M'Grath told me ; that alttalthough his name was attached to it , that he uadhad not seen or heard of the most important parparts of it until it was published . 2 Zow , as to Ph Philip M'Ghath , I would , ks I have often Bta'Stated before , trasthim with millions of money , as as I think he is tbe moat honourable , virtnoos ,

      Bob sober , and honest man I ever met ; but , accoi cording m the old maxim , although he is not m \ mv enemy , some of those , whom I have paid ou " out of my own pocket aa Directors , have been ar sny enemies ; and , according to another old m ; maxim , " One enemy can do yoa more harm ft than a thousand friends can do you good . " > Jfow that Thomas Clakk , Esq .. has got a g « good situation under the Financial Reformers , tt that GENTLEMAN has become my bitterest a ) and vilest enemy ; a man who has held two a acres of land and a cottage at Lowbands , and

      u never paid one fraction of rent , and the gentl tleman who is now in possession of the clock v which was in tbe Land Office . I have often stated to you before , but as a j good thing cannot be too often told , let me re-? peat it to yon again . "What do you think of ; allottees receiving 501 . aid and loan money , four acres of good land cultivated , a . large quantity of the best manure , and a beautiful cottage with oat buildings , and not paying one faction of rent for four years ? What , say . do you think of these ruffians being my greatest enemies , said yonr greatest plunderers ?

      My friends , I do not think that if you were to live for a thousand years , you would ever find an individual who has sacrificed his time , his money , bis friends , his relatives , and his family for thirty years , to try and elevate the working classes as I have done ; and is it not an anomaly , to think that the men to whom I have been most kind and charitable have been my bitterest enemies ? Now , do you think

      that any man in the world could gi ve the same account of the amount ol money received by him from the working classes that I have done ? Look at all the companies that have received money from Shareholders , how they have jnggled them and robbed them ! But , because there were many influential GENTLEMEN connected with those companies , the Government would not allow any investigation to be made as to their

      HONOURABLE TRANSACTIONS . However I may be persecuted , I am determined never to abandon those principles by the establishment of which I hope to see the poor elevated , and pauperism abolished . Now , if the affairs of a man who had attempted to enrich and elevate the middle or higher order had been brought before a Parliamentary Committee , and had he established a Bank in connexion with his plan , the Committee would decide that he was honourable and virtuous , and that he was not only entitled to the repayment of the money which he had paid

      out of the Bank , bnt he was also entitled to a large compensation for bis honourable services ; but as I have done it , I am entitled to elander and persecution . But however 1 may be persecuted and slandered , Jet me assure yon , that when this Company is wound up , so strong is my affection and feeling for the poor and impoverished unwilling idler , that I am determined to go on with another Land Company , as it makes my very Wood run cold , when 1 go through the manufacturing districts , and see men , women , and children , who work constantly in a heated atmosphere , starving and begging their bread .

      I gave you an account in last week's Star of the amount of money that I had paid into the Company out of my own pocket ; but I will now present you with an additional sum , ibe account of which I did not receive till Monday last The sums were paid by Mr . FetHEBSTojte ; the auctioneer , at Bromsgrove —thus making the Company owe me £ 71 261 . Here it is : — - ~ £ s . d . Paid Mr . Bomford 20 0 0

      £ 256 10 4 I was prepared to submit to the Committee of fte Hoaseof Commons tbe accounts rendered by Messrs . Robeson and Scon , solicitors , and Mr . Fethekstone , auctioneer ; but they would not receive them , although I saw the members of the Committee reading Lloy d ' s paper , with tbe account sent by Thoiias Clauk , Esq . ; and that paper was Bent them by Thomas CiABK , Esq . 1 do not think that any man in this world who carries on any other plan , will be able to * ay that he never gave a bill to any tradesman , but always paid ready money .

