jft Bets Ebiesds , Yickerbocker has an admirable conceit about one J caffion , * prince ttat ^ as wry tender of the ^^ of his subjects . He never taxed them until kie was an absolute necessity for doing so , and 6 e gcanUness of Ins Exchequer roused the cupidity f a vatfAouAiing prince . This covetous man t ambassadors to Ducallion ' s court to discover he state of Ws finances before making war upon jj , for , having heard much of his poverty , . his
rra 5 ping neighbour anticipated' an easy triumph , [¦ he ambassadors were freely admitted to an iuspecionof the Treasury , and finding it empty became jjnghty , dealt some threats of invasion of ri jKjllion ' s territory b y their master . Ducaltion , ioth simple good humour , prevailed upon them , lO wever , to stop for the night . He sent his officers unongst his people whfle the ministers of his jealous ind greedy nei ghbour were asleep . The officers portioned the danger to which an empty Exchequer sas likely to reduce their country and their beloved p rince . The answer of one and all was prompt nnd
jberaL They were never called upon to pay taxes aC ept when there was an absolute necessity , and ifhen the ministers of the bad man were about to lake a pompous leave of the mild Dncallion , he remestrf ^ em to take another peep at the Treasury , ' jnd which , * to their surprise and mortification , they found filled with the smews of war . Their haughty aiide , and insolence , and daring , was , as if by magic , gauged into wonder and subserviency , whereupon he good king said to the bad kiug ' s tools , " There , 50 ask yonr master what chance the invader can iave against hearts that are so generons as those of
ay subjects . Behold the produce of a ni g ht ! - Now , my friends , I use this fable as an illustration if my present position . I have not only refused ayment for my services , but , as long as I was able to ifford it , I refused the repayment of monies exleudedforyou , It would be very idle to recapinlaie the amount of money that the independence tnd valour of high spirited gentlemen has cost me ; a scrap of George White ' s , ( for which I do not blame um , bnt the editor , ) cost me nearly £ 400 ; while the several other effusions of hi g h spirited gentlemen bare cost me a much larger sum . The trial of 9 'GonnelI against O'Connor , which came off pesterday ( Wednesday ) , in the Court of Common Pleas , is a model of English justice . I beg of yon to read the quibbling , quirking , mean ,
injust and damning manner in which the Whi g ubief Justice ( Sir Thomas Wilde ) sent the most unple apology to a special jury . Wilde never forgave ne , nor never will forgive me , and I never wish him to forgive me , for the true character I gave of Ms speech and bloodthirsty bearing atMonmouth , while prosecuting Frost . Observe , I do not come to this conclusion upon his charge delivered on Wednesday , because on Monday night , in consultation with Sergeant Wflkins and Mr . Wilde ' s nephew , who was jdv junior Counsel , and xay solicitor , when I was assured of success beyond a doubt , I asked , "Who ts lifcely to be the Judge ? " and upon hearing it was Chief Justice Wilde , I exclaimed , "Then , pardon me , Mr . Wilde , but it ' s all sp . Don ' t be angry , for Judges , like other men , have their feelings and prejudices , and he hates me raost Telimonsly . "
Aow , tnen , I have no hesitation whatever in saying , that the verdict was the Jadge ' s verdict , against law , against evidence , and against fact What are She facts ? Mr . Hobson , at the time of the libet , ras my sab-editor ; immediately upon reading the libel , and without a single word of notice from , « r rommumcation with , Mr . WHSam John O'ConneQ , [ wrote die following apology ;—" Sir . —I have for some weeksback noticed a kind Df running fire about your conduct in the Northern
Star newspaper . As soon as I saw a very uncalled for and unprovoked attack npon you in the columns of that paper , I made enquiries jw to the source from Thence those charges came , and as I emp . ' oy a reporter , exrfusirely for communicating tbe proceedings at repeal meetings , I resolved on discharging my present correspondent from that office , if he had commenced its undertaking by what I considered a Terr unjustifiable attack npoa private character . X { earned , however , that he was la so way connected niih the slander in question .
