1ue Murder At Beltmo^Sl* *' * ' . On Sat...
it is fully believed that he is now hiding Mmself in * ome of the villages or towns on tbe west coast of England . The furniture purchased of tbe supposed murderer by Cambridge , the broker , is advertised for « ale by auction . It consists of articles of the commonest description . On " Wednesday , through the exertions of Mr . Inspector Yates , the police succeeded in tracing the shovel with which the grave of the murdered man is supposed to have been dug . It appears that on "Wednesday , the Sth instant , Mrs . Manning went to
Mr . L-mgley ' s , ironmonger , in Tooley-strect , Borough , where she saw the shopman , and said she wanted an iron shovel , at the same time stating that she wished it to be a very strong one . The shopman asked her whether she required a regular shovel ? She replied , " No , she would make one of tbe short-handled ones do . " One was shown her , for whicli she paid ls . 2 d ., leaving her name and address , and requesting the article to be sent to No . 3 , Minver-place , New Weston-street , in the evening , which was done , and it was received by Mrs . _Mannin « r- The shopman can identify her .
There is little doubt that Maria Manning was as treacherous to her husband as she was to Sir . O'Connor , and that she decamped with the whole of the money and securities as soon as tbe suspicions of the police were awakened , leaving Manning to take his chance of being apprehended , under the Lope that when he was captured , any further pursuit after her might bc abandoned . It seems evident that there was some arrangement between the two guilty parties to meet at a particular spot , as a part of the notes obtained from the Bank by Manning on Saturday the 11 th inst . were found in possession df the wife when apprehended at Edinburgh , and it ia not to be supposed that tbe husband gave her all these notes for her sole use .
APPREHENSI O _N O F A P A R TY S UPP O SED TO BE MASSING . About one o ' clock this morning a man , supposed to be Manning , with his whiskers close shaved , was apprehended in Peter-street Soho , and conveyed to the Vine-street Station . Sergeant Langley , of the A division , who is well acquainted with the person of ilanning . was sent for to identify him , "but the sergeant stated tbat though there was * a great like . ness , it was not Manning , consequently the party was set at liberty . ARRIVAL Or MRS . MASSING IN _LOJJDOX .
On Friday morning , at five o clock , Mrs . Mannmg arrived at the Euston-station of the North-Western Railway ( in custody of three officers of the Edinfom-gh police ) bythe mail-train from Edinburgh . Inspector Sheppy and Sergeant Durkin , of the A division , were in readiness to take charge of _ thc prisoner . She was very respectably dressed in a brown silk gown , light shawl , white straw bonnet , and a white veil over her face . She walked with a firm step fi-om the carriage , across the platform , to a cab that was in readiness .
_EXAMINATION OY MRS . MAMESG AT TEE SOUTHWARK POLICE OFFICE . Maria Manning was brought before the magistrate ofthe Southwark police-office on Friday morning , charged by Inspector Yates on suspicion of taring been concerned in the murder of Mr . Patrick O'Connor , oa Thursday , the 9 th inst ., at So . 3 , Minver-place , Sew Weston-street , Bermondsey . Some time previous to her entering the court she inquired if it was much crowded , and being answered in the negative , she seemed rather pleased . Mr . Seeker , tbe magistrate , having taken his seat on the bench about half-past one o'clock , ordered the prisoner to be placed at the bar . The command , -which was immediately communicated to her , she obeyed with the utmost sang froid , and walked with perfect calmness and self-possession to the place assigned to her . She was well dressed , we shonld even say lady-like in her appearance . Neither in feature nor in accent does she
make known she is a foreigner . On her entrance there was no manifestation of feeling , although the court was very much crowded , owing , no doubt , to a judicious intimation from Mr . Edwin , thc clerk , before the magistrate took bis seat , that if any such were to take place the court would be cleared . On being placed at the bar she replied , in answer to a question put to her by direction ofthe magistrate , that she had sent to engage a solicitor , but understood he was ill , and could not attend . —Inspector Field said she bad sent for Mr Games , but that he could not attend . Inspector Yates having been examined , the magistrate remanded her until next Friday ; and she left the dock as unconcernedly as she entered it , and was immediately after driven off to Horsemongcr-lanc gaol in a Tan . * " * " The entire _proceedinss occupied but a few minutes .