      Now , my friends , I do not think I can give yon a better definition of tbe treatment that « n independent gentleman , who attempts to elevate the condition of the poor is likely to receive ftom a „ INDEPENDENT PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE , and from Thomas Clabk , Esq . ; and the Financial Reformers may rest assured that , so far from ^ creasing their power , they will destroy it , by emp loying such a man as that . My friends , I will now conclude by assuring

      Jon that , however I maybe reviled and abused , I will adhere sternly to those principle" by the * doption of which we shall not see a pauper , * drunkard , or a criminal , in the laud ; and * 2 » in I assure you—I not only assure you , but I swear to it—that I would rather live upon ne humble meal a day , and not see a pauper in the land , than be emperor of the world , and ^ fifty millions a year , I remain , your Faithful and Uncompromising Advocate , Feabgus O'ColWfOR .

      TO THE MEN OF SHEFFIELD . My bear friknds , —Although you cried " HURROTJGH PAT" at me when I first visited Sheffield in 1836 , yet let me assure you that I have never forgotten the kind aud cordial receptions that I have bad from you when I dispelled the antagonism that existed between the English and the Irish peop le ; and in no town in England have I been better received since than in Sheffield , and I am

      g lad now that the antagonism which bo long existed between the Eng lish and the Irish peop le is dispelled ; and I hope and trust in God that the disunion which has so long existed between the two countries will be shortly dispelled , and that we shall no longer see idle land , idlelahour , and idle money in that fertile country . And I hope and trust in God also , that 1 shall live to see the day , and that ere long , when there will not be a pauper in this country .

      My friends , nothing will g ive me greater pleasure than to visit the good men of Sheffield as soon as I possibly can ; and then , I have no doubt , that I shall have the reception that yoa promise me , as it gives me pleasure to find that , notwithstanding all the antagonism against -which I have had to contend , my old friends still stick to me . Your ever faithful , and affectionate friend , Feahgds O'Connor .

The society was to be divided into branches , and the capital was-to tie : * lS O , q (| ov" with 60 , 000 subscribers , and 100 . 000 spare */ of £ 1 , 6 s : each . The capital was afterwards raised to £ 185 , 000 . " The declared purpose / Of the Company- was the purchase-6 f lands , ereMmg schools and dwellings , and the raising of-a fund for the hewfit of members , being allottees' of land .

      The deed of settlement , in order to obtain complete registration , as stated in the bill before the committee , was between a large uuu . lier of subscribers , who exeruted it of the ti > st pat t ,. and Thomas Slingsby Duncombs , of Spring-gardens , a trustree , of the other p ; irt ; biit , aftr-r v-rious unsuccessful « fforts , it was found that the Company could not be completely registered , and the Court of Queen ' s Bench had decided that it was not established for any commercial ( mrpo .-e , or for any purpose of profit , or for the putposeof assurance or i « 8 i > ra »> f wit , hin the meaning of the Joint-stock Registration Act . Many shares had been taken , and subscriptions paid ; and expended in the purchase of estates at Herringsgate , or O'GounorviUeHemSnig ' s End ,

      , , Lowbands and Other places , purchased with the assent of the subscribers , in the name , and conveyed to Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., Notting-hill , for building and cultivating , and in making advances to allottees . A National Land and LnuourBnik , under the management of Mr . O'Connor , had been established in New Oxford-street , in connexion withihe Society , but donVts , under 7 and 8 Vic , had arsen as to the legality of the banking business . There were 60 , 000 depositors , and the property of the Company was to be their secuntv . Doubts had also arisen as to the legality of the div : sion of the Society into sections under 39 Geo . 3 , intituled " an act for the more effectual suppression of societies

      established for seditious and treasonable purposes , ' and for better preventing treasonable and seditious practices . " The registrar of Joint Stock Companies and the Committee of the House of Commons had refused to grant the Company complete registration , and doubts were also entertained whether the undertaking was not illegal as a company , and as to the title of purchasers of lands . Proceedings had been taken by the subscribers against Mr . Feargus O'Connor to recover back their deposits . Mr . O'Connor had expended large sums as chairman of the Company out of his private means , had incurred liabilities for contracts , and now come before the committee to divest himself of all title to the land and all trust under the

      estate , and the present bill was to dissolve the Company and refer it to the tribunal of the Masters in Chancery , in order that it might be woundup , though it was a question whether this latter could be done . There were no debts except the rent remaining unpaid . After considerable discussion , on the suggestion of Mr . Coates , the committee decided on adjourn ng , to give an opportunity to the parties , the promoters and the soMeBoidfcrs , to come to some arrangement that might obviate a protracted or expensive inquiry .

