      if * fRlE > T » s , -The Bill for Winding-ap r . tnoiiny will be read a third time this day { ? rdav ) and I hope and trust that the { - md honest men whohawdeposited their P a . ' in the Company , and by whose money ** « HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN" at 1 -ot Lo ^ el , Snig ' sEnd , and Lowbauds were ted , « U be repaid . I visited O'Coniiorville ^' tfondaylast , andI neverwasmoredelighted ° f * l was by my reception and the appearace of that Estate . There it looks like a , L-pt-trarden . All the allottees were welljfl dW-O L ... U 1 J „ .. i and looked halehealthand robust

      a --ssedi , y , . tL y entertained me at a public dinner in the scbool-hoase , and after the dinner we had * ' ^ d speeches . One of the allottees stated that he had been located therefor four years—» j , at he was sixty years of age when he took ^ session , and that he felt younger now than L did when he was forty years of age . I will now g ive you a strong definition of the feeling that some of the kind-hearted poor j , a ve towards me . Here is a letter which I received from two kind hearted men , forwardjog their scrip to me : — Flothead , Itipponaen , July 14 th , 1 S 51 .

      Deis Sir , — We beg you accept the enclosed scrip , as we jiiuk it onlv fair to sacrifice a trifle now that the scheme i ; hnme ; h knavery ) has proved a failure . We were once jn hi s h hopes that it wmM enahle us to sit under our rifles an 4 fi ? trees ; ' but tho «« h » pes alas ! are fled , and aast now be numbered u-ith the thines that were . But . ; ir , we think that no blame is aracnable to you . and beg w we have no sympathy with any parties who havts tved upcin your generosity , and now wish to live by maj ^ fl injyou . We are , sir , in the cause of universal freedom , 2 Valy yours , Samoel Moobes , Joseph Atkinsow . Jo Feargus O'Connor , Esq .

      i > , s . — We * hall feel obliged if jou will , in the next numv , ' of the * Star , * answer the following question .-viz ;—n & U > rd 3 ohn Russell carry he Irish Coercion BUI when i took the reins of power in 1816 . that heopposed when i- s „ r < , poeed by Sir Robert Peel , ' and when his lord'Ln was on the bleak side of place , pension and patronage y ^ r , * - J - - Jiow , my rep ly to the above is : — " My vert kind Friends , —I beg to assure -von that when the Company is wound np you shall have your money returned , as it is not my wish that any man should he defrauded ; and I sincerely thank you for your kindness . My answer to the postscript is , that j ^ rd J . Russell did not carry any Irish Coercion Bill in 1846 . Again thanking you for vour kindness , "I remain ,

      " Your Faithful and Sincere Friend , "Feargus O'Connor . " Jfy friends , it roused my spirit when I visited O'ConnorviUe , and , perhaps you will ha astonished to learn , that many men came bom Reading and other parts of the country , over thirty miles distant , to see those cottages . If the located members on Minster Lovel , Snig's End , and Lowbands had been as ionest and industrious as the located

      members at O'Connomlle , then the Company wold not have been wound np , and I would hare had thousands of cottages built . But , as 1 told you before , notwithstanding the opposition that I hare had to contend against , arhen this Company is wound up I am resolved to carry en another upon my own responsibility ; and then I will take care that the members are not located by ballot , but I shall select them according to their character .

      My friends , the session of Parliament is now nearl y at an end , and I ask you to ref-ct and think upon the benefit that your order has gained from this session . I have told yon before that when Chartism was dead and vapid I would rest upon my oars , hut ihat I would never abandon its principles . X « w it is dead and vapid , but I will shortly rouse it again . I remain , Tour sincere and faithful Friend and Advocate , Feargus O'Conoor .

      X & TI 03 AL LOAS SOCIETY . This body met as usual at the City Uall , 26 , Gollon-latie , on "Wednesday evening . A conside-»!>] <¦ amount of business was transacted in receiving deposits on shares and granting loans ; a ( [ anility of scrip was also deposited with the Sociftr . Correspondence was read from a number of important towns where they are anxious to estaifea branches . Mr . Wheeler reported relative to : be progress which the bill for winding np the aSairaof the Land Company was making in Pat-Lament . After this business was disposed of a meeting of managers was held—Mr . French in tie chair— when a Variety of business regulations irere agreed to . A discussion took place relative lo waiting on the several London localities . Steps vers also taken to hold public meetings in the