ADJOURNED INQUEST . The inquest en the body of Patrick O'Connor , adjourned from Saturday last , was resumed at eleven o ' clock yesterday forenoon , in the Leather-Market Tavern , Leather-market , Bemiondsey , before Mr . Carter , coroner for the eastern division of the county of Surrey , and again adjourned till tcn _ o ' clock on Monday next

RoBB ** . _* ftY by a Cm * " * - * *** - . —John Lee 29 , was indicted for stealing £ 20 in gold , the property of Thomas Wright , his master . There were five other indictments ofa similar kind against the prisoner . He appeared very ill and was seated during the trial . Mr . Clarkson prosecuted , and Mr . Ballantine was for the defence . —The prosecutor of these indictments carries on an extensive business as a wholesale _cheesemonser in Giltspur-street , and it appeared that the cither of the prisoner had been employed In the establishment as a confidential clerk ibr a great number of years , and the prisoner himself had been engaged in the same capacity for eight years , and it was part of his duty to take account of all monies received during the day , and in the
afternoon either to take it himself or send another clerk with the money to the bankers . On the 25 th of July it appeared that a sum of £ 163 S 3 . 6 d . was so made up , £ 90 of which was in gold , but the prisoner , instead of sending the whole amount , kept back £ 20 of the gold , and only paid £ 143 Ss . 6 d . — The jury returned a Terdict of ' " Guilty . "—He was then charged npon another indictment with stealing hank notes to the value of £ 20 , thc property of the same prosecutor . —In this case it appeared that the prisoner had to transmit a sum of £ 446 6 s . to the bankers , wliich was comprised of cheques of various amounts , and £ 165 in notes ; and it appeared that , as in the former ease , he kept back notes to thc amount of £ 20 , and only paid In £ 426 6 s ., instead
of the proper amount . There was no evidence as to the description of the notes , and there was nothing in thc case to show whether they were Bank of England or country bank notes . —The Recorder intimated liis opinion that the prisoner ought not to be convicted upon this indictment , inasmuch as the evidence failed to make out the allegation contained in it , that be had stolen bank notes , which designation applied only to the notes of the Bank of England . —The jury- then gave a verdict of "Not Guilty . "—The Recorder inquired what amount of money the prosecutor believed he had been robbed ol by thc prisoner % — . Mr . Clarkson replied £ 2 , 000 . —Tke Recorder asked if all thc amount had been obtained by the same means as those which appeared to have been employed in the two cases that liad "been disposed of?—Mr . Clarkson said it had . —Mr .
Ballantine observed that he could urge nothing on behalf of the prisoner , except that he was in an extremely dangerous state of illness . —The Recorder , in passing sentence , after remarking upon thc Toy serious character of the offence , told the prisoner that the court wonld have felt it to be their duty to have sent him out ofthe country , but that knowing in his state of health the government "would not carry out such a sentence , he would not needlessly distress his mind in his present condition , bypassing a sentence which he beliered would not he acted upon . He felt it to be his dnty , however , to pass upon him a sentence of long imprisonment , as it was impossible that such an offence as his could be passed over without severe punishment . The prisoner was then sentenced to be kept to hard la-Dour , such as his condition of health would permit him to perform , for two years .
Stealing Beicks . —James Watson , 53 , a licensed victualler , Jonathan Richard Watson , 23 , labourer , and Robert flawley , 29 , a labourer , were indicted for stealing 500 bricks , the property of John Brogden , the master of Hawley . Mr . Prendergast prosecuted ; Mr . Clarkson and Mr . Parnell defended the Watsons , who are father and son ; and Mr . Payne defended Hawley . The case , which lasted nearly the whole day , excited a great amount of interest , in consequence of the respectable position filled by tiie prisoners Watson , and the conrt was very full . The elder Watson is a licensed victualler , keeping the White Horse , Sew Charlton , Kent , and where he had resided for nearly twenty years , hitherto enjoying an unblemished reputation , as also had his son , who stood indicted with him , and the prisoner Hawley was in the employ bf the prosecutor , who is the contractor for the Sew North Kent
branch of railway opened to Gravesend . The evidence adduced , however , did not sustain the charge on this indictment , and they were a * - quitted , but they were again indicted , in conjunction with a labouring man , named John Record , for having stolen , on the 26 th of May , at Woolwich , 1 , 000 bricks , the property of the " same prosecutor . In this case it appeared that about a week before thc date named in the indictment , thc elder Watson as _" kel Mr . Bam _.-s , a . builder , living at Sandhill , Plumstead , if he wanted to buv any new bricks , and he agreed to take 4 , 000 or 5 , 000 at 23 s . a thousand , and about a third of the quantity were sent in , but the rest not arriving , Mr , Barnes called on the 25 th at Watson ' s , to know why tbey had not come , and he ( Watson ) said they should be there tbe next morning . The Watsons . then engaged the man Record to go to the brick stack and _brln- * away 1 , 000 bricks at the same time that the other carters were taking them , arid if any questions were asked ,
Robb**.*Fty By A Cm*"*- * ***-. —John Le...
to say they were for the works at the Charlton tunnel . One of the men connected with the works seeing the cart engaged by the Watsons , made some inquiries , and the answer not satisfying him , communicated the same to the foreman of the works , who at once instituted inquiries , and the result was , that the cart , which had at first started off in the direction of the tunnel works , waa traced to Watson ' s premises , and a quantity of new bricks were they found stacked over with old ones . Upon being taxed with tbe robbery , Watson said there must have been somemistake , and wished topayforthem . The police were then called in , and the elder Watson seemed extremely anxious to have the affair hushed up . The jury found both the Watsons " Guilty , " recommending them to mercy on account
oftheir previous good character , and by the direction ofthe court acquitted Record . The Common Serjeant said it was an extremely bad case , especially against the elder prisoner , still the younger one had taken an active part in the matter , which he had most likely been leu into by his father . The younger Watson said he had . The Common Serjeant : But you were old enough to know you were doing wrong , and ifc is a very bad case ; here is no poverty , want , or excuse of any kind , and a person in good circumstances carrying on a wholesale system of robbery . However , the jury and the prosecutor had both recommended them to mercy , and the sentence was that the younger prisoner be imprisoned for six , and tbe elder one for eighteen months , and kept to hard labour .
