      _O'CONNOB AN M . P . TO IBB _BDITOE OF THB _HOBIBUIT STAB . Dbab Sib . —At length and at last O'Connor Is an M . P . ( or member ofthe Commons House of Parliament , ) but the most surprising thing is that SO many of the middle-class should rejoice ia his being such , ay ; tbe very men who , two years ago , would have lamented it . Why do they rejoice ! Because they bave learned tbat the great princi ples which O'Connor advocates , and whicb , through bis untiring teal , he bas made the question of questions , are notning more than common _sewe , common honesty , and common justice ! That the people ought to have thc Franchise ; that tbey ought to havo the land ; and tbat tbe game laws , enclosure laws , and ail such laws ( which are , in reality , no tiws , but only tyrannical decrees , ) ought to go to the father of all wickedness , which is to the devil himself ! How refreshing

      it Is to find such a man as Feargus O'Connor in the place of tbat heap of rubbish , yclept Sir John Hobhouse . Ohl that every district had acted as tbe men of Nottingham have dtne ; the sanitary condition of the people ' s house wonld be soon improved . But let us hope tbat the next general election will prove better still for the people , and that tho election of such men as Feargus O'Connor , Colonel Thompson , W . J . Pox , Geo . Thompson , and a few others , and the expulsion of Hobhouse , _Hawss , and a few more such unmentionables , is a sign ofthe times tbat electors will not disgrace themselves as they have hitherto done , by " making of what ought to be one ofthe best and purest assemblies in England , one of the greatest confederacies ef designing knaves and robbers that ever existed , and havehepe of electors , ay , and of Parliament too ; each will yet be what tbey _ought to be , especially when there ts an extension ofthe suffrage . Trusting that you will give publicity to the above ,.

      Murder Of Two Children At Manchester. On...

      MURDER OF TWO CHILDREN AT MANCHESTER . On Saturday morning two children of tender ape were barbarously , murdered by their father , in Lordstreet , Holme . The wretched perpetrator of the sad tragedy had also attempted , and had , in fact _, nearly murdered his wife , the mother of the two children . It appears that the murderer is labouring under some dreadful hallucination of mind , caused by want of employment , and his consequent inability to support his wife and family . The name ofthe murderer is Joseph Speed , a man thirtv-four yean old , astripper in a cotton mill , ' He is stated to have heen a sober , steady , and industrious man . He had been out of employ ment since before Christmas , and this seems to have induced a _lowuess of spirits ,

      which there is reason to believe has turned the poor iellow ' s brain . About ten o ' clock his wife left thp house to procure a supply of water , leaving her husband at home in charge of tbc two children , who at the lime were in bed . Urged , no doubt , by poignant grief at tbe prospects before him , the miserable man seems to have seized this opportunity of carrying his intentions into effect , for ou the wife ' s return home , almost immediately , she fonnd her offspring laying on the bed with their throats cut . and quite dead . As soon as she returned , he made a savage onslaught upon her , armed with a heavy iron hammer . Of the particulars which followed _, little is at present known . But e straightway left the house , and went tothe _police-3 tation in Jackson ' slane , where he surrendered himself to Sub inspector

      Liehtfoot , and stated that be bail just murdered his wifeand two children . After taking down the prisoner ' s statement , the inspector went to the house . He found tlie bodies ofthe two children _weltering iu their blood , with their throats cut from ear to ear . Their heads were nearly severed from their bodies They were in their night clothes , and appeared stretched in tbe quiet slumber of death , as though they had been murdered whilst sleeping . Bleeding from a frightful wound in tbe head , the wife was discovered tying quite senseless . Information was sent to Mr Superintendent Tavlor , who quickly arrived , and the wounded wife was sent off to the infirmary . Both the children were boys , one being between four and five years old , the other an infant only , aged about nine months .

