TO THE ENGLISH TTOKKING CLASSES . My Deak FbiexS ^ -I UJ * the Times * nd C / iromWene ^ papersliave taken the above -quotation as the basis of their support of the Woody manslaug htering butcher and vagabond Hatxau who unfortunately escaped that just punishment to -which he was justly entitled , when , as a foreigner , and introduced by a Jew—a member of the English Parliament- ^ - he went to visit the brewery of Messrs . Bakclay , Pebkins , and Co . These , thank God ; are the only two papers that justify the
barbarity of that blood y ruffian ; and wh y do they do so ? Because they live upon the support of factions . The Chronicle of Friday last informs us , that the atrocities perpetrated by this ferocious ruffian were done by the Imperial order of his monarch . Does not this prove to you that such organs would impress the belief upon the national mind that a man is a mere tool—that his feelings , his humanity and character , are the property of his ruler ? But , thank God , although the brave coalheavers , draymen , carters , and working men of London , have themselves submitted to the tyranny of the Press—thank God , I say , that they did exhibit their English p luck and spirit when the hairy devil , introduced by Baron Eothschild , thus insulted their country .
The Chronicle of Wednesday informs ns , ihat although Lord ToEBEfGiON has been dismissed from her Majesty ' s service for his cruelty to the Ceylonese , that yet Mr . Wakd , formerly Member for Sheffield , and now Governor of the Ionian Islands , has been lauded by Earl Gkey for the barbarous , brutal , atrocious , and uncalled-for murders , and other cruelties , that he has committed upon many people who were innocent . And then , the Chronicle tell us that because Lord Tortosgtos and "Wakd , upon their return to their own country , may receive a different reception to that given to the Austrian man-eater , that there was no justification for insulting him .
I have told yon before , and I repeat it now , that if the ministry of this country was to appoint a female butcher , with a salary of ten thousand a year , and if her office was to be , to slaughter any girl , who was exactly five feet three inches high , ( Venus' height , as it is called ) , if she had blue eyes , auburn hair , an acquiline nose , lovely features , and majestic no-ure , we should have manv noble ladies contendingfortheDISTINGtriSHED OFFICE . And what must the reader think—nay , must
not his very blood boil—when he reflects upon a monster brute ordering modest women to be stripped naked and flogged to death , perhaps , in the presence of their friends and relatives ? But then those papers tell us that the Hungarians perpetrated similar acts ? Perhaps they did ; but their ' s were acts to which they were driven , by fury , to seek satisfaction for the more atrocious acts that were committed upon their countrymen and women by the Austrian butcher .
I am never afraid to speak my sentiments openly upon such a subject , when I recollect that a countryman of my own had a spit driven through his body , and was roasted alive , and eaten by the loyal subjects of his Majesty Geokge IIL ; and when I recollect that another of my countrymen was ridden to death in the streets of Naas , by a Hessian with his long spurs . ^ Neither the Times , nor the Chronicle , would reprobate such acts as those , while they apply their columns to the justification of an infernal butcher .
Now , many who will read my letter may Lave never seen me , and may have formed their notion of my character from the Press ; but I nou * swear , before high heaven , that I would risk my life to save a man—and more especially a woman or a little child—from being tortured to death . Reader , it is my pride and my glory to say , that I never committed a cruel act in my life , even upon a dumb animal or an insect ; and yet , if I had been at Barclay's Brewery when the Austrian blood-sucking badger made his appearance there , I feel confident that I should have risked my life in taking satisfaction for his barbarous atrocities .
I shall conclude this portion of my letter by offering my best thanks to the brave Englishmen , for the manifestion of their courage and their attempt to seek satisfaction for the barbarisms committed upon their fellow-creatures by the Austrian " HYENA , " My friends , I will now give you a clear and unmistakeable definition of the probity , the honour , the integritv » and veracity of the Press . While the " SPECIAL CONSTABLE PRESIDENT" was making his tour in the rural districts of France , the traveller for the Times reported his reception as being most enthusiastic , the fact being that the general cry was " Fire la Republique "—a cry which , extraordinary to say , was considered
offensive to the ears of the PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC . However—unfortunately for the Pbesidexi and for the limes , but fortunatelv for the people—when his EXPECTANT MAJESTY visited Cherbourg , a seaport town , the harbour was covered with English yachts , crammed with English noblemen , gentlemen , and sailors , to witness the gorgeous reception of his Majesty in embryo ; but , to the great astonishment of the English magnates , and no doubt to his Majesty , the universal cry was " Vive la JSepubliquel" So it is stated , by the Times . But wny is it so ? Because the Times knew that , although it could circulate any fabrication of its manufacturing traveller , whether true or false , that it could not circulate that which
thousands of Englishmen would know to be false . This fellow has been traversing the king-• dom with the view of understanding whether it would be safe to step into his uncle's boots , and become Emperor of France ; he is , no 4 oubt , in anticipation of the cordial support and co-operation of the Russian Bear ; while 2 trust that the French people are too brave , too determined , and too resolute , to allow their rights to be destroyed by such a nincompoop .