I EXDEIVOCRISO TO OBTAIN MoNEV BV THREATS . — William Smith , aged 21 , and described in the calen-I dar as a porter , was indicted for endeavouring , by threats and menaces , to obtain money from Allen Harrison—Mr . Ryland and Mr . Laurie appeared to support the prosecution , which had been instigated by the civic authorities . —The prosecutor , a warehouseman in the employment of Messrs . Barton and Barber , Lower Thames-street , stated that , on the evening of the Oth of July , at about half-past nine , he was returning home to Bow-lane , and stopped at the corner of the Mansion-house , when the prisoner , whom he had not seen before , came up to the side of him and said , - I gave not seen you Lately , what are you going to give me ? " Witness said , " Nothing at all , I know nothing of you , " and continued to follow him , again repeating the
demand , and witness gave him the same answer . Prisoner again asked him what he was going to give him , adding , in a menacing tone , " I'll not leave you ; I'll expose you . " Witness made no reply to this , but walked on , followed by the prisoner , until they came to a policeman , when witness told him what had occurred , and gave him into custody . When at thc station he said he had been mistaken and had taken witness for another person , and begged his pardon , stating tbat he would do all he could to oblige him . —The officer , who took the prisoner , said that when he got him to the station he found that his cheeks were painted , and on seaching him he found a packet of rouge and a piece of lint for applying it to his face in his pocket . After some further evidence the jury found him" Guilty , " andhe waB sentenced to six months ' imprisonment and hard labour .

Liverpool. Pxiuct Os Ine High Seas.—Jose...
LIVERPOOL . _Pxiuct os _inE High Seas . —Joseph Ward , 22 , and Henry Mitchell , 35 , mariners , were charged with having , on board the ship , York , on the high seas , on the 27 th of May last , feloniously endeavoured to make a revolt , and to excite others to join them in it , with intent to take possession of the vessel , and run away with her . There were other counts laying the felony in other ways . —Mr . Paget ( with whom was Mr . Rushton ) opened the case to tbe jury , drawing attention to the chief points in the evidence , which was then detailed at great length . —Mr . Atkinson said a few words in behalf of
Ward , who had told him his story , namely , that he had been shipped while intoxicated , and had so remained drinking for three days , and he was not conscious of what he might have done ; that it would have been madness to attempt to take the ship against a crew of thirty-three men and several boys ; and that several of the witnesses gave him a good character for quietness . He also addressed the court in behalf of Mitchell nearly to the same effect . —The learned judge summed up , and read those clauses of the act affecting the case , the strongest part of which was contained in the count in the indictment charging a mutiny with intent to run away with the ship . He recapitulated the heads of the evidence . He pointed out that Mitchell was the
least implicated , inasmuch as it was not shown that he had himself endeavoured to excite any of the rest of the crew to revolt ; and it might be that he did not intend to join Ward in his wicked proposition . — With regard to the language used by Ward , it was most explicit and serious as showing his intention . — The jury , in a few minutes , returned a verdict of " Guilty" against Ward , and found Mitchel " Not Guilty . "—Sentence deferred . DEFnAumxo an _Ojodfuliows' Lodge . —Cardwell Russell Smith , 32 , was indicted for having at Liverpool , on the 2 nd of August , 1848 , feloniously forged and uttered a certain order for the payment of bs ., with intent to defraud Price Jones . —The prisoner was secretary to the Loyal Rainbow Lodge of
Oddfellows , and part of his duty was to make out all orders for the payment of money , which orders were to be signed by the If . G . or V . 2 _f . " G . before they were rendered payable . On the 2 nd of August last year the prisoner presented an order for the payment of 3 s ., purporting to be signed by Mr . Hunter , V . N . G ., to Mrs Ann Jones , the wife of Mr . Price Jones , the treasurer ofthe lodge , and received the money upon it . In March last the prisoner was removed from office , and liis successor , Mr . Astley , discovered that the order presented was a forgery , Mr . Hunter not having signed it , and in June the prisoner was taken into custody on the charge . — The jury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict of " Kot guilty . "
Manslaughter . —Ayrcs John Garcia , Joseph Martin , and Bento Gomez were charged with the murder of Richard Warren Blackwall , at Liverpool , on tbe 2 nd of March last . The prisoners , who are Portuguese , were in the _"Nottingham public-house on the evening in question , along with other Portuguese and English sailors . The catastrophe arose out of a quarrel , which was caused by the deceased using threatening language to Martin in particular . Martin , it was alleged , gave the deceased a stab with a knife , and the two other prisoners were charged with aiding and abetting him . Blackwall soon after died in the hospital . —After a long address from Mr . Blah- on behalf of the prisoners , and the summingup ofthe learned judge , the jury returned a verdict of " Guilty" of manslaughter , under great provocation against Garcia , and " Sot Guilty" against Martin and Gomez . Garcia was sentenced to hard
labour for six months . Tbial of Jons Gleesox ( Wilson ) for Murder . —It is well known that the trial of John Gleeson ( Wilson ) , for the murder of Mrs . Hinrichson and her family , under circumstances of peculiar atrocity , was appointed to take place on Thursday , but in " consequence of the rest of the criminal business having terminated early on Wednesday , the case of "Wilson was called on , and the trial was fixed to take place at one o'clock . There were four indictments against the prisoner . The first indictment charged him with having , at Liverpool , wilfully murdered Ann Hinrichson ; the second indictment charged him with the wilful murder of Henry George Hinrichson ; the third , with the wilful murder of John Alfred Hinrichson ; and the fourth , with the wilful murder of Mary Parr . —Mr . Sergeant Wilkins , with whom were Mr . Blair and Mr .
