' ^ Hv&u : thus adverted io the amended bill , I will > rt 3 « iu > ik * tc the eludes it has undergone . "ivnai'S the most , interesting one , because the * ia Lout-fal one for the future prospects of the 3 . n "! oiders , is that whereby Mr . O'Connor is de--r . vt-i o- ftU pretensions to proprietorship io the iy > tpjny " 5 preperty , and by which he is most em--iiii ^ illy treated as its agent . Provision to this ei is to be found in several parts of the amended f ) lu one place it comes so happily that I must j ^ im ' arise it . That is where Mr . O'Connor bad j'i . ; aily introduced a proviso iutended to affix the ijaaies of the Land Bauk upon the funds of yLind Compauy . From this it will be underr ~ oj tbat the bank is entirely separated from the
i u-. t ' . cr , and not unimportant change , provides ftise payment , out of the Company ' s funds , of ixtspeuiea incurred by the petitioners against the i i iiat the most important change , because , in « ' urn-ion , dictated by every principle of justice , Job' and humanity , « that by which the <;< w > are to have their several allofments inured to them upon comparatively easy and ffiwatle terms . I" addition to this , there is the ; ? iiad reasonable provision for giving compensate io tbose allottees who may prefer to relina-A their ioldings . _ _
' SicL . ^ en , is tbc position of the Land Company , inmjiu ' eil by the bill amended by tbe Committee of : le House oi" Commons . But tbat bill has not yet ksrjKaea legal instrument . It has not even , up to ikiuiie I write , been read a third time in the fee of Comiaous , although Mr . O'Connor has kiiiic barefaced and -unpardonable effrontery to tifbrai ills readers that it has . I am informed , frost a mo ^ t unquestionable source , that , up to tbe con . inicf Saturday last , the necessary notice for ikitird reading had not been ^ iren . I trust , for tL ? ake of the parties interested , that Mr . Roehuck » iJ , in the House of Commons , ask a question as pmiLeat to tbe interests of tbe shareholders as he Hi in reference to the just claims of the depositors imteLratlBauli .
Eat I aver , that had Mr . O'Connor ' s hill been Ji tameless as he weuld have people believe himirif to be , still , as 1 have before contended , the bty and fnrtivc manner in which he was passing 3 ikrc-u £ h the house , betrays the character of his i :-Kct < and intentiens . lie had hoped silently to i- » e passed it , without inducing examination , or seuiag opposition . If not , why were rot its proti-jjus submitted for approval to the shareholder ? i ' ji why did he refuse to allow the petitioners srjin . H the bill to be heard beiore the Committee ? fans evasively taking advantage of an informality in £ ? Mfitions .

O'ConnorviHe who have paid up their rent , shall speedily receive leases for ever of their allotments ; and I am shortly going down there to attend a meeting , to ¦ which I have been invited . On Thursday I received a letter from Mr . Cdixsehy , telling mo that Mr . Cooke is about to sue me for interest on mortgage money , due on Snlg ' s End . 2 ? owy will not the reader see that those located
GENTLEMEN , have great FEELING for me , and for those by whose money they haye been located ?• As a matter of course , Van exact account was laid before > the Parliamentary ebmmittee in 1818 , and also before the Parliamentary Committee that sat a few weeks , ago ,: and it was also published in the ' Northern Star . " Thomas Clask , Esq ., also states that the Bill has not been read a third'tiiheV ' My opinion was that the Bill had been read a third time , and I called upon Mr . Chinneky on Thursday , and asked him if it had been read a third time , but he told me that it had not , as many alterations were to be made .
