      _Hfl _g NOTTINGHAM ELECTION .

      L0 The Imperial Chartists. J[T Pea R Fri...

      _l 0 IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . J [ T _Pea Friends , JI told you , the Nottingham election has . jriied the press of the factions into silence , _f the factions ol Europe into astonishment . _^ press of France looks upon the Nottingr _^ election as the most important result of _^ n tiroes , while our own virtuous press J * ts _» _wtmparatively insi gnificant . Thus , _ 1 have told you , all changes come from _tooad ; an _* we have little to expect from our ' dians at home . I told you that the great r _^ _e of the infusion of Charti st , blood into the

      ipse * " _t-ommons was , that there the advoites _« our principles would let Europe and ' oppressors understand , that Chartism was oe itlier annihilated b y persecution , nor _intimidatetl by despotism . The Tunes is compelled t 0 _cpit its spleen upon the several Chartist _^ _aiilates who offered themselves for popular support , and rejoices that our Harney , tl , e Chartist , was defeated at _Ti-Tert < m ; "while having read his speech—his am _azing speech—his lucid , comprehensive

      and statesmanlike speech—a speech which _elidted _fn-. m his opponent , the Minister for Foreign affairs , avowals , confessions , and declara tions , at variance with his assurances made to Parliament , induces me to look upon the _speefh of Mr Harney as the most important _result of the recent elections . It was well _, snd in character , that the _FEEDING _MINISTER of the Whi g Cabinet should attempt to treat his manly opponent with levity and ridicule : hut it will teach the noble lord , and those who heard it , that the thinkers of the

      day do not form their opinions of public men by the character given of them by the press . The very fact of tlie Times rejoicing in the defeat of Harney , and the fact of the Time _* being obliged to publish five or six columns < if a reply to a speech , not one word Of which- - *? dares to publish , will convince foreign readers , and the conductors of foreign newspapers , that there is something powerful in a principle which our domestic guardians see prudence in concealing , but cannot destroy bv

      secrecy-We have now an analysis of the present House of Commons sufficiently explicit to enable us to come to a conclusion upon the prospects of Whi ggery , and that conclusion is , that the Ministry is " powerless to carry out what its supporters expect ; and , therefore , either Russell must join with Peel upon those principles of moderate Conservatism which will insure the allegiance of the JANISSA RIES , and disappoint his part _)^—or he will fall a victim to a coalition of the Peel and Bentinck part _) 7 . Earl Grey is the man to whom I look as the onlv asserter of those

      _p rinciples which Russell is pledged to earnout—or rather which his supporters expect from him , as he has given no pledges . I told Hobhouse , at his election in 1846 , that the elements of dissolution were in the Cabinet ; as J firmly believe that Earl Grey will not be a partv to any compromise entailing- the necessity of a coalition of which he does not approve . I state these circumstances to prepare you for the fact that Earl Grey , and his party in the House of Commons , will go to the country , and that , ere long , upon measures which Le will propound as indispensable to the realisation of the Reform Bill .

      They call Earl Grey crotchetty , the Parliamentary meaning of which is—having a mind of his own ; and he must see , that a hundred and twenty thousand tenant-slaves—called tenants-at-will—constituting the balance of electoral power—is incompatible with the essence , the spirit , and the working of his father ' s Reform measure , and any minister will find that nearly ldb railway directors , chairmen of railways , builders , : ind engineers , constitute a staff which it will he impossible to mould to political purposes without a quid pro quo in the shape of jobbing patronage . I will now make vou familiar with the

      manner in winch the growth of property operates upon the House of Commons . From the time that manufacturers began to accumulate wealth by machinery , till the passing of the Reform Bill in 1832 , " the power of the landlord class , which up" to that time was predominant , became weaker every year , and the Reform Bill gave capitalists a participation in legislation . ~ From that period to the present , railway speculation has been competing for its share of legislation , and the result is nearly 100 members , whose sole consideration will be the advocacy of their favourite lines . Before

