      nntil he W 8 S able io add a few more months Jo the yew 6 e dwnM like to know when tie « roper season would be ? and that question Lasone of the propositions that would be submitted to the Conference , to name , not the montb , but the very day of the month , when jhey should he henceforth located . " Whatever -uy be the practical effect of this arrangement , it will , at all events , take the responsibility from the shoulders of the Directors . < fhe Conference , by fixing the time of location on Old May Day in future , no doubt fully con-_ i ^ i ^ ito fftrMrS :

      sidered all the circumstances involved in that decision , and coming as it does from that body , it rna v be reasonably assumed that the general interest has been consulted , as far as possible . These appear to us to be the principal alte rat ions resolved upon , with the vie » of enabl in ^ tbe Directors to ' proceed to complete Eedstration under the Joint Stock Companies Act , when the property will be forthwith put int o the legal possession of the three trustees a ppointed by the Conference—Thomas Alteop , Esq ., Thomas Slingsby Duncombe , Esq .. and

      ^ ohn Seweil , Esqt ; and as a still further guarantee for the proper management of the pecjiniary affairs of the Company , Mr Grey , the eminent Accountant , and Mr Finlaison , tbe Actuary of the National Debt Office—the very gentlemen selected by the Government for the purpose of destroying the Company , if pos sible—w . ere appointed auditors . If the Begistration trader the Joint Stock Act can be completed by Christmas Day , it was resolved that a life-intercut reversionary lease shall be g ranted at that time , to all the members at

      present located . ' The whole of these ; alterations appear to us to be characterised by the most anxious desire to meet every p «? ssible objection , and to promote the advantage t » f the shareholder to the fullest extent Indeed , we have some misg ivings whether this one object has not been unduly kept in view * In order that the Company , in its corporate capacity , should have been able to act freely in accordance with circumstances as they arose , it might per baps hare been desirable that they should have a greater latitude than the new arrangements

      appear to confide to the Directors . Another point also we feel constrained to alhde tonamely , the original capital subscribed by the shareholder We understand that the Conference was mainly composed of the district secretaries , and therefore all of them men ihoroughly conversant with the means of the members in their respective localities . But with all deference to them and the Directors , we submit , that legislatingfor the very poorest of the members is not the most direct way of benefhting that class In some way or other

      capital must be raised to purchase land , erect d wellings and outhouses , and give the preliminary cultivation required by the rules of the Company ; and for onr part , we see no more feasible or just method of raising it in the first instance , than by making the amount of the original share subscribed for bear a fair relation to the benefits proposed to be " conferred on the shareholder by the Company . One thing is qnite certain , that the members must , in justice to the Directors and the Conference , immediately commence the

      payment of their arrears in the ratio decided upon by that body—namely , 2 d . per share weeklyif the Company is to proceed at all . TVith irhat face can any of them complain of the slowness of the progress of the Company if they withhold the means ? The number of persons who have merely subscribed a few shillings and then stopped , apparently for the purpose of being entitled to grnmble , ii Tery large . The Directors ought , in all

      cases , to insist upon the regular re . payment of arrears , and also of the current payments upon shares required by the laws , ' and where these sie not forthcoming , at once to declare the shares forfeited upon which these arrears are aHewed to remain . In this way the Company would be weeded < af t&ose who , while they multiply the apparent amount of its responsibilities , do nothing whatever to provide the means of meeting them .

      With respect to the complaints made at the Conference by the representatives of the various Estates , we must say that , while we fully sympathise with , the parties by whom they were made , in any privations or difficulties they may have undergone in the transition from one occupation to another , we must , at the same time , remind them that these difficulties and privations were inseparable from their own limited means , the funds at the command of the Company , and the necessary inconveniences arising from a first year ' s

      employment infwbat , to many , was a new and untried field of labour . One deduction only ve shall make from these csmplaints , and that is—if the allottees of the National Land Company , who have been provided with a comfortable dwelling and outhouses , have had their little holdings put under cultivation , and been assisted by grants of money—if these persons , going from town to country life , have fonnd the transition so difficult with all those advantages , what must be the fate of those who are tempted by emigration-mongers into

