it is fully believed that he is now hiding himself iu some of the villages or towns on the west coast of England . The furniture purchased of the supposed murderer by Brinbridge , the broker , is advertised for sale by auction . It consists of articles of the commonest description . On Wednesday , through the exertions of Mr . Inspector Yates , the police succeeded in tracing the shovel with which the grave of the murdered man is supposed to have been dug . Jt appears that on Wednesday , the Sth instant , Mrs . Manning went to
Mr . Laiigk-y's , ironmonger , in Toolcy-street , Borough , where she saw the shopman , " and said she wanted aa iron shovel , at the same time stating that she wished it to be a very strong one . The shopman asked her whether she required a regular shovel ? She replied , "Xo , she would make one of the short-handled ones do . " One was shown her , for which she paid Is . 2 d ., leaving her name and address , and requesting the article to be sent to 5 o . 3 , Minycr-place , Sew Wqston-street , In the evening , which was done , and it was received hy Mrs . Manning . The shopman can identify her .
There Is little doubt that Maria Manning was as treacherous to her husband as she was to Mr . 0 ' Connor , and that she decamped with the whole of the money and securities as soon as the suspicions of the police were awakened , leaving Manning to take his chance of being apprehended , under the hope that when he was captured , any further pursuit after her might be abandoned . It seems evident that there was some arrangement between the two guilty parties to meet at a particular spot , as a part of the notes obtained from the Bank by Manuing on Saturday the 11 th inst . were found in possession of the wife when apprehended at Edinburgh , and it is not to be supposed that the husband gave her all these notes / or her sole use .
APPREHENSION OF A PARTY SUPPOSED TO BE MASS 1 SG . About one o ' clock this morning a man , supposed to be Manning , with his whfckers close shaved , was apprehended in Peter-street . Soho , and conveyed to theVins-street Station . Sergeant Langley , of the A division , who is well acquainted with tha person of iSsuiur . g . was sent for to identify him , but the sergeant stated that though there was a great likeness , it was not Manning , consequently the party was eet at liberty . ( From our Third Edition of Last Week . )
On Friday afternoon , shortly after one o'clock , the neighbourhood of Xcw Weston-strect , Bermondsey , was alarmed in consequence of the mutilated remains of a man being discovered in one of the houses in Miniver-p ! ace , near the new Leather market . The house iu question is at present unoccnjiied . but belongs to Mr . Coleman , a builder , residing at So . 1 . About six months ago he let it to a man named Manning , a discharged railway servant , who was dismissed by the directors of the Great Western liailicay Company some time ago for being concerned with Xightingale and others m committing a series of robberies on that line , lie resided with his wife in iWiniver-plaee , and the murdered man was frequently seen at their house , and
especially in the company of Mrs . Manning . The name of the deceased is Patrick 0 ' Conu ;» r , a ~ gauger in the Customs at the London Docks , where lie lias for some time received a salary of £ 300 a year . He was suppose ! to he in possession of nearly £ 4 , 000 in foreign railway bonds and securities , which was ¦ well known to Manning and his wife , as they were frequently in the habit of visiting him at his lodgings , 21 , Greenwood-street , Mile-end-road . On Thuralay meriting , the 9 th inst ., he left the latter place about half-past seven o ' clock , : md at five the same afternoon he was met by a friend near Manning's house , where he said lie was going . lie was
not afterwards seen by any of his friends , hut bciKjj in the habit of leaving home for some hours no notice was taken of it at the time ; but not returning on Saturday , handbills were circulated offering a reward of £ 10 for Ms discovery . Sothing being heard of Mr . O ' Connor for some days , Barnes , an active officer of the Is . division , was employed to look aficr him , and on that officer going to the deceased' s lodgings , he found that his boxes had been opened and emptied of all their valuable contents . He then ascertained that Mrs . Manning had been there alone on Thursday erening , the 9 th inst ., which excited his suspicions .