      Parliament met in January last , I wrote an article ia the Labourer , recommending Lord John Russell to appoint a body of railway management apart from the House of Commons ; but so powerful was the railway influence that he feared the attempt ; and hence we find a majority of the time of the Famine Sou ]) Kitchen Parliament monopolised by railway squabbles . Now , I have no hesitation whatever in affirming , that as in France , so it will be in England . Members of Parliament

      will be—I won ' t say what—yes , induced to support this or that line , in proportion to tlie wealth of the contending parties ; and I have not the slightest hesitation in saying , that many a noble lord , and many a wealthy commoner—of course not belonging to either House of Parliament —will be baited on the golden hook . Many a man will be . _releiised from beggary and bankruptcy by servility and prostitution ; and thus , within fifteen years , tlie country ' s honour , and the people's rights , will have been bartered to three different

      factions . There is a solicitor in Manchester , in j no practice , who has received £ 10 , 000 , in two Sums of . £ " 5 , 000 each , within the last year , as a part ofthe condition consequent upon the surrender of two opposing lines . _Xow , where does that money come from ? For that is the question ; and what is a vote worth , if compensation to a solicitor is worth £ 10 . 000 ? In Peel's administration , we had the exposure of two members , in high government offices , being convicted of peculation , and the English punishment was sympathy for the offenders . A precisely similar occurrence happened in France , and there the punishment was . three years imprisonment , a fine of 95 , 000 francs ,

      loss of the peerage , and of civil rig hts , in one case , - and a fine of 10 , 000 francs , and loss of civil rights , in three other cases . So that you see how differently France and England deal with moral delinquents and political offenders . In _Eugland there is sympathy—in Francethere is punishment—for moral delinquents . In England there is a royal marriage , royal births , rejoicings for conquests—and the hulks and the felon ' s cells are searched for objects of royal favour ; in France there are domestic congratulations , and political offenders ofthe highest class are objects of the royal clemency . And yet in England the people have abundantly more power ; hut for the first time within the memory of man , they are bringing that power

      into active oper ation , and if there is one circumstance more than another whicii enrages the press of the factions , it is the fact that exhibitions of popular strength givethelie to their published nonsense , and convince foreigners that they are but tlie agents of a doomed and expiring oligarchy . We then turn to poor Eliza Cook , the Weekly Dispatch , and we find this amphibious thing the

      spitting its poor venom at Nottingham election . A dying horse kicks hard , and poor Alderman Harmer and his staff , that made their money by the dissoluteness of the age thev throve * in / hoped to prop their little remaiiiing _penver , by joining in the cry against Feargus O'Connor . ' Poor , _iveak , ally , effenilnatethings ! they never can forget the thrashing I tiiem ' in 1838 and ' 39 , when IJifi

      gave CHAItTEftDJD _' _iXT GO _FARENOUGH FOR THEM ; they never will forget ray exposure of their anti-repeal folly in 1 SJ 0 ; hut , above and before all , they never will get over their falling sickness from 60 , 000 to 12 , 000 weekly .

LABOURS of _« W women and invalids , has not saved tlieir exchequer ; while the Illustrated London News has brought their customers to the " Shop over the way . " Even the ghost of the departed Publicola can ' t save them . It is a legal fiction that the king can never die and so , we presume , with the other estate , which preserves its monarchy when its contributor shall be no more . Poor Publicola has been gathered to his fathers for many a long month , Ht , he still faintly lives in the shady _cohen 0 of the expiring Dispatch The poor dry bread Sydney Smith , the exploded tool of the League ,

      weekly spits his dry foam , for it dries lite a cuckoo ' s spittle , and leaves no trace of the froth behind . "What a staff to guide public opinion What a committee of censors to expose public wrong ! But my advice to them , and all other such , is to bundle up their traps , as the people are becoming too moral , too wise , and too thoughtful to be juggled by caterers for the gratification of those morbid passions upon which the Newgate collectors lived . Two or three parties have sent me a little SLIPfrom the Gardener ' s Florist , and have asked me to give them a TOUCH , but it ' s , just what the creatures want . Now who reads such rubbish , as