      metropolia , and the meeting then adjourned . The nstngers of the society are anxious to impress rpou those favourable to their project the necessity k their immediately taking shares in the Society ; Enters this is at once attended to . the O'Connor-T 2 k- and other estates will speedily pass into other iands , and the fruits of all the past exertions of thousands of working men will be reaped by those yho have not laboured . Shares are only £ l each , sad they can he paid by instalments of fid . per ¦ Reek , or by postage stamps from the country . T : i ? amount of business which can be transacted is lending money on scrip makes the Society a profitable investment for the poor man ' s pence . Scares bearing four per cent interest besides a

      dwj > wn of the profits . Being legally enrolled the shareholders have every protection for the capital tbej invest , and the Society is authorised by law io ; -inly to raise money and let it out in loans , but a '^ o io invest it in the purchase of land and builder for its members . It thus possesses all thead-^ s Kajes which the National Land Company spent Em ? " thousands of pounds in vainly seeking to pitaia , and which were alone wanting to secure i * < acccss . If the members of that Company were redl y in earnest in seeking to locate themselves on ' 2 e soil of their native land—if the friends of coemption mean action , and not talk , they will , * :- ± oat delay , join this Society .

      THE DEMONSTRATION AT O CONXORVILLE . Monday , ushered in with storms , like the previous prospects of the allottees , at length gilded with its sunshine as merry a group of tillers Of the soil as ever light-hearted F rance or gay Italy , could boast . Owing to the illness of Mr . Shaw the arrangements relative to the attendance of friends from London were very imperfect ; but from the surrounding districts , and even from as far as Reading , Leicester , and other distant towns , the attendance was numerous . At eleven o ' clock several elegant conveyances met Messrs . O'Connor , Wheeler , Broomfield , Sumner , and others of the parties announced to attend ; at . the Watford Station , they were joined by other conveyances on the road , and arrived at Rickmansviorth at twelve

      o ' clock , were they were met by tbe whole of ttie allottees—Mr . Drake , the chairman , Messrs . Lester and Ellis , of Reading , and other friends . The curiosity attached to Mr . O'Connor ' s visit _ by the inhabitants was very great , the Inn hein » literally besieged by them . From the Swan Inn they proceeded in procession on t & the estate ; amid the greeting of the assembled people . After passing through the Tillage of Mill End , patriotic tm < i appropriate song * were sung by the whole line of procession until their arrival on the estate , where they were met by the wives and daughters of tbe allottees , and a number of the villagers who had assembled on the spot , and who welcomed Mr . O'Connor with rapturous applause . Captain Kell ,

      inspector of the Watford police , accompanied tbe procession upon the whole line of march , and seemed pleased with the proceedings—shaking hands with Mr . O'Connor . From thence they proceeded to the school-room ; where Mr . O'Connor and the guests , with the majority of tbe allottees , sat down to a most excellent dinner . The large school-room being unable to accommodate the whole , while the second party was dining , Mr . O'Connor , Mr . Drake , and other friends , visited the allotments of tbe various allot tees . The location presented a very gay appearance , banners and flags flying in all directions . Mr . O'Connor seemed highly p leased

      with the appearance of the place—the crops were very luxuriant ; some of the gardens , especially those of Messrs . Pocock , Sturgeon , Gamble , Heaton , Ford , Deramock , « fec , presented a most splendid appearance of combined fruits and flowers , and the whole , did great credit to their possessors . About three o ' clock the public meeting commenced ; but the wind blowing rather roughly , it was decided that the speakers should address the meeting from the school-room , instead of the platform erected on one of the allotments ; the only inconvenience from this " arrangement was , that hundreds were unable to gain admittance to the school-room , and many unable to catch the voice of the speakers .

      Mr . Drake was called to the chair , and stated the pleasure which it gave him to meet so numerous an assembly of the allottees and the neig hbouring farmers and villagers , met to do honour to the People ' s Champion , Feargus O ' Connor—a man whose life bad been spent in endeavouring to do good , and who would have accomplished much more than he had done , had he not been molested and harassed . The aristocracy were interested in molesting him . The Press being the organ of parties and factions , had maligned and abused him ; but , worst of all , many who called themselves Chartists had joined in the " cry . Many of the allottees , when first placed on the land , were utterly unfit

      to successfully carry out the scheme . They should have reflected whether they had the necessary means and abilities before embarking in it ; for if they had not , and then failed , they had only themselves to blame . He trusted that on that estate they would unite with each other , for it was only by union that they could succeed . If they did this , they would be able to save that beautiful estate—tbe first-born of tbe Company—from the grasp of the aristocracy , and be able to live in comfort and independence . The Chairman then eloquently expatiated upon the pleasures of a rural life , as contrasted with the filth and annoyances experienced by a labourer in a large town , and concluded amid much cheering .