      Canada , or the colonies , er the Far West of the United States , to commence a new life on the Prairie , or in the forest , altogether unaided by any of them , and removed , besides , from the thousand minute and subtle encouragements and helps which a densely peopled country presents to the man who has his owe cottage and his own labour-field beside it ' Upon a calm and dispassionate review of the * hole circumstances of the case , and the measpes , resolved upon by the Conference , to justify and secure public confidence , it appears to

      ° f that everything that could possibly be de-^ red by any person , however suspicious or ^ acting , has been done . If the Company does not , in future , advance so rapidly to the attainment of its objects as the more impatient wits members may think it should do , they * jU at least know the cause ef the delay . * ne Directors may well reply to all complaints of that kind in the language of the Jews to the Egyptian task-masters , who wanted them to make bricks without straw . They have "One all they could to bring the Company ^ thin the law , and thus at once give

      protection to the property and legal responsibilities to the officers . They have in every conceiv-« Me and reasonable manner accommodated war arrangements to the means of the poorest Am bers . They have devised and resolved n measures by which , if the shareholders J ^ onl y do their duty , the progress of the » any will be immediately accelerated . Mr v Connor , the Directors , and the Conference nave done their duty—it rtmains for the mem-**« at large to do theirs . _** t us just add , in conclusion , that the

      "orKing classes of England are in some mea-^ e put upon their trial in this case . Their ^ duct with reference to it will show whether ^ jT are mere fault-finders and grumblers at * <* people , incapable of making any en-Joined and continuous effort for their own ^ Provement - or whether , while keenly alive we injusti ce and defects of our political and tvT 1 Dstittttions , and determined to obtain J : necessary legislative and Governmental WS J can and will , at the same time , iatw y aDd persever ingly use all the means Vwor _ power for the benefit of their order . « . fPlTlt Ofgelf . hainfnlnpeeio „ ,, _ , * *] BA

      ——^^ ™ TO THE DEMOCRATS OF GREAT BRITAIN . G * mnuM , ~ ltmr that there is a lull in the storm of Whig penecution-Bow that Russell , Grey , and Jarro , can gloat over prostrate Chartists and vanquuhodRapealew , —now that the dungeon , the transport-ahip . and the penal coloaj are the gloomy abodes of aomeof the be » t and bravest—when onrCbartist Organisation ii all bat defunct , and the rod of persecution ib held by themereiless hud of a Whig governmeat over the heads of Bone ef onr best friends , no * tbe important problem- What is to be dose ? preeies forcibly for tclutian . Thegoodmen andtrue , who met the other day at Binmngham , ielfc that this waia vital interrogatory , and that it was their duty as upiren after the tnumphof democracy , to attempt , to the extent of their power , its practical solution , Incited bj thia generous sentiment they met , took council one with another , and ultimately agreed among other things ,

      »_ adopt ana recommend to ; the country the old principle of organisation , as affording the safest guarantw againet the attacks of an Attorney General , or toe hellish raaohinations of government spie * . They also gave it as their , opinion that the old plan of Organisation was the beat knows medium j pr conceatratisg , strengthening , and directing p » blie opinion , to that a beneficial effect shall be produced noon those who have nrorped the power to sway oar destinies . When we consider the chaotio state to which tbe villany of hireling spies , and ths persecution of the traitorous Whigs had reduced the liberty movement , I think it most be evident to all , that the Birmingham delegates have taken the proper preliminary step . They have stamped their sanction upon a plan of peaceful National Organisation , and hire appointed some of the ¦ uunchest apostles of the Charter in England , as an unpaid Executive , to give effect to its wakings .