" 1 now think ita duty to my eeantry , to you , and to myself , to state , in confirmation of what I understand you hxre asserted at a subsequent meeting , ihxt not only was the report ia question inserted without my knowledge , bat that , farther , the moment I perused it , I communicated my strong disapprobation of it to the Editor . I may further add , that what is slanderous and spiteful in the communication 1 TriioIIy disbelieve , while whatmaybetrneis many a good raatfs case . I trust , Sir , that neither I , nor the
Aonfcrn Star , snail ever be made toe instruments ofveakeningwhatever power yonmay have to organize Irish hatred against English oligarchical misrule , ¦ ffhii ' e you must prepare yourself , while engaged in snen an undertaking , for the criticism-of friends , as well as the unmerited slander if foes . Trusting that this explanation will be the more acceptable , for being a voluntary correction of what 1 believe to lave been a gratuitous and unmerited falsehood , " I remain , Sir , yonr obedient servant . "Fkarods O'Cosnor . "
Instead of inserting the above apology in due course , it was reserved for a week at the office , and accompanied by a note of Mr . Hobson ' s , which CMtf-Justiee Wilde , according to the Morning Qmriick , sent to the Jury as my apology . How-• rer , as I expected , there was a verdict against me , for- £ 50 , and Ihe costs of both sides , of course . This feet compels me to ask for my own . Yon owe me a balance of £ 225 on the Defence Fund . Like Ducallion , I refused to receive even that nntil it became indispensably necessary . My accounts are
notlikeMr . O'Cohnell ' s . I have not 73 , 000 vou-j there , but I have an Attorney ' s Bill of Costs of ; £ 569 , of which no item is charged in the settle- j Bent , which I repnblish at foot from the Star of i the 8 tb of July , 1843 . Of the items paid up to that j time , but not contained in the Bill of Costs for j Cooper ' s trial , White ' s trials , and the Lancaster Srial , for tbe professional services of Messrs .

I believe I have only to say that it is needed to insure its repayment , and therefore 1 trnst tlat arrangements will be made for its discharge , asit is hard that the O'Conneil paupers should

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS , Dec . 2 . ( Sittings at Nisi Prios in Middlesex , before Chief Justice Wilde and a Special Jury . ) O ' CONNKIX C . ©'¦ CONNOR AND ANOTHER . For the plaintiff , Mr . Sergeant Dowling and Mr . Percival Batiks ; far the defendants , Mr . Sergeant "Wilkins and Mr . Henry Wilde . Mr . Banks opened the pleadings . It was an action for libel , m which William John O'Conneil was plaintiff , and Feargus O ' Connor and Joshua Hobson , the one the registered proprietor , and the
other printer and publisher , of the Nertnern Star and Leeds Generml Advertiser s were defendants . The libel was set forth in tbe declaration , and to this the defendants had pleaded , under the shadow of Lord Camphelfs set , an apology , asd the payment of money ( £ 5 ) into court ; the plaintiff had replied , under the same statute , to tbe effect , in -common language , both were insufficient , and that he ought not to be tarred from farther maintaining 3 iis action . On this issue was joined , and so it came before the jury .
There was a question raised as to the rig ht to begin by Sergeant Wilkins , but his lordship decided £ hat clearly the ri ght was in the plaintiff ' s counsel . Mr . Sergeant Dowling then stated the ease , and read the libel , -which raa as follows : — " Oae of the reasons why the LondoB repealers object to the paysent ( which has called forth the conduct complained of ) of W . J . O'Conneil is , that he is compelled to be oat of the way all the week , fearing an arrest , and can onlv he seen out oa Sundays . He has been living with a lady of the same of Moss , who entrusted him with " money to pay bills , to the tune of £ 289 or £ 300 , and he , instead of paying the bills , otherwise employed the cask . She wishes to arrest
him , ia the hope that the Association wiu pay the money to save him from disgrace . All this he publicly acknowledged at the St . George ' s Ward , and ] taunted Mr . Dwaine with knowing his embarrass-] ments and wishing to increase them . He also j boasted tbat Mr . O'Conneil would pay the sum for i Lira , but he was too proud to ask him . < He stated , last Sunday that if twelve wards declared against ' him , he would immediately close them all . " The > learned sergeant then dwelt with great force upon
: the peculiar positiveness and circumstantiality of the i libel . I Mr . Sergeant Wilkins argued that the apology : made was " sufficient , and so was the £ 5 paid into ! court , and that the reparation was complete . The I apology was in the following terms : — " Respecting I this matter , we have only to say that the reports > spoken of in the above communication were for * warded by a party who has long been known as a consistent and truthful advocate of public liberty ; that they detailed conduct on the part of Mr . W . J . O'Conneil towards his brother associates , which ,