      Mr . Lacry .-splained , relative to the non-attendance of E . Jones , J . Sewell , G . W . M . Reynolds and other speakers announced , and in a neat speech , in which be called on them to support Mr . O'Connor and the other champions of the people—for if they did not they had only themselves to blame if they remained in misery—moved the following resoVu tion : — " That the principles of the People ' s Charter are founded on truth and justice , and calculated to remove the evils under which the nation laboured . "

      Mr . Ellis , of Reading , seconded the resolution . He felt proud to be on the same platform with the Champions of the people . lie agreed with every word in the resolution ; tbe people had not only a right to the Charter , but had also a right to the possession of God ' s earth . Those who produced all the wealth enjoyed none of its products , while those who laboured not , enjoyed all its benefits . They needed only union to remedy this ; but it was useless for Mr . O'Connor or others to advocate their cause , unless they were supported and backed up by the people .

      Mr . 0 * Co > xoR ( who was loudly cheered ) supported the resolution . For nineteen years—since he first came to England—he had consistently advocated the cause of the people . For that he had sacrificed family , profession , and friends . Every point of the Charter had formerly been law except the Ballot . Charles J . Fox in the height of his popularity advocated the People ' s Charter ; but no sooner did he get into power , than he merely abolished the ri ght of a few government commissioners to sit in the house , and told them that was the Charter . If they were united , Lord John Russell would grant them the Charter before a month elapsed . He had stated his intention of bringing in a hill to carry out a similar principle , but was advised ( so he

      assorted ) by his colleagues to postpone it until next session , —what was that but cateringfor popularity ? The present system gave a premium to ignorance ami idleness . If government could tax knowledge , they would speedily hare a brain gaugcr to measure the size of every man ' s brain . The Charter would soon give them the possession of the soil , and then they would be enabled to live in comfort . The soi ! of England was not a tithe cultivated . If they mounted the tallest factory in the north of England , they would not from its summit see a single acre properly cultivated , whilst in Belgium every foot , even up to the factory door , was cultivated to perfection , and hence they were enabled to export food to us after having abundance for themselves . In

      Guernsey and Jersey by the same system they were enabled to support a much larger population per acre in abundance . If the Land Plan had been carried out as faithfully on the o'her estates as it had been at O'Conuorville , he could have built 20 , 000 cottages long before the present time , but instead of following their example the ruffians at Minster Lovel , after having received £ 30 aid money , and £ 20 loan , and their land properly cultivated for three year ? , had paid no rent ; and now endeavoured to assail his character . If Daniel O'Connell , in his popularity , had cared for the welfare of the peasantry , he might have built 100 , 000 cottages , and located as many families in independence , but his only care was to jusgle the money out of their pockets . In Bel g ium if a man

      had three bundles of land he was considered a rich man , and was in most instances soon enabled to purciiasc its freehold . A bundle was on ' y one English acre and a quarter . How different was the appearance of the peasantry there to that of our factory operatives . In England the average age of the operative was only twenty-seven , whilst that of tie agriculturist was fifty three years . Like a race hx-vae , the operative was old before the other ended his youth . The people had still confidence in him . He had expended £ 7 . 000 of his own money in the Land Plan ; and though the Committee had thrown the expenses of the Bank upon him , yet he should apply for it to the Master in Chancery , and when the Company was wound-up he would start another on his own responsibility . If a lord or a prince had erected such cottages as those they saw around them , the whole land would have rung with

      their praise , and monuments would have been ' erected to their memory . Mr . O'Connor then went into the political part of the question , showinff how all classes were represented in Parliament save the working class ; and that such was the system of venality in the House Of Commons , iljat not more than three honest men were to he found within its walls . Those looking for p lace or pension vcted with the Ministers that white was black . He related an anecdote of a S-oteh t ' . ' -ember who always voted again-t Put . Whew asRed oace whether the arguments on the opposite side had not convinced him , he rcpli «« i that he often changed bis opinion , hut ne . er changed his vut ? . lie " then gave a humorous illustration of the qusckerv and iuaslery practised by the upper and trading class , and the ruin thereby hro-ulu on vork'ii'Mnoc illusirated the manner in which he had b « Ti treated bv the Land Committee appointed

      Iiahwicn Electiox Committee.—This Commit...

