      London , Friday Msming . gj ^—Have the goodness to make r 6 om fbr these few words : — I have been every day , and a portion of each night , since Friday last , engaged with the Accou ntant appointed to investigate my acc ounts , and only arrived in Town at a quarter past four this morning . Therefore , I faave not been able to give my promised Letter , nor even to write a line . This morning the Accountant is to make his Report to the Committee , and next week it will be published . Your obedient Servant , Feargus O'Connor .

      TO THE CHARTISTS . " He who permits oppref Eion shares the criias . " Brother Democra ts , Accompanied by Messrs M'Crae andKydd , I visited the families of Messrs Fussell , Sharp , and Williams , on Saturday last . I had previoi » d f , in the company of Mr Kydd , seen Mrs Jone ? . My object in visiting the families of the vietims ' was to ascertain the number and circumstances of « ach . Mrs Jones has three very young children , — fine-lookina : intelligent boys . _ _ _ _

      , Mk Russell has seven children , —the oldest fourteen years of age , and the youngest about five months : two of these children earn a trifle ! but not much more than keeps them in shoe leather . Mrs Sharp has two children ; unfortunately for her she is likely to be the mother of a third . Mrs Williams has six children—the oldest fourteen years of age , and the youngest four or five months . I have not yet seen Mrs Vernon nor Mrs L ooner .

      In ; sentencing our unfortunate brothers , the Judge commented on the heinousness of the defendants neglecting their work to attend seditious meetings . I found on inquiry , that Mr Fussell bad been short of work for two years previous to his arrest . Mr Sharp had been eleven weeks without employment , and Mr Williams had had no regular work for six months prior to his arrest . As maybe supposed , I found-the families of Messrs Fussell , Sharp , and Williams in a state of great distress , You know , brothers , that the support of ihese families is a sacred duty , towards which every Chartist is bound to contribute according

      to his . means . It appears to me that Mrs Jones , as the wife of an active member of the Chartist Executive , is entitled to his salary . This . should be an additional inducement to you to subscribe to the Libert } Fund . I understand that a sma ' ll p ittaace has been paid weekly to the wives and families of Fussell and the other victims , but not at all adequate to meet their wants . When the sentences passed upon our unfortunate brethren are taken into consideration ,

      it can never be that the people will willingly add to the severity of their punishment by allowing their families to starve . The imprisoned martyrs are compelled to live on the prison fare , wear the prison dress , pick oakum , and Submit to many other indignities . I am given to understand that they may be freed rrom the oakum-picking on paying a weekly fine of five shillings each . Surely so small a sum will be at once provided to relieve our friends from this miserable toil .

      I bave purposely avoided making anything like a wordy appeal in behalf of our unfortunate ^ brothers and their families . It appears to Hie that a simple statement of the facts should be , and I trust will be , quite sufficient to in--duce you to do your duty . The smallest trifle ; from each Chartist will deprive oppression of its sting , and alleviate sorrows which under the most favourable circumstances are hard to endure . Fraternally yours , G . Julian HarnEy . Northern Star Office , July 20 th , 1848 .

      MEETING AT T HE GREAT DODFORD ESTATE . On Snndsy last a very large meeting was held at the new eB » ate of the Natioaal Land Company . ' The leading Ch * rti » ts of B'mingham , Bromaerove , Worcester . Kidderminster , Stourbridee , Wolverhsmr . tfin . Dudley , Waisall , Bilston . Oldbury . Smethwick . Reriditch , began to arrive about half-past ten , and at two o ' clock ( when the meeting commencad ) , there could not have been les * tban 5 , 000 peop le assembled . Mr John Pare , of Birmingham , was called to the chair , " add introduced Mr Christopher Dnyle . who said , that the fact of the people meet'rje there in snob numbers was a plain proof that they tpok an interest , not oflSy In the progresB of the Lspd Company , bat also in . ChartiBm . Some