      On Wednesday , Mr . MicsAMAUi , in opening" the case , stated that the points insisted on by the opposing party were , that all arrears of rent should be forgiven the allottees ; that the rent should be taken at the standard value ' of rents in the neighbourhood of the estate , instead of at four per cent on the outlay , and that the allottees should receive compensation for all losses , including loss of time , and daring the period of their occupancy . They bad met at chambers to arrange the matter in dispute , and had agreed thai the question of arrears and future scale of rent should bo referred to the decision of the Master in Chancery , and that the allottees should receive as compensation for any proved losses over and above the sums received by them from the Company the same dividend as the rest of the shareholders . On these conditions be presumed the opposition was withdrawn .

      Mr . Coates stated that he was on ' y present during a portion of the interview , and that he could not agree to the terms of the proposed arrangement . It was then decided that the question should be argued de novo . Mr . Coates stated that he might save the committee time by stating the terms upon wUich he would withdraw all opposition , which he did in the terms originally proposed by himself , as stated by Mr . Macnaroara in his opening address . Mr . Macsamaba , after a consultation with Mr . O'Connor , stated that he could not agree to the unlimited terms of compensation demanded for the allottees . He then entered into arguments in favour of the bill , as amended to meet the views of the opponents to the bill .

      Mb . Coates said that , in the absence of counsel , he had , in consequence of the extreme poverty of the parties , undertaken to represent the opponents of the measure , and the principal amend * meats he had to propose on ^ bebalf of the allottees in the unfortunate concerntwere to the affect , that under the winding up process of the undertaking before the Master in Chancery , which was the prin . eipal object of the bill , a clause might be inserted for resting all the property in the official manager to be appointed as at present , all the land that had

      been taken by the allottees , but parted with , vested in Mr . O'Connor , Many of tho allottees-poor weavers and artisans—bad taken these allotments of land without any deed of conveyance , and discovered that they were so remotely situated from the market towns ' that they could not send their produce for disposal , and were consequently utterly ruined . Some were in actual destitution , and bad no resort but the workhouse . Those who had a legal title could not be evicted without a suit in Chancery , and provisions to meet these emergencies would be indispensable .

      Mr . M'Gbath was called as evidence to prove the allegations contained in the preamble of the bill . He expressed himself opposed to the winding up , believing that a dividend of not more than two shillings in the £ 1 would be coming to the shareholders . He wished the Company to be legalised in some other form , hut preferred its being wound up to remaining in its present state , He had previously given evidence that the separation between the Land Company and the B » nk was merely formal , to meet the requirements of the law . Business was conducted , since the separation of the Bank , precisely asitwas previously—the rent , & c , of the Bank was paid by the Land Company ; the Land , he believed , owed £ 6 , 000 to the Bank , that sum having been used by the Company . Bis present opinion was , that the L « ad Company and the Bank were entirely distinct , and that Mr . O'Connor alone was liable to the expenses incurred by the

      Bank . , . Mr . O'Connor gave evidence relative to the preamble of the bill , also as to the connexion between the Bank and the Company , and as to the amounts due to himself from the Company . Mr . Cbinxbrt gave evidence regarding the registration of the Company , and other legal matters connected therewith . Mr . Coatbs , in reply , stated that since the counsel on the opposite side had required the Bank and all other expenditure to be repaid before a iiividena was required , points which he was willing to concede to , provided they conceded to his demands on behalf of the allottees . This having been disputed , and it being proposed that they should only receive a dividend , ho felt himself justified in objecting to the expeaditure on account of the Bank , s » oy striking that off he should increase the dividend to his clients

      . . . ... Mr . Macsauaba said the course adopted by hia opponent was unusual . He had raised no objection in the first instance to the connexion between the Land and the Bank , and he ( Mr . Macnamara ) nao consequently not touched upon that pomt in his aadress . The committee , after deliberation , decided that the portion relative to the Bank should be struck out of the preamble of the bill , thus throwing the whole expense of the Bank upon Mr . O Connor . The clauses of the bill were then agreed to , M proposed by Mr . Macnauwra ' s amended bill , ex «

      The National Loan Company. To The Editor...