Now , my friends , I will state again what I have frequently stated before , that I am resolved to carry on . another Land Company , upon my own responsibility , when the present one is wound up ; and , if you have read the account of the population of Ireland , in the " Dail y News" of Thursday last , it will make your Wood run cold } when you learn that the population of that country has diminished ONE MILLION AND A HALF since the
last census was taken . Now , what do you think of the conduct of a Government ruling such a country as Ireland , with a fertile soil and genial climate , allowing that country to be depopulated , while its land is idle , aud its population unwillingly idle , while we are importing food from all parts of the world ? Is it not enough to make your blood run cold ? Is it not enough to cast , not censure , but disgrace , upon a Government that ao rules that country 1 Good God ! if those RUFFIANS who have
been located upon the land , purchased w ^ h the mouey of the poor people who have not been located had paid their rent , what a state I would have had this country in now . I would have had thousands upon thousands of cottages built , and I would have had thousands upon thousands of families released from poverty and destitution . But , as I have often stated to you before , those who live npon the very sweat , blood , and marrow of the poor , do not wish to have such a project carried out ; but , however reviled and abused I may be by my professing
friends , I am determined not to abandon that cause which is calculated to elevate the poor . Now , let me ask Thomas Clabk , Esq ., if he had been the manager of a Bank , and was persecuted for money in Bradshatp ' s action , and Macnamaka's action , would he be able to state what I can—that he had not drawn a fraction out of that Bank ? And what will the unlocated members think of the located members at Snig ' s End allowing me to be prosecuted for ths interest due upon the mortgage ? What , I say , will they think of such honourable located members as those ?
Now , my friends , as I wish to preserve my character , and to rescue it from the abuse of those infernal ruffians who professed to be my greatest friends , but have become my greatest abusers I throw ifc hefore them , and will publish any article they wish in the "Northern Star , " and will give a fair , a clear , and , ihcontrovertibfeaiigwep . ( When this Company ia wound up I am resolved to carry on another on my own responsibility ; and then the Government and my
abusers will see THAT THE CENSURE OF SLAVES IS ADULATION , and that I still preserve the confidence of those , to elevate whom 1 have devoted my time and money , and for doing which I have sacrificed family , friends , and relations—have given up a splendid domain , my hounds , huntera , racehorsps , and my profession , from which I received £ 3 , 000 the first year I was called to the bar , what no barrister ever did before in the seven first years of his profession ; and I defended several people without fees .
Do not the working people of England think that another man in my position would have now been a member of the government , if he had abandoned the cause of the people , and gone with that party who profess to rule the people , but who oppress the poor . I toid you before that , in the year 1833 , that I was offered the whole of the patronage of my own county , if I would support the government , and not the Irish people . I also told you before , that in the year 1839 , when the Conference was sitting , I was offered to be placed
upon the Bench in Ireland as a judge , if I would abandon Chartism , but I refused it . And now , working men , I repeat again what I told Lord Edisbdky in the year 1833 , who was then whipper-in to the Whigs— " That if they amalgamated all the offices of Governor General of Iedia , Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , Prime Minister , and Lord Chancellor , and offered them all to me , that the whole would not bribe me to give a vote in the House of Commons that was calculated to injure the poor . "
What do you think of Thcmias Ciakk , Esq ., giving it as h \ s opinion , that I am not entitled to any money paid into the Bank out of my own pocket , when the Bank was connected with that Company contrary to my wish ? My friends , let me tell you , in conclusion , that ' however I may be reviled by THOMAS CLAKK , ESQ ., and others , that I am
resolved to adhere stedfastly to the principles of the PEOPLE'S CHARTEE , whole and entire . Your Faithful And Uncompromising Advocate , Feabgus O'Cosnor . P . S . —I apologise to Mr . Clabk , as I have learned , jnst as the paper was going to press , that Mr . Ieelaitd , one of the located members at O'ConnorviHe , is the author of the letter in "Lloyd ' sNewspaper . " —F . O'C .

DEFAULTING AGENTS ,
TO THE EDITOR OF TDK NORTHERS STiR . Dear Sir , —On perusing Mr . O'Connor's letter in iast week's paper I find the following paragraph : — " The agents for the Northern Star now owe me between £ 3 , 000 and £ 4 , 000 , and n <> other proprietor of a newspaper would allow them to do so . " I will venture to prophecy , that if Mr . O'Connor would publish the names of these defaulting and dishonest agents , that the men who arc now most forward in their denunciation of him , would be found to figure in that list to a pretty considerable
amount . It is due to the subscribers of the Star that these men should be known . Many of them no doubt are great advocates for " Moral , Political , and Social Reform , " while they neglect to practice what they preach , and vob others with impunity . During my agency I have lost some considerable sums tf money among professing democrats ; but that would not justify me in getting into Mr . O'Connor's debt , and swindling him out of his money . My papers are paid for in advance ; and other agents might do th « same , if they would attend to their business , and reform thetaselves .
