      My Dear Friesds , I daresay many of you have heard the cannons roaring , and the belli pealing forth their chimes © f joy , to celebrate the brutal massacre of thousands of your order who had heedlessly hired themselves to shed human blood , to uphold tyrant rule . Now . won ' t that be a fairy tale in a few years , when I shall have located some thousands upon the land , whom no power on earth could induce to become murderers ? Who will then believe that men who could earn 10 s . a day by honest industry , IF ALLOWED , were compelled to turn human butchers to earn a livelihood ?

      On Saturday , the lsto . { May , who will be the greatest conqueror that has yet appeared in the field of glory ? Who has ever said , " Look round ! behold my victory in the peoples smiles ! "—No one ; it has ever been manifest in the howls of the wounded , the groans of the dy in <> -, the tears of the widow , and the sobs of the orphan . On Saturday , May the 1 st , everv bell in England should peal forth notes of joy , and every working man should sing a song of gladness , because the path to Freedom

      will have been opened , and the prize at the end easy of acquirement . I say , that there never was such a day forEnglaud and the world as the 1 st May , 1847 , W » H be ; and that the beginning which will then be made will sap , and undermine , and overthrow the whole edifice of Corruption , Monopoly , and Misrule . At twelve o ' clock on that day your brethren will be each put in possession of his estate for ever ; and when that hour arrives , you may suppose what my pride—my pardonable pride —will be .

      "While quacks are devising means to perpetuate ignorance by a false system of education , and while economists , who cannot employ you three hours a day , are grumbling at lizniting the labour of females and little children to TEN HOURS A DAY , , 1 am trying to INDUCE you to work fifteen hours a day while young , that you may rest when you are old . 1 shall sleep at Herringsgate on Saturday night , and , asl promised to toll the School bell even on Sunday morning , that I may have the satisfaction of hearing all my children , oldandyounff , exclaim , "DAMN THE FACTORY BELL ! " your feelings will be . the

      best answer to my accusers , and the opponents of the plan , when you sit down in your own house , from which no tyrant can hunt you ; and when you are located , you and your children , and your children ' s children— if I shall live to see my great-grandchildren—shall ever be the chief objects of my every care ; and thought ; and I WONT ROB YOU , neglect you , or diminish your store of happiness ; but 1 will work the harder to assist the needy , as I would sorrow- greatly if any lost the nest I built , for him and his family . Wishing that we may have a fine day , as many friends are coming from all parts of the country to witness the novel spectacle of slaves

      being turned into freemen , by the , charmer ' s wand , ^ I am , Your faithful and affectionate Friend , Feargus O'Connor . P . S . —All persons to be located on Herringsgate on the 1 st May , coming from Gloucester , Reading , Worcester , Wale 3 , Pershore , and those parts , will go by Great-Western Railway to West Drayton , and from thence through Uxbridge to Herringsgate , which 19 seven miles from Uxbridge ; and persons coming from the North will come by the Birmingham line to Watford station , and thence to Rickmansworth , which is within two-and-ahalf miles of Herringsgate .

      o a li b s MR . PERRY'S LETTER AND MR : O'CONNOR'S REPLY . It is impossible for us to publish in lull all the resnlutioHs we have received on the subject of JMr Perry ' s letter and Mr O'Connor ' s reply . The following first came to hand : — Towns Uahiets . — Globe and Friends , Sunday evening . —At the conclusion of Mr Harrison ' s lecture on the Six Points of the Charter , Mr Shaw read from the Star Mr Perry ' s letter and Mr O'Connor ' s reply , and after some remarks proposed the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr Pearce , of Limebouse , and unanimously carried amidst the cheers of all present : —

      J h C n * it u p e * t * « « That having heard « ad from the Star a letter signed John Perry , and addressed to the directors and shareholders of the Chartist Land Company , and also Mr O'Connor ' s answer to the same , are of opinion that the writer of the satd letter was actuated by disappointed , vindictive and malicious motives , and foel convinced that it mas dictated in that pirit , impugning tbe conduct Of Mr O'Connor , with a view to destroy tho well-earned popularity of that gentleman , ana in order to lessen the estimation in which he is held by the working classes of this country ; we , therefore , hereby declare our unbounded and unqualified confidencei * the honour , integrity and judgment of Mr Feargtu O'Connor , and confidently entertain a hope that all such mean , pitiful , contemptible aod cowardly attempts to injure his character may recoil with tenfold force on such sneaking ,

      « i ' ' ' I * * * l B 3 ' ' ' deceptive , idle , bungling , tinkering or peddling politicians , for we are satisfied that the promulgation ol their lying and slanderous statements will have an effect on tho mind * of the reflecting portion of the industrious classes the very merse of that anticipated hy the peoplo ' a false friend . ; fer after a life so usefully and energetically devoied to the benvfit of the poor and oppressed , it is folly for all the disappointed curs in thennirerit to endeavour to eradicate that deep-rooted affection felt toy a grateful peopla for their leader and deliverer ; therefore , je Perrys , and all other insignificant would , be leaders , fire away ! O'Connor is invulnerable ! and the shafts of jour satireand abuse will fall as powerless a » your own knavish crew of malcontents ; yet in future select f ome other bntt on which you mar hope to obtain a little unenviable notoriety by the fulmiaation of jour "fcat « n . tf ( fi \ tfcj froxh .

