      ¦ ¦ [ - I L [ R • Y In Time For The Scot...

      ¦ ¦ [ - I l [ r y in time for the Scotch post , if the monies _received by the five o ' clock delivery on Thursday evening are to be included , and it would be very injudicious to have one list for Scotland and another list for England . The Conference that met in December voted that roy Balance Sheet should be published in several English and Irish newspapers , hut 1 found that the expense would be something about £ fiO _, and I didnot wish to allow that to appear as an Hem in this Balance Sheet to gratify

      f e - - i : i - s t . _*>} ' own pride . I don't know that I have any « ther observation to make a 3 regards the Balance Sheet , and now I shall call yonr attention to a most striking , curious , and _cheeringfact I often told you that it had taken _^ e a life of agricultural practice , and fifteen years of intensel y deep thought and _calcula"roUto comprehend and understand the details and machinery of the Land Plan ; and I have _Wd _, with _perfett truth and _^ sinceritr , that n » ether man iu the world does _undenstaad

      _its > donment of this mode of transmitting money . All monies must be transmitted through Postoffice Orders , Bank Orders made payable to _fce at sight , or half notes sent in different letters hy the same post , or one half sent to arrive on Tuesday and the other half on Wednesday , as , after this week , the receipts " * illbemadeup to Wednesday night instead ¦ of Thursday night , as it is utterly impossible _*« have the " week ' s receipts at the * Star * office

      one days afterdate , and this confuses our account very much , as our Bank of Deposit will not receive them as cash uutilthey arrive at maturity , therefore we lose the interest , and I gain the complication . Another mode of transmitting monies must also be abandoned , I mean that of sending half notes this week , to he _acknowledged this week , and the remaining half notes coming next week . _Xow there _» r _. o one branch of the system which imposes _a'ore trouble and annoyance upon the directors than this , and , therefore , through me , they _urgently and earnestly request the

      abansum of twenty pounds , to be paid at the Bank of Barclay and Co ., London . * Now , I have written twenty times upon this subject ,- informing secretaries that no credit would be given for monies so sent , and I am resolved now to act up to it . I spent several days running about from bank to bank not able to receive one half the amount that was aiid to be lodged in the above manner . It is very easy to get Post-office Orders or Orders from the District Bank , made pay able to me AT SIGHT , and tr ansmitted to the office like a bank note . Some secretaries send orders payable

      twentv-There is another large item of £ 2 / 3 , odd , * hich , for the sake of accuracy and simplicity , ihave not charged in this Balance Sheet at all ; it is monies lodged in country banks to my credit in every bank in London , and merely notified to the directors thus , — 'Placed to the credit of Feargus O Connor , in the Bank of , Halifax , or anywhere else , tlie

      credit for Post-office orders , half notes , Bank notes , monies in Bank , and postage stamps , to the amount that you see at the top ofthis Balance Sheet , and in tbis Balance Sheet you get credit for them in cash . You will see another item of £ 136 . 2 s 7 d , called rejected orders ; some of these were bank orders , requiring Mr Wheeler ' s signature , some Mr M'Grath _' s _sigaature , and some tbe signature ofthe district secretaries who procured the orders , but did not make them payable to me , " and , therefore , the banks refused ' to accept them as cash , and ? lev are , therefore , now in my possession .

      which were received in the previous week , and not transmitted to me till tiie following Tuesday—and , consequently , could not appear in the cash account in the Bank . I , therefore , _reserved them to submit to the Finance Committee , to whom they were exhibited , and thev were hanked upon the following day . Another item of 247 f-2 s . 8 S , comprising half notes , and cash in the hands of the directors , could not be paid to me until the other-half notes came , which could not be till the following week . In the Balance Sheet , which I presented to the Conference in December , I took

      You must understand that theBalance Sheet « s made up to Saturday , the 14 th , the latest day at which a farthing was received—and thatit included Land money , Bank money , and Land Purchase money ; and all Balance Sheets should be made up to the hour they are submitted for audit—and for this reason , because a fraudulent treasurer might very easily makeup a deficiency of 4 , 000 / . or 5 . 0002 . out ef a week ' s receip ts , not included in-the Balance Sheet . At the foot , you will find an item , Bank Orders in hand , 2721 . 6 s . 9 d .,

      being made out , my clerk proves those _olumns , and carries them forward , as you find them , in the balance sheet . The other sums , paid for timber , materials , contractors , horses , and other things , are paid by cheque ; and these books , together with the chequel » oks , the bankers ' -books , made up to Saturday , the 14 th , as well _iis receipts for every farflung paid , were exhibited to the Financial Committee—but the auditors will hare to go over every column , to test every item , to examine the bankers ' -books , see to the interest , aid receive vouchers , from the very commencement , tothe day of complete registration .