      The neighbours had not heard the slightest alarm or screams . According to the evidence adduced at the inquest , it appears that the wretched man did not take away the lives of his children before attacking his wife , but that it was after sbe ran away that he cut their throats . On Sunday , as tbe woman continued in a very dangerous state , and as it was apprehended tbat delirium might ensue , it was deemed expedient to take her deposition . The prisoner betrayed no emotion on seeing his wife . Her statement was to the effect that she and her husband had no quarrel whatever ; that she went ont about nine o'clock , and that she returned in about halt an hour . Immediately on entering the house her husband

      said something to her , which she did not recollect , and commenced striking her violently on the head with something she thought was a hammer . She screamed out , and got out of the house—how , she could not recollect . The prisoner declined to ask bis wife anything , and eaid nothing whatever . Tbe deposition was then read over to the wife , and she affixed her mark to it . The prisoner was told by Mr Maude thathe could speak to his wife if he cho 3 e , but he manifested no desire to do so . On Monday morning at nine o ' clock an inquest was held on view ofthe bodies . After a short deliberation the jury found a verdict of " wilful murder " against Spead , they being of opinion that he had killed both of his children . Tho witnesses were then bound over to appear at the next Liverpool assizes .

      . . H « _S _Utwhenh J ewent t 0 _Nottingham he feund the town prepared to receive him , and never did men so nobly do their duty ; never did _psor Sir Cam Hobhouse feel till then how insignificant a thing a _KRhB Igw , tt ; lt 7 _* ' evi ( Jent a » the Nottingham put turther trust in the despicable Whi _» faction , nor their _hunsry placehunter . For _hiraseff ho always hated the Whigs ; he believed that Waiter was the poor man's fncnd , ~ his son , in this instance , behaved most honourablc-the Whigs were on their last legs ! Well might Sibthorp ask , when he entered the house , _« where is the ministry v Mr Dwaw said hia heart waa _swollen with _delist , and it was with some difficulty that he could find

      words to give expression to his feelings upon tbis occasion . Glory to the Men of Nottingham ! He was a Catholic and an Irishman , _aiid from the bottom of his soul he thanked the Irish Catholics of Nottingham , who , he was informed , voted to a man tor O Connor . The dawn of liberty hath _riBen in _Nottingham ! Feuds and prejudices were buried in Nottingham ! And tho young spirit of Freedom was abroad invigorating and giving new life to the body politic . Better days were in _s-tore for Ireland ; a portion of her own sons had seen their error , and with that magnanimity which has ever characterised Irishmen , they have made ample amends . Never was there a more traduced man than O'Connor ; O'Connell had raude him a present to the English people ; bnt from the moment that Feargus O'Con .

      nor set his toot upon English soil till the present instant , where is the man that would dare point to one single act , ay , one single word , that ever that man said against his country . Na , sir , _amengst all his revilers , and though it had been said that he would be soon found in the camp of the enemy , Feargus O'Connor was the only livirg man that had acted a consistent part in the politics ofthe empire ; and , although the hireling press of England and Ireland united their aid to crush that man , with the aid of a faithtul few poor men , they now , as ever , dread that spirit which they could neither break nor bend . _Nottingham might well be proud aa _Ccik was . Who had he defeated ? Sir Cam Hobhouse , the first orator of the day , a minister of the crown , lie ( MrD . )

      recollected attempting to address a meeting once at which Sir Cam presided , but because he was not an elector , although he told him he was an Irishman that dared to tell him the truth , he would not hear him . He was now glad to see an Irishman triumph over him , and hurl hi * ministerial consequence in the dust . Feargus O'Connor had n _iw got _Whiggery down , and he would keep it down . He should like to see Cruikshank , or Alfred Crowquill , sketching ' little Johnny , ' when Feargus O'Connor first entered the House . Lord John was now the representative of the filth and dirt of London . No one could deny tbat . Yet he felt it a high honour no doubt : and he believed he would rather' have suffered a deteat in London himself than that

