AMID tlie many and the mighty records of man's discoveries iii the arts and sciences which owe their existence to the unceasing energies and boundless wealth of this commercial empire , posterity will search in vain tlic historical monuments ol departed ages , to discover one more wonderlul or valuable in the annals of a nation ' s greatness , than the iron roads of the nineteenth century—those magnificent highways ot " commerce , ¦ whi ch , extending in every direction their gigantic trunks and literally countless branches , and intersecting in its length as in its breadth the entire Kingdom of Great Britain , avc , to tlie extent of some thousand miles , momentarily traversed with almost lightning rapidity , by the potent agency of Steam . Alobt truly has it been observed that " the philosophy of railroads is only now beginning to be comprehended by the universal world ; daily and rapidly they are developing new an important views of society ; they are . in fact , self-sustaining social instruments , that by cheapening innumerable commodities , and diminishing the cost of transit , arc not only increasing consumption , but crca ng , as it were , in savings new enterprise , new capital , new wants . " , If any changes yet await them ( and , doubtless , there are some ) , they arc changes merely of progression from one stage of improvement to another : but sooner or later the adoption of railroads must become universal , though the broad guage , by reason of its supposed increased safety , with increased speed , should ultimately clash with the narrow , and the maximum of our present velocity should become the minimum of speed hereafter , for while an engine manufactured in 1844 . cannot accomplish the club we between London and Liverpool in less than six hours , we behold another constructed in 1815 traversing the same space in less than lour . The assertion may appear , at first mention , astounding to those quite unacquainted with the fact , and ! n happy ignorance of the great advantages of railroads , even as investments , yet so highly remunerative has been the actual interest only , paid by Railway Companies en the amount of money called for up to the present time , that the effect has positively been to create a new and independent property for Kail way Shareholders , over and above the gross amount of capital advanced by them , of vipwavda of _ . . , ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS STERLING . lhc primary ami the principal , object of this Company is to accomplish , on the more extensive field of continental Europe , as well as in our British possessions throughout the world , what England , with all her wealth , and all her energies , has , from her very limited extent alone , only succeeded as yet in carrying out comparatively in miniature , viz ., the construction of Railroads ; in other words , to acconipiikli by steam power a still more gigantic seheme of nassongcr traffic on land than those extensive ileets of steamers , known as the various Foreign Steam Navigation Companies of England , have hitherto maintained at sea . With such important views , and national as well as individual interests sincerely at heart , accredited ' Directors , with ample resources at their command , in several instances most favourably connected , in all practically and intimately acquainted with the various localities they are destined to proceed to , will be specially delegated , on behalf of the Company , to enter into negoeiations with Continental States and Lritish and roreign Governments , and by contracts of the most favourable nature for the interest of Shareholders in the present Company , to secure the concession of the many exceedingly valuable lines of railway which to the extent of several thousand miles throughout the world , still await the immediate application only of British enterprise , combined with British capital , to be effectually and successfully carried out . An engineering staff , on a scale of liberality sufficiently groat to meet the magnitude of tho undertaking and as perfect in its several appointments as the very highest order of merit ( supported fcy unex ceptionable testimonials ) , can constitute it , will accompany a chosen body of the Directors throughout their travels to guide their judgment on scientific questions , and to reporton engineering matters , such as earth-works costs of construction , and the precise nature of the several soils and gradients . ' The Directors purposely omit all mention of engineering difficulties , because , with the single cxceDtion of physical imnosubilities , experience daily proves that they resolve thcnwelves into the simple question of pv pense , and consequent amount of interest , and are " therefore , more properly speaking matter * f , Z the special consideration of financiers ( rather than of engineers ) , by whom they will be fully debated and With a view toensure not only names of high commercial sift , ding , and possessing likewise extensive ;« fluence with Foreign States , but also practically efficient working Directors , the Executive of thi « Pnmn . has been constituted liberally remunerative ; thus every Director will feel that in his own ^ eiwf « $ ? y lies the secret power of rendering the present project only the fimt of a series of eminently successf . 1 nn , w takings , in the interest of all of which he must necessaril } participate .

      ABERDEEN . Mr JI'Gbath arrived here on Sunday tlic 12 tn Jnst . " and lectured on Monday evening on the L : nl and its capabilities . JUr . JlTliereon in thi than-JIc said tiiat lie Loped that the people c . mic not thereto gratify their curiosity , but to advance the political freedom of their ctmntry ; of all _ » he glorious sMits and scenes which this worid f -ruisli rs , there i 5 ua : > c so glorious as that « f a pe >\< : e ? irug ; iii : g for their liberty . JlfijsaiJ there were those vli-i tolu us , thht we are a free ai . d happy peepta . and , therefore lave no need of such meetings a * -he present , lie then proved tla * there docs exist a necessity fur sucij meetings , by coiitrastiug the couuit ' -un of American slaves vrit ' a the eoi . dition of the su called five