      w , t , you will find in a separate { niacin ; setting forth the amount paid each _yeek , and the way the business is transacted s this . On Saturday evening I sit at a table , _mth the bailiff on one side , and the overseer sa the other . The bailiff calls the names of the labourers , tbe number of days they have _wikedinthe week , and the amount earned , snd I pay it . Then the overseer goes through _tiie same ' process with his book . In neither of those hooks is there a word or figure of mine . Hat done—the bailiff and overseer tot up their columns , and , prior to theBalance Sheet

      hen Que duty they can perform , and , that . they did , t tentively . Tbey can see the manner in , rhich thelabourers ' _acconntsare kept by ( he _lailiff ; and the tradesmen ' s accounts , and the _general account , kept hy the overseer ; and they can understand that those hooks could tidy be fradulent by collusion between me and _$ e bailiff , or between me and the overseer . Y ou should understand minutely ' how your ponies are expended—as it is of all questions , { he one upon which I would wish to make yon Jealous , and even suspicious . The Wages'

      AcAilling been appropriated , even for a day , to _r _iher than its legitimate purpose . There are _jfber accounts yet to be settled , a rough _jtetch of which 1 give you at foot ; but the jroceeds of which have not yet come to my j _^ ds . Auditors , practised to * such business , _^ 1 not have the slightest difficulty in _detectw errors—while it would he impossible for a finance Committee , of the best arithmeticians j ,, the world , to go over my account , or ithe _jecretary ' s account , during the whole period _^ fl owed fo r th e deliberation of Conference . ,

      1 » ave told yoa that nocapitalist could compete with me as a purchaser , because I can convert into cash what other purchasers either consider valueless or a drawback . Now to illustrate this for you , I paid for timber and rubbish at Lowbands . £ GG 5 , and now I will give vou the dehtor and creditor account . Dr . Lowbands , debtor to occupants £ 665 0 0 Ck . £ 8 . d . To 100 load of oak timber to be purchased for occupants at Snig's End 500 0 0 Received for Bark £ 140 Due £ 10 150 0 0 Converted ef old materials , stone , and timber in old buildings ... 150 0 0 Received from T . Adam , for old materials and fruit trees ... 110 . 0 0 Hay , used by horses .... * 94 0 0 Cyder press ... ... 10 0 0 Turnips and fire wood sold ... ... 65 12 0 Timber used for building purposes ... ... 160 0 0 / ¦ _*> , Probable price ef slabs , posts , and doors , sent - . _ - —•/ _- •'" - ' : - . -- . ' to Minster Lovel , tothe accdint of the occupants at Lowbands .... 20 0 0 Profit on cows , about ... 75 0 0 Done included in £ 665 , and since made and put . , out fer occupants ... 300 0 0 Probable profit upon sale of eleven acres , one rood , twenty perches of flooded meadow ... 110 0 0 Timber , tiles , and bricks , distributed amongst occupants ... ... SO 0 0 Old materials of stables and stones , not yet converted ... ... 30 0 0 Fruit trees on occupants ' allotments TOO Timber used in fencing and putting gates to allotments 20 0 0 1911 0 0 Deduct amount paid ... 665 0 0

      Profit of occupants ... £ 1246 12 0 Tou will bear in mind that I announced , after the purchase , that I would turn nearly £ 2 , 000 out of ma- terials . Well , was I far out ? Now there ' s a curious sum , showing you ; firstly , the amount made of rubbish , and se- condly , the fact that this £ 1 , 246 made ,, reduced the price of the 150 acres of land from £ 50 an acre to about £ 4114 s an acre , or reduces the rent ofa four-acre allotment by about £ 113 s a-year , but more than that , we made all the profit _« n carriage , which we should have had to pay if the materials were not there , which would have been enormous , and which I put against the labour of stripping bark , grubbing trees , and pulling down buildings . There is another very important item , Horse Labour . Now , if I had hired horse power in- stead of buying horses , the work would have heen perfected in about two years , and would have cost more than four times as much as it came to . I should like to have time to calcu- late what carriage of stone , lime , and sand would have come to by hired labour , while all must admit that the dung of twenty-three horses is no small advantage to a farm which for several years had been deficient in that item . ' Indeed ; I should likie to see a return of the expenditure for horse power alone , if hired , upon a hundred and fifty acres of ground having no old materials upon it . I now beg to draw your attention to the re- solutions passed this week by the directors , respecting the Loan Fund . It was resolved , that no occupant should be entitled to aidfrom the Loan Fund until he should have been six months located .

