1 JARNSI . 15 Y . Mn . O'CoNsoa ' s Visit . —Tuesday being the dav nnuoiinccd t r Mr . O'Connor ' s visit to Barnsley , early m the day the town was all bustle . A messenger was dispatched to Sheffield , to ascertain the esacu time he would bo in this town . At nine o ' clock am . tlic messenger arrived with the tidings that Mr . 0 Connor would be here at two p . m . Notwithstanding the extreme wetness of the day , nt two o ' clock UousaiHis were seen wending their way to the station-house , but wore doomed to disappointment as it ii-as half-pst three o ' clock before lie arrived An excellent dinner was provided at the Odd Fellows liali , in honour of the patriot , of which sixty-nine persons partook . Whoa tlie cloth was removed , the health ot beargus O'Connor , Esq ., was drank will ; three times throe . Thomas Slingsby Duncombe . j ^ sq ., received a similai- token o { ' respect . The hall
\ vi \ i thonopened , and the public admitted at Id . each . Ac seven o ' clock the business of the evciiiii < - commenced . Mr . Peter lloey was i » ianimonsl y ° called to tlie chair , lio opened the meeting by tlesirins ; that all parties would patiently attend to what should be advanced by the talented lecturer , mid he doubted not but every one present would benefit bv the discourse . At its conclusion , Mr . 0 'Cumsor would answer any question that mijihi ho put to him . Ik then calietl on Mr . Frank Mirlield to road an address which had been prepared . Mr . Miriiekl then read the following address : — " Honoured Sir and Noble Patriot , — A great length of time has elapsed since our town has heeu honoured with your presence . It . has been a source of regret to many of us , when we call tu mind the . petty , yofc malicious annoyance you experienced when you were last here . " Since then
every stratagem lms been had recourse to , in the vain hope of destroying your , usefulness , till at iast your enemies have comp l etely annihilated themselves . Their wholesale slanders have stamped them the basest of mankind .. Whatever abuse 0 ! you we find in the sordid and prostrated press of thi .-country , excites no surprise nor inquiry . No , sir ; your straightforward and disinterested honesty Coa iireat number of years lias won for you the golden opinion of nil good men . Little attention is now paiii

to your rerilera . Their perfidious assertions carry less weight with them than the tomfooleries oi a nu > rry andrew in a country fair . Honoured sir , you have been attacked in almost every uouceivabletorm . One party assailed you in an empty pretended philosophical style , while another lot « l canting , wneettlinff hypocrites , full of as much low cunning as satan , ha ' vellad their deceptive fling . Move us , sir , we dispise the unholy efforts of those just named , as much as we defy every brazen , barefaced , blustering bully , who chimes the same chorus . When , sir ,
wcconsider yon suffer all this , and rcii thousand times more than we can name , for the lofty and God-like purpose of alleviating the . suffering . of the whole human family , we cannot find words adequate to express our gratitude for your exalted virtues . Although , sir , we venerate every goud man , and would by no means tarnish the cliavavter <> l' modern patrots , nor bull y the memory of ancient ones : yet , sir , we recognise no name aiming the heroes of liberty , ancient or modern , past or pre .- ent , greater ... than that of Feargus O'Connor . That your valuable lii ' e may be long spared , and that you in ay for very many years witness vour efforts weanim a crown of
success in the prosperity , happiness , and freedom of our common country , is the sincere wish of The iMiiN of Harkslby . The address was unanimously carried in a crowded meeting , amidst the cheers of the assembled multitude Mr . O'Connor then rose , and as soon as the cheering , which his appearance called forth had subsided , he replied to the address , and then launched into the Laud question , and delivered the most eloquent and energetic discourses ever listened to in tiiis town . The honourable gentleman then made an appeal on behalf of Ilandloom Weavers of Knavesborough and the Chartist'Executivo , which was well responded to . '
BOLTON . Mr . Doyle delivered his second lecture here on the-Land question , on Tuesday . last . The Land Society meet every Sunday evening at four o ' clock . A Chaiitist Tka . Party was held here on Saturday last , and a very happy evening was passed by the friends of the good cause- present , on the occasion . ¦
SHEFFIELD . Mr . O ' -Cpnnor delivered an interesting and practrcal lecture on " Land and Co-operation , " in thfr large Ampitheatre , on Monday last ; Mr . Briggs in the chair . At the conclusion of the leeture the following resolution was moved by Mr . l ' ryer , seconded by Mr . Goodlad , and carried unanimously : — " That this meeting , after hearing the Chartist Co-operate ' Land plan expounded by Feargus O'Counor , Esq ., is of opinion that the obtaining of the Land is the only means of relieving the labour market of its present surplus hands , and thus placing the labourer in an independent position ; and this meeting likewise begs to return unqualified thanks to that gentleman for his honest and untiring exertions on behalf of the working classes . " Thanks having been given to the chairman the meeting broke up .