      Thus far the BirmiBgaam delegates have given a S ract i !^ L p 0 Me t 0 ** " VWtion . 'What is to be done f They separated , pledged to renewed struggles to ensure the speedy ; triutnph of rightover might * and now they anxkusly wait to see how their labours will be appreciated by those who have the virtue to love , aad the csurage to contend for freedom . For , after all , brother democrats , it is you who must infoM into the movement that vitality , and endure it with that vigour which wUl enable it speedily to reach the goal of success . The drivelling miscreant- Whigs calculate nponyonr complete discomfiture , upon your irretrievable disorganisation . Jarris . and his respectable lojal colleagues , Powell and Barrett , aBas ' Lyine Tom . ' and ' HeU-fira '

      Dick , no doubt think that they have exterminated Chartism from the land , and that henceforth onr only political distinctions , will be constitutional Tones and fiaality Whigs . Short-sighted oalcolalatora ; they mayaa well attempt to extinguish the light of the sun , as to exterminate in the human breast the desire for liberty . Man is made by bad , instinct with this ennobling feeling ; and the terrors of persecution , whether under the phases oi the dungeon , the conviot-ahip , or the gibbet , will never aval to stifle its laudable promptings for gratification . Be it our study , then , to show ^ he liberal government that , although Coffey and other viotimi of the bassiteapwnagB arejourneying to the penal lettlements , Caartiamu not exterminated . Letusebow thatalthsugh Tory ridden and Whig cursedthe

      , spirit of liberty still hovers over our country . Tell the tyrants who degrade you , that manhood is cot their monopoly , and that a day of retribu ion wffl in faluhly come . Raise the 70108 of remonstrance again—let every tongue wag with recitals of wiopbb endured and rights withheld—let there be no peace for tbe wicked , until political justice , full and complete , blesses the toiling millions . The preliminarj to this holy constimmation is organisation ; to the work , then , with the fervency and courage of men determined to be free ; you who lead the vaa of the movement in your respective localities , begin at once to gather up our scattered strength—bind it in ttre bonds of fraternity—and foster and consolidate it in the organisation ratified by the Birmingham delegates .

      The atrocious proceedings of those vile hirelings of the Whigs—Poirell , Davis , and Barrett—nave broaght ruin upon some over zealous Damecwts , and misery upon their hapless families : oe it , therefore , ose of the most sacred aims of tbe Chartist ergs * nitttion , to poor the balm of comfort upon the anguish of these victims of the blackest moosteis that ever ditgraced humanity . To inorease the Victim Fund , is to put bread into tbe months « f the starving wives and children of the victims of exces sive zjal upsn their own parts , and tbe vilest craft and cunning upon the part of government tools . Do this , and you deprive the Draconio Whigs of that denmhc pleasure which they would dtriva from contemplating the afflictions of their viotims .

      in regard te the Defence Fund , what is to be done ? Let us first see what the enemy is doing . Forty-six men , among whom are to fce numbered some of the best Chartists ia . England ., aja under the bin oi government protecution . They will be arraigned in a few weeks at Liverpool open the charge of sedition and treasoaable conspiracy . Beswick , tbe bashaw oi Manchester , and bis blue subalterns , are straining hems and earth to secure their destruction , To permit him and bis dirty spy tools ts triumph , with * out a counteracting effort on our parts , would be to cut an obloquy on British democracy , fr om which it could never Da relieved by any subsequent procedure . Those Chartist ! already tried have been most ably defended , but H was through Mr O'Connor ' s auut *

      aica this was accomplished . That gentleman generously opened his purse in the hour of need , but who or where is the Democrat that can expect repetition after repetition of suoh expensive generosity ? From our experience of Mr O'Connor , we kaowthat his aid will not bo wanting . The knowledge of that fact should incite each of us , according to his means , to do a man ' s share in the work , and should spur us on to continued exertion in the creation of aDafence Fond , sailarge , that instead of wantiag the a . d of Mr O'Cinnor this time , we may be enabled to liquidate the debts due to tbat gentleman for former defenses . Our funds should be sufficiently ample t ) secure for our friendi ; the advocacy of the ablest talent at the bar .

      Every locality should , without a moment's delay , take the necessary steps to raise their quota of tbe DrfencoFund , andforward ii to tteExecufira . Mj taithin the phiJaQtaropy of British democracy teUs me that ample means of defence will be forthcoming . Let every Citartis * feel that bis mite will be employed for the righteouspurposB of rescuing friends from the iran clutohes of their implacable foes , thereby preventing indescribable calamities to helpless families , and I feel a strong assurance that his contribution will be cheerfully cast into tbe Defence Fcmd tre »« y- „ ' B Jwica .