Pagett , conducted the case for the prosecution , and Mr . Pollock and Mr . Brett , defended the prisoner . —The prisoner was put upon his trial for the murder of Mary Pair , the servant . On being arraigned , nnd called upon to plead , he pleaded " jSot Guilty" in a very distinct tone . — Mr . Serfeant Wilkins then rose , and stated the case onbealf ofthe prosecution . — The evidence was then proceeded with , and upon the dying declaration of Mary Parr being put in , its admissibility was objected to by Mr . Pollock . After an argument , Mr . Justice Patteson consulted with Mr . Justice Wightman , and thc declaration was rejected . —Several witnesses having been examined , the jury returned a verdict of ** ¦ * Guilty" against Wilson . —The Court after expatiating on the enormity of the crime , and cautioning the prisoner against cherishing any _hopea of pardon , passed upon him sentence of death . — Wilson , though apparently excited , showed much firmness throughout .
Alleged Robbery On The High Seas.—A Fema...
Alleged Robbery on the High Seas . —A female , named Mary Foster , with a young child in her arms , was charged at the Liverpool police office with stealing £ 44 on board the American shi p Columbus . The prisoner was a passenger on board that vessel , and during the homeward voyage from New York to this port a female died on board . The deceased had £ 44 concealed in her stays , and this being kuown to the prisoner , she obtained access to the deceased , cut open , her stays , and took away the money . On searching thc prisoner when she , was apprehended here , a sum of £ 49 was found upon her . Mr . Rushton said he had no jurisdiction , as the offence had been committed upon the high seas , on board an American vessel . He ordered tbe prisoner ' s discharge , and that the money found upon her , except £ 5 should be kept at the police-office , to be handed over to the representatives of the deceased , on application .
Execution at Devizes . —The execution of Rebecca Smith , for murdering her infant child , took place on Wednesday at Devizes . She was about forty-four years of age , and had had eleven children —the eldest only , a daughter , is now alive ; the second , a boy , died of a bowel complaint at the age of fourteen weeks ; all the rest , with the exception of the last but one , the unhappy woman acknowledged that she poisoned a day or two after their birth .
Death Of Mr. Henry Hetherington.. (Prom ...
DEATH OF MR . HENRY HETHERINGTON . . ( Prom the Daily News . ) Among the many victims to the cholera , itis with deep regret we record the name of Henry _Hether _in-rton , ° the well-known publisher and newsvender . "It is a name familiar even to those among the middle and upper classes who have paid little attention to the movements which are going on among their less wealthy , toiling fellow-countrymen . The prominent part taken by Mr . Hetherington in the struggle to obtain relief from the duties imposed , ostensibly for financial purposes , but in reality to cripple and paralyse the press , and his sufferings in the cause , have made his name familiar to all who take any interest in politics . Prom every member ofthe more fortunately circumstanced classes with whom he came in contact , his shrewdness , his right
_English independence , and Ins honesty of purpose , won respect . But it was among the working class , of whom he was , and for whom he struggled , that his worth was most truly and thoroughly appreciated . Of Henry Hetherington it may be said , without reservation , that he ended as he began , a truthful and right-minded man . The imprisonments , fines , and seizures of property with whicli he was visited for his publication of unstamped papers , with a view to test tbe powers of an unrighteous law , conferred upon him the character of a martyr in the eyes ofthe working classes . But his sterling principlo and sound sense prevented hia being puffed up or seduced into a habit of trading upon his character . His integrity was unquestionable . He was really the devoted champion of his class , not one who assumed the character for the gratification of his own vanity , or the promotion of his own
interests . Though he had both read much and -thougbt much , Henry Hetherington possessed rather a healthy and robust than a cultivated intellect . But his appreciation of character was searching and just , and expressed with fearless frankness and racy originality . It was at once instructive and delightful to listen to his _striking , unexaggerated , often rough estimates ofthe notorieties ofthe day . The reduction of the stamp duty on newspapers , from fourpence to one penny , was mainly effected by the daring warfare which Mr . Hetherington carried on against the higher tax . With that reduction his name is inseparably associated . One ofhis
last public acts was , in connexion with his old coadjutors , to form a society for the purpose of obtaining the repeal ofthe remainingduties on newspapers , an 3 " emancipate the press from all control , except that exercised by a court of law . " But his public services had no such limited range as might be , perhaps , inferred from this specification of his principal achievement . He was a vestryman ( and a most useful one ) of the parish of St . Pancras , in which he resided . He attended and spoke with his wonted liberal energy and good sense at the recent meeting in the Princess's Theatre in favour of Parliamentary and Financial Reform ; and he was present at the Drury-lane meeting .