      that ? Our correspondent writes to know _whether Carpenter , whom his friend Hobson painted in such glowing colours in the Star , is also the editor of that ? I really can't say—the employments ofthis mountebank have been so _multifariouSjthat it ' s impossible to tell whether , as Hobson stated , he is yet the keeper of a 3 or whether he lives at Jill in Portu . gal-street ; for my own part , I don't think lie lives very long in any oue place ; I know he was the physico-moral Chartist in the Conference of 1839 , when he crossed the blunderbuss and spear over his head , and said , "THOSE

      WERE THE CHARTIST ARMS ; " and I know that he is the same man who was so drunk , as Chairman at the dinner given to Duneombe , on the presentation of the National Petition , thathe couldn ' t lie on the ground without holding- ; and yet this is another instructor of youth , exposer of immorality , and defender of the faith , and so forth . W . P ., from Huddersfield , appears to think that his former friend and master , Mr Hobson , has been handed from the threepenny trash to the penny

      hotbed , and he makes some other remarks , whieh we feel no disposition to publish ; we are opposed to backsliding of every description , and Mr Hobson , and all other men , have a perfect right to take what advantage spleen dictates , or opportunity affords ; but these things are only done behind men ' s backs , and I can ' t be everywhere , and I refer the writer and his aidde-camp to the reply of a real four acre shareholder of flesh and blood , and not a four acre shareholder in the clouds .

      Now , my friends , I have disposed of Parliament parties aud the press-gang , and I turn to what is of much more importance—the absolute necessity of preparing your petition sheets for the Charter , so that we may take the very earliest opportunity of testing tlie DEVOTED members in " the new Parliament . This will send our principles , our adherence _, and resolution throughout the world , and will

      convince foreign nations that the mind s growth can neither be suppressed nor concealed by a venal , a corrupt , and prostitute press . Petition sheets , pens and ink , will be distributed in convenient places over Lowbands , on the day of demonstration , and I trust that every man , woman , and child , who will be then convinced of what Chartism would make national , will sign it . Your faithful Friend and Bailiff , Fjeakgus O'Connor .

      P . S . — My friends , to be forewarned is to be fore-armed . Cobden is returned for the West Riding ; there will be a vacancy for Stockport , but the election cannot take place till after Parliament meets . Now is the time to muster your forces . Mr Sturge is the only man of our party you can return when there is only one vacant seat . Occupy the ground in time , and tell the Whigs that it shall be either Sturge or a Tory . Now do this , or you will have some beaten Whig Minister , or some tool of faction , imposed upon you . Occupy the ground for Sturge , and then you will have the claim of being first in the field .

      To Mn Gardener Florist, Or The Four Acre...

      TO Mn gardener florist , or THE FOUR ACRE SHAREHOLDER THAT DOESN'T EXIST . Sir , I presume some one of your people sent me a number of a paper that I never heard of before , as I don't take it , and it appeared to come fresh from the office , J read it , and I never read more unprofitable rubbish . You seem to wonder how a hundred and thirty thousand pounds capital will buy more than £ 130 , 000 worth of land . Now , sir , you have not studied the Land Plan , and yoa know nothing of

      reproduction . How does ; t builder , beginning with £ 1 , 000 , or a less sum , build £ 100 , 000 worth of houses ? Of course , by mortgaging them ; and can ' t the same be done with land ? tlie Bank lending the money instead of the capitalist ; but , perhaps , you never thought of that . Do you suppose us so foolish , sir , as to believe , at entering , that four acres of land can he purchased , a house and out-buildings erected , other improvements made , and £ 30 given , out of £ 5 6 s . 4 d . r any more than that the amount paid for shares in a railway would