Englishmen ! I wish to prepare your minds for the coming struggle , and rely upon it that the Legitimists and ether parties in France , are usin g the Special Constable as a mere puppet ; and if England does not assist him when the struggle comes you' will see such a conflict between the two countries as JEngland never witnessed before ; and it is for that contest that I wish to prepare you ; and let me conclude with the words of

Public Meetings Approving Of The Hearty ...
MEETING OF FRATERNAL DEMOCRATS . On Tuesday , night , a meeting of Fraternal Democrats was held at Farringdon Hall , Snow-hill , for the purpose of " taking into consideration the noble conduct of the workmen employed at Barclay nnd Perkins's brewery , in having given expression to the feeling of detestation felt towards the assassin and woman-flogger , Haynau , by all true Englishmen . '' Before eight o'clock , the hour announced for taking the chair , the hall was crowded . A number of workmen , wearing straw hats and smock frocks , and evidently in the situation of draymen and brewers' labourers , occupied the centre of the hall .
Mr . J . Fettie was called to the chair , and proposed that a Hungarian should open the proceedings with a song . The Hungarian accordingl y sang the Italian " Marseillaise , " which was received with applause . The placard calling tho meeting was then read , the mention of the workmen at Barclay « nd Perkins ' s being received with cheers , and that of Haynau with groans . The Chairman then said the subject they were met to consider had little in its intrinsic merits to call forth the loud and vehement sentiment that had been echoed throughout the country ; but the conduct of the workmen who had so nobly given expression to their feelings carried with it an influence on the Continent far disproportionate to the simple act they had performed . ( Cheers . ) It was ,
therefore , of more importance than at first might be imagined ; but that point would he explained to the meeting by the speakers who would follow him . They had met there not only to approve the conduct of the workmen , but to declare , after calm thought and deliberation , that they were ready to hack their conduct and accept it as the expression of their own heartfelt sentiments . ( Loud cheers . ) They might be asked why they went so far abroad to find objects of sympathy as Hungary ; but Byron , England's poet and England ' s pride , had nobly denounced every despot in Europe ; and in the revolutions of 1848 , Scotchmen , Englishmen , and Irishmen had perished at the barricades in defence of Polish , Hungarian , and Italian liberties . ( Cheers . ) He would . now call upon Mr ; Harney to read some correspondence .
Mr . Harsey then read letters of apology for nonattendance from Mr . Kydd , Mr . Massey , and Mr . Holyoake ; after which , Mr . Daniel William uuffey rose to propose the first resolution . Ho said they were met there not only to congratulate their Jellow workmen in the employ of Barclay , and Perkinsj but tole £ tlie bravo Hungarians know that they sympathised with them in reprobating the cruelties perpetrated by that cruel monster Haynau —( groans)—on their daughters and sons . What could he thought of the government of this country even , who must have well known that it was the intention of such a monster to pollute our soil ? ( Cheers . ) But he rejoiced that the Chartist advocates who had been
imprisoned had not suffered . in vain . The principles of humanity and the hatred of tyranny were imbibed by their fellow countrymen generally throughout the length and breadth of the land ; and although it might be thought by the tyrants of this country who goaded the working classes—who sucked them like leeches , ' and then caused them to be brutally and gradually starved in the bastiles—although they might think that the principles of democracy had not gained ground , he felt proud in letting " them know—and a portion of their countrymen had also just let them know—that those who were considered the scum of the earth—those whom they treated and . reviled as dogs , as the canaille and outcasts of societv—that those men , the brave men that
Barclay and Perkins employ , " knew how to treat a monster who will ill-use , aye , and persecute even to death , lovely woman . ( Cheers . ) He knew they would keep order—ho had no fear on that score , because they were men who had the soul of freedom within them , and they knew when it was necessary to keep order , and also when it was necessary to show monsters that they loathed them . The resolution he had to propose was ;— " That all the people of the earth are brethren . That the infliction of tyranny and cruelty in any country is an outrage to all nations . That the Italians and Hungarians command the sympathy , and their Austrian oppressors the hatred , of the people of the United Kingdom ; that foremost amongst the Austrian tyrants of Italy