\ : if true , was utterly indefensible , being an arrogant : attempt to stifle discussion , and prevent even the ! freedom of thought ; that we did not view the par-! ticular statement complained of in anything like the : light in which it has been viewed ; that we did not i consider that tbe party making the statement had any intention even to impute improper connection : between the parties ; that the one other fact com-1 plained of had been adduced by W . J . O'Conneil himself as a sort of reason for the imputed arbitrary | conduct ; that we have inserted every wOfdofeSt-1 p lanation and justification tbat has been forwarded ;
> that our intention has not been to cause ill-feeling or division between tbe parties to the recent dispute , which , it must be borne ia mind , arose amongst themselves ; that we will never interfere for such a purpose , while we never will witness a violation of all right and all princip le on tbe part of an advocate of liberty , without administering the effective castieation of publicity , and that it has not yet appeared
to us that Mr . W . J . O'Conneil was justified m depriving 2 , 000 associated repealers of the rights of associationsbip on the grounds set forth . If those grounds were not thetrue ones , we shall be happy to be better informed . —Ed . N . S . " It appeared from the record that the libel was published on the 3 rd of August , 1844 . The action was commenced in the subsequent JJovember , but in consequence of the impossibility of serving Feargus O'Connor , the declaration only bore date on the 7 th of January ,
1845 . G . Fial , a clerk to Tates and Turner , the defendants * solicitors , put in some documents and newspapers ; the latter , by the bye , in an utterly loose and illegal way , but which the counsel for the plaintiff did not think it worth their while to persist in objecting to . It was clear that tbe volume of the JVbrtfiernSfur in which the particular papers referred to were inserted was genuine , and had not been printed for the purpose ; but the precedent of admitting them in this manner , under such high authority , may peradventure hereafter prove embarrassing . Thomas Dudley Redding was called to depose to a conversation with Mr . O'Conneil , the plaintiff , after O'Connor ' s apology had been published , and he stated that O'Conneil told him that he knew
O'Connor would not himself abuse him , as he was too much a gentleman , and tbat he felt grateful for the ample apology . Mr . Serjeant Dowling then replied , and his lordship summed up , telling the jury t o say if tbe recantation in the so-called apology was a straightfor-

ward , frank , and manly one , and met all the distinct allegation in the libel ; or whether it was a shanj and equivocating document ; and also whether the £ 5 paid into court as damages were sufficient . The jury , after a short consultation in the box , found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages £ 50 , in * eluding the £ h paid into court .

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CORN LAWS , On Wednesday afternoon , a deputation from the citizens ofLnivdon waited , by appointment at tbe Uome-office , on the Right lion , sir George Grey , Bart ., her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for the Homo Department , for the purpose of presenting , throug h the Right Hon . Baronet , a memorial to he- Majesty , praying that her Majesty will be graciously pjeasec to cause the ports to be opened for the admission of foreign corn , dut y free , with a view to provide for tuo distress of the people . Mr . Cuarlks Cociiranb adverted to tbe letter of Lord John Russell , addressed to the electors of London ; in Novemberlast yearin which the abolition
, , of all duties on corn was recommended in most , earnest terms . He concluded by expressing the regret and disappointment of the memorialists , that Lord J . Russell thought fit to act now that he was in office-entirely in opposition to the opinions he had expressed and the advice he had given when but of office . In consequence of this inconsistency on the part of the noble head of the Administration , the memoralists had lost all confidence in his Lordship , and therefore-instead of presenting the memorial to him , they bad resolved on presenting it to her most gracious Majesty . Mr . Cochrane then handed the document to Sir George Grey , after making a few apologistic remarks .
Sir George Gret—I assure the deputation that there is not the slightest necessity for any apology for speaking their sentiments freely and frankly . There is not a word in the memorial for which there is any ground to complain . It is worded with the greatest propriety . With regard to what passed between Lord John Russell , and th ^ formerdeputations , I cannot say anything , not having been present ; but I am sure that no minister would have a right to complain of a free and unreserved expression of the sentiment * of those who appointed them—it is an undoubted right which the people have . Mr . Cochrank—We are still left in the dark as to whafcis meant by an " extraordinary neeessity , " nnd therefore Ministers must be responsible for the course which we adopt in endeavouring to make out the "extraordinary necessity" of which the Prims Minister speaks .