On Friday Barnes . ind Burton , active officers of the M division , proceeded to 2 fo . S , Miniver-place , which had been lately occupied by Manning , when Mr . Coleman , the landlord , afforded them access . Barnes had hear
immediately ascertained that they had been recently taken up . On turning up the flag-stones the constables found that the earth was rather loose ; they consequently called in assistance , and on removing the earth , they discovered the body of the murdered man . lie was lying on his face with his legs doubled up , and tied with a rope to the haunches . 2 Ir . Lockwood , a medical gentleman connected with one of the hospitals , was passim ? with our reporter at the time , and instantly rendered his assistance . He discovered that the " deceased had been murdered ; that he had been shot , as two slugs were
discovered ut-ar the temple or frontal bone . On turning over the body it was discovered that he had false teeth , which corresponded with the following advertisement , issued on Monday last . " £ 10 Reward . —Missing : Mr . Patrick O" Conn or , an officer of the CustOiiis , who left his residence , 21 , Greenwood street , Mile-end-road , on Thursday morning , the 9 ; h inst ., and was seen near Weston-s ' trect , atfive o ' clock on the same afternoon . Description—fifty years of age , five feet eleven indies hig ' n , fair complexion , light hair , stout made , and wears a set of lalse teeth . " Later in the afternoon a relative of the murdered man identified die bodv .
Mr . Slow , the beadle , having been informed of the awful discovery , directed the body to be deposited in the kitchen * where it will now * remain until the coroner ' s inquest . PCnTHEB PARTICULARS . There can hardly be any doubt that Manning or Jus wife committed the murder , as they sold all their goods to a broker in Eermondsey-street on Tuesday last , and exhibited a great desire to leave the Jioighbourhcotl . . Mrs . Manning was also at the murdered man ' s lodgings on the day he left and the day after , when she ^ unlocked his drawers , but no suspicion was attached to her as she was in the habit of doing so in his absence . The deceased was possessed of near £ 4 , 000 , chiefly consisting of foreign railway bonds and shares , besides about £ 300 iu cash , the whole of which has been stolen . Iu fact , nothing of the least Talue has been left . It is expected that the parties , being well known , will soon be in custody .
The murderer liad buried the body in a layer of slaked linie : upon removing the coat of lime the police found the unfortunate man with both his feet tied together with strong cord , and a dreadful wound m the head , clearly indicating that a bullet . had e ither passed through or lodged in the cranium . The lime had commenced its work of destruction on the body , the flesh in several places beinjr eaten away , and there is no doubt , if the discover / had not been made when it was , that very speedily " all traces of the deceased's body would have been destroyed . The deceased was in his fiftieth year , was " unmarried , and it is understood held an oSefal situation in the Excise . Manning is described as being about thirty years of age , and
had a peculiar mark over his eyes . When iast seen he was dressed in black cloth trousers and invisible green coat . The female is stated to be twenty-seven years old , andremarkablygoodlooking . Mr . Hitchcock , who resides next door to where the tragedy was enacted , states that on the day the murder mast- have been committed , not the least disturbance was heard in Manning's house , neither yras there anything resembling the discharge of firearms , nor at any subsequent time , leaving a strong Impression on the mind that the deceased had been inveigled into the back kitchen , and there shot with an air-irun . Prom a minute inspection of the mace
there is not the least doubt but that the ill-fated gentleman , before he was shot , was drugged , and thereby rendered insensible . A number of the detective police have been despatched to several provincial and seaport towns , to endeavour to ascertain whether the murderers liars taken up their quarters their , or whether any parties answering their description have taken their passage by the foreign boats . The prevailing opinion is that they are on their way to America or some other distant place . A telegraphic communication has likewise been sent along the various lines of railway , and by this hour a full description of the suspected murderers is posted up in nearly every large town n the couiitj v .

