' The resolution was spoken to bv many of the
members , sad carried unanimously . Mr Sherrington then read from the Stab the notice frem the directors of the opening of a new company , and stated that he was a member of the late Conference , and one who did all he could to have the Company closed even before the 31 st of December . He was perfectly amaz : d on Saturday last when , he read in the Star the intention of the directors to open a new company , they caving received decided instruction at the Conference to close on tbe 81 st of December .

The resolution was carried unanimously .

the most civilised people on eann . i cannoi dui ask , how it happens , after the lapse of so many hundreds of years , that we are here without either houses , land , or anything but the air we breathe . have either read , or heard , that in ancient time 3 , which are now termed the barbarous ages , our ancestors met annually under the canopy of heaven , and passed laws for the whole population . Since that time we have had the wars of York and Lancaster and many other wars , till we have lost the whole ot our rights to the soil , and everything else , under kings Li priests . , I ^ J ^^ Jrm ^ S ^ woolcorabers could about twentyfive

i hear the persona who do not work Baying , we wonder what is to become of the labouring class . ThiB question always sounds very curious in my ears , and I think it would be much more natural to hear tha labouring class wandering what would bacome of those who did not labour . MaHy of the manufacturers cry out against the Land Plan while they are ' paying us at the rate of seven and eightshillings per week , but I am confident that a change totheLand would be a great benefit if it only advanced our wages from efehfc to twelve shillings per week . If the working class would only unite themselves and their pence they would carry the Land and the Charter or anything else , and a 3 long as they have this power and will not help themselves ,
bow can they expect others to help them?—Mr W , Emmett , who seconded the adoption of the petition , said : We are met to advocate the phn of a mar who has always stood by the labouring class , andi f we were only half as true to ourselves as that mini to us , we should very soon carry both Land &J Charter . lam quite sure that if ever anything done by parliament for thehbouring class , it ^ i ! ' je done on acoount of the numbers demanding , and chis is an excellent opportunity of showing our numbers . We have manufactured till we are nearly all beggars ranging through the streets , not' Brlton 3 shall never be slaveB , ' while many of those in employment are earning only ei ? ht shillings per week . I wou'd recommend all to sign the petition and endeavour to
get npon the Land , for unless we adopt a plan of thia hind , those who are now earning twent y-five shillings per week , will not be doing so next January . The manufacturers are associating together to do away with the ten hours clause , but if the operatives can be so degraded as to sign their petition , "they will deierve to work not only eleven but twenty-four honrs per day for nothing . Do not willingly slave for eight shillings per week , but let every comber enter tho Land Company , and depend upon sunshine and showers , rather than upon manufacturing , for a living . —Mr John Town supported the petition in an able and argumentative speech . lie Baid ( hat if parliament would act as fairly with this petition as they had done with many of those belonging toother Joint Stock Companies , they would not have much to fear . They granted one million to the Irish Clergy who could not collect their tithea . If they did thin , they surely could not refuse the
labouring class the benefit of getting tbeir materials free . They also granted twenty millions to emancipate the black slaves , and jf they refuse us this small bonn , I must say that their talk about representing the labouring class of England is all humbug . Mr O'Connor has had to contend with hired scribblers who have attacked him through the Land Plan ; the people , however , have full conndence in him , and as a further proof of his honesty , he now proffers to hand over- the funds to government , only requiring the f owar of direction to see that it is honestly carried out . I am aware that three acres of land will net maintain a man running a horse and gig "; it will require a good many acres to do that , but I believe that three acres will maintain a man and his family able and wiiliug to work ; and if it will not do so , they can then return to their employers and take what they please to give them . Tha petition was then unanimously passed , and persons appointed to see it signed by the inhabitants .
_ Lancaster—This branch now numbers between sixty and seventy members , who have subscribed upwards of £ 100 , to the funds of the company . At a full meeting of the members held on the 16 th inst . the following resolutions were adopted with on ' y two dissentients : — 'That it is the opinion of this meeting , the -establishment of & new company at present would tend to destroy the confidence of the members generally , and ought , therefore , to be postponed until three-fourths of the present members are located . ' ' That , in the opinion of this meeting , the directors willhave sufficient employment in looking after the business and interests of the present Company , and that another company bnghc to be managed by other directors . ' 'That a copy of theseresolutions bo sent to the Northern Star , " and another copy t » the directors . ' At theabove jaeeting two-third 3 of the membera declared that they would cease to be members , if a new company was started by the directors of thei present Company . John Harrison , Sec .
Leicester—The shareholders' meeting at the Land Pavilion , Plough Inn , have passed a resolution of confidence in the directors , asd pledged themselves to defend Mr O'Connor ' s scat in Parliament . Mocstais , near IlALiFAX . —At the weekly meetine of this branch , held at the house of Ahraham Butterfield , on Monday evening last , the followiag resolution was unanimously agreed to : — ' That we have ^ ^ heard with _ pain and indignation of tke unprincipled and disgraceful persecution which has
b ? en commenced against our honoured champion , F . O'Connor , E-q .. M . P . ; andhaviss fn'l confidence in his honesty and integrity , we believe that these perse cutionsare commenced with a view to crush him , and through him the cause of liberty . And we hereby pledge ourselves to render him all the pecuniary support ia our power ; and that in aid ti this objeet a vigorous subscription be commenced forthwith . And we earnestly request every Chartist sBd member of the Land Company , to do the same , and disappoint the tools of faction . '
Newcastle-upon-Ttse , —The adjourned discussion on the petition of the members of the Land Company , aa proposed by Mr O'Connor in the Star of December 25 th , was resumed last Sunday evening , when the following resolution , as passed by our brother members of Warwick , was carried by an overwhelming majority : —• That we resrard tbe sujfges tion of Mr O'Connor , to band over the Land Company to the tender roerciea of an irresponsible government , as a matter fraught with many serious objections ; and that so long as the majority of this company being npn-e ' ectors , are without the pale of the British constitution , and defrauded of the rights of citizenship—and sa long as the nation is cursed with the present system of class legislation , we
utterly object to any governmental interference with the property of this company—and while we gratefully applaud Mr O'Connor's disinterestedness , and mplicitly rely on his honour , integiity , and patriotism , we respectfully suggest that a full conference of delegates from every branch of the company should be held in London , to consider well this subject , and to weigh the matter gravely , before we petition the present government to incorporate our Land Company under the baneful influence of their despotic system of centralisation , as we should deeply deplore the day that ever saw the Land Company fastened to tbe leading strings of an irresponsible crown minister , and our labour fields converted into a second edition of our hateful pauper unions .