      his back should have been kicked out of Nottingham . He ( _MrDwaine , ) had no _. _iiesitationinssying this was the greatest triumph the people have l _. ad _t-iese many years . It was a triumph for Ireland too ; and they would soon see that Feargus O'Connor was true to the land of his fathers-if he had been in the house , there was not a year that the repeal of the union would not have been discussed in that house . He recollected a meeting at the Thatched House , when Feargus O'Connor urged the necessity of bringing forward the repeal question yearly in the house , and Daniel O'Connell was the man that opposed him ; he differed with O'Connell upon that policy , and he believed Feargus O'Connor was right and Daniel O'Connell was wrong ; and O'Connor ' s

      argument was this , —John Bull is a straight forward honest fellow , provided you did not succumb too much to him , he liked fair play , he only wanted to beconvinced he was wrong ; bnt hecould not be convinced without argument ; he stood up for his own rights and had no respect for those who had not the same courage to stand . up for theirs also . What wonld Young and Old Ireland say when they knew that his fearless veins were proclaiming , within the corrupt house of St Stephen ' s , the death knell of the accursed union ? Would they even then forget tho ' battles of the parties / and do justice to ono they had so oft maligned—we shall see . Mr Dwaine proposed the following resolution , and sat down amidst much cheering : —

      Resolved : —That the grateful and heartfelt thanks of tbis meeting of Confederates , are eminently due and are hereby given to theelectorsand non-electors of Notingham , lor their _noltle and manly conduct in spuming tho glittering bribe of the _treasury at tbe shrine of their dignity as freemen , and who thereby have shown a magnanimous example to the constituencies of the world , by their contempt of the _peifidious Whigs , aud their love for universal liberty , by returning its most _unilinchiug and indomitable advocate , Feargus O'Connor . Mr Sullivan , as an Irishman , telt proud to second the resolution ; anything he could say would only mar its effcet after the last speaker .

      Mr Maynb next addressed the meeting at great length ; It gave him great pleasure to witness the joy that prevailed at iho triumph of O'Connor , he w ; is * glad to see the Whigs getting sueh a thrashing . The condition of the people was always worse under the Whigs ; however prosperous they got when they took office , they were sure to leave it in debt . The Irish people got nothing but coercions and starvation from them . He believed had tho Tories been in office , not one man would have died in Ireland . Let them contrast the position of the Whigs of this city with that of Feargus O'Connor ; never was bribery and corruption more flagrant and reasonable on the one side ; now patriotism , honour and wellearned fame on tbe other . Mr M'Carthy next addressed the meeting , and

      canvassed very freely the political shifting doctrines of Sir Cam Hobhouse . Mr _WATTsfollowed : He congratulated thc country on the evident advance of liberalism as contrasted with last election ; he saw a determination in the minds of the people to march forward with such a spirit , and with such an accession of leaders their cause must triumph , sectional parties were falling by the defeat of Vincent nnd Sturge , and the people ; ere long , would be one body , one ffiind , having one common object in view , the greatest amount of happiness for thc greatest number . Mr Jobs Coiiia's . ex-repeal wardon _. next addressed the meeting ; This was the first time ; he bad attended a meeting for some months past , there were some members present who knew the cause of it , yet he was as devoted to Ireland as ever .

      Mr _Dwain moved a vote of thanks to Mr John Collins for his services at all times in the cause of Ireland , but particularly for the prominent and active part he took in tho _originaf _organisation of Confederacy in London . ... . Mr _Clanci seconded the resolution , and joined in the deserved encomium passed on Mr Collins exertions _. _otherB had talked loudly , bnt the work , the real work , was done by him . The New Organisation . —A committee of 7 wre then appointed to consider their future organisation , and ordered to bring forward their report on next night oi meeting .

      Death At A Police Station.—An Adjourned ...

