      JItdeab Ldetos , — -Icaiiiiot find words to express the T reasure that your leiter , pnblished in last week ' s Star , afforded me ^ and that pleanire was considerably increased by the anticipatioB of meeting yon on the Sih at Birininghani . The great difficulty that 1 hare always had to contend against was that of applying practice to theory . BaTing nw 9 agricnltnre my principal sftidy from the moment that I was able" to think . I came to the

      conclusion , early : in . life , that the hlanders of oar aneestwB and of onr eoteinporaries eonld be remedied , S 3 it i > j Tnaffie , "whenever a tborongh knowledge of ihe capabilities of onrown soil cbald be impressed upon fixe minds of the people . Practice , however , was the oiie thing required ; andlaekingthat practice , ii was not at all likely that those who Bcarcelr knew how their food waa prodnced , shonld all at once acquiesce ia tbe feasibility of a plan which opened otr views bo foreign to those In which they had been xeared .

      Bui , my dear Linton , while I can scarcely com-* " **? ° t } he caution , the ignorance , ox lukewarmBess mth which the working classes : receive my propo-BUDns in the outset , Ihave good reason to find Jinlt with many of their profesang friends , who , in the very face ofsnch information as yon and others hare famished , will still perseTere in their cold-blooded oppoanon , from no o £ her earthly reason than their iosffiity to me . In proof of this assertion , we £ nd bmj policy-mongers , who ha ^ e no knowledge wbaiera of the enbject , straining their poor endeavours to weaken the agitation in favour of the land , by flie contemptible cry that it is weakening the agitation for Use Charter . It is fortunate , Linton , that you are » Chartist—a Chartist in name and principle aiso

      l $ is ionnnate . that that truly estimable gentleman , Mr . D . Weatherhead , is a Ghartistj and thai he wfarapproTes the plan that he is bow engaged in carrying it ont to a . large extent , I may also mention Mr . Thornton , of Paddoek , near Huddersfield , as good a Chartist as breathes ; a man of large fortune too . I visited bis experimental plot , of some thing more than two acres , within the present month ; and if any man doribts the truth of my most extravagant calculation let him go and visit that plot of jp-onnd ; made ont of an apparently barren moor . . Add to these indiTidualnndertaMngs the great eagerces with which the working men themselves snap vp erery bit ef land that they can get at any price . Witness the land bustle in -parts of Nofctinehamshire .

      Lancashire , and Yorkshire . See the great importance attached by the working classes to iho 5 e sm&H plots allotted to them by Messrs . Gott and Marshall , of Leeds , regardless of the rent . TMt Nottingham « n a Sunday or a holiday , or any day when there is light after work , to tale a walk to those small allotments , many of them at a distance of more than a Bale from the town . See the freshness And -rigour , and cheerfulness with which the dare who has toiled all day betakes himself to the recreation of labouring in the twilight for himself j and many of these spots let as high as from twenty to thirty pounds an acre . Show me a single fpot in any district in all England coming within tfee compass of one man ' s Jabour for Tilth fireiimes the real value might not he insured from the greedy competition to possess it .

      Ton -prill at once see that my object in mentioning these things is i © prove that a stroDg desire prevails among the working classes in all parts of the country iopesses themselves of some land ; and that the opposition is the mere growling of dissatisfied politicians , ostensibly directed against me , but inreality amounting to censure against the great body of the people . Linton , I have learned enongh to teach me that if I had it in my power to confer immediate bippintss upon all there would be do difficulty to ffod many who would object Io the people's possessing any comforts that tlid not come through the selfappointed political administrators . Is it not strange that those parties wha would deny me any share in popular confidence withhold the real state of affairs

      from the people ! They hare endeavoured to get np is under growl against the land question , the irifile rtorm of ¦ which they would direct against me ; ¦ Briiie , as Itave shown , the whole "people are in fiTcnr ofmyplan ; and not only that , bnt every single kcrcrer jrosFessing the confidence of the people has i * Marions times at public meetings in my hearing declared , that Tmt for the expectations from the had , they would not give three straws for the Chartar . Leach , West , Doyle , Boss , Barney , White , Hifen , Wheeler , Lundy , Clarke , Dixon , Bairstow , Bolwelljlleeslty , and , not to individualize , all the leading Chartists in London and the provinces are cae and all in favour of the land ; and see as I see the great strength which the agitation of that question must add to the strugggle for the Charter .