Sir George Gbkt—I cannot undertake to say what Lord John Russell meant by th « words , not having been present when they were spoken , but 1 presume he means , that certain statistical facts respecting the condition of the -country would alone constitute the necessity to which he refers . I am quite sure that he would not consider public meetings , however numerously attended they might be , as constituting any such , " necessity . " I can soy for myself , as a Minister of tbe Grown , that 1 would aot . A . certain class of statistical facts , bearing on the condition and the circumstances of the country , would alone , in my view of the matter , justify me , as a Member of the Government , in tendering my advice to her Majesty to throw open the ports . iBut though -I cannot promise to support the pra ;« r ot * your memorial , I shall have great pleasure in presenting dt to her Majesty , 3 s expressive of the feelings nnd sentiments of last portion of the citisena of London by whom it was adopted . The "deputation then withdrew .

Dreadfcl Fire and Supposed Loss of Life . — On Wednesday morning , between the hours of twelve and one a fire of a most fearful character , by which it is sappesed one or two persons' lost their iives , broke out at 31 , Ualcraft-terrace , New-cut , Lambeth , known as the Exhibition of Nature and Art , the property of a Mr . Fergusson . From inquiries made during the : fire , the reporter learned from the proprietor of the establishment that whilst he and one or two parties were sitting in the front kitchen partaking of a glass of rum and water , they were suddenly alarmed at hearing a loud crackling noise proceeding from the exhibition room . Upon getting to the top of the staircase they found tfiat the exhibition was wrapped in one broad sheet of flame , and numerous figures were blazing away with
the greatest impetuosity , rAn instant cry of" Fire !' was raised by Mr . Furgusson , in order to arouse the other inmates of the place ; but whilst he . was endeavouring to do so , the flames made such progress , that it was with the greatest difficulty that any one could escape . As it was , the persona in the lower floor were severely singed in getting out . In the course of a few minutes , the brigade engine from Waterloo-road was at the scene , followed immediately afterwards by the West of England firemen and engine . At that period the flames had broken through the front window-shutters , and they were rapidly extending themselves to the upper floors . Without delay the engines were set to work , from an abundant supply of water furnished by the Lambeth Company . The exhibition being of so inflammable a character , the figures being composed principally of wax , the flames rose with such rapidity , that
before a drop of water could be discharged into the place the " building became fired from the ground-floor to the roof . By strenous exertions on the part of the firemen , the flames were got down by halt-past one , but not until the exhibition of wax-work figures , the living serpents , and monke ) s were destroyed . The cries of . the latter animals , on the flames reaching them were of the most agonizing character , The whole of the furniture in the upper flours is likewise consumed . Mr . Fergusson assured the reporter that he was fearful a daughter of his housekeeper had perished in tbe flames , but ho was quite certain that a female dwarf , named Robertson , had been burnt to death . He stated that she was sleeping in the back room third floor , and had not the least possibility of effecting her escape . How the fire originated cannot be ascertained . Mr . Fergusson estimates the loss of his collection alone at upwards of £ 1000 .
, From subsequent inquiries it was correctly ascertained that a young woman , a daughter of Mr . Fergusson ' a housekeeper , had not perished in the fire , as it was at one time feared . Mary Ann Robertson , the dwarf , however , was found about four o clock , at the top of the building , burnt almost as black as a coal . Her remains were found b y Barrow , the deputy foreman of the West of England firemen , lying on a portion of a bed on which she generally slept . Her head and feet were nearly destroyed , and her trunk was frightfully charred . The exhibition was valued at upwards of £ 1 , 000 , it contained 400 fulllength figures of celebrated characters , from kings to malefactors . In the first floor there was a beautiful self-performing seraphitie , valued at £ 140 , an organ that coat £ 100 , two smaller ditto , and a . couple of
pianofortes . There were MO sovereigns in the same place , all of which fell a prey te the fury of the fire . It is , however , expected , that the money will be found in the ruins , and up to Wednesday evening the firemen had been successful in recovering between twenty and thirty sovereigns . Besides the destruction of the above property , an Egyptian mummy , 4 , 000 years in preservation , was consumed , and a large valuable serpent . Whilst the firemen were searching-the ruins , they found a Jarge monkey , which , to save his life , had wrapped itself up in a piece of green baize , by that means it escaped suffocation . Mr . Fergusson , who has been such a serious lesei ; , was not insured for a single penny . The adjoining buildings ' were damaged by . fire and water , but not to any great extent . Suicide through Distress . —A p » or ] destitute man , three-score years of age , named Taylor , formerly of Dodworth , near Burnley , a hatter by trade , committed suicide in a warehouse at the Darleymain colliery , on Monday night last , by hanging himself .