      THE NATIONAL LOAN COMPANY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOBTHEUN STAB . Sib , —Seeing in your journal of Saturday last an address from " The Managers of the National Loan Company to the Shareholders of the National Lund Company , " in which the former gives the latter the ' ollowing invitation , "We also invite your discussion and investigation , " I , as a shareholder of the National Land Company , crave permission for a short space iu the Northern Star in acceptance of that invitation . Allowing full credit for the good intentions of the managers and members of' the National Loan Company , 1 cannot help thinking that their hopes of success are built on a very false and sandy foundation , and that their most blissful expecta'ions will assuredly he wrecked . The dissentinns and want of confidence which the

      raanaiters admit to be everywhere prevalent , are at the outset damnatory to all and every chance of succbss . Secondly , after the managers have enumerated what they conceive to be the difficulty , the address goes nn t < i say— " As a set-off against this we have a large amount of money paid in small suras , on which nr > dividend will be declared ( more than £ 20 , 000 has been paid in sums under £ 1 6 s ., or one share ) Under these circumstances the prospects of a dividend are at least hopeful . " So the hopes of the managers and members of the National Loan Company are founded on this more than £ 20 , 000 , are they ? Why , surely the managers could not have read the bill now before Parliament , entitled— " A

      bill to dissolve the National Land Company , and to dispose of the lauds and property belonging to the Company , and to wind up the undertaking , " Had they read this National Land Company dissolving affair they would have found this very " more than £ 20 . 000 " disposed of . Section ten , page ten , recites , " That the monies and assets of the Company shall be applied by the official manager under the direction of the master , in the first place , iu or towards the payment of the costs , charges , and expenses of , and incident to the obtaining and carrying into effect of this act , and all such other costs , charges , and expenses as the same may be liable to ; and , in the next place , in or towards the satisfaction

      of the debts , orany of the debts of the Company , in such manner , whether by way of dividend or otherwise , as the master shall direct ; and any surplus thereof , after full payment of all such costs , charges , and expenses and the debts of the Company , shall be divided amongst the several persons wbo at any time or times since the said undertaking was first projected in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty-five , as aforesaid , have paid any monies or subscriptions for , or on account of any share or shares in the Company , and who shall make and prove their claims in the manner and within the time to be for that purpose appointed by the master , rateably and in proportion to the amount of their subscription . " Surely this literal

      recital from " the Bill must destroy all hopps of pecuniary gain on the part of the National Loan Company , as its managers do not , I hope , loot on the bill otherwise than as a bona fide measure . Then would it not be wise in the managers of the National Loan Company , ' after paying any expenses that may have been incurred on account of the Company , to return the- remnant of money and any acrtp they may have received to the several depositors , and apply all their energies to honourably winding up the National Land Company , which they admit to be a partial failure ?

The meeting approved of the acts of the Committee , except that portion which threw the entire expense of tbe bank upon Mr . O'Connor , for whom great sympathy was expresssd , and his conduct greatly applauded , tbr preferring to risk the loss thus unjustly thrown upon him , rather than suffer the

      Spread Of Chartism. A Public Meeting, Ca...

      SPREAD OF CHARTISM . A public meeting , called hy the Somers Town Chartists for the above object , was held on Monday evening , at the New Vestry Rooms , Old St . Paucras-roarf . Dr . Bird in the chair . The Chairman opened the meeting by stating its objects . They were met to help on the good old IWioal cause—to protest against the exclusion of five-sixths of the population of the empire ; they were met to secure their own rights , aud present the ingenious fingers of the Chancellor of the Exchequer from dipping too deeply into their breeches pockets . This was the only object the seditious treasonable Chartists bad in view . "What honest man could blame them for thus exerting

      themselves ? What sane man believed that Lord John Russell ' s proposed bill would be anything but a sham ? If such a man could be found , he should be sent to the Great Exhibitiou , and stowed away with the raw materials . They must agitate peaceably and morally , until they changed the Chartist minority among the voteless men of this land into a majority . He thought tho present year gave them a highly favourable opportunity to promulgate their doctrines , and increase tiie number of their converts . Tbe chairman then alluded to the question of Papal Aggression , and the other great questions on which Ministers had thrown odium and unpopularity , and stated that it would be their own fault if they did not achieve a great and successful result to their agitation .