      Were I to pause till dooms day , I should still have to ' wait-a . liHle longer . ' LiMABTHiKVlusgof life , 'was a kiss of death jo the people . The moment Thiers and the other chiefs of the bourgeoitie felt assured of their personal safety , they forthwith commenced their plots against the Republic , and the June maasaore was th 9 result . The combats in the streets of Vienna atd Berlin in March last , were soaroely over , whenthe viotorioui people forgave—and even did loyal homage to the royal imbecile , and the rovsl hvon .

      crite . Behold the results—the bombardment of the one city , and the reigu of military ruffianism in the other . „ Seeing thatwhichis , and mentally picturing ivMt might have hetn , had the people been wiae and their leaders honest—seeing that in spite of the unexampled heroism of ourotder , the sufferings of millions and the deaths of thousands of patriots , despotism is nevertheless rapidly regaining its terrible power , one is tempted in the agony of disappointment to ory , in the craven words of Malcolm : —

      ' L « t us seek out som « desolate sSade , and there , - Weep eur sad bosoms empty . ' But Eelf-reapeot , Ihe wrongs of the martyrs , and the future happiness of the human race , demand the adoption oi Macdbw ' snobler sentiments : — 'Let us rather Hold fast the mortal sword ; and , libe gosd men , Bts ride our dowo-fall ' n birthdom . ' It is most , strange and unaccountable that the Viennese , afierthe bitter experience they bad had of the faitWnlneBs of the Kaiier and the Camarilla , nevertheless repeated in Ootober the terrible error of Maroh—the error of making a half rtvohtion ! The capture of the Kaiser would have been an easy tsBk , instead of which he was allowed to escape fa

      > m the capital . Even that . blunder might have been redeemed had energetio measures been adopted by the Diet . If , immediately after the flight of the Emperor , the Hungarians had been applied to ; they could , and would , have marched t » Che gates of Vienna . Neither Jbllaciiich nor AuBRipgEQ , nor both combined , cojld have prevented the junction of the Hungarians with the Viennese , Windiscugiutz and his forces had not then arrived . Indeed , tho Hungarians did not need applying to ; on tbe omtrary , they repeatedly applied to the Diet for permission to enter Austria , but that application was either sot . ' granted at all , or if so—ay or no , the fact is not clear—only when too late . Again , long before the city was blockaded , the fighting men of the Austrian provinces desired to inarch to the capital , but the Diet reftKed consent , and threw cold water on the papular enthusiasm .

      This was not all : with the professed ofcjeot . or under tbe prefesoB of maintaining * order , ' the Diet and Communal Council reined ihe popular fury , whioh in the nb fnce of foreign aid , was the city ' s beet security ajninst the besiegers . Lastly , if Fucebblthe companion of the martyred Ro&bri Blum—is to be believed , there was positive treachery within the city . A large number of tbe ' respectable inhabitants' were of course ' anxious te be released from ¦ nob role , ' and hence Windischgrwz was so well iiforraed of all tbat traoBpired within the city ; nenca cartridges filled with sand were served out to the de f enders . ; hence the cowardly negotiations of he Communal Council mih the enemy , and hrnoe the welcome given" by tbe same ' respectables' to the bloadJapping conquerors when triumphantly marching over the palpitating bodies and gory remains of ihe city ' s heroio defenders .

      The horrors of the siege and storming of Vienna , have been detailed in the columns of this journal . The numbBr of dead on both side is supposed to number many thousands , and the damage to proparty by fi'eand pillage , ia estimated at very to » ny milliOBB of fitting . Every night , ' eaysan eye . witness , 'we had tbe terrible spectacle ef seeing the who ' e sky reddened with tbe fires that were breaking oat from the ignition of the bombs and congreve rockets . ' Again : — ' I assure you it wsb a sight I shall never forget—to see the bombs and congreve rockets hissing through the air , like fiery serpents , all directed towards the derated city . ' Another eye witnesB eays : — ' The horrible atrocities committed by the infuriated Soldateaka , no pen can desorite .

