¦ W'll """ — [ CarJbUtdfrom •''< first ?« & . ) ioic ' r" ( loud and continued cheering ) I will now ii , t « niTicc . Mr . -M ' Grath of the Cfcsmat Executive and Land Directory to yoa . ( Renewed dice ; in ? . ) Mr . M'Gkjith on rising was loudly tliefied . Ik eongralnlatcd the people of Newtou on the splendid demonstration which they had made to-day in favour cf Chartism , combined with LaudUm . lie hoped tlvit the numerous meeting that assembled to-day at tie Tower , and the spirited and « nthus ! i » stic ono which lie now'had the honour to addi « s 3 , would result in gWKl to ihc people of Sewton particularly , and to the movement gc-aerally . He knew that the Denwcratic North would read in StitarJay ' s Star with
exultation the proceedings which have taken place Icre to-day . They wiil be cheered with the conviction that their countrymen iu the West aro instinct with the same pure spirit of liberty , wmrh actuates and animates themselves . ( Cheers . ) He ] o » ked to results as the truo index of the goud effected they had now in this little town 160 memliers ' m Ihc Land Society , what addition will tins day's proceedings make to ihat number ? he hoped toW ere many days passed over , that the present number isdouhled . ( Cheers . ) It such should KOtprove the casehe thought that the working men of this
, town would prove themselves criminally negligent of their bfStinterests . ( Hear . ) He thought that while they struggled for social improvement they should not neglect their politiesl emancipation . ( Cheers . ) 3 > y their own apathy and indifference they were now the veriest slaves that ever crouched at the footetoo ' C > f despotism . Mr . M'Grath hereentered intoaltieid Investigation of the political dsgradatfon of the toiling millions , and set forth by the most irrefutable argumentation the claims of the people to the immunities of freemen : when the speaker had concluded , the meeting rose simultaneously and cheered
for some minutes . Mr . O'Coraon was received with cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs that made the building ring . He said , Sir—This day ' s proceedings are to measourceof two-fold satisfaction and pride . Firstly , I think I may console myself after the transcendant speech you have just heardfrom the young gentleman on your left , Mr . M'Grath —( loud cheering )—with the cheering reflection , that when my lamp of life is burnt oat , when my thread isspun , that I leave behind me a staff well qualified to see my prineiplesrealized , my motives justified , and my cause triumphant ( Cheers . ) My next cause of comfort is , that I have
this day succeeded in breaking the charm and strength of party by uniting theagrieultural serf with the manufacturing slave—( great cheer . - )—aad believe me , sir , that this is taking one of the strongest props from faction , because it has ever been the practice to persuade thoEe two orders that they are two separate and distinct interests . ( Cheers . ) The landlords upholding their privileges by the force of THEIR slaves , and the manufacturers making battle with THEIR serfs . But now , sir , thanks be to God , we lave taken both from faction , and I have much hope from this glorious but tardr union . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connor then entered into an interesting narrative
of the Chartist movement , explaining the rariou « « nemies and opposition it bad to contend against , and asked if it was not a wonder that any man living ' above want , should dare to advocate the condemned principles . Be next entered into a most lucid and ¦ satisfactory exposition of the Land plan , and the capabilities of the soil . Apart . saidhe , from its durable effect , I will showyouthesecurityitpresentsto its members through the several stages , frem subscription , to location , and Us everlasting effect upon society atlarge . Firstly then ; when a sectionis full , and a ballot is about to take place , many meu will gladly give a bonus for the chance of a priz 2—that is , will
purchase a share for more than double the original amount—( cheers . ) A circumstance which injures no one , Inasmuch as it is matter of total indifference whether A or B shall have a share . Secondly . —If a member draws a prize he will be sure of 30 , 40 , or 50 pounds for the preference , when he shall be in a situation to dispose of his allotment , without detriment to individuals , or to the funds of the society—( cheers . ) Here , then , are two fascinating features , ^ wllich will be rarely if ever presented , as few will abandon now a chance of priority ; and I pledge myself , that once housed no man will relinquish his daim for any amount that can be teasonably offered