      complete the works ofthe company ? Dont you know , sir , that almost all companies raise money at five per cent , to complete their works ; and then , as to the purchaser coming in and ousting us all , you haven ' t read our rules , or , if you have , you don't understand them , for if you did you'd know , that , when a shareholder gets the conveyance of his allotment , no new purchaser could demand « t farthing more than the rent stated in that conveyance . Oh ! but , you say , you haven ' t got your conveyance ; well , but I am as sure of it as if I had it , and I work at my allotment the same as if I had it ; and you say that the land is not to be mortgaged or sold , so what have I to fear i Your reasoning is good for nothing ,

      because , when gentlemen , without the security of labour , can get plenty of money at 3 and Z \ per cent , npon mortgage , where will be the difficulty of our _trustees raising money at 4 per cent , with the addition of all our labour given as security ? You see , sir , we are getting too wise for you and Jos . Hobson , and what we advise you is to stick to your penny pictures and your Newgate Calendar , and leave us to manage our own affairs , because you have had a great many answers to your impudent questions in the fact that every week , after your rubbish appears , the funds of tbe Company are doubled and trebled . One thing that makes our property better seenrity than any nther property is , —

      Firstly , that all our work is done upon tlie co-operative system ; and secondly , all our _Jabaur _goes to enhance the vdue of the security above tlie rate at which it is purchased . I am , Mr Gardener , Florist , James Graham , A real living four acre occupant , _| who wouldn ' t sell Vou h ' _n lot , with all its liabilities , for £ 200 .

      I.Hu Demonstration. To Visitors, My Frie...

      I . _HU DEMONSTRATION . To Visitors , My Friends , —On Monday next , the Anniversary of Peterloo , 45 honest working men and their families will be located in their own castles , on their own labour-field . Tlie majority have already arrived , and on Monday they will tell you what I now tell you , that all , one and all , are more than satisfied with _their lot . "We . expect the largest and most important Demonstration that lias ever

      taken place in this country , because there will be something for the sight-seers to reflect upon , something more lasting and durable than the longest yarn of flummery that the most ingenious could spin , all about his head being cut off , his right arm being severed from his body , and his lifeless corpse trampled by wild horses , before he would surrender the smallest particle of the glorious princip les of the People ' s Charter !

      Thank God ! we have winnowed the chaff from the com , and . that our good works now stand sponsor to our future pledges . I write this letter more especially for the information and guidance of visitors—to tell them that there are roads all through the estate , and _temporary paths purposely left for the accommodation of that day , and to express a hope that the work of- the season may not be destroyed by the thoughtlessness of an hour . There are nearly ten acres of grass land { in the centre of the estate , commanding a view of the principal objects , and sufficiently large

      to accommodate all who wish to amuse themselves ; therefore , I have to _expressjt fervent hope that no person visiting Lowbands will do any damage to the allotments of the occupants . Those coming in carriages , or on horseback , can drive through the estate , and will then find accommodation for their horses and the safe custody of their carriages at Mr . RichardAston ' s , _whosehoiiseandlandsisadjoining Lowbands . There will be ample provision there , and supplied on the ground by William Dixon of Manchester , and the several occupants , who will supply tea and cold provisions .

      "his time there will be no charge of any sort for admission to the estate , and , therefore , all such demands , if made , must be resisted . There will be a profusion of music , and everything that can conduce to sober and rational amusement . In the evening the cottages of the several occupants will be illuminated ; there will be a large bonfire , and dancing . Precisely at three o ' clock there will be a public meeting in front of the school-house , and there will be no lack of speakers , as the directors , Messrs . Jones , Mc Douall , Harney , and a host of well-wishers , will be present .

      I presume the delegates will he prepared to meet in Conference , at _] S ine o ' clock , on Monday morning , in order that the business may be proceeded with and terminated , so as to allow me and my staff to start for Oxfordshire , on Saturday , the 21 st ; as , although I do not pledge myself to it , I hope to complete 100 cottages there by the latter end of October . There we have quarries of tlie best description , lime , and sand upon the spot ; no unimportant considerations , I assure you .

