      oeen fiirecteuto meetings ui several towns in Yorkshire fc > tarry out tho plan of a society , under tlie ahovc title , triuch has been propounded to the public by the Chartist Association of Great Britain , having for its object the purchasing of land on which to locate such of its members as may be selected for that purpose , in order to demonstrate to the working classes of the kingdom the value of the land as a means of subsistence , and to make them in a measure independent of the capitalist The plan proposed is this : to raise a certain sum of mnney , say £ 3 , « O 0 , in 2 , 000 shares of £ 210 s ., by weekly instalments of » d . j Cd ., Is ., or upwards , wMch is to l < e applied to tlie purchase of land . Good amble land may be rented in some of the moat fertile parts of the country at the rate of 15 s . per acre , and may bo bought at twenty-five years' purchase , that is at X ! S 15 s . per

      acre , and suppusing £ 3 , 000 raised in shares of £ 210 s . each ; this sam would purchase 120 acres , and locate 60 persons with two acres each , besides leaving a balance vf £ 2 , 750 , which would give to each occupant £ t 5 Ifis . Sd . for the purpose of building a comfortable and commodious cottage on each allotment , and the surplus , if any , towards stock , implements , &c . These allotments might be leased for ctcr to the members of the society , at an annual reiital of £ 5 each , which would Ibe fiir below the real value ; the gross rental would thus amount to £ 300 . Thisproperty , if sold at twenty years ' purchase , would yield to the funds of tlie SOTe *} ' £ 0 , 000 , Tvhich sum , if expended in a similar manner to the first , fWuW locate other seventy-two persons , and so on , continuing to increase in the same proportion until the tenth sale , which would realise i 3 " , 324 , and locate 3721

      iKssoas . Thus the total number that could be located in ten sales , should the project be taken up with spirit , might he easily effected iu four years , would be 1 , 923 persons , in addition to leaving in the possession of the Society an estate woith , in the wholesale market , £ 37 , 324 , which estate could cither be re-sold or formed intoafuud towaids purchasing back the estates prerioaslv disposed of , thereby rendering them freehold , and serve the double purpose of ensuring a vote for the countvand also of r elieving the tenant from the necessity of paying the yearly rent of £ 5 . District committees of this society have been forded at Leeds , HuddersSeld , "Bradford , Barasley , and many other

      places in 'Yorkshire and Lancashire , and a great onmber of working men in each of these towns have ¦ iv taken shares ; aud if the plan is properly sihte— . there is no doubt it will be an im-. -carried ou ., -Motmont system , inasmuch as it provement on the -. - j ^ ^ dependent of the willplace the occupant of tu » - . , caprice of his landlord , and whatever lmpttveu »» S makes on his estate hyhij industry ssA perseverance trill be for his own benefit , and not suhjepito asv increase of rent fur increased value of his laud , the fruits of his labour , besides being an honourable and profitable occupation to himself and family iu times of

      Scicide at Sea by Captain Fox of ihe Ship Reu-4 XCE . —At an early hour on Wednesday morning a desperate act of suicide was committed by Captain Charles James Fox , aged about thirty-two years , of the ship Reliance , on her voyage to London from Buenos Ayres . Shortly before eu-ht o ' clock Captain Fox had been conversing with Charles Brene , the steward of the ship , in his usual way , and subsequently descended into his state cabin . Tlie ship was at this time beating up Sea Reach , several miles below Gravesend . In less than a quarter of an hour afterwards the steward was alarmed by hearing tho report of fire-arms which proceeded from the cabin . On descending with the chief mate he was horrorstruck at finding Captain Fox stretched on the floor

      cf the cabin quite dead . A large ship pistol was tightly grasped in his right hand , and upon examination it was found that he had placed the muzzle of the pistol jtist above tlie right hip , and had then discharged it . On the left side were two orifices evidently made by that number of balla , which , nijon search being made , were found in the adjoining cab ' ia , Laving passed deav throiiffli Ms body and afterwards perforated the state cabin door . From documents found on board , it would apu ^' uat Captain Fox , whilst at Buenos ^ -es , had suspected that another captain of a shin had been spreading some malicious reports nspectin" his character to a Mr .

