THE QUAKER COTTON LORD AND II IS WHISTLE . . Vie . had always anticipated that those who have realized fortunes by slave labour wou d sooner or later be driven info open opposition to the Chartist Co-operative Land Company ; and it has fallen to the lot of the most griping , most cruel , and most lying of the whole fraternity of the coldblooded tribe of political economists to hire a very suitable tool for the . accomplishment of bis very laudable purpose . Some short time ago , upon our return from Manchester , we were informed that a very inquisitive traveller had paid a visit to
Herringsgate estate , and who professed himself to be an acquaintance of Mr . O'Connor . It now appears that tins individual was Mr . Somerville , a person who has assumed the cognomen of " One who has whistled at the plough . " Now , had « -e been aware of the person who thus honoured us with a call , the former services of that individual to the cause of Bright and Co ., would have led us to expect a furious denunciation of our system in the outset . But the " OLD SOLDIER , " aware of the humiliating position of his old masters , adopted the
more insidious , but less ingenious plan of buttering us first , that we might be the more easily swallowed at a gulp . Of course there is a deep and sensitive interest displayed in the comfort , condition , and protection of the working classes , by one who will doom himself to a four hundred miles journey , and a three hours' trutl ge over BAD ROADS , in the dreary winter season . A sympathy which , if sincere and paid for by the tourist , would naturally carry with it all that conviction which properly belongs to the sympathetic and kind-hearted .
The GENTLEMAN who whistles at the plough distinguish ^ our operations at Herringsgate by a very fascinating notice , in which there was no mention of the " drunken plasterers , " " shavings benches" and " apprentices" that were doing nothing in the school-house . There is much in the first introduction of a stranger , and fatal conscsequences not unfrequently follow a hastily-conceived impression . Our enquirer , selected no doubt upon many occasions for his sagacity , was aware Of
the effect that a first impression produces , and was there : orc lavish in a description of that ocular delight which has been dispelled by a most , praise , worthy , and of course DISINTERESTED , investigation of the means of carrying out the objects of the society . In the first place we shall deal with the fallacies of our fr ' end , not to call them by a hariher name , and then we shall chronicle all those lucubrations which tuny be properly classed as warnings to those who are the supposed dupes of the management , or their own fervid imagination .
The first important announcement of our friend is , that when the windows were open , the rain blew in , and , wonderful to say , wet the floors and the plaster . No . 2 . —Our friend ' s observation was so minute , that the act of closing the windows drew his attention to the description of timber used , and that his guide informed him that it had grown upon the estate . This is faise , uiterly false , not a particle uf timber in the doors , windows , frames or sashes , is other than the best seasoned old oak , hard as stone , and two hundred years old , and the best foreign-timber .
No . 3 . —Our friend informs us of the neglect of the plasterers , ( of which we were the first to complain ) , and adds the falsehood that there were others iu the school-house idle , in consequence of their dissipation . Now , what ' s the fact ? there was not an apprentice employed upon the estate , and the only parties at work in the school-house were most attentive , honest , hard working plasterers , who bad taken that part of the job and executed it well , according to contract ; and , in passing , we would request our friend , when he next honours us with a

visit , not to lake our men to the public house , and idle them there for a considerable time . , No . 4 . —Our friend tells us that he GUESSED , by the sound of a loom , that a weaver was at work in one of the houses he visited , but he tells us that the Lancashire man was too busy , at his trade to enter into conversation with him ; but that he dis . covered , from the wife , that the roads were so bad that she could not go out after dark . If such was the cause and effect , we have no doubt her husband would have an interest in bad roads ; but the woman told him no such thing , as we assert , without fear of contradiction , that there arc not as good roads upon any farm of the same extent in England . No . 5 . —Our friend tells us that near the weaver ' s
house is a draw well , sunk 126 feet , and with very little water in it at present . It is sunk 166 feet , and he shall name his own price , and select his own companion for emptying it during his life . This man talks of the difficulty of getting water , whereas , not a house on the estate is 120 yards distant from the best spring water , while each house has the best galvanised-iron spouts and pipes for collecting soft water . There are three splentlid wells , conveniently situated . And whereas , of old , the occupants and neighbours had to go a considerable distance for water , now the neighbouring farmers will have to come to the Chartist Estate for their supplv .