and chief amongst the Austrian scourges of Hungary stands Marshal Haynau , the military murderer , executioner , and woman-flogger —( groans)—that the aforesaid Marshal Haynau is the enemy of the human race , outlawed by the people of the world , and amenable to popular justice ; and that , therefore , the humiliating punishment upon that miscreant on the occasion of his visit to Barclay and Perkins ' s brewery was honourable and praiseworthy to all who were the administrators thereof ; and this meeting declares that the brewery workmen and the high-spirited men and women who assisted them in chastising the Austrian assassin deserve well of their country , and are entitled to the thanks of the friends of freedom and justice
throughout the world . " ( Cheers . ) Now , what were some of the cruelties this human butcher had been guilty of ? He would not state them from word of mouth " , but just read it from the Dispatch ; and although some of the names he was not scholar enough to pronounce , yet he hoped they would take the word for the deed . " It would just open their eyes to a tithe of the atrocities that inhuman and bloodstained monster had perpetrated , and show every man who had a heart to feel , and a tongue to make that feeling known to others , that the wretch had only been chastised in the way he deserved . He , for one , felt happy he had not been sent to " that bourne whence no traveller returns "—he was
happyhe still lived pronounced a recreant and a coward by every man who has a tongue to speak ; and for why ? Because , remember , this monster , when he was surrounded by hordes of assassins , could cause tho men and women who fought for their beloved country to be shot and hung—to have their flesh whipped from their bare backs , and all the cruelties that even devils out of hell could think of perpetrating were perpetrated by that monster . ( Groans . ) Therefore , he was glad ho lived , that the world might pronounce him to be what he was—a dastard and a coward . Had Haynau been a brave man , he would have said , " I will fight for my life 80 long as I have
life" Come one , come all ; sooner shall fly " The brewhouse from its site than I . " But no , he fled ; this cur , this dastard , this recreant , he turned his back to the men who were chastising him for bis atrocities , and they found him like a babe weeping aud crying for mercy . ( Cheers . ) Yesterday , the Jloming Chronicle stated that if Barclay and Perkins did not institute an inquiry government must . ( " Ob , oh , " and hisses . ) flow , it had been represented , but he would not vouch for the truth of it , that that paper belonged to Rothschild , who was the friend of this dastardly misthink of
creant . ( Groans . ) Well , what did they such a man as Rothschild as a member for tho City , who talked of "My friend , General Haynau ? ( Groans . ) And what , too , did they think of Cobden himself ? Remember , Cobden was sitting at the Peace Congress when this monster dared to show his face and sit at the back of him ? Now , if any man valued himself as a man and a lover of justice , would he have allowed such a monster as that to contaminate any room or any place in which he was ? ( A voice : " He should have been turned out . " ) But what kind of friends of peace must thev have been who , when they found they baa a

any of the men , other brewers are . ready to employ them ; and we of this meeting will pledge ourselves , if such is the case , to support those brewers , whoever they are , who take these men . ( Loudcheers . ) Lot this meeting , then , tell their Italian and Hungarian friends that wo sympathise with the friends of freedom who suffer throughout the world ; and let the monster Haynau from this time forth hide his head ; ana not show where he screens himself , or I doubt not but that human nature will have found itself so outraged by him , that ho will be hunted throughout the world by those who remembered that many of their brethren ' s , his ' victims , blood had been soaked by mother earth ; and let him take refuge in the only place fitting for himnamely , the depths of hell . ( Loud cheers . ) I will not take up your time further , but merely say , I cordially propose the resolution I have alread y read to you .
