Aberdeen. ] Mr. M'Gbath Arrived Here On ...
_ABERDEEN . ] Mr . _M'Gbath arrived here on Sunday the 12 th inst ., and lectured on Monday evening on thel _^ _n-J and its capabilities . Mr . MTbcrson in lha chair . He said , that he hoped that the people came not there to gratify their curiosity , but to advance the political freedom of their country ; of all the glorious sights and scenes which this world _Lrnisks , there is none so glorious as that of a pe iple _btrugjlii g for their liberty . lie said there were those who told us , tU _:-t we are a free and happy _peup'o . and , therefore lave no need of such meeting * as he present . He then proved tl ai there does exist a necessity for such meetings , by _contrasting the _condition ef American slaves with the _condition nf the so called free
labourers ia our mines and factories ; the condition of the savage who roams wild and free over the prairies of central America , with that ' of thc immense mass of outcasts who starve in the midst if _oppression and irirae ia Loudon _Jttd other large towns . He then went on to shew , that ifc was only by a return tothe land , from which they and their fathers hare been so ruthlessly driven , that they could inspect to change and improve their condition ; and showed that thc land was completely capable of doing this , and ihr more . He next reviewed the doctrines of the plausible _Maltuus , and his disciples of the Whiganl Tory schools , and , we think , proved , ihat if there is indeed a surplus population iu the _country it mu . * _- . t be ei . niposed of those , who , in the
course of their whole lives , _Uavc B . CYCV produced _au- _^ ht that can or will , in the least degree , add to the wealth or comfort of society . He then proceeded to . iti ' old and explain the oijects and capabilities of the Chartist Co-o ; . crative laud Society , ita infallible . « wiiriiy in its being conducted by such men as _O-Connor _, and Uibcrts _, and Duncombe , than whom _ii « men have ever better deserved the love and confi-• Aenec of the people of this country . He pointed to t ? _ia commercial panics that arc past , and tllC certainty of _tlu-jr retum , and urged his hearers to join lhe Land Society , and thus secure to themselves a Kife retreat in their hour of need . On Tuesday evening ? . lr . M'Gratli lectured on the connection of the Land _qucratuiii with the CUartev .
_Soibee . —Ou Friday evening a soiree was held , Mr . John _L-egg in the chair , 'l'iie ch _* . * irm * _-n opined the business with one of tliose short aad pithy speeches for which that gentleman is _ruini _' _-ii-iLle , and was followed by Jfr . Alex . II . Henry , who responded to the sentiment , "May the discontent of tae people of this country end in ' their attainment of political equality , as well as in tlieir social aud moral _iMiproveiacnt . " Hc said , that lie was aware it hail been laid down by many men , both in thc past and present ages of the world , that contentment with our condition , whatever that condition may be , is the _highest of human attainments . Yet he said he looked upon this idea as one of those faiacies wh ; ch uave been handed down from father to son , and from age to age , and received by thc people as a mint
truth , without thought or _imjuiry . Por himse _' _. f _, he iMktd upon discontent * is the fountain from wlifcii ail human improvements had sprung , sail from which they must ol necessity ever spring . In proof of thu position hc reviewed the religion- * and political chauges which have _t-. * . ken p lace in this country , and the iMprovcajenls in the arts ami _SCUTiCCS , which chauges and improvements he contended could never have _tnlcen place if tne people had been perfectly contented with tlieir former condition , and that it WW " . _tllfctt _vlKCOntent . aided hy their knowledge , -which had led to all those iiuprm-ejneiits . air . nines Jl'PherSon next responded to the senti-• eut , " May thc benclits of co-operation in land , . _ibour _, and uiachineiy , hc sjieudily extended to all parts of the empire . " He said that some might think , as he waa already connected with a co-operative
store , be might be apt to look with something akin to jealousy on the _prepress of the Laud society ; but so far from this being the case , he was ready to assist lu forwarding the Land _sclieine by every means iu his power ; for so thoroughly was he convinced of the advantages of co-operation , tliat hc considered that eveiy thing that went to teach the people the advantages which it eould confer upon them , iustead of taking from _tV-eni , _wouldonly add to their _nnnikcra _, so that the more co-operative stores , and the wider the extension of the Land Society , by so much more would a tliuroarh _kuo-vledge of their i > _-.- ; nei _=-Ie * _spread . Sir , M'Unith lieXt _ndill' _^ ed the m-si-ting ou the evils of class inisrnic—but tu give even an outline of his splendid address , wc fct-J to be completely beyend our power . He made us ,. indeed , feel that lie is every w » y worthy of the first rank _maong the advocated ofOUl " _ClUi-li _. Ms ' . Slraih _iara as sumo ol liis
finest recitations , and Mr . _M'lato-di some of his merriest _roiigs—so that tho evening was indeed a fea- _> t of intellect and rational mirth . V . _' e may add that a branch of the Lulld Soeiety will be formed here . —CvrrcsjMjiida _. t .