Robbebt bt a Clerk . —John lee 29 , was indicted for stealing £ 20 in gold , the property of Thomas Wright , his master . There were five other indictments of a similar kind against the prisoner . lie appeared very ill and was seated during the trial . Mr . Clarkson prosecuted , and Mr . Ballantine was for the defence . —The prosecutor of these indictments carries on an extensive business as a wholesale cheesemonger in Giltspur-strect , and it appeared that the father of the prisoner had been employed in the establishment as a confidential clerk for " a great number of years , and the prisoner himself had been engaged in the same capacity for eight years , and it was part of his duty to take account of all monies received during the day , and in the afternoon either to take it himself ov send another
clerk with the money to the bankers . On the 25 th of July it appeared that a sum of £ 163 8 s . 6 d . was so made up , £ 90 of which was in gold , but the prisouer , instead of sending the whole amount , kept back £ 20 of the gold , and only paid £ 143 8 s . ( 3 d . — The jury returned a verdict of " Guilty . "—He was then charged upon another indictment with stealing bank notes to the value of £ 20 , the property of the same prosecutor . —In this ease it appeared that the prisoner had to transmit a sum of £ 446 6 s . tothe bankers , which was comprised of cheques of various amounts , and £ 165 in notes ; and it appeared that , as in the former case , he kept back notes to the amount of £ 20 , and only paid in £ 420 6 s ., instead
of the proper amount . There was no evidence as to the description of the notes , and there w . 13 nothing in the case to show whether they were Bank of England or country bank notes . —The Recorder intimated his opinion that the prisoner ought not to be _ convicted upon this indictment-, inasmuch as the evidence failed to make out the allegation contained in it ; that he had stolen bank notes , which designation applied only to the notes of the Bank of England . —The jury then gave a verdict of "Not Guilty . "—The Recorder inquired what amount of money the prosecutor believed he had been robbed ot by the prisoner ?—Mr . Clarkson replied £ 2 , 000 . —The Recorder asked if all the amount had been
obtained by the same means as those which appeared to have been employed in the two cases that had been disposed of ?—Mr . Clarkson said it had . —Mi Billantine observed that he could urge nothing on behalf of the prisoner , except that he was in an extvemely dangerous state of illness . —The Recorder , in passing sentence , after remarking upon the very serious character of the oifcnce , told the prisoner that the court would have felt it to be their duty to have sent him out of the country , but that knowing in Ids state of health the government would not carry out such a sentence , he would not needlessly distress bis mind in his present condition , by passing a sentence which lie believed would not be acted upon . He felt it to he his duty , however , to pass upon him a sentence of long imprisonment , as it was impossible that such an offence as his could be passed over without severe punishment . The prisoner was then sentenced to be kept to hard labour , such as his condition of health would permit him to perform , for two years .
Stealing Bricks . —James Watson , 53 , a licensed victualler , Jonathan Richard "Watson , 2 S , labourer , and Robert Hawley , 29 , a labourer , were indicted for stealing 500 bricks , the property of John Brog-< len , the master of Hawlcy . . Mr , Prendcrgasfc prosecuted ; Mr . Clarkson and Mr . Parnell defended the Watsons , who arc father and son ; and Mr . Payne defended Hawley . The case , which lasted nearly the - whole day , excited a great amount of interest , in consequence of the respectable position filled by the prisoners Watson , and the court was very full . The elder Watson is a licensed victualler , keeping the White Horse , Jfew Gharlton , Kent , and where lie had resided for nearly twenty years , hitherto enjoying an unblemished reputation , as also bad his son , who stood indicted with him , and the
prisoner Hawley was in the employ of the prosecutor , who is the contractor for the iS ' ew Xortb . Kent branch of railway opened to Gravesend . The evidence adduced , however , did not sustain the charge on this indictment , and they were acquitted , but they were again indicted , in conjunction with a labouring man , named John Record , for having stolen , on the 26 th of May , at Woolwich . 1 , O 0 U bricks , the property of the same prosecutor . In this case it appeared that about a week before the date named in the indictment , the elder Watson asked Mr . Barnes , a builder , living at Sandhill , Plumstead , if he wanted to buy any new bricks , and he agreed to take 4000 or 5 , 000 at 28 s . a thousand , and about a , third of the quantity were sent in , but the rest not arriving , Mr , Barnes called on the 25 th
at Watson ' s , to know why they had not come , and he ( Watson ) said they should be there the next morning . The Watsons then engaged the man Record to go to the brick stack and bring away , 000 bricks afc the same time that the other carters were taking them , and if any questions were asked , to say they were for the works at the Charlton tunnel . One of the men connected with the works seeing the cart engaged by the Watsons , made some inquiries , and the answer not satisfying him , communicated the same to the foreman of the works , who at once instituted inquiries , and the result was , that the cart , which had at first started off in the direction of the tunnel works , -was traced to "Watson's premises , and a quantity of new bricks were tficj found stacked over with oldonts . "Upon being mxed with the robbery , Watson said there must havo been somemistake , and wished topayforthem . The police were then called in , and the eider
Wat-Bon seemed extremely anxious to have the aftair hushed up . The jury found both the Watsons " Guilty , "recommending them to mercy on account of their previous good character , and by the direction of the court acquitted Record . The Common Serjeant said it was an extremely bad case , especially against the elder prisoner , still the younger one nad taken an active part in the matter , which he had most likely been led into by his father . The younger Watson said he had . The Common Serjeant : But you were old enough to know you were doing wrong , and it is a very bad case ; here is no poverty , want , or excuse of any kind , and a person in good circumstances carrying on a wholesale system of roabery . However , the jury and the prosecutor had both recommended them to mercy , and the sentence was that the younger prisoner be imprisoned for six , and the elder one for eighteen months , and kept to hard labour .