      time aao he had the pleasure of beine at another of the estates , and there he saw what he hoped soon to see throug hout tbe whole kingdom—aJ people living hnppy and contented on their own" labour , aad raalisiBgtbe fruits ef their own industry . Whatever might be the result of the" investigation at the handYof the committee of the House of Commons , fee trusted that his hearers would be determined in their efforts to secwe the isdftpesdenca of themselves and children . Mr Doyle concluded amidst spplavse . — -Mr Cr ""** of Stourbridge . fallowed in a good , plain , an <* te 51 ia ? speech . He did not come there to seek a . p oseoation at the hands of Government . He had beea already prosecuted n * " ne t \ mes but he came there to speak the truth ; and . althoueh be was sarrsunded by disguised blue

      boitlsR . be trusted that he and all there would not fee intiaidate <^ , and lhat . henceforth , they would organise for the obtainment of the People ' s Charter . —Mr George Mantle , of BkmiBgbara , said : Mr Chairman and friends—Before I proceed to address any remarks to this sreat audience . I . have to request that the government employes I sse before and around me , and trhose business n ' ere is to take cogoizince of our proceedings , will do us tho juatice ana themselves the credit of taking down on paper tbe whole of what is said , rather 'ban trust to their memories for garbled extracts calculated to lead to miVatements and false conclusions—by which , Mr Chairman , I mean , that whilst I have no objection to being reported , I have no desire to be Fusselled . I do confess that , in the whole of my career as an

      ad-> ocate cf Cbartiro , I never met with so gratifying a sight as that which greets my eyej upon the present occasion . It is an achievement of no ordinary character to see men and women whose six days ' earnings will ecarce cover their necessities—whose be-iies are enfeebled by excess of toil—whoso minds are depressed by long-continued and fast increasing p § verty—trudging some ten or twenty miles , for the purpose of proring their devotion to the cause , snd their determination to prepare for the ' good time coming . ' In the midst of ocr congratulations we must , however , stay ens tnemant to glance at the present position and future prospects of the people of this country . Since the year 1819 , the annual inoome or wages of the working ' classes of thi » country has decreased eighteen million ponnds sterling .

      Look at that , ye starving offspring of a starved-ontof-the-world father ! llear that , you shoeless mothers , and con over those few figures , and remember that this has beea sacrificed by you in taxes in church rates , state subsidies , profits , and competitisn—a cons ? quenea of your dependence on tnoneymosgen , fundholdors , and a hundred other traitors , great and small . Take , I say . these figures ; deduce frem them thoss facts which will soon preren ? themselves to an impartial and inquiring mind , nnd couple with them your own slavish position . The aristocracy will not assist you , because they well know they would then be superseded by an aristocracy of virtus . The M P . ' a will not do it bscause they are the toels of the aristocracy . The church will aot do it because every man would worship God

      after his own feshisn . Who , then , shall do the great work ? The psor pauper and the starving artisan will do it when they are true to themselves . When working men are hnnett to their class , then will they carry the convictions of the heart into practice . This will be when you have learnt your own power , and have a true sense of your dignity . The street , sweeper is a man—s lord is no more—made of the self-same flesh—creatures of the selfsame Godsubject to the same laws ef nature , and at the great day of reckoning will be judged , not for their riches or poverty , but for their vices or virtueB . Look at yon toiler ! He is away to the forsst , and topples down the towering oak . He builds a sbip , and launches it upon the bosom ef the mighty oceanunfurls bis sails , and bends the wiHds of heaven to

      his stubborn will—adTentares to the furthermost part of the globe , and returns , laden with treasures from the bswela of your mother earth . He dives int ? the bosom of the raigbty ocean—brings up the treasures of the great deep , and applies them by big skill and industry to the purposes of the state- ^ -the increase of national wealth—the means of national happiness . Yet he who does all this—he , without whom society would become a chaos—is without the means to etav bis hunger , or clotfce his children . It is a s » d and sickening sight , from which our souls recoi with horror and dismay . We look for succour , and are answered with a mocking taunt . Oar leaders speak our feeling ? , and the strong arm of the law comes to the rescue of oppression . Our Mitchels , our Frosts , our Jqne&ss , and our Fussells , tr « living examples of Whig mercy and love of justice . Mr Mantle concluded a brilliant and ssul-Btirring speech by calline for three cheers for Mitchel and the mar tyraof 1843 . —Mr Philip M'Grath commenced bj