PUBLIC FUNERAL . We are informed , on good authority , that the funeral will be a public one . The friends and admirers ofthe deceased will meet on Sunday , at two o ' clock precisely , at 57 , Judd-street , St . Pancras , where the procession will be formed , and proceed along the New-road , and Harrow-road , to Kensalgreen Cemetery .
Provincial Newspapers: Their Views And S...
PROVINCIAL NEWSPAPERS : THEIR VIEWS AND STATEMENTS . The Drury-lane meeting still continues to elicit observations . The Newcastle Guardian has an excellent article on this subject : — " There are now hopeful signs of united political action for yractical reforms of a comprehensive and useful character . The alienation between the middle and working classes is gradually being removed , and will soon disappear altogether . It has long been obvious that this alienated feeling is the great and only obstacle to political progress . Its removal would effect a wondrous change , not only in securing a better system of government , but in
promoting a healthier social feeling between classes whose interests being mutual , ought to be constantly united in political action . The enemies of popular rights know this well enough , and hence then * dread of such a union ; hence , too , the jealousy with which the aristocracy regard tho increasing influence of the middle class , and their anxiety to stir up the other against it . But , whatever blame was formerly attributable to the middle classes for their apathy _concerning the extensive reforms demanded bythe working man , that stigma is at length in a fair way of being removed . The great meeting of the Parliamentary and
Financial Reform Association is indicative of a new era in political affairs , in which a more cordial understanding will henceforth prevail among thoso who ought never to have been anything else hut one party , having common interests and common views to advance . Both parties now come to confess their respective failings and to promise amendment for the future . It is our duty to receive their confessions as sincere , and to aid their efforts with all the heartiness which the justice arid truthfulness of their cause deserves . They seek now to do what almost everybody sees to be essential to the welfare ofthe country , to procure complete suffrage , shorter parliaments , the ballot , financial reform , and a thoroueh revision of our legislative system : and the
names of those taking part in the proceedings show that it is no mere faction movement , but one representing parties who have hitherto , from mistaken opinions of each other , acted separately , and are now concentrating their influence for popular and national _objects which every true Liberal will applaud and strive for . When wo see Mr . Feargus O'Connor , Mr . Edward Miall , Mr . George Thompson , Mr . Clark , and Sir Joshua Walmsley co-operating with Lord Nugent , Lord Dudley Stuart , and Mr . Charles Lushington , we may safely augur some good result to thc cause of progress . The amalgamation of the various parties which these names represent cannot fail to give an impetus to political lecling and to quicken the pace of every laggard . With such a
union , it will be very surprising if new and extensive reforms arc not obtained for thc country . The success of such a movement depends greatly upon the support which it will receive throughout the country . In London it has had a most auspicious beginning . Its operations will soon be extended to the large provincial towns , to which deputations will be sent , to prosecute an effective agitation , and complete the work so well begun of uniting the liberal feeling of the country into one grand focus . Newcastle will not be overlooked in this mission ; nor will its inhabitants be slow to respond to the appeal . Various causes have contributed to produce the apathy with wliich public events are unhappily regarded in this district ; but
the great mass of the people are still pervaded by the same spirit wliich formerly made their voice sc powerful , and which , once evoked , will again contribute mightily to the social and political regeneration of the country . " The Liverpool Journal gives a graphic account of the meeting in a letter signed " M . P . " " Themiddle and the workingclasses were solemnly married on Monday at Drury-lane , and not all the lords in England shall put them asunder . There was no mistake about this ' movement ; ' no making-up in the meeting . Pitand galleries crowded with Chartists ; stage and boxes with middle classes —all cheering the same sentiments and announcing the same resolve . Every grade in England
contributed its delegate to the platform . Philosophical radicalism , which has bided its time , appeared in the bulky person of Lord Nugent , earnestly disposed to be the Mirabeau of a reformed parliament . Philanthropic radicalism stood forth in Lord Dudley Stuart , who , in Hungary and Poland , never forgets Marylebone . The church was represented by the amiable and intellectual Rev . Thomas Spencer ; and dissent declaimed through the astute Edward Miall . Mi-. Lushington spoke for the shop fronts of Westminster , no longer , he said , in need of shutters when universal suffrage processions may pass by ; Feargus O'Connor , suppressing bullyism , conscious how impotent he is to stop the way Thomas Clark , a young Chartist , eager , ardent , and and
daring ; George Thompson , * worn out in the service of democracy , but determined to die in harness , gave forth the responses from the millions of inquiries as to the labour question . Concessions came from all sides . ¦ Brother , we have both been in the wrong , ' was muttered on all hands ; and , as spouses , for a term at least , class and class were united ; Sir Joshua Walmsley , whose boldness and benevolence have got over all the difficulties as to settlements , rejoicingly givingaway tho middle-cla _<* s bride . The meeting was a protest against the present , which those making a profit by the present cannot ignore . ' The people generally , ' said tho chairman , 'are sullen and discontented , and my class , the middle class , is ground down with taxation ; ' and the statement , which was delivered thoughtfully and deliberately , and not as clan-tran .