      labourers la our mines and factories ; the condition of the savage vLo roams wild and free over the prairies of central America , with that of the immense mass of outcasts who starve in the midst of oppression and crime in London ; nd other Jargc towns . lie then went on to shew , that it was onlv by a return to the land , from which t . iey and U . efr fathers have been so ruthlessly driven " , that they could expect to change and improve their condition " ; and showed that the land was completely capable Of doing tills , and f : \ riaore . He next reviewed the doctrines of the plausible Malthus , and his disciples of the WI » san : l Tory schools , and , we think , proved , that if there is indeed a surplus population in the country it must be composed of those , who , in the course of their triiolc lives , have never produced

      aught that can or will , 5 n the least decree , add to the wealth or comfort of society , lie then proceeded to unlold and cxplaiu the olijccts and capabilities of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , its infallible security in its being conducted b y such men as U'Counfir , antJ 11 . U-rts , and Dniicoiiibe , than w ] soni no men liave ever better deserved the Jove and confidence of the people of this country . He pointed to the commercial panics that are past , and the certainty of their return , and urged his hearers to join rhe Land Society , and thus fctcuvc to themselves a safe retreat in their hour < tf need . On Tuesday evening Mr . il'Grath lectured on the connection of the Lair . l ijuestini ] with the Charter . SoiitEE . —On Friday evening a soiree was he'd , Mr . John Legg in the chair . The chairman opened

      tUe business with one of those short and pithy speeches for which ihat gentleman is rcuiarlcable , and vas followed by Mr . Alex . 15 . Henry , who responded to the sentiment , "May tJie < li * coiiieut of the people of this country cud in tilth' attainment of political equality , as well as in their social and moral improvement . " Ue said , that he was aware it had been laid down by many men , both iu the past and present jures of the world , that contentment with our condition , vhaUsver that condition may be , is the highest of huin . in attainments . Yet he said lie lookoi uji'jh this idea as one of those falaeies wli : ch Live been handed down from father to son , and from age to a « e , at-d received by the people in : i great truth , without thought or inquiry . For himself , he looked upon discontentas the fountain from which ail

      human improvements had sprung , and from which they must ot necessity ever spring . In proof of this position he reviewed the religious and political changes which have taken place in this country , and the improvements uitiie arts and sciences , which changes and improvements he contended could never have takcu place if tne people had been perfectly contented with their former condition , and that it Tvas their discontent , aided by their knowledge , which had led to all those improvements . Mr . James MTliersoli next responded to the sentiment , " ilay the benefits nf co-operation in land , labour , and inaehiueiy , be sjieeilily extended to all parts of the empire . " lie said that some mi « ht think , as he was already connected ffitli a co-operative store , he might be apt to look with something akin to jealousy on the progress ot the Land society ; but SO far frosn this being the case , lie was ready to assist in forwarding the Laud scheme bv cverv means in

      his power ; for so thoroughly was he convinced of the advantages of co-operation , that he considered that even- thing that went to tench the people the advantages which it could confer upon them , instead of taking from them , would only add to then- numbers , so that the more co-operative stores , and the wider the extension of the Land Society , by so much more would a thorough knowledge of their principles be spread . . Mr . M'Gratli next aililrcssed the 'meeting on the evils « f class misrule—but to » ivc even an outline of his splendid address , we feel to be completely beyond our power . He made us , indeed , feel that he is even- way worthy of the first r . uik among the advocates of our cause . Mr . Strath narc us some of his finest recitations , and . Mr . M'lntosh some of his merriot > ou ;; s—so that Ilia evening w ; is indeed a feast of intellect and i-ationnl mirth . We may add that a branch of the Law !

      MU , Cl . AttK'S TOUR .. To the ChaiitjsT Uouy —Friends , — I promised you in my letter of last wick , that I would tell yon more of 1 ' ei-shore and the condition of the agricultural labourers , as well as the benefit ; resulting from the iiilotui ' -iit system . The evening was far advanced when I alighted at the DeiK . nl Nation , iVoni whence I had to walk to lVishore , a distance of something more- tliau throe wiles . The . sun which had almost completed its diuriial course was fast receding behind tlieJistautliiilsof " Movan , " ; u ; d shedding ils Ruling liktre ois the beautiful " Avon . " The horizon was tuis « l with those lovely streaks of crimson which connoi .-H . -urs of the weather say betoken a fair moirow . Hero and there were to be scec cattle grazing and enjoying' ta . it freedom and plenty uhicii t ! ic ilihu niaui : y ~ of man has denied to his fellow . Orchards lay on cachsicie of the road , ; uii ! bushels of pears