ErfDBAVOOniXG TO OBTAIN Mo . VEY BY THREATS . — William Smith , aged 21 , and described in the calendar as a porter , was indicted for endeavouring , by threats and menaces , to obtain money from Allen Ilarrison—Mr . llyland and Mr . Laurie appeared to support the prosecution , which had been instigated by the civic authorities . —The prosecutor , a warehouseman in the employment of Messrs . Barton and Barber , Lower Thames-street , stated that , on ihe evening of the 9 th of July , at about half-past nine , he was returning home to Bow-lane , and stopped at the corner of the Mansion-house , when the prisoner , whom he had not seen before , came up to the side of him and said , " I gave not seen you late ' y , what are you going to give me ? " Witness said , " Nothing at all . 1 know nothing of you , " and continued to follow him , again repeating the
demand , and witness gave him the same answer . Prisoner again asked him what he was going to give him , adding , in a menacing tone , " I'll not leave you ; I'll expose you . " Witness made no reply to this , but walked on , followed by the prisoner , until they came to a policeman , when witness told him what had occurred , and gave him into custody . When at the station he said he had been mistaken and had taken witness for another person , and begged his pardon , stating that he would do all he could to oblige him . —The officer , who took the prisoner , said that when begot him to the station he found that his checks were painted , and on reaching him he found a packet of rouge and a piece of lint for applying it to his face in his p ocket . After some further evidence thejury found him" Guilty , " and he was sentenced to six months ' imprisonment and hard labour .

Piract on tub High Seas . —Joseph Ward , 22 , and Henry Mitchell , 85 , mariners , were charged withhaYing , on board the ship , "York , on the high seas , on the 27 th of May last , feloniously endeavoured to make a revolt , and to excite others to join them in it , with intent to take possession of the vessel , and run away with her . There were other counts laying the felony in other ways . —Mr . Paget ( with whom was Mr . Kushton ) opened the case to the jury , drawing attention to the chief points in the evidence , which was then detailed at great length . —Mr . Atkinson said a few words in behalf of Ward , who had told him his story , namely , that he had been shipped while intoxicated , and had so remained drinking for three days , and he was not conscious of what lie might have done ; that it would have been madness to attempt to take the ship against a crew of thirty-three men and several boys ;
and that several of the witnesses gave him a good character for quietness . He also addressed the court in behalf of Mitchell nearly to the same effect . —The learned judge summed up , and read those clauses of the act affecting the case , the strongest part of which was contained in the count in the indictment charging a mutiny with intent to run away with the ship . Ijc recapitulated the heads of the evidence , lie pointed out that Mitchell was the least implicated , inasmuch as it was not shown that he had himself endeavoured to excite any of the rest of the crew to revolt ; and it might be that he did not intend to join Ward in his wicked proposition . — With regard to the language used by Ward , it was most explicit and serious as showing his intention , — The jury , in a few minutes , returned a verdict of " Guiltv" against Ward , and found Mitchel " Not Guilty . "—Sentence deferred . Defrauding an Obdfellows' Lodge . —Card well Russell Smith , 32 , was indicted for having at Liver

Hunter , V 3 " G , to Mrs Ann Jones , the wife of Mr . Trice Jones , the treasurer of the lodge , and received the moncv unon it . In March last the prisoner was removed from office , and his successor , Mr . Astluy , discovered that the order presented was a forgery , Mr .

The catastrophe arose out of a quarrel , which was caused by the deceased using threatening language to Martin in particular . Martin , it was alleged , gave the deceased a stab with a knife , and the two other prisoners were charged with aiding and abetting him . Blackwall soon alter died in the hospital . —After a long address from Mr . Blair on behalf of the prisoners , and the summingup of the learned judge , the jury returned a verdict of " Guilty" of manslaughter , under great provocation against Garcia , and "Not Guilty" against Martin and Gomez .

Thia& of John Gleesox ( Wilson ) fob Murdeb . —It is well known that tho trial of John Gleeson ( Wilson ) , for the murder of Mrs . Hinrichson and her family , under circumstances of peculiar atrocity , was appointed to take place on Thursday , but in consequence of the rest of the criminal business having terminated early on Wednesday , the c . i 5 eof Wilson was called on , and tho trial was fixed to take place at one o ' clock .