      saying that never in Mb life had he listened to a speech which gave him bo mush pleasure as thai just delivered by his young friend—so replete with eloquence and good tense . The present was the begin . niog of a great work , the end of which would be the location of every willing Englishman on the soil of hissative land . The question has been asked , what is a Chartist ? It is a man who says that every Englishman twenty-one yeara of ase , of Bound mind , and untainted with crime , shall have a vote in the election , of members of Parliasenti After some other remarks , the speaker said that himMlf , Mr 0 'Coi > nor , and Mr Doyle , had been all day busily engaged in going through the accounts of the Company with a government accountant , sent down for that purpose , and he ( Mr M'Grath ) was just informed that he was wanted . lie hoped to meet them again in four months , when the estate wonld be finished for the reception of tbe allottees . Mr Mr M'Gratk retired amidst loud applause .

      In a few moments , Mr O'Connor was seen crossing the estate frem tbe farm-house . The enthoiiaam was intense . Everybody rushed to sea their ' Father . ' and when he mouated the van he was received with welcome and long-continued cheers . Mr O'Cosnoe said : You see now what may be accomplished by the exertion of one Ban . If you will come here in four months , I will show you this uncultivated and neglected place drained and tilled , turf cut , burnt , and manured—divided into allotments ot two , three , and four acres , with houses built , and roads made—and all this accomplished , not by the aristocracy , by iu government , or a committee of the House of Commons , but by Feargua O'Connor , aided by his children . Yon shall sea the weaver and the tailor here , taken from the noise

      and smoke of the town , working fceD , twelve , or sixteen hours a day—not that a master may pocket the profits , but for bis own benefit , and patting the prcceeds of his overwork io bis pocket ; net compelled ta work in the workshops in the heat of a scorching day , but retiring when tbe sun is too hot into his sentry b » x , and returning , when it is cool , to his labour . You will not want any Ten Hours Bill when you are labouring for yourselves . It was when you were labouring for the profitmonaM" that you wanted a Ten Hours Bill . And , notwithstanding the lying and slandering press , and the bullying of the committee now sitting to determine whether your Company BhaU bo legalised , I shall continue my exertions , till erery man of you is located on his own labour field , sitting down in feis cottage , no mac

      daring to make him airaid . After detailing at great length the proceedings bafore the committee , Mr O'Connor proceeded : It is for the want of a knowledge of my plan that France is now deluged with contagion , belaud , too , hai no EetUerl plan . She is civ eupied in devising means to get released from her present rulers , but she his not thought ab 3 ut the plan of social amelioration . Now , that the chief of her leaders are taken away , I shall propound a plan by which tbe country may unite and organise more effectually than ever , and by which she may destroy the government . I hare read the speeches deposed to by the tfituesseB on the trialB of oar friends in London , and I declare to you that there is nothing in

      them offensive to the law . I was examined by the Committee on the L > nd Plan . I told Mr Hayter that he wrs ft partisan and a mercenary , and he wanted to stop me . I told him I woald cot be stopped by him , nor his master , the Prime Minister of England . Is not he a pretty man to be a chairman ? A man who has oeeH conneoted with more bubbles in Belgium , Holland , and London , than any man in England . And when Sir Benjamin Bickbite talked about a Btrict and searching inquiry , 1 showed him a letter I got from Wales , asking for a gtriot inquiry into his proceedings down there . If the men who hare put their confidence in me , will only keep firdi wo shall won snow what we can ac-

      complish bj this plan of mine , aed that will be more than all tha laws of England could do . And I swear , so help me God , if I had £ 10 , 000 000 to-morrow , if I was sure never to get a farthing interest , I would lay it all out in land . I . wa 3 told when I was coming that there were a good many specials here . My answer wag , I wish their ' master , Sir Georga Grey , and their mistress , the Queen , were here too . In conclusion , I tell Russell , I tell Sir George Grey , Mr Hayter , and Sir Benjamin Backbite , that FearguB O OoDnor is not to be deterred from his course by any of their blackguardism , nor the calumnies of the lying press . Mr O'Connor retired amidst hearty Cheers , and tbu 6 ended a glorious field day f « r Chartism in the district of Bromsgrove .