      Persons driving round the estate are requested to be careful , and not to damage the stone piers at the several entrances , and as for the fruit , I presume the several occupants will have an eye to their own store . I don't know of any other instruction necessary for visitors , and 1 have already mapped out the road for the several occupants and delegates . Your faithful friend , FEARGUS O'CONNOR

      To The Members Of Tiie Land Company, And...

      TO THE MEMBERS OF TIIE LAND COMPANY , AND THE CHARTIST BODY GENERALLY . Friends , —In my last I described iny visit to _Newcastleunder-Ljne , on Tuesday , the 20 th of July . On Wednesday , the 21 st , according to previous announcement , I went to Burslem , accompanied by several friends from Hanley , and tbere I encountered a brother ' R : im ot Derby , ' Our meeting was held in the Market-place , The first object that attracted our attention was a fire-engine , placed a little in advance of the usual place of meeting _. Some said it was intended to cool our courage , if any of us attempted to speak , but as that would have been a breach of the peace on the part of those who ordered it to be placed tbere , and a very harmless mode of doing so , I did not trouble myself about the rival spottter . A cask was very con _renieutly placed at the corner ofthe court-house , on which I mounted , and commenced my address .

      I had not exceeded twenty minutes when a police officer came , and ordered the owner of the cask to remove it . I did uot wait for the execution of tbat order , but descending immediately , I mounted a stone pillar . The policeman retired , as it afterwards appeared , to receive additional instructions from the magistrates who were assembled in tbe Court-house , and presently returned , with an order for me to desist . I refused , nt the same time cautioning tbe people on no account to interfere , whatever might occur , A body of police were then marched up , and I wa 9 requested to appear before tha _mayislrAtes . . Accompanied by Mr Pale , I accordingly adjourned to the magisterial presence . The nigh Constable , when 1 demanded the reason of being summoned before him , informed me that I could not be

      allowed to speak in the Market-place . ' For what reason ! ' ' Because it is our property . ' I beg to differ with you there . Tbe Market place is the property of the inhabitants of Burslem , end , as a proof of it , a certain number of householders can , on tbeir own authority , summon a meeting there , even after you havo refused the prayer of their requisition . ' ' You have nut done so on this occasion ; besides , we have had disturbances at former meetings , and we are determined to prevent them . ' ' I have done what is equivalent to it , A number of householders are ready tt * take upon themselves the responsibility this night ; and I ( turning to the police officer wbo summoned me ) call upon you to bear witness if I have not shown tbo utmost anxiety to keep tbe peace . ' Policeman : ' You have , sir . '

      A Doctor Somebody , who was present as a magistrate : ' Yon are a mere itinerant lecturer . ' 'And you are no gentleman , sir , to make use of such an observation , holding the office you do . I have beeti brought up as well , or perhaps better , than you have been . I consider your conduct improper and insulting . ' A Mr Johnston , another _justass , who evidently bad been summoned from a jovial dinner table , trustees ' meeting , or electioneering , feed , starting up from his seat , exclaimed— ' Yon are a d——d scoundrel , '— 'And you are something worse to use such language in a justice room , and ought to be fined . You are a disgrace to your office . ' ' I'll knock you down , you scoundrel , by G—d I will . * ' Come and do it , if you can or dare . ' IIo staggered up to the bar with clenched fist . I waited for him , but tbe high constable caught his hand when raised to 6 trike _, and , interposing , said— 'You will make allowance for the state he is in . ' 'I could und will make him allowance as a man , but not as a magistrate . '

      To curtail the report ; I insisted onjspeaking , if it was merely to protect my own party , and prevent a breach of tbe peace . The high constable seemed disposed to yield , but the others would not allow him . I did , however , address tbe meeting , and was again brought up , when I reprimanded the bench for their riotous conduct , and declared my intention to bave a requisition of the householders , and summon and hold a meeting in spite of them . I then went down and adjourned the meeting to a waste piece of ground , and a _treraendeus gathering we had The matter shall not rest here . If I should not be required at Conference on thc 16 th , 1 will proceed to Wolverhampton , and agitate that district , until the camp meeting , on the 22 nd , at Newtou Moor , at which the Liverpool men have requested my attendance .