      My dear linton , how Tery glad I am to haTe an opportunity ihrongh you of commenting simply upon iMs siinple ^ ubject . Now , no man will deny but that the disappointment occasioned by the "Reform Bill was a consequence of that great confidence which the people reposed in those who were the leaders in the reform struggle ; and the great danger of change to lie people of * country invariably arises from the ract ihat those who demand the change , and who literally kring n about , isve at all times been deceived by those ¦ whom they appoint as tfeeir trustees . Let me iovr suppose a Tery possible case . Snppose tl \ e "Whigs had been overawed by pnblie opinion in 1839 , md , in consequence , to haTe granted the People ' s Charter . In such case , I ask you , what but revolu tios cculd have been tberesult ! and who wonld have

      nore deferred popular censure than those leaders ¦ kId had cried up the merits of the Charter , and who , Tien pos 5 es ? ed of it , were unable to shew how it ecam be made beneficial to the working classes ? All wtmJd very naturally hare looked upon the political Eeisnre as the means of ensuring Bocial comfort . Ifce depression of labour was the onegreat complaint ; * i 3 e tie inadeguacy of the Charter to Tedress the linoral grievance , withont falling back upon the kfcd , would have been discovered too late , and would is \ e Jed to the justifiable eharge of treachery Htinsx the leaders .

      Tie moment of great excliemeni is not just the Jane to-propound a wholly novel question as a means Asocial redress ; and had we waited until the Charter « f achieved , to discuss the question of the land , the £ sgu 5 t would have led to a refolntion . Can any bib inform me , how , inih an overstock of machinery pretesting ihe recognition ofindiiidual worth in the labDcr marlef , and wjtbont the . means of competition being placed in the hands of the labourers , any ope grievance beyond that of the reduction of taxation could be redressed ? and even what may i > e STed m taxation would assuredly be swallowed tp kj the power of capital applied \ a &non'Consum \ ng producing power . Bnt says the mere politician , yon Jorgei itat we would have our members appointed

      cj tie -wide people in whom would be vested the power of making such alteradons ss the nature of tie C 2 ? e -Brcu ^ d require- I don ' t forget it ; it is the "ferj fcuBdaiion of all my thoughts ; &nd it is iu order , lot iriij ihat these very represtntatives should have amt itasible ground to work upon , bnt further , that tbtv sbtald not be left in a bark without a rudder , tbtit&T testing the ignorance of those who had aBLcbfcd them , that I have thought ii my duty to tresie an idensity of opinion between the representairre and conEtitueni body , whereby no interregnum "frotid occur bttween their appointment to the trust » td tl ^ ii aVility satisfactorily to discharge that IrCit - With me the qneston of the land is not a lovel t > ne . From the moment that the Northern

      txaryrss tstablished , I have written treatise after Ertata ? npoH ihe tuljgct ; and lor-g before it was in Eii = texct : I have written and spoken uponit . During &fc ibrit jears that I served in Parliament my * hcle energy was devoted to the Eubject : and I &ink 1 may assert , without arrogance , that , with the Si ^ le exertion of one individual , and throughoat to =: rcancalouEly opposed , no new scheme has ever vttn so fuccessfullj propounded to a people as thatef the Ettail farm plan . The idea of mere polices ! changes wiihcui the certainty of being able to make them instrDmental in producing the netessry social coml bns , are all moonshine : while toy political change which would bring about * iat is called Free Trade , co-exisiing with the

      ic&iJupoJy of Sctitiona capital and noBConsuming Prodacing power , would but have the effect of | Seating nia » ual labour , and of further reducing the ? toouiii &f wages paid to the limited number em- ; ^< -tt- ; whereas ihe application of the surplus * Wj it , ifee Jaufl would have tbe donble effect of . i \ bi ^ us independent of foreign states for all the j it ^ iiries of life , while , by opening the natural fe-d , iLere would be no system-made surplus popu- j * icr , » pon whose reduced vrages the monopolists ; ** & < $ earL ^ le without reference to asy sin gle rulei ? rtiTilsui .-n by which the conditions ot tradeBbonld j ** fc-vi Ti ^ v ^ .

      that the whole country will have made up its mind upon the adoption of a system calculated to remedy all the social grievances to which the old one had subjected them . . My dear Linton , there is one thing peculiarly . striking in the importance , which yon and all others , who have entered upon the practice of the small farm plan attach to the pursuit . You are an ironfonnder , with large premises , and employing many hands ; and yet , strange to say , yon appear to attach much more importance te a spot of land , comprising little more than three quarters of an acre , than to your other larger calling . So it is precisely with xoy go » d friend Thornton . He has a large mill for dressing woollen cloths , and plenty of