      Secondly , That the maximum amount should be £ 5 per acre , that is , £ 10 to a two-acre occupant , £ 15 to a three-acre occupant , and £ 20 to a four-acre occupant . Thirdly , That no loan should he made for a period longer than twelve months . Fourthly , That persons purchasing allotments shall not be entitled to aid from the Loan Fund . Fifthly , That occupants entitled to loans must transmit their application to the district secretary in whose branch they entered , with the name of their proposed securities ; that the secretary must submit it to the Observation Committee , and the Observation Committee and district secretary must submit their approval of the sureties to the directors , who will tben communicate with the occupant ap- plying for a loan . Such are the resolutions to which the di- rectors have come , and I will now state a fact for the satisfaction of those who have ex- pressed so much sympathy for the occupants of O'Connorville . It is this , on Tuesday last the directors contracted for the erection of out-buildings forthe several occupants . I now turn to perhaps the most important branch of the Land subject , I mean "

      THE BANK . I have this morning engaged as a manager , a gentleman of most prepossessing manners and appearance , who has been highly recommended by the-first houses in London , and in two of which , he served thirteen years , and from which he has the most creditable and unexceptionable testimonials for honour and capacity . Henceforth , all letters connected with the banking department are to he directed to " James Knight , Esq ., Manager , "National Land and Labour Bank , " High Holborn , London . " .

      And every depositor will , in as short a time as possible , receive from him a sheet setting forth the amounts and date of deposit , with a printed head ; and the depositor wishing to increase his deposit will transmit the bank sheet received from the manager , with the further amount sent to be placed to his credit , and by return of post the depositor will receive back his sheet or card , with the additional sum acknowledged arid signed by the manager , or perhaps a large card , which can be transmitted without rumpling , and preserved in a clean state , would be still better ; that the manager will decide upon , and will also communicate to each depositor , the mode by which he is to draw upon the Bank so as to secure him against the possibility of forgery . The manager j . vill require the signature of each depositor , " ™ order that he may paste it in a book , opposite his account , to verify its genuineness , in case of drawing upon the Bank . A half-yearly account will he rendered to every depositor in the deposit department and the redemption department , and the interest will be transmitted with the account ; all of which will be made up to such day in each half year us the manager shall decide upon . In a short time eaclylepositor will receive a cheque-book , ! to enable him to draw for such sums as he may J require , and the London depositors will receive a banker ' s hook , instead of the card , to he transmitted by post to country customers , and they also will receive a cheque book , and the money received each day will he banked upon that day , and bear the rate of interest of the , day , or will be applied to the purchase of Exchequer bills on the following day , bearing interestlat £ 4 . lis . 3 d . per cent ., until it is applied to the ' purchase of Land , when it will return 5 per cent . Henceforth , therefore , Labour _' s Bank will be as creditably and as , critically managed as the Bank of England .

      ¦ ¦ [ - I L [ R • Y In Time For The Scot...

      _Iji the next number ofthe Labourer , I shall write a treatise which will occupy tbe whole space , upon the whole question of tbe Land ; and its several departments ; tbe Bank , and its several departments ; and the ; Insurance-office , and its several ' departments ; and that treatise I will bequeath as a legacy to ' the _menijf figures , as a file for the vipers to gnaw ; and as I suspect the wind from which many of tbe calculation ' s are wafted from the north , I will allow the arithmeticians to judge of the facility with which a hundred thousand members , or any number , may be located within a period of less than five years ;

      indeed , ! have known much stranger instances of the reproductive principle and geometrical progression in the north . I bave known men upon £ 100 a year , who , in seven years , have built streets of cottages , purchased houses , built factories , lent' large sums on interest , and bad good banking accounts ; and , of course , upon the principle of , reproduction ; and as I can smell a rat as far as any other man , and see '' as far as any other man through a stone wall , I suspect that the founder of this reproductive principle feels jealous at the patent being something modified in other hands .