      * * Burnt and mutilated corptei of men and women filled the air with pestilentia ' Odours . * * * In the night of th « 23 h to the 29 th , ihe Bky seemed one glowing flam \ * * ¦ * ¦ Hundreds of men and women ran bewildered through the streets , weeping and mourning the lossof all they possessed . ' The Odeor , one of the largest and most beautiful buildings in the city , and which had been converted into an in firmary for the wounded , was set on fire by special command of an imperial general . The Croata surrounded the building , and a ) least five hundred human beings , including Biok , wounded , and even

      women and children , were burnt to death , or crushed to pieces by the falling of the ponderous rooi . Not one of the Viotims was permitted to escape ! In one private bouse , all the inmates , to the number of fourteen were butchered ! Some of the prisoners had their eats cut off , and were then beaten to death with the bait ends , of muskets . One writer says;— 1 have spoken to a military offioer who has seen the prisoners murdered by hundreds outBide the lines . '' The OroatB violated women and young girls , and in Borne instances tho 3 e hell-hounds out of ! the breasts of their victims , or fluog them into the flames !

      Behold the horrible fruits of popular moderation ! The people are goaded to insurrection , they triumph , and forthwith traitors and humbugs , like Lamaktime , cry 'Oh ! magnanimous people ! sully not your victory by the shedding of blood ; think that nieroy ia the noblest attribute , and forgiveness the worthiest act of a victorious nation . Pardon , then , yonr enemies , and teach the world tbe belief jou ohsrish of the guilt of taking away life under any iroumstances , ' The people aot on this fatal advioe ,

      and their own destruction is invjtiably the result . The pardoned brigands immediately recommence conspiring against the commonwealth ; another straggle ensues , and the people are beaten . Then no orator , no writer of the respectable ) t \ m , ' bids the brigands be magnanimous or merciful . No I the conquered people we rebels , ' therefore let them be slaughtered , ' let them be pitileBily hewn down in matsee . Strike terror' is the order of the day , and terror—1 beg pardon—I mean ' order reigns , and death is drunk with tore !

Emboldened by the succos of the autoeratical conspiracy at Vienna , the royal . h ypocrite of Berlin has thrown away the mask of Coadtitutionalism , ' and stands a self-confessed hypocrite and unchanged tyrant . In March the people spared him , and now he taunliogly « ddte » ei them in t&e words of Mokunoa— ...

      1 would be iupes and viotims , and ye ar »!' The Prosiian Assembly , though it bad by no means done all it might and should have done for the nation , had done more than enough to excite the bitter hostility of the king . The abolition of titles and orders ot nobility was a heavy blow and sore discouragement to the Court faotion . His kingship was still raoTC galled by the Assembly refusing to acknowledge him King by the Grace of God . ' The resolutions of the Assembly , calling on the Frankfort Parliament to interfere at Vienna on behalf of German liberty , brought matters to a crisis . General Ffubl a&ving resigned , tne King commissioned Count BBAnDBKBOBo-a bastard son of the late kiDg—to form aminifttrv . As sooe as tt » e new ministry was

      partially fohniMj , Ms Kingship announced his will and pleagpre that fiw Assembly should stand prorogued . « s sittings vh'sn again opened to take place at Urandentmvgi ) . The objeot of having the Atsembly at Btaadeiibsirgli was to bring that body under tbe terrorism of the military collected by the Court . On the royal bastard delivering the rojal message to the Assembly , the Conaervative minority , like well-bred cure , put'their UAta between their legs and slunk out of the hall . The Radioal majority pasaed resolutions declaring the prorogation and removal of the Assembly to ba illegal and unconstitutional , and fledging resistance to the same . Bat the royal traitor was prepared for resistance of any and every kind . Fifteen thousand troops bad been marched into Berlin , and twenty-five thousand more were encamped in the

      immediate neighbourhood . The troops surrounded and blockaded the representatives in their meeting ball . Protesting against this violence , tbe members , at the close of the day , adjourned , The next day tbe troeps prevented the members assembling ia their own Chamber ; accordingly the representatives procured another place of meeting , from ; which they were expelted at the point of the bayonet . They then assembled in another hall , and again experienced the same treatment .. After impeaching the Ministers ai traitors , and appealing to theceantry . tbe members at their last public meeting resolved unanimously to ' Stop the Supplies . ' Resolutions were pawed , calling npon the people to pay no more taxes nntil the Brandenburg Ministry was expelled from office and brought to trial , and the Assembly restored to the fri e exercise of its functions .