      THE CHARTIST PRISONERS . Fissburt Locamtt , July 16 th , Mr A . Fuznen in the chair . Mr Allnutt reported from the Victim Committee . Mr Fennell moved , and Mr Marshall seconded , tbe adoption of tbe following petition : — ' To the bonoarable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , 5 a parliament assembled ; ' The humble petition of the Fissbury locality of the National Charter Associatfon , in public meeting assembled ; 1 Humbly showetb , ¦ ¦ ¦ .. - 1 That your petitioners have heard with feelinegof disgust and indignation that Mesars FusspII ,

      Williams , Sharp , Vernon , and Eruegt Jones , who' were convicted si the last sessions of the Central Criminal Oourt , of a misdemeanour , and sentenced fcn imprisonmentfor two years and upwards , have , einop their sentence bean subjected lo the mast brutal treatment on the part of the prison authorities ; that they have been denied tbe use of books , pens , ink , or paper ; that they have been compelled to wear the prisen dress ; and that their hair has been . ' cufc in the game fashion as if they had been convicted of the vilest of crimes ; that they have been compelled to hard labour ; and that they are undergoing all tho horrors of the silent system , and of solitary confinement .

      'Your petitioners have also to complain of the flip pant , careless , and heartless way , in which the com * plaint ef the prisoners , relative to their treatment before trial , was recsived by Mr Justice Wilde . ' Your petitioners alwsya understood that unless hard labour formed part of the sentence , that no bard labour could be enforced ; and your petitioners cannot attribute the Bhameful way in which the CnartiB ' prisoners are treated , to any other csnie than that special orders have been seBt to the prison authorities , from the Horae-office . Your petitioners beg to oall the attention of your honourable house to the fact , that solitary confinement has , in many cages , driven the unfortunate men subjected to it , lo madness ; and , lhat in other cases , it renders them unfit to associate tvith their fellow-men afterwards ; tor proof of whioh , your petitioners beg to refer your honourable house to the report of the Pentonville Prison Commission , made sometime since to your honourable house .

      ' Your petitioneraibelieve that , if the prisoners had bsea guilty of the most brutal , wicked , or hainous crimes , they could not have beea subjected to a more stringent or coercive mode of punishment ; end tfaat treating men convicted of a miedemeanour tbe same as if convicted of felony , cannot fail to create great and increasing discontent and dissatisfaction with the g overnment whioh eanetions / it . ' Your petitioners are ef opinion , that if equal and even-banded justice were to be dealt out , several of her Maje 3 ty ' g Ministers would have undergone a punishment of tha same kind as that which these men are now subjected to , far more violent and inflammatory speeches having been made by them when out of office , with impunity ; which language , if uttered by a poor man , would have been visited with all the Tenseance of the Attornay-Genoral .

      ' Your petitioners , feeling it to be utterly useless to memorialise the Home Secretary to ameliorate the condition of the prisoners , come before your honourable house , and most respectfully pray that you would be pleased to take this petition into your consideration , and , in the exercise of ycur power grant the relief prayed for , viz ., that the prisoners ; , be treated like human beings , and not like beasts ; that they may wear their own clothes ; that they may be allowed the use of books , peas , ink , and papa ;; that they ba not subjected to hard labour , or to the silent system , or to solitary confinement ; and that they shall not bs punished as felons when only convicted of misdemeanour .

      ' And your petitioners , as in duty bound , will ever pray for your honourable house- ' Supported by Messrs Nobba , Hopkingon , and R Fuzzen . Carried unanimously . Moved by Mr Fuzzen , seconded by Mr George Fox , that the petition be sent to Mr Wakley , for presentation . Moved bj Mr Fennell , seconded by Mr George Fox ' That this locality adopt tbe policy recommended by the Exeentive , to have nothing to do with secret societies . ' Carried . The meeting then adjourned to Sunday , July 23 rd . A . lecture is given at Hudson ' s Academy , Crosastreet , Hatton Garden , every Monday evening , at eibht o ' clock .