      and apples which had fallen from the trees that overliacg the hedges were scattered on the pathway , no one caring to pick them up . The who ' . c country , as far as the eye could rc ? ch , seemed to be one ui ; i : > tcrruplcd { lajvk'u . llcrt : were no cursed " Rattle Loses" and "long chimneys" to sicken the sight ami desecrate llie cuehaasiug scene . A > till : iess pervaded all aruasul which , unsullied n striking " and plcasJi ! - ^ contrast to the bustle and " business , " taiv . igh which 1 had passed at Birmingham about two hours before . As 1 approached the town I met groups of persons returning from what J thought was a fair , as the " lads and lasses" were all dressed In their huh day attire , but on inquiring 1 found that it was not a fair but a " Mop" or " Statute , " that is an occasion on which the servants and farm labourers meet to cubage with fresh masters or renew their sen'hude with the old ones for another vear .

      The day is 05 : e of both business and pleasure , though 1 learned that many of the labourers had much diflicuJiy iu getting permission to attend the " Mop , " that i-s - such of them asa ^ rce to remain with their old masters , and that such of them as do . succeed Lave , U » rise by tiiae for several mornings previous to th-j Statute day , and work overtime in Jicu of the day which they intend spending in pleasure with t :: eir f : iends ; this too is the only day a ' - lowiti them as a holiday i : i the course of twc 3 « e months . 1 asked what might be the wages paid those persons who were engaging thcmwl ve * for so ioag a term , and tvas tolJ that tlivwn ^ es of men ranged from four to seven pounda jap ahntun , hcsiil ** victua l s and l « d « ii ! gs .

O'Connor is right when he says that tilling the earth is the natural employment of man .

      vaue soil . A few " bullfrogs" were present , as well as the clerk of the parish , who , 1 afterwards learned , was not at att pleased at some of my remarks on the State Church . It was a great advantage to me to have to address a meeting of piJiiical agriculturisls , because , before such men y « u have not to apologise for or explain statements relative to what the land can produce , as there was not a man present who had not known the land in many instances to produce a great deal more than 1 stated it might be made to vield . On the following morning 1 was taken by Mr . Conn tosoe ^ . nje l and which had been let out in small quantities to the working men of a neighbouring parish .

      person in tin neighbourhood that was in the habit of setting plantations for the gentry , and asked him what he thought of planting the land with oak . The man , after going over it , told the squire that he thought he would be foolish to turn it to any such purpose , and advised him to see what could be done by parcelling it out amongst the labouring men of the parish . Accordingly announcement was made that the land , which was then plowing furze , was to be let iu sinaM allotments , at 35 s . per acre , and immediately there arose a strong competition for US P 03 SCSSlOli . As soon as the working men got it they drained

      it and turned it up with the spade ; it consisted in all of about twenty acres . 1 went on it and conversed with some of the men who were engaged in getting in their potatoes , they told me that some had a quarter of an acre , others half an acre , and others a whole aero , in proportion to the numbers of their family . One man told me that from his quarter of an acre he had sold £ 5 worth of early eabbnge , and that he afterwards set late potatoes * in the same ground for which he expected to recieve at least 3 u \ more , and that if it had not been for having the land , small as the quantity was , that he believed himself and all those who Imd the

      same privilege would have been paupers on the parish during some part 01 tllC VCai " , l ) llt as it was , the land found them a little employment , and kept them out of the bastile . Mr . Acton has since let out about twenty acres more , and the consequence is , that in the whole village ( Penvin ) near which the land is situated , there is not a single pauper bu * one old man , ami he is a cripple , aad cannot perform any labour . Day has since tried to get the land attached to the farm again , but Mr . Acton will not take it from the poor men whom he says have made it what it is by their labour and perseverance . The farmers of the neighbourhood were so annoyed at the picture of independence presented by these men , and were so much afraid that other landholders might be induced to follow Mr . Acton ' s example ,

      that they held a meeting amongst themselves , and agreed that no man amongst them should let the poor men have the use of their hovses and-carts to draw manure to the land , or the produce from it , no matter what price they might ofier for them . But one farmer , who had a great number of horses and carts , and who did not go to the meeting , was wise enough to profit by the villainy of the others , for the morning following the meeting of the Solons , this person was as busy as possible with his carts and horses , doing the very thins which the others had agreed they would not do . Now , though the fanners did not succeed in their diabolical scheme , you will see from this how much they dread the labourers getting .-mall plots of land , because they know that as long as the poor fellows arc without land , they

      must work for them alone , and at their own prices too . The farmers have now to pay enormous poorrates , and by cncoHraging the allotment system they might entirely abolish pauperism and destroy the rates ; but no they would rather pay fifty percent , of tiieir profits , than allow their unfortunate slaves to become independent of them . There is another gentleman who lias large estates in the same quarter —Sir Charles Tliuckmortoii . The working men on one of his estates addressed several letteis to his steward , begging to l > c allowed to vent small plots of land , at the same time stating , that they did not care so much about the rent , providing they could get the land . The steward , however , did not take notice of them , and they at length sent a deputation from amongst themselves to Sir Charles to

