London. Mr. Preston's Plan.—Curiosity, O...
LONDON . Mr . Preston's Plan . —Curiosity , on Monday night , tempted me to attend a- public meeting held at the Peacock , Houghton-street , Clare-mErket , to hear detailed a plan of the veteran Preston for the salvation of the working classes . I found , on entering the room , the old man on his legs , labouring away to explain his plan to his audience , some of whom I am sorry to say did not pay that attention which any subject of such a nature deserves . The old man's assertions were bold , but not new ; they were but a small part ofthe grander scheme of Paine , in his Agrarian Justice , to which was attached some little of an old plan of the author ' s—the Spcncean . The plan seemed to be as follows : —First , present a memorial to the Queen , or House of Lords—it did not appear quite plain which—to pass a law to compel each
workman , when in employment , to pay Sd . per week , to form a fund whereby each old person may be superannuated at £ 20 per year , and thus taken out of the labour market . Second , the probate duty to be repealed , and a new duty of 21 per cent , imposed on all demised property above £ 60—the produce to be appropriated tor the relief of the sick , widows , and orphans . Third , each holder of land at his death to give , for public purposes , one acre for every forty he may possess ; his heir at his demise to do the same ; and so ad infinitum . The revenue of the land thus ' acquired , to pay the expenses of Government . To carry these plans , he proposed a very large council—I believe he said seventy . —How this Septuagint Council were to proceed to accomplish any one of
London. Mr. Preston's Plan.—Curiosity, O...
.. ,. . _, _i it ,.... jtj _„„ 4 . _nvon litni TTfi sat these objects , the author did not evmvhmt . He sat down , requesting that any one who desired would ask him questions . Several speakers followed , but , instead of confining themselves to the subject , they wandered over the whole host of grievances under which we labour . One very fierce Scotchman made a serious charge against the Chartists , stating that the national petition talked of " bloody strife ; whilst another said , that he had made one ot a delegated body of Chartists , representing all the societies in London-the time not definitely stated-who attended , and who were concocting some scheme that was to end in blood , unless the Charter was made into law . As we know one to be a fib , it is verv likely the other is one likewise . 1 dethat delegated body of Chartists , at any
ny any time , did ever carry a resolution to resort to force to cany the Charter . That such a proposition may have been somewhere made , is not improbable , as there are " always fools and knaves in every society ; butthatthegreatbody of Chartists ever contemplated such folly as to fight against the authorities , is an idea only held by men whose heads are no larger than pipkins . After a very noisy discussion , a subscription was entered into to pay the expense of the room , and the mooting adjourned to that day fortnight . The plan is quite impracticable . At the first step it will bo upset . Only fancy the Queen , or House of Lords , recommending such a measure ! Working men , if they wish to obtain their rights , must neither look to great nor small , but depend on themselves . They have depended first on one partv , then on another ; now
on this man , again on that ; and so on—still being diddled each time . They deserve to be so . Why not do their own business ? Can they expect another to do their work for them ? Let each look to himself , Lot eaeli meet his brother in oppression coolly and calmly to discuss the grievances under wliich all labour . The first object for the operative to obtain is political power . This is the only lever that will lift him to independence . . All schemes tliat do not begin with this will prove a waste of time and of energy . All who would not admit the labourer to political equality may be philanthropists , but they are no true friends to man . Hear all plans—listen carefully to that which may propose anything to benefit our condition—but depend on none . The workers ' emancipation from tyranny must be the work of themselves . —Correspondent .