—( cheers . ) So much for the progress from membership to location , and now 1 will suppose the worst , the very worst , that could possibly happen—the failure , the utter failure of every single occupant . "Why , even then , theplanremainB , and I pledge myself , that not one allotment , if let by tender , would i-enisln nntonanted forty-eight ; houre —( cheers . ) jS " ay , more , I am now in a situation to judge , and I pledge my faith and knowledge that file Ilerringsgate Farm , if let on tender to-morrow , would let to sol-Tent , substantial tenants , without the respective premiums of £ 15 , £ 22 10 s , and £ 30 , for One Hund « -ed a vear more rent than the society will charge ;
and even more , much more than that , while each year ' s improvement will be a savings bank for labour cf which neither government , law , nor commercial failure can dispossess him—( loud cheers . ) Let me now remind you of a simple fact , which has cot yet « vc-n struck the members . I would , then , ask you , where asy twelve of you would turn to secure allotments cf two , three , or four acres , with suitable cottages and capital ? There is no such market for labour—there is no such hope , no such harbour for T < m . And now , allow me to show the interest that all classes of society have in its success . I
commence with the landlord-class , and I will even go so far : is tn admit tfkt the plan , if largely carried out , would benefit , them , by making their wholesale badly cultivated commodity , ' a retail article widely competed for—( cheers . ) I will admit the rise in the price of Land , and yet I care not what they charge ; ¦ with a iree-laboar market Land is worth any amount of rent , and its improvement becomes a savings bank for . the occupant , while its possess ! > n in perpetuity gives -Kim ... pride and insures him with love of industry . ( Loud- cheers . )
Thus tlie lnndlort's caBUOt Buffer , and now for the manufacturers , who ransack all the habitable globe for customers , and people islands asid coloniza deserts from home , in order that they may be better customers than at home . Three million pounds irom America , two million from Russia , and eo on in proportion , arc good annual returns for the produce »/ English slave labour , while some of our colonies are a dead loss to us . Wcll , j : ivcinc one million of : V « e Jabourers , with five to a family , and I wili guarantee an increase of £ 5 a head , or twenty-five
miljk-ns a year in British consumption . ( l-oud cheers . ) But £ » , they fear the effect upon the labour market ( Cissers)—and they know that their profits are inada up of the plunder of labour . Then for the . •¦ I : ^ keepers who vote for free traders —( Hear , hear ) v ,:: v of all classes , the ^ luipkeepers have the greatest interest In the success of and remuneration of labour . ( Cheers . ) They are the a » cnts between the producers and consumers , and , whether would one customer with £ 1000 a-year , or twenty customers with £ 50 a-vcar each , be bssi for iheir tills ? ( Cheers . ) The grand principle , tben , of the plan is , that we purchase land in the wholesale market , un shackled from the laws of primogeniture , of settlement aad entail , and let it in convenient portions iu the retail market at the wholesale price—( Ciiecre )—
with the protection and advantages that the rules of the society and the integrity of its officers hold out . ( Cheers . ) I have now expatiated at considerable length upon the merits of my youngest child , and I shall direct your attention to a consideration of the character of his eldest brother , to whom lie is tojook fur protection—Ilia Charter . ( Cheers . ) Mr . M'Grath has convinced me that the son and heir will find plenty of guardians and protectors fully capable of watching his minority and insuring his maturity—( loud cheers)—in fact , the transcendant speech that
hs has delivered , mainly upon the merits of the Chartut principle , would relieve me from the necessity of a single obserration if I . did not think that , like the Jamland its better cultivation , I couldfalso give yen an easy scale , a sort of ready reckoner , by which you could measure man ' s right to the suffrage . It is this-a woman of eighteen years of age , whether she be wise or foolish , whether she be a philosopher or an idiot , is qualified to ; be the head of all our churches , at will to controul all our institutions , to make war ana peace at her pleasure , to appoint her own minister * , to assent to or dissent from bills

passed by her wise , hereditary cousins , and her wellbelored Commons ; while the best education , best conduct , and greatest industry , docs not constitute ; i Voting qualification for the wisest man of t . ientj one years of age . ( Loud cheers . ) Noar , this is a i posi tive crime ; so that the Royal prerogative may be said to be based on crime . A man of twenty rears anil eleven months old cannot dispose of his property by will , but an infant » f eighteen , of thu weaker sex , can set us all by the ears , set nations fighting , and control the world . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Mr . O'Connor then entered at considerable length upon the policy ot faction , and the duty of