"WAKEF 1 ELD . On Monday evening the friends favourable to the Chartist Co-operative Land Society met in the large room of Mr . Lancaster ' s , when it was unanimously resolved to form a branch . Mr . Lancaster was appointed sub-treasurer , and Mr . Thomas j .. azcnby subsecretary ; after which deposits were paid im several shares . The next meeting will be hold on Monday evening , when all persons desirous of taking out shares can do so by attending . The attendance of the Horbury , Stanley , and Wrenthorp friends is desired .
GLASGOW . The Land Plak . —A meeting was held here' on Monday evening in Nelson-street Chapel , for the purpose of considering the propriety of joining the Chartist Co-operative Land Society . The meeting might be considered a good one . After a lengthy conversation as to the details of the plan , the unanimous feeling of the meeting was in favour of its adoption . Mr . Smith was appointed district secretary , and Mr .. John Cameron , boot and shoemaker , Crown-street , was appointed sub-treasurer . The secretary began the work of enrolment , and in a lew minutes upwards of fifty had given in their names , mostof whom , paid their first instalment . On ' the motion of Mr . Sherrington , seconded by Mr . Mann , it was agreed that the meeting should be held weekly , for the purpose of enroling members and receiving instalments ;
the next meeting to be held on Wednesday evening , August 13 tli _ , in the same place . On the motion of Mr . i'lann , it was agreed that each member pay a l « vy of one half penny per shilling per week , towards defraying local expenses . Tlie Land question has made extensive progress in Glasgow , as far as public opinion is concerned , and I have no doubt , notwithstanding the subject has been a little long in being lormally taken up , but that , with perseverance on the part of those who have now joined , the time ia not far distant when the roll-book shall present several hundred regular paying members . Su far as my experience enables me to judge , I find but one feeling as to the Land scheme ; and all the opposition that has been urged by selfish parties , instead of tiomg harm , has been the means of stimulating the friends to greater devotion to the cause . This is as it ought to be .

w Tub Blackbuun' MisBits . —The Broadfield and Belthom . colliers are still standing out against the bond submitted to them . They have bravely stood the contest - upwards of fifteen weeks , and are resolved not to yield . Only one man has gone to work , and signed the agreement , out of the men who were previously employed . The masters have tried every art to defeat the men . ' Intimidation and sophistry have been resorted to—but all to no purpose . A number of men were decoyed from Bentham , in Yorkshire , to work the pits ; eleven of them , when they arrived and found out how matters stood , refused to work . They were taken before the magistrates . Four were committed to the House of Correction ; but were released on a writ of habeas , corvus . Actions art
about to be entered against the committing magistrates for false imprisonment . Since then , tho masters have brought a number of men from Wales . Some of these have also left ; others are about to follow their example . On the 30 th ult ., another " dodge " was tried . A horse road , or stone drift , was to be let ; and at the letting plenty of " heavy wet" was to be given at the Brittania Inn , in Oswald-twistle '; but not one of the old hands attended , cither to take the road , or empty the barrels of the kind host . Consequently it was " no go ; " the road jvas not let . The agreement proposed to the men is of the most objectionable character . It is to break up the union ~ biwl the men for jit least one year to work for sucli "Slims asj-tKb masters shall think * proper to nive : am !
the men liable to be discharged without ' any notice whatever ! The bond is printed , with a number oi blanks left to be filled up , after lite men had signed ti . The men are determined to stand to the union so long as they caii » et any support . A brighter prospect dawns upon them . The trades of Blackburn are taking the matter up . The spinners and otliei trades have promised them support , which we hope will be followed by other trades throughout tiie kingdom . Let the working men at this time come to tlu help of these gallant fellows : they are deserving 0 ' support . The colliers belonging to the union should at once pour in their subscriptions . It is true they are heavily laid on . Tho scheme of their " masters " is to " ruin them with expenses ; " but it is honed
that the trades will not allow these men to be sacrificed for want of funds . A committee will sit at Mr . Norton ' s , Temperance Hotel , King-street , Blackburn , every . Wednesday , night . The Trade ' s are each of them requested to appoint one of their body to attend . Since writing the above , a messenger has arrived to say that the whole of the Welshmen have returned , twenty-eight in number , leaving only a small number to work the mines ; and these have not been accustomed to so narrow a scam . The thickness of the coal in the Belthorn pit is from fifteen to eighteen inches . The wages paid the men for the getting of one quarter , or twelve loads of coals .
was four shillings ; and out of this the men paid their drawers , or putters varying from five shillings and sixpence to seven shillings per week . They also found their own candles , powder , and tool ?; anil with this pittance the men would have remained satisfied . The coals at the pits arc sold at ten pence per load , or ten shillings per quarter . The men arc , and have been , quite willing to start work as they left off : but the masters will not permit this , unless the men bring in their I 3 nion cards , and sign the agreement . Several deputations have waited on the masters , but to no purpose . They say they are " determined to stand it out . "