Mr . Julian Harney seconded tho resolution . Before speaking to the resolution , he wished to make an announcement for tho chairman . He hoped those who had not contributed towards defraying the expenses of the meeting on entering tho room would do so if they were able on leaving it , because if any surplus was obtained it would go for the benefit of their friends and brethren , the Polish and Hungarian exiles . The resolution began by declaring . that all men were brethren . Now that was a cheering feature in modern democracy and republicanism . The republicans of old confined their patriotism to their native land , but now they sympathised with other countries . They were told that Jesus preached tho gospel of fraternity , but if
it was preached by him , it had certainly been reserved for the . men of the present day to practice that preaching . And who was it that set about its practice ? . Not the high and mighty nobles of the land—not even the bishops nor the clergy of any denomination—not the highly respectable and moral classes of the country—no ; it had been reserved for the proscribed , denounced , persecuted , and execrated party commonly denominated the Red Republicans , to carry out the great doctrine of Jesus Christ . ( Cheers . ) And theae men did not confine their aspirations to mere speqeh-making . They were ever ready to shed their blood in the cause of freedom and for the overthrow of tyranny ! The assassination of the Roman Republic was the
darkest page in France s history ; yet , to her honour bo it spoken , when her armies marched to the gates of Rome , there were Frenchmen who fought against their own countrymen , and on the side of the Romans , because they preferred right before their country ; and they did nobly and well , And bo said , under like circumstances , Englishmen would do the same . ( Cheers . ) When the news reached England of a British army having been destroyed in the defiles of Afghanistan , thousands of Englishmen rejoiced , because the war carried on by Akhbar Khan was as holy a crusade as that headed by Tell against Austria , or that waged by tho Greeks against the Persians , the invaders of their fatherland , ( Cheers . ) " All men were brethren ; " but
in the list he did not include Nicholas of Russia , nor the hyona Haynau , nor the perjured , lying traitor , the King of Prussia . ( Cheers . ) He drew a distinction between those who were worthy of the name , and those whose diabolical crimes had outraged human nature . Marshal Haynau's enormities had not been confined to Hungary . When one ot the cities of Northern Italy rose for the independence of that country , it held out , although without any materiel of war , against the Austrian troops for an entire fortnight ; and when the fortress was reduced , what was the conduct of Marshall Haynau towards its brave defenders ? [ Mr . Harney then quoted a passage from a morning contemporary in support of his assertions , and also
referred to the execution of Count Batthyani , and then proceeded . ] Was not such a monster , then , truly an enemy to the human race ? and ; like the tameless tiger , ought he not to be shot down or disposed of in any way that would prevent him from doing injury to mankind ? ( Cheers . ) There were two species of hyenas , but they could not call Hyena Haynau a Jaughiug hyena , unless it was that the brewers' men made him laugh on the other side of his face . ( Cheers and laughter . ) But it appeared to him , from what was stated in tho papers , that he was rather a " crying hyena " than a laughing one . ( Renewed laughter . ) If the brewers' men deserved anything from the friends of Haynau , it was a vote of thanks for their moderation ; and if they
deserved anything from his enemies , it was a vote of censure for not doing more . ( Hear , hear . ) However , he was not dissatisfied with what they had done . As ' the general had not had an opportunity of drinking much of Barclay and Perkins ' s stout , if they had given him a dip in the vat , and left him to get out as best he could , they would have deserved the applause of the human race . [ A Voice : " They gave him a dip in the dust-hole . " ] That was rather a dry job ; they should have given him a wetting , and if the vat . was not convenient , they might have tried that much bigger vat , the Thames . ( Cheers , and renewed laughter . ) lie had to congratulate them that there was such a thing in tho world yet as popular justice ; because they seldom
obtained justice in the courts to which they were told to go for it . ( Hear , hoar . ) Indeed , no court was in existence to try such enemies to mankind ; and , therefore , it reverted to the people to institute their own couvt , and execute lustice on him and such as him . ¦ But there were base sycophants of the press—base scoundrels of the press—the tools of Austria and Russia ; and ono of them had been in the pay of Louis Napoleon to destroy the'Roman Republic . These un-English , these unmanly , these concealed , masked anonymous assasssins , who used the pen only because they could not use the dagger , and who would dare to use the dagger if they dared , and if it paid better than the pen—these ruffians were greater obstacles in