the people nt the next general election . He showed that it was by no means necessary to have a majority of members in the House of Commons to control the will of the Minister ; that ten staunch ; resolute members , standing beside Dnncombe —( tre " mendous cheering )—the people ' s only member . would snap to pieces Whig or Tory , when some fitting opportunity presented itself . ( Loud cheers . ) Governments were frequently lost or saved by lesB than twenty-four of a majority , or a minority ; and twelve votes count twenty-four when given against a Minister who presumed upon their support , or when pressed hard . ( This announcement appeared to give
great satisf ction and to create much surprise , ) You now sec , said Mr . O'Connor , that our position , if clearly understood , is not , after all , one of such great difficulty . Get twenty members , twenty Duncombes , —but they must bo Duneombes , —in the House of Commons , and faction ' s race is orer , and the day is our own . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) And oh ! what an out-door pressure we could bring to bear upon the malcontents through our little band of patriotic'members . ( Cheers . ) You have now heard my views ; you have heard my objects , my principles , my hopes , and my very thoughts ; but I am no ? capable of realising any of them without your
cooperation . ( Cheers . ) Instead of resting while lam working—instead of my exertion promoting your apathy , your language should be : Who is Feargus OConnor—what can he do for me ? And let the answer from one and all be— " NOTHING . We , and we only , can achieve our own redemption . " ( Loud cheers . ) Do this , the Land and the Charter will very sson be within your reach ; while I think that you have a greater guarantee for my stability and integ " rity than for that of any man living . ( Cheers . ) Not only because I love the democratic principle , and am sincere in my professions of political faith , but because I am one of a persecuted familv , with a
desire for vengeance for their sufferings rankling ' in my mind , and with a fixed and determined resolution to aid in the humiliation of a proud and tyrannical oligarchy , who were their oppressors and yours . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Yes , my friends , I have an uncle who next year will be in the fiftieth year of his banishment , whose only crime was devotion to his Catholic countrymen and the democratic principle , and I bad a father whom the bloody Castlereagh and his hellish vampire coadjutors hunted from prison to prigon charged with High Treason , until it was a boon to be allowed to be dragged from his dungeon to the PURE air of a
prison yard upon a hand-barrow , when tyranny had deprived him of the use of his lirata , but not of the love of his principles . ( Tremendous cheering and waving of hats . ) Well , then , as Hannibal to his father swore , I have solemnly vowed to seek vengeance for their oppression from every earthly tribunal , but it shall not be the vengeance of blood , as there is no sure foundation set in blood , but it will be the prouder , the purer , the holier vengeance , of pulling down their temple of tyranny , and establishing on its ruins a monument of freedom . ( Loud and continued applause and waving of hats followed the conclusion of Mr . O'Connor ' s address . )
Mr . O'Cosxor again rose to say that a persan upon the platform had asked him if a man could support his family upon two acres of land ; of course the meeting would not require him to go into the details of agriculture , but as a practical farmer he would say that he would much rather have two acres of land upon the society ' s terms than have 50 s , a week guaranteed to him for the easiest work . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr . M'Ghatii then rose to propose a vote of thanks to the Chairman , which Mr . O'Connor seconded in a highly complimentary speech , expressing a hope tfcat the men of Devonshire would mark him ns one of labour ' s representatives in the next parliament , assuring the meeting , amid reiterated cheers , tbat the manufacturing operatives of the north would support the agriculturist champion in the west .
Mr . Wilkinson briefly returned thanks , declaring that that was the proudest day of his life , and that the men of Devonshire owed the two gentlemen who had so pre-eminently enlightened them , a great debt of gratitude . The meeting then separated in the highest spirit and best humour , Giving three cheers for the land and the Charter , three for Duncombe , three for the Chairman , O'Connor and jM'Gratb , and three and one cheer more for Frost , Williams and Jones ; and thus ended the glorious ceremony of joining together in holy wedlock the manufacturing operatives of the north and the agricultural labourers of the west , and those that God has joined together let no man put asunder .

