' ecount ; and then he would nnd that instead of paying 16 L a year tent , he was onl y pay ing l ± l 13 s . id . a year , as his land would be tithe-free .
It has happened that , upon every single estate , the most fortunate allottees have invariably grumbled with 30 Z . of aid-money m their pockets ; and such an effect has _^ this constant ingratitude had upon my feelings , that I , -with the consent ofthe Directors , have resolved to hold a Conference at Notting ham , on Monday , the Gth of August , when that _Conference , representing the whole body of members , shall decide -whether the afiairs ol the Company shall be wound up , and then I shall be able to present a balance-sheet to & e Conference , from the period ofthe Report o f ihe Parliamentary Committee , down , ¦ - . _*» Saturday , the -4 th of August . And that hemg , W flftpr I have completed the purchase

Great Reform Meeting At Aberdeen. Last W...
GREAT REFORM MEETING AT ABERDEEN . last week , one of the most important meetings ever held in our city , was assembled in Union Hall , Blackfriar-street . The hall , although capable of giving easy accoinmodation to more than 2 , 000 , was lied equal to expectation . On the- motion of Mr . George Smart , Mr . William Lyon , farmer and cattle dealer , took the chair . * The Cn . uRM .. « - spoke at considerable length , and in a veiy neat and . appropriate speech urged upon the middle classes the necessity of throwing aside their apathy before it "Was too late . Only when insolvency had made them think had they spoken out , and this he believed was the sole cause which had
made , that class begin to take a leaning towards the reforms demanded by the working classes . He hoped an indissoluble union -would erelong be formed among all classes of reformers , and that that union would be based upon all the points contained in the Charter . He would not oppose men who did not go so far as himself , yet upon all occasions he would take the liberiy to expound his views as to how far reformers should go ; and in the way of ordinary dealing ! he would never accept ot an instalment for the payment ofajustdebt unless the creditor produced ample security to jay the balance-when he demaii'deait . ( Cheers ' . ) _-. _Gr " The Chairman introduced Mr . AncmBALO _M'Dosat .-d to move the first resolution as follows : — " That
it is the opinion of this meeting the grievous ' burthens , privations , and - "mfferings , ; which the great mass ofthe people of Great Britain and Ireland have long endured , and of which they have just cause to complain , arise from , and are tbe results of , class legislation ; and this monstrous system will not be removed , nor a wise andjust state . ofsociety estabUshed ,. nntil _theHouse of Commons is made a _reflex of the whole " , people * . ' - / . "Mr ! ,, MfDonald spoke at great length hi adducing ; proofs _^' support _w the resolution , in a manner ' "which ' seemed to make a deep impression upon theij meeting ; He-dwelt ' at great length upon-the growing difficulties of : the peop leof our conritiy , but when he adverted to , the state ' of Ireland , .-where the . eople , are dying by
hundreds and-thousands from the want ofthe necessaries of life , the whole ' meeting seemed electrified into a state ' of horror . : Mr . * " M'Donald lhaving touched upon these particulars , called " upon the meeting to" say whether it thought such misery could exist in any fertile . country-under a well regulated legislation . ( Cries of "No . " ) Mr . M'Donald concluded ly calling upon , the meeting to be las ' -one in ' an _^ -hi "their demand to _^ be _abutted within the ' 'i ( ale ' of the constitution , _^ and " _- _^^^^^ his seat loudly cheered .

contained in Mr . . "Norman s letter , . namely , that . each man received os . per week , with which to find food , messengers , and ail other necessaries . . The figures concerning Mrs . Donovan also confirm . the statements contained in his letter . What , therefore , cain have been the object of the parties who published this long letter ? It states that- " these letters have already caused great excitement and . much unpleasant sensation in the minds ofthe Chartist members of this locality . The unfair insinuations contained in the language of these epistles have created much anxiety , and severely wounded the feelings of . the Manchester Yictim Committee . " "We sec nothing in these letters calculated to'disturb the feelings of any body of men , and deny that they contained any unfair insinuations ; * we do not deal in insinuations .
we stated facts , and if the delicate nerves of any portion ofthe . Committee are disturbed at such , we cannot help them . It further states , that ,: "We , the : Chartist . Council of this locality ,-have _Unanimously agreed to examine minutely the statements , < fcc Having , as in duty bound , read and heard the written and oralstafements made by each partythe incarcerated victims and the Victim Committee . " This is a pure and unmitigated falsehood from end to end . No such examination has taken place * and not a sentence , either orally or otherwise , has passed on the subject . We have written several letters to the Manchester Victim Committee ' , and the Manchester Council , individually and collectively , in which we made various complaints , ' but received no answer , and finding ourselves treated with silent contempt we have discontinued writing to themfor the last three months . "We have written a long letter concerning ' a libellous arid most infamous printed handbill , addressed to the working
men of Manchester , signed . " George Henry Smith , " in which some of the leading , Chartists were held . up to the public as the vilest and most infamous characters , bankrupt . in principle , and devoid of . honest ** . We requested that bur letter , which was sighed by all the nine then' together , should be read to' the members of the Chartist body at their next meeting , " and demanded that the writer of the said handbill should be called on to name the parties to whom he alluded ; but our letter was never heard of since . Wehave also . written several times , to complain of the . scurrilous and degrading letters that _;* were sent from the" comiiittec to , us , and which passed through the hands of the governor , " but never received a particle of explanation . We have endeavoured tp cause these matters to be made known _;* . td * the members in Manchester , arid have reason'to believe that they have been kept in the dark concerning them . So , much for the written and oral examination bfthese sensitive individuals .
This letter also charges us with " using language of ingratitude arid abuse , arid making statements at variance with truth . " _Whereare the proofs !? The statements cbritained'in the letters of Messrs . Norman arid Donovan are not disputed / arid : the , £ ' es supplied by the" eburieircorroborate therii . ! They state that they "cannot at present do more than merely give . a bare outline ofa few facts , in opposition to assertions _^ made , by Mrs-. --White and Mrs . Donovan . We _cannot-understand what is meant bythisallusiori . It is ' probably a misprint ! . ' . -Well , where is the . outline ? --Wh ere are the ' facts .. thus promised ? We carifind'rio such thing .