PROVINCIAL NEWSPAPERS : THEIR VIEWS AKD STATEMENTS . The Drury-lano meeting still continues to elicit observations . The Newcastle Guardian has an excellent article on this subject : — " There arc now hopeful signs of united political action for practical reforms of a comprehensive and useful chnz-actcr . The alienation between the middle and working classes is gradually being removed , and will soon disappear altogether . It has long been obvious that this alienated feeling is the great and only obstacle to political progress . Its removal would effect a wondrous change , not only in securing a better system of government , but in promoting a healthier social feeling between classes whose interests being mutual , ought to be constantly united in political action . The enemies of popular rights know this well enough , and hence
their dread of such a union ; hence , too , the jealousy with which the aristocracy regard the increasing influence of the middle class , and their anxiety to stir up the other against it . But , whatever blame was formerly attributable to the middle classes for their apathy concerning the extensive reforms demanded by the workingman , that stigma is at length in a fair way of being removed . The great meeting of the Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association is indicative of a new era in political affairs , in which a more cordial understanding will henceforth prevail among those who ought never to have been anything else but one party , having common interests and common views to advance . Both parties now come to confess their respective failings and to promise amendment for
the tuture . It is our duty to receive their confessions as sincere , and to aid their efforts with all the heartiness which the justice and truthfulness of their cause deserves . They seek now to do what almost everybody sees to be essential to the welfare of the country , to procure complete suffrage , shorter parliaments , the ballot , financial reform , and a thorough revision of our legislative system ; and the names of those taking part in the proceedings show that it is no mere faction movement , but one representing parties whs have hitherto , from mistaken opinions of each other , acted separately , and arc now concentrating their influence for popular and national objects which every true Liberal will applaud and strive for . When we sec Mr . Feargus O'Connor , Mr . Edward Miall , Mr . George Thompson , Mr . Clark , and Sir Joshua Walmsley co-operating with
Lord Nugent , Lord Dudley Stuart , and Mr . Charles Lusliington , we may safely augur some good result to the cause of progress . The amalgamation of the various parties which these names represent cannot fail to give an impetus to political feeling anil to quicken the pace of every liiggurd . With such a union , it will be very surprising if new and extensive reforms are not obtained lor th ^ ccountry . ' The success of such a movement depends greatly upon tho support which it will receive throughout the country . In London it has had a most auspicious beginning . Its operations will soon be extended to the largo provincial towns , to which deputations will be sent , to prosecute an effective agitation , and complete the work so well begun of uniting the liberal feeling of the country into one " ¦ rand focus . Newcastle will not be overlooked in
this mission ; nor will its inhabitants be slow to respond to the appeal . Various causes have contributed to produce the apathy with which public events are unhappily regarded in this district ; but the great mass of the people are still pervaded by the same spirit which formerly made their voicesc powerful , and which , once evoked , will again contribute mightily to the social and political regeneration of the country . " The Liverpool Journal gives a graphic account of the meeting iu a letter signed " M . P . " " Themiddle and the working classes were solemnly married on Monday at Drury-lane , and not all the lords in England shall put them asunder . There was no mistake about this ' movement ; ' no making-up in the meeting . Pit and galleries crowded
with Cliartists ; stage and boxes with middle classes —all cheering the same sentiments and announcing the same resolve . Every grade in England contributed its delegate to the platform . Philosophical radicalism , which has bided its time , appeared in the bulky person of Lord Nugent , earnestly disposed to be theMirabeau of a reformed parliament . Philanthropic radicalism stood forth in Lord Dudley Stuart , ' who , in Hungary and Poland , never forgets Marylebone . The church was represented by the amiable and intellectual Rev . Thomas Spencer ; and dissent declaimed through the astute Edward Miall . Mr . Lushington spoke for the shop fronts of Westminster , no longer , he said , in need of shutters when universal suffrage processions may pass by ; Feargus O'Connor , suppressing bullyism .
conscious how impotent he is to stop the way Thomas Clark , a young Chartist , eager , ardent , and daring ; and George Ihompson , worn out in the service of democracy , but determined to die in harness , gave forth the responses from the millions of inquiries as to the labour question . Concessions came from all sides . Brother , we have both been in the wrong , ' was muttered on all hands ; and , as spouses , for a term at least , class and class were united ; Sir Joshua Walmsley , whose boldness and benevolence have got over all the difficulties as to settlements , rejoicingly giving away the middle-cla « s bride . The meeting was a protest against tho present , which those making a profit by the present cannot ignore . ' The people generally , ' said the chairman , ' are sullen and discontented , and my class , the middle class , is ground down with taxation : ' and the statement , which was delivered
thoughtfully and deliberately , and not as clap-trap , was received by that vast audience with a deeptoned ' hear , hear , ' which indicated its truth . ' We have been robbed , ' said air . Lushington , 1 insomuch as we have beeen taxed without our consent . ' ' We have been deluded , ' said Lord Nugent . ' insomuch as we were told that wo were members of a free state . ' ' We have been deceived , ' said Lord Dudley Stuart , ' and our prosperity , bringing out social happiness , has been a humbug . ' ' We have been outraged , ' said Mr . O ' Connor , ' in our demands for political justice , and those who have outraged us are villians . ' We are ruled over by an oligarchy , selfish and mecidore—let us therefore destroy it ) ' was the one cry ; and from Monday will date the destruction . Seriously , quietly , and effectively , not in a revolutionary , but in an English way , have we commenced the work , and by the old system of agitation will public opinion be coveted , strengthened , an gathered to a head .