the path of human improvement and progression than all the armies on the face of the earth . ( Cheers . ) These despicable-ruffians , who durst not stand before them that night and declare their sentiments , had dared to call the good highspirited men ot Barclay and Perkins ' s brewery cowards and ruffians , who had brought disgrace and contempt upon England . He would tell these miserable quill-drivers that they lie . ( Loud cheers . ) He would tell the editor of the Times that if he would come forth and pit himself against any one of these brewer ' s draymen , he would very soon find if they were cowards or not . ( Cheers and laughter . ) Now , with regard to the threatened inquiry , the example of Coomhe and Delnfield , when the trades' unions made that firm succumb to their workmen many years ago , would not be lost upon Messrs . Barclay and Perkins ,, The partners of
tnat nrm might he very . rich , but they could not afford to lose their entire fortune ; and ho would promh-e them that if for doing justice to this barbarous miscreant one solitary man lost his employment , or tvas sent to prison , that such a ferment should be created throughout the metropolis and the country as would induce every consumer of tho drinks they . manufacturer to abandon their use until that man was re-instated . ( Loud cheers . ) He could assure them that that would not he the last meeting on this subject ; if necessary they would hold meetings in every locality in tho metropolis , and if they could not got halls for the purpose they would meet in the open air . ' ( Renewed cheers . ) But in any case they would raise such a subscription , if necessary , as would defend any of the men who might bearrested , and support their families whilst they might suffer for inflicting so just a retributive sentence . ( Cheers . ) The French " Marsellaise" was then sung by a Polish refugee , the entire meeting joining in ohorua in English ,

( Laughter . ) So pleased were the Hungarians and Poles that sixteen of them had come a considerable distance to visit tho scene where tho occurrence took place . He had made it his business to inquire into these matters ' . The landlord and his wife denied that they gave this wretch any sympathy at all . It ran through the papers that Mrs . Benfiold protected him .. She denied it , and said he frightened her ; she took him for a madman . Mr . Brown concluded by announcing a concert at the George , for the benefit of the men and women whom Ilavnau had driven from
their native land . An English version of Jfouvir pour la , patrie was then sung , and Mr . Osbokke next addressed the . meeting . He pointed to tho same ultimate destination for that " incarnate fiend" Marshal Haynau as sonie ' previous speakers . He commended Barclay and Perkins ' s men -for what they had done , but suggested that if they had sent Haynau into . eternity they would have done good to mankind , that the Marshal . might have kept the keys of that place to which it was said he ought to have gone , and have made ready- a place for his Royal master . The resolution was then put , and carried unanimously .
Mr . Julian Haknkt , in moving thanks to the chairman , adverted to the list of executions by tho Hungarians mentioned in the Times of that day . He disputed its accuracy , but reckoned the proceedings justifiable , as three-fourths of the persons executed were spies or otherwise doing the infamous work of the Austrian Government . After three groans far Haynau , and throe groans for the Times and Morning Chronicle , three cheers for Kossuth and Hungary , three cheers for the glorious French Republicans , three cheers for the German , Italian , and Polish patriots , and an equal number given , with groat enthusiasm ,. for Barclay and Perkins ' s workmen , the meeting separated .

TO THE WOEKING CLASSES . Mr Friends , How often have I told you that if the Land was locked up to day I would not give a penny for the Charter to-morrow ? and to show you that " the folly of to day may be the wisdom of the morrow , " let me call your strictest attention to the following able article , extracted from the Weekly Dispatch of last week . Here is the article , aud I pray you to read it attentively . By our legislation the national proportions ot society have been disturbed ; the numbers who produce clothing having been increased , and those who produce food reduced . That is nn unhealthy , even a dangerous state . We have done our best to expose it We desire to have greater
reciprocations of home custom and neighbourly exchange We do not like the bread of millions to hanj ; upon the escapcofthe cotton plant from a morning ' s frost , or the health of worms and mulberry trees , and the absence of rebellions and revolutions in Italy . The equilibrium of industrial productiveness should be restored to nature ' s adjustment . There should be more tillage , more tillers , more sturdy yeomen and independent freeholders . The right arm of the nation is crippled , when the soil and its husbandry are made secondary to spinning shirts and weaving petticoa * a , _ There is e r mine _ of wealthy in the soil—El Dorado in the sp ^ e-iorperfect California in house feeding . Spade husbandry is no longer a speculation . Honest Jack Siltett preaches upon it from the text of experience . Its entire success is a Great Fact of infinite significancy . He is more than a labourer . He is an archetype of a universal capability . He is the apostle , the model , the living