      money ; and yet his little plot affordB him greater pleasure than Mb large money-making concern , while he actn&lly pants for the moment that shall drive him from tne artificial epjoyment of money making , to the natural eajoyment derived from agricultural pursuits . I d « wish you sawMr . Thornton ' s plot . It would really astonish you . There ' s not a bit of waste or weed to be seen , and I have no hesitation in saying , that after paying £ 5 an acre for it , 4 f Mr . Thornton was driven to the election of paying that rent , and relying upon the produce , or ef receiving £ 2 a week for his labour , that he would much prefer paying the £ 5 an acre and living upon his own resources . Aye , and it would be much better for him too . When I last saw your

      spot I was dreadfully hurt at seeing no less tban 1 , 350 yards or more than one-third of your allotment under grass ; and now what I venture to assert is this , that if any sceptic chooses to hazard a large wager that you will make clear over and above the enormous rent of £ 5 an acre more than one hundred pounds of the amount of land in your possession something more than three quarters of an acre . As job say every year the crops * re improving . Aye , and they'll go on improving too , in the exact proportion in which yoa apply labour to them . Dig yeur furrows a foot deep after every crop , and turn the earth in them once a month ; rather sow your seed too thin than too thick . Let no weed be seen , and in the eourse of five years you wonld have three feet of soil rich enough for manure for the poorest ground , and worth , if sold for that purpose , more than a thousand pounds . You see that the correspondent of the Leeds Mercury admits , after four

      years trial , that his crops are growing better and better ; and after four or five years general trial of of my plan , if I was laughed at for any thing H would be for the poor estimate that I made of the value of a man ' s labour when applied to four acres of ground . In five years a careful man might grow onions upon every inch of his fonr acres without a shovelfull of manure . Such is the valae of labour when applied to land . By next Saturday the fourth number of my work upon Practical Farming will be published That number will complete the work , which as a whole will yet be found in every poor man ' s house in this country . In the fourth number I have entered into calculations of profit and loss ; I have laid down rules for the management of every inch of ground , and have allotted the necessary amount of produce for the maintenance of a man , hiawite , and family . It will be seen that what I allow for the support of a man , his wife , and four children for the year , is as follows : —

      Bacon 20 stone , Hour ... 1 stone per week Potatoes 8 " Milk , or butter made from milk 3 quarts per day Eggs , Poultry , Vegetables , and Honey , as much as they can consume . For clothing , 301 bsofwool , and the produce of a quarter of a acre of flax . For rent seed and taxes £ 24

      LeaviDg , after a very low calculation of profit , the sum of £ 100 as remuneration for a hundred and eighty £ ays labour . All my calculations have been made at a very low rate ; but 1 have preferred being nnder the mark rather than lead to those anticipations created upon the authority of the correspondent of the Leeds Mercury , whose assertions I by no means doubt ; butl think it rather hard that ihe Mercury should vouch for their tenth , and yet deny the truth of my more moderate assertions . I am glad that von tried my plan of planting whole potatoes , accorri ' Ji * o tlwrnlpa laid down in No . 1 of my book ; and although they were planted at least a quarter of a year after the proper season , yet do I venture to say that if your Swedish turnips have astonished your viritorB , your potatoes will bother them entirely .

      Now ., just attend to the following rulea : —land them up well from the earth , in the vallies : don't dig ; bem nntil they are thoroughly ripe , which will not be until the latter end of October ; and when you dig them , weigh them , estimate their value , deduct the cost of seed , rent , and labour , and let us know what the profit is ; and I will venture to say that many a hard-working baud-loom weaver has beea working for six months for less than the profit of four days' labour of your man Michael wi ) l yield . Hoping to see you at Birmingham , whtther elected or not ; and feeling assured that your practical experience will be ot the greatest possible advantage to our cause , socially and politically , I remain , my dear Linton , Your very faithful friend , Fkaegbs O'Coknob .

Moved by Mr- N . Cannon and seconded by Mr , W . H . Bains : " That this Council is of opinion that if the members of the National Charter Association were to contribute one penny per month for a permanent Victim Fund , it would at all times be Eufiicient to provide for the victims and their families ; and they would urge their reoommendation upon the attention of the delegates at the Conference , so that it may become one of our standing rules .