DEATH FROM STARVATION . , On Wednesday , a protracted inreatigation ( ad-J ourned from Friday last ) was resumed before Mr . Mills , Deputy Coroner , respecting the death of Louisa ; . . Mandant , aged 33 . a distressed needlewoman . .. . - , " : ¦ .. ' Mary Ann Mandant , the sister of the deceased , was then called in and sworn . ( Her dreadfully forelorn and emaciated appearance excited the commisseration . of all present . ) She said . I resided at 93 , Orawtord-Btreet , with my mother and my deceased sister , who . was a needlewoman , but unable to work , I am 36 years of age , ( she looked 60 ) , and am also a needlewoman , when lean get work to do . My sister died on the 18 th of November , at eleven o ' clock in the mormnp . I left her in bed that morning with spasms of the stomach , and went to work at some urniiure
pea * ,-in Salisbury mews , and when" I came back . Mra . Bryant , s . lodger , said she was dead . My sister has been , incapable to do work , and except very little , and my mother and her were wholly dependant on my earnings , besides half-a-crown my mother received from the parish . < We lived together in the top room , for which we paid 2 s . 3 d . per week , leaving only 3 d . out of the half-crown . Mr . R . D . Harling examined . : I made a postmortem examination of the deceased ' s body thirty hours after ; death . Externally the body exhibited all the appearances of marked emaciation . The medical gentleman here proceeded to detail his interior examination , and described the intestines as being completely shrivelled up for want ot nourishment , lie then observed the stomach was empty , with the exception of a portion of faeces about the size of a split pea . . This was the only vestige of solid food found in the whole extent of intestinal organs ; The Coroner . —Then , do you say that she died from
actual starvation ? , Witness , —Yes , that is Ihe case . The epasmodit contraction was caused from the absence of food . Dr . M'Intyre was present at the post mortem examination , and entirely agreed with me . Mary Mandant recalled . —Before we came to live in Crawford-street , we lived in Salisbury-street . We were in want of food and clothing at that time . When I first applied to Mr . Messer for relief at tbe workhouse , I asked him if be would relieve me , as I was out of work , and he said he could not relieve such young people . I then asked him for a loaf of bread , as 1 had nothing to eat or drink , and he gave me a loaf of bread . I at the same told him my
sister and mother were without food , and' he . replied "There was the workhouse ,. he could do nothing more for us , as my mother was a pensioner on tbe books . " No one visited us at Crawford-street from the parish . I then went to the workhouse and got a loaf of bread every Tuesday for about seven weeks , but no money . On each occasion I mentioned tha my mother and sister were in want of food , but all the answer I got was , that ire must come in , although I urged that 1 wanted a little relief for myself and 3 isterout , as my mother was not fit to be left by herself . Air . Tackwood once vUited us in Seymourplace , and seeing that we were without food , firing , and clothing , wanted us to go into the house , but would sooner go miles away than do so ,
By the Coroner , —I believe that ray deceased sister has been without sufficient food and clothing for the last three mouths . I myself have been so , and people have wondered how we could keep life in us . We have lived -ckiefly on tea and bread and butter . We have not tested meat for days and days together —not once a week . No one has visited us from the parish since tie last inquest , but we have had food given to us by our landlord . The Jury then retired , and after aa absence of about half an hour returned , and the foreman-delivered the following as their verdict : — . " The Jurors in the case of Louisa Mandant unanimously agree that her death was caused from the want of the common necessaries of life . Th ; it the Jury regret tbat the officers of the parish of St . Marylebone have not lione their duty , in scrutinising the necessities of the destitute poor . ¦ ¦ •
The Coroner accorded in the observations of the Jury , and expressed his conviction that the coming winter would render additional caution on the part of parishes , as to the wants of the poor , exceedingly necessary . ¦¦ ¦•¦¦ .