person in the _neighbourhood that was in thc habit of setting plantations for the gentry , and asked him what be thought of planting the land with oak . The man , after going over it , told the squire that lie thou _ght he would be foolish to turn it to any such purpose , and advised bim to see what could be done by parcelling it out amongst the labouring men of the parish . Accordingly announcement was made that the lanJ , which was then growing furze , was to be let in small allotments , at 353 . per acre , ami immediately there arose a strong competition for its possession . As soon as the working men got it they drained it aud turned it up with the spade ; it consisted in alt of about twenty acres , I went on it and conversed with some of the men who were engaged in getting in their potatoes , they told me that some had n
quarter of an acre , others half an acre , and others a whole acr .- ; , in proportion to th _» numbers of their family . One man told mo that from his quarter of au acre-lie had sold £ 5 worth of early cabbage , and that he afterwards set late potatoes in the same ground for which he expected to rccieve at least £ 5 mure , aud that if it had not been for having the laud , small as the quantity was , tbat he bclicYCd himself and all those who had the same privilege would have been _paupos-s on the parish duriug some part oi the year , but as it was , theland found them a little employment-, and kept them outof the bastile . Mr . Acton has since let out about twenty acres more , and the consequence is , . that in the whole village ( _Penvin ) near which the laud is situated , tliere is not a single
pauper but one old man , aud he is a cripple , aad cannot perform any labour . Day has since tried to get the land attached to the / arm again , but Mr . Acton will not take it from the poor men whom he says have made it what it is by their labour and perseverance , The farmers of the neighbourhood were so annoyed at the picture Of independence presented by these men , and were so much afraid that other landholders might be induced to follow Mr . Acton ' s example , that they held a meeting _amongst themselves , and agreed that no man amongst- them should let- the poor men have the use of their horses and carts to draw manure to thc land , or the produce from it , no matter what price they mig ht offer for them . But one farmer , who had A great number of'horses and earls , and who Jit ) not go to the meeting , was wise
enough to profit by the villainy of the others , for the morning following the nicetinj : of the _Solons _, this person was as busy as possible with his carts and horses , doing the very . thim : which the others had agreed they would not do . _JS ow , though the farmers did not succeed in their diabolical scheme , you will see from this how much they dread the Jabourers getting _? inall plots of , land , because they know that as long as the poor fellows are . without laud , they must work for them alone , _asd at their own prices too . The fanners ' have now to pay enormous poorrates , and by encouraging the allotment system tliey might entirely abolish pauperism and destroy the rates ; but no , they would rather pay fifty per cent _, oftheir profits , than allow their unfortunate slaves to become independent of them . There is another gentleman who has large estates in the same quarter —Sir Charles Thuckmoitoii . The working men on one of his estates addressed several letters to his steward , begging to be allowed to rent small
plots of land , at the same th-acslating , that they did not care so much about the rent , providing they could get the land . The steward , however , did not take notice of i hem , aud they at length sent a deputation from amongst themselves to Sir Charles to make the request of him personally . Sir Ch . 'irles received them courteously , and at once acceded to their request , and let them have from a quarter to an acre of land each . Thc farmers no sooner heard of it than ihey became ' indignant , . and one of them went to Sir Charles ami pointed out to-him what would be the consequence of his conduct . The fanner stated that the persons who had an acre of land would be well able to make a living of it , and would network for any one ; and in that case he wanted to know where were the fanners to get labourers from ? Sir Charles doubted that a man with a family could make a living of one acre of land , but the farmer persisted that a man with ono acre of land , and working for himself , would be well able to make double the amount that he _wanld receive if he
continued to-labour for the farmers as before . Sir Charles thought it very curious that ' a man having a family , and renting onl y _oneacsoof hind , and pil . _Ving foill' pounds a year for it , should be able to make a living of it , whilst the farmer who complained had four hundred acres of much better land , and only gave one pound an acre for it , was always grumbling that the rent was too _liigll , _fllld that lie could not niai _:.-i « cto live . _"Kcally , " said Sir Charles , "if what yon state be true , I had better take the four hundred acres from you , for which I am now receiving only ; fc ' -iV ! 0 , and let it out to the labouring men at the rate of £ -1 per acre , when _Iniayreecivc £ l , GOO . " Thc " bull-frog" was struck dumb , and slunk away cursing his folly . I saw several other allotments , some in the town of Pershore , and was told that were it r . ot for them that one half the working men would