The firm and secure basis on which the plan is founded ; the fair and equitable mode by which it is intended to be carried out ; and the virtuous , lovely , and hol > character of the plan itself , will henceforth

      bid defiance to all opposition , bo matter of what nam Arn hlch c * bright to bear agahwt it ; and ( as Mr 0 Connor says ) its | success now depends upon our own individual resolution and self-reliance ; and , in order to stimulate that resolution , I strongly advis ; -, nay , more , I beg of every member of the Company to possess himself of a copy of this month ' s m g-zim ? . and not only read it himself , but read it to all hi * friends and relations , by whom he may be surrounded . There is ono thing which I perhaps imprudently regret , and His this : Mr O'Connor ' * determination to limit his connection to 84 000 . or four sections . No doubt that gentleman sees the propriety of doing tkis , and will be warranted , by bis knowledge and foresight of the plan , to stand by his determination ; but I think the company , bein « in

      an intaol , state , tho public mind hasnot had sufficient time to awaken itself , and that , juat a » it is bestirrins ; itself and rousing into action , the uuore of the company will be closed . Should this meet the eye of Mr O'Connor , perhaps h » will at Bome future period ( it not affecting the welfare of the company ) give us his reasons for closing so early , because he h » 3 admitted ( and which I think not at all impossible ) , that he could as easily purchase ten thousand acres of land ever > month , as he could one estate in the year ; and as easily build ten thousand houses , as one hundred , within the year . I trust that I shall not be deemed impertinent for indulging in these remarks , as my sole motive in penning these lines , is a desire to induce the members of the company to extend throughout the whoIeJength and breadth of the land , " atreatiseas durable as the land itself .

      Death from Hydrophobia . —k f * sw days since E . Mannell . a painter , living in ; Willmott street , uulme , died oi this horrible malad y . One evening last Christmas lie was seated at the fire , and happening to move his foot , his dog—a brown and black terrier , which he had about six wetks—snapped at it ; up ° n which he gave it a blow with his right hand , which the dog also snapped at and bit , grazing the skin , as from the scratch of a pin , about one-third of an inch in length . He showed the wound to his mother , and a neighbour who was in tho hou e at the time . The hand swelled a little , and was somewhat inflamed , for a minute or two ; but as it soon healed , it was no farther noticed . He took the dox oat with him , about an hour afterwardswith a

      , strap round its neck , to prevent its bitipg any one else , and on returning home was abuut to put it in the cellar , intending to keep it there in future , when the dog escaped from him , and was neither seen nor heard of afterwards . About five weeks after the above occurrence , Mannell suffered a cat to take a piece of bread from his mouth , when the oat bit his upper lip ; the lip was swollen a short time , . but it passed off without further notice . Mannell continued to work regularly in usual health , till . Sunday , the 28 th ult ., when his mother noticed that he appeared to be heavy and sleepy , and in the atternoon he went to lie down . On the Tuisdaj following , he complained of drowsiness in the middli ot the day , and slept till nearly one o ' clscklit

      . went to work , but returned home in about thn-equarters of an hour , complaining very much of a weighty pain in his bowels , lie got worse , and in the evening Mr Clubb , surgeon , was called in . Mr Clubb , when he first attended the deceased , f . und him labouring under Rreat difficult y of breathing There was great hardness , too , of the bowels Tht obstruction to the breathing came by paroxysms , and some medicine being mentioned , appeared to have the effect of producing one . He said , " Don't sen " me any medicine . " Mr Clubb asked , " Why V Deceased sighed heavily , and said , " I have a diflicuity in swallowing . " Mr Clubb then began to sus peot that the deceased was afflicted with

      hydrophobia . The deceased was asked if he would take some water . He said , " I will try ; I feel very thirsty ;" but he sighed and shuddered at mention of it , aid on his mother offering to put the cup to his mouth , "ftil ? 1 ! i 'T- the c , t 0 m - " IIe took il with both hands sighing and sobbing very much , and after making two or three attempts to raise it to liN mouth , put it down , and fell backwards in the bed . seized with a spasm at the sight of the fluid , and he did not take any . He continued to grow woise gradually , and died on Monday the 5 th It was thought necessary to hold an inquest upon the body . iF J e ^^ , rne i i . . ve dict " Tllat th e deceased had died of hydrophobia .