      Somebs Town Locaiit ? . —Mr . Davoo reported from the delegate meeting , Turn-again Lane , that ten shillings , or more , would be required from each locality , to defray the expences of the London delegates , about to proceed to the Birmingham Conference . In accordance with this report , not only ten shillings were voted , but a further sum of five , to be U 8 ed in the event of any deficiency arising relative to the gross sum . SOUTHWABK . —Cobn Liws .-At the King of Prussia , Fair-street , Tooley-street , there has been for the last five Monday evenings , a very animated and well-conducted discussion upon the Corn Laws v . ihe Charter ; on three of which evenings the part of the League was defended by Mr . M . P . Haynes , late

      Editor of the Statesman , &o . &o . On the fourth evening , Mr . M'Grath , according to appointment , attended to assist the Chartists . Mr . Haynes was not then present . Mr . M'Grath gave the sophistries of the League a severe shaking . A resolution was passed , inviting a deputation of the League , who attended on Monday evening last , in the person of Mr . A . L . Saul , of the League Council , and Mr . Wickham , official member of the anti-Corn . Law League . The discussion was opened by Mr . Saul , in a speech of about one hour ( being three quarters of an hoar more than rule ) , with the usual sophisms of the League , among which was the Malthusian doctrine of our inability to produce a sufficient amount of food from the land . "Why not ! because we do not . "

      Mr . Blackburn followed * ably refuting the Maltbusian speech of Mr . Saul , proving the land to be capable of producing more than a sufficiency of food for the population ; and showing the desirableness of falling back upon the land as a rational , Wholesome , and highly beneficial employment for the now enslaved , diseased , and crippled dwarfs that are linger * ing a miserable existence in the fcelid death holes of manufactories . Mr . Wickham followed in a Tery long speech , in which he attempted to grapple with the arguments of Mr . Blackburn ; the soundness of which was plainly proved by this very learned advocate of the League at last Homing to the self-same conclusions . Mr . Reed next addressed the meeting , in which he disclaimed with indignation any union

      with the Buckingham Parsons , &c . as insinuated by Mr . Wickham ; and also disclaimed any union with the League ; they being , in his opinion , classed . with the Buckingham parsons ; both being the direct enemies of the working classes . He was followed by a Mr . Wakeford , who built upon a foundation of Band : namely , the cheap loaf that the League would buy for us by a repeal of the Corn Laws . This was proved by Mr , Gathard to be fallacious and sandy ; he snowing by factB and figures that the loaf would not be " cheaper "; thai the cost of the production of a four pound loaf , rent , taxes , and all . was only iwo-P £ nce ; that trade would not increase by a repeal of the Corn LawB , by the fact that

      Peel ' s modification of the Tariff was answered by six opposition Taring from foreign nations raising their duties ; the amount of machinery already in this country wsb sufficient , if all were employed , to clothe , feed , and house more than the population of the whole world . Mr . G . then instanced the rates of profits derived by the manufacturers from the labouring men , as was proved by the example of the profitmongers receiving fivepence-haJfpenny ont of each four pound loaf ; and that the laws protecting capital and its owners were more iniquitous to the people than tbe Corn Law ? : the only remedy for which was political power that labour might be equally protected . Mr . Mayuaxd followed , stating that the facts and figures of Mr . Gathard were fallacious ; but he entirely forgot to prove them so . He continued , rambling iu favour of the Repeal of the

      Corn Laws , arriving ( as this ex-Chartist , usually does ) at no conclusions ; but like Cook , the voyager , set off round the world , and arrived at the place he started from : so that neither head or tail , argument or sense , could by any possibility be made of this gentleman ' s" talky . " After some few more speeches , Mr , S&ol closed , a la Maynard . Mr . Mantz then came forward and challenged Mr . Saul to discuss this question with him , which Mr- Saul declined : bnt Mr . Falvey , of the League , is expeoted to attend on Tuesday evening next , also Mr . Mantz , &o . &c . A vote of thanks was given to the impartial Chairman , ( the landlord of the hoase ) , and the numerous and respectable meeting separated- Chartists of Sonthwarkj attend on Tuesday craning next . It will be the conclusion of this important discusaion . Chair to be fakeu at half-past eight o'clock . -

      LONG BUCKLEY . —At a meetiDg of the Chartists of this locality it was resolved , that no person be entitled to any assistance from the Victim FunJ , who cannot prove , by his catd of membership , to be clearly identified with the Chartist cause .

      wages only aaa criterion by which to judge of the whole j and it is a notorious fact , that in tbe list of the ten names selected by them , they have had the indecent effrontery to attach weekly wages to one of tbe names as earned during the period of five weeks that the workman was laying on a sick bed . In another case they have included a considerable Bum of money , as earned during that six months , which they moat nave known was earned two yeats before ! J I Fellow-workmen , from the fact of these employers having no other resource to fly to , in order to injure us in yoor estimation , but that of falsehood and calumny , we trust yon will perceive that our present resistance to

      unbearable oppression , is not founded on a ajeraidle whim , or momentary caprice , or concocted or got up by only some of the workmen , for every man on piece work iu the trade is opposed to so enormous a reduction of from 23 to 75 . per cent , as is proposed by these said employers . IuBtead of its being 189 . per week , it will be less than 12 s . ; and we well know that their profits ( of wfe ' . ch we will shortly enter in full detail ) are such as to enable them to give a fair and reasonable price for the labour of their workmen . Other extensive foundries , Messrs Wood and Shartvoods , A . Wilson and Son , Pavyer , and several other small foundries ] still give the original prices , and declare that the men ' s wages are already too low . i