William Fallow will open the discussion . It is particularly requested that every member will attend on this occasion , as business of importance will be transacted at the close ofthe discussion .
NORTHAMPTON . County . Delegate Meeting . —A county delegate meeting was held at . Northampton on Tuesday last ; Mr . George Watson in the chair . Mr . Gammage was chosen secretary . After considerable discussion , the following plan and address were proposed by Mr . John Pariah , seconded by Mr , John Merrill , and carried unanimously :- — election fund . Address of the Northampton County Delegates , met at Nortliampton , on Sunday , January 12 th , 1845 , to the Ch . a . _rttits of Great Britain ,
_Brotuee Democrats , —Impelled by an earnest desire to see the success of the great principles of democracy , as laid down in the people ' s Charter , we venture to address you on a subject of vast and growing importance to the whole country ; but wliich has been but too little noticed by those whose interest it is our duty to promote . Tlie importance of the . Chartists gaining electoral power is not to be denied ; and the using of that power to the greatest possible advantage will be admitted by all who wish to behold their country ' s emancipation . It will not be denied that there never existed greater necessity for action than now . For years have we been talking about the Charter , while we have never thought of the means for its accomplishment . Let us now begin to work in earnest , or Chartism will soon be no more than a name . For this purpose we would call your
attention to the necessity of being prepared with Chartist candidates at the next general election , which , before twelve months have passed over our heads , will probably occur . The "Whigs , from their baseness , have for ever lost public confidence as a party ; and the Peel Government is also becoming every day weaker . Dissension is to be seen in the enemy ' s camp ; why , then , do not the people unite for their common cause ? The Chartiats of this county set you the example : may it be speedily imitated by tlie whole country ! Every county should immediately have its election committee , who should be actively
engaged in forwarding the good work . It but a few Chartist members could be got into the Honseof Commons , they would strike the factions with dismay . Well organised , they would form such a barrier in the way of class legislation , as would be impossible for Whigs and Tories to surmount . The business of the corrupt House of Commons might be so " obstructed" as to compel whatever Government should be in authority to concede the people's righ-. teous claims . To help to such result , we beg to submit the following plan for your consideration , wliich we have adopted , and which we believe will apply to nearly all Chartist districts .
FLAK FOR RAISING AN ELECTION FUND . 1 . To call public meetings in the several localities in the county , for the purpose of testing the public on the propriety and expediency of raising a fund for election purposes . 2 . That at the public meetings a resolution be brought before the people as a pledge of the intended policy , wliich shall be to bring forward a candidate at the next general election , pledged to the people ' s Charter . . 3 . That the public meetings shall each auuoint an
election committee for the purpose of carrying out the object of the said meetings , whose business it shall be to canvass the locality in which they reside for subscriptions to the election fund , and that a cashier and five trustees be appointed by the several localities , to whom all monies shall be paid collected by the committees . 4 . That for the . purpose of making the fund as extensive as possible , each town where it ia necessary shall be divided into districts , and all the inhabitants waited upon for the purpose of Bolicitingthem to become subscribers .
5 . _ That the fund be open for the purpose of re ceiving subscriptions for the space of twelve month " from the commencement , and every individual wh

That should the general election occur _hefti * a sufficient fund be raised to defray the oxpcm attendant on taking a candidate to the po | | *| committee in each locality shall have power in borrow any amount necessary for that purpose th same to he afterwards paid by the subscriptions of tl members . 9 _. That the electoral association in each loealitv shall hold a meeting once in every month , when the committee shall warn each member to attend .
10 . That the committee in each locality shall meet onee in every fortnight , for the purpose of _discussing the affairs of the association , and for carrying out any plans which they shall consider necessary to promote its interests , providing such plans be in accordance with the avowed principles ofthe association . 11 . That on the bringing forward of a Chartist candidate by the central committee , such candidate shall he submitted to the choice of tlie member * of the association in each locality , and if approved of bv the majority , he shall be proposed on the day of nomination , and be taken to the poll .
12 . That should any monies be required previous to the election to further the object of the . association , the cashier , together with the trustees , shall have power to draw the necessary , amount from the bank , subject however to the consent of the committee in each locality . 13 . That in no instance shall bribery or treating bo carried on , for the purpose of securing the vote of any elector ; but the committee shall keep a ' strict watch on the friends ofthe various candidates , in order that if found guilty of such corrupt practices , the case may be brought before the House of Commons , and any member returned by such means be disqualified to

Narkow Escape from Assassination . — A pedlar had his life saved a few days back on the road between Orleans and Blois by a mere chance . He had stopped , not far from St . Laurent , to arrange something in his pack , and was sitting down so employed by the wayside , when suddenly a tall man appeared , and after cxchangiiiff some words with the pedlar ,
knocked him down with a blow of a stick , and then plunged a knife twice into his body . He then proceeded to rifle his pockets , and having taken ten francs from his waistcoat , was preparing to examine the rest of his dress , and to complete the murder , when a dog came up and began to smell about . The assailant seeing this took to flight , no doubt ' concluding that the master of the animal was not far distant . The dog belonged to M . Alliot , of Mcr , who soon came up ,, and had the wounded man removed to a place ot safety , where medical aid was afforded him . He is now in a fair way of recovery , but no traces of tflC ! ruffian who attacked him have been discovered .

She is a very pretty , stylish , _« Englishwoman . He ia a coarse , awkward , _stupw and booby-looking Indian . She seemed to treat n ? spouse in rather a schoolmistress style , and was _vas ; most
amused at his ignorance of the use of the nee saw household articles . He put in objections to l " purchase of anything that did not meet lus _ssras notions , and seemed to doubt the necessity ot _hav »» earthern plates . She managed the savage pw * ' well ; but , while he was enforcing his Indian _coomwv in very harsh tones and unintelligible Engnsu , could not help asking ourselves if that was the miy Indian magic that won the second Desdemona . imagine that one winter in the rude nouses oi _^ | Ojibbeways will take off something of tho _poew savage life .
