MR. FEARCIIS O'CONNOR'S LAND SCHEME.—A ceereepeedest from Nottingham ssadsalong article, in which be complains of the failure of Mr. O'Connor's land scheme, sod of the little hesellt that gentleman's fifteen years' study of kis plan his prodsmed. H. says :—" The four estates of Herrimperate, Lewbaes, Muster Bondi, and floigg's End. matabe 838 acres, parebseed at • met of 24,6201. 14..64. and disbursements for handle!! ennuis, making roads, egricul tare, die., amount to 49,425/. 45. 41. sad aid money to Mistime. 4,3181 10s. and also 7001. by way of loans up to July, 1848. What has been advanced by way of 1 an to the famishing allottees since that date is not at puss at known, but thus making • total of 72,5661. 8.. 104.; which should produce, at 6 per cent., an annual rent of 4,0001. The estates are charged • ith twolife sne.nities,and mortgages left on at the time of pur chases:mounting to 10,8001. But no rent has et beets pail, and there is a strong indication of ejectment beteg d4laytd. This is to engage the attention of Conference on Aegean 6; and Mr. Thomas Ireland, who is located tit has adressed the forthcoming conwenrien die louses of the Norther* Star of July 28 B eaneof these *Rotten the Seer had been deecribung as " being as happy as princes who live in gorgeous palaces." Now I wish te des e your readers' punkah: attention to Mr. Ireland's a► entitle, as given by himself in last week's Northern Star. He was formerly a workman in London, employ. d formers years in his last place, and by dint of industry and fru gality, saved a little money : but being infatuated by the brilliant promises of the land plan, he purehastd from as oriental anomie, after sir weeks' residence, the right of h • allocstio-, to the sam of thirty-four pounds; but he appears to have subsequently received nine pounds due as aid-money to this allotment, consequently reducing his actual purchase money to twenty-five pounds. He has kept a debtor and en &tut account from the time of entering possession up to Jul) 14th, 1849; he entered everything he sold, and valued ev. rytbiug he est ; be let two rooms and a patch of land for two ahihings per week ; consequently, he had but one room for himself, and each of his family as are with him ; be ba lances his labour against his standing crops; and his books, which he says are open to the in'pection of the conference, show a real loss, including his purchase -mope 1021 . 143.84 d. Thus the fourteen years' savings of this in dustrious man are sunk In O'Connor's land elan. The fact is notorious, that Mr. O'Connor has purchased, after his illeen run' study, such arid and gravelly land, that it cannot return seed and taboos, nor yield su ffi cient for the otherwis e unaided wants of man. There are 7 cottages at Lowbaads already shut upend abandoned ; and I found one shut up at Reerinsgate, but there are several who have let them to others to lodge in, but they are to have the crops. Others have boards in their gardens announcing their intention to all and return home. Amongst others were Benjamin Knott from Leeds. Be Ins not found that hsppinesa which O'Connor promised his • dear chit- , dean,' and is, therefore, desirous to leave; yet Mr. Knott is the most industrious man upon the estate. The I school-house contains no scholars—neither • boy nor • girl ; the same at Lowlands—a splendid school, but an scholars. The schools cost 2,0001. of the industrious claim s' money ;1 yet the schools are all show and mosey look There are no , scholars; sad Mr. Gravel and Kr. O'Brien, the appointed ' masters, are compelled to till the sail. The Datford estate I have not yet Uinta into my calculation, It is situated three miles north of B10001WW“, in the direction of Clint kills. Part of the estate is of strong clay, and I believe the bricks fur the