This bagman of the League takes us to task for having imitated the Socialists , in our disregard of political economy . We trust he has heard of the intention of the free trade masters of Lancashire to stop their mills for a period o ( ten days , alter Christmas , during which time , as a matter of course , the hands will be fed on Christmas fare , and will be excused from the payment of rent . No . 6—This economist charms us , and actually puts us out of conceit with our plan , when he assures us that those who were disappointed at Harmony , instead of breaking their backs and toiling and sweating at spade labour , might have earned two guineas a week by merely GUIDING MACHINES at Manchester ; lmfrhe has not told us of a single CRIPPLE , DWARP , or HUNCHBACK , made by this back-breaking process .
No . 7 . —Our friend tells us that the socialists at Harmony , if they wishad to read and learn , had the very books from which Mr . O'Connor had compiled his work . We don ' t think he has ever read a page of it , fur if he had , he would have discovered that every lisie was original , and tiiken from Mr . O'Connor's owu experience . No . 8 . —Our geologist concludes his series of white lies , with a comment upon the original rules of the society , and of the alterations iu which he appears to be totally ignorant , and then he winds up his two column thunder in John Blight ' s League paper , as follows : —
But of far greater impm-tar . ee , nay , of painful interest , an ; the questions which will arise after this lias j ; ot its solution , namely , how are the 6 , 000 shaveli < ii
supposing it possible fur the scheme to no on until all tbe working- population of the kingdom hiive be * come shareholders , is the supposed plenty and contentment to hi ; diffused and enjoyed , when no more th : itone hundredth part , if the farms be o ' two acres each , or one two hundredth part , if the farms be tour aevt-s each , of the population has got the nliottcd hind ? How , if the land is mortgaged when tenanted l > y the Chartist prizeholders , to raise money t- » purchase move , will the tenants and the original shareholders be protected if the mortgagees foreclose : md soize on all house * and other property for the mortgage money ? What will be dune if the
estate * are sold to a landlord who would evict the tenants ? How , if the tenants are to have lenses'for life , to protect them from eviction , arc such legal documents to be paid for out of tho £ 15 which is already eriffiiiicd to t . he performance of so many duties between February and August ? How , it even with such a legal protection the tenants should fall into an arrear of rent , or the trustees into an arrear of the mortgagees' per ccntnge ? How , if there should be sGcli tilings as vary dry summers or very bad harvests ? llow , if in the beBtof seasons the land should notyif . 'ld more tti . 'in a half of the miraculous products predicted tor it in Mr . O'Connor ' s book ? How , iftUe
trustees nnd directors should not be-all honest , and sell an estate without rendering up the money ? How , if the society , not being chartered by incorporation , not btfini ; ceitilied under the Benefit Societies' Act , and not being legally registered under the Joint Stock Companies' Act oflast session , thuu » h professing . so to he , should be outof tbe pule of the law , giving its shareholders no prcteetiou from its defaulters , or from one auother ? How , if the society ' s directors should be capab ' e of saying in the balance sheet ol 2 ' tUh September . 18-16 , that " your officers cannot conclude without expressing their gratification that , notwithstanding the mini' obstacles thrown in the way of procuring the enrolment << f the society , they
have at length succeeded in placing it under the protection « f the law , by procuring ' the registration of the society underthc Joint Stock Companies' Act ; this will giro increased cnnfiiien < -e to persons about joining the society , and secure due diligence and honesty on the part of thu officers . " How , if the xilid officers said this knowing that the society is not legally enrolled , and con not he under that act , so long ns they withhold any one ( of which they have withheld many ) of the documents published by the so . ciety—how , I aay , if directors , using one species of deception on the shareholders , should , to get in larije subscriptions of ready cash , use other deceptions and be still unpunishable U >\ la \ v ?"
Of all the imputations implied to those queries I shall cive affirmative proofs . In sorrow 1 shall do so . When I first heard of this society , I was fall of hope that at last working men were associating together to acquire property for the benefit of them selves , and for the attainment of that political and social status which honest industry entitles themto look to . But , on getting gtn : h of the publications of this society as could be obtained attrr much
difficulty , I have carefully studied them , and the rules , and can come to no other conclusion than this , that of all the bubble joint stock companies of recent times the Chartist Land Company is the hollowest find most unstable bubble ; that it has begun in a delusion defying all the rational principles of honest business , and must end , i-ither in an early swindle by some of its members , or in the ultimate ruin of all its property .
There is really such a jumble of insolence , fallacy , presumption , and miscalculation pervading the above , that one is at a loss how to deal with it in any reasonable space . This calculator presumes that there is an end to the society when sixty of the six thousand shareholders are located ; precisely we presume as he would argue that there would bean end of friend Bright's mill , the employment of his hands and his profits as soon as the stock in hand was worked up , wholly forgetting a slight principle of political economy called buying and selling—that the manufactured article , which represents our allotted ground , is disposed of for the purpose of purchasing fresh raw material .