be paupers . One man , who rents about the twelfth part of an acre , last year tried the plan of dibbling wheat , as recommended by Mr . O'Connor , lie set less than a quarter ofa pint of seed , each grain being tit from four to six inches apart ; and _wlien it came to be thrashed , it produced a bushel of excellent wheat . In some of thc holes he dropped two or three grains , and from them sprung much less wheat thaii . fioia _ihr-.-, c grains that had been set & iii « ly . 1 heard ofa man , somewhere near _l'M ' -shorc _, who a few years ago . bought five acres of land—poor land—uf couive as the price of it tells ; but he has since lived upon it , built himself a comfortable house , find was tho other day _t & rcA Allow for his bargain , but refused to take it , as he says ifc is worth more than that to him . Who now will say that the land of this country will not yield enough to maintain its own inhabitants I
l _' . lUMIXGHAM . On Monthly , 13 th , I lectured here to a large meeting in The _Giiiisti _.-. n Chartist church . Mr . Alfred _Fussellin thc ch ir . I explained the land plan , and at fhe close , had to encounter the opposition of Mr . J . Mason , who urged Mr . O'Brien ' s objections ,, to which 1 replied , and I think , . succeeded in convinc ing tiie people , that wc could do it if wc would _.
WORCESTER . I lectured here on Tuesday evening . The meeting was net mmierous , owing partly to iis being held in the Socialist ' s room , against which thc pious population of tlie town have . i _Iraly _reJjgicns prejudice ; and secondly , because the meeting was announced to take place aa hour before the working classes leave their er . _' - _ilnyinent . I enrolled a few nis < iibcr- _* , however , and think that my visit will be of some service ia the cause .

I had a conversational meeting with thc members of the Land Society here on Wednesday night , and entered into arrangements to attend a public meeting on Ihe following Monday . _WOOTTOX-UMlEU-EDOK . On Thursday _evening I had a splendid meeting in tlie Town Hal ) , about five hundred persons were present . After laying down our plan and explaining how the land had been taken from the people , I invited discussion , but no one seemed desirous of opposing iue , and the liitelhig quietly separated .

London Corn _Exciiaxiu :, Monday , Oct . 20 . —The past week ' s arrivals of _En-Jish wheat ior our market , coastwise , were on a moderately extensive scale , but very -middling quality , especially as relates to the parcels of new received from Cambridgeshire . Oi other grain of home prod tic - * , except peas , the receipts were jiiailed . The imports of _foreign wheat iill ' . i OiliS _H'Cl'O Oil the _JlSfil' _-si- _'e , but only a small supply of cats reached us from Ireland . _l-Yesh up to-day , coastwise , as well as by land carriage and sample , very little English wheat came . to hand ,-yet , as _sevcnil huge parcels Were left over on Friday , wc hail a fair average quantity on otter . This , together with the accounts from the ' north coming more
favourable as relates to the ingathering of the outsr . iijdii ! 2 crops , caused the dcuaiid ( notwithstanding the _lar-e attendance of both town and eouutry buycis ) to be less active than fur some time past ; _ncvi-rtlieicss , a fuil average amount of business was doing in the artiele , and tlic advance noticed in the quotations on Monday last was steadily -supported _, ' fhe show of free foreign wheat was by no means large . The best qualities of both red and wliite coinnia 7 ided a steady , though not . to -s ; y brisk inquiry ; and last week ' s prices were obtained in every instance . TllC middling lind inferior hinds , however , commanded very little attention , yet they were not considered cheaper . A few parcels of wheat , barley , and oafs , under lock , were taken for speculative purr . oses . For shipment there was little or no inquiry .
Scarcely any English barky was Oil show ; while the supply of free foreign was Mnail . The barky trade was active , and extreme prices were paid for selected parcels of both old and new , Superfine old malt was the turn dearer , with an active demand . The value of other _kind-s was maintained _wiihout difficulty . Although upwards of lB _. OOO quarters of oafs came to hand from Ireland last week , very few oats were Oil offer to-day . The oat trade was , therefore , brisk , at an Improvement on last Monday ' s quotations of from ls . to 2 s . per quarter , at which the whole were speedily cleared olf . Tlic supply of beans was by no means large , yet the sale was rather inactive at late rates . Peas , from their abundance , moved off slowly , at about stationary prices . The flour trade was steady at full quotations . In steds rather more business wis doing . _CUUREXT _THICES OP _GUMX . VT . OUU . _AXD SEED