cottages just entered were mad. upon the estate. There is Italy • portion of it yet laid out. The soil being clay, it is later, and bears but • barren aspen' ; the uplands are much exposed to the chilling effects of the north and east winds. A more discouraging soil and situation could scarcely have teen chosen, but it is well situated for water ; there are several brooks adjoining the estate ; the rivulets are beautiful. This estate was balloted foe in 1b47, and the fortunate priseholders expected to be located as others had been, but no! Mr. O'Connor has slam put theta up by auction, and the !tighten bidder only has the right of loca tion. This is the moat strange affair I ever heard of; for by this syrem, the very poor are subscribing that the com paratively rich only may be located.".—Loeds Mercury. RESTORATION OF STmeeureoz.—The determina tion which has been come to, to rain the fallen stones at Stonehenge, that mysterious monument of the misty past, is a good one. There is of course to be no imeFinery restora tion, but those stones which have fallen within the memory of man are to be raised into their original position. It is desirable, too, that others which show a tendency to fall should he looked to and set upright.— The Builder. MONEY MARKET. MONDLT Console again declined 1 on the elosini prime of Saturday. They opened at 921 to a, at which they continued steady, without the slightest variation, and were so mark. dat the close. They are quoted 921 foe account 11th September. The Three per Cent. Re duced were marked at 92 1 and 1. The Three-and a-Quarter per Cents at 931 to 1. To-morrow being the settling day in the Consol market, the entire absence of any fluctuation in the value of stooks today may be regarded as a favour able omen that the settlement among the dealers generally will be effected without difficulty. Exche quer Bills were done at 465. and 495. premium. Long Annuities at 81. Bank Stock at 199 and 1991. India Stock at 2521, 4, and 255. India Bonds at 78s. and 80s. premium. South Sea Old Annuities at 901. The foreign market hes been without any material variation, and the only notable feature in the transac tions to-day was a slight decline in the value of Spa- nish stot4s. The business transacted writhe following: Chilian Six per Cants., at 92 and 93. Danish Five per Cent. Bonds, 1849, at 98. Equador, at 31 and 1. Mexican, ex-ooupoes at 261 /or money, and at 27 and 1 for account. Peruvian Four per Cents. Active, 1849, were first done at 511, and last at 52, which were the extreme prices of the day. Portngnere Fin per Cents. Converted, 1841, at 291 and 29 for account. Spanish Five per Cents. for account, at 181, f, and 1; ditto, Passive, at 4 ; ditto, Three per Cents., at 341 and 1. Two-end-Half per Cent. Dutch, at 521 • ditto, Four per Cent. Certificates, at 821 asides-- Commercial advice, from Trieste to the sth inst. ass not very encouraging as regards that market for imports. During the previous month the supplies generally had exceeded the consumption, and an in crease of stocks, with falling prices, had been the consequence. Cotton, however, was an exception,l and, owing to the favourable accounts from Liver pool, had been disposed of at higher rates. The foreign exchanges had not undergone the same de gree of fluctuation as during the 'previous three moqbe, and the rate then ruling on London was 12.1 to 12.2. The arrival of about 1,000 bales of new wool had caused a decline in the price. The 'drive from Antwerp report the following prices for public securities on Saturday. The Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 471 ; Three per Cants., 611; Four per Cents., 791; Four-tad-a-Hell per Cents., 841 ; Five per Cents., 1840-42, 921; Five per Cents* 1848, 91$ ; Austria Finites Cent. 64e talleitiner761 ; Arida, 12 546.