      Fellow-workmen , we are well aware that on tbe accuracy of oar statements might depend the success or failure of our endeavours' to frustrate the heart-rending attempts of Messrs . Thorowgood and Besley , Mr . Caslon , and Messrs . V . and J . Figgins , tu reduce ourselves , wives , and families , from jour already miserable existence , to beggary and starvation . Iu fact , the workhouses , of which those gentlemen ( Mr . Bealey and J . Figgins ore , or were Guardians ) [ are most likely to be our homes ere long , for it will be ) impossible to provide food ot homes with the scandalous reduction now proposed on our wages ; therefor ? we have hitherto adhered to the truth in all oar statements , and will continue so to do , in hopes that ajdisceming public will aid us in our efforts . j On behalf of the Committee , Roland Owen , Chairman .

      ENORMOUS PROFITS OF ! MASTER TYPE FOUNDERS , AND STRIKE OF THE

      WORKING MEN . | On Tuesday evening , a crowded meeting of the working men of London took place , at the National Association Hall , High Holborb , for the pnrpose of expressing their sympathy with the Type Founders of the Firms of Messrs . Thorowgood and Besley , V . and J . Figgins , and Caslon . At eight o ' clock , the chair was taken by Mr * Holborongh , who stated to the meeting that , if the redaction in the rate of wages proposed by the masters had been in reason , the strike would never have taken place ; but the fact was , that the masters of whom they complained now required ja reduction in the rate of wages in some respeotS equal to 75 per cent , under the pretence that ] they had greatly lowered

      their list of prices to the Master Printers All the reduction they had made to these did not exceed 25 per cent off the old ] book prices , while they reduced the allowance they made for old type from 6 d . to 3 d . per lb . Messrs . Wilson , of Edinburgh , sold at lower prices than the London Masters ; and yet could afford to give their men the old wages . He did not envy the masters' profits ; but when he saw them making { rapid fortunes , he really thought those that coiled for their advantage should share with them . Submission in some respects might be a virtue ; and , " though he for one did not approve of strikes , ye | submission here would only bring on more imposition . He concluded by-calling on Mr . Webb to move the first resolution , to the following effect : —

      " That it iB the opinion of this meeting that the workmen in the employ of Messrs . Figijins , Caslon , i Thorowgood and Besley , having submitted to a reduction of from ten to twenty per cent , on tho 1 st of July last , were fully justified in turning out against a further reduction of their wages , averaging on the whole from twenty-three \ to seventy-five per cent ., as proposed by their late employerB . " This speaker opened the ^ septate of ttw > prisonhouse" with a vengeance . He proved the masters ' profits , 1 nsomeitases , to beabove ~ £ 400 ' on £ lWof capital employed . He instanced the case of one master who begas only with a capital of £ 400 , retiring with a fortune of £ 80 , 000 , only having employed , during the majority ofjthe years he was in busineBSj ten casters ; while Messrs . Figgine employed forty now , with a net profit of £ 8 , 000 per annum on their labour !!! A Mr . Miller retired with a fortune of £ 200 , 000 . The cost of the

      materials was then very high , regnlns of antimony being often £ 18 where it was now but ops . per ton . Messrs . Thorowgood had published a statement of wages , so as to lead the public to believe their men had been well paid ; while tha fact was , that oven at the old prices a crack workman could [ not average more than 25 s . par week , for which his constitution was being daily sacrificed by the fumes ] of arsenic evolved from the furnace . No Benkfjt Society would ACCEPT A TTPB-FOUKDEH AS A MEMBER , their COHStilUtions being destroyed frequently after ten years ' labour . Yeg , here was a small body of men , yielding an immense profit to their employers , being sacrificed to a spirit of gain unequalled in the history of monopolies . Mr . Thorn concluded a long speech , in which he made statements proving more against the oupidity of the masters than our space will allow us to give ; and the resolution , after having been ably seconded by Mr . Herntage , was carried unanimously . >

      Mr . Barbrick moved the second resolution : " That the type founders of London having been for five weeks unable , by every reasonable means , to persuade Messrs . Thorownood and Co . to desist from their astounding reductions , now ; decm further appeal to them melees , and therefore turn to a higher and more merciful power—the working classes of London ; with whose generous assistance they are convinced that their object will soon be attained . " He said that some of the masters became overseers of the poor in order to get the unfortunate paupers into their employ at a reduced rate of wage . Mr Figgins told the men that " he cared not for them ; he must have his profits" ! \