When the tables were removed , Mr Bridjewater was unanimously called to the chair , and introduced Mr Doyle to the meeting to speak to the following sentiment : — 'The National | Land Company , may the whole of its members be speedily located , and enjoy the comforts and blessings which it is calculated to bestow . ' Mr Doyle , in responding , explained the rise and progress of the company : In little more than two years , they had raised the sum of £ 100 , 000 ; had purchased estates consisting of
2 . 000 acres , and had at the present time £ the sum of £ 33 , 000 in Exchequer Bills bearing interest at six and a half per cent . ; was that not better than investing their mpney in the government savings bank Mr D . expatiated at great length on the advantages of the Land Plan , and concluded amid much applause . The chairman then called on T . M . Wheeler to respond to ' the National Charter Association , and may the people speedily attain those rights which from the very fact of their birth , they are entitled to . ' The speaker traced the baneful effects of bad government— -shoved the justice of the Charter , and sat down much applauded . Mr ; G . Wheeler responded to the sentiment of— ' The ladies , and may they enjoy every blessing and prosperity which a free government is calculated to bsBtow on them .

chairman . —The chairman haying replied , the merry dance commenced , and was kept up with great spirit until morning ' s dawn .

Our not having a hall in London , in which to advocate he principles of Chartism' and Political Equality , has been long a source of deep r gret , and constant annoyanco to ub . We have been informed , sometimes with & smiling countenance , sometimes in the harsh grating tonos of assumed superiority ( when applying for a place iu which to hold public meetings , to petition for a redress of our grievances , and to expose the miseries the working classes labour nuder ) , by tho parties to whom we have applied , that according to their lease , they could not let it to any party , who advocate the rights of the whole nation , iu opposition to those who contend that it is just , right , and proper to give them to oneseventh of the community , and to retain tho other sixsevenths as serfs ond slaves , through * a deprivation of their civil aud natural rights . In other instances , we have been charged an esorbitant price , which we have
been compelled to pay , or to allow measures to pass of which we disapprove , without being able to express our dissatisfaction , or to lose anjjopportunlt y of tnahing our- selves heard , when our voices might be of great avail , either in assisting & popular measuro , or defeating an unpopular one . In order to rid ourselves of this annoyance , we must have a Central ChartiBt Hall , a national i Senate Houaeof OhartiBm , nhero wefekly meetings may be held , and the voice of the metropolis declarsd , iu all its power , whenever necessary . ^ TheReptalovB have a Conciliation (?)

In answer to the parties writing from Deedhurst , Brain , and Winchester , I have to say thoauma they mention were received , but as they were sent by individuals , they are put down in the miscellaneous amount in the balance sheet , but were properly acknowledged in the Stab at the time . To place each person ' s name in the Stab balance aueet would fill one side , as theitems sent | by individuals vary from 2 d . to 10 s . There have alao been many suma acknowledgedjn the Star , by parties they have been sent to , with no name at aU , bat merely for the Election Committee , and it has cost ten time 3 the labour to trace
the sumsi than it npuld hare done in postage , u sent direct to the proper parties ; a nd some of such sums have never yet been traced . The committee have , therefore resolved : — 'That , for the future , they will not take any notice , or give any answers about any names that may be sent otherwise than through their secretary , and made payable to him at the Lambeth pest-office , If above ten shillings—if under , they may be sent in postage-stamps . ' If our country friend * were aware of the trouble and at noyance they cause by sending monies to so many parties , and how often their communications are lost through being mixed up with other matters , they would Bee at once that the saving of the postage would bo ; bnt a trifle . —James Grassbt , secretary , 8 , Noah ' s Ar kcourt , Stangate , Lambeth .