      Now , it must be distinctly understood that all letters connected with the Banking business , are to be addressed _asjibove , and wholly unconnected with litters' addressed tp the " _directorvin ' ; _wknedtion with the Land ; and the letters to the manager must simply contain the amount of money enclosed , and the department in whicb it is to be invested .. . _;; . " Another , and a not less important subject , I shall now call your attention to—namely , .

      i _: EXECUTION OF THE DEED . On Monday , the 13 th of September , the MONSTERDEED-betterthantheMONSTERINDlCTMENT—will be at the office of the Company , 144 , High Holborn , to receive the signatures of all members of the first , second , and third sections , from 4 o ' clock in the afternoon , till 10 o ' clock at night . Proper clerks will attend there to aid the directors ; and one thing I wish to impress upon all is this , thatno man will sign his name until be bas made himself certain , and the deed certain , against blots ; tbat is , that be will shake the loose ink out of the pen before he attempts to sign . The fouracre shareholders are particularly invited to attend

      ' i ' and sign , and for this simple reason , because theiaw requires that the deed should be signed by a number representing one-fourth of the capital ; and , therefore , one four-acre signature , is as good as two twoacre signatures . The schedule will contain the names of all , but the deed , to be completely registered , need only have the signatures of those who represent a fourth of the property . Subsequently , that is after complete registration , a portion of the shareholders of the fourth and fifth sections will also have to sign . The Deed will remaini at the Company ' s Office for a fortnight , till Saturday , the 25 th of September , when it will be taken to Nottingham , thence to

      ; I _, \ j i ' Manchester , thence to the districts where the members are most numerous , and iu those three districts I believe we can secure tbe signatures of members representing a fourth of the property . All who are in the London district , that is in the outskirts , or wbo wish to come for tbe purpose , may sign at the office in London ; and all shareholders who come from any part of the country on business may sign at the office in London . Now , surely , these instructions , both as to the mode of paying money , as to ihe transacting business with the Back , and signing the Deed , are so clear and simple that a child may understaud them ; and then , when we are completely registered , what will the poor devils have to talk about ?

      ! ' ' ! j The last subject is the next BALLOT . This ceremony will take place on Monday the 25 th of October , and for 300 . acres of Land already purchased by the Company ; and to satisfy many correspondents it is necessary to state , that those ballotted for already will be located according to priority , as the several estates are ready . By Saturday , Lowbands will he complete and finished , and already the work progresses rapidly at Minster Lovell . So that you see no time is lost , or is likely to be lost .

      Lest a revolution should be at band , and lest , as in tbe Newport affair , it might be supposed that I absconded to avoid it , I beg to inform you that it is my intention , in the course ofthis or nest month , to take three weeks'holidays , when I shall have arranged for the contracts of Minster , and left Mr Doyle there to pay wages till my return . After which I shall make atour , commencing in Scotland , through the North of England , the Midland Counties , the West of England , and Wales ; and the object of tbat tour will be to secure signatures to the National Petition , to explain the' Land Plan ,

      ; \ _, I - ¦ j and to beg Money to defray the expenses of a Chartist Convention , to assemble in London , and sit for a month , immediately upon the opening of Parliament ; and I am shrewdly of opinion that that Convention will do more work , and rendermore service to the cause of democracy , than all the parliaments or conventions that ever sat ; andfor these tworeasons —because the people are better informed and better prepared than ever they were , and because , with God's blessing , and tbe assistance of a few wealthy individuals , who have volunteered their _servicer in the right direction , Democracy shall by that time have U 4 YC

      _, A DAILY NEWSPAPER of its own , entitled , THE DEMOCRAT . You see therefore , my friends , that I am like the old fox , who , however headed in his course , is sure to reach the contemplated point in the end . For 12 years I have been contending for a daily representation of our principles . I devoted my unpaid service to support the True Sun in the last weeks of its existence . I edited , and travelled for , the evening star during the whole of its existence , till it ratted and became Tory , and never took a sixpence for labour and expense , but , on the contrary , supplied it with stamps and money to pay wages , sometimes to the _amount of £ 100 a week . This -will give _jow aa idea of my notion with regard to a daily newspaper . I have been at it for twelve years , and now

      I'LL DO IT . It shall be a domestic paper , a labour paper , a land paper , a trade paper , a fire-side paper , a Chartist paper , aud shall _ have upon its staff , the ablest men who can be secured for honourable remuneration . It shall be a morning paper , and shall give you full reports of Parliamentary proceedings , and , my life upon it , that you will start it with a circulation of Ten Thousand to begin , as tt will be the spoon to stir every man ' s coffee , the sugar to sweeten every man ' s tea , and the mustard to flavour every man s meat .