THE LAND SCHEME . ( From the Weekly dispatch . ) We seem to have seen the end , if not of the Charter , at least of Chartism . It has had a strange and eventful history . Ten years ago Stephens and Oastler , at Ashton-under-Lync , brought the fury of the Anti-Poor Law Agitation to its fever and delirium point . Manufacturers were not safe in their beds , and their wives and daughters were mobbed and hustled in the cotton-spinning mushroom towns . Leaders , lodges , secretaries , midnight conclaves , torch-light meetings , sacred months , followed . Spies , strikes , pike-head manufactories , Kersallmoor processions , rapidly pushed on to Newport risings and treason . Government prosecutions .
fines , imprisonments , sacrificed the talkative and rich . Then camp that vile and unnatural conspiracy between the aristocracy , the rabble ( not the people ) , and the landed gentry , to crush the efforts of the Anti-Corn Law League to untax bread and unfetter industry , which exhibited itself in a determined effort on the part of the loudest bellowers for liberty to destroy the right of petition , the privilege of public meeting , and freedom of speech . * The reputation of the masses was destroyed in the eyes of their fastest friends of the middle classes , and the cause of an extended suffrage was , and has been , put back for years . Against tho adamantine power of society , and the irresistible force of the love of order inherent in the British community , physicalforce Chartism broke itself into fragments . Having
the right freely to meet , and to speak , and to write —possessed , by the Reform Bill , of the means of peaceably , rationally , and by the energy of public opinion alone , realising any changes clearly willed by the intelligent body of the people—the nation would not tolei-iile the attempts which weak and visionary fools nude to produce that confusion and insecurity by violence , which would have destroyed the very ' springs of industry and reduced labour to starvation . Chartism was summarily squashed as a stupid nuisance , which helped the peerage to arrest tlic progress of more formidable , because move practicable , attacks upon aristocratic abuse , and lordly plunder ; and the events of April , 1848 , crowned the uttor discomfiture of the mere slack-jaw patriotism of Kennington Common , and utterly put
to'the rout the credit of the stuttering convention ot thirty shillings a-woelc Lucius Junius Hrutuses , who spouted through their wages , and ended their oral wisdom with the bottom of their beer-pot , and the embers of theiv tobacco-pipe ! Vhe Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association has now directed the zeal of the misguided into a less tortuous channel , and made the torrent of Chartism to flow in a steadier , and therefore stronger current . Tho leaders of the Kennington Common hoax who are yet at large have sunk to tlieir proper level—and we bow to the wisdom of the Latin proverb , which advises us , if we have nothing good to say of the dead , to say nothing at all . Turning their Charter-pikes into ploughshares , and the five points of the National Petition into Tusser'sten points of good
husbandry , many wiser working-men have addressed themselves to the relief of their condition , and the elevation of their own order , through the more effectual influences of economical changes . It may be conceded to Mr , O'Connor that he had the merit of organising tho power of the labouring classes , and concentrating their strength , more effectually and formidably than they had ever been before ; and whatever may be our opinion of the total want of sense and discretion which characterised his guidance of these elements of political effectuality , we cannot withhold our admiration from the unshaken fidelity and trustfulness which has been exhibited by his followers , or the energy and combining skill which , in his hands , might have letter served a better cause . He has , as ho now
informs us , taken his leave of public life—not until , in our candid apprehension , it has taken leave of him . His influence was great—has been abused , and has been lost . We are not disposed to sneer at his epilogue . We shall not , therefore , affect to take him at his word , and wish , as heartily ns he does , that he may never more be heard of . It takes some genius even to be a demagogue . There is intelligence enough even in his followers to make it a feather in any man ' s cap that he was able for so long to be their leader . His Land Scheme partakes of the merits and defects of all his projects . That ho was enabled to induce poor hard-working men so to comb ne their weekly three half-pences , as in no great length of time to accumulate a fund of nearly £ 200 , 000 , affords ample evidence of executive
design , and a * by no means contemptible administrative faculty . That he dirt not know how wisely to use the great power he wielded , or to teach the masses how sagaciously to apply the cumulative forces he showe . l them that they possessed , is only to prove , that like many other inventors and projectors , his science and ingenuity fell altogether short of the skill of applying them to purposes of practical utility ; and that to propose and dispose demands two very different orders of ability . The Land Scheme , in its end , is undeniably laudable and excellent . Were the means as wise as the end is good , its success would be easily demonstrable . Its fundamental postulate is incontrovertible . The course of our sooial system , the necessary result of our constitutional policy of an hereditary aristocracy , witu its entail ana primogeniture , our pro-