How will the shareholders or the occupants be protected if the mortgagee was lo foreclose , or the landlord to evict ? Why , booby , by the title under which they hold , and beyond the rent or rent-charge in which , neither mortgagee or proprietor could exact a farthing . As far as the shareholders , or occupants and shareholders are concerned , sale or mortgage would simply imply transfer of payment from A . to B . or C , without any power in B . or C to increase the rent , or alter the conditions under which the occupants derived their title from A . ; but the wiseacre who seems to have taken great pains with the investigation of our affairs , has overlooked the fact that the company ' s estates are neither to be MORTGAGED NOK SOLD .
The legal documents conferring the estate in fee upon the occupants , are not to be charged out of the £ 15 ! they are to be paid by the society , and the cost price charged to the occupant as rent charge , at the rale of £ 5 per cent . ; the ad valorem stamp for conveying the two acre allotment to the occupant jn foe will cost £ 2 103 ., and the occupant will pay 2 s . Gd . a year for it ; the stamp for conveying the four acre allotment will cost £ i 15 s ., and the occupant will pay 3 s . 9 d . a year ; this is the value of co-operation , as the Whistler will see that no poor

man Could accomplish this for ' himsei ' v » f he . . had the chance , added to which a clear and indispu * aole title is made out for him . How if the tenant could not pay his rent ? and how if the trustees should fall into an arrear of interest ? and how if the summer should be hot ?—In tbe middle of tho day , when the sun doth Bhino , What tbo dovil shall I do with this loom of mine ? Jn the middle of the dor , when thn sun shines hot , What the devil shall I do with my two acre spot !
Hit these economists high or low , there ' s no pleasing them . In winter the occupants will shiver at home for want of roads to go out after dark , and in summer they ' ll melt for want of water . How if the men who guide the machines at Manchester should not earn a fourth part as much as stipulated hy the " Whistler ? " and how if they should earn three times as much as guaranteed by Mr . O'Connor ' s book ? How if the tyrant cotton lord couldn't have their labour at his own price ? How if he eouldn ' t eject them from his own house without
conveyance or lease ? How if he couldn ' t stamp them as conspirators to protect his own monopoly ? and how if ten masters were obliged to court the one free labourer , instead of a swarra of the idle reserve being obliged to solicit the starvation pittance established by the caprice of a grinding monopolist ? How if the master manufacturers should . be all rogues , and buy an estate without rendering up an account to those from whose blood and sweat it was extracted ? and how if the producing hand should be consigned to the bastile , while the idle speculator is revelling upon its unrequited labour ?
How if the deed for complete registration should be completed , and should be in process of being engrossed ? aud how if , ere long , Messrs , Clark and Doyle should he upon a tour to witness the signature of every shareholder f and how if a trustee or director should whistle himself across the water hy any fraudulent act committed against the Company ? And how if the trustees and directors themselves were the most anxious for this legal protection ? and how if , without any legal interference whatever we should have sufficient confidence in our own integrity not to abstract from , or injudiciously apply a farthing in a million of the poor man's funds ?
How , if the Directors should not have withheld any document for the complete registration , and how , if the " Whistler" should be a League spy , employed by his heartless masters to try his hand at breaking up a combination which threatens destruction to their rule and his office ? When our friend first heard of this society , he was full of hope Bah ! at whose expense did he travel from . . Manchester to Herringsgate , and back in the depth of winter , and for whose gratification , did he receive two columns of friend Bright ' s paper to send his lucubrations to the world ? Now , as we are shortly to
be better engaged than exposing the sophistry and h ypocrisy-of pretended friends , and as it is of all things necessary that the working classes should he enlightened upon a science to which alone they can look for redemption from their present state of slavery , and as we have looked to discussion before a free audience as the best means of arriving at the truth upon a disputed subject , we challenge the " 'Whistler" to meet us in Manchester at any time most convenient to himself , for one , two , three , or six nights' discussion , when we will give him all tbe aid he can enlist , and when we undertake to prove that , with the aid of the Bank , we can locate , not
six thousand members in six years , but ten thousand members in five years , and that when the Company ' s affairs are wound up not a farthing will be missing or misapplied that comes to the / rreasurer ' s hands , and that at that period every located member , from the small sum paid as his share , will be nearly , if , not wholly , in . possession of their respective allotments , and in the enjoyment of a field for the exercise of their free labour , without any rent at all . We always knew that tbe co-operation of the many would be met b y tbe conspiracy of the few , and , therefore , the " Whistler" must meet us in discussion , and must not shelter himself under the pretext that he
CANNOT WHISTLE WITH HIS MOUTH OPEN . He may -write his queries , every one of which we will answer , and we will give him half hour for half hour , until an impartial Jury has heard enough to enable them to decide for themselves . How , if the sky should fall , and we should catch larks ?