X- ' - " ACCIBKNT OH ? HB SoUTH-EiSTEEN RAILWAY . —On Wednesday weBing , between the hours of nine and ten , an accident of a moat remarkable character , but which was fortunately unattended with loss of life , took plaee an the South-Eastern Railway , between the New Cross station and the Londonbridge terminus . It appearo that at the time before stated the servants of the company were alarmed at seeing an engine and tender proceeding up the line , at a rao-t furious speed , and as no whistle was sounded , they became apprehensive that something had happened to the driver of what they believed to be the train from Brighton to Dover . The signal of danger , was exhibited , but there being no one on the engine to shut off the steam , It dashed at a furious rate against the breaks at the end of the ptation , and smashed the springs , while the engine
and tender were completely destroyed . The shock was so great that a portion of the wall of the parcels office was knocked down , the gas extinguished , and one of the horse boxes nearly destroyed . Several persons who stood on the platiurm had a narrow escape of losing their Jives from the burning coke and hot water , which were scattered on all sideB . As soon as the smoke and dust had cleared away , the engine and tender were seen doub'ed up , and reduced to a mis-shapen mass , tbe head of the tender being lifted up and forced into the stone work or windows of the station . Work * men were employed to clear the wreok ; but , owing to the great weight , it was expected that it could not be effected for several hours . The engine , it appears , started from New Cross ; but how the steam was turned on , has not bean ascertained .
We may here add that an accident of a fearful nature occurred on Wednesday morning on this railway to a poor aged fellow , named Gait , employed as a labourer between the Annerlcy and S jdonham stations . He was at work on the line when the fast atmospheric train came up , which knocked him down , and so dreadfully fractu . ed one of his logs that his life is in the greatest danger . Tns Dis » rjisBD Thieves . —At the Central Criminal Court , on Thursday , William Anderson and John Sullivan , were jointly indicted for stealing a gold pin , value 4 s . 6 d . the property of Mr . Joseph Parrj , rom his person . Mr . Parry , builder , in Clare-market , stated that on Sunday week he rr . 6 t the prisoners , who were dressed in female apparel . They asked
him to give them money , to go with them to a grog shop , which , however , he declined . The prisoners used no indecent remarks . From their dress and address he thought they were young women . ^ As soon as they cro .-sed to Sbire-lane l ; e missed the breast pin and told the policeman go . The prisoners were pursued and aprehended , the pin was found next day on the spot they were taken at . Mr . Looks called the inspector , who deposed that the prisoners gave their names as Emma Anderson and Jane Wilson . He also stated the alarm of the station-searcher on discovering the sex of the two prisoners . Another officer , who assisted at the capture , stated the prisoner Sullivan was very pugnacious , lie waa heard to say , "Though a woman , I ' m as good a man as you are . " ( Laughter . ) The
Reorder summed up the evidence , and the Jury , without much hesitation , returned a verdict fo guilty against both prisoners . William Webster , a police constable of the Metropolitan force , was called . He stated that he bad known Anderson three years as a suspected person of more offences than one . Knew of no former conviction . The Recorder told the prisoners that they knew best whether they had disguised themselves for other purposes than theft , but it was quite clear on this occasion that they had associated together for the purpose of theft , and had effected their purpose , and under such disgraceful circumstances , that the court felt itself justified in inflicting the highest punMunent the law allowed , viz ., that they be transported beyond the seas for fifteen years .

THE LAND versus TRANSPORTATION . THE EMIGRATION HUMBUGS IN THE POTTERIES UNMASKED . Our attention has been drawn to a hand-bill professedly emanating from the Central Committee , but which , in reality , vpriags from the Editor of the £ xaminer , directing the minds of Potters to the fact that Mr , O'Connor « giving £ 80 per acre for land . Now this statement ib quite consistent with the general tenor of this man's writings . He is a special pleader , aDd although he has covered himself under the garb of hi * Committee , i t hears oil tbe external marks of bis . own workmanship . Now let ub see wlmt the truth is , —it
appears in the first instance Mr . O'Connor has purchased aa estate at Herringsgate , for less than £ 18 per acre : — in tlie second place he purchased an estate called Carpeader's Farm , for a little over £ 20 per acre ; this estate he bus Bince sold for £ 1350 more than it cost the Company . In the last case of purchase he has given £ 8 , 000 for an estate , which we understand is something near £ 58 per acre . But does this prove the position of the Editer of the Examiner , that £ 50 per acre ia the average price of lrnd in thi 3 country , certainly not , as he ver ; well knows . There is plenty of land in this country which may be had for less than £ 18 per acre . Now if an hantsit man had stated the case , lie would have told you whiit wus the average price of the land of the three estates , which have been purchased for the Chartist Cooperative Land Company / - Everj man of common understanding knows that land is not one uniform price all through the country , aad we wunt land that will suit our purposes , we want the best laud in ihe country ; we havu
Kot « oine of it , and we shall have more , so soon as our Directors have finished the other estates they have just puTOhased ; we di not swam anibog load ; such , in our opinion , is dear at any price ; we have land into which there is a good road , and markets adjacent , in convenient places ; we have no occasion to wade breast-high through water to go to our dwellings , nor to go hundreds of miles in search of customers for our produce ; no , we can sell all wo want to sell , cither on the spot or very near to it . Here are the advantages of Home Colonization . Nor will it take us nearly £ 100 to go to our allotmentsthe same that it will take every family who is unfortunate enough to be sent away from his native land by your society , Neither shall we lose four months' wages in crossing tbe water , besides having to experience all the horrors of emigrating to such a distance . Were your dupes as well acquainted with emigration as some poor fellows we could name , they would at once pronounce it to be tkkenina heartless depravity .