      Death at a Police Station . —An adjourned inquest was held at J ' ewington , on Wednesday , before Mr Carter , on the body of Honry Sumpter , a cab-driver . On Friday afternoon the deceased had taken a party to Greenwich , and on his return had drunk freely , and was thrown from his vehicle with much force : He was picked up and carried to the shop of a chemist , and that gentleman , after a cursory examination , told the police constable , that nothing was the matter beyond drunkenness , and he was

      taken to the station house in Park-lane , where every attention was paid to him , but he expired about five o'clock on the following morning . The surgeon , who had made a post mortem examination , found that death had heen produced by a concussion of the brain caused by the fall from his cab , and the jury returned a verdict of accidental death , addding that they believed the sergeant and the constable had been misled by the statement of tho chemist , and that no blame attached to them .

      _SuiciDE . —On Wednesday afternoon a fashionably dressed woman , while on board the Bridesmaid river steamer , on its passageupfromLondoh-bridge , committed suicide by jumping from the boat when nearly opposite the Swan-pier .

      " PWon for the MUUoh . " ad 2 _S ? M ~ Si . _J _2 _^» 6 « _« f Pleasure that _™ aaaresayou this week , upon the treat _oupstinn nf attainment of the great objects of union are ai Uooming as ever . The signs of the times besDeak _tTwTfrffiSdS _^ Ann we reel lully confident , that so soon as the hurrv and confusion ofthe election is past , and the dS aion of trade revives , we shall doubtless no forward with snch a _rapid progress , that has not as yet oK ractensed the of

      history our movement . Alreailv the trades generally are beginning to see the superlative greatness , and paramount claims of the National Association . They are giving tbe question the fullest investigation , and arc struct with the perfect adaptation of the Association to meet the wants and wishes of the people j to achieve the purposes of union , and restore to the working classes the imperishable rights ot industry . They recognise in this confederation , a developement of the advancing spirit of the nineteenth century ; and a firm determination is manifested bya 7 _ast number of them , to keep pace with the growing intelligence and progressive spirit of the present age .

      1 he adhesions that appeared in last week ' s Star will show the hopeful-prospects of the Association . 1 he great number of applications we have for _agents from all parts of the kingdom , to visit the different trades bodies , to set forth and explain the objecttfof the National Association , is another proof of the rapid maimer in which the principles of our body are circulating . Indeed so numerous aro the applications for agents and information , that it would take the Central Committee six months from the present date to supply , without any other application . But letters are daily coming to the office , pressing for agents ov if no a « ent can be sent , they want the Centra ! Committee to impart all , the information in their power to the constitution

      as and plan of operation adopted by the National Union . Everything around us warrants thc conclusion , that tho signs of tho times arc in our favour , and we trust that the various districts in connexion witli the Assi ciation will co-operate with us , and not allow so favourable an opportunity to pass without being embraced , andendea _/ ourto communicate to the different trades in your respective localities , such information as they may require ; and depend upon it . we shall individually bo benefited by doing so , for the greater our numerical strength may be , the more _strong and efficient will be our effort for Labour ' s emancipation .

      The districts can assist us in various ways , nnd by aconstant co-operation of these auxiliaries , the Association would be more prosperous than ever . And to show how this may be , we feel disposed to direct your attention to a subject introduced a few weeks back by the Manchester silk weavers . A plan which , if taken up by the districts , would have a very benefieial influence upon both the employers , and all those who have not as yet joined thc National Association . Tho plan suggested by the Manchester broad silk weavers is , for the various district committees _t- > appoint a select committee to canvass their respective localities , to visit the sho p keepers , the coffee house keepers , publicans , provision dealers , and all classes of tradesmen , depending upon the working classes for support , with the view of obtaining these tradesmen to become honorary members of thc Association .

      Now this we consider to be an excellent plan , and well calculated , if practically carried out , to generate a feeling of brotherhood and sympathy between these tradesmen and the working classes . We have no doubt bnt that if many of these gentlemen were only waited upon , they would cheerfully become honorary members of the Association , and send tlieir subscriptions regularly to the society . This would very ipuch _inctease our pecuniary resources , and invest us with additional means to superintend tlie general affairs of the Association , and enable us tu meet more promptly the application of tho various trades for the interference and assistance of thc National Association .