      PUBLIC MEETING AT BSPTFORD . A numerously attended meetittg in favour of the hon . member far Fiusbury ' a luotion , was held onwednesday evening , ? t the Red Lion and Wheat sheaf , High-street , Deptftird . The long room was crowded . The placard convening the meeting called upon Admiral Duudus , one of the numbers for tkt borough , to attend , and show cause why he opposed Mr Duncombe ' s recent motwn . Mr Howes , a bookseller olf Deptford Bri ( lge twas unasiimously called to the chair , and read the follow . ing very lame apology from the gallant Admiral : — Admiralty , April 20 . IStf .

      Sir , —My reoeon for voting as I did on MrT . Duucombe ' s motion was , —Tnat 1 know from experience the difficulty of getting in rates called for the relief of the poor ; and I ennnut Gee why the man who pa ; s his mon ? y at once , is to be placed on the same footing as his neigh . bour , |« ho does not pay until he is either summoned b > the authorities , and puts the parish to expense 1 >) obliging him to pay , or , as often take& place , the tenant who has to pajremuves su-idenly , snid « he landlord has the pavment thrown upon him . The Queen ' s taxes are not of such consequence in rny opinion , and lunger time than is now allowed ought to be givtn—and 1 hope this will be a measure soon taken up by the government Already » bill is introduced by SirDa Lacy Evans uud another member , thitt will , 1 trust , amend the present

      mode of collecting tlie revenue , I have been loiig engaged for to-morrow evening , and I do nut tee thut my coming to Deptford , if I could , would enable me to give other expl ; uiulioB& \ ha « I now liuve done , and' my constituents will soon have an opportunity oi showing me how they consider I have done my duty , as a general election cannot be far off . It would be very singular , if n member who for many jearu has enjoyed the confidence of such a constituency aB Greenwich , should lose outold friend , because he happens to think diftmrtl ) - an any one subject . I am notafraid of this ; and if God spares me my life , I hope to stand before juu again inul get your indepondtnt support . Yours sincerely , J , D . DUNOAH ,

      The chairman said he could not see tho justice of a tax collector standing in the way between a ma » and his franchise . ( Loud cheers . ) Us had been informed that there was a Reform club established inthat borough ; if that was the case he contended that it was the duty of that body to watch with a jealous eye , and guard the rights and privileges oi the electors . The gallant admiral had said he did not think he uliotiM lose one old friend by thinking differently on this subject with others . lie would remind the gallant admiral that flo ^ gi ^ g in either the army or n ; ivy was equally unpalatable totlie constituuicy of Greenwich as wnstlse continuation of the ratepaying clauses . ( Loud cheers ) Mr Joseph Morgan moved a similar resolution and petition to that recently adopted at the metropolitan meetings . Mr Bailkt seconded the motion .

      Mr Sxallwopd , ( who had been invited in company with Mr M'Qrath , ) in a speech that was loudiy applauded supported the motion , which was carried unanimously . It was also reselved that the petition be entrusted to Mr Bernard for presentation , Mr Floyd then rose to submit the following resolution : — " That this meeting censures the inconsistent conduct of Admiral Dundns , one of the memLeia for his borough , in voting for the Repeal of the Itatepaying Clauses , when out of office , and opposing the motion of Mr Duncombe , for the same object , when in effice " Mr Robinson seconded the motion . Mr P . Al'GitATii supported the in « tion , find in an eloquent speech perfectly electrified his audience , who gave vent to their admiration by frequent bursts ot applause .

      _ A smalt clique of so-called respectables , vbo occupied a position at the lower end of the room , tried to reate , a diRiurbanre , by contiiiUOUB interruption clamour , and arnojance o At the conclusion of Mr M'Grath ' a very forcible address Mr Wbuhit , one of the " gentlemen" alluded to . and who is said to be a clerk in a government office rose , and in defence of thu giillant admiral said , he did not think in right to attack any individual behind \\\ & 1 / Bck . That meeting did not comprise a majority of die electors , and , therefore , they had no right to censure the gallant lepresuntntive . lie was

      no more in favour of the Ratepaying Clauses , than they were ; in fact , he would go as far a * Mr Stallwood , lie was in favour ot Universal Suffrage , but this was not ( Ac place lie was , in fact , a Chartist ; but this was not the time . The people were not prepared for it , at least they were not five years ago . ( Loud laughter . ) lie did not think the admiral should be censured for this one vote . It was unfair anil out of place , to refer to tiog » in » , or he could

      Mr FuttD , in a very able speech , which eVicited loud applause , replied—but was subjected to simil&r annoyance and interruption from the " penile men . " A MrRussBLt , another of the " gentlemen , " rose and reiterated many of the things put forth by Mr Wright , ami concluded by demanding that the bill , convening the meeting , be read . Mr Robinson complied with the " gentleman ' s " request , and , in a most caustic speech—which was greeted with great applause throughout—replied to that " gentleman . " Mr Pkhrh then eloquently descanted on the resolution before the meeting , condemning the conduct of Aclnrral Dnndas .