From INDIA AND CHINA letters and papers have been received by oxtraor * dinary express , in consequence of a special steamer having been dispatched with Sir George Arthur , Governor of Bombay , who returns to this country in a hopeless state of illness . We have by this conveyance , dispatches and commercial news from Calcutta to the 18 th of July , and from Bombay to the 6 th of August . The chief political news is , that the spirit of dissatisfaction with the Government at Lahore , of the Queen-Mother , and of Wuzer Lall Singh , threatens to explode in acts of violence . The notorious fanatics , culled the Akhalees , were collecting in the neighbourhood , of that capital , and fears were
entertained of their commencing a Woody strwffgle . The months of September and October have been often a signal for butcheries amongst the Seikhs . Ghoohib Singh is surrounded with difficulties in his new kingdom . Some of his own relatives are clamorous for paymmt of his brother ' s legacies to them . The Chief of Mooltan was not disposed to yield obedience to the Government of Lahore , and a contest was expected in the- southern part of the l ' unjaub , in which tiie British will be compelled to interfere . Tiie Arabs , it appears , made an attack on aorac of the grounds near Aden on the IHhoihat month , but were repulsed with a loss of seven killed , and a considerable number wounded . The cholera has broken out at Hyderabad , where eight hundred had died on the first day . What dying of cholera in India is , following extract from the Bombay Times illustrates ; it also illustrates the glory of a BoldierV life : —
" Who shall depict the scenes m the hospitals * I speak more of the Fusiliers , because of that I saw much ; every cot was filled—delirium here , death there : the fearful shrieks of pain and anguish . Men whom you had seen but a short time before hale and strong , were rolling in at every door crowding every space—countenances so full o misery—eyes sunken and glaring , shrivelled am blackened cheeks . Thi 3 , too , the work of five short minutes or less ! So sudden was death with some that they were sewed , cramped , collapsed , dead , almost as last as I have written the words . Previous health and strength were no guarantees ; men attending the burials of their comrades were attacked , borno to the hospital , and buried themselves the next morning . Pits were dag in the churchyard morning and evening : sewn up in their beddings , coffinless , they were laid side by side , one service reid overall . " By advices from the
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE , weleavn that there has been another engagement between the Caffres and the English forces , under Colonial H " . Somerset , in which the former were defeated with ereafc lose , 200 of the enemy being left dead on the field . Our loss was trifling , amounting only to two killed and 16 wounded . Particulars will be found in our seventh page . The war is yet far from its termination ; the tribes in the interior , to the N . and N . E . of the colony are all rising . A large body of the tribes was said to bo advancing against Fort Peddie , after the capture of which they intended to move with an overwhelming force into the colony . From the
WEST INDIES we have a very imperfect account , or rather mere notice of a strike for wages on the part of the native labourers , { formerly the slaves ) . Thus it will be seen that the " slavery of wages" has become the substitute for the " slavery of the whip" in our " emancipated " colony ; as yet , however , the black worker is in an infinitely superior situation to his white brother : unlike the Isirmingham artizan or the Manchester factory worker , he is not wholly dependent upon a master's pleasure . The black worker has a portion of the soil , usually sufficient for his own sustenance , and therefore he is enabled to demand and enforce the conditions on which he will devote a portion of his time to the cultivation of the estate of his employer . Let the English working men think of this , and struggle to get themselves " emancipated . " Turning to Foreign Affairs , the most interesting intelligence this week from FRANCE is that relating to the anticipated famine , and the mysterious incendiary fires at present desolating a considerable portion of that country . In our seveuth page will be found some revelations of the progress of both those scourges , calculated to excite serious apprehensions of social disturbances , which very often , as history records , are followed by political convulsions . Rothschild , Louis-Philippe , Guizot and Co . may find their anticipated lease of power considerably shortened . John Bull is said to be an unruly animal when hia belly pinches , but the Trench people , habituated to powder and ball , and haying served a long apprenticeship to revolution-making , will be found more unmanageable . They will never die quietly , as in Ireland , satisfied with " holy unction" and a " moral force" prayer . There is no lack of humbugs in France , but happily there is
no one charlatan with the influence of the Irish Mokanna , therefore the people will not be deluded into submissiveness to a state of misery , caused not so much by the unfruitfulness of nature as by the villainous plunderings of the idle non-producers . There is , and is likely to be , plenty to cat in France provided it was equally , or rather justly apportioned to tliose who produce ail . When that stock fails , the poor may then eat the rich , the r ich have Jong fed upon the poor . The Chamber of Deputies has adjourned after a short session of eighteen days . It is not true that the " Address" was voted •' unanimously , " in point of fact only 231 votes were recerded , the opposition en masse retraining from taking part in the vote . On Friday both Chambers were prorogued to the 1 lth of January , 1847 . The statement given by several journals of the severe illness of Beranger the French poet is , we are happy to statewithout foundation .