Our Hamburg correspondent writes as, under date the 10th inst., that notwithstanding the raising of the blockade of the Elbe, Weser, and Jande, the grain market was very quiet. This was attributed to the good prospects for the crop in the United Kingdom generally, and to the favourable weather which bad Lit in in the interior of Germany. Vim at had given way from sto 8 dollars. Bye bad also declined 3to 4 dollars. Barley was from 2 to 3 dollars lower in price. Some samples of the Seal barley bad been showo, which were considered very inferior in quality to the ern) of last year. Oita of good qua lity are scarce, and could easily meet purchasers at about former prices, whilst the inferior kinds were rather heavy. Rapeseed had realised 141 dole. banco. The raising . of the blockade, which was to take place I l the following day, it was expected would im pert considerable animation to the market, and, with the prospect of a good autumn ismand, would cause prices to continue firm, an the stocks of the principal articles of produce bad become so very much reduced. The effect of the block ade of the Elbe may be gathered by compering the present stocks of some of the leadiog articles with the stocks of former years :at the same period. Coffee appears to have been least aft cted by the blockade ; tho stock in round numbers was 6,000 ton., compared with 8,600 tons in 1848, end 7,000 tons in 1817. Cotton, present stock, 3,400 bales, compered with 14,000 bales in 1848. and 6,500 bales in 1847. Bider, present stock, 22,000, compared with 80,000 in 1848, and 97,700 is 1847. Sugar . on hand, 1,500 tons, compared with 10,000 tone in 1848, 5,000 tans in 1847, and 12,000 tan in 1848. Exchange on London was in good demand. though the quotation remained the acme. Money was easily obtained for discount of good bills. The funds were very steady, with some business doing. There were at anchor in the Roads of Heligoland 49 vessels waiting to enter the Elbe with full cargoes for Hamburg. The weather in the neighbourhood of Stettin was favourable for the harvest. Tt e mail steamer, the Premiss Eagle, was about to leave for London, to have ter bottom repaired, as they had no dry dock at that port. Permission was cnty wanting from the government, and bad been applied for, to load her with wheat on freght, which had been offered at the rate of 3s. 9d. per quarter. The approaching raring of the blockade had given rise to various operations in grain at Konigsberg. We have received by this day's mail the following particulars from that market:—Wheat, fine high coloured, 1331 be., Polish, had b - en paid with 450 fl.; other descriptions of lighter weight from 372 fl. to 400 tl. Barley, large grain, 1101ba. to 112th.., had found purehvers at 160 fl. ; and smell grain, 1051 be. to 1061b5., at 146 0. per last. After these sales had been effected, the holders demanded higher terms, and the market has in consequence be come more quiet. The weather was favourable for the harvest, particularly for wheat. Warm weather, however, would be necessary to ripen the corn. Rye had suffered much, and under favourable circum stances only a very ordinary crop world be expected. At Berlin on the 9th the funds and public securities were firm. The exchanges on London, Hamburg, and Amsterdam were & per cett. higher, and on Bt. Petersburg j per cent. better. The last price for the Voluntary Loan was 1041. Treasury Notes, 74. State Debt Bonds, 85/. Bade Shares, 93.

I 'Various repots and private comrrunications have reached us from the United States, to the effect that the merchants of New York and New Orleans are snionely contemplating the formation of a road across the northern part of Florida, the advantages of which would be to shorten tte sea route between those two important marts by about 1,000 miles, and shipping would escape the dangers of the Florida reefs. The termini of the proposed road, it is suggested, should be the harbour of St. Mary's on the Atlantic, and Cedar Keys on the Gulf. The distance across from these two points is estimated at 140 miles, snd the road, it is generally stated, might be constructed on very reasonable terms—for the ground might be had for very little, and there are, as far as report goes, no engineering difficulties but what might easily be overcome. The proposed road would bring the two cities within four days' journey of each other, and afford important advantages to the merchants of New Orleans, but more especially to those resident In the Atlantic Stater. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. This is the settling day in the Consols market, and the account has shown itself to be a heavy one against the speculators for an advance, which has caused a further redaction in the English funds of a from the ruling price of yesterday. Consols for money opened at 921 to 1, when under the influence of a heavy ball account they fell to 921; they have, however, since recovered, and are now quoted at the opening price, 921 to 1.

HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDOTONI, Aug. 14.—When the grounds are Fro^d the 124 Dines seem to be improving, but the bad grounds are getting worse. 23 The mould is also more men than talked of, and in nouty nines is ia creasieg. We have ...eon branches of hope, but in some districts they gi ' appear to have ripened prematurely, and not to possess that powerful g C odour which instigates strength and condition. 10 Tzuros„ WATERINO/IUkY, &c,—lhe hops in than pa- R. riches have grown considet ably within the week, but it is question- ge, able whether they have improved, an regards the ultimate crop, equal at. I t their growth. Where the bine is strong and vigorous, the mould go has generally attacked them, and where the bine is weak there they go have not thrown out any branches, and those that are blackened by 3 the vermin have shown their incapacity to produce any crop at aIL There is not, taking the appearance collectively, any better aceountto I be as given to the probable produce than there wailed week. YALDINO.—Our hops in the fair grounds during the late turn nights hare done wonders, but the others remain incurable. ilokattOgrottl.— In some grounds no improvement can he 20 noticed, anti they appear to be irrecoverable ;in others a great change 20 has been effected by the late thunder nheme.• ; the binen are growing 1 5 away Insuriantiv, and the burr is coming out fast. We have gardens 24 in the pAriab that are likely to grow from 12 to 13 cwt. per acre, but 7 . of tiese there are but tem. 131 WEST DIALLING —Snow pounds are put &lag any- " thing, and ethers want favourable weather to grow even a few. The 1 : mould is aypearlag in those which looked must promising. EAST DIALLING —There is but little or no improvement 10 In the blighted grounds, in the lower part of this weigh. The upper 20 grounds look somewhat better, with a slight improvement. One 10 large garden of Mr. Bmwoinges, on the rock., of nearly forty acres, is du looting exceeldngly well, last coming out into hop, and promisee • 20 good troll. lo - have devoted a aoraidtrable ;tree= es • - -- CUANDitOOK.—We of our leisure during the past week in watching the 1 re;tiers td i: the biro, and in r ndelivouring to ascertain what probability there 331 eaists in this locality of rowing a crop. The plantation seems to 52 have 'ruined three different positions; the good bine, which 331 hes been comparatively clean during the summer, end which, perhaps, 50 constitutes one-fourth of the cultivation; the indifferent, which was 10 black till midsummer, but which has duce thrown out a few green lo shouts, anti may comprise half ; and the very hid pieces, which the 30 most &wearable weathee can never rally. and which may be mid to 20 constitula Se remainder of the plantation. The first of these have 26 made raga progress; the poles are covered with thick to:iage in many pMege, the pendant dowers already appearing as light festoons. 20 and wM rimy prospect of a luxuriant crop. The next bare improved 30 considerably; the late showers, accompanied with thunder and 26 lightmag, and succeeded by very genial weather, are manifesting 23 their filiM'y effecta on the bine. The last, as we have before 50 stated haws become black, and, instead of holding out any hope of Ile ineprovalieg, are becoming not less nauseous to the =ell than they sts me umpleanstat to the view and unprofitable to the grower. tench is 55 skid asseent of the state of the plant in thia parish, and them per area vi us low experience justly entitle. their manikins to Mae ga, awl readers them competent to judge of the amount of duty 0 3 fit, awl ha eaellimed, are most sanguine in their expectation that about 60,00 W. may, with a continuance of propitious weather, be obtained. 00VDSIttinT.—The few girder • that have been going on a little favourebty, as might be anticipated, in consequence of the few 5 . warm nights, are consieg very fast into hop. The whole of the bligho d grounds are in one sad medicament ; their time is gone. fe HAWILIIVUST. —The fair to. k place on Friday las , . This se fair is celebrated for the traneattions of the hop trade, and it wax Ira KI usual well attended by mercantile gentlemen from London. The :o general report wan that the preterit duty is thoueht to be t hi s 5 rated in the borough. There la no improvement in the whole in this 6 so wish. BieBUINCIILIY.—Ws moot quote any general improve- 20 mart, although there is a little habeas visible in some grounds. 20 The season is too far advanced for us to expect any benefit from the 20 young shoots, particularly as the lice follow so closely. 1011TMANI AND SEAL. —Although the weather of the past 20 week has been Very favourable , t h e hope have imoroved but very 20 little, excepting those grounds which have bat partially blighted, and 20 viry ;came. - Ourixoros.—Four-fifths of the hop grounds about bare will not grow a bop; what few good hills are left will just be worth - EDEMBRIDOE--There is an improvement in the best grounds, but the blighted are nearly at a stand. HVRsTOREEN.