      DlSCHAEOKD SOLDIKR CHARTISTS . —To THB EDITOR op tiie ' Northern Star '—Sir , — "Within the last few days two men have been in this town , who say they have been in the army for fourteen years , and that they have just been discharged on account ef a short illness : they further state that they have denounced the government wherever they have been , and that they were going up into Lancashire and Yorkshire , to join the Chartists in their coming struggle against the government , Now , sir , the conclusion to which I corno is , that they are spies sent nut to ascertain whether there is an organisation

      LIYERPOOIi BRANCH . At an adjourned quarterly meeting of this branch of the National Land Company , held on the 23 rd March , 1848 , tbe Bonls qucation was taken up , and aftor an animated discuaeiou it was resolved , that a committee be appointed to draw up an address , print and circulate the game among tbe members of this locality , and that a copy ba cent to the various branches throueh tbe country , impressing upon them tbe necessity of support-Ing , by every moans in their power , ths National Land and Labour Bank , but mor « especially the Redemption department thereof . In accordance with that resolution , the committee appointed for the purpose , bog leave to lay before you a few simple reaeeua why they think it the duty o ! each and all of tho members of thb CompaDj , aa Boon as they shall have paid op the full amount of their shares to continue paying into the Redemption Fund of the Company .

      In the outset , then , it must be obvious to every thinking individual , that tbe amount paid by him or her Into tho Company , as share money , will never guarantee te them tho getting possession , in any reasonable time , of two , three , or four aeros of land , &s the case may be , betides a comfortable cottage , outbuildiDge , and £ 15 , £ 2210 a . or £ 30 , as Bid-money , to oommenco operations with . There is no doubt that , by ro . production , in tbe course of time the Company would work its own redemption , and that thousands would be located ia ft few years upon the land , ( a consummation , we all devoutly wish for ); but , for the more speedy development of the plan , the better security of all the members io a participation in the advantages derived from the scheme , and to secure the Company Bgninst failure , ne consider it tho duty of ever ; member to commence and redeem thai ; shares as speedily as possible , end for the following re&tona :

      1 st . —The amount paid by members on their shares is so trifling , in comparison to tbe great advantage anticipated frem the scheme , that it ib impossible these expectations can bo realised to the satisfaction of all in any reasonable time , 2 nd . —If the idea of locating tha members by re-production is abandoned , and the Bank substituted in its place , we haro njt a sufficient amount of capital to offer » s security to depositors to invest their n . oney in tbe Bank to the amount neotBaary for the full developement of tho plan . We will now enter more minutely Into an explanation of the position that we occupy at tho present tftno witb regard to our getting possession of tbe land , as we believo that the member * gentreil ; Ime not given tbis great question their serious consideration , and that it is only necessary for us to draw their attention to tho subjact , so that they may take up and carry through with energy and spirit this great wo « k they have so aobly begun .

      Ic is computed that there aro 60 , 000 members in tbls Company , and U ne Bet then down at an average of three acres eaob , their Bharon when paid up will amount to £ ' . ' 31 , 000 . Wo nil ! suppose , for tbe Bake of illustrating our position more fully , that this amount hsa bosn paid in , and from tbis we will proceed and oiamlne bow much money will be neoessary for tbe location of all tbe members , and then contrast tbe capital we possess with the total amount required , and from this we will at onoe perceive tho course necessary to be pursued . Mr O'Connor , in the March number of ihe Iiabodbbs , allows , on an average , for the completion of a tbroa-acre allo tment , £ 220 . That in , thrte sores of land at £ 35 per ao .-Q £ 1 ' " > Expenses of erecting cottage , making roads , and performance of agricultural operations .., ... ... 115 £ - - > 20

      We here aot all Ihe members down R 8 thrts-acro shareholders , and carrying out this supposition , it wilt be neuessary to provide 00 , 000 members with allotments to this amount ; or , lo 'He first place , raise tnoaoj sufficient for that purpose , which , in good round numbers , will amount to £ 13 200 , W 0 , Seeing , then , that tbis euur-

      mom amjuut of money mutt be procured either by production fron tbe capital we possess or Iobb , nnd « ee < in ; we bavs Mt aside re-production and adoptfd th Bank , ltbr > hOTesuB oil , as m ? n engaged in a good aa glorious wot& , not to be appalled at tbe apparent Its possibility of carrying out this great undertaking * la stead of befog dltmaycd , rather let it stimu l ate ua to re newed txsrtlon , and reuse all our energy andcealli emancipating ourselves from the degraded position w nsTo go long eceopied la society , and ehow to ths ent miej of labour that , though they can trample on la boar in an isolated state , in combination it is uncon querable .