testimony and positive proof of the infinitely significant truth , without genius , more than an average intellect , or any that quality except such as is consciously within reach of the attainment of the most ordinary endeavour , an Englishman , by his spade and perseverance , may keep a house over his head , a flitch in the chimney ^ and a loaf , a lump of butter , and a cheese in the cupboard , for himself and his family , upon the produce of two acres of land , all laboured entirely by himself . He tells us that he was bred a grocer and draparat Sasmundam , in Suffolk . He was afterwards a shopman in London and Birmingham—and set up as a general shopkeeper in a country village , losing money for six years in that pursuit . He was a . draper in London for some time , and afterwards carried on business at Kelsale , without any better success . Such were an education and habits as much opposed , asitis easy to conceive , to agricultural pursuits . So other noviciate than this had he for the apparently desperate
experiment of buying two acres of land at the large price of £ 1-5 per acre , equal to £ 6 5 s . of annual rent , and maintaining a town-bred family by the spade . "Previous . " observes he , " to my beginning my operation on this piece of land , I had never dug a rood of ground before in my life ; indeed , I was so entirely ignorant of all matters relative to husbandry , that I did not even know the various seeds . " He details honestly and faithmUy his whole plan of operation . Nothing was done in a comer . Thousands went to see the living incarnation of a great industrial truth . " The foUowing , " he continues , "ha correct estimate of the produce sold after family ' s consumption , keeping two cows , fattening one calf and rearing one , and fattening two piss , besides reserving seeds for next year ' s cropping . The calf that I fatted weighed nine stone , of Hlbs . to the stone , at seven weeks old , which I had killed in the house , and sold among my friends and neighbours . The price I made of it was 7 d . ptr pound , or Ss . 2 d . per stone of 14 lbs .

Here is a plain , persevering , but wholly uninitiated man , who , out of two acres of land , very highly rented , feeds his whole family abundantly , pays all outgoings , including heavy house rent , rates and taxos , and nets a profit of £ 5113 . lOd . per annum . Observe he does not live near a large town , he possesses no extraordinary advantages , commands no pet prices ; but is enabled by his own labour oh two acres of land to contribute £ 51 per annum to the manufactures and taxation of the country after fully supplying his whole family from the surplus produced .
Calculating the land of these islands cultivated and cultivable at sixty millions of acres , and given to each family two and a half times as much as honest John Sillett ' s share , or five acres each , there would be an pie provision for twelve millions of families or sixty millions of souls , capable of producing a net profit income of £ 612 , 000 , 000 per annum . But if we assume the arrangement of society according to its natural adjustments , and dedicate the industry of half the population to manufactures and commerce , then there would be ten acres for each agricultural family , and if tliev netted only as much out of ten as Sillett does out of two , they would still have £ 306 , 000 . 000 of a surplus wherewith to become the cmstomers of their trading fellow-citizens , and to relieve litem of the half of the national burthens besides . In such an employment as
this , man developcs his best and higi est faculties , and ef fectually castigates his peccant humours and graver vices . From such a class would be drawn thenoblest constituency in the world—freemen accustomed to habits of self-command and industry , and trained in the difficult duty of being their own masters . The infinitely precious labours of Air . Charles Pearson , late member for Lambeth , have furnished us with a mass of evidence incidental to this subject , which has left his country largely his debtor . We see some serious attempt to reclaim Dartmoor by spade husbandry of convicts is in course of preparation . Under the able management of Mr . H . Callender , accountant in Edinburgh , the peasantry of Ireland have , on a farm in Gahvay ,
successfully worked out tho agricultural problem we have held up for solution ; and we observe an Industrial School Farm for bujs alone has been for some time in operetion at Graigie , near Perth , which already has become self-supporting . In truth , such are our capabilities that , in place of fetinjj an importing , we might become an exporting country for farm produce , and he independent of foreign custom for our manufactures , by rearing up a peasantry rich enough to find a market for every yard of cloth we can produce . The career of improvement is being initiated in Ire-land by Baron Kichards aud the auctioneer ' s hammer ; and we trust that this little leaven of common sense will at last leaven the whole lump of our legislation in reference to the tenure and transfer of the soil .