—Tae h Ifs in this locality are a little im proved in some places, while others are worse and past all hope. There are some healtby.looking branches stretching serves the alleys, but they do not show much alma of fruit. F , AkTON, AND CoVierity DisTRICTe. Aug. 13. —The best plantations see improving, but the blighted grounds have • very sombre appearance, and renridu to stets quo.— Maidttufse Casette (of this day). 0111• W acres of hop• in this parish will not have a bin put into them ; the test grounds that are tolerably clean pre ad. 'arcing and beginning to come into hope, but the mould bus made its apps' . among some of them. Jnileing from present appearance, di pariah may grow from 4to 5 cwt. per acre. ATLEIYOnD.There has be. tt 1101114. B. ight improvement in 1 the best /rounds during the last few d .3s, but thew will not produce mush —p - large portion of thehope in this parish will be scarcely worth picking. MISCWORTIL—The hops are in a had state. Some grounds in our parish look meddling, and there is a little improve. meet in general, but the mould seems to increase very much. The crop will be very hove. TUNTRIDOM — We shall grow but II very fewhops: some plantations that were let at 10 cwt. per acre a fortnight back are now set at 7 cwt; others that were expected to grow 5 cwt. won't grow cwt. Wee:isnot get one.foarth of last year. BTAPLINVIWT.—The fine le ether thin week ha. VW what tmnroved the better grounds; the weak grounds ore in a bed sate—without hope. ROLVaNDEN.—The heavy rain we received on Wednesday morning, and tremendous thunder -storm, have rather improved the gr undo which were clearing before, but the greatest proportion is past all recovery. Hone re oNDOX.-14 any plantations in this parish are totally blighted. In some a e hid improvement an be seen since the flue shosers we have lately had, but from thew a very small crop la the utmost that can ie eisected.

CANTaiticUaY.—We are sled to find a little improvement in the hope in the past week, though the burr still does not some oat well. It is to be hoped that the thund, r storm of Wednesday more. leg will have accelerated this improvement, yet we ern lewdly see bow It can, as It la the burr that wants developing. Omani grewants amok of the burr "hanging fire," the main bine looking black, the mould making rapid advances, and the weather altogether too add at night to allow much program to be made. The duty is laid at 00,0001. and 45,0001. ficyaux —A c^rr - nrnderit at Rye states that the plants tether there are unstinting • more favourable appearance, though the lops are slow in coming out.

Thum is an impottaut truth enunciated in the re. pert submitted bust night by the Counel of the Per. liatnentatyatd Refnm Avociation to the first aggro. gs'e meeting of the members. It is that their pr.nciples are of a " preservative nature." No constitution—no plan f goverumeut can confer power. It can at moot declare who are the possessors of power, and in what manner they are to exercise it. A monarchical constitution could not creates monarchy in the United Ststee, where there le nom dividual possened of aufficient power to exerc'he the kingly office; a republ•can constitution would be equally unreal in Rani', where all but the emperor and his eivil and military deprndents are politically powerless. To impart teelity to a paper or parchment constitution, the parties recognised in it as the depositaries of politioal power, must exist tefon and independent of it. What constitutes political power? Intelligente and property. Wherever in any society its intelli gence sad property is concentrated there will its political power be found to reside. If one individual and his eatrsps have drawn to themselves all the pro- pert, of the state, and if they are superior in point of intelligence to thetrest of the commnni'y, their power is unaessilable. If a numerous hereditary and hierarchical aristocracy possess the greater part of the community's wealth and intelligence the govern ment will texain in their band , . It' wealth all in. tellience are mote or lees equally diffused through. out society ivatttutions more or km democratical are inevitab'o. It is superior intelligence that ensbles men toss. same the direction of publicaffairs. It is the opinion of their superior iutelligencr, spread this* society, that predisposes the messes to acquiesce in i their management. It s the possession of accords lated property that enables them to procrastinate say struggle ler ascendancy, and starve out their entrain. Hence it comes that in every community there is predisposition, a peculiar fitto es, fur one or other framework of government. The more a country id. veneer; in civilisation—the greater amount of intehi. gene it acquires—the more that intell'uence b ooms uiffused. With the increase of individual intelligence comes