      Having proceeded thus far in showing tbe email capita wepoBjeBB , be a tbe large amount necessary for thi ! carrying out of our object , we will now prcoeed U consider tbe best m ^ ans to be edppttd to give tbe Baal iftsuffideiit stabllity 80 as toindncein < -ividu « l » to d * posl ttelr ua-nBge with us , ratber time with any other Bank Thereisno doubt a sufficient Indocemont at tbe preieal time , ia sbe greater amount of retcrest given to deport . toTB-, and the better security rffered , but if we tuJteintfl consideration the Rreatfamount of prejudice wo haTOtfl ooorenrt against , and the « 8 prejudices even exlgrfng ill the mindi of ardent Refbttners , who , not viewing tbfl eohem ««* wiia ' orutopl < ttj , but fearlnj tberft is not « ta « Djlrty enough in the poople to carrj Into practloe tbi « giga DHomeasure , haugbasfe , and loo'i coldly upon ns , until we bavo shown to them our sincerity , by giving the ecbero * we hare adopted all the assistance in out power

      There ore other partieo whose interest it ia ( or wh& think it to their interest ) to plunge rhe working olasies ef this coantry still deeper into the vortex ol misery , and whose schemes can only be frnsirattd by this co-oper »« tlve mettcd overeating independence , Space will not allow , or we might eater more Into de » tail on tbil subject ; but as it isour tletire ta-draw you * attention more particularly to tha speedy working oul of this msarore , in which we ars-nlUo much Interred , than lo evils at present existing iasociety , we will now briefly lay fcefoye you onr views on-tuis eubjuct . Having taken onr calculations from 60 , 000 members for the orea . tlon of the eapital we poseeBP ,. and likewise for the amount necessary for our purpose , we will proceed to calculate oa tfce same number , IT , then , we . oet down

      each individual to pay two-pence prr week p ? r itaareinto tho R » aemptlao Fnna—that is , two-acrea 4 * ., tb ««« » or » t 64 , fowMtwres 83 . —anu there- are maHyamongtt ns who spend .. that on some useless superfluity , and trbiou cou'd well be dlspsnsed with , apeclaily if ths seviags were to be applied for tho purpose of rede , mlng ourselves from slavery , ai tho Land Plan is calculated to do . Some may say that they arc o » t afelu to pay that mount , but If there are such amorgJt uj , as we have no doubt there aro at tne present tlmr , ttn'ro are others who can well * fford to pay one or enn two ahillings per week , so that tbe one would make up for the other ; bat allowing sixpence per wtek for each member , that would give » weekly income of £ 1 , 500 , or yearly £ 78 . 000 , not taking into account interest upon this

      amount . Thus , in isolation , sixpence each member ; lneomblnatloB , £ 1 , 509 weekly ; still more strongly combined . £ 78 , 000 yearly . If , then , by such a small amount from- each , wo can command auch a large weekly and yearly income , ire mat safely infer that the pufetio would not bo long ta depositing on our security in preference to any other ; if we could borrow on onr weekly income the same amount as we offer ai security , the account would stasd thus : —W « f kly , £ 3 , 080 : Yearly , £ 158 i 0 dO . This It merely giving tho amount as subscribed and bor / owed ; but , after paying interest upon the araeunt borrowed , wo would etiil har « a lsrp profit in favour of ( be Com . pany , ( as Bbown by Hr O'Connor in hi& letters on tbe ¦ abjec t ) , besides the great number who would be located in a short time , and w'io would very soon pay op the whole amount ef their Redemption ,

      Wo now conclude , hoping that these / ew remarks , which aro but Imperfect , may create an inquiry which will , wa hope , at no distant day , Bet the Compory at wtkon &n > ot& mensWe scale than wfeat h set forth here , and by tbe creation of public confidence , indues them to assist ua In raising a beautiful social and moral structure on the ruins of eooial disorder and moral degradation . As the committee are determlatd to aee every means in their power to brinjj about a proper understanding among the members of this locality , with regord to tho Redemption department of the Company , they bare for tost purpose divided the town Into sections , and Bppointed visitors to wait upon the members In their rei . cctive difltricts , to collect money for the Redemption Fond , and to give every information that may be re * quired on the subject , We heps that the members gene * rally will give us ail the angistance in their power la carry , inp this plan into operation .