      in 1848 ; and concluded by earnestly appealing to them to be industrious and unit' d , and the dark cloud in which they had been enveloped would speedily pass away . Their allotments were in an improved position . The Freehold Land Societies charged thirteen and a-half per cent , upon thenoutlay of capital , whilst they had only four per cent , to pay . They had only t <> pay due attention to the land , and happy days were yet in store for them . When they succeeded , others would follow their example , until the labour market would be so drained that there wouM be neither a pauper nor a criminal in the land . Give him the child of a prostitute , a thief , or a murderer , at two years old , and allow him to bring it up , and he would make it a moral and virtuous bring ; g ive him the child of the Queen , at the same age , and he could bring it up to be a prostitute or a crimin-il . Mr . O Connor sat down , repeating ^ me lines of his own compositionamid great cheeting .

      , The re < oluti'W was then carried by acclamation . Mr . G . Wheeler , in a very eloquent speech , presented the address to Mr . O ' Connor , which will be found at the bottom of this report . He felt more than language could convey , in having to present that testimonial of their respect to Mr . O'Conno ? . Testimonials bad been presented to many men for actions which had proved injurious , instead of beneficial to mankind . ' They were not in a condition to present a monetary '' testimonial to their champion . [ Mr . O ' Cohwor . —I would not accept of it ] But their offering he would esteem as more valuable , because it wts their heartfelt gratitude and respect . Mr . O'Connor he knew would esteem it the more , as it came from men , who , though some of them

      mi g ht appear young , yet they were old politicians ; the majority were tnemhers of the 1 st . section—old nallotted members . Men who joined the Company from principle , who , before legality was broached , had perfect faith in Mr . O ' Connor ' s honour , and whose faith had never swerved up to the present time . The members who had purchased fully coincided in the same sentiments , Ttiey had differed in some points from Mr . O'Connor , hut they had often found that tbo error lay with themselves , and not with that gentleman . Whatever faults Mr . O'Connor mi g ht have , they sprung from the head , and not from the heart ; his heart had been too good ; this had caused him often to be deceived ; he had trusted to professions ,

      instead of looking to actions , and thus had encouraged vipers , who now endeavoured to sting him . The allottees at O'ConnorviUe much regretted the conduct of the allottees at the other estates ; they believed they were led astray by pettifogging lawyers , and men interested in deceiving them . They had only one such character at O'ConnorviUe , and he did not live among them , or he thoueht he would not have so acted . That man was said to be a philanthropist , who caused two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before . Let them look round that estate , and see the produce n <> w to what it was before it came into the

      hands of the Comwmy then it with difficulty supported twenty-fiv " persons , now it supported 150 persons . Could they then deny to Mr . O'Connor the character of a philanthropist ? It had been said that Mr . O'Connor had brought paupers to the parish ; the fact was , that the farm had formerly paid £ 75 in poor rates ; it now paid £ 175 towards the support of the poor , besides the additional employment it gave , and not one person on that estate bad received parochial relief The speaker then went into further details of this subject , and alter eulogising the character of Mr . O'Connor , con * eluded by reading and presenting the address .

      Mr . Pocock was anxious to b ^ ar testimony to the good effected by the Land Plan . When he came there , he was upwards of sixty years old , and in feeble health . After four years' hard labour , ho was as strong and hale as ever he was in his life . His hair might look white , but he felt a pleasure in labour ; and trusted that , with more unity among themselves , they mi g ht jet become all that Mr . O'Connor had predicted . He was anxious to see a Model Instruction Farm instituted . If ho had to leave his farm , it would be the greatest grief possible to him . Mr . O'Connor then briefly replied to the address , and promised the allottees that , if possibh-, the estate should not be sold—but that , at all events , all should be secured in their holdings .

      Mr . O Connor then retired , after three cheers bad been given for the Charter , three for himself , and three groans for the Whigs . He was conveyed to the station in the phaeton of our friend Ellis , from Reading , and was loudly cheered on quitting the estate . . After Mr . O'Connor left , an out-door meeting was held , when the following resolution was supported by Messrs . "Wabbler , Sturgeon . BRooMFiEtn , and Somneh , who also advocated the plan of the National Loan Society : — "That the Land being the primary source of wealth , there can be no permanent prosperity for the people while the soil is monopolised by the few to the exclusion of the toiling many . "

      Another meeting was announced for eight o ' clock , after which a ball was to take place . It is nearly four years since Mr . O'Connor was at this estate , and the gratification his presence gave can be easily imagined . Many of the country and London friends stayed until the ensuing day .

      " TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . " IIoxocred Sin , —It is with feelings of respect and gratitude that we , the Allottees of O'ConnorviUe , address you on the present occasion . Respect for the high moral and political character you have so long home , and gratitude for the eminent services you have rendered to tbo working classes of this country by your endeavours to procure their political emancipation by the adoption of the People ' s Charter , and their social redemption , by showing them the value of the land ; and in so doing we only express the feclinss of thousands of your admirers . But we , sir , have additional reasons for gratitude , as it is mainly through your exertions that we occupy our present proud position of independent freemen . It is true that owing to adverse seasons , and the depreciated price of all kisds of agricultural produce , coupled with our

      inexperience , we have not been able to realise all that we had anticipated ; but we are not so unjust , as to attribute to you , or to any inherent fault of the Land Plan , the misfortunes we have encountered , or the trials we have endured ; on the contravy , we return you ' our sincere thanks for the leniency you , as tbe representative landlord of the Company , have shown us , and the consideration with which we have been treated ; and we feel the more bound to do tlrs at the present time when you have been attacked not only by our open foos , whose opposition we might naturall y anticipate , but also by those from whom we had aVi « ht to expect better things , even hy those whom you had raised from obscurity to places of trust and honour , and we grieve to say also by some located on the land . But we trust , sir , that you win attribute the ingratitude of the latter to what we consider the

      right cause , viz ., the misrepresentations of designing men , and the selfish avarice of pettifogging lawyers . Look on their faults therefore , with an eye of charity , and let not their conduct deter you from renewing your efforts in the cause of human progress ; and let this thought cheer you in your onward course , that we , who have been called your " first born , " the men of the pioneer estate , notwithstanding the extra expenses incurred here in consequence of its king the first experiment , have never doubted your integrity , or impugned your motives ; that we have withstood the machinations of your enemies , and would not listen to the " voice o the charmer , charm he oier so wisely ;" for , sir , we are convinced we are placed here to

      solve the "great problem" of the age , and prove to the world the superiority of the free over tin competitive labour market , and that labour applied to land is the only true source of a nation ' s wealth and greatness . That we may the more certainly effect this , we would most resp ' ecUully but earnestly entreat you , on the winding up of the Land Company , to continue our landlord hy oncoming the purchaser o- this estate , which has been named in honour of you and the principles you have so long and faithfully advocated ; by so doing ? ou will prevent the property from passing into the hands of tlio capitalists , many of whom , and some even in this neighbourhood , have not hesitated to say that they would gladly buy it , in order to dispossess us of our holdings , and pull down the houses . This

      they would do in the vain hope of destroying our principles , but thai they can never < io , ten- they wtu reni : iiii nourishing and " triumphant over the puny fffurts of your adversaries , arid rour name will , as the founder , he honoured ami revered , when that of your opponents shall be forgotten , and themselves mouldering in oblivion . We beg to express our surprise and V * gtet that the Committee ot the Ih ' Us < j of Com > o : ; s shouhi have dVei- ' cd that you arc to he . tr ti e expense of the Bank , an ;! trusi , that you will apply to the Muster in Chancery to pet that , loss allowed :. s one of the lona jhlc debts ot th <> Company . We likewise hope that you will not objoet to our petitioning for jvii f « i-c apt'ointc ' offi-.-i- 'j manager . We aspire yon , sir , as a part of the iiyblc people of ilnghmd , ' we have uo lV . iih in

      FACTS AND INCIDENTS OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION . Thereceipts on | Saturday amounted to £ 1 , 58915 a ., and the police returns gave 11 , 181 persons as the number who visited the building . On Monday £ 2 . 957 8 s ., was received at the doors of the Crystal Palace , which was visited by 62 , 694 persons . On Tuesday the unprecedentedlj largo number of 74 , 122 persons visited the Crystal Palace , and £ 3 , 509 8 s . was taken in shillings at the doors . Notwithstanding this immi-nae influx , consequent probably with the combined attractions at the Exhibition and the cattle-show at Windsor , which have brought swarms of people up from the country to " kill two birds with one stone , " the utmost good humour prevailed , and less inconvenience from overcrowding was experienced than might have been anticipated , The receipts on Wednesday were £ 2 , 010 4 s ., the numbers of persons who visited the building being

      60 , 626 On Thursday the sum of £ 3 , 023 5 s . was taken at the doore , and according to the police returns 63 , 746 persons entered tbe building . On Friday the half-crown receipts at the doors of the Crystal Palace rose to £ 3 , 762 7 s . 6 d ., and according to tbe police returns there were 35 , 338 persons who visited the interior . Among tbe country visitors of tbe week have been a party of 160 labourers and their families from Osborne , at the entire expense of her Majesty . The directors of the Great Northern Railway Company have given all their servants leave of absence for five days each to visit the Great Bxhibiwith each a free pass over the company ' s lines , and permission to the married men to take their wives , and those not married to take a friend .