      We have no doubt , we any . but that these gentlemen would become subscribers to our funds , inasmuch as they are weekly depending upon the industrious portion of the community for their own support ; and they must be fully satisfied , that , if their customers are but ill-remunerated for their labour , they will have less to lay out with the shopkeepers , the provision dealer , and others , aud that the less they sell , tho smaller will be the amount of their profits ; and when their profits arc curtailed , their prosperity wiil be impeded , and their general interests wili be very much exposed ; for however thoir business may decline , and their income decrease , they will have still the same amount of rent nnd taxes to pa ; , as though trade was as good as could bo desired .

      The way , therefore , for the tradesmen to command a good sale and a quick return of cash , will be for them to assist the working men to raise the price of labour—to elevate the condition of tbe industriousnnd , as a natural concomitant , they would be better customers to these gentlemen ; because they would have more means at command to obtain the necessaries of life than they now have , and they would be sure to purchase their goods of these tradesmen who were assisting them to maintain a fair price for their toil . And the shopkeepers , by . increasing their sales , would proportioniibly increase the amounts of their profits . Con 3 equently . it will be to the interests of such tradesmen to command a ' fair day ' s wage for a fair day ' s work ; ' and if the working classes , will only

      take up this question with spirit and energy , shopkeepers , provision dealers , and others , would promptly respond to their call , and an increase of power and influence would be added to the Association ; and the great objects of our combination will the more easily and speedily be accomplished . For in addition to an increase of pecuniary aid , that would result from the co-operation of these parties , we sliould bave tbeir moral _influence , which they would undoubtedly exert to effect an _amicabJ * and successful adjustment of any dispute that might arise between the employers and tho employed ; aad , to a considerable extent , dctc ? unprincipled employers frock further encroaching upon the rights of industry . Let the districts take active steps to appoint select

      committees for this _purpose , anil the results will exceed our most sanguine expectations . Let tho committee be composed of true and active men , who will be willing and prepared to brave opposition with boldness , to meet difficulties with courage , and _to-hail success with gladness . Let no one be remiss ut his duty , and , bright . 13 may be our _present prospects , that brightness will be obscured by the superior light that will burst upon our movement . Another method by whioh districts would _considerably accelerate the progress of the Association , . vould be by their using all the influence tbey possess among the above-nam _^ d tradesmen , to become consumers of the goods manufactured by the men employed by the National Association . Their custom to the Association could easily bo solicited by the select committees in canvassing for honorary . members . Some might object to contribute a shilling per

      month to tho Association , while they would have no objection to purchase their goods from us . ibis would create for us a retail market tor the sale of our articles-would give us a _probtupon the disposing ot them-and by that means would assist us to extend our operations for tho improvement and regeneration of the working class . But few , indeed , we _tbujJc would cbject to purchase a few pairs ot free stookinps , unstained with the blood of cruelty and wrong , instead of disgracing tlieir legs with stockings steeped in slavery , and manufactured amid the tears , and groans , " and sufferings of poor framoworkknikters , who are compelled to toil hard and long _, fer an average wagc 3 of not more than six & e seven shillings per week ; and out of that are subject to several reductions in tho shape of frame-rent , its ., Ac .

      What we have said 01 our stockings , may be said with respect to our bootB and shoes , our shirtingi and our gloves , and every other article of manufacture , produced by the power of the Association , in giving employment to the oppressed and destitute . Let tbe select committee make it a point to obtain the custom of _tbese gentlemen , that they may boast to all they deal with that tbey no longer are dishonoured by wearing articles manufactured in dograded poverty , and bv a species of slavery more revolting and base than ever disgraced the history ofthe 'African Negro ; ' and at the same time they will be giving encouragement to free and well-paid labour- _* nd every pair of stockings , or boots , or shirts , or any othpr ar-National Association

      ticles manufactured by tho , which they purchased , would be drying up the tears , assuaging tho grief , and binding the bleeding breaking bcart 3 of the disconsolate , and greatly oppressed and much injured operatives . You will perceive by this how much you can enhance the welfare ami-prosperity of our nightly confederation ; in tho -first place , by procuring honorary members who weuld be constant contributors to our funds : and in the second place , you would obtain a number of consumers who hitherto havo been comp letely unacquainted with tho very existence ofthe _A _ssooiatien—aay _' nothing of tbc unprecedented efibrta and objects ofthe same . _^