      Mr . Bolwell seconded this resolution in a speech that elicited much applause . He alluded to the topics introduced by the previous speakers , and said that on prinoiple alono the working men of London should support this strike . If so ; small a body of men as the type founders couid not in this instance find support , he thought little of the trades of London . They had dono their duty nobly on former occasion , —let them do bo now . He thought it needed no great power of oratory to induce them to come forward . Of all oppressive reductions he ever heard

      this was the basest . Did the arietodrcydareto use the working millions as these middlejclass tyrants had dons ? Producers of wealth ! how ! are you treated ? Mechanics by thousands walk the . streets starvipg , or bog their way as vagrants through the land . The last resource of the working man now is the crutch , or the poor house . Would this be the case if they all endeavoured to do each other justice 1 They must unite . Apathy how was the worsl ; of criminalities . Wh ^ n just complaints are useless , because unheeded , the fault lies only at his door who refuses to sympathise and to assist . .

      Mjr . Killingbick supported the resolution , which was carried with applause , when Mr . Mantz read the third resolution , viz ., ' That this meeting , knawipg from bitter experience , that weakhjand capital have ever . waged with labour an unjust cruel war , pledges itself to support the type founders to the utmost extent in their power , in their just resistance to the heartless oppression of their masters ; and in order to biieak up this monopoly deem it advisable that the workmen publish a statement of the profits of tfieir employers , and thus offer an opportunity to men of capWal to embark in this lucrative trade . " This

      speaker discanted at great length oil the remarks of the previous ones—calling on the meeting at the same' time to open their pursea is well as their hearts : for sympathy was a poor thing without relief . He had seen at Stockport Jiving men feeding on the putrid carcase of an ox : andihe conjured the meeting to look to themselves in these strikes ; or his might , come to pa ^ s in London The trades must unite to assist each other , ana he suggested the formauos of a committee , independent of the typ ^ founders present , for that i purpose . The masterB wanted to overflow the trade with human competition , so that they [ might get their work done at starvation-wages . j

      Mr . M'DoNAtD seconded the last resolution , facetiously remarking on the sudden flights of reporters who , with the single exception of that for the North em Star , had left the meeting . He advised them not to trnst the press—( A . voice in the crowd * The Northern Star ") . That was the people's own paper , and he knew they would always find it so—( oheers ) On the Stonemasons Strike , £ 3 , 000 out of the £ 6 , 000 expended , had been furnished by the trades of London ; and he trusted the type-foundera would create a like sympathy iu their behalf . j

      After a few observations from Messrs . Cowan , MJFrederic , Carter , and others , this resolution received the assent of thp meeting ; and thanks having been voted to the Chairman tor his able conduct in the chair , it was dissolved . : 1

      THE LETTER FOUNDERS OF LONDON , TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL .

      We have had numberless difficulties to contend with during our present resistance to one of the moat enormous rednctions ever known to bo proposed to any body of the working classes , and which , we believe , would only be concocted by men possessing no feeling for their workmen , or union workhouse guardians ; too many of whom , ( and two of our oppressoks do , or did belong , to the latter body ) at all times , show but little sympathy to the unfortunate workmen under their charge . On one- of these employers being remonstrated witn on . the injustice of his conduct , and that , the men would not be able to support their families , &o ., he abruptly replied , that that was nothing to him , for he would have Wa profits .

      There ie one of the difficulties wbicb more particularly requires your attention to , because it has emanated from parties iTborowgood and Besley , > whom we never believed capable of rtsorting to such malignant and insidious conduct , with an intention to counteract our appears to yon for sympathy and assistance ; and thereby to have us more completely in their unmerciful gras PThey have bad the hardihood to circulate a printed handbill , beginning thus : — " An attempt naming been inacie Bi' SOME of the workmen employed in Home of the principal London Type Foundries to excite the commisoeration of their fellow-workmen In the various trades in the Metropolis , BY GROSS STATEMENTS , AS TO THE bate op wages .

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION—Mondat . _ Since the commencement of the Repeal Ai » cda > tion , rapid and formidable as has beea its proa t < -59 , there has not beea so much excitement at any previous meeting as that held to-day . This was owing to the intense anxiety respecting the course which Mr . O'Connell would pursue in reference to , the declaration of ministers on the Repeal Afc : ia , Joa in the Queen ' s speech . Before twelve o ' clock , the hoar fixed for the meeting , the Corn Exchange was crowed to excess . . !