Hatmarket Theatbb . —The Wife ' s Secret . —It is not often we have the pleasing task of recording such a turimph of histrionic and dramatic art as it was our good fortune to witness at the above theatre or Monday night last . Of the authors skill in constructing his play , we need gay nothing more than that , alt hough the plot was simple in the extreme , and , ind ced , transparent before the end of the first act , Mr Lovell has succeeded in maintaining a thrilling and unflagging interest to the very olo 3 e . An old , but faithless steward of Sir Walter Amyott , —an officer of high trujt under Cromweli'a government—being detected in his malpractices by Lady Amyott during her husband ' s absence , and fearing detection ,
determines on blasting the character of the wife in her husband / a eyes . Scarcely has Sir Walter Amyott returned home , befora he commences his machinations . Meanwhile Lord Arden , Lady Amyott ' s brother , and a fugitive Royalist , flying from bis pur suers , secretly enters Sir Walter ' s house , and throws himself on his sister ' s protection—from whom he extracts a solemn oath of secresy , since he beliefes Sir Walter can never forgive the personal insulta he has received at the hands of his enemy . Lady Amyott conceals her brother in the very room in which she keeps the fraudulent accounts of the faithless steward—and , on her husband ' s return , has , at her maid ' s impromptu suggestion to Sir Walter , the room blocked up and abandoned , on the plea of reminding
her of her past hours of solitude . The endeavours of the steward to enter the room for the purpose of recovering his papers—his discoveries there—the refusal of the wife to surrender the key—Sir Walter Amyott ' s confidence and love battling with the seeming proofs of guilt—the night in which he obtains apparent certainty of his wife ' s guilt—the attempted search of the houBe by a Parliamentary officer—and the unconsciousness all the while of being suspected , on the part of Lady Amyott , with the crushing explanation at last , and the subsequent denouement , afford materials for some of the most effective scenes that have emanated from the pen of a modern dramatist . Notwithstanding it merits , however , we are bound to confess that the play owes its chief success to the admirable performance of Mr and Mrs Chnrlea
Kean , whose return to the metropolis was hailed by the enthusiastic cheers of a crowded house . Mrs Kean we hold to be tbe most natural , and , therefore , the most effective actress we possess . She never strain 3 after an effect , and therefore always achieves it , and in her performanceion Monday night , as Lady Amyott , we saw exemplified the perfection of feminine delicacy and womanly dignity . Mr Charles Kean , as Sir Walter Amyott , has , we think , fairly established hia position as the first tragedian of tbe day . In the brief notice which tho crowded state of our columns necessarily compels , we cannot do justice tp the many excellencies of his performance . We selfibmheard any . thing finer than the genuine feeling of loving conviction that characterised his reply to the following words of his wife : —
I sever bad a thought or wisn Would blush before thine eyo—were it Hot so , I could not look thus fearless in thy face , Ami meet thy confidence . Sib TValteb : I know it ( dear , one . Or the calm confidence resting in the tone with which he addresses his wife , when called to confront the charge os her aceuser : —> What hast thou done to make this man thy foe ? Nor can we pa ? s by another passage , addressed to the steward ( Jabez Sneed ) , when bis heart is srrugglinz despairingly against the almost certainty of his wife's guilt : —
'Tis some hellish plot By d-tnons gendered—thou ( to Jabez ) none likelier She said thou iraot a knave . Say thou hast done this—Confess it—and thy knavery shall be Above all virtue ! Dost thou crave fcr gold ? Take it—take Ml I have—I crave it not—Take all my wealth—my house—my honOHrs—land . Strip bare ray body —take my health—my Btrcngth—Hy blood—my life—but spare me Eveline . We sincerely congratnlatc the manager of the Hay . market on having produced so excel'ent a play , and secured Mr and Mr 3 Kean , for what , however , we regret to learn , is but a limited engagement . We have
seen too little of them hitherto in the metropolis . We should be unjust were we in this notice to pass by the admirable acting of Mrs Keeley as the waiting maid , and of Mr Webster as the steward . At the close of the play , Mr and Mrs Kean were loudly called for , and appeared amid a storm of applause , and a shower of ' wreaths . ' Mrs Keelej , as also the author , were compelled to' bow thoir thanks . ' Tbe play was announced for repetition every night of Mr and Mrs Kean ' s engagement . This is ose of the few instances of a great , a legitimate , and a deserved success—and will , we hope , commence a new era in our dramatic annals .