rO DANIEL O'CONtfELL , THE LIBERATOR OF IRELAND . Old man ! behold the picture of your country after a long life ' s abuse of its confidence . It is a bitter draught for any : if you have a heart , it must be gall and wormwood to you . Behold the stream of Ireland ' s prosperty . Stand on the brink of it , dissolute man , Think of it , drink of it , then it you can . A letter addressed to the Duke of Wellington by Mr . N . Gumming , a magistrate of the county of Cork : — " My Lord Dul'e , —Without apology or preface , 1 presume so far to trespass on your Grace as to state to you , and by the use of yo ur illustrious name to present to the British publis , the following statement uf what I have myself seen within the last three days .
" Having for many years been intimately connected with the western portion of the county of'Cork , and possessing some small property there , I thought it rialit personally to investigate the truth of the several lamentable accounts which had reached me , of the appalling state of misery to which that part of ( he country was reduced . ' I accordingly went on the 15 th insfc . to Skibbe reon , and to give the instance of one townland which I visited , as an example of the state of the entire coast district , I shall state simply what I there saw . It Is situated on the eastern side of Gastlchaven harbour , and is named South Reen , in the parish of Myross . Being aware that I sfiouJd have to witness scenes of frightful hunger , I provided myself with as muoh bread as five men could carry , and on reaching the spot I was surprised to find the wretched hamlet apparently deserted . 1 entered some of the hovels
t « ascertain the cause , and ihe scenes that presented themselves were such as no tongue or pen can convey the slightest idea of . In the first , six famished and uhastly skeletons , by all appearance dead , were hu-idled in a corner on some filthy straw , their sols covering what seemed a ranged horsecloth , their wretched le > - » Jinnging about , naked abovo tho kneoa . I approached with horror , and found by a low moanin ? they were alive—tlu-y were in fever , four children , a woman , and what had once been a roan . It is impossible to « o through the detail . Suffice it to say , that in a few minutes 1 was surrounded by at least twohuudredof sueh phantoms , such frightful spectres as no words can describe . By far the greater number were delirious , either from famine or from fever , Their demoniac yella are still ringing in my cars , and their horrible images are fixed upon my brain . My heart sickens at the recital , but I must
goon . " In another case , decency would forbid what follows , but it must be told . My clothes were nearly torn off in my endeavour to escape from the throng of pestilence around , when my neckcloth was seized from behind by a jjripe which compelled me to turn . I found myself grasped by . a woman with an infant just born in her arms , and the remains of a filthy sack across her loins—the sole covering of-herself and babe . The same morning the police opened n house on the adjoining lands , which was observed shut for many days , and two frozen corpses wer « found , lying upon the mud floor , half devoured by the rats .
A mother , herself in a fever , was seen the same , day to drag out the corpse of her child , a girl about . twelve , perfectly naked , and leave it half covered with stones . In another house , within 500 yards ci ' the cavalry station at ; Skibbcieen , the dispensary doctor found seven wretches lying , unable to move under the same cloak . One had been dead nv . \ uv hours , but the othere were unable to move either themselves or the corpse . ' . 'J- ' owhat purpose should I multiply such cases Ifthe 8 e be not sufficient , neither would they hear who have the power to send relief , and do not , even ' though one came from the dead . ' Let them , however , believe and tremble , that they shall ono dav hear the Judge of all tbe earth pronounco their tremendous doom , with the addition , ' i was an hungered and ye gave mo no meat , thirsty and ye gave me no drink , naked and ye clothed me not '
But I forget to whom this is addressed . My Lord , you are an old and justly honoured wan . ft is yet in your power to add another hououi-\ o your age , to fix another star , and that the briglU

WEEKLY REVIEW .-The day for the re-assembling of Parliament has been announced by royal proclamation , and within four weeks from this time , St . Stephens will be again the arena of debate " in divers urgent and important matters . " Last session was commenced at an unusually early period , on the 21 st of January . The forthcoming session will he earlier by two days , being summoned for th « 19 th . Looking at the way in which , of late years , the sessions have been
lengthened , we should not wonder , ere long , to see them extend from Christinas to Christmas , with only a few days allowance of holiday . The only cure for these protracted , wearisome , and , to a considerable extent , useless sittings , is for the Parliament to divest itself of its anomalous functions as respects private bills and local improvements , and to confine itself exclusively to imperial business . A Local Legislature in Edinburgh and another either in Birmingham or London , to which all private bill business , railway , harbour , municipal , and other iraprovement Acts should be referred , would not onlv
do the work better and more cheaply , if such bodies were properly constituted , but would leave the superior Parliament more free for the consideration of all matters of national importance . The rapid extension of our colonies , and the growing importance of our foreign relations , not less than the additional labours which Legislative interference in sanatory , educational , and other similar matters will require , demand that the time of the Imperial Legislature should not be occupied by any but questions of a general character . Of course it would still act , when necessary , as a Court of Review or Appeal on divisions in the inferior Legislatures .