The acts of many of the so-called democrats ara truly despotic and dishonourable , —their conduct is disgraceful , treacherous , and ungrateful , and Mr . O'Connor must now bo convinced that such characters cannot servo a good cause in any way ; how many have left the Chartist ranks for more pay ? How many have been all things to all men , that they might humbug some ? How many have ceaaed preaching the pure doctrine of political equality , and joined the ranks of the enemy ? How many , after b ' egging , borrowing , and stealing his money , have abused , belied , and defamed his character ? Some such vampyres live in Nottingham— where the people do know them . I am , dear Sir , yours respectfully , Jambs Sweet .

SNAKES IN TOE GRASS .
TO ilR . W . niDfcft . . i-BEiR'IlinEB , —It is with deep regret that I tnRe up my pen to address you upon a very painful subject ; but as I feel convinced in my own mind that every influence is being used to injure the circulation of the Star , I feel called upon to let you know what are some of the ovidenccs of that conviction . A person of the name of James Bolton , who has been for some time a subscriber to the Star , ordered of the news-agent , Edward Swinglehurst , Marshlane , an engraving of the Crystal Palace , for which ho would pay the price charged . Ho repeated the order for several weeks , and became so irritated tbat he gave over taking in the btar . I lava heard of other cases where similar influences
have been brought to bear upon subscribers to the Star , but not being positively acquainted wit >> details , I forbear to mention them ; I have myself , on two or more occasions , felt the effects of this treatment ; in one ease I never received a number of the National Instructor ; and though I repeatedly ordered ifc for many weeks after , I could never get it . It Was the 9 &m © with the Labourer ; and otter parties were treated the same w ; iy . I am at a lo . * s to conceive who are the parties that thus indirectly are striking « i death blow at the existence of tho only paper that has consistently , through good and evil report , advocated the rights of labour ;—whe ther it be the local or general agents ia a question which I wish you to probe . The Star has always been the advocato for
co-operative establishments , and its columns have always been open to report the proceedings of such movements . I do not think that there ever wa 9 a paper in England that has done such signal service to the cause of co-operation , yet tell it not in Gath . " At a delegate meeting of co-operative societies in Manchester , a few weeks since , a vote of thanks was carried to several papers , and one of those papers was a Preston paper which has no sympathy whatever with such movements . I notice this because some leading Chartists wore there as delegates , —men who have derived the little influence they possess from their names having been aeen in the Star , and who have no doubt received their " laming" from its columns ; and yet the Star was not included in the vote .
At the time when every political cur is snapping at tho heels of Mr . O'Connor , and when the Land directors—men who have basked in the sunshine of Mr . O'Connor ' s Land Plan—have , in the hour of adversity , stung the hand that fed them , it is galling to think that news-agent 3 , who owe their existence as tradesmen to tho selling of tho Slav , should be made the instruments of a base endeavour to injure that journal . 1 remain yours , James Brown . 2 , Upper Lawson Street , Preston , June SOtb , 1851 .

and . mightier results . Mr . ThobntosHvst moved the following resolu * tion : — "Tbatthis meeting has heard with eatisfac * tion the comm _ unication froin . the , authorities at the Victoria Cemetery , - ' jintl ^ apjyqinit' MeasrB . Arnotfc and Yicnrs to report to ; tfie i < 3 pmmitte 8 convening this meeting when thb-rap ' aira- ' promised have beea completed . "~ -Mr .

Had they been an . ^ nit , ed ^> artyl . su ^ lie trusted that this inciden ^ would have ^^ 'dnV weight with them , and teach them to put a just re--spocfc and value upon their own mighty , but dormant , energies . Mr . G . J . IIoltoake seconded the resolution . Ha
had that afternoon , in company with Ernest Jones , visited the cemetery , and was convinced , from tho damage done to the monument , that it was no idle spirit of mischief which had prompted it . It must have been the work of several hands , and have needed considerable pever to efFect it . If proper exertions had been used by the directors , th » perpetrators of the mischief might have been discovered ; but , being tho property of working men , it was presumed that the insult might be inflicted with impunity . Ho was glad that ia this instance they had tauplit the monicd class that they were amenable to public opinion , and that they could not outrage the feelings of humanitr without experiencing the infliction of public indignation . The resolution was carried unanimously .