      Another way in _which-districts conld be of great service in assisting us in _extending our operations , would be by exerting their influence to procure shareholders among the . various . trades' bodies ; and , also _ajnongithe _severaHradeswen _. fa'their respective _"OJU'A _' es . _., ; By ; taKing _^ shares int _^ _tlta _¦ _AsaociaUoh _. _M _the-himpJoy ment , oiVLaboutr in i .

      sf » Iments of not less than 10 shillings per quarter . For every paid up share £ 5 per cent , interest will be given . The manner in which it is intended to apply the fund 8 . so obtained is , in the purchase of lands the ereetion of dwellings and workshops for manufacturing and handicraft purposes , and tho employment of the unemployed members of the trades in these establishments would remove , if not all , some ofthe evils universally complained of , and by a more rational as well as a more reproductive method of using the funds _) collected for improving the position oflabour .

      It is with these views the present association is formed . It ia an experiment to try how far the working classes are prepared to act upon the opinions now so prevalent among them , and to clear the way for those more extensive , comprehensive , complicated , and centralised operations , which must precede thc entire emancipation of labour . If it succeeds , it will lay a solid foundation for other and more comprehensive measures calculated to enhance the well being of the operatives ,, aud to secure the interests of the association . That this would he a profitable commercial speculation , we have not the slightest doubts ififc is properly and judiciously managed , so as ultimately to yield a great interest to the shareholders , wbile each share would considerably onhanceits value . In order toform an idea of the profits to be derived . _Toniaspeculation of this description , we will suppose tnat trades and individuals had taken out 2 , 000 sharesand

      , paid those shares up , tbat would give us a capital ot £ 10 , 000 . This sura , to be employed in manufactures , would bring in a profit of not less than 15 per cent per year , that is , supposing we were only able to turn our stock once in the year , but we should be able to turn it twice or thrice at least . But suppose we only turned it twice over in the year , we should realise profit of about £ 2 , 800 , or increase the value of a £ 5 share to £ 6 10 s . You will therefore see , and be able to point out to shopkeepers , provision dealers' , and other trades-people , the great advantages which they would neraonally derive from such a method of applying a small capital upon this principle of co-operation . To trades collectively , the advantages would be equally gr eat , inasmuch , as it would enable the trades , to a considerable extent , to draltoffthe surplus bands from the labour market , and instead of exhausting the lundsof the body in supporting men in idleness , give them profitable employment , _at : d thus render the original capital reproductive .

      Let the districts take up this question , and use their influence to procure subscribers and shareholders to assist in conducting to a successful issue the National Association . Let not another week pass away without the most active exertions being made to procure honorary members , to create a market for our _manufactured goods , and to getshareholders for the Association for the Employment of Labour . By this means we shall augment our pecuniary resources , strengthen moral power , and call forth the reciprocal aid and friendly co-operation of those who have hitherto remained aloof from such movements . The Central Committee of the above flourishing institution met on Monday , and following days , for the transaction of general business .

      A mass of correspondence has been received from every part of the kinedom _, also adhesions from the following trades : —London type-founders , Man-Cheater __ lath-splitters , Northwich salt-makers , and Northwich Bait-rock miners ; also the followin" re _* ports from members of the Central Committee . Mr Peel reported that he attended meetings at keithley , Barnsley , Skilmanthorse , Conningly , and Bacup , and several cases nf mediation . It will be recollected by the readers of the _NonTHEnti Star , that early in June , the power-loom weavers of Bacup , in the employ of Mr Aitken and Brothers _^ had turned out in resistance of a reduction amounting to 3 s . 4 d . in the pound .