      FmouiFCL Accident to a Touxe Lady . — On Wednesday afternoon , about three o ' clock , a serious accident occurred to Miss Afatilda Wilkinson , second daughter of Mr . J . Green Wilkinson , ofNo . 39 , Wimpolc-street , Cavendish-square , and niece of the unfortunate lady Mrs . Round , wife of Mr . Round , M . P ., who was lately burned to death at the dreadful fire tvliicli occurred at Ragget ' s Hotel , in Dover-street , Piccadilly . It appC . !| rs that tlie young lady had just before tlie accident mounted herhOKio for thcpuruGS ? ot taking an airing in the Regent's-patfc , when the

      aainiai oecame restive and reared up ; thinking no doubt to check him , { she suddenly pulled tlie reins , 02 which he ^ again reared much higher than before , and Io 3 ing J'js balance fell backward on the unfortunate lady , and rolled Ppon her for several yards . Her groom promptly ran to her aid , attd with the assistance of the butler and several persons who were passing at the moment , conveyed her into the house . Medical assistance was immediately procured , anclon examination it was declared that she had received very severe internal injuries , although it is believed that no bones are fractured .

      Shocking Occurrence . —Oxford , Jolt o . —About twelve o ' clock this morning the inhabitants of this city were engrossed in lamenting to each other the melancholy death of Mr . Thomas Sheard r grocer , in the lligu-street , who had committed suicide bv throw ing himself into the street , and out of a window it is supposed three stories high . During the last week or ten days it has been understood tnat Mr . Sheard was in pecuniary difficulties , and the fact being mentioned , it caused fresh expressions of surprise from each person that heard it , for no man was more looked up to , nor did any possess the confidence of his fellow-citizens to a greater extent than Mr . Sheard . His difficulties were no sooner known than manv

      friends rallied round him , and on examination of his affairs found he would , with time to arrange matters , be able to pay 20 s . in the pound , aud were prepared to guarantee the same to his creditors . Bab the shock had been too much for his over anxious temperament , and it was soon apparent that his situation had had such an effect on his mind as to . make it necessary he should be constantly watched . How he eluded the vigilance of his attendants , or whether he threw himself from the window or from the top of his own house , is a matter of uncertainty even to those who witnessed his fall into the street . Ho died almost before he could be lifted from the ground , lie has , we regret to add ,. left a widow and seven young children . * :. . . . .

      FLTiTIIEU PAKTICULAES . ( Front the- Cork Repmter . J Ballimiassig , Tlesday , July a . —I . have bc * n for the last scveu or cighi houi-s witucssiag scenes of such an agonising ami heart-1 'endfng i > atu ? o , that 1 almost despair ol' being enabled to convey any ido ; i of their horror in the hasty notice 1 send you . Tk peace of this hitherto most tranquil village has been sully disturbed , ami in almost every second house about the neighbourhood are heard the waitings of widowed mothers aud fatherless children , or tlie lout , and disconsolate grief oi" friends aud ntkihbours at the sufferings of their wounded relatives . " Amid the excitement and confusion which prevail all about , it is difficult to collect accurate details of all the facts

      -. but i have made the most minute inquiries , and spoken to at least forty of the persons who wore at the fatal spot , or in its immediate vicinity . I am , tiiereiorc , enabled to supply you with what 1 think may Ijc generally taken as a correct outline of the melancholy transaction . _ There is an annual fair held in the village of Bal-JiuJiassig , on the 80 th of June , which is usually well attenuoil by all the tanners and people in that dis . trict , a « d it is , 1 believe , customary to send a small police force to the fair in order to prevent riots or the disturbance of the peace . This precaution was taken yesterday ; but , unfortunately , in my judgment , not carried out with either the * prudence , gow . 1 temper , or moderation which tiie judicious discharge

      ol so onerous anil responsible a duty demanded . About half-past seven o ' clock , when the business of the fair had concluded , a number of persons remained near the fair field , and about the little village . I have made special inquiries to ascertain whether many were under the influence of drink , and I find that those that were so were comparatively few , the great majority being sober and very peaceable . A party of police , nineteen in number , under the command of Mr . Kelly , sub-inspector at iunsale , were stationed near the cross-road . At one side of this spot is a public-house , kept , 1 think , by a person named Cailaghan , aud at the other side o i the road , ^ running parallel with it , is a low slated house which | : ; is latterly been used as a dispensary . 111 bltu 1