Mr . Bimcii ., in a neat speech , moved the following resolution : — " This meeting resolves thafi the sufferings of the d « ad for the furtherance of Chartism shall not have been undergone in vain , ami to carry out their principles determines to > assist in the efficient organisation of the district asa locality of tbe National Charter Association . Mr . E . JoiVKS seconded the resolution in a long and eloquent address . As a fellow-prisoner with . Williams and Sharp he sympathised deeply with their fate . A short time prior to the death o £ Williams ho met him in the waslv-houso of the > prison , and Williams put a note in hi ? hands , written with Ins blood , m which he stated thiit he was being murdered . ( Great sensation . ) Mr . J . ones then commented in indignant terms upon , the treatment of the prison authorities , conduct , which , sooner or later , would moot with retribution ,
and which only served to render those who survived their treatment- the more embittered against a . system which allowed such atrocities to be committed with impunity . Mr . Jones concluded a long and poweiful address bv calling on them to support tho organisation , and enable the Executive , by pecuniary aid , to collect the elements of tho democratic mind now scattered throughout the country into one great focus ; by so doing they would show more true respect for the memory of tho departed than by any amount of mere empty laudation . Mr . W . D&vw supported tho resolution . The resolution was carried unanimously . Mr . WiiEELEit moved , and Mr . Brisck seconded , a vote of thanks to the Chairman , and dwelt briefly upon the objects of the meeting . A considerable number of members wore enrolled , and a collection made to defray tho expenses .

THE IIUNGAPJAN REFUGEES .
The following circular , addressed to the inhabitants , has been extensively circulated in the Staffordshire Potteries : — " Four of the brave men who fought on behalf of Hungarian nationality and independence , are seek * ing an asylum and protection at your hands . Ifc is wholly unnecessary to dwell upon the events of that war—they are invosted with a melancholy interest , but are already familiar to every Englishman . Suffice it to say , that struggle was , so far as the Hungarian people were concerned , essentially one of self-defonce , and was conducted by them ia a spirit worthy of the holy principles for which they contended—their conduct was distinguished by magnanimity , forbearance , and mercy . On the
part ot the Austrian and Russian governments' , that war was carried on in a manner , unworthy of any civilised state—in a spirit of sanguinary ferocity , treacherousness , and revenge , Deeds of horror were perpetrated by the Allied Powers , unexampled perhaps in history—some of which oven delicacy will not allow us to mention , Neither age nor sex , could soften the bitterness of their tigerlike propensities . Unhappily , too , brute power triumphed over humanity and justice , and tho 39 who took up arms on behalf of the popular cause , have either fallen into the hands of the ruthlesa conqueror 8 j and been , in most instances , cruelly nut to death , or have been scattered over tho wide earth ; of which latter cluss four havo found their way to Hanley . " They come direct from Liverpool , where they have resided about four months , and have won the
esteem of the friends oi' progress by the strict propriety of their conduct . They ' form a part of tbe trusty Polish Legion that achieved renown under the command of the gallant Dembinski , who is now in Paris . When their cause had been betrayed by Georgey , they succeeded In effecting their escape * into Turkey , in company with the illustrious l £ ossuth , who still remains a prisoner , while they have been released . " The Refugees are anxious to find employment , and are willing to work at any description of labour in whicK it is poa&ible fov them to engage . Three of them are men of good abilities and education , and are rapidly acquiring the English languago ; the fourth is a man of considerable muscular power , and would be of great service in almost any department of unskilled labour .