      I , according to the particular request of Mr O'Connor and Mr Roberts , attended the Blackburn election . n e lost it by being too late in the field ; but , according to I he opinion of all parties , secured it for the next time . 1 ho enthusiasm of tbe people was marked and decided . Not a flag of the enemy waved . Not a band , save our _ow ' n , raised its cheering notes . They tried to ride us dow ' n , when _marching in procession , with their carriage _howes at full speed , but every one of the enemy ' s conveyances was promptly arrested , and compelled to turn back , Oa Sunday , the 1 st , I lectured In Liverpool to a very spirited audience , I shall lecture in Chester , end , if posiible , some parts of North Wales , __ ,

" _£ A great number of members have been _cnroDedijand more are expeted at the next meeting . The Tiverton Chartists return their thanks to the _eleetovsand non-electors of Nottingham for , the .. return of . our honest friend and leader , Feirgus _O'Connor , to the Cnnimons' _HouBe of Parliament . The Tivertonionswiil endeavour to follow their example sft _? thenext election . ' . y Tower Hamlets . —At a recent meeting , votes of thanks were passed to the electors of the Tower Hamlets and Nottingham , for the election of George Thompson . Esq .. and Feareus O'Connor . Eso .

      Wakefield . _—Proguess of Chartism . —On Friday evening , the Cth instant , a public meeting was held in the large room , George and down Yard , to discuss the great and glorious principles of Democracy . At the time appointed , 8 o ' clock , thc room filleit , but soon after 8 , it was densely crowded . On the motion of Mr W . Dawson , seconded by Mr Wood , Mr S . _Roodhouae took the chair , who , on coming forward , was received with cheers . After making a few remarks to the meeting on the _riftht of the people to the franchise , and inviting the working classes to join the National Charter Association , he introduced Mr II . Exley to move the _fir-t resolution . Mr Exley was received with cheers , lie commenced by reading the resolution , which was as follows : — That this meeting , being painfully convinced of the manifold grievances under whicii the great mass of the people suffer , are determined to use every legitimate means for their removal , and will adopt any remedy that appears satisfactory to us .

      Mr Exley made a powerful address , showing the evil results to the people of class legislation , and said , whenever the people , by moral force , were on the stepping stone of liberty , the Church and aristocracy had always stepped in and caused thc people to resist force by lorce , ( causing misery and bloodshed . It had been so in the time of Charles and James ; it had been so with the French Revolution , and it has ever been so when the people were on the road to freedom . Mr E . continued at great length to show the evil of a State Church and a standing army and navy , and of having to support an idle and proiligate aristocracy ; and aftev calling upon tho meeting to _jnin the Chartists in their attempt to gain their political freedom , lie concluded by moving the resolution .

      ( Cheers . ) Mr John Hodgson seconded the resolution in a brief but telling speech . The chairman called upon Mr T . W . Lamb to support the resolution . Mr Lamb , on coming forward , was received with loud cheers . [ It may be necessary here to state that during the election for this borough , Mr Lamb waa waylaid in the night time by about fifty hired assassins , and cruelly beat with heavy bludgeons , and was left for dead . He had taken an active part against Mr Saunders , the Tory candidate , ( now member ) , and thia was the reason why he was so used . But , thank God , he has rallied eneo more , to fight the battle of right against might , and justice against tyranny . ] Mr Lamb said , that the principles of Democracy were the principles of truth and justice , and

      there was never a truly great honest man , a man who felt , and struggled , and lived for the people , hut that man was a democrat , lie said it was a strange anomaly that the people , the masses , who aro the only producers of wealth , should be the only class who are not represented . He claimed for the working man his rights , and no more . Ue had a right to the franchise , not because he rented a ton pound house , or possessed a forty shilling freehold , but because he was a man . He then showed that thc RoformBill wasafraud , ameckery , and a delusion ; for whon the people joined the advocates of that measure , they were promised on every hustings , by the very men who are now at the head of affairs , that they would join them ( the people ) to obtain Universal Suffrage .