      J- » v I'lWUHO WIVMU , 11 Vlll bllU ! IU 1 £ 1 IUUII 11 IUUU Ul Adamstowc whose names 1 understand arc Sullivan ami Neale , began to quarrel , and others having interfered— -whether as combatants or peace-makers I cannot ascertain—the police felt it their duty to arrest one of the principals , Sullivan , ami immediately on their doing eo one oi' two mischievous persons culled out hi Irish , "Don ' tiet him with them . " Symptoms of a disposition to rescue Sullivan having thus become perceptible , the police retired with their prisoner to the dispensary—the door of that edifice was not on the hinges , but it was'laid to . Here some stone throwing ; occurred . To what extent the rioting was carried on in front , at this moment , I cannot say , but some shots having been tired , a number of the country people got into a garden behind the dispensary , anil

      ware throwing stones on the roof , until they had smashed it in two or three places . The police , in the mean time , had been again ordered to load , and very soon after they had got into the dispensary , they fired from the window and door , with deadly effect . There was no magistrate present ; no Riot Aet read ; no warning , as I am positively informed , to the people to desist ; no attempt made to disperse them by a bayonet charge , or a volley of blank cartridge . At the first five several fell , and the police then came out ; some of them fired again , and again'returned , and the whole party * once again rushed out , and the people having by this time run in all directions , they turned up by the bridge in the direction of their barracks . When they went from the dispensary a small

      body ot people followed them , and though no attack was , as I can learn , then attempted , one or two of the police turned round , and again fired with the same aim and effect that signalised their previous proceedings . I shall now come to the sad spectacle which presented itself on my arrival at the village , llaving received intimation in Cork about twelve o ' clock at night of what had occurred , I proceeded to the locality , in company with Dr . M'Evers , whose valuable services were put in requisition for the relief of the unhappy sufferers . The lirst house we entered , a wretched hovel near the bridge , presented a sight that it would require the gifted pencil of M'Clise to depict , or tlie pen of Carleton to embody in the pages of some of his most thrilling narratives of ^ Mft - * . 1 % # * B * X * 1 .

      *** au auuiTiiig . On aheap of potatoes in the corner , resting on the lap of an aged woman . Jwhose anguish seemed too deep and intense for utterance , lay the body of a fine athletic man , his clothes open / and his chest covered with blood ; three or four women were collected about , a group of men surrounded him , and only a hollow moahfrom the women occasionally broke the silence of the house of mourning . With some difficulty I made way for the doctor , and when he held the caudle to his ghastly features and looked for a moment on tho last convulsive agony , he saw that his end was come . In less than a niiimtc lie had ceased to exist , and his announcement of the melancholy truth seemed the signal for a burst of that anguish only the Irish peasant can express , when involved in such absorbing sorrow . The name of the deceased was Jeremiah

      Coglau ; he lived at Skehanagh , was a small farmer , and had left , besides his aged mother , a wife and one child to bewail his sad and untimely fate . The bullet entered at his back , and passing through the lungs came out at the left side . Wo then hastened to the nearest place where it was intimated that one of the sufferers iay , and in a little house in the village , stretched on the cavthen ilooi , we found a fine young man named John Walsh , from Carrigaline , aged 24 . His right leg was literally shivered to bits : it had been hastily dressed , but on opening the bandajre several large splinters of bone came awav * «^ j , dressed again , as well as time «» £ ™ cu ; ,,.-would permit , and the - „ ,. { £ .: ' ¦ -atances "ratitndcovcra- ;' .,. ;/^ ""« w expressed Ms p- . .- •"' - ' Werior tho relief he was afforded . r >» - ' ..... . -- - — - « v «\ -j * w ju , "no wiiuriicu .