! Now , reader , from the above you will learn , that England , if her land was profitahly and justly cultivated , would he able to support sixty millions of souls , and produce a profit
of SIX HTJNDKED AND TWELVE MILLIONS ANNUALLY : and , that if half the population was applied to manufactures and commerce , there would he ten acres for each agricultural family ; and if they netted only as much out of ten acres as Sillett does out of two , they would still have THREE
HUNDRED AND SIX MILLIONS of a surplus , wherewith to become the customers of their trading fellow citizens , and to relieve them of the half of the national burthens besides . Now , how often hare I told you , that the Land never would be cultivated , so long as the landlord measured its value by political patronage , and so long a ? the employer could make his profit by a reduction of wages in the competitive labour market ? I have told you , but I will repeat it again , that England has a population of three hundred to a square mile ; Ireland of two hundred and fifty ; and Scotland of one hundred ; while the English , Irish ,
and Scotch , are importingforeign produce from all foreign countries , while their own land is perfectl y barren while Jersey and Guernsey , with a population of nearly twelve hundred to a square mile , pay from £ G to £ 8 an acre for Land , and are exporting produce . China has a population of between three and four hundred millions , and not one half the quantity of land cultivated in England is cultivated in that kingdom ; they import a little rice ; and the terms upon which a Prince holds his title is , that he must hold thep ' ough , and plough upon a stipulated day in each year . Now ,
working men , let me again implore of you to read the article that I have extracted from tho Dispatch ; aud in order to prove to you that , '" the folly of to-day may be the wisdom of the morrow , " let me ask you , how often you have read the very same in my work upon Small Farms , in the Labourer , and in the Northern Star ? And let me inform you , that however my Land Plan may be reviled and abused—and however 1 m ay be reviled and abused—by the most fortunate rascals , let me I say , assure you , that I will persevere in the undertaking , no matter against what mount of antagonism I
may have to contend . Again imploring of you to read the article from the Dispatch , I remain , Your Faithful and Uncompromising Friend , Fbarous O'Oo & w & b .

City Chartist Hall. A Densely Crowded Pu...
CITY CHARTIST HALL . A densely crowded public mooting was held at the City Chartist Hall , 26 , Golden-lane , Barbican , on Monday evening . . Mr . Stallwood having been called to the chair , briefly opened the proceedings . Mr . J . J . Brisck- moved" the first resolution as follows , — " That this mooting being admirers of tho groat principles of democratic and social liberty , and , consequently , haters of tyranny and despotism , in all its forms , sincerely thank the men in the employ of Bai'clay and Perkins , and other residents of Southward , for their manly outburst of feeling , as exhibited by thorn on tho recent visit of the man slaying , woman flogging monster , Haynau ,-
and trust it will prove a lesson to all tyrants and oppressors of the human race . " Mr . Brisck said , that resolution spoke volumes , and certainly taught the great difference which existed between natural and class-made laws . ( Hear , hear . ) The natural law burst but spontaneously , whenever human nature was insulted or feelings -outraged , whilst class-made laws were long in progress before they arrived .-it maturity . ( Hear , hear . ) Had Haynau been a Chartist instead of a " marshal , " Baron Rothschild would not have called him his friend . Ho much regretted the people had not retained Haynau ' 9 bcafu , as it would have been invaluable in producing funds for tho poor Hungarian ' refugees . ( Cheers . )
Mr . W . A . Fletcher said , the brave Proletarians of Southwark had acted nobly . ( Loud cheers . ) Their treatment of the ruffian , Haynau , must convince all tyrants of their ( the people ' s ) inherent abhorrence of despotism . ( Loud cheers . ) When he thought of the treatment received at the hands of Hayiiau by the patriots of Hungary during their struggle for liberty , he could but rejoice at tho usage of Haynau on his ever-memorable visit to Bankside . Ho , cordially seconded the resolution . ( Laughter and cheers . )
Mr . G . J . Habsev came forward , amidst loud cheers , to support tho resolution , and said , he could not help observing how ready a portion of the base press were in their defence of this monster , appealing for sympathy on the score of his grey hairs ; but , in the days of his power , did Haynau ever pay respect to age . sex , or creed \ ( Hear , hear , ) The Times said , that the numbers attacking one old man must bring contempt on the name ol Englishmen ; but he ( Mr . Harney ) said tyrants would have too much dread of such noble spirited men to feel contempt for them .. ( Loud cheers . ] It would shed a ray of light , a halo of glory over tho whole continent , which would deter any other tyrant from setting his unhallowed feet upon our shores . ( Loud cheers . ) . They had had the