tected interests , with their scandalous monopolies , and our rotten boroughs and pocket counties , with their jobbing members , and huge government pati'onnfo , has been to concentrate power and property into a few h .-inds . There is no country in the world where so many of the population are the servants of others , mere recipients of wnges , and precarious dependents upon masters , who , from the pressure of . population and consequent competition of labour , reduced the great body of the people to the condition of more unadstricted white slaves . Political power is attached to the occupation and possession of land . A freehold of only forty shillings gives a county vote . Yet there is not a State on the face of the globe where so small a number of the
native inhabitants are possessed of any . cven the smallest , portion of the soil of what is facetiously called their native country . We boast of our agricultural superiority , and have compelled our people to pay atax of fifty millions a-year for the support and encouragement of the cultivation ot these islands . Yet there is not a kingdom in Europe in which so small a proportion of the whole number of the people derive any support from the tilling of the earth as in this realm ; the male adults employed in agricultural pursuits in Great Britain being not qu : to one-sixth of the whole male adult population of the kingdom . Cottages have been pulled down whenever the peasantry have been wheedled into the union ov hounded out
of the parish by sham Game Law prosecutions . The Irish landlords have helped their clearance system by conspiring with steamboat proprietors to carry over the Hibernian bog-trotters to Liverpool or Glasgow at nominal fares , and to charge exorbitant rales for the passage back to Ireland again . Small farm 3 have been run into large ones—the rural districts have been desolated and depopulated . The masses of the people have been driven into the large towns , and confined to the pursuit of manufacturing and handicraft industry ; while the few who have been leit in the country to cultivate imperfectly the soil , have ; . heen reduced to a minimum of wages inadequate to the supply of mere food , and totally incompetent to the acquisition of clothing
and other secondary necessaries . These cireumstances have resulted in the destruction of a home trade . The equilibrium of occupation between agriculture and manufactures has" been altogether disturbed , Five-sixths of the population have been made producers of clothing and othermanufactures . Only one-sixth have been left to be their customers in exchange for food—and the impoverished condition of that one-sixth is so great , that they arc all but profitless consumers of the produce of the towns ; insomuch that thousands of the peasantry go without any new purchases of clothing for many years . Now the object of this Land Scheme is to restore this equilibrium . Ifc proposes to create a larce new class of rural freeholders , who , by
the acquisition of county qualifications , shall acquire that sh < kc in the country , which is the best guarantee for order , and attain an amount of political power which may transfer the representation of tlic country from the peers to the people . It designs to transpose a largo proportion ot tho industry of the country from the pursuit of manufactures , in which there is too much competition and too little consumption , to agriculture , in winch there is too little labour employed , a ml too icw consumers of manufactures left . It expects , by drafting off the surplus labour of the towns , to raise wages there , and by milking these drafted corps freeholders , to promote the fertility of the soil , and increase the number of the poor who are
their own employers , and made independent of wages . No ond can be better than this . No scheme for the regeneration of society promises more useful results . No failure has been move completeno means less adapted to tho object . When , indeed , we hear its projector from Drury-lano promising to every wovking ' mau 40 s . -i day or £ 730 a year , we are at no loss to know where the source of the abortion is to be found ; and earnestly would we advise his followers to hold him to his word , of retiring into private life , or once more going to law and calling himself to the bar , to which he has been too often brought up already . . Gardening and agriculture are not to be learnt in a day . In proportion as men are unskilled in country
craft , and uninurcd- to rural labour , they require a larger space of earth and more capital to succeed . A gardener ,, like a poet , is born , not made . You cannot all at once teach a tailor to grow cabbage . The experiment of fivc-acro farms should be commenced near large towns , and by country labourers , not by cockneys , who cannot tell a cow from a cucumber . Even digging is an art . A small tenant must understand the treatment of cattle and the making of butter ; because , without housefeeding and soiling , it is impossible to command the necessary quantity of . manure . The rotation of crops must also be thoroughly known ; because much of the success of the small farmer depends upon occupying every square inch of cround . and ( hv