      Tho dooioi * at once recommended that he should be removed into Cork to the infirmary , where amputation of the limb should take place , as the only chance of saving his life , lie was umnametT , but 1 was informed had a young family £ > f brothers and sisters , who were mainly dependent on his Mmrt . From this we proceeded with all expedition to Adamstown , where some of the most dangerous cases had been removed to their own houses . At the house of Maurice Corkran , whom we found lying on a bed , almost in the agonies of death , his wife and four yfoiiig children were screaming at the bed-side , and a crowd of ncigJiboure blocked up the single apartment of his wretched and cheerless habitation . On examining him , the doctor was of opinion that his

      case was quite hopeless . The bullet had entered between ih < , eighth and ninth ribs , and as well as could be ascertained , passing through theabdominal viscera , came out at tlio Cjher side . He was throwing up blooil in vast quantities , and was fast sinking . The doctor having done all thai . no thought advisable for the poor sufferer , we proceeded about half a mile further on , where we were informed another victim lay . On entering the house of John DcsJsono , M Adamstown , we found him lying in bed , wit ? ; two gunshot wounds . In one place the bullet entered at the hipbone , and came out behind , the flesh there being greatly lacerated . The other wound presented-far more dangerous symptoms ; the ball had entered at the back near the sninc . and was lodged in the

      abdomen . After a minute examination the doctor re * solved on extracting it , and did so from the front in the most expeditious and scientific manner . While engaged in the operation the poor man manifested the greatest courage ; he bore it with patience , such as I never before saw equalled , and it has been my lotto have been present on several such like occasions . I have the ball in my possession ; it is slightly flattened at one side , by , I presume , concussion with the rib . Such sedatives as were deemed proper were then administered—fomentations , poultices , < fcc , to keep down inflammation , and unless internal hemorrhage should supervene , it is possible he may recover . The odds , however , are fearfully against him . He was a remarkably athletic man , and had only been married last Easter .

      Returning from this poor man ' s house we met a fine stout voung man named Richard Barrett , oi Ballinphelick , the son , I understand , of a very comfortable farmer , and a very respectable man . A bullet had entered the back of his left hand between the first arid second metacarpal bones , and lodged in . the ball of the thumb . The hand was so dreadfully swollen and inflamed that nothing could be then done for him , and he was recommended to come into tneinfarmary . The next house we arrived at was that of Jeremiah finnwov nf T . isUiW Thin man received the Millet

      ia ' auch a very dangerous and critical spot that very slight hopes indeed are entertained of hisrccoYOjr . It eutered through the centre of tho rig ht bladebone , and made its exit through the armpit , wounding the important vessels in that neighbourhood , and causing an immense effusion , of blood , which left the patient in a most exhausted and sinking state . His wound was most carefully dressed , and his friends were artvised to bring him to tho infirmary without delay . Within a few doors « f this man's house lay another sufferer-a man of £ ne athletic frame , and evidently losscssing great muscular power . His naiuc was Jehu Walsh , of iierour , and Uis case was pcrliP ^ s W

Crossing a large tract of country we next came to a house where , indeed , a most afflicting spectacle awaited us .

      general appcurnncOi 1 should say belonged to a eomfortablo farmer . O . n examination , it was found that the ball entered at th e back , and passing between the . shoulders through the lungs , caused instantaneous death . The deceased iV-is a very respectable , quiet woman , and was by met c accident passing through the village on her Vay hume , at the moment of the untoward event , which koi'ght her to a premature p-nvc . When no service oou W bo rendered her , we hastened back to the village . i »» d found there a poor oldjij aii , named Michael Ifennelly , whose riuhtarm liad biiew perforated by ; v kuilut , and who waslTcativ exhausted from loss of WwuL 'JVith the iiid " of the probe , . it was ascertained tkit tiie bone had not been orokon . the ball having passed ihromth the - fleshv pai-i . ot the arm , and it is hoped that no ulterior danger will result , with care and rudidoiw