      Had they done so ? No . There are only two men in the House of Commons who have the honesty and manliness to stick to their principles . He then continued at some length to show the justice of the principles of the Charter , and gave a clear and able exposition of the ' Six Points . ' Ho then went on to prove that the people were able to exercise the Suffrage . Mr Lamb concluded a long and powerful speech , replete with good sense and sound ' argument , which it is impossible to do justice to without giving it whole and entire , by calling upon the persons present to come forward and join the Chartists in their efforts to regain their long lost rights . Mr Lamb was loudly cheered at the conclusion ot his address . Mr W . Dawson came forward to move the second resolution . He defended thc Chartists from the

      charge of being destructives , and said they did not want to pull down , but to build up . He then paid a just tribute to T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., for his patriotic , his manly , and honest defence of the rights of man . He moved the followin _. ! - resolution : — That , having heard the able exposition ot the principles ofthe People ' s Charter by Mr Lamb , this meeting considers such principles paramount to every other question that can agitato the public mind ; this meeting , therefore , pledges itself forthwith to join tbe National Charter Association of Great Britain .

      Mr Ward , late of Barnsley , seconded the resolution . The chairman then came forward and said : before putting the resolntion lie should like to hear an old friend whom he saw present , and whom he hoped would come forward to support tho resolution . Ho then called Mr Joseph Horner —( loud cheers)—fo address the meeting . Mr Horner said , he did not expect being called upon to address them on this occasion , therefore , for this reason , and the high temperature of the room , he would not occupy much of their time . He then defended the people irom the charge of being ignorant , and stated tbat his poorer brethren had a 3 much right to the franchise as he had . Mr Horner concluded a brief but pithy speech amidst loud cheers . The _chairman haying put the

      resolution , which was carried , Mr Horner again rose and said—he would willingly join them in their efforts to better their conditios , and he would give them one sovereign per year , and assist them when required , to pay any _expences incurred in getting up meetings like the present . ( Loud cheers . ) After the meeting twenty-nine new members were enrolled , thus showing the good that had been produced upon the meeting . On Monday evening , the 9 th instant , an united tea party of the members of the Land Company and the members of the National Charter Association was held in Mr Lancaster ' s _, _' arge room , to commemorate the return of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., not only a « the representative of the electors and

      nonelectors of Nottingham , but of the people of England , After the numerous company had freely partaken of ' the cup which cheers bnt not inebriates . ' Mr R . Brooke was Appointed chairman , who i . _illcd upon Mr Dawson to address the meeting . Mr Dawson passed a high meed of praise on the electors and nonelectors of Nottingham for sending to Parliament a man who has manfully struggled against , and at last succeeded in beating down , prejudice , and who has spent more time , more money , and more strength , than any other man living in the cause of the people . After entering at some length on Mr O'Connor ' s Land Plan . Mr Dawson concluded by moving the following resolttion : —

      That the beat thanks of this meeting are due and hereby given to the electors andnon . el « ctors of Nottingham , for the noble and praiseworthy example they havo set to the country by returning to Parliament that dis . _tinguisbed patriot , _Peargus O'Connor , Esq . Mr W . T . Lamb seconded the _resolution in a short , but _effective speech . The chairman put the resolution to the meeting , which was carried bv acclamation . Ihe rest of tho evening « as spent in enjoying the merry dance , and listening to the enlivening songs . The company separated highly delighted With the whole _proceedings . We » re indebted to the _temalo Chartists of Wakefield foi this manifestation of respect to our ' old general ' Mr O Connor . After all exponses had been paid , thoreremained £ 1 Is , fid . for the Nottingham Election Fund .