, It appears that in congratulating ourselves last week that there was at last an end to the disputes respecting the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN , we were somewhat premature ; the announcement af the intended marriage of herself and sister having on she contrary set the newspaper { press of Europe in a blaze . Columns upon columns of editorial outpourings , Spanish , French , and English on this question , are before us , which to wade through may be fairly pronounced an herculean task . Amidst a mass of rubbish , there arc nevertheless some facts worthy of record as illuminating the evils of monarchy , and the views held by the Spaniards themselves as regards this arrangement . Some of the letters from Madrid
contain astounding disclosures of the revolting means employed to fo rce this double marriage . The miserable girl called "' Queen" was coerced into this arrangement by the most villainous means . The Queen it appears has a natural distaste for her intended husband , which distaste has been heightened by the tivowed hatred of her mother towards him , yet njw , to propitiate Louis Philippe , thk infamous mother compels her child to marry a man whom she has taught to loathe . It was with tears in her eyes , and her bosom heaving with sobs , that she was forced to plight her troth to him . It is even said that certain arguments were used —by some of the corrupt and antiquated , but still licentious , spirits that glfiat over the visions of past
sensuality , and still haunt the scone of the debauchery of ten or twelve years since , —arguments that ono hesitates to refer to more particularly—in order to excite the imagination of the child , and induce her to accept the new candidate proposed by M . Bresson . On her consent being wrung from her M . Bresson was in a moment on the spot , and , profiting by the occasion , he formally demanded the hand of the Infanta for the Duke of Montncnsier . It was agreed to ; and in an hour or two afterwards , a courier was on his way to the capital of Franco . Let us now see how tliis double " sale" has been received by the Spanish people . With ono exception , the Ikmldo , every Madrid paper has denounced the intended marriage of the Infanta with the Duke
de Montpensicr . John Bull in the height of his " Church aud King" insanity , never hated Frenchmen nisro heartily than they arc detested by their neighbours , the Spaniards ; and in truth , Spaniards have suffered too much at the hand of the French governments , to entertain anything approaching " to fraternal sympathies for their friends on the Gallic side of the Pyrencss . Against this French alliance , or rather French domination , all parties , but the Ciinjarilla , combine . Progressistas , Carlists , the mo 3 t important section of the Modcrados , appear £ determiucd to oppose this intended mama « o to " the dcutfi . With regard to the popular
feelingllirougliout Spain , the following extract from an article in ElEspccUidor seems to exactly express it : — "These are considerations which prohibit Mont pensier from ascending the throne of Spain . In his character of Frenchman the War of independence , forbids it ; in his character of Bourbon the liberticido intervention of 1 S 23 ; in , his character of Orleans , the promises made to the emigrants in 1830 turned into derision , the failure of ful ' tiliKent of the Quadruple Treaty , the dubious conduct ot'Jiis father ' s Government throughout the Carlist war , and the support which that father ' s Government has afforded to the tyrant of our country—all these considerations prevent Montjicnfiier from aspiring to tho throne of Spain . "
Illustrations of tho feelings , above expressed we might multiply to almost to any extent . The suppression of tkis feeling is to he attempted by the most arbitrary means . Already several of fclie Madrid journals have been seized for protesting against this marriage ; Af . Bresson declares that " wiiafc he has obtained by the pen , his Government will defend with the sword ; " and . lastly , Narvaes is to fcilco the place of Isturife as President of tJie Council of Ministers . He is on his way to Madrid , to strangle , shoot , or banish all who oppose his master , the French " Traitor of the Barricades . " In tiie meantime popular excitement increases . The foulest epithets nro made use of against Lohis-Philippe , Guizot , Brtason , . MojitKCLgjer , Maria