was received by that vast audience with a deeptoned ' hear , hear , ' which indicated its truth . * We have been robbed , ' said Mr . Lushington , ' insomuch as we have becen taxed without our consent . ' ' We have been deluded , ' said Lord Nugent . ' insomuch as we were told that wo were membcis of a free state' 'Wehave been deceived , ' said Lord Dudley Stuart , ' and our prosperity , bringing out social happiness , has been a humbug . ' ' We have been outraged , ' said Mr . O'Connor , * in our demands for political justice , and those who have outraged us are villia ' ns . ' * Wc are ruled over by an oligarchy , selfish and mecidore—let us therefore destroy it , ' was the one cry ; and from Monday will date the destruction . Seriously , quietly , and effectively , not in a revolutionary , but in an English way , have we commenced the work , and by the old system of agitation will public opinion be coveted , strengthened , and gathered to a head .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brothers , —Wo are happy to inform you that the differences that have existed between the prisoners in Kirkdale and the Victim Committee are all settled , that a new committee has been appointed , and all appears to give satisfaction , both to the prisoners and the Manchester locality . You will learn from the annexed balance sheet that the Manchester Chartists have subscribed nobly . The men on whose behalf we are now writing have worked hard and long for the movement , and suffered much for the cause of Freedom . And now , Brothers , what are you doing for them ? . Have you thought of their sufferings ? Are you anxious to make them comfortable ? Then subscribe a trifle , and ask your
neighbour to do the same , for unless you do , they cannot be supported . We have learned that Doctor M'Douall and family are in Tery distressed circumstances , aiid we have decided to do our best to support them . Will you aid us ? Let your actions prove that you are men , and by making them comfortable you will maintain your character as Englishmen , and diffuse comfort to your fellow labourers in the cause of freedom .

The Land Scheme. (From The Weekly Dispat...
THE LAND SCHEME . ( From the Weekly Dispatch . ) We seem to have seen the end , if not of the Charter , at least of Chartism . It has had a strange and eventful history . Ten years ago Stephens and Oastler , at _Ashton-under-Lyne , brought the fury of the Anti-Poor Law Agitation to its fever and delirium point . Manufacturers were not safe in their beds , aud their wives and daughters were mobbed and hustled in the cotton-spinning mushroom towns . Leaders , lodges , secretaries , midnight conclaves , torch-light meetings , sacred months , followed . Spies , strikes , pike-head manufactories , Kersallmoor processions , rapidly pushed on to Newport risings and treason . Government prosecutions , fines , imprisonment !* , sacrificed the talkative and rich . Then came tbat vile and unnatural conspiracy
between the aristoeraey , the rabble ( not the people ) , and the landed gentry , to crush tho efforts of the Anti-Corn Law League to untax bread and unfetter industry , which exhibited itself in a determined effort on the part of tbe loudest _bellowers for liberty to destroy tho right of petition , the privilege of public meeting , and freedom of speech . The reputation of tho masses was destroyed in tho eyes of their fastest friends of the middle chsses , and the cause of an extended suffrage was , and has been , put back for years . Against thc adamantine power of society , andthe irresistible force of the love of order inherent in the British community , physicalforce Chartism broke itself into fragments . Having the right freely to meet , and to speak , and to write —possessed , by the Reform Bill , of the means of
peaceably , rationally , and by the energy of public opinion alone , realising any changes clearly willed by the intelligent body of the people—the nation would not tolerate the attempts which weak and visionary fools made to produce that confusion and insecurity by violence , which would have destroyed the very springs of industry and reduced labour to starvation . Chartism was summarily squashed as a stupid nuisance , which helped tho peerage to arrest the progress of more formidable , because more practicable , attacks upon aristocratic abuse , and lordly plunder ; and the events of April , 1848 , crowneujikc utter discomfiture ofthe mere slack-jaw patriotism of Kennington Common , and utterly put to thc rout the credit of the stuttering convention of
thirty shillings a-week Lucius Junius Brutuses , who spouted through their wages , and ended their oral wisdom with the bottom of their beer-pot , and the embers of their tobacco-pipe . The Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association has now directed thc zeal of the misguided into a less tortuous channel , and made the torrent of Chartism to flow in a steadier , and therefore stronger current . The leaders ofthe Kennington Common hoax who aro yet at large have sunk to their proper level—and wo bow to the . wisdom of the Latin proverb , which advises us , if we have nothing good to say of the dead , to say nothing at all . Turning their Charter-pikes
into ploughshares , and the five points of the National Petition into Tusser'sten points of good husbandry , many wiser working-men hare , addressed themselves to the relief of their condition , andthe elevation of their own order , through the more effectual influences of economical changes . It maybe conceded to Mr . O'Connor that he had thc merit of organising the power of the labouring classes , and concentrating their strength , more effectually and formidably than they had ever been before ; and whatever may be our opinion ofthe total want of sense and discretion which characterised his guidance of these elements of political effectuality , we cannot withhold our admiration from the