      I'herc is one matter more to which , before I close , I must call your special attention , 1 examined c-areiiuJy . iJieuispensMi'y in which the police took refuge , and now observe its position . There is a window and door in front lacing the cross road ; there is no window or aperture to the rear . The stones which knocked in the roof were all thrown from the rear , and yet the liring necessarily was directed a » ainst the people in i ' runt , who could not have been the parties to that attack on the building . I have not time to add more . There are over a hundred and twenty police under arms in the barracks on the Bandon-rbad , under the command of Mr . Walker , sub-inspector of Cork . A messenger has been despatched for the coroner , and 1 shall send you a report of the proceedings ou the inquest with all despatch . BALUNiussio , July 2 , Two o'Clock . Tlie

      utmost excitement prevails tor several miles around . The people , and they are proverbial for exemplary conduct , arc sullen . They arc most respectful to all parties seeking information ; they ask for an impartial investigation—a request that there seems every prospect of having conceded to them . The magistrates—Mr . John lUolony , Air . William Mwule , am ! Air . T . J . Biggs—the coroner , Mr . Franklin Baldwin—the parish priest , the Rev . John Hallinanand a considerable number of the surrounding gentry and respectable farmers , after a consultation have agreed , and it lias been resolved upon , that the inquest shall not commence its sittings until nine o ' clock on Thursday morning , several circumstances concurring to render that course the most prudent . In the meantime , counsel and asrents are to be engaged , the friends and relatives of tho ill fated deceased and wounded—of the former six , of the latter ascertained , 25 ; some , it is feared , mortally—having taken measures to insure justice .

      TWO MORE DEATHS . It appears from the Cork Constitution that the number of lives * lost now amounts to ten , two more of the country people having died of their wounds since the previous accounts .

      AXOTHKU VERSION OP TIIE CONFLICT . In strict justice to the police , who are stated to have submitted to the very utmost provocation before resorting to the last dreadful alternative for the protection of their own lives , it is but fair to give tho Constitution ' s version of the transaction , which is widely different indeed from that furnished by the ' Repeal journals : — " Tho party at the fair consisted of throe constables , two acting constables , and thirteen sub-constables , who had been marched in from different stations , and who were under the command of Mr . J . Kelly , first class sub-inspector of Kinsale , who has been but two months in the district . The business of the fair proceeded as usual up to four o ' clock , when

      symptoms of hostile skjnilicance began to be exhibited amongst the country people . * * * * The leader of one faction , a man named Sullivan , who is better known by the cognomen of' Ranter , ' threw up his hat in the green , and , whirling his stick , gave the laction whoop , when his friends and adherents immediately gathered about him tumultuously . The police , however , interfered , and the men of the opposite party , the 'Keills , ' retired from the green . Ranter ami his party then Jeffc the green , and'took a different road from tho Keills . In a few minutes the latter returned to the green to the number of about two hundred , and a large body of people mounted the ditches around the cross in expectation of a fray . In a moment after Ranter appeared on horseback , and

      rode furiously down the lull , followed by above three hundred men . When he got to tho middle of the cross he pulled up , and , addressing his own pavty in Irish , broke a new hat which he wore , u ^ on * his horse ' s head . This was the signal for attack ; a y ^ followed from those on the cross , whi ^ l 1 . was an swered by another from their opponents on t l- . m . con Hearing this yell of defiance , ; Bjmter le- -oe j from his horse , ami rushed at ftp cutVance to Evcen " hich oi the fcetlk a man named , y ftc grai le j him .- mi vrkn ( ktvggms W- . , tlic ° l A stable * I' '""** ' . ... .-. - " -tnob d .. « mm llannan dashed througu tuc . ' and laid hold of Ranter , who had his coat off at the time , lie atrugglcd for his release , and called upon his faction to rescue him , but tho other policemen

      having como up at the moment , he was lodged in the dispensary . The crowd then surrounded the house , yelling in a hideous manner , and demanding the release of Sullivan , which was of course refused by Mr . Kelly , who told them that it was his duty to convey him before a magistrate . He implored the people to be quiet . There was then a cry of buoikulh , which means ' Strike them . ' The attack commenced , and stones were thrown . The police then got the order to fix bayonets . They did so , but stones fell upon them so fast that they were forced to retreat into the house . When inside , Ranter told them that if they did not release him , every one of them would be kjlleci . To tills Mr . Kcily replied , that he must do his duty , and that was to keep his prisoner . The

      windows were now dashed in , and the order was given to priino and load . This was quickly obeyed , but while the police were in the act of doing so an attempt was made to foree the door , with a cry of ' Drag them out . ' The police attempted to keep the door closed , but it was forced , and one fellow—a very able man—caught the top of ii ,- and tried to drag it into the road , so as to expose the inmates to tlie fury of the mob ; but one of the cons tables . drove his bayonet into the desperado ' s breast , and he fell back . Three others ! of the juwd then seized t . hc door and dragged it into the road . The doorway was now defended b y Constables .