Emperor of Russia here once , but he speedily made bis exit ; and after the reception of Haynau they mig ht depend upon it they would not be troubled with the hateful presence of J . ouis Ruo & apavte , Cavaignac , Changarnier , or any other ot their co ? butchers . It was easy foj-such fellows as Haynau to prate of their heroism whilst they kept their own precious bodies but of harm's way , whilst they sent thousands of mun in search of—not their own , hut other men ' s gletry . Talk of the courage of tho fiend who could have women stripped in the public squares and flogged Avith rods , causing their husbands to go mad and blow out their brains , and sending their sons to the galleys ; and why ? Because these noble , patriotic women had dared to give succour for a lew hours to a patriotic fugativo . Thus did the friend of Baron Rothschild- * -the fiend
Haynau . ( A thrill of execration , at this moment , ran through the meeting . ) . Had they cot heard of the cruel murder of Batthyani—of the numberless victims of Arad ? Had a Hungarian refugee mot Haynau in the street and avenged the tortures and death of a brother or sister , a ' motber , a father , © r a wife , surely , when a jury had been empanneljed , on investigating the ease they must have returned a verdict of justifiable homicide * Happily it . had fallen to the lot of Mr . Brisck , a German Je-w , to move the resolution , thus affording him the opportunity of showing up the cant of Jewish emancipation and humbug liberalism of Baron Rothschild . ( Hear , hear . ) These partial emancipations were always injurious in their effects ; K > s > H to
Irelaud , and they would find that few of tko emancipated Catholics had worked with tho truly patriotic John Mitchel . He thought tho rich had no other religion save that . of fleecing the poor . Rothschild's conduct had afforded another proof of this ,, for was ho not calling tho great , persecutor aa , d slayer of tho Jews—aye , the very next , if not the equal , to Nicholas , his friend ? Ho ( Mr . Harney ) trusted , that at the next election for the City of London two competent persons would be found to stand forth the avowed opponents of Baron Rothschild and Lord JohnRussoll , and show to tho world what humbugs they are . The resolution was carried unanimously , amidst the loudest applause .
Mr . Elliott moved the second resolution as follows ;— " That , mindful of our rights and liberties , we call upon our brethren to rally round the standard of tho National Charter Association ( a locality of which is . established in tins Hall ) ,-and thereby obtain political and social rights for the whole people , " -

JOHN O'CONNELL AND THE VIRTUOUS HAYS AT 7 . REPE ^ a Association , Di'ia , i . \ T .--Mr . John O'Connell made his weekly speech on Tuesday at Conciliation Hall , which was no way distinguishable from previous orations , save in so far as it contained » glowing eulogy on the public and private virtues of Genex-al Haynau , and a bitter invective against " the ruffians , ' * as he described the men at Barclay ' s Brewery , who too rudely assailed the "Austrian butcher . " Mr . O'C ' onne ' ll in the course of his panegyric . was interrupted by the chairman , W . P . O ' . Connor , who observed , that if what he had read of that individual was . true , ho was unworthy of the society of pi gs . Amongst other atrocities , he was represented to have caused the women of Hungary to be stripped naked and flogged in the street ; and if all these things were-done by him , he ( the chairman ) did not sec why he was not deserving of a slight sousing . The observations of the chairman seemetr to be quite in accordance with the opinions of the meeting , more especially the gentlemen in the body of the hall , by whoiii the very mention of the name of Haynau was received with groans-loth loud and deep , —The rent for tiny week amounted to £ S 0 s .

Ciiimii.M Prosecutions.—In Glancing; Ove...
CiiiMii . m Prosecutions . —In glancing ; over the calendar which shows the number of trials of prisoners ,, and the results of those trials , at the last Knutsford adjourned sessions , held oh the 12 th of August , for the county of Chester , we find that there had been committed for trial , during a period of six weeks , ninety-two prisoners . Of these ninetytwo ,, twenty-two w » re acquitted ; against five there were no true bills . found by the grand jury ; and in one case the prosseution was withdrawn . The result of a portion » f the convictiens i « as follows ;—Three wore impuisoned for fouvteen days ; seven for one month : on © for six weeks ; ton for two months :
: and twelve for three months ; total , 33 . Making in jail , out of ninety-two prisoners , sixty-one against i whom tho prosecutions failed , or whose oii'eiiccs were of so slight achnracteyjis to require no greater punishment lhan periods of imprisonment ranging from' fourtsan days to thrae calendar months . Supposing tho average cost of prosecutions to be taken at £ 10 eaah , exclusive oi'ihe expenses of apprehension , coi & veyance to an . a maintenance while in gaol , the total expenses ol- the sixty-one oases will be found io bo £ 010 , or rather more than £ 100 per week Sor . ono county , alone . These facts appear to plead strongly in favour of summary jurisdiction iu trif & ng charges of S » lony .