      make the request of him personally . Sir Charles received them courteously , and at once acceded to their request , and Jet them have from a quarter to ail acre of land each . The farmers no sooner heard of it than they became indignant , and one oftllClll went to Sir Charles aud pointed out to him what would be the consequence of his conduct . The fanner stated that the persons who had an acre of land would be well able to make a living of it , and would not- work for any one ; and in that case he wanted to Iwqw where were the farmers to get labourers from ? Sir diaries doubted that a . man with a family could make a living of one acre of land , but the fanner persisted that a man with one acre of land , and working for hiaiself , would be well able to make double the amount that he would receive if he

      continued to labour for the farmers as before . Sir Charles thought it very curious that a man having a family , ami renting only one acre of land , and paying four pounds a year for it , shouiil be able to mnlcc a living of it , whilst the tanner who complained had four hundred acres of much better land , and only gave one pound an acre for it , was always grumbling that the rent was too high , and that he could not manage to live . "lleaUy , " said Sir Charles , "if what you state be true , J had bettor take the feur hundred acres from you , for which 1 am now receiving only &LOO , * and let it out to the labouring men at the Kite of .- £ - ! per acre , when I may receive £ 1 , 000 . " The " bull-fro « " was struck dumb , ami slunk away cursing his folly , i saw ' several other allotments , . some in the town of Pershoro , and was told that were it r . ot for them that one half the workinsr men would

      be paupers . One man , who rents about the twelfth part of an acre , last year tried the plan of dibbling wheat , as recommended by- Mr . O'Connor . He set ltSS lliail a quarter of a pint of seed , cadi grain being set from four to six inches apart ; and when it came to be thrashed , it produced a bushel of excellent wheat , hi some of the holes he dropped two or three grains , and from them sprung much less wheat than from those grains that had been set singly . I heard of a man , somewhere near 1 ' ershore , who a few years ago bought five acres of land—poor land—of course as the price of it tells ; but lie has since lived upon it , built himself a . comfortable house , and was the other day offered £ 1000 for his bargain , but refuse : _ ! to take it , as he says it is worth more than that to him . Who now will say that the land of this country will not yield enough to maintain its own inhabitants ?

      BIISMISGHAM . On Monday , 13 th , 1 lectured here to a large meeting in the Christian Chartist church . Mr . Alfred Fusscll in the eh ir . I explained the land plan , and at the close , had to encounter the opposition of Mr . J . Mason , who urged Mr . O'Brien ' s objections , to j viik-ii 1 replied , and I think , succeeded in convincing the people , that we could do it if we woidd .

      WOUCESTEIt . I lectured hero 011 Tuesday evening .

      Lo . n » o . \ Cons Excuasoe , Monday , Oct . 20 . —The past week's arrivals of English wheat for our market , coastwise , were on a moderately extensive scale , but very middling quality , especially as relates to the parcels of new received from Cambridgeshire . Of other grain of home produce , except peas , the receipts wore limited . The imports of foreign wheat and oats were on the increase , but only a small supply of oats reached us-from Ireland . Fresh up to-day , coastwise , as well as by land carriage aud sample , very little English wheat came to hand , yet , as several large parcels were left over on Friday , we had a fair average quantity on offer . This , together with the accounts from the north coming more

      favourable as relates to the ingathering of the outstanding crops , caused the demand ( notwithstanding the largo attendance of both town and country buyers ) to be less active than fi . r some time past ' ; nevertheless , a full average amount of business was doing in the article , and the advance noticed in the Quotations on Monday last was steadily supported . The show of free foreigu wheat was by n « mc-aus large . The best qualities of both red and white commanded a steady , though r . ot to say brisk inquiry ; and last week's prices were obtained in every instance . The middling and inferior kinds , however , commanded very little attention , yet they were not considered cheaper . A few parcels of wheat , barley , and oats , under lock , were taken for speculative purposes . For shipment there was little or no inquiry .

      Scarcely any English barley was on show ; while the supply of free foreign was small . The barley trade was active , and extreme prices were paid for selected parcels of both old and new , Superfine old malt was the turn dearer , with an active demand . The value of other kinds was maintained without difficulty . Although upwards of 10 , 000 quarters of oats came to hand from Ireland last week , very few oats were on offer to-day . The oat trade was , therefore , brisk , at an improvement on last Monday ' s quotations of from Is . to 2 s . per quarter , at which the whole were speedily cleared off . The supply of beans was by no means " large , yet the sale was rather inactive at late rates . Peas , " from their abundance , moved off slowly , at about stationary prices . The flour trade was steady at full quotations . In steds rather more business was do ' iDtr .