      Mr Peel , on arriving at Bacup , foHnd the town in a state of great disorder , but was fortunately successful in _bringing thc affair to a satisfactory adjustment , but one certainly te the advantage of the employer . For four or five weeks things went on in a very smooth way . About , this time some difference arose between an omployer and a young man , a weaver ,, which ended in a brutal and unmanly assault upon the weaver by tbis gentleman . Legal proceedings were very properly taken , and the people ' s only legal protector . Mr W . P . Roberts , soon

      taught Mr Aitken the useful fact , that the law waa stili strong enough to protect a poor weaver against the i » norant brutality ofthis man , for the bench inflicted a fine , costs , & c , for the assault . The employer , however , was determined to mako them suffer for taking legal _proceedings against him . So he offered a reduction of 2 d . per cut , and that two loom weavers should attend three looms , in fact , requiring two men to do the work of three . Thia being rejected , he served them with uotice to leave his employment , and refuses to employ any who have joined the National Association .

      Mr Peel ia proud to say , that in every quarter ho has visisted _, he finds one all-prevailing feeling in favour of the National Association . CLITBERO . —Mr Peel attended here on a case of mediation , on account of some grievances complained of by the power-loom weavers against one of the employers . The difference was not satisfactorily aetthd . Still we have strong reason to hope that this visit will be attended with great good . Mr Peel has received a great number of applications from Preston and Blackburn , and numerous places in ,-Lancashire and Yorkshire , where thousands are only waiting for further explanations and a revival of trade .

      _O'CONNORVILLE . AND THE HOTTINGEAM ELECTION . Early on Saturday morning , when the news of this glorious triumph reached O'Connorville , _through the medium of the Carrington Secretary , every countenance beamed with joy , every heart determined to commemorate the auspicious event ; the flag was immediately hoisted on the school-room tower ; every gun , musket , and pistol on the estate , and in thc neighbourhood waa put in requisition , and volley after volley proclaimed to the villages around that it was a clay of gladness to their neighbours at O'Connorville . Our worthy neighbour j . Mr Biggs , ascertaining the cause of our rejoicing and cordially responding to it , gave us the use of his meadow , adjoining tho looation , for a cricket match , in which most of the

      allottees , and someof the neighbours took part ; truly a more pleasant game was sever played ; many were the mistakes , and many the shouts of laughter that followed them , but all was joy and harmony ; the majority of the allottees had never seen the game of cricket played before , much more taken part therein , but all determined , ( induced by the kind offer of Mr Biggs , ofthe loan of his meadow , bats , ifcc ., ) that they would become proficients in this truly manly and British game . In tke evening , at the conclusion of the match , an immense bonfire was raised in front of tho school-room , Mats were placed around , and the allottees , their wives , children , friends , and _neighbours , joined in the merry dance and cheerful song , accompanied at intervals by volley of musketry , making the welkin ring with their rejoicing and proclaiming aloud to their aristocratic neighbours , tha _Russells , the _Grosvenors , the Clarendons , the Essexs , and to the world at large , that political liberty , was as dear to the cultivator of a few acres

      of soil as it was to the owner of thousands . Among the many heart-stirring songs ot the evening , the ' Mareeillis Hymn , ' ' Rally around him , ' ' Spread the Charter , ' Base oppressors , ' dec , occupied a prominent space . Mr Knott of Halifax , by his performance on the violin , and Messrs Fitzsimon of Manchester , Hornbey of London , and Oddy of Bradford , contributed greatly to tbe evening ' s amusement . Tho proceedings closed at a late hour by _Mossw Wheeler and Oddy proposing a vote of thanks to the electors of Nottingham , for the noble manner in which they had performed their duty , which wa 3 responded to by three times three , as was also the health and long life of our member for Nottingham . Thus ended a day that will long be remembered in the ahnals of O'Connorville , a day of pleasure and delight , for to us Mr O'Connor is doubly endeared ; we look to him not only as a political leader , but also as a father and patron , and trust that he will feel p leased with this demonstration of the first cf his land children .