unshaken fidelity and trustfulness which has been exhibited by bis followers , or tbe energy and combining skill wbich , in his hands , might have better served a better cause . He has , as he now informs us , taken his leave of public life—not until , in our candid apprehension , itlias taken leave of him . His influence was great—has been abused , and has been lost . We are not disposed to 3 neer at his epilogue . We shall not , therefore , affect to take him at his word , and wish , as heartily as he does , that he may never more be heard of . It takes some genius even to be a demagogue . There is intelligence enough even in his followers to make it a leather in any man's cap that he waa able for so long to be their leader . His Land Scheme partakes of the merits and defects ofall his projects . - That he was enabled to induce poor hard-working men so to combme their weekly three half-nences . as in no
great length of time to accumulate a fund of nearly £ 200 , 000 , affords ample evidence of executive design , _~" andaby no means contemptible administrative faculty . That he did not know how wisely to use thc great power he wielded , or to teach the masses how sagaciously to apply the cumulative forces he showed them that they possessed , is only to prove , that like many other inventors and projectors , his _scienco and ingonuity fell altogether short of thc skill of applying them to purposes of practical utility ; and that to _propose and dispose demands two very different orders of ability . The Land Scheme , in its end , is undeniably laudable and excellent . Were the means as wise as the end Osgood its success would be easily demonstrable . Its fundamental postulate is incontrovertible . The course of our social system , the necessary result of _^ uv _eonstoU onal policy of an hereditary Sst 0 I cracy _, with its entail and primogeniture , our pro-

tected interests , with their scandalous monopolies , and our rotten boroughs and pocket counties , with their jobbing members , and huge government patronage , has been to concentrate power and property into a few hands . There is no country in the world where so many of the population are the servants of others , mere recipients of wages , and precarious dependents upon masters , who , from the pressure of population and consequent competition of labour , reduced the great body of the people to the condition of mere unadstricted white slaves . Political power is attached to tho occupation and possession of land . A freehold of only forty shillings gives a county vote . Yet there is not a State on the face ofthe globe where so small a number ofthe
native inhabitants are possessed of any , e ven the smallest , portion of the soil of what is facetiously called their native country . We boast of our agricultural superiority , and have compelled our people to pay a tax of fifty millions a-year for the support and encouragement of the cultivation ot these islands . Yet there is not a kingdom in Europe in which so small a proportion of the whole number of the people derive any support from the tilling of the earth as in this realm ; the male adults employed in agricultural pursuits in Great Britain being not quito one-sixth of the whole male adult population of the kingdom . Cottages have been Eul led down whenever the peasantry have een wheedled into the union or hounded out
of the parish by sham Game Law prosecutions . The Irish landlords have helped their clearance system by conspiring with steamboat proprietors to carry over the Hibernian bog-trotters to Liverpool or Glasgow at nominal fares , and to charge exorbitant rates for the passage back to Ireland again . Small farm 3 have been run into large ones—the rural districts have been desolated and depopulated . The masses of the people have been driven into the large towns , and confined tothe pursuit of manufacturing and handicraft industry ; while the few who have been left in the country to cultivate imperfectly the soil , have been reduced to a minimum of wages inadequate to the supply of mere food , and totally incompetent to the acquisition of clothing
and other secondary necessaries . These circumstances have resulted in the destruction of a home trade . The equilibrium of occupation between agriculture and manufactures has beon altogether disturbed . Five-sixths of the population have been made producers of clothing and other manufactures . Only one-sixth have been left to be their customers in exchange for food—and the impoverished condition of tliat one-sixth is so great , that they are all but profitless consumers of the produce of the towns ; insomuch that thousands of tbe peasantry go without any new purchases of clothing for many years . Now the object of this Land Scheme is to _' _restore this equilibrium . . It proposes to create a large new class of rural freeholders , who , by
tho acquisition of county qualifications , shall acquire that stake in the country , which is the best guarantee for order , and attain an amount of political power which may transfer the representation of the country from the peers to the people . It designs to transpose a largo proportion of the industry ofthe country from the pursuit of manufactures , in which there is too much competition and too little consumption , to agriculture , in which there is too little labour employed , and too few consumers of manufactures left . It expects , by drafting off the surplus labour of the towns , to raise wages there , and by making these drafted corps freeholders , to promote the fertility of the soil , and increase the number of the poor who ave
their own employers , and made independent of wages . No end can bo better than this . No scheme for the regeneration of society promises more useful results . No failure has been more completeno means less adapted to the object . When , indeed , we hear its projector from Drury-lane promising to every workmgman 40 s . a day or £ 730 a year , we are at no loss to know where the source ofthe abortion is to be found ; and earnestly would we advise his followers to hold him to his word , of retiring into private life , or once more going to law and calling himself to the bar , to which he has been too often brought up already . Gardening and agriculture are not to be learnt in a day . In proportion as men are unskilled in country