      Mr . D . W . Ruff ? moved the following resolution : — " That in the-opinion of this meeting the House of Comiftotts , aa at present constituted , does not represent the people , inasmuch as sixsevenths of the male adult population of this empire have no voice in making the laws they are bound to obey ; and , believing that taxation without representation is tyranny , we , therefore , resolve to pptition the said house to enact such a law as will place tbe franchise on a jn . 't and equitable basis . " Tbe working classes were recommencing the agitation in which f > r years bark they had struggled and failed . If they coulu not , by peaceable and legal means , wring their rights from a reluctant government , they must place themselves in a position so commanding that g <> vernment dare not deny them . The middle classes had frequently requested the working men to follow their dictum , and allow them

      to have the guidance of the movement . For some time the working men bad been laying ou their oirs , and Cobdiu and Co ., who promised them household suffrage , had then a good opportunity to achieve it . Ifad they done so ? Look at their coil duct on the motion for the little Charter , and say if , after that , they could place any faith iu these men . The speaker referred to the bribery practised at Aylesbury and St . Albans , and asked whether such conduct on the part of tbe voters of the middle class showed that they possessed any superiority over working men , in either morality or intelligence . The intelligence displayed by working men , not only of this , biit every other country , by their products exhibited in the Glass P-ilace , demonstrated that they were worthy of exercising the franchise to protect the labour which had produced such surprising results . He would never rest satisfied until they had the Charter whole and entire , and ho entreated them to adopt the same

      course . Mr . G . J . Holtoake seconded the resolution As a resident in the parish , he felt great pleasure in attending the meeting . Taxation without representation had long since been acknowledged by all reformers to be an evil . He thought that Hume and his friends had done some good by their agitation for reform , and that their measure would'lead to one of a more universal nature . People must know the value of tke franchise , before thoy could earnestly demand it , cher must , in fact , possess it to know its value ; and this accounted , in some mea sure , for tho demand lor it not having become universal . They , were told that they were virtually represented ; now , if this was admitted , it

      admitted the whole principle , for if they bad a right to a virtual representation they clearly had to an actual one . The Times had lately advocated the cause of an extension of the franchise , but , like all new beginners , done it in a blundering way . It asserted , that working men did not care about tho vote—they did not use it in many instances where they possessed it , and they would not use it if they had it . II they would not use it , why then fear to concede it to them ? Tbe Charter would oot , in his opinion , lead to revolution , it would only lead to increased activity—a very necessary and desirable result . One of the great objections by the upper classes of the working men having votes was , that their numbers would overwhelm

      them . These men , possessed of the influence of wealth and mind , showed but little clearsightedness , if they were not aware that those qualities were more influential than even a majority of viitcs . The power of brute force had been suptrseded by the means of law , and those who had previously had a monopoly of power and strength no doubt complained of the result . They had a similar monopoly in tbe present day . Wealth and intellect ruled instead of force and terror , and their influence could only ho balanced or equalised by admit ting the whole people to the franchise . They must be equal in tho eye of parliament as well ' as equal in the eye of tbe law . Unless they were so they coul . i not be truly said to he in possession of themselves .

      The speaker then alluded to the case of Captain Somerset , and concluded by hoping that they would raise an earnest and universal agitation in favour of the Charter whole and entire . If any man , or class of men were left out , the same grievance would still continue , and other agnations would be necessary to achieve the desired result . Mr . O'Brien suggested some alterations iu the wording of the resolution . He thought that it must be an oversight , as there were persons on the platform who had previously promulgated the ideas ho wished them to express in the resolution , intrusted they would not retrograde . After some discussion , in which Mr . Rorrr and the Chairman took part , Mr . O'Urien expressed his intention of moving an amendment .