      . Among the new objects of special interest must be mentioned the coining machine of Messrs , Taylor , which is now daily at work , striking of commemorative medals of the Exhibition . Upon one side of the medals ia Prince Albert , and upon the reverse the Royal arms . By an arrangement made with the Commissioners , the exhibitors are permitted to sell the medals—one-liaIf of the gross receipts being handed over to the general funds . Among the articles looked at with' envy is a drinking-glass divided by a partition , and intended to be used for effervescing powders . The soda is dissolved in one compartment , and the tartaric acid in the other , and by applying the month to the place where the partition joins the outside of the glass , the two liquids combine as they flow into the mouth , and effervesce as they are drunk !

      The project of retaining tne Crystal Palace as a winter garden is rapidly gaining ground in public opinion . ' The town council of Derby have supported their distinguished lellow-townsman by a petition . The Marylebone petition has already received 30 , 000 si gnatures , and similar demonstrations arc progressing in other districts . A party , however , small but active , is strenuously setting itself against the general feeling of tbe public . From being composed chiefly of the inhabitants of the houses on the opposite side of the road , who feel annoyed that regiments of omnibuses should daily pass "between the wind and their nobility , " it is called , in the gassipofthe Crystal Palace the " Prince ' s Gate party , " and its members are straining every nerve to get signatures to hostile petitions , but hitherto with very indifferent success . The following is the conclusion of the lengthy petition which Lord Brougham presented to the House of Lortls from Mr . Paxton : —

      That the advantages flerivnWe from such an appropriation i f the Crystal Palace would be man ; , and may be thus briefly summed up :- 1 . In a sanitary point of view its benefits would be incalculable . 2 . By its various objects it would produce a new and sootbitiK pleasure to tlie mind . 3 . The great truths of nature and art would be constantl > exemplified , 4 . Peculiar facilities would e . ^ pecijlly be given for the development , on a large scale , of the sciences of botany , geology , and ornithology . 5 . A temperate climate would be supplied atall seasons . G . Taste would be improved , by individuals becoming familiar with objects of the highest order of art , and by viewing the more beautiful parts of nature without its deformities . 7 . L'leasantexorcise could be taken atall times , and in every variety of weather .

      8 . It would serve as a promenade or lounge , and as a place which could , at all seasons , be resorted to with advantage by the most delicate . In conclu-ion , your petitioner submits , as his opinion , that having such great public attractions , the Crystal Palace might be rendered self-supporting . The architect Ims also addressed a spirited and convincing letter to Lord Campb » ll , in reply to his lordship ' s statement in the House of Lords , that the building would need to be rebuilt , in order to fit it for permanence . In addition to correcting his

      lordship ' s wiisooncoption , Mr . Paxton says :- — From the very cuinmeueoinent , when preparing my original plans of the building , my views were to make it in evrry way suitable to be appropriated to a permanent use , which fact I mention d to Lord Urongham and many others ; the entire framework and stren-th nt the Sirutitu «> , as it now stands , is , therefore , composed of wrought a d cast iron 6 sed securely together , and firmly beiWed in a concrete foundation , and , with oi-diuury attention t > i painting , this , the most important pa-1 of the edifice , will last for ages to come , with but little repaii s of any kind being necessary .

      Every column on which the house rests is made of iron ; the intent ) 1 diate ones in the exterior row are merelyplaced there for effect , and to divide the sashes , but h : ive nothing to do with the support or stability of the building . All the girders which form part of the framework and security of the structure tire composed of wrought and castiron . There are some w .. oden girders , but they are only introduced for e / lVct . Of the permanence of wooden sashes and other woodwork , if kept properly painted and attended to . we have sufficient experience to be able to form a good opin ' on : there are some hot-bonse lights it Ctuttswortti which have at U-ust btieii in constant use for upwards of I OK VCiU'S i ( 111 ( 1 appear likely to endu re for a long time to come .