" On behalf of these noble-minded but unfortunate men , we earnestly entreat : 1 st . Aid in money , that due provision may be made for the Refugees ? until they can procure the means of sustainingthemselves . 2 nd . Clothing , that they may appear in public in a befitting costume . It is thought that nenrly every gentleman of the neighbourhood might find a garment or two lying idle in his wardrobeuhoIcss to him , but aufficientiy respectable for the present purposes of the Refugees . 3 rd . The committee desire to obtain employment for the objects of their solicitude , as tbc only honourable means of permanently providing for their wants . "The inhabitants of the Staffordshire Totterica
havo always claimed , and always hitherto exhibited , a character for humanity and benevolence ; and at a time when trade is more plentiful than for some time past , they will not surely turn a deaf ear to the claims of a few heroic men , whose only crimo is that of having unsuccessfully resisted tha encroachments of the worst tyranny of modern ; time 3 . We feel assured that thia appeal will find a hearty echo in every township in tho Potteries . Signed on behalf of the Potteries Refugees Committee Josiaii J . MERRiifAs , Secretary .

" He who permits oppression shares the crime . " ADDRESS OF THE HALIFAX CHARTIST COMMITTEE TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . Sik , —For a long time we have \ vitnes 3 ed the efforts of the press generally to do you all the mischief they could , and to some extent they have accomplished their object , ^ as regards , money concerns :-t-indeed , iihey ^ niight think ; you' werei " proprietor of the mines of Caliifbrma .: Sir , ; when w& thuib ofjth 6 suffOTirigs ; , persecJitions ; - ind the ^ tress you ^ have endured , "b ^ th'm body ^ n ^' imna , on account pf " tfie'lkhburing patt of the ' people , we ( the dommittee ) feel it . our duty to do all we can
to bear you up in tha conflict you are waging against the enemies , of our political and social rights . When we carry our mind back to the commencement of your political career , and think of tho men who surrounded you , when your pocket had eomething in it worth looking at , but when we look at the present , now that you have spent all you had , where are these men ? Alas I some of them are in the ranks of your bitterest enemies , while others We bush-fighting against you , wishing to destroy you in the dark . You know this as well as we do but we think it a duty thus to express
our feelings publicl y on these matters . However the people may have slumbered , you have always been alive to a sense of more than your share of public service ; and it is now the solemn duty of the Chartists of this country to show tho unprincipled allottees , the government , and press , together with the Committee of the House of Commons , that Mr . O'Connor shall not lose a single 8 hilling of his money—that now , in the hour of his greatest trial and persecution , they will rally round him with the same devotion that he has clung to the principles of equal rights and equal laws .
It ia well known to all who attended the Conference , at which the Bank was established , that Mr . O'Connor was hostile to the project ; but true to the principles of Universal Suffrage , he allowed himself to \> e governed by a majority ; and we ask , would it be honest or right to allow him to pay the expenses of carrying on that Bank ? Ia it right that these individuals who havo paid no rent to the Company , but have drawn rent from the letting of their allotments , should receive compensation ? And because Mr . O'Connor would not agree to
so monstrous a proposition he is not to receive again the money he has advanced , and proved to be owing to him by no favoured a sourcenamely , two government actuaries . Look at the language of Mr . Herbert in the House of Commons , and the soft soap used about the allotteea who have paid no rent , calling them " tbe . noble people of England . " We should like to see Mr . Herbert placed in Mr . O'Connor ' s position ; then , we think , he would sing another song , both as regards himself and the allottees .
It must be evident to every thinking mind , that it is the intention of Government tools to ruin him if they can , and that they will do if the Chartists do not bestir themselves , and make common causa with their suffering friend ; which , if they do not , the world will know that lip-sympathy is the only kind of support the Democracy of this country will give to their most devoted friends and advocates .

James Leach then said , as it was a sort cf friendly meeting to confer ono with another , no programme Was before before the meeting , every one had one of their own . lie was required to give his opinion as to what ought to be done . It was contemplated parliament would dissolve eavly in August , and it was very probable that an agitation would be set on foot for an extension of the suffrage ; and it . was also probable , about the same time , another agitation would commence for Protection , under the name of Protection to Native Industry . It , therefore behovod
them to consider what part they should take in those questions ; and much depended upon the sort of extension of the suffrage Lord John Russell would propose next session , Mr . Leach then went into detail on the questions of Free Trade , Extension of the Suffrage , and Protection ; after which Mr . Wild , from Middleton , reported on the political condition of that place , and gave his reasons why he had not been so active in politics lately . —Mr . Thomas Diokenson said , they had petitioned parl iament , and memorialised her Majestyvj but they had commenced at the top , and had consequently failed . They should address the electors . He
had & draft of an address , which , if it suited the opinion of the meeting , and they empowered him to make it out , he would do so . Mr .