      Mr . E . Jones rose to speak in favour of the resolution , and commented upon the speech ef Mr . O'Brien . In his op inion tho resolution was unobjectionable . M r , O'Brien said that they should have stated that the six-sevcutha belonged to the industrious classes ; it needed no prophet to tell them that these six-seventh * were working men . Tbe words sufficiently explained themselves . Mr . O ' Brien had objected to that portion of the resolution which stated that taxation without representation was tyranny ; this franchise , he said , would exclude all the paupers , a million . La number , wbo paid

Jones ) asserted that every pauper paid taxeVif-not directly , at least indireetlv , and that the * , Charter provided for their enfranchise * metit , j / r ^ Jpnea ; tueu ' . commented upon tho case of Capt .

      , for twenty minutes at a time , in-the piestWdf a turnkey ; and yet they called this equalirv-iti the eye of the law . Out upon suchenu : Ukyn- ! ; He trusted Mr . O'Brien would not move an iiiuciidtnont upon such trifling grounds « s those he urged Tbejr wanted unity of action . Quarrels had are . dy . auf . ficiently injured them ; they were now . qufclui . ij and he trusted that they would not again bo resumed .

The system was tottering ; it needed hot' tbeir >' aid . Ho throw it down ; it would fall ofits own accord Mm-it ' s :. ye ) rjrottem \ esH .- Mr . Jones coneluded ' nimd louvi « heer 8 . ; Mr . Ravsops , oii being loudly called for , stated that he muo ]& Vegr . . ttod the proposed amendment of Mr . O'Brien ; Ho denied that . iiiiiistjf and his friends li . ud . any ' intention of deserting that which they . had previously pioolaimed , as Mr . O'Brien had intimated .

      Mr . O'BniEs denied that he had made such a charge . The Chairman also intimated that Mr . O'Brien had withdrawn his proposud amendment . Mr . HEV . \ otDS resumed . Universal Suffra ^ o was clearly n right . They would rind that it exited in all the original elements of society ,-and that the people had been deprived of it by tyranny and force . The whole people could no longer meet in ono large plain , and eiiact what laws they thought besx . Tile

      xystem of representation was tho necessary resulti but carried out as it now was , it gave the power almost entirely into the hands of the aristocracy . Mr . Reynolds then demonstrated , from the i' ;\ te of ¦ he window tax , income tax , and other measures , that the middle classes were not represented : they were the vbtims to a delusion , and should join honestly in the people ' s movement for the lVoplo ' s Charter . The House . of Commons did not . belong t » the middle classes—it was merely a reflex of the House of I ' eers . II « did not wish to advocate the

      cause ot the middle classes , he only wanted to . read them a lesson , to show them their true interests . He knew equally with those who were interrupting him , that the middle closes tyrannised equally with tho firimoct ' itcy over the working man . The middle class must speedily cease to exist , if ( bey did not join with tho democracy . Competition was . destroying them equally with the working man . . "The time was come to reason with them—to show ' them the precipice on which they etood—to convince thi'm , as they hud dmie ly tbeprogrammeof tbe Convention , that they meant to reason , and not to figbtj or create a physical revolution . ( Mr . Reynolds spoke amid some opposition from a small portion . of tho meeting . ) . . . Air . u'UniES read an amendment- which ho bad intended to propose , but . stnted that he had nbaniUmud his iuMinuou rather than create division . Ha

      was anxious to guard them agatn > t falling into any delusion . The press generally selected only tho resolutions , and omitted tho . speeches ; -and as tho resolutions were generally milder than the , speeches , the public was led to suppose that the meeting had been equally namby pamby in their sentiments with themselves . He wanted to sco all that was good in tho speeches embodied in the resolution . Anyone rending the resolution'would think that Mr . Ernest Jones , Mr . Reynolds , and others had only been advocating a reduction of taxation —> merely advocating a modification of Cohden ' s scheme . Reduction in tuxn tkn wonld be no beoefi t io the working man wlittu the present , system of landed piopenynud money exchanges existed . By these systems the middle and upper classes were

      enabled to rob working men of ' £ 300 , 000 , 000 every year . The people always' appeared . doomed to be humbugged . Government w . js humbugging them , in Portugal . English ships of war were in the Tapus , backing tho molded class to overthrow the demoer . ifcy of Oporto , wtio wove anxious for a republic . The lower order of the middle class were bound by interest to the cause of democracy , but the rich middle class were , and ever would be , their enemies . These men j ^ 'e £ 14 for shares in the New River Company , which were now worth £ 16 , 00 ( 1 . It was by such means that they defrauded the working . ' men— -making their livint ; out of the very water which they draiik Mr . O'Brien then wont into the affairs of the Continent , and concluded at a 'ate nerioi of ttocwutag ,