The Baron-then retired amid the samo demonstrations of favour as greeted his appearance . Lord Jom * f . Manners came forward , but was received " with such a torrent of yells , _gvoans , and discordant sounds of every description , that his words were inaudible even to the , reporters close beside him . After an ineffectual attempt by the sheriff to gain a hearing forthe noble lord , Baron Rothschild entreated the meeting to hear him . His lordship advanced to address the meeting , but his presence was hailed ; with the ' - 'game volleys of groans and ¦ hisses , and no entreaties made On his behalf , appeared to have the slightest effect on the great iriass yof the meeting ... . The whole of _; his address ; therefore , was delivered amidst a-storm of voices ; and
so completely , did his opponents succeed in the object , they had in view , that those , immediately beside him could only catch mere ' fragment ' s of sentences , and were almost entirely dependent on their imagination for any clue to his meaning . , The noble lord was understood to say , that if alter those appeals which had been made to them , they still refused to listen to him , he must , of course , bow to the decision of the meeting , * and he must appeal from those , who were in that hall to the public of this city , who would be disposed to listen to the arguments on both sides . He appeared there as a candidate for the honour of representing the great cityof London ;• not to gratify any personal ambition , but as the vindicator of the law , as the
maintainor of the indefeasible privileges of the Upper Ilouse of Parliament , and as the asscrter ofthe right of . every branch of English industry to be encouraged i ; by tho . Imperial Legislature . ( Hear , hear . ) ,. On any ordinary occasion he should not have appeared at this meeting - ; ' , ' the feeling of private regard arid esteem which he entertained for his hon . opponent would have prevented him . from crossing his path ; but he felt that at this groat crisis it was absolutely necessary' that the gauntlet which had been thrown down should be taken up , arid that this important constituency should at least liave the option of choosing between the candidate who invited them to venture into a collision with the legislature of the land , and one . who , like
himself , invited ' them to . respect the . decision of the legislature , " arid to exercise the franchise which they enjoyed in a _practicar-manrier . / He asked the _meeting to view , at least , with deliberation the result of this contest which was thus precipitately forced upon them . . Were they ,. the advocates of religious freedom _. vandthe sticklers for _^ hesrights of conscience , prepared to deny to that great deRberative assembl y , which from time immemorial had exercised the hig hest functions of legislation—were they , he asked , prepared to deny to that deliberate assembl y the right of excrcising'their . free _* and unfettered judgment in matters of the highest import ? Were they prepared to demand that -fifty new peers should be created in order to overhear the conscientious
convictions of the majority ; of the House of Lords ? "Were they prepared , year after . year , and session aftersession tp renew thisbarren strife , and to waste the public tune in this vain attempt to confer upon his hon . opponent privileges whicn ( he said it without meaning any disparagement or discourtesy to him ) were denied tb . men nay , to whole classes , who were equally worthy with himself ? ¦ Ho said , then , that if histhon . opponent should be returned , he was incapable of /' sitting in . the House of Commons . But he went further , and , asserted that -his hon . opponent professed political opinions , which he trusted this great cdriimercial constituency would no longer hesitateto repudiate . ; , His hon , opponent was one bf those who thought they bright to patronise foreign
_lndustryat the expense of English labour ; that they should raise- £ 50 , 000 , 000 of taxation from a people _wholwere exposed toi the free competition ofthe labour cof- other , countries ; ' - that they should perpetuate the system . of excise , and the obnoxious impost ofthe income tax —( hear)—and that they should set . aside the experience of ages and the practice of all ' other countries , for tlie sake of ; _aniinintelligible arid incongruous theory :. These , however , were the principles' which her Majesty ' s ministers had devoted themselves to carry out , ; and which his hon . opponent , if . elected ; would aid and abet them in carrying out . Therefore it was that he called upon the citizens ,. the constituency of . this great
coriimercial city , to repudiate those . opinions , and to show that'the reaction , which Sir J . _' prahrim , two years ago , had denied tlie possibility _' of , and the realjty of which , ' ¦ only two months ago , he- had been _forced to admit ; was felt in - all our crowded streets , arid ori the busy marts of this great emporium of commerce . We were > called " . practical people ; and -yet three years ago wo , had been induced to adopt the systeiri of free imports , in the hope that our example ; being speedil y followed , by other , countries ,.-would be converted , into brie , bf general Free ..