rapidly filling up of blanks ) upon growing three or four crops on the space on which thelarge farmer can only raise one or two . A false start has been made , calculated to dishearten honest men from the further pursuit of a right princi ple ; and our object is , and shall be , to djscrimiaate between the practicable end and the impracticable means . Parm labourers and skilled gardeners , selected for their good character and industrious habits , should be chosen as the pioneers of the scheme . They should be made freeholders , subject to a rent-charge , and for the security and cheapness of tenure they might hold of trustees of undoubted responsibility . Wo entreat the subscribers to the Land Soheme not to lose heart . Let them continue their subscriptions , taking -proper precautions to secure the fund against embezzlement and dilapidation . While it accumulates and bears interest , it must be the object of the labouring classes and their friends to bring
practical knowledge and business habits to bear upon the proper developement of a plan which we are convinced , if properly worked out , bears within it the seeds of the regeneration of the peasantry , and , through their elevation , of the relief of the toiling millions , and of the enfranchisement of the working classes through the rapid extension of forty-shilling freeholders . It shall be our object , to prove , by the most incontrovertible evidence , that small holdings arc capable of maintaining millions in comfort , and entire independence upon the caprice of masters , or the precarious tenure of inadequate weekly wages . Although we admire the wise dread which the public entertain of projectors and ' ^ provincial Chancellors of Exchequer , " we shall not shrink from also showing how the scheme of conferring farms of all sizes upon various classes of agriculturists , may be carried into practical effect —and in the meantime we have but to counsel the supporters of the Land Scheme to be cautious , but not desponding . There is hope for them yet , which pvudonce and aWlUy may convert into Qwtaintx ami success . *

CATTLE . Smithfieu > , Monday , August 20 r — The improvement in the value of stock on Friday last had the eft'ect of considerably increasing the supply of beasts on sale in to-day ' g market . Although the attendance of both town and country buyers was extensive , the beef trade—as the number of beasts exceeded the wants of the butchers—was in a very sluggish state , at last Monday's quotations , being 2 dper 8 lbs . below those paid on Friday . The very primest Scots sold at from 3 s 8 d to 3 s lOd per 8 Jbs . ; at least a moiety of the beasts were in the hands of jobbers . Prior to the close of business a total clearance had not been effected . The general quality of the beasts ivas seasonably good , that of
the shean , lambs , and calves somewhat inferior . For tha time of year the number of sheep on oftei' was extensive . Although the mutton trade was not so active as on Friday last , a steady business was transacted in sheep , at fully the currencies ot Monday last . The primest old Downs went off at 3 s lOd to 4 s per 8 lbs ., at which a fair clearance was effected . The supply ot lambs was somewhat large ; most breeds , especially Uown qualities , sold freely at full prices , whiph ruled from 4 s to 5 s per 81 b _ s . For calves , the number of which was small , compared with that exhibited for some time past , the demand was heavy , at about stationary prices . The sale for pigs was very inactive . In the quotations we have no alteration to report .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brothers , —We arc happy to inform you that the differences that havo existed between tho prisoners in Kirkdalo . and the Victim Committee are nil settled , that a new committee has been appointed , and all appears-to { five satisfaction , both to the prisoners and the Manchester- locality . You will learn from the annexed balance sheet that the Manchester Chartists have subscribed nobly . The men on whose behalf we arc now writing have worked hard and long for the movement , and suffered much for the cause of Freedom . And now , Brothers , what are you doing for them ? Have you thought of their sufferings ! Are you anxious to make them comfortable ? Then subscribe a trifle , and ask your
neighbour to do the same , for -unless you do , they cannot be supported . We have learned that Doctor M'Douall and family are in very distressed circumstances , and we have decided to do our best to support them . Will you aid us ? Let your actions prove that you are men , and by making them comfortable you will maintain your character ' as Englishmen , and diffuse comfort to your fellow labourers in the cause of freedom . John Nuttaix . John Ghukdy . Joseph Mawdslet . Wm . Shelmekdine , Treasurer . T . Obmeshek , Financial Sec . William IIkum , Cor . See . P . S . —All communications must be directed to William Ilemm , 49 , Canning-street , Bradford-street , Manchester .