Astley ' s Amphitheatre . —That gorgeous military soectacle The Camp of Silesia . ' still continues to draw crowded houses . The plot , if 80 it may be called , i 3 very slender , and consists of the war between the Prussians under Frederick the Great , and tho Hungarians . ' Laopold , ' ( Mr Silver . ) a Prussian soldier , and son of ' Salburn , ( Mr Johnson , ) a retired general , ia for a broach of military discipline , ( on the opening of the piece , ) to be shot on the _ fo ! - lowingday : but Frederick , expecting a battle , gives orders for his release , that he might wipe out the stain by a glorious death ; nevertheless , if he survive the contest , his sentence is to be executed on the morrow . ' Conrad' ( Mr Barry , ) a silly flutist , joins the Prussian army . The armies meet and a
desperate battle ensues , in which the King is separated from his troops by the enemy , and meets Conrad ' and his lover ' Theresa , ' ( Miss Lydia Pearce , ) who are puzzled to give an account of themselves , ' Frderick' in turn is questioned , and is equally embarrassed ; he however preserves his incognito , and is comJucte'l by the lovera to the CnBtle of Salburn . The castle is besieged by the Hungarians , and Frederick , who has made himself known by the advice of 'Ayesha , ' ( Mrs Moretou Brooks , ) changes hia dress with' Conrad , ' and is by her led out of the caBtle , when the King successfully plays the flutist , and effects his escape . ' Conrad makes his appearance in the King ' s dress , and is detained a prisoner by the Hungarians . ' Frederick * in the meantime
has joined his army , and having arranged his plans for attacking tbe enemy , by a strange generosity seldom to . be met with in kings , again assumes the garb of the flutist , and throws himself into the hands of the enemy , in order to liberate the simpleton ' Conrad . ' Bcthtry their akill on theflute , and are detained prisoners to amuse the leisuiO hours of their captora . ' Leopold / who has discovered the retreat of the King , tries to effect' Frederick's' escape by stratagem , but fails . The Prussian army , however , arrives , and atter a desperate contest is victorious . Such is the plot of the Camp of Silesia , ' which by the imiaenseauxiliflriesand resources of this theatre together with splendid , vet chasto < wtume , is a most brilliant spectacle . Nothing on the stage can surpass tbe review of the Prussian army ; each
evolution was performed with the nicest precision , and the performers appeared to vie ¦ with each , other in doing justice to the parts assigned them . The acting of Mr Barry is rich , and devoid of the low buffoonery of clowns in general . Miss Pearce also played her part admirably . —The Pantomime , ' Dr Syntax and his Dapper Grey Mare , ' ia chiefly founded on the sohool-boy tale of 'Tommy and Ilari-y , ' pupils of the Dootor . Tho openiag scene ,-the Cavern of Horse Shoes , introduces us to the evil goniusot the'Doctor ; ' the grey mare is shod , and a magic nail driven which paralyses her powers of locomotion . Then follows a splendid scene of the Good Genius , and the arrival sf the Queen of Industry in her special train , who . resolves to baffle the power of the Evil One . The school-room brings forward the brothers , Tommy aad Harry ; ' the one , in lore with his book ,