      The chair was taken by G . P . Fogaety , Iv ^ ., of Castle Fogarty , county ot Tipperary . Mr . Stkele said that as it had been de ' ermiuadl by a vote of this Association to give an order to Mr . Hogan forthwith to execute a statue of O'Consell , the only question that rema ned was whether tha great father of his country should be ro ; 'w *« ji , ^ 4 presiding at Tara , or as he appeared at MrJsow , When uttering a fiery defiance at I * eel and Wellington in reply to their threat to attack the people of / »

      Ireland . The Irish people , despised the threats ef the puppy Peel , and the bloody old Indian Sesr ^ y —Wellington ( groans and cheers ) . Mr . Hoinn preferred to execute the statue in the latter attitude , and therefore he ( Mr . Steele ) would move that this Association give its approval to the megestion . On the base of the statue shonld !¦<> the memorable words uttered by the liberator on ; at occasion— " They may trample upon me ; but it t ^ all not be on my living body , but on my corpse . "

      The motion having been seconded by Mr . Srrrr , of Edinburgh , passed with acclamation . Owing to tho crowded state of the room , a x >» & deal of confusion-took place while the Sacreiiry was clearing the reporters table of members v-ho > sought accommodation at it . Mr . Rehxt , T . C ., said he was glad to s ? e the m so much incommoded in cousequenoe of the cr wdad Btate of the room , for it proved that the rkh . '« us speeoh reported to have been spoken by the Q . u i . n had not cowed the people of Ireland —( loud crn ~ of " It never will—it never shall ") .

      Sir . John O'Conneli ,, in explanation of thi- observation of Mr . Railly , begged to say that t ! ny distinctly recognised the fact that the Queen ivs . ia a position of coercion ; ( hear , hear)—that the ficwoli in question was her ministers' and not her own—( cheers ) . She was under the constitutional cocrc » a of her ministry , supported by a majority of cie present house of Parliament , and was obli . 1 to umk . fi that speech . It was worthy of remark . . ,.. . wevcr , t , hat Peel could not induce her to use a ay stronger phrase than the miik-and- water one of " deep , concern " ( hear , hear ) . At half-past one o ' clock , Mr . O'Counell en •*! the meeting , amidst the most enthusiastic accusations .

      Mr . O'Connell said that , he observed h tha Freeman's Journal of that morning , a letter J \ , ui a gentleman who reports for the Times . He hac' ve . t . vi that letter with the greatest attention and . with much pleasure . He liked bath the tone and \ . &r : wt of it ( hear , hear ) . Its author had asserted him . *\ t with the dignity of a gentleman , and without tha slightest ill-feeling or anything inconsistent w . cb . tho strictest propriety , whilst he had convinced him ( Mr . O'Gonuell ) that , he was in the wrong ( hr ^ r , hear ) , . tie had suddenly asserted that f ; ' ' - ' - ' cmeu who reported should be totally neutral ; oaf , if he had rtfleeted fora moment , he would havereme . nbered that reporters act also as private

      corrvavndents for newspapers all over the world ; and wctsid , of course , have seen that he bad totally forgot t . oa one part . of their duty . He wished , therefore , to observe , that he considered the neutrality of reporters to be confined to the reporting of the proce xb eg of public meetings ; and so long as they repined those proceedings fairly they were entitled to ovry aid and assistance which could be afforded thrm . They were the most useful class of the public ia perpetuating sentiments which would otherw-u ba evanescent and parish with the voice of the ap ? . aket who uttered them ( hear , hear ) . He had o . iiv to repeat that he was in the wrong , and the gentl . 1 ^* 11 , to whose letter he referred , was in the right ( chec-j s ) .

      Mr . Rat read a letter from the Repeal Assoc ^ -aon of Louisiana , United States , inclining a remit ;»» , ce of £ 126 6 s . lOd . . Mr . O'Connell spoke in the warmest terms > J the subscribers in Louisiana , and moved that the l <; Uer should be inserted on the minutes . Mr . John O'Connrll read a letter from the Repealers of Ohio—the Repeal Association of Cin ; un « nati ^ enolosing a remittance of £ 113-Kcheers ) . The writer seated that slavery does not exist in the S ? ate of Ohio , but went on to assert the difficulties ot £

      afctmg rid of the system , which was in accordance "vith the compact entered iato at the union , and could not be abolished without violating the fundamental iawa and the national oompaot of the United States . With these sentiments , the letter stated that tha Kepealers of Ohio had seen with surprise the speech of Mr . O'Connell . That epefech was powerful Wad eloquent , but they totally dissented from his ; argui menta . They were free fronvslavery if Ohio t t > utueyertheleBg ; they " degpigsdihe a . hn \ itionU&ft . " rw » letter "' concluded T > y expressing sympathy "IP ? tna wrongs of Ireland .