craft , and unmured to rural labour , they require a larger space of earth and more capital to succeed . A gardener , like a poet , is born , not made . You cannot all at once teach a tailor to grow cabbage . The experiment of five-aero favm 9 should be commenced near large towns , and by country labourers , not by cockneys , who cannot tell a cow from a cucumber . Even digging is an art . A small tenant must understand the treatment of cattle and the making of butter ; because , without housefeeding and soiling , it is impossible to command the necessary quantity of manure . The rotation of crops must also be thoroughly known ; because much of the success of the small farmer depends upon occupying every square inch of ground , and ( by
rapidly filling up of blanks ) upon growing three or four crops on the space on which the large farmer can only raise one or tsvo . A false start has been made , calculated to dishearten honest men fromthe further pursuit of a right principle ; and our object is , and shall be , to discriminate between the practicable end and the impracticable means . Farm labourers and skilled gardeners , selected for their good character and industrious habits , should be chosen as the pioneers of the scheme . They should be made freeholders , subject to a rent-charge , and for the security and cheapness of tenure they mi ght hold of trustees of undoubted responsibility . Wo entreat the subscribers to the Land Scheme not to lose heart . Let them continue their subscriptions
, taking . proper precautions to secure the fund against embezzlement and dilapidation . While it accumulates and bears interest , it must be the object of tho labouring classes and their friends to bring practical knowledge and business habits to bear upon the proper developement of a plan which we are convinced , if properly worked out , bears within it the seeds of the regeneration of the peasantry , and , through their elevation , of the relief of the toiling millions , and of the enfranchisement of the working classes through the rapid extension of forty-shilling freeholders . It shall be our object to prove , hy thc most incontrovertible evidence , that
smau noiaings are capable of maintaining millions in comfort , and entire independence upon the ca- ' price of masters , or the precarious tenure bf inadequate weekly -wages . Although * wc admire the wise dread which the public entertain of projectors and " provincial Chancellors of Exchequer , " we shall not shrink from also showing how the scheme of conferring farms of all sizes upon various classes of agriculturists , may be carriod into practical effect —and in the meantime we have but to counsel the supporters of the Land Soheme to be cautious , but not desponding . There is hope for them yet , which prudence and ability may convert into certainty and success , _vv-.. m «

The Widow 01 ? _Milto * _* * . —At the recent meeting of the British Archaeological Society , the Rev . Dr . Marsden , of Nantwich , read a short paper containin- ** particulars concerning the widow of Milton , wSo survived her husband fifty-two years , and was buried at Nantwich , in the county of Chester . She was thc daughter of Edward Minshall _, Esq ., of Stoke , situated three miles from that town . _Milj ton , at the time of this his third marriage waa fifty-three years of age , and this lady married him when " blind and infirm , " and appears to have died in 1730 " Although no monument , observed Mr .

The demand is very limited for every article ; prices much as last day .
August 24 . i'here was very little wheat fresh up for market , and the value of both English and Foreign must be quoted nominally the same as 011 Monday . Barley could be purchased on rather easier terms . The arrivals ot Foreign oats during the week exceed 19 , 300 qrs . Beans and peas much as last noted .

CATTLE . SMrrnnE-jD , Monday , August 20 . — The improvement in the value of stock on Friday last had the effect of consider _, ably increasing the supply of beasts on sale in to-day ' s market . " Although the attendance -of both town and country buyers was extensive , the beef trade—as the number of beasts exceeded the wants of the butchers—was in a very sluggish state , at last Monday ' s quotations , being 2 d per 8 lbs . below those paid on Friday . The very primest Scots sold at from 3 s 8 d to 3 s lOd per 8 lbs . ; at least a moiety of the beasts were in the hands of jobbers . _Prior to the close of business a total clearance had not been effected . The _general quality ofthe beasts was seasonablygood , that of
the sheep , lambs , and calves somewhat inferior . For tha time of year the number of sheep on offer was extensive . Although the mutton trade was not so active as on Friday last , a steady business was transacted in sheep , at fully the currencies ' ot Monday last . Thc primest old Downs went off at 3 s lOd to 4 s per 8 lbs ., at which a fair clearance was effected . The supply of lambs was somewhat large ; most breeds , especially Down qualities , sold freely at full prices , which ruled from 4 s to 5 s per 8 tt > s . For calves , the number of which was small , compared with that exhibited for soma time past , the demand was heavy , at about stationary prices . The sale for pigs was very inactive . In the quota _, tions we have no alteration to report .

In the Irish butter market we have no material alteration to notice since this day se ' nnight ; the dealers still purchase sparingly for present consumption .

The bacon market remains very quiet , and but a limited business transacted in the best description .