Walsh said ,, that before gobs into evidence it might be well if he stated tho mn ' nf facts of the case . He thought it unnecessary before so-intolligcntajury as the present , with so experienced a cosoaer , to jf ' o into the full details of the case . After some discussion as to hi& riakt

      -Mr . Walsh addressed thejui-y . It wa * not his intention to go into a minute history of tho painful occurrence from the commencement to the fatal termination , or to occupy the time of ths-oonrt and the jury with the details of tho case as tliey separately arose . It was clear that the deaths of all , accordins to his instructions , arose from gun-shot wounds , which had been inflicted by a body of the wmstabulary ; and ho then asked the gentlemen , on the other sid ' e , and the officer of constabulary present { Mr . Inspector Percy ) , whether he was to be furnished with the names and number of the police on ilutv that night

      , and he ( Mr . Scannell ) . appeared for tUc consiabulary ? Mr . Seaimell replied that he coald not adopt a course so singular . If the police were impeached cy . included in the inculpation , they were ready to meet the charge ; and according to . his instructions thev would be able to show that what had been done wis inevitable and indispensable . Tliey would procead in the ordinary way , and would produce for identification the constabulary , if required , but they should decline pointing out single individuals . Mr . Walsh . —Mr . Fitzsimons , are you with iVIr Scannell ?

      Mr . Fitzsunons . —I am not ; I am for a different body of persons altogether . Mr . Walsh . —Then I object to your being hcral , as every man in the crowd could demand a right * to . be heard as representing a number of unknown persons . Mr . Fitzsimons . —I will be put out of court hv main force , or 1 will be heard . ( Sensation . ) Mr . P . O'Connell . —That is a very improper , remark to make in this court , and if I were tkc coroner I would nut you out . ( Increased sensation .. ) . Mr . Fitzsimons . —It would not be tak- ijiat we should bring men forward who have beea charged l > $ a portion of the public press with murdc- % . Mr . O'Connell . —The less you say abaut the rosss the better . We did not charge them with shoeing the villains down . Mr . Fitzsimons . —I think it righVthatwc-. saorild give the names of the whole body of police unte arms that night .

      In answer to numerous inquiries relative to the advantages of taking t « vo or more shares , aud the possibility of those obtaining four acres of ground u lio detin tivo instiffident , I offer tlie following explanation : —A person taking two shares will be eligible to obtain two allotments , but as the decision will be by lot it is probable that one allotment might be in Lancashire and tlie other in Middlesex ; the onlv adranfcige would then be , that he could place a tenant on one of tlie allotments , lint if lie was anxious to ubtiiia a fonr-ncre farm , he must not take possession of Ms first prize , but must be put on a reserved list until his second share had likewise secured a prize , when he could have a fuur-acre allotment , and the additional £ 1510 s . Sd . could either be expended iu erecting a larger cottage and outbuildings , or could be received in cash by the shareholder . The rent paid lor a four-acre farm would be £ lo , or at tbe meeting of shareholders ( which will speedily take place ) it may be decided that persons baling paid up for two shares shall be ( ou drawing a prize ) entitled to a four-acre farm aud tlie additional cash ; but it would not ou any account be advisable to extend the size of the farm ; ibor < : four acres .

      X . B . —Sub-secretaries sending money mustuot on any account deduct for money-orders or other expenditure , but must send an account thereof to me , when it shall bu settled . Allsub ^ ecrfetaricj are requested to immediate ) v send to me the names of each shareholder in their dis " . trict , and tlie total amount each has paid ; stating , also , the number of shares held by each person . Such returns must be made up to Monday " , July 14 th , aud forwarded to me in tlie same week , iu order that I may be possessed of accurate information to lay before tlie General Meeting of Sliareholdors . Thomas "Martin "WnEEtEB , Secretary .