      My estimate of uunuion for the i (¦ ash and glass work of the Crj stal Palace is fifty years ; but . i < -. my statement of expenditure , provision was maile for a renewal even twenty-five years ; however , with care and attention , my bi'liel is that 100 yt-arH would be nearer the reality . The duration uf woodwork depends very much up .. n its postlinn , undiho attention paid to it . We must not forget that many of our m st en luring public buildings have wooden r-. ofs ; fur instance , Wes * minster ball , Lincoln ' sinn-hall and the dome of St . faul ' s , all of which are still in excellmt preservation . In or'ier to render thje buildin g ; is it now Stands fit . for a ffhlter garden , Considerable expeii .-tcs must be incurred , ill ! CSlim . 'ite if which I shall shortly be abl « to lav b .-fore the public ; but , without at this lime entering into financial part culars , I nin convinced that when once formed , the after expenses for maintenance could be easily sustained without a public grant , and that the terms of admission could be made such as to suit the position and wtntB of all classes of individuals .

      Bradford.—At A Meeting Of Socialist Demo...

      Bradford . —At a meeting of Socialist Democrats , held at the Yorkshire Divan , Manchester-road , on Sunday evening last , July 13 fch—Mr . George Luacombe in the chair—on the motion of Mr . llamsden , seconded by Mr . Robert Bower , the following resolution was unanimousl y agreed to : — " That as the democratic cause is in a disorganised and unsatisfactory position in this town , through the peurility displayed b y a self-elected few , and as numerous ' good men and true ' sincerely desire to give their active support to thedemncratic cause but have been reluctantl y compelled to hold aloof for the abovementioned reason ! we therefore resolve to form a society to be

      denominated the ' Bradford Democratic Association , ' and we respectfull y invite the democrats of Bradford to meet at the above house at seven o ' clock on Sunday evening next . " FVNSBUllY . —On Friday nig ht a lecture was delivered by Mr . Worsehlincat the Crystal Coffee-house , Vine-street , Ilatton-garden , on " Persius and Juvenal "—whom , he said , were the last of the Roman poets , for , after them , poetry began to decline , oratory was heard no more from the forum , and a Ions : night ot mental darkness ensued . It was , however , at timus , irradiated by the scintelhvtions of genius—that genius which was destined with other lights , to burst upon tbe world , grapple with error , and break the spells of infatuation and the

      chains of tyranny . The lecturer showed the influence which the satires of Persius and Juvenal had upon society ; and said that it would not be welt to dismiss the subject without an application of some of the past events of Rome to those of the present . He said that it was in 1348 that Rienzi , by his eloquence , re-kindled in the Romans the love of their ancient Republic—that love diffused , like a conflagration , through the length and breadth of their classic land—a brilliant sun shone in the political horizon , but was soon followed by an eclipse . The lecturer spake in warm terms of the patriotic and eloquent Mazzini , and agreed with the E-irl of Shaftesbury in saying that " it is to the eternal disgrace of the French nation that the Pope

      is kept upon his tottering throne . ' The lecturer , therefore , advised the public to hold simultaneous meetings , and to request that the noble EmH would preside at one of them . —On Sunday nieht the Finsbury Democratic Association met—Mr . H . Hockley in the chair , —Jfr . Haggis , of the Pmpagand . 'i Association gave a lecture . Subject : "Pas ' and Present , '' to a very attentive and much gratified audience . The lecturer entered into the history of the multifarious trials freedom has had to suffer during the various reigns of cruel and despotic tyrants , and showed the help rendered b y reformers of all agos , and its ultimate successful issue—especially in this country , if the reformers

      would unite with the trades' societies , and , by instruction , < fcc , obtain the principles of the Peo ple s Charter . After a very animated debate on the subject , the lecturer received a vote of thanks , —It was moved by Mr . Johnson , recottded hy Mr . Halliday , and carried unanimously : — "That , as soon as possible , a democratic school shall be opened in this borough ; " and the ohairm . in announced that an excursion would take place n ^ xl Sunday , from the Paddington Basin to Alpertou to assist the association to procure means for the circulation of tracts , Ac , in this borough , and invited ail reformers to aid in the good work o * ' democracy .