The cause for the early assembling of the two houses is , no doubt , to be found in the present alarming aspect of affairs in the sister country . It is rumoured , that the Ministry have prepared a series of measures for that unliappy country , of which a Bill for the reclamation and improvement of the waste lands , as well as a better cultivation of the land already under culture , is to form a portion . We shall wait anxiously to see the truth of this statement . We have no great faith in Whig promises or Whig statesmen , but if they fairly and honestly take up the Land Question and grapple with it upon intelligible and honest grounds , they will go far to reconcile us to their stay in office .
Time will try whether they are" up to the mark " r not . In the meantime we reiterate that nothing short of a Radical and complete Land Measure will be of the slightest use to Ireland . The commencement of such improvements as are involved in both these renounced measures could administer immediate relief where distress is now most severly felt , and contribute most effectually to prevent the recurrence of the present frightful state of things . They open an almost boundless field of permanent employment
to the able bouied population . By creating new capital upon a secure basis by the application of equitable principles to the ownership of the reclaimed wastes , and thereby giving the sense of an immediate and permanent interest in the soil , a change almost magical would be effected in Ireland . She has all the natural capabilities that the most sanguine could desire . Just institutions are all that is wanting to convert what is now the disgrace at the British Empire into its glory .
It is said that the means by which Government intends to carry out its views is , by advances from the public purse . Such sums will be advanced as may be deemed most advisable , under the peculiar circumstances of each case : the usual rate of interest will be charged , and the amount advanced will , after the lapse of a certain period , be repaid to the State by easy instalments . Power will be reserved
by tbe Government io put up for public sale those lands which have been improved at the public expense , should the iuterest or instalments not be duly paid . In short , in its leading features the rumoured Ministerial scheme is founded upon the Chartist Land Plan , and will aim at effecting , with the machinery and appliances of the State , similar results as those which the British Chartists are effecting by voluntary efforts .
If the present appalling condition of Ireland has the effect of forcing a Whig Government , and a Parliament composed of landlords and capitalist ? , i nto the adoption of a measure which will really give the people a proprietary interest in the soil on which they live and labour ; then indeed will this calamity not have occurred without leaving salutary effects behind it . While we cannot help feeling deeply and painfully for the immediate sufferers—those
who perish from cold , hunger , and disease—whose uncoffiiied and emaciated corpses cry afoud to Heaven against the foul system by which they have been murdered—yet we may take consolation , that out of this evil , permanent good is likely to be educed , and that ignorance and selfishness will at last be frightened into the adoption of that policy , which knowledge and benevolence have long advocated but in vain .
Our columns , this week , show an increase of the misery which devastates Ireland—the whole country seems to be suffering . Famine has spread everywhere—the victims , by hundreds , go raving mad or die in dozens , in hovels destitute alike of good , fire and clothing . And the mountebanks of Burgh Quay all this time keep squabbling with Young Ireland , and talking sublime nonsense about " physical ' orce . "
At home , the inclemency of the season is beginning to tell upon our own poor . In the columns of the daily journals the heading " Another Death from Starvation" is becoming far too familiar to the eye . Hut there is something so awful involved in the fact of a human being dying from starvation , that it should never be suffered to pass from the mind as a mere piece of news , to be read and forgotten—while such horrible events occur they are emphatic protests against the institutions under which they take place The blood of our murdered brethren rises to heaven against us . Great Britain possesses ample means
for employing , feeding , clothing , and sheltering all its population . If any perish for want , the blame rests with the laws and the false system of distribution by " which such cruel results are produced . It is strange that nearly nineteen centuries and a half have , passed away ^ smcc tbe lig ht o £ Christianity was iirst shed on the world . and yet we have not learned to » practice its primary and simplest precepts . The carols which announce Christmas . and the rejoicings which hallow that commemoration of the introduction of a new system based o » lha gt'eat and glorious principle of brotherly love , —hand dawn to U 9 : aditioually the meaning and intent of the " Good