      Mr M'Grath then entered rn a general reply to the " gentkmen , " contending for the right of the meeting to censure their servant , and that the time and ptact was well chosen ; that whilst they did not wi » h to interfere with the admirable ri » lit of '' thinking , " they had a just right lo canvass and express their opinion on his voiea . The resolution was then put to the meeting , and only one solitnr * hand wai raised on behalf ot ' the gallant Admiral . The motion was declared to be carried amidst tho most enthusiastic chcerin « , » nd a eopy of it ordered to be forwarded to the gallant M . P . A vote of thanks was given to the chauaan , and the meeting dissolved .

" Mr I . contended that Englishgold had been the cause of Ireland losing her legislative power , beuune the I Irish people and the meaiber * were intimidated or bribed to vote in favour of the amalgamation . 'Thug

      had two-thirds of the munisipal towns , borooglis , and cities , voted in favour of the change . At that time Ireland was not in the state of mUery , degradation , V and poverty the present day saw her in . He main' \ tained that had Ireland tbe power of legislating for herself , she would not b « obliged to ask alms of any othercountry . Mr Laatdonn much cheered . Mr Ash ©; When he looked'back into history , and found X , that a wicked government on one hand , and a crafty \ V and wily priesthood on the other , had ever laboured >? to protract the reign of ignorance , and to quell the progress of any kind of' knowledge , political or reu-Cious , ho came to the conclusion , that the cause of Ireland ' s losing her independence na * , the want of popular knnaledee of nolitical riuhts . ( CheerB . ) Mr

      "alford next spake , and in an excellent .-peech , showed tho basenesa-of the British govcrniueut itt promising that they would pass certain measures for the benefit of the Irish-people , if they would only con * sent to the removal . ot the parliament , and the amalgamation of that legislative power , which lie contended belonged to each country separately . But while ha blamed the British government for tiieir bseneBS , he could not but find , room for censure in the credulity of the Irish rjeople . "When ho found that out of th » 100 commoners sent to repr esent liclacd in the British parliament ^ only one—Mr GraUnn—spoke ia favour of his countrymen , that was a ai . lfiuieui proof of Ireland ' s inability to govern herself , ( lle . tr . hear . ) Mr Connor followed-. -. ; As an Irishman , ho felt himseU

      bound to defend hia countrymen . The people of Ireland had no voice in . the leprerentalion of their country , neither had ttiey nny choice in the clcctien of tuoso who represented them . Ho * , then , he would H » k , had the people themselves been init' . rumvntal in tlio downfal of their protective powers ? in spite of what hnd boea . said respecting the parties wU >> , comp »» ed the Iribh . parliamtiit—in defiance of what had , been advanced as to the ignorance of thftsywplp . v of Ireland ,,- he said , j , ive them the' p j *?^ to i 'cgislate for tbemselvrs , and olclinosini ; t ^ ejr . own '¦¦; representatises—give them these po '< vtr .-, anil the es- . - tabiislunanb of a parliament in Colk'jrc-green , and class despotism would be overthrown . ( Loud eheeis . ) Mr Trusablo said , siMy years a ^ " the Irish Bi ember 3 were waylaid in the Dublin streets by the people , and made to-. » w < -ar that they would op pose tlie union of the two countries , lie would ask , then , did this

      show the desire of the people to lose their parliament ? Ue said : no ; . it was a proot that the Irish people had a clear foresight of the kind of legislation they were likely , to be . subject to , and they used , every means ia their power te prevent it . But they had noc a voice in the matter . Bribery , corruption , and devices of the basest kinds , triumphed over the will of the people lie hailed the establishment of U . e 'Confedpration " society , as a bright omui Jor Ireland ' s once more resuming that place in the list of nations that her mtUiition and her productive soil so highly ! merited . ( Loud applause . ) Mr Tilt m xt rose , and ! in an able manner cotnbatid the arguments of the : laxt speaker , and sat down applauiku . Mr lirnome and Mr Cathie aUo spoke , and were followed by a motion for adjournment , which was seconded and carried unaninioi . sl y . Tho met ting then adjourned : the consideration of the question will be resumed this eveninc , at 8 o ' cluek .