A . pretty scheme this to remove surplus labour , when , according to the best calculations that can bo made , it would take £ 10 , 000 to remove oue hundred families , a sum of money that would tuke you till doomsday to realize ; for with all your agitation , aud all your deception , all your reasoning , your machinery dodges , and all the rest of your juggling , you have realized £ 1300 from the commencement , of your career , and your scheme will hare less support in ' future than i t has received , because of its deceptive character and well-known impracticability .
You are for ever telling your few readers , that for twenty-one shillings they may have twenty acres of land , a good log hut , and all the blessings and comforts of Jil ' e . Now you know tlmt there are plenty of men who once were friendly to emigration , who liare paid tbeir two nnd three pounds euch , and you have told them tbat it is their duty to pay even twenty shares if the object cannot be realized , mthout it , These men imro left you in disgust , and they are ashamed oL even acknowledging the fact that you have juggled them out of so much money , and are willing to sell their shares at a sacrifice ; of seventy . five per cent ., or more , should the purchasers think they are not low enough . No * , Sir , let us tell you and the public another fact , which is as follows : —that we offer to sell to the Emigration Society one hundred acres of land in America , fifty of which ate woodland , with a firm title and all the necessary requirements , for £ 15 . Tbe owner declare ! that he can do infinitely better on four acres in England than on one hundred in America , Now , Mr , Editor , here is soraethiiie for jou to
reason upon . The Home Colonization Company has many advantages over transportation , and has prospe / ed even beyond tbe expectations of its moBt sanguine supporters . The funds increase on all hands . It appears , that besides paying all agitating expenses , that with tbe sale of cards and rules we hare saved a fuud of nearly £ 1000 , without a constant drain on tbe pockets of its members , Our own Gominitteis work for nothing—nur Secretaries have no pny —our Land Agent has travelled thousands of miles for nothing—our Directors have pay , but their wages is not equal to youre , and we can say with truth , that our
Jtatumal Scheme has been carried on with as little expense as your pigmy scheme has cost its member * . It appears from your Balance Sheet , that you have received £ 0 for going twice to Liverpool , £ 15 for Agency , b sides other things which we could name . Your Secretary received for one journey to Birminghnm £ 1 12 s . and 15 a . on the same date , for something else you do not name , and a further sum of £ 16 12 * . 8 d . Your Committee , too , hag cast the society £ 21 5 b . since your last Balance Sheet , and there are plenty of other expenses which swallow up more than a third of your whole receipts . When will working potters see their own interests , and take tlieii affairs in their own hands ? Were we
connected with you , anothts week should not elapse btfore we would ask you some very pointed questions . You are always harping about division , nnd saj it is the Chartista who arc for sowing tte seeds of discontent amongst our members . Now let me tell you , Sir , tbat your name hue never been montioned , nor your society either , at any Lund Meeting that has been held in Hanley , 'from first to last , among the Chartists ; we are not cw .-half potters , therefore your affuirs do not interest us . but our opinion is , from the little knowledge we have of you , there need be-no division mongers where you are , for you seem to us to be one of those characters who would create division anywhere to accomplish your own selfish ends . Your eant about your society being a fuiluro is truly laughable . We believe , Sir , \\ % far as you are concerned it is no failure , nor ever will be so long as you can get dupes to replenish youv Exchequer . Yours , &o , The Committee or the Hamiet Bbancu of the Chartist Co-opebative Land Compant .