      Mr . O'Conneli . observed that slavery did . noi exist in Ohio , and they could not , therefore , ot ic cfc to receive the money transmitted . He strong ! j condemned the sentiments expressed in this letter ia defence , of slavery . The attacks upon the Ao » litioniats were mere trash and nonsense ; and he despised the attempt to mitigate the horrors of sis ary by men who boa 3 ted that thoir ovvn state w ; - •• , ires from the stain and the disgrace . It was his i : n . ; n « tion to move that this letter from Ohio sho-ild be referred to the committee , in order that a drtaied answer should be returned . He denied that man couid b , o the property of his fellow man —( loud

      oheers ) . Hs had no compassion for the man vv ' iosa property was negroes . Reverse the picture , and suppose that the yellow American Were the property of the black negro—who would have compassion foe tho slave-holding negro —( cheers ) . > This document , which asserted much that was untrue , and cone : iied much of the truth , should be met promptly an-i in detail . Let Ireland but obtain her legislative independence , and they would have missionaries preaching freedom in every region where slavery degraded the human race—( oheers ) . Mr . O'Conneil concluded by moving that the letter from Ohio be referred to the committee . —Carried .

      A contribution of £ 270 was handed in from Nawfouadland , and a vote of thanks was passed to Or . Fleming , the Roman Catholic Bishop of Ihe Lslaud f for his exertion 3 in support of Repeal . _ Several communications were read , in one of which was a statement to the effect that the writer w : * s induced to send in his subscription by the iu ; i-aed threats in tho Queen ' s Speech . Mr . O'Connell Baid that this speech wa » well described by tho Morning Chronicle , which sai i that it deserved to be designated as the essence of stut-i : 2 ity and insolence —( hear , hear , hear ) . That speech vaa not a royal authority , as the writer of the lector referred to suemed to think . It was a Minutrrial

      authority only , and as such should it be treatsd—( hear , hear ) . Mr . O'Connell then proceeded to address the meeting in reference to his plan for reorganizing the Irish Parliament . He said it was wrong , as stated in- the Times , that the English Houso of Lords had at all times judicial authority over the Irish Lords and Commons . It had such authority up to 1782 , but in that year the great Act ot Settlement was passed , which recognised the sudepenctenee of the judicial authority of Ireland . In the Act for repealing the Union this principle bhould be recognised . His plan for the reorganization of the Irish Parliament had nothing whatever to do wiih the next step—the Preservative Assoc z'ioa . Full details were necessary before that Association should be formed . He was glad to be enabled tv say

      that already a large number of gentlemen of the iirsfc respectability were ready to become Candida wf for seats in the " Preservative Association . ** He \ vt < uld not propose the plan of that Association ur ,-ii he bad it su thoroughly arranged as to be strictly v ?; uhin , the tetter of the law . All penal Acts of Parliament afil-cting the liberty of the people efaoold onjy ba obeyed according to their strict letter . H .- included by moving that district Repeal Wardens should be appointed for the ; two first towns on in . libt which are to return members to the Irish Parhaewnt , namely , Arkiotv and Ardee . These district Wardens will be required . to make out lists of all the householders—ail the married men ; in short , of all tb-j persons who will be qualified to vote for representatives under the new Irish Constitution .

      THB QUJSBN ' S SPEECH . Mr . O'Connfll said , " that from the Importance of the topics introduced in the Queen ' s speech , ir was thought necessary to come to their consideration with all possible deliberation , and from the lateness of the hour , he thought it the better course to iefer any remarks upon them until to-morrow ; bu * he could not help observing that that which was called the Queen ' s speech was the Minister ' s speach . < L ^ ' hear- } It "was no more-the Queen ' s than hia ( Mr . O'Connell ' s ) . The sentiments were those of the Ministry , and this he wished to ba distinctly understood in Ireland , as he desired to counteract that incitement to disaffection which that speech was calculated to produce . He did not think that

      a more traitorous proceeding Was ever adopted by any Ministry to its Sovereign than that speeoh—a proceeding more likely to estrange from the crown the love of the people could not be designed . It exhibited on the part of the Ministry a degree of profligacy , that , base as he believed them to be , ha did not believe them capable of exhibiting . ( Hear . > The Irish people were accused of being disaffected and discontented . He denied that they were disaffected , but he admitted they were discontented , and it would be his duty to show to-morrow that if they were not discontented , they would be the most degraded of human beings . ( Cheers . ) He then moved that the meeting adjourn till to-morrow , at two o ' clock , which was adopted . The week ' s rent was announced to be £ 1 , 330 7 s . 46 * ^ and the meeting separated .