Finsburt . — -The associated democrats met on Sunday uight , at 21 , Vine-street , North end of Hatton-garden . Mr . Daniel Hockley in the chair . After tbe usual . husiness was disposed of , Mr . R . Haliday moved the following motion , which was seconded by Me . P , Johnson , and carried unanimously : — " That the so-called liberal press of this country is censurable for hypocrisy in pretending to defend the oppressed Against the oppressor , which is evinced in the systematic way of withholding a report of the humane , sympathetic , and overcrowded meeting , held in the National Hall , iiolborn , on the 25 th of June , in the case of that much esteemed champion—Ernest Jones , Esq . "—Mr . Johnson reported that he had received
correspondence concerning the obtmnnient of a Democratic Hall , which was as follows : —A gentleman in an extensive trade , residing in Henrietta-street , Covent-garden , offers large premises near the Whittington Club House , ia the Strand , at a nominal rent , and on a lease of nearly thirty-six years , and a donation of twenty-five guineas , to enable this association to convert the said premises into a Democratic Club Ilouse , and with a view of merging this association into a metropolitan agitation , to procure the political freedom of the people . After much deliberation on the subject , the case was deferred for the consideration of the council . On the motion of Mr . Cater , the question for discussion waa put off till a future time , on account of the lateness
of the evening , viz : " Will the Exhibition of All Nations counteract the Manchester Free Trade project , of bring ing Labour ' s remuneration down to jord Brougham ' a Starvation Standard of diet ?"It was also announced that Mr . William Worseldine , professor of ancient history , &c ., would lecture on the following Sunday , and that Mr . Johnson would resume the discussion on Thursday night , viz : " Is dancing compatible with the principles of morality ?" TnK Crystal Coffbb Hodse , 21 , Vine-street , Hatton-garden . —On Friday week last , William Worseldine delivered a lecture on Socrates and Plato , two renowned philosophers , whose names h&d been ever held in the highest veneration as men who were the ornaments of the age in which they
lived , for tho greatness of their minds , the sublimity of their philosophy , and tho purity of their morality—and were the authors of that profound system of reasoning , and interlocutory mode of writing , which posterity had so successfully imitated . The lecturer asked , was it not strange that so great a man as Socrates—who , acccording to Cicero , ' ¦ ' brought philosophy from heaven to dwell in cities ' '—should have been persecuted and put to death?—ay , and that by respectable and educated men ! But the solution of the problem was to be found in the corrupt and sordid policy of the few to Keep the mass of the people in ignorance . It had been ao in every age ; but the sun of truthful knowledge had , by hiamild rays , shone amidst the darkness of ignorance and tho storms of bigotry
He had achieved many triumphs , and would shine more and more until the perfect day of enlightenment . In conclusion , it could not be doubted that some of the teachings of Socrates and Plato were more plausible than true ; yet those teachings were carried on in such good humour , and evinced such profound intellectuality , that it was impossible not to admire them , persuaded , as he was , that truth would ultimately arise gloriously out of the chaos of error ; for the signs of the times indicated tho moral and intellectual improvement of all classes , aad the opening of brighter prospects , when moral worth , talent , and industry , would bo alono rospected . Then should weliave realised the golden age , when justice would dwell with mankind , and civilisation throw her mantle around tho universe

The flax machinery of the latter gentleman , as we have > mce learned from " our own little bird , " -was not in motion -when the royal visitors came up . Curious to witness its action , they requested that the proEiess might be exhibited ; and , of course , the reque > t of the Sovereign is a command to the subject . In a moment the machinery was in motion . Alas ! the penalties of curiosity ! Princes must pay them as well as people . Her Majesty and her Consort were suddenly lost in a cloud of dust , from which they emerged " quite a figure !