      Bermosdset . —To all who are solicitous for , or in any way engaged in , propagandist purposes . — Last week , at the meeting of the Chartists , at tbe Chapel , Bermondsey New Road , Mr . Bubb intn .-ducod , illustrated , and enforced a mode of pmj >! igandism for all London , which was well received , as the funds collected testif y . The plan requires co-operation , atul perhaps , adaptation . Friends are hereby invited , either as individuals , or delegates from any societies now in existence , to atlond at the above Chapel next Wednesday evening , ateij-bi o ' clock ; or by letter , addressed to W . " Small , 1 , Shoi t-streefc , York-street , Walworth , for tbe purpose of promoting this meditated effort of political , social , and moral reform . It is worthy of note , as a proof that something is required to he done , ( hat the Greenwich people have sent a delegation to Hermondsey , requesting their assistance for similar objects .

      Newcastle-OS-Tvxe . — At a delegate meeting , held in tbe Joiners ' -hal ) , High Friar-street , on tin-23 rd ult ., and at which delegates were present , from Sunderland , Swaton Delcval , Sorth Shields , South Shields , and Newcastle—J .

      Working Men's Associations In Paris. A V...

      WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATIONS IN PARIS . A very interesting and instructive lecture was delivered hy W . Coningham , Esq ., on Friday eveuiHg , the 11 th inst ., in St . Martin ' s Hall , Long Acre , on the progress of those Associations at Paris . The lecturer having stated that M . Prudhon established the first co-operative Association , & m \ that like every other proposition having for its object the improving the condition of the working classes , it had met with the most strenuous opposition from the press , and that if their accounts were to be credited , the members wore making useless sacrifices of their time and labour—that

      they were enduring the most severe privations —and that all those societies wore in a state of insolvency . TVIion he ( tho lecturer ) went to Pai'is , he resolved upon ascertaining the truth or falsehood of these statements , and so far from those Associations being broken np or abandoned , ho found that there were no less than thirty Associations of Cooks , each iu a prosperous condition—that the Tailors ' Association , established b y Louis Blanc , possessed a capital of 30 , 000 francs , and that a number of training societies were formed for the I'StabftshwiMYt of move associations . The

      lecturer abl y described co-operation , and its advantages . Two dogs would kill more game in a day b y hunting together , than they could in two days h y working separately . There were about 4 , 000 pins in a pound , and this quantity was soon made by a low hands , eacl person performing a curtain portion o f the work , whereas one man working by himself could not make more than twenty pins in a day . Co-operation made the hireling a working partner . The scifish princi ple engendered

      b y tho fear of the loss of work , or of gaining a greater amount of money than another , was destroyed—each worked for the benefit of all . Lord Bacon said that if prosperity discovered vice , adversity discovered virtue . It was not till labour found itself beneath the heels of capital that this remed y was propounded . This question was agitating the minds of every son «> f toil , and the many would not consent much longer to bo the bowers of wood and drawers of water . It mi g ht , bo said , that the want of funds was the chief obstacle to be surmounted

      in the formation of Co operative Associations , but the filiating capital invested in tho Savings B . Mtiks would furnish ainplo means for all purposes , it Was gratif ying to find that punctuality and honesty was observed in those societies , and that not « , single breach of trust had occurred . One gentleman advanced 35 , 000 francs to an association which was paid at the stated time . One of the Piano-Forte makers had lent money to his Association , and died , leaving ten pianos unfinished . His associates

      pain the motiey dun t » his widow , aud finished the p atios , by which she now gets a comfortable livelihood by letting them for hire . This Association had property worth 4 o , 0 U ( J francs , and two of their p ianos-were in the Great Kxhibition . Ttio Lithographic printers had discovered a method of p lacing twelve colours on tho s .-imy stone , instead of one . They had established a hereditary fund for their children , ami a wi < i- "w aud orphan ' s fund . Tho Iecturor accounted for the failure

      of tho first Associations through the equal division of wnges , and instanced tho bottle makers of Paris . The host , workmen would stand idle sometimes , and when complained of would say they had done more work than others . This feeling went through the Association , which it nearl y destroyed . The equal division of profits w /* s found to ho tho best method of creating a spirit of emulation

      among tho members . The lecture ] - gave a very interesting imrrative respecting the Jewellers' Societv , ; iml l ^ i'i ' a tmi the difliculties they experienced in a casti of embezzlement through the laws being framed against such societies . The Block-Un men had built most spacious workshops , ami aojaceiit stood their cottages and gardens , presenting thu appearance of a little town in the heart of Paris ,

      tho whole of which was the result of cooperation . He ( the l-, . -,. uuvi ) had been informed t . y a frienil wli" had lVCClltlY COillO From Vnilenfiaii , witr Wolverhampton , that workmen were soling iurks at that p lace foils . 6 'd . per dozen , which in London would sell for Is . each .