      TO THE ELECTORS AND n ' ON-ELE ' CTORS OF TIVERTON .- ' . . Gentlemew—It is with heartfelt gratitude tha * I now tender you my thanks for ; the honour you conferred on me at the recent election in according me ' Uie show of hands . ' That I aiu not at this moment your returned _member is owing to no unwillingness on your part : but to that great defect in pur . constitution by which the mas 3 of the people are deprived of their birthright—the" power- of " electing their own representatives ; a power which Justice imperatively demands , and- whicii Policy must , ere ions ' , concede .

      1 now repeat the announcement made on the hustings , that whenever another election shall take place 1 shall again solicit the honour of your suffrages , and prove my confidence in your favourable regard by going to ( he poll , Having so recently and so fully explained to you my principles , and those principles having received so cordial a sanction from you , it is unnecessary for me to enter now into any detail of thera . Suffice it , tliey are not Hustings sentiments , intended as a bye-road to popularity , to he repudiated on the first favourable opportunity , tliey arc the results of deep

      and earnest conviction , and of life-long experieuee ; they were not assumed to gain your votes—they have guided and influenced every action of my life . And whilst our people are perishing for lack _, of food , and our prisons arc filled with criminalswhilst offences arc committed even hy the novice in guilt , because the criminal is treated with more humanity than the starving pauper—whilst the laws of man separate tliose whom God has joined together—and whilst the sentences of judges have become lenient , and the verdicts of juries equivocal ; because Humanity could not endure to contemplate

      the legalised murders that would otherwise be the result of the innumerable illegal and secret ones , I feel that further proof of the inefficiency of the present system cannot be needed by any enlightened mind—that the laws ( direct and indirect ) for the prevention of poverty and crime have signally failed-that a very different course of legislation alone can ia future he regarded as either just or politic—and that the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter are such as ought to govern the People's _lawmakers , since they alone are based on that precept of Justice— 'Do unto thy fellow-man as thou wouldest he should do to thee . '

      I acknowledge with pleasure the general courtesy of my opponent and his supporters ; any trifling exceptions te this courtesy 1 desire to forget as heartily as I forgive . Special thanks are due to the Mayor of Tiverton fov his honourable and impartial conduct . Tiverton is fortunate in possessing so upright a chief magistrate , and may feel more secure of the peace and good-feeling under the rule of one who makes justice and ' fair play' his motto , " than if an army of the new police were stationed in the town .

      And now , while contfpelled to use that painful word' Farewell , ' 1 must add my firm resolve that it shall be but for a time . As the Doge of Venice was wedded to the Adriatic , so am 1 wedded to Tiverton , a spot in whieh 1 find more mental , as well as outward , charms than ever bridegroom did in his bride . Whilst I gazed on your lovely scenery and contemplated the peaceful rural life of the suburbs , and the public energy and political

      knowledge inseparable from manufactures ; whilst my eyes were rivctted first on the busy town , with its _lavely women , and its patriotic men—and then on the Elysian country round it ; whilst my heart beat warmly iu response to the courtesy of the higher classes , and the enthusiasm and sterling devotion of the people , I vowed , that ( life permitting ) the day should come when I would return to , and be returned for , that Eden-like spot to which I tender the dedication of my every energy , thought , and

      aspiration . Again , then , and again , accept my warmest gratitude for _youf kindness , with my assurance that mv conduct shaft ever justify your _contidence-and a hope , and most trusting belief , that thc next tune I tender vou mv thanks it will he as M . P . FOR

      TIVERTON . I am , Gentlemen , . Your grateful and faithful Servant , Broinpton , Middlesex , G . Juua . x Harney August 10 , 18-17 .

Considerable apprehension was entertained until the _atorra subsided , when , upon examination , it was found that the ship had altered her position only in ft slight degree ; this was to be attributed to the upsetting of the sea-side lever , and the disp lacement of some of the wedges , and probably the stones also , which latter has frequently happened after a heavy sea , from the time Captain Claxton adopted the plan early in April . The tide haa been unfavourable i ' or the outside work , in consequence of the weather not allowing thorn to ebb to their usual distance . However , at the furthest the