' A fight ensues between them , in which they are assisted bj ' Mrs Syntax ' who beats the Doctor' as well as the boys , -pu ' ' Doctor' sets out on Us journey , followed by hu Evil Genius ; the mare won ' t go , and the Doctor to beguile his time , sketches tbe finger post on tha barren moor , which changes to a beautiful land , scape to the a tonishment of the' Doctor ; ' he j 3 ^' robbed of his mare and purse and bound to a tree from which he i 3 released by two market women ' By mistake he parchaeei his own grey mara ' andhiamaaten mafd-of-aK-y ^ -tlie other in w ,

' Mrs Syntax , ' enraged afc tho marriage , is still more so at the part her spouse is enacting ; when tbe ' Queen of Industry' arrives and the usual metamorphoses take place ^ Then tha fun commences—hard blows and sharp wit—magical scenery and wonderful scenery—dancing , &c . Moat of the tricks are original and excellent . We strongly recommend the performances at this theatre during the holidays , to the lovers of fun , wit , and ro . mance .

The Chemical Histobt op D : st » rBCTio . v , iS 9 THRItt BBLATIOV TO SaKATORT MEASURES . —For soma time past Dr Bachhoffner has been actively engaged in delivering , at the Polytechnic Institution , a course of lectures on ventilation , respiration , &c , ; connexion with sanatory measures . During the past week the subject was taken up by Dr John Ryan , who makes his lecture a sequence to Dr Bachhoffner ' g , and enters at length into the chemical character of vitiated air , the nature of infection , and the history of remedial agents . The Doctor , in opening his lecture spoke as follows : - 'One of the great objects of an institution like the Pelytechnio is , to bring before the world , by means of apt illus . trations . the various discoveries and applications o {
scientific research . Whenever it ia practicable , wa certainly endeavour to clothe pur instructions in tag most pleasing , and even amusing guise ; and whera we can legitimately do so , we choose those subjects which admit of tbe moat striking and brilliant experiments . On the preaent occasion , however , I am called on by a sense of public duty to lecture oa a topic of such paramount importance that , although it may afford m but few illustrative experiments , and those not of a showy character , yet I am sura y » u will consider it worthy of your undivided attention . ' It would far exceed our limits to follow tha learned gentleman through , his admirable and highly important lecture , and from this cauao we muafc close our brief netice , by relating a melancholy cic outnet&nce mentioned by the Doctor in the course of
his discourse , relative to one of these' disinfectants , as they are erroneously called , and nitrite of lead , M . Ledoyen , liquid 1 . Col . Calvert , who was aiso . ciated with M . Ledoyen in the matter , and whose correspondence with government was not only volu . minous , but most decided in its tone , relating to tha power of the compounds over infectious miasmata , has just fallen a victim to fever in Canada , to which place he and M . Ledoyen were sent , officially , to test the virtues of the liquid . The inventor himself is returning home with shattered health . Afcec explaining tbe modus operand * of all the agents ia removing odour—a process dependant on the removal of hydrogen from its basis , sulphur and phosphorus —the lecturer concluded by emphatically begging his audience not to truit to the chemical agents , but to the more simple operations of ventilation , light , drainage , cleanline 3 ? , and temperance .