Punishments in Aweria . — -At Algiers , when any one had to complain of the Cadi ' s judgment , or when the adverse party would not submit to the decision , the complainant went to the Cosbah , seized with both hands a bell chain hanging at the gate , and rang with all his might . An officer then appeared , to whom he related his case . A message was sent to the Cadi , inquiring into the correctness of the statement mnde by the plantiff , to whom was rendered whatever justice appeared due to him . On the contrary , if the plaintiff was found to be in the wrong , he was bastinadoed with some hundred bfovta on the soles of his feet , and was besides compelled to undergo all the consequences of the judgment of which he complained . When the question related to a criminal affair , the
JDey sent the culprit to the Ags , who caused the sentence to be executed iortlmith . The punishments inflicted on criminals were barbarously Eevere . The slightest offence against the Government was punished by the bastinado , which was administered not only on the soles of the feet , but also on the belly and tha back . From thirty t » twelve hundred blows were given , according to the nature of the offence . Two men , each armed with a piece of flexible wood , as thick a 3 an ordinary cane , alternately struck the culprit , who ^ as Jaid ' on a sort o ! bench , with his legs and his arms tied . Even when the criminal sometimes expired under this punishment , the executioneers continued to strike , until they had completed the number of blows specified by the sentence . Persons condemned to death were
decapitated with the axe or the yatagan ; hanged ; impaled ; burned alive ; or thrown upon great iron hooks at the gate of Ba-Azoun , on which they remained impaled for several days , until they died of hunger in tJie % ost horrible sufferings . Mr . R told me that having onee visited Algiers before the occupation by the French , he saw a-man who had remained alive three days on these hooks , and that he certainly would have lived longer , had not a Janissary , either from humanity or to show his dexterity to the assembled multitude , blown out his brains with a pistol shot . Sometimes the relatives of the persons condemned to this horrid punishment gave a certain sum of money to the executioneer to strangle the victim before he threw him over the wall . —Count St . Marie's Algeria in 1845 .

Sinclair , that death was the result of a disease of the heart , with which the deceased had been effected fourteen years , and that nothing had been found in the stomach which could have caused death .

warns oi ttiirty valuable cows , belonging to tlie Crown und Prince Albert , which have recently died , after being attacked with the prevailing disease , which is raging to an alarming extent amongst the horned cattle , a large number of Scotch beasts , in the Great l ' avk , have also been similar ! / attained . No lesJ than seventeen Scotch cattle have fallen victims to the epidenlic up to Friday . It appears , from all accounts which have been seen , that the disease first broke out in the north ; manifesting itself at an earl y period in the spring , in Perth and its vicinity . It my be considered as a wry envious fact , tliafc although there are cattle from ' various parts of ' tho Kingdom ( from Herefordshire and Devonshire , for instance , ) all grazing together in the Great Park at Windsor , the only description of beast which have been attacked arc tliose which were bread in
Scotland , The others , ns we learn at present , have entirely escaped . From this it would appear , notwithstanding the various and conflicting , opinions which have been hazarded upon the subject , that the disease is not of a contagious character , but that it is confined to certain peculiar descriptions of cattle from certain districts of the north . lie this as it may , it was remarked a short time since by Gen . Weinygs ( the manngtir of Prince Albert ' s farm ) , that upon a large farm in Scotland the whole of tho cattle iu one range of sheds were affected by the disease , while in another range of sheds , but a very short distance removed from tlie former , tho cattle remained in the most healthy state .