increased regulated self-exertion, increteed eonscioustess if the individual's worth and import ance, a wider diffusion of property through many hands. And this chiracterieric of civilisation brings along with it aspirations after extended popular pri vileges. All popular commotione have their ultimate source in a defective arrangement of the balance between the real political power, which exists prior to and in dependent of any constitution, and the conventional power recognised by the political conetitutioo of a country. When the real power in a community exists in a different, or in a more numerous, class than that to which the constitution attributes it, the reties debarred from thu direct and ostensible exerc . sa of a power which they feel existent in them naturally grow discontented and give vent to their discontent in re fractoriness. When this is the case there is only one method of restoring tranquillity, and that is so to modify the national institutions, as to make real sad conventionally recognised power coincide. We have said that the council of the Reform Association, in declaring that their efforts are lot a " preservative nature," have enunciated a great truth; and we said so, because we are convinced that among the classes re cogitised in this country as exercising political power, there is one which lays claim to a greater share of it than it really possesses, and that beyond the limits of these classes ti ere are some possessed of a power, the existence of which the constitution does not recognise at all. The landa aristocracy cr.stitute exclusively one house of the legislature, and their influence m tarns a majority of the member+ to the other home. Yet this seemingly so powerful eriatccracy has, within the last twenty years, been once and again shamefully beaten and baffled by a power out of doors, of which it would fain deny the exigence. Again, there are very few amorg the operative classes who possess the right of suffrage, yet mid the deferential respect which in all discussions of the legislature is paid to these uner franchised—the car' stant, and,toooften,unavailingendeavours toscotheand propitiate them. Tnere are many possessors of poll. tical power in this country who are inadequately represented in the legislature, and many who are not represented at all. The aggregate intelligence and the aggregate property of the middle end lower climes enable them to exereire an influence mom potential over the government and the h gialatare of the country than the forms of the constitution would lead us to believe. And out of this serara'ion of real from ostensible power have arisen many panics, sad will arise worse consequences, unless a timeous modi fication of the constitution prevent them. The financial and pad:me ntary reformers ere the true conservative party: they would conserve peace, and order, and the supremacy of law. Hence it was with unfeigned delight that we witnessed lest night's manifestation in Drury-lane Theatre. About tow thousand persons were there assembled, whom intel ligent countenances bespoke their enlightenment, whose general appearance declared them either pm season of property cr those whose habits of rep lated steady labour are in themselves a kind of property. At the beginning of the evening's proceedings the apparent prevailing sentiment was not that of enthusiasm, but of what in Englishmen is will more impressive. Every man, it was (Anjou came with ready formed opinions to testify by his presence hie devotion to them. There was the ties quil stillness of long cherished resolve. But as the night wore on, and as speaker after speaker appealed to their sympathies, livelier emotions began to pre vail, and to express themselves with more of energf and abandon. And at the close there was as mark warmth of enthusiasm as they who rely upon the effervescent slate of mind could desire. The meeting was emphatically a manifestation of high intelligent and rooted determination. The report approved of by the meeting emhodim practical scheme of parliamentary reform, and indi• cites a system of operations by perseverance in which that scheme may be realised. The meeting wee the final result of preliminary district discussions, held in Lambeth, Finsbury, Marylebone, Tower Ramie% Greener:eh, Southwark, and West London. The temper of the Metropolis has been thoroughly tried, its decision fairly ascertained. And last night the Metropolitan Association, encouraged by matures invitations from the provinces, deliberately &caged its objects and organisation to bo national. The good work is fairly begun. The movement which is to terminate in makiug those who at the present stage of our civilization see the real holden's ( political power its avowed holders, has begun. lid" long the contest is to laid will depend entirely 1 1 4 the amount of energy, earnerenees, at d sourel jedf, meat that shall animate and regulate the councils d those who direct the movement.