      On the other band , General Wbakom . bas dissolved the Burgher Guard , and placed Berlin in a state of siege . The clubs are suppressed , meetings of every kind prohibited , the people disarmed , and the Press extinguished . Thus far , the physical force of the tyrant has completely triumphed over the msral force of the people . But the struggle ian&t yet ended . If the provinces support the capital , and taxes are generally refused , the royal hypocrite will be vanquished ,, Chables of England played a similar game , and lost both his crown aad his head ; whether the Piussian plagiarist will be more fortunate , time will tell . How often must the lesson ba repeated— ' Put not i ) ow trurt in princes ? ' When , oh ! when , will the people comprehend the fireat truth , that ' THEY WHO MAKE HALF REVOLUTIONS BUT DIG GRAVES FOR THEMSELVES ?'

      I had intended to have exposed the Viuanons conduct of the infamous English Press-gang , in relation to the Austrian and Prussian counter-revolutions , but I have net space at command to do justice on the ruftnns this week , 1 will only , for the present , say to the people of Vienna and Berlinmaking use of the sentiment , though not the exaot words , of Ledro Rolun , at the Democratic Busquet on Sunday last—that , if ike Press of England is against them , the People of England are with them . The aspect ef the Presidential struggle in Franoe bas not materially changed since my last letter . The union of the true Democrats— ' a consummation devoutly to be wished' —has not yet been accomplished . The sentiments on this subject , put forth in my

      last letter , have since then been expressed in the loftier language of the great Democratic leader of Francb . At the banquet above alluded to , Citizen Lkdru Roman said ; - My brothers , to establish in the world the reiga of the Democratic and Social Republic , one most important means is the unienef the Demooraoy of Franoe . By one retrograde step in France , the fate of the world will be compromised and its well-being long postponed . ' May these words of truth sink into the hearts of our French brethren . May union , energy , and determination ba their ? , and then , in the words of the same speaker , all the opposition of all the governments in the world will be unable to prevent the establishment of ths ' RtpubUque demoeraiique etmiale !'

      Sfontamkous Combustion . —By Her Majesty ' s ship Spy , whioh waa aunounoed recenily aj aTminf ; at Gamma , letters have been forwarded , communioating the total loss of the English ship Jane Augusta , Captain Hewitt maBter , from Hull , bound for Loqmtnbo , by fire , off the coast of St Antonio . She was laden with coals , whioh ignited spontaneously w _ n . . . the vessel vaa about 100 miles to the westward ot tne island . At firat a slight smoke arose from the cargo ; the master , suspeoting a fire kindling , had the natohways uncovered , and poured down several tons or water , which , failing in diminiibing theBtnVke , he hadalargemaBs of the coaln removed ; but the men could penetrate no further down on account of the great neat and sulphurous smoke . They continued to pour water down in large quantities , but the heat and smoke increased , and at length the captain , for the preservation of the crew , ran the ehip ashore on the above-mentioned island . The very moment she

      struok a body of flames shot forth from the main hold , and in a few minutes she waa completely on fire . Moot of the orew managed to escape on tho island with safety ; one man was not so fortunate !; in attempting to save his clothes , which wore below in the foreca 3 tle , he was suffooated and perished . The Ship was burning two entire days- As may be suppo .-ed , sho was destroyed to the water ' s edge . On the English Consul at St Antonio hearing of tbe catastrophe , he invited the crew—who it should be observed loBt all their clothea and money—to his house , and rendered them every assistance until a vessel was , prepared to take them to England . Tbe schoone * Despatch , Williams master , took tbe m « te and mwt of the orew to St Vincent ' s ( Cape de Verd Islands ) , whencs they were transhipped on board Her Majesty ' s ship Spy , and conveyed to Gambia , The master and two of the officers of tbe unfortunate T 0 » el were left behind at St Antonio .