      Mr , .. Thornton- Uust supported the resolution ; and after alluding to the subject mooted by Mr . 0 'Ufi <> n , expressed his opinion that the public would he in no danger of being deceived when ihey beard th « t a meeting bud been held to petition for the dinner . They would not think that they had advocated Mr . Hume ' s measure , or a paltry measure of taxation . Mr . Lu . vn expressed his opinion that the resolution was not uet ' im ! ' ! enough . It said " an equitable system of lepieseutntion . " Any class might intt wh . it construction they pleased upon it ; as an old democrat he protested aitainst it . He had no connexion with Mr . O'Brien , but he thought , their resolutions should express their opinions . The . resolution was then put , and carried with a few dissentients . Mr . Wkkkes moved a petition to tho House Of Commons , embodying the whole of the principles cotitfttticd in the IWie ' s Chatter .

      Mr . Elms seconded the adoption of tho petition . lie was very pleased with the results of tho meeting . Ah long as there were opposing interests , so lone : would there be opposing ciar'ges ; they must endeavour , by kindness and persuasion , to moderate this evil . The petition was then ordered to be signed by tho Chairman , and presented by Lord ' Dudley Stuart . A vote of thanks was unanimously given to the vestrymen of the parish for the use of tbe ball , and also to the Chairman . Tho meeting then adjourned ,

      Massacre or Yubscb Bbauex bt CanxiimIs . --Private letters have been received in Paris from the corvette Aiuincne , commanded by Captain < l' llnreourt , which mention an incident of a horrible kind . It appears that about tho end of November last t ' io Alcmeite reached the bay oT Ualade , one of tbe ports of Sew Caledonia , in the Pacific . On the 29 th an armed boat , under tho orders of Second Lieutenant Dcveresrne , was sent to find u passage for tke corvette on tho western side of New Caledonia , Tlie boat , that was to be absent only eight days , had not returned on the 10 th , and serious apprehensions began to be entertained on board the corvette . On the 11 th the barge , under the orders of First Lie-uuioiua l *« v , tMer , reached Houlabio , to

      look after the boat , and ( he crew soon learned that the trihes of Mcuenia and Bellup , the moat savage amongst the savage , had mannered the crew of AI . Deveresuic's boat , » ud that three seamen only had escaped death . This was the more strange , as the young officer arid bis men had been perfectly well received at tin-t by the natives of llienguebiine , and it was only at the muiueut they were preparing to return to the corvt'tto that , all of a sudden and at a signal from one of the natives , they were fallen on and massacred , without having a moment to make use of their arms . Three men attempted to escape by throwing themselves into the sea . They were

      however , draped back , and , naked and bleeding from many wounds , they were forced to remain on the spot while the bodies of their comrades were devoured by the savages , For nine days they lived with them , and to all appearimco were reserved for the same fate , when , at the last moment , the barge providentially approached Bienguebunc , but still kept at some distance from tho shore . The only person that landed was a priest , one of the members of the mission in these islands , who courageously advanced into the midst of the ' savages , and assuming a b < M attitude threatened them with destruction if tho surviving seawn were not instantly restored . The cannibal's , finding the boat ' s crew

      preparing their arms , gare up their captives . On the 15 th the Alcmene quitted Bal . ide , the men burning with desire to tsko vongeanco on the savages . On the 17 th the whole of the huts at Tulao were razed to the ground , the plantations destroyed , the canoes of the natives captured , and twentv of the tribe sh » t . At Hienguebune and Pauba the huts and plantations were also destroyed . On the 2 nd of Jnnuary the Alcmeno quitted New Caledonia .