      THE DEMOCRAT SHALL BE OUR MUSKETRY , THE NORTHERN STAR shall be our artillery . The old cannon , that has stood the battle and the breeze , for now nearly ten years , will still keep thundering atthe citadel of oppression ; while our daily musketry shall fire through tbe crevices of despotism . You will be pleased to know , that the old cannon was never so hale , so sound , or so healthy , since it fired its first shot , as it is at the present moment , and you wiU be pleased to learn , that the publisher was yesterday COMPELLED to increase bis weekly order for paper and stamps by FOUR THOUSAND . So who tares for the brawlers ; the old cannon has opened the breach , and at the meeting of Parliament we will meet the enemy with

On Sunday last , a hrge concourse of people assembled to hear Mr Sidaway , who commenced by stating , that he had not walked five miles to exci te their passions . but their reason . He was glad to see suoh a respectable concourse of people assembled in the rural district of Edge-End , on a day that was dedicated to good works . He had come to explain the principles ofthe National Lund Company . Mr Sidaway then went through the whole of the rules and actions of the company in a olear . lucid and

      talented manner , carrying the whole audience with him . Mr Sidaway explained the land redemption scheme , and deposit fund , and made one of the most powerful appeals to the people in advocacy of the land _movement ever heard in the county of Hants . The lecturer continued for nearly two hours with almost breathless attention , and 81 the conclusion , a vote of thanks was moved by Mr Goodman , seconded by Mr Allbatard , and carried without a single dissentient .

      GENERAL _bUol'EMslUN . OF LABOUR ; M COTTON FACTORlE & _s ... ' At a _special delegate meeting of the ., operatiw cotton , spinners . of Lancashire and tb 9-nejgliboa _* _- ing counties , held , in Manchester , iUigust _* , 28 th , for the purpose . of _considering if any ,. and . what measures ouMht to- be adopted under _tho-eoatiiitt . ance of the depr « _asion in trade , which has _nuw-ex _. _istcd for so Jong a . period , Mr _BenjamiaJi ' _iijkuvia the chair , the following resolutions _weio _-passedi : ; - _* 1 . That this ' meeting deeply regrets the _continu _* ance of the depression which has now exi & _ted-foE twelve months in tlie cotton trade ef thiai distriofc _, _arisinc , as this meetingbelieves , from the . 4 _ighipric 9 ofthe raw material , and the deamessol' _tbe-neoeseariesof life , and aggravated by an unprecedented demand for mone # in consequence of railway . as _» tensions , and a consequent crippling of commercial credit .

      2 . Tbat this meating rejoices in the prudent nwa _» _surea which have * been generally _adopted by . thff trade , to diminish the extent of ihe evil by ;» working short time , and tbua at once lessening tha consumption of cotton and the production of goods ; . bnX cannot avoid expressing regiet that these _^ -measure ! were not sooner and more univeisally adopted .. i . 3 . That though * the delegates assembled at this meeting cannot but feel sensible of the _privatibna-to whieh tlieir fellow operatives and _ihciuselvts bava been subjected , _inconsequence of tho ver > great reduction in the period of employment , and the _. consequcnt diminution of tbeir enrnings , yet they , desire to tender their _sinoere thanks to the _geueral . body of their employers ,-for having adopted the reductioa

      ot time in preference to the reduction of wages . A . That , this - meeting would rejoice to believe that the period ofi difficulty was almost over ,, but from the continued dispropor tion between tin- priaes of good 3 and cottoa _, and the number of _Stims who have recently given notice , either still further , to reduce the time of working or to close their mills-altogether , they cannot but fear that severe , pressure will still have to be endured both by the , capitalist ; and his work-people . 5 . That , unue _* . ' these circumstances , _andconsidering the diminishing of the capital of their employers as prospectively-calculated to be injuriaus _» tatBft operative classes , this meeting bus been _Jed-to const *

      der whether any steps could be safely and _practically takeu tole _* sen . t ! ie evils by which we axe . yetihreat _* ened ; and _visaing with much _uneusinssstlie . riski ' f a continued , and even increased , depression ., during the inclemency of winter , this meeting desires .-to express a confidant opinion that it would be . highly desirable to _diainish the probability of such an _aggravation of the calamity , by entirely sujpending . _operations in cotton mills for a few weeks during the present mild andgenial season , when , in consequence of the abundance of vegetable food , and the _warmth of the weather , And the possibility , in niitfiy instances , of finding out-door employment , the-privations-to which the _operatives would be exposed , would not bo

      so severe ., " 6 . That this meeting , though preparcd . to recommend to _theis fellow operatives io take , this _course , yet knowing how desirable it would bo to have the concurrence of their employers and the _influence of public opinion in its favour , desire tlio , secretary _^ forward the resolution of this meeting to Wilson Patten , £ _s _% ., M .
